- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. The booklet on the Frederick family by Mrs. Alida Reed of Gloversville, NY, 1957 (she died Dec 1966) with copies at the Montgomery Co., NY, Archives and a microfilmed copy on FHL film 1312457, item 4). Alida descends through Hans Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young and their son George:
"George, b. 11 Jan, 1775, d. 5 Nov 1824, age 49 years, 9 months and 25 days; md. Catherine Cag of Johnstown, 21 Feb 1803, by the Rev. Abraham Van Horne, at the Dutch Reformed Church, Caughnawaga (Fonda), NY, vol. 1, pg. 190. Catharine was born 20 Jun, 1784.
George Frederick's Will made Oct. 29, 1824, probated 18 Dec 1824; he names his wife and oldest son executors, and mentions all of his children. Book of Wills, no. 1, p. 381, Fulton County Surrogate's office, Johnstown, NY.
George Frederick bought land of Daniel Cower of Keck Center in 1792, and later we find many real estate deals in and around Keck Center and Ephratah. So he must have left his wife and children well taken care of.
Both George and his wife Catherine are buried in the Adam Frederick Cemetery, Fulton Co.

a. Margaret (Peggy) b. 9 Jul 1804. Sp. Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young, grandparents.

BIRTH:
1. The actual birth place is unknown. Both Jacob Frederick and Margaret Young were of Warrensbush (now Florida Township) in Montgomery Co. They both did eventually end up in Johnstown, which is about 10 miles max from Mill Point and north across the Mohawk River. When they moved is not known except that they did buy land there at Keck Center in 1792. They may have been paying quit-rent on the property before then since it was about the early 1790 when many of the landowners were finally selling the quit-rented land. Alida Reed in her booklet already referenced elsewhere in these note indicates she believes they moved there shortly after the birth of their first child Peter. She is confident that it may have been no later than when Margaret was born in 1785 because the sponsors at Margaret's birth were Jacob Bossert and his wife Margaret. She says, "In the genealogy of the Bossart family (sometimes spelled Boshart and Bushart) we find the first of that family did live in the section of Johnstown that leads to Fonda. So they were probably neighbors." I currently use "of Warrensbush."
DEATH:
1. The book "Compendium of Mohawk Valley Families," by Maryly Penrose, p. 282: "Probate abstract. Frederick, George, (of Johnstown), will dated 10/29/1824; probated 12/18/1824.
