The Orser family and the Youmans family were early settlers in Duchess County, New York. Eleazer Youmans, born 1702, married Maritie Aerste (Mary Orser) in November of 1728. One of their sons was Arthur Orser, born in 1729 and immigrated to Canada as a United Empire Loyalist, dying in 1800.
A small group of UEL Orsers and Youmans immigrated to Frontenac County during the Revolutionary War. Their harrowing life during the Revolutionary War and their travel to Frontenac County is documented separately in this website at http://www.millard-and-kleinsteuber-histories.com/kleinsteuber-genealogy-reports/orser-connections-the-revolutionary-war.
Arthur Youman's grandson, Eleazer married Marie Magdeleine Levesque, and their daughter Annie married John Henry Lorenz Kleinsteuber. Thus, all the descendants of John Henry Lorenz, including many Greatrix cousins, are also descendants of the Youmans and the Orsers.
Other descendants of Eleazer Youmans and Marie Magdeleine Levesque include Maybee families, Rodgers families, Badgley families, and all their descendants.
I have a separate connection to the Orsers, as my great grandmother was Effie Caraline Orser, born in 1866 to John Brown Orser who had a farm in Hallowell Township, Prince Edward County.
A 10 generations of Orser descendants fan chart beginning with Aert Willemszen is shown below, each generation is a different colour. This fan chart is likely too complex to read the text on your monitor, it is also available below as a pdf version file you can click on and "blow up" in size (using Ctrl & + keys).
Also included is an 1880 map of Hallowell Township showing the location of John Brown Orser's farm where Effie Caraline was born, the approximate location of my mother's birth in 1922, and where my mother, Effie's daughter Florence and husband Mitchel Kleinsteuber lived, named Maple Rest. Effie Caraline lived out her final years at Maple Rest as well, and my mother and husband Frank Millard lived here for a number of years as well (also where my brother and I grew up).
Last photo shows 4 generations, Effie Caraline Orser Foshay, Florence Foshay Kleinsteuber, Ruth Kleinsteuber Millard, and Mitchel Ross Millard.
