(Continued from last week)
(N. Y. Gen. Rec., vol. 40, pp. 97, 163, 243, 246)-In the second list of Palatines are Henry Petri, tailor, age 20, Reformed church; Jacob Pe- tri, taiior, age 42, with two sons 16 and 10 and 4 daughters 19, 15,
and 4 years Reformed church; Nicoi
age 38, wife, 1 son 7 years, 2 daughters, 10 years and 18 months, Lutheran. These people apparently never came to the Mohawk Valley. After the 1711 expedition to Can- ada Gov. Hunter began his experi- ment of having the Palatines pro- duce tar and pitch for the British navy. When that proved unsuccess- ful he released them from their contract and ordered them to shift for themselves. In the camps they had been poorly fed, clothed and
housed, cheated In trade and forced to do work distasteful to them. Liv-/return empty botties today .- Adv. ingston who had contracts to feed them was called an "Ill" man who would pecuiate upon the public by his subsistence contract. "Ill" was used in the sense of being dishonest.
Some went to New York or on lands south of the Livingston tract but immediate action was begun b: a part of them, to move to. Scho harie lands which had been promisec them by Queen Anne. After twc weeks of utmost toii, though with. out bread and almost starved, they had cleared a way fifteen miles long through the woods. Fifty families reached the Schoharle valley only to leran that the lands had been grant- ed to people in Albany and they were warned by the governor not tr settie thereon. However, he arrang ed with the proprietors to offe them the land rent free for te years.
Johan 'Jost Pctry and his fam" were among those who went tr. Schoharie, for we find recorded i- the Kocherthal records the birth c his daughter, Anna Gertruyd Dec. 14. 1715, baptized Jan. 22, 1716 on th same , day when at Schoharie R+ |Kocherthal received new comm n' cants for his church. The grand
to remove suen of use Faintines as might desire, to lands more suitabie for them. On account of difficulties over land titles, many of them were not satisfied with their Schoharie valley homes. Benton says: "A con- tract in Engiand promised Palatines- 40 acres of land each, free from taxes and quit rents for 7 years. It was non-fulfillment of this contract and planting them on other people's land that caused their disquiet." One group under Conrad Weiser went to Pennsylvania. Another group went to the Mohawk Valley, where on Aprll 30, 1725 the Burnetsfield pat- ent of 9400 acres was granted to Johan Jost Petry, Conradt Rickert and 92 others. The dominating spirit: of the new settlement was Mr. Pe- try who was a natural leader by right of abllity and education. His, wife was a woman of culture nd refinement. The grant of land was divided Into 46 lots on each side of the river and each person's share consisted, as nearly as possible of 30 acres of river fiats and 70 acres farther back on the hills. Mr. Petry had lot No. 8 on the north side of the river. His son, Marcus, born pri- or to 1710, had lot No. 15 of 100. acres on south side of the river, Anna Gertryud Petry had lot 17 of- 86 acres on Stone Ridge, now Herki- mer village. Most of this she after- ward divided among the other pat- entees as it was a more desirable location for their homes thanthe
lower river flats, The part" tamneu now has the court house, Re- formed church and other bulldings standing upon it. The Indian deed 9, for this land had been given July 1722, so it had taken nearly three years for the English officials to take final action. The plan was to place thes ePalatines far enough west of existing settlements to serve as a barrier or buffer against French attacks.

A PALATINE FAMILY
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 . Staelila, Munnsville, N. Y. with the assistance of Dr. and Mrs. ; R. C. Petrle, 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- piete. If any reader of this pa- per is connected with the Petrles 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)
Burnettsfield Patent, so-called, is a curious document. It was granted on the 30th of April 1724. It recites that "whereas our loving subjects, Johan Jost Petri and Coenradt Rickert, in behalf of themselves and other dis- tressed Palatines, by their humble petition presented the 17th day of January 1722, to our trusty and well beloved William Burnet, Esq., Cap- tain General ard Governor in Chief of the province of New York, in council have set forth that in ac- cordance with the governor's license
they had purchased 'of the native |of Johan Jost Petrle with the British Indians in the Mohawks country' the tract of land on both sides of the Mohawks River commencing at the first carrying place (Little Falls), being the eastermost „ bounds along both sides of the sald river westerly unto a place called Gaudondagaraon, or the upper end of it, being about 24 English miles along on both sides of the said river .. The Indian deed is dated July 9th, 1722. That the council advised the governor to grant to each of the said persons, man, woman and child, as are desir- ous to settle within the limits of the said tract of land the quantity of one hundred acres."
