Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Actually Henry Edward Bonesteel and Peter Bonesteel Christian are 1st cousins once removed.
The father [Jacob Nicholas]of Henry Edward Bonesteel born 20 Oct 1830 and the father [Henrich N.] of Catherine Augusta Bonesteel born 26 June 1824 were brothers.
Their parents were Nicholas Bonesteel born 21 Nov 1753 and Anna Margaretha Staats born 4 Aug 1760. This Nicholas was the grandson to the first Bonesteel [Nicholas Bohnenstiehl] to arrive in America in 1710 from Nubßach, Kaiserslauten, Germany. He settled in West Camp, Dutchess County, NY for a short period of time, before moving to the Red Hook area with his wife Anna Margaretha Kuntz and raised 9 children with Anna who was his 2nd wife.
