RIFLEMEN.
Timothy Murphey,
Murphey was an Irishman, " by occupation," and naturally fond of adventure. A man of quick perceptions and a fearless nature. His boldness and skill in warfare against Indians and Tories soon made him a special object for their vengeance, but in his encounters with them he generally balanced accounts to his credit. If Murphey pos- sessed the unlimited courage attributed to him by traditional ro- mances, they evidently err in making him the perpetrator of some of the brutal and inhuman acts which are related so faithfully after the dime novel pattern of literature. Courage in the face of danger is never found in a brutal or revengeful nature. That he met cun- ning with strategy, when his own life or interests were at stake, goes without saying, but that he indulged in bloody acts without pressing occasions, we must either deny, or abandon the claim that Tim Murphey was a hero. Timothy Murphey was fond of adventure to the extent that he would incur any risk to gratify the spirit. He looked out for " number one " on all occasions, and his policy carried him through, and under his leadership, the men who trusted him. To his mind, the possession of Margaret Feek and, later on, her father's broad acres appeared very desirable, and to a man of his nature the accomplishment followed a determination. Margaret gave him the key to the city without protest, and time and a little

more strategy brought the surrender of the whole garrison. The exact date of Murphey's coming to Schoharie is not evident. I conclude from histories, that he came with Captain Long's detach- ment of Morgan's Rifle Corps during the late summer or fall of 1778, and that, with the exception of his term of service in the Sullivan campaign, he served with the Schoharie County Militia from the fall of 1778 until the close of the war. He was enrolled in the Fifteenth Regiment and in Captain Hager's company, but evi- dently served under a "roving commission," as we find him at the head of several expeditions sent out to arrest prominent Tories and break up their rendezvous with their Indian allies. Ile contracted a runaway marriage at Schenectady on October 1, 1780, and on his return to the Middle Fort his wedding was celebrated by a great jubilee and " High Jinks." A day or two after his celebration he accompanied a sconting expedition to the Susquehanna, then to Cairo, and thence back to Schoharie, after an absence of thirteen days, and the day previous to the invasion by Johnson. On that day he performed good service on the skirmish line before Jolinson invested the fort, and afterward fired on the flag of truce sent by Johnson, in defiance of the orders of Major Woolsey. He accom- panied the party in pursuit of Brandt and Chrysler after the in- vasion of Vroman's land in November, 1781. After the close of the war a reconciliation was effeeted between his father-in-law and him- self, when he adopted a farmer's life and pursuits. His wife, Margaret, died September 1, 1807. Murphey remarried. Died June 27, 1818. Grandchildren, William, Eliza Best, Catharine M. Banks. Great-grandchild, Marion M. Swart.
David Ellerson
came to Schoharie in 1778, and belonged to Captain Long's detach- ment of Morgan's Rifle Corps. He was an inseparable companion of Murphey in his scouting expeditions, and is on record as equally skillful as a marksman. He was a Virginian by birth and had been wounded in the shoulder by a bullet during Indian troubles in his native State. He accompanied Murphey on his mission to arrest Service in the Charlotte Valley. He did effective service as a skirmisher at the time Johnson attacked the Middle Fort. Soon after coming to Schoharie he laid siege to the "hertz" of one of her daughters and captured the garrison. After the war he settled in the southern part of the county. Died in "1838 or 1839," at a very advanced age.

WAR OF THE REVOLUTION.
Philip Hover,
a member of Captain Long's detachment of riflemen, acquired great popularity through his skill as marksman and scout. He was certainly not less skilled in warfare against the common enemy than his comrades Murphey and Ellerson, as we find him possessed of a wife, who was captured during the invasion of Brandt, August 8, 1780, but released on the day following. On that day he was one of the scouts sent out to West Fulton to reconnoiter, but through the unfortunate zeal of his comrade Leek, was unable to reach the Upper Fort by a direct route and until the enemy had captured or massaered the inhabitants. Aside from services as a scont, he was engaged in the operations without and within the Middle Fort during the invasion of Johnson. He remained a resi- dent of the county for a time unknown after the war.
John Wilbur - Williber
was a resident of Pennsylvania and a carpenter by occupation. He is especially mentioned as a brave soldier and as maintaining the rank by marrying a Sehoharie girl -"Miss Mattice." At the time Johnson appeared near the Middle Fort he shot a disguised Tory who was attempting to steal a horse. After the war he settled in the Charlotte Valley.
Richard Haggadorn, Sergeant,
was a member of the detachment of riflemen, and served with his comrades until mortally wounded in the engagement at Panther Mountain in November, 1781. He was rescued from the enemy and taken to the Upper Fort, where he died on the day after. It was on the occasion of his rescue that Murphey remarked, " every bullet was not moulded to hit."
William Leek
became noted through his rashness, in firing at a tempting mark, while sconting in the vicinity of West Fulton. He had been sent out with two others to reconnoiter for the enemy, with orders to return to the fort withont exciting the attention of the enemy, if he was found to be in the neighborhood. While he was in hiding near the stream, a surgeon of Brandt's party, disguised as an Indian, ap- proached for the purpose of obtaining water-when Leek, forgetting orders and prudence, shot the Englishman, and by the report of his

