  1. 1.  Aurunah Wightman was born 1 Feb 1765, Norwich, New London Co., CT; died Aft 1830, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    His name is sometimes written as Arannah or Aaron in the census records at Onondaga and Allegany Counties, NY.

    The 1820 Federal Census at Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY lists the following Wightmans: Allen & Arannah. It appears that Allen is age 26 - 45 yrs, and Arannah is 45+.

    The 1830 Federal Census at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY, lists the following Wightmans: Simon, Aaron, E.H.

    The 1840 Federal Census at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY, list the following Wightmans: A., E.H., S., & L.

  1. 2.  Allen Wightman Descendancy chart to this point (1.Aurunah1) was born 9 Oct 1805, Onondaga Co., NY; died 25 Jan 1879, Allegany Co., NY; was buried , Allentown Cemetery, Alma, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the Wightman family is living at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY: Allen 45 NY (lumberman), Amanda V. 33 RI, Aurelia 16 NY, Samuel 12 NY, Josephine 10 NY, Allen 7 NY, & Caroline A. 4 NY; also Isaac D. Smith 33 NY.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Allen Wightman 54 NY is listed at Half Moon (Villiage of Eau Claire City), Eau Claire Co., WI. He is working as a blacksmith, apparently staying at a hotel. Two of his married daughters later moved to Eau Claire Co., WI.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Allen 69 and his son Allen Jr. 27 are living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY. No other family members are listed with them. Allen Sr. works in a shingle mill, and Allen Jr. is a farmer.

    The online cemetery information says Allen was born in Onondaga Co., NY, and died in Allegany Co., NY.

    The 1820 Federal Census lists Arannah Wightman in Onondaga Co., NY. I believe this must be Allen's father, based on his birth location; this agrees with two online family trees (but needs more research to confirm). His name (Arannah or Aurunah) may be written as Aaron in two censuses; the 1830 census shows Aaron Wightman age 60 - 70 at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY; the 1840 census shows A. Wightman age 70 - 80 at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY.

    In Wellsville, Allegany Co,, NY, there is a Wightman Road, off Rt. 417. No doubt it is named for Allen's family or extended family.

    Allen married Amanda V. Unknown Abt 1833. Amanda was born May 1812, RI or MA; died 4 Sep 1901, Providence Co., RI; was buried , Mineral Springs Cemetery, Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]
