[WED]Wedmore Area Families settling in Cayuga, Seneca, Onondaga & Oswego NY

[James Ridley]

Phyllis,

As near as I can figure, with the rise in poverty levels and the desire to 
be land owners, they followed the migratory roots of those in the community 
that left before them.  Perhaps for some families that were inter-married, 
they saved up enough money to send "some over" and then at timely intervals 
more followed.  I know on the Ridley side of my family, my GG Grandfather 
Peter came to America in 1850 with his Uncle Robert.  Peter started a farm 
in Cayuga County and Robert in Seneca.  In 1851 Robert's family plus his 
other brother's son Henry came to Seneca County.  In 1853 Peter's parents 
and siblings followed to Cayuga along with his sister fiance who started a 
family in Cayuga.

This seems to be the most probable theory.  You go where you know someone 
you know has been successful.

Jim
