Query Text:

The following data was obtained from the "Reese File" at the Schenectady County Historical Society. This was published c1936 and I have transcribed the article exactly as originally printed. “REESE Your May 8 issue has an inquiry from Mrs.. Reese, Oswego Co. asking information about Samuel Reese of Herkimer Co., 1805-1800. If she will look up the records in churches and county histories she will find Samuel Hess, Samuel Fox, Samuel Bellinger (only one of him) and those three families all intermarried with the Reese family and used each other’s Christian names without stint. My Herrther Bible Family of Bellingers, printed 1931 in the Enterprise and News shows Melchior or Matthew Reese 1784-1870 marrying 7 Catharine (2) Bellinger, 1789-1846 and having over 100 descendants. Matthew “was the son of Adam Reese and Hannah Bell; the grandson of Mark Reese and Magdalena ; the great grandson of Dominie Nicholas Reese and a Miss Van Rensselaer.” As a help I may state that Samuel Reese does not from 7 Catharine (2) Bellinger in any records I have, but is certainly a close relative.
