Does anyone have any information about my Bakers? Justus Baker was born about l754. He served in the Revolutionary War out of Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY. He married Mercy (Marcy, Mary?) Brown in Fishkill in l780. They had 6 children, Jacob b l784; Archelaus b l786; Peggy (Langton); Sarah (Scott) Clarissa (Charles Upright); and Catherine (Crawford). The family moved to Burlingham, Town of Mamakating, Sullivan Co. l790 - at that time Ulster Co. Archelaus Died in l838, and Justus in l839. I would like proof that Archelaus (Archibald) was the son of Justus, and any further information about the Baker and Brown families. Thanks in advance, Pat Tenney <pjtenney@azstarnet.com>

I believe you are looking for info on Anneke Jans - who is connected to the Bogardus (and variant spellings) lines. The Holland Society of New York in their publication "De Halve Maen" have had articles on the topic - and the lawsuits spawned by it. The Holland Sociaty of New York 122 East 58th St. New York, NY 10022-1939 Info on Princeton can of course be obtained from the Firestone Library, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ - I don't have the zip code handy.

I am hoping someone near New York City may recognize if there is a bit of truth in this story I obtained and condensed from a letter written in 1968 from a far off cousin. Her grandmother was Eliza Annette Wells Pollock. "She came from Connecticut and was a relative of the great Puritan divine, Jonathan Edwards. She was a descendent of an early Dutch settler in what is now New York City, Annica Jan by name, who settled on property now occupied by Trinity Church presently valued at $25 million. This property cannot be sold because there are so many descendents who claim an interest." Somewhere else she claims that this grandmother is related to the first president of Princeton University. Can someone tell me about Jonathan Edwards, Annica Jan, the Trinity Church property problems, or who was the first president of Princeton? It might have helped me if that cousin had told me the maiden name of Eliza's mother, Charity, who married Anson Wells. Thanks for any help. Margie Bridges margiebr@aol.com

I would be very grateful if anyone could look up an obituary or death notice for information on my great grandfather, Philetus Johnson, who died in Kingston June 9, 1903. Thank you for any help. Juanita in Sarasota, FL

I am looking for information for Mary Elizabeth ENDERLY, who was born sometime after 1850. She married John Dunning. I believe that her parents were John Enderly and Elizabeth Potter, and that one, or possibly both, were Native American. Mary had a brother William (Willie) who listed his place of birth as Ulster County. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a professional genealogist, and have no access to censuses, city directories, etc. I live in Wallingford, CT, not NYC and do not have access to any of the resources in the City. 2. The lists and articles I post are from copies that I make at our local public library. We have the NY Times on film, NO OTHER NY NEWSPAPERS are in our library. 3. The lists are of death notices, not obituaries, in the Times. Occaisonally, there will be an obituary on my list and I will make a notation that indicates it is an obituary. However, about 99% of the names on my lists from death notices which have very limited information. The average person might have a paid death notice in the NY Times, but probably a "small" death notice which reads like "JONES, William, 100 Main St, Jan 1, 1915. Funeral tomorrow 9 a.m." If you are trying to find an obituary, I would suggest you try a local paper. 4. I am most familiar with the Bronx and don't know anything about Brooklyn, Staten Island, Long Island or Queens. My knowledge of Westchester County is also somewhat limited, mostly to Yonkers.

