George W Rodman 1863 Blooming Grove NY

Hello
My husband's ggg grandfather was Thomas Rodman b 1767 in Ireland, who settled in Orange County, NY, and is the Thomas spoken about in this message. The John you speak of, who was married to Sarah Wells, was not a grandson of Thomas. I am pretty certain of that from information in family bibles. Thomas had 3 sons and one daughter, all born between 1800 and 1808. There were, I believe, at least one and maybe two brothers of Thomas in Orange County. One was James, b 1851 and the other may have been John who died before 1804. There was also a Samuel in that area at that time. The male family names are Thomas, James, John, William and Henry. Robert did not come into the family names until my husband's grandfather, born 1879 in Blooming Grove. Be more than happy to help you with research in Blooming Grove and that area. I have wills, maps, letters, etc of the Rodman's there.
