I wanted you to know that I met Tom in Schenectady last fall. He is my husband's cousin by way of ggg grandfathers who were brothers. Tom Shoudy's family has stayed in Schenectady for more than 200 years and the other family went west! But thank you for your response. That was pretty good to pick up on that.

According to my records it is the one on Dunbar Hollow road. I havent been to it but have records for it. Calvins wife was a Dunbar. These Dunbar's were related to my husband.
