I have PAF but can download Gedcom files into it. What did Montgomeryt County NY used to be? Where is Fonda NY? I loved seeing Ezekiel Shelp's grave but it raises many questions. My Ezekiel Shelp was born in 1832 8th of 9 sons of John and Abigail (Wallbridge Shelp of Jessup Township. From family stories I know that he apprenticed to several dentists and became a dentist himself. I found him in the 1850 census listed as 19 years old and living with a dentist named Dr. Whiteash (sp.) of Towanda township in Bradford County PA. Fortunately or unfortunately, there is another record of Ezekiel Shelp age 20 living in the Towanda Hotel in that same census. Is it the same Ezekiel recorded twice or a different Ezekiel Shelp. Our Ezekiel Shelp died 22 Oct 1900 in St. Louis Missouri and is buried in the Gregory plot at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. (Mrs. Frank Gregory was his daughter in law's mother.) Our Ezekiel was married to Harriet M. Smith of Wilkes Barre. They had 3 children, Carolyn Louise, Williard Bailey (my great great grandfather) and Victor L. In the 80's my mother and step-father were really into geneology and when my stepfather died in 1991, my mother printed a book of Moseley-Shelp Family. I have attached pages about our Ezekiel Shelp. Any ideas about this? I'm confused. Thanks again for all your help. I will enjoy hearing from you.
