- 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.
CHRISTENING:
1. From my visit to the Montgomery Co., NY Archives 20 Sep 2007: Records of the Trinity Church Parish, vols. 67-72, Rev. John Ogilvie, 1749 to 1764; note that he traveled up from New York City to minister in frontier recording these baptismal entries under the location "Mohawks" to parents Philip Frederick and wife Sophia Salts [unsure if they are birth or baptism - I would guess baptismal]:
A. 26 Aug 1753, Francis.
B. 21 Jan 1755, Hannah.
2. LDS IGI name extraction per FHL film 1002776, FHL book 974.7 B2N V. 67-69, batch C510591: Hannah Frederick, bp. 21 Jan 1755, parents Philip Frederick and Sophia Salts.
MARRIAGE:
1. Some have Christian Plank married to this Hannah. Plank family genealogy shows Christian marrying Hanna (Anna), the daughter of Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young - not this Hanna who would have been 22 years his senior.
ACTION:
1. 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, unknown, 1917, 748 pgs., has the following births to parents Christoffel Forncrook and Anna/Annatje Frederick. I am not sure who Anna Frederick may be, but the best option is her being Hannah, daughter of Philip Frederick. Being that she had her first child in 1776, she would have had to be married by 1775 - assuming an average female age of 18, her birth would have probably been no later than 1757. With the exception of Barent who was born in 1739, Philip's uncles would not be candidates for her father since all were born from 1743 on. Barent Frederick would also be eliminated since he did not marry until 1771. Philip's daughter, Hanna, was born 1755 which positions her well. Need to confirm if Annatje can be translated as Hanna. Birth/baptism entries follow. None of the sponsors help solve this except for Peter and Lena [Magadalena] Frederick who could be siblings of Anna. Also one of her boys is named Philip which may in honor of her father Philip. Please note that in the first four entries below for Christoffel, "Forncrook" are written in pencil over the surname:
A. Christoffel Forbutuer and Annatje Frederick: Eva, b. 7 Feb 1776. Sp: Peter Frederick, Lena Frederick.
B. Christoffel Ferington and Annatje Frederick: Catrina, b. 21 Aug 1778. No sponsors listed.
C. Christoffel Crugh and Anna Frederic: Hendrick, b. 20 Jul 1782. Sp: Hendrick Pruyn and wife.
D. Christoffel Crugh and Anna Frederick: Lena, 2 weeks old, bp. 13 Jul 1785. Sp: Jurry Yong, Lena Yong.
E. Christoffel Crugh and Anna Frederick: Else, b. 5 Apr 1787. Sp: John Quesse??, Catrina Quesse??.
F. Christophel Forncrook and Annatje Frederick: Philip, b. 29 Jan 1794. No sponsors listed.
[Note: Henry Van Horne, brother to Cornelius and Thomas who married daughters of Philip Frederick, Eve and Maria, married Sophia Fornicook of Schoharie Creek area. Any relation to the above?]
