Vital records in New York State weren't recorded by the state until 1880. For early vital records you have to either find church records or hope that the event is recorded in the newspaper. For the time period of this page, there were these newspapers published in Rochester and Brockport:
Note that some of the films have been scratched and some pages are out of focus so there are some illegible records.
The records on this page are extracted as published in the newspaper. Small monthly calendars are included to help when a newspaper record states that an event happened "last week Thursday."
You may wonder about birth records. Except for a few rare birth notices, birth records were not published until the mid twentieth century.
Two abbreviations that appear frequently in these old records are; inst. and ult. Their meanings are inst. = instant, an old word meaning this month and ult. = ultimo meaning last month.

NOTICE.—Whereas my wife Emeline has left my bed and board, without any reasonable cause, therefore I forbid all persons trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting. GEORGE B. MITCHELL. Scottsville, June 25, 1830. LOOK AT THIS.—Whereas ny husband George has given the public notice of my leaving his bed and board, wherein he asserts without any reasonable cause. But were I here to insert all my reasons for so doing, they would be too tedious to mention; but I can inform the reader of this, that he had neither bed nor board of his own, for I supplied him with both from my father's house whilst I lived with him, which was but a short time; and I have now returned to my former residence, with my parents, and by that means have deprived him of both bed and board, (that he speaks if so big). Although he is my nominal husband, I feel bold to say that he is nought but a deceiver and cheat, as he has proved himself to me so to be.—Yes, the nearest nobody as to good character of any person I ever was before acquainted with—which previous to the knot being tied, he by the utmost deception did hide; for before our union, which was but of three months continuance, he pretended the sincerest respect for me and has since both declared and acted out, that he cared not for me, and only married me to deceive me. I was young and not aware of his mock flattering speeches, and was taken by deception, which has given me heart-renderig sorrow; for the short time I lived with him he was the cause of continual grief to me, and an enemy to my peace and happiness. The idea cuts me to the heart, to think that necessity compels me to part with a man that I have once taken for a husband, but I found it impossible (with any degree of peace or comfort) to live with him. I believe I could not have long survived, had I not fled to my parents for relief. I left him in time of sickness, when it was thought by many, and likewise by myself, that if I continued with him I should soon sink into the arms of death, for I was without a nurse, and without much nourishment, and in the company of one, who, I might almost say, continually frowning, fretting and swearing. This man has not an amiable trait in his character, upon a near acquaintance, whatever he may feign and deceive to the contrary; he feels himself all-important, with his overload of arrogance, although he has scarce a worthy friend; he has a direful temper is of a disagreeable, revengeful, suspicious disposition, and is a profane swearer. Notwithstanding he now displays his imperfections to such a degree, he did before our connection, hide them to perfection—as fraud and deception are his most prominent talents. I therefore warn all young and unsuspecting to beware of such smooth, flattering tongues, for in many instances, as in this, poison lurks beneath, and will bring them to sorrow if not to ruin. N. B. My nominal usband, I think, might have saved himself the pains of forbidding any one trusting me on his account, for I confess without his public notice, that I believe it would have been a hard case for me to have found the person that would trust him one dollar; and I have not been chargeable to him to the amount of one groat, for food food nor raiment. EMELINE P. MITCHELL. Chili, July 1st, 1830. | ||

July 23, 1830 MARRIED, Yesterday morning, by the Rev. Mr. James, Mr. EDWARD ROGGEN, of the firm of Roggen and Wood, to Miss ELIZABETH, daughter of Mr. Richard VanKleeck, all of this village. We are always pleased to have occasions like this occur; because we are induced to suppose the parties as happy as life can render them; and because we, the printers, generally come in for our share of the good cheer.—But on the present occasion we feel unusually happy, and with hearts overflowing with good will, we acknowledge even more than a Benjamin's portion of the Bride's bon-fait, and wish her the realization of the happiest thought she has ever had. DIED, On Tuesday evening, William Barton, infant son of Mr. Levi A. Ward. |

