Bathsheba married Charles Burns in 1708 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. Charles was born about 1686 in Germany; died in 1730 in New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In June 1746, while Franz Burns and his brother[Samuel] were hoeing in Cohoha cornfield, when they saw their barn on fire. On nearing their cottage door, they beheld a stack of French rifles and in their fright the brot(hers separated. One ascended the trail over the Kreigger Rocks and hastened up the valley to Fort Massachusetts, and the other turned up the river and met an ambuscade of warriors, who gave chase for his scalp. He plunged into the river and hid beneath piles of driftwood until the Indians retreated down the valley. The next morning, he rose from his hiding place and proceeded to the English fort, where to his surprise he found his brother.
(The Hoosac Valley: Its Legends and Its History, Grace Greylock Niles, 1912, p.121)


Note: It was common in the frontier of eastern New York (before the Revolution) for settlers to build their homes together for protection even when their farmland lay elsewhere, with a stockade enclosing most houses (usually within close distance to a military fort). Thus, a family’s residence and the land a man worked did not necessarily occupy the same location.

Samuel married Magdalena Pruyn on 25 Feb 1739 in Albany, Albany County, New York. Magdalena (daughter of Frans Pruyn and Annetje Margarieta Bogart) was born on 11 Jan 1721 in Albany, Albany County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1800 in Pownal,VT next to his son, Samuel. 1810 living in Marcellus.

Albert Wiltsee in 1897 wrote of his grandfather, John Wiltsie that "He went to see a strictly Dutch girl" to get married and therefore be released from bondage of Mr. Buley (marriage was the only way he was told). We assume this is Polly Burns, his wife, d/o Francis Burns.

Samuel married Martha Aylsworth on 18 Feb 1780 in Pownal, Bennington County, Vermont. Martha (daughter of David Aylsworth and Marth Franklin) was born about 1763 in West Greenwich, Kent County, Rhode Island. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1810 - Marcellus,NY - living with husband Wm Foster (no Nathan Tanner in town).

"Major Martin Cossit, a Revolutionary soldier, settled in the village in 1798. In March, 1799, the settlement of Thorn Hill was commenced by David Earll, Eleazer Burns, John Wiltsie, and Nathan Tanner, who came hither from Washington county on sleighs drawn by horse teams and oxen. Mr. Earll died upon his original farm and was succeeded by his son, William, who, upon his death, was followed by his son, Shepard. This is one of the very few instances in Marcellus of perpetuity of title and actual residence. Thorn Hill, situated in the southwest corner of the town, was named from Obadiah Thorn, a later comer, who was instrumental in establishing the post-office and mail route, and who was for many years a highly respected citizen and widely known as an extensive wool buyer. He subsequently removed to the Baldwin farm, near Skaneateles."

Albert Wiltsee in 1897 wrote of his grandfather, John Wiltsie that "He went to see a strictly Dutch girl" to get married and therefore be released from bondage of Mr. Buley (marriage was the only way he was told). We assume this is Polly Burns, his wife. With this bit of info I find in the History of Hoosac Valley that early(pre1746) "squatter" of the area of Pownal and Hooasc Valley included a "Franz Burns and his brother" - Many family history online note that Polly, Hannah, John and Eleazor's father was a Mr.Burns of Scottish descendant. I fine this not true at all. The record referenced is Virginia immigration records and there is no proof that the Virginia Burns is the same Burns in the Pownal areas. I think the new 'leaf' thing on Ancestry has taken some folks to believe all the suggestions are fact - and once one person adds that data, it multiplies without basis in real facts and soon the real clues are lost or become clouded.

My theory is that the Thorn Hill Burn's are descedants of Franz and/or his brother(unknown name) Burns that settled in the Hoosac Valley. Franz (Englishized to Francis - a common name in the Burns family).

Hannah married Nathan Tanner, Jr. about 1782. Nathan (son of Nathan Tanner and Elizabeth Foster) was born on 22 Feb 1763 in Hopkinton, Washington County, Rhode Island; died about 1809 in Marcellus, Onondaga County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hannah married William Foster after 1810. William (son of Josiah Foster and Ann Duntom) was born on 7 Apr 1753 in Suffolk County, New York; died on 23 Apr 1813 in Marcellus, Onondaga County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some family trees have him born in Scotland. I don't understand where that came from (except those darn 'leafs' on Ancestry.com). 1880 census of his children all show their parents born in New York, and Thursa was living with her brother Alanson, both say born in New York and even made the point that Thursa was born in Vermont.

