Thanks

He then pioneered in Western Wisconsin.

Any help in tracking down the parentage of Charles C. Van Brunt is greatly appreciated.

Photo of Addie Cuddeback

joecan — 2 Mar 2004 11:20:36 GMT

In an antique store in Ohio I found an old CDV photo by R A Lord, Chatham St, NY. Written on the back:

"M Addie Cuddeback"

I see an Adaline Cuddeback in Orange Co NY in 1870 wife of Harmonus Cuddeback. Her maiden name might have been Adeline Chapman .

I also see an Ada Cuddeback wife of Cornelius Cuddeback. Her maiden name might have been Adelle A Case. Perhaps she is one of these two women.

Masten -Newburgh Mastodon bones

tamhardy — 16 Jan 2005 6:04:10 GMT

My relative read a 5th grade book that has information about Mastodon bones that were found in the field that belonged to John Masten around 1801 in Newburgh, NY; also it says that Peale (famous painter) made a painting about it.

This is the first time I heard about this bit of history & would like to know more. I believe this John Masten probably fits into my line somehow.

I'm searching for more on Oliver (Oscar?) Masten, born about 1812 in Newburgh, NY (according to family knowledge, but I need more sources). He married Catharine Masten (also her maiden name) & they lived in Newburgh & had several children.

I would appreciate any information on this. Thanks!

Finding Death Cert. or Police File in Goshen

Does anyone know if there is a way to access the Goshen police files for 1907? or if I could get a death cert directly from the town of Goshen? Any help or direction in getting some more info is greatly appreciated.

DOUGAN-McCARROLL wedding, Bullville, 1916

kdefoster — 7 Jun 2008 8:40:34 GMT

At St. Paul’s R.C. Church, Bullville, on Wednesday, May 17th, at 10 o’clock, Miss Winifred McCarroll, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John P. McCarroll of Thompson Ridge, became the bride of Thomas F. Dougan of Bullville. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. Farrington.

The bride was attended by Miss Margaret Dougan of Bullville and John T. McCarroll of Thompson Ridge acted as best man.

The bride wore a beautiful gown of white silk crepe de chine and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley. The bridesmaid wore a pretty dress of cream silk crepe de chine.

The house was artistically decorated with white ribbons and apple blossoms and a breakfast was served by an aunt of the bride, Miss W. Coyne of Roscoe, to 50 guests. Music was furnished by Miss Mary V. Keener of Roscoe.

Many beautiful wedding gifts were received by the bride, among which were cut glass, silver, linen, lamps, furniture, hand-painted china and checks. After a wedding trip, known only to themselves, the couple will make their home in Thompson Ridge where the groom is engaged as a carpenter.

Among the guests present were: the Misses M. V. Brown of Middletown; M. V. Keener of Roscoe; Margaret Goff of DeBruce; Winnie Coyne of Roscoe; Helen Lanney of Bullville; Margaret Dougan of Bullville; Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Rigney of Middletown; Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Kuhn and children of Middletown; H. C. Dougan (father of the groom) of Bullville; Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hopler and mother of Pine Bush; L. Burns of New Hampton; Mrs. K. Rigney, Mark Rigney, F. C. Martin and son; Miss Vina Rosencranse of Bullville; H. Young, Mr. and Mrs. James Butler and son of Searsville; Mrs. John Carmody and daughter of Thompson Ridge; William Cahill of Bullville; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burns, Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

THOMAS F. DOUGAN, b. 1890 NY, d. 1970 NC

kdefoster — 7 Jun 2008 8:36:24 GMT

Thomas F. Dougan died at the age of 79 in Charlotte, Mecklenburg, NC and is buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Montgomery, Orange, NY.

Thomas was born in either Wyoming or Erie county, NY but relocated with his father and siblings after his mother’s death, sometime between 1900 and 1910. In 1910, he is found in Crawford (probably Bullville). He married Winifred McCarroll of Thompson Ridge in 1916.

Are records available for St. Mary’s Cemetery? I’m hoping to find records for other family members, especially his father, Hugh Cormick Dougan, b. abt 1857, death date unknown.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Catholic Cemeteries in Orange County

joewihit — 18 May 2008 1:49:09 GMT

Hello All,
I'm trying to compile a list catholic cemeteries and bried information about them such as approximately year they opened, location/directions, brief descrition and any other details.

