==Life==<br />
Fanny's parents were from Dutchess County, NY, however she and her siblings were all born and raised in Albany County.<ref name="1865Census">1865 NY State Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> Her husband John C. Spawn was from Schoharie County, NY, and therefore it appears that she married John C. Spawn in NY. However apparently after their marriage, they moved to Plainfield, Waushara County, Wisconsin where his parents and siblings had also relocated.<ref name="1860Census">1860 US Census, Plainfield, Waushara Co, Wisconsin</ref> John enlisted in Company G of the 30th Wisconsin Infantry regiment. In 1865 Fanny was back home with her parents in Berne where she can be found in the 1865 NY State Census as Fanny Winans.<ref name="1865Census">1865 NY State Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> Five years later in 1870 she was living with her elderly father William Winans in Berne and her husband John Spawn, who is working as a farmer.<ref name="1870Census">1870 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> At some point in the 1870s, Fanny adopted Alexander Salisberg, who had been born in about 1864.<ref name="1880Census">1880 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> <br />
<br />
By 1880, both Fanny's father and husband have apparently died and she is living alone with her adopted son [[Alexander Salisberg]].<ref name="1880Census">1880 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> <br />
<br />
Around 1885 or 1886 she married the elderly [[Abram H. Onderdonk]] who was born in 1803 and whose second wife had died in 1884. Onderdonk died in 1887. In 1890 she was recorded in the 1890 US Veterans Census as Fanny Onderdonk the widow of John C. Spawn, who served in Company G of the 30th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.<ref name="1890Census">1890 US Veterans Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> <br />
<br />
In 1899 in exchange for her care, food, bed, and housework, Fanny O. granted and released 1 1/4 acres of land and the right of way on side road on West side of her lot to Carrie (and Ellery) Deitz.<ref>Deed</ref> The land was on Jug St. in the hamlet of Berne and contained a house. Until her death, she lived in the house as the boarder of [[Ellery Willes Deitz]] and his wife [[Carrie E. Warner]].<ref name="1900Census">1900 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref><ref name="1910Census">1910 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref><br />

'''Deed'''<br />
''on May 20th, 1899 Fanny Onderdonk by occupation a house keeper and who resides in the Village of Berne, town of Berne, County of Albany and State of New York party of the first part and Carrie E. Deitz [my great grandmother] by occupation a house keeper and who resides in the Village of Berne, ...... party of the second part.

<br />
My Translation: In exchange for her care, food , bed, and housework, Fanny O. granted and released 1 1/4 acres of land and the right of way on side road on West side of her lot to Carrie (and Ellery) Deitz. I believe this is how and when my family got a house in Berne when they moved from Pleasant Valley to Jug Street, Berne. --So Fanny Onderdonk was living in Berne as of 1899 at least. Al Deitz<br />
