Hi, I've been following the dialogue re the Second Kent Baptist Church (1118 North Horsepound Road, Carmel, NY) with interest and would like to ask if anyone knew why a letter I drafted to them last May was returned with the notation "No Mail Receptacle". My husband located the headstones of his Brewer/Barhite line in the adjacent cemetery and we were trying to obtain more info on Elizabeth (Brewer) Barhite. Is there any other address available, such as a post office box, to send further inquiries? Thanks for any help. Marg Coley

Fredericksburg, changed it's name to Franklin in 1795, to Paterson in 1808, and then to Patterson in 1850 (with two T's so it wouldn't be confused with Paterson, NJ). Also it was the southernmost part of Dutchess County (it was known as the Philipse Patent area), became Putnam County in 1850. Hope that helps a bit with your research.

Not yet. I haven't worked this problem for awhile and I used libraries here in Southern California and Ancestry. I'm not sure I looked at everything on Ancestry that might apply and am not on any paid services. Your suggestions are ones I need to explore. I lose the widow of Jonathan Squire, Mary Reeves Squire and kids until 1791 when she marries Caleb Hendee in Pittsford VT. She and the kids weren't on the census with him if I figured correctly. Her oldest step child, Jonathan Squire (from first marriage) was on the 1790 census. I guess he bought separate land? or.. He also named one of his children Bradley. As far as I can tell, the name doesn't show up in the Squire line until my third great grandfather. I've wondered about the significance of the name if any.

It burnt down when I was a toddler. The original Church was a beautiful tall-steepled structure as often depicted on Christmas cards. It is now known as the Second Kent Baptist Church and is located at 1118 North Horsepound (used to be Horsepond) Road, Carmel, NY 10512. The phone number is 845-225-1306. The Church is located in an area cornering: Kent, Carmel, Ludingtonviille, Fishkill, and Holmes and can sometimes be found documented with one of those addresses. Here is a website that shows a photo of the inside and outside of the current Church: http://www.dansouza.org/RevReport/Second Kent/second_kent.htm. The original cemetery adjoins the Church on the north side, while a newer cemetery is across the street again to the northern side of the Church. There is also a second Church in the area [CIRCA 1782]: The Kent & Fishkill Baptist Church, PO Box 207, Carmel, NY 10512. The phone number is: 845-225-4620. *When looking for anyting with a Kent address in Putnam County, note it was formerly part of Dutchess County until 1812.

This came on on one of my NY-Lists, but has a CA reference. Does anyone have a connection? It has been sent to the NJ-Monmouth, NJ-Essex rootsweb lists, also NY- Hudson, NY-Irish, lists. You may want to pass it on to other lists. The original sender said she knew nothing about this photo, but to reply to <cardiels@comcast.net> who had sent it to the Essex list.

The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Jessie likely about 4 years old at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has written "My Mother b. 1874, Newark, NJ, m. George Dawes VAN ARSDALE 1896" and "died Calif - 1946" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a MAYO Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding Jessie and her family: Jessie MAYO b. 2 May 1874 daughter of Benjamin MAYO married George Dawes VAN ARSDALE (b. 28 Apr 1874 in Newark, NJ) on 14 May 1898 and together they had a daughter, Elisabeth Virginia VANARSDALE b. 23 Mar 1909. Their daughter Elisabeth never married and died in San Jose, CA on 19 Oct 1996. Census information provides the following information: 1880 census of Newark, NJ: Benjamin MAYO, age 38, born England, a Silverware Manufacturer, parents born England Elizabeth MAYO, wife, age 36, born NJ, Keeping House, parents born NJ Frank F.

HYATT Bill, here are my notes on James D. Hyatt's death. Sorry that the obit is not complete. Louanne 1937, 27 Aug. Death date from Raymond Hill Cem. sexton records, p. 78. res. Kent, age 73. 1937, 27 Aug. Death. Undated obit, excerpts. JAMES D. HYATT DIES FOLLOWING A SHOCK. Life-long Resident of this Section Was Active in Business Life of Carmel Many Years. One of most active business men of this village, d. last Fri. night, 27 Aug. 1937, at his home at the Carmel Country Club, following a cerebral hemorrhage which came suddenly on Thurs. morning. Was in his 73rd yr., life of great activity, seemingly unfailing ambition was directed in many paths of endeavor. He was a son of the late Alvah and Catherine Brown Hyatt, born on a farm at Mahopac 4 Oct 1864. When a small boy the family moved to Carmel and his father purchased a large farm northeast of the village, now known as the Hill & Dale Club and erected a fine stone residence on the site now occupied by the Hill & Dale clubhouse. Worked on farm, became a clerk in the store of the late B. C. GaNun, and a few years later started a general trucking business for himself, yrs bef. the motor truck was invented. He had several teams of horses constantly at work and employed many men. He had the contract to truck milk from the farms to the Borden factory in Brewster for 18 years and carried a large number of cans daily. Annually for many winters he harvested ice from Lake Gleneida and other bodies of water for private family use as well as the larger storage houses from which ice was sold during the summer seasons. He served as superintendent of the Raymond Hill Cem. several yrs, as well as superintendent of the Calvary Summer Home at Gilead and Judge Kehoe's farm in Kent and during the early yrs of the 20th century was superintendent of the Arsenic Mines In Kent while active mining was in progress. When Benj. R. Kittredge started work on his extensive estate, now the Carmel Country Club, Mr. Hyatt became superintendent of the work 36 yrs ago and since then has been actively engaged in work on that extensive tract serving as superintendent for Mr. Kittredge until he sold the estate to the Carmel Club and Mr. Hyatt became gen. superintendent of the extensive work of the club, including the building of many miles of roads through the property, construction of the golf course and its maintenance since then as well as superintending the care necessary throughout each season of the many cottages and other recreational buildings at the club.
