Hello Ulster County, The family of Abraham David Delamater/Dellamater and Enjeltje Elmendorf who started out in Hurley, Ulster County (1820), later to Harpersfield (1830) Delaware County, and then to Shandaken (1840), Ulster County had four sons. David Abraham Delameter of Ulster County, a Cornelius Delamater/Delameter (for whom I am looking), John Schoonmaker Delamarter of Drybrook, and Peter P. Rosa Dellamater who moved his family to Michigan. Notice that no middle initial or name is given for Cornelius. I am looking for information about a Cornelius A. Delameter who lived in Andes Twp., Delaware County, in the 1840 NY census. His wife's name may have been Elizabeth. He is listed as having one male age 5-10, one male age 10-15, 2 males age 15-20 and he was age 40-50. There was one female age 5-10, one female age 10-15, and his wife was age 50-60. Note the age difference in his age and his wife's age. In the 1856 Lee County, IA census there is a Cornelius listed as age 58 and Elizabeth is listed as age 68, both living in Iowa for 3 years, at the home of their son, Abraham Delameter who married Irene Bland. Abraham may have had a brother named Albridge Dellameter who married Louvina. Cemetery inscription for Blacksmith Cemetery, Franklin Twp. Section 11, Lee County, IA says he died June 21, 1862, age 55 years 6 months. Perhaps whoever read this old tombstone, which no longer exists, mistook 55 for 65 years, which would agree with the 1840 NY census and the 1856 Lee County, IA census. The name Albridge comes up in his descendants quite frequently. Were there any Albridges in Ulster County? Many thanks for any help that might be given, Phil DeLamarter ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
