| Comments: | Thanks for the info. on this site- it has been very helpful. We had
tried to get some names and dates from an old photo and piece together
info from old family stories. I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the third person listed on the stone of Zaccheus H. Baker in the LaGrange Rural Cemetery? Our old photo shows the letters Albe for the first name and the -er of the last name, which I am assuming is Baker and dates that look like March 5, 187_ ___ 4, 1878(?) the dates in the photo are obscured by a plant my grandmother had placed in front of the stone. Also, does anyone know if Theodore A. Degroff was related to the Ada DeGroff listed on the Baker stone? Does anyone know addresses or phone numbers of Historical society etc that might help me in my search? Thanks so much for a great site. |

| Comments: | I really like your page. I came acroos it because i was interested in this unsolved crime. My grandmother was 10-years-old at the time and has passed the story onto my mother who later told it to me. My grandmother always though that she and my great-grandparents drove this stranger across the river. She said that he had been hitchhiking and they picked him up. I'm not sure if I fully believe this story...after all she was only 10 and could've been mistaken. However, she did say he was wearing a wool overcoat and talked funny. Anyway..just had to say this was nice to come upon while researching. thanks. |

| Comments: | I have been researching my husband's Gulnac roots and have ended up in Dutchess Co. The name was misspelled Gulineck and Gulneck, but it is Gulnac in his family history. I have gotten back in time to Peter Dates Gulnac born in 1818 and can not determine if Michael Gulineck is his father. I have some clues, the Dates family was listed in the census next to him, but nothing positive yet. I searched your tombstones and appreciate all the hard work you have done on this site. Thank you for letting me visit, Martha Post |

I often google the family name and find your web site. I just found the pix you posted and saw some similarities to my father's family members. In addition, you have some of the same names in your family that my ancestors had. My sister does much more geneology than I and she is more knowledgeable of the family history. If you'd like to contact her I'll provide her e mail address: Nannyk06@Verizon.net She is Nancy Louise (Buechele) Kowalczyk. |

Love your page! Keep up the good work! Someone HAS to do it! I am pleased and grateful that you are so dedicated! I, too, have horror stories of mishandling of records. By the way, have the DOWER books ever been saved or preserved? I saw them in the vault in the late 60's. When I inquired as to how many dower books they had, I was told there were no dower books. I shudder each time I remember. Keep up the good work. I shall endeavor to visit you on a more regular basis. With kindest personal regards, and many thanks, bj |

| Comments: | My ggggrandfather was Richard Grant born in Dutchess county about
1783; he married Rebecca Benedict and by the 1820 census they were in Lenox, Madison county, NY with about 8 children. My John Benedict Grant was born 1804; some of his siblings were Nathan, Barney, Alexander, Henry, Amari, Eunice, Alvin and Meltiah. This family later moved to Hastings, Oswego county, New York and are found on the 1850 census there. Does anyone have anything on Richard Grant or Rebecca Benedict? Census report indicates Richard was born in Dutchess county but I do not know how long he lived there. The 1790 census shows two Grant families - James and John. Thanks for any help. Will gladly share what I have. |

| Comments: | Dear Ginny,This is my first time to visit your site. My original
purpose was to find information on along-ago Dentist from your area.
Perhaps you can help with this. From 'The Sunday Courier' of Poughkeepsie dated Mar.07,1911 is an OBIT. for a Charles K.BARLOW.Age 62.States that he began his practice in Fishkill Landing until 1877 [when I suppose fe went to Poughkeepsie].He would have been born in /about 1849. A half-brother was Myron K.BARLOW, 'Several brothers and sisters'-quote.He also was a Mason-which might provide a local clue there if there are Masons still locally. I am trying to discover more on this BARLOW family as there is a SMITH connection I am following up on. Thanks, Also, I am telling you Thanks for the kinds of information you have on your site, The persistence with which you 'dogged; the county historian issue was impressive to me because my sister Barbara Bell is the Schuyler County Historian for many years.Also, for about 40+ years- Historian for the Village of Reading,NY near Watkins Glen,NY. And, she has to fight for every nickel of support,too!It has ranged from 3-4 hundred to maybe $1500. a year. I do not know exactly. But, she has worked long and faithfully there on behalf of that county as do many Historians. C.J.Sheldon in Thousand Oaks, CA.many years now |

