Subject: Re: RICHARD TOTTEN 1800-1887 AND RELATED TOTTEN FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND

Thanks so much for your information Bud. I still have been unable to make the direct link between "my" Richard Totten and the rest of the Totten family. I only have oral family history and still no idea who "my" Richard's parents really were. Still orally, "my" Richard's father was supposed to have been another Richard Totten...no idea who his mother was...

any suggestions of where my gg grandfather Richard Totten 1800-1887 might have been buried? He is listed as a residence of Oyster Bay Town in the 1880 census a family by the name of Davis lived with him. They might hav even been his relatives or the relatives of his wife, Mary Woodman Bampton Bloom who died about 1872. Both of my great grandmother's (Josephine Davis Totten Schultze) brother Washington Agustus Totten (sometimes known as W.A. Totten) and Emma Louise Totten Hewitt also lived in Oyster Bay Town as adults. (W.A.Totten, I believe, was also in the military in the 7th calvary.)

I know information about my direct line has to be "out there" someplace; it's just difficult to find it, especially 3,000 miles away.

Thank you so much for your follow-up information. I will pass it along to my 88 year old dad and his elder sister as well as to cousins in Buffalo, California, and Nashville.

Roberta Schultze
gg granddaughter of Richard Totten (1800-1887)
