I grew up in upstate NY, Boonville, NY. I have now ventured south where I am currently living. I came accross this site as I wa slooking up information about my family/relatives, The Loomis Gang. I remember as a kid going to see George Wash. loomiss’ grave and being explained that I was part of their family tree. As a kid I did not quite understand or appreciate your heritage but now I am looking up all the info I can get my hands on, so, I may be able to make a scrapbook to share and pass onto my daughter. This is very important to me. My grandmother, Mrs. Shirley Loomis-Meekins is the tie to the Loomis clan, her daughter, Christine Meekins-Swiernik is my mother. I would love to communicate with those whom have questions, stories, info and discussions and are also family members. I find this info to be very beneficial and I hope to meet others with stories.
Thank you, Erica Swiernik-Silipino

As a child I watched many Western movies with my Dad. Did any western movies have a story line about the Loomis Gang?

Hang the phucking thieves high

i am the great great granddaughter of amos plumb and have just been recently learning about the loomis gang due to family history. My father just passed away back in 2007, and we often asked him about the gang but wouldnt say much about it except for that me and my sisters are a granddaughters of amos. so hearing and watching this docematary is great.it also helps me to understand my passion for horses and have been that way all my life. I used to live in Onieda,but now in TX so i do let people know of my great great grandfather.

How do I have the opportunity to view this docmentary of the Loomis Gang?  Please adsvise

My Great Grandfather was George loomis and Herold Loomis Herold is buried in brookfeild. I never met my grandfathers but I did have my Great grandmother who was Lois Loomis She was the last of the Matriarcs of the family. the only older generation I know that is left is my uncle Jason Loomis whom we call big Jake and my grandmother Alma Loomis Shanley, Mulvaney My great grandmother used to tell me many stories of the Loomis family.Today my great grand mother is gone and is missed greatly.

Just came across this film after talking about the Loomis Gang to some of my friends. Our family too lived for a time in Waterville NY, Our house stood on Frog Park Road and Barnes Rd, and we lived there in the 70’s. My sister graduated from Waterville High in 76 and I in 80. Wish I had heard your name in this, we probably went to school together. While living in the house we found proof that Wash Loomis had our home built and we found various artifacts in the barn. I found a wanted poster for the Loomis Gang that I still have framed. At the end of Frog Park Rd in Stockwell you will find an old cemetery and Wash Loomis is buried there along with some other Loomis’. I used to visit the cemetery often when I was living there in the 70’s. The graves I hope are still there. I moved back to the south shortly after I graduated High School but my sister and her family live in Clinton now. It was nice seeing the video of Waterville and the memories it brought back. I remember the old historical society building and celebrating the 100 year anniversary of Waterville. I still have that book also. Sorry to see that building is now gone. I use to march in the Color Guard for the Fire Dept in the firemans parades. I wish you could tell me more about your family. Thank you again.

I am a relative of the loomis gang my grandmother was Colista Loomis her mother was Louise Decker and Father George Washington Loomis, they had a total of 17 children 10 of which died. The names I have are of the living children including my grandmother Colista, her sisters Emma, Ella, Isabella and brothers Walter and George. I have very little information on my families history and what the direct relation ship is to the loomis gang. I would like to know more or get assistance from the historical society of waterville to research this family tree further.

I too am amazed that the Loomis Story hasn’t been filmed by a larger film company! I’m grateful to have found this video!
I live a short way from the Loomis Property and have traveled the road many times. I find it hard to believe there isn’t a historical marker on this site!
After kayaking the nine mile swamp I became inspired to write a song.
Its called Hey Momma Loomis and can be listened to at http://www.pammeswan.com. Please click on Swan Songs and scroll down. The lyrics can be read while clicking on the song title.
