Hi, I'm interested in your Kemp connection. My grandmother's sister, Marion Sutherland, married Rob Kemp. They had two children, Nell and Leslie. Neither married. Their farm was on what is now called Kemp Road near Meridale. They are buried in the Franklin cemetery as far as I remember.

Patty, you are exactly right that I should thank Linda Ogburn. She provided me with some great information that I have saved but not really followed through on yet. My earliest known McKee is James, listed on our web site as buried in Gilchrist Cemetery, Route #33 at age 77 in 1884, which would have made him born c. 1807. I have a will of a William McKee of Harpersfield which shows he died 1799 or 1800 and could have been the grandfather of my James who was born in 1807, but this is only speculation, of course. The names of this William's children fit with the later family -- William, James, Maryann, John -- but they were of course very common Scotch-Irish names. Also interesting to speculate about is the possibile relationship to the McKee family who were murdered by the Indians (Gould, etc., history books on dcny site), i am told in 1779. Only daughter Anne survived the attack, but father (no first name known) was away in Schoharie and could have been the William McKee of Harpersfield whose will I have, if he stayed and produced another family. I also have the Inventory of William's estate, dated March 19, 1800. It lists two books, two small books, and three writing books, which could be a clue, since my known McKee's were clergy/educators. Would the two books, two small books and three writing books found among Williams's "chattels" in 1800 be a predictor of a significant pursuit of education three generations later? There is a William McKee of Harpersfield listed as a qualified juror in 1798, occupation yeoman; and a William Makee (this spelling also seen on signatures on inventory for estate) signing as witness to a sale of land on July 8, 1799. Probably the best solution to these puzzles is to become a historic novelist and just fictionalize it -- just kidding...

Dear Joyce,Many thanks for your YEARS of work on behalf of us all- especially those of us who live far away.[I am in Ventura Co.,CA.] And now to Rene who is oicking up the reins. There are those of us who cannot even imagine how one would begin to do what you and Joyce and all the other List Administrators do or have done. Thank you. EVERETT-Thomas ActonEVERETT m.Polly[BENEDICT] in 1820 in Salem,Westchester Co.,NYS but the entire family came out of Norwalk or New Canaan,CT.Parents were: Joseph EVERETT and 1st.wife --? and 2cd.wife Hannah [ST.JOHN] and Billy-6-BENEDICT andAnna[EELLS] I do have a good deal on the ancestry of these families. This family moved to WALTON,Delaware Co.,NY about 1815-1820 when they are found in the Walton Congregational Church Records until about 1833-then to a ME. church by transfer--but no records yet found in that church. My particular interest is in the EVERETT family through Thomas A.EVERETT's son George A.EVERETT,[1823-1908] and his wife,HARRIET M.-------. If any LISTERS have a miscellaneous Harriet running around in either Walton, Delaware Co. or, perhaps' north of Walton between there and in /around Afton area of Chenango Co., did she marry an EVERETT and 'disappear'? They married around 1845, are in Sidney,Delaware Co.on 1850 Census; then in Chenango Co. some years [census]; had eight children; then migrated to Broome Co.,NYS.-where they died.But, after over 10 years of research-HARRIET M.------ 's maiden name remains my brick-wall.

Can provide the answers you are seeking if Stephen Hunt was born in Step. 20, 1788. His father was Daniel Hunt b.July 01, 1741 in Dutchess Co. and died Aug. 11, 1811, Plattekill, Ulster Co. and he m. Mary Burch on Mar. 03, 1767. Mary was b. Dec. 26, 749, Dutchess and d. Aug. 18, 1840, same place of death as Daniel. They had 17 children with Stephen being the 14th and have the names and DOB for the entire family. SOURCE: Ulster County Commemorative Review, 1896. Can not recall if I read the book or obtained it from the net. I am not related to this family, unless I can connect one o his off-springs having a child, named Charles. Hope this answers you inquiry and sorry that I forgot to put the Surname in an earlier MSG. Alan

I believe that John & Abbie (Kelly) Jenkins were Phoebe's parents and that they moved to colesville - I understand that they are buried in the Riley Farm cemetery you mention. Have you seen it? And yes, according to the list of children I have, my Phoebe Jenkins had a sister Amy . However it gives Amy's DOB as 16 May 1825. will send more off-line. cousin Sue At 09:04 PM 10/16/2006, you wrote: >Message: 9 >Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 18:05:11 -0700 >From: "Dana Valley" <dana.valley@comcast.net> >Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] Roll Call multiple - Jenkins (Sheila) > VanVolkinburg >To: <nydelawa@rootsweb.com> >Message-ID: <000a01c6f188$4d5cc710$f8490a18@home> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > >I am interested in your line. > >My g g grandfather (Sanford VanVolkinburg)first wife was Amy Jenkins. >She was born in Delaware County in 1820.

My Delaware County Roll Call. Kathy

Florence, I don't remember if we've corresponded before or not. I also have McKee's. My Adam Gaddis married Catherine McKee. I have always wondered if they came over with her family. I know nothing of Catherine except backing into her birth year of 1777 and that she was from County Down, Ireland from a bio of one of her sons. Please keep me in mind when doing your McKee research. Thank you for the thanks on the Gilchrist Memorial records, but you really should thank Linda Ogborn for transcribing them all. All I did was borrow the books from the woman at the church and bring them to Linda since I was only there for the weekend. Linda spent the many hours it took transcribing them. The photos of the church on the website were provided by me from that trip. Good luck with your narrative of James Harvey McKee.

