Temperance NILES born in Connecticut
in 1796, daughter of Russell NILES and Irena RUSSELL, died after 1870,
probably in Rutland Township. She married Tiimothy BRACE 12 MAR 1814. She
is buried in the Lawrence Corners Cemetery in Rutland Township. This photo
was photographed in the 1960s by Edward SMITH and stored as a slide. His
son, Dave SMITH of Dryden NY, recently found the boxes of his father's
slides and brought them to me. I projected this on screen and photographed
it with a digital camera. Temperance is the one with the dominant genes
in this pair. Those of us who have lived in the eastern Tioga County area
know many people living today who look very much like their ancestor, Temperance. |

1764 in Norfolk, Connecticut, daughter of Hannah NORTH and Eleazar ORVIS.
In March 1788 she married Russell ROSE as his second wife. His first wife
