Smith, Coonrad, Philip and Doct. Isaac, in the Federal Square neigh- borhood, were of the family of Judge Isaac Smith, of Lithgow, in the town of Washington.
Smith, James, was the ancestor of the families of that name who settled on the borders of Pine Plains and Ancram, principally in Ancram. He was a Highland Scotchman, his true name Hugh Sutherland. By this name he emigrated to this country a soldier in the King's army about the middle of the last century, during the French and Indian wars. Later he deserted the King's army and joined the American army as James Smith to avoid detection and the penalty of desertion. He settled on the hill in the south part of Ancram, on the farm recently owned by Isaac Smith be- fore his decease, one of his descendants, and where the three sons of alias James Smith, Daniel I., Alexander and John, were born. Daniel I. lived and died on the old farm. His sons were Peter, John, Aaron, (see Aaron, lineage above,) Eli, Isaac and Daniel. His daughters were Nelly, Caty and Betsey. All these except Isaac and Daniel married in families not far from the homestead locality, and have left many descendants. The ma- jority of the descendants in this locality are from the Daniel I. Smith branch who was born about 1759.

Strever, family were German Palatines, the name being written "Striebel." Johannes or John Striebel is said to have been the ancestor of the Pine Plains settlers. The christian name John, has been perpet- uated through many generations, and the family tradition is that the American ancestor when a lad came with the Palatine immigration in 1708-11 and was apprenticed to pay his unpaid passage, to a Mr. Couse or a Mr. Morehouse, of Milan. There are many instances of this sort of the minors in this Palatine immigration. Contemporaneous with John Strever was Ulrich "Striebel " and his wife- " Margaretha," who were sponsors to the baptism of "Johannes," a son of John Mackentire and Catharine Strieble, February 24, 1760. This was at the Round Top Church at Bethel.
Strever. John, ancestor, married Maria Dings about 1756. In the "Vedder Church " record is " Anna Eva, daughter of Johannes Striebel and Maria Dings, baptised Feb. 6, 1758," and " John Adam Striebel, baptised June 14, 1760," a son of John and Maria above.

On his headstone is inscribed: "In memory of Johannes Strevel, who departed this life, Feb'y. 24, 1804, aged 72 years and two months."
"Let nature in her mourning suit be drest ;
Since virtue's friend has soared beyond our view,
And seated in the mansions of the blest,
Bids this our painful world a long adieu."

John Strever 3d-John 1st ancestor, John Adam 2d, called Adam, his older brother-in this line married Mary Hoysradt as above, in 1790, (he was called "Captain ") and settled at the forks of the road, half mile south of the village in 1792. The old house was a little south of the present white house there, which was built in 1799 and 1800.

There was no minister at the obsequies and Aaron E. Winchell had charge of the funeral and made a. short address. Mary his wife, had deceased March 30, 1822, aged 52. Hendrick Hoysradt, one of the earliest settlers in Gallatin, Columbia County, and father in-law to Captain Strever, purchased the "Strever farm," which then included the Englekee farm at Stissing Lake, June 7, 1790, of Lewis Graham for 900 pounds, and "Captain " Strever purchased the farm of him, June 6, 1807.
Turk. John A., a tailor, came to Pine Plains about 1784. He was a descendant of Isaac De Turk, a French Huguenot, who emigrated to New York about 1710 with the Palatines, and settled in Sopus. In 1712 Isaac De Turk moved to Olney, Pennsylvania. He had a slave "Mary," who is recorded as being the mother of a child named Eliza Armstrong, born April 15, 1810.

Hill," in the town of Washington about 1790, and settled on what in recent years was known as the "Hicks farm," south and adjoining the late Dr. Huntting farm in northern Stanford.

Tallmadge, James, Capt., about 1772, or later, built the now old brick house south of Mr. Isaac S. Carpenter's, in northern Stanford. He was son of James Tallmadge, one of the forty-one original " Proprietors of the common and undivided land in the township of Sharon," purchased in 1738. He married Ann Sutherland, daughter of David Sutherland, of Stanford, and this brick house residence of "Captain James Talhnadge" had great celebrity in northeastern Duchess for a score of years. The justices of North East, Amenia, and Charlotte Precincts held courts there during his proprietorship which ceased April 1st, 1797, by the sale of the property to Bernard Mathison, who kept open house for justice courts many years later. Jonathan Landon was a justice in North East Precinct several years succeeding 1779. His docket record has these entries "James Ingraham vs. Joseph Thompson, Jr., to appear at Capt. James Tallmadge's on New Year's day (1781). James Hallett vs. Wm. Reynolds, action on case to be tryed at Capt. Tallmadge's New Year's day. Parzi Lapham vs. William Garret, two actions to be tryed at Tallmadge's on Monday, 8th January, 1781. Platt Smith vs. Levi De La Vergne, January 24th, at Tallmadge's." At a later date Jesse Thompson, Esquire, of North East, John Thompson, Esquire, of Stanford, and Esquire Flint, of Amenia, held courts here, indicating the popularity of Capt. Tallmadge. After the sale of the property to Mr. Mathison, he moved to Pokeepsie where he deceased in 1821. The Duchess Observer of December 26th of that year has this notice : Died, at his mansion house in Pokeepsie on Friday the 21st December, 1821, in the 78th year of his age, Col. James Tallmadge. His remains were deposited in the Baptist burying ground, on the Sunday following, attended by his family, a numerous col- lection of relatives and friends, the members of Solomon's Lodge, and the different religious congregations of the village. He was born in Sharon, Conn., on the 5th day of September, 1744, O. S., and early settled himself as a farmer in the county of Duchess. Ardently attached to the cause of the American Revolution, he commanded a company of volunteers (see p. 53) from the county of Duchess, who fought in the battle of Saratoga and assisted in the capture of Burgoyne in October, 1777.

She expired at the beautiful residence of Governor Throop on the Owasco Lake where she has resided for many years, surrounded by children and kindred, by whom she was revered while living, and who cherish her memory. She was a lady of much intelligence and force of character, imbued with the heroic principles and spirit of the mothers of the revolution, taking an interest in public affairs, and ever inculcating a love of country, of free government, and the support of men of tried patriotism and worth, who had stood by their country in the two wars with which she was familliar. She had at- tained the venerable age of eighty-four." Rachel, 2d daughter of Enos Thompson, married William Brush.

He was for many years a judge of the county courts, and was often at dif- ferent times elected a member of the legislature from that county. Emi- nently exemplary in all the relations of social and domestic life, he has gone down to the grave full of years, with the enviable reputation of an honest, an upright and a useful man. Inspired by that ardent patriot- ism and hatred to oppression so general at the period, Judge Thomp- son was one of the first to take up arms to repel the aggressions of the mother country at the commencement of the struggle which ended by making us a free people. He held a Lieutenant's commission in the army, and fought bravely for his country's rights." When in the army at Ticonderoga he was ordered by General Scuyler, November 14, 1775, to go to Canada and buy horses. He had four men, Elijah Kinney, Nathaniel Gates, Samuel Dodge and Ezekiel Rice. His diary of this expdition is in- teresting. They suffered much by snow and cold, and were gone six weeks, arriving at Albany December 26th, and reported to General Schuy- ler, with his horses. The General was so busy that Lieutenant Thompson could not see him for three days, when he makes this final entry of this expedition : "December 30. Did my business with the General and at three o'clock set out for home on foot. At night lodged at Miller's."
His marriage ceremonies were about seventy. Thirty three he recorded commencing July 21, 1799, and the last January 19, 1814.
