Can you tell me please why you suggested your John may have been born Rockland Co before time up the Mowhawk Valley? (I don't think there was a Rockland prior about 1800 but it is on the Delaware River) Just FYI, there is a Rockland County, NY, and a town of Rockland, NY. Rockland County is on the Hudson River, north of Bergen County, NJ. The town of Rockland, NY, is across the state in the Catskills, near the Pennsylvania Border. It is in Sullivan County, NY.
