Hello, The subject of my research was not DUTCH, however the WILTSIE family of Westchester Co and Dutchess Co married into both the Ferguson and Manning families who are directly related to my research subjects. I would appreciate your consideration and help. I am researching Robert Manning who was born about 1646, perhaps born in CT, or more likely born in Great Britain. He was in Fairfield, CT prior to moving to Westchester Co, NY as one the first settlers of West Farms. You will recall the CT-NY land dispute on the border, which eventually was settled, and the CT landowners were able to finally settle in Westchester Co NY. On April 01, 1676 at NY he married Mary Ferguson, the daughter of John Ferguson of West Farms, Westchester Co NY. The last record in Westchester Co NY I have found for him is 1683. He was a wealthy landowner there. His neighbors were Gabriel Leggett (1635-1698), Thomas Hunt (1615-1694), and John Ferguson (1630-1681) (his father in law). In 1692 Mary Ferguson Manning remarried to Capt. Thomas Lawrence (1619-1703). I assume that Robert Manning died between 1683 and 1692. Robert Manning and Mary Ferguson had at least one child, a son named John Manning, who was raised in the household of his maternal Uncle John Ferguson, in Westchester Co NY, and John Manning witnessed a document in 1711 in Westchester Co NY. I am a descendant of John Manning, the son of Robert and Mary. However, I need help in finding additional information on this family. Because of the early date, the information is scarce, but I am sure there is more that I have not yet found. I would appreciate help and advice. Best regards, Lilly Martin

Everyone, Here is the link for the Brooklyn Freepages. For those who aren't familiar with this site, this was a compilation of information gathered and transcribed by the webmistress Nancy Lutz for Brooklyn Rootsweb site and volunteers from libraries and the LDS genealogy resources since 1997. It included a wide pallette of information. I sincerely hope this aids you in your research. http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/ Marie

Greetings Everyone, I happened to stumble on a 1909 Brooklyn Eagle article that uncovered what happened to my Grand Aunt who disappeared in the family history and need some help or advise. The article I am looking for is news for August 31, 1909 and about the elopement of Alexina van Spall and George Stanko. Mr. Stanko was part of a gypsy group at a fair who captured my 22 year old newly arrived in US grand aunt Alexina's heart. She sneaked out of the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Bastian Tuyt and disappeared with Mr. Stanko. I did find a disjointed article on this for this date but it's impossible to make sense of it with all of the other news jumbled with it. I could only make out parts of it and recognized names and addresses so I know this is the right family. Any advice or thoughts would be so helpful! This has been a long standing mystery for the family. Here's the link to the site where I did find this information: The Brooklyn Daily Eagle , <https://www.newspapers.com/title_1890/the_brooklyn_daily_eagle/>Brooklyn, New York, Tuesday, August 31, 1909 Thank you.

Dear Friends, I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. Located in Brooklyn, NY, we represent one of only two historic houses in the nation dating from the New Netherland period, when parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Delaware comprised a diverse and dynamic colony governed by the Dutch Republic. In addition to their indelible cultural legacy - words such as cookies and coleslaw, traditions such as St. Nicholas, and progressive ideas such as religious freedom and women's rights - the early immigrants to New Netherland were prolific. Their descendants, now numbering in the millions, inhabit all corners of the United States and have contributed greatly to American society. Presidents, movie stars, astronauts, artists, athletes, musicians, and everyday people like you and me would not be here if it were not for the oft-forgotten colony of New Netherland. Although the British capture of the colony in 1664 did much to erode Dutch traditions and anglicize the citizenry, the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum is committed to preserving one of the last examples of colonial Dutch architecture and educating the public about a unique, alternate history that is largely ignored. I hope you'll take a moment to explore our website and consider supporting us with your visits, talents, or gifts: http://wyckoffassociation.org/association/membership.html Please feel free to contact me for more information about the Museum or to find out how you can help sustain our initiatives.

