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:
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.

Jan. 12, 1839; page 11 On the death of George C. son of Doctor L. K Faulkner, aged 4 years and 9 months. And art thou gone–for ever fled, Thou loved and lovely one, And can we think of thee as dead, Thy soul as ever flown? That cherub voice in death is hushed, Its laughing tones are stilled, And pale that cheek with joy once flashed, Life's pulse for ever chilled. Ah! stricken hearts do mourn thee here, In this dark vale of tears, Thou wert to all who knew thee dear; And died in childhood years. But is it meet to mourn for thee, And weep thine early doom? Thy ransomed spirit now is free, Flown to its bliss'ul home. That eye now beams with love divine, That heart with gladness filled, That form with glory age will shine, Its pains for ever stilled. That hand now sweeps a golden lyre, And wakes its slumbering notes, And joining with that heavenly choir, Thine own sweet music floats. That tuneful voice thou now wilt raise, With angels round the throne, And sing loud anthems to the praise, Of the High and Holy One. Thou wilt not see the smiling spring, Restore its flowery reign, Nor hear its joyous music ring, From forest, hill and plain. But brighter is thy spring on high, Where sweetest flowerets bloom, And fair and cloudless is the sky, In thine own heavenly home. Rochester, January 1, 1839. — — S. I. C. MARRIED.

On the 20th instant, Cornelia, eldest daughter of G. H. Chapin, Esq. aged 9 years and 10 months. "Suffer little children to come unto to me and forbid them not; for such is the Kingdom of God." In the death of Cornelia Chapin, a striking manifestation has been made of the uncertain tenure of our earthly blessings. She had lived long enough to feel the force of the most precious and enduring ties of the social nature. And while her young heart was prompt to kindle with the pure flame official and sisterly affection, she was beginning to form herself to those emotions and exercises of piety upon which are built up the undying hopes of the interminable future. Her departure leaves a vacancy in a large and loving circle, which she was accustomed to fill to create the most pleasing interest in the minds of her parents; and her docility and proficiency in the studies and acquisitions suitable to her age, were replete with happy passages. None or these presages will be lost. Her good affections, her docility, and her desire of improvement, have parted with none of their unspeakable value. On them death had no power. Under our infinitely wise and gracious Teacher, and in His more immediate presence, it is the consolation of her friends to believe that her disencumbered spirit is now in a condition of more rapid advancement than can be enjoyed on this side of the grave. In this cherished belief and in the trembling hope of witnessing in the spiritual world, her successful efforts to accomplish the high ends of her being, her bereaved friends have resigned her to the all wise Father of the human race, and would say to the natural risings of the sorely stricken an afflicted heart, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord." — [Communicated. |

Graves saw Brockway in Rochester about the 15th of October, and supposed he was deranged, which was probably the fact. He was embarrassed in his pecuniary affairs; but his wife has settled the whole, so, if he is living, he can return to his family safely. Said Brockway is of small size, slim, and straight built; light complexion, brown hair and blue eyes; he is a tailor by trade; and he is a member of the Presbyterian Church, in good standing. Any one possessing any knowledge of his fate or situation, by informing the subscriber, may save his wife from an untimely grave, as she is rapidly failing under her disconsolate affliction. Possibly Brockway has gone to London, as it is his native place. Editors generally are requested to copy the above as often as they consistently can.

WILLIAM LORD, of the town of Killingworth, Middlesex county, Conn., left three, four or five years since for Whitehall, on Lake Champlain, to distribute to subscribers a book entitled, "The Mariner's Chronicle." After this he was heard of 9 miles from Schenectady, in company with one Hadlock from Vermont (who was represented to be a notorious knave and swindler) in the tin pedling business, and that Hadlock agreed to carry him to Buffalo for a stipulated sum – and lastly supposed to have been seen there on board a steamboat, with a grey horse and tin man's cart, going up the Lake from Buffalo. He was a young man of steady habits, and it is not believed would knowingly be found in vile or vicious company. If living, he is about 27 years old– 6 feet high– slow of speech– small hazel eyes– brown hair, and walks a little stooping. In behalf of his afflicted, widowed mother and friends, this appeal is made to the sympathies and benevolence of all owners, masters, or captains of steamboats on the Lakes, and captains of boats on the Erie Canal; owners or keepers of public Hotels and Stage offices in Buffalo and Detroit, or intermediate places; that if he is yet alive they may have his name, or give us some account of him. And it is believed that there are one or more ministers of the gospel in Buffalo by the name of Lord, who are distantly related; will they not lend their aid and sympathies? And if he is dead, is there no angel hand that wiped the cold sweat of death from his brow; no kind physician or sexton who will tell us where you have laid him, or where he may be found or heard from? Any information respecting him, directed to the subscriber, or to the editor of the LeRoy Gazette, will be thankfully received. P. S. Will the editors of the Rochester Democrat, of the Mercury and Buffalonian, and of the Detroit Advertiser, aid the cause of humanity by noticing the above. SIMON PIERSON — LeRoy, Feb. 20, 1839. |