Known to me:

St. Patrick's: Opened 1850. Catholic burials prior to 1850 occured in the Newburghs "Old Town Cemetery". Approx 30 catholics are known to be buried there. St. Patricks is located on the corner of Rt. 9W and Broadway, in the heart of Newburgh, NY.

Calvary: Opened March 1898. Catholics from all over the USA are buried here. Calvary is the 'newer' St Patrick's Church cemetery. Many families decided to be buried in Calvary over the older St Patrick's. St Pats is much smaller, thus Calvary can hold many more. Calvary is located on the corner of Quassaick Ave;Rt 94 and Rt 9W on the norther edge of New Windsor just before heading into Newburgh.

St. Thomas: Cornwall Located across the street from the Cornwall Highschool. Even though I have relatives buried their I know little about it. Best guess is that opened about 1890s to 1900. Sorry.

St. Francis: New Windsor Located on Windsor Highway between Rt 94 and Union Ave, across from Woodlawn Cemetery.
Even though I grew up down the street from it, I don't know much about its origin. Best guess is that opened up somewhere around 1930s.

PS If you are searching for pictures of headstones for loved ones try :Find a grave" for Orange County
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScnty...

Would love to hear were other Orange County Catholic Cemeteries are located and info about them.

Illenberg, Gray, King, McElroy families in Orange Co.!!

@@ggillil151@msn.com — 31 Dec 2003 1:29:41 GMT

I am new to the list. My major research interest is the Illenberg(er) family who descended from Frederick Illenberg who emigrated to Orange Co. from Nattheim, Wuettemberg in 1854. I have extensively researched this family and have much information to share. Various members of the family married into the Gray branch, who descended from John Gray of Lloyd's Neck, Long Island, into the King family branch descendent from John King born in Canada in 1757.and into the McElroy branch who descended from Alexander McElroy born in Monroe.

I am also interested in Matthew COSTELLO, born 8/15/1863 in Goshen, who married Catherine Teresa RILEY, also born in Goshen 4/9/1865. They had 12 children and lived in Middletown until their deaths in the 1920's. I am interested in their marriage record, their Irish heritage and Matthew's mother, Honora O'Loughlin.

Any interest and information will be welcomed and gladly reciprocated.

Hauntedrose — 14 May 2008 11:21:50 GMT

Seeking others researching the family of Abraham Rundle b. 1730 and his wife Lydia Lizzie Newman b. 1739. Both were born in the area of Fairfield County, CT. Both Abraham and his eldest son Elnathan served in the Revolution in Crane's Regiment from Westchester County. According to a deposition by Elnathan, the family moved from the Stamford, CT area to Bedford, Westchester Co about 1760 and were living there at the outbreak of the Revolution. The family located to Orange County after the Revolution. Abraham and Lydia were living in Minisink Township in the 1800 census, but can't find them after. The 12 children married into the Rockwell, Manning, Fuller, Corwin, Writer and Van Tuyle families. Cannot find a will in Orange County for Abraham Rundle.

Richard and Anna Wisner Dowdle (Doudle) and family

thomasdrew2007 — 13 Feb 2008 2:59:44 GMT

Does anyone have information on this family?
Richard Dowdle (b. abt 1745 in Goshen, Orange, NY d. 11 Sept. 1800 Niagara, Ontario, Canada)
He married 17 July 1766 Anna Wisner (Wisener) (b. abt 1747 d. ?)

He is listed in the 1790 census (Minisink, Orange, NY)
Minisink back then included a very large area so that doesn't help.

Their children were all born in Orange County:
Thomas (b. abt 1767 -buried 10 Apr 1840 in Rochester, NY)
I don’t know if he married or had a family.

Margaret Dowdle
(b. 13 Nov 1768 -d. 31 Dec 1848 St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada)
married abt 1790 in Orange County, NY Capt. William Drake
(b. 30 Jul 1757 Orange County, NY -d. 10 Jun 1842 St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada) They had eleven children.

Anna Dowdle
(b. abt 1770 -buried 17 Dec 1833 Rochester, NY)
married in Niagara, Ontario 15 Mar 1795 William B. Wallace
(b. 26 Dec 1758 Londonderry, Rockingham, NH -d. 6 Aug 1823 Rochester, Monroe, NY) They had seven children.

Mary Ann Dowdle
(b. abt 1772 -d. 13 Nov 1852 Buffalo, Erie, NY)
married in Orange County, NY Phineas J. Howell
(b. 1768 Orange County, NY -d. aft 1815 in New York)
They had three children. After Phineas died, she married James Wallace (see below) in NY. No additional children.

