[Note: Lt. Whitney D. RUSSELL and wife L.M. are buried in Marion Cemetery. Roswell B. & Olive A. HARKNESS and a son Pharoelius are also buried there, as is Olive's mother Anna Powell POTTER, the widow of Deacon William Potter. The 1849 registered births of Marion NY show Ellen U. Harkness was born Mar. 14 to Roswell B. & Olive Harkness. The March 1865 issue of The Commercial Press, Town of Williamson, notes that "Elijah Eldridge of Marion, has sold his farm of 106 acres, to Roswell Harkness." Regarding his mother-in-law's family, the book History of Wayne County, NY, 1789-1877, notes that: "Daniel POWELL, a very charitable kind, and well-to-do man for those times, had moved out from Massachusetts to Palmyra, bringing with him his family, consisting of his wife and eight children. After a short stay here, he moved to the town of Marion, in the year 1795, and took up the Allen Knapp farm, of one hundred and twenty-six acres. It was then undefined, and untouched by the hand of improvement. In this unbroken forest he came with axe upon his shoulder, and alone began the work of preparing for himself and family a home and support. A log house was constructed, a piece of ground was cleared, so far as felling the trees and burning the brush, and then corn was planted, and, later, wheat was scattered among the logs and stumps upon soil excited by the teeth of the rude and cumbrous drag. He lacked not strength nor manly vigor, as is attested by the clearing of over five hundred acres in the towns of Williamson and Marion. He sold the partially cleared farm in 1816 to David Harding. A son, Jesse, lives in Macedon, aged 73, and a daughter, Mrs. Anna Potter, six months of age when the family came in town, enjoys good health at her home with her son-in-law, R. Harkness, in Williamson."

If you need more immediate access to see who else lived in the Town of Williamson for this census year, a search of their own transcription can be ordered from the Office of the County Historian in Lyons, or census film can be rented from a Mormon Family History Center.

Censustaker C.P. Patterson's penmanship was neater and more legible than most, a pleasure to transcribe. However, several surnames were difficult to make out. If someone's name is totally off-base or misinterpreted, or a number was read wrong, please contact the site coordinators with the correction. It's advisable to take all online census transcriptions as a starting point and view the original census microfilm yourself.
