PALMATIER Fri Jan 17 16:47:53 1997
I am researching the PALMATIER genealogy. My great-grandfather, GEORGE PALMATIER and his wife, ROSETTA BARTLETT moved to Walton in abt. 1903. His parents were HARMON and MARY J. (BENTON) PALMATIER. Rosetta's parents were ERASTUS and NANCY BARTLETT. I have a photo of George and Rosetta in front of their "new" house at 288 Front St. I also have photos of George in his grocery store on Delaware St. and Prospect Ave. I would appreciate any information on the PALMATIERs, BENTONs, or BARTLETTs; the information I have makes it appear the PALMATIERs dropped into Delaware County out of nowhere. I believe George and Rosetta moved to Walton from Sidney Center (Central) where they were married. My grandfather, EARL PALMATIER moved to Buffalo where my father, ROBERT and I were born and raised. Also have descendants EZRA PALMATIER and HARMON PALMATIER who were possibly in the 144th NY Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. ANY INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

PATRICK or
PATRICK1-97

PATRICK Mon Dec 16 18:51:05 1996
I'm sort of a novice at this but have had some success. I do know that a John Patrick was born some where in Schohaire County in 1807, not sure, but think his parents were Abraham Patrick and Lucy Gurnsey. Do not know if Abraham was born in NY State or arrived there direct from Ireland. In any event, Abraham and family eventually moved to Canada via the Niagara Area approx. 1811 / 12 and finally settled in Middlesex County in the now Province of Ontario. He and various family members are buried in Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery in Lambeth, Ontario Canada. Have tried to check various lists for "Patrick" names, but ones I have come across, appear not right line. Any info will be greatly appreciated and willing to share what info I do have on the above. Also researching the surnames of: Morris; Tait and Green, all with links back to England

PRESTON Wed Apr 30 14:06:06 1997
Hello My name is Carol Huber in Northern CA. My ancestors lived in Albany Co, the part that later became Columbia County. One became a lawyer & graduated from law school in Albany Co in early 1800. Just to show my connection. What I want to find out is about the Hannay Papers held in the Albany Institute of History & Art. These papers were compiled by Col. William Vanderpoel Hannay (1896-1976). These papers list the buriel places with the birth deaths and marriages of my PRESTON family, I have a copy. On these papers we found the maiden name of the wife of John Preston to be Thankful Darling. I would like to know if they have any more information on the Darling family. It is wonderful family information and I would like to know if you know of these papers? Are they on film and if so can they be ordered by interlibrary loan or is there any way they can be read because they may hold priceless info on out Darling family. The entire Preston family is listed and I am sure this would be invaluable information to many searching in your County. I appreciate any help you can give me in this matter, as you can see it is not possible for me to go there easily. Thank You for helping with the wonderfud GenWeb project. Carol

PRIME/PRUYN/PRUIN Tue Nov 19 09:05:17 1996
Seeking information on the Prime/Pruyn/Pruin families of Montgomery County. My last identifiable ancestors there are David Pruin (also spelled Pruyne) who married a Eunice French and had my gggf David P. Pruin/Preme/Prime who was in turn married thrice: 1st to an Ann Courtney, with son Abram C. Prime; 2nd to a Virtue Coons, with issue daughter Hannah; and lastly to Nancy Ellen Vedder, 1823-1898, by whom he had sons Israel Day Prime, Albert, Jacob, John; and daughters Mary Jane (Langley) and Anna (Bille). The family name was apparently anglicized over the years. Baptismal and marriage records from the Dutch Reformed Church at Fonda show David P. Prime slowly changing the spelling of his name from the original Pruyn(e) to Pruin/Preme and finally to Prime. He and Virtue moved to the Allegany/Cattaraugus County area circa 1841, when Virtue died. He married Miss Vedder the following year and my ggf, Israel Prime, who later used the name James Francis Prime, was born in 1843. Would greatly appreciate any information on how David Pruyn(e) and Eunice French tie into the historic Pruyn families of Montgomery and Albany counties.