The basement was occupied by Geo. W. JACOBS, furniture-polish manufacturer, in whose premises the flames originated. The first floor i= s occupied as a bar-room and restaurant by E. SCHOLICH, whose loss is estimated at $3000. The second-floor is occupied by E.P. COOLEY, broom manufacturer [and the] third-floor is occupied by a man named KINNELLEY, picture-frame maker. The building is owned by Wm. SCHROEDER. A Female Drunkard Suffocated At 12:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a fire occurred in the attic of the two story and attic building, No. 231 Church-street. It appears that Kat= e DEVERE, aged 34 and a native of Ireland, lived in the attic with another white woman named Fanny HARRIS, where they cohabitated with two colored men, named David HARRIS and Wm. BLOOD. These women were seen in the stre= et about an hour before the alarm of fire, in a grossly intoxicated conditio= n. When Charles ALLEN arrived on the scene he found the women lying on the floor near the stove in a helpless condition and he at once dragged Fanny into the open air. Kate was not extricated until death from suffocation had ensued. Cruelty by a Police Sergeant At 10 o'clock on Friday night Officer JACOBUS, of the Fifth Ward Police, found Dr. Augustus DIECK, of No. 219 West SEventeenth-street in West Broadway in an intoxicated condition. He took his prisoner to the Leonard-street Police Station, where Sergt. CHRISTIE was in charge. Although the intoxicated physician had his left leg broken just above the ankle, the Sergeant oredered him to be locked up in a cell, and the unfortunate gentleman was tehn compelled to remain in torture in a cell f= or over eight hours. Justice HOGAN called up Officer JACOBUS, reprimanded h= im for such cruelty and ordered him to take Dr. DIECK in a carriage to his home for medical treatment. Of the many cruel acts by officers of the Police, this is surely one of the most outrageous. Larceny of a Horse and Sleigh Last evening, Officer HUDSON, of the Eighth Precinct, found a horse and sleight in the street, and as he could not find the owner, he took the property to the Prince street Police station. While he left the equipage in the front of the door for the purpose of reporting the matter, one George W. SHERMAN jumped into the sleigh and drove off.

She was married to James Mance in l842, lived in the Town of Wawarsing, Ulster Co., and died in l882. Joseph Wright lived in Fair Oaks, Town of Walkill, Orange Co. from l827 to l839. His wife's name was Thankful, born about l804. They had four children there, I only know of three: James J., born l827 Milton W., born l834 and Eliza, born about l836. The family moved to Cragsmoor, Town of Wawarsing, Ulster Co. in l839. I haven't found Joseph after the l850 Census, but Sarah Mance's obituary said he was still living in l882. I would appreciate any information about Joseph and Thankful. Thanks in advance, Pat Tenney <pjtenney@azstarnet.com>

My mother was born and raised in Cragsmoor, Town of Wawarsing, Ulster Co.,NY. I recently ordered a book for her which I think would be of interest to some: "The Huckleberry Pickers, A Raucuos History of the Shawangunk Mountains" by Marc B. Fried. Some of the families mentioned in the book were: Quick, Addis, Conklin, Crose, Seibert, Ross, Decker, Rose and Countryman. There are some genealogy charts for some families dating from l862 to l962 or l866-l982. You can order the book from: Black Dome Press Corp., RR l, Box 422, Hensonville, NY l2439 By phone: l-800-5l3-90l3 MHONLINE.net/~BLACK Price $l7.45 Hope this helps someone.

Hello all, Is there still a Dutch Reformed Church in Warwick, NY? Where would their church records from the 1800's be kept? I have seen a LDS microfilm of marriages and baptisms during the 1800's at the Dutch Reformed Church in Warwick. There were no deaths recorded on those church records. Was there a cemetery connected with that church that might have burial records the first half of the 1800's? I have an abstract of Susanna Roe's will made in Orange Co. in Jan. 1826, and proved Feb. 1, 1828, which mentions her son Timothy Roe and her daughter, Bersheba Allison, wife of Samuel Allison. The above-mentioned LDS microfilm of the marriage records of the Dutch Reformed Church in Warwick gives Bersheba's name as Bathsheba Rowe, married to Samuel Ellison 10 March 1821. I want to find out when and where Bathsheba/Bersheba died and where she is buried. Samuel Allison and their four children were listed in the 1850 census in Licking Co., OH, but no wife is listed. I know that several Allisons migrated from Orange Co., NY to Licking Co., OH in 1841. I have found Samuel's gravestone in Licking Co., but Bathsheba isn't buried next to him. I would like to find out if she died in NY prior to her family's move to OH. Thanks for any assistance anyone may be able to give me. Mary Allison Yonan <yonan@fgi.net>

Barbara, Did you look up these film #'s on the LDS Library Catalog CD ? Once you pull up the info on the film #, it should tell you what info appears on each of the films. If you're unfamiliar with this procedure, one of the volunteers will help you with it. Bobbi -----Original Message----- From: Barbra T.

