I have some information on Larissa. When Seth died in 1826, I believe, he was in East Aurora, NY. His son, Seth, Jr. died within a short time in the same year. It is Larissa's line that takes us back to early Colonists: Gov. Bradford of the Mayflower; Arthur Howland, brother of John of the Mayflower; Thomas Richards, of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. of Boston etc. I have a lot on the Lamb line, too. I never did follow up on her death. I have the records of his dying intestate and a inventory at the time of his death. I don't think this is much help. I'm a descendant of Seth's son, Porter, who died in Wichita, Kansas in 1892. Those McKays stayed around Buffalo, but his son, Joshua Newton McKay was in Brantford, Ontario, Canada in the 1870's to about 1890. Then they show up in Holland, Michigan. My father was born in Brantford and reared in Holland.

I love reading about all the different branches.
