Still need confirmation. In the 1850 census of Schoharie Co, NY in Summit is John Schermerhorn b.abt 1804, NY with wife Abigail b.1804, NY and children Esther A., Calvin L and Hiram. I cannot find him in the 1840 census, but there is a Peter SCHERMERHORN listed in Summit in the 1840 census. This one is not the Peter, father of John b.1804. This is Peter I SCHERMERHORN b.1786, who was married to Catherine LETTS b.1791. They did have a son John, but he was born in 1812. Would like more information on these families.
