Genealogy - Crooke and Ruggles Families, 1933-1935
Scope and Contents
Three letters from George B. Kinkead, College of Preachers, Cathedral Close, Washington, D.C. to Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Broome about a headstone in Poughkeepsie, New York for Charles H.H. Broome, deceased December 12, 1872. Kinkead states that the area has no other burials and was "supposed to belong to Ruggles" though the Crookes, Ruggles, and Broomes are related. He also found an old Crooke burying ground near Hyde Park which contained Charles Crooke and his wife, Jane Van Valkenburgh, plus other ancestors of the Broomes. He wants to use the plot to move the stones to the Poughkeepsie cemetery, where a Crooke is buried near the Broome family. He gives the genealogy of Jan Van Valkenburgh through the Crooke and Broome families.
