- 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:
A. "George, bap. 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 n 1792, and later we find many real esate 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.

B. "The original names seems to have been Caghey, shortened to Cag, Cagg, Kag, Keg, and and Kegg. In the book, 'New York in the Revolution,' by Roberts, we find many of the Cag family in the 15th Regiment of Albany County Militia... the first settler in Johnstown by the name of Cag was Andrew. He was born 1750. His death record in St. John's Episcopal Church record in Johnstown, NY says: Andrew Cag died 2 Jun 1825, age 75. We do not know his wife's name, but his children were: [lists George, Margarite, Celestia, Catherine who married George Frederick and Moses.]"
C. "Adam's mother, Catherine Cag Frederick, lived with Adam and his wife, Sally, until her death 1 Oct 1865, in her 84th year. They buried her in the farm Cemetery beside her husband, our George." Adam's farm was at Keck Center.
2. Mentioned in probate of husband. The book "Compendium of Mohawk Valley Families," by Maryly Penrose, p. 282: "Probate abstract.
