door to Abraham's mother and brother. Abraham was a farm laborer then with personal property valued at $150. In 1870, he was living near the same location, but now his farm was valued at $20,000 and his personal property worth $4,000. In 1880, he was still at the same location.

Abraham, though primarily a farmer, channelled some of his land and energies toward horse racing. Shortly after the Civil War, he had developed a half-mile track known as the Poughkeepsie Driving Park, located "a short distance from this city on the plank road."

In Apr 1872, a movement was started to organize a "Hudson River Agricultural and Mechanical Association" to lay out an elaborate fair grounds and racing track to serve as a rallying place for all the central Hudson River counties. This association was never incorporated and disbanded within a year. Soon it was reorganized as the "Hudson River Agricultural and Driving Park Association," and included some of the original organizers. This group negotiated with Abraham to purchase his track and further develop the site.

On 14 Jan 1874 [deed book 176:158], Abraham agreed to sell the property for $18,350 to Edwin Storm, Otis Bisbee, and L.L. Hutchins. They acted as a committee on behalf of the Hudson River Agricultural and Driving Park Association. The property was described as follows:

West by lands of Homer A. Nelson.North by South East Avenue.East by the Spackenkill Road.South by a "line drawn from the SE corner of Nelson's land to the Spackenkill

Road - which line shall be extended southerly on lands of Vanderburgh from the corner of Nelson's land so far as to include and make 25 acres ... "exclusive of the old Vanderburgh Family Burying Ground."

The following payment schedule was agreed to: $1,500 by 1 Apr 1874; $1,500 by 4 May 1874; and the balance by 1 Jul 1874. At that time, Abraham was to deliver a deed to the office of John B.K. Tallman of Poughkeepsie, unless Storm, Bisbee, and Hutchins indicated that one half of the purchase money could remain on the premises on bond & mortgage. The bond or mortgage would remain in effect for 3 years from 1 May 1874.

Abraham retained the possession of the premises until 1 Apr 1874 and the house and buildings until 4 May 1874 at which time full possession would transfer. In case of payment default, the property would revert back to Abraham. On 30 Jun 1874 [190:598], Abraham Vanderburgh and Adeline completed the property transfer. The boundaries were more specifically described as follows:

Beginning at a point in the intersecton of the center of the Spackenkill Road with the center of South East Avenue.

Then along the center of South East Ave. N 59 1/4 degrees W 798 6/10 feet.Then S 19 degrees, 35 minutes W 1,310 8/10 feet.Then S 77 degrees, 30 minutes E 1,074 feet to the center of the Spackenkill Rd.Then along the center of the road N 14 degrees E 169 feet.Then N 72 degrees, 30 minutes W 98 feet.Then N 3 degrees W 69 1/2 feet.Then S 81 degrees, 30 minutes E 100 feet to the center of the

Spackenkill Rd.

7gen1, 22 Jun 98 9

Then along the center of the road N 2 degrees, 45 minutes E 899 feet to the beginning.

25 acres, exclusive of the Vanderburgh Family burying Ground.

Excepted from the conveyance was a mortgage given by Vanderburgh to [Codarries H. Coceks?] dated 24 Jun 1874 to secure the payment of $10,000 with interest. The Driving Park Assn. agreed to assume and pay a portion of the unpaid purchase money.

Now under new ownership, the Driving Park opened in Oct 1874. New York Governor John A. Dix attended, conducting a review of the regiments of the 5th Division, New York State National Guard. This was followed by the Association's first annual fair. However, the Association was short-lived. Subsequent to 13 Apr 1878 it was dissolved by the New York State Supreme Court [199:19-20]. Many court actions followed.

In 1879, James H. Weeks sued the Association for non-payment of a mortgage due him. John P.H. Tallman, a Court appointed referee in the matter sold some of the Association's property to settle the debt. On 25 Nov 1879 [199:360], Tallman, at public auction, sold back the 25 acres to Abraham for $3,700. Once again, the transaction specifically excluded the Vanderburgh family burial ground.

On 29 Jan 1880 [199:362], for $8,000, Rhoda D. Mott conveyed more land to Abraham that had been owned by the Association:

Beginning in the center of the Hackensack Road in theNW corner of the lot, said corner being 36 perches [links]N from a stake in the S side of the Hackensack Road and2 chains, 8 links E from a line in range with the centerof a gateway and the peak of house formally occupied byClarkson Underhill and now known as the Club House.

From the beginning, S 58 degrees, 45 minutes E alongthe center of the Hackensack Road 15 chains, 4 links to lands of A. Vanderburgh; W along his line S 20 degrees,30 minutes W 19 chains, 86 links to the SW corner of thelot; N 73 1/4 degrees W 8 links to an angle in the fence;S 83 degrees W 6 chains, 90 links to a stake in a cornerof lands belonging to Mr. Smiley; along the same S 9 degreesW 48 links to a stake; along the same N 68 degrees W 10 chains,50 links to the SW corner of the lot and SE corner of a 12 acrelot; along the E line thereof N 24 degrees, 15 minutes E 26chains, 23 links to the beginning.37 acres, 3 roods, 18 rods of land, the same conveyed to RhodaMott by deed of J.H. Weeks, referee dated 20 Dec 1879.

On 2 Feb 1880 [199:364], Charles Kirchner and wife sold more of the property previously owned by the Association to Abraham for $3,005. Excepted out of the transaction was a $5,000 mortgage made by Clarkson Underhill and wife to the Poughkeepsie Savings Bank dated 20 Jun 1868 [mortgage book 119:453]:

7gen1, 22 Jun 98 10

Land bounded by a line beginning at a stake set in theS line of the road from Poughkeepsie to Hackensack at apoint 2 chains, 8 links E from the range of a line drawnfrom the peak of the Moses Frost's house, through the center ofthe front gateway, to the S line of the road; along the S lineof the road N 59 degrees, 50 minutes W 4 chains 54 1/2 links toa stake; S 23 degrees W 26 chains 59 links to a stake set in theN line of Smiley's farm; along the same S 69 degrees, 15 minutesE 4 chains, 50 links to a stake; N 23 degrees E 25 chains, 87 links to the beginning. 12 acres.

