Hi Jim, My LATTA ancestors came from Ireland to Pennsylvania, and then relocated to North Carolina by the late-1700s. There were definitely Lattas from Ulster who were related to us, who either stayed in that area, or moved west. "We" Lattas have a huge database at www.latta.org. I'll check and see if we have the info you provided below. If not, I'm sure that branch of the Lattas would love to have it! We're having an "All Latta Branches Reunion" (of sorts) in July. Are you in touch with any of your distant Latta cousins? Thanks for writing!

My great great grandmother Abbie Haight Booth (1859-1926) who lived in Hamburg and was the wife of George S. Booth, Sr (1849-1925) had a sister Mary Haight Latta (1854-1941) who was married to a James Newkirk Latta a native of (or born in) Ellenville, Ulster County, NY. James and Mary lived in Hamburg in Sussex County during the 1880's and 90's and lived near my great great grandparents. The Latta's eventually moved back to NY and lived in the Hillburn-Suffern area of Rockland County. The Latta's had a number of children all whose names i cant remember off the top of my head but i do have them. If this sounds familiar or if there is a tie in let me know and i can get that stuff out. The Haight's are a very old family in New York's Hudson Valley region especially in Orange, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties. Mary and Abbie were born in Arden, Orange County...but grew up in an area that would now be located in the City of Beacon, Dutchess County. Jim Booth Highland Mills, Orange County, New York
