DREAMING ABOUT CORNELIA PALON






I know dreams are not science but my dream gave me a new hypothesis on Cornelia Palon
Maybe Cornelia was born in New York and is Irish descent. I dreamt her mother ran away from Mr. Palon to Wisconsin and died in Wisconsin so Cornelia was sent back to NY. Not likely but a theory.
I have a James Palon in my Cornelia Palon Bible that says he died August 24, 1887. I wonder if this is the James Palon in Chicago.  Could he be Cornelia's father or uncle?
In the 1850 NY census there is a Cornelia Palon and an Amelia Palon who were enumerated with
James Palon of Oswego County in October 1850 and there is an Orthera Palon enumerated in August 1850 with 
the George Scoville in Wisconsin. I know this Orthera is my Cornelia Palon from my research.
In 1880 there is a James Palon living in Chicago. Could he be the one?
I wish I could find the answers to this one.  Grandma where are you when I need you?

Here is the transcript from my AMES family Bible:

This family Bible belonged to grandmother Nancy Theo AMES. It is an American Bible Society Bible dated 1875 with the information below written in it. It is hard to read in some parts because the handwriting is faded. Any information on these AMES or PALON families of Albion, Dane County, Wisconsin would be appreciated. 


The Bible was in possession of my mother who received it from her mother, Nancy Theo Ames.  I don't know who made all the early entries in the Bible. I know my mom added the marriage of Ludwig Hansen and  Blanche Hansen. The old entries are in red and green ink as they are faded. We don't know who entered them in the Bible but it was someone who knew all the dates.

Oh what mysteries we find and may never know the answers to.
