Ellenville was named for Ellen Hornbeck. The Jonathan apple was traditionally named for Judge Jonathan Hasbrouck of Kingston who had charge of the Livingston lands in the town of Woodstock around 1800. Route 9W from the Palisades to Albany was once known as the "footpath to Albany" and was used by Indian runners who carried messages. "Skillipot" (from the Dutch, schildpod meaning turtle) was the popular name for a chain ferry running across Rondout Creek from 1854 to 1922. Schout meant sheriff and/or prosecuting attorney. In 1655 Tryntje Tyssen Bos, wife of the brewer Cornelis Sleght, was appointed by Gov. Stuyvesant as official midwife at the Esopus. The first real doctor in Ulster Co. of whom anything is known was Gysbert Van Imbroch. Gov. Stuyvesant induced him to move from Fort Orange (Albany) to Wiltwyck (Kingston) about 1662. He died in 1665. An indoor game was called tick-tack, a kind of backgammon. Game boards were listed in Wiltwyck inventories as early as 1665. A mastodon was discovered in a pond in Ellenville near Church St. In 1664 the population of Ulster Co. was about 200. In 1700, it was 2005. In 1723, there were 2923 of whom 2357 were whites, 566 were Afro-American "and other slaves". The average of black slaves to whites was high during all the Colonial period, sometimes over 25%. Slavery did not vanish until July 4, 1827. The first colonists were led by two Englishmen, Chambers and Davis. Then came the French Huguenots, DuBois, Blanchan, Crispell, Deyo, Frere, Hasbrouck, LeFevre, Bevier and Ean. Then the LeRoys from French Canada. Prominent names from Scotland were the Cockburns, Auchmoodys, McLeans, Humes, McDonalds and Mc Mullens. From Switzerland came Wurts and Goetchius, Cart and Burgevin. Norway gave us the Bruyns, and Sweden contributed the Hoffmans. Emigrants from Northern Ireland settled in Walkill and Shawangunk from about 1720. >From "Southeastern New York" published 1946.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone was researching Newell's...in Greene and Ulster counties mainly. I am looking for info on Harriet Ann Newell who married William P. Grant on July 14, 1860 in Shokan, Ulster, NY. Harriet was born in Westkill, Greene county on April 13, 1844. She died Dec. 29, 1927. Thanks everyone! Michele Lockwood

-- [ From: Richard Frisbie * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- List menbers: I received another message from the woman who supplies copies of burial records based on the list she graciously gave me, and which I maintain on my website: http://www.hopefarm.com/olddutch.htm People are calling when she isn't there and expecting her to call them back. That is too much expense for the church to bear. She asks that - if you must call - call Tuesday afternoons between 1-3 PM Eastern time. That is when you will most likely get her. If you do not reach her, but you must speak to her - Please call back another day. As usual - all written inquiries accompanied by an SASE will be answered. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

I was interested in gathering any information on my ggg Grandparents Carl Wilhelm Hunce Schulze (b.? - d. August 7th, 1872) and Elizabeth Bevier (b. April 20, 1796 - d. March 16th, 1870) I assume Elizabeth and Charles both died in Ulster County NY. Elizabeth's parents were Simon Bevier (b.March 27th, 1756 in Ulster Co. - d.March 24th, 1835 in Ulster Co.) Simon was the son of Johannes Bevier (b. January 16, 1722/23 in Ulster Co. - d. June 01, 1797 in Wawarsing, Ulster Co. NY). Any info on the bevier or Schulze family will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi everyone...well today I go to the post office to send the UCGS my family history and whast agreat feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to to this in Aug. but decided to wait for 2 death certs first and guess what? I broke a 5year brickwall and can pull the Lockwood line back to 1700's in Ulster county!!! The best part is that now the lineage ties in with the book..The descendants of Robert Lockwood....the book itself contains errors and I did not include info from that book on the work I sent to UCGS. What a great feeling to share 5 years worth of research!!!!!!!!! Of course I still have things in there I need to research but I hope this will help others researching Lockwoods! I highly recommend sharing some of your work with a genealogical society..its a great feeling! :-) Michele Lockwood

Are there any books on Lutheran church marriage and baptism records for New Nederland between 1630 and 1650? If so, who authored those books? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

My server or I lost all my mail from Sat eve (9-18) through Sun nite (9-19). If anyone had sent me the discovery of my genealogical career, would you please resend. Thanx. -- Allen Russell -- paleface@zianet.com

Hi..I think the parents to my Abraham is solved..he is the son of Jesse Lockwood (Sept. 6, 1788- Sept 9, 1865) and Mary Polly Dudley who died June 13, 1850. Jesse's parents were Gilbert Lockwood and Phebe Hall Lockwood. Now Jesse and Mary died in Ulster county Ny but I feel Gilbert and Phebe were possibly in CT at this time..also Gilbert and Phebe had these children: Jesse Robert Johnathon Robert Samuel Gilbert Gilberts father may be Henry Lockwood who went to Broome County NY..any other researchers of this line out there?? Thanks much!!! I have more recent info to share. Oh other Lockwoods: Abrahams siblings: Valentine, William W. (sept 5, 1819- Dec 22, 1889) Married Rebecca Ladew (Aug 10, 1820-March 28, 1885) She is the daughetr of A.d Ladew (I believe Col. Abram Ladue) They had : Mary Elizabeth (Oct 1, 1843- July 1, 1886), Oliver born circa 1845, Arthur born circa 1849 and an Abram Ladew Lockwood John James Susan Jeantte or Janet (1824-1912) Maria w. died Feb 2, 1863 Thanks again!!

Roberta wrote: "Robert Dixon was a manager at the Newark-Rosendale Cement Co." Unfortunately, I have nothing about the surnames, but I do have a page from an old town gazeteer, which states: "Whiteport...is about four miles north from Rosendale, and about the same distance southwest of Rondout. It contains the Newark & Rosendale Lime and Cement Works and a population of about 1,500, including what is known as Hickory Bush. The village has been built up almost wholly by the Cement Work...They employ about 180 men..." Rosendale itself was formed from Marbletown, New Paltz, and Hurley on 26 Apr 1844. It had a Catholic church from early times, but my folks in Whiteport were part of the German-speaking congregation in Rondout (an old part of Kingston). The Irish attended St. Mary's, which I also believe is in Rondout, if not, then in southern Kingston. St. Mary's does respond to requests for info about the parish and cemetery records. I hope this is informative. Sharon Carberry

Thanks Sherry Yes that does help My Dixons were members of St Mary`s and are buried in St Marys Cemetary My Grandfather was actually born in Hickory Bush Can you tell me if St Marys has a web address.? Does anyone know what happened to the Cement Works? As I live in St Petersburg Fla I do not get up that way too often and would appreciate any thing any one can give me rosebud--<--<-@