In 1740, 6,000 acres called Hender- son's or Petrie's Purchase was grant- ed to John Jost Petrl and two others. This was farther south and partly in the present towns of Columbia and Warren in Herkimer county. Perhaps this accounts to some extent for Ja- cob Petri (supposed to be Johan
Jost's grandson) settling at Petrie's Corners, now Columbia Center.
These German settlers at Burnetts- fieid built a school house of logs before 1730 which was probably also used for worship until their first church was erected.
For 35 years they enjoyed a pros- perous peace during which their farms had been cleared, comfortable homes, mills and churches built, stock and crops raised and defenses established. The Mohawk had become a scene of great activity. In 1755 when supplies were being rushed to Oswego which was the only port. held by the British on the Great Lakes, we have an liemized account.
government at the two carrying places. One was at Little Falls, one mile long, rate per load 9 pence, the other was a shorter carry at Cana- joharle, 4 pence per load. Included in this list of laborers at Canajo- harie are four Petrles as follows: Marcus, 128 loads at 4 'd., amount £25 12 s .; Johan Jost, Junr., 56 loads amount £11 4 s; Johannes, 777 ioads, amount £155 8s .; Daniel 205 loads, amount £41. At Little Falls Detrich Petri carried 105 loads at 99, amount £47 5. s. Here we have named the five sons of Johan Jost Petrl, the ploneer. They were all active in mii- Itary service, aiso mention being made of them! in numerous places in colonial documents.
"Sir Wm. Johnson's muster rolls" represent actual services in the field along the Mohawk valley covering a frontier that was constantly ex- posed to the depredations of Indians. These companies were organized to protect their own homes. In these documents we find under date of Feb. 26, 1757, Capt. Mark Petry and in his company, Marcus Hanes Daniel, John Jost and Didrick Pe- try. In 1760 Is Capt. Marcus Petre 1st Lieut. John Petre, 2nd Lieut Danlel Petre. On May 9, 1767 ir Capt. Marx Petry's Co., Burnets- field, Lieut. John Petry, Lieut. Dan- iel Petry, Marx Petry, Jost Petry Marx Petry, Junr., Jost Petry, Junr Dietrik Petry, Jost John Petry, Johr. Petry, Junr. This Is a fair sample [ of repetition of names. Do you won; der that it Is difficult to trace lines of ancestry ?

William Allison Family Record
(Records of the William Allison Famlly of Orange county, N. Y. were written in a family Bible by Dorothy Ann Himes Allison followed by her daughter Carlie Genevieve Allison Burkhart. The original re- cords are now owned by Carl H. Zwinck, great great grandson this William Allison. Additional data on William Himes and his descend- ants is being published In the Enter- prise and News in Mrs. Frederick Staehla's Petrie series. This data and that of the Allison and related an- cestry may be obtained through Carl H. Zwinck, 904 Packard, Ann Arbor Mich., who wants data on the an- cestry of all mentioned below, espec- ially re. Sarah Roe and William Himes. The Roman identification numerals and all data In parenthe- ses have been added by Mr. Zwinck.)
I. William Allison was born 1791 April 1 (Number 1365 on page 215 of L. A. Morrison's 1893 "History of . the Alison or Allison Famlly in Eu- rope and America." Hls ancestry Is traced back to Joseph Allison of Southold, Long Island, in 1721, later of Goshen, Orange Co., N. Y. In that volume. "Col. Wm. res. Slate Hill, Orange Co., N. Y.," was the son of
James Allison and Amy Keziah Knapp, this James Allison having been a soldier in the Revolution.)
II. Sarah Roe was born 1795 Feh. 3 (C. A. Torrey, 94 Thetford Avt., Dorchester Center 24, Mass. wrote that the Timothy Roe he thought was a son of Jonas Roe when he published te Roe Genealogy was not te son of Jonas; however, Charles H. Roe of Tarrytown, N. Y., has found official documents which identify this Sarah Roe as the daugh- ter of this Timothy Roe born about 1787, Orange Co., N. Y., married Martha Sayre, had one son and 6 daughters including Sarah Roe who married James Campbell; evidently Sarah Roe was twice married. Timo- thy Roe died 1830 near Florida, N. Y. Some of this data comes from Emery Roe Hayhurst, Columbus, Ohlo.)
