WASHINGTON COUNTY
NEW YORK
ITS HISTORY TO THE CLOSE
OF THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY
HISTORIAN AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF WILLIAM L. STONE
AUTHOR OF THE "LIFE AND TIMES OF SIR WILLIAM JOHNSON, BART," " BURGOYNE'S CAMPAIGN AND ST. LEGER'S EXPEDITION," "MILITARY JOURNALS
OF MAJOR-GENERAL, RIEDESEL.," &C., &C., &C.
ASSOCIATE EDITOR HON. A. DALLAS WAIT
" Forgotten generations live again : Assume the bodily shapes they wore of old, Beyond the Flood." - KIRKE WHITE.
PUBLISHED BY THE NEW YORK HISTORY CO. 1901.
. 1398
PREFACE.
Washington County, N. Y., may justly be considered the classic ground of America. On her soil were fought many of the battles of " William and Mary's War," " Queen Anne's War," " The Old French War," "The French War" and the " Revolutionary War." And Washington County deserves from the historian particular recogni- tion for the further reason that within her borders occurred two events which determined for two centuries the policies of France and Great Britain
The first of these was the skirmish between Le Sieur de Champlain in 1609, when, at the head of the Algonquins and Hurons, he defeated the Iroquois and, by this victory, laid the foundation of the implaca- ble hatred of the Iroquois (the "Six Nations") against the French, which prevented the "Six Nations" from espousing the French cause against that of the English. This action of the Iroquois undoubtedly led to the final overthrow of the French power in America. Indeed, had it not been for Champlain's victory, it is perhaps not too much to say, that the United States would now be a French nation.
The second of these events to which reference has been made belongs to the War of the American Revolution.
The elaborate preparation which resulted in sending forth the finest and best equipped army that had ever left the shores of Eng- land; the arrogant proclamations that heralded its approach ; the suc- cessful advance through Washington County; the terror inspired by its savage allies; the early consternation and discomfiture of the Colonists; the subsequent rally of desperation; the indecisive conflict of September 17, 1777 ; the disastrous defeat of the Briton October 7- all culminated at Schuylerville in the capitulation of the entire British army and the hosannas of the nation at its glorious deliverance. This event secured for us the French alliance and lifted the cloud of moral and financial gloom that had settled upon the hearts of the people, dampening the hopes of the leaders of the Revolution and wringing despairing words even from the hopeful Washington. From that auspicious day belief in the ultimate triumph of American Liberty
iv
PREFACE.
never abandoned the nation until it was realized and sealed four years later, almost to a day, in the final surrender at Yorktown.
But, if it is said that this culmination took place on the soil of Sara- toga County, it should ever be kept in mind that the surrender of the British army was due chiefly, if indeed not entirely, to the erection of Colonel Fellows' batteries at the mouth of the Battenkill, nearly opposite the scene of the surrender and in Washington County. In fact, had it not been for those batteries, thus enfilading and cutting off all chance of the retreat of the British Army, Burgoyne would undoubtedly have escaped with his army into Canada and thus the moral effects of his two previous defeats would have been completely neutralized in all the cabinets of Europe.
The publishers of this history desired that full justice should be given to the descendants of those who were participants in these stirring events; and while there have been previously written a history of the county and detached narratives of different scenes enacted within her borders, yet I think the publishers may justly claim the present history to be a presentation of much new matter connected with Washington County, which has never before made its appearance, as well as a succinct, clear and accurate review of the entire history of the county to the close of the nineteenth century.
Aside, moreover, from these military occurrences, the county is deserving of great credit, not only for the introduction of flax and industries depending upon its culture, but for causing her sister coun- ties to emulate her efforts by which Northern New York, especially, has attained a proud name among manufacturers and producers gen- erally, throughout the United States.
One word more: In the preparation of this History-aside from my own works, and citations from some forty other authorities, and ex- clusive of several original MS. Journals, now for the first time made public-I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the writings of Humphrey, Johnson and Palmer, and my old and personal friends, the late B. C. Butler, N. B. Sylvester, Francis Parkman, Dr. Asa Fitch, Prof. John Fiske and Dr. A. W. Holden. I also desire to acknowledge the valuable assistance of Hon. A. Dallas Wait, my associate, as well as that of Mr. Franklin B. Dowd, of Saratoga Springs, from whose graceful pen have emanated some of the personal sketches and town histories contained in the present volume.
Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1901. WILLIAM L. STONE.