July 23, 1830 MARRIED, Yesterday morning, by Rev. Wm. James, Mr. Edward Roggen of Albany, to Miss Eliza Van Kleeck, of this village. On Thursday morning, 15th inst. by the Rev. Wm. James, James W. Sawyer, of New York, to Margaret, daughter of John Cadwell, Esq. of this place. DIED, In Batavia, on the 21st instant, Mrs. Lydia Blanchard, wife of Rev. A. Blanchard, in the 40th years of her age. At Henrietta, on the morning of the 30th June, Mr. Thomas Jones. The manner and circumstances of his death were peculiarly and uncommonly affecting. The morning of the 30th June found him in the same state of health which he had for some time enjoyed. He received with his own family and others, his customary portion at the breakfast table, not anticipating that that was the last time in which he was to receive the food that perisheth. In due time after his avocations at the house were attended to he repairs to the wood lot, a few rods from his dwelling, for the purpose of procuring a trifling addition of material for completing an addition to his barn, which was then in a course of building. The tree which which he with another individual had been cutting fell upon two others near it, in such a manner that Mr. J. was most violently struck by the butt of the falling tree; and, as it proved, received a mortal blow. He lived in great anguish for about an hour and a half, and then expired. His death, so sudden, and attended with such circumstances produced a most solemn and deeply affecting sensation on the community at large, as was manifest from the great concourse of inhabitants of the town assembled at his funeral. To his particular friends it was a source of much consolation that the deceased had apparently, and by profession, made his peace with God. He had been for several years, a member of the Congregational church in this town, and was one of its most firm and useful friends. — This exit of a fellow mortal, so shocking by its suddenness, and unexpected in its occurance, may well impress us with the truth and propriety of the apostle's words. "go to now, ye that say let us go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell and get gain; whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow." Communicated. |

Carpenter, a native of Fairfield, Herkimer county, N. Y. has been mysteriously missing during the last 10 months. All knowledge his friends have of him, terminates at Batavia in the autumn of 1829. The apprehensions of his friends, and painful anxieties of his relatives, are greatly augmented by the consideration that for several years past the said George W. has suffered extremely by the influence of a secret combination, who have shown a disposition to cut off existence, or to render it excessively burdensome to him. Therefore, under circumstances so aggravated and destructive to happiness, his relatives in his behalf most earnestly request editors, especially Anti-Masonic, to insert this article once or more, for which favor and any authentic information of said Carpenter, grateful acknowledgements shall be rendered. Batavia, July 20th, 1830. |

On Sunday evening last. by the Rev. Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. SAMUEL B. DEWEY, of Rochester, to Miss JANE AUGUSTA, daughter of Wm. Myers, formerly of Baltimore. HEAR ME FOR I WILL SPEAK.— Though many of my friends were opposed to my making any reply to a piece published in this paper over the signature of Emeline P. Mitchell, being in their opinion unworthy of notice, yet I cannot let it pass in silence on my part as it is almost destitute of truth. Thought it is evident she is not the author in fact, yet has been weak enough (perhaps compeled) to place her name to piece that from the face of it would induce a stranger to believe her quite a Termagant, and not willing to see her pass off so disgraceful in appearance, I have thought it my duty to say something in her behalf, no she has no such violence of character, for she has over induced me to believe previons to our marriage at least, that she had a share of female modesty, and except she has greatly deceived me I cannot believe her to be the real author of a production so macculine and virulent. Much as I deplore our premature union I have no desire to wound or injure her feelings, but the real author deserves the lash from the hand of every honest man, for there has been used the same industry to separate us since our marriage that there was in hurrying it on before were were ready. Further it has been a subject of the greatest astonishment not only to myself but the neighbors generally why may take the troble to look over the charges made, will perceive what hard work the real author has had; the principle points brought against me are, frowning, fretting and swearing, the latter I disavow as I never was an habitual swearer and all the other charges are either false or quite too frivolous to be worthy of notice, as to my character and disposition I am quite willing to let it pas where I am known for what it is worth. GEORGE B. MITCHELL. July 30, 1830. |

Aug. 10, 1830 ONE CENT REWARD. Ran away from the subscriber on the 8th inst., Wm. Erastus Harrison, an indented apprentice at the business of coach making. The said boy had nothing when he came to me but a parcel of old rags, (which constituted his clothing) and an excellent appetite. It is a fact that can not be denied, that he has been well fed, clad and schooled, and used well in every sense of the word, during the time he has been with me. He had on when he went away, a blue broadcloth coat, black pantaloons, and blue broadcloth vest, black fur hat, and calfskin shoes. The above reward of one cent will be given to any person who will lodge him safely in any county gaol, and give me information thereof.

