Lydia married Job Tripr, about 1788 Deborah married David Lynch. T>hi-»ho morHM An"lla McI)ori$)ld Ifi May 1793. Rachel married Pardon Sherman. Rebecca married Benjamin Water- man. Sally married a Hammond. Esther married Henry Bradt. Amy married .oari us Hune 13 Sept. 1804. We are interested in learning more about these daughters, particularly as to whether they had a brother, David White. A Henry H. Bradt and wife Feather sold land m Albany to •Oerritt T Bradt in 1826. Henry H. and C.errit T. were the sons of a Henry Bradt who died 1820. We had iiopeu iu liuu a wiue concerning uui Henry Bradt in the Bradt articles published recently in the Enterprise. David T.y n r.h, Job Tripp and Par- don Sherman were al' ''ving in Du- anesburgh in 1800 according to the census. A Jared Reynolds and w,fe Betsey conveyed land in Westerlo, Albany county in 182-1. His will pro- hated in 1850 mentions second wife, Kezia. Did Jesse White of Duanesburgh have a son David, born 18 Dec. 1771, who married in 17&0 Mary, daughter -of Jehiel and Margaret Ferris? Jehiel Ferris lived in Duanesburgh accord- ing to the 1790 census, with one other male over 16, two male:i under 16 and three females. In 1800 Jehiel Ferris and his son in law David White were living in Wysox township, Bradford county, Pa. David and Mary (Ferris) White had children: Margaret, Silas, Mary, Jesse, Deborah, Phebe, David, Jr. and Jane. The children of Jesae White, Jr. who married Sarah Vine and lived in Guilderiand, N. Y. were Elizabeth, Deborah, Amy, Sarah, David, John, Christopher, Jesse, Esther Jane, Ra- chel, Julia and Silas. The evidence indicates that the David White who married Mary Ferris was the son of Jesse White, Senior Facts either proving or disproving this relation- ship will be greatly appreciated. We are satisfied that David White was not the son of either of the other two Whites living in Duanesburgh in 1790. Ichabod White died in 180J and his will is recorded at Schenectady. It mentions wife Rebecca and children Edward, Hannah, Ichabod, John, Aaron and Rachel. Aaron White was the head of a family in 1790 hut he EYSAMAN Aa I havt.- been a reader of your pa- per I would like to ask through its c Junius about the Eysamflns. 1 have been told that Stephen Eysaasan and others arc juried ou lire uiu iii.ysuii.au homestead which contained 300 acres.

Heinrieh j Brodt and wife Catty nee Gems had I a son Heinrieh born Feb. 23, 1789, I baptised March 6, 1789, sponsors Heinr. Krems and wife Anna. This date of birth is probably nearer cor- rect then the Bible date. In the same, record there is the name Brodt hav- ing a child baotised Aug. 29, 1790. This was probably the second' child. *— atnarmc. rnc page m i.ae rtuutu was probably torn or the ink faded. Heinrieh Brodt and wife Catherina nee Krems had A."n% born Jan. 20, 1793. Sponsors, John Eyssler and An- na Krems. This birth date checks with the Bible but child is called An- na which is the same name as Nan- cy in the Bible. Oh say! What a joke it would be on us all if Henry liratt of Canajoharie and wife Cath- arina were the parents of Henry who married Catherine Krems and Leah who married John Walrad, please note the following: Henry Bratt and wife Catharina were the parents of a son Peter born 1781, sponsors Peter Failing and wife Eva.

Question and answer page. Subscription $2.00 per year. Published by Thomas J. Foley, Akron, N. T. THE SIMMENDINGER REGISTER (1717) Translated from the German by Rev. II. L. Vesper This remarkable translation issued in pamphlet form and soon to appear serially in the paper, probably early in Jan- uary. It will be a twenty to twenty-four page pamphlet fibre bound, printed in English from the original German. A fae-simile of the German titie page will be given and the chapter ornaments will be reproduced from Lire o r i g i n a l . These quaint tail pieces done in t 1 •- heavy strokes of the German artists of the 18th century are ve 1-; effective. The pamphlet contain- a fore- word by the author, Ulrich Simmindinger who tells of crossing from the Rhineland to England and thence to the New World. He details his seven years' stay in the country and his return to the land of his birth. He explains his motive for preparing the book which was to advise the friends and relatives of those far- away Palatines who were beyond the great sea and states that the appended list is all of those now (1717) remaining in the new country. The list itself is very informative. Names appear which for the tirst time are definitely identified with the Palatine culture. Locations are given which were not before known to historians. For instance Simmindinger mentions by name eleven feparate camps in this state besides two in New Jersey and New York City. Previously only four were known. It is now for the first time revealed who were inhabitants of the East Camp and other camps not previously known. Its value as a historical docu- ment cannot be measured. The work has been carefully translated by Rev. Herman Vesper. No attempt has been made to change the original spelling. The namei however have been classified alphabetically which facilitate* research. Every library in this state should possess this pamphlet. Evary descendant of the sturdy Palatines will find this publication an absorbing item. Ready for delivery in December. Orders accepted now. Price $1.50 Special discount to libraries.

