This was sent to us from Terry Bastian of Wellsville
NY, Who is currently in the military in Texas
and came across this site. He descends from Peter
Zeliff and Samuel Cables who settled in Carrolton, NY.
The photo is the Cables store that was in Carrolton abt
1895 time period. The girl at the bike is
his Great grandmother Jeanette Rose Cables at
abt 18 yrs old she married a Hubertus and the woman
on the porch is her mother Amelia Zeliff
who is married to William Cables.
Peter Zeliff brought his family in a canoe and
made a tree bark house, also having the first white child in the area amongst
the indians.
Unfortunately he left the family behind to go to the
silver rushes in Colarado, and was never heard from again.
