Notes for Tunis Swart DELAMATER
1809:
Tunis Delamater was born in Esopus, Ulster Cnty, NY.97
1835:
Tunis Swart Delamater married Sarah Maria Pough in New Paltz, Ulster Cnty, NY.161
1841:
Tunis’s wife, Sarah Maria Pough, died.160
1850:
Tunis lived in Northampton Township, Fulton Cnty in 1850. The 1850 Census lists the Tunis Dilamatter family as: Tunis, age 40 Farmer; Eunice, age 30; Hellen, age 7, attending school; Frances M., age 5, attending school; Eliza E., age 3; and John, age 3 mths.170
1857:
Tunis purchased land in Fulton Cnty, NY near Hagadorn Mills on 1 May 1857 for ninety-five dollars.171
The county line between Fulton and Saratoga and the township line between Broadalbin and Providence at this point is the Kenneyetto Creek. The old Delamater homestead stood on the Broadalbin Township, Fulton County side of the creek.172
When a boy, Howard F. Reed caught trout in the Kenneyetto Creek at the foot of the hill where the old Delamater house in Fulton Cnty, NY once stood, very near the old bridge where the Hagadorn Mills/Trevet Rd. crosses the creek. He recalled his mother, Bertha Rankie, talking about a “Grandfather Tunis.” As told to Howard F. Reed by his mother Bertha, the Delamater house stood on top of the hill above the Kenneyetto (Broadalbin side of the creek, right side of the road travelling from Broadalbin toward Hagadorn Mills). Currently (1996), this is a trailer court called White Birches. Howard F. Reed remembered an old foundation at this location when he was a child. He recalled all open, sandy fields at that time. He also recalled that the area was called "Delamater Hill" by the "old timers".7 This recollection was verified by a conversation he had with a Mrs. Lasher who was 88 as of 30 Apr 1997 and who lived her married life in the area and also by a conversation with an elderly male resident (name not written down, Howard F. Reed couldn't remember it) of the White Birches Trailer Court on the same day. This elderly man also recalled that the bridge described above was called the "Delamater Bridge. Howard F. Reed recalled that a pipeline from the Amsterdam Water Works crosses this Delamater property and that his father (Harry Reed) was hired to haul pipe for this project to this location."7 The existance of this pipeline is verified by deed dated 7 Jan 1890.173
