I am looking for info on my maternal grandfathers line. It begins with: Burton Orello Cary
b 12 Feb 1878 NY married Roseanna Huff born 1896, c1915. He died in Aug 1945 Syracuse NY
(I am told). I can find virtually no trace of these people in any records.
Burton's parents were: Nelson Cary born 1846 Hamilton Co NY, died 1894 who married
Nellie Catherine Keller (1847-1932)in 1867. Nelson had a brother Reuben b Feb 1845, died
1933 who was a well known guide in the Adirondack area.
Nelson and Reuben's parents were: Thomas R Cary and Jane Dornburgh. Both were born in
1815 NY (though one record states Thomas' place of birth as VT). Thomas died in 1899.
Jane died in 1866. Both are in the Long Lake Cemetery.
I have gotten nowhere beyond this. I cannot go back any further and I can't find any
info on Burton and Rose. It is a family story that they met on a ranch in Wyoming and that
at one point he rode with the Wild West Show. But that's all I know.