Octavius Mason, Mr. Samuel Hard, of Warsaw, Genesee co., to Mrs. Julia Simmons, of the former place. On the 11th instant, by the Rev. G. S. Boardman, Mr. Elias Swanton, to Miss Ursula Cassithorn. DIED. At Brighton, Monroe county, New York March 28th, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Justus W. Gale, in the 25th year of her age. While teaching school in this city, Miss Gale was attacked with bilious fever; left her school on Tuesday, returned to her father's house in Brighton, on Saturday, and died the next week, on Thursday. — Some time previous to her death, she began to bleed at the nose, this could not be stopped, and was the immediate cause of her death. The character and conduct of Miss Gale, was in many respects worthy of imitation. She was conscientious and persevering in whatever she engaged. — Courteous and kind in deportment she readily won the esteem and affection of these with whom she associated, and was most beloved by those who knew her best. At the age of 12 years, she made a public profession of religion, uniting herself with the Congregational Church, in Brighton. She was distinguished above most young professors for consistency of christian character and devoted piety. She evidently loved her bible and her closet. In examining a bible which she kept for family and closet reading, the writer of this found the most striking passages noted by pencil marks. She has showed that she not only read the bible, but obeyed the comment "search the scriptures." This both furnished her own mind with subjects for religious contemplation and reflection; and did much to qualify her to fill her place as a sabbath school teacher. In her death the church has lost one of its most devoted young members; the Sabbath school a punctual and faithful teacher, and children wherever her influence was felt, one that labored for their good. Her parents too, and their remaining daughter, and now only child, have been deeply afflicted. The wound, which a few years since was caused by the death of an only son and brother, has been made to bleed anew. We trust however, that the consolations of religion, will be their support, and that this affliction will work for their good.—[Com. |

She was a dutiful daughter, a kind sister, an affectionate wife, a fond, indulgent though prudent mother, and a sincere friend. She was an [illegible] follower of the Redeemer, walking in his footstep with great humility. The [illegible] of her heart, which influenced all her actions won the friendship and esteem of all who knew her, and her gentle and unassuming manners, unconscious to herself, was at once a rebuke to sin and as ensurement to virtue disregarding the distinctions that divide society, she was alike assessed to all, illustrating, not by pompous world but by the spotlessness, and the meekness of her christian duties — [illegible] mind [illegible] none, to entertain for her memory feelings of [illegible].

June 4, 1839 DIED. In this city, On Saturday evening, June 1st, James F. Brown, Esq., aged 27 years. From the Ann Arbor (Mich.) Argus, May 30th In this village, on Monday evening, 20th inst., Mrs. Sally Platt, wife of Ezra Platt, Esq., in the 49th year of her age, formerly of Rochester, N. Y. Those who were acquainted with the deceased in the place of her nativity, and elsewhere, and who knew her as the ardent friend and pious christian, may rest assured, the excellent peculiarities of her character did not fail to develop themselves in the village of her adoption. Attached from principle, to the Gospel of Christ and Protestant Episcopal Church, she loved to frequent the [ilegible] of the saints, and was one of the most active members of the church in this place. The poor, the sick, the stranger, she was not slow in working out and ministering to their necessities. No one that confided in her, ever had cause to suspect their confidence had been misplaced. No one ever solicited of her a favor, in her power to grant, and was refused. Many here, as well as elsewhere, will deeply feel their loss. Our loss, however, we doubt not is her gain; she hath entered, we trust, into the rest prepared for the pennant believer. |

June 18, 1839 POLICE—June 17. Mrs. Palmer was brought before the magistrate charged with beating her children in the most brutal manner. The complaint was made by some ladies in the neighborhood, who stated that they have seen Mr. Palmer knock down her child of three years old six or seven times as fast as it could get up, with a stick. She has also been seen to kick her infant, probably six months old, across the room and back again until the blood run from his nostrils. In fact she was the terror of the neighborhood in which she lived. Judge Wentworth very properly ordered her in close confinement, the child with her, to which we would call the attention of the lady managers of the Orphan Asylum, for this child's condition is worse than that of an orphan. |

Of Consumption, in Rochester, June 1st, 1839, James F. Brown, Attorney at Law, aged 27 years. Mr. B. was a native of Boston, and graduated at Williams' College, Mass, in 1832. He was a subject of one of the many revivals with which that Institution was blessed under the labors of the Rev. Dr. Griffin. His highly cultivated intellect, and exemplary life and attached to him many warm friends, whose great, consolation it is, in view of their great loss, that death to him had no terrors; his last words on the subject of dying were, "It is sweet to wrap yourself in the mantle of Christ's righteousness, and lie down and sweetly sleep with Jesus." He expressed only one wish to live, which was, that he might cancel his obligations to his frieuds, who knowing he had been early deprived of both his parents, and his home, had contributed to his comfort during a protracted illness of a year and a half. His own words were, "my gratitude can never be expressed, but I have prayed for you all, that the Lord would reward you." The following lines, (a part, of a fragment from his own pen, on the death of an early friend,) express the feelings of an extensive circle of his friends, in relation to his own death: Quos dil amant, moriuntur juvenes.–Horace. The fairest flower is first to die, The brightest tint is first to fade, The dearest friend, we know not why, Is first to sleep among the dead. Friendship's purest, sweetest, holiest tie, Will first be runt and yield to agony. Thy star which rose so bright and clear, Has early, early set in night. Thou didst but shortly linger here, And just begin to shed the light Of thy chastened, pure and classic mind, And then didst leave thy sphere of hopes behind. That tie is severed–thou art gone, I chant no requiem o'er thy bier—— I drop the heart's pure offering on Thy grave–'tis all I have–a tear— Sleep on until thy Maker bid thee rise. Then, then with songs of triumph mount the skies. |
