Justus Riley originally came from Weathersficld, Conn. His parents, Julius and Mabel Adkins Riley were from Weathersfield and came to Au- rora, Portage county, Ohlo about 1815 to 1820.

In 1831 Justus and Betsey Perkins Riley signed a deed conveying over 80 acres of land located in Mantua Township, Portage Co., Ohioo.

Justus and Betsy Perkins Riley were the parents of the following named children and all children to this marriage were born in New York State:

1. Anna M. born Oct. 28, 1817, N. Y. State.

2. Mabel born Feb. - 5, 1819, N. Y. State.

3. Susanna C.born May 15, 1821, N. Y. State.

4. Clark P. born March 4, 1824, N. Y. State.

5. Louisa Sophia born Oct. 15, 1826, died Feb., 1919, Freedom Town- ship, Portage Co., Ohio.

6. Betsy Augusta born July 27, 1829.

I should like the parents of Betsy Perkins Riley if possible. Since all her children were born in New York it is possible she lived in New York at time of her marriage and as stat- ed above, her parents were on way home from a trip to New Lebanon, N. Y. All data possible.

KING

I am engaged in compiling a gen- ealogy of the King family, my line descended from William King who came to America in 1635 and set- tled at Salem, Mass., and I am in the 9th generation from William King of Salem.

My great grandfather was Captain Paul King. He was master of a coasting vessel and his home was at Hartford, Conn. during the periood that he was engaged in that busi- ness. He was married in 1791 to Eunice Morgan of Hartford and his 1 children were born there. About the time of the war of 1812 he migrated to western New York, our old fam- m 1 1 ily records show that he lived at Johnstown in Fulton county, later moved on to Cayuga county and fin- ally In 1831 bought land near Holley in Orleans county and built a home there. He had seven sons and five daughters, the sons, as they grew to manhood migrated to Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, California, Texas and South Carolina. My grandfather set- tled in Adams county, Ill. in 1835.

One son, William Schuyler King went to Charleston, S. C. in about 1821 and became the editor of the Charleston Courier. He died in 1851 and in his obituary, it says that he learned the printer's trade at Johns- town, N. Y. and describes Johnstown as being in the western part oof Data of Nicholas Van Tassel, born Dec. 23, 1747, died May 24, 1832 and Mary Whitaker, his wife born April New York but the Johnstown in Fulton county is the only town of that name I can find in New York, so I presume that was where ho, Paul, first settled after he left Hant- ford.

One son, Sylvester Paul King re- mained in New York state and in- herited the farm at Holley. I have quite a complete record of his fam- ily.

The oldest son of Paul, Henry, served in the War of 1812. Our re- cords say that he joined Captain Da- vid Buell's company of volunteers and saw service in western New York, it mentions the battle of Queenstown. I would like to learn just where that Queenstown is lo- cated and what regiment Captain Buell's company was in. Henry went

20, 1747, died Feb. 11, 1839. Lived in to Illinois in 1832 and was living in

Farmington, Calif. in 1871.

Would like dates of birth, marriage, place of death and where buried, where married. I do not know the date or place of Thomas' birth but he died 1848 on a farm near Venango, Erie , county, Pa. leaving a widow the second or perhaps third wife.

(Continued from last week)

Pension application, Bartholme Forbush (Forbes) W-16994.

Feb. 5, 1839 Catharine Forbush, widow of Bartholome, resident Newport, Herkimer Co., N. L. in her 75th year made declaratlon: Sald that she was the Daughter of Ru- dolph Furrey (Forer) and was born in October 1764 at Honearaha, Montgomery Co., N. Y.

Her family and she moved to the west bank of East Canada Creek and lived there till driven out by the In- dians at the outbreak of the Revo- lutlon.

She was married to Bartholome Forbes by Rev. Johan Daniel Groos of Fort Plain in 1779 when she was in her 15th year of age. Her Hus- band had been a sodier for two ycars and then was in service under Capt. Andrew Fink. Her husband was born in Montgomery county and was over 7 years older than she. The witnesses to the marriage were: John Van Slyke, Lany For- bush, Catharine Petrie and John Casselman.

The Petries In America

(Continued from last week)

Note- Correction: From a reliable souree I have learned that I have erred in numbering the generations in this series.

First generation should have been Johan Jost Petri and Anna Gertruyd Vion Ringh with their children.

