Bernie,

I don't know if you are the correct person to share this information with, but,
if not, please pass it on.

I am researching the Martin family that immigrated from Co. Armagh to
Cayuga Co in the early 1800s. I have done extensive research on this line
and have been puzzled at the Cornwall/Cornwell Cemetery listing that is in
the county historians office for Elizabeth Synton Martin stating that she
shares a tombstone with someone named Ely Synitia. This notation has Martin
researchers scratching their heads. Elizabeth Sinton Martin's husband died
in Co. Armagh and she immigrated to the US with her children. My husband is
in the direct line of her son James Martin who died in Cayuga Co between
1810 and 1820.

Yesterday I stopped in Cayuga County on my way to our camp in the
Adirondacks and visited the cemetery. There is one tombstone with ONE name
on it reading "Elizabeth Synton Martin 1716-1817 Erected in 1890 by her
greatgranddaughter and ____________(section under dirt)son. Presumably the
section under the ground says greatgrandson. I will bring a spade next time
I pass through to check the part I could not see. There is NO Ely Synitia
on the stone (or none in the cemetery that is still standing). The stone
was next to that of Joshua Cornwell and his wife Mary Ann Martin, daughter
of James Martin and granddaughter of Elizabeth Sinton.

I don't know where the confusion came that linked Elizabeth Synton Martin
and Ely Synitia (maybe the SYN caused a transcriber to link them somehow?).
The inscription for Elizabeth Synton Martin appeared to be on the back of
someone else's stone. The other side of her stone is decorated and was
insribed, but the inscription has been carved off by some kind of a toothed
tool. The family probably used the back of someone's else's tombstone for
hers when they erected it in 1890. That practice was not unknown at that
time.

I will send you a picture of the stone when I get home and have the
capability. The website should be corrected because the error creates a
great deal of confusion for Sinton/Martin researchers.

Thank you.

The online cemetery shows:
Morgan, Mary, dau of Joseph & Catherine d.(Jan.19, 1860) 1865 ae 10-3-9
Arthur, son of Joseph & Catherine d.(Jan.20,1860) 1865 ae 4-9-3

Catherine, dau of Joseph & Catherine d.(Jan.20), 1860 ae 6y 9m 21da
Joseph R., son of Joseph & Catherine d.Jan. 13, 1858 ae 7y

This is impossible as from the census records I've found:

The 1860 Federal Census of Scipio, Cayuga Co., NY., Pg. 563 Lines 1 - 3,
Dwelling # 382, Family # 378 shows:
MORGAN, Joseph; 33, male, farm laborer, PEV 30, b. Ireland
" . Catharine; 33, female, b. Ireland
" , Margaret; 9, female, b. NY

The 1870 Federal Census of Scipio, Cayuga Co., NY., pg. 574B, Lines 32 - 37,
Dwelling # 142, Family # 146 shows:
MORGAN, Joseph; 42, male, white, farmer, 700, b. Ireland, male cit. over 21
" , Catharine; 43, female, white, keeping house, b. Ireland
" , Margaret; 19, female, white, Domestic servant, b. NY
" , Arthur; 9, male, white, b. NY
" , John; 7, male, white, b. NY
" , baby; 1/12, male, white, b. NY (May)

The 1880 Federal Census of Scipio, Cayuga Co., NY, pg. 269A, Lines 15 - 19,
Dwelling # 247, Family # 253 shows:
MORGAN, Joseph; white, male, 53, married, Farmer, b. Ireland
" , Catharine; white, female, 52, wife, married, keeping house, b. Ireland
" , Arthur; white, male, 19, son, single, Laborer, b. NY
" , John; white, male, 17, son, single, Laborer, b. NY
" , Joseph R.; white, male, 10, son, single, at home, b. NY

The online records have poor little Joseph R. passing away 12 years before
he was even born. Is there any way to put a notation with these names on
the website? I do not have death dates for them in my files but know that
they lived at least 20 years past what is shown. I'll keep my eye out for
other obvious errors in this cemetery as I go through Scipio.

Thanks muchly,
