NY marriage certainly took place no later than 1771/1772 and perhaps as early as 1764/1765 (if she was his only wife) marriage is unquestionably proven by the Will of Joseph Coleman of Goshen Precinct, Orange Co. NY (Orange County Will Lib.B., pg. 210), which cites Hannah, wife of Henry Elsworth, as "my daughter" as a beneficiary. This Hannah Coleman b. 1739, was Joseph Coleman's eldest child. There is, (so to speak), a "fly in the ointment" which researchers need to be aware of. The LDS-IGI under New York - Elsworth, lists Henry Elsworth as marrying at Cornwall, Orange Co. NY, 11 July 1779 a Mary Salmon. No such record exists anywhere in Cornwall. But in the original Goshen Presbyterian Church records is found: 11 July 1779, Joseph Coleman married Mary Salmon. This was the second marriage of Joseph Coleman and the witness to the marriage was Henry Elsworth, his son-in-law. The Hannah Curtis/Henry Elsworth marriage has been perpetuated for years and published over and over. This is part of the problem that Elsworth researchers encounter when using German Ellsworth's book. I believe that the marriage of Henry Elsworth and Hannah Coleman is adequately proven by the Will of Joseph Coleman and the fact that Henry is witness to his father-in-law's second marriage. MJM
