Hello Andy :) Sorry for the delay in responding to your kindness ...The info you provided was absolutely wonderful! This summer my father and I (SILL descendants) will attempt to locate Toppingtown with GPS, and with the land owners permission, will search the area with metal detectors, hoping to find a shread of the settlement that was once was. What is still elusive is a specific mapping of the village in hopes to find a privy/outhouse/trash dump to dig. We can only hope luck is with us :) Thank you so much for your contribution and work to answer my posting. Sincerely, Kathryn
