Nathaniel Hillyer; Marcellus, NY; Early 1800's
Seeking information in regard to the parentage of Nathaniel Hillyer who resided in Marcellus, New York from approximately 1798 until the time of his death on October 8, 1855.Nathaniel was married to a woman named Hannah (who died on March 11, 1856), and the couple had children named Chester Hillyer, Miron Hillyer, Catharine Hillyer, and Hannah Loiza Hillyer.Hannah Loiza Hillyer married a man by the name of Rockwell and moved to Jersey City.Catharine married a man by the name of Walrod.Miron is believed to have married a woman named Philinda Griffin.
Nathaniel and Hannah are listed in the 1850 census as having been born in Connecticut.Am trying to tie Nathaniel and his wife back to their roots in this state.It is believed that Nathaniel's father is Nathaniel Hillyer from Simsbury/Granby, Connecticut, but there is no firm proof of the connection at this time.Any leads would be appreciated.
