In Search of Isaiah Cain -- cont.
1787, Feb. 27 -- Jemima Cain (daughter of Isaiah & Leah Cain) married Derrick Hogaboom at Claverack Reformed Church, Columbia Co., N.Y. (First Dutch Reformed Church, Albany, N.Y.)
"Town of Claverack originally was approximately 60,000 acres in area and was the Lower Manor region of Rensellear. Claverack became a township on March 7th, 1788 with an area of 60,000 acres by virtue of an act of the New York State Legislature.
Since communication with other communities and the marketing of farm produce did depend on the Hudson River, Claverack, like the other farm communities was connected to a river landing by a primitive wagon road. Eventually, this roadway extended to eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut establishing an east-west route of travel on land and continues to be important to this day.
Land travel became a possibility during the 1700's with the establishment of the Kings Highway on both sides of the river. In the 1800's these routes became a part of a turnpike system and eventually, in the 1900's, a part of the state highway system. Nevertheless, the river transportation continued to be the most important through the 1700's and most of the 1800's."
