  1. 1.  William Wightman was born 21 Sep 1822, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900; was buried , Dimick-Wirt Cemetery, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Wm & Melissa are at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY. They have a daughter Francelia, 5 mos. Also with them is William's brother Simon, 23.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Wm & Malissa Whitman, ages 35 & 32, are at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY. They have four children in the household: F. R. 10, Phebe 7, Wm M. 2, & Emma O. 1. (William M. & Emma both died young.)

    In the Federal Census of 1870, William & Melissa, ages 46 & 42, are still living at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY. They have four children in the household: Celia 20, Phebe M. 17, Mary E. 7, & Sidney E. 4.

    According to the book "Allegany County and its people: a centennial memorial history of Allegany County, New York" (Alfred, N.Y.: W.A. Fergusson & Co., 1896), William, son of Simon & Catherine, lived at Turtle Point, PA, when the book was written. Consequently, I have made an assumption that this William in the 1900 Federal Census is the same individual; he and his wife Melissa are living at Annin Township, McKean Co., PA. Turtle Point is also in McKean Co.

    Census data says they have been married 53 years, and have had 7 children, of whom 4 are still living.

    The may have had another daughter Elizabeth R., born and died in 1861 (source: online cemetery data).

    William married Melissa M. Unknown Abt 1847. Melissa was born Feb 1828, NY; died 1901; was buried , Dimick-Wirt Cemetery, Allegany Co., NY. [Group Sheet]