Charity Dowdle
(b. abt 1776 -d. 23 Feb 1797 Niagara, Ontario, Canada)
married 17 Jul 1796 in Niagara, Ontario, James Wallace
(b. 31 Mar 1763 Londonderry, Rockingham, NH -d. 23 Nov 1852 Buffalo, Erie, NY) They had no children. James and William
Wallace were brothers.

What I would love to know is:
Anyone’s date of birth that I don’t already know.
Does anyone know who Richard Dowdle’s parents were?
When and where did his wife Anna Wisner Dowdle die?
Did Richard and Anna have additional children not listed?
When and where (possibly Goshen, NY) did Mary Ann Dowdle and Phineas J. Howell marry?
When and where did Phineas J. Howell die?
When and where did Mary Ann Dowdle marry her second husband James Wallace?

Thank you for any information you have. I hope that what I have listed helps others as well!

BROWN, Goshen area 1860+

joyweave — 5 May 2008 5:54:50 GMT

I'm trying to learn more about a John BROWN who is in the 1860 and later censuses with wife, Margaret, at Goshen. His place of origin in the 1860 census is given as County Antrim in Ireland. What I'm trying to learn is whether he might have been a brother of my husband's ancestor, Mary BROWN, who married John Jacob WEAVER/ WEBER in Hamptonburgh in 1858.

Churches in Goshen/ Hamptonburgh area?

joyweave — 5 May 2008 6:01:34 GMT

I'm trying to learn what churches, most likely Episcopal or Presbyterian existed in the area of Goshen and Hamptonburgh in the 1860s and 1870s and where their records are now.
I know that my husband's gggm Mary BROWN married John Jacob WEAVER/ WEBER at the Presbyterian Church in Campbell Hall in 1858, but the records of that church do not contain the baptism of their son, John A. WEAVER, b. 1859 or his death in 1876, nor of Mary's second marriage to Jospeh GROFF/ GRAFF between 1865 and 1870. I'm hoping that records of another church in that geographic area may hold some part of that family history.

Any Children Born To Mary Theresa McCabe Goggin(s) in The 70's

jasminemjohnson — 27 Mar 2008 4:57:28 GMT

Seeking any children born to Mary Theresa Goggin in Newburgh NY or Middletown, NY. Orange County handled the adoption of my brother, but I don't have a name for him, and I allegedly have a set of twin siblings as well. SO please anyone with information, please email me back. Mary''s birth name was Mccabe, so that may be on their birth certificate. We are desperately seeking our siblings to reunite, but more importantly due to medical emergency. I have a question, why is NY so stingy with information? You can look on other states websites like texas, and see who was born and when? What do we need to do get laws passed to open these records to make public?

Emma Teachman

ralphrogersjr — 20 Apr 2008 2:01:13 GMT

Who is Emma Teachman born 1780 in New Jeresy? Where did she reside in 1850? Is she a sister of Elizabeth (Teachman) Schriver?

In 1860, she resided with Caspar & Eliza Schriver. See census below.

1860 United States Federal Census
Name: Emma Teachman
Age in 1860: 80
Birth Year: abt 1780
Birthplace: New Jersey
Home in 1860: Warwick, Orange, New York
Gender: Female
Value of real estate: View image
Household Members: Name Age
Casper Schriver 65
Eliza Schriver 58
Emma Teachman 80

Eliza Schriver (age 58 in the 1860 census) was believe to be the daughter of Aaron Morse (b about 1770 - d bef 1850) and Elizabeth Teachman? (b about 1765 - d after 1855). It might be possible that Elizabeth Teachman is the "Betsy" Teachman daughter of David Teachman (b 1738) who supposedly married an Indian woman.

After working as an apprentice machinist with the National Machine Company in New York City, he entered the service of the Manhattan Elevated Railway. In 1886, he went to work with the C.& C. Motor Co., pioneers in the manufacture of electric motors, and remained with this company and its successors for thirty-seven years.
Mr. Elliott's grandparents were William S. Elliott, a farmer of Coldenham, Orange Co., N.Y., who married Rebecca Warrell 8 Jan. 1835, and his great-grand-father was William Elliott of Coldenham.

I have a death certificate from Kansas for Frank Sears- died June 15, 1906. His place of burial is listed as Montgomery, NY. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what cemetery this may have referred to? I would appreciate any information anyone can provide.
