Mon Oct 7 09:34:20 1996 Seeking Marriage Record of a Simon Vrooman to Marietye ___?___. Vrooman died and his widow remarried Henry Markle. Need Marriage record for this union as well. Attached is an assignement of Mary's dower rights. Apparantly she was unable to gain relief on her own and she sold her rights to Henry's brother Abraham Markle of Ulysses, now Ihaca Onondaga later Cayuga now Tomkins Co, NY. Was document ever filed in Schoharie County? Did Abraham ever recover Mary's Dower Rights? Abraham had married as his second wife, the widow of ___?___ Vrooman who had at least one child Jacob Vrooman who, when Abraham and Catharine Thorn Vrooman emmigrated to Ancaster Twp, Wentworth Co, Ontario, Canada ca 1806, was left in charge of the inn at Ithaca which became known as the Tompkins House. Were the widow's married to Vrooman Brothers? I suspect both Vrooman males died in Ithaca. Some probate or guardianship papers should have been filed in both counties. I am sending this to Cayuga, Onondaga, Tompkins, Albany, and Schoharie Counties in the Hopes that someone will be researching the same surnames or the same time period in these localities which will solve some of these unknowns.
