Sketch writers canvassed the entire county—doing research, recording history, and conducting interviews—to make this text as thorough and as accurate as possible. The only residents not included, the Preface points out, are those who declined the chance and those who avoided the writers. Sketches are clear, full of information, and entertaining. They document not just the lives, occupations, and avocations of their subjects, but also the personalities and peculiarities. Family history is provided as well, along with direct quotes from friends and acquaintances, and portraits of many of the sketch subjects. Prominent family names include Brown, Carpenter, Clark, Coleman, Cuddeback, Howell, Mapes, Smith, Thompson, Tuthill, and Wood.

This first volume embraces what may be termed the foundation history of the town. It tells us of the pioneers who first settled Huntington, where they first established their homes; how they acquired title to their lands; the character of the Indian tribes they found there and the treaties they made with them. It tells us when and where the early settlers founded churches and schools; their long and bitter contests with rival communities to maintain the boundaries of their town; their methods of land division; their persistent hostility toward the Dutch government of New Netherlands, and their friendship with the New England colonies. In short, it affords a view of the social, political, religious and personal lives of our ancestors during this remote period of American history. This instructive and entertaining collection details extraordinary incidents and qualities of the \"fathers\" of eighteenth century New England. These men \"were remarkable for their piety and moral worth, and also for their active virtues.

Green outlines for us the first families who colonized New Amsterdam, the area located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, now referred to as New York City. She presents her argument that it was not the Dutch who were the first settlers on the Island of Manhattan; it was a group of Belgian-French Protestant refugees by the name of Walloon, under the leadership of Jesse De Forest. They were not part of a colony established and planned by the Dutch Government, but created for themselves their own community, and sought nothing more from the Dutch than transportation to the new land and permission to be left to establish their own community. They arrived at the mouth of the Hudson in 1624, and shortly thereafter the Walloon family formed the first permanent colony. This work is well researched and raises some interesting questions about the records kept during colonization.

Acting upon their belief in the importance of living out the teachings of Christianity, the Moravians became involved in various missionary enterprises, primarily concerning the Native Americans of the middle and northern states. This volume reprints a number of journals kept by Moravian missionaries describing their experiences with the Onondaga Indians and other tribes of the Five Nations inhabiting Central New York. \"Practically the Moravians did no Missionary work in this part of New York. They neither preached nor baptized....The whole work was one of preparation, a study of the language and habits of life.\" Indeed, the presence of the Moravians was so quiet and unobtrusive as to be nearly forgotten by the Onondagas by 1849. Their journals, however, serve as a fascinating cultural study examining tribal social structure, interaction between members of the Five Nations, European cultural biases, and the evolution of economic and political relations with Europeans during the French and Indian War years.

Local murder victims, without regard to their background; executions in the Northeast, or nationwide if a German-American was involved; and Southern lynchings, which this paper consistently condemned, are also covered.

We learn of the earliest Christian society in Chapter VII, a Baptist church, soon followed by the Dutch Reformed church.

The entries include the names, rank and organization for the soldiers listed. The military forces at the time were divided into three classes: the Line-regiments in the US Service under General Washington, the Levies-drafts from the different militia regiments, and eligible civilians, called to serve outside the State during their entire term, and the Militia-who could only be called out of State for three months at a time. This work is divided into sections for each of these groups. From the Line, soldiers are listed from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th regiments, as well as the Privateers and the 'Green Mountain Boys.' The section entitled the Levies lists the officers' names, their rank and the names of the enlisted men in these groups.

Masses of papers generated by this unit offer candid comments on those battles as well as daily camp life and the personalities of many of the officers and men. This book comprises orders, reports, memos, personal letters, etc., received and issued by the officers of the unit during this time. It is organized in the form of a \"unit diary\" and could be considered what the battery would have written if it could.

If you had an ancestor who lived on land that adjoined a canal, perhaps he filed a claim with the Canal Board.

The second half of the book, the \"supplement,\" is actually two alphabetical lists of claimants and claims. The first list includes a \"statement of awards.\" Apparently awards had not yet been made for the second list of claims. Common claims were \"for compensation for damages to his premises, caused by a break in the Erie Canal,\" or for damages to property caused by construction of a bridge or a dam, etc. Other claims were made for horses falling off bridges, boat collisions, and contractors seeking payment for materials and repairs.

A magnet to immigrants and the poor in search of jobs, the city was also a haven for gamblers, thieves and murderers. When adults fell victim to alcoholism, prostitution or drug addiction, their children were the ones who suffered the most. Temperance organizations such as the American Female Guardian Society stepped in, establishing orphanages and homes for unwed mothers and battered women: \"homes for the friendless.\" Some of the children in the homes were orphans, but some were \"surrendered\" by parents who were unable to take care of them. Nearly 250,000 of these children were fostered out to families across the United States via the \"orphan trains.\" Recently, several Orphan Train Rider organizations have been formed, providing opportunities for the riders to reunite with family and loved ones, and to seek sources that provide clues to their roots. This book contains valuable entrance records from several of the surrender books of the AFGS Home for the Friendless in New York. Volunteers from the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America painstakingly indexed the surrender books, which had been left to the Rockland County Historical Society.

The author describes, in fascinating detail, the creation of the Dutch West India Company, the abysmal fashion in which it governed the new colony, and the gradual influx of English settlers and English influence which culminated in the complete loss of Dutch control of this extremely valuable colony. A wealth of illustrations and an index to names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas A.

The Landing later merged with the village of Matteawan to become the village of Beacon, New York. The microfilm consists of a series of scrapbooks, into which an unknown archivist clipped and saved articles including the Local Records column, the Married and Died columns, and articles of local interest. This volume contains marriages, deaths, and other genealogical data from January 3, 1874 to December 29, 1877, arranged chronologically and with a full-name index. Women's names are indexed by what might be the middle or maiden name, if it was unclear which was given. The appendices include a list of signers of the Articles of Association, 1776; Pay Roll of Capt. Abram Schenk's Company; Company Returns While A. Schenk Commanded a Company; Memorial Stones; Pay Abstract of Subsistence Due to the Officers; Return of Bounty, July 1776; and names of the Boards of Supervisors of Dutchess County, 1874-1877. This work also includes maps of the Hudson River Valley, Poughkeepsie to Garrison's Towns of Dutchess County, about 1875. Because this time period included the Centennial of the United States, a series of articles entitled \"Fishkill in the Revolution\" were included. From these the author has extracted only a few, which may be of interest to people seeking information about their ancestors during the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatharine M.
