Gideon Holliday
Gideon HOlliday was born in Berkshire, Mass before 1800, he married Martha Coon born in Duanesburg, Schenectady New York.It was written that he was a Justice of the Peace there, a farmer, a mechanic at one time the high Sherrif of Schenectady, and supposedly a member of congress.I have only found his name in two records.The bio of his son Ambrose in Indiana and as a named ancestor in an SAR lineage for his grandson through his daughter Mercy Holliday, and the Revolutionary soldier named in the lineage was Samuel the father of Gideon.Gideon HOlliday had 13 children it is said with Martha Coons.Gideon died in 1829, Martha in Ohio in 1864.Of those 13 kids I know that Ambrose S Sr. my ggGrandfather was one, his sister Mercy, a brother Elias, and another brother J.J. who may also have ben Eliasas Elias had J as a middle initia.But of those 13 kids who most are unknown to me, I have to have a lot of first cousins a few times removed out there from this line, and hopefully your branch of the family tree kept better records than mine.I have a few photos that are probably some of your ancestors from the Holliday line.So any cousins fo mine speak up.
