There is no "Pittsdown" in Rensselaer County, only Pittstown. Below is from the Haskins Family Genealogy Forum: Hello, I am searching for information about the family of Enoch Haskins Sr., whose son, Enoch Haskins Jr., fought in the Revolution as a private in the company commanded by Captain Gillett in the Massachusetts line. I have a copy of his pension application submitted in Troy, NY, on August 7, 1832. Enoch was residing in Pittstown at that time. He had marched to Yorktown and participated in that famous battle. Shortly thereafter he was afflicted with small pox. Among those testifying for his pension were his brother Azariah Haskins, Joseph Wadsworth, Wilbur Sherman, Jonathan Brown, Enoch Haskins Sr., and General Gilbert Eddy, all of Pittstown. The application states that Enoch Jr. was born in Norwich, Connecticut, in 1765, that he was not yet 2 years old when the family relocated to Lenox, Berkshire County, MA, that they resided in neighboring Pittsfield, MA, until Enoch was 21, that he then lived five or six years in Bridgeport, VT, and that he then settled in Pittstown, Rensselaer County, NY. I believe that my ancestor, Mehitable Haskins,of Pittstown, NY, probably was the sister of Enoch Jr. Enoch Sr.'s mother was named Mehitable Badger, and he may have passed on the rather unusual first name to his daughter. Mehitable Haskins married Michael S. Vandercook, and her daughter Polly Vandercook married Orestes Badger, probably a cousin. Hope to hear from some of you!

Judy, I just read your note and was interested in Jonathan Brown. That was the name of my gggrandfather. He lived in Berlin and his son James married a girl from Stephentown. Do you have any other info on Jonathan?