| Comments: | It seems that most of my ancestors came from the Massachusetts and Rhode Island area to Dutchess County. Then the Weekes and Story's came from Oyster Bay and North Carolina. All of them were Quakers and finding records in Dutchess County I have found to be hard at least for me. 20 years ago I lived in New Fairfield, Ct and was not interested in genealogy, came out to Kansas and joined DAR and haven't stopped investigating the past. I would love to find out why the Moshers, Macombers, Deuels (Davol) picked up stakes in the New England area, and came to Dutchess county and then all of sudden moved to Grand Isle Vermont. Then there is my great great grandfather Alfred Homans Smiley and his twin Albert Keith Smiley who come to Minnewaska and built the most beautiful hotels (which are gone now). They are both buried in the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. I hope you can preserve many of Dutchess Counties treasures. |

| Comments: | My family on my Mothers side have some history there in Millerton, but I can not find anything on my Mother who was at one time, at 10 yrs. old (1920)with her Mother (Ann or Anna T. Estephe)and my Grandmother, had a Milliner store in a Inn. And Mom use to refer to it as The Millerton Inn. They were both buried there in Millerton, but I can't seem to find out what Cemetery. I think from memory that there was a church or a small building right where they where buried. I wish I knew my Grandmothers maiden name. I hope you find out anything--anything would be so wonderful! Thank you---frustrated in Oakland!!! |

| Comments: | Hi, My family and I moved to California in 1977 after living in Dutchess County from 1955 to 1974. Actually, my father, Richard Allen Feulner, who was born in The Bronx in 1931, lived in Dutchess County from about 1938 to 1974. I could give you a fair amount of information (if you'd want it) about my immediate family, but I only know a little about my grandparents on my father's side and nothing about my grandparents on my mother's side. My father lived on Pumkin Lane and Myers Corners Rd. from 1938 until 1951. Long story. Anyway, it's strange, I have lived in California for almost thirty years, though I still love visiting beautiful Dutchess County as often as I can, and I got into a discussion with someone about unsolved murders in general (I'm a criminal justice student as San Franciso City College) and one thing led to another and he mentioned about "an unsolved murder of a family from 1930 in Dutchess County" and I just started to do some research on the Net about it. It was a very, very strange conversation...probably nothing to it. I do not even know this person's name. Anway, I tried to do some research on it on the Net, and found your site. It is very, very interesting. It's funny. My family built a house on Old Sylvan Lake Road and what was then called Arthursburg Road in 1963. After visiting this summer, I think it's now called route...something. In CA there are no "routes"; it's all, "highway this and highway that". In the article on the Germond family murders, it was interesting to see the name "Pulling" and "Arthursburg" associated with people and not roads. Truth is, I have found out, between looking at sattelite and arial photos on Google.Earth and general Net searching, more about the history Dutchess County then I ever knew when I was living there from 1959 to 1974. In any event, the article was very, very interesting. I had never heard of those murders when I lived in Dutchess County over twenty years. And a ride on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train, and I'm sitting next to a man in his sixties who seemed to know a lot about it! Strange world. Anyway, it is very interesting. Sincerely, Charles Feulner |

Only tracked the line back to Dutchess County this year, and the stupid thing is, I was raised in Rockland County, just across the Hudson. At the time, my interest in family history was nil. We grow too soon old, and too late smart. Wish I'd known 40-50 years ago I'd be looking there now. |

| Comments: | Your surnames are very interesting. I see much history in them. Did
some of your people live in the Berkshires? I have been researching family
there and I wonder about your Weeks and your Witbeck. Do you possibly have
information about Native American families? I have some lines that were. I
also have a Jane Hoyt from Ghent who married John Snyder and I'm trying to
place them. We have definite connections through Quaker ancestors in Dutchess County. I didn't look through all your surnames, but I saw Austin, Reynolds and Palmer. Possibly we connect through Boice. Our Bogarduses may be related too. My ancestress was Anneke Jans who was married to Everard Bogardus, but I descend from her first marriage. Thank you for sharing your work. |

