In his later years Captain Jchn House took up a tract of land on what is called, "Twelve Thousand," near Richfield Springs. The title to the land could not be obtained until after the death of one of the heirs. Capt. John died and is burled in a private cemetery on the farm where he lived. The title to the farm was finally given to the son Ebenezer. The transfer of title was given in

Again he says, "This Indian knew of some places where he could get lead for their bullets. He would take John to a certain tree and then go out of sight. After a time he would return with his buckskin shirt filled with chunks of lead which he had cut off with his knife. Dividing the load, they would then carry it home. There seemed to be an un- derstanding of honor between them that the location of the lead should remain a secret."
Again he tells that, "At one time they discovered a bee tree which they robbed, the Indian refusing to leave until they obtained all of the honey, although stung so badly that he could not see and John had to lead hlm home."
Captain John House was a very religious man and one night when his family returned home from attending a gathering at a neighbor's, they found him kneeling at his bedside in an attitude of prayer, but hls spirit
About two weeks after the battle of Oriskany Gen. Arnold with an army of a thousand men came up the valley, stopped at Fort Dayton, and from thence sent forward a captured tory refugee who had been sentenced to death but was offered pardon in case he faithfully performed the ser- vlce assigned him. His name was Han Jost Schuyler. His brother Nicholas having been left as a hostage in Ar- noid's hands, Schuyler went into the British camp and reported that Ar- nold was coming with a large body of men to reileve the fort, the Tor- les and Indlans were frightened, the siege was raised and Col. St. Leger retreated to Canada. Whatever may be said of the after career of Bene- dict Armold, it is certain that the inhabitants of Tryon county were under great obligations to him for his services · on this occasion. Gen. Gates thought that no troops could be spared from the army near Sara- toga, which was confronting Bur- goyne, but Arnold begged to be as- signed to this service and called for volunteers. His expedition was en- tlrely successful and he should re- ceive the credit which is due him. About the same time Col. Harper defeated McDonald near Middleburgh in the Schoharie country and Tryon county was saved. After Gen. Herki- mer's death Col. Marinus Willett troops assigned to the protection of Tryon county. The brigate served at commanded the brigade and
fort and sometimes at another. There were surprises at all hours of the day and night and at all seasons bf
the year., There were skirmishes, battles they were called, at Sharon, at Johnstown, in the Schoharie Val- ley, all over Tryon county. It was the seat of an active and bitter bor- der war and Col. Willett was a brave and vigilant leader.
The incidents of this strife are viv- ly depicted by Judge Campbell in "The Annals of Tryon County" and by Mr. Simms In his "Schoharle County History," and "Frontiersmen of New York."
In the spring of 1782 Col. Willett made an attempt to capture. the British Fort at Oswego but his In- dian guide led him astray and being shore of provisions, he was compelled to abandon the enterprise. The Brit- Ish held this Fort throughout the war, and for many years after Its close. It was a strong position and was a continual menace to the pa- triots during the war, and after the Treaty of Peace jt was held by the British for the purpose of enforc-

Purchase, she went over crying, took up my oldest sister (Sarah Wisner) then a baby, kissed her and sald, 'So they are going to take you away off where I can't see you again, to . be killed by the Indians. maybe."
But notwithstanding all opposition, the next spring (1809) Father and his brother James with an ox-team with wagon loaded with such agri- cultural implements and household goods as two men would be most likely to need, they started for the Holland Purchase. It was slow trav- eling at that time. When they got to Rochester, merely a hamlet then, the travelers had a hard time indeed. The Ridge Road was just being cut through and often they had to stop and wait or take hold and help be- fore they could proceed.
They went to Batavia and pur- chased 'Articles of Agreement' which would secure them against others in- fringing on their rights, only hav- ing to pay a small amount down, while the balance could run for a number of years, to be paid in in- stallments at the purchaser's con- venience. Thus they progressed slow- ly toward their destination in the wilderness, where they built a shan- ty, moved their household goods and commenced living. And as Father had kept bachelor's hall before mar- riage, and was a systematic man, they got along very well until their provisions they brought with them were gone. They had a cow sent from . Seneca county, which helped them in ekeing out their scanty living. They had to bell the cow and turn her in the woods, of course, in the summer; and I have heard Father say that sometimes she would wan- der so far from home they could not find her and consequently would have to go to bed without their supper, as they had nothing but samp and milk, There were no mills there then. Father made a wooden mortar by sawing off an oak log two and one- half feet high, and burning and scraping out one end until it would hold about a half bushel; and for a pestle, an oak knot made a durable one by putting on a handle. They would pound the corn, sifting out the fine for Johnny-cake and the coarse for samp.

My father, William Wisner, came to Niagara County first in 1808, viewing with the intenton of buy- ing, if he liked the county then call- ed the Holland Purchase. With his knapsack on his back, he bade itis wife and child goodbye and started on foot for the then far West; only about 150 miles, as his starting point was Seneca County, town of Romu- lus, which now can be reached in three hours. But at that time prob- ably took him a week, as there were no roads, but the old Sullivan Traii. But he knew what he was seeking, the Holland Purchase and Lake On- tario. So he wandered on, following streams and trails of others who had been through before him, until he came to the Eighteen Mile Creek which he followed to its mouth where he beheld Lake Ontario, which no doubt he thought was the garden of the worid.
I think he said there were three families there at the mouth of the Creek, one by the name of Bergen (Burgoyne) Kemp from whom the village first took its name, Kemp- ville, now Olcott. I think Father was well pleased with the view, as I have often heard him say that when he came in sight of the mouth of the Creek, and Lake Ontario stretched away to the north like a vast plain, he thought it the most beautiful site for a village he ever saw, and accordingly soon located his future farm two and one-half miles east on the banks of Lake Ontario.
After locating his future home, he retraced his steps homeward and told his wonderful story to wonder- ing, admiring listeners, and was quite a hero, no doubt, as he was the first

Not all communities have been subject to major migration move- ments, but some have gone through several. The census reports reveal their extent. In industrial areas Ital- ians, Greeks, Poles, Jugo-Slavs, Bul- garians and others have made up & large part of the labor suply. In ag- ricultural areas the rural population still consists largely of the de- scendants of the New Engianders, the Irish, the English, the Welsh, the Scots, and the Germans. A writer on Connecticut gives us a picture of the importance of immigration into that state which, in spite of its long colo- nial history, now has a papulation almost two-thirds of which is either foreign born or of foreign born par- entage.
