RE: Fagan's In the Davenport Records it indicates that a Bartholomew Fagan lived in the area. Records indicate that some of the family members are buried in the Oneonta (Otsego County) and Franklin (Delaware County) areas. Have you tried there? Linda

Here is information about the Harpersfield lands. Donna Delaware County, NY Genealogy and History Site _http://www.dcnyhistory.org/books/munsharp.html_ (http://www.dcnyhistory.org/books/munsharp.html) The History of Delaware County W.W. MUNSELL 1797-1880 THE TOWN OF HARPERSFIELD Electronic text by Marilyn L. Nichols Trumbull, Ohio THE HARPERSFIELD LANDS In 1776 or 1777 the Harpers, finding that the Indians had lands lying between the Delaware and Charlotte rivers, which they were willing to sell, determined to found a settlement of their own; but before they could purchase from the Indians it was necessary to procure a license from the governor of the province, for it seems to have been as unlawful to deal with Indians without a permit then as it is now. The following is copied from the original, by favor of Mr. D. N. Gaylord, a great-grandson of Colonel Harper: { L.S. } By his excellency Sir Henry Moore, Baronet, captain general and { (arms.) } governor in chief in and over the province of New York and the territories depending thereon in America, chancellor and vice admiral of the same, to all to whom these presents shall come or may concern, greeting. Whereas, John Harper, sen., William Harper, John Harper, jr., Joseph Harper and Alexander Harper, by their humble petition presented unto me and read in council on this day, have set forth that there are yet certain lands unpurchased of the native Indians of Onoughquage, of which they are the proprietors, situate, lying and being in the county of Albany, upon the head of the Delaware river: and the said Indians being disposed to sell the same, the petitioners, with their partners, are desirous to purchase one to enable them to obtain his Majesty's letters patent for the said lands, that they may settle, cultivate and improve the same; or any other unpurchased lands belonging to the said Indians where they may be disposed to give them, not exceeding the said quantity; and therefore humbly prayed my license for the purpose aforesaid- I have therefore thought fit, by and with the advice of his Majesty's council to grant, and I do by these presents give and grant unto the said John Harper, sen., William Harper, John Harper, jr., Joseph Harper and Alexander Harper full power, leave and license to purchase in his Majesty's name from the native Indian proprietors thereof the lands aforesaid; provided the said purchase to be made within one year from the date hereof, and conformable to the regulations contained in his Majesty's proclamation of the 7th of October, 1763; or that the parties do produce a certificate signed by Sir William Johnson, Baronet, his Majesty's sole Agent or Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Northern Department, that the Indians to be brought before me for the sale of the said lands are chiefs of or belong to the tribe or nation who are the owners and proprietors of the said lands, and that they have authority from such tribe or nation to dispose thereof. And for so doing this hall be to them a sufficient license. Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Fort George, in the City of New York, the ninth day of April, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven. H. MOORE By his Excellency's Command, G. Banyar, D. Sectry. The time given in the foregoing license was probably extended, as the purchase was completed the 14th day of June, 1768. A patent was soon after granted to John Harper, sen., William Harper, and seventeen others, most of whom afterward assigned their interest to the Harpers. This was done in compliance with the English rules, which in ordinary cases only allowed one thousand acres to each individual. The patent is granted in the name of the King, by Cadwallader Colden, Esquire, lieutenant governor, giving to each of the patentees and his heirs one thousand acres of land but excepting and reserving all mines of gold and silver, and all pine trees fit for masts, of twenty-four inches diameter and upwards twelve inches from the earth, for masts for the royal navy. The grant is made subject to a yearly quit rent of two shillings and sixpence sterling for each 100 acres, and is erected into a township, with all the powers and privileges of a township forever. This township is to elect annually two assessors, two over-seers of highways, two overseers of the poor, one collector, one treasurer and four constables, to be chosen at the most public places in the township. Vacancies to be filled by election within forty days after they occur. Digging the gold or silver, cutting the pine fit for masts, or default in payment of the quit rent, renders the patent void. These rents were released by the State for services during the Revolutionary war. Pursuant of the royal patent a deed was given to the patentees. It first recites their petition, in which they say they have "borne a proportionable part of the expenses attending" the purchase from the Indians of two hundred and fifty thousand acres, more or less, bounded on the south by the Delaware, on the north by a line a mile from the Susquehanna, and extending down the Delaware from its head "to the mouth of a certain creek called Canuskully." The deed then mentions the consent of the provincial authorities, and that the petitioners desired that such part of the tract "as had been lately surveyed for them, con-training twenty-two thousand acres, should be created a township by the name of Harpersfield, with the usual privilege." The deed concludes as follows: "In pursuance whereof, and obedience to his Majesty's said instructions, we, the said commissioners, do hereby certify that we have set out for them, the said John Harper, sen., William Harper, John Harper, jr., Joseph Harper, Alexander Harper, Andreas Rebar, William Golt, Thomas Hendry, John Wells, Robert Campbell, James Scott, John Wells, jr., Joseph Harper, jr., John Thompson, Robert Thompson, John Thompson, jr., James Moore, Robert Wells, James Harper, Timothy McIlvain, John Rebar and Johannes Walrad all that certain tract or parcel of land within the province of New York situate lying and being in the county of Albany, between the Cookquago branch of Delaware river and the branch of the Susquehanna river called Adiquitange, beginning at a rock maple tree marked on four sides with a blaze and three notches and with the letters and figure A.C. 1768, standing on a high point of land at the south side of a small pond of water called by the Indians Utsayanthe, from whence the said branch of the Delaware, called by the Indians Cookquago, issues and runs; thence north thirty degrees west five hundred and forty-nine chains; then south eighty-six degrees west two hundred and fifty chains; then south sixty-three degrees west one hundred and eleven chains; then south thirty degrees east seven hundred chains, to a tract of six thousand acres of land granted in the year one thousand seven hundred and forty to Arent Brant, Volkert Van Vechten and others; then along the northern and eastern bounds of the last mentioned tract northeasterly and westerly as they run to the said branch of Delaware river, called Cookquago; then up the north bank of said branch as it winds and turns to the rock maple tree where the tract first began-containing twenty-two thousand acres of land and the usual allowance for highways. "And in setting out the said tract or parcel of land, we, the said commissioners, have had regard to the profitable and unprofitable acres, and have taken care that the length thereof doth not extend along the banks of any river otherwise than as conformable to his Majesty's instructions." "Given under out hands at the City of New York the twenty-ninth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine, in the tenth year of our Sovereign Lord George the Third, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, and so forth."

