Am looking for parents of James W. Briggs,Sr.,buried in Stamford,Delaware Co.,NY.He had a son Charles Luther Briggs which leads me to believe that his father and/or grandfather may have been Luther Briggs of Scoharie or Delaware Co. NY. James W. Briggs,Sr. was married to Lucinda Fuller (Briggs);they had three children:James W.Briggs,Jr.,Mary Louise (Barber) Charles Luther Briggs. James W.Jr.,died young; Mary Louise married Llewellyn Barber and had one child:Charles Wilson Barber. Charles Luther Briggs married Helen Bennett-no issue. Charles Wilson Barber married Helen Doran and had 2 children: Susan Mary Barber (Connolly) Rev Michael Llewellyn Barber, S.J. Susan Mary Barber Connolly married Robert Connolly. She has 5 children: Kristin J. Connolly, Susan E. Connolly,Julia M. Connolly Siders (husband : Mark; 2 children:Savannah, Shannon), Kevin Connolly, Christopher J.J. Barber.

my ancestor, caleb briggs born 14 march 1803
in whittingham, vermont had a brother named
luther. see ancestry.com and look under
caleb briggs.

I am a decendent of Norman Willis Briggs who had brothers, William, Delbert and Luther. The family resided in Endicott NY at time of WWI; but their father and mother, Willam & Maria (Brown) Briggs were both born in Vermont and later lived in Westchester Co. where my grandfather was born and also in Susquehanna County Pa. Am wondering if the name Luther is a common thread as I do not know where as yet in Vermont they hailed from.

My Caleb BRIGGS born 1803 in Whittingham, Vermont.
may be a brother to a Luther BRIGGS.
Somewhee in the genealogy there is a surname Luther
hence the first name. It may come from the RUGG family
line, as Caleb married Alzina RUGG somwhere near Fletche
in Franklin county

Thanks for the September info. Found my Luther Briggs. Luther also had four brothers. His dad was William (middle?) and some documents say his dad came from Vermont. William was born about 1850 and was a Cabinet Maker who lived a good portion of his life in Susquehanna County Pa. Also White Plains NY during a boom time. Circa 1910. All sons were carpenters also. Family christian names are: William Charles, Luther Simon, Herbert James, Delbert Lucious and Norman Willis