I indexed S.C. Cleveland's History and Directory of Yates Co., New York published in 1873, and three of the following biographical sketches are from that history, and the last one from another Yates Co. history just happens to appear on the same photocopied page as the one for one of my relatives, so I copied it for you here. From the earlier message posted by Marilyn & John <soper@ulster.net> there is an entry for "147. Cornelius bp. 174? mar. 1769 Lena Hileker d. Copake 1813," and perhaps he was the father of the Jacob Conklin listed below, since Jacob came from Copake to Yates County, NY in 1828, and Jacob named his firstborn son, Cornelius, but more work would have to be done to establish this, perhaps through the rent rolls for Livingston Manor, since the piece in Cleveland's History indicated the family of Jacob Conklin had lived on that land for a 100 years prior to their removal to Yates Co. I did not find a record of an Isaac who married Catharine Van Duser in the previously posted records, but there were a couple of birth records for men named Isaac Conklin born in the 1770s who may have been the father of Gamaliel D., Samuel, Shadrach, Henry and Julia, natives of Orange Co., NY. By the way, I have no Conklins in my ancestry, I'm just doing this out of a desire to help and a love of puzzles. What's below is all I have on the Conklins in Yates Co., NY. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Excerpt from HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF YATES COUNTY, NEW YORK by Stafford C. Cleveland published in 1873 in Penn Yan, New York, pages 491-95 in the chapter on the Town of JERUSALEM. JACOB CONKLIN. About twenty years later than John Race, came Jacob Conklin to the same locality, and Jacob was also a character. He and his wife Catharine Brazie were also reared under the life of the lease system of the Livingston Manor, of an ancestry moulded by generations inured to that condition of social existence. They were natives of the Copake Pond or Lake vicinity, and near the Livingston Manor seat. "Uncle Jake" was a favorite with his Manor Lord, receiving special favor and liberal bounties for obsequious compliance with his demands and attention to his wants. He made frequent visits to the Manor house with generous contributions of game and fish which his cunning craft had procured from the surrounding hills and mountains and the prolific waters of the Lake; and often accompanied the younger members of the family as guide and director in their hunting and fishing excursions. He was therefore quite a lion among the Copakes, and thus being in the good graces of both the landlord and tenantry, it seemed that he might be most content of all his associates, but such was not the fact. Like Norval in the play who had heard of wars, he had heard of the country of "the Lakes" and longed to breathe their free air and angle in their limpid waters, and own free from landlord's claim for rent the soil on which his domicile might stand and his children should sow and reap their daily bread. The title to their Copake home was fast running to its end in the uncertain lives of two old people just ready to step into the grave, and he and his good wife "Catarene" held frequent and deeply interesting consultations upon the subject of leaving their early and long cherished home and friends to seek their heart's desire in that "far distant west" among the Lakes of New York. Their first born son, "Cornalus," as the father always called him, had already accompanied some of their adventurous neighbors to that country, and sent back glowing reports of its rich soil, beautiful waters and game-stocked hillsides. They pondered well and long, and finally determined to cast their fortunes into the scale and try what emigration would do for them. Hence the homestead farm bordering the famed "Copake Pond," and within view of the rugged sides and tops of old "Tagconic," was offered for sale and brought the full sum of five hundred dollars for their right and title to one hundred acres of "Lease Land," with the improvements of a hundred years. This point reached and the crisis passed of selling and starting, they soon wended their way by the Erie canal and partly by wagon, with their family of eight children, to this country. Stopping for a short season on Ketchum's Point on the Keuka Lake, they soon purchased what was known as the "Father Townsend farm," on the Lake road, just two and a half miles south of Penn Yan, on lot 50, then pretty well cleared, with a double log house, orchard in bearing, with a narrow front of some fourteen rods on the Lake, and extending west to the next road, with a width to contain 114 acres, for the sum of one thousand dollars. This was 1828. Since, 25 acres has been sold and the balance is still in the family, and by will belongs to the oldest son of his son Peter, he being a namesake of the grandfather. Thus did he practice the odious system of