Subject: Elizabeth SHOEMAKER b 10 Jul 1803 PA
About 1824 Tioga Co, NY (in the part that would become Chemung) Sackett HILL b1799 NY married Elizabeth SHOEMAKER 10 July 1803 PA. We have found no documentation who her parents were, but we have a good Suspect. (Besides, my grandma told me when I was small that Elizabeth's father was John.)
Johannes, Abram/Abraham, and Isaac SCHOONMAKER, three of six known children of Isaac Schoonmaker and Elizabeth BRINK from PA downriver from Pt Jervis. The other 3 I know little more about - Catrina, Jacob, and Benjamin. These three brothers showed up early at Tioga County as John, Abram and Isaac SHOEMAKER.
Abram was born 1758, Isaac 1770, John 1777 at Smithfield, Pike (Wayne, Northampton) Co PA. I don't know the circumstances (Brant?) but Isaac Sr died 1779 PA. I don't know who raised this family afterward, maybe brothers &c Brink.
I'm pretty sure these families were lumbering up and down the Delaware River mostly the PA side before they migrated to Tioga. Abram married another Brink, Cynthia. Together they had one son I know of, (another) Isaac b 1799. Isaac married Mary/Mariah SWARTWOUT, they raised 6 children but had their own Elizabeth born 1802 PA. That leaves John. John married Phebe DECKER b abt 1780 Delaware twp, Wayne Co (later Northampton, later Pike), PA.
John was on the Spencer, Tioga Co census by 1810 - along with Swartwoods, Deckers, Barnses and Ennises and a Thomas or two. John 10010|10110. At Tioga, Isaac and Abram settled Erin, while John went to Cayuta where Sackett Hill's father John lived. Another researcher and I figured out that Elizabeth and Sarah b 1805 PA were sisters. (Sarah married Brewster GOLDSMITH) I do not know who'd have been the son on the 1810 census.
What do I need? I want to find documentation that Elizabeth was born to John and Phebe. I haven't found anything for her from what I can find from Walpack, Sussex Co, NJ where the Schoonmaker kids were christened. I think she may have been born Delaware twp at what was then Wayne or Northampton Co, PA. Maybe I've not looked at the right source for that, or maybe I need to be looking elsewhere. Point me in the right direction, anyone!
