Patrick: Sorry, I didn't realize I left the the man's name out. His name is Amos Nettleton, his brother Daniel I believe was already in Ontario by 1790 or perhaps in one of the northern counties of New York such as Washington. No confirmation of this. Tracking these guys through their way to Ontario has been a nightmare. Thanks for any assisstance anyone can give.

Dear List, I always like knowing the end of the story. So let me tell you what I found out about Amos Nettleton and his brother, Daniel Nettleton, with the help of two members of the Albany County e-mail list. (The two Albany County List members were Donna [no last name given] and Janet Haseley, Research Chair, Rensselaerville Historical Society). I had run the whole list of surnames enumerated in the September 18th, 1779 Minutes of the Commissioners for Conspiracies past the several of the county lists and received two responses pertaining to the other men, who had been the subject of the Minute from the Commissioners on Conspiracies along with Daniel Nettleton. These responses helped me hone in on Amos and Daniel Nettleton. Amos Nettleton lived in Dutchess County and served in the Second Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia during the Rev War. At some point Amos Nettleton removed from Dutchess County and settled in the Rensselaerwick District of Albany County prior to the 1790 U.S. Census being taken. Daniel Nettleton apparently had settled in the Half Moon District of Albany County. He had been there long enough and was prosperous enough to have been listed on both the March 2, 1779 and the October 23, 1779 Half Moon District Tax Lists for Albany County, NY. According to Tim Fenton, Daniel had applied for land in Canada by 1791. Coldham's "American Loyalist Claims" gave me the information on Joseph Knapp, one of other men from the Half Moon District, who had been hauled before the Commissioners for Conspiracies with Daniel Nettleton in 1779. Knapp had been driven from his farm in the Half Moon District of Albany County in 1781 for harboring 19 members of the British army. Coldham states that Knapp escaped to Canada with seven others. I suspect that there is the real possibility that Daniel Nettleton, of the Half Moon District of Albany County may well have been one of those seven. Admittedly there was nothing straight forward about this research, but all is well that ends well, no matter how circuitous the route. Sincerely, Leslie Potter Glen Mills, PA
