I am researching the Cummings family in New York State and have found
two references to Boston or Boston Government as the birthplace of Asa
and Ebenezer Cummins.  "Muster Rolls of NY Provincial Troops 1755-1764"
lists their birthplace as Boston,  Doherty in "Settlers of the Beekman
Patent" gives Asa Cummins birthplace as Boston Government.  Is anyone
familiar with a town or district of Boston in provincial NY ca 1740?  It
would probably be in what was then Dutchess or Albany counties.
French's Gazetteer does not have a town of Boston formed that early.
Or, can anyone suggest a reference or source for further research?
Thanks for any help.
