THE LAW FAMILY IN EARLY MONTGOMERY COUNTY "


The early Law familles of north- ern states came from .Massachu- setts and Connecticut,. They crossed over into New York state shortly before the Revolutionary war. In the censu's records of Montgomery coun- ty the earliest appearance of the name is in 1810 in Northampton township (now Fulton Co.) Benja- min Laws with wife, 2. young sons and 3' daughters.


` In 1840 in Canajoharie township was & Samuel Law, born about 1795 with wife and aged mother, 4 grown sons and 3 grown daughters. (This may be Identical with a Samuel Law aged . 55 and wife Aleda, aged 44 with sons Cornelius aged 9 and Ham- Milton aged 4, recorded In 1850 .in Canajoharje township.


There are earlier records of Laws in Montgomery county than the cen- sus records. In 1788 a daughter Jean was born to Wm. Beekman


and Joan Law, baptized at Stone Ara- bia church (Stone Arabia church re- cords.) This name may have actual- ly been Lauer or Lawn both of which names apply In the area.


The most interesting early Law record of Montgomery county is the tombstone of James Law born 1748, died 1827, a Revolutionary soldier and buried in Chariton Presbyterian


church cemetery (New York in the Revolution page 412.) The ancestry of this James Law back to John Law. of. Acton 'is known, but little is known, of his descendants.


In '1828 a Daniel S. Law of Johns- town was witness to the will of Wm. C. Mills' of Johnstown which was probated in 1829 (N. Y. Gen. Soc. Rec. 57. 273. In 1840 Henry Law of Amsterdam was buried in Green Hiil cemetery (N. Y. Gen. Soc. Re- cord 66. page 85.)


" In 1820 there died at Perth, now Fulton county, David Law, born 1747 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Evidently he does not belong to the earllest Am- erican Law lines. His daughter Eliza married at Albany in 1804 Rev. Rob- ert Proudfit of Broadalbin and bore him 7 children,


In. 1801 to 1809 a Mary Law or Low (it is written both ways in the manuscript) who had married Joseph Cunningham had children baptized in the Dutch Reformed church of Fonda: Caty in 1801, 'Marian and John in 1805 and Joseph In 1809 (N. Y. Gen. Soc. Rec. 2 page 145.) Data concerning descendants of any of these lines' will be greatly welcomed by the undersigned. Law Vage,

JOHNSON, SPICER


Information is desired on the fol- lowing:


The origin of the Johnson family to which belonged William 1, William II and William III. Tradition claims that the original Johnson, William I came to America during the reign of one of the three King Georges.


William III is known to have mar- ried Achsa (Dana) Gibbs about 1805 in or around Fenner, New York. His father, William II, married Margar- et. Fratz of Albany, New York and grandfather, William I, married Ann Spicer probably about 1770-75.


Records seem to indicate that the Spicer ' family all came early into New England although Spicer Gen- ealogy fails to show Ann. This points to the probability that William John- son I may have married Ann in New England and came into New York Steuben County, before the Revolutionry War. Hornell, N. Y.
