I am researching the Battle of Minisink and the raids on Peenpack (1778) and Minisinkn (1779). I would appreciate hearing from anyone with records (ie., journals, letters, etc.) concerning these events and locations.

what sources have you already consulted? what is your particular interest in Peenpack? i live about 30 minutes from Deerpark & i was raised near the Minisink Battleground @ Minisink Ford. infact i participated in the reinacting of the battle in 1976. i am currently in the process of writing a book about the Gumaer Family and what started out small is now a huge undertaking. i am descended of atleast three of the Peenpack Patentees- Gumaer, Cuddeback & Van Inwegen.

Contact me at CaptBrant1779@Yahoo.com...I have uncovered alot more on the Peenpack raid (1778) and the people and forts (Gumaer) involved. Am working on something myself and am looking for family traditions and papers, journals, etc. I am originally from your area and now the area well. Also, was very young but saw your reenactment in 1976. Would someday love to do one on THE BATTLEFIELD not at Museum Village.
