General notes:
The Gilman family lived at 415 Maple Street in a wonderful frame house. It is possible it was built for Kate by her father Josiah who was a carpenter. The parlors were separated by sliding doors; there was both a front and back staircase which led to the second floor; the woodwork on the second floor was hand grained to look like oak; a stained glass window decorated the front stairwell; a Hugh porch surrounded the front and side of the house.

SOURCE: Arlene Gable -  My great aunt Rose (Cooper) Parker wrote out east to get information about the family. I have the letter she wrote to my mother years later about her findings. She did not say where she got the info. When I was going through Predmorešs notes at the OCGS Library in Goshen I came across her (Roses') name. It fell into place--this was where she had written. Predmore doesn'tšt reference much of her notes, so itšs hard to tell where she got all her info about the Minnesota Fredericks. I donšt think it all came from Rose, but I really donšt know. If it was Rose, she did not give up  much info about the Coopers.

Claudius Smith [Parents] ¹ was born 1736 in Brookhaven, Suffolk Co, NY, USA. He died ² 22 Jan 1779 in Goshen, Orange Co, NY, USA. Claudius married Possibly Harriet Hulse about 1755.

Other marriages:

Rumsey, Abigail

An overview by: Lil Heselton

SOURCE:  Claudius Smith sources relating to the life and times of the infamous character.
As compiled by: Lil Heselton

Possibly Harriet Hulse ¹ died (UNKNOWN). She married Claudius Smith about 1755.

(Lil's note)Harriet Hulse is suggested by Mable Edwards and later Jean Rumsey as a possible first wife of Samuel Smith. This is a supposition apparently based on a Hulse biography which I have not seen nor can I find it.

Samuel Smith [Parents] ¹ was born about 1755 in Smith's Clove, Orange Co, NY. He died 21 Jul 1836 in Monroe, Orange County, NY, USA. Samuel married X Unknown about 1773.

Other marriages:

Mapes, Mary

 Very little is known about Samuel. He is referred to in David Smith's will as "Samuel Smith son of Claudius". Family tradition has always claimed that Samuel was son of Claudius. Since few folk seem willing to claim a relationship with Claudius, and Samuel, in spite of the fact that he was on opposite sides of the Revolution did, and he is mentioned thusly in David's will,  I assume this claim to be true. The following is the best information I have found on Samuel.(my exceptions are noted)