This transaction also included one half of the road infront of the premises. These premises were the same conveyedby Allison Bretts, referee, to Charles Kirchner by deed dated 17 Dec 1879.

On the same day, 2 Feb 1880 [199:366], Abraham and his wife sold for $5,850 half of the property he had purchased from Rhoda Mott on 29 Jan 1880 [199:362] containing 37 acres, 3 roods, 18 rods. This parcel was subject to a mortgage of 29 Jan 1880 for $7,000, given by Abraham Vanderburgh to Rhoda D. Mott. Half of the mortgage was assumed by Charles Kirchner.

This deed also contained additional land composed of half of 25 acres adjoining the above on the east. This acreage, exclusive of the Vanderburgh family burying ground, was part of Abraham's original property and part of the same conveyed to Abraham from John P.H. Tallman on 27 Dec 1879 [199:360].

On 1 May 1885 [221:149], Guy C.H. Corliss, as referee in the following matter, formerly conveyed property to Edwin Thorne of Washington, Dutchess Co., NY. As a result of a NY Supreme Court action at Poughkeepsie on 16 Feb 1885, it was ordered that regarding a proceeding between Charles Kirchner and Caroline, his wife plaintiffs and Abram Vanderburgh and Adaline, his wife; Tristram Coffin as sole executor of the will of George W. Farrington, deceased; Ludwig Petillon as administrator of the estate of Catharine Petillon, deceased; and David Stoutenburgh defendants, that the below mentioned premises be sold at public auction. On 4 Apr 1885 Guy C.H. Corliss sold at public auction for $22,025 to Edwin Thorne the following parcels of land:

First Parcel. The same 12 acres conveyed by Allison Butts, referee to Charles Kirchner on 17 Dec 1879 [198:507]; and by Charles Kirchner and wife on 2 Feb 1880 [199:364] to Abraham Vanderburgh.

Second parcel. 25 acres, exclusive of the Vanderburgh burying ground. The same property sold to Abram Vanderburgh by John P.H. Tallman, referee, on 27 Dec 1879 [199:360].

Third parcel. Land in Poughkeepsie, part of the property formerly owned by the Hudson River Agricultural and Driving Park Association. It was the same premises conveyed by Rhoda D. Mott to Abram Vanderburgh on 29 Jan 1880, [199:362].

The Driving Park property finally passed to Jacob Ruppert of New York City. Ruppert was in possession of the Hudson River Driving Park by 14 Jun 1888 when he

7gen1, 22 Jun 98 11

drew up articles of agreement [236:280] with the Dutchess County Agricultural Society. Under the agreement, Ruppert leased the Driving Park for six days in October or September for 10 successive years to the Dutchess County Agricultural Society for the purpose of holding their annual fair. Ruppert still owned the property in 1905, located near the present [1992] intersection of Hooker Ave. and Cedar Ave. in Poughkeepsie.

Abraham died on 2 Mar 1889 and his wife died the following year. Both are buried in the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. Child:

to James for $300. This probably meant that James was charged with taking care of his parents in their later years.

On 29 Apr 1847, deed 38:289, Miles Johnson and Anna, his wife of Hunter, Greene Co. sold for $800 to James 131 3/4 acres in Lexington which were part of the Southerly half of Lot No. 38 in Great Lot No. 20 Hardenburgh Patent. On 1 Apr 1850, deed 44:375, James and his wife, Marilla for $900 sold part of this same property to William Earle of Lexington.

In 1850, James and his family were still living in the Halcott portion of Lexington. On 19 Nov 1851, the Greene County Board of Supervisors reviewed a petition for the erection of the town of Halcott. The New York State Legislature approved it, and on 6 Apr 1852 the first Halcott town meeting was held in James' house. During this meeting the town's board of officers was elected and included James as a clerk.

James' wife, Marilla died on 15 May 1852 at the age of 32 years, one month, and six days and is buried in the Halcott Cemetery, Halcott, Greene Co., NY. Later that same year on 4 Sep 1852, James married, second, SARAH P. CROSBY who was born in Lexington about 1830, the daughter of Benjamin Lewis Crosby and Huldah Hull. Sarah was a first cousin to Marilla, James' first wife.

Still residing in Halcott, James and his wife, Sarah on 23 Nov 1852, deed 51:349, for $80 sold land to Jonathan C. Allaben of Middletown, Delaware County. Next on 15 Feb 1859, deed 55:223, they sold for $3,000 to Ezekiel Kelly of Roxbury, Delaware Co., NY 108 acres in Halcott known as Lot No. 7 in subdivision No. 36 in Great Lot No. 20 of the Hardenburgh patent. Excepted out was the Church lot. Also included in this transaction was another lot bordering the church lot that Levi Ellis lived on.

The following year, 1860, James and Sarah were living at Pine Hill, Shandaken, Ulster Co., NY. Here, James was employed as a master tanner with real estate valued at $2,500 and personal property worth $3,000.

In 1861, James and his family moved to La Salle Co., Illinois. He remained there four years, whereupon he moved to Rock Island Co., IL where he resided until 1875. Then he went to Shelby Co., Iowa and purchased 160 acres of land. He was the first settler in the neighborhood, there being no house east of his place in the county. The nearest house was five miles away. Out of the wilderness, James developed a farm that became one of the best in his township. He had a good residence surrounded by a grove of maples, and an orchard, a large barn, and other farm buildings.

James died on 21 Jan 1903 at Manning, Jackson Township, Carroll Co., IA. Children:

In an affidavit filed 27 Sep 1880, he withdrew that part of his claim which referred to the shell wound of the head, since he could not furnish the necessary proof.

After the war, Stephen was a farmer and resided in the town of Nanticoke, Broome Co., NY from 17 Jun 1865, his date of discharge from the army, to 1 May 1878. From 1 May 1878 to April 1879, he resided in Maine, Broome Co., NY.

XX. JAMES WILSEY7 VANDEBURG (James J.6, John5, Peter4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of James J. Vandeburg and Hannah Steinhart, was born on 26 Aug 1814, probably in Columbia County, New York.47 On 5 Feb 1815, he was baptized in the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, Nassau, Rensselaer Co., NY.

