Baptism Records as Recorded
By Rev. James Dempster
1778-1803
The following records were written by Robert M. Hartley, (St. Johnsville, N.Y.: Enterprise and News) in 1935. They were donated from Peggy Menear's collection and transcribed by her as well. Peggy is researching her Chatterton line from the Mohawk Valley. If you have any connection to or information about the Chatterton's, she would love to hear from you.
This is a joint effort project for Fulton, Herkimer/Montgomery and Saratoga Counties.