Second generation, Johan Jost Pe- tri and Cordelia Demuth; John Con- rad Petri and Marie Catharine Ros- man; and Catherine Petri and Johan Joost Ergheimer with the familles of each.

Third generation begins with Mar- eus Petri and Anna Eva Kessler and their children.

Note-In the military career of Gen. Nicholas Herkimer (3-13-47) it should read, "Some 'of his subordi- nate officers became impatient" in- stead of "generals."

Note The death of Gen. Herkimer is said to have oceurred ten days ať- ter the battle which would be Aug. 16 instead of 6 as printed.

Incidentally I might mention here that the three seouts sent out by Gen. Herkimer before the battle of Oriskany were Adam F. Helmer, Hans Marcus Demuth and Han Yost Floits. (Campbell's Annals of Try- on County.)

SOME MEMORIES OF THE TOWN OF FAIRFIELD, HERKIMER CO.

By S. O. Kimm (Continued from last week)

Grandma a Neighborhood Nurse No one understood the efficacy of medicinal plants better than Grand- ma. Added to this knowledge was the healing virtue of her presence, her confidence, her sympathy, her softly spoken words and the cool touch of her effielent hands. Grandma in her younger days did not hesitate to don a pair of snow shoes and brave a bitter winter storm'to go to somo lonely log cottage to help bring a new being into existence. There was not a skilled physician in the new settlements such as we have today. Dr. Todd was an old man and Dr. Hinds who built and lived in the house on the hill at Salisbury Cor- ners where Mr. Kelly now lives had just begun the practice of medicine. Grandma eould rightly have been called an "herb doctor." She knew the best time of year to gather me- dielnal plants and when they were in full strength. From rafters of the woodshed hung big bunches of wildt plants which Gram and the chore boy gathered. I recall bonset, for adia- phoretic catnip, lobelia, aromatle tansy, sour sorrel, sumar for dyelng winter green, spearmint, peppermint any penny royal. Of wild roots we gathered wild wyturni, . sweet flag, queen of the meadow and oltsfoot to loosen colds.

Of harks of trees and shrubs I re- call the demuleent slippery elm, the hemlock whose bark was used for burns and whose twigs placed in hot water indueed perspiration. Whistle wood bark made a lotion for sore eyes. Elderberry bark boiled with jard and rosin made an excellent salve for wounds.

The healing virtues of these and many other plants were known to the Indians who taught them to the first settlers. They were in general use by our, Yankee grandmothers un- tll some time after the Civil War.

Good Things to Eat

The things to eat which Grandma- knew how to make out of material grown on the farm were legion. Per- haps there was only one thing which she made more popular with the men: folks than her "berry duff." This was made out of Gramp's corn meal ; -a batter filled with wild berries --- black berries were preferred-steam .- ed in a cloth contalner. In later- years when dried grapes came on the market these were sometimes substituted for berries. Gram's berry, duff flooded with real home grown ple sugar was food de luxe, excelled: only by Grandma's shorteake. Gram: could make shortcake out of most any kind of berries, but of course ly bad feature about strawberries; the chore boy was supposed to pleke. a lot of them for the hired girl to hull.

Strawberry Shortcake.

I can describe some what how" Gram made her strawberry short- cakes but no connoisseur can findi English words to describe the de -- light, the pleasure, the supreme sat- isfylng joy with which the men folks enveloped that delectable fare. Grandma would bake three slabs: of batter made out of Gramp's spring wheat flour about 14 to 18 |Inches square. On her blg blue platter she would lay one of those slabs o. baked douch with a hit - Lada

61X Catharina may have married Fasier Cox. No proof but each of the four children I found recorded have jeream and Gramp's home bolled ma .. one or two Petrie sponsors.

63X Jost may have married Marla strawberries were preferred. The on -.

uved there till driven out by the In- dians at the outbreak of the Revo- lution.

She was married to Bartholome Forbes by Rev. Johan Daniel Groos of Fort Plain in 1779 when she was in her 15th year of age. Her Hus- band had been a sodier for two years and then was in service under Capt. Andrew Fink. Her husband was born in Montgomery county and was over 7 years older than she.

was captured and taken to Canada and the fmily fled to Albany where they staid till the war was over.

Her Husband came to Albany and lived there three years, then they returned to Montgomery Co. and resided there until two years before her husband's death when they mov- ed to Albany, where he died about 31 years ago. After her Husband's death she and the children returned to Montgomery Co.
