The info below has Stephen's father as Jacob not James and Jacob's father as Theunis not Hiram. It also has Penelope married to a Rev. Ashbal CARTER. Could Nellie be a nick name for Penelope? I did not find a Clarissa, but only one of Stephen's brother's (John) is covered in this info. 138. Jacob (Theunis, Hendrick, Theunis, Herck) b. Philipsburgh (bp. Apr. 27 1737) married in Hopewell Dec. 4 1755 Ann FERGUSON, removed to Hoosick where he died before Oct. 17 1796 when letters of administration were granted to his widow. Children: - *187.

Adelia b. 1807 298. Diadema b. 1809 This info was sent to me by a lady named Janet Hamilton from WA state, any relation to G. Hamilton? And also on the Dutch-Colonies Mailing List, a list of all the surnames that can be found in the MACKENZIE files and their page numbers (at least 800 pages) was posted along with address below to obtain copies. I only have the CRONK (KRANKHEIT) copies (pages 159-168). To get copies write to: Westchester County Clerk Records & Archives Center 2199 Saw Mill River Road Elmsford, NY 10523 TEL 914-592-1925 FAX 914-592-5160 HRS: Tue/Wed 9AM - 4PM Xerox $ .50 per page. Hope this will help. If these are your people, I would be glad to send you the rest of the ancestry back to Herck. Pam Sollami [email protected]
