Interesting Finds
- List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week
- It appears very likely that Dana's GGGgrandmother Nancy Waldron was a greatgranddaughter of Leffert Waldron, although there is some doubt as to which grandson was her father. Leffert's grandfathers were both born in the Netherlands and both arrived with their parents in what was then New Amsterdam in the mid-17th century.
- Leffert's Waldron grandfather was one of the subjects of Douglas Richardson's 1995 article, "The European Origin and Ancestry of Joseph and Resolved Waldron" (New York Genealogical & Biographical Record, Jan. 1995, pp. 12-24, and Apr. 1995, pp. 113-116).
- Leffert Waldron's other grandfather is one of the subjects of The Lefferts Family Papers, held at Brooklyn Historical Society and spanning almost four centuries, which have been digitized and are available online as An American Family Grows in Brooklyn.
- William Beswick (bef.1735-bef.1785) was a coal miner who became a publican and died when he fell from his horse.
- Dana's second great uncle, Ephraim Bennett (1841-) went to prison for killing his brother-in-law in 1893.
- Dana's 5th Great-grandfather Jacob Merrill ran a tavern until his death in 1804. Then his wife, Elizabeth (Fulkerson) Merrill continued to run it until about 1822.
