"The Century House: The oldest farm-house now standing on or near the King's Bridge road is that known as "the Century House. It is on the Harlem River bank, and belongs to the ancient Nagle family, original landholders of that part of the island with the Dykmans. Its date, marked on a stone inserted in the front wall, is, if we remember right, 1734. It is described by W.C. Smith in his article on the Roger Morris house- Magazine of American History volume 6, pg 103" (History of Westchester Co by Scharff- on microfilm- very long so I only read this one part) "The little building, now known as the Century House, the front of which the Kingsbridge road once passed, may now be found some distance to the eastward of its present line near Harlem Creek, and is used as a river-side hostelry. At the foot of a blind wood road, which winds through the valley that intersects Inwood Heights, is a very old wooden building, which local tradition dates back to the revolution called the Spring-house, from the clear stream of water which bubbles up from the foot of the hilll, under the shadow of which it is situation........." The Roger Morris House- pg 103, Magazine of American History vol 6 Now I need to find out the descendancy of Jan Nagle/Nagel, and see if Cornelius is related, because he is mentioned as the original person in the Westchester area in "The Waldron Family." But since my Cornelius was born in 1797, that will be a challenge. He married Catherine Ann Vansgoort Leggett in 1844, and they had two girls-Gertrude and Cornelia. I found him married on one census and the girls on the next one. To figure out who his parents are will be difficult. I looked at every Nagle/Nagel book in Salt Lake.He is usually listed as Nagle in the city directories, and only a few times spelled Nagel, but his obit uses Nagel. The marriage info used Nagle. All very interesting. "Ancient Nagle family" makes it sound very interesting- right?!

it was in the beginning when the Dutch took over the area- no towns yet, probably. The Robert Morris house was used by George Washington as headquarters.

If a professional genealogist doesn't know anything about history, then he becomes more of a technician, with very helpful technical skills- for sure. I sat in on several fm. history classes- one taught be a historian- it made a huge difference in my life, and the two classes were totally different in feeling. The first one started me on learning about one branch of my family tree and I love all of them, and feel like I know them personally, as I learned so much about them. I can't imagine not trying to link your family with history, either- it makes events so much more personal. The more you can learn about them, the closer you identify with them and develop a family sense. I was able to learn tons about them. The other class felt like a library science class.It was taught by the man who wrote Printed Sources, and I quit it. It probably is an important class, but it was too boring. I have a friend who switched from a family history major to a history major. It helps her more. But, really, I think that it is just semantics. Genealogy was used for a long time and then the term was just switched to family history.

Two have explained about genealogy and history. I have a degree in European and American history(No big deal only for reference).How do you separate a line of kings and queens from history and genealogy. What they have done or undone goes along with genealogy. Whoosh! No history-can't believe people not understanding this. Maybe they were never taught history in school and don't read history books.

Friends, To me, it's family history, not just genealogy. Genealogy would only record events. What about the ancestor who was such an alcholic that he became paralyzed? What about the successful ancestor who had some 20 land dealings in Stamford CT in the late 1700's and early 1800's, to then die as a destitute pauper in 1836. What about the ancestor who had a stroke and his widow toiled over his daily life? What about the ancestors in Poland with 9 children and all die but four. And three of those four immigrate into the USA in the 1870's. When the widow left behind dies, her remaining daughter was destitute and even the fee for the church funeral was waived by the Parish Priest. What about the stories about the Polish in Nebraska who built a lean-to to live in on the south side of a hill where the sun would strike it the most for heat? And the snakes, and tornadoes, etc. The loneliness of the Nebraska prairie made many a woman cry out for companionship. What about the Irish brogue that you would never find in B/M/D records. What about the Irish Potato famine in the 1850's? Many of these stories were verbally carried on down generation-to-generation and end up in Family Histories. Verbal stories are very much a part of the whole picture. Would you find these on a genealogy chart? To me, genealogy is only about the family tree. Family history is about the family tree PLUS all of the personal stories that accompany it.

I call myself a Historical Genealogist since I not only research the families but the time frame, history, social conditions, etc. to paint a well rounded picture of their lives. Historians will pooh pooh us as just genealogists and that the History is more important, but without people making the history there is no history to study. I have turned up such wonderful information (many news articles which I transcribe to this list) on the lives and times of people in Northern Westchester & Putnam that it brings them alive in my eyes and hopefully someday for my descendants.

In an effort to switch everyone's thinking away from Dutch ramblings, etc. for a blessed change, what are your thoughts on this: Do you call yourself a genealogist or a family historian? I have read that although one works on the genealogy of their family, they may call themselves family historians as they are recording more than just vital statistics, or does the word "genealogist" cover more than just that? One adoptee wrote: I have been restricted to the genealogy of my adoptive parents. When I get to my generation, I put 'adopted' by my name and by the names of my three adopted siblings, and my parent's branch of the tree stops there. Family history and genealogy are not and will never be one and the same. It's as simple as that. I'm anxious for your thoughts!

I am a distant Knapp descendant--literally and genealogically. I live in California, for the first part; and my lines hook up with Eunice Knapp b.1688, husband Thomas Hatfield. Their son, Captain Abraham Hatfield of White Plains, Westchester NY b.1720 White Plains m.[1] Lavinia Fowler and [2] Ann Fowler. Their son [Abraham and 2nd wife]; Captain Joseph Hatfield b. 1766, wife Abigail Fowler Their daughter [3rd child] Anne Hatfield b. 1794, husband Samuel John Tredwell (all above from Westchester County, none from Phillipse Manor) Their daughter [4th child] Rebecca Tredwell, husband Amos W. Silkworth, Sr. Their son, Amos W. Silkworth, Jr. wife Sarah Ormerod Their daughter, Alice E. Silkworth, husband Jerome L. Grosbouer I am their daughter. I'm answering because I read of your reunion with great interest. I love the area, miss it terribly and it's a beautiful time of year. I would love to attend, but it's wishful thinking -- besides mine are not Rockland County Knapp's. It was simply nice to see this pop into my mailbox! How often does the family line have reunions and is there an association? Jan jgrellim@sbcglobal.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara de Mare" <barbarademare@yahoo.com> To: "Philomena M.
