I haven't lived in Pine Plains since 1987, but I visit often. I am the grandson of Alexander "Sandy" Keith who passed in 1977 and Gurtrude who passed in 1986. Bill and Trudie Wilson are my Aunt and Uncle. My mom rented the house across from the Chase farm in the 80's. The Chase family was very kind to us. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Chase. I was wondering if there was a way to post more historical pictures on the website. The info is very interesting. Thank you, Paul Vadney

I am planning to visit the Shekomeko Moravian Monument. Is it located at the intersection of Strever Farm Road and Bethel Cross Road, or at the intersection of Bethel Cross Road and Carpenter Hill Road? Kudos on the great website!
A very interesting website. I am a new owner of a house on Carpenter Hill and find the dedication and the quality of info found on this site to be very useful. It is fascinating to piece together the complex quilt of info that made up the generations of this community. It is well appreciated. My queries are 1. Where was the Moravian Monument moved from originally? and 2. Can someone explain the Gore line? I have pieced together a somewhat dubious understanding of the subject and would be interested in a fuller understanding. Thank You, Bridget Colman
cool website...my great grandfather, james sheehan, from ireland, moved to hicks hill farm in lafayetteville in 1861, not sure where this is...if you can help, knoch39@sbcglobal.net
THANKS
from vivian.crellin@tiscali,co,uk I am searching for the umage of an early nineteenth century needlework sampler made by pupils of the Nine Partners School, once in the posession of the school. I need it as an illustration of "Tokens of Love & Emblems of Charity" to be published soon. It shows emblems taken from Ackworth School, Yorkshire, and with the image I seek prmission to use it in the book.
Fantastic website ! I am planning trip to the area Oct 26 to find my g-g-g-g-g-grandfather's grave in Square Burying Ground. I have learned from your website it is located there. His name was Joseph Curtis and he moved there in about 1750 and died in 1785. Cudo's again to a great site. The mapping function tie in is awesome. You will find family descendants of the Joseph Curtis buried in Square Burying Ground at http://www.curtisit.com/curtis
Hello,
I happen to have a sampler needlework wrought by Eliza Bowne, Nine Partner's School, 1821. The subject of the verse is, Religion, with 12 lines that follow done exquisitely with what looks like the tiniest cross stitch. I beieve Eliza Bowne was a student at the Nine Partners School at the time that she completed this sampler. Do you have any further information on her? Thank you.

Dear Sirs,
I recently read the web article:
Vol. 2: Pine Plains: Its Unique Natural Heritage
Five Essays
§3 The Felix M. Warburg Memorial Hall of the American Museum of Natural History, New York City
by Phyllis S. Bush
-------------------------------------------
found at

I am very interested in the exhibit described in the article. I have visited it since I was a child and I was wondering if you knew who actually painted the diorama background for the ‘An October Afternoon near Stissing Mountain' exhibit in the New York State hall in the Museum of Natural History. Also, would if you know from what actual property the site for the view was selected from. (A man named Carter Gregory claimed the site view was taken from his yard.) Do you have any additional information on this? Also, when was it painted? I tried contacting your organization at this e-mail address: LNPHS@hotmail.com but it kept getting returned to me.
Thank you in advance to your attention to my questions. I have included a self-addressed stamped envelope for your convenience.
Respectfully,

David Johnston or Johnstone was one of the 9 partners of the /other/ Nine Partners Patent, the so-called Greater Nine Partners Patent.
You can find some information on him here

Greetings all,
I wanted to let you all know that the Moravian Historical Society has just added a page on the Shekomeko Monument to our website [http://www.moravianhistoricalsociety.org/monuments/shekomeko.php].
Taking on the project of creating pages for all of the Moravian Historical Society monuments has been a labor of love for me and our publications committee. Unfortunately, it seems that important stories of early colonial history are relegated to untouched books on secluded library bookshelves. Hopefully, including this information on the world wide web will bring these stories new life among students of history.
In addition to letting know about the new page, I wanted to publicly thank Rod and the members of the Little Nine Partners Historical Society. The "spark" for me taking on this project was my stumbling across the Little Nine pages... late one snowy night. I look forward to greeting y'all one day and thanking you in person!
I've included in the "For more information" section a link to the "Out of the Wilderness" pages. Please feel free to link the new Shekomeko page anywhere you feel appropriate. And if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to pass them along to me.
Thanks again to all!

My great grandfather was John Righter. I would really enjoy sharing family resources to see the full picture of the Righter/Richter family tree. Please let me know how best to contact you. Best, Philip Righter.

The article on the Melius Bentley home by Byrne Fone was of great interest, as Johnanne Melius is a direct ancestor of mine - especially the comment regarding the possibility that they were loyalists and that they did not sign the convention in support of the Continental Congress. This is consistent with the fact that the family moved west very shortly after the Erie Canal was opened to settle in Western New York, an area more populated by British descendants.
If you have further information on this topic, please write to me. Also, I would be interested in visiting the Melius Bentley home. What would be the proper protocol for contacting someone?

I just wanted to tell you what a great job you have done on this site. It has made for some fascinating reading and historical research.
Thanks,

Thanks, Steve. It's always nice to hear from folks who find our site useful.

We're a bit removed from you all over in Pine Plains, but I wanted to make you aware of this nonetheless.
In late February there will be a meeting of people interested in promoting awareness in Red Hook of the history and current status of the Mohican Indians, who are native to this area. The timing of this meeting and our subsequent efforts is designed to coincide with this year's commemoration of Henry Hudson's voyage to these lands 400 years ago, and a journey many Mohicans will be making from the Stockbridge Munsee Reservation in Wisconsin to the Mohican Homeland in late-August/early September.
I won't bother posting all of the information here, but I invite anyone interested to contact me: 845-750-6476.
Thank you,
Jeff Golden
Could you please correct my father's name - it is Erwin Glikes. He purchased the Hunnting house with Carol Janeway (currently it says Irwin Glick...). Sincerly, Lela Glikes
Please take a look at this historic document I have found in our Grandpa's attic. It appears to be a land deed for a section of Little Nine Partners with a date of 1773.

Is this of any interest? Does anyone have information on this or the names on it?
Thanks

My father Earl Van Leuven passed away recently and so began my journey to create a family tree. I have discovered that I am directly descended from the line of Van Leuven's that were early settlers in this area. Any information I can obtain to aid me in my endeavor would be greatly appreciated.
