Comparing Source Nos. 3 and 5, below, there seems to be some question whether Johannes was, during 1710-11, in Livingston Manor, Ulster [now Sullivan] Co., or in West Camp, Ulster Co.

Sources (n.b., Ulster is an original county, formed in 1683; Sullivan Co. was formed from Ulster Co. in 1809):

Co., Baltimore, NY; Broderbund CD-267, CD-354).  Four lists of Palatines from Germany in 1709, copied from a manuscript in the British Museum, London.
p. 100 John Straub, age 26, London, Eng., 1709
This John STRAUB is presumed to be the Johannes STRAUB who shows up in New York in 1710.

p. 282 E.  THE NEW YORK SUBSISTENCE LIST
This list was compiled from the "journal" of Palatine debtors to the British government for subsistence given either in New York City or in the Hudson River settlements, from their landing in 1710 to September, 1712.  The list was found in the Public Record Office, C.O. 5/1230 and was corrected from the accompanying 'ledger,' C.O. 5/1231.  As it seemed advisable to include some indication of the number in each family and since limitations of space forbade the inclusion of the six notations at various times given in the journal, only two notations have been given here, that is, the first in 1710 usually and the last in 1712 normally.
p. 290 Straub, Johannes 2-0, 2-1
The first reading indicates two adults; the second reading shows an additional child under ten, who would presumably have been Johann Heinrich.  This book is a thorough rendering of the early Palatine experience in New York.

p. 446 Appendix VII:  Names of Male Palatines, above Twenty-One Years Old, in Livingston Manor, N.Y., in the Winter 1710, and Summer 1711...
Johannes Straub...
Livingston Manor was, then, in Ulster Co., and is, now, in Sullivan Co., so… was he in West Camp or Livingston Manor?  Or is Rupp in error?  (Wouldn't be the first time.)
