Seeking parents, birthplace, anything on the origins of William Herald and his wife Anna (Hannah) Rose/Rosa/Roos. I suspect they may have migrated up from Ulster Co, NY William Herald b. 1765 likely NY state, died 11 Dec 1831 in Clifton Park, Saratoga County, NY. 1777-1779 served in the militia under Jacob Yates as a private (Albany/Rensselear/Saratoga Co’s). 1779 or 1782 married in Schaghticoke, NY in the Dutch Reformed church. Married to Anna (Hannah) Rose/Rosa/Roos (b. 1764)
1790 census living in Schaghticoke, NY. 1820 census living in Halfmoon, Saratoga County, NY. 1830 census living in Clifton Park, Saratoga Co.,NY Children (most baptized in Schaghticoke): Henry 1780, James 1783, Rachel 1784, John 1787, William 1791, Margaret 1795, Elias 1796, Priscilla 1810.

I found a James Herald in the Town of Moreau - the northern part of Saratoga County. He was the Town Collector from 1829-1833 and was elected Justice of the Peace in 1834 and 1843. This information came from Sylvester's History of Saratoga County. No other Heralds were named in the book.

from Calendar of Wills...Albany County NY... 1626-1835. Will #1251, William Neely. Written 5 Nov 1769, probated 7 Nov 1770. He was of Wallkill Precinct, Ulster Co, NY. Makes legacies to wife (not named), daughters Sarah, Martha, wife of Benjamin Hains, & Martha's children John, William & Elizabeth Hains, dau Elizabeth HARLOW (this is spelling in orininal) and grandchildren WILLIAM, HENRY & ELIZABETH HARROLD (my caps), and finally to his son William Neely. Executors son William and James McCobb, merchant. Witnesses William Young, William Stewat & Thomas Neely (I'm guessing this last is a brother since he mentions no son Thomas). I've been digging around on the Rosa/Rose side trying to connect one of your Anna's brothers (John & Cornelius) to a Garrett Rose on my line, born at Schaghticoke between 1806 and 1812.

Still haven't pinned them exactly but by process of elimination, I've ruled out all the other Roses in Rensselaer County in the target time period. I've even ruled out Cornelius' descendants, which leaves John's. He had 3 sons but the records are maddeningly quiet about their adult lives.

Hope I've helped you.

I am also researching a Rose line from this area and while I don't have any information for you, I was wondering if you may be able to help me. My Rose line is:
Phillip
b. 6 dec 1831 in schachticoke
m. Alinda E. Hall b. 1840 d.1866 both renesselear co
d. 1899 place unknown buried in brick church cem
his children are
Goodwin A. m. Ella Elizabeth Clum
b.12 Sep 1859 in Pitstown, Renesselaer, New York
d.19 Mar 1916 in Samaritan Hospital, Troy, New York
Mary Isadora (1862-1865)

Goodwin is f/o Fredrick Bertram Rose f/o Ella Elizabeth Rose (my grandmother)

I have no further information on Philip and was wondering if you might have an idea of which family, if any, he might fit into. I do have a census that says that his father was born in Prussia if that helps any.
