Description
Genealogy of the French Settlers of New Paltz to the Third Generation
by Louis Bevier
A thin typewritten record which starts with European historical background and description of emigration eventually to New Paltz.
Early refugees included Mathew Blanshan and his wife Maddeleen Jorisse and family in 1660. Other family members followed during that century, obtaining land near the Hudson and organizing a church.
The rest of this report, which spans through the mid eighteenth century, lists the names and various information about the persons such as birthdates, marriages dates, and locations.