James was raised on his parents’ farm in Wayne County, NY. In 1835, he went to Calhoun Co., MI where he bought 160 acres in section eight, it being the east half of the northeast quarter and west half of the northeast quarter. At that time he made no improvements on the land and returned home to New York. In the fall of 1838, he came back to Michigan, and between that time and the next spring made numerous improvements. He built a house made of logs hewn smooth on the inside and left rounded on the exterior. He also cleared a small piece of ground, and then went back after his family.

James had married in New York State, prior to 1838, MABEL MACKEY, who was born in England about 1816. In the fall of 1839, James, his wife, and infant daughter left New York for their permanent home in Michigan.

In 1840, 1850, and 1860, they lived at Clarendon, Calhoun Co., MI where James was a farmer. In 1860, their post office address was at Homer in Calhoun County. The village of Homer was incorporated in 1871, and at its first election of corporated officers, James was one of six trustees. By 1877, James accumulated 320 acres of land within the Homer Township.

James died in Homer on 11 Aug 1888 at the age of 74. Children:

Bradley. In 1850, they were living at Clarendon, Calhoun Co., MI where Lyman was a farmer and blacksmith. Living with them was Fanny's father, Stephen Bradley, age 66 and born in Massachusetts.

At the age of 40, Lyman stood five feet, five inches tall, and had a dark complexion, dark eyes, and brown hair when he joined the Union cause during the Civil War. He served as a private in Company "C" 11th Regiment of Michigan Volunteers and was enrolled on 21 Feb 1865 at Tekonsha for one year. He mustered out with the company at Nashville, TN on 16 Sep 1865, still with the rank of private.

After the war, Lyman returned to farming in Tekonsha on 80 acres of land that his father had purchased and willed to Lyman's wife and children. Lyman abandoned his blacksmith trade after the war due to his physical deteriation. He received a pension for chronic diarrhea and piles contracted while serving in Tennesee. He had also claimed that at Cleveland, TN about the last of July 1865, he was shoeing a mule in a blacksmith shop when the mule jerked and strained his abdomen. By January 1880, Lyman stated that his abdomen was still affected by the incident. However, his claim for this injury was denied.

Fanny predeceased her husband by 1899. Lyman was still living at Tekonsha in this year. By 1900, he had moved to the town of Athens where at the age of 75, he resided with his daughter, Maria Broas and her family. Children:

In 1850, Lydia resided at Prattsville, NY with her two young daughters. In 1860, Lydia was residing on her father's farm in Lexington where her occupation was given as "taylorett(?)".

Notes/comments:

7gen1, 22 Jun 98 22

residing at Whitesburgh in Herkimer Co., NY, James and Julia sold to Julia's brother, John, land in Prattsville.

Evidently, James died or left his family around 1859, since Julia and her supposed children were living with her father in 1860. Julia was still living in Lexington in 1868.

Julia, like her sister, Lydia, subsequently moved to Adrian, Michigan where she died on 24 Aug 1873. She is buried in the Lexington, NY Cemetery. Probable children:

(WHITE surname)i. John, b. ca. 1842. A clerk in Lexington in 1860.ii. Brittian(?), b. ca. 1844. A clerk in Lexington in 1860.iii. Robert, b. ca. 1846.iv. Charles, b. ca. 1851.

XX. HENRY7 VANDERBURGH (Lewis6, Henry5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______, was born on 31 Aug 182456 probably at home in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., NY. In 1850, he was the only one of Lewis' sons living on the family farm with his father.57 By the mid-1850s, Henry moved to Westchester County, NY where on 30 Jul 1854 at Yonkers, he married ADELAIDE NODINE. She was born on 15 Nov 1839, the daughter of George and Ann Eliza Nodine of Yonkers.58 In 1860, Henry, Adelaide, and sons, Henry and William were living in Yonkers where Henry was employed as a fisherman and had an estate worth $750. Also residing with Henry were Peter Vanderburgh, a hatter, age 21, and Eliza Vanderburgh, age 9.59 By 1870, Henry was no longer living in the town or village of Yonkers.

1. The birth date of Julia is in question. Pat Morrow, Windham Town Historian, found an age of 34 at date of death. The DAR records give her age as 51, and the NEHGR of 1938 gives her age as 54. The 1860 census says she was 40 in 1860. In light of some of the census records, I suspect that the NEHGR date is closest to the actual age.

2. A check of the 1870 census for Adrian (town and city), Lenawee County, Michigan did not reveal a "Julia White" living there in 1870.56 "Old Vanderburgh Document." (This document was given to the New York State Archives by Howard A. Thomas of Long Island City, NY who pioneered Vanderburgh research in the 1940s and 1950s. The document contains, in part, the births and deaths of Lewis Vanderburgh's family. Other sources confirm many of the dates in the document, making it very reliable. The document was written not earlier than 1856, the date of the latest entry. The document was probably written by Hulda Rachel (Vanderburgh) Day, 1853-1927, of Glidden, IA. Hulda was a great grandaughter of Henry Vanderburgh. Hulda's grandaughter, Zelma B. (Ramey) Steigerwalt, 1907-1982, provided the document to Howard A.

When Henry died is not known. However, he died prior to 1900. In 1900, Adelaide was a widow living with her son, Henry L. and his family.60 There is a strong possibility that Henry died before 1880.61 Children:62

The marriage was performed by Rev. W. H. Ten Eyck.65 David and his wife were probably still living in Hyde Park in 1850.66

Where David and his family were living in 1860 is not known. However, in 1865 they were residing in the town of Clinton, Dutchess County where David was employed as a harness maker and farmer and had an estate worth $50.67 He had purchased a farm from William Burnett the previous year on the west side of the road to Hibernia, NY.68

David died on 7 Apr 1893 in Whippany, Hanover township, NJ. He had resided there for five years prior to his death. He fell to his death at night when he tumbled from an upper story window of Fullerton's Hotel. He died an hour afterward. He had been drinking for a day or two. It was supposed that he attempted to leave his room in the dark and in his bewilderment opened the window instead of the door.69

A search of the 1880 NY Census Soundex for Vanderburgh and Vandenburgh was made to try and locate Henry. A review of those who had the head of household listed as Adalaide, Henry, and William was made. Maybe he died in NYC.62 Census, 1860, NY, Westchester Co., Yonkers, page 252.

