Hello to those with more information than I currently possess:
I've been able to trace my Van Pelt heritage clearly back from 1820 to 1792,
but it gets fuzzy after that because of the confusing number of Aaron Van
Pelt's.
What I have so far:
Voorhis Van Pelt, b. 12/7/1820 (Warren Co., OH); d. 5/13/1884 (IO); m.
4/19/1840 to Martha Mendenhall*, b. 7/28/1823 (OH); d. 12/9/1911 (IO).
Voorhis' father/mother were:
Aaron Van Pelt, b.1/18/1792; d. 1/8/1860 (Shelby Co, Ind.); m. 5/22/1817 to
Harriet Rynearson
Jerry, You could set out to *do* the genealogy to answer your question
:-). I do know that Letitia Strode was the daughter of Edward Strode and
the older sister of John Strode (my ancestor) who founded Strode's Station
in Clark County, KY. Edward Strode had a brother named Samuel whose
descendants have spelled their name "Stroud". I descend from Samuel too.
He died in Virginia, and some of his descendants went to North Carolina;
so I would guess that your Ransom Stroud of Tennessee could easily be a

Jim et al;
One of the more memorable, but eerie, occurrences I've had took place on my
visit to the Conewago Low Dutch settlement of York (now Adams) County, PA.
As I drove down the highway en route to the location, I realized that I
wouldn't find any billboard or exit sign pointing me to the offbeat
destination. S
Hello fellow listers,
What a terrible tragedy yesterday-the loss of the
space shuttle Columbia and its brave crew. Space
travel is so fraught with peril,a fact that was made
only too clear by the dreadful accident in the skies
over Texas.
The loss of Columbia during a mission of space
exploration can't help but bring to mind the extreme
perils that our ancestors faced when they crossed the
great uncharted Atlantic in their cockleshell ships on
their trips to the New World. How many of them never

Hi Cousin Charles,
This is Jackie Wells Lubinski - descendent of Gerret Dorlandt and Hilitie
Van Arsdalen. I know exactly what you are talking about and indeed have had
similar experiences. I feel like our ancestors are directing us to find
them. I still live in the Somerset/Hunterdon County, NJ area, and since
finding my dad's history 7 years ago, I have gone cemetery hunting and
looking for tombstones ever since. This sounds stupid, but every time I go
into one I haven't been to before but know there may

Hi Jerry,
I'm going to interpose my responses below,
Mareytje Bronk, widow of Jacobus Winne remarried to
Nicolaus Egmont. Were they (Mareytje and Jacobus)
also the parents of Levinus Winne? If so, then
Levinus was also a step son of Nicholas Egmont.
Yes. No. No. That is, I am not aware of a child Levinus born to Jacobus
Winne and Mareytje Bronk.
Hmmm. Here is where I may get confussed - Was Levinus
Winne the first husband of Willemtje Viele ... or was

Dear Irene, Stephanie Hochuli has definitely pointed you in the right
direction! I think you will be very pleased when you have read Harry
Macy's trustworthy two-part article in the July and October issues (1985)

numbers 3 and 4.
Your Divertje/Deborah was the daughter of Gerrit Lubbersen and Geertruy
Willems Van Boerum. "In the surviving records she is never listed with a

It's come to my attention that the baptismal record of little Aernoudt

Brassard and Lorinere Schulze's "Olive Tree". As it appears in the published
version "Records of the Reformed Dutch Church in New Amsterdam and New York,

Ooops! I appear to have sent a response directly, now
will need to send to the list as well (though the
first was probably better than this one will be).
Briefly, when I start researching family, I look for
all previously published work. I hate duplication of
effort, which is why I do not buy into the "I will
help you by telling you how to find out on your own
what I already know " philosophy. Why MAKE someone
take all that extra time re-researching, when you can
save them the time? Whatever.

Nicolaus' brother Jacob was buried in 1734, his widow

remarried? Maybe she is Annatie Schermerhoorn?

Does anyone on the list know if the "original" (or a microfilmed copy of) notarial records (circa 1660s) of Pelgrom Clocq still exist? I have the transcribed version printed in "Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State of New York" but wanted to see if I could obtain an "actual" copy of some records.

Since my primary lines back to the Schermerhoorn's,

sketchy on the intermarriages down the lines that