Infantry and son of the late John Clark, Esq. of New Haven, Conn. aged 28 years. Lieut. Clark has been stationed, as a Recruiting Officer in this place, only about two months before he sickened and died. He had been subject to attacks of this painful disease for two years, which was probably brought on at this time by an exposure, a few days previous, to an inclement atmosphere. Although a stranger he gained, during his short stay in our village, many cordial friends. He was buried, with military honors, by the uniform companies of our village, under command of Lieut. Col. Stone. Divine service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Comstock. page 96 MARRIED, In Framingham, Mass., by the Rev. Geo. Trash, Dr. William W. Reid, of this village, to Miss Eliza Manson.

Oct. 16, 1830 The Funeral.—When a courteous and meritorious act is performed, it becomes the press to speak of it in proper terms. It was yesterday our painful duty to announce the death of a stranger, among us, Lieut. HENRY CLARK of the U. S. army; but to day we have a rather gratifying task in stating that his funeral obsequies were performed by the military of our village, and the Rev. Dr. COMSTOCK, attended by a large concourse of out citizens in a manner not only appropriate to the occasion, but such as to make a solemn and lasting impression upon the minds of the reflecting and considerate portion of our inhabitants. The iniform companies of Capt. SPRAGUE, Capt. KAVANAGH and Capt. DRAKE, and Capt. CALDWELL's Clinton Band, all ubder the command of Majot SAMUEL STONE, were prompt and efficient to bestowing this last tribute of respect upon a deceased fellow soldier, and the services in the Baptist Church, by the Rev. Dr. COMSTOCK, were of that strong, impressive cast, creditable to him, to the community in which he lives, and to the sacred cause to which his life is devoted. The preparations of Mr. MATHIES at whose house Lieut. C. died, and his attentions, bespoke him a man of correct and humane principles; and the appearance in the rocession of the Military officers in uniform and citizens generally, was a sure guaranty that "strangers will not be neglected in the city of the West." MARRIED, In this village, on the 10th inst. by Lafayette Collins, esq., Mr. Luke Fitch to Miss Lydia Griffin, both of Greece. DIED, In Mendon, on the 2d inst., Mr. Nathaniel L.

Oct. 22, 1830 DIED, In Cohocton, Steuben Co. on the 5th inst. Mrs. Nancy Weld, wife of Mr. David Weld in the 39th year of her age. Mrs. Weld had the happiness of being numbered among those who remember their Creator in the days of their youth. At the age of 15 she made a public profession of her faith in Christ. During the subsequent part of her life she gave the most satisfactory evidence that she was truly a child of God. She was characterized by an affectionate concern for the honor of her Saviour, and a deep sense of the worth of souls which admonish those whom she viewed as fellow travellers to the judgement seat of Christ. She loved the house of prayer and was often seen in the sactuary of God after her emanciated form and pale countance reminded her friends that her spirit was but just lingering upon the confines of the eternal world and that soon they would see her face no more. So deep was her anxiety for the prosperity of Zion, and the salvation of souls, that she continued to meet with her sisters in the church who meet weekly for social prayer, for several weeks after she was unable to sit up during the exercises. For several of the last years of her life, she was a prey to a lingering disease which gradually wasted her strength and sometimes depressed her spirits, and obsured to her view the smiles of her Saviour. As she drew near the grave her friends had the satisfaction of hearing her express an unshaken confidence in that God in whom she had trusted, and a willingness to depart and be with Christ. She has left her bereated friends the unspeakable consolation of believing that for her to die was gain.—Communicated. |

