As Mellenville is the next town over from Philmont, I would try the town clerk. Her name is Eilene Morris, 122 Main Street, Philmont, NY 12565, tel. 518-672-7032 (Hours: M-F 9 to 2). Ask her for either a birth record or death record. If you have no luck there you could try Claverack as Philmont is a village within the town of Claverack. The town clerk is Mary J Hoose, PO Box V, Mellenville, NY 12544 tel. 518-672-7911 (Hours: M-F 9 to 3). Sorry I could not be of more help. Happy Hunting, Susan
