Research Notes

The attached child, Daniel Benjamin, is listed as having been born on May 22, 1767, without any sources. Two church records have been recently added, here, which indicate that Dennis was born on that date in 1769. The imaged record doesn't include any mention of a twin. The other record is for Benjamin, giving a baptism date of June 7, 1767, without a birth date. Two children born on the same date two years apart. Henry Ostrum (1804-) is listed on the Berne Genealogy site as the son of Benjamin Ostrum, born 5 May 1767, Rhinebeck, son of Henry Ostrum and Abigail Davenport and spouse of Elizabeth Cole.^[12]
