Additional Facts:

Elihu Ormsby was born in Pennsylvania in 1806. He apparently also lived in Broome County, New York since all three of his sons were born in Broome County. This information was taken from the 1850 census of Steuben County, New York. In that census he was noted as a farmer and age 44 years. I have not been able to find his wife's (Elizabeth, also called Betsey) maiden name. Also, I have been unable to determine when they died, but they were still listed in 1870 census of Steuben County. There place of burial is not known for certain, but it may be in the same plot as his father in the Howard Cemetary, Howard Twp., New York. The plot is large enough for eight graves but only two people are shown to be buried there.
