     Sarah was born. She married William Bloom.¹ Sarah died in 1984. Footnote 11: "Eulogy of Sarah Bloom delivered at her death in 1984 by Emmanual Hoffman.".¹

     She married John Anthony Keith.² She married Dr Toby Gelfand.²

     He married Ethel Ruth Bloom.¹ Sahny was divorced from Ethel Ruth Bloom at New York City, New York, New York, USA, in 1932.¹

     She married Jesse Baldwin [JBa571].¹ Anor was born at Derby Twp, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 12 October 1775.²

     Edward was born. He married Sarah (?).¹

     Sarah was born. She married Edward Harger.¹

     HANS GEORG [GEORGE] ["JURRIAN"] ["JERRI"] BARNER [BERNER] HANS JURRIEN GEORG (JURGEN) BERNER is yet another variation on his name. Another is JERRI BERNER, from marriage record, where wife is SARAH OMSTEED.

The 1790 NY Census for the "town of Schoharry", 202:

George Barner 1 1 3

lists GEORGE with 1 son < 16 (that would be Simeon (Simon) b 1789), SARAH, and two daughters (which would be Sarah b 1785 and Catharina b 1786). The next child, Johannes, was b 24 Oct 1790.

The 1800 Schoharie Co NY Census, Cobleskill, 153:

George Berner 1 1 _ 1 _, 1 _ 1 1 _

for 1M 0-9, 1M 10-15, 1M 26-44, 1F 0-9, 1F 16-25, 1F 26-44. This is puzzling because our records would have this for GEORGE in 1800:

GEORGE BERNER 3 1 _ 1 _, 2 1 _ 1 _

for Johannes 9, Hendrick 8, David 5, Simeon 11, GEORGE 42, PHOEBE 3, Catharine 2, Sarah 15, and SARAH 34. We are fairly sure that the following children were alive in 1800: Simeon, David, PHOEBE, and Catherine. If only these survived to 1800, then we would have

GEORGE BERNER 1 1 _ 1 _, 2 _ _ 1 _

which implies that Sarah must also have lived and been incorrectly (?) placed, at 15, in the 16-25 age group. So this record would imply that Johannes and Hendrick were dead by 1800. The child I am most uncertain was alive in 1800 is Catherine. I tend to count her as alive because there was a Katherine Berner who witnessed GEORGE's will in 1829.

Listed next to GEORGE in the 1800 census are John Berner and Joseph Berner.

The 1820 NY Census for Schoharie Co has this entry:

George Barner _ 2 1 1 2 1, _ _ _ _ 1 , _ 2

with the last 2 being the number of persons engaged in agriculture and the remaining numbers read as follows: 2M 10-15, 1M 16-18, 1M 16-25, 2M 26-44, 1M 45+, 1F 45+.

From other sources for GEORG BARNER, he would be 62 on 1 Jun 1820 and SARAH would be 55. Their children would be 2M 10-15, 1M 16-18, 2M 16-25, 3M 26-44, 2F 16-25, 1F 26-44. Assuming all the daughters are married, David 25 is married, and one of the sons 26-44 is married (or dead), all reasonable assumptions, then the count is as given in the census.

From FHL microfilm roll 0860324 (Abstracts: Wills, etc, Schoharie NY), 2:34:

"p. 19. GEORGE BARNER of Cobleskill. Dated Dec. 22, 1829. Probated Aug. 9, 1830. Mentions: sons: Silas, Simon, David G., Joshua, Levey, wife Lana, Witnesses: Martinus Borst of Middleburgh, Katharine Berner of Cobleskill, Henry Shafer of Cobleskill, Executors: sons: Simeon, David G., Silas. signed George Barner."

This all fits except for wife "Lana". Either this is the wife of Levey (Levi) or it is a transcription error for Sara. SARAH was alive at GEORGE's death.

"History of Schoharie County" by William E. Roscoe

CHAPTER XXIII: HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF COBLESKILL

"BERNER SETTLEMENT.

In the orchard near Dr. Werner's residence stand two tomb-stones that mark the graves of Joseph Berner and his wife, the first settlers of the place. Mr. Berner was born in 1755 and settled upon the farm now owned and occupied by Peter Myers, and was soon followed by his brother George."

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Baptism Records, for 29 Nov 1795, lists as sponsors for the birth of Jeremias Kilmer (son of Jurrian and Salome Kilmer): "Jurrian Berning and Sene Berning". Note that GEORGE's sister Salome married George Kilmer and had son Jeremiah, bap 29 Nov 1795. So Jurrian and Sene are surely GEORGE ("Jurrian") and SARAH (transcription error from Sara?). HANS was born at Rhinebeck, Dutchess, New York, USA, on 5 January 1758.^8,9,10 He was baptized at Rhinebeck, Dutchess, New York, USA. Religion: (an unknown value).^8,9 He married SARAH OLMSTED [OMSTEED] [AMSTADT] [ALMSTEAD] at Reformed Dutch Church, Kingston, Ulster, New York, USA, on 3 December 1784.

Hoes, best reference, gives 3 Dec 1784..^{11,12,8,1,9,13,14} HANS was listed as the head of a family on the on 2 August 1790 Census at Schoharie, New York, USA.⁵ HANS was listed as the head of a family on the in 1800 Census at Cobleskill, Schoharie, New York, USA.¹⁵ He made a will at Schoharie, New York, USA, on 22 December 1829.¹⁶ HANS died on 8 May 1830 at Schoharie, New York, USA, at age 72.

     SARAH OLMSTED [OMSTEED] [AMSTADT] [ALMSTEAD] Her surname is spelled Amstadt (umlaut over second "a") in baptism record for son Johannes:

     Sarah Barner There is a Sarah Barney m Henry Dygart, 14 Apr 1805, recorded at the Lawyersville Reformed Church, who might be this Sarah Barner. Sarah was born at Schoharie, Schoharie, New York, USA, on 30 April 1785. The Sara BARNER LDS christening record says "Birth: 30 Apr 1785, Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Church, Schoharie, Schoharie, New York", thus appearing to be a baptism record rather than a birth record. Her father is here given as Jurgen BARNER.

The Schoharie records for St Pauls (inspected on microfilm) do not list a baptism date, only a birth date, for Sara..^2,3,4,5,6 She was baptized at St Paul's Evangelical Lutheran, Schoharie, Schoharie, New York, USA. Religion: (an unknown value).^2,4,7
