A caution on the methods I use in compiling these timelines. In an ideal world I would have 240 hours each day to track down original sources for each and every date and event mentioned in the files below. And would be up to about the date 1613. However....
Since I don't, you should know that almost all of the material is derived from secondary (if not tertiary) sources. Some may be from a reference such as French's Gazetteer (not necessarily the gospel, BTW), some may be from a local, current newspaper or magaizne article, some from a modern book. Some may be factoids I came across somewhere. If you have any questions on sources, let me know. I'll help if I can, perhaps suggesting other places to search. I may or may not be able to recall my source and will ceratinly try and track it down for you, as soon as possible. I'm as interested in accuracy as you are.
If you have any corrections be sure and let me know. I'll pick up on e-mails much faster if you put smething like "NYNY Corection" or "Timeline Query" in the header. - Thanks, David
