Marriages and Deaths from Rochester Newspapers
July 1, 1839 - Dec. 31, 1839

line

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:

  1. Rochester Daily Advertiser was published from April 5, 1830 to Dec. 12, 1856. Rochester Public Library has a microfilm that has most issues from 1839.
  2. Rochester Republican (weekly) was published Aug. 7, 1827 - Aug. 27, 1884. This was the weekly newspaper that was published by the same office as the Rochester Daily Advertiser so it has many of the same records. Rochester Public Library has a microfilm that has most of the issues for the latter half of 1839
  3. The Rochester Gem (semi-monthly) was published 1829 - 1843. The Rochester Public Library has this online volume for 1839. As this newspaper copies marriages and deaths from other daily Rochester newspapers, only records not listed in those other newspapers are listed here.
  4. Rochester Daily Democrat was published from Jan. 1833 - 1870. Rochester Public Library has a microfilm that has most issues from 1839.
  5. Monroe Democrat (weekly) was published from Feb. 1834 to 1857. There are no known existing issues for 1839.
  6. The Daily Sun was published from about April 10, 1839 to Dec. 31, 1839. Rochester Public Library has separate files online for each month for this six month period (July 1839, August 1839, September 1839, October 1839, November 1839, and December 1839).
  7. The Working-Man's Advocate (daily) was published from about Oct. 1839 to March 31, 1840. None of the issues from 1839 still exist.

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.

POLICE
Before Judge Wentworth.

Sal CRAW, alias Sal TRACY, alias half a dozen other names, was brought up for keeping a disorderly house. Before this lady could prevail upon to visit the office, Constable Bowen was obliged to scale the wall of her castle and then break in the doors, before he could get across to her ladyship, who he found in bed and pretending to be as "all ladies wish to be who love their lords," but as Bowen was not to be "bluffed off" in that way, he made her tumble out and accompany him to the police office, when she was obliged to wait until an officer was despatched for a couple of ladies who had been residing with her. The officer returned in the course of a few hours with the [illegible], whom he found on a boat going east, where Sal had sent them that they might not tell tales as of school. The rest of the girls she had locked up in the cellar, where they was obliged to remain until she was discharged, which was done by her paying $50. The like sum she paid the 20th of last May but we did not report the case, in consequence of her telling us the [illegible] was false, that she had become a convert and was pursuing a different course of life. Under these circumstances we let her off, provided she would pay for her troubles of setting up the report and altering the form, which by the way she has never done. And yesterday she sent word if we dared to publish this report, she would bring her girls [illegible] us, and tear down our office.

POLICE
Before Judge Wentworth.

David Clendening assault on Sarah Flanigan.

Thomas Montgomery struck Martha Montgomery, his wife. Thomas was convicted.

Wm. Morel, was brought up from a house in Hard Scrabble. William was pretty drunk and sicking up a terrible row. William is where he can't get whiskey.

Steven DeLorm and Charles Seyman, a couple of [illegible] chased and caught a colored lady by the name of Christine Granby and after catching her, painted her hair and clothes. She in return knocked one of them down. Of Course cross complaints were made, when all hands had the satisfaction to pay their own costs of going to good.

Pat Flynn a native of the Emerald Isle at present king of the shanties at little Limerick, was brought up for defacing the face of two or three of his subjects. The prisoner, the complainers, the witnesses and their friends were the most battered looking subjects we have seen for some tome. Each one sworn that they were all drunk, but himself. As there seemed to be more whiskey than any thing else, the Judge very wisely ordered the prisoner and complainers to the Island and the witnesses to the poor house. If the Judge would only dispose of every case in that way he should not be bothered with half as many assault and battery complaints. We like the mode adopted by the Indian judge who was asked how he dispensed justice replied "me whip um complainant–me whip um defendant–me whip um witnesses — No trouble me any more."s

OBITUARY

William Hildreth, Senr. died at his residence in the town of Phelps, on the morning of the 4th instant, in the 56th year of his age.

We are seldom called upon to record the death of a more useful and estimable citizen, or one whose loss will be more severely felt and universally lamented. The life of Mr. Hildreth furnishes a beautiful and encouraging illustration of the success which under our free institutions, rewards unaided industry, probity and enterprise, and demands more than the tribute of a passing notice. A little less than forty years since, he emigrated from one of the New England States, lo this village, a poor boy, and was employed for several years as a wood chopper. During this time he established a reputation for frugality and integrity, that enabled him to purchase, chiefly upon credit, a lot of land in the town of Phelps, which he soon brought to a condition of a cultivated farm, and upon which he resided until his death. From this period his career was that of increasing prosperity, usefulness and honor. For more than twenty years past, he was extensively engaged in agricultural, mercantile and manufacturing pursuits, to which he was ardently devoted; but from which he was often called by the voice of his fellow citizens, to serve in places of honor and trust. Among these we recollect that he was a member of the Electoral College in 1824; a candidate for the State Senate at a latter period; a member of the house of Assembly in 1835, and, frequently we believe the representative of his town in the Board of Supervisors. In public stations he was distinguished by the same sound judgment, and patient, yet quiet and unostentatious, toil, that characterized his course in private life. Cold, precise and punctual in business affairs, he was kind and affectionate in all domestic and social relations, and gave to the poor and necessitous with a warn hearted, yet discriminating benevolence. With the leading business interests of his town, his name has been long and intimately connected ; and he contributed liberally of time and money to such works of public improvement as were calculated to promote its prosperity. His active usefulness will be greatiy missed in a community by whom he was respected and honored, whilst his death has left a void in the family circle that will be long felt and deplored. — Ontario Repository.

