Christian was born in Schraalenburgh, NJ, but they both lived and died in Onondaga Co. NY. Their son was Samuel, who migrated to Wisconsin. Some families get very familiar with each other.

Hi Ruben, I saw it long before knew what it was by stopping at the parking place just north of Cold Springs. Cross the tracks listening very carefully for an oncoming train (they fly out of the tunnel on the south end of the lot). Go down by the water and look north. My niece took some great pictures of it there last winter--and managed not to fall in the river! The GSRC has some great programs scheduled for next year. Why don't you consider joining again? I will send you the program brochure and the New Member's Packet, both of which I did this spring.

Brown Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 7:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NYROCKLA] NYROCKLA Digest, Vol 2, Issue 65 The simplest way for the less adventuresome to see Bannerman's Castle to take the East Shore rail lines (Amtrak from NYC, Yonkers, Croton from the South) or Metro North from any number of Stations. Many trains per day passby going north or south. The site is about 3-4 miles below the I-84 bridge over the Hudson at Newburgh. A more interesting way according to a friend who did it is to canoe from near the I-84 bridge, but you should time your trip with the tides if you can.

During the Revolutionary War, patriots unsuccessfully tried >>> to stop the British from advancing north of the island by sinking 106 >>> upright logs tipped in iron points in the Hudson.

Acting on behalf of the Crown, a rival clan, the >>> Campbells, slaughtered all MacDonald males ages 12-70. One escaped to the >>> hills with the clan banner -- and from that day on, his family name was >>> Bannerman. >>> The Bannerman family immigrated to the United States in 1854, when Frank >>> was three, and settled in Brooklyn. At the close of the Civil War, the U.S. >>> government auctioned off military goods by the ton, mostly to be scrapped >>> for their metal. Young Frank was one of the first to realize that much of >>> what was being sold had a market value higher than scrap. Under his >>> guidance, Bannerman's became the world's largest buyer of surplus military >>> equipment. When they outgrew their store at 501 Broadway in NYC, they looked >>> around for a larger and safer location in which to store their ammunition. >>> Pollopel Island was selected. >>> Frank Bannerman personally designed the island's buildings, docks, >>> turrets, garden walls and moat in the style of old Scottish castles. Almost >>> all of it was done without professional help from architects, engineers and >>> contractors. And all of it was elaborately decorated, from biblical >>> quotations cast into all fireplace mantles, to a shield between the towers >>> with a coat of arms, and a wreath of thistle leaves and flowers.