Nov. 12, 1830 MARRIED, In Richmond, Ontario co., on Monday morning last, by Rev. Mr. Norton, Mr. Reuben Hickox of Avon, to Miss Lucy Palmes, of the former place. DIED, At Buffalo, on the 28th ult., Mr. Hiram Foster aged 28 years, formerly of Vermont. Mr. Foster was for some time a resident of this village, and very well known and much esteemed by many of our citizens. He embrased religion some years ago on a journey to New Orleans for the benefit of his health, which had been for several months declining. During the journey, he suffered much from privation and fatigue, and also from the ravages of the disease, which finally terminated his life. He endured all the afflictions which were laid upon him without a murmur, considering them as necessary correction of his Heavenly Father. As he drew near the grave, his hopes and prospects grew brighter and he viewed the approach of death with calmness and composure and fell asleep without a struggle ir a groan. The value of Religion is strikingly illustrated in the case before us, not only in enabling its possessor to bear with fortitude the pain and suffering incident to a protracted disease, but also to look upon death as a messenger sent to release himfrom his trials and translate his soul to realms of endless bliss in the Paradise of God. "'Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." |

Nov. 13, 1830 THE EXECUTION. On Friday last, James Gray was executed in this village, for the murder of Samuel Davis. He was taken from the jail a little after 12 o'clock, and walked the distance of about half a mile, to the gallows. He appeared strong and resolute, keeping the most perfect time with the music, which was playing his death march. On arriving at the gallows, he ascended the stairs with a firm step, and without any assistance. A sermon was preached on the scaffold by the Rev. Mr. Fillmore of Rochester, and prayers were made by several of the Rev. gentlemen present. At fifteen minutes before two, he was informed by the Sheriff that his time had arrived. He immediately sprung upon his feet, and stood, unassisted by any one, while the halter was tied around his neck. He then shook hands with the Sheriff, and the clergymen who had attended him—the cap was drawn over his face, and he resolutely stepped upon the drop—the Sheriff cut the rope, and he was launched into eternity! The concourse of people that assembled to witness the execution was immense—not less than 20,000. No accident occurred during the day.—Batavia Times and Press. MARRIED, In Riga, by the Rev.

Barnard, to Miss Susan Ransom, daughter of Col. Asa Ransom, both of Clarence. DIED, At his residence in Gates, on Saturday the 20th inst. capt. Horace Stevens, in the 30th year of his age. In this sudden and afflicting stroke of Providence, a numerous circle of friends and relatives are called to mourning; especially the aged parents feel that the principal pillar upon which they have long, and perhaps too fondly leaned, but they are enabled to say with resignation to the Divine will, "the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." The deceased was truly a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, and kind friend. Many of the poorer class who derived their principal support from his extensive business have lost a real Benefactor. Mr. Stevens, like too many business men, had, until a few days previous to his death, neglected the one thing needful although a speculative believer in Divine Revelation and frequently impressed, in some measure, with the importance of a change of heart; yet he had not until recently discovered the afflicting truth, that "the carnal mind is enemy against God," that he must have an interest in the Saviour, or Perish forever. He became sensibly alarmed by a sermon from Ezekiel 2d 9th 19th, preached by his brother. He felt that lamentations and mourning and woe, would be inscribed on his final sentence if he died in impenitence. The faithful and judicious instructions in the meeting of injuiry tended to deepen his convictions, and led him to see that immediate and entire submission to God was the only safe and happy course; this we have the best reasons to believe he did. The scales fell from his eyes, his tongue loosed, and his deaf ears were unstopped. He rejoiced with "joy unspeakable and full of glory." He continued in this frame of mind perfectly rational, cheering the hearts of christians, and acting in the performance of christian duties from Monday until Wednesday evening; then the first symptoms of his derangement were discovered. These increased until Thursday noon when, he became totally bereft of his reason; which did not return until his spirit was about to take its flight to the unseen world. When he exclaimed "the Lord reigns let the earth rejoice," "not my will but thine will be done." Previous to his derangement, he often read and sung the 33d Hymn, 2d B. "Raise thee my soul fly up and run." as expressive of his feelings. There was doubtless a predisposition to disease in the head, which possibly might have been accelerated by his religious exercises, and which resulted in inflammation of the brain. The wicked and cruel reports that his derangement is to be attributed to Mr. Finney's method of preaching show how miserable are the subterfuges of infidelity, and what empty shadow are grasped to support the kingdom of darkness. The deceased entertained, and his family and relatives have the strongest reason to entertain the warmest affection for this honored servant of Christ. While they gave God the glory for the great change wrought, as they trust, in the heart of every member of the family who was not previously pious, they would not forget the instruments made use of their conversion. A few days since, Mr. Stevens was in possession of many of the enjoyments of this life, with flattering prospects for the future; but he is now numbered with the congregation of the dead. "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh."—Communicated. In Bloomfield on the 29th of October 1830, Rev. Aaron C. Collins, aged 68 years. He preached the gospel more than 40 years, and in the hour of trial and death its hopes sustained him and gave him peace and joy. He directed that his family should not wear mourning apparel on account of his decease. "Mark the prefect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." |

