I'm looking for anyone with any connection to the Thomas and ELizabeth Sreeves family who lived mostly in western New York around the Watkins Glen area in Schuyler County. Thomas (abt.1800-1868) and Elizabeth (abt. 1806-1884) had children Charles, Thomas, Daniel (my great-grandfather), William (Iived all his adult life in Watkins Glen), Sarah, and Marillia (possibly Mariah). This name is often misspelled, usually as Shreeves but I've seen many variations. Heard once that it was French and originally "LaSreeves" but never found anything to support this.
Does anyone out there know anything about these people?
