He is buried near his parents in the Moyer family lot in the Part- low cemetery (Union cemetery) west of Grand Ledge, Mich. The lot con- tains a Moyer family gravestone, and back of this are two small markers "James W. 1847-1923" and "Sarah S. 1855-1930." The latter would indicate his wife's name was Sarah Elizabeth, although the writ- er had never heard her called any- thing but ''Lib,' and occasionally 'Elizabeth.'
They had two children, Sherman and Bertie, both of whom died young and a son Clarence. According to Rose Helen Kaufmann, Shermon died of "black scarlet fever" and Bertle of a brain concussion. Their grave- stones are in the Partlow cemetery, beslde their parents. That of Sher- man reads "Our Darling Sherman, son of J. W. and E. Moyer, died May 10, 1880, aged 6 years, 8 months, 10 days. Just as the morning of his life was opening in today, the young and lovely spirit passed from earth and grief away." The inscription for Bertie reads "Bertie, son of J. W. and E. Moyer died Aug. 27, 1881, aged 2 years, 3 months, 29 days. (3 lines of verse undecipherable.)"
Clarence Moyer was a childhood playmate of the writer, around the
) Joslyn and James Moyer farms, the last meeting of the two being at Camp Custer, Mich. in 1918. 25. Annie Moyer. According to Mesdames Joslyn and Kaufmann she was born about July, in 1849, short- ly after Dr. Solomon W. Moyer mov- ed to Michigan, on the Partlow farm a short distance west of the future Joslyn farm. She died In infancy, of "fits," statements of her age ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months. She is buried in the Moyer family lot in the Partlow cemetery, the
grave being unmarked.
26. Horatio Moyer. According to Mesdames Joslyn and Kaufmann he was born on his father's homestead in November, about 1850 to 1852 and died at Schenectady, N. Y. in May or June, 1906. He left Michigan at a fairly early age, and lived with his uncle Peter Moyer, No. 12 of this family, on the Jacob S. Moyer farm near Van Hornesville. He married Delila (or Delilah) Ackler of Herki- mer county and after living with Peter a short time longer, moved a few miles away.
According to Dan Countryman of Van Hornesville, he had often seen Peter and Horatio on the old Jacob S. Moyer farm. He stated that Ho- ratio lived near Peter many years, and after marrying and moving away he ran a butcher shop at Van Hornesville and then worked as a carpenter. According to both Dan Countryman and Rose Helen Kauf- mann he is believed to have lived in Schenectady, and to have died there of pneumonia.
An undated clipping furnished by Maud Cramer Smith reads "The news of the death of Horatio Moyer was received here with regret. He was at one time a resident of this village. The body was brought here for burial in the Springfield ceme- tery on Tuesday."
27. John Henry Moyer. According to his sister Harriet Ann Joslyn, he was born in May, 1853 on his fath- er's farm. He spent his entire life on this farm. He married Martha Humphrey (or Humphreys) Feb. 20, 1 1892 at Roxand, Mich. The present writer remembers his adolescent im- pressions of John Moyer as a med- ium sized, wiry and hard-working man, with long moustaches.
He died Dec. 23, 1926 as shown by a letter from his widow, and by a newspaper clipping, although his gravestone has the year 1927. He is buried at Mulliken, Mich. His wife was living in 1940. His grave- stone has the following inscription, "Martha J. 1870-19, John H. 1853- 1927 Moyer."
John and Martha Moyer had one child, Clarence, born Aungust, 1895. He studied dentistry at the Universi- ty of Michigin. The writer last saw him at his office in Jackson, Mich. in 1940.

