Thanks to the efforts of Linda Wilbur my cousin in Michigan a correction can be made to the family of Alexander A. Weatherwax and wife Ruth Sterns. Located on page 222 of my book.
Listed as #1247 is Catherine or Cates Weatherwax b: 26 May 1821. This is an error she did not exist.
What should be included is the following.
Coles G. Weatherwax or Witherwax b: 26 May 1821
Source of correction are photo copies of actual Alexander A. Weatherwax Bible pages (pg 679). It is not confirmed if he was born in NY or MI. His mother Ruth Sterns died when he was 9 months old in 1822 in MI.
Coles would marry a Margaret L. Cheyeman (Cheeseman) c1842. They had five known children.
1. James A. Witherwax 1843-1843
2. Josiah S. Witherwax 1844-1859
3. Margaret M. Witherwax 1847-1870
4. Ephraim B. Witherwax 1850-????; marr:Luella M. Fitch
5. Mary Elizabeth Witherwax 1856-1858

Most of this family are buried in Wurtemburg Cemetery Rhinebeck,Dutchess co NY. Also known as St. Pauls Lutheran Church Cemetery. Note that most of the family died between1858-1859.
 The two children Margaret and Ephraim lived longer.
Coles is found living with his inlaws,in the household of Cole Cheyeman in USC1850 in the village of Clinton,Dutchess co NY. I have not been able to locate him in any other USC. By 1877 his son Ephraim has moved on to the SD and IA area where his son James W. Weatherwax was b: 7 Dec 1877.
I have located two extracts of letters of Administration that name Coles  one dated 1856 and the other dated 1859. I will have to look up these documents to see what is contained in them.
I had previously found Coles and his family but could not confirm his parentage until Linda Wilbur
indicated that we both had miss read the Bible pages in our research. So in the next edition of The Weatherwax Genealogy this correction and any additional information will appear.
Anyone with additional information please let us know so we can update our Databases.

Weatherwax reunion 2013. Some have asked me about a Reunion for Weatherwax's in 2013. In the past we have held these in NY State in various locations. Usually set up as a family picnic in area parks etc. Some have expressed an interest in holding one in 2013. Currently I am obligated for an appearance in one in July 2013, and I will be at the Palatine National Conference in Albany NY in June 2013. If you are interested let me know and I will obtain a location and information and post it on this page for all to join in.
Usual format has been to rent a site or pavalion in local state park and everyone brings there own picnic lunch and shares family history during the day

Along with the new year brings new research news. The Ancestral land of Andreas Weatherwax (1700-1784) was previously identified by Mr. R. Johnson (deceased)as lying under the Tomhannock Reservoir which is in present day Pittstown,Rensselaer co. NY. Late in December 2012 I was contacted by Christinia Kelly Town Historian for Schaghticoke. She questioned the location cited by Mr. Johnson. We managed finally to link up for a discussion of the issue in early Jan 2013. Additional research is ongoing but research so far seems to indicate that the correct location is not under the Reservoir, but actually in Schaghticoke near the site of the Brookins Family Cemetery.
Previous research efforts with the town historian of Pittstown failed to prove the the reservoir as the location of the 2800 acres mentioned in Andreas's Will  dated 1784. However research using the papers of John Peer Weatherwax and his ancestors clearly indicate the land of Johannes or Hannes Weatherwax's son Alexander was in the area of present day location of the Brookins Family cemetery
in Schaghticoke. Several issues including the changing boundaries of Lansingburgh,Schaghticoke and Troy all seemed to have confused Mr. Johnson's  research. It seems he chose the wrong end of Tomhannock brook of stream. The corrected location agrees with many early records, land deeds,voter listings and othe family  record citations all support Schaghticoke as the proper location. This year I will be working on documenting sources and to confirm a more accurate location of these important family lands.

Further reseacrh continues.

Arthur William Burgoyne Watherwax (Weatherwax) b: 17 Aug 1895 in Hempstead,Nassau co NY.
He was the son of Joseph Burgoyne Weatherwax (1847-1928) and Mary Elizabeth "Cordelia" Roberts (1852-1916)
He married 1st abt 1916 to Della L. Holbert probably in Winfield,Marion co WV.
Their children were
1. Arthur William Watherwax Jr. b:8 Oct 1921 TN;m: Dorothy J. Ohrman
2. Mary Catherine Watherwax b:1925TN;m: Thomas Hurst Jr.
3. Richard G. Watherwax b:1935 Allegheny,PA
It appears he and Della divorce abt 1935

He married 2nd Elizabeth Waid in Jan 1937 in E. Orange NJ
Their children were:
1.Amelie "Tish" Watherwax b:21 Oct 1937 E. Orange NJ
2. Georgia Waid Watherwax b:7 Aug 1941 E. Orange,NJ;m: William Black in FL

In the R.I. census of 1915 we find Arthur as a recruit for the U.S. Navy at the Naval Training Center in Newport R.I. For part of his life he worked as a Clerk for the Southern Railroad. Arthur d: 15 Mar 1970 in Sarasota co. FL. Arthur appears in USC1920 in Norfolk,VA;USC1930 Mckeesport,Allegheny,PA, USC1940 E. Orange,Essex,NJ. In 1942 he registered for the Draft WWII while living in E. Orange NJ
wife Elizabeth Waid b: 19 Dec 1904 in Jefferson AL;d: Dec 2001 in Sarasota co. FL
Now as ongoing research continues I hope to add more information on this family. I do have the ancestors back to 1710 and some descendants already. I do know that there was a conflict between Arthur  and his brother Charles over the proper spelling of their surname. Charles used Weatherwax and Arthur used Watherwax.
