Henry (Henrij) Sheer Schryver
was born on 14 November 1781. He was baptized on 20 January
1782 in Poughkeepsie NY. His sponsors were Johannes and
Marytje Sheer. Details of his death are not known other than he
probably died before 1830. Information from John Stevenson, a
descendent of this line, has Henry's middle name spelled Shearer.
|
Henry married Ruby Payne (or
possibly Paine). We have no information on her.
|
|
They were married, probably on 9 February 1779 in either
Poughkeepsie or New Hackensack, New York. A date of 23 January 1779
has also been found, but this is probably the date of banns.
They
had eight (8) children. Records show different spellings of the
surname and, in fact, the children's surnames also vary. They
resided in Oswego NY.
I would like to extend thanks to William and Joanne
Sholes of California. They have sent me some valuable information
on Henry's line which has corrected many pieces of information we
previously had posted incorrectly. They have also provided a
Family
Group Sheet for Henry Sheer Schryver.
