Notes for MARGARET
(MARGARETHA) SCHERMERHORN:
I believe
Margaret (Schermerhorn) Jarvis is the daughter of Jacob J. and Rachel
(Gardenier) Schermerhorn. Tully and Margaret named their children in a manner
that clearly indicates this relationship. Specifically, their first son was
named "Jacob Schermerhorn", and their first daughter was named
"Abigail C." (Tully's mother was "Abigail Church"). This
naming pattern continues with their third and fourth child, the third was named
"Rachel B.", and Magaretha's mother was "Rachel Gardenier"
(Rachel's "B" may actually have been "G"). And the fourth
child was named "Joseph Alvah" (Tully's father was "Joseph"
and Tully's brother was "Alvah").
There have been
three different birthdates, varying by as much as ten months, that have been
found for Tully's wife, Margaret (see below for specifics), none of which are
the well documented birthdate of 11/8/1786 for Margaretha. Even the church
record of 1/7/1787 for Margartha's baptism is earlier than the birthdates found
for Margaret.
Only having
reviewed the 1860 and 1865 census records for Margaret, I believe they too are
inconsistant with one another. The 1860 census enumerated on July 17th has her
age as 63, which is consistant with the age of Jacob and Rachel's daughter
(also consistant with her age according to her headstone). However, the 1865 census enumerated on June
19th has her age as 67, which is consistant with Margaret's age as reported in
the newspaper. At least one of the ages for Margaret that is wrong on those
census reports, unless she was born at another date (between June 20 - July 16,
1787).
Since none of
the birthdates that have been found for Margaret match that of Margaretha's
birth, one may conclude that Tully's wife could not be Jacob and Rachel's
daughter. However, I would argue that
since all three birthdates found for Margaret are different, it could as well
indicate that none of these are correct. In fact, one may even make an argument
that the birthdate of 12/8/1787 that was found for Margaret is a typographical
error for the correct birthdate of 11/8/1786. In any case, I discount the dates
found of Margaret's birth because of their inconsistancies.

Found on pg 269
of "Marriage & Death Notices from Tompkins County, New York
Newspapers", by Mary Smith Jackson:
"JARVIS
Margaret 79y 1m 2d in Ithaca, NY January 20, 1867" ==> b 12/18/1787
Death notice for
Margaret found in the Ithaca Citizen & Democrat dated Friday, January 25,
1867
"In Ithaca
Sunday morning, the 20th inst., Mrs. Margaret Jarvis, mother of J. A. Jarvis,
aged 79 years, 1 month and 12 days. ==> b 12/08/1787
Margaret's
headstone reads ... Feb 1787 - Jan 1867 ==> b 2/1787
The correct date
of birth for Margaretha, dau of Jacob & Rachel Schemerhorn is 11/8/1786.
To summarize the
above, it seems very likely that Mary Smith Jackson may have made a typo and
showed "2d", rather than "12d" that appeared in the Ithaca
Citizen & Democrat. Given that this seems reasonable, might it be
reasonable that the reporter who obtained Margaret's date of birth (presumably
from family member) mistakenly wrote
down 12/8/1787 instead of 11/8/1786? Of course it is equally possible that the
person provided this date incorrectly to the reporter. The fact that on her
headstone is carved "Feb 1787" for her birth, it's clear her
birthdate was being incorrectly communicated.
