No, I did not find them in the index, although I didn't look - I had my ancestor's date of death from a newspaper death notice, and made my request based on that info alone. But since she (Judith Tower, fwiw) did not live in any of the above mentioned towns (she lived/died in Red Hook, which was part of the City of Brooklyn), I suspect that the other deaths on the page are also not part of that database. And just now I checked for Judith and she doesn't come up in either the "Early" or the regular "Deaths" database on IGG. It may well just be mistranscribed such that it's not coming up when I search, but I wonder if it has to do with this being a ledger book with certificates are "supposed to" start much earlier? Doing some further searching, I find that I can only find about 50% of the names from the ledger page in the IGG database. I only searched quickly, but did attempt wildcard searches when my first pass wasn't successful. The ones that are listed all have certificate numbers, which could not have come from the ledger page I have, as there's no field from which that number could be taken.
