These people appear as if by a group from some point in the East- ern State. No one locally can give me any information.
I am especially interested in the two Calkins names that appear, J. B. and Daniel. Where did they come from and who were their parents ? The case of Maranda Martin is es-
pecialiy interesting. She lived to a good old age and is buried beside J. B. Calkins. Evidently one of the last burials in this cemetery. The grave is marked with a small white head- stone, similar to those now used by American Legion for soldiers' graves. In 1876 Marada Martin Calkins sent to the centennial exposition in Philadelphia a watch, presumed to have been at one time the property of Major Androe. Later newspaper accounts seem to show that this watch was purchased by a represen- tative of the Washington Memorial, Newburg, N. Y. and that this watch was placed on exhibition there. ] have not verefied this later newspa- per report.

Lt. Petrus Groot Counted Killed But Only Wounded
By Donald A. Keefer
R. D. 2 Sacandaga Road Schenectady, N. Y.
Those who are acquainted with the Revolutionary War history of the Mohawk Valley are familiar with the battle fought at Oriskany Octo- ber 6, 1777. Josaph Brant, the fam- ous Mohawk chief, came from Can- ada in the spring of 1777 and in June of that year he was at the head of a band of marauders. Brigadier-gen- eral Nicholas Herkimer was then at the head of the Tryon county militia and had been instructed by General Schuyler to watch the movements of Brant. Hearing of the siege of Fort Schuyler by Colonel St. Leger, Her- kimer gathered a number of Tryon county militia, as well as men from the neighborhood and marched
to the relief of the garrison. He and his little band were a few miles west of present Utlca, at Orlskany, when they were ambushed by Tories and Indians. General Herkimer, though wounded, led the battle to a success- ful climax .
: Most of the original families of our Mohawk Valley had members who fought at the battle of Oris- kany. The Groot family, that set- tled at Schenectady in 1663, was re- presented there by Lieutenant Pe- trus Groot of Amsterdam, who was wounded on the battlefield. What makes him so outstanding a member of Herkimer's army is the fact that " he was thought to have been kilid, but in reality he was wounded and captured by Canadian Indians. A tomahawk wound on his head caused him to lose his memory and after being released by his captors he wandered for over 39 years In Can- ada and the upper New York region, never knowing his own Identity or from where. he came.
An Interesting reference is made to Lieutenant Petrus Groot in Jona- than Pearson's, "Contributions for of the First Settlers of the Patent and City of Schenectady, from 1662- 1800," published in 1873, where he gives an advertisement published in the Albany Gazette by Judge John Sanders in the year 1807, 30 years after Orlskany. "On Thursday, the 4th instant, about four miles from the city of Schenectady, aside the Mohawk Turnpike, sitting under a tree, I discovered Petrus Groot, who was supposed to have been siain in th Oriskany battle under General Herkimer on the 6th of August in the year 1777. I immediately recog- nized him, and on conversation with him, he confessed himself to be the : person I took him to be. I then car- ried him to the nearest tavern, where I left him to be sent to his children and brothers, from whence, however, he departed before day the next morning, and was seen in Albany on Friday. His mntal faculties are much impaired, supposed to have
been occasioned by a wound of a tomahawk near the fore part of his head, although he is at most times tolerably rational. His head is bald, the circle or scar of the scalping knife is plainly to be seen on it, and a stab on the side of his neck near his shoulder, has a small scar near his ankle, as a middle aged man, has blue eyes, a long countenance and stoops much in the shoulders. He speaks English, French, Dutch and Indian and says he has been last a prisoner among the Indians north of Quebec; had an old dark gray coat
and old brownish pantaloons; has a large pack with him. He refused to go home, as one of his former neigh- bors, whom he saw, would not recognize him. He was fearful his children brothers would not. He said he would go to the governor's. Being at times deranged, it is feared he will', stray too far for his friends to find him. He is of a very respectable family and connections
Any person who will take him up 'and bring him to the subscriber, af Schenectady, shall be well compen sated for his care and trouble, an will receive the sincere thanks of hi children and relatives, and be th means of relieving this poor unfor tunate man from distress by restor ing him to his family and friends." John Sanders. Schenectady, June 8, 1807.
N. B .- The printers in this and the neighboring states are requested to give the above a few insertions in their respective papers, to aid in restoring a poor sufferer to his child- ren and friends, who has been 30. years a prisoner among the Indians. He is now 63 years of age. He was a lieutenant in the militia at the time he was' supposed to have been 'slain."
