M.-c1794 Montgomery Co. to Lydia Elizabeth Williams )Lydia was born 1778 toJohn & Catherine (Krans) Williams)WE think Conrad's Father was Philip as we found a Philip Ausman(b-1740 or 50 Warrentown N.Y. )who married Barbara Elizabeth ?. Related surnames in this family are Bellinger &,Klock,I found some info at mormon records that appear to relate to this family from a Rex Stevenson .I wrote him but got no answer.Does anyone know of him.?He could be related through the Bellingers as 3 Bellingers married into the Philip Ausman family .Hope to hear from someone .Dorothy Brown >> Dorothy, I believe Rex Stevenson was the co-webmaster with Martha Magill for the Herkimer County Genweb site who died about a year ago. I am exploring the Van Allen family, and there was a Francis Van Allen who married a Katie Ausman. Might you know who she was? Any help is appreciated. Paul Horvat
