Martin Margison, b.1794 in Saugerties, my 3rd Great Grandfather, settled with his family in Mongaup Valley in 1848. An 1857 map of the area pinpoints the homes of Martin and his 2 sons, John b.1817(my GGGrandfather) and Ezra b.1818. A present day Yahoo Map of the area locates Ezra Margison's home as the first house directly to the right of the Methodist Church located at the corner of Rt. 17B and Airport Rd. Martin's home is located 2 houses to the east at the corner of Rt 17B and "Martin Lane" (coincidence?). John Margison is located directly across the street from Martin. Martin died in 1857, and his son James moved into the homestead and raised 13 children.
A satellite image of the area shows structures at the 3 locations, but I can't make out any details. I was wondering if anyone might know the area, or might be driving by and could take a peek at the buildings and tell me if they look like they were built in the 1850's. If so, when the weather clears up I'll make the 4 hour trek to investigate.