Daniel Butler; 103. Benjamin Odell; 105. David Wilcox; 207 and 108. Andrew Richey; 210. Stephen Churchill; 219. Peter Monfort. The writer does not assume to have named all the lots upon which persons have at some time resided; on the contrary, there are a number of lots settled early of which he has been unable to discover the first, or even much later settlers. Some of the names may be misplaced, but the list is believed to be nearly if not quite correct as far as given. It should also be remembered that many of the lots have never had a house built on them, and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to learn the early occupants of such lots. In May 1770, Governor Franklin sent out a surveyor named Hooper to survey a patent of thirty thousand acres, which had just been granted to him; but before doing so it was necessary to run the boundaries of Harper's patent, which was done that year, and probably the lines of the Kortright patent were run at the same time. The thirty-thousand acre tract thus surveyed for Governor Franklin is still known as the Franklin patent.

Hugh Maguire (or McGuire as spelling varied back then), lived in Eastern Delaware (Davenport area) from just after 1800 until his death sometime after 1840. Hugh has a rather interesting story, as he was an estated Irishman who was force-conscripted into the British army about 1775, but detested the purpose and snuck away the first night encamped near New York City. He joined the American forces and fought the rest of the War on the other side. What I'm trying to discover is exactly when he died. I know he was living with the Teneick family for the 1840 census (Sarah as housewife) and was over 95 at that time; but I haven't seen his name on any cemetery records, for example. -Marc

I have several family lines (Fagans and McGuire, etc) that stayed in Delaware County for generations. I was wondering where I might find resources on land ownership to aid my identifying an early Delaware settler in my line. I have a copy of an 1820 deed where Daniel Fagan (about 17 years old at the time), was given land from Molly Fagan (likely mother or other older relative). The Deed states that they "...both are of Harpersfield Delaware Co., NY on 1 July 1820; lot #169 patent of Harp. and easternmost line patent of Kortright". Does anyone know how to trace the original owner of this Lot #169 and records of how it may have transferred to Molly? The odd thing is that there were only about 2 Fagans in all of the upstate of NY prior to 1820, but none in Delaware according to the Census (even though Daniel claims he lived in Delaware his whole live). Also, Daniel sells the land in 1831 and moved to Davenport. -Marc

Hi, Your previous email stated that the AWVS became the WAC, which is not true. They were two separate and distinct organizations. One was a volunteer organization, the other was a paid organization and part of the official military.

