X. JAMES D.⁷ VANDEBURG (Peter⁶, John⁵, Peter⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Peter Vandeburgh and Hannah Sherzey, was born on 13 or 15 Jan 1816, probably in Lexington, Greene County, NY.⁴⁴ He married, first, on 2 May 1840, MARILLA CROSBY, who was born on 9 Apr 1820, probably the daughter of Parker and Rebeca (Carroll) Crosby of Greene County. James and Marilla settled in that part of the town of Lexington which later became the town of Halcott, Greene County. Here, James was a farmer.

On 16 Sep 1836, Greene Co. deed X:75, Harmon M. Vanbenscoten and wife Caroline of Fallsburgh, Sullivan Co., NY for $125 sold to James the East half of Lot #8, in Great Lot 20, Division 37 of the Hardenburgh Patent.

Two years later on 5 Apr 1845, deed 35:203, Eder and his wife, Harriet sold their interest in the same acreage to James for $300. This probably meant that James was charged with taking care of his parents in their later years.

On 29 Apr 1847, deed 38:289, Miles Johnson and Anna, his wife of Hunter, Greene Co. sold for $800 to James 131 3/4 acres in Lexington which were part of the Southerly half of Lot No. 38 in Great Lot No. 20 Hardenburgh Patent. On 1 Apr 1850, deed 44:375, James and his wife, Marilla for $900 sold part of this same property to William Earle of Lexington.

In 1850, James and his family were still living in the Halcott portion of Lexington. On 19 Nov 1851, the Greene County Board of Supervisors reviewed a petition for the erection of the town of Halcott. The New York State Legislature approved it, and on 6 Apr 1852 the first Halcott town meeting was held in James' house. During this meeting the town's board of officers was elected and included James as a clerk.

James' wife, Marilla died on 15 May 1852 at the age of 32 years, one month, and six days and is buried in the Halcott Cemetery, Halcott, Greene Co., NY. Later that same year on 4 Sep 1852, James married, second, SARAH P. CROSBY who was born in Lexington about 1830, the daughter of Benjamin Lewis Crosby and Huldah Hull. Sarah was a first cousin to Marilla, James' first wife.

Still residing in Halcott, James and his wife, Sarah on 23 Nov 1852, deed 51:349, for $80 sold land to Jonathan C. Allaben of Middletown, Delaware County. Next on 15 Feb 1859, deed 55:223, they sold for $3,000 to Ezekiel Kelly of Roxbury, Delaware Co., NY 108 acres in Halcott known as Lot No. 7 in subdivision No. 36 in Great Lot No. 20 of the Hardenburgh patent. Excepted out was the Church lot. Also included in this transaction was another lot bordering the church lot that Levi Ellis lived on.

The following year, 1860, James and Sarah were living at Pine Hill, Shandaken, Ulster Co., NY. Here, James was employed as a master tanner with real estate valued at $2,500 and personal property worth $3,000.

In 1861, James and his family moved to La Salle Co., Illinois. He remained there four years, whereupon he moved to Rock Island Co., IL where he resided until 1875. Then he went to Shelby Co., Iowa and purchased 160 acres of land. He was the first settler in the neighborhood, there being no house east of his place in the county. The nearest house was five miles away. Out of the wilderness, James developed a farm that became one of the best in his township. He had a good residence surrounded by a grove of maples, and an orchard, a large barn, and other farm buildings.

James died on 21 Jan 1903 at Manning, Jackson Township, Carroll Co., IA. Children:

In an affidavit filed 27 Sep 1880, he withdrew that part of his claim which referred to the shell wound of the head, since he could not furnish the necessary proof.

After the war, Stephen was a farmer and resided in the town of Nanticoke, Broome Co., NY from 17 Jun 1865, his date of discharge from the army, to 1 May 1878. From 1 May 1878 to April 1879, he resided in Maine, Broome Co., NY.

After the war, Lyman returned to farming in Tekonsha on 80 acres of land that his father had purchased and willed to Lyman's wife and children.

