Maybe continued reading of the Trustee minutes will provide a few more details that will help solve this mystery!Sandie Stoker Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676076901162099270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001555715537490916.post-21936669128652478402008-10-15T04:00:00.000-04:002008-10-15T04:00:00.000-04:00Sandie, I have been trying to connect Harmon Lando...Sandie, I have been trying to connect Harmon Landon to the Landon family of southern Cayuga Co., without much success. If Harmon Landon was a young man in 1819, he may well have been a son of Ezekiel Landon, who settled in the Stewart's Corners area of Venice (then part of Scipio) around 1800 according to Storke (1879:436). Ezekiel, who seems to have removed from Litchfield Co., CT and appears in the 1800 census at Scipio, Cayuga Co., NY, did have 3 males between 16 and 25 in his household in 1820. The only reference to a Harmon Landon that I could find was a notice of marriage to Betsey Cranson, daughter of Thomas Cranson, Esq., of Sempronius, in 1828. One wonders what ever became of Harmon.<BR/><BR/>Sources:<BR/>Elliot G. Storke, History of Cayuga County, New York 1789 - 1879, (D.
