5th Generation (213 years ago) 16 peopleEdit

All 16 members of this generation are known. Previous to this generation some people have not been identified yet. However there is now doubt that Sophie Weber was the first wife of Arthur Oscar Moritz Lindauer that produced his children.

• 22. Abraham Kershaw (1815-?) of New York. His ancestors were from Holland. He appears to have died around 1851. He may be the same person as Abraham Cashow (1814-?), who died on his way to California during the California Gold Rush. For others of the same name see Abraham Kershaw.

• 45. Maratye Bennet (1774-1830)
• 46. Captain William Oldrin (1772-1858) of England. He emigrated in 1794. "He lived in Crane Neck during the troublesome times in 1812 on an eminence overlooking the pleasant spot where Hon. Frank Spinola now makes his home. One day a British sloop-of-war anchored off the Neck and flaunted her flag before the eyes of the Captain. He dragged a clumsy old cannon from his home to the bluff, and, after loading it with solid shot, turned it carefully on the menacing craft and fired. When the smoke cleared away the sailors were harrying to get up anchor and away. The shot hail disturbed their fancied security, and had severed the shrouds and brought the mainsail down about the heads ot those on deck." § ‡
• 47. Amy X (1780-1853). She was born in New York in 1780. Her maiden name is not known, there is no death certificate for her, just a ledger entry with her married name.
