Forgot yo give first names, sorry about that. The one I'm looking for is David B. Stillman, who marrried Esther on the date given below. He says his Civil War records that he was born in New York. but I am unable to locate the right David b. in 1824.

Bennett-Stillman marriage took place in East Hampton, LI in 1846, Esther Bennett, daughter of Henry Bennett & Abagail Edwards. I am unable to find them in 1850 census and by 1860 they had moved ti Wi. Their children were Alice, Henry B., Lydia, Charles; the rest may have been born in WI.

Hey Frances! I have some Van Nests on my mom's side, WAAAAY back in New York in the 1600's. Related to the Deckers and Brokaws and Op Den Graffs in my tree.

Jeannine - The Green County Historical Society, which is a part of and located at the Vedder Library in Green County is a wonderful research resource for that area of the country. Their volunteers are also at the Vedder Library on a regular basis and are available to do lookups. Green County is really well organized. I didn't find Clinton County, across the river, as well organized when I was there several years ago, with volunteers on duty regularly, but they did have books published of records. I bought one of each that were available while I was there, since my husbands 4th and 5th great grandfathers were named in them. The graveyards in the area were invaluable, along with the many, many small state historical sites and museums, and especially the docents at the Bethpage state living museum on Long Island.

Thank you Joan. I also descend from John and Elizabeth Feake through their son John (b. abt. 1639) and his wife Elizabeth PRIOR.

Frances ... I was unaware of the Vedder Library resource. Thank you for noting it here. We live on Vancouver Island (on the other coast) and it is my dream to travel to NY some time in the next couple of years. Thank you for sharing this info with us.

Hi Carol,
Your William Underhill was son of Samuel & Elizabeth Baker; Samuel was son of Daniel & Deborah Burr; Daniel was son of Daniel & Sarah Townsend; Daniel was son of Peter & Penelope Alling; Peter was son of David & unknown 1st wife; David was son of the (in)famous Capt. John & Elizabeth Feake (probably the youngest child (his 9th, her 5th) b. 1672. This is according to v. V of The Underhill Genealogy. So yes, you are also involved in this entangled, mostly Quaker group. I am descendant of Capt. John & Elizabeth Feake's first son (his 5th child, her 2nd), Nathaniel, so we are (distantly) related, and probably in other ways than this Underhill line.

This is the same area that my ancestors were from. My gggrandmother's sister, Mary MANN, married William UNDERHILL in Oyster Bay on Oct 31, 1845. My direct ancestors were John MANN and his wife Jane JONES, John DAVIS and his wife Freelove DILLINGHAM (Lattingtown) and Alexander FLEMING and his wife Hannah BARD (Lattingtown) and on the other side of the family, I have Henry LATTIN (originally LATTING). Does anyone else connect to these ? Our ancestors were probably neighbors !

Frances,
Thanks so much. I admit I haven't worked with this material for some years now. I am familiar with Mary Powell Bunker's book; I used it a lot for my multiple Seamans, Tituses, Merritts, Willises & Willets back then, but apparently didn't run across this Strickland material and some of the other of minor names (at least I didn't make note of them). I'll revisit it. It is interesting that on p. 291, MPB says Elisabeth was dau of Samuel Strickland and thus grand dau of John. I took my information from MPB's p. 134, which says Elisabeth was dau of John Strickland. Requires further study. These folk are all tangled indeed, but I love them.
Janice,
I looked briefly in my Underhill books as I am entangled with them as well. I could find 1. Townsend Fleet Bailey (m Carrie Youngs); 2. Townsend Bailey, son of Samuel & Elizabeth [Finch] Bailey, who m. Mary (dau of Andries Seaman & Sarah Underhill; 3. Townsend Weeks who m. Theodosia Underhill; 4. Some Wanzer-Wansors (Anna C., Charity, Daniel, Julia, Moses, Sarah (m James Burr (son of Daniel Burr & Sarah Underhill), & William. (This source indicates that Sarah Wansor could be interpreted as Sarah Warren as well.) if any of this helps, I could do further lookups, but need your dates to see if any of it fits. Your guess of your being entangled with these Underhills etc. sounds good, but I couldn't directly and quickly confirm it. I also have Merritt in my line, but Jobe doesn't ring a bell. Do you know anything more about him? I have some questions about early Merritts as well (MPB above doesn't help my particular query about them, though it has lots of good stuff about my line.)
Joan
