Thanks Kim. Is your Isaac of West Oneonta, Otsego Co, NY?I have a record of one who died in 1872, but nothing else. I also have an Isaac Green Northup of the same town who is in my family branch.
The great news is that I have, last year, finally put my Northup family together all the way back to Stephen Northup who came from England to Rhode Island in 1645 and settled in Kingstown, living in a large wooden box to keep away from wild animals until he could build his cabin. I decend from his son David Northup and on down to Emanuel Northup who was a Baptist preacher and farmer in West Oneonta, NY, father of Josiah Northup, father of Emanuel Northup born 1807 who married first Elinora Preston.They were the parents of my gg grandad Gilbert E. Northup b. 1832 and Elizabeth Northup b. 1836 in Franklin, Delaware Co, NY.Elinora died shortly after the birth of her daughter Elizabeth and her husband, Emanuel re-married in December 1836 to Sally Betsey Gorham and they are buried in Oneonta.I cannot find where Elinora is buried in either county or who her parents were, so I'm off trying to solv e another family mystery.I do have most all of the Northup side if you are interested in what I have, just use my e-mail address.
