Teri, I'm afraid you're going to be caught in a deluge! And I guess I'm part of it! Nearly every one of my ancestors came to America very early on, and most came to, and stayed in, either New York or New England. One was Archibald ROBERTSON (NYC). His wife Eliza ABRAMSE (NYC); her father, Jacob ABRAMSE (NYC) & wife Rachel (Walker) ABRAMSE (NYC). Antoine L/ESPENARD/LISPENARD (NYC); his wife, Abeltie (LaForge) LISPENARD (NYC); his wife, Elizabeth Huygens (deClein/de Klyne) Their sons and daughters: Magdalene, Anthony, John, Elizabeth, David, Abigail/Abeltie, Maria, Susannah, Leonard, Johannes. ELLATHAN MARSHALL, (Dutchess Co., NY); his wife Ruth (Harris) MARSHALL; her father Joseph HARRIS, DUTCHESS CO. Joseph's wife, Mary (White) HARRIS, parents of Mary WHITE, Abner & Ruth (Brownell) WHITE, all Dutchess Co.; Isaac BALDING/BALDWIN & wife Mary (Simmons) BALDING/BALDWIN. Joel & Elizabeth (Nash) HOSKINS; their dau Mary, wife of Thomas CLEVELAND Thomas HARRIS, (father of above Joseph Harris), Dutchess Co. Lewis BAKER, Greene Co., NY (& Unkn. wife?) Any LOSEE, MERRITT, prob. in Greene, Montgomery, or other county. I think I'd better stop you, before you start throwing things at me! Why not leave this request until the very last, and THEN, IF you have the time, energy, and inclination, look for a few of them. And if the time, energy and inclination are worn out by then, so be it! promise not to cry about it! Thanks a lot for the offer. Of course, I think you must be crazy, but I thank you anyway!
