Note: It is now believed that wife Charity and he first emmigrated to Illinois in 1835 and then at some point after daughter Sarah's birth in Illinois in 1838 to Iowa and then back to Galena in 1843. This conclusion is from Barnabus's obituary which states that Barnabus was born in Iowa in 1842 and then moved with his parents to Galena when he was one year old.

Notes:

David Williams and the capture of Andre: a paper read before the Tarrytown Historical Society, Marcius Denison Raymond, Tarrytown Argus, 1902, 26 pages:

"Aert Williams certainly had a sister Rachel, who married Martinus Van Wart, the father of Isaac Van Wart, one of the Captors, who was an own cousin to David Williams. Then David Williams had a sister Sarah who married David Mead, and a sister Catharine who married Andrew Green, a son Moses, baptised in 1769, for whom Moses Harris and Sarah Williams were sponsors. Also sisters Rachel and Maritie, and a brother John, who were unmarried. We will only add the genealogical fact that Femmetie (Phebe) Waldron, the mother of David Williams, was the daughter of Jan Waldron and Margarictie Rouw his wife, and baptised at the old Dutch Church, Nov. 20, 1736, Nicklaes Rouw and Annatie Rouw being sponsors. Margarietie Rouw (Rowe) was a member of the old Dutch Church date of 1734."
____________________________
The South Salem (NY) Church index indicates an Andrew Green marriage;
m. "Aug 14, 1780 Andrew Green & Sarah Griffin" this will need to be resolved. Could it be the same or another Andrew Green?
