• Notes

  Joanna and Paul lived in Millston, N.J., then in Bushwick, L.I., and later in Wappingers Falls, N.Y. In 1774-78, he was manager of a mill which Leonard Lewis had established on the Val Kill where it enters the Hudson River, and during this period he lived in the Lewis House. The site rapidly increased in importance and became known as "the Upper Landing." In the 1780's he was in New Lebanon, N.Y., and around 1800 he was back in Poughkeepsie, where he was a well-known merchant. He was a member of the Committee for Detecting Conspiracies Aug. 9, 1777, along with Andrew Billings, Peter Tappan, and John Schneck. His name appears on the list of Deputies to the Provincial Congress in 1776, and he was among those who signed the Articles of Association. ** From http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/henry/genealogy/siblings.htm#schenck
