Hi Peggy I don't remember where I got her birth date from? Guess I'll have to do a little digging on that one. However, I don't think it is a baptismal date because she was baptised as an adult on 10/9/1830 at Woodstock DRC. She's listed as "Polly Rose wife of Jacobus" . Her surname is quite different with the baptismal information on four of her children. They were baptised at Woodstock DRC. - Benjamin: Mariah Bontoff and James Rosa - William: Polly Major and James Rose - Anna Catharina - my gg grandma: James Rose and Polly Bento - Sarah Margaret: Jacobus Rose and Polle Bunte Between Benjamin and Margaret there are two other children who died as infants. I haven't looked for baptismal information on them. Four more children were born in Walton, Delaware Co. NY. The surname Brink came from "The Leading Citizens of Delaware County, NY - 9th Edition" pages 30-31. The article is about William (listed above). It is possible that her maiden name may not Brink???

She was married to Jacobus/James Rosa. Sorry. I don't have any details about her. I wonder what the source for the date of birth (or is it baptism?) is?