MARTIN7 VANDERBURGH (Lewis6, Henry5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______ , was born on 2 Jul 1828,80 probably at home in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County, NY where his father was a farmer. Martin was 5'6" tall, with a light complexion, hazel eyes, and brown hair.81 He is probably the Martin who is mentioned in the 27 Nov 1847 "Poughkeepsie Journal" newspaper as marrying CAROLINE LEE on the previous Thursday. The marriage for both of the Poughkeepsie residents was performed by Rev. L. F. Waldo.82 Two years later, Martin and Caroline had their daugher, Margaret Jane Myers, baptized on 1 Jul 1849 at St. James Episcopal Church in Hyde Park. Mrs. Ann Vanderburgh and the parents were sponsors. This Ann Vanderburgh was probably Martin's stepmother.83

What happened to Martin's wife and child by 1850 is not known.84 In that year, Martin is found, without his wife and child, residing in Newburgh with Caleb Osborn, a shoe maker, and his family. Martin's occupation at this time was that of a chair maker.85

Martin married, second, on 16 Mar 1856, LETITIA REYNOLDS,86 daughter of David Reynolds and Sarah Clark.87 The marriage occurred at the home of Stephen W. Brown in Cornwall, Orange County, NY. Abijah Dan, a Justice of the Peace for Orange County, officiated at the ceremony.88 Letitia was born in New York State about 1836.89 At the time of her marriage, she was a resident of Newburgh.90

In 1860 Martin resided in Newburgh with his family. He was still employed as a chair maker with an estate valued at $400.91

Two years later, Martin, like many of his contemporaries, joined the Union cause in the Civil War as a private in Company G, 168th Regiment of the New York State Volunteer Infantry (also known as the 19th NY State Militia Infantry). He gave his occupation as a painter when he joined for duty. He enrolled in the 168th on 20 Oct 1862 at Newburgh. He mustered into Company G on 23 Jan 1863 for a period of nine months. Martin accompanied the 168th when on 14 Feb 1863 it left for Baltimore, MD. Soon it moved to Norfolk, VA where it was attached to Busteed's Independent Brigade, 4th Army Corps, Department of Virginia until Apr 1863. Then it became part of King's Independent Brigade, 4th Army Corps to June 1863. During this entire period, the 168th served garrison duty at Yorktown, VA.

The 168th was next assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, 4th Army Corps to July 1863. During this time, Martin and his regiment participated in Dix's Peninsula Campaign from 24 June to 7 July. Then the regiment proceeded to Funkstown, MD. Martin was on duty until 11 Jul 1863 when he left the infantry at Frederick, Maryland on account of sickness and disabilities. He was still sick as of 31 Aug 1863. During his enlistment, Colonels Samuel Hunter and William R. Brown commanded the 168th Regiment.

Martin's illness and disabilities probably kept him out of action when his regiment joined the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 11th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac at Hagerstown, MD on 14 July. The regiment then participated in the pursuit of Gen. Lee's

84 Martin Vanderburgh's marriage to Caroline Lee is not without some questions. Martin's Civil War pension record emphatically states that he was married only once, and that was to Letitia Reynolds. However, evidence strongly supports a marriage to Carolyn Lee. Until more data either confirms or denies the first marriage, I believe that enough evidence exists to support it.85 Census, 1850, New York, Orange County, Newburgh, p 135.

forces to Masassas Gap, VA until 24 July. From that time on, the 168th performed guard duty along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad until Oct 1863. Martin was mustered out of service along with his regiment on 31 Oct 1863 at Newburgh.92

In 1870, Martin was back home in Newburgh.93 In 1880, Martin and his family were living on the north side of Ann Street in Newburgh.94

Martin applied for a civil War pension on 5 Jul 1890. In his claim, Martin stated that because of illness contracted during the Civil War, he had suffered from rheumatism from about 1883 or 1885. As a result, he was awarded a pension because his manual labor capabilities had decreased by 75 percent.95

Martin died at his home on 7 Edward St. in Newburgh on 2 Aug 1893. At the time of his death, Martin was working as a chair maker. He is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery at Newburgh in a burial plot purchased by the Ellis Post, Grand Army of the Republic. Thirty-nine other veterans are interred in the same plot.96

Martin's wife, Letitia applied for a widow's pension on 8 Aug 1893, which she received until her death on 4 Jan 1907.97 Children:98

EFFINGHAM7 VANDERBURGH (Lewis6, Henry5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______, was born on 30 Jun 1830.99 His birth occurred in Dutchess County, NY.100 On 22 May 1850, he married MARY YELVERTON in the Dutch Reformed Church at New Hackensack, NY.101 In August of that year they were living with Mary's family in Poughkeepsie where Effingham was working as a cabinet maker.102

By 1860, Effingham, Mary, and their five children were living in Newburgh, Orange Co., NY where Effingham was employed as an upholsterer.103

The Civil War encroached on Effingham's family, and he served two tours of duty. On 16 Aug 1861, he joined the 56th Regiment of New York Infantry which was organized at Newburgh. The Regiment mustered in 28 Oct 1861. Effingham joined Company B as a First Lieutenant and departed with the Regiment on 7 Nov 1861 for Washington, DC. The Regiment was on duty in the defense of Washington until Mar 1862. However, Effingham received a discharge at Washington, DC on 8 Feb 1862 after serving six months and 22 days.

Back home, the 5 foot, 5 1/2 inch, light haired, fair complexioned, blue-eyed Effingham took up the occupation of a cabinet maker. This lasted for two years until his next call to duty at Goshen, NY. Here, he enlisted as a sergeant on 29 Aug 1864 into

Captain Charles F. Hartman's Company I of the 1st Regiment of New York Engineers or "Serrell's Engineers." The Regiment had been organized at New York City and mustered in by companies. Company I mustered 13 Dec 1861, and joined by Companies G and K left New York the following day for Port Royal, SC. By April 1864, Companies I, A, C, and G were assigned to the District of Hilton Head, SC., 10th Army Corps, Department of the South. Here in South Carolina, Effingham probably joined his unit. He may have participated in the Hatch Expedition up Broad River, SC during 28-30 Nov 1864; the Battle of Honey Hill, 30 Nov; and engagements at Deveaux's Neck on 6 Dec. The Regiment continued with the Department of the South through 30 Jun 1865 when it mustered out. Three days later on 3 Jul 1865, Effingham received his discharge at Hilton Head after serving 10 months and four days, and returned to New York State.104

On 5 Aug 1875, Effingham's wife, Mary, died.105 The following year, he married on 14 Jun 1876 MARGARET M. LEWIS.

