Hi Jane, didn't mean to ignore your last email on these two, but I've been trying to see if I have a Rachel anywhere in the material I have on the Husteds. There are only a few Husteds in Greene Co in the late 1700's early 1800's, however there was a HUGE Husted family in Dutchess, Putnam/Westchester Co area and of course, back to CT. I have Doherty's Settlers of the Beekman Patent and altho there is 33 pages of Husted/Huestis info, no specific mention of Caleb Foster and Rachel Husted in any of the Husted branches therein. Two families I'd hone in on are: David Husted and Patience Palmer. David's father David was a Capt in the 6th Dutchess Militia, Land Bounty Rights (we've been emailing about him) David Jr and his brothers Abraham, Titus and Lewis all show up in Rensselaer Co (Nassau are) but it appears they may have had a stopover in Greene Co before landing in Nassau. David s.Jr had a duaghter Rachel, b. abt 1767. She also had a sister Phebe, born abt 1764. I also see a Phebe Husted marrying Ephraim Bogardus in Coxackie RDC. No evidence of the marriage, but loads of children. 1st child baptised, I see is in 1800, b. 10.28.1799. Phebe herself is baptised into the church in 1800, and her birth date is listed as 2.13.1780. The other Husted family in Coxsackie at that time is Jonathan Husted, b. abt 1761, married in 1787. However it is suggested that he is the son of John Husted, a brother of David Sr's father David and wife Johanna Brundage. Hope I am not losing you! Anyway, Jonathan is in the area, as are a Stephen, b. abt 1776, Asher, b. between 1785-1794, Benjamin, b. abt 1775 and Ephraim b. abt 1773. No listing of sisters, although there is a liklihood there were some (I think Phebe who married Ephraim Bogardus fits in here). John was also in the 6th Dutchess Militia, Land Bounty Rights and died presumably in Fayette Co, PA in 1810. Both of these men have DAR files. I''ve also checked the NYG&BS's article on Robert Heustis, Vol. 129 - in all 4 chapters published that year. No Rachel and Caleb Foster connection . Now Caleb and Rachel Foster were married in the Bagnall Baptist Church in Dutchess Co July 7, 1785, meaning to me that it is likely that Racehl was born 1765 or before. Interestingly enough, Asher (s/o John?) and Stepehen (s/o John?) were also married inthis church. Jonathan (s/o John?) was married by Baptist minister in Coxsackie. Is this a link? Still haven't found John's will or LofA in PA yet. Sylvia Hope this helps!