John Burns, came from Onondaga at an early date to Sweden, Monroe Co, [NY], afterward settling about two miles west of Holley in the town of Murray where he was a farmer. John Burns married Ruth Willy and their children were: Dennis, who settled in Genesee County; Andrew who settled in Murray and died at Carlton; Chauncy; Blake, who settled in Murray; Polly, who married William Knight; Thirza, who married Peleg Burrows and for her second husband Torrey Winslow; Betsy, who married John Baker; Alanson, who married Esther Smith and settled in Murray; Walter, who married Hannah Smith and settled in Murray; Henry, who settled in Illinois.

Notes:

John WILTSEE 7,
son of Thomas Wiltsee, s. of Jeremiah, s. of Cornelius, s. of Marten Wiltsee, b. Jan. 9, 1770, m. Miss Polly BURNS, June 15, 1788; d. in 1852. He first lived at Pownal, Vt., after his marriage. He moved to Duanesburg and lived several years, and then accompanied his cousins Cornell and Benjamin Wiltsee to Onondaga Co., New York, in the spring of 1813 and settled at Marcellus, four miles from Skaneatelas. He made his home there the remainder of his life. He became wealthy, and gave each of his family a farm and personal property to do business with. He visited his parents when his mother was about to die in Pownal. He visited his brother Jeremiah in 1841, and his relatives in Chautauqua Co., N. Y. He visited them again in the spring of 1844 before the death of his brother, and the family and others in the summer of 1850. He made the journeys with a single horse hitched to a covered carriage. His wife was dead, and he was extremely fleshy. It was difficult for him to walk far, and traveling was very tiresome for him. "I was East in 1897," wrote Albert Wiltsee, s. of Eleazer Wiltsee, s. of John Wiltsee, "and learned little or nothing in regard to my Wiltsee relatives. The old ones are all dead, and the young ones know but little about their ancestors, and care less. There are a few things connected with my grandfather's life that are a little sad, a little romantic, and a little laughable. When he was about 14 years old, he was bound out to a man by the name of Trip Buley. His mother and grand-father [David Cary] are said to have been the instigators of it. He was not furnished with enough food nor sufficient clothing; and he ran away when he was about 18 years old, and was arrested and taken back. He was informed that the only way he could get released from bondage was to get married. He went about it at once--went to see a strictly Dutch girl. It snowed in the night; and towards morning, when he opened the door to go home, he saw that the ground was covered. He hadn't a shoe to his feet. His girl got rags, and tied them around his feet, and he started home. Some hunters coming that way, mistook his tracks for bear tracks, and followed him to the house."

Mrs. Effie M. Curtin, 68, Died In Sleep After Illness Of Two Weeks

Mrs. Effie M. Curtin, 68, widow of Emmett R. Curtin, Sr., died at 3:45 a.m. Saturday in the family home, 931 W. Market-st. The end came peacefully while she slept.

The popular Lima woman, who accompanied her prominent husband thru his rise to fame from the humble place of oil field worker to one of the leading bankers and oil and gas company operators in this territory, had been seriously ill for the last two weeks. For more than eight years, however, she had been in ill health that curtailed her activities. Death resulted from heart disease.

Mrs. Curtin was born in Allentown, N.Y., a town which was named after her father who founded the community. Her parents both have been dead for more than 40 years.

Mrs. Curtin attended a primary school in Allentown and was graduated from a high school there. The Curtins were married in Belmont, N.Y., July 26, 1891.

After the marriage, Curtin, in following the westward trend of the oil field activities, came to the Lima area.

In 1910 the Medina Gas and Oil Co., which her husband helped organize, made a contract with the then Lima Natural Gas Co. which brought Curtin and his wife to this district.

For a while Mr. and Mrs. Curtin lived in Findlay while he was associated with the Ohio Oil Co. After several years, the family moved to St. Marys where Curtin was named superintendent of the Manhattan Oil Co. Subsequent operations by her progressive husband brought the Curtins to Lima where the family home has been located ever since.

