Born in the 1940's in upstate New York close to the Canadian border, ancestors arrived in New York from New England colonies early 1800's, large families spread rapidly across the northeast and westward. Area was under French control in 1700's, ceded to Great Britain 1760's. Descendants are of the Stone, Spencer, Kenyon, & Benton families. Grew up in the Black River Valley Region of N.Y., traveled throughout the Northeast with my family, retired to the Fingerlakes Region of N.Y., we are blessed with two daughters & four grand children.
