Cynthia---- Thanks for your e-mail----- this is what I have and not primary
sources #1--- Howard I.Durie , a researcher and descentant of this family
states----" Abraham baptized march 3, 1682 at New York, lived at Harlem"
no source quoted ... #2 Mackenzie--- Families of Colonial Town of
Philipsburgh---- Abraham (Jan) b. Harlem 1682 , etc. #3 Ulster Co. N.Y.
Genealogist compiled Jan Jansen Postmael " Family Chart "--lists
"Abraham Post b.1682 bt. 1682 Harlem " sources noted are OLD ULSTER
Vol.1 pg.214-217 and Post manusc. Russell pg. 60------
I should have said The Ulster Co. Genealogical Society in N.Y. state...
I have tryed to locate a copy of "Russell`s manuscipt" , but have been
unable to do so...
Others have said that Abraham probably lived on the Manor of Fordham
and the church records for that locality have never been found , assumed
distroyed during the Revolutionary War ..
Any help and /or suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