The marriage for both of the Poughkeepsie residents was performed by Rev. L. F. Waldo.⁸² Two years later, Martin and Caroline had their daugher, Margaret Jane Myers, baptized on 1 Jul 1849 at St. James Episcopal Church in Hyde Park. Mrs. Ann Vanderburgh and the parents were sponsors. This Ann Vanderburgh was probably Martin's stepmother.⁸³

What happened to Martin's wife and child by 1850 is not known.⁸⁴ In that year, Martin is found, without his wife and child, residing in Newburgh with Caleb Osborn, a shoe maker, and his family. Martin's occupation at this time was that of a chair maker.⁸⁵

Martin married, second, on 16 Mar 1856, LETITIA REYNOLDS,⁸⁶ daughter of David Reynolds and Sarah Clark.⁸⁷ The marriage occurred at the home of Stephen W. Brown in Cornwall, Orange County, NY. Abijah Dan, a Justice of the Peace for Orange County, officiated at the ceremony.⁸⁸ Letitia was born in New York State about 1836.⁸⁹ At the time of her marriage, she was a resident of Newburgh.⁹⁰

In 1860 Martin resided in Newburgh with his family. He was still employed as a chair maker with an estate valued at $400.⁹¹

Two years later, Martin, like many of his contemporaries, joined the Union cause in the Civil War as a private in Company G, 168th Regiment of the New York State Volunteer Infantry (also known as the 19th NY State Militia Infantry). He gave his occupation as a painter when he joined for duty. He enrolled in the 168th on 20 Oct 1862 at Newburgh. He mustered into Company G on 23 Jan 1863 for a period of nine months. Martin accompanied the 168th when on 14 Feb 1863 it left for Baltimore, MD. Soon it moved to Norfolk, VA where it was attached to Busteed's Independent Brigade, 4th Army Corps, Department of Virginia until Apr 1863. Then it became part of King's Independent Brigade, 4th Army Corps to June 1863. During this entire period, the 168th served garrison duty at Yorktown, VA.

The 168th was next assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, 4th Army Corps to July 1863. During this time, Martin and his regiment participated in Dix's Peninsula Campaign from 24 June to 7 July. Then the regiment proceeded to Funkstown, MD. Martin was on duty until 11 Jul 1863 when he left the infantry at Frederick, Maryland on account of sickness and disabilities. He was still sick as of 31 Aug 1863. During his enlistment, Colonels Samuel Hunter and William R. Brown commanded the 168th Regiment.

Martin's illness and disabilities probably kept him out of action when his regiment joined the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 11th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac at Hagerstown, MD on 14 July. The regiment then participated in the pursuit of Gen. Lee's forces to Masassas Gap, VA until 24 July. From that time on, the 168th performed guard duty along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad until Oct 1863. Martin was mustered out of service along with his regiment on 31 Oct 1863 at Newburgh.⁹²

In 1870, Martin was back home in Newburgh.⁹³ In 1880, Martin and his family were living on the north side of Ann Street in Newburgh.⁹⁴

Martin applied for a civil War pension on 5 Jul 1890. In his claim, Martin stated that because of illness contracted during the Civil War, he had suffered from rheumatism from about 1883 or 1885. As a result, he was awarded a pension because his manual labor capabilities had decreased by 75 percent.⁹⁵

Martin died at his home on 7 Edward St. in Newburgh on 2 Aug 1893. At the time of his death, Martin was working as a chair maker. He is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery at Newburgh in a burial plot purchased by the Ellis Post, Grand Army of the Republic. Thirty-nine other veterans are interred in the same plot.⁹⁶

Martin's wife, Letitia applied for a widow's pension on 8 Aug 1893, which she received until her death on 4 Jan 1907.⁹⁷ Children:⁹⁸

XX. EFFINGHAM⁷ VANDERBURGH (Lewis⁶, Henry⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______, was born on 30 Jun 1830.⁹⁹ His birth occurred in Dutchess County, NY.¹⁰⁰ On 22 May 1850, he married MARY YELVERTON in the Dutch Reformed Church at New Hackensack, NY.¹⁰¹ In August of that year they were living with Mary's family in Poughkeepsie where Effingham was working as a cabinet maker.¹⁰²

By 1860, Effingham, Mary, and their five children were living in Newburgh, Orange Co., NY where Effingham was employed as an upholsterer.¹⁰³

The Civil War encroached on Effingham's family, and he served two tours of duty. On 16 Aug 1861, he joined the 56th Regiment of New York Infantry which was organized at Newburgh. The Regiment mustered in 28 Oct 1861. Effingham joined Company B as a First Lieutenant and departed with the Regiment on 7 Nov 1861 for Washington, DC. The Regiment was on duty in the defense of Washington until Mar 1862. However, Effingham received a discharge at Washington, DC on 8 Feb 1862 after serving six months and 22 days.

