Yes, to prepare my "Minisink Region Gazetteer", which will be a list of villages, settlement areas, forts, and churches (say 1660-1776) located along or near the Old Mine Road, I am using the very helpful maps on the Minisink Valley website. I am also using maps found in the book The Old Mine Road by C.G.Hine. I am also using a more recent map of New York county and township boundary outlines and a NY atlas to determine in which county and township they are today. I am also determiing distances from one place to another so I can add this to my annotations. I am also using maps which show the various large early patents which were granted. For example, the Peenpack Patent granted in 1697 to the Swartwouts (one of my husband's lines). My goal is to prepare for my research a list of the "old" names found referenced in church records and deeds, with a cross-reference to changes in the names and spelling variants. For example: a source may refer to a "from" place or "of" place, as in "he was of Mombackus" and married in "Esopus". On the list, I will have "Esopus" -- see Kingston. Under Kingston, it will say: First called Esopus and referred to in many Dutch records as Esopus until it became known as Kingston." If I can determine WHEN the name change occurred, I will list it. Or: "she was of New Dorp"... I will list "New Dorp"... see Hurley. "Hurley" a town about 3 miles from Esopus (Kingston), often referred to in records as New Dorp. etc. I also want to annotate the list and add information pertinent to my own research, such as listing the earliest settlers and when they settled. For example: Aldert Heymans Roosa arrived in Niew Amsterdam (New York) in April 1660 and immediately went to Esopus (Kingston). In 1670 he was granted a lot in New Dorp (Hurley, 3 miles from Esopus) where he resided until his death in 1679." Why am I doing this? I can't keep straight WHERE Machackemeck was as opposed to Mombackus. I can't remember the difference between Shappenkonk and Shawungunk or Napenoch and Namenoch. I want to include the early churches, when formed and where they were, and whether there are burial grounds at the church or nearby. I want to include the early forts ... where they were and who had them because my ancestors and my husband's ancestors either were killed during an Indian raid at a fort, near a fort, leaving on patrol from the fort, or fleeing to the fort. Researching and developing such a list of places, cross-referenced names, and their location will not be accomplished overnight. But I think it will be a worthy resource for my research. The next time I see a deed saying, "she was of New Dorp" or "he was of Mombackus" or "he was of the Peenpack neighborhood", I'll have a quick reference as to just where that was/and is/today. Right now I am starting with Charles E. Stickney's "A History of the Minisink Region" and "A History of Deerpark in Orange Co., NY" by Peter E. Gumaer for some of the old names and settlement location descriptions and earliest settlers. The spelling variants are keeping me on my toes. I was hoping a "Minisink Region Gazetteer" had already been published. If you know of one, let me know before I get far into this project. (I will be using New York state gazetteers to help me.) If someone has run across a list -- even a partial list -- of village/settlement names, their variant spellings, and a description of their locations and who the first settlers were, I would appreciate having it or being told where I can find it.
