MIDDAUGH, EL1AS (b. 1755 or 1856) d. 11/17/1819, aged 63y (He was a soldier of the Ametican Revoliution, although it does not so state on the tombstone which is a dark narrow shale about 5 feet in length and laying face-up on the ground in two pieces. It has fine designs and excellent lettering. The elements will shortly destroy it.)
(Next to the above is a standing shale tombstone with its face entirely eroded away. It could mark the grave of the wife of ELIAS MIDDAUGH.)
Concerning the Van Bunschoten or Van Benschoten family in America: a ...ÊBy William Henry Van Benschoten, p. 425:
Ò1551. ii. Elias Middagh m. Sarah Van Aken; he very early removed to neighborhood of Newtown, now Elmira, NY; all trace of him is long since lost. Children, bp. at Mahackemack:
a. Elizabeth, b. Oct. 29, 1780
b. Catrina, b. Aug. 18, 1782
c. Abram Van Aken, b. Apr. 20, 1784Ó
Charity was supposedly born in 1783, so perhaps Catrina is the same, or otherwise may be a mixup?