Back home, the 5 foot, 5 1/2 inch, light haired, fair complexioned, blue-eyed Effingham took up the occupation of a cabinet maker. This lasted for two years until his next call to duty at Goshen, NY. Here, he enlisted as a sergeant on 29 Aug 1864 into Captain Charles F. Hartman's Company I of the 1st Regiment of New York Engineers or "Serrell's Engineers." The Regiment had been organized at New York City and mustered in by companies. Company I mustered 13 Dec 1861, and joined by Companies G and K left New York the following day for Port Royal, SC. By April 1864, Companies I, A, C, and G were assigned to the District of Hilton Head, SC., 10th Army Corps, Department of the South. Here in South Carolina, Effingham probably joined his unit. He may have participated in the Hatch Expedition up Broad River, SC during 28-30 Nov 1864; the Battle of Honey Hill, 30 Nov; and engagements at Deveaux's Neck on 6 Dec. The Regiment continued with the Department of the South through 30 Jun 1865 when it mustered out. Three days later on 3 Jul 1865, Effingham received his discharge at Hilton Head after serving 10 months and four days, and returned to New York State.¹⁰⁴

On 5 Aug 1875, Effingham's wife, Mary, died.¹⁰⁵ The following year, he married on 14 Jun 1876 MARGARET M. LEWIS.

In 1877, Effingham and his family were living at Washingtonville, Orange County, NY. Three years later, he moved to the town of Florida, Warwick Township in Orange County. Here, he and his family made their final home as Effingham became an established cabinetmaker and undertaker.

In the eighteen nineties, many Civil War veterans became eligible for government pensions. Effingham not only received a pension, but also received special consideration from the US Government. In 1906 the US Senate's Committee on Pensions reviewed House of Representatives bill 19118 granting an increase of pension to Effingham. The House report stated in part:

From proof filed with the committee it appears that the soldier suffered a paralytic stroke in November, 1902, and that a year or so later he suffered a second stroke, requiring the aid and attendance of two persons; that while able to sit in a chair and having partial use of his arms he has no use whatever of his lower limbs, and that he has no property except the pension and the aid of his children.

Special legislation in behalf of this soldier is fully justified in view of his helpless condition and poverty, and is in line with numerous precedents. The passage of the bill is therefore recommended."
On 29 Jun 1906, Congress granted an increase to Effingham's pension and directed and authorized the Secretary of the Interior to increase his pension from $12 per month to $30 per month. The benefits were short lived, for Effingham died on 19 Oct 1906 in the town of Florida. He was buried at Washingtonville, NY on 22 Oct 1906. Over 50 years later, Emma A. Vernon Anderson, who knew Effingham, recalled his patriotism when in a statement dated 28 Mar 1958 she said "and could he make a rousing patriotic speech!"

Effingham's second wife, Margaret, had died on 24 Jul 1897, also at the town of Florida.¹⁰⁶ Children:

XX. ALONZO⁷ VANDERBURGH (Lewis⁶, Henry⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), son of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______, was born on 6 Oct 1831¹⁰⁹ in Dutchess Co., NY.¹¹⁰ He was baptized as an adult on 3 Jun 1849 at St. James Church, Hyde Park, NY and confirmed there on 17 Jun 1849.¹¹¹

In 1850, Alonzo was a laborer residing on a farm with James D. Wing and family in the town of Stanford.¹¹² On 8 Nov 1853, in the Stanford Christian Church, Alonzo married MARIA BERRY,¹¹³ daughter of Peter and Content (Sherman) Berry.¹¹⁴

In 1860, Alonzo was still in Stanford with his wife and child where he was farm laborer with a personal estate worth $250.¹¹⁵

Maria died on 11 Jan 1862 at the age of 28 and is buried in the Community Cemetery at Standfordville.¹¹⁶ After her death, Alonzo and his children boarded with the Thomas Merriot family, prosperous Quaker farmers in Stanfordville. Leaving the children in care of the Merriots, Alonzo left to serve in the Civil War. He was enrolled on 4 Oct 1862 in Company C, 150th Regiment of the New York State Volunteers. He was mustered out as a private on 8 Jun 1865 near Washington, DC. One of his more significant campaigns was serving in the battle at Gettysburgh.¹¹⁷ Immediately after his discharge, Alonzo returned to Dutchess County, was reunited with his three year old son, Herbert, and once again boarded in Stanford with Thomas Merriot and his family. Where Alonzo's six year old daughter, Ida, was residing at this time is not known.¹¹⁸

