I'm trying to find out more information on my grandfather. His name was Francis Cushman and he was married to Lena Mae White. I don't have any dates to go by. I'd really like to find out more about his family history. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

patty,
what is the rough timeframe for your francis cushman? i am two gen removed from the cushmans that lived here throughout the 1800s. i live in central ny. we are probably related through my gggrandfather prentice cushman.

I am looking for info on a Laura Cushman (1850-1899) in Oneida County area. She was married to William Wraight (1849-1899) and the had a daughter Sarah. I was hoping to find out who Laura's parents were etc. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

We have a Laura P (Percy) Cushman b. 1850 d. 1899 who was married to William F Wraight. They lived in the town of Floyd, Oneida Co., NY which is near Rome. Laura's parents were Alman D. Cushman b 26 Oct 1809 d. 28 Feb 1898 and Nanacy Van Valkenburg b. 18 Nov 1820 d. 6 May 1897, they lived in Floyd also. I have Nancy's father as being Richard Van Valkenburg according to her death cert. and Alman Cushman’s parents as being Solomon Cushman and Hannah (no maiden name) according to his death cert.

yes that is a side line of mine. we both join the same line at solomon cushman. i am out of town at the moment and moved recently. i can give you what i have once i get home. for a more immediate source that is generally accepted as gospel for the cushmans look at henry wyles cushma's book on the genealogy of the cushman lines. i cannot think of the title but a barnes and noebel search will give it to you. my line is not included beyond my great great grandparents, prentice and polly ann (palmer) chushman. but the solomon cushman line as it is in HWC's book is as i can find correct, at least back to robert cushamn and the plymoth plantation and the mayflower. if you would like a more indepth answer please email again and i will give you everything i have back to england. but it will take me a little time to find the appropriate boxes.
tom.
ps
off the top of my head, this is not cast in stone, i believe that hanna's maiden name was lumpkin. i can verify for you when i get home.

Tom: I have been following this thread and note the posts by you and Hiedi, dated 12 Nov 2008. I have entered all of the Henry Wyles Cushman name/birth/death data into a database, and also added many more cushmans at: http://homepage.mac.com/cushgen/Descendants/fh_toc.htm
but I do not have record of the Cushmans that you and Heidi are discussing. I would like to have you and Heidi to contact me so I can try to hook you up to the Cushman family tree.

I'd love to have a copy of what you have when you get a chance. My e-mail is hacrawley@gmail.com. We also just recently moved so I know how it is to not have your genealogy files at your finger tips! I look forward to your reply and seeing what you have. Thanks Heidi

My grandmother was Lena Mae White(mom's mom). I know it's been awhile, but if you have information on her I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
