This entry is a labor of love, so to speak—there’s nothing in it for me! Among the many items that I have gotten from Mom regarding family history of the Sprongs and Ensigns, there was a two-page gazette from 1800. It appears to be an original, although I know no criteria to judge it by. Mom said that it was her mother’s, so on a couple of occasions I have scanned the names that appear in it to see if there are references to any ancestors, but no luck. Tonight I decided to be methodical about it and go through each item, pulling out the names and places, to see if anything presented itself to me as a reason for having this all these years.
Upon looking at it carefully, I realized that I think the reason it was kept is because it has much coverage in it of General George Washington’s death. Kind of the same reason that I have the front section of the Houston Chronicle for certain things, like the Challenger disaster.
However, there must be lots of people out there somewhere who would dearly love to see the part of the gazette that pertains to their family. Since I have no idea if this paper has been preserved anywhere, or indexed, I am going to put my notes on my blog here. That way anyone Googling a name may be led here. If this is you, Reader, and you would like a copy of the gazette (I scanned it), please comment on this entry and I will contact you via e-mail.
The following are from the Ulster County Gazette, published at Kingston [New York], by Samuel Freer and Son; Saturday, January 4, 1800, Vol. II, Num. 88. This is not a professional abstraction but simply a listing of names and places mentioned. I have scanned the gazette and will be happy to send along the images to anyone whose family is mentioned. Please note that I am not an expert in the writing of the time, and there are many places where I have put an “f” that should probably have been an “s”.
Since this is not meant to be read but just to get names out there for the search engines, I have not put each name or place on its own line. Please forgive me for this!

As I under stand there are only 2 originals left in existence. I have a reproduction of the Ulster County Gazette I would consider selling. The paper was my Great Grandmothers; my father had it for about 40 years and gave to me in 1966. I do not know which reproduction it is but it does not have any reproduction marks on it. It is made of paper not cloth as the original one were. While it does have some creases and small tears the paper is complete and mounted between glass to protect it from any further damage. Anyone interested please contact me.
