Schoolcraft:
This family traces back into northern England around 1620. It appeared in AlbanyNY around 1710 with a James Schoolcraft. His descendents spread throughout the USA with one branch going to CambridgeNY. That Cambridge branch was Loyalist and fought in Burgoyne's campaign. Around 1790 the father, seven sons and three daughters went to Quebec. They settled initially in Stanbridge and Sutton spreading shortly thereafter into St.
Armand, Clarenceville and northern Vermont.
Christian Schoolcraft (the father, born 1732) probably died between 1795 and 1800 either in Caldwell's Manor or Stanbridge.
Margaret may have died or married in NY and remained there.
Adam Schoolcraft was in Mystic on original land grant.
Christian Jr. died without any evidence of marrying,
probably around 1800 in Stanbridge.
James Schoolcraft was in Stanbridge, returned to central
Vermont, then back to St. Ignace de Stanbridge.
Martin Schoolcraft was in St. Ignace de Stanbridge.
John Schoolcraft was in Stanbridge Station.
William Schoolcraft was in Stanbridge and later Clarenceville.
Peter Schoolcraft was in Sutton and later Eccles Hill,
St. Armand.
Anna Schoolcraft was in St. Ignace de Stanbridge.
Maria Schoolcraft, spinster, was in St. Armand.
Several descendents of this family married Boomhowers.
Boomhower:
My research into this family is less well developed. They are of German origin where the name was Baumhauer. [Spelling variants of both the original name and the 'Anglicized' one abound. They appeared in RhinebeckNY around 1740-1750 with a Jacob Baumhauer. Some initial work by Rev. Harold Boomhower claimed to trace Jacob back into Schwäbisch Gmünd, in southern Germany with ancestors going back to about 1490. However, neither I nor many subsequent researchers have managed to validate the actual connection to the claimed German parents. I think that it was just an informed guess by Rev. Harold.
Anyway, Jacob married twice. The descendents of the first marriage remained in the USA. After the first wife's death, Jacob moved to near AlbanyNY and married a second time. Nine children. When Jacob died around 1787, some of his descendents remain in the USA while others went to Quebec. John and Jacob Jr. both received land grants in Mystic. John died before 1815 and his widow moved just north to some property about a mile north of the Vaughan cemetery. Jacob bought land in Pike river around 1815 and moved there, where it seems from his will that he was a pretty successful farmer. Another brother, Walter, came to Canada and settled to the west of the Richelieu river in St. Remi. A fourth brother, Baltus (Bathasar), is in Stanbridge around 1805 but nothing is seen of him after that. Jacob Sr.'s second wife remarried to Christian Reinhardt and also moved to Quebec where she and her new husband. They lived in St. Armand.
