Research Notes

Discrepancies between FS and Find a Grave run deep with this family. Husband is Johannes S Schoonmaker 1755-1836 according to FS; but Find a Grave has Johannes Samuel Schoonmaker 1768-1836

There are so many discrepancies among the children I'm concerned there may be two families conflated. Perhaps better to wait on working further.

  • Note: Marriage Records (1660-1809); Baptism Records (1660-1809); Burial Records (1696-1881). The Kingston Reformed Dutch Church was the central repository for all records of marriages and baptism conducted by circuit-rider Domines throughout Ulster and Orange counties of NY; Sussex County, NJ, and parts of Pike County, PA, until local churches were built and staffed. This occurred between 1735 and 1745 depending on the area.