Hi All, Please see the article below. It does not say that Alice Throckmorton McLean was the founder of the WAC. The predecessor of the WAC was the WAAC. Also here is a link to a very long history of the WAC beginning with the signing of the bill by FDR: _http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/brochures/wac/wac.htm_ (http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/brochures/wac/wac.htm) My mother served in the WAC in WWII. I served during the Vietnam Era and my sister followed 3 years later. Our pictures are included on my personal website: _http://cmmeadows2.com_ (http://cmmeadows2.com) . Carol Potter Meadows Women's Army Corps >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was a special unit of the _United States Army_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army) , established in 1942, which organized the female enlisted personnel. Its first director was _Oveta Culp Hobby_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oveta_Culp_Hobby) , from Texas. As many as 150,000 American women served in the corps during World War II. They were the first women other than nurses to serve with the Army. While conservative opinion in the leadership of the Army and public opinion generally was initially opposed to women serving in uniform, the shortage of men necessitated a new policy. During the same time period, other branches of the U.S. military had similar women's units, including the Navy _WAVES_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAVES) , the _Women's Auxiliary Air Force_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Auxiliary_Air_Force) , the _SPARS_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARS) of the Coast Guard and the (civil) _Women Airforce Service Pilots_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_Airforce_Service_Pilots) , . The WAC was disestablished in 1978. Since then, women in the U.S. Army have served in the same units as men but do not have combat duties.

Kay, Sorry for confusing you. I honestly can't explain why, but when I was growing up people always referred to Rte 10 as the "front side" of the river maybe because it was the "main" road. The road on the other side of the river, which is County Rte 18, they always referred to as the back side of the river.

Merry Christmas Everyone! As I sit here working on several different genealogical items at once, I am reflecting on times past. Memories of my personal holiday traditions, some of which I am hoping that I am passing on to my children....and wondering about others. What was it like in some of our Delaware towns? Were there any specific traditions that anyone knows of? What about traditions amongst some of the families that we are researching? My father talks of lighting the candles on the Christmas tree, for Christmas Eve only, and only for a very short time........fires you know. Rene'

Thank you. I thought it would be something simple like that. Where I live, I am "an old-timer". I use names of places as they were 40, 50 and 60 years ago. I am sure none of our newcomers (and there are plenty of them) don't have any idea where those places are by our "old-timer" names. My Dad came to this valley in 1920, according to a sister's marriage record. My Mom came here for a couple fruit seasons before she married Dad in 1930. They lived here the rest of their lives. I left here for a few years and then came back to be married, etc. Kay C. South Kortright is about midway between Hobart and Bloomville . Most of it is [on the back side of the river] and that section is part of the Town of Stamford.

Bonnie, In the Stamford cemetery book it shows that a Zachariah Whitney (Soldier) died on Oct. 22, 1849 aged 85y 2m 11d. It also shows Elizabeth, wife of Zachariah died on July 1, 1843, aged 77y 7m 13d. Irena Whitney, wife of John Odell died on sep. 28, 1848, aged 54y 4m. They are all buried in the Locust Hill Cemetery in Hobart, NY. Linda

Hobart & Bloomvile are located on Route 10 between Delhi & Stamford. Runs sort of parallel to Route 30 on which Roxbury is located. Route 10 runs from Deposit up along the Cannonsville Reservoir, thru Walton, Hamden, Delhi, Stamford and points north.

South Kortright is about midway between Hobart and Bloomville . Most of it is on the back side of the river and that section is part of the Town of Stamford. All records would be in the Town of Stamford Town Clerk's office in Hobart, BUT, they won't have any for the early to mid 1800's. Their records start with around 1885 or 1886 I believe. The front side of the river is a part of the Town of Kortright and their records are in the Town Clerk's office in Bloomville. You might find records in the church's. So. Kortright has a Presbyterian Church and I believe some of their records are on the Delaware Co site. The other church is the Catholic Church and the priest would know if there were any back that far. I am not sure if there is a historian for South Kortright or not. Dick Nesbitt should be able to tell you and he's on this list.

Where is South Kortright and where would I find vital records and cemetery records for someone from there in the early to mid 1800s? I've been looking for Joseph Whitney but now someone suggested he might be Zachariah Whitney. Thanks, Bonnie
