Today I am digging out of my rabbit holes that I fell into over the weekend after an incredibly busy Monday. I had saved a map of Poughkeepsie from Dar's ancestor's whereabouts during the Revolution. The area outlined on the map in red dotted line is Orange County, NY (Poughkeepsie is in Dutchess County) My own ancestors were in Orange County and served during the Revolution from that county.
I am doing no more than this this morning but I didn't want to loose this thought. Could our ancestors have served together? What were the patriots doing? Would they have known each other?
My Cooley family had originally been in Connecticut along the coast that you see on the map between Stamford and Bridgeport. My Carey family could possibly have come from NY city to Orange County. I am very unclear about this.....need a bit of research to get it figured. Quit on this for the day