In 1877, Effingham and his family were living at Washingtonville, Orange County, NY. Three years later, he moved to the town of Florida, Warwick Township in Orange County. Here, he and his family made their final home as Effingham became an established cabinetmaker and undertaker.

In the eighteen nineties, many Civil War veterans became eligible for government pensions. Effingham not only received a pension, but also received special consideration from the US Government. In 1906 the US Senate's Committee on Pensions reviewed House of Representatives bill 19118 granting an increase of pension to Effingham. The House report stated in part:

"The soldier named in this bill, now 75 years of age, when honorably discharged; never applied for pension under the general law, but is now pensioned under the act of June 27, 1890, at $12 per month for total disability, the result of a complete left inguinal hernia and a right hydrocele.

From proof filed with the committee it appears that the soldier suffered a paralytic stroke in November, 1902, and that a year or so later he suffered a second stroke, requiring the aid and attendance of two persons; that while able to sit in a chair and having partial use of his arms he has no use whatever of his lower limbs, and that he has no property except the pension and the aid of his children.

Special legislation in behalf of this soldier is fully justified in view of his helpless condition and poverty, and is in line with numerous precedents. The passage of the bill is therefore recommended."

On 29 Jun 1906, Congress granted an increase to Effingham's pension and directed and authorized the Secretary of the Interior to increase his pension from $12 per month to $30 per month. The benefits were short lived, for Effingham died on 19 Oct 1906 in the town of Florida. He was buried at Washingtonville, NY on 22 Oct 1906. Over 50 years later, Emma A. Vernon Anderson, who knew Effingham, recalled his patriotism when in a statement dated 28 Mar 1958 she said "and could he make a rousing patriotic speech!"

Effingham's second wife, Margaret, had died on 24 Jul 1897, also at the town of Florida.106 Children:

Maria died on 11 Jan 1862 at the age of 28 and is buried in the Community Cemetery at Standfordville.116 After her death, Alonzo and his children boarded with the Thomas Merriot family, prosperous Quaker farmers in Stanfordville. Leaving the children in care of the Merriots, Alonzo left to serve in the Civil War. He was enrolled on 4 Oct 1862 in Company C, 150th Regiment of the New York State Volunteers. He was mustered out as a private on 8 Jun 1865 near Washington, DC. One of his more significant campaigns was serving in the battle at Gettysburgh.117 Immediately after his discharge, Alonzo returned to Dutchess County, was reunited with his three year old son, Herbert, and once again boarded in Stanford with Thomas Merriot and his family. Where Alonzo's six year old daughter, Ida, was residing at this time is not known.118

Alonzo remarried on 9 Dec 1865 at the Stanfordville Christian Church, HARRIET E. (SHEPHERD) LOVELACE, a widow of George Lovelace, who had two daughters by her first marriage. George Lovelace had been a friend of Alonzo's who had been killed in the war.119

Melissa married on 5 Oct 1853 at Arthursburgh, NY, ISAAC TITUS DONALDSON.126 He was born on 27 Jan 1831127 in NY State,128 the son of David and Mary (Greene) Donaldson.129 At the time of their marriage, they were both living in Poughkeepsie.130 In Nov 1857, Isaac leased a farm called "Grove Farm" from Dr. Ammi Dougleday in the vicinity of Binghamton, NY.131 How and why Isaac Donaldson found himself renting a farm from him is not known. However, Melissa's relatives may have had something to do with it. Her aunts, Margaret Vanderburgh and Frances (Vanderburgh) Sturges, (Mrs. John G.), were living in Binghamton about this time.132 They may have provided the link that brought Isaac and Melissa to Broome County from Dutchess County. Melissa's sister, Susan, who married Cornelius Davis, also settled in Binghamton, but probably at a later date.

By 1860, Isaac and Melissa were back in Dutchess County living with Isaac's brother, Abraham, in the town of Poughkeepsie.133 Two years later, Melissa died on 11 Apr 1862, and was buried in the Donaldson burial plot in the Quaker Cemetery at Crum Elbow, Hyde Park, NY.134 After her death, Isaac remarried and had several more children.

[Note: The 1850 census and subsequent census records, plus George's death certificate do not confirm the 1834 year of birth. The 1850 census gives his age as 14 (1836); 1860 shows age 22 (1838); 1880 shows age 39 4/12 (Feb 1841); 1900 gives the birth date as Sep 1848; and the 1909 death certificate gives age 61 (1848). The reason for the age discrepancies is not known. However, the old document in the NY State Archives has consistently been confirmed accurate for other children of Lewis Vanderburgh.

XX. JOHN K.7 VANDERBURG (Clyamon6, Peter5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Clyamon Vanderburgh and Roxanne Mitchell, was born on 10 Mar 1816 in Canada. He either accompanied his parents when they migrated to Iowa or followed them shortly thereafter. By 1842, he was in Iowa, where he married EMILY CULVER on 1 Jan 1843. Emily had been born in Ohio in Mar 1824.

They maintained their residence in Iowa until the year 1864, at which time John and his family crossed the plains to Oregon and settled at Marshfield, in Coos County. Here he purchased land on which he settled and continued to reside until 1880. Then he moved to the Siuslaw River country in Lane County and filed upon a government claim of one hundred and sixty acres, which he lived on for a number of years. After this, he sold the property and lived a retired life until the time of his death in 1888 in Lane County, OR. His wife, Emily, died in 1906. Evidently John dropped the "h" from his last name by the time he got to Oregon. John and Emily had ten children, five of whom where living after 1900:

XX. WILLIAM ADDISON7 HUGHSON (Pamela [Hamlin]6, Margaret [Vanderburgh]5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Pamela Hamlin and Elkanah Hughson, was born about 1813.208 He married around 1831, MARGARET DAY who was born in Nova Scotia on 24 Jan 1815, the daughter of William Day and Jane Arnold.

