Louisa _____; b. CT 25 June 1773. Is she in your records?

If members of your family went from Connecticut to Bath, Steuben
Co., NY before 1810 and, in particular, if they were Baptists, then
you may hold the key to unlocking the origins of my elusive
ancestor, Louisa (_____) Streeter. A thorough review of all
publicly available sources has failed to reveal her maiden name. My
only hope in identifying her origins lies in finding unknown
privately held documents such as bible records.

Thanks for your help,

Perry Streeter ()
Canandaigua, New York

Thomas-1 Streeter (William-A, Richard-B), son of William-A and
Ann (_____) Streeter, was born probably at Dunnings Farm in the
parish of East Grinstead, Sussex, England on 22 [or 25] June 1753
(bible records in possession of Kaye Evelyn (Kenfield) Hall,
hereinafter Hall BRs). Thomas was christened in the Parish Church
of St. Swithun at East Grinstead on 16 June 1754 (EGPR); emigrated
from London, England to "New Providence," on the site of modern-day
Kanona in the township of Bath, Steuben County, New York in late
1794 and died in Canisteo, Steuben County, New York on 18 September
1831 (Hall BRs).
Thomas was married second, probably at Bath, New York about
1807, to Louisa _____, who was born in Connecticut (1880 U.S.
Census, New York, Steuben County [birthplace of Thomas-2 Streeter's
mother]) 25 June 1773 -(Hall BRs) and died in Canisteo, New York on
12 January 1844 (Hall BRs). She was probably a daughter, sister or
widow of one of the other Connecticut pioneers who came to Bath
around the turn of the century, perhaps via Eastern New York or
Pennsylvania. Thomas was a Baptist Minister; Louisa was probably
a Baptist by birth or conversion. Variations of Louisa's name in
some records include Lovica and Lovisa.
