JUDD

I am seeking information regard- ing the ancestry, especially the ma- ternal side of Jesse Russell Judd, born Dec. 7, 1812, probably in New York state. He received his early education at Homer Academy, Cort- land Co. His home was probably nearby. He Is thought to have been the son of Stephen Judd and his wife formerly Parmelia Stillwell of Calro, Green county.

Jesse Russell Judd taught school in several New York localities, then went to Ohlo and entered the min- istry. He settled In Wisconsin about 1850. He died in 1900.

WAGGONER, ROSEORANTZ

Catharina (pronounced "Katrina" by the family) Waggoner, daughter of Johan Peter Waggoner III and Anna Bell, was born April 10, 1784, Stone Arabia Lutheran church re- cord, which gives John W. Nellis and Catharina Wagner as godpar- ents. She married Col. Han Jost or Joseph, Bell (born ca. 1784, died ca. 1826). A letter written March 14, 1896, by their grandson, Joseph B. Rosecrantz, of Sparta, Wisc. to W. P. Webster, states that his grand- married twice, first husband a Peck. parents were cousins and that grandfather, Col. Bell, was at

"Sackett's Harbor in the war of 1812"; also that they lived "on what was called Fall Hill in. the town of Little Falls, then German Flats, in the county of Herkimer, and my mother Nancy Bell was their only child."

Said child, Nancy Bell, married probably about 1820 or a few years later, George A. Rosecrantz (not Rosencrantz as in "Wagner Book- lett' page 15), of Little Falls whom Alfred J. Wagner, of Fort Plain, in a letter to Webster about same time, refers to as "General." Infor- ¿ mation on his military career want- and had 2 boys and 1 girl (all data ed .

George A. Rosecrantz and Nancy Bell had a daughter, Catharine Mar- garet and a son, Joseph 'B., the writer of the above quoted letter. He gives no information about his sister other than that she was not living in 1896.

Joseph B. Rosecrantz listed three sons for himself and wife, whose name is not mentioned. The sons were: 1. George William; 2. Frank! Bell; and 3. Clarke Milligan, all presumably living in Sparta, Wisc.

I shall appreciate additional infor- mation concerning this family line, including, if possible, the later de- scendants.

Palatines in the Mohawk Valley

By Rev. Wolcott Webster Ellsworth,

Rector of St. John's Church, Johnstown, N. Y.

(Reprinted from the Proceedings of the New York State Historical Association, sixteenth annual meet- ing, 1915.)

(Continued from last week)

Another far reaching result of the battle was the weakening of the In- dians' attachment to the British. During the remainder of 1777 and the first half of 1778 the valley was not troubled by Indians and Tories and the farmers could peacefully till their fields. This repose, however, invited new tribulations. Out of the nine companies of militia only seven remained. Fort Stanwix was con- siderably west of the last German settlements, so that small war par- ties could slip by and descend upon the inhabitants. That year he opened up hostilities by attacking Andrus- town in the southeastern par of Herkimer county. The next expedi- tion was directed against German Flats. The harvests had just been gathered in. The attack was so well planned that but one of the four scouts survived to warn the people. Sixty-three houses, seventy-five barns, three grist mills and two saw mills were fired. It is said that 235 horses, 229 head of cattle, 269 sheep and 93 oxen were driven away. Brant did not attack the forts and escaped from the region as quickly as he came, eluding the 300 men who started in pursuit. Sudden at- tacks and looting went on for awhile along the New York frontier, but no effective help was rendered until the expedition under Sullivan in 1779.

This was after the terrible massa- cres of Cherry Valley and Wyoming | had formerly been credited.

Not all the . names of men who fought are found, as numerous cases occurred where a full quota of field, staff and line officers are given, but settlers suffered with the rest. The Palatines became expert in the meth- ods of Indian warfare through their terrible experiences. The Rev.

· Three years after von Grimm founded the primitive village of Hendersonton there came the great struggle between the nations of France and England for the suprem- acy of the American continent. Three other families had purchased lots and became his neighbors. Time passed on but the dark wings of war were fluttering very near, and their vibrations disturbed the peace of the inmates of those four cabins. Thru the influence of the French, part of the Oneida tribe left their old camp- ing grounds and departed for new pastures furnished them on the St. Lawrence. Many members of the Tuscaroras shared the same senti- ments as their sister tribe and the same land. The remaining tribes of the Iroquols confederacy adhered to the opinions of Sir William Johnson. The surging of the conflict came near. Scalping parties led by Indians whose acquaintance with the lay of central New York made them valu- able acquisitions to the French, but caused terrible devastation among

the homes of the isolated. Border people shuddered as they realized their dangerous exposure in the iso- lated, distant settlements on the for- est covered bluffs. The blaze of dis- tant cabins warned all to be on the alert and ready to seek the ham- lets on the Mohawk Flats, where numerous stockaded works and small stone buildings gave more of a sense of security. The waves of war be- came more turbulent towards the Mohawk Valley. Savages from Mon- treal Missions accompanied Cana- dians on trips to subdue the enemy. They would scalp and torture unfor- tunate captives with the same fiend- ish zeal as their heathen companions who had never been instructed to follow in the footsteps of the great Nazarine.

In the spring of 1756 a band of the enemy under cover of darkness silently glided through the forest and made stealthy attack upon Ger- man Flats. Less than a score were slain, and among this number sev- eral Hendersonton settlers succumb- ed.

The Petries In America

INTRODUCTION

These notes of and records of the Johan Jost Petrie family and descendants in America have been compiled by Mrs. Frederick Staenla, Munnsville, N. Y. with the assistance of Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Petrie, Johnstown, N. Y., Mrs. Edwin Freer, Port Ewen, N. Y. and many others whose names will appear later. Our re- cords are far from being com- plete. If any reader of this pa- per is connected with the Petries in any way, we request that he, or she, write to Mrs. Staehla. Any additional information will be welcomed. If errors are de- tected, as the series proceeds, correction will also be welcomed.

(Continued from last week) "New York in the Revolution" published in 1904 under the direc- tion of Hon. James A Roberts, State Comptroller, was a reprint . with many additions and much new ma- terial, of the first edition prepared by the State of New York in 1897. It was published in two volumes with a total of 870 pages. These vol- umes were prepared from large

quantities of forgotten papers relat- ing to the services performed by New York in the Revolutionary War. Their value was clearly prov-

en by the fact that New furnished nearly two and one-half times the number of troops in the Revolution with which the colony Rob-
