Grayce,
I have no idea where in state of N Y they were born. One parent came from
Vt and other came from CT. As is on the 1900 Lewis Co Census in wa state.
I did just recently find Wesson onan Iowa census but haven't persued it as
yet. Those are the only ones found them on that I have been able to get to.
Wesson mar a martha Hill ?? in 1835 in N Y. But the Iowa census has another
name that he marroied unless it is a diff and I don't think so as his bro is
on same census.
I have been on sites and etc and sent out numerous messages and the only
Wesson I found is in Iowa with a number of Caleb Baldwin's in the line.
That line is in the Fam Hist center IG I and Ancestry file.
He is younger than mine but I feel somewhee there is a connection but
haven't found it yet.
