III. Emma Crosby - born 1875 according to the 1880 census of Schoharie, NY and living with her parents and siblings. Grandma Margaret Woodward said she was called "Aunt M", she married a Laraway, had one son called Leslie, and lived last in the Delanson, NY area. In the 1900 census of Binghamton Co., NY, we find Jacob Laraway, age 32; wife, Emma, (Roots web wrongly has her as Amanda) born December 1875; and one son, Leslie, born November 1895. IV. Charles Crosby, Jr. - born in September 1879, according to the 1880 Census of Schoharie, Schoharie Co., NY, where he was living with his parents and siblings. He was receiving Social Security and that record says he was born on September 29, 1879 and died in April of 1965 in the state of New York. We have a copy of his obituary that says he died on April 1, 1965 in Sharon Springs, NY and buried in Middleburgh Cemetery. It gives his date of birth as September 29, 1877 and says he was born in Huntersland, NY. It also names his parents and says his wife was "the late Euretha Conklin". His only survivor was "Miss Katherine Crosby" indicating she was not married in 1965. Katherine Crosby died on February 13, 1979 in Cobleskill, NY at age 78 and was buried in the same cemetery as her parents. V. David P. Crosby - born on August 7, 1882, and his birth is recorded in the Birth Records of Middleburgh, NY. This record names both parents correctly. He next appears in the 1910 census of Fulton, NY, as David L. Crosby, age 27; wife, Retha A., age 23; and daughter, Josie A., age 3. Also living in the house was Hebert Weidman, age 23, nephew. Again in the 1920 Census of Florida Township, Montgomery Co., NY, he is listed as David B. Crosby, age 32; wife, Retha E. Crosby, age 31; and one daughter, Josie Elida Crosby, age, 13. Charles Crosby's parents were Abijah Crosby and Elizabeth "Betsey" Crosby. Abijah Crosby was born in 1797 in Berne, Albany Co., as he is listed in the 1850 census of Middleburgh, Schoharie Co., NY, house #1090-1091. He is listed as age 53, with his wife, Betsey, age 46; Willard, age 17; Mary J., age 10; Seth, age 11; and Charles Crosby, age 9. He is also listed in the 1860 census of Middleburgh with children, Mary, 25; Seth, 21; Charles, 19; and Alva Crosby, age 4 (not identified as a son). Abijah Crosby is found in the 1820 census of Berne, NY with one male and one female in the house. This was Abijah and his wife. They did not have children until 1821, thus we can assume they married around 1820 in Berne, NY. They were living next door to his mother, Jerusha Crosby, and a John Crosby, probably his brother. In the 1840 Census of Middleburg, NY he is listed as "Hijah Crosby" (Handwriting hard to make-out) with one male, age, 40?49 (1791 ? 1800); one female, 30-39 (1801-1810); 3 males, 15-19, 2 males, 5-9; and 1 male, 22
