Thanks for trying. Samuel West's death notice regarding any money owed to people was in the newspaper published July 1831, in The Albany Argus. I will keep searching. The fact that Margaret's mother took her family into Saratoga, NY May 1788 hints that I should be looking there too. Father Valentine Jenkins took off to VT in 1788 to escape jail for not paying his debts...that is the data found on the story of his dau. Hannah Jenkins Barnard. One of the main reasons he got disowned by the Oblong M.M. in 1789 besides leaving the area without permission This research has been stalled for 18 years. No clues until that DNA match of 36 out of 37 markers showed up Dec 2007. I had been searching the wrong West line for 18 years, no wonder I could never find a connection. thanks again fran in mi -----Original Message----- From: Bob & Dee Carroll <bobdee@westelcom.com> To: nydutche@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 10:55 am Subject: Re: [NYDUTCHE] Dutchess Co [Quakers] On Jan 25, 2008, at 11:42 PM, : swftotter@aol.com wrote in part: > Samuel West b. abt 1760 m. about 1789 Margaret Jenkins ( disowned by > Oblong M.M. 12-14-1789 for her marriage)? , dau of Valentine Jenkins, > Sr of Dover, Dutchess Co NY ...Valentine was Baptist before becoming > Quaker in 1761...Sam was in St. Albins VT in 1790? and so was > Margaret's brother Valentine Jr...

Is there anyone at all working on these families from Dutchess Co? I am desperately seeking Isaac Ridgeway's family. First found in the 1790 Census for Fredericksontown, Dutchess Co.1800 Philips, Dutchess Co and lastly ,with son, James in 1810 Philipstown Dutchess Co.

Wow, thank you for that information. I am looking for the marriage of two brothers: Samuel West b. abt 1760 m. Margaret Jenkins of Dover, Dutchess Co NY abt 1789 ,? she was disowned by the Oblong M.M. 12-14-1789 for the marriage. Margaret's father Valentine Jenkins Sr was Baptist when he came to Dutchess Co NY , He became a Quaker in 1761. Margaret's uncle Philip Jenkins was s Baptist Minister in RI. Sam's brother William Barber West b. 1755-1765 m. Abigail about 1787...I have a disownment of a Abigail Jenkins in 3-12-1787 also a dau. of Valentina Jenkins Sr....she just might be William's wife. Not unreasonable to have brothers marry sisters. These two have been my "brick wall" for over 18 years. New DNA results of a line out of Onondaga Co Ny? is "suggesting"? a connection to the? line of William West b. 1717 Windsor, Hartford Co CT, that settled in Hillsdale, Columbia Co NY .we think these two brothers are from a brother or cousin of William b 1717. I did check the online catalog at the LDS and could not find film of Dutchess Co Ny...I may have to look again. Thanks again for the info. We just might plan a trip to Dutchess Co this coming summer.

There appears to be a number of microfilms of Marriages prior to 1790 in Dutchess County in various churches and some by Justice of Peace. I would not limit the search to Baptist and would review any records available for that period. You might want to contact the NEHGS and have their Archivist check the R Stanton Avery Special Collections (manuscripts) that collection has some early Dutchess County Records from a Baptist minister. It might help to give the name of your Ancestors and any other information (Maiden name, parents and etc.) that you have. Someone else might be researching the same family and have information available. I have a number of books, old journals and etc with early Dutchess County Marriages listed, but I would need a name to look for.

Hi Fran You mention Baptist Marriages prior to 1790. There appears to be a number of microfilms of Marriages prior to 1790 in Dutchess County in various churches and some by Justice of Peace. I would not limit the search to Baptist and would review any records available for that period. You might want to contact the NEHGS and have their Archivist check the R Stanton Avery Special Collections (manuscripts) that collection has some early Dutchess County Records from a Baptist minister. It might help to give the name of your Ancestors and any other information (Maiden name, parents and etc.) that you have. Someone else might be researching the same family and have information available. I have a number of books, old journals and etc with early Dutchess County Marriages listed, but I would need a name to look for. Regards Pat R

Dear Carol, Well-you are correct: One ? might get many kinds of answers and you now have LOTS to work with. The northern line of Beekman Patent abuts Pleasant Valley, Washington; and Amenia where there were many Quakers. It would follow that some township-borders-- and neighbors--would have overlapped.

