PADGETT-VAN BUREN

The Padgetts of Chenango County, N. Y.
Three photos of gravestones in the Brooksbank Cemetery, near Oxford, Chenango, County, N. Y. These photos are of the gravestones of Elizabeth Van Buren Padgett and her husband and James Padgett. Also, the Gibson monument is that of one of James' cousins - I have presented it here so that you may get a glimpse of the ruralness of the old cemetery where there are few stones remaining. This is a very hard-to-locate cemetery just outside Oxford.

ALLEN

Information on my Allen connection may be found on my database. Very few photos exist for my Allen family; however, because many of the descendants of Elijah and Persis Houghton Allen moved to the State of Kansas, I have been sent many photos of their descendants. My great-great grandmother, Prudence Allen Putnam (b. 1802), had a brother Thaddeus Houghton Allen, and it is he who is the ancestor of many descendants living throughout the country, particularly in Michigan and Kansas. His photo appears on Mark Wentling's Pioneer Portraits Site

The following are pictures sent to me by Patti Unruh of Sedgwick, KS - remember to use the database clickable above to learn more about those photographed:
Photo of Amasa Allen and his wife, Rhoda Quiett Allen. Amasa was the son of Thaddeus and Mary Ann Otis Allen, who were married in Jefferson County, N. Y., then went to Ontario, Canada, Michigan, and ultimately to Sedgwick, KS, where many of the Allen descendants now live.

OUR NEW GENERATIONS

Nephew, Scott A. Van Camp authored two recent books, sent me one, and included in the preface is the following:
"My name is Scott Van Camp and by reading my book you have made my dream come true! "I am an artist and therapist who has worked with children and their families for 14 years. During my career I have worked in treatment centers, as a crisis worker, and as a family therapist. These positions have allowed me to see the impact of intense triumph and tragedy on the lives of children and to further nurture my deep compassion for their experiences. "Thank you for your support. I would be honored for you to read my upcoming additional books: "My Amazing Dream Journey - A boy chooses to turn his fearful dreams into whimsical adventures. "The Wonderbug- The Wonderbug learns to overcome sadness through curiosity and her connection with others in this touching tale of transformation. "Peggy's Search for a Whole- The story of Peggy's search to fit in and how she finds wholeness."
Good Luck, Scott. We're all very proud of you. (by Aunt Shirley)