entail, a part and parcel of the tenantry system that he so hated as to flee from at the sacrifice of early home and life long associates. And here did this old couple with their offspring plant themselves and long rejoice in their escape from the thraldom of lease land tenantry. Uncle Jacob was never suspected of having an undue attachment to the labors of the farm, and therefore contented himself to wear out the debt which he incurred in its purchase by the annual wages on hire, of his son Peter, while he and the younger members endeavored to feed and clothe the family from the products of the farm and what could be gleaned from his fishing and hunting recreations. His love for those sports clung to him through life, and nothing suited him better than to share them with his many friends. He therefore spent much time with his gun and skiff; and the old homestead shows to this day the influence of early and long established habits, descending from father to son, in its dilapidated and antiquated appearance, and it must await the promised energies and modernized views of his grandson when he shall come into possession to redeem it from the Van Winkleism of the tenantry system. Uncle Jacob was a man over six feet in his stockings, broad shouldered and rather bony than muscular in his build; his gait was that of a man never in a hurry, and in his hunting excursions he preferred to watch the runway rather than follow the track of the game. On the Lake he rejoiced in still fishing rather than trolling and well did he know the bedding places of the salmon trout and the white fish that so richly abound in the waters of the Keuka. Most heartily did he curse the splashing paddle-wheels of the first steamer that disturbed her placid bosom, for in that, to his prophetic mind was foreshadowed the dispersing of the best schools of his finny pets that he had long fed and bated in certain localities known only to himself, and from which he could promise with great certainty a splendid fry to his special friends on short notice. Penn Yan was a favorite resort and often during the week he could be found of an afternoon seated in a bar room or on the more cheery front steps of some social resort, surrounded by eager listeners as he recounted in his good-natured and rollicking style the adventures of the past, with his predictions of the future, in which would be lost as he verily believed and taught, much of the valuable knowledge of his day and generation. But Jacob Conklin's was not a murmuring spirit--far from it--for he and his good wife Catharine always seemed to think that their lives were cast in happy times and pleasant places, and that they were specially favored. They were therefore always thankful, and their anxieties for those who were to follow them were tinged rather with apprehension than envy. It was here that the mother died leaving eight children, Cornelius, Mary, Peter, John, Hannah, Elias, James and Helen. Uncle Jacob married a second wife, Hannah Anderson, widow of Beecher Anderson, of Jerusalem. She died some five years previous to his death, and he died in 1853, aged seventy-eight years, and with his wives lies buried in the cemetery at Penn Yan. Cornelius married Ann Bevins, at Copake, and preceded his father to this Country, stopping in Potter for a time but finally settling near his father in Jerusalem, where he died leaving six children, Isaac, James, Jacob, Catharine, Cornelia and John, most of whom reside out of the County. Catharine married Osborne Moore, and resides at Kinney's Corners, in Jerusalem. They have two children, Orman and Frederick. John married Jane Stevens, of Milo, and resides there. They have several children. Mary married John Benjamin, of Copake, N. Y., and settled for a time in this Country, but emigrated to Illinois with their family of nine [sic] children, Sally, Porter, George, Emily Catharine, Helen, Adelaide and Mary J. Peter married Lavina Shriner, of Penn Yan. They reside on and have a life interest in the homestead, and have eight children, Jacob, Henry, John, William, Charles, Catharine, Emma and Mary. Jacob, the eldest son, is sole heir by will to the homestead from the grandfather. John died single. Hannah married Jeremiah Conklin, and went to Flint, Michigan, where they now reside and have three children, Walter, Elias, and George H. Elias married Lydia Finger, of Penn Yan, and both are dead, leaving two children, James and Frank. James married Lydia Carr, of Jerusalem, and resides in Penn Yan. They have two sons, Charles O. and William H. Charles married Mary Mantel, of Milo, and resides there. They have one child. Helen married John Whitbeck, of Copake. He died in the hospital of the Federal army in Virginia, and she has since died leaving two children, Foster and Conklin. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Excerpt from HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF YATES COUNTY, NEW YORK by Stafford C.
