A birth record for Barrent Becker's family has a large central heart for Barrent Becker, born Oct. 22, 1766- died 1873 and his Wife Catharine Becker born June 2, 1764. They married April 4, 1785. Their first child John Becker was born May 26, 1786 and is in a red heart above and to the left. Their second child Henry was born Sept. 24, 1795 and is in a brown heart above and to the right with a coffin above it and he died age 20 on May 16, 1815.
Barrent Becker is the son of Hannes S. Becker. His wife, Catherine Rickert's, ancestors were early settlers of Middleburgh, Schoharie, NY. She was the daughter of Johannes Rickert (1736-1806) born in Middleburgh and Catharina Houck.
Johannes Rickert was the son of Marcus Rickert (1711-1778), born in Schoharie, Schoharie County and Elizabeth Lawyer (1718-before 1805), born in Schoharie, Schoharie County.
Marcus Rickert was the son of Johan Konrad Rickert (~1680-?) born in Hailer, Hesse, Germany and Sara Catharina Schieffer (~1683-1759)born in Nieder-Grandau, Germany and buried in Schoharie, NY.
Barrent & Catherine were married in Schoharie, Albany County, on April 4, 1786 only 1½ months before the first son John was born, not April 4, 1785 as the birth record states. Barrent Becker was a farmer in Middleburgh, NY in 1840 Census. They also lived in the Charleston Four Corners area of Montgomery County, NY. Barrent died in 1873.
William Murray was born Nov. 17, 1756 in Bristol, Eng., the son of George & Ann Murray. William served in the King's Army in 1774 but deserted in 1776 & he joined the American Army in 1777. He served widely in NY until the Revolutionary War ended in 1783.