SOURCE: Meta Smith Bush, "Smith and Allied Families"
     Samuel Smith, Son of Claudius, is a person comparatively unknown...The date of his birth is not known...in the 1790 Census Samuel's family consisted of two males over 16, three males under 16, and three females. That would mean that Samuel and his wife had one son over 16, three under sixteen and two daughters. This would mean that he was married by 1773 at the latest. At the Cornwall town meeting of 1775, he was named "keeper of the path for district 22", all proving that he was head of his own household before the Revolution.  This would indicate that he was the oldest son of Claudius (I disagree on this point. According to a newspaper account found in both the Eager and Ruttenber and Clark Histories as taken from the Fishkill Packet, William was the eldest of Claudius' sons. Eager's History of Orange County, p 563: '...all accounts agree that William, the oldest, was shot in the mountains in the fall of 1778, by whig scouts sent in pursuit of the gang." Lil).
     It is believed that Samuel married Mary Mapes who was the widow of Joshua Broffit. She was the daughter of Henry Mapes, born 1737 and his wife Ruth Rumsey. (I have no proof beyond birth dates of Smith and Broffit children but I am of the opinion that Samuel was married prior to his marriage with Mary Mapes. The will of Henry Mapes made Oct 20, 1812 indicates that Hezekiah Broffit was underage." Imprimis I give and bequeath to my grandson Hezekiah Braffit the sum of twenty dollars to be paid to him when he shall arrive to the age of twenty one years together with the Interest that may arise thereon which sum of Twenty dollars I direct my son David Mapes to put out at Interest to the best advantage for the use and at the risque of the said Hezekiah," This indicates that said Hezekiah was born not earlier than 1791.(1812- 21). We know that Eleanor Holbert, daughter of Samuel was born 1 June, 1777, and that
James was born circa 1780 and David circa 1781. Their mother could not have been Mary Mapes. It seems logical to assume that both Samuel and Mary had previous marriages and that they married fairly quickly after the death of Joshua Broffit as they had son Moses circa 1792. - Lil)
     Samuel belonged to the 4th Regiment of Orange county Militia under Col William Allison. He signed the Articles of Association at Cornwall in 1775. He also appears under Land Bounty Rights, 3rd regiment of Orange County Militia. (His services have been verified by the DAR). He must have had strong convictions to fight for independence in view of the fact that his father and brothers were Tory.
     He probably lived on or near district 22 before the Revolution, but on Dec 27, 1805, he bought 295 acres of mountain Lot 13 of the Cheesecock Patent. From this tract he later sold off two parcels and farmed the rest. He was in possession of this land at the time of his death. The farm - known locally as the Albert Nadges place- was high on the ridge at the left of the present road from Walton Lake to Greenwood Lake. At that time, the road was the main road from Goshen to New York, passing through the Ramapos. It was in that mountainous country that Claudius' band had its hiding places.
     He was a blacksmith by trade and had his forge at the farm. At that time the blacksmith was an indispensable person in the community for all iron ware was hand forged. Samuel not only shod horses and oxen there, but he turned out farming tools - plough points for the wooden plows, hoes, axes, nails, as well as household utensils. He took part in the political life being named assessor in 1798. Samuel died in 1836, for his will filed at Goshen was made July 25, 1836 and probated Oct 22 of the same year.
SOURCE: a history of the Smith family received from Terry Hurd. Author unknown.
Claudius' son Samuel was, probably, ( other sources - Eager and Ruttenber and Clark, seem to indicate that William was the eldest) the first born of his 4 sons for he was old enough in 1775 to be appointed pathmaster of District 22 which was one of the lots laid out in Charles Clinton's survey and was located on or near what is now the road between the present villages of Monroe and Greenwood Lake, probably near Dutch Hollow.  He was a Whig, thus differing from his Tory father and 3 brothers.  Samuel signed the articles of Association in Cornwall in 1775 and appeared as a militia man in the 41 regiment of Orange County Militia under Col. John Hawthorne.  He is listed for land bounty rights as a member of the 3rd regiment of Orange County Militia.

That is all the information that I have on the Holbert/Smith connection.  I do have considerable other information about the earlier Holbert (Hurlburt, etc), also some on Mary Bellus (Bellis, Belles).
According to family tradition, when John Holbert married Mary Bellus, he could speak no German and she could speak no English (they must have been able to communicate someway, don't you think?)

In the weekly paper "Rights of Man" published in Newburgh on Dec 4 , 1804 and on file at the Newburgh Free Library, is found the following item.- " Fatal Accident - On Monday evening last, Mr David Smith of Southfield, fell from his horse, on the Blooming Grove Road, about 10 miles from New Windsor, and expired in a few hours. A smooth shod horse and slippery road occasioned this melancholy catastrophe. The deceased was about 23 years of age, and has left a child, the fruit of a first marriage, and a wife to whom he had been allied about six months to mourn his early death."
This is his short and simple biography. Unfortunately there has been no record discovered to tell the name of David's first wife. It also seems probable that the child mentioned did not live long for no trace remains of its ever existing except for this item.
The second wife referred to was Abigail Clark, daughter of Gershom Clark who had a Revolutionary record...About three months after David was killed his son David was born- March 1805. Abigail was about eighteen years old when her child was born
LIL'S NOTE: Since Meta Smith Bush was of this line, I suspect that her information is as good as it gets.

Abigail Clark was born 10 Apr 1786 in Interlochen, Orange Co. NY USA. She died 18 Oct 1862 in Monroe, Orange Co, NY, USA. Abigail married David Sr. Smith on May 1804.

Abigail's old home was on the farm which was still occupied by Clarks until about 20 years ago. It is on the ridge of land which is the divide between Walton Lake and Round Island Lake and is now named Interlochen. About three months after David was killed, his son David was born. March 1805. Abigail was about 18 when her child was born.

It seems quite probably that the young widow had gone back to her father's home to have her child and rear him. The tie linking them with Samuel had been broken and it seems very likely that Samuel saw very little of the child, for in his will he left his grandson David just one dollar...Years later, as an old man David remarked that his only bequest from his mother was a silk Handkerchief.
