I have just joined this list as I've recently learned that a branch of the Dutch Williamson family lived in Otsego County, NY. I also understand that most of this Samuel Williamson family left Hartwick by 1836-38, with only a son, Calvin, staying behind. Calvin is believed to have married Sarah Maria Steere c. 1849 in Otesgo Co. Sarah's parents being James and Sally Wells (Lippitt) Where would the records be for the time period between 1780's and 1838?
