Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Loghry Joseph Leander was born in 1777 in Near Wilkes Barre, Luzerne County, PA (son of Loghry William B. and Purdy Nancy); died on 01 Feb 1831 in Canisteo, Steuben Co., NY; was buried in Feb 1831 in Brown's Crossing, Canisteo, Steuben County, NY(Lower Swale).

    Notes:

    Joseph Leander Loghry, generally called "Land Joe", was one of the first settlers of the Brown's Crossing area of the Canisteo Valley. Joseph Loughry, who very early ran a saw-mill on the Canisteo river.

    He was a mill owner/operator on the Canisteo River at Brown's Crossing. The mill was below (south) and to the left of the area where the new steel bridge stands today.

    He bought, probably of Elisha Brown, the original "proprietor" four hundred acres of land for six shillings per acre. This land lay upon both sides of the Canisteo River and later was included in the farms of George Dawson, Isaac Roosa, Jefferson Hadley and Ira Lane.

    At this point he built and operated the saw mill which probably stood on the South bank of the river about 50 rods above the river bridge where there appears to be the outlines of a race.

    History says in reference to this family, "Among the early settlers west of Cameron were Andrew and Joseph Loughry, who early ran a sawmill on the river".

    Joseph, in his youth was an athlete holding records in his native village near Wilkesbarre, PA. He was born about 1777, and married in Pennsylvania, Mary Santee who was born about 1785, daughter of Valentine Santee of Huntington, Pa. (The above is history written by Stacy Jackson of Steuben County in 1923.)

    Brown's Crossing Cemetery is just to the right (north) of the bridge and above the site of the old mill. It is the place where the Brown, Loghry, Santee and Moore families buried their dead. All were related to each other.
    Joseph, who died at the age of 54 years, and his wife, Mary, who was 45 at the time of her death, are both buried at Brown's Crossing Cemetery. CANISTEO BROWN'S CROSSING CEMETERY - On County Route 119 Eastbound at Brown's Crossing near the Canisteo/Cameron Town line.


    When seen in 1995, the cemetery only had one stone left after the river flooded and washed out gravestones and bodies from their resting places. This one gravestone is that of Isaac Santee.

    At one time the river was much larger than today. It was used to transport the settlers coming up the river on flatbed boats and barges moving their cattle, household goods and families from Pennslyvania.

    There also was a Michael Loghry, who was one of the five residents in Cameron township, west of Cameron Corners in 1824. It was supposed that he was the father of "Squire Joe" but it is possible that they were brothers.

    Michael settled in Cameron at a somewhat later date than did Willaim or "Squire Joe" and that he was from Tyrone, Pa. He married but his wife is not known. He probably died sometime before 1835. Mrs. Loghry married a second time to Mr. VanAuker, generally known in later years as grandfather "Nauker".
    Mrs. Hannah Jones of Cameron in 1923 said Mrs. Van Auker died at the home of her son, "Squire Joe Loghry" of Cameron.

    It is believed that Michael's children were; "Squire Joe", Andrew, William Anson, and Nancy (Snediker).

    There was also a James Loghry who resided in Cameron in 1823. There is no record of him other than he was Town Accountant that year.



    WILL OF JOSEPH LEANDER LOGHRY
    I, Joseph Loghry of the town of Canisteo in the County of Steuben and State of New York being of sound mind and memory do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following:

    To my son Isaac Loghry, I give an bequeath fifty acres of land in the northwest corner of lot No. 104 in Township No. 4 in fifth Range (lately owned?) by John Loghry containing about one hundred and eleven acres.
    To my son George Loghry, I bequeath five dollars the residue of my real estate consisting of the homestead on which I now reside together with two-thirds of the saw-mill and all the personal property of whatever name or nature to remain for the support of myself and my aged father during our natural lives and at my death to become the property of my two little daughters Mary Loghry and Lettice Loghry containing about two hundred and eighty acres of land after paying all legal demands which may remain against me and I hereby revoke all other and former wills by me at any heretofore made.

    _________________

    There is also a Joseph Loghry buried at the Lower Swale Cemetery, also known as the Peter Drake Burying Ground in Cameron, Steuben County, NY.

    Joseph married Santee Mary. Mary (daughter of Santee Valentine and Craig Mary) was born in 1785 in Cameron, Steuben Co., NY; died on 15 Mar 1830 in Cameron, Steuben Co., NY; was buried on 17 Mar 1830 in Brown's Crossing, Cameron, Steuben County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Loghry William B. was born in 1733 in Ireland (son of Loughry William); died on 18 Sep 1837 in Canisteo, Steuben Co., NY; was buried on 20 Sep 1837 in Brown's Crossing, Canisteo, Steuben County, NY.

    Notes:

    Little is know of William B. Loghry. It is tradition that he came from Ireland. He resided for sometime in eastern Pennsylvania probably in the Northumberland County and also in Luzerne County about ten miles from Wilkes-Barre. One of the same and undoubtedly the above, was a Pennsylvania soldier during the Revolutionary War.

    The 1790 Census shows one William Lockry residing then in Luzerne County whose family consisted of one male child under 10 years of age and a wife and one daughter. This coincides with the tradition of the family as told by Mrs. Hannah Jones of Steuben County, NY. Mrs. Jones said that when William came to the area, he went back into the woods ten miles from any house and cleared a place and built a log house to which he took his family, which then consisted of a daughter and two sons, who were then two years of age. When absent from home shortly after they had settled there, one of the sons sickened and died. As the weather was warm, decomposition soon set in and as the father did not return and there was no help at hand, Mrs. Loghry alone dug the grave and buried her child. This had to be a heart-breaking job.

    In the tax list of Tioga Point, now Athens,Pa, for the year 1796, there was a William Loughry assessed for $1034 and Michael Loughry for twelve dollars but both names are missing from the census roll of 1800 when it was possible they had both removed to Steuben County, New York.


    It is unknown where he married his wife, Nancy Santee whose family also came from Pennsylvania.

    Both he and his wife, Nancy are buried at Brown's Crossing, Cameron, Steuben County, NY.

    William married Purdy Nancy before 1770. Nancy (daughter of Purdy) was born in 1748 in Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland; died on 01 Sep 1828 in Canisteo, Steuben Co., NY; was buried on 03 Sep 1828 in Brown's Crossing, Steuben, Steuben County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Purdy Nancy was born in 1748 in Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland (daughter of Purdy); died on 01 Sep 1828 in Canisteo, Steuben Co., NY; was buried on 03 Sep 1828 in Brown's Crossing, Steuben, Steuben County, NY.

    Notes:

    Nancy, wife of William Loghry lived to be 80 years old. It is tradition that she was from Ireland, and possibly from Clones, County Monaghan. A descendant of the same Purdy family from Belfast got in touch with me via email and was interested in her descendants. She was a descendant from the same family as his mother's. This fellow said the Purdys originated about 800 years ago from Normandy. Many of them in Ireland came over from Yorkshire, England. There were many Purdys in clones in the 18th and 19th century. ( Information from John Caughey of Londonderry, Ireland whose mother was a Purdy and related to ours.)

    According to Revolutionary War records from the state of Pennsylvania, there was a James Purdy, Lt. Col. in the Cumberland Militia who could be Nancy's father. Certificate 11, 221, was paid 49 lbs. Register, vol. B, p. 48 Issued 18 March, 1786. On 31 Mar, 1790, he was paid 40.5.9, Certificate 16680
