If you want help, it would be helpful to give your name and where you are from. There are two Solomon Curtis listed in the DAR Patriot index. One from New York, One from Massachusetts. I need some dates for your Solomon to confirm which might be him.

Please don't misunderstand - this is one of most important works of New York history and genealogy. It's just not very relevant to your project. I have probably a dozen ancestors mentioned (including Waldron, Ron), with stories of their fights, weddings, travels, etc, based on early records but embroidered somewhat. Much of it can't be confirmed, and some of the info on the European origins of families is pure speculation, usually wrong. These folks in the 1600's are four generations before the Revolution and have many descendants that fought. If you can trace all of the Patriots with connections in Greene County back to New Netherland you would have quite a book! Happy New Year all!
