  • Notes 
    • RESEARCH_NOTES;
      1. FHL book 974.761D2G "Early Families of Herkimer County New York, Descendants of the Burnetsfield Palatines," by William V.H. Barker, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1986, preface: "In 1664 the British took control of New York State and the Mohawk Valley area came under the jurisdiction of Albany County from that time until about 1774 when it became Tryon county (in 1784 the area was renamed as Montgomery county, the western portion of which was set off in 1791 as Herkimer County). In modern times, Herkimer County bounded by Oneida County on the west and by Montgomery and Fulton Counties on the east." [N.B. Tryon was changed to Montgomery because Tryon followed the Tory cause whereas Montgomery was a patriot.]

      BIRTH:
      1. The Philip Frederick Mill dates from 1750 according to the New York state historical highway marker sign. Maria Saltz's father lived just down the road. This would help us surmise that all of their children were born at "Millpoint" within the modern boundaries of Florida township in Montgomery County. Millpoint still shows up on modern-day maps and was probably named after the Frederick Mill. See Philip's notes for more on this mill and its present-day location.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Marriage records of "Records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Caughnawaga: now the Reformed Church of Fonda, in the village of Fonda, Montgomery County, N.Y.," New York, 1917, 748 pp.:
      Lodewyk Frederick and Alida Miller, 21 Mar 1774.
      Frans Frederick and Susanna Cosaadt, 30 Dec 1774.
      Frans Cosaadt and Nancy Johnson, 20 Jun 1777.
      Thomas Van Horne and Maria Frederick, 21 Oct 1779.
      Peter Frederick and Elizabeth Marlet, 21 Oct 1779 [same time as Thomas Van Horne.]
      (Illegible) Mair? and the daughter of Philip Fredrick, 23 Jan 1788. [Could this be Hendrick Mower and Elizabeth Frederick?]
      Christian Plank and Hannah Frederick, 1 Jan 1801.
      George Frederick and Caty Cag, 21 Feb 1803.

      ACTION:
      1. The book "Compendium of Mohawk Valley Families," by Marily Penrose, pp. 840 and 841, has the following baptismal entry: "Thomas and Maria (Fredrick) Van Horn: Lea, b. 12/25/1781; bapt. 1/27/1782 (DRC:60) Sponsors: Hendk. Van Horen and Orietje Fredrick."
      A separate baptismal record is also found: Henderick and Elizabeth (Van Horn) Van Horn: Jacobus, b. 5/2/1774 (DRC:29). Sponsors: Frans Van Hoorn and Elizabeth Vanhoorn."
      My question is who is Orietje and is this a name which translates to one of the already known Frederick Children? Could this be Elizabeth Frederick? Except for these two entries, I have not found any other references to a Hendrick Van Horn. Follow up: Orietje may be a diminutive form of Ortrude per family history consultant at FHL.
      Take a look at the actual church record (not transcription) to see if Mair is actually Van Horne.
