Submitted by Wayne Shepard:

"A History of Deerpark in Orange County", Peter Gumaer, Minisink Valley Historical Society, Port Jervis, New York, 1890. This has some good information about his family. I found it in the library back in Bangor, ME, and copied most of it. It can be found on line - http://www.archive.org/details/historyofdeerpar00gumaer

"Baptismal and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, Ulster County, New York", Roswell Randall Hoes, page 173

"Minisink Valley Reformed Dutch Church Records 1716-1830", Royden Woodward Vosburgh

History of Cayuga County, New York : with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers,Eliot G. Storke, Syracuse: D. Mason, 1879, 650 pgs.

If you haven't been aware of this, the Brodhead Family Association has put together an 11-volume (so far) "Depuy Family History by Jean M. Smith, Ruth Heidgerd, and Ann Goodwill. The early volumes are fairly well documented, but then they just compile family histories submitted to them by individuals.

I have the will of Benjamin if you need a copy.

Some of these can be found at Heritage Quest on line. There are some libraries that offer it free, and I use the Orange County, NY, Public Library site:
