Who is Cornelia Palon? ORTHERA? AMELIA? AEILIA? CORNELIA?
In 1850 NY census Cornelia Palon (Ames) {my great grandmother}
(Daughter-in-law of Adolphus Ames,Wife of Ira Daniel Ames,
Mother of Nancy Theo Ames, my grandmother)
is enumerated in August 1850 Oswego, NY as
Cornelia or Amelia Palon and the
Green County Wisconsin census Orthera Palon is
enumerated in October 1850. I know that the Orthera Palon
in 1850 Wisconsin is my Cornelia Palon because of
a newspaper article by Ruth Scoville her sister.

In my research I found a James Palon written in the corner of the
Bible page of my grandmother Nancy Theo Ames which said
James Palon died on 24 August 1887. ***Entry did not say where James Palon died.

Am not sure if this is the James Palon in my grandmother’s Bible.
I also received a document )NN Palon) in the mail which
is not sourced so will
have to review this. (Exhibit 4)

Sure looks like Altheah FRENCH Scoville may have been
Cornelia Palon’s mother.
Then who would Susan Palon be? Would Althea be divorced
from James Palon?
Who was Mary Scoville in 1850 Wisconsin living with George Scoville?
Was Mary Scoville Althea’s sister? Don’t think so because the census
says Mary Scoville was born Kentucky. I have not found the marriage
records for George Scoville. This would be wonderful as It might clear
some of this up or only add confusion.

(Exhibit 4) In this document it states Cornelia's name is Cornelia
Aeilia Palon and the mother is Althea FRENCH married to a
NN(no name) PALON. On Cornelia's death certificate it faintly
says "Mother's maiden name FRENCH". I am in the process of
contacting the party who sent me the exhibit 4 above to
obtain his source.

******NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS AND ASSISTANCE WITH FUTURE RESEARCH ON CORNELIA.
FUTHER RESEARCH:
1. George Scoville marriages (Possibly married three times)
2. Birth or Church records for Althea FRENCH
3. Marriage records for Cornelia Palon Ames
4. More information on James Palon and his children and wife.
Possibly may find on a query or in Newberry Library in Chicago.
