COLEMAN’S ORANGE COUNTY
TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTIONS
by James Cash Coleman.
Anyone doing research in the Orange County New York State Area
needs to own or have ready access to “Coleman’s Orange County Tombstone
Inscriptions” more commonly known for many years in our research room as
“The Coleman Book”. James
Cash Coleman, grandfather of current member and past president Ben
Coleman, spent countless years traveling about the county by any
available means to copy tombstone inscriptions into his personal
ledgers. The ledgers
retained by the family are now in the possession of the Goshen Library
and Historical Society [Photocopies at OCGS].
Typed originally by his nephew Charles C. Coleman in 1941 and
retyped in recent years by Patricia Waters, the inscriptions fill up 425
pages of information, much of which has vanished through the years.
In some cases the cemeteries have disappeared.
Annotations are abundant from the ledgers as to cause of death,
spouse’s names, and other miscellaneous information. Reference to page
numbers in the original ledgers has been typed into this publication to
allow examination of Mr. Coleman’s original entries – but bear in mind,
member Stella Higby not only painstakingly compared the new typescript
to the 1941 edition, she also proofed it against the original ledgers.
A recent index by Joseph Lieby brings it all together and
available for your home research at a reasonable price.

ORANGE
COUNY JURY LISTS VOLUME ONE
1798 – 1825 by Kenneth A. Dunning.
Months of transcribing done in the basement of the 1841 Court
House have produced this new and valuable source of genealogical data
with 13,265 entries that has
been buried for over 200 years in a storage closet under the basement
stairway. Hundreds of folded up sheets of Jury lists that the Town
Supervisor, Town Clerk, and Town Assessors would put together affirming
the competency of individual Freeholders residing in their towns were
tucked away and buried in an old cardboard box. County lists were drawn
from the ballot boxes where the names were added or removed each year on
the authority of the Town Officials. The lists were used to find Jurors
to serve on Courts of Common Pleas, General Sessions of the Peace,
Circuit Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and General Gaol Delivery.
What has been organized and transcribed are: 1. Town lists of
qualified Jurors whose names were deposited in the boxes at the
County Clerk’s Office
AND
2. County panels of Jurors drawn from the names in these boxes used to
find Jurors to serve on Courts of Common Pleas, General Sessions of the
Peace, Circuit Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and General Gaol Delivery.

DEATH
RECORDS [ORANGE COUNTY,
NY] FROM THE MORTALITY RECORDS OF
1850, 1860, 1870, AND 1880
by Kenneth A. Dunning. The
four schedules abstracted in this book contain a total of 3,244 death
records. Questions were
asked by the Census takers concerning deaths that had occurred in the
household within the previous year – meaning June 1st through
May 31st as indicated in this book.
The sub-title page at the beginning of each section lists the
questions that were asked such as age, month of death, occupation, where
born etc. The 1880 records
have a two page spread of information put it in a format that is easy to
follow. A true treasure
trove of genealogical information and a definite must have for Orange
County
research. This book
completes the trilogy of vital records now unlocked by the Krish and
Burrows books previously published in recent years.
An every name index created by Dan Burrows makes this book easy
to use. 2006, soft
cover, indexed, 146 pages. $16.00
ORANGE COUNTY MARRIAGES
AND DEATHS FROM THE NEW
YORK STATE 1865 AND
1875 CENSUSES Compiled by Dan Burrows and edited by Barbara DiMunno.
At the end of family enumerations for each district in the towns
and cities of New York
State, the 1865 and 1875 Census takers asked
questions relating to
marriages and deaths that occurred in the previous year
beginning June 1st 1864 ending May 31st 1865 and again June 1st 1874 ending May 31, 1875.
This information was recorded for each election district in the
towns. There is also an additional 5 year bonus of death records of
soldiers who died in, or of causes related to the Civil War between 1861
and 1865. These death and
marriage records were abstracted from the census microfilms by Dan
Burrows and listed in the original order by Township and Election
District. Proofing was done
by Barbara DiMunno from the original records located at the Orange
County Clerk’s Office. An every name index was also compiled which
includes the maiden names of females when known.
A must have for all Orange
County
researchers. 2004,
soft cover, indexed, 146 pages. $15.00
OFFICIAL VITAL RECORDS FROM THE VARIOUS TOWNS OF
ORANGE COUNTY,
NY --- BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES 1847 – 1849 WITH A SUPPLEMENT OF
ADDITIONAL MARRIAGE AND
DEATH RETURNS by
Jeanne and Lee Krish. The New York State
legislature passed a law in 1847 requiring school district clerks to
send vital record information to the Secretary of State via their local
town clerk. Copies of these
records were then forwarded to the county clerks. It appears that only
statistical information was supplied to the State and the actual vital
records remained with the town and county clerks.
The law was difficult to enforce, and most school districts
stopped doing this by 1852. Unfortunately Orange
County
stopped this practice in 1849.
From various correspondence found with the records, it appears
that many school district clerks did not file any returns to the town
clerks. One town clerk
actually supplied the names of the district clerks who failed to do
their job. Therefore,
many vital records were never recorded.
Several years ago a drawer full of Vital Record Returns for
the years 1847 through 1849 filed from the 15 towns (all those existent
in 1847) of Orange County,
New York were rediscovered by an OCGS member.
Jeanne Krish saw the need for these records to become easily accessible
to the public and recruited her husband Lee to help create this
monumental database. A true
genealogical treasure enhanced by an every name index of 13,776 names of
those who were born [including parents' names], married, or deceased
along with any other names mentioned of genealogical value.
A separate index of Marriage Officials has been added. 2003,

NEWBURGH
HISTORY OF THE TOWN AND CITY OF NEWBURGH, NEW YORK
INCLUDING A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE
COUNTY
OF ORANGE by
Edward M. Ruttenber. One of
the rarest editions of this comprehensive history of this famous
historic city and town on the Hudson River.
Very few copies of this rare edition are still in existence.
We were only able to locate three copies in our quest to
republish this long sought after work.
Mr. Ruttenber published a history of the Town and City of
Newburgh
in 1859. In 1875 he
published a revised and expanded edition, and about 1887 he again
revised it and added to it many historical addresses, perhaps a small
quantity to account for its rarity. The Orange County Genealogical
Society has created a 12,000 + every name index to this all important
publication.
Aside from the extensive history of Newburgh and the outline
History of Orange County, this volume is loaded with area genealogies
which are now unlocked by this new index.
This edition is a must have for any
Orange
County researcher having
ties to this area. It will
also make a great gift to give to other families members and friends.
We reprinted only 500 copies so supplies will not last forever.
Owners of previous editions will want to purchase this edition for the
corrections, additions, and especially the index.