Joyce, I'm not sure how this is going to come across to you. Will send in a separate file privately if need be. You mentioned that your James persons may be from MA. I did some searches on the NEHGS site and found the following in a "vital records to 1850" search. I'm not sure if they have finished indexing all the towns or not yet.

My ancestors in Delaware county were Joseph and Henrietta OTTENBERG (or OTTENBURG). Joseph was born in Nordheim, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany in 1813 and arrived in New York in 1843. He and his family are listed as living in Davenport on the 1850 Federal census and the 1855 New York State census. In 1860 they were living in Kirkland, N.Y., and in 1870 in Rochester where he and his wife are buried. I have much information about the Ottenberg family in Germany and the U.S., but I am looking for information on Henrietta. I don't know her maiden name, nor her place of birth (just Bavaria), nor the place and date of their marriage. Their daughter Caroline (my great great grandmother) was born in 1852 while the family was living in Davenport. Would their be any records of the birth available? Joseph was a butcher and was Jewish. I don't know what brought him to Davenport, unless the community was looking for a butcher. David Shapiro Jerusalem, Israel

Hi Evelyn, John Hendrix was a Bro. to my GGreat grandfather George. They were sons of Obed & Hannah (Teed) Hendrix. Write me off-list i'll give you more info. YT George Hendricks

Hello Susan, Maybe someone from the town hall where the actual books are could help with that. A few years ago when I was there I found some maps of all the plots. I copied the ones for the towns my family was in, but Stamford wasn't one of them. When you looked in the deeds books I'm assuming you searched by the name. Sometimes the deeds and mortgages weren't recorded for many, many years after the sale took place. So, just because it was a deed book covering a certain time period, it may have deeds from earlier years because the date is when it was recorded, not when it was sold. I'm not sure why. Maybe someone on the list might know the answer to that. I have some deeds that weren't recorded for sometimes 30 years after it was purchased. Here is a page with one of the portions of the Davenport map. This is how I tracked my Gaddis' and who their neighbors were. http://www.dcnyhistory.org/map1869dav1.html I'm sure there are maps for Stamford. Good luck.

I have a John Hendrix who m. Elizabeth Finkle; he died Elizabeth m2 Dumond. That's as good as I have on the Hendrix. He apparently lived in t/o Middletown at that time, although daughter Phebe Ann (b 1852) told a story of going to Illinois c1860 and the trip back to New York State making her very sick. Phebe Ann Hendrix m. Aaron Sprague (s/o Wm Sprague and Harriet VanSteenburgh) and are my great grandparents. So where did the Hendrix family come from ? evelyn

Hello Marsha, yes we are related. Harriet A VanSteenburgh, sister of John the Anti-Renter, married William Sprague of New Kingston. William and Harriet are my great great grandparents. Also, their daughter Phebe Gertrude Sprague married Abraham L VanSteenburgh, aka "Lawless". I think Phebe and Abraham were cousins, but my VanSteenburgh ancestor files are practically non-existent. Do you know anything about a Barent VanSteenburgh? He was c1800 or earlier- if I have the name right. I suspect they came up from Kingston, before that I am clueless. The Delaware County information is good, but they all moved from New Kingston to Union Grove then over into the wilds of the t/o Hardenburgh, Ulster County c1880. John VanSteenburgh had a farm in the Berry Brook area and Harriet and William Sprague are supposed to be buried out there, but the tombstones in the Berry Brook cemetery are more like Rocks with no writing. I would have thought someone would have owned a chisle. evelyn

Forwarded on behalf of nrogers5@comcast.net -------Original Message------- From: nrogers5@comcast.net Date: 10/16/2006 7:00:22 PM To: rtreff@stny.rr.com Subject: Hunt family I am looking for the family of Stephan and Catherine Hunt, who appear in the 1850 census in Middletown, Delaware County. Stephen is shown to be about 62 years old(born 1788), his wife Catherine is shown to be about 33 years old (born about 1817). They are listed with their children, Mary Jane, James, Daniel, and Sarah Mariah (Sarah is one of my ggrandmothers) According to the 1865 census she was born in Delaware county. At the time of the 1865 census she was living in Tompkins. I am specifically interested in verfication that Stephen's father was Daniel Hunt. I have long suspected that Catherine was not his first wife, but I have no proof of this. I have absolutely no information on Catherine other than the fact that according to the 1865 census she was born in Dutchess county. A few years ago I borrowed the 1855 census for Delaware county from the LDS and spent considerable amount of time reading it and did not find either Stephen or Catherine in it. According to the family of Catherine's last daughter - Lucinda she was born in Ulster County, New York in 1850. I have a feeling this might not be correct. Catherine had 3 husbands before she died in 1884. She is listed in the 1860 census as Catherine Dickerson living in Neufield, Tompkins county and shows as a widow. Her son by ???? dickerson had not yet been born when the census was taken. By 1865 she is still living in Neufield and once again shows as a widow with 1 child form 2nd marriage and 2 children from 1st marriage living with her.

Have a Stephen, b. Sept. 20, 1788 who m. a Catherine (MNU), b. 1815 and had 5 children, Mary Jane; James; Daniel; Sally and Susan. If this is the correct one, then he was the 14Th child of Daniel and Mary (Burch) Hunt. I have no information on the children of Stephen just on him and DOB on his parents. Need to check my files for the source, but believe it came from some County book and available on the web. I am seeking another Hunt who married one of my g-g-aunt.Eleanor Rundle (Rundell) who m. Daniel Hunt 853, but his parents were Chorales and Elizabeth (MNU).
