The Westfalls, Cutrights (both ancestors of mine) and Hornbecks all were in Kingston, NY and its surrounds. The Hornbecks and my Kittle ancestors came from Holland. The book Warnaar Hornbeck Descendants by Mrs. Ralph H. Sayre and Duffy C. Hornbeck, Sr. has a lot on the Hornbecks and some on the other families. Barb -----Original Message----- From: J.
