Anthony Yelverton was the son of Roeloff Ostrom and Elizabeth Yelverton. He married Sarah Hagaman with whom he had a son, Daniel Yelverton Ostrom (1802 - 1852). See Sons of American Revolution Membership Application number 79980.
Anthony Yelverton Ostrom fled NY to Canada with his father Roeluf (Ruliff) Ostrom and mother Elizabeth Yelverton, brothers David Ostrom & Daniel Ostrom and his sisters Abigail Ostrom, Jenna/Jane Ostrom, Martha Ostrom, Sarah Ostrom & Blandina/Dentia (Ostrom) Hagaman (widow of Henry Hagaman). Only one brother John Ostrom stayed in NY.
After being given a grant of land for staying loyal to the Crown, he returned to Montgomery Co., NY to marry Sarah Hagaman and be with his brother John Ostrom who had married Esther Hagaman, sister of Sarah.
His father/mother, other brothers and sisters stayed in Canada as United Empire Loyalists and Blandina/Dentia married Abel Gilbert and farmed Anthony Yelverton Ostrom's land grant. The War of Independence deeply divided this family.

Clarification of the above biography by Andrea M. (#49309220)
Anthony Yelverton Ostrom didn't flee to Canada. He married in Schenectady in 1788 (three years after his father, mother, and brother Daniel went to Canada), and removed with his wife and 4 children to Sidney, Hastings Co. Ontario circa 1795, where he bought land. He applied for and received land as a settler (not U.E.L.) in 1797, but was back in Hagaman's Mills, New York, when his 5th child was baptized at Manny's Corners Church (Presbyterian or still Reformed Dutch, it's a bit hard to tell). He spent the rest of his life there, as did brother John. Brother Daniel and all their sisters (who had arrived before 1790) remained in Ontario; the family did not receive U.E.L. status until 1805, making them eligible for land grants as Loyalists.
Anthony's brother John (husband of Esther (entered in Findagrave as "Estiler") is likely buried in this cemetery as well, but without a headstone; a farmer, he was said by a former neighbor to be "poor but respectable."

His parents and whole family were in the Poughkeepsie area (exact location unknown) until after the Revolution. All the children before Daniel were born there. A c1950 photo of his headstone shows Daniel was born in Albany Co.; see memorial #155363990
