ENTERPRISE AND NEWS
Morgan Riflemen at the Middle Fort
(Continued from last week)
On June 21 Capt. Warren of 6th Massachusetts Regiment began the construction of a dam at the out- let of Otsego Lake. On June 23 Ma- jor Parr, returning from a three days scout down the Susquehanna River, reported that the river was passable for batteaux ten miles be- low the outlet of the lake. Lt. Par- ker's diary says that the river for fifteen miles down from the outlet was from one and a half to five feet deep. The outlet stream from Schuyler Lake joins the Susque- hanna River seven miles below the outlet of Otsego Lake and five miles further down the Cherry Valley creek . Joins the river near present day Milford. From this point the lack of water to float the batteaux was largely over, But the river was narrow and crooked with many rifts which kept the batteaux men busy with their setting poles.
Clinton's dam had raised the wa- ter level of Otsego Lake from one to three feet according to several estimates. Clinton's report says "at least two feet." The loaded bat- teaux had been placed on the bank of the outlet below the dam. When the dam was pulled away there was a great rush of water. It was an exciting moment for the batteaux men getting their 208 batteaux in the stream without capsizing on the morning of August 9, 1779. The land column marched on the trail on the west side of the stream and all camped that first night fifteen miles below Otsego Lake, showing that they had made pretty good progress.
The next day it rained and Clin- ton's little army did not break camp until three o'clock in the af- ternon. They marched five miles that afternoon and camped at "Youkam's" (Colllersville). And it is safe to say that no Indian corn fields were flooded below "You- kam's" for here the Schenevus and Charlotte creeks join the Susque- ; hanna River and the valley widens out, so that there must have been under water enough to float the batteaux two abreast. Lt. Parker's diary says that the batteaux were floated three abreast below Old Unadilla. There were almost daily clashes with the Indians all the way down the Susquehanna River. Indian villages at Castle Creek, Ot- senigo . (Binghamton) Choconut (Vestal) and Owego were burned but it was not until August 22 that the junction with Gen. Sullivan at Tioga Point, Pa., was effected. The Indians were fully aware of the mission of this expedition.
Then followed skirmishes along Chemung River, the Battle of New- town and other engagements. Nu- merous Indian villages, crops and fruit trees were destroyed along with stored grain as the army inov- ed northward into what is now the Finger Lake Region. Sullivan's army advanced along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, then skirted the northern end of the lake and turn- ed westward until late on the af- ternoon of September 12 it went into camp on the eastern shore of Con- asus Lake opposite the high bluffs of the western shore where unbe- known to the Continentals, the British, Tories and Indians had pre- pared to block their advance.
Late that afternoon Gen, Sulli- van called Lt. Boyd of the Rifle -! men to his tent and instructed him "to take three or four Riflemen, one Indlan guide" (Sullivan's report and Maj. Hoops diary) and during he night find out the location of he big Seneca Indian village, call- d "Genesee Castle," and return with the information before sun-up the next morning. There was noth- ing sald about fighting or killing Indians. It was a very dangerous secret mission.

they had followed coming out al- though Boyd's follower's advised him to return by a different route.
When within less than two miles party was surrounded by four or five hundred British, Tories and In- dians. Then began, against over- whelming odds, the most desperate and hopeless hand to hand strug- gle that any Rifleman had ever participated in. It was a fight to death on that Groveland Round- top. Two attempts were made by the Boyd party to break through that closing ring and both failed. Lt. Boyd was wounded and taken prisoner with Private Parker. Fight Riflemen, eleven Musketmen and three Oneida Indian guides were killed. On the third attempt six of the Boyd party broke through the encirclement and raced to the safe- ty of the army camp closely pursued by Indians. They were David FI- lison (Elerson), Timothy Murphy and John Yost (Yonse) of the Ri- flemen and Edward McDonald, Gar- the 4th Pennsylvania Musketmen. The Indian guldes were literally hacked to pieces with tomahawks. When Major Parr heard the firing he rushed a group of Riflemen to Royd's assistance and Gen. Hand advanced the troops of his brigade but they arrived too late.
of misguided patriotism, pageantry and oratory, those who fell at the Groveland Roundtop and the two captured there and tortured to death at Little Beard's Town, and buried by their comrades, were re- moved in 1841 to the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester. But in 1901 a marble shaft enclosed by an Iron fence was crected on the site of the ambush and in 1927 a bronze tablet was placed at the Torture Tree at Little Beard's Town near Genesee, N. Y. These plots are
visited annually by thousands patriotic Americans.

