Hi, I came across information where you were researching the Ames family. Orrin Ames and Leonard Ames, whom I believe were brothers, removed from Herkimer County, New York to Jackson township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. They lived on what is now known as Trowbridge Station Road. Charles Bednar purchased over 100 acres there about 47 years ago and was told that there was a cemetery on the property of approximately 12 graves and was shown the site but there were no markers. A few years later he found a memorial stone on the top of a stone wall and it was Orrin Ames who died in 1847. He does not recall any other information. The memorial marker has since disappeared. This may be accurate since Orrin was evidently deceased by the 1850 census enumeration. For whatever reasons the family seems to have abandoned the cemetery as Orrin's wife Hannah is buried nearby in Alder Run Cemetery as is their son Elisha. I have no idea where Jonathan is buried but he could also have been buried with Elisha. Jonathan's wife is buried in the town of Southport, Chemung County, New York. Charles Bednar, the property owner lives in downstate Pennsylvania. We spoke yesterday and if he is up next summer he said he would show me the burial site. I have an idea of the location but not the exact location.

Hi Don, I photographed the memorial stone of Orin Ames today. Only the top portion with his name and the date of April 25, 1849 is on the broken memorial. The memorial stone is behind a house on Trowbridge Station Road. It was originally across the road and leaning against a stone wall. I will go back in the spring when the weather is better and see if I can locate the base that would contain his age and any other memorials and get gps coordinates. The person who told me about it said he has been all over that area and never saw any other memorial stones. If you go to Ames Cemetery on findagrave.com you can see the photograph. J.

Orrin was evidently deceased by 1850 when wife Hannah was enumerated in household of son Elisha and next to household of son Jonathan. Farm was on present Trowbridge Station Road and it is believed Orrin was buried there. The Alder Run Cemetery where wife <b>Hannah</b> b. 14 Feb 1807 New York and other family members would later be buried was not yet created at the time of his death.