THE JACOB S. MOYER FAMILY OF VAN HORNESVILLE, N. Y.
By D. W. Kaufmann 1524 Mason Street Dearborn, Michigan (Cont. from 'last week) 28. Harriet Ann Moyer. She was born March 4, 1854 on her fath- er's farm, two miles west of the farm later owned by her husband and herself, herein called the Jos- lyn farm. She married Lester M. Joslyn June 14, 1876, and died at Ann Arbor, Mich., the evening of April 23, 1931.
After her childhood on her fath- er's farms, and her marriage she "+ lived on the Joslyn farm until her husband's death in 1899. Lester M. Joslyn was of West Winfield, N. Y. He was born March 28, 1826, and died July 16, 1899, on his farm. For many years he operated a cheese factory on the farm, and the present writer remembers the vat, press and the curing room with tis pungent odor. Years afterward, an "old-tim- er" told him the Joslyn cheese was famous for its flavor throughout that part of the state, including Lansing, the Capitol.
The present writer was born on the Joslyn farm in a log house, later replaced by the present frame build- Ing. He barely remembers Lester M. Joslyn as a spare gray-bearded man, and remembers his funeral at the church beside the Partiow cem- etery. The church building was be- ing used for a Township Hali in 1940. After her husband's death in 1899, Harriet Ann (Moyer) Joslyn spent portions of her time on the fram, which was rented out, but lived mostly with her sister, the writer's mother, Rose Helen (Moyer) Kauf- mann, at Flint, Mich. In 1914 she sold the farm and bought a home at 1034 E. Huron street, Ann Arbor, where she died in 1931. The writer's sister, his three brothers and himself aii lived with Mrs. Joslyn, while at- tending the University of Michigin.
The writer's earliest recollections of Harriet Ann Joslyn are of a wo- man with high-held head, albeit she was slight and small of stature. Her early life was at that period when "tight lacing" was the style, and the writer recalis her stating occasion- aily that at one time her waist could be spanned with two hands."! She had a clear soprano voice and in her middie years would sing and play on the organ such songs'as The
Yeilow Rose of Texas, Kingdom Coming, Weep Zephyr Weep, The Old Oid Home Far Away, Little Log Cabin in the Lane, When the Mists Have Rolled Away, Swinging in the Lane and many others.
The writer's early interests In gen- ealogy, and In particular, his inter- est in the Moyer and Joyce families dates back to many talks with Har- riet Ann Joslyn on these two fam- ilies, back in "York State." She was greatly interested in people and personalities, and had a good mem- ory for genealogical material. She visited New York State two or three times after her marriage, including a lengthy stay in 1908-1910 during a lawsuit over the Peter Moyer es- tate ..
Additional details on Lester M. and Harriet Ann Joslyn are in an ar- ticle "The Josiyn Family" which the writer furnished the Enterprise and News issue of September 18, 1940.
Lester M. and Harriet Ann Joslyn are buried in the Partlow cemetery west of Grand Ledge, Mich, The gravestone of the former reads: "Lester M. Josiyn, March 28, 1826, July 26, 1899." The at present un- marked graves of Harriet Ann Jos- lyn and Frederick M. Kaufmann are, successively, beside and to the north of Lester M. There were no chiid- ren from the marriage of Lester M. and Harriet Ann Josiyn.
29. Adoiphus Cramer Moyer. Ac- eording to Harriet Ann Josiyn, he was born on his father's farm Aug. 7, 1856. He died on his own farm near Remus, Mich., June 17, 1940. He first married Alice Cryderman, in the fall of 1875, and second, Mrs. Annie Bonnie.
According to Rose Helen Kauf- mann, Alice Cryderman was from a farm in the vicinity of Mulliken, Mich. After the marriage "Doc" (as he was always cailed) farmed about one-quarter mile east of his wife's former home, on the same road. They, parted when their daughter Millie, their only child, was about two years old. Alice returned to her parents, and afterward mar- ried twice. Her second husband was a Davis, by whom she had a son. After the death of Mr. Davis at his Grand Ledge home, ner third mar- riage was to a farmer, name un- known.

COLONIAL MILITIA TRADES Among the trades mentioned in a recent News article of the Colonial Miiitia was that of a "Saier" but what that trade was lacked defini- tion. The "saier" was a professional weaver of costly silk and metal bro- cades and rare wide-brocaded rib- i bon. A sixteenth century writer tells ' how the king rode to his coronation wearing a "saye" over his right shoulder-a wide brocaded ribbon, richly woven of gold and silk, a cloth of gold leaving his left shoulder bare (Memolrs of Seigneur Brantbrue.)
VAN DER BOGAERT'S JOURNAL 1634-1635
This journal was at first printed as a journal of Arent Van Curlen and so published in the press. But Van Curler did not come to Ameri- ca until 1638, three years after the date of the above journal. The jour- nal was originaliy printed in the In- dependent of 1895-a religious publi- cation. Its next appearance was in the 1895 American Historical Asso- ciation report and attributed to Van Curler (pp. 79-101.) Again, it was published in Jameson's Narrative of New Netherlands, revised and a bi- ographical note about the author. It is to be found also in Nelson Greene's History of the Mohawk Val- ley (Voi. 1.) The date of the journal begins December 11, 1634 and ends Jan. 21, 1635. The manuscript was found by Gen. Jas. Grant Wilson In Amsterdam, Holland in 1895. There were 32 weli preserved foolscap pag- es, written in the Dutch langnage, which had reposed in a Dutch attic for 260 years. The journal was written by Harmon Myndertse Van Den Bogert who was said to be a surgeon at Fort Orange (Albany.) In the journal the writer says that he treated several Indians for ill- ness. The author signs his name, "Harmanus A. Boocharde-Com- mis" to a report dated May 8, 1645. Under date of May 12, 1638 Kiliaen Van Rensselaer refers to one "Her- manus Minardiabogardy" as having illegaily traded under date of July 27, 1637 at Fort Orange (Albany.) W. A. White of New York once own- ed the script who left it to his son. We believe it is now in the N. Y. State Library in Aibany.

