GENEALOGICAL WORLD
Miss Dorothy C. Barck, librarian of the New York Historical Associa- tion), 170 Central Park West, who visited the Enterprise and News of- fice last week said that her society Is always interested in receiving ad- vance notices of local histories and new genealogical works. The society maintains an extensive collection in both flelds in their building on Cen- tral Park West.
Miss Barck is also national presi- dent of the American Association for State and Local History, a group which was organized about five years ago and Is steadily growing. Mem- bership costs $2 a year. The secre- tary is Miss Nell Hines, Box 1881, Raleigh, N. C. The association issued a "Handbook of, Historical Socie- ties" several years " ago which is available from the secretary. A publi- cation called "The News" is , issued every two. months.
je The study of genealogy was a great help to a Schenectady author, Martha Harper, in discovering the past for her . new book, "Red Silk Pantalettes," according to Dorothy S. Nelson, in the Schenectady Union- Star. The story takes 1ts plot in part from the life of Mrs. Harper's grandmother, the Martha Jane of the story. It was partly to make her real to her grandchildren, two of the great-grandparents that Mrs. Harper wrote the novel.
The editor is always interested in short unpublished resumes of the lineages of Mohawk Valley afmilies. If you have an available copy send one in to me.
Readers who answer questions are urged to make a duplicate and send them to this newspaper so that all the other readers may benefit there- by. I would also like to see more queries come in.

Stevens Family of Schenectady
Delivered before the Schenectady Genealogical Society Sept .. 4, 1945
By LLOYD M. BRINKMAN
It is not within the scope of this paper to give a complete lineal tree of this early family, but rather to set the stage for other papers to fol- low in due time. The earliest records which show the' migrations of this family name are worthy of more than passing glance and I therefore quote them up to the point of settle- ment in Schenectady.
famlly comes down from the Spanish "Esteban." The Stephans family of England and America descended from the Norman house of "Fitz- Stephan." The coat of arms was reg- Istered In the Court of Heralds many times and the original cuts are in the British Museum. The earliest re- corded use of the seai is by William Fitz-Stephen, Baron of 'Wapley,' in 1131 A. D. 1 1
The Fitz-Stephan family came to England with William the Conqueror and became feudal baron in Glouces- tershire from the reign of Henry II. From 1066 A. D. to 1599 A. D., there was one line passing the title and es- tates from father to son. Richard Fitz-Stephan died in 1599 A. D. leav- ing three sons, Richard, the eldest and stili head of the family, James, who died without issue and Thomas from whom the American branch
came. Some notes on the family line of descent follows:

ANSWER TO BELLINGER QUERY
Two letters came to me from L. H. Stone and one letter came to you from Mrs. Irene Foster, both from Klamath Falls, Oregon, on the same subject, viz. John Bellinger, his wife and widow, from Wellsboro, Pa., out of the Mohawk Valley. (Mrs. Fos- ter's query appeared in issue of Au- gust 22, 1946.)
That is very little to go on, ex- cept, I remembered the town of Wellsboro was the place where a sol- dier of War of 1812 moved to, as mentioned in his pension, WC6698.
Your, letter gives their John as married to Abigail- and the family living in Charleston, Pa.
This letter may help them out and show them where they can look or have paid searchers work for them, as in the U. S. Census records of Wellsboro, Pa. and Charleston, Pa., from 1850 to 1860 and 1870. The cen- sus sheets of 1880 and later are not available to the public,
In my Pre-Revolutionary War Bel- linger Family, is shown that 354 Peter J. Bellinger (see above men- tioned pension) moved to Charles- ton, Pa. 1837 from near St. Johns- ville and in 1852 to Wellsboro, Tioga county, Pa.
354 Peter J. had a son John born 1822 who had a wife named Abigail- who was executrix for the soldier's widow, Catharine (Shale) Bellinger, also for her own husband No. 1313 John Bellinger who died before his mother. Abigail received the last pension check 1 June 1878. -
354 Peter J., the soldier, born about 1780, died 21 Aug. 1864; his widow Catharine died 31 May 1877. The soldier's half sister, Nancy Scott, (presumably wife of John Scott) was' 1005 Springdale Road,
maker of an affidavit on the pen- sion cited before, so was John Scott; all were from Tioga Co., Pa.
This 354 Peter (4) J. was'son of 58 John Jost (3) born about 1751; whose father was 6 Philip (2), son of | New York state about 1800, his wife 66 Oak street,
1 Johannes (1).
Details are as follows: 58 John Jost (3) Bellinger, record AND notes are in Enterprise and News issue of 30 Oct. 1941:
352 John Jost (4) B. born Sept. 1781, record and notes in the Enterprise and News issue of July 9, 1942. No. 352 and his twin brother 353 David are the progenitors of the Watertown, N. Y. and the Enos, N. Y. tribes of Bellingers and there are plenty of them, including doctors and sheriff.
354 Peter (4) J. B. born about 1780 the soldier of 1812 and his half sis- ter 355 Nancy Scott are in the En- terprise and News issue of July 16, 1942, also 1313 John Bellinger, born 1822 and wife Abigail.
Children of 354 Peter J. are named Levi, 1819; John, 1822; Peter, 1832; Norman, 1835; the last three names and dates are from U. S. Census of 1850
353 David (4) settled in and
around Watertown, N. Y., not in Pa. Falls It will be seen that the Klamath David Bellinger does not fit as brother of 354 Peter J. as is shown in my Pre-Rev. War Bellinger. Their David may be a cousin instead of brother. This could be checked in the U. S. Census Bureau and in Archives Building, Pensions, both in Washing- ton.
The names John, Abigail and David are used in the St. Johnsville fam- ily, also in recollections of the Kla- math Falls family who are_on a warm trail. I should say.
There is no book yet on the New York Bellingers, some 5,000 are re- presented. I hoped to gt out a book for about $4.00 a volume but that was a pre-war price.

