This original transcription of the vital records of the Town of Winfield, 1847 - 1849, was made by Kathy Huxtable, Town of Columbia editor. Reading through and transcribing these from the original took Kathy a long time to do and we really appreciate her effort to bring more official records to the site. We hope this list provides clues to ancestral location and helps you better formulate questions when visiting Mohawk Valley societies or ordering mail searches. If you recognize anyone on this list, please drop a line to Martha so we can note it on this page.

As you scan the listings you'll see unusual spellings. They're not typos but can be attributed to well-known difficulties in reading fragile records with old handwriting, as well as assumptions made by the registrars of the marriages. If a spelling differs from that of your ancestral surname, or deaths didn't take place in the town you thought your ancestors were from, don't pass them by. Jot them down...just in case. A date and location from these vital records can be used to search in the 1850 census or the info may turn out useful to others searching your surnames.

During years 1847 - 1850 some New York State counties officially recorded information about births, marriages and deaths. Then they just stopped. Not all counties preserved this early information so each county must be taken on a case-by-case basis in making inquiries of societies.

*** Neither Kathy nor I have further info on the persons named below. ***

May 17, 2001:
Thank you for posting the marriagesfor Winfield, Herkimer County, New York. I found the marriage of a sister of my gr.gr.grandmother Paulina Ann Wakelee, who married Joseph W. Newell 08 March 1842 in New Hartford, Oneida County, New York. The marriage I am referring to is for the following:
Marriages 1848
Nov. 16 Charles Fosket, Winfield, age 35
Zepperah Wakely, Winfield, age 25 Rev. Horace Tremain, Winfield
In other reference material as well as some federal census has Zipporah not Zepperah and Wakely may be Wakeley or Wakelee. I assume that the name was a difficult one to spell.

In the births on line for Winfield, Herkimer, New York, 1849 I found the birth of Mary Fosket Nov. 1, parents Charles & Zeppera Fosket. Thank you for posting this information.
Happy searching, Eunice G. Guerrant
