A BROWN 4th cousin has found me through surfing the net. Her Grandmother had a chart that her uncle found in her attic on the Brown family. My newfound 4th cousin resides in Columbia Co., NY. My Brown line is from Edwin E. and hers from his sibling Ann E. who m. John H. MOORE. In those papers a Hezekaih & Elizabeth SCHOONMAKER were sponsors at the baptism of David BROWN at the Reformed Church, Coxsackie. He was born 4 Oct 1801 and he died 12 Sept 1832. David's widow Mary nee Miller m. 2nd Martin HERRICK. David's parents were John and Hannah Schoonmaker Brown. Although the 1810 Coxsackie census in Beers states there is a Hezekaih Schoonmaker enumerated I have not found him in the index of ancestry.com or genealogy.com. I will search manually. My thought is that Hezekiah and Elizabeth may be parents of Hannah Schoonmaker. Any help is appreciated!

Hi Janice - so we were right after all regarding David's parents! That is awesome. This chart shows Johan and Hannah as parents? Hezikiah and Elizabeth could be Hannah's brother and his wife, or her parents, or other relatives. I do find a Heaekiah and Elizabeth Schoonmaker as parents to a number of children being baptized in Coxsackie. I also note in the Katsbaan church records that there is a Hiskia Schoonmaker (Hezekiah) and Johanna Wulfin, who baptised their son Hiskia on June 26, 1749. I also see this same couple baptising their daughter Annaatje (Hannah?) on April 12, 1762. My initial thought is that these two are possibly Hannah's parents.