Mrs. Curtin was a member of Christ Episcopal church. Activities in the parish, in addition to the oft repeated phrase "my husband and son first," were Mrs. Curtin's primary aims in life.

Emmett Curtin, Jr., who formerly was president of the West Ohio Gas Co. and followed in his father's footsteps in oil and various other business enterprises, is the sole survivor. Four nephews, Allen Brady, of Toledo, who is connected with the federal revenue office, and Guy Allen, of Tulsa, Okla., an associate of the National Supply Co.; Harold and Max Loveless, both of Bradford, Pa., as well as Brady's son, James A., Jr., also survive.

Last rites for Mrs. Curtin will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday at the 931 W. Market-st home. The Rev. Richard O. Petersen, rector of the church of which she was a member, will officiate. Burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery.

Pallbearers, named by Mrs. Curtin before her death, probably will be Dr. Harvey Basinger, Benjamin S. Motter, L. B. Merritt, Wallace H. King, Harry Wright, Jr., J. F. Solomon, H. L. Solomon and Frank G. Kahle.

The services is to be directed by the Davis, Miller and Son mortuary.

Two Killed in Crossing Accident Near Wellsville. No Chance to Stop Automobile on Slippery Road in Time to Avoid Being Hit by Train.
Another grade crossing accident resulting in the death of two men, was tragic Sunday news in Wellsville, COLA L. SISSON of Almond, and ALFRED L. STUBBS, of Auburn, were instantly killed on the Erie crossing in the Proctor District, when their automobile was struck by west bound Erie train 7. The accident occurred at 10:30 o'clock, Erie train 7 running about on time was speeding into Wellsville at a fifty mile clip. The Proctor crossing is two miles east of Wellsville station and there is an open view of the track from either direction. Mr. Stubbs was driving a Ford sedan and Mr. Sisson was sitting along side of him. Evidently the men did not notice the approach of the train from behind until almost upon the crossing, although the engineer had seen the car and was blowing the whistle sharply, trying to warn them. The driver evidently attempted to stop the Ford sedan within a few feet of the track, applying the brake and pushing on the reverse foot lever. The car was seen to approach within a few feet of the crossing, skid around on the slippery road and then back directly onto the track in train [sic]. The car caught on the front of the locomotive, was torn into small pieces and carried for hundreds of yards, Sisson being thrown out about 300 yards from the crossing, while a portion of the wreckage was cleaned off by the trainmen when the train stopped nearly 500 yards from the crossing Mr. Stubbs, the driver, had been forced through the enclosed car and was sitting on the pilot of the engine but dead when the train stopped. The train was fortunately stopped near a railroad telephone booth in the yard limit and the Erie station was called and orders received to back the train up, where the body of Mr. Sisson was removed from the railroad embankment, placed on a stretcher and taken into the baggage car. Mr. Stubb's body was left on the pilot of the engine and the train proceeded to the Wellsville station, where undertaker EMBSER took charge of the remains and removed them to his rooms on West State street. Corner [sic] COOLEY arrived a few minutes later and examined the property of the dead men, thus arriving at their homes in Almond and Auburn. The accident was almost beyond explanation. Mr. Sissons was familiar with the road and must have realized he was approaching the crossing and despite of the snow falling at the time, there was a good sight of the approaching train, the track and the road running parallel for half a mile. Evidently the men were deep in conversation and did not realize the train was on them until within a few rods of the crossing and in applying the foot brake and reverse pedal, caused the car to slew around and back onto the track. Portions of the car were strewn alongside the railroad for a quarter of a mile and the car reduced to bits of scrap iron and kindling wood, with the exception of the front end, which was evidently carried on the pilot of the engine and when removed the headlights were intact and the glass and headlights unbroken. Both men were instantly killed, Mr. Sisson's body being terribly mangled, the left leg broke in ten places and the body finally thrown clear of the wreckage before the train stopped. Will HALLADAY living on the Proctor road, and some 300 yards east of the crossing, was in the back yard cutting wood. he noticed the car go by, traveling at not more than 20 miles an hour and thought it was a neighbor. Only a few minutes elapsed when train 7 came whistling by his house, the whistle loudly tooting and he looked up just in time to [rest of story missing]
