"I am researching descendants of Anrew and Amanda Richards Shafer, Their daughters, Malinda and Artemisia were born 1835 and 1837, in Clarkson. A few years later the family moved to Coldwater, Michigan. When I research that period in Michigan, I find that many upstate New Yorkers migrated there starting about 1830. Is there a historical reason for that? It was like moving to Florida for warmth!"

"I am a descendent of Robert Parkinson, he is my GGGgrandfather. Robert was born in County Down, Ireland, & settled eventually in Clarkson, along with his sons, James Parkinson & John. James was a teacher in Clarkson, at the first school, I presume. James married Sarah Wellsley Brown, April 15, 1822. Sarah was the daughter of Polly Mead Brown, whose father was John Brown, of Mayflower stock. In Aug. 1822, James' brother, John died, & his father, Robert died in Sept. 1822. They are both supposed to be buried in Clarkson, I don't know what cemeteries were there back then. James was a Mason so I presume he belonged to the Masonic Lodge in Clarkson, back during the time he lived there. Soon after the father & brother died James & his wife, Sarah went to what was known as "the Land of Promise", the Talbot Settlement. James' two sisters, Mary Jane & Jane may have followed later, as they lived near James in Ontario. James taught at the first school that was opened in London Township, which is now know as Hyde Park. This would have been in 1824."

"I find it interesting to tour Clarkson. My great grandmother was born there. Her name was Dora Pratt nee Dean. I am always interested in family and friends who have since passed. She died in 1956 in Rochester. I know a story was written about her by a Mary Holmes of Batavia. Thanks, Mike."

My best friend is an Englishman called Adrian Clarkson and we are

"Aloha to all!
I have no idea if I am related to the Clarkson's that founded your town. However, I am very proud of this name and what it stands for.
I have lived all over the world and have settled in Hawaii because of how they treat all races. Though I do want you to know that I am a true Clarkson and revel in knowing about my heritage, so thank you for this site.
Take care with much Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa for this site!!

"My mother, Frances Vivian Bateman was born in the Frank Cotter Home on the Ridge. The town is special to me because of this. If only I had listened more closely as she remembered so much about the people and the houses who lived in Clarkson, NY I am searching for information on Isaac Corey(Cory) who purchased land there in 1816--I have the indenture today.
