Fort Ann on 6 April 1808.  The town of Granville is part of the eastern
border of Ft. Ann (Westfield).   Good luck in your search.  Marjorie

  Subject: Westfield, NY-1790


  Hello:

      Can anyone tell me where Westfield, Washington County, NY was located
in 1790?  [not to be confused with Westfield, Chautaqua County in western
New York].  I have been unable to locate it on any historical map at my
disposal.  The 1790 Fed Census for New York lists several Joseph Cook's; one
of them having resided in above said township; but other sources place many
of my ancestor Joseph Cook's activities in Granville, NY.  Just to further
confuse things, there were other Joseph Cook's in the 1790 Fed Census
residing not too distant; and locating Westfield is one step in clearing up
who is who.
      I apologize if this is off topic; but any help is greatly appreciated.
