I got the following two emails from Janet Henriksen in Oklahoma and, unfortunately, I haven't been able to help her. I'm posting her email in hopes that someone out in the Blog-O-Sphere may have some information that would be a help to her.

Pete,Have been trying for years to find the father of Sarah R Sooy who states is Samuel Sooy. She was born March 21, 1829. Have tried Historical societies in NJ with no luck. She is not the Sarah Sooy daughter of Joab listed in the 1850 census. She was living in the household of Josiah Sooy in Cold Springs 1870 with her 2nd husband Richard Lee. First Husband William Ross married before 1854.Could you give me any ideas where I might find more info about her parents?Janet HenriksenOklahoma - 12/18/09Pete,I was wondering if Samuel son of Augustus and Sarah Higbee that was born in 1799 could be her father but there is no record of a marriage before he died. Her children had the first names of Samuel Augustus, and Jesse Albert. First child's named for the father. I hope to find this info one day before I die. It has me hitting a brick wall.Janet - 12/23/09