Allen Earls — This gentleman mixt too much water with his liquor, the consequence of which was he lost his equilibrium and sense of propriety at the same time. and commenced making a row. Allen was disposed of.

Ann Osburn — A bery nice girl is Ann, only she won't heed the good advice of the Moral Reform Society, and mend her wages. Ann "loved not too wisely but too well," for which the Judge sent her over on the Island to repeat of the wickness she had been guilty of.

John Doe with white hat, had more steam on than his locomotive powers would very well bear, and Mr. Doe sat himself down in the mud to cool, where the officer found him, who having great respect for John, conveyed him to more comfortable quarters.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, the flour mill of E. & E. A. Avery, at the lower end of Brown's Race, was discovered to be on fire in the lower story, some 30 or 40 feet below the surface of the ground at the front door, on Mill street; and as it was impossible to play directly upon it with the engines, all efforts to extinguish it proved unvailing, and that valuable properly soon became a prey to the devouring element.

The large frame mill of Silas O. Smith, near!y adjoining it on the south, was in imminent danger; and, indeed, nothing but the hazardous and persevering efforts of an efficient fire department and the smiles of an overruling Providence, could have prevented its sharing the same fate. Had that burnt, in all human probability two other valuable mills, if not the Cotton Factory, would have been also destroyed. — As it was, the breaking of a few wind was and the charring of the tiding at one corner, was the molt essential damage done in that direction. But on the north, the valuable machine shop of Lewis Kenyon, situated in a small wooden building, was mostly destroyed, and we regret to learn that he was not insured.

The mill burnt was bought by Mr. Alcott, some years ago, for $15 000. After undergoing repairs, he sold it to Patterson ↦ Avery for $25,000. It was a atone building, of uncommonly thick walls, and seven stories high on the east side, the basement being nearly as low as the base of the cataract. The machinery was good throughout, and no mill of the same number of run of stones is capable of doing more business. The property in the mill, consisting of wheat, flour, middlings and feed, was all consumed–worth three or four thousand dollars. On that the owners had no insurance.

The whole amount of property destroyed was probably $18.000–insurance $5,000 by a company in Albany, and $3,000 by the Saratoga and Schcnectada company.

It is generally believed this fire was the work of an incendiary. There bad been no fire used in the part of the mill where it was first discovered, nor was there any machinery there which would be likely to produce such a result. It is worthy of remark, that this is the only flouring mill in this city which has been destroyed in ten years from a fire taking within its own walls.

Too much praise cannot be awarded to our ever vigilant firemen. Though this is the first call upon them for several months, it found every thing ready. And though at the dead hour of a cold night, scarcely had the alarm bells struck, before the streets were crowded with men, determined to wrest from the raging element every penny’s worth of property in their power. And it must be a proud recompense to them to reflect, that, by their noble daring on this single occasion, they have no doubt saved our citizens property worth at least $100,000. "Try us," is the laconic motto of one of the companies, and "Every Ready" may appropriately [illegible].

John Cummings was determined to have a thanksgiving dinner at some rate or other, "no corn bread and common doings, but wheat cake and chickens fixens" was John's particular taste, so he froze fast to a pair of chickens belonging to his neighbor. John dined with Gilbert.

Wm. Brittleebank was not an epicure like Mr. Cummings above, but thought more of his hack than his belly, and so he stole a coat that would "bluff the moral world." Billy was a gone sucker.

Michael Mitchel was a real out and outer, that thanksgiving dinner was too much for him, then the "potteen" afterwards had such an effort upon his nerves that "devil a man but two" in Rochester but what he could lick, then he went in search of the two before mentioned, and a good natured watchman offered to assist him as far a cell under the Court House, where he found a poor creature already locked up, and fast asleep; no sooner was he discovered by Mitchel, than he fell upon him and gave him a terrible beating. Mitchel is breaking stone.

BOY LOST. — Velorus Alonzo THORP, 18 years old next January, about 4 feet in height, black eyes, dark brown hair, and healthy countenance, deep dark green cap, blue camblet roundabout, blue cloth vest, dark pantaloons and boots, clothes old. He may have had his clothes changed since he left. He left Royalton, Niagara county, N. Y., on Saturday, Nov. 16th, about sun down, on an errand–he was seen at the same time about a half a mile from home, at Reynolds' Basin, pursuing a direction which would lead him to this city. He was on the two path of the canal.

It is supposed he started for this city, Rochester, where his anxious Mother resides. He probably went on board of a canal boat, and has been induced to go elsewhere than here, perhaps east as far as Albany. He is probably somewhere on the line of the canal. A dog left with him, which returned to Royalton from the east after 11 days absence. Any intelligence relative to the boy, addressed to his afflicted Mother, (a widow) Mrs. Sophronia Thorp, Rochester, N. Y., will be gratefully received and thankfully appreciated.
