<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 9009, member: 33&quot;]Your mention of Dutchess County reminds me...</p><p><br /></p><p>The earliest line I have in New York showed up in that state a little later than the mid-1700s -- they came from Rhode Island or Massachusetts near R.I.&nbsp; They were Quakers, and did live in Dutchess County for a while before moving to Albany County (the part that later was broken off into Washington County).&nbsp; There are some useful Quaker meeting records, but really things drop off in the early 19th century as far as records of this family are concerned. </p><p><br /></p><p>For that particular line I was lucky to locate another researcher who happens to be descended from the same line, who is an excellent genealogist, and who did a lot of research on this line long before I was ever interested in genealogy.&nbsp; He was very generous in sending me information when I was first starting out on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Checking on my own, though, it turns out that land records, probate records, newspapers, etc. have all helped to fill in a lot of details.&nbsp; -- But I still don&#039;t have a crucial marriage date that would have occurred in about 1819.&nbsp; It would not have been a Quaker marriage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
