May 16, 1846.  Doctor in Ogdensburg and later county coroner, married but no children), Jesse, Helen, Juliette, Anne, buried at Sucker Brook.  The big black stone.  (I left Anne out of the list.)  This entire enterprise was done with a typewriter.  When listing this long families, I can understand this last sentence. 

In the accompanying history to this, the mention was made of Isaac  ( b.1761) being a farmer, and is listed as the first settler in Waddington, NY in 1801.  "The home he built still stands in Waddington."

A couple of things: I've often wondered about my 2nd great grandmother, Mary Montgomery Bartholomew.  The name Montgomery is seen as the husband of Polly.  Not sure if there is any significance.  Also the writer knows quite a bit about Roswell's son Edgar's family, lending the thought that this is where the writer of this impressive document can be found.  Perhaps George Bartholomew, from Morely, NY.  I recollect recently some one writing to me about Edgar.  I need to check through my papers.
