I am hoping to find other people researching the MINARD family from Ulster County. I descend from James and Abigail (Camp) Minard who lived their final years in Ulster County. They were married in 1771 in MIlford, Connecticut. Camp Family Association as well as the Milford records show that she was from Milford and he was from the New London, Connecticut area. I have information on Abigail's family but none on the parents of James. A genealogy I have on one of their sons, Isaac, states that he was born in 1774 in Vermont. Some other information I have from Quaker records states that a son William was born in 1784 in Massachusetts. I descend through their son Samuel who was born in Ulster County and moved to Canada in 1813. I believe several of his siblings also moved to Canada. I know they had at least 15 children and some information states 17. They finally settled in Ulster County and were members of the Marlborough Meeting of the Society of Friends. I have been told that there are still MINARDS in Ulster County. The 1790 census records shows only eight Minards total. One was in Vermont - Henry. Seven were in New York State - James Jr., Jonathan, Nathaniel, Phillip, and Timothy were in Ulster County; John was in Columbia County and Michael was in Westchester County. Is anyone out there a descendent of James Jr. Jonathan, Nathaniel, Phillip or Timothy MINARD and/or have information about them? Rita McNeely Port Huron, Michigan

Hi, Taking a cue from Ginny Byron <g>, My copy of Baptismal & Marriage Records of the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, 1660-1809 ($21 from Barnes and Noble!) arrived yesterday. I'll do lookups as time permits. Indexed for baptisms are fathers, mothers, & witnesses. For marriages, husband & wife. The entries are by date.

Hi Everybody, The other day I listed two pages from the Mountain View Cemetery in Saugerties sent to me by the Ulster County Genealogical Society. I just found out that the information was compiled by D & A Klinkenberg. They have transcribed much more so the information for the cemetery is available if anyone is interested. Mrs. Klinkenberg is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously with my research in the area. Many thanks once again to Mrs. Klinkenberg. Best, Sue in TN

Dear List, My first posting: Looking for the parents of the following siblings and any information on Benjamin and Joseph's families. William CODDINGTON, d. 1826, Orange County, no children, w. Susanna Phebe CODDINGTON PARSHALL, b.28 March 1759, m. David Jefferson PARSHALL in Orange County, moved to Midddlefeild,Otsego County. Benjamin CODDINGTON, had a son William Joseph CODDINGTON, had a son William I recently saw Orange County Genealogical Society Newsletters and found small bits and pieces of Coddingtons over the years, some were in church records on a Joseph. I really did not get enough information to make any connections. Joseph may have lived in Delaware County. Thank you! Sheila

I am working on my RICKS/RIX/RICK roots and was looking at a LDS microfilm of Woodstock Dutch Ref. Church baptisms. One entry indicated that a mother (who was a Ricks) was a Lutheran. Does anyone know what Lutheran churches were in the Woodstock, NY area? (1790-1900) Thank you. Lee Blauvelt lblauvelt@cas.org Lockbourne, OH

Hi Everyone: I am new to this list. I am trying to locate any information on a Silvanus (Sylvanus)Shear. The only thing that I have so far that connects him to Uster Co is that a Sylvanus Shear was listed in roster of enlisted men in the Revolution.. He was in a militia unit from Ulster County, part of the 4th Regiment. I find Silvanus in Saratoga Co., NY in 1790 and Albany Co in 1800. I loose track of him until 1820 when they are in Lee, Oneida Co., NY where he stays until his death. So far I have 3 children, Lucretia, Issac and John. I know that there are at least 3 more, possibilites are Jacob and Jesse. They are the right age and living in small towns near Lee. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Debbie
