Windmuller-Heynen Family Tree

*Samuel Linington(61) was born on 24 Mar 1746/47 in Hempsted, New York. He died before 1778 in Dutchess Co, New York. Parents: *John Linington and *Hannah Carle.

He was married to *Maria VanSicklen on 14 Nov 1769 in Poughkeepsie, New York. From "Eighteenth Century Records of the Original Town of Fishkill, Dutchess Co, NY (Rombout Pct)", by William Willis Reese, Collections of Dutchess County Historical Society, Vol VI, 1938:

"After the War of the Revolution the precincts were done away with in Dutchess and towns were laid out. Under that arrangement Rombout Precinct became in 1788 the Town of Fishkill. Later still the Town of Fishkill was sub-divided. Set off from Fishkill in 1821 was the west half of the Town of LaGrange; in 1849 the Town of East Fishkill; and in 1875 the Town of Wappinger. Thus the historical material incorporated in these pages bears upon the present Towns of Fishkill, East Fishkill and Wappinger and to half of the Town of La Grange."

Samuel Linnington is shown in the tax lists for Rombout Preceint, 1773-1775, and 1777. The Estate of Samuel Linnington is shown in 1778.
