Roeliff B. Ostrom
GRAVESTONE LOCATION:
Row 2, tall, fairly clear stone
REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERVICE:
PRIVATE: Land Bounty Rights, 6th Reg't Dutchess Co. Militia [NYRC+S V1 p. 250] and Land Bounty Rights, 4th Reg't Dutchess Co. Militia [NYRC+S V1 p. 244]
DAR ANCESTOR NUMBER: A084777
GENEALOGY:
Roeliff B. Ostrom was probably the son of Roelif and Elizabeth Yelverenton, born July 4th, 1758 in Rhinebeck. Roeliff B. married Mary/Maria Weaver and they had children Petrus 1787, Hendricus 1790, John 1792, and Catherine 1801. Roeliff B. Ostrom was a deacon of the church in 1804. There was a Roeliff Ostrom (no middle initial) who was a deacon of the church in 1796, but which one was he? Sometime after 1799, Roelif B. Ostrom owned pew #35. There was a Roeliff Ostrom also of Rhinebeck who married 1781 Clarissa Wells [MRR 2356] and had children Maria 1783, John 1788, Maria 1792 (probably the first Maria died young), and Lemuel 1800. Roeliff B. Ostrom died June 27th, 1829.
There was also a Roeliff Ostrom who married Maria Hageman and had children John 1778 and Roeliff 1783. This John born 1778 is listed as the patriot's son in the DAR's record, which is very old and no longer considered well-sourced. This could also be the same Roeliff Ostrom who married 1784 Methia Mills [MRR 2407] and had a daughter Martha in 1785 in Rhinebeck as it is later than those with Maria Hageman who perhaps died after 1783.
They can't all be the same man as they have children at the same time in the same village and it would be fairly difficult to hide two or more families.
2. Additional information from FAG member J. A. Harder, 47240339
The family of Rulif B. Ostrom is very clear. He was the son of Barent Ostrom b.1732 & Rebecca Westfall, baptized at Rhinebeck Ref. Ch. on 4 May 1757 (born April 20). The sponsors at his baptism were his paternal grandparents we Roelof Ostrom and wife Maria Relyea. The middle initial B. is a patronymic "son of Barent" and there are many other connecting facts, names, locations etc.
