The Connecticut troops had marched from Stonington to Petty- squamscot. Here they expected shel- ter, but the Indians had burned the marched back to their headquarters. The night was cold and stormy. 1t buildings and killed the inhabitants was midnight before they got in. only a day or two before. This was on the 17th December. The weather was cold and stormy. The next day they marched; and formed a juncture with the Massachusetts and Ply-
mouth forces. Here again they were obliged to spend the night un- covered in the open field. The next morning at break of day, the army marched towards the Narragansett fort, which was in a deep tangied swamp, fifteen miles distant. The snow was deep, and the weather ex- tremely cold. At one o'clock they reached the enemy's fort. It was on rising ground, in the midst of the swamp, surrounded with palisades, and outside of these, with a hedge of .bush a rod thick. The only entrance which appeared practicable was over a log which lay five or six feet from
defended in front by a fortress of logs, "and on the left by a flanker." The Massachusetts troops who were in front, mounted the log and rushed on. A few entered the fort. The fire from the loghoue and flanker was so hot that a sufficient number could not force their way through to support them, and those who had en- ered were cut down. The deep snow and the tangled thicket, rendered it
impossible for the whole body of
troops to come up at once and it was a considerable time before all could be brought into action.

A long, bloody and dubious conflict ensued; but the enemy were at length over- come and what were not killed in the battle fled to the swamp. Three hun- dred Indian warriors perished on the spot, many were wounded and per- ished from their wounds and from the cold. Nearly the same number were taken prisoners. It was a dreadful day.
The victory was dearly bought. Six captains fell in action, and eighty
wounded, who afterward recovered. - After burning the fort, and all that it contained, the little army, just at the setting of the sun, carrying about two hundred dead and wounded,
None could have their wounds dress- ed till they reached their headquar- ters. Many died, who might other- wise have recovered. Many perished with cold and fatigue.

person as Jonathan Stevenson did exist, also that he evidently died leav- ing his property to his wife, who married John Bouton, the first, as his third wife, and who is noted as hav- ing considerable estate. (See John Bouton's will.)

THE ALBANY STAATS FAMILY-
The oldest branch of the Staats. . . family in America is to be found in. Albany. Its founder, Abram Staes- (the Flemish spelling) came to this country somewhere around 1625 .. There is an uncertainty as to date. At Stockport, N. Y. there is still' standing an old Staats house, said-to. have been built by Major Abram. Staats in 1639. The family was in. Albany by 1642 since the record ex- tant shows him to have been in the Council there in 1643, and in 1644 ite President at a salary of $40,000 per, annum.
There has been considerable write. ten on this family, notably by Cuy- ler Reynolds of Albany, and other. writers are Jas A. Roberts, E. B. O'Callaghan, Wm. R. Cutter, Daniel! Denton, William Dunlap and Mrs. George J. Newgarden, the last named: having prepared a chart showing the descent of the Albany Staats and. Schuyler families and their connec-+ tions. Again, one may find a great deal of genealogical material in Mun- sell's "Annals of Albany (v 1) and, in the "N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record" (v. 1 and 2.) An excellent'account of the Staats family in Albany, begin -. ning with Jochim Staats, who mar- ried Elisabeth, the daughter of Nich -. olas Schuyler (son of Philip Schuy-) ler) is to be found in "Colonial New York" (v. 2.) published in 1885 by Scribners. And another volume, :. "Historic New York" has a good deal. of Staats data (published by Put -- naman's)
Major Abbram Staats, the founder- of the family in this country, was a: "Chirurgeon" (surgeon)) at Albany: His wife was Tryntie Jochemse Wes- sels, daughter of Joachim Wessels. A. son, Joachim (born 1654-died 1712), married Annatie Barent Rynderse. A. son of this marriage, Barent born 1680, died 1752, married Neeltie Ger- rittsen Van Der Borg. Of a family of ten children, one, Joachim born 1717, died 1804, married Elisabeth Schuyler born 1715, died 1795, daugh- ter of Nicholas Schuyler, son of Phil- ip Schuyler. A son of Nicholas and Elisabeth Schuyler, Nicholas Staats, . married Mary Saulsbury on Oct. 24, 1769. In 1835 she is referred to as "almost 92 years old." They had one daughter Elisabeth who married John I. Miller (Muldor.) These are but leading genealogical data in a long line of ancestrage names.

