Invariably the histories of the valley record the generosity of Sir William toward all the Chris- tlon work which was being car- ried on by the Dutch and Eng- lish and German churches. Ac- cording to their story the baronet greatly aided every enterprise of such sort up to the time of his death. Doubtless he did make cer- tain gifts for certain reasons to the work thus carried on, but it is a singular omission that in, the old treasurers' books and papers, of which we have examined not a copy through the years, that Sir William lived, we have never seen his name save on Schenectady First Presbyterian.

These notes and records of the Johan Jost Petrie family and de- ces of family history in the United scendants in America were com- piled by the late Mrs. Frederick Staenla, of Munnaville, N. Y. Her notes have been checked, so far as we have been able to do so, and we will try to complete her work. Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Petrie, Johnstown, N. Y.


States is to be found in the as- tonishing collection of data recent- ly assembled and indexed in the Cornell Archives by Mrs. Edith M. Fox the curator of the history de- partment. If Mrs. Fox could only spread herself over more of the country, unknown history and long lost family ties would be bet- ter known.


A note of explanation of the purpose of the collection is cited in the W. Pierrepont white data. While the Archives are delimited to the Newfork area, it reaches out to cover regions far beyond in its scope. There are eight White collections, Hugh Williams, N. Andrew D. Wim. Pierrepont and others. Not to omit Whitestown and White Plains .Canvass White, son of Hugh who founded Whites- boro, visited England prior to the Revolution, later becoming an en- gineer on the Erie Canal and many other such waterways in the U. S. A .. Others of this family owned plantations in Mississippi (1820), cotton mills, in New York and built better roads for traffic.


The William Pierrefont - White (many of us recall his vigorous activities) collection alone consists of 10,000 letters, 113 letter books, 25 volumes of accounts, five boxes of maps, five survey portfolios seventeen wall maps, 1200 pamph- lets and 50 miscellaneous volumes. A later addition (1947) of eleven volumes and 864 pieces refer to the Pierrepont Manor House (1827) and the work of Wm. Con- stable, contractor (1801 - 1810), and a series of letters written by Franklin B. Hough of Union Col- lege Class of 1843 on the Oswego Life Boats (1853-1875). The two boxes of the Whiteside collection includes such homey topics as the (1769-1938) land rentals in Wash- ington County, fixed at 20 bushels of wheat for 100 acres, exemption of taxes in church property, slave bills, labor accounts, inventions, rents, in Montreal, use of herb scull cap to treat the victim of a rabied dog, and a large amount of Clinton, and Washington Co. gen- eaiogy. The canvass white data consists of 609 pieces (1814-1835) ; The Hugh White data (1715-1750) has 26 boxes, 40 vols and a port- folio of maps and includes inti- mate material about the folks in the towns of St. Regis, Malone, Albion, Orwell, Redfield, Rodman, etc. and such families as the Ax- tells, Dustons, Mills, Niles, Van Waganen. Young and Mansfield.


It would be trespassing on the "News" space to detail the gene- alogical items scattered thro these reports of the Cornell Regional Documents and the reasonable re- action to these volumnious refer- ences is a personai research of the same as they are available. Brows- ing thro these reports at random we come upon these families:

Russell Genealogy


By NELLIE L. RUSSELL Bay Shore, N. Y.


Stephen Russell 'of East Hamp- ton, Long Island and Haddam, Conn. and some of his descend- ants.


(Index will be published after last installment)


As early as 1657 there: 'were Russells living in Eastern Long Island. A William Russell was liv- ing in Southampton at that time; in 1708 a Samuel Russell was in East Hampstn and in 1720-a John Russell of Bridgehampton bought 90 acres of meadow land in East Hampton.


I have been unable to ascertain which Russell family of Eastern Long Island Stephen Russell was related to.


In 1770 Stephen Russeil married in East Hampton, Elizabeth Chat- field, daughter of John Chatfield and Jane Mulford of East Hamp- ton. (See Hedges History of East Hampton, L. I. for genealogy of Chatfield and Mulford families.)


Elizabeth Chatfield Russell was born/Sept. 29, 1751 in East Hamp- ton, L. I. and died at Haddam, Conn., June 3, 1802. (Bur. Shiler- ville Cem. Haddam.)
