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 settled at Salem, Mass, and I am in the 9th generation from William King of Salem.

. 2. Andrew Shaver born 1783 in Herkimer Co., died Lowvilie 15 Sept. 1870. His wife was Margaret Bellin- ger of Montgomery Co., born 1785, died 1865 in Lowville. They came to Lowvilie 1800. He was a soldier of the war of 1812. Tis children were: Gideon, Peter, Lany (wife of John Doxtater, ) Henry and Isaac,

I am trying to find out if there was a family in between Hendrick Schaffer and Andrew Shaver- (father and son?) If not who were the ancestors of Andrew Shaver?

My grandfather was Isaac Shaver who married one Mary Bassett. 'We have also lost the Mary Bassett Shaver history of ancestors.

Perhaps getting information of

Margaret Bellinger and ancestors might give a clue. I would greatly appreciate help. I have names and history of Andrew's children.

Is there an historical society at Johnstown that might give me some information on Paul King or any of his sons?

The Petries in America

(Continued from last week)

Since submitting the description of the battle I have received more material pertaining to this Schell family, some of which I shall in- clude here. First, a description of the blockhouse.

: "Confident of his ability to con- quer all savage hosts of the wilder- ness, John Christian Schell plan- ned and built of heavy hewn logs, a sturdy blockhouse, eighteen by twen- ty-four feet, two stories high. The windowless first story and the sec- ond story were fitted, for effective battle, with narrow loopholes on all four sides.

"The floor of the second or bal- cony-fortified story projected three feet beyond the walls of the first story on all sides. The floor of this extension was fitted with loopholes through which the garrison could shoot perpendicularly down upon the enemy in any attempt to fire the building or force the iron bound door.

"John Christian Schell had forti- fied his fort with an arsenal of am- munitions, muskets, powder, shot and food for any siege.

"Here the sturdy frontiersman and his fearless wife, Maria Petree, with three sons and two daughters, re- pulsed the first raiding band of 87 bloodthirsty . Indians and Tories who fled at nightfall with ten dead and twelve wounded, leaving their Tory leader, MacDonald, a prisoner in the blockhouse. The Schell family suf- fered no casualties.''

But as before stated, the twins, Mark and Henry, were captured out- side the blockhouse and carried away as captives to Canada.

| Mrs. Schell had a very important part in the defense of the block- house. She, .it was, who kept the guns loaded ready for use. "With the echo of each barking gun she rushed to replace the exploded charge. First in order the powder had to be meas- ured out and poured in the muzzle of the gun. Then it must be wadded and rammed down. Next the shot had to be inserted in the same way and that too wadded and rammed down. Finally a percussion cap had to re- place the one exploded."

The enemy prepared a battering ram about 60 feet long, from a tree : they cut in the edge of the forest. With 25 savages on each side of it, they started on a madly plunging dash for the blockhouse door. But Maria Schell's guns were ready. With unerring aim the leaders were shot down, tumbling things topsy-turvy and causing the rest of the onrush- ing mob to drop their battering ram and run.

When Mr. Schell decided to take McDonald into the building as a pri- soner, it was his wife who quickly unbarred the door and as soon as her husband had grasped the Tory by the nape of the neck and pulled him inside, she as quickly closed the door and again barred it.

(Excerpts given above were taken from a .memoir prepared by George W. Nellis for presentation ot annual recital of Cruger Society in Hender- son Home, on August 8, 1945.) Further statements, in the me- -11 -- the Identity of MA-

Petree Schell. There never was any- one, she thought, quite so good as the Lady of the Blockhouse. Mother never tired telling of the thrilling David Witherstine at Valely Gorge the great mother love which stood adamant' against every foe, which gave her all in every crisis.

Of Jonh Christian Schell, he wrote, "This deplorable incident (the shoot- ing by the Indians) closed the ca- reer of the bravest and most revered Christian patriot who ever trod the Mohawk. The valley lost a valiant leader, the colonies an irreplaceble patriot. Herkimer lost an idea] cit- izen, Schell's Bush a lovable com- mander and Manheim a great friend. (Mr. Nellis credits Miss Edna L. Ja- cobson, University Library, Albany and Miss Mildred Kunes, librarian of Herkimer Free Library, for gen- ealogical research in preparing the memoir.)

Further statements, in the me- moir, regarding the identity of Ma- ria Petree Schell, regarding condi- tions at that period of our history and the character of these early set- tlers are given below.

"My mother, Malinda Witherstine, a descendant of David Witherstine, a near neighbor of John Christian Scheji, was born near the Schell blockhouse. This authentic record was relayed to mother by genera- tions of her forebears, near nejgh- bors of the Schell family, cited in Alexis Johnson's memoirs: 'The road near where old Mr. Witherstine used to live, not far from the Schell blockhouse.'

"My mother insisted that Maria Schell was a daughter of Johann Joost Petree, militant patriot of the Mohawk Valley. This is not confirm- ed in Herkimer, but Cutter's Gen. Hist. has: 'Johan Joost Petree died in 1770, leaving four daughters. One of the daughters married John Chris- tjan Schell.' "

(Note-It is not possible to con- firm the early records in Herkimer as all were burned in the French and Indian attaok in 1757.) Mrs. F. S.

During those early years of our history the women had to clothe their families as well as feed them. "Among other things they raised sheared, carded, spun, knitted, wove from virgin wool, yarn and mater- : ials for stockings, underwear and outer garments for all members of their families. Home spun was · a term used with great pride in the valley of the Mohawk. Many attics and storehouses can yet show spin- ning wheel evidence of women's great part in winning the wilderness. David Wither tine at Valley Forge had a suit of buckskin expertly tailored by his mother. It was the pride of the regiment."

"THE ART OF ANCESTOR HUNTING"

by Oscar Frank Stetson (Published by Stephen Daye Press)

Like any art, ancestor hunting has produced its own fundamental rules and its materials are so scattered! that snags are encountered almost at the beginning. A guide is necessary not only to help find the shortcuts but even to complete the journey at all. Naturally, the best guide is one whose life has been devoted to this art, one who has made it his profession.