CALKINS
From records handed to me I un- derstand the following:
The History of Putnam County, New York by Pelletreaux, page 684, mentions an old lease by Dennis Wright Dec. 30, 1769 of lands in the northern part of the present town of Patterson, just west of the "Ob- long," strip in which a David Cal- kins is mentioned as adjoiner. In the tax list for 1777 he no longer appear- ed in that district.
On August 8, 1772 a David Calkins of Dutchess county, N. Y. received a deed to some land on Tockonack Mountain, Berkshire County, Mass, Pittsfield deed 9-896 on Sept. 17, 1772. He in turn conveyed this land as David Calkins of the northeast precinct of Dutchess county, Pitts- fleld deed 10-395, married 1775 a David Calkins, one of the residents of Northeast signed the pledge of patriots, see History of Dutchess county, page 666.
On May 7, 1784 one David Calkins and Joseph Vicary made a mortgage to John Duncan of Hermitage for 228 pounds 10 s. secured by "all the cer- tain farm lying and being in Cur- ry's Bush or Brook in a 500 acre tract, known on a general map of said tract as lot No. 2, 104 acres." Albany mortgage 5-132.
No deed to David Calkins appears and the actual location of the tract is uncertain except that it must have been within the bounds of Albany county as fixed at that date.
One of my great grandparents was a Thomas Duncan or Dunkin who emigrated from Dutchess coun- ty to. Chenango county, N. Y. Anoth- er great grandfather David Calkins also came to Chenango county, quite possibly from near or from Dutchess county.
I am therefore quite interested on further information as quoted from the county historles and public re- cords and especially on the paren- tages and descendants of the two great grandparents mentioned above.

MICKEL
Andrew Mickel born probably in Rensselaer county removed to Lewis county a few years before 1841. He traded his property in what I believe was Rensselaer county to a nephew- in-law, for some land along the Black river near the town of Greig. Here he died August 2, 1841 at the age of 60 years and 9 months. (This record is taken from the family Bi- ble now in the possession of Clif- ford Allen, Lyons Falls, N. Y. He is buried in Turin cemetery, Turin, N. Y.) He married Cynthia Mead or Meade. Cynthia remarried after An- drew's death a Mr. Stalker and is buried in Mecklenburg, N. Y. They had 16 children, four died in infancy and the remaining 12 were named: Nicholas, William, Enos, David, George and Chester. The daughter being Phebe (Filkins), Emeline (Kentner), Julia (Lewis), Polly (Ja- cobi), Olive (House), and Hannah Maria. Some few of the birth dates as were found in the Nassau, New York Reformed church records are: Phebe born 3-9-1809; David born 3- 29-1812; Enos born 9-14-1814; and Hannah Maria born 2-17-1817 bapt. 2-29-1818. Family records of Hannah give the year of birth as 1819.
Hannah M. died in Turin, N. Y., September 25th, 1906; Hannah M. Mickel married 9-21-1841 in Lewis county Stephen Parsons Allen. They had 6 children: Elizabeth (Clobridge) born 1844; Mary Ann (Everett) born 1847; Lucina (Jones) born 1849; James Monroe born 1851; George W. born 1853 and Abigail Cynthia born Jan. 2, 1857 who married Jan. 28, 1879 Griffith Prichard Jones, born
August 21, 1847 in Wales, came t America at the age of 5 and spent his boyhood in and around Remsen, N. Y. Came to Kansas in 1869, lived in Lyon county until he died in 1835. These were my parents.
Returning to the ancestry of Han- nah Maria Mickel, I believe Hannah was born in Schodack, N. Y. as she often expressed a wish to visit Scho- dack "again." In the History of Rensselaer county it says "A map drawn about the beginning of the 18th century of this town (Schodack) 100 years previous." On this map is found the location of several lands listed as belonging to A. and J. Mick- el, N. Mickel and H. Mickel. I also found a record which says the town of Schodack was not formed until March 17, 1793. The first census of the U. S. in Columbia County, Clav- erack Twp. gives the name of Jacob Mickell with 3 men over 16, 4 men under 16 and'6 white women. Also in record from the Reformed Dutch church in N. Y., page 117, Vol. 25 N. Y. Gen'l and Hist. there is baptismal records from the Reformed church in the city of N. Y. of Johannes Mikkel and Anna Maria Kogh, kinders (child) Willem Feb. 22, 1747. In no way do I know that this Johannes and Anna Maria are of any kin to Hannah Maria, daughter of Andrew but the names bear
a similarity. Glenn L. Mickel of Hector, N. Y. has been as faithful in his search for the parentage of Andrew as I, and we both would be most grateful for any assistance that could. be given us Names, dates, places and occupation or Revolutionary War service are es- pecially desired.

I am looking for the parents of John C. Timmerman or (Zimmer- man) born April 28, 1785, died Oct. 15, 1846, a veteran of war 1812, serv- ed in battle of Sackets Harbor, N. Y. His wife Gertrude Timmerman (by birth) born March 30, 1792, died De- cember 29, 1884. They located at Camelia, N. Y. in 1832. (Gertrude I believe from the Conradt line.)
I have a note stating John C. was the son of Christian. I find in the Vol. New York men in Revolu- tion two men listed by that name, both served in the Tryon Co. Mi- litia, Second Regt. The names are spelled differently therein, one using the letter Z and the other T. The Christian Timmerman also served as an enlisted man In Third Reg. of Tryon County.
I should lke the birth of Christian (the father of John C.) and who he married. The date of marriage is the most important date, however, the data on their births and deaths will make a complete record.