VAN DER BOGAERT'S JOURNAL IN CALIFORNIA LIBRARY
The originai of "Van Der Bo- gaert's Journal 1634-1635" is now in the Henry Huntington Library at San Marino, Calif. ,instead of at the New York State Library as was pre- sumed by Rev. W. N. P. Dailey in his article on the journal in the De- cember 2 issue.
Edna L. Jacobsen, in charge of the manuscripts and history section, ' at the New York State Library, is the authority for this statement She wrote the editor this week as follows:
I was interested to read in the is- sue of the Enterprise and News for December 2 the account of "Van Der Bogaert's Journal 1634-1635." The last sentence is: "We believe it is now in the New York State Li- brary in Albany."
I should like to offer the informa- tion at this time that the original of that journal Is now in the Hen- ry Huntington Library at San Ma- rino, California. 'I saw it there in the summer of 1939. When I re- turned from my trip west I told Mr. Van Laer about it, and he was pleas- ed to have the Information because he did not know what had become of it. He then wrote to the Hunt- ington Library, and, by means of a photostat .was able to settle some point about which he had been un- decided these many years.

Remained in New York, all trace of her and hers lost.
Jeremiah Kniffin Evans died May 8, 1858, other records show and this is much more likely as he died of consumption brought on by his ex- posure on the grueling march made to the rescue of survivors of the . Spirit Lake (Iowa) Indian Massa- · cre of some forty settlers on March . 8, 1857 (some killed on March 9th.) .

Sarah Kniffin had a first cousin, Debby Ann (Sutton) Washburn of ! Huron county, and surely this Debby Ann was daughter of the Henry .Sutton and Deborah Kniffin" mar- .ried 21 Dec. - 1786 at Salem, West- chester county, N. Y. and this Deb- ·orah Kniffen Sutten a sister of Sar- ah's father.
John Evans had a brother, the Rev. Robert Evans, Baptist minister at New London, Ohio. The rest of his brothers and sisters remained .in New York and it is known that some of the family removed to Ken- tucky.
Federal census of Orange county .(1800) shows but four Kniffens (Kniffins with female children ten or under.) These were Jeremiah, Gil- bert, Daniel and John. Only two Evans with male children ten pr un- der, Daniel and Henry. A Gilbert Kniffin lived at Pleasant Valley in 1790.
Robert Stevens was born Nov. 14, 1783 in New York it is my belief. The name of his first wife is not known. She died in New York and he married 2nd Phebe who died Ju- ly 10, 1850 in Huron county, Ohio. The 3rd wife, Hannah Carr sur- vived him. He died June 2, 1871 in New London, Ohio.

