HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
dueed into the markets of New York, Boston, and other large cities, but once used it recomineuded itself. In Is;3 it is estimated there werc 3000 men and boys engaged in quarrying in the town of Sangerties.
" Of the numerous small hamlets that spran; into existence through thy muro thiekly settled quarry districts in the town of Saugerties, appropriately termed, Quarryville is the oldest and largest. In 1873 it is estimated to have had a population of 1200, but at the present time there are probably not more than half that number of inhabitants, the falling off in the demand for stone having caused many to seek employment elsewhere. Most of these people are of Irish and German nationality.
" Elisha Parks, a pioneer quarryman, was the first to settle here and build himself a home. He was soou followed in this respect by William Van Valkenburg, Thomas Maxwell, and others. Mr. James Maxwell at present occupies the old Maxwell family residence. Extensive quarries were opened on the landIs of Messrs. Plough, Wynkoop, and Crawford. The following are the names of a few of the pioncer quarrymen : 1. Ransom, Johu Fisher, John Waters, Patrick Brady, Timothy Donovan, Henry Kimball, Peter Fiero, John Maxwell, Wendell Saile, Christopher Fiero, James Maxwell, Owen Deveny, Walter Cook, Abrauer Bouse, and Hagh Smith. From 1810 to 1850 be- tweeu 60 and 100 loadsof stone enwe to Mallen daily from: Quarryville. "Geological Formation .- After careful examination we find that ' bluestone' is simply a local terui given to the stone commonly known by that name, and that its proper name is Greywacke. This . Cham- bers' Kueyelopredia' defines as a partially-translated German word used as the name of a rock formell of heated elay, common in though not confined to the Silurian and Cambrian strata. It is an extraordinary fact that in the vicinity of St. Petersburg the Silurian system contains beds of unconsolidated clay. A visit to any of our briekyards will show that the layers of blue elay are the same as that of the bluestone in our quarries; bence it is reasonable to suppose that at some stage - of the world's history bluestone was blue elay, and that by the action of heat or other agencies it was brought to its present state. Its color and composition would still further show this.
" The Siluriau system occurs in the basin of Hudson's Bay, in the valley of the river St. Lawrence, and in the valley of Lake Champlain. In portions of New York State it is most fully dove! pel, with a great number of sublivisions in regular layers, one upen the other, with outerops ia favorable condition for examination. These rocks occur also in England, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. A great variety of rock is comprised in this system. Hard sandstones, fine slates, und flagging-stones constitute a large part. Conglomerates are less cousinon. Many formations consist largely of limestone. Professor James Hall, in a description of three of the classes of this system, -- the Hellerberg, the Hudson River, and the Portage,-in which greywacke is quarrie i to any extent, says, ' Hun- dreds of fossils have been found in these groups; a large majority, however, of them are shells. Snakes, toads, worins, coral, and star- fish have been found in bluestone. From the great number of species of shells in the Sibirian system within the State of New York ?' may be inferred that the climat : was tropical, or at least um i warmer than it is now, for, at the present time, it is only in warto regions that such a profesion of species is found in such limited areas.'
"Greywache belongs to the fourth class in stratifed rocks, the character of the rock being clearly defined by an examination of the deposition. It formus a stratum which is generally about two feet thick, und can be spdit out in slabs of almost any desired size. The rock is traversel by joints that divide the slabs about perpendicular to their layers, and are as smooth as if ent by a saw, which greatly facilitates the libor of the quarrymen. Gray & Adams, in their ' Elemeuta of Geology,' in speaking of the formation of rocks, state that 'thin layers of fine material und of very uniforin thickness are deposited from quiet waters, and those which cousist of coarse gravel und jobbles are the products of agitated waters. The layers of the stratifel rock, originally mud, sand, gravel, shells, coral, etc., have become solid by the agency of heat, pressure, cohesion, crystalli- zatiou, etc. L'astratified rocks have been erupted in a queltedd coudi- tiun at different perio Is in the history of the earth.'
" Professor William W. Mather, in his . Report of the First Geolog- ical District of New York,' in 1813, says, " The quantity of bluestone is so great that it cannot be exhausted. It has been traced, exclusive of its sinuosities produerd by valleys intersecting its plane, a distance of one hundred and forty miles it th : first geological district, and it uodoubtedly underlies all the country that is ocenpiel by that portion
of the Catskill and Erio division that overlies this rock.' The results of glacial action are apparent in many bluestone quarries in the vicinity of Saugerties.
" Ou page 86, Central Park Report for 1862, is the following classifi - eation of stone used on the park, as to density and hardness.
" As tu hardness, 1, Granite from the State of Maive ; 2, North River grey wacke; 3, Park gneiss; 4, Westchester County gueiss; 3, West- chester County white marble; fi, New Brunswick freestone; 7, New Jersey freestone.
"Density, 1, Westchester County marble; 2, greywacke; 3, Park gneiss; 4, Maine granite; 5, Westchester County gneiss; 6, Dor- chester freestone; 7, Albert freestone.
" The relative hardness is shown in the order nawied, No. 1 being the hardest. The relative density is also shown in the order named, No. I baving the greatest density.
" The following experiments, made by Gen. Thomas J. Rodman, of the Orduance Service, U.S.A., with grey wucke, show its great strength :

LIMESTONE.
The hills upon the Hudson River, and extending back about two miles, are underlaid with Thestone. At times considerable quicklime has been manufactured in town, and limestone rock is now quarried for shipment.
The manufacture of brick and of white-lead are men- tioned in connection with the villages where the works are located.
XII .- MILITARY.
The military history of Saugerties, as a separate eivil division, does not extend back earlier than the year 1811, when the town was formed. Events relating to the terri- tory now constituting Saugerties, as well as the names of citizen- sharing in military affairs, will be found included in the chapters of the general history relating to the early wars, in the muster-rolls of companies, and in the annals of the town of Kingston, from which Saugerties was formed.

