Searching for WILLIAM ADAMS, farmer who always termed himself as "of Coxsackie in Albany Co."  Sgt. William Adams served in Dutchess 7th militia (from now Putnam area). He was the son of John Adams (called Sr.) and had siblings Jesse Adams (d. 1781 in the Williamsburg VA in Rev.), Mary (Adams) Tompkins and Pvt. Major Adams. Major Adams may only have been a half brother. He didn't sign the renunciation on the letter of administration on Jesse Adams deceased in 1791 nor was listed as an heir in 1822. The federal government turned down an application for bounty land based on service of Jesse Adams. William Adams in 1822, still "of Coxsackie in Albany Co." applied for compensation from the State of NY at Albany and the family was granted compensation of 200 acres in Sterling NY.

I hope this query reaches the knowing and knowledgeable. One of my ancestors is ELISHA LATIMER, born in New Paltz, Ulster County, in 1792. The 1790 census lists an Elisha Latimon in Ulster. Then, the 1800 census has two Elisha Latimers in the Windham area of Greene County -- one over 45 years of age, and the other under 26. I am hoping that these two are my ancestor's father and grandfather. For several reasons, I think the family migrated from CT. The Ulster records show an Ebenezer Latimer -born in CT- who married Jennetje Osterhout in 1793 in Rochester township. In Wethersfield, Ct there was an Elisha Latimer who had sons named Elisha, born in 1741, and Ebenezer, born in 1744. I believe that probably the sons and/or their sons moved westward together. I would appreciate any information or leads. Thank you. Louise Ward [email protected]

2)  Lucinda SIMMONS (1815-1905) and husband Jacob GARRISON (1813-1885), of Cairo. (Lucinda IS Conrad's daughter.)

Looking for the parents  and or information  on  JUDAH MUNSON SPENCER, b. July 13,  1810 and died June 11, 1879. He lived in Ashland, Greene Co, NY and is buried in Pleasant Valley Cem in the same town. He married LAVINIA HANER ( 1826-1907) They had 5 children, but one died young. There is a strong possibility that Judah was previously married to HENRIETTA CLAFLIN from nearby Lexington ( and had 3 children ) . There was a GEORGE W. SPENCER from Prattsville, Greene Co, NY who claimed J.M SPENCER as his father when he was in the Civil War. The time frame is possible for Judah to have had another family   before marrying LAVINIA HANER. Of course, this is only my theory , but  also a very  probable theory,.   If anyone knows any info on any of these people, please let me know. Lorna Puleo

VAN VALKENBURGH--BERGH--BURG--BERG 
I am researching all the different spellings of Van Valkenburgh because I've seen it spelled all the different ways. I'll list them from the oldest down to my grandmother and I will put the area they lived in where I have it. I think most of them came from Greene County. Hendrick VAN DYCK married Maria SCHUYLER AND had a daughter, Maria VAN DYCK born in 1701. She married Frans VAN VALKENBURG born in 1702. His parents were Lambert Jochemse VAN VALKENBURG and Jannetje Frans CLAUW. Maria and Frans VAN VALKENBURG had a son Lambert, born in 1741. He married Catharyna VAN VALKENBURG in 1762 in New York. She was born in 1740. They had a son Lambert L. who died Dec. 27, 1841 in Lexington, Greene County. He married Mary [Polly] Patterson on Feb. 20, 1798 in Kinderhook. She was born about 1779 and died Sept. 29, 1835. They had a son John VAN VALKENBURG, who was born April 28, 1802 in Rensselaer County. He married Mary [Polly] DEWEY about 1827. She was born about 1804 and died in Brooklyn , N.Y. John had a business where he made pencils. They had a son Watson VAN VALKENBERGH who was born about 1828 and married Mary J. She died Jan. 22, 1915 in Brooklyn, N.Y. They had a daughter Katie Olcott VAN VALKENBERGH who was born Dec. 15, 1866 and died Feb. 1, 1944. Watson and his brother Romeyn had a business making gold pen and pencils and cases in Manhattan, N.Y. on 4-6 John Street. Any information on any of these people would be appreciated. I would also like to know what nationality they were. Patricia Saemmer [email protected]
