Andrustown-a Page from Herkimer County's Past

Continued from last week). The snow of 1757 had scarcely melted away when the horrified colo- nists on the hill saw a strange Illu- mination flash upwards in the gray dawn like gigantic northern lights. Falnt savage yells borne on the morning breeze plainly told them it was the murderous work of the cruel and savage allies of the French, and not nature's pencil writing fire lines on the blue dome of the heavens - but the stern realities of war, and the hamlet known as Fort Dayton was no more.

When the peonies were dropping their red petals, like crimson stains, to the Henderstown dwellers of the heartless raging conflict, a German settler by the name of Brantz, or "Dutch Brandt", as he was known, came and settled to the south of the colony. He was a staunch adherent of the French cause for mercenary reasons and apparently the love of feud. Brantz plainly showed he was in league with the common foe and supplied various Important informa- tion to the government of his choice. He became very obnoxious and his place proved to be headquarters for French and savages. Several times all narrowly escaped being murdered during the night by these parties, induced hither by Brantz and mat -! ters grew worse. A child who hap- pened to stray after May flowers in the direction of Brantz's cabin was scalped alive and managed to crawl back with the withered blossoms still held In his tiny hands to die on his father's doorstep. This incident incited the settlers to such an ex- tent that a few nights later they surrounded Brantz's log house and after an exchange of several rounds of musketry and wounds received on both sides, Brantz, being now dis-

abled was captured and fastened to the floor of his cabin and his suppli- cations for mercy were unheeded and the torch was applied to the timbers. A glance at the ruins of his dwelling next morning told the story of his fate to any chance passer or curious visitor.

Even this barbaric retaliation did not protect them from the invasions of the French. Amid the early year of 1758 the Andrustown pioneers chanced to receive a timely warning as to the nearness of the enemy and fled. In the flight to the fort at the Mohawk's brink these devoted home builders were attacked and fought ' their adversaries back of huge boulders and from the rear of fallen trees as slowly they worked their way to the valley. Early re- cords throw no further light on this matter except to state that one An- drustown woman was scalped alive. When the colonists finally reached the Mohawk Flatts they found a general alarm had been spread and the families about had hurried to the white stone building, and the four families from Andrustown learned there was no room for them.

Several laborers begged admission to the fort but they were likewise refused protection, though they had brought the baggage of Gen. Gage some hours before to the fort. These strangers were sheltered by the fami- ies of Andrustown and shared with them the horrors of the savage at- tack. After several persons had been slain, the fortunes of war turned in favor of the Henderson settlers and the enemy fled, though all the cab- Ins, it appears, were fired, but the ones occupied by the Andrustown people.

In the "Notes of the Society" is a paragraph about Mr. Carl A. Zwinck, of the Washtenaw Histori- Ical Society, (also one of our sub- scribers) an engineering student at the University of Michigan and one of the newest and youngest members of the society. As secretary of the newly organized 7 vinck- Kalmzbach Association he snoek at the May 10 meeting on what Association mem- bers hoped to do. As a descendant of Mohawk Valley families he discussed the history of his ancestor, William Feeter.

The editor, Miss Maude C. Hatha- way and assistant editor, Mrs. Clar- ence L. Beavis (one of our subscrib- ers) are setting a high standard with their publication.

The death of Harold Frederic Stur- tevant who died May 4, 1947, in Hub- bardsville, Madison County, N. Y., is noted in an editorial telling of his work for the society. He was the organization's first recording secre- tary.

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 Staenia, 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)

Second Tryon Co. Regt.

Coi. Jacob Klock

(In 1932, Lou D. MaoWethy, then editor of the Enterprise and News, published lists of the men then known to have been in the Tryon Co. regiments. These lists are to be found in "The Book of Names," com- piled and published by Mr. Mac-

Wethy).

He says, in part, "Klock's regiment is taken largely from "New York in the Revolution," a state publication, which was issued in 1904. The list of names is from state payrolls sent in by Col. Jacob Klock and is un- doubtedly correct as to those in the regiment subsequent to 1780 when the state government first began to function. Prior to that, records have been gleaned from pension papers, private papers, family traditions, etc. The present work is the first at- tempt to treat the subject by regi- ments and is far from complete. Re- course has been had to the Oris-' kany roster of names, as well as Greene's "Gateway to the West," which contains the best roster yet published. We are also indebted to many family historians who have collaborated liberally in preparing this list. We know that we have fallen way short and that many of those not marked were in the battle of Oriskany. We can only hope that in the fullness of time additional evi- dence may come to light whereby these men may receive the honor, they deserve.

"In rcording the names as pre- pared from state pay rolls undoubt- edly many repetitions occur. The na- ture of the service called for many short time services and consequent duplicate pay rolls. The carelessness of army clerks in recording names, coupled with the apparent indiffer- ---- of the man themselves in the