so cannot read them. My family is Brownell Lee who served in Civil War,
and his son and family Weston Lee. Hope to get back there someday, but we
are in mid-New Hampshire. If you know of anyone who can send me the
inscriptions, please pass along my e-mail. Thanks and congrats on a great
web-site! P.S. We sent money so they could replace the Hydrangea Bush next to his stone...that was about 1990. A beautiful cemetery, but we noticed his bush was scrawny. So happy they would do that for us! |

| Comments: | It was a pleasure to view your web site of St. James Church graves. My
great grandfather was Rae Haversham Rogers who died January 06, 1935 and
is supposed to have been buried in St. James Cemetary. You didn't list him
but I understand how you might only have just so much time in the day to
devote to trudging around grave yards. It was still very interesting to
gleam some more information about my Rogers ancestors...well done!
Going through old family papers I noticed poor old Rae's burial costs amounted to over 50 percent of the value of his estate(remember this was the depression) so I certainly hope he got his moneys worth! Well, again, good job and happy hunting, -RW |

information that does not work out time wise. And everyone has left
Dutchess county by 1832 or so, presumably to Monroe county NY but cannot
find them there in later census. Sons Solomon and Ethan A Cornwell died in
Illinos. Son Morris Cornwell died in California. Smith Cornwell probably
died in NY. Four daughters - Charlotte is my line and she died in
childbirth in Illinois,Fanny is supposed to be in Grand Rapids , MI in
1890 where the mother died at her home. Two other daughters Lucinda and
Emma were probably married but have no idea to whom . |

| Comments: | Your website is so well done - what an amazing amount of work you've accomplished! I so enjoyed the cemetery listings with their "reverant" touch - even if I didn't find my relatives. Ebenezer Mayhew is listed in the 1790 census for Amenia with 4 males and 3 females and also served in Vandenburgh's 5th Regiment during the Revolutionary War. Oliver Mayhew is listed in Stanford in 1810 with 3 boys and 2 girls. I believe these are my gggg grandfather and my ggg grandfather. Oliver relocated to the Owego, Tioga Co,. NY area where I find him and his family from 1850 on. Any info on this family would be so appreciated, and any info that I might have I would gladly share. |

| Comments: | My family seems to have been centered around Amenia, NY. Most of two generations are buried there. Great great grandparents and family immigrated about 1850-58 from Ireland but I have found no records on this so far. (too early for Ellis Island) Have visited Amenia and think it is a lovely area. Very impressed with your web site and the amount of work it must have taken. Cheers, Gene. |

I often say the names on the markers outloud, almost as if to invoke their spirit. It is so beautiful there, the landsaping etc. My son and I recently hiked up to the Whittier mausoleum- Wow what a view! The cemetary is a community treasure. I was glad to find your site.

It is just that we don't have the dates and names of all the ancesttors
that we are looking for. If you can help us in any way, we would
appreciate it. His family was one of the first to settle the Rhinebeck
area. They were Dutch decendents. |

anything on Chistian and his family. One thought is that they came from
Plapp, Germany and used Plapper as a family name. Pronounced with a German

Newark in 1840; clerk was Zebulon Dickinson. He moved his family to MObile
AL ca. 1846 where he had a clothing store in partnership with F. Mackin of
Newark. Heritage Quest lists, in 1810 census, NY, NY 8th Ward, Mary Dickinson (widow); immediately above that is listed Zebulon Brinkerhoff. Here we're stopped. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

| Comments: | Thankyou for printing this website I stumbled onto it by accident I was married on may 24,1986 on my grandparents 75th wedding anniversary They were deceased but my mother died when I was ten months old and they raised me.I wanted to do something in memory of them. I researched it because family members differed on the date that I had but I got it from the church and there had been a fire so they were not sure so I went with it because I think they might of inulled the first church service and then got remarried in the catholic church but the first time it was in the st. Lukes church on the same day may 24th around the same as me. they raised me right because I guess I researched it correctly because it matches your information and it means so much to me.I can't thankyou enough......keep up the good work! |
