In my continuing quest to find and confirm 'my' Abraham LOTT (who appears to be the son of Hendrick LOTT and his wife Artyi/Aertje [possibly POLHEMUS]), I found the following and am wondering just which Abraham LOTT was the offender here. From the "Minutes of the Commissioners for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies in the State of New York", Albany County Sessions, 1778-1781, edited by Victor Hugo Patsits, State Historian, Volume I:1778-1779, p.125: "Received a Letter from Major Goes informing that he sent to us under Guard Abraham Lot and Charles Simmon who were concerned in the Robbery at Van Ness's at Kinderhook -- Ordered that the said Abraham Lot & Charles Miller1 be closely confined and the Secy. acknowledge the Delivery of those Persons -- [51] Ordered also that the Treasurer pay to Capt. Clauw Eight Dollars for his and his Partys Pay for bringing up the formentioned Persons -- 2" 1 - An error in the original for Simmon. 2 - The original voucher is in "Revolutionary Manuscripts," vol. 40, p. 162, made out in favor of "Burgar Claw." Many thanks for any enlightenment! Liz