Alonzo remarried on 9 Dec 1865 at the Stanfordville Christian Church, HARRIET E. (SHEPHERD) LOVELACE, a widow of George Lovelace, who had two daughters by her first marriage. George Lovelace had been a friend of Alonzo's who had been killed in the war.¹¹⁹

On 20 Dec 1865, Alonzo bought a farm from William Cornell on the east side of present day County Road 13 in Clinton Corners.¹²⁰ A year earlier, his brother, David, had purchased a farm on the west side of the road from William Burnett.¹²¹

Alonzo died on 4 Apr 1900.¹²² His second wife, Harriet, died on 25 Oct 1911 at the age of 85. Alonzo and Harriet are buried in the Friend's Upton Lake Cemetery at Clinton, Dutchess Co., NY.¹²³ Children, all by Maria Berry:

XX. MELISSA⁷ VANDERBURGH (Lewis⁶, Henry⁵, James⁴, Henry³, Dirck², Lucas¹), daughter of Lewis Vanderburgh and ______ ______, was born on 24 Nov 1832,¹²⁴ probably at home in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., NY. By 1850, the 18 year old Melissa had left her father and stepmother's home and was living in Poughkeepsie with members of the Dickinson family. Also living with the Dickinsons were Abraham Donaldson and his brother, Isaac.¹²⁵

Melissa married on 5 Oct 1853 at Arthursburgh, NY, ISAAC TITUS DONALDSON.¹²⁶ He was born on 27 Jan 1831¹²⁷ in NY State,¹²⁸ the son of David and Mary (Greene) Donaldson.¹²⁹ At the time of their marriage, they were both living in Poughkeepsie.¹³⁰ In Nov 1857, Isaac leased a farm called "Grove Farm" from Dr. Ammi Dougleday in the vicinity of Binghamton, NY.¹³¹ How and why Isaac Donaldson found himself renting a farm from him is not known. However, Melissa's relatives may have had something to do with it. Her aunts, Margaret Vanderburgh and Frances (Vanderburgh) Sturges, (Mrs. John G.), were living in Binghamton about this time.¹³² They may have provided the link that brought Isaac and Melissa to Broome County from Dutchess County. Melissa's sister, Susan, who married Cornelius Davis, also settled in Binghamton, but probably at a later date.

By 1860, Isaac and Melissa were back in Dutchess County living with Isaac's brother, Abraham, in the town of Poughkeepsie.¹³³ Two years later, Melissa died on 11 Apr 1862, and was buried in the Donaldson burial plot in the Quaker Cemetery at Crum Elbow, Hyde Park, NY.¹³⁴ After her death, Isaac remarried and had several more children.

On 31 Mar 1839, she was baptized at St. James Church in Hyde Park, NY,¹⁵¹ and was confirmed there on 18 Oct 1855.¹⁵²

Emily's middle name "Sherwood" probably came from the esteem her mother held for the Rector of St. James Church. Rev. Reuben Sherwood, D.D. was Rector at St. James Church from 1835 until his death in 1856. That same year, Emily and her mother were removed from the membership rolls of St. James' Church.¹⁵³

In 1850, Emily was living at home with her parents in Pleasant Valley.¹⁵⁴

On 22 Sep 1860, Emily married 23 year old JOHN T. SLATER of Newburgh, NY at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pleasant Valley, NY.¹⁵⁵ Emily may have had a second marriage. When her sister, Susan, died in 1901, her obituary cited a surviving sister as "Mrs. Emily Santry of Poughkeepsie."¹⁵⁶ However, a search of Poughkeepsie City Directories from 1900 - 1905 did not reveal any records of a Santry, Sentry, or Slater living there.

Rachel was probably named after her mother's sister. Her mother's sister, Rachel, was married to a William Morris as of 1836.¹⁶²

On 16 Apr 1860, Rachel married GEORGE M. CLEARWATER at St. Paul's Church. At the time of their marriage, both were residents of Pleasant Valley.¹⁶³ Rachel died on 17 Mar 1863 and was buried two days later in St. Paul's Episcopal Cemetery.
