Dymond of Hudson’s River Project is a focused study of the direct Edward Dymen Lineage of Beekman Patent, Dutchess County, New York Province. Edward Dymen, his children and grandchildren inhabited lands directly east of the Hudson River in the 1700s, from Phillipstown and Fishkill in the south, north to Claverack and Kinderhook, to the Manors of Livingston and Rensselaerswyck, and to Stepehentown. Two branches were members of the Loyalist exodus to Canada in 1783 following the American Revolution others remained in NY and several branches migrated to NE Pennsylvania. Today lineage members are found across North America.
