Delaware County NY Genealogy and History Site

This is a timeline and record of proof documents in my possession for Gilbert Northrup of Franklin, Delaware County, NY. Maybe something in here will jog a memory of who his parents were. Parents that are listed on Gilbert's Death Certificate are Arastus ??? Northup & Elnore Preston ? I question if either name is right. Info given by Orpha Davis Northrup, Gilbert's second wife. - Annette Campbell

These three individuals are buried side by side in West Oneonta Cemetery, West Oneonta, Otsego Co, NY. Elizabeth b. 1836 died in 1911 6 months after a stroke from the effects of the same.

Gilbert & Elizabeth Northrup were children of Emanuel Northrup and his first wife Elinora Preston. I think maybe Elinora Preston was a daughter of Justus Preston and his wife Lucretia Pratt, he is buried in Franklin but she is not or at least no stone showing. Justus had 4 sons and 3 daughters according to the early census. Justus was born in 1788 and Elinora would have been born about 1810 to be a mother to Gilbert in 1833 and Elizabeth in 1836.

Elinora died after the birth of Elizabeth on July 4, 1836, her husband Emanuel re-married in December of that year to Sally Betsey and they are buried together in Oneonta. No trace yet of Elinora ca.1810-1836 anywhere in either county.