William Day was captain of a whaling ship that was lost at sea. His wife, Jane, survived him by only a few months. This left Margaret an orphan at about age 10. An aunt took her in for a short while before Margaret, at about age 14, went to live with her father's brother in Flushing, New York.

William Hughson was a young friend of Margaret's uncle. He and Margaret met while he was studying for the Methodist Ministry. At age 16, Margaret became William's wife. After residing at Flushing a short time, they removed to Sullivan Co., NY by 1840.209 On 1 May 1842, William purchased property in the town of Thompson from Seth and Lucy Allyn,210 establishing themselves on a farm near Monticello. In 1850, William and his family were still in Thompson, where William was a farmer with an estate valued at $1,600.211 During the 1850s William was an active Methodist. He "acted as supply under the presiding elder, serving charges in Sullivan and adjacent counties." By 1860, William was fully occupied as a Methodist preacher, having apparently turned over the management of his farm to his 22 year old son, John.212 William's first pastorate was at the "Wild Meadows," near Monticello. Though "Wild Meadows" was technically their home, the Reverend William was usually at home only one day a week having six other churches in which to preach. In later life, William moved on to other pastorates.

William died on 19 mar 1887 at the age of 74 years at Woodville, CT. At the time of his death, William was in his first year of pastorship at a Methodist Episcopal Church at or near Woodville. He was buried in Arlington Cemetery, Kearny, NJ on 23 Mar 1887. After her husband's death, Margaret made her home with her youngest daughter, Hattie. Margaret died on 7 Feb 1902 at the residence of Mrs. Annie Le Viness in Hartsdale, NY. Children:

XX. DAVID WILLIAMS7 VANDERBURGH (Frederick Hoffman6, Gabriel5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of Frederick Hoffman Vanderburgh and Caroline Williams, was born in New York City on 7 Dec 1841. As a youth, he accompanied his father to Port Huron, MI after his mother died. In the fall of 1861, he went from Port Huron to the University of Michigan Medical School. In the spring of 1862, he took a special course of lectures during which the surgeon of the Army notified the state governments that any medical student who wanted experience would be sent to hospitals in Washington. David was one of eight who accepted. He was first sent to Armory Square Hospital, then to Cranch Hospital and for a time was the only medical officer there at night. In Dec 1862, he went to Carver Hospital.

On Apr 13 1863, he received a telegram notifying him that his brother, Frank, had been wounded in a Civil War battle. The telegram also forwarded his commission as Assistant Surgeon of Volunteers of the 10th Regiment of Michigan Infantry at Nashville, TN. He joined the regiment on 29 Apr 1863 and became attached to Gen. Sheridan's divisions. He served during Sheridan's campaign's throughout the South until the summer of 1864. In August of that year, he left the Army and went home to Port Huron. He then graduated in medicine at Ann Arbor, MI and once again rejoined the Army, this

time as a surgeon at Ft. Gratiot near Port Huron. He remained with the 17th US Infantry until Aug 1866.

David left Michigan for Ilion, New York, soon after he ended his tour with the 17th Infantry. On 24 Jun 1869 in the Reformed Dutch Church at New Paltz, NY, he married KATHERINE ELTINGE. She was the daughter of Edmund Eltinge and Magdalen Days and had been born in New Paltz on 12 Apr 1844.

David and Katherine settled immediately at Ilion, NY for several years. Then about 1873, they moved to Fall River, MA where David continued his medical practice until his death at Fall River on 29 Aug 1910. His wife, Katherine, died at Quaker Hill, Pawling, NY on 21 Jul 1914. Children:

XX. GEORGE S.7 VANDERBURGH (James A.6, George W.5, James4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of James A. Vanderburgh and Maria S. Campbell, was born in Beekman, Dutchess County, NY on 10 Sep 1842. Evidently his birth took its toll on his mother since she died two months later. At the age of seven, he was living at home in Beekman with his father and stepmother. Six years later at age 13, his father passed away. This left him at home with his stepmother and his two infant half sisters. On 1 Oct 1861 at the age of 19, Hiram Haviland of Pawling was made his guardian. This legal action came a little late for any effective guardianship, for on 19 Aug 1861 George had married 24 year old FRANCIS M. PELTON. The marriage took place at Pawling and was performed by J. W. Stark, a justice of the peace.

With the Civil War gaining importance, George left his pregnant wife of three months and enlisted at Pawling on 12 Nov 1861 in Company A, 4th Regiment of New York Heavy Artillery Volunteers. He served continually for three years until his discharge at New York on 11 Nov 1864.

During the war, George was able to take one furlough home to visit his wife and infant daughter. After the war, George returned to Dutchess County. In a deposition later made by his wife, she said that: "On his return from the army he came to me and I was living with my mother ... in Poughkeepsie. I saw him when he came home. He stayed only a few days. Then he went to Pawling, NY on his farm with the understanding that I should come. He never sent for me and I never went. ... I never saw him after he left here in 1864."

The year 1865 found George residing without his family in Pawling, NY. Here, he lived and worked as a laborer and farmer with the William Trowbridge family. However, he did not remain long in Pawling. By 1867, he had relocated to Iowa, where on 6 June of that year he obtained a divorce from Francis in the District Court of Muscatine County. Although Francis had been apprised of the divorce proceeding, she opted not to contest it.

Mrs. Frank R. Jones, a next door neighbor to George's ex-wife, Francis, wrote a letter on 11 Nov 1912 to her cousin, Dr. W. W. Allegar a U. S. Department of Interior employee, asking for his help in obtaining a widow's pension for Francis. Francis had previously applied for a widow's pension in the mid-1890s but had been denied because of her divorce. In the letter, Mrs. Jones stated that while George was in Iowa, he "got a school teacher in trouble - was told he must get a divorce and marry the girl. This he did." The letter went on to say that "Mr. V. married the girl in Iowa ... then left her and

returned to his own place near Pawling. The woman he married in Iowa afterward obtained a divorce from him."

How long George remained in Iowa is not known. He was probably still there in 1870 since he doesn't appear in the census for Dutchess County.

