Jim.. Thank you. There is no mention of a Hannah Schoonmaker in the tree. Could be that Hezekiah was a sibling of Hannah and not her father. Still a mystery as to the relationship of David & Hannah Schoonmaker Brown to Hezekiah and Elizabeth Schoonmaker. Janice >> Maybe this will help? 1. Elizabeth1 Wells; married Hezekiah Schoonmaker.

Hi Janice, I don't have enough information to form an opinion on how Hannah Schoonmaker was related to Hezekiah Schoonmaker. At first glance, given the Hezekiah tree, it seems less likely that Hannah was his daughter. However, I don't have a birthdate for either Hezekiah or his wife Elizabeth, so they could have had children earlier than the first Kinderhook baptism I cite. If Marragrietta (Margaret) was the last child born to the couple, and if they had married early, and if they had a typical 20 year span of child-bearing, there could be records of earlier baptisms in other churches back to say 1775. Lots of ifs. Maybe someone else has more on Hezekiah?
