Van Woert

Notes: Dr. Van Woert believes David
is the son of Abraham and Martha, although he gives no reasons for this
belief. My guess is because David and Abraham were both from Unadilla and
Abraham's age at the time of David's birth makes it feasible that the connection
is correct. Otsego Co. NY deeds (book:page); 87:367; 90:439; 97:538; 85:274;
