Hi Linda,

My g.g.g.g.g. grandfather's name was John Aernhout. According to the records that I have, he served in the Albany militia during the Revolutionary War. He is also listed as Jacob.

Could this have been
Arnold??
There is an Arnold family in Albany county in that period.

Can you supply more info - wife, or other family members or descendants. I have several Arnold, Arnout, Ornout, Ernhoud, etc. Also a more precise time frame.

I have 15 John/Johannes ranging from 1739 to 1824 in Albany County and 14 Jacob's from circa 1700 thru 1802. The earliest Arnout, etc was Jacob circa 1700.

Elizabeth Oblenus married first: Joseph Vermilyea in Courtland, Westchester co. They had three daughters.. Joseph died by 1793 and she married Grandus T. Wiltsee and moved to Westerloo.. They had five more children.
Her daughters: Mehetable born about 1785 married Francis Arnold on 5 Septm 1810 in Greenville Presbyterian church and Esther Elizabeth married Hendrick Arnold on 19 Jun 18078. same church as sister. He was the son of John Arnold and Cornelia Wiltsee.. I descend through Esther Elizabeth and her second husband Nicholas Myers.. No idea on the children if any.

The Ernhout family that I am working on originated from a John(could have been Johannes) Ernhout who was a native of Germany emigrated to America with Corn. Van Rensselaer and was one of the first settlers in Albany area he served as a private in revolutionary war his wife was a native of Holland he had 13 children - Christopher(born in Albany) is the son from which our family evolves - most of the information I have comes from his son John I believe that originally the name was spelled with an A Arnhout - Christopher and some of his family moved to Ulster Co NY(early 1800,s) and later to Sullivan Co NY - 1840,s
