Martin/Taylor Family

The family of Leland Martin has its roots in early colonial America. His ancestors lived in the Schoharie valley of New York from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. Leland moved his family from Jefferson in Schoharie County, NY to Milford in Otsego County, NY in 1919. Leland's descendants remained in Milford until his daughter and many of his grandchildren moved to areas of greater opportunity. The family of Edward Jerome Taylor also has its roots in early colonial America. Edward's ancestors moved to the Ohio territory in the early 1800s; quite likely from Virginia. Edward's parents and grandparents lived in Indiana. It's not known if those families moved from "Ohio" to Indiana or if they remained in place and were present when the state of Indiana was created from the Ohio Territory. Edward was living in Edgar County Illinois just west of the border with Indiana until the Great Depression. He then moved his family to New York in about 1930; first to several homes in Schoharie and Delaware County New York then eventually to Milford.

Rossetti/Macchioni Family

The Rossetti and Macchioni families both have their roots in Italy. Grandparents of later generations came to New York in the early 1900s. The Rossetti progenitors settling first in Brooklyn, New York and then in Syracuse New York. The Macchioni family father came to Syracuse, New York alone about 1910 and then was joined by his wife and children in 1915.
In 2020, aided by an Italian born researcher, it was discovered that Francesco/Frank Rossetti’s father Michele was born as a Ruscitti who, by the time his children were born, had begun using Rossetti as a surname. Thus Frank was born as a Rossetti rather than a Ruscitti. Cassio Rossetti’s actual name was Michael Cassio Rossetti but as an adult was known as Cassio to his family and associates. The researcher was quite excited to uncover Cassiodoro Ruscitti as Cassio’s great-grandfather and quite obviously his namesake.