TOWN OF SAUGERTIES.
This party were detailed to scout along the eastern base of the Catskill Mountains to protect the settlers from the attacks of marauding gangs of Tories and Indians who in- listed this locality at times, and who, induced by British rewards for scalps, committed some of the most shocking murders. They only served one month at that time, as shown by the roll, after which they were disbanded. Lieut. Post, while on his way home, being overtaken by darkness at the home of Mr. Wolven (near what is now known as Pine Grove, and at the place in late years of William II. Cunyes), he was invited to stay overnight. After he had retired the house was surrounded by Tories and Indians, who carried him off as a prisoner to the mountains, where they kept him four or five days. Some of the Tories, re- cornizing Mr. Post, procured his release, having, however, stripped him of his uniform. He was probably released euly on his parole of honor not to serve against the British again.
A short distance east of the Plattekill Clove it is said that Capt. Jeremiah Snyder and his son Elias, while en- paged in plowing in 1780, were taken by the Indians and Tories and carried to Canada. When Brant interviewed them and learned from whenee they had come, he said, " That is my old fighting ground."
The expedition under Gen. Vanghan burned Kingston Oct. 16, 1777. At that time Peter P. Post, of Saugerties, grandfather of the present Peter Post, now residing here, was running a sloop between the Strand or Rondout and Lonanburgh, now Athens. When he learned of the de- struction of Kingston, he placed his family on board the słoup and sailed for Albany to escape the expected British attacks upon the settlements north of Kingston. When he reached Albany he learned of Burgoyne's surrender, and immediately returned.
The night after the burning of Kingston a British frigate came up as far as Saugerties and burned a brig that lay at anchor there.
Another frigate sailed up as far as West Camp, but the bews of the surrender of Burgoyne had reached here by that time, and, deeming discretion the better part of valor, the commander ordered a quick return without landing.
The following persons served ju the war of 1812:

James Brink, Henry Wynkoop, Isaac Siyer, Alexander Ingram, Tjerck Burhane, Jacek Martestock, Egbert selv mumaker. Victor lust, Abram Post, Joha AA. My r. Moses Schutt.
These mien were mostly militia, and were called out for shirt perio.ls.
There were several who enlisted for the war at a recruit-
ing-office opened in Saugerties at the house of Myndert Mynderse. A company was obtained from this town and Woodstock. Mr. Peter Post recalls the names of six : William Oosterhoudt, who died in the service; David E. Du Bois, killed in the sortie at Fort Erie ; Alexander Me- Kenzie, who also lost his life in the service; Admiral War- ren, Gunn Watts, James Kortz.
From Woodstock Peter Short enlisted, and two of the Plugh family, father and son, both of whom lost their lives. A man by the name of Sickles was among the Woodstock men. The office in Woodstock was at the house of John Elvyn, and the landlord went out with the company as baggage-master.
Before 1812, as carly probably as 1808, a military com- pany was formed at Saugerties, known as " The Rangers." The officers were J. Clark, captain ; L. Kiersted, lieutenant ; A. Post, ensign ; Peter P. Post, orderly sergeant. This company maintained its organization twenty or thirty years. Previous to the breaking out of the war John Clark moved away. Abram Post went to Seneca, Ontario Co., in 1811. Luke Kiersted also removed to Durham, Greene Co. The command of the company theu devolved upon Peter P. Post as lieutenant commanding.
In the fall of 1813 three military companies were nni- ted, -- one from Marbletown, one from Kingston, and the " Rangers" from Saugerties.
Capt. Elmendorf commanded the new company; and Peter P. Post was first lieutenant. Soon after this the company was ordered to Plattsburg. They were away nearly three months. In the fall of 1814 a draft took place, oue in six of the militia. The mien drafted went to Staten Island for several weeks. The story is told of one of the Sangerties men that. he obtained a furlough for the purpose of visiting his home at Blue Mountains. At the docks in New York be could find no vessels bound to Blue Mountain, though there were several sailing for Sangerties. As he could not obtain a sloop for Blue Mountain he went back to the army, contented to postpone his visit.
The old militia trainings were mostly at Saugerties vil- lage, thoughi occasionally in the western part of the town.
MEXICAN WAR.
Jesse Mildah, John Mayer.
WAR OF 1861-65.
The following list has been prepared from the printed muster-in rolls of the State, and from the manuscript re- ports of the census enumerators of 1865, which were bound and deposited in the county clerk's office, but not printed in respect to the statisties of the soldiers; and names have also been added from the partial record in the town clerk's office. This last has been of but little use as to the inci- dents of service, for it reports only fire as having lost their lives, while the annexed record shows over eighty, and is defective in other respects. In view of these uncertain data the following list will doubtless be found very far from complete, but it includes nearly 1000 names of those who served in the army from or for the town of Saugerties :
