Ancestry and descendents of Conrad Esseltine, etc. by Inez Johnson

From page 13:

CONRAD ESSELSTEIN was the second son of Isaak Esseltein, born Aug. 26, 1743. His
mother was Elizabeth Kelder. She was probably the daughter of Coonrad Kelder who
lived in the same town, and it is indicated that Isaac and Lisabeth named the second
son for the maternal grandfather. If such is the case the first son is named for the
paternal grandfather who would be Peter, although at this time we have not found
proof that this is true.

Peter, the oldest son of Isaac and 
Lisabeth Esseltyne, is buried in the old cemetery at Swanton, Vermont.

THE VERMONT ASSEL TYNES (Esselstyne)
THE ASSELTYNES came to Vermont from New York, where they lived in the vicinity of
Claverack which is situated near the Hudson river. There were six of this one
family, namely: Petrus, Conradt, Johannes, Andries, Abraham, and one sister Olive.
This information comes to us from a letter written many years ago by a grandson of
Conrad's, which is still in the Aseltine family.

Peter and John settled near Swanton and Highgate, supposing they were in the United
States but when the international boundary was established they (Peter and John)
discovered that the new boundary placed them in Lower Canada. (Peter and John were
Loyalists, so this may have been intentional.) Abraham and Olive settled in Highgate
and Conrad and Andries settled in Swanton.

Abraham, Conrad, and Andries were enlisted in the 8th Regiment, Albany Co. They did
not come to Vermont until after the Revolutionary War.
