SWITZER, Cornelius; NY,USA; 1600-1655 Seek the family decendants of Cornelius Switzer who was killed in Nieu Amsterdam in 1655 by Indians on his Hudson River and 125th Street farm. He left a widow and at least 2 children who were baptised in the NYC Dutch Reformed Church in 1642, plus perhaps other decendants or relatives. At present it seems impossible to track the decendants into later years and children. It is known that numerous other Schweitzer/Switzer/Swisher families arrived in the years before the 1747 Henry of Albany Co. NY, and the various Switzer/Swisher's of Sussex Co. Knowlton Twp NJ about 1741-5. If these are connected in any provable way, it would be nice to know how. In any event, thank you for reading this far. John D. Sweitzer [email protected]
