Sally, How come
some people think Newbury Cloos was born in Scotland? Also did Reuben
Cloose ever live in Connecticut?
I have been
researching one Michael Clark born 1777 son of Lamberton Clark of
Middletown, Middlesex, CT. There are Short's in the area. I'll have to
look for Cloos also. I have the Microfilm at our local FHC here in
Wyoming. Heather

Hi Sally, I
found:

There were a lot of
Cloos names in this Greenwich Record. Have you ever looked at this
site : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/
If you are looking
in Connecticut and they're adding daily to Massachusetts it is a great
site. It compares very well with the town record I am looking at.

You asked where I
found the 1790 census info on Reuben Close. It was on the Rootsweb site
for Mohawk Town, Montgomery Co., NY. I didn't find anything else on the
Close family there. It might be worth writing to ask if they have a
deed for purchase of land by Reuben and if you do ask for a deed for
Reuben Close or Cloos. Helen

My daughter has been
doing some genealogy research this summer. She found out that Newbury's
father was Reuben and a revolutionary war soldier. He does not appear
to have been born in Scotland and may have been one of the Palatine
Germans who emigrated here during the mass exodus in the early 1700s.
Hope you have a great reunion. Pat ................Then Sally talked
to Pat and he told her about the site for Palatines in Germany, etc. -
lots of info and Sally found under: Fort Klock Historic Restoration a
Cloes, Reuben under Tryon County Militia, 3rd Regiment, a Peter Cloes
and a Peter Clos elsewhere.

Hi again Sally! There
is a pretty good probability that you are correct in assuming that your
Cloos family escaped from the Palatines and settled in PA. My wife has
some branches that did just that - PA to MD, to WV, to IL. These folks
had VERY strong Church affiliations and the family's intermarried and
stuck together whenever they moved. Check the geographic areas history
where you locate your line and look for other
family's
and the early local church history's. If you find a connection, you can
probably bet that the history of some other local family will pertain to
your Cloos line also. Also these folks who left the Palatinate very
often had moved all over the place to escape religious persecution - ie
from northern France, to Germany, to Switzerland, back to Germany, to
the Colonies (USA). Again, be liberal in the spelling of the names as
you search - they were all "goofed-up" in Europe, but also in the USA up
into the late 1800's and early 1900's. Incidentally, the name Clos/Klos/etc.
is a contraction of the name, Nikolaus, "Victor of the Nation". Bishop
Nikolaus of Myra in the 4th Century was very popular and this name
became very common. In common use Nikolaus became Klass, and then many
variations: Klos in German, Clos in French. I found old records in the
old Alsace/Lorraine (now Moselle) region in France going back into the
1569-1799 period with all the various spellings - only made a few
"guesstimate" connection however. "Close" is English meaning the
"enclosed courtyard" - a location: -- Baynard Close (the enclosed
courtyard at the Baynard home). And again, Happy Hunting! Earl Close

> Hi,Thank-you for
your response. My connection to Reuben is thru Matilda Cloos. Her
daughter Jane Faulkner is my gg grandmother, Flora my g grandmother,
Delos Becraft my grandfather. Do you have any info on Reuben's wife, who
is buried in the Carpenter Cemetery ? I have reason to believe that she
was a Mohawk Indian, probably from near the Amsterdam area. Would be
interested in any info about she and Reuben. Understand he was born in
Scotland around 1742.Thanks,Paula

This comes from Paula
Michener Hubert on 6/21/2002 My mother remembers her grandmother Flora
Wass Becraft, daughter of Jane Faulkner Wass, daughter of Matilda Cloos,
and she says that Flora was Mohawk Indian. I have tried to trace that
connection and have ruled it out in the Wass and Faulkner end of the
family. The area in Montgomery County in that time period had many
Mohawk Indians, so that is where I came up with the idea of Reuben's
wife being the Indian.
