Judy - Thanks for the leads. I believe the minister's name was Rogers, but have not been able to find it in my notes. I'll make a point of noting it when I next go back to the FHL to look at my films some more. I have written a query to the Presbyterian Archives in Philadelphia. They have acknowledged my query and tell me it'll be 4-6 weeks for an answer. For those who don't know, the URL for the Presbyterian Archives is http://www.history.pcusa.org/contact/ I found The Journal of the Reverend Silas Constant on HeritageQuest and found it quite interesting. It didn't give me the marriage date I'm seeking, apparently because Rev. Constant came upon the scene a year or two after my two subjects were supposed to have been married. However, it did confirm several marriage dates for the siblings of Elizabeth Dusenbury that are published in another source. Apparently they all lived in Peekskill or very close to it. So it confirmed what Perrine states regarding where Elizabeth was from; i.e., Peekskill, NY. The Elizabeth Wright that's found is a Wright by birth; she's not a Dusenbury. Also, I doubt that the Elizabeth Duzenbury that's listed in the Record of Baptisms, p. 387, is the one I'm looking for. My Elizabeth would have been a child ready for baptism ca. 1758, well before Rev. Constant. So, thanks again for the leads. I'll continue to look for my subjects in the area surrounding Peekskill and will report and breakthroughs.
