Come on, when would any elected politician in NY state actually listen to NY residents? Jeez, we vote en masse for someone based on their last name, then expect them to listen to common sense.

This matter should be put up as some sort of statewide referendum when we vote in November. Stuff like this that has super broad support by a sizable majority of residents should be allowed to be given an up or down binding vote by said residents during a normal voting season.

Comment on What is NY’s oldest winery? Wrong! by Ron

Ron — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:02:50 +0000

Jean Jaques was actually “John Jaques”. I have him as well as his children in census records dating from 1820 – 1910. According to every single record John Jaques was born in New Jersey. It sounds romantic to have his origins from Europe, but there is absolutely no source information for this. When I contacted the winery they were unable to give any historic information on John Jaques origin or ancestry. The web-site and other documentation states him to have been of Huguenot descent. Many Orange County residents at that time had come from various parts of the Minisink Valley which included parts of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and even some argued Connecticut roots. My inclination is to believe the census records which state John Jaques having been born in New Jersey about 1890.

You notice so much it’s laborious to argue with you (not that I really would? HaHa). You positively put a new spin on a subject that’s been written about by others. Nice stuff!