Continuing on her own, Francis, according to Dutchess County Guardianship Records, was made guardian of her 10 year old daughter on 20 Mar 1873.

By 1880, George was a 37 year old farmer, divorced, and living in Pawling with his 69 year old grandmother, Mary Campbell.

When George applied for a Civil War disability pension in 1891, the severity of the war and subsequent years had obviously taken their toll on him. He was "wholy unable to earn a support by manual labor by reason of heart disease and lungs, itching piles, paralysis over shoulder and gravel [kidney stones]." Within two years he was dead. George died in Pawling on 20 Mar 1893 at the age of 50. He is buried in the Campbell Ground (Hurd's Corners) at Pawling, NY.

Throughout the latter half of the 19th century and up to at least 1912, Francis, her mother, and her daughter eked out a living in Poughkeepsie where they resided at 7 Carroll Street. Fruitlessly pursuing hopes of some widow's pension benefits, she was left to support herself by making vests, her only source of income. In a 9 Jan 1896 statement, Francis related that "my daughter owns this house. She inherited it from her great-great grandfather, George Sherman by will. She got above $1700 under the will and with it she bought the home. She is a music teacher. My mother helps me at vest making. She is 76 years old." Francis' situation by 1912 had not improved. Mrs. Jones described their plight when, in 1912, she said "Mrs. Vanderburg my next door neighbor needs the money [pension]. Her daughter is far from being well and Mrs. V. has valvular heart trouble ... and I really believe they do not have enough to eat. ... There don't seen to be any one to help these poor people ...."

Francis never did qualify for a pension, but somehow she survived and lived another 20 years before she passed away on 12 Feb 1933.

XX. LOUIS7 VANDERBURG (William H.6, Henry5, William4, Henry3, Dirck2, Luycas1), son of William H. Vanderburgh and Che-Lar-Lu-Chem-Coo (Christian name Isabel), a full blooded Flathead/Salish Indian woman,216 was born about 1832.217 Louis was also known as Louis French218 and by the Indian name of Seme219, Sayme220, or Say Mi.221 He was also called “Ll-coot-sum-heh” which means "Grizzly Bear far away."222

Strong circumstantial evidence points to the parentage of Louis. His father was definitely in the southwestern Montana region during the years preceeding Louis’ birth223 and it was common for fur traders to be on friendly terms with the Flathead. The Vanderburg surname has been continued through Louis’ descendants and the Indian tradition is strong that that his father had been "the" fur trader.224 William H. Vanderburgh may not have known that he ever had a son since he was killed in 1832, about the same time Louis was born. Louis may have been born at Bozeman, Montana,225

Felsman, Flathead Tribal Historian, 108 1/2 5th Ave. East, Polson, MT 59860 to William Powers.217 Louis Vanderburg’s actual birth date is in question. His death certificate says he was 106, while his obituaries say he was either 104 or 108 when he died in 1923. His obituary ("Ronan, MT Pioneer," 24 Aug 1923) further says that he "dated his age from the arrival of Father DeSmet, believing he was 22 years old then. However, it is not known whether or not he witnessed the arrival of the priest in the Bitter Root Valley in 1837 or the Flathead Valley in 1841. It is believed that the earlier date is correct because his family is known to have lived near the site of Stevensville about that time." Flathead Indian census records point more toward the 1832 time frame; and the 1920 census gives his age as 87, putting his birth around 1833. The census records are probably the closest to the truth.218 Correspondence - 29 Sep 1991 letter & Family Group Sheets from Eugene M.

or Idaho.226 However, he undoubtedly grew up in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, the traditional home of the Flatheads. Their territory once extended for some distance on either side of the mountain divide. However, they did not live in the mountains by choice. The Flatheads peaceful nature left them prey to other tribes so that they had been progressively driven there by the eastern Plains Indians and were ultimately confined to the Bitterroot Valley.227

Sometime in the 1820s, four Iroquois came to live among the Flatheads. One in particular, known as Big Ignace (or Ignace la Mousse), spoke at length about the Black Robes and the powers of Catholicism. As a result of this introduction to Christianity, the Flatheads developed an immense curiosity about the Black Robes. In 1831, 1835, 1837, and 1839, Flathead expeditions traveled from the Bitterroot to St. Louis. During this same period, the westward expanding fur trade brought permanent white man incursion to the Flathead territory. Included in this fur trapping group was Louis’ father. Such was the environment into which Louis was born.

Responding to the Flathead visits to St. Louis, Belgian Jesuit Pierre-Jean De Smet made his first trip to the Bitterroot Valley in 1840. In April 1841, he again left St. Louis accompanied by three lay brothers. They arrived in the Bitterroot Valley in September and founded St. Mary’s Mission. They emphasized agriculture, built gristmills and sawmills, and vaccinated the Flatheads against smallpox. This fostered a practical Christianity that the Flatheads at first embraced. But the tenents of one God, one wife, no alcohol, no punishment by whipping, and farming rather than hunting, all contradicted Indian traditions. These conflicts, combined with Father De Smet’s pursuit of a mission among the Flathead enemies, the Blackfeet, killed any hopes of a successful mission. By 1850, St. Mary’s demise was assured and De Smet sold the property for $250 to pioneer John Owen for a trading post. Owen enclosed the mission with a high wall and renamed it Fort Owen. From here, he conducted a trade in furs and became a friend and strong personal influence among the Flatheads. He planted crops and orchards and made his post the center of early settlement in western Montana.228

By the 1850s, Louis had reached manhood, steeped in an Indian lifestyle and Christian knowledge. Before the decade ended, Louis married in an Indian ceremony, MARY BEARTRACK. Mary was born in the Bitterroot Valley, the daughter of Soey-Te-Sum-’Hi, otherwise known as "Bear Tracks" or "Grizzly Bear Tracks," and by the christian name of "Alexander." Her mother’s name was Cul-Su-Sah. Bear Tracks was an important hunting shaman, with special powers to ensure buffalo hunts. He was a speaker at the Treaty Council on 13 Jul 1855 and later added his name to the Hell Gate Treaty.229

