The following information has been transcribed from a book was owned by Margaret Vosburgh [Margaret Mulholland b. Feb 19, 1861 Dresserville, NY, d. Mar 29, 1958 Moravia, NY, m. (1) Daniel R. Griffin; (2) John E. Vosburgh].  The book is called "The Emerson Birthday Book", and for each day of the year there is a poem by Emerson and a place for people's names. Several entries note the year born and a small number have other information such as year died and/or names of relatives. There are no marriage dates.

Most entries appear to be in either Maggie's handwriting or her son Arthur's, however there are a few that were likely entered by the person named and are identified with an asterisk (*). If you see a hyperlink for a date, you can click on it to view the original page.

Bracketed items are my comments. Dates that are likely the date the entry was written are not shown. The list is sorted by surname or maiden name if known. Notes, additional surnames and relationships are based on census records along with other family documents. Currently, Jan 1 through Jan 10 pages are missing.