There's an out of print book that I wonder if anyone has access to or the information in it in some other form: Clifford M. Buck, Dutchess County, NY, Tax Lists 1718–1787 with Rombout Precinct by William Willis Reese, edited by Arthur and Nancy Kelly (Rhinebeck, N.Y.: Kinship, 1990). I am in search of the Garret(t), Garatt family members said to have come from the Great Nine Partners on or before 1766 according to the marriage record of one (John) Garrett into the Waltermire family referencing father "Thomas Garrett" of Great Nine Partners. Thomas was said to have been married in Bristol, RI  in 1742 and his eldest son, (Samuel) has a b.d of 1745. I have not found Garrett children in the Rhode Island church records and wonder if they were born in Great Nine Partners. The oldest record I have found for this family is Coxsackie 1779 which gives 4 Garretts: Simeon, John, Benjamin and Isaac. I am not sure where earlier tax records for Coxsackie would be--Dutchess? Albany? Simeon and John are supposedly  brothers. They are often linked together and their children married into the same family at least once (Miller).  Thomas has proved elusive. His wife, said to be Mary Potter Garrett, seems to be buried in Ballston--the age on the stone seems right--but Thomas doesn't appear to be listed in that cemetery or any other Garrett male old enough. Perhaps she travelled there with a son after his death elsewhere. There is a Samuel appearing only in 1790 in Ballston and Joseph in Ballston 1800-1830.  Samuel and Joseph are said to be brothers of John and Simeon in a number of secondary sources. Book accounts say that Thomas had something like 10 sons but if true,  these are the only four that seem to be somewhat traceable in New York--Samuel the least so. It is interesting that the name Thomas does not appear in John or Simeon's children or grandchildren (the lines I am more sure of through wills. etc). Can anyone help me find the Great Nine Partners connection or possibly earlier tax records for Coxsackie area?  Thanks, Sue

Coenradt Van der Beek bap. Sept. 1, 1647 was not married to Elsje Jans Schaers. It has been proven that his wife was Elsje jans Pietersen, the daughter of Jan Pietersen and Grietje jans, the widow of Frederick Jansen. When Teunis G. Bergen published his book "Register in Alphabetical Order of the Early Settlers of Kings County, Long Island" page 317, he wrote " Coenradus Coenraet (Pouluse), bp Sept. 1, 1647; m. 1st Elsje or Eesje Janse (sup) Schaers; m. 2nd, Oct. 20, 1702, Catharine Cook, wid. Resided in Gowanus, mem of Br. D. Ch." As you can see, he wrote "supposed". I have the baptisms of the children of Coenradus van der Beek and Elsje jans and in each instance, the witnesses are members of the family of Elsje jans Pietersen.

Hi Fran, To find out more about your Van Housen family you should go back to when the early settlers lived in Albany County. There is a reference to a number of Van Housen family members listed in Jonathan Pearson's "Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Ancient County of Albany from 1630 to 1800." There is some information about the family on my website at www.angelfire.com/ga4/myhayes_family/. Many members of this family belonged to the Lutheran Church. I have a number of family members who moved to Steuben County. Richard

what is his birthdate ?? Can you obtain a DC to ascertain his parents names ?? My wife's GGrandfather James Patt was born in Holland on 3/20/1852. He emigrated to the USA in 1856. He married Ellen Pitt who had emigrated from England in 1856. They settled in Brighton, Monroe County, New York, later moving to West Webster, Monroe County, New York, where James died in 1940. We are looking for any information on James Patt's parents and family. We were told by my wife's father that James Patt's surname may have been changed from some earlier surname due to a family fight. James Patt first appears in the 1880 Federal Census along with his wife and 2 children. We have reviewed church and cemetery records to no avail.

My wife's GGrandfather James Patt was born in Holland on 3/20/1852. He emigrated to the USA in 1856. He married Ellen Pitt who had emigrated from England in 1856. They settled in Brighton, Monroe County, New York, later moving to West Webster, Monroe County, New York, where James died in 1940. We are looking for any information on James Patt's parents and family. We were told by my wife's father that James Patt's surname may have been changed from some earlier surname due to a family fight. James Patt first appears in the 1880 Federal Census along with his wife and 2 children. We have reviewed church and cemetery records to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Pat (one T) surname is somewhat common in the Netherlands. But the James first name is not. It might have been Jan or Johannes. While it is always possible that he changed his last name, for now you can only proceed with what you know. Have you searched the 1860 and 1870 census? There is a 17 year old James G. Patt living in Saratoga county in 1870. Have you tried Castle Garden? There is a Patt family arriving in 1856. They came from Germany but sailed from Antwerp. http://www.castlegarden.org There is no one by that last name on the Dutch to America CD (FTM 269) Was he naturalized? Finding name change documents without a date will be harder. But at the same time he might have never done so officially. Especially if it was only the first name. -- Sincerely Peter http://familyrecordfinder.com/ A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. --Mark Twain

I have that info, but am still looking for source, and proof who his parents are. I know he was in the Revolutionary War, but also suspect he may have been Quaker - so that is very confusing. . There were two Lott Swifts, and evidently one was Quaker. I was dreaming hopefully, that someone on this list belonged to the same family and had documented source info. I have Elizabeth Barlow's father's will, and was confused about how he appeared to think she would not be married much longer to him. I have all the ancestry and rootsweb info, but none of it is "sourced" or documented. There should be a will, bounty land grant, pension papers, etc. I really appreciate your help. Thak you very much. Hopefully, I may help you some day. I believe in what goes around comes around, and I have received and given on many lines. I have never researched this area before.
