In the Mid-1770's, several forts along the Mohawk Valley in New York were rebuilt, in anticipation of an attack by the British. One of the outposts which had recently been reconstructed was For Schuyler (a.k.a. Fort Stanwix). It was commanded by General Phillip Schuyler. In mid July of 1777, concerned of a British offensive, General Schuyler requested troops from the Tryon County Militia. The county Militia consisted of mostly Palatine farmers who were concerned about leaving their families unprotected. The County of Tryon Committee of Safety voiced their concerns in a letter to their commanding officer, General Nicholas Herkimer. Below is a an image of letter to General Herlimer, from my 6th Great Grandfather, William Seeber, Chairman of the Comittee of Safety. Transcribed: "Canajohary this 12th of July 1777 To Br Gen. Herkeimer Sir This Committee of the County of Tryon got certain information, that the Troops under Col. va...

My copy of FTM 2012 arrived yesterday. I got is all set up, and downloaded my tree from Ancestry. It does take a while. I have over 3000 people in my tree, a lot of pictures. The software downloads this AND most all of the media associated with the Ancestry sources....that's a LOT of census images! Very cool that they are now all downloaded to my computer! So far I have been very impressed. I worked on resolving name places (and making them all consistent). This has gone quite well, and the changes have been uploaded to Ancestry. Changes I have made in Ancestry have seamlessly made their way to FTM. The only other feature I have had time to try is the migration mapping. Very Nice! You can uses your facts which have location information to track your ancestors movement over time. Have an event you don't want to use? Simply de-select it. So my preliminary verdict is: two thumbs up!

I am starting a research project using a combination of cluster and surname analysis. The Seeber migration to Illinois from New York. Several of the Seeber’s migrated from New York to Illinois, settling mostly in McHenry, Lake and DeKalb Counties. Of main interest to me is David Seeber, my 3rd great Grandfather, who migrated to Illinois with his son, Lorenzo, and Lorenzo's family. My interest stems from his will, which is witnessed by Garrett Seeber. There is a Garrett seeber of the same generation, from the same state (New York) living in McHenry County (not too far away). Are they related? Brothers? Cousins? According to the General Land Office (GLO) the following Seeber’s held land in Illinois Sylvanus Seeber   (b May 1823) wife: Celestia (b 1827) 9 Jan 1846   10 April 1847 Section Twp Range Meridian Counties 31 43-N 9-E 3rd PM McHenry Abraham J (A J, Abram I) Seeber (b 1815) wife: Delia, Dellia...
