I don't know if this will help or confuse. Cornelius VanDyke a NY Lieutenant Colonel in the Revolutionary War was granted 2700 acres on 9 July 1790 for military service. (No location given) Souce: Bockstruck, Lloyd DeWitt. REVOUTIONARY WAR BOUNTY LAND GRANTS AWARDED BY STATE GOVERNMENTS. Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc. Baltimore MD, 1996. Lib of Congress No 96-75099. Incidentally, my son is the third generation hitting his head on the brick wall of Nathaniel Waring, married to Elizabeth Lockwood. Our only date of birth (1732) is figured from his age and death date on their tombstone in Greenridge Cemetery, Saratoga. We can't find his parents in US or Eng. Any tidbits appreciated.
