Are you interested in Yeomans of Rockland Co? I am also looking for Babcooks and Strickands. I really need info on Caleb Strickland. I have his children, and possibly his wife was a Polly Or Mary Babcock. Caleb B abt 1784 married and had children early 1800's Rockland Co. Can you help on any of these ?? Thanks JOHN SIPKENS
