The Journal and Poughkeepsie Eagle Sat. June 2, 1849 INQUEST - On Thursday last Coroner Taylor held an inquest upon the body of a man found in the river near Barnegat, a few miles south of this village. He was apparently about 35 years of age; from the appearance of the body it must have been in the water six or eight months, and it is supposed the person who fell overboard from a canal boat opposite this village, some time last fall, and for the recovery of whose body a reward was offered at the time. From papers found upon him his name is believed to be "I. Hulberton", and that he was captain of the canal boat C. A. Wheaton. Over seventy dollars in money was found upon his person, together with a watch and various papers. His wife and friends are believed to reside at Syracuse. - - - - - - - Not my family - Just passing this along. - - - - - - - Ginny http://www.geocities.com/ginnyflies/ Ginny's History, Genealogy, Historical Preservation, & Poughkeepsie Hometown Page Dutchess & Putnam Counties, NY
