Sarah Downing Platt 1801-1872, Huntington, NY
I am looking for information regarding my g-g-g-grandmother Sarah Downing Platt.She married my g-g-g-grandfather James Allison Van Brunt in March 1847.I am fairly certain she must have come from Huntington, Long Island.I have photographs dating from the 1880s of a family farm (probably a dairy farm) in Huntington.After researching, I have found a 1909 map of Huntington showing a large plot of land labeled with the name Mrs. Henry C. Platt and the landmarks on this map match those in my family photos (in particular a small lake with an ice house on the other side).I also have a photo of a woman I believe to be Sarah.I am interested to know how Henry C. Platt might relate to Sarah.I want to know how Sarah fits into the Platt family tree.I can date my Van Brunt family heritage back to 1653, now I'd like to trace this branch.If anyone can help, thank you.