Dec. 3, 1830 Drunkards look out.—On Friday of last week a man by the name of William Hammond at work on a building in Seneca street Geneva fell from a height of more than forty feet, amd was so severely bruised as to survive but a short time. Accidents often occur when the cause is unknown; but in this case the cause was manifested to all present, and the accident excited but little pity: for the sifferer was intoxicated—with him and thousands of others a common infirmity. "Who hath wo? who hath sorrow?" and is liable to all manner od accidents and misfortunes? The drunkerd! Think of this, ye who frequent dram shops, whose faces are red and bloated with much drinking, and who are often seen staggering along the sts. more loathsome than the beast that wallows in the filth beside you. Hammond left a wife and one child. MARRIED, On the 1st inst. by the Rev. Joseph Penney, Mr. JOHN W. STRONG, to Miss EMILY TALBOT, daughter of Theodore F. Talbot, Esquire.

Dec. 3, 1830 DIED, In Pittsford, on the 12th ult. Mr. Glover Perrin, one of the first settlers of the township in the 68th year of his age. Mr. P.'s acquaintance was quite extensive, and those who knew him as a Christian, will long hold in grateful remembrance his liberality in supporting the gospel, his kindness to the poor, and the universal interest he manifested in the cause of benevolence. His dying request was, (O Christian remember it) "tell the church to pray, for the conversion of sinners." When told by his companion that he was dying, "Oh yes," he replied, "I know it, yes I shall soon plough the ever lasting hills of Paradise." I witnesed the departure of this dying saint, 'twas an awfully interesting moment, while gazing upon the emaciated clay yielding up its immortal inhabitant and struggling in the Jordan of death. I did indeed feel the force of the blessed truth, "which hope we have, like an anchor to the soul, both sure and stead fast."—Communicated. |

