In Athens: Hollenbeck, Van Loan, Clough & Van Hoesen Hmm. Possibly the four most prevalent Athens families in the 1700's and early 1800's. I think I know what you're looking for as we have discussed this, but it's probably a good idea to be more specific for the list. Anybody else have an interest in these families too? They're so large that they are hard to follow. Here's a perfect example of where many eyes on the problem might be able to stitch together little pieces of these families into something bigger. The part you have may be the part that somebody else is missing. Jim

Jacob VanHoosen born 1802 died before 1880 Melinda Waite born 1815 died Oct 30, 1892 in Williamstown, Oswego County Children Hannah VanHoosen born 1831 married John Butler Catherine VanHoosen born 1833 married Louise ?? Daniel VanHoosen born 1837 Getty Eliza VanHoosen born 1839 died between 1860-1863 in Altmar, Albion Township, Oswego County, New York married Russell Wait Horace VanHoosen born 1840 died May 04, 1863 in Civil War married Helen ?? Emma Jean VanHoosen born Dec 25, 1844 died May 05, 1917 Altmar, Albion Township, Oswego County, New York married Russell Wait Not sure if they connect to anyone from Greene County or not -----Original Message----- From: James Brady [mailto:brady.j@att.net] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 3:21 PM To: NYGREENE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [GREENE COUNTY] Roll Call - Athens? - Hollenbeck, Van Loan, Clough &Van Hoesen In Athens: Hollenbeck, Van Loan, Clough & Van Hoesen Hmm.

Jim and all: I am attempting to find the correct linage for three families lines all originating in Athens and ending up in the Stockbridge/Great Barrington, Berkshire County, MA, i.e., Van Hoesen, Van Loan, and Hollenbeck. I have provided detailed information below to shw how these families connect together in the Berkshire area: VAN HOESEN: I have a Polly Van Hoesen, born 1796, married to Henry E. Clow in 1815 (Jim you have previously provided Heny Clow's linage to me and I thank you for that information), however, I have still not been able to confirm Polly?s (Mary) lineage. I did find some research on http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ (by rosecrow_12871@yahoo.com) who apparently has some personal family documents that references Polly Van Hoesen's parents as: Jacob G. VAN HOESEN was born 28 Feb 1756 in NY, USA, and died 28 NOV 1809 in NY, USA. He married SARAH GARNER. She was born 1752? in NY, USA, and died 25 SEPT 1842 in NY, USA. . However, I have not been able to confirm this information anywhere. Does anyone have anything on Sara Garner or any other parentage information for Polly (Van Hoesen) Clow? VAN LOAN: I descend directly from Polly & Henry Clow?s daughter, Elizabeth Clough (born in Athens1823 & died in Stockbridge, MA1902) she married Jeremiah Van Loan (born in Athens.1829 & died in Great Barrington, MA in 1864 @ age 35). The death register for Jeremiah from the Boston Archives (also found on Newenglandancestors.org,) indicates his parents are Ethan & Mary. However, Sylvia has done some research for me and does not think "Ethan" is a correct reference. Jim you also have indicated that this doesn't not appear to be a correct name. I?m attempting to obtain a copy of the original register in Great Barrington to compare since the register at the Boston Archives is a hand written copy of the original. Jeremiah and Elizabeth had four children: Annette (married Abraham/Abram Hollenbeck), Jacob Henry, William Henry (married Rosa Decker) and Jeremiah aka Jerry/Jerre (married Buhla Wilson). The linage for Jeremiah's (senior) Van Loan has remained very elusive and if anyone! has anything on this guy I would appreciate it. HOLLENBECK: Elizabeth (Clough) & Jeremiah Van Loan's daughter, Annette, married Abraham Hollebeck in 1865 in Great Barrington. I believe his parents were George and Helena (Everts) but have not been able to find this family in any of the census for NY or MA. I have very little on Abraham Hollenbeck, does anyone have anything on him? If anyone has anything to contribute, informatin or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
