I'm not sure if we should continue this chat on the list, but maybe it will
stimulate someone's memory, so here goes: (Pat, if this is inappropriate,
please tell me).
In a sense, it's the same Hallocks, but much removed. The direct line
(Edward Hallock) settled in Milton, Ulster County, in about 1760 coming from
Setauket on L.I. But the irony here is that my husband's mother descends
from the Milton based family, but my husband's father, Joseph Grant Weaver,
worked for many years as a buyer and manager

Sue,
Thank you so much. It certainly is a book I want to have.

Sue - If you haven't already, you may want to find a copy of "History Of
Putman County, New York", by William S. Pelletreau, A.M., Philadelphia,
1886. It could give you some information on your Newberry's.
My Gray family was in Southeast/Patterson area in the mid to late 1700's
and I found some useful data in this book. Also, Clifford buck
published tax rolls etc for this area in "The Dutchess" which is the
quarterly publication of the Dutchess County Historical Society.
Good luck - TOM
Joy, I don't have much on Samuel Palmer but believe he was probably
brother to Joshua Palmer who came to Beekman at the same time. I have a
cryptic note on Joshua "probably son of Samuel of Plymouth" You probably
know that the tax records are missing for the years 1749-52 so it is hard to
tell when someone left the area during that period. Frank

Ladies,
I thank you for the information. Since I have already downloaded the
Schenectady list that I needed, and have discovered that only a marriage
took place in Albany, no "first families" involved, I shall leave
matters as they stand. Thank you again for your courteous replies to my
original message.

Chris, Pearson's First families of Schenectady is on line at
http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/firstsettlers/index.html. Part of
the Public Library web site. They are also putting early census on line. I
hope this helps you.
I have spent about 15 years researching this
branch of the Knowltons who migrated from Ipswich, MA,
to Westchester, NY, about 1700 and spread up the Hudson
river from there.
Ephraim Knowlton (ca 1676-1735) arrived in
Westchester Co. and married Katherine Griffin (dau of
John and Sarah) by 1701. By 1615 they had moved,
with Katherine's brother John Jr, to Bedford, NY.
The couple had one known son, Robert
(ca 1705-1798) who lived in Bedford all his life

Regarding Jemison:
Are you aware of the book about Mary Jemison who was kidnapped by the Seneca
and lived in Cattaraugus Co on the Seneca lands? She was married to an
Indian man and had children by him. There is a whole book written about her
and it details her roots. She witnessed one of her sons killing the other.
The book details her history with the Indians and was written by a
journalist who interviewed her in her old age.
I am seeking information on DANIEL (DAN) CARROLL who was an editor of a
newspaper in the Albany area. He was born, probably in the 1880s, and
married twice -- Cora and Helen. He died 1941 and is buried in Cohoes, NY.
Could anyone give me the names of newspapers in the first half of the 1900s
in the Albany area? Any other leads?
Glenn,
I always thought that the chain ran from West Point and Plum point is in
Cornwall. If I recall correctly there is a state marker down on
"Flirty" (Flirtation Walk) that shows the location of the
chain--although it has been a while since I've been down there.

Hi Tom:
Thanks for your suggestion. I will give a look at those records. I was
hoping that I would find some other folks in N.Y. who are descended from
these people and who might have other information regarding the family. So I
will continue to hope that someone else will have more intimate information
regarding them.
Also, you said that you were part of the Gray line. I have a Benedict ca
1770's line where the Grays are also intermarried. Could this be your family?
Thanks so much for taking
Hi List:
Does anyone out there have books or other resources about Dutchess County's
first settlers and willing to do lookups?
I am specifically looking for early settlers in the town of Patterson, which
was formerly known as Frederickstown, Franklin, and I believe also Carmel
(but this is one is not certain.) I am looking for information about the
John Newberry family.
I am also very interested in knowing more about the general history of the
area before settlement took place.
While I know tha
Can anyone ID these people who are buried in Monroe Presbyterian
Churchyard:
James Lindon Secor 189?-1936
Charles H. Secor 1890-1965 and his wife Marguerite Barr 1895-????
Hi List:
I am new and wanted to know if anyone could help me fill out the information
I have on my Newberry line? Alternately it can be spelled Newbery or
Newbury. This family moved to Dutchess Co in the 1740's from the Groton,
Conn area. I am trying to dig out more information about them. They were in
the area which is now called Patterson. Early on it was Carmel,
Frederickstown and Franklin - not necessarily in that order.
The family would have been John Newberry and his wife Zerviah Burch. O

Hi Margaret just curious as to what Little Britain Presbyterian church
records your talking about the earliest I have date to 1825 and they are not
published. All records prior to that date were presumably lost in one of the
fires. The L.B. M.E. Church circuit records have been published however they
are far from complete. I have just finished the entire M.E. members lists of
the New Windsor circuit. I am presently completing the circuit journals which
covered Monroe to the south and Belvale to the
I have a George Campbell that was first found in Troy NY. Family lore
had it he was born in Australia but all his records (census, death cert)
say he was born in Ireland. His parents were George Campbell and Mary
Todd. He showed up in Troy in the 1870s possibly in his teens or his
20s.

May I suggest that, since I have an ancestor born in the "Palatine"
(also called occasionally "Palantine," or the "Palatinate") in New York
Province or State, that it may be that your Nederlandisch ancestor came
from there after Brazil? Of course, he could well have come from what is
now Rheinland-Pfalz (The Palatinate) in Germany, but if he were
Nederlandisch, I don't think so. Particularly is he was a minister in
the Dutch Reformed Church.

While most of the forging was done at the Sterling Mines and Townsend's it
was sent overland to Samuel Brewster's forge in New Windsor where it was
assembled into sections of 7-8 links with clovis pins and swivels being made
there.The sections were then placed on barges at the creek and floated
downriver to West Point. The early experience of the Ft. Montgomery chain
made Brewster's the likely choice for assembly. Brewster drove a hard bargain

John Newberry was taxed in South Precinct, present Putnam Co. from Feb.
1745/6 through 1771 when the area became Fredericksburgh. He was then taxed
through the end of the list, 1779. Doctor Newberry was taxed in Beekman
Precinct from Feb. 1763 through June 1765. Johannis Lawrence Newbury was
taxed in North EAst Precinct from 1767-69. A Newberry Button was in Beekman
and was probably married to Mercy Billingsand father to John Button born 18
May 1772 in Dutchess.
