Probably since Connecticut days, altho this is only<strong>the</strong> author’s speculation, with no pro<strong>of</strong> as far as documents go.The Adams-<strong>Lord</strong> Lumbering project had been set up/ run by <strong>the</strong> elder <strong>Lord</strong>, with Deliverance Adams. They hiredmany <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir friends for work with this. Deliverance, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lord</strong>s visited back and forth, evidenced by familyletters, oral history. Some years ago, I sent much information along <strong>the</strong>se lines to Agnes Whitaker, also, to Eleanor
Keesler for <strong>the</strong>ir files. Marjorie Thomas Anderson in her book mentions being told some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> foregoing by Mrs.Keesler. Proven facts are <strong>the</strong> continuing over marriage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two families, <strong>the</strong>ir double, triple cousinships.<strong>John</strong> <strong>Lord</strong> settled in <strong>Lord</strong>ville, <strong>Delaware</strong> Co., New York about 1800. His will, which does not mention his wife—very much alive, appearing on <strong>the</strong> 1850 Federal, and 1855 New York State census—mentions <strong>the</strong> “Island in <strong>the</strong>river”.His will, filed in Delhi, New York, gives to his children Freeman A. , Diana, James A., 200 acres each, Freeman’scontaining <strong>the</strong> house in which he, <strong>John</strong>, now lived. Which would explain for certain why wife/Mo<strong>the</strong>r, Lydia, wasresiding with Freeman in 1850, 1855 census.Hannah, Lucinda, Phoebe, Richard received 2/10 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> balance. <strong>John</strong> <strong>Lord</strong>, Jr., was named executor.**********************************************************<strong>John</strong> <strong>Lord</strong> Jr <strong>of</strong> Hancock, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong>, <strong>NY</strong>, on June 23, 1804, purchased from James Hasbrouck and JonathanHasbrouck <strong>of</strong> Kingston, Ulster <strong>County</strong>, <strong>NY</strong>, land in Great Lot 2, subdivision <strong>of</strong> lot 32, lot 16, on a map by <strong>John</strong> ADeWitt, Josiah Curtis, and David Dorrance, 690 acres.Witnesses Geo Tappan and Jno G Jansen.
