Research Notes

Birth

Elizabeth Quick Ennes Birth: 1722, Rochester, Ulster County, New York, USA Death: Apr. 8, 1771, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA

Married

May 18th 1739 in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York.

Eli Eldest son Benjamin Ennes who was born the 25th of April 1743, was born in Mamakating (now Deerpark), Ulster (now Orange) county, New York, baptized on the 3rd of May 1743 in the Dutch Reformed Church in Mamakating (now Deerpark), Ulster (now Orange) county, New York. His sponsors were, Benjamin Quik (Quick) and Heilje (Helena) Wessebrock (Westbrook). Benjamin married Magdalena (Lena) VanEtten in August of 1769 in the same Dutch Reformed Church in Deerpark, Ulster (now Orange) county, New York. Benjamin's death was in Pike County, Pennsylvania, NOT Marbletown, Ulster county, New York. Benjamin and Magdalena had 2 daughters and 4 sons. Sons Alexander and Benjamin went to Cayuta, now Schuyler county, New York in 1795 or 1798 depending on which history you are reading.

One reference gleaned from the "Historical and Statistical Gazetteer, of New York State", by J. H. French, 1860.

Benjamin's father, Benjamin Ennis (b. 21 Nov. 1780) and his uncle, Alexander Ennis, came to Cayuta township, Chemung (now Schuyler) County, New York, and were one of the first settlements that were made along the valley of Cayuta Creek in 1795. Alexander and Benjamin Ennis were from New Jersey.

Another reference is under the township of VanEtten, now in Chemung county, which was formed from a part of Cayuta township, now in Schuyler county, New York on the 17th of April 1854, relating to Benjamin and Alexander's arrival, which was found in the four county "History of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins and Schuyler Counties", by H. B. Peirce, and D. Hamilton Hurd, Published 1879, says they arrived in 1798, which states and I quote:

"William Ennis, the grandfather of the brothers who settled here, came from Scotland, and settled in the valley of the Delaware River, near Port Jervis. His son, Benjamin, raised up a family of four sons and two daughters, and was killed in an encounter with the Tories and Indians in 1778. The four sons, viz., Alexander, John, Emanuel, and Benjamin, came here in 1798, and settled just above the Swartwoods, near the junction of the Cayuta and McDuffie Creeks. They were very worthy people, and their descendants are to be found here in large numbers, occupying the lands opened by the pioneer brothers." End quote.

Even histories are not always accurate with "Precise" information. Did Benjamin died in 1778 or 1780, and did the sons, Benjamin and Alexander arrive in the Cayuta Creek area in 1795 or 1798??

Benjamin's wife, Magdalena VanEtten was the daughter of Johannes (John) VanEtten, b. Montague, Sussex county, New Jersey and Maria Consalus b. Kingston, Ulster county, New York.

Johannes (John) VanEttem was the son of Jacob VanEtten, born in Hurley, Ulster county, New York and Ante (Ann) Westbroek (Westbrook), born in Kingston, Ulster county, New York.

Elizabeth died in Sandyston township, Sussex County, New Jersey.

No Sandyston township in F.A.G. listing.

As of the date of this memorial for Elizabeth (Quick) Ennes, there is no other memorial within any cemetery or separate family burial plot, in any city, village, township, county, state or country, under any various surname spellings (Ennes, Ennest, Ennis, Ennist, etc.) for her here at "Find A Grave".
