I researched Dutchess on at least two seperate occasions. Not much luck either time as no one seemed to be able to find any old records that might have been valuable. Eveyone seemed to think they existed but did not know just where. We searhed the libray in Poughkeesie, and several other places there. At one time ( about 10 years back?) I was directed to an old Grand Union? grocery store in Poughkeepsie and met with two nice ladies who were sorting boxes of info in which was supposed to be much of Dutchess's past history. However I was unable to get at any of it and they thot it would be made avialable at some time in the near future as soon as Dutchess had hired a historian. I heard that one had been hired a years or so ago and I sent off an e mail to him but never got an answer. Dutchess............THE BLACK HOLE !! Ron ----- Original Message ---- From: M.

I was thinking you were going to Poughkeepsie. In cold springs they have a research center. Therefore I mentioned all the stuff for the NY area. Not sure where my head is at. The FHC has a book section as well. If you look in the NY section you may find some stuff there. They have books on Old gravestones in NY the also have tax lists and other such records. Are there any war he could have fought in maybe the war of 1812. That I can try to get from the national Archives. I think and I am not sure why that Comfort moved to Fishkill NY at one point.