gun brought the whole camp of savages on his trail. In the race for his own safety, he was unable to give warning to the Upper Fort before its inhabitants were surprised and captured. During the war or near its close, he married the wife of a man who had gone to Canada at the beginning of the war, and who was supposed to be dead, as nothing had been heard from him since his departure. After peace became established, the exile returned to find himself " ontside the breast-works," while William, the scout, held the fort. Leek, with his wife, removed to Cayuga county soon afterward, where he died .- Tradition.
Conradt Winnie
was one of the scouts sent on the reconnoisance to West Fulton. He barely escaped capture by taking a "roundabout " route to the valley, and finding the enemy in possession of the ground. His survivors cannot be definitely traced.
Felix Hoever
belonged to Long's detachment of Morgan's Rifles, and served as scout and ranger.
Joseph Evans
was a member of the Rifle Corps, and served in the valley, as a resi- dent, and settled in the southern part of the county after the war. He married the daughter of Teunis Eekerson.
Christopher France
lived in the western part of the county, known as "Turlach." He served as seout and messenger between his neighborhood and the Lower and Middle Forts, and was with the defenders of the Lower Fort at the time Johnson plundered the valley and the day previous to the murder of his fiancee, Catharine Marclay.
Sebastian France
did partisan service as seout and courier. Grandsons, Abram, Gilbert, Sebastian and William.
Zachariah Tufts
was enrolled in Bogart's company of Harper's regiment, from May to November, 1780. Previous to and subsequent to that enrollment he served under both Richtmyer and Hager as ranger.

James Turner.
Jesse Gilbert
resided in Dutchess county previous to the beginning of the Revolu- tion and became enrolled for Militia service in the Third Regiment under Captain Broadhead late in the year 1775. After expiration of term we find him again enrolled in Colonel John Hathorn's regiment, and called out "on aların at Minisink" in July, 1777. On the organization of the regiment "for the immediate defense of the State" under Lieutenant-Colonel Albert Pawling, we find him en- rolled in that organization under Captain Gilbert I. Livingston, April 27, 1781. Soon after this enrollment he came to Schoharie county with a detachment and remained through the war. He soon became a favorite of Murphey and accompanied him in his expeditions, accepting and answering to the name of "Joot," bestowed by the bold Irishman. He participated in the action at Jefferson Lake ; also escaped with Murphey by breaking through the line of Indians when they found themselves unexpectedly surrounded. He re- ceived a bayonet wound in the side and directly under the right arm during a charge in the engagement with the Indians and Tories under Butler. After the end of the war he married and became a farmer in the town of Harpersfield and later removed to a farm near the present village of Stamford, and added the occupation of miller to that of farmer. He afterward removed to and occupied a farm at the base of what is now called " Mount Utsyantho," where he died in the year 1838. Lies buried in the old burying ground in the westerly part of Stamford. He was the father of three sons and five daughters. Representative descendants living: Grandchildren, Francis R., Ebenezer, Jr., Betsey Churchill, Mrs. David Kennedy. Great-grandchildren, F. Newell, Jesse B., Minnie E., Frank B., Samuel, Eliza H., Henry, William Kimball.
PRISON REPORT OF THE REVOLUTION.
The taking of prisoners has been legitimate warfare in all ages, but their treatment after being deprived of the power to harm, has not always been so considered by those who fought for justice and humanity and were so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of an unscrupulous foe. When the English King or his
64
SCHOHARIE COUNTY VETERANS.
agents employed savages to subdue the Colonists and fixed the market price of the scalp of a " Rebel," his wife or child, the same when delivered at head-quarters as for their living bodies, there was no restraint placed upon murder, and if the captive survived the journey to Canada he owed his life as much to the mercy of the In- dian as to the pity of the white man who would have paid as much for his scalp as his life. The policy of the British leaders in their system of rewards was both subtle and barbarous. It laid the onus of all unprovoked murders upon the shoulders of the Indian, while it stimulated him to commit them, and at the same time gave him license to be revenged on those who had incurred his displeasure be- fore the war. The common price paid for a prisoner or the scalp of a " Rebel " was $S, although in special cases where the capture of a person of prominence was sought, the reward offered was much larger. After all the cruelty of the savage has been estimated, I think he excelled his white employer in two comparisons. During the long and terrible journeys to Canada the prisoner shared equally with the captor in the distribution of food, and in many cases the Indian remembered a kindness shown him in former days by his captive. The Patriots could reasonably divide their common enemy into three classes, so far as degrees of humanity might govern their acts, and the Indian would take first rank. The regular army of the King and his representatives would follow next, while the Tory, the neighbor and fellow-countryman of the Patriot would win the championship for out-Heroding them all in barbarity. Nearly, if not all, of the prisoners captured in the Schoharie, were taken by way of what is now Richmondville and Summit, West Fulton and Summit, and Blenheim and Jefferson. These routes converged in the valley of the Charlotte and continued to the Susquehanna. Another route taken by the prisoners captured at Harpersfield ex- tended down the head waters of the Delaware and thence across the mountains to the Susquehanna. These journeys were all made down the Susquehanna as " far as the month of the Chemung river " and thence in a north-westerly direction through the State to the " Genesee county " and to the British post at Niagara. If the prisoner escaped the gauntlet of knives, clubs, fists, whips and stones, at the Indian vil- lages, he was taken to the British post and paid for. After delivery to the officers the prisoners were disposed of in various ways. Some were rented out as laborers and servants to persons residing in the vicinity, or required to do menial service for the government, while others were kept in close confinement and subjected to severe treatment.
65
WAR OF THE REVOLUTION.
We read of some who remained in Canada after the war, and of a few men who adopted the Indian life and customs. A few were comparatively well treated. Nearly all prisoners were held until the close of the war if not ransomed, and a few who were held as ser- vants or slaves did not return until some time afterward. A large number of the prisoners taken from Schoharie were non-combatants and not belonging to the military or enrolled for service. A few old men, many women, boys and girls, made the terrible journey of between two and three hundred miles under the goad of their cap- tors, with the shrieks of their murdered wife, brother, sister, mother or neighbor, still ringing in their ears, and with no hope of life before them. The number who made the journey must be sought out from narative, history, tradition, and the archives of the Revolution - sources which do not give a complete total.
