If you check the List of Abbreviations for the Albany records, Holland Society Yearbook of New York (1904), page 84, you will see: A., Albany (same as N.A.). A. Co., Albany County. N. Albany, N.A., New Albany.

Thanks to everyone responding about the Noxons and the Hoogebooms. We had internet down here for a while, so I'm just now catching up. Ruth, thanks for the link to the Noxons of Ontario. I would very much like to see some documentation and some dates to support the statements on p. 76: "The Noxon family is descended from Andrew Noxon, of Ayershire, Scotland. His son, James D. Noxon, married the daughter of Sir Samuel Pascoe, governor of Jamaica. The young people, indeed, eloped from Jamaica to New York and there took up their permanent abode." There are many Noxons who appear in the last 400 years in various records of England; no Scots by this name came up in books I checked on HQ. But it looks as if this family begins several decades after the one I'm looking at. The Thomas Noxon family is the one I am after. Is it known how the the Andrew Noxon family are connected with the Thomas Noxon family? This (from Pam) is interesting: > New York Historical Society , Page 99 > Thomas Noxon Junr., Joyner, R was made Freeman 24 Nov 1719 If by 1728 he was "late of the Island of Jamaica but now of Co. of Newcastle in North America" (per his land record in Delaware), it seems he didn't hang around in NY very long. Thanks also Pam, for the list of occupations and dates of freeman status of these men. I found a little more on Bartholomew Noxon in a different version of Albany wills abstracts. This abstract from Abstracts of wills of Dutchess County, New York. Pub. New York: (pub. unknown), 1939: (my transcription of this entry from web, pdf version of the book): p. 2-3 Bartholmew Noxon, Dutchess County February 12, 1784 Mentions: deceased brother Thomas Noxon, New Castle Co. eldest son Thomas Noxon, now deceased second son Simon daughter Margrit, now deceased fourth son Peter second daughter Gertrude Losie grand daughter Elizabeth Losie Margaret Noxon, daughter of Peter's son Benjamin son Robert, my page folio bible daughter-in-law Hester Dr. Cary Executors, David and John Craige p. 2-4 (Bartholmew Noxon, continued). Catharine Harris, Late of Dutchess County, decd. Abraham Gooding and Elenor, his wife, late of the County of New Castle in Delaware son James Noxon, son Benjamin Noxon and Robert Noxon, Executors. Signed: Bartholomew Noxon Witnesses: John Delong David Britt [[my typo here --another BRITT I think]] App. June 15, 1791 I know _The Noxon Family In North America_ may help, and I have inquiries pending. For now, if anyone here can comment on the identity of Abraham Gooding and Elenor, his wife, I would appreciate it. Abraham Gooding (sometimes "Goodwin" but I think that's an English misinterpretation) owned land just next to the Noxon land in Appoquninimink. I wonder if Abraham Gooding's wife, Elenor, is a Noxon. Or for what reason are they in this will? Also, does this indicate that Abraham Gooding and wife, Elenor, "late of the County of New Castle in Delaware," had left that place by the time will was written? But especially, who's Elenor? Thanks again; back later if I can fill in any more blanks pertinent here. With appreciation, Liz J