In 1855, the Flatheads were among several western tribes signing the Hell Gate Treaty with the United States government, agreeing to accept goods and shop, school, and hospital facilities in exchange for a reduction of land. The Flatheads gave up much land under this treaty, retaining some 1.25 million acres of their homeland in the Bitterroot Valley, but with an alternative clause which allowed the US president to determine whether it would be better in the long run for them to move to a new reservation at Flathead Lake and the Jocko River. Ultimately, the government failed in its promise to keep white farmers and ranchers out of the Bitterroot Valley. Settlers pushed the buffalo herds into Blackfoot country where, without federal protection, the Flatheads found hunting impossible. The whites in the Bitterroot now outnumbered the Flatheads three to one, and Montanans argued that their agricultural products were required to feed the territory’s growing population. When the Flatheads, under Chief Charlot, refused to move to the reservation, President Grant declared that the Jocko reservation was more suitable than the Bitterroot Valley and ordered them to move. Charlot still refused to leave. Grant sent Congressman James A. Garfield of Ohio to negotiate. In the summer of 1872, Garfield brought back a treaty, supposedly signed by Flathead chiefs, including Charlot, consenting to remove to the Jocko. Soon it became obvious that Charlot had not actually signed the treaty and had no intention of relocating with his faithful followers. However, Congress, by law, stipulated transfer of the Flatheads and threw open the Bitterroot Valley north of the Lolo Fork to settlers. A number of Flathead families did move to the Jocko lands. This small group under subchief Arlee was recognized as legitimate recipients of the annuity goods authorized by the 1855 Hell Gate Treaty. Meanwhile, Charlot’s band suffered. The buffalo vanished, hunting was sharply curtailed, and government aid was withdrawn.230 In an effort to reclaim some of their losses, Louis was among five members of his tribe who in 1884 went with Charlot and the Flathead Indian Agent, Major Peter Ronan, to Washington, DC as a council to secure tribal rights for the Flatheads.231 Louis was the last survivor of this group,232 and a picture of him among this group is found in the National Archives233 and at the Montana Historical Society Library at Helena, MT.234 The year following their visit, the first supplies in twelve years arrived.

Finally, in 1891-92, a bitter and dispirited Charlot led the rest of his people, including Louis and his family, onto the Jocko reservation, condemning the federal government as he did so. "You are liars," Charlot said. "I do not believe you. My young

men have no place to hunt, they get whiskey, they are bad. My women and children are hungry; I will go."235

Two years after his arrival on the reservation, Louis’ wife, Mary, died in 1894.236

Louis remained a member of Charlot’s band on the reservation for the rest of his life.237 Louis died on 17 Aug 1923 at Arlee and was buried there three days later in the Jocko Cemetery.238 "The direct cause of his death is said to have been an accident three years ago when a horse he was riding slipped and fell on him, breaking a hip. Since that time, he had been bed-ridden till death came."

A "funeral feast" was held on 20 Aug 1823 near Arlee by members of his tribe in reverence to the memory of Louis as a patriarch of the Flatheads. Noted as a "venerable warrior," and "a historic figure" in western Montana, Louis outlived all other members of his tribe who witnessed the advent of Father DeSmet into the western Montana territory.

Louis was survived by six of his seven children, all of whom lived at Arlee in 1923:239

ABIGAIL7 VANDERBURG (James6, John W.5, William4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), daughter of James Vanderburg and Roby Knight, was born in Jun 1826,240 probably at Antwerp, Jefferson Co., NY.241 In 1850, she was living with her mother in Pierrepont, St. Lawrence Co., NY.242 In 1855, she was living with her brother, Daniel, and sister, Mary, in Martinsburg, Lewis Co., NY.243

Around 1859, Abigail married WILLIAM ALBRECHT who was born in Prussia/Germany in May 1828. He immigrated to the US in 1857 and soon changed his name to "ALBERTS."244

Abigail and William were living in a log house valued at $50 in Martinsburg in 1865. William was employed as a farmer.245 They were in West Martinsburg in 1870 where William was still farming with real estate valued at $1,450.246 They were in Martinsburg in 1874,247 and 1900.248 Abigail died after 1900 but before 1909. By 1909, William married, second, Louisa ______ who was born in Germany in 1834 and had been previously married. In 1910, William, now 82, and Louisa, 76, were still residing in Martinsburg.249

Abigail and William had one child:

and 1910, he and his wife were living with her brother in Martinsburg. They had no children.252

XX. JAMES7 VANDERBURG (James6, John W.5, William4, Henry3, Dirck2, Lucas1), son of James Vanderburg and Roby Knight, was born about 1828, probably in Antwerp, Jefferson Co., NY. In 1850, he was living with his mother in Pierrepont, St. Lawrence Co., NY.253 He married about 1858 DIREXA F. ______, who was born about 1833.254

On 15 Nov 1856, James purchased 110 acres of land in Pierrepont from Frances D. Harison of New York City.255 On 29 Sep 1858, James and his wife sold half of that land to James’ brother, Charles.256

In 1860, James was a farmer who had his father living with him in Pierrepont.257

On 23 Feb 1864 Charles sold his parcel back to Direxa.258 Since James is not mentioned in this transaction, it is possible that he may have already died. This would place his death about 1863. Two years later on 17 Apr 1866, Direxa sold land in Pierrepont to Samson J. Crandall.259 This was the last of any recorded land transactions in St. Lawrence County for James and Direxa. Child:260

In 1850, he was living with his mother in Pierrepont, St. Lawrence Co., NY.262 By 1854, he and his sisters, Mary and Abigail, had relocated to Martinsburg, Lewis Co., NY. They were still there in 1855 where Daniel was a farmer with assets valued at $300.263 After their mother’s death in 1853, they had probably moved to Lewis Co. to be near their mother’s Knight relatives.

On 17 Jul 1858, Daniel married ELIZA LOUCKS who was born in NY on 28 Dec 1834, the daughter of Daniel Loucks and Julia Ann Strader of Martinsburg.264 In 1860, Daniel and Eliza were living on a farm in Martinsburg. By that time, his sisters were no longer living with him.265 They were still farming in Martinsburg in 1865 with 252 Census, 1900, NY, Lewis Co., Martinsburg, ED 66, Sht 6. Frank C.
