• Notes

  Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet - 1)Census Records: from Del.Co. Gen.&Hist. online (op.cit.)- Ozias appears on the following: 1) Otsego Co., NY 1810, New Lisbon Township- from the Census Index, op cit, and from Sheet sent by Virginia Schoradt - need microfilm a) Otsego Co. NY 1820, New Lisbon Township, p116 b) Schoharie Co. NY 1830, Sharon, p 124 c) Schoharie Co.NY 1850, Seward, p342 d) Otsego Co. NY 1855, Milford, p ? - living with daughter Lucinda & her husband-per Russell Luce 2) 5/6/2001 - Correspondence with Schoharie Co., NY Surrogate's Court - no will/probate records on file forOzias in Scho.Co. Will inquire at Otsego Co. Surrogate's office. Then on to Land Records search. Inquiries are also in to Town Clerks and Historians. 3)RRW - has name as Osias. Have also seen Ozious 4) BIRTH VERIFIED - a. Mansfield Town Records - Book 1, page 132 [Births] - Certified Record of Birth - Ozias, Son to Nathaniel Southworth Junr by Desire his wife was Born Septemr 18th1778 b. Martin Southworth Family Bible - July 2001 Ozias Southworth was bornIn Mansfield county of Windham and state of Connecticut sept. the 18, 1778 5) Baptism - from 'Births, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths from the Records of the Town and Churches of Mansfield, Connecticut, 1703-1850'; (NEHGS Photoduplication, 1997, New York: The Baker & Taylor Co., 1898; by Dimock, Susan W. 6) Regarding the date Ozias left Connecticut and came to New York - The marriage date of August 6, 1802, and the PLACE - SHARON, NY as taken from the Martin Southworth Family Bible (July 2001), show that Ozias was definitely in NewYork by 1802 at the very least, and most likely by 1801, as there had to have been time for them to meet, etc. Demmis Rowley's family was already in Schoharie County as of the 1800 census. It is possible that Ozias passed throughSharon, on his way to Otsego Co., thereby meeting young Demmis. The families Rowley, Fuller, Stetson, Southworth are just a few of the Connecticut contingent to come to the areas of Otsego and Schoharie Counties in New York in the late 1700-early1800's, and as the Genealogy reports show, were intermarried, some quite densely. Just because Ozias is not shown as owning land right away, doesn't mean he wasn't there. Also, just because he is not on a Censusas a Head of Household, doesn't mean he wasn't there. He could be enumeratedunder another household, or be one of those who is simply shown by first nameinitial, and whoever transcribed it, may have mistaken an 'O' for a 'D', aswas done in the Census Index (as shown below), not having the knowledge of family relationships to help figure out what the letter should have stood for,and not knowing how to transcribe old script. He may have come between censusyears, ie., after the 1800 census, and definitely before the 1820, when he is first and definitely enumerated under his full name. However, the NY 1810 Census Index, op cit, shows a number of Southworths as follows: Note the errors: SOUTHWORTH: D. Otsego p149 10010-20 should read? 10110-20 per New Lisbon sheet (below), difficult to read G. Otsego p149 30010-31 J. Otsego p131 11201-21 L.L. Otsego p149 10110-10 S. Otsego p142 21010-00 As can be seen on the 1810 Census sheet for New Lisbon,sent by Virgina Schoradt: The 'D' shown above has been mistranscribed - it should read: 'O' for Ozias. Likewise, the 'L. L.' is clearly an 'S. S.' for Samuel Stetson 'G' is Gurley I have no idea as yet who the 'J' or 'S' could be, but they, too, could be a mistranscription. The page Virginia sent is notcomplete. The 'J' may be Rev. James Southworth 7) As for Place of Death - Virginia sent excerpts of G.C. Southworth's work on Hiram Southworth, In whichhe states that Ozias 'probably died near Columbus, [Chenengo Co.] NY.' According to G.C. Southworth, Ozias had property in C
