Just talked to Dorothy Mitchell, 389 Sweetman Rd, Ballston Spa, NY 12020. 518-882-6426 She is M4 on the Surname Index Exchange. She has more on Banta and has done research for years on this family and some of the allied families. She gave me permission to give this out on the list even though it is published and sent to our members. Dottie said that the your Arie Banta b 1797 is the brother of her Peter that I sent in an earlier message. She said the earlier Arie came from NJ and I told her about all of the NJ records that we have at NYS Library and she is going to try and get down there so I can help her locate them. She knows that Hanna Banta and Benjamin Seabury were in Galway and has more information. Dottie does not have a computer so she cannot participate with us. She is very knowledgable on several of the allied families and the families around the Charlton area.
