through the seventeenth century there had been intercourse between England and the Palatinate, sanc- tiond and stimuiated by the royal marrige of Elizbeth, daughter of James I, with the Elector Palatine, Frederick V, called the "Winter King."'
Among the homeless people was the Rev. Joshua von Kocherthal. In January, 1708, he applied for an English agency in Frankfort-on-the- Main for passes and money to go to England. In his request he included in all fifty-three persons. Arriving in London, Queen Anne allowed each one a shilling a day for support. A report of the Board of Trade re- garding these people was taken up by Her Majesty May 10, 1708. Re- quest had been made that these Pala- tines be allowed to settle upon the of Hudson River in the Province New York where they might engage in the manufacture of naval stores, and be a frontier against the French and Indians.
Fifty-three sailed for New York with Pastor Kocherthal, and made a settlement on the banks of the Quas- saick where Newburg is now situ- ated. It was afterwards known as "The Palatine Parish by the Quas- saick."
In October, 1709, so many Pala- tines had crossed over to England that it is said there were 13,000 In London. According to Conrad Weiser, a distinguished Palatine in America, certain Mohawk chiefs who were in London with Peter Schuyler were so touched by the abject condition of these people that thev offered a tract of land to the Queen for thelr use pn the Schoharie Creek. Three large
shipments of Palatines were made in 1710. The first went to Ireland, the second to the Carolinas and the third to New York with the new governor, Col. Robert Hunter. The matter of the Palatines was earnestly taken up by Hunter. Some 3,000 embarked In ten ships at 'Plymouth in January, 1710. The voyage was a very un- comfortable one, and many persons died during the trip. The frigate Her- bert was wrecked off the eastern end of Long Island. The disaster gave rise to the legend of the Pala- tine Ship. Whittier evidently made

novel by Mary Hallock Foote and published In 1910 by the Houghton- Mifflin Co. The volume we read was a fourth edition copy. The locale of the story includes Albany, Oswego, Manhattan, Canada and the Hamp- shire Grants. The chief actor in the plot is Col. Yelverton, an English soldier whose motherless daughter clings to him throughout the narra- tive. Miss Foote makes Sir John Johnson the villain of the story who manages to break up the engagement of Col. Yelverton with Poliy Watts, whom Sir John married after dis- posing of his young mistress, Claris- sa Putman. The pening date of the novel is 1756 when, on August 12, the British lost Fort Ontario, during
which siege Mrs. Yelverton died
while bearing the daughter. Then fol- lowed the running events prior to and through the Revolution, in which figure largely the Schuylers and Johnsons, the Quakers and Madame Riedesel and Burgoyne. Col. Yelver- ton imbibed the spirit of the Ameri- can cause but was suspected by the colonists whose committees of safety compelled him to seek an asylum. in Canaria. Wealthy John Watts of New York had consented to the marriage of Yelverton to Mary Watts, then withdrew his consent under the in- fluence of Sir John Johnson.

REESE
Your May 8 issue has an inquiry from Mrs. Mabel Reese, Oswego Co. asking information about Samuel Reese of Herkimer Co., 1805-1800. If she will look up the records in churches and county histories she will find Samuel Hess, Samuel Fox, Samuel Bellinger (only one of him) and those three families all' inter- married with the Reese family and used each other's Christian names without stint.
My Herrther Bible Family of Eel- lingers, printed 1931 in the Enter- prise and News shows Melchior or Matthew Reese 1784-1879 marrying 7 Catharine (2) Bellinger, 1789- 1846 and having over 100 descend- ants. Matthew "was the son of Ad- am Reese and Hannah Bell; the grandson of Mark Reese and Mag- dalena; the great grandson of Dom- inie Nicholas Reese and a Miss Van Rensselaer." As a help I may state that Samuel Reese does not come from 7 Catharine (2) Bellinger in any records I have, but is certainly a close relative.
