Shelley, Lisa, Elsie & Cynthia, All the dates I will show below have been taken from Hurley (records which I do not have), so they have not been independently verified by this researcher. Ten Eyck DeWitt, bpt 22 Apr 1792 at Kingston [Hoes B#9039], married 10 Mar 1814 [Hurley} Caty Newkirk, bpt 26 Dec 1793 at Kingston [Hoes B#9198], the daughter of Cornelius Newkirk & Sara Kierstede. Ten Eyck DeWitt died 22 Apr 1883 at Hurley, and was living with his son Abram Gaasbeek DeWitt (by 2nd wife Ann Chrispel) in the 1880 census for Hurley [District 2, Hurley, Ulster, New York Family History Library Film 1254939 NA Film Number T9-0939 Page Number 122A] Among other children, Ten Eyck DeWitt & Caty Newkirk had Matthew Pawling DeWitt (b 14 May 1819; d 10 May 1869) who married 7 Nov 1849 at Hurley to Blandina Elting (b 31 May 1826; d 2 Oct 1863).

DeWitt, Niece, age 13, b Jan 1887 1 Boarder, b Poland; Farm laborer I could not find Beatta Woolsey in the 1910 census, so it appears she may have remarried or had died by then. Therefore, I don't know what happened to the daughter, Mary C. DeWitt, b Jan 1887. Assuming we have identified this family group correctly, it would be daughter Mary C. DeWitt who wrote "My father" on the back of that photograph. Ten Eyck DeWitt is buried in the Hurley Cemetery (old portion), as published in Poucher's Old Gravestones of Ulster County (1930): 4. De Witt, Abraham Gasbeck, 1835-1918. 5. De Witt, Sarah Lounsbury, w. of Abraham 0., 1837-1918. 6. De Witt, Ann Crispell, w. of Ten Eyck, April 7,1796, Aug. 31, 1860. 7. De Witt, Martina Eltinge Newkirk, Mar. 7, 1819, Aug. 13, 1878. 8. Dc Witt, Ten Eyck, Mar. 28, 1792, April 22, 1883. In the Old Hurley Burying Ground are: 52. De Witt, Catharine Ten Eyck, w. of Garret, Oct. 27, 1765, April 3,1840. 53. De Witt, Caty Newkirk, w. of Ten Eyck, Nov. 24, 1793, Mar. 12, 1822. 57. De Witt, Garret, Aug. 8,1762, Feb. 5,1846. I suggest you contact the Ulster County Genealogical Society at Ulster County Genealogical Society PO Box 536 Hurley, New York 12443 to see if they can provide any further information on this family group.

Lisa, The picture Shelley speaks of below would no doubt have been taken long before 1880 if it is *your* Ten Eyck DeWitt, son of Garritt DeWitt and Catharine TenEyck. This Ten Eyck was bp. in the Kingston RDC 22 Apr 1792, Wit: Matheus Ten Eyk, Cornelia Wynkoop. Perhaps he named a son Ten Eyck? Aside, do you have a marriage record for your Ten Eyck and Catharine Newkirk? Regards, Cynthia Middaugh Zuber In a message dated 12/20/2007 4:51:59 AM Mountain Standard Time, estitt@hvc.rr.com writes: Shelley: What an exciting thing to find. I have a lot of DeWitts and TenEycks on my VanKeuren side, so I did a quick check. I have a TenEyck DeWitt who was the son of Garritt DeWitt and Catharine TenEyck, hence his first name. He in turn married Catharine Newkirk, and while I had not yet fleshed out this family, the names, time and location all fit, so I'm guessing this is the right family. I wouldn't presume to ask for the original, but would love to have a copy if you have the ability to scan it. I wish more of my old family pictures from the late 1800s actually had names on the back!

Hello, Shelley, I also would like to have a copy of this wonderful photo. While I don't have a direct connection as yet, I am researching the early Ulster county Van Aken family and may connect in the future. Also, both my husband and myself are photographing Ulster County graves for Find A Grave and it would be a great addition there. Thank you for the offer.

Author: mindfoggs2 Surnames: See body of this post Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.ulster/3727/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I've come across a commencement program for the graduating class of 1939 from KHS. I will transcribe the names as time permits. If there is someone you think may have been in this class, please be patient and wait to see the posts. With the family all gravitating back home for the Holidays, I won't be answering many genealogy related messages til after the New Year, so if you must make contact, wait til then when I will have time to answer. The program has the graduates listed alphabetically, so that is how the posts will go. 1939 Kingston High School 24th Annual Commencement Tuesday Evening 27 June 1939 Municipal Auditorium Clarence DUMM, Principal GRADUATES LAMBERT, Oscar E.
