Hi Rod:
I was just stumbling around on a slow day here and came across your Day family
site. This is my family. I'm descended down from John Day b.
1544 to Richard Day to Robert Day to John Day to John Day, Jr. to Abraham
Day to Ephraim Day to Abraham Day to Abraham Day to Abraham Nelson Day to
Arthur Day to Arthur Abraham Day (my Dad). This is really neat.
I'm going to mark your site and spend some time there. Thanks so much,
Dennis L. Day

Re: Day Family Genealogy post, 8 Jan 2002
Post lists birthplace of Abda Dolph as 'Middlesex or Fairfield Co., CT'
- it is thought that he was born October 25, 1743
in Middletown; then his family moved to Bolton, CT where he was baptized November
6, 1743, by Rev. White.
Abda Dolph II, grandson of Abda Dolph, married Amelia Porter, daughter
of Daniel Porter of Fort Ann, NY.

Hi Rod,
Hope you can help me. My maiden name was Day. I am from a line that ascending
goes:
Sharon Day
< father Maxwell Merrill Day
< father Everett Henry Day
<father John Delmont Day
<father Charles Day, born 1787 Hartford, Conn
<father Charles Day who died in NY 1787 before his son was born.
The widow returned to Hartford and married a ? Loomis, a cooper who raised
the son..they then went to Indiana, Kansas, and Colo. where I was born. We
are stuck with the first Charles. A diary by his grandson says he died
at age 26, which would place his birth around 1761. We were wondering if
he could be the Charles that married Sarah Merrill in 1784 in New Hartford,
Litchfield Conn? We have searched your line, and wondered if either the John
Day b 1726, or
Noah b 1740 could have had a Charles. The IGI shows they were born in NJ..is
that correct?
Thank you for any help you can give.

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. Jeff

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:
Working to find the missing generation between your last generation of Day's
and where mine picks up in Delaware County. Stephan, Orrin, Ira and John
Day all arrived in Delaware County about the same time. The Gazatteer referenced
Stephan Day as coming from Conn. Orin and Ira were quite prominent in affairs
in Greene County around the turn of the century(1800). Ira and Orin funded
the building of the county courthouse at Catskill, Greene County in 1812.
I have land purchase
records from 1797 in Delaware County.
Grace Spencer may have not been mother of the Days in my line..Watch this
