 The marriage license of Charles Platt of Poughkeepsie and Caroline Adriance of Fishkill was recorded at Albany. The bride was born in Holland, a country which her husband had visited some years previous during an extensive tour embracing the West Indies, Mosquito Coast, Charlestown, S.C., England, Holland and Madeira, returning to New York after an absence of ten years and six months. Mrs. Platts always read her Dutch Bible. She was a notably handsome woman even in advanced years, having rosy cheecks and a dignified mien and wearing a cap with daintily crimped border. The three daughters and five sons were: Margaret, married N.H. Treadwell; Letitia, first wife of Rev. Frederick Halsey; Hannah, wife of Eleazer Miller; and Zephaniah, Isaac C., Charles C., Nathaniel 2nd.
