Hi All, I have been monitoring the Scots in Delaware Co. and remembered that the Presbyterian Church in Delhi went back to 1805 and it was established mainly by Scots. I also know they have a library - archives there and so I asked them about the Scots coming there and this is their answer: From: "Clara" <cstewart004@stny.rr.com> To: <john_h_beach@compuserve.com> Subject: scottish ancestors Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 09:05:26 -0400 Dear Mr. Beach, I will try to answer your question concerning the Scots who came to this area. At this time, early to middle 1800s, life in Scotland was very difficult. Most of the Scots could not own land as it was owned by English well-to-do gentlemen. The Scots working on the land had to pay rent. It was a time of religious problems. The industrial revolution was beginning and machines were taking the place of workers in the woolen mills. Of course, this new Country was developing, had lots of land and needed to increase the population. Unfortunately, some of the immigrants came here only to find they still had to pay rent. A good book to read is; "A Free Soil-A Free People: The Anti-Rent War in Delaware County, New York" by Dorothy Kubik. The First Presbyterian Church recently celebrated 200 years of services. The first Church was built where the College Golf Course is at present, then to the Village in 1882. We now have an archives at the Church with maps and books designating who and where people came from in Scotland. I would be happy to show you our history when you are in Delhi. Clara Stewart Delhi, NY Don't forget that there many turnpikes, railroads and canals being built and this helped some of the Scots find jobs in several area of many years. Many Scots came here through Nova Scotia once the word went out about job openings. Small Scot settlements grew over time in several area throughout NY. Once they were established, they became a magnet for others to come. As these places increased in population other needs became evident, thus more trades were worked by the Scots. This would be true of any immigrant background. Hope some will be able to find more in Delhi. Kind regards, John H. Beach Yonkers, NY john_h_beach@compuserve.com Note: The "_" character is the underscore character, NOT a space or dash. July 12, 2007 9:29 am

Hi John: I have my BUNDY, BENNETT family in Delaware Co., Delhi on 1810 census and each one taken until they show up in 1850 in Meredith. Could you possibly furnish me with an address for the Presbyterian Church records or the name of someone who could research the records for me. Thanks..............

Hi John: I have a BUNDY line coming from Delaware Co. They appear on the 1810 Delhi census and each one taken until, I believe 1850, when they were in Meredith. Am trying to find the birth place of my gggrandfather, William Henry, son of Bennett Bundy. He was born in 1828 and all I have is Delaware County. Could you possibly furnish me with an address for the Presbyteran Church records or the name of someone who could research the records for me? I look forward to hearing from you..............

Hi Carol: Sounds like your memory is as good as mine. I don't remembereither. I can't for the life of me find a CHARLES H. BUNDY. Do have a CHARLES AUGUSTUS, born Aug. 9, 1852, Delaware Co. NY. He was a son of my WILLIAM HENRY and brother to my ggrandfather, DWIGHT WILLIAM. This family (William Henry) was in Illinois by 1860 and Nebraska by 1880. My line would be as yours, BENJAMIN, EBENEZER, ELEAZUR (ELEAZER) (you haven't listed him in your line) and BENNETT. Could I have missed your CHARLES H?................Lyndal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol MacMaster" <cmac@ptd.net> To: <nydelawa@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 7:12 PM Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] More Scots of Delaware help > Hi Lyndal, I have a terrible memory sometimes - Did I contact you before > about my Bundy Line?
