In my quest to identify my 4th great grandmother, the unknown wife of Thomas Burgess (1744/5-1786) I have been doing a lot of deed research. I have deeds for several families in the area of Lattingtown/Lloyd, including Burgess, Miller, Potter, Ransom, Lester, and Carpenter. I think that the parcels lie north of Chapel Hill Road, abutting or near the home of Peleg Ransom. (On a map drawn in 1798). I am trying to map the old deeds using Deed Mapper, but that effort is tough given the property descriptions in some of the deeds (for instance, only the names of the adjoining landowners, which changed over time, of course). In the future I hope to be able to tour the properties owned by my ancestors and see the title reports. I am wondering if there is anyone in the Ulster county area who is really familiar with the history of that neighborhood and might be a guide for me. I am also interested in the Carpenter Burying Ground, which even Poucher could not transcribe due to the age and condition of the stones. I am going to Ulster county on a research trip soon, and I'd like to touch bases with someone who might be able to help me with this property "survey." There are so many knowledgeable people on the mailing list, and I hope you can suggest some names to me. Thanks, Stephanie Martineau Researching Adams, Airs/Ayers, Brewer/Brower, Burgess, Carpenter, Hull, Jones, Ketchum, Perkins, Ransom, Smith, Woodruff