THE JACOB S. MOYER FAMILY OF VAN HORNESVILLE, N. Y.
By D. W. Kaufmann 1524 Mason Street Dearborn, Michigan (Cont. from last week)
After parting from Alice Cryder- man, "Doc" moved north, to a farm between Barryton and Remus, Mich., near which he iater acquired a sec- ond farm. His second marriage was to Mrs. Annie Bonnie, whose family was of or near Remus, Mich. She had two sons and a daughter Mabel by her first marriage. Circa 1938 Mabel was married and had two sons but no further data are known.
The daughter Millie, by "Doc's" first marriage to Alice Cryderman, was understood by Mrs. Kaufmann to have married a Dilley ( ?) and to have. had five or six daughters, all living near either Muliiken or Char- lotte, Mich. She is believed to have died circa 1935-1940.
Doc's adopted son Benjamin lived with him for twelve years on the farm where Doc died, and in 1940 was In Jackson, Mich. Doc's step- daughter Mabel married a Dedaire ( ?) and lives on a farm east of
Grand Rapids, Mich.
30. Mary Elizabeth Moyer. Accord- 'ing to her sisters Harriet Ann and Rose Helen, she was born April 7, 1860 on her father's farm, and died in . December, 1885.
She married Kit McCormick in De- cember, about 1883, at Grand Ledge, Mich. Kit McCormick was from a farm about five or six miles south- east of Charlotte, Mich., and was be- lieved to have had four brothers, al- though Rose Helen remembered only the names Clyde and "Fatty." There were also believed to be three sis- ters, Lois, who married Bradford Kellogg, Effie who married a Fox, and one other.
There was one child from this mar- riage, Mary Elizabeth, born about 1884 who was raised by Kit McCor- mick's sister, Mrs. Lois Kellogg, of Charlotte, Mich. Mary Elizabeth moved to New York City when about 18 or 20 and is believed to have married about 1912 and to have been living in Brooklyn in 1919.
31. Rose Helen Moyer. The pres- ent writer's mother was born Sept. 10, 1863, In the log cabin erected by her father on his newly cleared farm. She was made both deaf and mute at a very early age by scarlet fever. She started attendance at the Michigan School for the Deaf at Flint, Mich. in September, 1875, aged just 12. It was here that she met her future husband, Fred M. Kauf- mann. They both graduated in June, 1885.
She marrled Frederick Marx
Kaufmann at her father's home on January 2, 1890. He was born May 22, 1861 in Negaunce, Mich., died Dec. 28, 1934 at 1034 E. Hu- ron street, Ann Arbor, Mich. His parents were Mayer Kaufmann, 1839-1902, and Margaret Kreutzer, 1841-1914.
Fred M. Kaufmann attended Gal- laudet College, Washington, D. C. and then returned to the Michigan School for the Deaf, at Flint where he was head supervisor and teacher from 1892 to 1931, when he re- signed due to age, and moved to Ann Arbor, Mich.
He was active and prominent in both State and National affairs of the deaf, throughout his life. He was president of the Michigan Assocla- tion of the Deaf In 1893 and treas-
-
urer of that organization for great many years.
He was one of the kindest, most generous and most universally Ilk- ed and respected of men. The writ- er at this late date looks back upon his own father with something akin to amazement that such a quiet and patient personality, handicapped as a deaf mute from his earliest years, compelled to work in a cigar factory at the age of ten, should have been able to attend college, and In spite of notoriously poor pay of a teacher, to have encouraged and aided all five of his children to the extent that all five graduated from the Univer- sity of Michigan In due course.
He Is buried in the Partlow ceme- tery west of Grand Ledge, Mich., on the same lot as Lester M. and Har- riet Ann Joslyn.
Rose Helen Kaufmann Is today the last living of the children of Dr. Solomon W. Moyer and resldes at 1034 E. Huron street, Ann Arbor, Mich. The children of Rose Helen and Fred M. Kaufmann are :.

THE END
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1943
YOUNG (JUNG)
They first located at "The Camps" on the Hudson, and Johann Mattheus remained there. Hendrick and Theo- bald (Davld) went to Schoharie in about 1722. Johann Eberhard went southward from the "Camps," but some of the children of Johann Mat- theus settled in Schoharie county in about 1760 and descendants of that line are easily traceable from there to this date. The only descendants of Hendrick Jung's family, existing today and bearing the name Young, thus far brought to light, are the I two brothers formerly of Fort Plain, viz. Samuel L. of Washington, D. C. and Clifford M. Young of Albany. Relatives of this line by marriage, such as Seeber, Timmerman, Hawn and Charlesworth, have been con- tacted.
Hendrick Jung married Anna Margaretha, and had children of re- cord as follows:
Jacob born in 1710.
Maria Catharine born in 1711.
Peter (birth date not found.)
Anna Margaretha born in 1716. John Hendrick born in 1716
( twins. )
The children were probably all born in the Hudson and Schoharie valleys and the family moved to the Mohawks country and settled near what became Fort Plain and Nellis- ton. Land deeds rcorded show that Hendrick purchased 703 acres of land of Col. Philip Schuyler in 1730 and sold it to Stephanis Groesbeck of Albany In 1732. Theobald Young and Rutgar Bleecker witnessed the signature of Hendrick. The land was situated between Nelliston and Pal- atine Bridge. It is probably that Hendrick and Theobald were broth- ers as they seem to be the only ones of the 1710 Immigration named Jung who went to Schoharie; were nat- uralized In Albany in 1715 and then with their families moved to Cana- joharie town. Theobald and his sons secured the Theobald Young Patent in 1752 In what became Her- kimer county. The five children of Hendrick Young, mentioned In the foregoing, are accounted for as fol- lows:
Jacob married Dorothy (probably Reichert-Rickard) and they had Ja- cob, Jr., Peter, Hendrick, Margaret and Catharine. The older Jacob pur- chased several lots in the Bleecker Patent in what became Fort Plain and Freysbush.
