The collection includes copies of maps of Fort Edward, East Greenwich, Argyle, Hebron, Fort Miller and North Argyle. The original maps are now at the National Archives in Washington D.C., the New York State Library, and the Washington County Clerk's Office. Older residents of Washington County traced some of the maps from memory.
- ABSTRACT: Military records in the collection are copies of items in the National Archives (Colonel Alexander Webster's Regiment Militia, 1780-1782, and John Williams' Regiment Militia, 1778-1781), and a copy of a Captain Moss's roster for Washington County men in the War of 1812. Genealogical information is recorded in a journal listing marriages and baptisms recorded by the Reverend Archibald White (1820), a journal (1868) listing Washington County physicians and listing births in several Washington County towns, an early 19th century mortgage index, the Reid family tree, the Snyder and Potter marriage certificate, and deeds and mortgages for the following Washington County families: Underhill, Harris, Bayard, Schuyler, Tearse, Hunter, Rogers, Boyd, and Hall.
