"But he was baptized way over there in Schenectady!"

According to Jonathan Pearson,

All these new and foreign settlers, until they had churches of their own, brought their children either to Albany or Schenectady to be christened. Hence there will be found in this work many names of families then residing as far west as Caughnawaga and Canajoharie, south to the Helderberg and Schoharie, and north to Galway and Kayaderosseras patent ^[1].

Thanks to Thomas R. McKee of the Hollabaugh DNA Project for taking the trouble to crunch these numbers to start these tables.

This first table shows the number distribution for these names along the northern migration routes:
