I sent a return message to you but I think my mail system trashed it as
I never received a receipt. I'll try to some it up in a few sentences. As
it turns out, my missing generation to the past is the same generation where
your John Day-Sarah Loomis leaves off. Has anyone done research on their
off spring or any of the others of John Day-Grace Spencer other than what
is listed on
your site? My G-G-G-G Grandfather is listed as John Day Jr. on the 1800
Federal Census of Delaware County NY. The county was primarily settled by
the people of the Colchester-New London CT area in the early 1790's. My John
Day
settled at a place called Dickinson City (later named Cannonsville) in
1787. It's near the town of Colchester NY. ??? Any idea's? If the families
can be connected it would bring your DAY lineage up to date and take mine
back to 1604.
Let me know what you think. Jeff Day
More from Jeff Day 5/8/99:
Thought I would provide you with an update to what I belive is the link
in the missing generation. With some help, I've found that the Stephen Day
I refered to previously was the son of John Day and Sarah Loomis. Ira and
Orin were Stephen's son's. His brother John Day was my John Day Sr. The difficulties
have been that it was my John Day Sr. that was ommitted from further recording
in Rev. Geo. Day's book on the decendant's of Robert Day. The book recorded
his birth as the eldest son of Deacon John Day and Sarah Loomis but no other
information. SO, I still have my work cut out on researching Colchester
CT for John Day (b. 1738). I believe he may have married a Martha Hatton
in Colchester in 1757. The LDS records show that a Martha Hatton had been
the second wife of John Day the(I) but he had been dead for nearly 100 years
before the marriage date so it would be a fair assumption that someone OOPS'ed.
If Martha Hatton did marry John Day in 1757 it probably was my John Sr. as
my John Jr. was born in 1759 and John the III in 1797.

Hi Rod,
My wife descends from Robert Day. I have information on the
parents and lineage of Anna Day, wife of James Bigelow (1764 - 1840) if you
are interested. Her parents were Noah Day and Ann Loomis. I didn't
know if you already have the information and just
haven't posted it, if you don't have it, or if it's a family that you're
not really interested in. But I thought I'd make contact with you in
case you'd be interested.
Let me know if you would like more info., including her birthdate, etc.
I really enjoyed visiting your page. The cemetery pictures are a
very nice touch.
Take Care!
