I am seeking information on Peter Markison b.1760 in Kingston NY. Peter married Catryntie Roosa b. 1762 in Kingston . I believe his son Martinus Markison, b.4 Mar 1794 and baptized 19 May 1794 at the Old Dutch Church is my GGGGrandfather Martin Margison who lived in Hunter NY in 1826. I have found other children of Peter in later reports using the “Americanized” name Margison ,Magerson, and Margeson so I believe Martin was his son also . Any help will be appreciated. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Dear "Dippy", I was able to find the marriage record for Peter and Tryntje and baptismal records for 6 children. On page 250 of Jean D. Worden's transcription of the records of the "Katsbaan and Saugerties Reformed Church, Ulster County, New York" we find that On 19 June 1785 Pieter Margerson from New York and Tryntje Roosa, residing in Ulster County, were married. In the baptismal records of his children Pieter's surname is variously spelled: Markison, Markeson, Markison, Marchason, Merdisin (probably a transcription error), and Meertzen. Here are the children along with the names of their baptismal sponsors: 1. Caty, bap. 1 Mar 1786 (Kingston #8488); John C. Brink and Catharina Homel 2. Benjamin, bap. 15 May 1789 (Kingston #8788); Benjamin Roosa and Catharina Reistle 3. Rachel, bap. 27 May 1791 (Kingston #8958); Georg Sparling and Sarah Meinerson 4. Maria, bap. in Woodstock (Kingston # 9483); Samuel Duboys and Maria Robertson 5. Martinus, born 19 Mar 1894; bap. 4 May 1794 (Katsbaan, p. 104); Martinus Roos, Rebecca Snyder 6. Elizabeth, born 17 Feb 1804; bap. 25 Mar 1804 (Katsbaan, p. 145); Jacob Keilroots and Hester Bogert Note that in your message to the list you reversed the dates of bith and baptism of your Martinus. Catarina Roosa was the daughter of Jacobus Rosa and Catharina Znyders. There was a marriage bond issued on 7 August 1756 to a John Margeson and Elizabeth Woortman. There are 40 volumes of these bonds kept in the Office of the Secretary of State of New York. This bond is recorded on page 270 of Volume I. What is the source of your statement that Pieter Markison was born in Kingston and born in 1760? Dorothy > >I am seeking information on Peter Markison b.1760 in Kingston NY.

Dear "Dippy", I found your Martin in volume II of the 1855 NY state census for Ulster County as published by the Ulster County Genealogical Society in 1997. He is living in the town of Bethel in Sullivan County, NY, in dwelling # 30 (page 511 of the published volume): Martin Marcheson 62 Carpenter born Ulster Co. Sarah 57 born Ulster Co. James 25 born Greene Co. Abraham 20 born Greene Co. Syrus 17 born Greene Co. Ryle 12 born Greene Co. The family said they had been living in Sullivan County for 7 years. In dwelling # 46 on the same page is the household of John Marcheson 39 born Greene Co. Eliz. 26 Lucy 7 Lewis 5 They had been residing in Sullivan County for 4 years. Armed with this information, I checked the federal census for 1850 and found Martin and family enumerated on 27 August 1850 in Bethel, Sullivan County, NY: Martin Morgenson (sic!) 57 Carpenter NY Sally 53 NY Margaret 23 NY James 22 Laborer NY Abraham 14 NY Cyrus 12 NY Riley 7 NY Charles Hardenburg 17 Laborer NY You now can add two more spelling documented spelling variants of the family name :-).
