Arie Fransen (Arent Langet, DeLang, Delong, etc., died about 1698) likely appeared at New Amsterdam in 1659 and in Ulster County NY by 1670. His descendants Frans Delang (1681-1755) and Arie Langet/Delong (1705-1770) were in Kingston, Fishkill, Beekman and elsewhere in the Hudson Valley. Lawrence (about 1755-1819/1829) was an original settler in Lincoln VT in 1795. Either Lawrence or his more obscure brother Martin (born about 1748) was the likely father of Ephraim (1785-1843), who with his descendants Awry (1817-1887), Oscar (1851-1918), Arthur S. (1886-1957), Albert S. (1913-1995) and Lawrence A. (born 1941) all lived in Westford and Worcester, Otsego County, NY. I am seeking further history of all these family members, as well as of these associated families:
James GOLDEN of Long Island and William H. Golden of Rensselaerville NY;
Napoleon and Amos SMITH (originally BESEAU, BESAW or BESSAUNT) of Port Leyden and New York Mills NY;
Jacob and Jan PULA of New York Mills;
Robert and James PLATT of New York Mills;
Alfred SHIRES of New York Mills;
Henry and John Henry ALBERT of Worcester NY;
John H. DAULEY of East Worcester NY;
James Cyrenes and Levi M. JOHNSON of Summit and Worcester NY;
Abram and Alonzo RUSS of Summit and Worcester NY;
David WILBORE of Rhode Island and son David of Worcester NY;
Charles D. CATTELL of Albany and Worcester NY;
Thomas SMITH of Cornwallville NY and Albert E. Smith of Worcester NY; and
Peter PETRO of Cleveland, Ohio.
I have information on all the above families, and several others who are connected, which I will eagerly provide to anyone who inquires. I use Family Tree Maker 11.0.
