1746 - Abigail Thorne is born

I've begun compiling my speculations and records about  the Thorne family here.  I am unsure at this time, who Abigail's parents are.  http://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2018/02/thorne.html

1766 - Marriage to Abigail Thorne

Before

Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, New York, United States

Abigail Thorn, b. ca.1745, d. 22 Nov. 1815, aged 70 years, a member of the family of Samuel Thorn, of Cortlandt Manor. She was possibly related in some way to her husband’s stepmother, Catharine (Van Wyck) (Ter Boss) Hegeman, whose mother was a Thorne.

1766 Abigail listed in Church Records as wife of Frans Hegeman

March

“Abigail Thorn, wife of Frans Hegeman Jr.,” is listed as a member of the Poughkeepsie Dutch Church in March 1766

1771 - Sponsors for Baptistm of Stephen Monfort

16 June 1771, Dutch Church of Poughkeepsie

“Frenck Hegeman” and “Ebbe Thorn” served as sponsors at the baptism of Stephen, son of Peter and Ann (Thorn) Monfort

1772- Daughter Catherine Hagerman Is Born

6 Jan. 1772 

in the Poughkeepsie Dutch Church

Catharina Hegeman

no sponsors named in the record.

Genealogy of the Hoffman Family : desendants of Martin Hoffman : with biographical notes

Catherine Hegeman married Robert Hoffman.  He later married Sarah Berger, and as Catherine is not listed in her fathers will, we assume she died before 1820.  It is interesting to note that although children of Elizabeth (Hagaman) Force are listed in Francis's will, no children of Catherine are mentioned.  Perhaps none were minors?  Robert's second wife Sarah had her first child with him in 1815, so I think we can safely assume that Catherine died in 1814 or before.

1773 - Son Francis Hagerman is Born
There is a will for Francis Hagerman in Northampton County, Will Book 7, page 370 for a Francis Hagerman who died in 1860.  Is this the same Francis?  I cannot be sure.  The heirs are listed as:
That my daughter Sarah who married Francis C. Shres is deceased having sons Richard Steres and Clarkson Steres
Children: WIlliam, John, Mary Schoch wife of Henry Schock Hannah Schmoch and Rebecca Klinefelder wife of Charles Kleinfelfer
William and John are listed as Executors, but when the will goes to probate only John is listed as the exectutor.

1774-1779

Francis Hageman” appears in all the surviving tax lists of Rombout Precinct 

1775- Signed the Association Test

15 Aug. 1775  

1776 - Son Joshua Hagerman is Born
Joshua Hagerman married Susanna Dills.  They are Dan's 4th great grandparents, you can read more about them here:
http://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2012/02/joshua-hagerman-1776-1864.html

1776 - Son Joseph Hagerman is born
If my dates are correct, Joshua and Joseph were twins.  Very possible in this family, where twins are prevalent yet today.  But I have no further records for Joseph.  There are letters of Administration for a Joseph Hagerman in 1823 in Northmapton County.  Joseph Labar is the administrator.

1778 - Sponsors for baptism of Joseph Palen

19 April 1778 in the Dutch Church of New Hackensack. 

“Francis Hagemen and his wife,” at that of Joseph, son of Ezekiel and Phoebe (Thorn) Palen

1779 - First Daughter Elizabeth Born

I don't know what to think here.  Did they have two daughters named Elizabeth born a year apart?  (perhaps the first died, and the next year they reused the name?  I've seen weirder things) Or is there just errors in the records?  (more likey)

Elizabeth Hegeman

bapt. 7 Feb. 1779

Dutch Church of New Hackensack, Wappinger Tp., Dutchess Co. 

no sponsors named

Child: Elizabeth Reference ID: 529
Bapt. Date: 7 Feb 1779

Source: Records of the reformed Dutch Church of new hackensack

Child: Elizabeth Reference ID: 559
Bapt. Date: 6 feb 1780
Francis hegeman; Abigail Thorne
Location - New Hackensack New York

According to Francis Will, Elizabeth married John Force and had at least 2 children:
"Susan Force and Benjamin Force children and heirs at law of Elizabeth Force deceased so was the wife of John Force"

There is a marriage record for John Force to Elizabeth Hagaman in 1804.
In 1815, there is a marriage record for John Force to Hannah Lewis.  We assume that after Elizabeth's death, John married Elizabeth's sister Hannah, based on this line in Francis will-
Hannah Force wife of John Force.  She may have first married a Lewis?


1781 - Son William Hagerman Was Born
 William is buried in the Hainesburg Cemetery  Columbia, Warren County, New Jersey, USA
His tombstone confirms he was 59 years old when he died in 1840.

William Married Sarah Brugler.  His sister Anna married James Brugler.

1783 - Daughter Anna Hagerman Was born
She married James Brugler.  James left a will naming Anna and his children, so those tracing this line have a solid place to start.

Abt 1796 Daughter Hannah Force is Born
Hannah is mentioned in the will as the wife of John Force.  We assume John married Hannah after her sister Elizabeth died.  The marriage record I found in 1815 shows that John Force married Hannah Lewis, so perhaps she was a widow as well.
