Folks, I have gleaned from other documents and quit claims by my 3rd great grandfather. What I now know is that he had a brother William O. King. William was probably but not sure that he was born as early as about 1785 in New Salem, Hampshire County (now Franklin County) Massachusetts. He could have been born in or near Hastings (south shore of Lake Erie)in Oswego County, New York (family lore says he was there for a time). Then in the area of Caanan and finally in New Lebanon. The quite claim was documented between 1836 (Nahum King moved family to Franklin County, Ohio from Madison County Ohio)and as late as 1841 when 2nd great grandfather had birthday at 8 years of age. We do not know where the widow or her two children had her husband buried when he died. Don't really know where he died but it was probably in Madison County, Ohio where the widow had remarried. Since this was the location of land they held jointly. So my question to the list is: Who is this William O. King with the following information from Cliff's index of burials for Columbia County? His father Amos King was of New Lebanon, from after 1785 until his death in 1839. King William O. Bk 20:19 20:5-29 Hudson City Cemetery Hudson --- 1937 non-alph Thanks for your consideration Daniel

Perhaps this cemetery is the final resting place of my 4th great grandfather Amos King. Cliff's list shows that there is an Amos King buried in Book 8 page 83. I looked at the list of Cemeteries and found that this refers to the Green River Cemetery: 8:77-85 Green River Community Cemetery Jct. Rts. 71 & 22, Green River --- 1973 non-alph Are any of you folks on this list living in or near this town and Cemetery? My Amos King was born 1756 in New Salem, Hampshire (now Franklin) County, Massachusetts. He died in June 1839 at his farm near Canaan and New Lebanon and was a Revolutionary War Veteran who had a pension. He was married to Hopestill Haskins daughter of William Hoskins and Mary Cole. They had about 10 children the oldest is my third Great grandfather who died in Benton County, Oregon Territory 1856. One of the first pioneers who saw both oceans in his lifetime.

In 2000, I put online an index of over 60,000 names of people buried in Columbia County (40 webpages). Lawrence Rickard had made indexes for 50 books of cemetery transcriptions at the Columbia County Historical Society which were unindexed. He later combined the 50 indexes into one Master Index. I got permission from him and CCHS to put the indexed names online. The purpose of this project was twofold; to help genealogists find their ancestors, and to help the Columbia County Historical Society earn some money. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Cem/Col/CEM-ColMaster.htm I also made seven trips to the Columbia County Historical Society to write down what cemetery was on each page of the 50 books. Then, I created a webpage from that information. Using the list of cemeteries in conjunction with the lists of names, you get a pretty good idea of where a person was buried. If a person lived in Kinderhook, and there is a listing for someone by that name in the Kinderhook Cemetery, it is likely that you have the right person. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Cem/Col/CEM-ColCo-Bks.htm On the webpage that has the cemetery list, there are also directions on how to order photocopies of the pages you need from those cemetery books. After paying $5 for the first photocopy, the rest are just $2 each. In an age when a vital records certificate in this state costs $22, the prices at CCHS are so low that nobody should object to paying for the copies. And CCHS needs to have income or donations if we want to insure that it is there in the years to come. Cliff Lamere ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you aware that the Columbia County Cemetery Index is available online at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Cem/Col/CEM-ColMaster.htm I've used both this index and the books, and I don't recall the books having much more information than what was available in the online index.

Hi, I have transcribed some but not all of the cemeteries in Columbia county. You can find them here: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/columbia/cems/index.htm Hudson City Cemetery here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/0_ny-index.htm Krum Cemetery (Hillsdale) here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Cem/CEM-Krum.htm Hillsdale Rural Cemetery here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/ny/hillsdale_ny_cem.htm Other death records can be found at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Home/Records.htm#VR-deaths Scroll down to Columbia county.

I, too, am looking for ancestors who are very likely buried somewhere in Columbia County. I wondered if Fred wouldn't mind looking them up, also. But I have about 7 or 8 names. That's kind of a lot and I don't want to be an imposition. If it would be OK to send you the names, or perhaps just a few of them, please advise. If it's a pain, just let me know.

My father, SAMUEL HOTENE TUATEA CHASE, told me that JAMES ALVIN SHAW CHASE was in fact, a shipbuilder from California, USA. He was on his way to Australia when he became ill at sea and they set him down in Napier, NZ. All the CHASE family in New Zealand have descended from JAMES ALVIN SHAW CHASE. The line continues from California, USA to the Eastern States - among those of Maryland and Massachussetts mainly. A bit of trivia: Judge SAMUEL CHASE of Maryland is also one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Cheers.

On maps it is Pollopel Island: 6 3/4 acres of mostly rock; 1,000 feet from the eastern shore of the Hudson just north of Cold Spring; 50 miles north of New York City. During the Revolutionary War, patriots unsuccessfully tried to stop the British from advancing north of the island by sinking 106 upright logs tipped in iron points in the Hudson. Later, General George Washington approved plans to use the island as a military prison. The castle's builder, Frank Bannerman VI, was a Scottish patriot, very proud of his descent from one of the few MacDonald's to survive the massacre at Glencoe in 1692. Acting on behalf of the Crown, a rival clan, the Campbells, slaughtered all MacDonald males ages 12-70. One escaped to the hills with the clan banner -- and from that day on, his family name was Bannerman. The Bannerman family immigrated to the United States in 1854, when Frank was three, and settled in Brooklyn. At the close of the Civil War, the U.S. government auctioned off military goods by the ton, mostly to be scrapped for their metal. Young Frank was one of the first to realize that much of what was being sold had a market value higher than scrap. Under his guidance, Bannerman's became the world's largest buyer of surplus military equipment. When they outgrew their store at 501 Broadway in NYC, they looked around for a larger and safer location in which to store their ammunition. Pollopel Island was selected. Frank Bannerman personally designed the island's buildings, docks, turrets, garden walls and moat in the style of old Scottish castles. Almost all of it was done without professional help from architects, engineers and contractors. And all of it was elaborately decorated, from biblical quotations cast into all fireplace mantles, to a shield between the towers with a coat of arms, and a wreath of thistle leaves and flowers. The castle was constructed between 1901 and 1918. It was primarily an ammunitions storage site but the Bannermans summered there too. Attend this interesting talk about a little known architectural wonder and learn about the struggle to maintain its existence.