An interesting sidelight is the genealogy of Petrus Groot. His great grandfather was Symon Symonse Groot, the original settler In the New Netherlands. His grandfather was drowned attempting to settle at present Cranesville in 1716. Philip's sons built the famous old Groot mill there, one of them being Lewis who was the father of Petrus. Petrus married Neeltje the daughter of Philip Groot. Their children were. Annatje baptized October 17, 1773, who married Benjamin Van Olinda,' and Philippus baptized July 29, 1776.
CLARK
Sarah Ann Clark, daughter of Sylvanus Clark and Abigail (or Re- becca) Warner Clark, born July 9, 1844, in Holland Patent, N. Y. Her parents were of thrifty New England stock, deeply religious, Sylvanus Clark being a Baptist deacon for 50 years. The family moved to Michi- gan in 1850. Sylvanus Clark was the youngest of a family of 13 child- ren. Would like data of his parents and those of his wife. It is supposed that he was born in New York state. His wife was born July 4, 1813, in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Sarah Ann Clark attended Kala- -
mazoo College, Michigan, and taught school for a number of years. October 6, 1867, she was married to George Ferris McRay in Crangeville, Michigan and they lived on a farm near Kalamazoo until 1875 when the family moved to Can- on City, Colorado where they settled permanently.
Sarah Ann Clark was the oldest of four children. Can anyone give infor- mation regarding the other three children ?

Who were the parents of Lucin- da Webster who married In what Is now Washington county, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1791, Jethro Bonney who was born in Litchfield county, Pa. March 15, 1771 ?
Would like to hear from some one having data of this family. Mrs. Hazel Lloyd, Lobby Cotton Exchange Bldg. Oklahoma City, Okla.
VROOMAN
I want the ancestry of Annle Vrooman, born 1784, died August 14, 1857 age 73 (G. S.), Potterville, Mich., married about 1800 Ellsha Merrill (Elisha 5, Jacob 3, John 2, Nathanlel 1) born 1772, probably in Canaan, Conn., died Sept. 21, 1850, age 78, Potterville, Mich. John Mer- rill, son of Elisha and Annie Merrill was born in 1801, Schoharie county, N. Y. The family resdied for some years in Laurens, Otsego county, N. Y.
In the Abstracts of Wills of Scho- harie county, N. Y., prepared by Ger- trude Barber, I find that "Elsah Marrils", Cornelius and Peter I. Vrooman were witnesses Dec. 31, 1800 to the will of Nicholas Facke, yeoman, of Middleburgh, Schoharie county, N. Y. Bartholomew S. Vroo- man and Jacob Feck were appointed executors. Names mentioned in the will as follows: wife, Elnor Feck. Sons: Jacob and Nicholas. Daughter,
Nancy Feek. The will was proved 912 Hilldale Drive,
June 21, 1803.
- The following data was recently sent to me by a grandson of John Merril born 1801. She made notes of her mother's recollections of the family, the mother being over 80 years of age at that time:
Annle Hoover, 1783, married 1 -- Haggaden, drowned at sea; 2, -Vrooman. Peter Vrooman's name mentioned; 3 Elisha Merrill Aug. 26, 1860. The name of John Hoover, mentioned also.
Annie (Vrooman) Merrill, accord- ing to tradition, was mother of child- ren before she married Elisha Mer- rill. The wife of Elisha Merrill, Sr., was mother of three children, by her fromer marriage to Jonathan Fel- lows, of Canaan, Conn. who died in 1758.
The death of Peter I. Vrooman May 26, 1801, at Schoharie was pub- llshed in an Otsego county, N. Y.
newspaper.
MERRILL

KELMER What additional information is
I available about Hendrick Kelmer, who was a member of the 2nd Bat- talion (Palatine) of the Tryon Co. Militia, under Colonel Jacob Klock in the Revolution ? He is prob-
Thomas (son of Henrich and Rosi- na Keller,) baptized May 1, 1765. Sponsors, Thomas and Sybilla Mis- ig.
The foregoing record is doubtless incomplete as Henry and Rosina presumably were parents of my Phil- ip Kilmer who, according to Kilmer Book, was born in the Mohawk Val- ley and had brothers Thomas and Henry. The book did not complete Philip's ancestry but said his fath- er's name was Henry. My Philip had a daughter Rosina.
