Corrections made for the following web page on the
Carman Web Space:
http://patricia.rootsweb.com/carman/hanngab.htm
First the information was published by the New York Historical Society,
"Collections of the New York Historical Society, Abstracts of Wills on File
in the Surrogates Office, City of New York" pp. 360-361. The information
was taken from New York County Wills Liber 27 p. 394 not p. 360. As
indicated on the subject page 3rd line. The will was drafted on May
31, 1764 vice May 21, 1764 as indicated on the Web Page. Witness, "Peter
Ricker" should read "Peter Riker".
As per the relationships, Martha Woods whose will abstract is transcibed
on the web page was Martha Kissam, her first cousin was
Elizabeth Kissam who married Henry LeStrange/Strange. Elizabeth and Henry
had a daughter, Hannah Strange, the same Hannah above who married Gabriel
Carman. Thus you have the relationship. This same Kissam Branch is also
tied to the Carman Line of Joshua-3 (John-2, John-1) Carman through
Martha's Father, Daniel Kissam.
The 70 acres bequeathed to Hannah above was not listed as a farm and the
property was subsequently transferred from Hannah and her husband in 1771
to her son, Gabriel Carman, Junior. Although, in the 1771 deed, the
property is listed as part of a "farm lot". This is in Westchester County,
New York.
Hope this was of help.
