Margaret C. Newport Wed 15 Oct 1997
Pillip VAN HORN, 2nd son of Cornelius Van Horn (b. 1745) and Eve FREDERICK. Phillip grew up at Mill Point, Glen, Montgomery Co N.Y. 1770-1790. Also lived in Cato, Cayuga Co N.Y. about 20 years, then moved to Rives Junction, Jackson Co, MI. He died within a few years after he moved to MI.
Cornelius fought in Battle of Oriskany with the 5th Tryon Co. Militia under Capt John Vissher of Fonda, N.Y. Cornelius Van Horn's name is on a memorial stone listing soldiers who fought in that battle. Am looking for documented proof (i.e. birth record, Bible record, etc) to determine whether this Phillip is Cornelius' son. Abram Van Horn, Cornelius' brother also had a son named Phillip. National Archives could not find Cornelius' war record when it was applied for. Any clue or help you might have would be greatly appreciated. Margaret C. Newport, P.O.

In early spring of this year two ladies from Herkimer submitted two letters to the Fonda Historical Society for archiving. The first letter was from John A. VEEDER to Garret BREES requesting the hand of his daughter Sally Brees in marriage. The second letter was Garrie Brees response to John A. Veeder. The letters were written in 1807 and are in reference to my gg-grandparents. I would like to contact these ladies for additional information on John and Sally. If anyone can tell me who these ladies are or where I can contact them I would be forever grateful. I have been given xerox copies of the letters and am in the process of "cleaning them up". Please contact me. Joan Veeder.

MOON: A Philip Moon was said to be in Palatine Bridge about 1790. He had three sons named William, Abram and Issac. The name of Philip and William are familiar to me as I am a descendent of men with these names. I am hoping that information about this family will give me clues as to the background of the William and Philip from Ontario County that I seek. According to the 1790 census a Darius Moon lived across the Mohawk River in Canajoharie at that time. Is he connected in any way with Philip? If you have any information about any of these Moons I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Barbara Moon Weiler

Still searching desperately for any information on Sylvanus SEAMAN of Carlinville, Ill. or Fairfield, Herkimer Co. NY. We have exhausted all ideas. Any help is welcome. If anyone out there is in New York we could really use your help in answering our questions. We will trade research in Missouri and Illinois for any information about Sylvanus in Fairfield. We understand we was born there about 1808, died in Carlinville, Macoupin Co. Illinois in 1893. He married Nancy McWAINE who we believe was quite a bit younger than he was. She was born in Kentucky about 1824. The had the following children:
We believe all were born in Illinois. Please, Sylvanus Seaman descendants, we know you are out there. Sylvanus had about as many professions as he did children. He was a stagecoach driver, served in the military, was a butcher and who knows what else. If you do know something please email MADMANSMOM@aol.com Help!!!

Early resident of Charleston Four Corners, Mont. Co., NY: Hi - just found this site. I have done some research from a distance on my ancestor, Gabriel L. HORTON, who moved to Montgomery Co. about 1790. The 1790 census lists a Gilbert Horton which may be an error or a relative - one of the questions I still have. Gabriel was "head" of the Quakers in the area. He married a Sarah WING. I have transcribed his will and located 54 grandchildren on the 1850 census. Have his line back to the original immigrant from England. Happy to share any of this. MBrown4169@aol.com

My mother, nee WRIGHT, is descended of DILLENBACHs/ DILLENBECKs by way of HODOMs, etc., all from Montgomery Co., Palatine Bridge, St. Johnsville area. Their genealogy has been done. In fact, the second book for the family I ordered, but apparently the person died (Newport area...can't remember the name) and my order was never placed. I am just getting into this genealogy for the SPAGNAs (SPINEs) and I have so much more appreciation for the dedication that the Dillenbach historians have done over the years. If perchance anyone can put me in contact with a Dillenbach which has my order for the 2nd book I would appreciate it. Thank you Dillenbachs and Herkimer-Montgomery Counties.
