Dear Ms. Kern:
Per your telephone call yesterday, I have found no death record for William Scofield or
Mary Scofield.
I found a death record for Mary A. Scofield (see attached) but she was married to
Remsen D. Scofield so this is not the "Mary" you were seeking.
Also found was a death record for Mary Lela Scofield; however, she was married to
Edward R. Scofield. (See attached)
I found a "William" (highlighted on form) listed as father on two deaths but his wife
in both instances was NOT Mary.
If you want anything else checked out, please either call or send me a letter.
Sorry I could not be of help with these two names.
Sincerely,
~f~'

Dear Ms. Kern:
As requested, enclosed is a copy ofthe birth certificate for Allulah J. Myers.
I also found the death certificates for Hiram Chase who died May 1, 1933 and
Harriet Amelia Chase who died July 28, 1934. Copies are enclosed.
Harriet was born in East Fishkill, New York on May 19, 1862.
Hiram was born in Pine Plains, New York on October 30, 1856.
(Birth dates are listed on their death records).
However, I also found a record of their marriage on October 16, 1912. The marriage
record states that Harriet was born in Wappingers Falls. I also believe the marriage
record has their wrong ages listed.
They were both buried in the Wappingers Falls Cemetery, Route 9D, Wappingers Falls,
NY. Phone: 845-297-3480.
If you would like actual transcripts typed on any of these records enclosed, please let me
know. It would be $10.00 per transcript.
Sincerely,

GENEALOGY - Mallory
Dear Ms. Miller-Beard:
I have searched records of births, deaths and marriages in the Town of
Wappinger and the Village ofWappingers Falls and found nothing else for
the name "Mallory" (except the one that I sent you previously.)
I have forwarded your lists of genealogy to the Town of Poughkeepsie and
the Town of Fishkill. It is possible that they may have the records you are
requesting. She is checking with the Town of Poughkeepsie historian as to
the location of Stoneco from the 1800' s.
I have also left a message with our Town Historian to see if she can give us
any further information on where "Stoneco" was actually located back then.
Our former Town Clerk believes it was near what is now called "Trap Rock"
which would be in the area of Town of Poughkeepsie.
I'm sorry for the long delay but in the old books there are no index pages
and every name on every page must be searched individually. I did a very
thorough search of our records however.
When I hear from either the other towns or the historians, I will contact you.
Sincerely,
cJ~~
Sandra Kosakowski
Hi Sandy,
I can't tell you how pleased I was to receive your message and genealogy trace today.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check on any other "Shaws" in the Village
ofWappingers Falls. You are the best! I am so impressed.
After I left the town hall I went exploring in the Village, viewed the beautiful Falls
and spoke with some local folks who were very helpful. I then went to LaGrange,
following the notation in the genealogy book you showed us but their records didn't
go back as far as I needed.
However, I did eventually find more "Shaws" in the area, again in Titusville. One is
definitely my Great Grandfather 'Walter Shaw', the wool spinner born on the
Titusville Rd. The other is my Great Great Grandfather 'Theron Shaw' born in 1828
in Titusville and worked as an 'Examiner' in the Wool Mill. At this point my trail
seems to have gone cold so maybe I'll have to be a little more creative in my search.
But it is a worthy search, puzzling sometimes but fun nonetheless. 'Imagine three
generations of'Shaws' in the greater Wappingers area. I'm betting that there are
more.

Please be advised that our records for the Town of Wappinger do not begin until 1882. We would have no
genealogy on the Rosekrans family in the years you are seeking information.
You may wish to contact the Town Historian, Janice Hilderbrand. phone # 845-297-7183.
I will include a copy of the local Churches that may be helpful with the older records.
Sorry we could not be of further help.

Dear Ms. Stapert:
Enclosed are the copies that you requested per your letter #43, #272, #279 &
#842.
I have also included death certificate # 637 for Edward O. Whitman (10
mos.). He was the infant child of Fred & Hannah (Rush) Whitman. I also
found death record # 2011 for Hannah Whitman which I am sending you
also. (No charge for these 2 records since you did not request them). I felt
that they were important to keep together with the marriage transcript # 43
that you did request.
We also have birth records beginning 1882. I will check the early records to
see if I can find anything for Percy Charles Whitman and Charles Edward
Whitman. It may take a little bit of time but I will continue to search for any
other WHITMAN'S in the records.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Stapert:
Enclosed is a copy of deaths & marriages with the last names Whitman,
Smeidel, & Burlingames that you mentioned in your phone call. I haven't
finished the search as it takes a long time to go through each & every name
because they were not indexed in the book. Back then, I guess they didn't see
the need to index but it would make the search go much faster.
I'm sending this information so that you will see "I'm working on it".
I will continue the search and will continue to send you a copy of anything I
find.
If you want any of these deaths or marriages typed on transcripts, each
transcript will cost $10.00. Please let me know if transcripts are wanted.
The transcripts will include a bit more information on them than the copy
that I am enclosing.
Sincerely,
Sandra Kosakowski

I am sorry for not being able to send them to you sooner, but I was

I will continue to look for any genealogy on the name Brogden. It

back into genealogy next week.

