Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1781/2 Birth and Baptism of Rosina Lown (1781-1881) in Poughkeepsie, New York

I looked in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings for Treasure Chest Thursday.

The treasure today is the 1781 birth and baptism record of Rosina Lown of Poughkeepsie, New York:

The birth/baptism record is the third entry from the top of the page:

This record is an Original Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth and baptism of Rosina Lown, the daughter of Goerg Lown and Susannah Shoemaker.  

Rosina Lown (1781-1881) was born 3 December 1781 in Poughkeepsie, New York, the daughter of Goerg and Susannah (Shoemaker) Lown.    She married Isaac Lanfear on 10 October 1809  in Claverack, New York.  They had ten children.

Isaac and Rosina (Lown) Lanfear are my 4th great-grandparents. I am descended through one of their children who had a son Devier James Lanphear Smith (1839-1894) adopted by Ranslow and Mary (Bell) Smith, who married Abigail A. Vaux (1844-1931) in 1861 in Dodge County, Wisconsin.
