I purchased an 1850 farmhouse about 5 years ago, rented it for 2 years, started to remodel the house in 2005, moved in in 2007, and have started gradually investigating the history of this old charmer. Although this processes has just begun, I am hopeful I will be able to acquire more information and photos to add to the already intriguing finds. I did come across the following .... Deed from Coursen H. King and Marcella C. King to Isaac Burdick, recorded Dutchess COunty Clerks office 4/26/37 in Liber 559 of deeds - pg. 114 If the birth of Coursen was 1864 - the 1937 date seems feesible. AOD @ 73 years. I welcome any info you have on this couple who are obviously a part of my home. Thanking you in advance -md Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Dear List, I always like knowing the end of the story. So let me tell you what I found out about Amos Nettleton and his brother, Daniel Nettleton, with the help of two members of the Albany County e-mail list. (The two Albany County List members were Donna [no last name given] and Janet Haseley, Research Chair, Rensselaerville Historical Society). I had run the whole list of surnames enumerated in the September 18th, 1779 Minutes of the Commissioners for Conspiracies past the several of the county lists and received two responses pertaining to the other men, who had been the subject of the Minute from the Commissioners on Conspiracies along with Daniel Nettleton. These responses helped me hone in on Amos and Daniel Nettleton. Amos Nettleton lived in Dutchess County and served in the Second Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia during the Rev War. At some point Amos Nettleton removed from Dutchess County and settled in the Rensselaerwick District of Albany County prior to the 1790 U.S. Census being taken. Daniel Nettleton apparently had settled in the Half Moon District of Albany County. He had been there long enough and was prosperous enough to have been listed on both the March 2, 1779 and the October 23, 1779 Half Moon District Tax Lists for Albany County, NY. According to Tim Fenton, Daniel had applied for land in Canada by 1791. Coldham's "American Loyalist Claims" gave me the information on Joseph Knapp, one of other men from the Half Moon District, who had been hauled before the Commissioners for Conspiracies with Daniel Nettleton in 1779. Knapp had been driven from his farm in the Half Moon District of Albany County in 1781 for harboring 19 members of the British army. Coldham states that Knapp escaped to Canada with seven others. I suspect that there is the real possibility that Daniel Nettleton, of the Half Moon District of Albany County may well have been one of those seven. Admittedly there was nothing straight forward about this research, but all is well that ends well, no matter how circuitous the route. Sincerely, Leslie Potter Glen Mills, PA

