Generation No. 1

1.  JAMES8 ADAMS  (DAVID7, HENRY6, EDWARD5 SR., ENSIGN ADAMS, HENRY4 ADAMS, 
JOHN3, HENRY2, JOHN1) was born March 03, 1721/22 in Canterbury, Connecticut, 
and died Aft. 1788 in Pennsylvania, or New Jersey.  He married SARAH RICH 
February 05, 1750/51 in Canterbury, Connecticut, daughter of JONATHAN RICH 
and SARAH UNKNOWN.  She was born 1730 in Connecticutt, and died in 
Pennsylvania,  or New Jersey.

Notes for JAMES ADAMS:
"Cushetonk   1754-1784" by James W. Burban, "A Brief History of Early 
Settlers Who  Called Themselves The Delaware  Company" ,  states  "James 
Adams  (was) a grantee  in the third Indian Deed, signed at Coshaitan, 11 
November 1755.  He built his log house near  the mouth of Calkin's Creek, 
close to the house of Moses Thomas.  To this house he brought his wife and 
son, Deliverance Adams , then only seven or eight years old."  This son was 
born late in 1751, so the time mentioned would've been about 1759.  Two 
daughters had been born during that time period , with Sarah pregnant, or 
about to be, for a third daughter.  There is the question, what happened to 
these girls?  Did they die you, get left behind with relatives?  The births 
are recorded in Canterbury, Connecticut----at the time of the event, or at a 
later date?

The Nathan Skinner manuscript, states from a document still in file in 
Northampton Co., Pennsylvania , dated 8th June 1761 - "William Allen, chief 
Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania , ordered the sheriff of Northampton 
County to arrest Daniel Skinner, Timothy Skinner, Sim(e) on Calkin, John 
Smith , Jedidiah Willis, James Adams, Irwin (Ervin)  Evans ,others for having 
intruded  on the Indian Lands about Cushetonk;  to take up such Connecticut 
men and others, as have settled about Cushetonk without leave."

For a detailed account   of this document, the surrounding issues, see   "The 
Legend of Cushetonk: et al" by Barbara J. Sivertsen  and Barbara L. Covey, 
pub. 1993 by Heritage Books, Bowie, Maryland.   One statement in particular, 
that the settlers had the support of the Cushetunk Indians could certainly 
have basis in fact, when one considers  the intermarriage with so many 
families with Native   People/Mixed Blood.  Nor would the warring factions  
and unfriendly Indians give lie to this - the Iroquois had their  own agenda, 
when it came to the Delaware, and circumstances, with both settlers , those 
politically in power  as well as various groups of the Delaware, all 
fermenting to bode problems no matter which side  you were on.

"At that time  , East Jersey claimed the river to the rock known by the name 
as "Station   Rock" standing by the river about one half mile above the 
Chochecton  Bridge.  There were two forts, one at Cochecton, about one 
quarter mile above Calkin Creek .  The inhabitants  in the vicinity were: 
(Ezra) Witter, (Jedediah) Willis, (John) Smith , James Adams and family.  
Moses Thomas and family , Aaron Thomas and family, whether others had 
families has not been  learned."

The childrens births, with the exception of Samuel, are recorded at 
Connecticut.  Samuel's  descendants vary stating he was born either in 
Pennsylvania of New Jersey.

The Skinner Manuscript was  originally by Nathan Skinner, born 4 April 1777, 
d. 15 Nov 1856, aged 79 years.  The original manuscript was owned  by Edna 
Skinner Beegle.    A copy is in the Grovsnor Library, Buffalo, Erie Co., New 
York .  Cora Skinner  donated the family Bible to the Wayne County Historical 
 Society , Honesdale, Pennsylvania.  

"Pioneer Days at Cochecton, New York" was copied, arranged  and indexed by 
Rev. Charles Skinner, Fertile, Minnesota - 1924

Generation No. 2

Delverance Adams of Ulster and Delaware Cos, New York, Wayne co., PA

2.  DELIVERANCE9 ADAMS (JAMES8, DAVID7, HENRY6, EDWARD5 SR., ENSIGN ADAMS, 
HENRY4 ADAMS, JOHN3, HENRY2, JOHN1) was born October 20, 1751 in Canterbury, 
Connecticut, and died November 1834 in Monticello, Sullivan Co., New York.  
He married BE-TI-A VANDUNK Abt. 1773 in Cranbury Lake area, NewJersey, 
daughter of WILLIAM VANDUNK and RA-JA-HIA.  She was born September 1755 in 
Cranbury, New Jersey (?), and died Aft. 1834 in Shawnee Territory, Ohio.

Notes for DELIVERANCE ADAMS:

"Quinlan's History of Sullivan county", page 292:  (in conjunction with a 
section about Long Eddy, New York) "prior to the Revolutionary War, 
Deliverance Adams was living there with John Dusinburg on the Basket Switch, 
along with Joseph Geer.

Official record of Deliverance is found in the Revolutionary Pension files, 
National Archives, Washington, D.C.  Deliverance enlisted at Wallenpaupack, 
Northampton Co., Pennsylvania, in June of 1776.  He served 5 months in 
Captain Abraham Shimer's Company, Colonel Ephraim Martin's New Jersey 
Regiment, and was in the battles of Long Island and White Plains.  He 
enlisted again 1January 1777, serving 3 years in Captain William Judd's 
Company, Colonel Wyllys Connecticut Regiment. The papers further state he was 
a private, and he was living in Buckingham County, Pennsylvania 20 May 1818.  
Other than New York 1790, Deliverance doesn't appear in any Federal census.  
His enumeration for New York shows him living in Mamakating, Ulster Co. with 
his family.

