This is a continuation of the ledger entries I started in my Monday Mystery Ledger (first posting January 31, 2011).
To repeat: The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to try to help me figure out where this ledger came from – patterns of names connecting to families might help narrow down the possibilities. Although I don't know for sure, it probably is from somewhere near Albany in upstate New York. The first entry is 1830. My notes and running commentary are in brackets...
I hope you find something here on your family – there are a lot of tidbits, with people mentioned as “son of”, “wife of” etc. So good luck!
Names found in the posts for previous Mondays included:
Becker, Mary Becker, David Becker, Peter Beecker, David Billington, James Billington, John (son of James) Borgt, George Dusendorf, Wm Flansburg, Conrad | Fundy, Henry Groat, SimonHoug, Peter M Merenae, Abram/Abraham Mereness, John Mereness, John Jr Mereness, Martin Moak, Phillip Pinder, John Rosenburg, Jacob | Simonmons, [illegible] Sirby (Dirby?), Nicolas Rosenburg, Jacob Sommers, Abram Sommers, Harriett Vanderwarker, George (above might be Vandewater?) Vaness, John |
Today, the ledger revisits some individuals who have already made an appearance. There are also some new names as well.
Make like Sherlock Holmes and see what clues you can find – on to the ledger entries!
