I am looking for information on two families and have hit a wall.
The first person I am looking for and ancestry on is Adam Rowe born about 1840 - 50 d. about 1927 buried in Churchtown with his wife Sarah Sheldon Rowe (Sarah is a descendant of Friend Sheldon of the Livingston/Taghkanic area)Adam and Sarah had two children that I know of : Melvin H Rowe who married Clara Louisa Richmond on 11/22/1893 in Valatie NY(who was the daughter of J.B Richmond and R.C? Richmond.) and Callie Rowe who married James finkle in 1898 in Hillsdale NY. They had four children.
Thier first was Clara Rowe born 1899 married Arthur Saulpaugh of Hudson NY.
Thier Second Child was Harry Finkle b 1900 (the branch of the family I am researching who married Loretta Johnson b 3/23/1900 - they married 7/3/1920 in Philmont NY, Harry died 1988 and Loretta d 1981 both in Hudson NY.
The third Child was Harvey Finkle b 1902 m. Melva Edith Hutchins had one child Floyd b 1934 d 1978.
The fourth was Mabel b. abt. 1904 died young.buried in Churchtown with Adam, Sarah and Callie.
Adam Rowe may be the son of a Henry Rowe but the only info I have is a 1950 census record from the town of Taghkanic list Adam and a William H Rowe as the sons of Henry and Eliza I Rowe. Nothing to connect or even to know if this is my Adam Rowe.
The second person I am looking for is the above James Finkle who seems to have dropped in and off the planet with almost no trace. The only info on him is that he married Callie Rowe in Hillsdale NY in 1899 and they lived in Philmont NY in 1910 with thier children. He and Callie separated and he moved perhaps to Westchester(according to family "legend") and remarried. Callie and Clara moved in with her Parents and and Harry moved first to Ancram with his aunt Alva Decker(listed in Callie's obituary as her sister) then to Eagle Mills(near Albany) with a Henry H Holbrook(don't know the connection) This information came from old postcards written to and from Harry at that time. Harry and Harvey then live in Philmont in 1930 - but James has disappeared.
I am posting this in the hopes someone will recognize a name I will greatly appreciate any leads anyone could give - have lots of misc. info on Rowes Finkles and Sheldons to share - Thanks!
