To anyone interestest. The sponsors at the baptism of Anna Catharina Milham (Jurien Zuvelt and Catharina Reisdorf) are outline below: --------------- Georg Adam, SHUFELT, the son of Johann Georg Shufelt and Anna Catharina Zaam, was born April 18, 1702. Records of the Allendorf Church list sponsors at his baptism as Johann Georg Haffener, Adam Schnee, and Anna - wife of Thőnges Vőlpel, all from Hasselbach. At a very young age he left Germany with his parents and sailed from Rotterdam to England and later to the Palatine settlement in New York, arriving there in 1710. According to the records of West Camp Lutheran Church, a Jurg Adam Zufeld was confirmed Easter Sunday, 1714, at Queensberg. Gorg Adam Zuvelt was among those naturalized along with his father at Kingston, September 8 and 9, 1715. Dutchess County Tax Lists show that "Jurrian Adam Toofelt" made his first appearance on tax rolls in 1725 and continued to be enrolled, sometimes as Adam Zoefelt/Toefelt, until 1778. The Livingston Debt Lists show that "Jurry Adam Soeffelt" was a Palatine Debtor in 1747. It is possible that he was the individual listed as a freeholder of Dutchess County in 1740 under the name of "Jury Adam Soefelt." A 1755 census of negro slaves in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, includes a listing for a "George Adam Toevelt" who owned one female slave "Dien" and a "George Toevelt" who also owned one female slave "Febe". A Jury Adam Shufelt appears among those of Dutchess County who refused to sign the General Association. A detailed description of George Adam's conduct during the Revolutionary War is found in a biography of George Adam's great-great-grreat-grandsons-John L. and Norman S. -in Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, 1914, and quoted below. Church records indicate that Georg Adam first married Elisabetha Krans, the daughter of Johan Henrich Krantz, born about 1702 in Germany. The name of her mother, who apparently died prior to the departure from Germany or during the journey, has not been determined. Her father makes his first appearance on the Hunter Subsistence Lists, July 1, 1710, with one person over the age of 10 and two under 10 - probably Elisabetha and her brother Michael. Georg Adam and Elisabetha Kranz had [6 children]... Georg Adam, then married Anna Catharina Reisdorff, the daughter of Johannes Reisdorff and Anna Margaretha Coert. They had [10 children]... ---------------- This discovery opens up a huge question for me. I strongly suspect that the "Anna Resina", wife of Johannis Milham is actually "Anna Regina" and pehaps may be Anna Regina Shufelt/Zufelt. I am nearing completion of a draft of a rather huge book (probably a two volume set) and it includes an Anna Regina Shufelt/Zufelt, a sister of the above name George Adam that I had assumed died at a young age. She may, in fact, be the Anna Resina/Regina in question. Her entry in my draft currently reads as follows: --------------- Anna Regina SHUFELT, the daughter of Johann Georg Shufelt and Anna Catharina Sahm and a twin of Anna Sibylla above, was born in August, 1712, in West Camp. Baptismal records of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church, West Camp, show her to have been born during August, 1712, and baptized August 9, 1712, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in the West Camp Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, New York. This same record lists the parents as "Jorg Zufeld and Anna Catharina" and the sponsors as "Henrich Lorentz and wife" and include a note that the "Baptism occurred in the upper German Colonies, twin." A translation of the Kocherthal records of the West Camp Lutheran Church includes: "Record of children who were baptized by me, Joshua Kocherthal, the first pastor of the Germans of New York. . . Aug. 9th: Anna Sibylla and Anna Regina, twins, born Aug. 9th, children of Jorg and Anna Catharina Zufeld; sponsors: Henrich Widerwachs and his wife, Henrich Lorentz and his wife." The fact that her twin sister, Sophia, and a younger sister, Anna Maria, were confirmed at Beekman's Mills, June 22, 1731, and she wasn't, leads one to conclude that Anna Regina died prior to 1731. ---------------- If anyone can shed any light on this matter, positive or negative, it would be greatly appreciated.

John Allen married Sabina Meiers and they had at least six children. The eldest, John, was born on 14 July 1759. He married Magdalena (Lany) Andrew (if I have the right John Allen) and they settled on a patent for 200 acres in Sutton, Quebec, Canada. Supposedly he was conscripted into the Revolutionary Army, captured during his first battle, and on being taken to Canada to prison, persuaded the British he was on their side and fought with them for the rest of the war. Any information on this family would be appreciated.