Sullivan's army returned to Eas- ton, Pa., for supplies, clothing and shocs, The Rifle Corps were order- ed into winter quarters at West
Point, N. Y., arriving there on No- vember 15, having marched over five hundred miles through the wilderness, swamps and over crude roads since leaving the Middle Fort on June 11. The guard of fifteen Riflemen at the Middle Fort was
withdrawn, ending their base there, and they rejoined their unit. Some of the Riflemen whose terms of cn- listment had expired were dis-
charged. Among this number were Sergeant Joseph Evans and Private John Williber (Wilber), Felix Hoo- ver, Timothy Murphy. David Elli- son (Elerson), and William Lloyd. They seemed to have urgent busi- ness back in the Schoharie Valley. Early In 1780 they are all enrolled in either Col. John Harper's Levies or Capt.'Jacob Hager's company of Schoharie militia and assigned to patrol duty in the Schoharie hills.
Within the year or two after- wards Sergent Evans married the daughter of Teunis Eckerson, Will- iber (Wilber) married Marian Mat- tice, Murphy, married Margaret Feeck and Ellison (Elerson) mar- ried Sarah Beacraft. All of these unions have left numerous descend- ants so that tlie blood of Morgan's Riflemen courses through the veins of many old Schoharie Valley fam- ilies. It does not appear that Wil- liam Lloyd or Felix Hoover ever married.

There were about three hundred soldiers, Continen- tal Line and Militia, within the fort with the civilians of the Weis- erdorf area. All of the former Ri- flemen fought bravely that day. John Williber (Wilber) shot and killed a Tory attempting to steal a colt at some distance outside of the palisades. Three times Sir John Johnson attempted to get a flag of truce within the palisades for the purpose of learning the number of defenders and three times the flag of truce was driven hack by the rifle fire of Timothy Murphy in defiance of the orders rett Putnam and Euan Lockiel of of Major Woolsey, the command- ant. Woolsey was a State Levies officer, not a Continental Line of- ficer as has been repeatedly stated by historians. He had never had combat experience with the In- dians.

TYLER
In Tompkins County a Justin or Justus Tyler was married and living at Newfield 1-25-1822 when his son Charles was born. Justin was born 11-6-1790 where? He married Nan- cy Warn 1788. (Nancy nickname for Ann or Agnes). In Oneida county I have lost the father of Eunice · Metcalf. She was born 1802 in New Hampshire but married 12-31-1823 at Rome, N. Y., William Eddy. An Elliott Metcalf was living in Rome 1875 and had a daughter Rose. Would like to find some of his des- cendants as he contacted my Eunice in regard. to settling an estate in New York about 1875. In trying to find the father of my Eunice Met- calf I have traced a distant cousin, Samuel Metcalf born 5-21-1753. He died in Turin, Lewis county, N. Y., 9-5-1811. The record of this fam- ily from Massachusetts, I would be glad to give you if interested.
In trying to trace .the father of my Justin Tyler I have found a Comfort Tyler born 2-22-1764 Ash- fort, Ct., entered American Army at age of 14 and served at West Point. Taught school in the Mo- hawk-Pioneer of Onondaga county. Died Cayuga county. He is not my man but would be glad to give his history if you do not have it.
I am only interested in tracing my own family-so give any infor- mation that I have in that may re- pay help that has been extended to me. I have the Eddy and Bristol family of New York.
