Elizabeth Getman and Menzo Martin, Warranty Deed

Warranty Deed
Elizabeth Getman and Menzo Martin

This deed was transcribed for the site by Allyn Hess Perry, co-cordinater Wayne County GenWeb, who was born in Ilion, but over the past several years or so found out that many of her ancestors are from Oppenheim, St. Johnsville, Dolgeville and is trying to figure out where other connections are. Her ancestors are: William S. Hess (1842-1921) married Sarah Lassell (1846-1896) -they are buried in the Rural Cemetery in Ingham Mills.   Martin Keck and Andrew Keck (wife Catherine Burns) from Oppenheim. Then there is Salem Clemons (1856-1928), another Gr Grandfather from Oppenheim. I'm curious about Hessville - there is only a small mention of it in a book about Fulton Co. Someone must have heard stories about it..........If you are related to these families or have information, Allyn would love to hear from you!

Note: {Throughout the body of this paper the name Putman is spelled as so. However, the signatures show the spelling to be Putnam. –ahp}
