fellow genealogist, Richard Daniel Atwell III, with ties to Hannibal made
me aware of an 1854 map of the County of Oswego which actually shows the
individual household locations of the residents. He found it in the
Newberry Library in Chicago, IL., and he was able to make two digitized
scans of the area relating to Hannibal. Many thanks to Richard for
sharing this wonderful map with us.
Many of Hannibal's
early families can be found on the two map files including DeMott, Gillis,
Rice, Peckham and Rice whose genealogies are already posted on the Hannibal
of interest: "Hannibal Center"
was orginallly spelled "Hannibal Centre" and "South Hannibal" was originally
called "Hulls Corners" after its first settler, Burr Hall.
