Phyllis We may have a connection: Jacobus Cromwell, b 1754, Schenectady, m Rachel Gardiner in 1774 at the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Caughnawaga, Fonda, New York Children: Phillip I. Cromwell, b Apr. 13, 1774, Fonda, N.Y., bp May 12, 1774, d Nov. 29, 1857, buried Carlisle, N.Y., m Apr. 28, 1799 Maryte Graft in Caughnawaga Reformed Church, Fonda, N.Y. Stephen, b 1776, Fonda, N.Y., m 1709 Hannah Dayton, Fonda, N.Y. Hermanus, b 1777, Fonda, N.Y. If you need it I have the Cromwell line from 1683 to present. I also have our Gardiner line from George Gardiner from 1637 to present I am still TRYING to connect Rachel Gardiner to the George Gardiner line. The Cromwells and Gardiner also connect in the 1800's when Chester Irving Gardiner (of Berne, N.Y.) married Nancy M. Montanye. - Their daughter, Arvilla Gardiner m Apr. 27, 1885, Frank James Cromwell. Arvilla and Frank are my grandparents. I have found the spelling of Gardiner several ways. Gardinier, Gardineer, etc. They all seem to have migrated to the Mohawk Valley - Albany, Schenectady, Duanesburg, Esperance, Fonda etc. If you obtain any more information re: Rachel, I would appreciate a copy. Also, would be glad to share any information with you. We originally lived in upstate New York, Esperance, Schenectady, etc. Jeanne Cromwell 8121 52nd. Lane Pinellas Park, Fl. 33781
