My Salisbury and Whitaker lines in Ulster County have connections to the families listed in the surname list. They lived mostly in Kingston, Saugerties and Glasco, but in the late 1800s some branches moved south to Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey. I have varying amounts of information on these families and would like to connect with anyone researching them. I'm particularly interested in the below families.
Thanks. Berta Dempster
