My Allen family went from Westerley about 20 years earlier to Stonington, CT to Lebanon, CT then disappeared about this same date. I suspect they went to Vermont, but have no proof. They disappeared until the Revolution, when they surface in NE Columbia County in New Britain and Canaan. Track the relatives--who did all the children marry and where did they go?

Does anyone have actual directions/street address to the Green River Cemetery in Austerlitz? Thank you for your help! Grace

Please excuse the cross posting. Does anyone have suggestions for finding a man who was a weaver by accessing occupational lists? Do any exist? I am looking for my ancestor Benajah Slack. Circumstantial evidence indicates that he was the Benajah born 1733 in Westerly, RI but I can't prove the RI to NY move. The Benajah who disappeared from Hopkinton, RI in 1762 was a weaver. My Benajah apparently first settled in Dutchess Co, by 1787 (and possibly by 1779) he was in Columbia Co. After 1800 he moved on to Montgomery Co. where he died in 1818. I have looked at both of the History of Dutchess Co. books and have not found Benajah. I will appreciate any suggestions.

List, I am trying to find the location and basic information about a Churchtown, Columbia County, New York. It is listed as the location for the christening 22 April 1810 of a "Johny HAMM", son of Petrus HAMM and Catharina KOEN, who may be my 3rd great-grandfather, John P. Ham. This information comes from FamilySearch. There are two records for the christening, one listing the location as Churchtown, the other listing the location as the St. Thomas Lutheran Church. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Andrew Jelen ajelen@wfpl.net

Dear Grace, The Columbia County entries are mainly in "Eastern New York," but all 3 books should be searched for the relevant names. Those people moved west and marriages and deaths were of interest to friends and relatives in other parts of the state. Connie

10,000 Vital Records of Eastern New York, 1777-1834 This volume focuses on the interior county of Otsego and on the 300-mile strip comprising the eastern-most counties of Clinton, Essex, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Albany, Columbia, and "Old Dutchess," which, prior to 1812, included the territory of present-day Putnam County. Sorry for the list clutter! -Grace

Ive never quite figured out if Columbia county is eastern NY, central NY or whatnot. Does anyone have this book or know about it if it contains columbia county or if it does do you know anyone who does lookups from it? Thanks all! -Grace
