List, I am looking for information regarding the family and descendents of Solomon Sanders who live in the Town of Danube. The farm was situated on a very long farm lane off of Bush Road. The farm lane is now referred to as Florian Rd. thanks to the 911 emergency system. I am trying to increase our database information on the New World Dutch barn that was situated on the property. I know that they were involved in the dairy busiiness and maintained a large cheese house plus a large hops yard. Any other information will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have information on the family of Norm and Veva Gerhardt? They lived in Herkimer Forks in the 1940's. I am trying to find their family line as they are cousins of mine. I lost track of them when my parents divorced. I have pictures of a family reunion in 1943 on my Great Aunt Mina and Owen Finnegan's place in the Forks.

You are right. The Frank Family was there! I bought the movie too. My ancestors are from that area as well. The Frank's are in my family tree also. Check out the wife of Valentine Boyer. That's where the Frank's came into my family. Manheim, Herkimer, NY. Gail Boyer Swetman

Here's a note for outlanders, like myself, not familiar with a TOWN in New York State. Think of a county subdivided into eight to ten pieces (Plus, or minus.) The subdivisions are called TOWNs, sometimes as Townships, but not often. In the Towns are wide spots in the road, unincorporated communities referred to as Hamlets, or if incorporated - a Village, or a City. These two may only be identified as one or the other, by their government, perhaps a sign at the border as you enter the place telling you which it is. In the Town of Minden there is a hamlet of Minden, but notay voo, in the Town of Palatine there is no hamlet, city, or village called Palatine, just Palatine Bridge accross the Mohawk from Canajoharie. Confused yet? It keep one's attention to the map, doesn't it? randy, seatle, wa. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cvanwagenen@hvc.rr.com Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 9:04 AM To: NYSCHOHA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYSCHOHA-L] Re: Places:Stone Arabia & Linden, NY This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Hello listers I found some tid-bits of Stewart information and have put together some possibilities - My great-great grandfather was Joseph Stewart, said to have been born in Warren, Herkimer Co. NY His father is said to have been a John Stewart who along with 5 brothers were among the first settlers of Ft. Warren, NY. I found a Jonathan Stewart listed on an "on-line" 1800 census for Warren, Herkimer Co. NY with 2 males under 10 yrs; 1 male between 26-45; 2 females under 10 yrs; 1 female between 26-45. According to the Herkimer Co. NY web page the town of Warren was one of the earliest Herkimer county town formed from German Flatts in 1796. >From the Family Tree Maker CD 143 NY in the Revolution and the War of 1812: "Third Division--Service of the Refugees and Others, in the State of Connecticut" - STEWART, JOHN — Capt. Smith, Col. Elmore, Cont'l at German Flats 1776. If this is "my" Joseph Stewart's father it may be a clue as to why one reference said that Joseph was born in Connecticut. Also note - Cont'l at Germans Flats. It was listed in the "Past and Present" that the grandfather of "my" Joseph Stewart came to America in 1745, and was in the massacre of Ft. William Henry (1756). Ft. William Henry was located on the southern tip of Lake George, Warren Co., NY. AND - just a few miles north of Ft. William Henry is the town of Bolton and a couple of miles north of that is the town of Bolton Landing. "My" Joseph named his youngest son (my great grandfather) John Bolton Stewart. Also - I entered for driving directions from town of Herkimer NY to Fort William Henry - it gave me 103 miles and the town of Warren in Herkimer Co., is about 21 miles south of the town of Herkimer. I also found a William Stewart that inlisted on June 10, 1755, which coinsides with the Fort William Henry engagement. On Family Tree Maker CD354, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1538-1940 I found several with the Stewart surname coming in 1745 - and there were 3 William Stewarts - however the one that I liked was a William Stewart who arrived in Philadelphia, PA 1745. I liked this one because it is not stated that he was endentured as the others were and I have a hard time imagining that if this person were endentured for 4-7 years he would have would have been hard pressed to have 5 sons - not to mention a possible daughter or two scatted through in that short of time. Whew - guess that's it for now. I have no hard evidendence - all conjecture but very interesting to me. - by the way, all of this is very tantilizing on the map. Dot Dotsipe@aol.com

I was to that page, they didn't tell me w hat a Dutch barn is.

What is a Dutch barn? My grandfather had a round barn which was quite unusual I expect as I never see any of them.

We are a NYSED incorporated non-profit educational organization engaged in the documentation of New World Dutch barns. One of our mission goals is to record the sites of barns that are no longer standing. We have been able to do this to date with two barns that have been gone 25 and 15 years respectively. One of the barns was recorded in a set of three family photographs taken 25 years ago just before the barn that was in the process of falling down was knocked down. We have also been able to ascertain that a barn was standing at a given date from the will inventories describing objects that are only found in a barn. If anyone has any information regarding this type of barn we would greatly appreciate your kind assistance. Perhaps you have a document that includes information regarding one of these barns or better still a photograph of some sort of family outing or function that shows one of these barns in the background. We may have something of interest regarding your family, if they owned a Dutch barn. Thank you all for your time and consideration in this matter.
