Sam Gonsalus (1733-1821) Sullivan Co, NY
I am a member of the Cragsmoor Historical Society in Cragsmoor, Ulster County, NY. The Sam's Point Preserve adjoins our community. It is a 4600 acre nature preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains, owned by the Open Space Institute and managed by the Nature Conservancy. As many of you may know, it is named after Samuel Gonsalus, who supposedly leapt from a cliff here while being pursued by Native Americans in 1758. Samuel was the son of Manuel Gonsalus II and grandson of Manuel Gonsalus I, the first Gonsalus to settle in the New World. Our organization is presently researching Samuel's life and the early history of the Gonsalus family. Most of what we already know comes from J.E. Quinlan's "History of Sullivan County." If any Gonsaulus family descendents have additional information or insights that they would like to share I would very much like to hear from you. Our historical society is also interested in obtaining a geneology of the first few generations of the family for our library.
Thank you very much,
Wendy Elizabeth Harris
