Meryl,
Just sent a long letter and a package of material to you.Still no progress on an e-mail connection.By the way, were you aware that Philipsburgh, NY where Adaiah was born, really refers to the Philipse Manor lands, part of which were indeed in Westchester County, NY.The other part of the Philipse Family's estate was on the other side of the Hudson in the Haverstraw district of Orange (now Rockland County, NY, and Bergen County, NJ. So, Adaiah could have been born in Philipse Manor on the Orange County side of the Hudson.Source of information is Rockland County Genealogical Society.