Dec. 10, 1830 MARRIED, At West Mendon, on the 2d inst. by Rev. Mr. Sill, Mr. Milbury Van Valkenburg, of Portage, Allegany county, to Miss Mary D. Brookens, of the former place. On the 2nd inst. by the Rev. Dr. Comstock, Mr. Wm. Brewer to Miss Ann Allen, both of Rochester. In Brockport, on the 23d ult., by the Rev. J. Myers, Mr. Aaron B. Hull, merchant of Shelby, to Miss Electa Love, of Brockport. DIED, On the fifth Inst. of a lingering consumption, Mrs, Chloe Peck, wife of Mr. Everard Peck, book seller of this village, and gaughter of Mr. Samuel Porter of Berlin, Conn., aged thirty six year. In this brief notice our object is not to eulogize the dead, but to benefit the living, by recording an instance of divine grace, in forming the character of an individual. The deceased was a disciple of Jesus Christ. We do but echo the unanimous sentiment of those who knew her, when we say that seldom does the death of a female, occasion a more perceptible chasm in the circle of her acquaintances. In the various relations of neighbor, wife, and mother, she was kind, affectionate, devoted, and exemplary. She was a sincere, humble, active, and prayerful christian. Her kindness and generosity to the poor will long be remembered by very many. Modest and unostentatious on her manners, those who knew her best loved her most. It was in her last sickness, that the triumphs of faith appeared most conspicuous. For several months before her death being sensible that she could not recover, she was enabled to resign her temporal interests, her friends, her husband and children, into the hands of her merciful Father, and implicity to confide in his promises. Her chief desire and prayer were, that she might be entirely submissive to his will, and glorify him in her death. This it pleased him to grant. In the immediate view of death, she was peaceful and happy. In her last moments she was attended by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Penney. When he entered the room, she said to him "I think I am dying, but I am not dismayed." She pointed him to the state of her pulse as evidence that she was not mistaken on being asked if she had peace, she replied with emphasis. "Great peace," and calmly fell asleep. Her christian friends present considered it a profitable scene. The predominant feeling since expressed was that of gratitude that her conflict was over, and her sufferings ended, and that the circumstances of her sickness and death, had been marked with so much mercy. "The chamber where the good man meets his fate Is Privileged beyond the common walk Of virtueus life, quite in the verge of heaven." Ye who scoff at the religion of the Bible, as a delusion, do not even you sometimes feel constrained to covet a Christian's death, and say, "Let me died the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!"—Communicated. In Penfield on the 3d inst. George Hosmer, only son of Dr. H. Graham, aged 6 months. In Brockport, on the 17th ult. Mr. Ira Brockport aged 22, son of Hiel Brockway Esq. |

Dec. 17, 1830 At Henrietta, Nov. 24th, Mrs. Anna, wife of Dea. Wm. Ellis, aged 67 years. She expired after an illness of several years, which she bore with apparently christian patience and resignation.—Com. In Canandaigua on Monday the 6th instant, Mrs. Frances Warner, wife of Mr. Hiel Warner, and daughter of the late William Shepard Esq. in the 26th year of her age. Her distant friends will be consoled to learn that all the privations and suffering incident to a lingering and protracted consumption, were borne with the most perfect resignation, and without a murmur. Though naturally possessed of a most amiable disposition, she early learned the folly of trusting her hopes of happiness on such a basis; and in the morning of her days dedicated herself to Him, who had bought her with his blood, The last prayer which her parting spirit was heard to utter, "Come Lord Jesus, O' come quickly," was spoken with a smile so sweet, and so confiding, as to leave no doubt, that He in whom she believed, had plucked the sting from death, and despoiled the grave of its victory.—Repository |

Dec. 31, 1830 DISTRESSING ACCIDENT, Mrs. Hawley, wife of Curtiss Hawley Esq. of Avon, sometime last week thinking one of her children (a little girl) unwell, attempted to give it a medicine, commonly known as Piera which the child refused to take. Her little boy about nine years old, to induce his sister to take the potion, volunteered to taste it and the little girl than drank the rest. The boy soon after vomited, and both showed the symptons of approaching lethargy and stupor. The mother became alarmed, and on examination discovered that from two phials, she had selected one containing Laudanum, the dreadful effect of which now became alarmingly apparent. Medical aid was resorted to, and the boy after about six hours, was placed out of danger; but the little girl who had taken a deeper draught, sunk into a state of insensibility upon which the drugs of the physicians could produce no effect, and from which she was never aroused, until death had closed her brief career. The accident is a dreadful one and should not be forgotten by mothers, nurses, and others who are called upon to administer medicines. DIED, On the 28th inst, Emma J. wife of Marcus Moses, of the village of Rochester, aged 25 years. The friends of the deceased are requested to attend her funeral at 3d presbyterian church at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Moses sustained the character of a christian in her life time—at her death, took leave of her little infant daughter, resigning it to the Lord who gave it—with that sweet composure and humble submission, which none but the faithful followers of the blessed Jesus, can feel and died without a struggle, and truly said. "Blessed are the dead, who die in Lord." |
