I am seeking information on a Dutcher family in Dutchess County c
1760, when a Neeltje (Nelly) Dutcher married Peter Vanderburg.
They later immigrated to Ontario, Canada c 1790,
Any help you can give me would be deeply appreciated.
Warmest regards,
Chris
======================
Dave, Chris and I have wondered whether Neeltje might be a
daughter of Direck Dutcher. Has anyone access to early Dutchess
Co., NY baptismal records? Direck supposedly had 10 children. I
have only my Simeon b 1761, Elias and Catherina (no info on the
last two). I suspect Lydia b 1769 (m Peter Coon) was also a
child. Dave has a few more possible children. We don't know
Direck's wife's name, either. Sure would appreciate some help.
I'll put the dates I have below and notes from Dave.
Thanks,
Fran

where Simeon was also living by this time.
