Tenth Generation

536. William Alderman Jr.^1327,1354 was born on 20 October 1686 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Simsbury.¹³⁵⁵ He died in 1768 at the age of 82 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Simsbury.¹⁰⁸⁸ William Alderman, Jr. married in Simsbury, Rebecca Osborn, of Windsor. Some of their descendants are still to be found in Connecticut, but many of them went to New York state and are now scattered throughout the west.
In 1717, William Alderman Jr is granted administrator of his fathers estate.
William took an active interest in civic affairs, though most of his time was devoted to looking after his farming interests.

1757 "William Alderman paid DePyster [some] fine flour." [ELP box 129:150]. Some of these records may be for his son William. According to the list he was in lot number 4, as noted above, in the Pawling area on a 100 acre farm with Aziel Cob. William Alderman died ca. 1768. Rebecca Osborne and William Alderman Jr. were married on 28 March 1716 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Simsbury.^1088,1355

537. Rebecca Osborne⁷⁸² was born on 9 July 1691 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Windsor.¹⁰⁸⁸ She died in October 1765 at the age of 74.¹⁰⁸⁸

Children were:

	i.	Jerusha Alderman782 was born on 1 June 1717 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Simsbury.1088
268	ii.	William Alderman III.
	iii.	Jonathan Alderman782,1327 was born about 1720 in Connecticut Colony, Hartford Co., Simsbury.1356 He died on 6 June 1758 at the age of 38. JONATHAN3 ALDERMAN, (William2-1) was born in 1722 and came to the Beekman Patent in 1754. He was taxed in Crum Elbow from Feb. 1753 to Feb. 1754 and in Beekman from June 1754 to 1755 with an assessment of £1 in 1755. On 22 Oct. 1753 Jonathan Alderman and John Hoag both of Crum Elbow signed a note payable to Charles Bullis, blacksmith, for the sum of £9/12 which was payable "on or upon the first day of December next ensuing". Jonathan seems to have signed the note himself. When Jonathan and John did not pay they were sued in the May Court in 1754 for the penal sum of £19/4. Jonathan retained Fletcher Mathews to defend him in the action. [An 2938]. Jonathan Alderman and his wife, name unknown, had a daughter Rebecca, possibly named for his mother, baptized on 25 Aug. 1754 at the Rombout Presbyterian Church. This is the only other record we have for him. Aldermans in America, page 521 states that John Alderman, the brother of Jonathan, died 6 June 1758 but that their mother in her will spoke of a "Jonathan," but the name on the tombstone is clearly "John". It is probable that it was Jonathan who d. 1758. There was a Jonathan Alderman in Neversink in Ulster County in 1800.
