This web site is the collaboration of many people. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all who helped in any way:

• Our ancestors, who, for the most part, stayed on the "right side of the law," allowing us to have this web site!
• Our parents, who allowed us to reach adulthood in spite of ourselves. They had enough wisdom to take a lot of pictures, and to keep them in good shape.
• My sisters, who have put me up and put up with me while I was doing my genealogical searches.
• My children, who continually provide me with pictures of my grandchildren.
• Marilyn, Debby, and Elaine, who have been so helpful in our ancestral search.
• Addie Shields, the Clinton County Historian, and Brenda Rabideau of the Plattsburgh City Clerk's office, whose courteous assistance made my life so much easier.
• Contributors to the various internet sites, especially Mr. John Wolcott. They have spent untold hours searching and researching, and still have the time and consideration to share their findings.
