Having been born in Pittsfield, Pike, IL, I am amazed to see so many of my Waggoner line move to this area. If you have information about Samuel H, I would be most interested to share. Eleven years ago we moved to Grafton and have found many of my Waggoners living in this area.

Sylvanus is born 1750 in Warren, MA. I have no birth info on Asa. Sylvanus & Asa were two of 11 siblings. Sylvanus’ son Marcena/ Marsena, my gggg-grandfather moved to NY and lived in multiple locations in NY before moving to OH. The family descendents moved west to MI from there. Looking for info on family and birth info on my ggg-grandmother Almira Louise Brooks (m. Ives), possibly born Erie or Genesee Co. 5/6/1833. Thanks.

Albert is not a twin but a year younger, a I believe. The family lived in this area during the 1830s before moving to Denmark, Ashtabula Co., OH. Almira Louise is daughter of Marcena/Marsena Brooks b. 1789 MA, son of Sylvanus Brooks b.1750. Almira has atleast 4 other siblings, if not 8. Mother Sarah Boss Brooks.

I’m looking for information on Marsena Brooks, an original settler of Town of Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY.

“Marsena BROOKS, from Hampden County, NY did not settle in the town until about 1822. He remained till about 1829, when he removed to Ellicottville, and from thence to Ohio.

The jury list of Ellicottville for 1823 shows the names of those liable to jury duty who were residents within the portion of the town above referred to as part of the present town of Ashford, namely:

Marsena BROOKS, farmer
Charles BOSS, farmer
Others”

I believe he was born in Boston in the early 1800′s or late 1790′s. I’m looking for his ancestry as I have most of his lineage, my family amongst them. I’m also looking for information on Elmyra Louise Brooks and her twin Albert, born in Buffalo, May 6, 1833. Elmyra is my great-great grandmother. Thanks!
