Andrustown a- Page from Herkimer Co. Past
(Continued from last week)
The settlers would have rendered him a burnt offering of his Moloch in the yard when, by chance he learned of their Intentions, and with his family fled to Canada. He soon returned and associated himself with a company composed of atrocious Mohawks and merciless Loyalists disguised as savages. With the ter- rible weapons of war, the scalping knife and torch, they roamed about the country like some unsatiated ti- gers. Only the shades of the many unfortunate settlers hovering over thelr nameless tombs could have re- vealed the butchery of this murder- ous gang as they wandered over the frontier or hovered near the vale of the Mohawk under the captainship of Sir. William's Indian son, the treacherous half breed-Tha yendan- ecea.
1
Two years after the commence- ment of the Revolutionary War, General Herkimer learned that a large force of British Indians and Tories were about to sweep down the Mohawk vale and the comman- der of the Tryon County militia is- sued his proclamation that every man between 16 and 60 should hold himself in readiness to take the field against the enemy. The Oneida Indian, Thomas Spenser, carried& message from General Herkimer to Paul von Grimm, who acted as May -- or of Andrustown .. The men in sl- lence heard the friendly savage de- liver the Hollander's message with his crude Indian eloquence. They re- turned to their cabins and took down flint lock muskets from branching antlers on the wall and carefully prepared them for the coming con- flict.
Paul von Grimm, though some years beyond the age limit, knew what defeat meant at the hands of this savage horde that threatened the lives of loved ones, their homes on the hillside and their rights and liber- ties .. When the day arrived Paul von Grimm and the other men of An- drustown cheerfully responded to their country's call and shouldered their muskets and left their wives, mothers and sweethearts and child- ren on the hills and marched to the valley. The next day they met the enemy at the pass of Oriskany. No braver record of service inscrihed on stately marble or wrought in bronze, or deeds quoth from ancient or mod- ern verse, can surpass that of brave Herkimer and the crude farmers of the Mohawk. It was through the ef- forts of the men of Andrustown, though few in number, coupled with that of the men in the valley, that the folds of the first glorious red, white and blue waved to the breeze from the flagstaff of Fort Stanwix in New York State on that eventful day so many years ago.
After the battle of Oriskany the pioneers from the hills experienced more hardships. Another settler by the name of Shaffer came to dwell

After the battle of Oriskany the pioneers from the hills experienced more hardships. Another settler by the name of Shaffer came to dwell among them. Small bands of marau- ders were lurking in the shade of the forest ready to fall upon the set- tlers. The women kept guard while the men worked; half-grown children learned to act as scouts and read the signs in the grass and woods of the enemy and be on the alert. Dur- ing the winter of 1777 they were obliged to go to Fort Herkimer and remain there several months. A few men would journey to the hills, look after the stock, and then return to the valley. In the spring the settlers, heavily armed, ventured cak to plant the crops and many of the women returned to look after ma- terial for clothing in the way of wool nad flax.