Dear George:
Per your request, enclosed are. new copies of death certificates for John P.
Brogden and Francis J. Brogden. I can understand that you would want her
maiden name of the certificates.
Also enclosed, is a death record for Daniel Carroll- his mother was Bridget
Cumberford. Could this "Bridget" have been a "Carroll" at one time? I didn't
know if this could be part of the genealogy you are looking for. If not related
to your family history, just destroy the record.
I will continue to search the old records for any kind of document related to
the names Brogden and Carroll.
Hopefully, next week I will have time to research for children of Francis & his
wife. I will also look for death records of Thomas & Teresa Brogden.
It may take me awhile to find them as I must $earch each & every name - no
indexing was done back then!

I am still looking, and still tracing my people back to Wappingers Falls. I have several
unanswered questions regarding the family, and I hope these documents will answer

wrote last names in it, but, with the help of these records, I can fill in the blanks.

Dear Ms. Rhodes:
I found the death certificate for Mabel Knapp who died at 6 mos. of age.
Enclosed is a verified transcript from the register of deaths. It states that
"place of burial" was Town of LaGrange, NY. Is it possible that Caroline
(Carrie) Murphy Knapp, who died 6 mos. earlier, was buried in a family plot
at the LaGrange cemetery? The following is the address for Town of
LaGrange Vital Statistics:

I also found the death certificate for Henry Knapp who died 6/20/1919. His
birth record shows that he was born in Cold Spring, NY and was buried in
Cold Spring Cemetery. It is recorded on the death certificate that he was the
widowed husband of Caroline Knapp. Enclosed is a copy of his death
certificate. (Is it possible that Caroline Knapp was buried in Cold Spring
Cemetery). However, I would think that Caroline would be buried by her
infant in LaGrange Cemetery. If she was transported to Vassar Hospital, the
record of death would be with: City of Poughkeepsie
Dept. of Vital Statistics
PO Box 300
Phone: 845-451-4202 Poughkeepsie, NY 12602

with: Town of Poughkeepsie
Town Clerk's Office

Phone: 845-485-3620 Poughkeepsie, NY 12603
You mentioned that you checked with Poughkeepsie but you will have to
check both places in Poughkeepsie. If it was a difficult birth, she may have
died at one of the hospitals and the city or town of Poughkeepsie would have
the record.
I have not found any record of the other names in your letter. I will continue
to search but I don't believe we have them. I found other "Knaps" in the
records but I don't know if any of them are in your genealogy.
I am enclosing what I have found so far. Look the names over - some may
be part of your family history. If you want long forms done on any of the
names, please let me know.

died at one of the hospitals and the city or town of Poughkeepsie would have
the record.
I have not found any record of the other names in your letter. I will continue
to search but I don't believe we have them. I found other "Knaps" in the
records but I don't know if any of them are in your genealogy.
I am enclosing what I have found so far. Look the names over - some may
be part of your family history. If you want long forms done on any of the
names, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Sandra Kosakowski
Registrar of Vital Statistics

I have been researching for your grandmother's birth certificate and so far have not found
anything in my search.
The only one that I have found is Joseph Paonessa but the parents do not match up to the
names you gave me. (See attached). Also, the spelling of the last name is different.
I will continue the search to see if I can find anything at all in the records. It takes a
while to do a search as the older books are not indexed and you must check each name on
each page of the book individually.
If nothing comes up, I will return your check. I apologize for the amount oftime that has
passed since receiving your request.
Sincerely,
J---.Lu- >(~.

Dear Ms. Deegan:
I have continued to search the birth records for your grandmother's birth
certificate, found 'ROSE PONESSA" but this person was born 6/22/1932.
o
I also found "Thomas", "Anthony" and "Francesco" but they do not have the
parents name that you listed. The father of these children is listed as Frank /
Francesco Paonessa.
I have enclosed copies of these births but please destroy if none of these are
part of your genealogy.
The births that you are searching for must be in the records of a different
township. A section of the village ofWappingers Falls is located in the
Town of poughkeepsie. You may want to check their genealogy records.
Sorry I could not have been more help to you in your search.
I am returning your check in the amount of$10.
Sincerely,

