Ginny: I have not found a connection to my family, that would take sometime to connect. I did however, find your family mentioned in the Blauvelt Family Genealogy. I purchased the book on e-bay quite some time ago.
Pg 592, person(5837)Margaret Lippincott, (Catharine Cole,3372), was born September25th, 1818, and baptised in the First Presbyterian Church,in New York City. On November 14th, 1855 she married ohn Brandt, Jr(Tap Ch. Rec). The record states that he was a widower, and that they were married at the home of the bride's father. We know from Tappan baptisms 4823,'24 and '25 that John's first wife was Margaret Bartow.She had died January 21st, 1855. The membership list of the Tappan Church shows that Margaret died eptember 27th, 1858.
The only child of John Brandt, Jr. and Margaret Lippincot, (5837), was:
8674 Florence ay, born Sept 7, 1856, Bapt. Tap #4826, May 20, 1857. After Margarets death this child was adopted by #5841(Juliana Cole Lippencott) and took the Smith Name.

On February 1st, 1870 she was dismissed to the church at Closter,New Jersy. We judge that she died prior to 1894, as she is not mentioned in the will of her uncle, Jacob J.
