Thank you for your response Joseph Slarrow is buried in the Revolutionary Cemetery in Salem, Washington Co.,NY 1784 and is the brother of Jane Slarrow. Jane is Samuel Clarks mother. Samuel and his wife Sarah McClung lived in the Cambridge Tax District before relocating to Cayuga Co. Samuel had brothers and sisters who were born with him in Holden,MA.and I have been searching for them. Samuel's parents were also found in Cayuga Co.,NY with a David Slarrow,Jane's brother. I'm sorry this rambles and is confusing. Robert Clark IN. -----Original Message----- From: nywashin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nywashin-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Leslie B.

(Please see: 1779 Cambridge District, Albany County, NY Tax List Transcribed by Leslie B. Potter 2/17/04 and posted on the Washington County Gen Web site New York State Library call number: KT 13324 GY Lansing Papers Box 1 file 2 New York State Library at Albany, NY) I did not find anyone named Slarrow on the 1779 Cambridge District Tax List. Perhaps Joseph Slarrow lived in one of the adjoining Albany County Tax Districts or across the line in Charlotte County. I have never looked for tax records for Charlotte County, so I do not know if any are still in existence. The Clark referred to in the e-mail, which you cited, was the Rev. Thomas Clark, MD, who brought his congregation from Ireland to settle in what later became Salem, Washington County, NY. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYWASHIN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

The area that became known as Salem, Washington County, NY was part of Charlotte County, NY. Charlotte County was created out of Albany County in 1772. Charlotte County did not include either the eastern half of the Saratoga Tax District or the Cambridge Tax District, both of which remained part of Albany County until February 7, 1791. On February 7, 1791, the aforementioned Albany County Tax Districts were added to Washington County and Saratoga and Rensselaer Counties were created. Charlotte County and Washington County did not cover the exact same geographical area. As I said earlier, I do not have any real estate tax records for Charlotte County, but I do have records for a fair number of the Albany County Tax Districts. In "New York in the Revolution as Colony and State" by James A. Roberts, Comptroller of the State of New York, a man by the name of Samuel Slarrow is listed has having received Bounty Land Rights in payment for his military service in the Charlotte County Militia during the Rev. War. (please see Volume I page 239) Samuel Slarrow is the only man with that surname listed in "New York in the Revolultion as Colony and State".
