Mrs. B. W. Strockbine Collection of the Ammerman (Amerman, Amberman), Rose and Higbie Families of Jamaica, Flushing and Hempstead

Consisting of about 60 documents, these refer principally to the Ammerman Family (sometimes spelled Amerman or Amberman) of Jamaica and Hempstead, and especially to John Ammerman. To a lesser extent, some documents are those of the Rose Family of Flushing, more specifically of Lewis Rose and of the Higbie Family of Jamaica, more specifically of Catherine Higbie. Perhaps a few documents pertaining to one or two other families are also intermingled. No doubt, marital relationships existed among the families.
