Enfield Town Historian – Sue Thompson (Historian@townofenfield.org)
A dedication ceremony will be held September 28 at TC3 in Dryden for four monuments representing civil war nurses, one will be honoring Enfield’s Sarah Graham Palmer “Aunt Becky”.
I will have a display of Sarah’s life at the Enfield Harvest Festival in October.
The Municipal Historians of Tompkins County are updating the towns touring brochures. Enfield’s brochure is done except for adding a few pictures. They hopefully will be published
by January 2017. These are for the 200th anniversary of Tompkins County (April 7, 1817, by act of the New York State Legislature, the counties of Seneca and Cayuga were divided, and
Tompkins County was formed).
Enfield will be celebrating their 200th anniversary in 2021 (est. March 16, 1821) how would you like to celebrate the town?
I recently discovered that familysearch.org has added New York State marriage records for Tompkins County on their website. "New York, County Marriages, 1847-1848; 1908-1936." This is
a free genealogy website. It was exciting to discover this, try it out! If you need help in any of your genealogy endeavors let me know I would be glad to help out.
