1	Villeroy is a title not a skurname per se. So the correct name should be Pierre DeGarmeaux. per Bill DeGarmo genealogist. The following information is from an email received from Bill DeGarmo. From Family Tree Maker CD New Netherland Vital Rec 1600's p 1525, ch in this fam from Coll on Hist of Albany - except Peter, Albany Dutch Reformed CH Burials of men. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycoloni/chbur.html/ 10 ch in fam-- only Johannes, Matthew and Jellis were in Albany. Rest spread out in region. Villeroy by Stefan Bielinski DeGarmo, De Garmeaulx, De Charmau, alias Villeroy DeGarmeaulx, alias Villeroy, Pierre, "Peter the Frenchman". In 1682, Pierre DeGarmo signed a contract for the purchase of Samuel Wilson's house and lot in Albany. He was identified as "a French vagabond" and was known as "Viela Roy" or Villeroy." By that time, he had married Albany native Catharina Vanderheyden and had begun a family. He was the father of at least ten children, most of whom were baptized in the Albany Dutch church - where his wife was a member. Trading for furs from a base of opertions near Saratoga, the Frenchman Villeroy experienced more than his share of difficulties and appeared frequently before the Albany court. Recognized as a "merchant," he was fined for illegal trading, accused of taking "a considerable sum of money," was the subject of a complaint from the governor of Canada, later was under suspicion of being a French agent and, for a time, was held in custody, Many Frenchmen were similarly suspected in seventeenth century Albany. Villeroy weathered these difficulties. By the end of the century, he was known as Pieter DeGarmo and had established his family in Albany. Identified as of French ethnicity in a home with his wife and seven children on the census of householders in 1697, De Garmo could not take the loyality oath tendered to all residents in 1699 because he was a "papist." He did, however, join Albany's "loyal protestants" in a petition to the royal govenor in 1701. Settling into a modest home near the northern edge of the Albany stockade, De Garmo bolstered sagging trade opportunities by working as a laborer. In 1719, he purchased some land along Foxes Creek and, a few months later, an additional lot at the foot of Gallows Hill. He seems to have moved his family across town for, in 1720, his name appeared on a list of qualified Albany voters living in the first ward. Patriarch of one of colonial Albany's first French families, Pierre DeGarmo died in March 1741 and was buried from the Albany Dutch church. The children of Pierre and Catharina established themselves in Albany and throughout the region. The De Garmo family maintained a small but steady presence in albany throughtout the eighteenth century. His wife was Caatje Vander Heyden sistor of Dirk V.D.H. from Coll on Hist of Albany & Gen of 1st Settlers in Albany p. 39 . *Papist was a 17 century derrogative term identifying a Roman Catholic. or someone of French ancestry, of a supporter of French interests in America, or a person who did not support the Protestant Reformation. This tem ceased by 1750's. The DeGarmos of early Albany trace their origins to the marriage of "French vagabond" Pierre DeGarmo and Albany native Cathrina Vanderheyden who set up housekeeping on Albany's north side during the early 1680's. Their 10 children spread out in the region and beyond. Three sons (Johannes, Matthew, and Jellis) had early Albany lives. The family maintained a limited but constant presence in the city of Albany thru the end of the 18th century. Patriach of one of colonial Albany's first French families.