May 1793. Rachel married Pardon Sherman. Rebecca married Benjamin Water­

man. Sally married a Hammond. Es the r married Henry Bradt. Amy married .oari us Hune 13 Sept.

1804. We are interested in learning more

about these daughters, particularly a s to whether they had a brother, David White. A Henry H. Bradt and wife Feather sold land m Albany to

•Oerritt T Bradt in 1826. Henry H. and C.errit T. were the sons of a Henry Bradt who died 1820. We had i iopeu iu l iuu a wiue c o n c e r n i n g uui Henry Bradt in the Bradt articles published recently in the Enterprise.

David T.ynr.h, Job Tripp and Par­don Sherman were al' ' 'ving in Du-anesburgh in 1800 according to the census. A Jared Reynolds and w,fe Betsey conveyed land in Westerlo, Albany county in 182-1. His will pro-hated in 1850 mentions second wife, Kezia.

Did Jesse White of Duanesburgh have a son David, born 18 Dec. 1771, who married in 17&0 Mary, daughter -of Jehiel and Margaret Ferr is? Jehiel Ferris lived in Duanesburgh accord­ing to the 1790 census, with one other male over 16, two male:i under 16 and three females. In 1800 Jehiel Ferris and his son in law David White were living in Wysox township, Bradford county, Pa.

David and Mary (Ferris) White had children: Margaret, Silas, Mary, Jesse, Deborah, Phebe, David, Jr. and Jane. The children of Jesae White, J r . who married Sarah Vine and lived in Guilderiand, N. Y. were Elizabeth, Deborah, Amy, Sarah, David, John, Christopher, Jesse, Es ther Jane, Ra­chel, Julia and Silas. The evidence indicates that the David White who marr ied Mary Ferr is was the son of Jesse White, Senior Facts either proving or disproving this relation­ship will be greatly appreciated. We a r e satisfied tha t David White was not the son of either of the other two Whites living in Duanesburgh in 1790. Ichabod White died in 180J and his will is recorded at Schenectady. I t mentions wife Rebecca and children Edward, Hannah, Ichabod, John, Aaron and Rachel. Aaron White was the head of a family in 1790 hut he

In the census of 1800, town of Pal­at ine I find John and James , but not tiamuel Biilington. '

Perhaps LHUL. James Biilington was killed in the Revolutionary war.

... «»/-,,.> ,, fvH&aiSi y# AURATri Referring the unsigned, but very in- '

teresting Bradt article in the Enter- i prise of Jan. 16, 1935 in regard to the ' Bible record so kindly submitted by Mrs. Goodell giving the family record of Henry Broat and wife Catharine Krems, will say that I only have two j records of birth of children which I | recopy to correct an error. Heinrieh j Brodt and wife Catty nee Gems had I a son Heinrieh born Feb. 23, 1789, I baptised March 6, 1789, sponsors Heinr. Krems and wife Anna. This date of birth is probably nearer cor­rect then the Bible date. In the same, record there is the name Brodt hav­ing a child baotised Aug. 29, 1790. This was probably the second' child. *— atnarmc. rnc page m i.ae rtuutu was probably torn or the ink faded.

Heinrieh Brodt and wife Catherina nee Krems had A."n% born Jan. 20, 1793. Sponsors, John Eyssler and An­na Krems. This birth date checks with the Bible but child is called An­na which is the same name as Nan­cy in the Bible. Oh say! What a joke it would be on us all if Henry l i ra t t of Canajoharie and wife Cath-ar ina were the parents of Henry who married Catherine Krems and Leah who married John Walrad, please note the following: Henry Brat t and wife Catharina were the parents of a son Peter born 1781, sponsors Peter Failing and wife Eva.
