      BIRTH:
      1. 7 Nov 2007 Http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/columbia/columbiabap1.html:
      "The Baptismal Records of the Reformed Church of Columbia, New York, spanning the years 1806 through 1826, were contributed by Laura Perkins... which are available for viewing at the Utica Public Library. All spellings are original. Copied by Mrs. M. M. Hatch, South Columbia, NY, through the courtesy of Mrs. Hatch, (Mrs. Thomas D.) Corinne Wheeler Watkins, NSDAR #57999 and (Mrs. Charles E.) Elizabeth A. M. Merritt, DSDAR #178296. Some of the original records have passed out of existence since the copies were made by Mrs. Hatch. - Judy Breedlove, Asst. County Coordinator, March 1999. Baptismal Records of the Reformed Church of Columbia, 1806-1816; Columbia Center, Herkimer County, New York; Organized 1798:
      "Frederick, Herriot, daughter of Philip Frederick and Getty Germont, b. 9 Jun, bapt. 25 Jul. Sponsors: Parents, of German Flatts."
      [Note: At this time period there was only one Philip Frederick listed per the 1810 census in German Flatts. The mother's name of Getty is probably phonetic for Caty and probably short for Catherine.]
