Charles L. Vreeland & Abbie Day, late 1800's, upstate NY
Hello,
I am looking for any assistance you can toss my way.I have some Vreeland ties from the late 1800's that I am trying to learn more about.Here's what I know.
Charles L. Vreeland
b. abt 1841
d. bef 1880
I think Charles' father's name was Isaac and his mother Eliza, but I'm not sure of this.
He married Abbie (Abigail) Day before 1868.They had 2 children:
i.Charles D., born abt 1868
ii. David S., born abt Nov 1869
This was obtained from the 1870 census for Ithaca, NY.Both Charles L. and his son Charles D. died sometime between 1870-1900, most likely before 1880.Some time after their deaths, Abbie Vreeland and her son David S. changed their names back to her maiden name Day.I am descended from David.He was my great grandfather.
All of this is what I've learned from a number of census reports regarding Abbie and David from 1870-1930.They are always listed as living in upstate NY, in or near Ithaca.
I have a number of old photos labelled as Charlie D. Vreeland, which would have been David's older brother that passed away.I also have other photos of Vreelands that are not labelled with first names.I'd like to learn about the name I almost had.
I'd be happy to share some of the pics if any of you think we might have them in common or whatever.Thanks in advance for any help.
