Hi Leslie: Your absolutely right.  I believe my great grandfather's Amos and Daniel Nettleton were at some point located in Duchess County, New York after leaving Conn. Both men's children were born in New York, but not in Ren..... County.  Amos and Daniel were brothers. Thanks for the great information.  Now I have something to work with.

Let me add one additional thought to my answer to your question.  In my research into the civilian population of the Saratoga Tax District of Albany County, NY between 1764 and 1777, I have discovered that a number of the early settlers from Connecticut lived in Dutchess County before moving north to the Saratoga Tax District of Albany County.  So you might want to consider the possibility that your ancestor did not go directly from Connecticut to that section of Albany County which is now Rensselaer County, NY.  (Please note that the Saratoga Tax District was comprised of parts of present day *WASHINGTON*, *WARREN* and Saratoga Counties.)

Tim, Try this data out for size. Printed from Family Tree Maker, DC 132: Selected NY Revolutionary War Records, 1775-1840, Commissioners for Conspiracies, Volume I, Manuscript minutes - September 1779 (C) The Learning Company, Inc., July 5, 2008 At pate 416 " 1779, Sept. 18. Met Albany 18th September 1779 Present Jeremiah Van Renselaer, Isaac D. Fonda, and John M. Beekman Col. Schonhoven & Major Taylor proffered a Verbal Complaint to this Board against old John Conklin & *DANIEL NETTLETON *Daniel Frazer Jacob Wiltcee John Mud Conklin James Van Driesen Long John Conklin Tunis Van Camp John Nessley Barent Nessley Jonathan Lossing John todd Joseph Nap & John Coghlin. [I'll let the readers add the comas - LBP] Some of whom are prisoners of War that the[y] have the Greatest Reason to Believe they are in League with the Scouting parties of the enemy & that if some Remedy is not devised that the Whole Whig party of the Inhabitants will be Necessitated to Remove Numbers of them that have Exerted themselves in the present war are at present Compelld to procure private Guards to Secure their person & Property from the Violence of the Tories & other are th[r]ough Dread Obliged to betake themselves at Night to the Woods- Resolved that Col. Schonhoven and Major Taylor be informed that this Board will take the Same into Consideration & Afford them all the Assistance in their Power toward punishing the Said persons & endeavouring effectually to put it out of their Power to give them any Disturbances in the future -" James A. Roberts, Comptroller of the State of New York published a book entitled, *New York in the Revolution as Colony and State. *In Volume I of Roberts' book at page 137 - a man named *AMOS NETTLETON* is listed as serving as an enlisted man in the Second Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia. Unfortunately, Roberts did not give us dates of service for the militiamen. He just gave us the list of names of men, whom the State of New York paid for military service. Please be advised that I do not know enough about Dutchess County to tell you from which Dtuchess County tax district the Second Regiment was raised. However, county militia regiments were raised from specific municipal subdivision within each county. So the members of each regiment were neighbors in civilian life. (This geographic enlistment policy was not changed until after the Civil War.) I can tell form which tax district each of the 17 Albany County Militia Regiments were raised, but that is not going to help you, unfortunately. You might try posting a query with the Dutchess County e-mail list. Maybe some on there might be able to help you. The small amount of research that I have done in Dutchess County has left me with the impression that their land records are in "good shape" relatively speaking.