Are the baptismal records of the 45 Covell avenue,.
Palatine District of Tryon county for the period of about 1770 to be found in genealogical libraries ?
Contemporaneous with Henry
Kilmer of Tryon county, was Henry Killmore of the Claverack district of Columbia county, N. Y., a member of the 8th Albany County Regiment, under Colonel Robert Van Rensse- laer, in the Revolution. According to the Griffin Mss. on Kilmer, at the New York Genealogical- and Bio- graphical Society library, Hendrich Kilmer was listed as a private in 1767, of "the militia company form- ing subsequently part of the so-call- ed Claverack Battalion." This Henry is possibly the one given in 1790 census of Hillsdale township, Colum- bia county.
Would like to correspond with any- one interested in the Kilmer family, and would especially like to have Oklahoma City, Okla.

The Life and Descendants of John Dawson of Glenville
By Donald A. Keefer RD 2, Sacandaga Road Schenectady ,N .Y.
One of the first settlers in the region known as the town of Glen- ville in Schenectady county was John Dawson. He was born in Lan- caster, England Sept. 12, 1780 and dier in Glenville in the year 1848. He He was an enterprising man in the early industries of Glenville. bullt a saw mill on the Crabb Kill, near the point where it leaves Glen- ville and enters the town of Charl- ton In Saratoga county.
A story is told of how John Daw- son and a Mr. Marvin, the owner of a nearby gristmill in Charlton, procured and installed flutter wheels in their mills in place of the breast water wheels that were then in use. ' Shortly thereafter they learned that the wheels they had installed were under an inventor's He patent and they were either to pay what seemed to them exorbitant royalty or remove the wheels. Mar- vin refused to pay the sum demand- ed and removed the wheel from his
mill. Dawson, not wanting to part with his and probably wanting to keep it for use some time in the fu- ture, secretly removed and bur- ied liis flutter wheel. It is believed that this wheel now lies buried near the site of the old mill.
Dawson abandoned this saw mill
and constructed a new one about a half mile to the east in the town of Charlton. This new mill utilized the flow of the Crabb Kill and the Al- plaus and Conde creeks. When John Dawson acquired the land on which he built his saw mill and house he found two Indian basket makers al- ready there, Indian John and his wife Deel. They lived in a small hut near the stream and near the spot Daw- son chose for his saw mill. It was not uncommon for the presence of Indian squatters in Glenville at that time. Nearly every wooded ravine sheltered a',, mily of Indian basket makers. Dawson allowed Indian John and Deel to stay and they are both buried in the cemetery of the Dutch Reformed Church at Glenville.
John Dawson married Jemima Groot, daughter of Simon C. Groot, on July 17, 1808. Jemima was born December 2, 1787 and died April 18, 1822. Their children were:
Willlam born May 28, 1809. Simon born Feb. 18, 1811. John born March 20, 1813. Isaac Groot born July 13, 1815. Jane Ann born June 16, 1817. Cornelius born Oct. 31, 1819. Peter born April 11, 1822. Peter died July 23, 1822. Simen died Nov. 4, 1830. Jane Ann died Nov. 16, 1830. Isaac Groot died Sept. 12, 1840. Cornellus died Sept. 7, 1841. William died Nov. 2, 1855. John died April 20, 1888.
John Dawson (1813-1888,) son of
John and Jemima Groot Dawson married Samantha Peek February 25, 1835. Their children were: Simon, Charlotte, Cornelius, George H., Isaac H., Jane McLaughlan, Mary Jane, Charles Greenfield and Estella Dawson. Charles Greenfield Dawson married Ann Milroy and a daughter Sarah Louise born August 15, 1811, married Abram Cornelius Groot May 14, 1902.
William Dawson (1809-1855), son of John and Jemima Groot Dawson married Marie Crane of Cranesville. William operated a saw mill at Cranesville on the Eva's Kill, just above the old Mohawk Turnpike. To William Dawson and Marie Crane were born Jane Ann, Smith Crane, John Anderson, Isaac Groot and Wil- liam Rosell Rawson.
Jane Ann Dawson (1817-1830,) daughter of the first settler John Dawson, married William Van Eps. They had three children, Edward Van Eps, Grace Dawson and David Mathias Van Eps.
