I'm looking for information on John Jacob and Adaline (DeGarmo) Downing. Adaline was a DeGarmo when her and John Jacob Downing married. That may have been her name prior to marrying John. In any event Adaline was born in 1830 and died in Rensselear County, NY on May 21, 1869 at the age of 29. Adaline is buried in the Hillside Cemetery located at Pittstown, NY. Does anyone have an idea how I would go about finding more information on Adaline? Would there have been death records kept in 1869 in Rensselear County? Thanks for any help. Bill DeGarmo
