    3. I didn't even need the computer to have my work "lifted". Credit for what one does is a must -- in this area of work or any other. I've never quite gotten over the feeling I had when I discovered "a cousin" had not only lifted my research, but printed it with absolutely no mention of the work I'd done! You have my sympathy, but remember there are lots of us who believe in sharing and giving credit. Too bad the one dead fish makes the entire building stink!

    3. Cindy, Welcome to the club of those who have had their hard gained family history lifted by the world of computer genealogists. Many of whom have never been inside a county court house. Most of whom are not even aware of the enormous amount of misleading material they are lifting contains.

    1. WILCOXES in Minisink, NY
    2. Beth A Christianson
    3. Hello, Listers. On the Wilcox list recently there has been several messages regarding WILCOXES in the Minisink area of NY. Here's my two cents worth: From Portrait and Biographical Record of Orange County, NY, NY & Chicago, Chapman Publ. Co. 1895, page 1116: "Samuel H. Wilcox, architect, and formerly engaged in contracting and building, has planned and erected some of the finest buildings in Middletown. (i.e., NY) He was born in the town of Le Roy, Bradford County, Pa., June 14, 1828. his father, Samuel Wilcox, was born in the town of Minisink, as was in all probability his grandfather, Nathan Wilcox, who was engaged in farming in that town. Samuel Wilcox, the father, was a sawyer, and in early life located in Bradford County, Pa., where he died in the prime of life... He married Mary Moore, who was born near Goshen, and was a daughter of James Moore, who was also born at that place. She died in Pennsylvania, at the age of fifty years. Of their family of four boys and two girls, only three are now living. After the death of Samuel Wilcox, the mother married again, and by her second marriage had two sons." Samuel the son married into my Overton family of Orange County, NY. Can anyone add anymore to this, especially about Samuel the father and his father Nathan? Who was Nathan's wife? Does this help anybody? Beth C. St. Paul, MN

    1. Researching Robert Kerr of Warwick
    2. Terry Strasser
    3. Hello, listers: I've just started receiving this digest and would like to offer cordial greetings to all you Orange County researchers. Yesterday the mail brought me a welcome packet from the National Archives- the Revolutionary War pension papers of my 4th g-grandfather, Robert Kerr of Florida, town of Warwick, Orange County, NY. His deposition says that he enlisted in 1776 when he was thirteen years old! He enlisted in Warwick and his service was all in New York State. Initially he served in Captain Blain's company, Colonel Nichol's Regiment--the names check out, but as Orange County militia, not Connecticut Line as written on the pension folder cover. (Connecticut is nowhere mentioned in the affadavits.) He served five months and was at Kingsbridge when the British first occupied New York City. Two years later, he was enrolled in Capt. Colvin Shepherd's company of militia and served in the Minisink and other places on various occasions. I have two questions: Isn't thirteen very young for enlistment? (He didn't really know just how old he was.) I know that the age for militia duty later was 16. Also, has anybody ever seen this kind of discrepancy in the troop designation? Is there any way it could be right? Hoping for some light, Terry Strasser Albany, NY

    3. On my 1840 repro map of Orange County, the "ruins of the Sterling Furnace" are shown at the south end of Sterling Lake, a very beautiful lake that I was fortunate to spend time on many years ago. If you look at a map of Orange County, you will see that at the south end it comes to a point, virtually a right angle - on the east is Rockland County, NY and on the west is Passaic County, NJ. Greenwood Lake (I think it's about 15 miles long) is in both counties, and to the east of it is Sterling Lake, separated by "Rough Mountain". Mountain Mine and Cosswas Mine were on the east side of Sterling Lake. The Sterling Creek flows out of the lake, and to the south maybe two miles, not far from the Passaic County line, are the Sterling Works to which you refer. There were many iron works in the area in the past. I would think that the "main road" referred to is what is now called Sterling Lake Road. Talman, in "How Things Began" says: "The rush order to Sterling Iron Works in 1778, to forge a chain to keep the British from coming up the Hudson, is said to have probably leveled the equivalent of a small forest to furnish the charcoal required. The 180-ton chain was completed in six weeks.......So it is more than coincidental that soon after 1800 America suddenly realized its first-growth forest resources were practically gone." Sorry, but I've never heard of Caskechton.

    3. Middletown Daily Times Press 1916 Veterans Decorate Graves of their fallen comrades. Soldier Dead in Cemeteries Remembered in Memorial Exercise Sunday Sunday the graves of the following fallen braves, in Hillside and elsewhere throughout this section, were decorated with flags in recognition of the services they performed many years ago in the conflict for the preservation of the Union. A large number of the soldier dead rest in Hillside, and their names appear in connection herewith. In addition to these the various cemeteries and burial plots in nearby sections contain the following numbers; Wallkill Cemetery at Phillipsburgh, 100 Hamptonburgh, 6 ( one of the numbers being Capt. W.A.Jackson, for whom Jackson Post is named) Otisville, 25 Howells, 15 New Vernon, 8 Westtown, 8 Slate Hill, 4 Ridgebury, 15 Pine Hill, 6 Scotchtown, 15 Circleville, 15 Bullville, 8 Rock Hill,(Maples) 3 Bloomingburg, 16 While the G.A.R. veterans of this city decorated the graves in Hillside, the small flags were sent to the other sections and the people there attended to the decoration. Every year, as Memorial Day arrives, there is found an increase in the graves of the heroes, for the aged ones who suffered many privations during the war, and received wounds which have since caused them great affection are dropping off one by one and in a comparatively few years all will have answered the last roll call.
