Family of Bradley P MARGESON and Amy (Emma Emily) Jane MCGOWAN

Bradley P MARGESON b. 1835 Oct 12797. d. 1878 Dec 25840 at Urbana, Steuben Co., NY797. bd. Tyrone Union Cemetery, Tyrone, NY840.
Amy (Emma Emily) Jane MCGOWAN b. 1848 Jun 15532 at Putnam Co., NY5534. d. 1904 Oct 115551 at Elmira Heights, NY5551. bd. Lake View Cem., Tyrone, NY5551.

Married797 1872 Aug 17797 at Dansville, NY797.

Bradley's parents are assumed from Bradley's appearance in the household of Thomas and Deborah Margeson, age 19, "child," born Steuben county, in the 1855 census5873 for Urbana, NY. Bradley was also listed5875 in Thomas Margeson's household in 1850.

His mother's maiden name listed herein is circumstantial, determined through documents for Julia Ann Margeson McQuade. Julia, age 16 (born ~1834, New York), appears with Bradley in 1850 in the household of Thomas and Deborah Margeson. An 1865 legal notice5876 for a case of Ira Margeson against several, mentions defendants Julia McQuade, James McQuade her husband, and Bradley P Margeson. The death certificate for Julia Ann McQuaid (seekingmichigan.org, indexed as McQuant), lists her birth as Oct 14, 1833, in New York; her spouse James McQuaid; and her parents as Thomas Margeson[?] and "Don’t know" Wood. The informant was John McQuaid, Holly, Mich. The death certificate (seekingmichigan.org) for John McQuaid (of Holly, Mich.) lists his parents as James McQuaid (born blank) and Julia Margeson, born Bath, NY. From that information it is assumed Julia Ann McQuaid is Julia Margeson, Bradley's sibling, and she was the daughter of Thomas Margeson and Deborah Wood.

Other circumstantial evidence indicates that Bradley had siblings: Ira Margeson (wife Eliza J), John Margeson, Cyrus Margeson (wife Angeline), Sarah Margeson Garlinghouse (husband Daniel).

Other circumstantial evidence indicates Bradley's sister Elizabeth may have married John Ketchum.

This child of William McGowan appears in records variously as "Amy" and "Emma." Amy J resided with her parents in 1850 in Phillipstown, NY5533. Amy J resided in Bath, NY, with her parents in 1855; in Savona, NY, in 1860; in Bath, NY, in 1865; and in Urbana, NY, in 1870.

In 1880, "Ema J Margison," widow and farmer, lived in Urbana, New York. Residing with her were her daughters Ida M and Elizabeth, and (assumed) her brother Levi McGowan. Levi's relationship to Ema is not indicated in the census record.

"Mrs Bradley Margeson" of North Urbana married5871 Aug 19, 1883, in Avoca, NY, John Smith of Hammondsport.
