1875 Maps of Sullivan County

Image
 In 1875, Frederick W. Beers published an atlas of Sullivan County, New York that shows many of the landowners. These cadastral maps are an incredible tool for helping to figure out where people lived at the time. The Atlas is available at the Library of Congress at  https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3803sm.gla00190/. The Table of Contents on page 1 shows what is in the volume. [1] Page 17-18 show a map of Sullivan County. [2] The Town of Fremont is located on the west side of the county bordering Delaware County, New York and the Delaware River. Across the river is Wayne County, Pennsylvania.  Page 33 shows a map of the Town of Fremont. [3] Hankins is located in District 1 at the bottom of the map in the center.  By cropping in and enlarging District 1 on the map of Fremont makes it easier to see the names of people who lived in that area. [4] I believe District 1 refers to the School District - since School no. 1 was at Hankins.  Page 35 shows the area that I thin...

Frederick Albert Timeline

Image
I'm starting to create timelines for residents of Hankins, New York. These aren't going to be great prose - more summaries of the information I find as I'm finding it.  First up in Frederick Albert.  From the 1872 Gazetteer  In 1872, Frederick W. Albert had a postal address in Hankins. He was a lumberman and farmer, who farmed 130 acres. [1] From the 1875 New York State Census, both the population schedule and the agricultural schedule.  In 1875, Frederick W. Albert lived with his wife Mary A., and his widowed father-in-law, William Kettle, in Fremont, Sullivan County, New York. They lived in a frame house valued at $ 600. Frederick, a 51 year old farmer was born in Pennsylvania. His wife Mary, age 40, and his father-in-law, William, age 60, were both born in Schoharie County. Both Frederick and William were native born citizens who were entitled to vote. Frederick owned the land where his house stood.[2]  Frederick owned 40 acres of land, half of which was impr...

1831 - Letter from John Hankins to Susan Hankins

Image
 I am very lucky to have several letters written by members of the Hankins family dating back to the 1830s. This first letter was written by John Hankins to his wife Susan (Thomas) Hankins in June 1831. John had traveled to Detroit, Michigan, and was writing home to let his wife know he had arrived safely.   I'm not sure where John and Susan were living at the time. In 1830, they were living at Ten Mile River, Lumberland, Sullivan County, New York. This letter is addressed to Susan at Coshecton. He didn't buy the land at what would become Hankins until December 1834.   I don't know why John traveled to Michigan in 1831, who he traveled with, or how long he stayed there. John Hankins and Susan Thomas married on 4 March 1830 in Damascus, Wayne County, Pennsylvania at her parents home. Their first child, Lucas Wurtz Hankins, was born 31 October 1831 at Ten Mile River.  Mrs Susan Hankins Coshecton Sullivan County New York. This With Care and Speede Detroit...