In this chapter we will take up another son of Conrad House . and ary 4, 1879"Lillis Teller.
Engelge his wife. Our studies into the history of the different House lines has shown very clearly that Captain Christian House was also a brother of the four mentioned above. The Stone Arabia church records show that Christian Hauss and Christina Richtmeyer were married Septem- ber 10, 1765. The Rev. Abraham Ros- encrantz' German Flats Reformed Church records show that Conrad House and Engelga his wife were sponsors to the baptism of several of their grandchildren, among whom were children of Jonathan, Harmon- us and Christian. In volume 1, page 27, they were sponsors at the bap- tism of Engelga, daughter of Har- monus House and wife Margretha. In volume 1, page 82, they were spon- sors for Conrad, son of Christian House and Christian his wife and on page 84 they were sponsors for En- gelga, daughter of Jonathan House and Lena his wife. In many other church records we find the same families very closely connected.
Of the family of Christian House and Christina his wife, we have a very limited record. In addition to Conrad mentioned above there wa" a John Christian who married Anna Bellinger. In a letter from Mrs. V. E. Hayes of St. Johnsville, Janua . 28, 1930, she says, "My mother v .: Rosina House. She was a daughter : John Christian House who was a Er" of Capt. Christian House.

'LOCAL HISTORY"
Danforth Family of Schoharie
bý EZRA G. BENEDICT FOX
(From the Quarterly Bulletin Jan- uary and April, 1946, published by the Schoharie County Historical So- ciety.)
In 1634, Nicholas Danforth, then 48 years old, accompanied by his three sons and three daughters, arrived at Boston in the ship 'Griffin' from Lon- don. It is not known what impelled him to leave his native Framingham in Suffolk, England, where his ances- tors had lived since at least 1512 'and possibly even earlier. Perhaps it was the loss of his wife Elisabeth a few years before; perhaps there were oth- er reasons. The famous Cotton Math- er, in volume two of his "Magnalia," refers to him in the following terms:
"Mr. N. Danforth; a gentleman of such estate and repute in the world that it cost him a considerable sum to escape the knighthood which K. Charles I imposed on all of so much per annum; and of such figure and esteem in the church that he pro- cured that famous lecture at Fram- ingham in Suffolk, where he had a fine manour;which lecture was kept by Mr. Burroughs and many other noted ministers in their turn; to whom, especially to Mr. Shepard, he prov'd a Gaius, and especially when the Laudian fury scorched them." (This latter reference is to Arch- bishop Laud, who under Charles the First used his almost unlimited pow- er as Archbishop of Canterbury to persecute Puritans and other dissen- ters from the Church of England.)
i Settling in Cambridge, Nicholas Danforth was chosen the next year a member of the General Court (the colony's legislative body) and when the important committee to "take order .for a college at Newetown" (Harvard) was selected in 1637, he was appointed a member.
Jonathan, the youngest of Nicho- las' three sons, was the progenitor of the Danforths of Middleburg. In his early manhood he moved, to the then new town of Billerica (Mass.) where, in time, he became a select- man, town clerk, representative, and captain of the militia company. He died at the age of eighty-two (1712) and is buried in the old cemetery there where his tombstone, on which is carved a skull, can still be seen. In the inventory of his estate he is described as "Captain Jonathan Dan- forth, Gentm."
On December 21, 1752, at Brook- field, Mass. Jonathan's great great grandson, also named Jonathan, was born to -Thomas " Danforth' and his
wife, nee Sarah Butterfield
of Chelmsford. This Jonathan took part in the battle of Bunker Hill, together with his father, brother and thirteen other kinsmen, and later served in the company commanded by his older brother, Asa, under General Gates at the battle of Saratoga which led to the surrender of General Burgoyne. Perhaps because of his having cam- paigned in the Hudson River Valley, he moved from Brookfield in 1784 with his wife, Judith Spaulding Dan- forth, and their young son, Thomas Paine, to Albany where he lived on the site of the present Court of Ap- peals Building.
