General
Because two of the children of John and Hannah are ancestors, this makes John and his wife Hannah "double ancestors". They actually appear on two different branches of the family tree. The same can be said for Hannah's parents.
From the Coxsackie NY Library (1987 Hope Farm Press, originally 1884 by J.B.Beers and Co): Page 370: Early settlers of New Baltimore included John Garret, Jonathan Miller, Timothy Green, Charles and Hallet Titus, David Halstead, Robert Palmer, Edmund Powell, Noah Wheeler, John Smith, the Bedells, the Searles, the Travis's and others. Many of these migrated from Dutchess County and in their religious sentiments were Quakers. · New York became the eleventh state in 1788 when it · ratified the U.S. Constitution. In 1825 New York opened the Erie Canal. In 1831 New York's first railroad was opened and it ran from Albany to Schenectady.

A John Searls married Elizabeth on 09-19-1780 in the Church of Christ in Salem (Westchester) New York. This John may be a nephew to ancestor John.
