These are genealogies of the Lindsley and Callbreath families who settled in Sullivan County, New York in the 1800s. The Lindsley family is descended from Francis and Susana Cullpeper Linsly of England, Connecticut and New Jersey. The Callbreath family is descended from Thomas and Susannah Finch Callbreath of Scotland and New York.
These families are intertwined with the Huntington and Mitteer families of Sullivan County. The Huntington family is descended from Simon and Margaret Baret Huntington of Norwich, England and Massachusetts. The Mitteer family is descended from Samuel B. and M. Lucinda Amelia Reynolds Mitteer of Basque, France and New York. The nexus of these families was my great-great grandmother Josephine Louisa Callbreath who married Joseph Gilbert Huntington. Their daughter Mary Esther Huntington married Floyd Elmer Lindsley. Floyd and Mary Esther's daughter Helen Alice Lindsley married Frederick William Mitteer.

Another family, descended from Louis P. Hendricks of Germany and New Jersey, is of great interest to me. Louis and his wife Louise Prange are my great grandparents on my father's side, their daughter being Olga Wilhelmina Erna (Matea) Hendricks who married my grandfather John Gay Lindsley. After Anna died, Louis married Wilhelmina Prange and produced at least five more children. Matea (May) lost track of her half sisters and one of her half brothers. Any further information about this family would be greatly appreciated.
