"From the purchase in 1685, the land of Onisquothaa passed through the Slingerland family. On November 23, 1824, Cornelius Slingerland and his wife Anne deeded a parcel of about one and a quarter acres of the stoney bottomed land to Trustees of Onesquethaw Church (also referred to as the Onesquethaw Union Church and Church of Bethlehem in the deed, which was not recorded in the Albany County Clerks Office until October 19, 1915. This omission would later cause serious problems for the church.)"(Submitted on June 22, 2025, by Trudi Jacobson of Slingerlands, New York.)