Deliverance was allowed his pension (S45170) on 20 May 1818.  In his 
application he listed property owned in Wayne county, Pennsylvania as "24 
acres of wild land with a log cabin upon it for which I paid $1 an acre, and 
have paid $24 on it."  In 1820, he was listed  by the War Department as 
living with a son- in- law in Sullivan Co., New York

Deliverance married, estimated, about 1773/1774 to Be-ti-a.  She is listed in 
the family records of the Adams family, and as the Mother of  her children by 
Deliverance in the Mormon International Genealogical Index (micro-fiche).  
These old records were at Mamakating, Ulster County, New York.  (once claimed 
by New Jersey).

Deliverance Adams died in  Tompson township, Sullivan County, New York, 
probably  late November, 1834.  Administration papers were filed on 1 
December 1834.  Sarah Brown and William Adams relinquished their rights as 
administrators as "the only surviving children"  which was totally erroneous. 
 His daughter, Lydia, with her husband, John Lord II,  was alive, in 
Lordville, New York.  His son, James, wife, Phebe, were  living in Hancock, 
New York   with his wife, family members  door to door.    Son, Jonathan, 
married to Fanny Lane,  and  ancestors  of the author, were  living in 
Manchester Twnp., Wayne Co., Pennsylvania, another son was living in Sussex 
Co., New Jersey,and  owner of the Adams Bible.

Much speculation could be made as to why this statement was made.  There were 
claims against the meagre estate, perhaps this was done to hasten settlement, 
avoid  court procedures.  The possibility of hard feelings always exist--one 
member being care taker of Deliverance--but nothing indicating this has 
survived, either in writing, or orally.

It is more sensible  that, due to Be-ti-a being Indian, the sons of Indian 
mix, perhaps "looking"  like it--their wives being also of  the same "mix"-- 
it was, as in most cases then,  now, wiser to  stay out of  view.  Under the 
law, Indians couldn't inherit.   It was possibly deemed wise not to get 
embroiled in  legalities.  In many families of this  "make-up"  it was common 
for the  family members who looked the least like what they were to do 
business for the rest of the family.

It is proven beyond any doubt the children were alive, what the 
inter-familial relationships were.  The  truth behind Deliverance' estate, 
administration may be something we will never know for certain.


Deliverance is supposedly buried in Milanville Cemetery, altho  one historian 
said he was buried  in Monticello, New York.  It was recently  mentrioned  
there is, way back in the Milanville site, a  row of sunken graves that were  
soldiers of the Revolution.  None  have stones,  but it seems a likely place. 
 

Deliverance Adams marriage date is estimated.  His wife, Be-ti-a  (Bethia in 
some  records) Van Dunk, was a full blood Minisink Indian of the Delaware 
tribe,  was said to have been born "in the Moon of September 1755".(see notes 
on Be-ti-a)

Notes for BE-TI-A VANDUNK:
 Be-ti-a  (Bethia in some  records) Van Dunk, was a full blood Minisink 
Indian of the Delaware tribe,  said to have been born "in the Moon of 
September 1755".  Descendants in Sussex Co., New Jersey stated, in the 1940s, 
to Betsey Jane Adams,  (1874-1971) her  birth date was  2 February 1755.  The 
Bible specifically says she was  "Delaware Minisink Indian", the  little date 
under that statement says "1834", although the Bible title page gives an 
edition date of 1832.  No death date was given, but mid 1990s, this problem 
was solved to a large degree.  In sending a written history of my family to 
James "Lone Bear" Revy - ( He fought for/founded, the New Jersey Indian 
Commission) --We 'd discussed our families several  times.  Lone Bear was 
himself  Delaware, born in New York state, educated, in Oklahoma, among the 
Delaware People.  The day he got, read, my history, he called me with the 
question "You don't know who she ( Be-ti-a) was, do you?"  --I replied I had 
known a lot about her from her marriage forward, next to nothing  beyond 
that.  Lone Bear explained -- Be-ti-a  was the Holy Woman who had walked, 
from Pennsylvania, to Ohio, teaching the Longhouse ceremonies  among the 
Wyandot, Delaware, Miami and Shawnee Indians pushed out there.    It was in 
no small part  these things survived into Kansas, Oklahoma via her efforts.  
-it was said, she died among the Shawnee, over  90 years of age,  was buried 
by them among their People.

Lone Bear told  me, when he was being schooled in Oklahoma, they knew who she 
was, but not  what happened to her  own family,  where they were, what became 
of them.

Be-ti-a, said to  be her Indian name, was  said to be the daughter of  a 
William A. (Augustine?) Van Donk, born someplace in New York, perhaps Long 
Island?  Her Mother appears/ was said to be "Ra-ja-hia" , the daughter of 
"Pon-ti-ton".  both names survivng thru several  generations.

The Van Dunk/Van Donk/Dunk name originates with a Dutchman,  Adrian Van (der) 
Dunk, whose dealings with the Indians Included frequent visits where in they  
stayed  in his home for  long periods..
