Query Text:

This is my "brick wall". Her name is Hester Jane Scofield, she was born 8/4/1820, she died on 8/12/1858. She married William H. Garrison (b. 4/13/1817) - they had 3 daughters: Mary, Francis (b. 1/1/1852) and Lavina. That is all I know about her, she is my gggrandmother. I'd like to prove that she existed as I want to join D.A.R. I know her Mom and family descend from William Mosher: William Mosher is my direct line to D.A.R. membership: William Mosher b. abt 1748, d. 10/10/1832 in Philipstown area. He served as both an ensign and Lt in the Revolutionary war under Capt. Sackett in Thomas Thomas' Regiment, among others. His named is spelled both as Mosier and Mosher in different pension documents - both have the same number, so it is definitely the same person. One of the more memorable skirmishes was at Bedford,Westchester Co., NY against the forces of Colonel James Holmes. I do not know who William Mosier married, but he had the following children: Coles, Amos, Miles, Henry, Charlotte (Isaac) Wood, Phebe (Platt) Garrison - my gggrandmother, - Elizabeth (william Henry) Tandy, Phebe married Platt Garrison, they had at least one child: William H. Garrison, b 4/13/1817. William H. Garrison married Hester Jane Scofield b. 8/4/1820, d. 8/12/1858 (she seems to have disappeared, I have no records other than the date of her death - I cannot find her parents, any siblings, etc.). William and Hester had 3 daughters: Mary, Francis b. 1/1/1852 and Lavina. Francis Married William Clarke. They had a daughter (and several other children) Emily. Emily married Gustave Wassweiler. They had a daughter, Gertrude. Gertrude married Thomas C. Tully. Anyone with any information (even suspected) on this line is encouraged to answer! I suspect that all of these families were in the Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County area. THANK YOU!!!
