August 4, 1998: George MacLean: gwamacl@netcom.ca A Mary Sidman, daughter of John and Rachel Sidman who apparently originated in Heidelberg, Germany, married a John Coburn on December 25, 1808. John Coburn was an Irish settler who lived in Nyak, Rockland County from 1805 until 1817. Any knowledge of the Sidman family? Where is Nyak? Thanks, George MacLean Ottawa, Canada
