Does anyone have Jean Worden's book of the records of Shawangunk RDC? I need two marriages and a baptism looked up: Isaak DECKER & Anneken BOGARDUS, marriage: Peter DECKER & Maria HOFFMAN, marriage: Levi DECKER, born 08 Jul 1788, baptized: I believe they all took place in Shawangunk RDC, but not 100% certain of it. Hurley/New Hurley are also possibilities. Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on these elusive folks. Julie Hesson, endlessly sorting out dead Dutchmen.....

Just received my uncle's death certificate from Albany, NY listint his burial in St. George's Cemetery, Newburgh, NY. Would like to know if anyone has been able to receive info on burials there, if so, what would the cost be to obtain same? Or, if someone has the telephone number of the cemetery so I may call them. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dorothy Navarre, FL

I have the complete Probate Records for a William Staples of Newburgh, Orange County, NY who died intestate in 1910 or 1911. William left no widow but brothers Stewart, Peter, Lewis and Noah. I have determined that these people are not part of my Staples line (as far as I can determine at this time). If anyone has connection to these people, they are welcome to have these papers.

Good Morning All : I'm looking for the information on a Curtis Coleman formerly of Blooming Grove and Cornwall, Orange Co., Ny. This Curtis Coleman died sometime in 1768. His Will was probated 25 May 1768. It was reported in the book " THE GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM COLEMAN OF GLOUCESTER AND GRAVESEND, ENGLAND 1619-1906 " By James Cash Coleman that Curtis Coleman's father's name was Thomas. Anyone know anything on this said Thomas Coleman or who his wife was or if he had any other children other then Curtis. Anyone know when this Curtis Coleman was born or where he was buried ? Sincerely Steve Wilder

I have hit a brick wall researching my grandfather James Forbes Taylor's(1849-1902) family. So I am reposting my research interest using the middle names of James Forbes Taylor's children. One of his children was named Carrie DOTY Taylor(1874-1919). I am hoping this middle name might be a family name of a branch of the family tree. I know that the Taylor family lived in Pond Eddy, New York; Minisink, New York and Port Jervis New York. I am wondering if Abner DOTY born about 1820 in Minisink, Orange, New York might be the family member that caused Carrie to have the middle name DOTY. Could anyone possibly have some information about the descendents of Abner DOTY? James Forbes Taylor married Melissa Carpenter. The Carpenter family was also from Orange County. I would appreciate a hand up the family tree. Thanks, Jim Taylor of Warren, Ohio

The Middletown Daily Times Feb. 19, 1896 A Very Attractive Sight will long be remembered as one of the happiest Society events ever held in this city- Middletown's social season of 1895-96 came to a brillent end Tuesday night the last day before the Lenten season which begins to-day with Ash Wednesday. The occasion was a leap year hop at the Casino, given by the young society ladies of this city to the young bachelor gentlemen who have been so gallant during the season just closed. No expence or pains had been spared by the young ladies interested to make the affair a brillant one, and suffice to say their efforts were rewarded by one of the finest society events that have ever occurred in this city; indeed , no social occasion in this city ever seemed to be possessed of the same spirit of happiness as was noticed. The young ladies performed their duties for the leap year occasion in a very creditable fashion and quite as graceful as any of the boys have ever been noted to do as suchevents. The decorations were furnished by Firnhaber and consisted of tropical plants arranged at the footlights of the stage. The music was furnished by Prof. Roescher's orchestra of four pieces.
