John Turner born 1766 married Mary Ellis. His father John Turner, born 1707 or 1735 married Mary Wright. Am quite sure the two last are burlen either in the Hicks or the Bond burying grounds.

grounds for the position he takes.

We will now leave the early his- tory of the House family and take up the war record of Johnathan, one of the brothers mentioned previously. In a list of Capt. Jost Dygert's com- pany in Col. Clyde's Regiment under payroll certificate No.,11199 as pub- lished in the St. Johnsville Enterprise and News of May 1, 1929 .,we find the name of John House, private.

In "New York State Revolutionary War Manuscripts," John House was a private in the _ company of Capt. Jost Dygert who was in command of Herkimer's front guard in the battle of Oriskany Au- gust 6, 1777, as per Jost Dygert's pension papers. John House listed as private In a company of Tryon Coun- ty Militia by Col. Campbell and Col. Cox. John House listed as private in a company of Tryon County Rangers.

Also "Public 'Papers . of George Clinton," Vol. 5, page 1888: "Gen- eral Sullivan's Expedition, Camp Jacunas Farm , twenty miles by land from Lake Otsego, August 10, 1779. I enclose an account given me by a certain John House who was brought into camp by one of my scouts the day before I left the lake. This in- formation I am inclined ' to credit as the particulars are chiefly con- firmed by Col. Klock in a ietter dated the 7th inst." By James Clinton to George Clinton.' 1

Volume 5, page' 189-190: "Deposi-[ tion of John House."

John House in account given by himself saith, That on the 2nd in-f stant he was taken prisoner by Jo -. seph Brandt and a party of twelve Indians and Tories who conveyed him some miles into the woods when Brandt and four Indians went off, leaving him in charge of the others, and after an absence of about four days they returned bringing Brandt on horseback, wounded in the baii of the great toe by a swan shot; That a bullet and several swan shot had passed through his coat and breech clout; That he understood from one of the Tories they had made an at- tack upon some of the inhabitants of the Mohawk river near the Little Falls where the said House iived; That they had taken one prisoner whom being closely pursued they killed and narrowly escaped with the losy of their blankets and plunder, a

that even after they. discovered party of our people which put them to flight; House being lame by be- ing tied at night and marching with- out shoes, which with the greater part of his clothing they took from him, they determined to kill him, but being an acquaintance of Col. Butler he was permitted to return after tak- ing an oath of neutrallty, a certifi- cate of which Chief Brandt gave him written in the Indlan language, sign- ed by himself; That they also inform- ed said House that they lately came from Minisink where they had an action with our people and In which they took about thirty-four prison- ers, among whom were some officers, and also killed several; That they then proceeded to the river, 'where they carried om to the second inst. the day they took House, which was about twelve days from the action at. MinisInk.