Re: Van V oorms, Hasbrook and Purdy
Dear Ms. Kosakowski,
You wonderful woman!
1 received your packet of information yesterday afternoon. 1 opened it expecting to find
some forms to fill out so that you could search the records and nearly fainted when 1 saw
the list of names you sent to me!
1 can't thank you enough for taking the time to search the records so thoroughly, especially
without an Index (I know how tiring that is after doing my own research through old
census records without an Index to guide me).
1 would like to have certificates for five of the people on your list (copies ofthe pertinent
pages are enclosed). Please send me copies for the following:
j VanVoorhis, Grace
/
Born January 26, 1909
I '!f.~~
Hasbrook, Alfred Died June 4, 1885
(1 have his Mom as Magdalena VanVoorhees, is this correct?)
I Hasbrook, Ronald
Born September 26, 1892
" Hasbrook (Male) Born September 3, 1892
(His name l'vas Clarence Reynolds)
/ Hasbrook, Helen Born August 1 1905
A check for $50 is enclosed. -I ~ # ~~7 37 3ftjP';
Would you please explain the differences in the Wappinger town name? It is variously
listed as Wappinger, Wappinger Falls or Wappingers Falls. 1 note on your own letterhead
it is the "Town of Wappinger" but the address is "Wappingers Falls". Are all of them
referring to the same town? Which spelling should be used to designate the place where
my ancestors lived? (I've been using "Wappingers Falls").
Again. thank you so very much for your help. While I'm still "in the dark" as to John
VanVoorhis' and Martha Purdy's parentage, your information has filled in the blanks for
some other members ofthe family.
I appreciate it very much.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Ransky:
Enclosed are transcripts of four birth records and one death record that you requested.
We became extremely busy in the office as hunting licenses went on sale August 15th
and I could not type the transcripts right away.
I will try to explain the differences in the Wappinger town name. There is a "Town of
Wappinger" and a "Village ofWappingers Falls". Our office is located in the town
portion; thereby calling us the Town of Wappinger as you noticed on our letterhead. Our
Post Office is actually located in the village portion and therefore all mail for town and
village MUST be addressed as "Wappingers Falls, New York" (following the actual
location of the post office). (There is NO Wappinger Falls).
Your ancestors would have either lived in the Town of Wappinger (District #1368) or the
Village ofWappingers Falls (District #1324). We cover both districts with our records.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincere~

Dear Ms. Morse,
I am researching an ancestor, John VanVoorhis (b. 1860), who married Martha Purdy (b.
May 1861).
I know that your records only start in 1882, but I was hoping that you had one of their
children's or grandchildren's records on file to try to help me find some identifying
information about these two persons.
John and Martha's children were John Edward VanVoorhis (b. Oct. 1, 1879 - probably too
early for your records) who married Grace Adelia Horton (b. Aug. 12, 1876) and Alsada
May VanVoorhis (b. Feb 1882) who married Zachariah V. Hasbrook (b. Oct 1870).
John Edward and Grace Adelia's children were George (b. 1901-d. 1914), Earl Horton (b.
1906-d. 1999) and Grace Alsada (b. Jan 26, 1909- d. May 12, 1984).
Alsada May and Zachariah's children were Hazel M. (b. ca 1902), Martha (b. ca 1912) and
Marjorie (b. ca 1917).
If any of these names appear in your records, will you please let me know so that I can
order their genealogy form(s).
Also, can you direct me to the correct source(s) in Wappingers Falls that might have the
earlier records (baptisms, marriages, etc)? I believe that this family belonged to the early
Dutch Reformed Church. Is there still such a church in Wappingers Falls?
Thank you for your help.

Dear Ms. Ransky:
I have been working on your request for genealogy information on the
names, VanVoorhis, Hasbrook, and Purdy.
So far, I have come across Grace VanVoorhis (daughter of Grace Horton
and John E. VanVoorhis who was born January 26, 1909. The mother,
Grace Horton, was born in New Rochelle, NY. The father, John
E.VanVoorhis, was born in Wappingers Falls, NY. (John's birth was too
early for our records. (See #657 - Births - Town of Wappinger.
Also found was the birth certificate for Marjorie Adele Hasbrook who was
born May 24, 1917. (See enclosed copy of birth record #43
Parents: Alsada May V an Voorhis and Zachariah V. Hasbrook
I am enclosing a list of a few Reformed Churches near Wappingers Falls.
The other Churches actually in Wappingers Falls are:
Zion EpiscopaL.. .Bethel Baptist.. .First Presbyterian. ..
Hughsonville Presbysterian (Enclosed are addresses
and phone numbers)
I will continue to look through the records for any other genealogy
information I can find in reference to your request. The old records were
NOT indexed and I must look through each name listed and it takes quite a
bit of time.
If you want any of the enclosed birth, death, or marriage records typed
on a form, it will be $10.00 per copy. They will contain more detailed
information.
Sincerely,
c:l~ f~
