    1. [NYROCKLA] Jonathan Youmans (1763) Clarkstown/Haverstraw
    2. Brian J Densmore
    3. I'm looking for information, sources, ideas in researching Jonathan Youmans who lived in Clarkstown, and was born in 1763 (although I've seen other dates) and is I am presuming the son of Jonathan Yeomans (1739-1773). JH Greener has Jonathan's son Jonathan marrying Mary Eskill and moving to Monmouth, NJ. Now I'm aware there was a Jonathan Youmans living in NJ around the same period, although, I've not been able to find him in the censuses. But I have Census records showing "a" Jonathan Youmans living in Haverstraw/Clarkstown from 1790 to at least 1840. He filed a RW Pension request which was denied, for him not having the right kind of service. I also currently have this Jonathan as my direct ancestor. Greener is known to use "guesses" on where to place people, and is documented, by Grant S. Youmans, to have screwed up the Youman's tree by putting some of Samuel Youmans' (of Westchester) siblings as Samuels' children in a lineage Greener wrote. I have information of a Jonathon Youmans marrying Elisabeth DeGrauw in 1786 at Clarkstown DRC (or at which time it was part of Tappan's records), although this list Hempstead as a residence and not Clarkstown or Haverstraw. I also have a later marriage for a widower Jonathan Youmans in 1808 to Mary (Margaretta) Fuischer, still in Hempstead. Only, there is no such head of household person in Hempstead in the 1790 or 1800 Census. The only Jonathan Youmans, in those years, is in Clarkstown. Any online newspapers, or other source, that would cover Clarkstown in the 1780s-1850? I'm not looking for books, but primary or secondary sources (newspapers, church transcriptions, wills, etc). I've exhausted, I think, the Dutchdoor site for this person. Unfortunately, I do not know what Grant Youmans sources were. Thanks for reading this post, Brian
