Tom on this list, sent me some Silkworth "sightings" earlier this month from
Reformed Dutch Church at Flatbush, Ulster County. I found an eye-opener.
James Silkworth and Ann Alliger baptized 5 children at that church on
September 4, 1835. The 5 children were Elizabeth, age 10, Mathew Alliger
[maternal grandfather] age 8, Maria age 5, Louis Bevier age 7 and John
Benjamin -- a newborn Aug 12. I have researched a LOT of Silkworths in
Ulster County, but no James on any census and certainly no marriage i
Here is the url to the Cornell Library online books/records collection:

These books include much history of local areas in New York State plus
state history, not to mention NYC early wills and church records. You
can browse by alpha by author or title plus do a search. I think I can
spend the whole day on this site.

with me. I thought this list mi
Thanks!
I'm now getting "Silkworth Sightings" in
Watervliet (West Troy), Cambridge, Pittstown, Granby and Lysander --moving
to the furthest west (so far) Waterloo--all pretty much before 1850 when the
census began to include all members in the household.
Interesting. Most of them seemed to have been concentrated in Ulster
County.
Getting them connected is the next challenge.
If you sight any Silkworths, keep my address in mind! Each is a piece of my
puzzle.

I've just finished transcribing an 1845 probate record, Ulster County for
Benjamin Silkworth, intestate. I also have some Silkworths that were first
seen in Washington County in IGI records. Those in Washington Co have been
very hard to trace and I haven't made much progress. The parents were
William and Betsey Morse Silkworth and they had 9 children--all with fairly
common names except for one son named Preserved, who it turns out, made my
first mini-connection between the 2 groups possible.
In transcri
While all of you are resuming interest at this website again--let me ask a
question I asked before.
In 1845--where was West Troy?
I have a minor child listed on a Probate call who is not with her siblings
in Olive, Ulster County at the time of the legal action (death of her
father). Is "West Troy of 1845" now another community--or, where WAS it
that mid-century decade.
What would it be near today?
Next puzzle--what reasons would she be away from her family?
Helping a relative? She was in her teens.

CLARIFICATION ON NEW TIGS DATA BASE
A number of people who have looked at the new data base on the Troy Irish Genealogy website have questioned why, when they click on a particular name, the sketch and biography of another individual comes up.
Here is the explanation.
ALL names (wives, parents, other relatives, business connections, etc) mentioned in the various biographies are listed in the data base index of names.
So, whenever you click on a name, and the biography that comes up is for a DIFFEREN
Tom, Yes, they are, some from the compiler's husband (she passed away last
year) or maybe Hope Farm Press (www.hopefarmpress.com) and others from
Higginson Books in MA. I would first check the Higginson site
(www.higginsonbooks.com) and the Hope Farm site, and then come back to me
with any that you don't find and I can give you the contact information for
the husband. Sharon
