David Ring
d.Bef Mar 1838
Facts and Events
David Ring (1758-183?) appears in various records at Rhinebeck between 1775 and 1790. He was one of four Ring men who refused to sign an oath of allegiance to the Patriot government in 1775.[12] Three children of David Ring were baptized at St. Peter's Lutheran Church between 1777 and 1789.[1] David was supervisor of the road from widow Westfall's house to the village at Rhinebeck Flats in 1789.[11] The following year he was listed at Rhinebeck with brothers George and John in the first United States Federal Census.[6]
After 1790, David moved to Water Lott 1 and 2 at the Nine Partners Patent in the nearby town of Clinton, Dutchess County, New York. There he witnessed the will of Martha, wife of Caleb Tompkins, in 1794. The next year, a 316-acre farm at the southern boundary of David's land was sold by Stephen Callow to John Burnett.[18] Census records place David at Clinton in 1800 as a neighbor of Gilbert Tompkins.[7] The Tompkins farm included a family cemetery located near Hyde Park, south of East Park village and east of Creek Road.[13] David's farm was located in that vicinity. Further research in land and newspaper records could reveal a more precise site.
By 1810, census records at Clinton show an expanded household that includes son Philip, Philip's wife Gertrude, and their daughter Jane.[8] David's daughter Anna Maria and her husband Jacob Benner emigrated to Welland, Ontario, Canada, before 1807.[16] Records of the First Reformed Church of Poughkeepsie mention the remaining family, including the marriage of Philip and Gertrude in 1809, Jane's baptism in 1810, the confirmation of Rebecca Ring in 1812, and of her husband David in 1813.[4] David was Deacon in 1813.[19]
This extended family moved to Saratoga County, New York about 1820. Census records place David at Saratoga in 1820.[9] David, Rebecca, and Gertrude joined the Reformed Dutch Church at Schuylerville, Saratoga County, in 1821.[5] Philip is not mentioned in these church records, but local militia rolls from this period indicate that Philip had resigned his commission as a Captain in Dutchess County and moved out of the county.[10] A newspaper notice from October 1821 refers to letters addressed to Philip at Stillwater, Saratoga County.[14] By this time, David's farm at Saratoga was failing. It was sold at public auction in December 1821.[15]
David Ring died sometime after 1821, possibly between 1831 and 1838. In 1831, Rebecca and Gertrude Ring rejoined the Reformed Dutch Church at Poughkeepsie.[4] The church record does not mention David, but a newspaper from the same year mentions David's farm as a boundary line in the Lower Nine Partners patent.[17] By March 1838, the church membership list calls Rebecca "widow."[4]