2	Jonathan Clason married Elizabeth James, May 14, 1719. They were of Long Island. He was one of the selectmen in 1744 and 1747. He made his will July 2, 1747, and died on the 14th of the same month. He gave his property to his son, two daughters, and two granddaughters, the children of his daughter, Hannah Hoyt. His son-in-law, Amos Weed, was administrator. His slave "Billy" was among the personal. He had been a soldier, and he left his horse, sword, sash and accoutrements to his son Jonathan. His estate amounted to four thousand and forty-two pounds and four shillings. Taken from the Clason Memorial page 22	Jonathan CLASON
3	Information of Stephen Clason taken from the book with data gathered by Oliver B. Clason of Gardiner, Maine. Publishing date 1892, by Augusta, Kennenec Journal Print. In the book "Clason Memorial" page 14 is the following; It was in the year sixteen hundred and fifty-four, that mention is first made of a young man who came to Stamford, by the name of Stephen Clason. This is the way he spelled his name on documents still extant, but different town clerks, as they were in the habit of doing in colonial times, took liberties with the orthography, and we find it variously written "Clason" "Clayson" "Clauson" "Clawson" and "Closson." These different methods of spelling give us at least three distinct surnames. "Clauson" is a German name derived from 'Klause', a mountain defile, and is the name of a town in Germany. "Closson" is Dutch, and means the son of 'Klass', the abbreviation of Saint Nicholas; 'Klaas-son', then, means in Dutch, the son of Nicholas. Of course, it is barely possible that Stephen Clason may have been of Dutch descent, and may have come to Stamford by the way of New Netherlands, but this is not in accordance with the traditions of the family, nor is it probable. There is a tradition in the family that Stephen and William McClay were forced to leave Scotland on account of their hostility to the Cromwell government; that they went to France and changed their name to Clayson or Clason the pronunciation of the two words being alike. The name 'McClay' in Scotch, means son of Clay, and transposed would read Clayson. If this were true, it was certainly an ingenious device for disguising their name without essentially changing its etymology. Tradition further says that Stephen came to this country while William returned to Scotland. The tradition is given for what it is worth. The fact is, nothing certain is known about the matter at this time.	Stephen CLASON
4	He moved to Indiana and thence to Manitowoc, Wisconsin where he died. He had large interests in milling. Clason Memorial page 38	Oliver CLAWSON

He settled in Wantage Township, New Jersey now Frankford, on the farm at present owned by the heirs of the late Isaac Holton. Dr. DeGarmo was a man of great learning and in addition to being a skilled physician, he enjoyed a high reputation as a botanist. Paul DeGarmo was found on the tax rolls in Sussex County, New Jersey in the year 1773, according to Mrs. Sylvia Sligar of Orange, California. He was living in Randolph County, Virginia in the year 1803, according to records held by Bill Rice a Professional Genealogist who resided in Elkins, West Virginia. Paul DeGarmo was enumerated in the 1810 and 1820 Federal Census living in Washington County, Pennsylvania in Amwell Township.	Paul DEGARMO

14	note found at www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/cavdh5675.html . Catharina Vanderheyden was born in Albany about 1664, the daughter of Jacob Tysee and Anna Hals Vanderheyden. Her father was a tailor and trader and one of the early settlers of Beverwyck. "Caatje" grew up in Albany where her brother Dirck was a prominent businessman and landholder who had taken over from their aged father. By the early 1680s, she had become the wife of the French trader Pierre DeGarmo. She was the mother of his ten children born from the 1680s to 1704. She was a lifelong member of the Albany dutch Church. As the Albany-based wife of a frequently absent French trader, Catharina was called on to answer complaints against her husband before the Albany court. She also was sued for slandering another Albany woman. In 1709 whe was identified as the owner of a piece of property in the third ward. Perhaps she had inherited the parcel from the Vanderheydens. No record has been found of her death.	Catrina "Caatje" VAN DER HEYDEN

17	Both of Ella's parents were from Canada per the 1900 US Census also in the 1880 In 1880 Isa, Ella, and Ora lived in Rich, Lapeer, Michigan The milk glass candy dish was hers, handed down to me by Grandma (Rose Luella) GLAZIER. Grandma told me her name was VanDerLip, but on Great-Grandma Ora West's marriage documents it's Ella Vanlip (transcription error as this is the only reference to "Vanlip" I've ever seen.) R could be for Rose - I'm pretty sure my Grandmother Glazier (Rose Luella HARRIS) was named for this woman, who would have been her Grandmother.... I've seen her referred to as Rosilind in her marriage records, Ella R in censes after marring Isaac. But in the 1870 census she was "Lewella" - I would guess her real birth name is Lewella Rose (or Rosalind) Vanderlip. Tried spelling Lewella same as Grandma's Luella...	Luella R VANDERLIP
