This is in the town of Hancock. The road starts at Peakeville, near East Branch. Neither Methol, Burnwood or Peakeville today are anything resembling towns or villages. Just a scattering of houses, most of which were built in this century. My family was in Burnwood from about 1880-1905 and probably knew your G Grandfather. What was his name?. You'll have to use the index at the State Library in Albany to get an index number for the death certificate. If you can't go to Albany it will cost you a LOT to have state employees take the 5 minutes or so to do it for you. Once you have the index number it will cost you somewhat over $20 and about a 3 week wait to get a copy. If they do the index search it will take about 6 months. The Hancock Herald will probably have an obit for him on microfilm. Bob Norton

Methol is located in the Town of Hancock according to the NYA Gazetteer Linda

I did a quick Google search for the Town of Methol and found a rather interesting site that I had not seen before, called Epodunk. I used it to look at some more places in Delaware County and found that you can even see a satellite view of the listed cemeteries. Quite an interesting site.

Hi, Out of book Nameing The Hills and Hollows of Delaware County. page 88 Menthol was an acid factory village. A post office was established in 1894 under the name of Trout Brook with Irving Holcomb as the first postmaster. The name was change to Menthol in 1895, and was discontinued in 1915. Hammond & Fish reportedly shipping only acetate and methanol, ran the earliest wood chemical plant.

No, it was not. Until 1798 Cochecton/Cushetunk was part of Northampton County, with records in Easton, PA. Prior to 1752 it was part of Bucks County, records in Doylestown. None of the areas you mention were ever in Northumberland County or its predecessors, including Lancaster County. Northumberland County is a red herring. George mentioned that Wayne was formed from Northumberland and I corrected him. The evolution of the PA Cochecton area went from Bucks to Northampton in 1752 and then Wayne in 1798. You need the records from the Northampton County court house in Easton. The Cochecton/Cushetunk area was raw frontier and far from Lancaster County. Lancaster was already settled and it's unlikely that the 300 acres was bought on spec. It sounds more like a farm to live on (my guess). However, if he was a wealthy farmer he might well have bought land in Cochecton/Cushetunk (which is quite a way from Lancaster) as a speculation. The records for Lancaster County are extensive, and the Historical Society has many church and civil records in its care. For the 1760s, the records you are looking for would be in Easton, Northampton County. Don't be lured away from New York State. It is much more likely that a resident of Orange County, NY would buy land in Cochecton than a resident of Lancaster County, PA. There's a natural flow between the two areas. Orange and Sullivan (then Ulster) Counties are adjacent and there was much movement back and forth.

In Pennsylvania the land records are in the county in which the site was located at the time the deed was executed. Thus, Wayne County records before 1798 are at the Northampton County courthouse in Easton. Since Northampton County was formed from Bucks County in 1752, previous records would be located in Doylestown. The other counties were formed from Northumberland (not Northmoreland) County, but Wayne was not. The evolution of Pennsylvania counties is described very nicely at http://www.rootsweb.com/~pagenweb/formation.html if anyone is interested. There is further confusion about Pennsylvania deeds because at the time in question the territory was also claimed and distributed for colonization by Connecticut. The Susquehanna Company and the Delaware Company were both organized in Connecticut to place settlers in the disputed territory before Pennsylvania could get colonists there. This mess was not straightened out until after the Revolution. And...parts of Sullivan County were disputed with New Jersey! In any case, Cochecton land records would not be in Delaware County. Actual settlement of the Cochecton, or "Cushetunk" (or as it's spelled on the 1790 census "Cosikton") area took place around 1755 and I don't see the name Allison in any of the local PA histories, which suggests to me that the land may have been bought as an investment or perhaps future home. Of course, I didn't check Ulster or Sullivan County histories. One other thought just occurred to me. I recently learned that, in Pennsylvania at least, owners of large tracts were allowed to keep land surveyed by July 4, 1776, but if the land had not been surveyed it apparently returned to the state and was redistributed. Much of the undeveloped land at that time was owned by these speculators who hoped to make a fortune as the area of settlement moved west. I don't know if this was true nationwide or on a state-by-state basis. Perhaps someone has done some research.

Dear George, Ann and John, Thank you very much for your help in explaining boundary changes for counties and states which will have an impact on where I might find land records for Coshechton in the 1760s. I did find some information on another mailing list several months ago that Richardson Allison bought 300 acres of land in Donegal Twp of Lancaster Co., PA on 12 Oct 1739. At the time I found this tidbit of information, I wasn't sure that this info was about "my" Richardson Allison because I had no information that he ever had any connections with Pennsylvania. However, I've just checked the Handy Book for Genealogists and discovered that Northumberland Co., PA was formed from Lancaster, Berks and Cumberland Counties in PA in 1772. Now I obviously need to determine if the area called Coshechton that straddled the Delaware River was a part of Lancaster Co., PA in the 1760s. If so, I now realize that the land record for Richardson Allison that I'm looking for is in Lancaster Co., PA.

His son, Richardson Allison, was my G4 grandfather and he also lived in Goshen in Orange County. I have a copy of Richardson Allison's will which he wrote in 1763. In his will he gave to his daughter, Pheby Allison, all rights to his "land in Cashechton, divided and undivided" I had no idea where Cashechton (sp?) was located when I read the will. After doing some Googling with several spelling variations, I found references to the town of Cocheckton/Cosheckton in the "History of Delaware County" by Munsell at http://www.dcnyhistory.org/books/munhank.html Does Delaware County have early land records that would help me discover whether Richardson Allison owned land there in 1763? Richardson Allison died in 1769, so I assume that Pheby inherited the land after his death. She married Abram Gale, so the land might have been registered under either the Allison or Gale surname after Richardson Allison's death. I am willing to pay someone to do land record research in Delaware County to find out if Richardson Allison and/or his daughter, Pheby Allison Gale, owned land in or near Cosheckton anytime in the 1760s or later. I live in California so I cannot do the research myself. Thank you in advance.

The present-day town of Cochecton is in Sullivan County, and the area known as Cochecton (or something like it) straddled the Delaware River in what is now Sullivan Co. NY and Wayne Co. PA. Since neither was a county during the period you need any land records would be in the parent county. In the case of Wayne County, PA, it ws formed in 1789 from Northampton County and Sullivan County was created from Ulster in 1809.
