Looking for information on Silas Carman was married to Hannah Smith in 1736. He was from Oyster Bay, NY. Particularly looking to see if he wrote a will or place of burial. Would like to know what his grandchildrens names were through his daughter Margaret who married Thomas Hendrickson. I belive that the Hendrickson records may be incomplete.
thanks
