    • Benjamin Garratt marriage c 1780. So far first child was born 1785, but could be one earlier. Marbletown Reformed Dutch Church (or Dutch Reformed?) was at Stone Ridge. FamilySearch has several films - I think most are transcriptions. Baptisms 1746-1944. Marriages 1796-1930. See sheet in "Garratt" family file folder.

    • Was Benjamin still in Marbletown in 1800? I don't think so. Was he in Upper Canada or northern NY state? See Garratt file folder.
