Thanks Gary. I think the Teneicks are related and wonder if there is any information on Sarah and her family. I tried to locate them prior to 1840 in Delaware but haven't had luck. Any ideas? Also, I have found Hugh's pension application. He moved into the Harpersfield area before 1810 (he was a witness on a land transaction in 1804 in Kortright). Despite this, I cannot find out how he received land himself. Is their a record of original owners of plots of land in Kortright prior to 1810? When was the original patent distributed? -Marc On Jan 15, 2007, at 12:08 PM, Gary Welch wrote: > There is a Hugh McGuire who served from NY in the Revolution but, > oddly, he > doesn't appear to have ever applied for a pension.

Have you tried searching under the common surmane "Ten Eyck"? ~Valerie --- Meadowland PTO <pto4us@verizon.net> wrote: > Thanks Gary. > > I think the Teneicks are related and wonder if there > is any > information on Sarah and her family.

Marc, The deedbooks microfilmed by SLC go back to 1792. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=124485&disp=Deedbooks%2C+1792%2D1907%20%20&columns=*,0,0 Or, www.familysearch.org > Library > Family History Library Catalog > Place Search > Delaware (place) New York (part of) > New York, Delaware > Land and Property > Deedbooks There are also mortgage books. I've copied all the Gaddis deeds and mortgages this way. Or, the books are in the courthouse in Delhi. Per "The Evolution of Delaware County New York Being a History of its Land" "24 Feb 1770 - The Kortright Patent granted by King George III of England to Lawrence Kortright and twenty-one others 22,000 acres in Albany County, Province of New York. (Affects part of present Delaware County Towns of Kortright and Davenport") Further in the book it mentions the 21 others - Lawrence Kortright, Walter Franklin, James Franklin, Huybert Van Wagenen, Peter Byvanck, Cornelius Van Ranst, Nicholas Rosevelt, Isaac Van Duzen, Frederick Fine, Benjamin Underhill, Peter Berrien, Peter VanRanst, Amos Underhill, William Ustick, Jonathon Holmes, Richard Sharpe, Willet Taylor, Baltus Van Kleeck, Gerret Abeel, Evert Byvanck, Thomas Ten Eyck & Peter Schermerhorne as tenants in common and not as joint tenants. It was recorded in Delhi Liber 67 of Deeds, beginning on page 547 on Jan 20, 1869. It was originally recorded in New York State Archives in Albany, NY. Hope this helps. Also, there is a Ten Eyck pond/lake in either Davenport or Kortright. Can't remember which now.
