I have not been able to find much info other than he married Harriet Thomas who was born abt. 1799 and died on 9 Jan 1834 in CT. They had Truman E., William E, Amasa Legrand, Mary Ann, Charles M, Harriet and Alonzo. Amasa was my 3rd G-grandfather. There is a chance that Thomas is in the 1790 Litchfield, CT census. I can't verify. It would be wonderful to know where Thomas W. was from and who he descended from. This is my brick wall! Thanks for all the great information. Today was the 1st day I have come upon it.<br /><br />Marcia ZinserAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185469036263216188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241766817402196317.post-79369789298670170052018-04-16T22:53:52.051-07:002018-04-16T22:53:52.051-07:00Donn Behl's email is twobzs@hotmail.comDonn Behl's email is twobzs@hotmail.comBev Royerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055749084186869032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241766817402196317.post-14229254665253236632018-04-16T22:51:50.128-07:002018-04-16T22:51:50.128-07:00From Donn Behl :
My input is for Hannah #7. Hanna...From Donn Behl :<br /><br />My input is for Hannah #7. Hannah married Matthew Stevens of the Northeast area. His family had migrated from Danbury to Putnam, to Dutchess. They had several children, the oldest was Abigail Stevens. Hannah died in 1775 associated with child birth and is buried at Winchell Mountain (with child). If you look up Thomas Crosby on Find-a-Grave at Winchell Mountain, when the picture comes up, there is a gravestone at the top right with a star on it, that is Hannah’s.<br /><br />Matthew then married Rebecca Alsworth of the Northeast area in 1776. They then moved to the Cambridge/Shushan area. Matthew and Rebecca are buried at Shushan/Eagleville (Binninger) Cem. in Washington Co, and there is also a memorial for Hannah there.<br /><br />Abigail Stevens married John McChesney, who had migrated from Ireland in 1764 as an infant. They were married at Cambridge Presbyterian Church in 1785. They resided at Hebron, Rupert, Vt, and lastly at Richland, Oswego Co., where they are buried at Pulaski Cem.<br /><br />Matthew and Hannah are my 5th great grandparents, John and Abigail my 4th Great Grandparents. My mother was a McChesney. This line, back through Thomas and Elizabeth (Hopkins) Crosby was just approved through the Mayflower Society this last fall.Bev Royerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055749084186869032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241766817402196317.post-68304683087467579772013-09-28T08:14:34.148-07:002013-09-28T08:14:34.148-07:00This is fantastic CROSBY history. My g-g-grandmoth...This is fantastic CROSBY history. My g-g-grandmother was Sarah (Sally) Pauline Crosby. She descends from Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower, of which I am a member. Also, her Thomas Crosby allowed me to join the DAR. I love what you have found & it is a wonderful site!

I have picked up my Garrison family research again after a 30 year hiatus to raise a family and work in the rat race. I have as of late been specifically trying to verify John Garrison’s (1733-1796, husband of Susannah Crosby and father of Aaron Garrison) Revolutionary War service. I was given information 35 years ago that he served in Weissenfel’s Regiment. I know there was a John Garrison in that regiment but I’m not sure it’s my fifth great grandfather. He was in his mid 40’s or older during the war and had at least 2 children (there were a total of 10 or 11) born during the war. Aaron was in his early to mid 20’s during the war. I have seen no sign of military service for him and that has surprised me. Then I read Obadiah Crosby’s pension application and was quite surprised. Aaron did definitely live in Schodack, Rensselaer County after leaving Dutchess (Putnam) County, where he was a tenant farmer at Rensselaerswyck. I still can find no record of his service. I also didn’t realize you could find a substitute for your military service.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The other area I am looking at is trying to verify that the Garrisons were in the Dutchess (now Putnam) County Town of Southeast. I have information that Aaron was born in Southeast in 1758 but haven’t verified it. John and Susannah were, I believe, married in Southeast. What I really want to know is where John came from. I know he was born in 1733 (it is on his gravestone in the Nassau Schodack Cemetery) but I don’t know where. Ralph Phillips, a distant cousin and genealogist friend of mine in the 1970’s, was always trying to determine that. I thought he may have come from Cape Cod with the Crosby’s and other families who migrated there in the 1730’s. However, I’ve yet been able to find any verification of that. <br /><br />Paul GarrisonPaul Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678628002749575764noreply@blogger.com
