I am researching descendants of Casper KIMBER and Femmetje WILLIAMSE from Minisink. Early Dutch Reformed Church records indicate four of their children were baptized in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY prior to settling in Orange County about 1739. Magdalena was baptized 1722, Johannus baptized 1727, Jacobus in 1728, and Elizabeth baptized 1730. Other children were George and Maria. I have gathered much information on many KIMBER family members and would like to establish lines of descent from Casper KIMBER. If anybody can help, please let me hear from you. Barb

Barbara, I don't have the surname among mine, but have encountered it in my southeastern NY research, as two variations: KIMBERG, and, more frequently, KIMBARK. Have you subscribed to the KIMBER-L maillist on Rootsweb? I just did, to see if such exists--it does! Just send an email with "Subscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line, and body of the message, and no other text, to KIMBER-L-request@rootsweb.com Perhaps a few other researchers there will have just the tidbit you seek. Good Luck, and Happy Hunting! Julie, endlessly sorting out dead Dutchmen....

I am searching for any descendents of Rev. Soldier Robert Blair and/or his son Barnard Blair. Rev. Soldier Robert Blair (m. Mary Osborn) had 9 children. As of his death and according to his will, dated March 1841......the following Blair children's names appeared : Barnard (b. 6/14/1795) - m. Sarah Edwards (b.12/21/1799 Fostertown, Newburgh); Daniel (m. Sarah Anthony), William residing in Onandaga Cty.; Walte r of Marlborough, Ulster Cty.; Mary (m. Samuel Lockwood); Margaret (m. Wm. Sheffield of Brooklyn; John residing in the Arkansas Territory and Robert who was in Tuscaloosa. Barnard Blair's daughter Mary, married Capt. John Bradley. (They are my g.g.g.grandparents) As far as I know that family lived in Fishkill and had 4 children: Emma Pauline Bradley (m. Andrew Fancher); Smith Bradley (m. cousin Annie Blair of New Hamburg, NY); Louisa (m. a Spenser) and Anne Elys...b.1861 m. Patrick Scanlon. John Bradley's brother, Capt. Ambrose Bradley, was a prominent citizen of Newburgh. He and wife Emmeline (Turner) lived at 98 Grand St., Newburgh, in the late 1800's. Also, in the Washington, DC DAR Library there is a small booklet in the family history section "The Bradley Family" by Romayne Bradley Spencer Wagner. Romayne lists a daughter Nancy Wagner b. Oct. 3, l918. If there is anyone out there related to this line, descendants of Ambrose Bradley, please contact me. Thank You. Janet Miller West Chester, PA.

Dear Orange County List-- While I don't live in that area any longer-- I can tell you that reading the recent Orange County roll call messages is like reading a page out of the current Orange County phone book! If you haven't already tried, you might have luck reaching other people still in Orange County that still have these surnames.
