Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/10220 Surname: Dingee, Andre, Kniffin ------------------------- Hi Delores, To bad that the piece on Jacob Andre only mentioned his wife Deborah's father (since I am interested in her mother). Of the families you mention in Ulster, Enoch, Isaac, John H. were children of John & Betsy Kniffin. John was from Bedford Westchester Co. They are not closely related to the Dingees in the query. Lawrence is very distantly related. Lawrence grew up in Putnam Co. and his father Elijah was a loyalist who went to New Brunswick Canada. The family was one of the earliest settlers in Dutchess Co (1714) and originally came out of LI. The parents of the Tioga Dingee descendants came from Bedford to Putnam/Dutchess to Delaware Co. NY ??to Tioga Co. There was also a John T Dingee, b.1829 Delaware Co, a florist, in Waverly who is probably a first cousin of the Dingee descendants in the query. This was a far flung family.
