I am trying to find this person.. / Mary Ellen Sly / I found an article in a NY Paper dated 1912, where she is listed as a next of kin of JEREMIAH LAPE, who died in Michigan in 1884.. Jeremiah is the son of Corneilus and Sarah Rydroph Lape, from Schenecady NY.
If you can help me to connect her to the family, plmk...
in the article listed below, I am suppecting she is a daughter of Cora Lape Horn. Cora is the daugther of Leonard Lape Sr.(brother of Jeremiah), and a sister to Williiam H.., and Leonard C. Lape. Cora had two daughters: Mary Ellen b. 1869 and Emma (Smith) b. 1873.
Would anyone know of a Lape-Sly connection???
Leonard Lape Sr. was married to Ellen Monrow. She died in 1923. Her obit says she was survied by daughter Emma Smith of Rome NY and Mary Ellen Vamiere of Rochester, NY.. I cannot find anyone by the name of Vamier.. so assuming she might have been Mary Ellen Sly in 1910-1920..
Any info greatly appreciated...
