quote from a message borad post in 2002: Hello Scott, The Kipps are mentioned several times in the book. The book begins with Jonathan Doan acquiring the property around what would be Sparta," Two years later He returned to Pennsylvania and reported so favorably that several heads of families, mostly Quakers, decided to return with him. They were John Kipp, William Harvey, Joseph Albertson, Samuel Scott, and John Mills." This was 1815. The John Kipp house still stands and is now known as the Sanderson House. There is a picture in the book of this house. There are several references to Jessie and Caleb Kipp in the book. I have come upon the Sparta Kipp,s many times in my research of my Mills, Minards, and Issac Moore families. Most of the men in Sparta men joined in the Canadian rebellion of 1837 / 1838, Jonathan Doan's son Joshua was the leader of the Sparta group, My grandfather (David Moore Black born 1887) told many stories of Isaac Moore during this time, Some of the stories are on an audio tape. They were all captured, Doan was hung, Isaac was acquitted, and Caleb Kipp was banished from the province for life. There is a lot of information on this.

The census show 4 males and zero females under the age of 10. We show 3 males and 0 females within that age range. (the number 4 in the males box is indistinct and could conceivably be a one. By comparing it with other 4’s on the page, I believe it to be a 4). There is 1 other Mills in Ulster County on the 1800 census, that is James Mills (incorrectly indexed on ancestry as James Miler) who is in Rochester. His age is over 45.

ASSESSMENT OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HALLOWELL FOR

THE YEAR 1808.

Commencing the 7th March, 1808, and ending the 6th March, 1809.

The following, copied from an old Hallowell assessment list,
cannot fail to impress readers, especially young readers, of
to-day. The very names must be dear to all who are
descendants of tbe former landholders, while the proportions of
cleared and uncleared land at the date of the assessment should
prove of considerable interest.

In addition to the figures here copied the roll contains
columns headed houses; round logs; square timber, one storey and fire-places;
square timber, two storeys and fire-places; framed, under two storeys;
brick or stone, one storey, with fire-places; grist mill, run by
water, and additional pair of stones; wind mill; saw mill;
merchant shop; store houses; horses ; oxen; cows; cattle;
swine; stills ; billiard tables; vessels of eight tons, etc.
There were 101 round log houses, 3 of square timber, 28 framed
under two storeys, 1 brick or stone, 1 saw mill, 2 merchant shops,
146 horses, 105 oxen, 384 cows, 5 cattle, 90 swine, no stills,
no billiard tables, no boats of eight tons, and no wind mills.

Isaac Garrett, Aaron White, Thos. Bowerman, Henry Young, Arthur Elsworth
and another Harry Young had four horses each, all the rest fewer,
Widow Dugal and Silas Hill had each two yoke of oxen, but the widow
had also a span of horses, while Silas had none. Ten cattle and
six cows were owned by Thomas Bowerman, and these, with a yoke
of oxen, four horses, and two swine made him the largest stock
owner in the township.

Among the largest landholders were Gideon Bowerman, with 1,500 acres;
Ebenezar Washburn, with 1,150; James Blakely, with 1,740;
Barret Dyer, with 1,900, and Silas Hill, with 955 acres.
