I've been getting very informative information on my DeLong query so I'll try for a Taylor family who had a daughter Lydia born ca 1826 in NY. I don't know her parents names but she married Anthony DeLong. She named her daughters Louisa, Margaret, Rachael, Josephine and Jeannette. Her only son William Adolphus. As this was Anthony's second marriage (and he didn't name any of his sons after himself or his father Peter) I would tend to think her parents names are in here somewhere. Any help or advice appreciated. Peggy Large UE "I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead" thanks to Jimmy Buffett!
