Hi : Does anyone off hand know the rootsweb e-mail address to get and make inquiry's for the County of Suffolk ? I tried the address they have on the web sight for that county. But I got errors and it wouldn't let me register. Any advise ? steve

I posted a question on the Orange Co page at Rootsweb and was answered by a town Historian. I was given alot of helpful info. I am in the process of sorting out what I was given to send back to him for his files. Not all, but many Historians check the Rootsweb pages. Give it a try. It did help me.

Carole, and all The purpose of the town historians, is just that, to research and record the history of their town. They are not in any way required to do Genealogy for anyone, although they are requested for such service repeatedly. Many of town historians do respond to genealogy research requests, but that is voluntary on their part and not required.

Hi All! I'm basically unfamiliar with NY research, since my TRAVIS family in Orange and Dutchess counties has been a real challenge to find records for. I'm most familiar with Pennsylvania, particularly the Pennsylvania "Dutch" in the east-central counties. The majority of these early emigrants were either of the Lutheran or Reformed faiths, many leaving their homeland during and shortly after the 30-Years' War. As these Germans of the Reformed faith came into this area the number of pastors to serve them was meager, often there was just a "leser" or lay reader who read prepared sermons for those in attendance. The need was there for churches to be organized and regular circuit pastors to officiate. At first the Reformed congregations were supplied through the Synod at Amsterdam, Holland and were referred to as "Dutch" Reformed. As the population grew it was necessary for a more "local" administration of the churches, so the headquarters for at least Pennsylvania was formed in Philadelphia. When the Synod operated out of Philadelphia it was called the "German" Reformed church. For many years you will find the same church referred to as either "Dutch" or "German" Reformed - or even "Calvanist" since they followed the teachings of the reformer, John Calvin. Hope this helps a bit, even though it is Pennsylvania! -Linnea Travis Miller Annville PA

History of Orange County by Eager pg.258 Town of Montgomery These individuals were from Germany , and, on arriving in the country, came to this town. In the history of the German Reformed Church of this town, it will be found that Johannes Youngblood,(then spelled Jong Bloet,) was the first Elder and Jacob Bookstaver,(then spelled Booch Staber) the first deacon. This church was built and congregation formed as early as 1732. Some of the land then purchased by these individuals is still in the ownership of their descendents, of whom Mr. Bookstaver, the gentalman above mentioned, is one in the third degree from his ancestor, Jacob Bookstaver. some of the descendents of these early settlers are now of the fifth generation.( this book published in 1847) pg. 309 Town of Montgomery German Reformed Church This was composed orginally of German emigrants, and organized in about 1732, through the agency of William Mancius of Esopus, Ulster County. From its organization till about 1772, it was served by supplies, who came two or three times during the year, preached, baptized and administered the sacrament of the Lords supper. In 1772 the Rev. John Michael Keam came and remained until 1778. when he was obliged to resign his charge, on account of difficulties growing out of his politcal opinions. Montgomery was true WIG. From 1778 to 1784 the Rev. Rynier Van Nest, the minister of the Reformed Dutch Church in Shawangunk, offciated a part of the time in this church. hope this helps yours in Genealogy Joanne ----- Original Message ----- From: <PowellChristian@cs.com> To: <NYORANGE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 6:23 PM Subject: Montgomery Dutch Reformed Church > Hello, > I would like to know whether the Montgomery Dutch Reformed Church is > in Orange County or Ulster County. > > God Bless You, > > Ron Powell > powellchristian@cs.com > >

There is a Crawford in Ulster Co. today and also one in Orange Co. just NW of Montgomery. The one in Orange used to be in Ulster before part of Ulster was made Orange in 1799. Your ancestor did indeed die in Orange co.

The Montgomery Dutch Reformed Church (AKA the Brick Church) is in Montgomery, Orange Co., NY. Before 1794 it was in Ulster Co, but the church never moved! Go figure.

There can be confusion on location of Montgomery and Crawford, New York. The Montgomery area was in Ulster County until about 1796 when it was placed in Orange. Before that the area might have been in Shawangunk, then Wallkill Precinct -1743, Wallkill was divided in 1772 into Wallkill and Hanover. In Hanover precinct until 1782 when it was renamed Montgomery. In 1823 the town of Crawford was taken from Montgomery, both are in Orange County now. The Reformed Church in Montgomery was originally German Reformed, but being served generally by ministers from the Dutch Reformed Church in Kingston became identified as Dutch Reformed. Ralph Weller

I believe there was. The Holland Society Yearbook for 1912 shows a list of early Protestant churches. It shows German Reformed churches in Germantown, Columbia Co., and Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co. There was also a French Reformed Church in New Rochelle, Westchester Co. It is my impression that all these Reformed Churches (along with the Presbyterian) were similar in that they all were influenced by the teachings of Jean Calvin. Regards, Howard hswain@ix.netcom.com