Carol, My grandparents are buried in the Upton Lake Friends Cemetery in Clinton Corners, Dutchess County. It is one of two Quaker burial grounds in Clinton Corners. They were not Quaker; they were Baptists (my grandfather was Episcopalian until he married my grandmother). An interesting aside--the old Quaker Meeting House in Clinton Corners became the Grange Hall many years ago. My grandparents met there at a Grange dance (1917 or 1918). Barbara L. de Mare, Esq.

Delegates from these local weekly meetings attended a Monthly Meeting, a regional meeting with territorial jurisdiction which met once a month for business; two or more meetings for worship would constitute a Monthly Meeting (historically). Going up the ladder and covering larger geographic areas, there was also a Quarterly Meeting (delegates met 4 times a year) and a Yearly Meeting (delegates met once a year). For the genealogist, it is the Monthly Meeting records that are most important, since their minutes and record books contain the Society's vital records. The Monthly Meeting could hold property, accept and expel members, issue and accept removal certificates (requests to move from one Monthly Meeting to another Monthly Meeting, thus showing where people migrated and the approximate time they made the move), record marriages, accept and record reports of the local meetings about births and deaths. A Monthly Meeting often took the name of one of its local meetings or perhaps the town which had the most PM's, but the Monthly Meeting is a separate entity from any of the meetings for worship under its control. Even if one knows the name of the local meeting house that a Friend probably attended, it is important to know which Monthly Meeting it belonged to, since vital records will be recorded there. The Dutchess County meetings most likely to include members who lived in the Beekman Patent would be Oblong MM (the earliest) and Oswego MM. Original Dutchess County Quaker records have been deposited at Swarthmore Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA 19081-1397 (Telephone 610- 328-8000).

Isn't it great how much we all learn fron one question. I have been searching my family for over 20 years but this was the first time I came up with a possible Quaker. This is a wonderful group and together we can break down those walls. Thanks, Carol L. Heap Florida

also forgot to include dau. Abigail Jenkins found in that index......now this makes more sense in my West family research out of Dutchess Co NY ...Samuel West is m. to Margaret Jenkins of Dover and his brother William Barber West is m. to "an" Abigail and as their son is living "next door" to Jedediah Jenkins, cousin of Margaret in Queensbury, the dots are now beginning to connect. Only took 18 years. This Jenkins line "were not" Quakers by birth,? they were Baptists...only Valentine Jenkins with his family joined? the Oblong M.M.in? 1776 and he was disowned in 1789. Several daughters were also disowned. As this Jenkins line was in Dover, Dutchess Co Ny I am looking closer at the Benjamin West? OF DOVER that killed himself in 1817. 1790 Pawling census shows "a" Benjamin West? having 5 males under age 16, 2 over 16 ( one being Ben). If he had a son age 16 in 1790 then this Benjamin would have been born abot 1754 which puts him the age group of Samuel and William Barber West. As I cannot find him in the online census index in 1800? he may have been older. I doubt he is the Benjamin b 1733 brother of William b. 1717 who had David 1752 in Amenia. fran in mi -----Original Message----- From: swftotter@aol.com To: nydutche@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 1:48 pm Subject: Re: [NYDUTCHE] Quakers in Duchess Co,NY My thanks also, as now I find Valentine Jenkins Sr had a son Joshua Jenkins. fran in mi -----Original Message----- From: Doris Wheeler <doriswheeler@bellsouth.net> To: nydutche@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:43 pm Subject: Re: [NYDUTCHE] Quakers in Duchess Co,NY Linda, Thank you for this.

Linda, Thank you for taking the time to explain the Quaker system of records, that will be a big help as I start down this research path. I have printed out your instructions will use them as I try the websites you included. Thanks, Carol L. Heap Florida

Carol, Just a quick review of Quaker records-- Local meetings called meetings for worship or Preparative Meetings (PMs) conducted their own weekly worship meetings; it was this local group that attended church in the building called a meeting house. Delegates from these local weekly meetings attended a Monthly Meeting, a regional meeting with territorial jurisdiction which met once a month for business; two or more meetings for worship would constitute a Monthly Meeting (historically).
