Hello. I am following the list on the Secor relies. I have tried for years to find mine. Annie Secor b.abt 1781 who married Edward Waldron b. 15 July 1779 Haarlem,(NYC),NY d. Sept 1866. At West New Hempstead Church they married on 10 Feb.1803. I can find no record of her birth in Rockland County, so possibly she was born in Westchester or northern NJ. No info on place of birth for either. Some of their children were born in Haarlem,NY and others in Rockland County. They had a farm ,I think ,around Johnsontown. I would appreciate any info on the Secor family. I also have a James Johnson b 1764 Johnsontown,RC.NY,d.,.1835, marrying Hester or Phoebe Secor. Sally

I have not checked it all out. Ann and Anna Mary Rhinesmith was born Apr 11, 1832 in Macopin, NJ. She died May 28, 1919 in Tallman, Rockland Co, NY and was buried in the Tallman Cemetery on May 31, 1919, in Tallman, NY. She married Phillip C Thornton, son of Henry Thornton and Sarah Cooper on Mar 2, 1852 in West Milford, Passaic, NJ. Phillip was born Dec 20, 1826 in Jersey City. He died on Jun 25, 1912 in Tallman, Rockland Co, NY and is buried in the Tallman Cemetery also. She lists the following children. Julia Rhinesmith Thornton born Oct 16, 1852 and died after 1920. Phillip Henry Thornton born Dec 25, 1853 and died Jan 8, 1916 in Paterson, NJ. He is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Tallman.

Thornton born on May 31, 1869 and died on Aug 3, 1894 in S. Monsey. Buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Tallman, NY If I remember correctly, this is her line also. Looking at her information, Phillip Henry Thornton married Nunnellia Bean, daughter of Franklin Jay Bean and Amanda M Shelley on Nov 24, 1880 in Monsey, Rockland Co, NY. Nunnellia was born on Mar 15, 1858. She died about 1939. Maybe the Bean on the 1880 census is her brother?? What information are you looking for specifically? I have much more from her. What line are you following?

I wonder if he might be an inlaw, later married to Mary R...who had two daughters. For a period of time, I believe I found her living in Rockland about 1880, and her fmaily was from Bergen/Passaic. Haven't looked at her lines in awhile, thought I could find the correct Abram Post for her, as her husband. She would have been a widow by 1900 cenus, so........can anyone validate or refute ?