Looking for information on Timothy Shaw (1715-1779) - his siblings and ancestors and anything else:- TIMOTHY1 SHAW was born 1715 in ..., Ireland, and died 1779 in New Lotts (now part of Brooklyn), Kings Co., New York.. Notes for TIMOTHY SHAW:- 01) Muster Rolls of New York Provincial Troops, 1755-1764, Collections of the New York Historical Society for the Year 1891, Committee on Publications: Edward F. De Lancey, Daniel Parish, Jr., Charles Isham, Publication Fund Series, New York: Printed for the Society, MDCCCXCII. pp. 276-277, MUSTER ROLLS OF NEW YORK PROVINCIAL TROOPS, 1760, MEN'S NAMES ... #66 - Timothy Shaw, Date of Inlistmt. - May 1st., Age - 45, Where born - Ireland, Trade - Labourer, Out of what Company of Militia - Campbell, Officer who enlisted - Capt. Schuyler ... 02) In the New York Militia Rolls Index 1664-1775, under the "Index Of Names" , there is listed a "Shaw, Timothy ... 567". … The names covered all the muster rolls that were printed in the Second and Third Annual Reports of the State Historian, known as Colonial Series, Vol. I and II. 03) Alexander Fraser, Second Report of Archive For The Province Of Ontario (Toronto: Printed by order of the legislative Assembly of Ontario, printed ad published by L. K. Cameron, Printer to King s Most Excellent Majesty, 1950), pp. 884-885. Proceed in Of Loyalist Commission, St. Johns, 1797, Vol. XVI, before Commissioner Pemberton, Claimants, MS 19. New Claim - February 23, 1787. … He (John Shaw, Timothy Shaw’s son,) lived in Dutchess Co. Joined the Brit. Govert. In New York. … confined several times which obliged him to go within the lines for protection … Had a farm in Dutchess Co., … Claimt. is his only son. Has a sister living in the States. There appears by survey 186 acres … His father had been a Loyalist … 04) William S. Pelletreau, History of Putnam County, New York, With Bibliographical Sketches Of Its Prominent Men (Philadephia: W.W. Preston, 1886, ISBN 0-89062-006-7), refers to Timothy Shaw: - 04.1) Timothy Shaw defends the land claims of of the Philipse Family against the Nimham First Nations in an "Affidavit of Timothy Shaw, 1767". … Timothy Shaw made his home at the north end of the lake which from him took the name of Shaw s Pond until it was changed to Lake Gleneida. 04.3) In old burying ground on the Belden farm, at the southwest corner of Lake Gleneida, and where the slaves of the Belden family were buried in a small enclosure surrounding a single grave and a head stone recording the death of Deborah Shaw, who died May 5th., 1824, aged 84. She was an “alleged” white woman … She requested to be buried in that place because, as she said, "my ancestors lie there." It is probable that she was the daughter of Timothy Shaw and that a family burying place was there in early times. (Pelletreau, p. 282) 05) "...A family of the name of Shaw soon settled at Carmel village, on the north and south shores of the lake which still bears their name. ... situated on Shaw's Lake ... " The History Of Putnam County, William J. Blake, Pub. by Baker & Scribner (146 Nassau Street, New York, N.Y.), 1849. 06) I strongly disagree with Kenneth Linwood Shaw's assertion that Timothy Shaw (1715-1779) was a son of, even though he quotes me as a source for the Shaw Family information that I have sent him. There is no proof as to his assertions of Timothy Shaw's parentage. His allegations are as follows: Father: Israel Shaw b: 29 JAN 1659/60 in Page 20, Little Compton Town Records, Newport County, Rhode Island, New England; Mother: Mercy Tallman b: 1674 in of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. This is where I find his research: "John Shaw of Plymouth Plantation in Progress" to be flawed. Check: Muster Rolls of New York Provincial Troops, 1755-1764.

Is anyone researching the Slater surname from either Dutchess or Putnam County? There is a cemetery called the Methodist Churchyard in Mattewan NY where some Slaters are buried & there are some Bakers buried there with the Slaters. The years are from 1774 to 1876. Any info is greatly appreciated. Jane

Hi, I just spoke to my nephew, who works at the Astor Home in Poughkeepsie. He is pretty sure that the Rhinebeck Astor Home in 1940's was probably where your brother was placed. It was originally set up to treat sick kids, but now specializes in treating kids with emotional problems. And, yes, it was staffed by nuns. -R.

I believe this was in the 40's. He recently passed away, and in updating my genealogy files, wondered about the home he was in.

Can some one give me any idea where I could research for either a will or a probate record from Putnam or Dutchess Cty. I am also trying to locate where James Baker from the Matteawan area may be buried. Thanks in advance. Jane gramsjane@bellsouth.net

Is ther any one researching the Baker surname from Putnam Cty? I am looking for James Baker from the early 1800's. Jane

I am new to this list and have a question that I am not sure if it had or had not been addressed yet.   I have a brother (James MacFall) who was in a "home" in Rhinebeck because of "asthma".  I believe this was in the 40's.  He recently passed away, and in updating my genealogy files, wondered about the home he was in.  I Googled it and found there was a home called Astor which opened in 1953.  Astor was run by nuns.  The home Jimmy was in was run by nuns.  I remember, as a small girl, going to Rhinebeck to visit him.    Can anybody shed any light on what the home for boys was called?  Any help would be appreciated.   Evelyn (MacFall) Hinkle Grand Junction, Colorado

Dear List, Can anyone shed any light on any of the individuals, who were named in the following excerpt from the Minutes of the Commissioners for Conspiracies, which met at Albany on September 18th, 1779. At present I am not sure where these individuals lived. It may have been within the confines of old Albany County (i.e. present day Rensselaer, Saratoga, or Washington Counties) or they may have lived in Dutchess County. Any help would be appreciated.
