I have some strong clues that my Great, Great Grandfather was born in (or near)
Morrisville, NY (Madison County).
His name was Delos CARY, born abt. 1808. His wife's name was Sarah A. SEAMANS,
b. abt. 1817. She was also born in this area, possibly Oneida, NY. The 1850
Federal Census shows them living in Pompey, NY (Onondaga County), however, the
1860 Census shows them living in SMITHFIELD (Peterboro post office). In 1860,
Delos would have been 52 and I believe he may have died in Smithfield (death
date unknown). His occupation on the 1860 Census lists him as a "farm
laborer."
Delos & Sarah Cary had at least 12 children (according to the 1850 & 1860
Censuses). In alphabetical order, they were:
Amanda Cary, b. 1847; Burton Cary, b. 1852; Delburt Cary, b. 1857; Edwin Cary,
b. 1843; Francis (Frank) Cary,
b. 1840; Frederick Cary, b. 1858; Homer Cary, b. 1851; Marshall Cary, b. 1838;
Morris A. Cary, b. 1845/6; Sarah Cary, b. 1841; Warren D. Cary, b. 1844; Wesley
Cary, b. 1854. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
