Thank you to everyone who responded with helpful information on death certificates. I was wrong when I posted the message, about Joel DAVIS not being in the index at Albany. Apparently, he was there, and I requested his death certificate, because it came in the mail yesterday. His father was William DAVIS of Warwick, Orange Co. Joel was born in 1814. See the info in the DAVIS post, if you are interested. Mike Burnett mwburne@aol.com.
