The Palatines had early . built a log church on the south side of the river. This later was replaced by the stone church known as Fort Herkimer. It was necessary to have a church on each side of the river.
for in time of high water it was dangerous to try to cross. .
The death of John Jost Petry, the pioneer, occurred in 1770, at the age of 84. He was born in Alsace in 1686. He made his will in 1759.
To Marcus, he gave 6 lbs as being the oldest son.
To Delia, his wife, "all real estate until she married. In that event to Marcus goes the Burnetsfield lot he now has." (I believe Delia's death occurred before her husband's. Does any one know?)
To Hannes, lot at Burnetsfield he had before 1757 and 100 acres - in Livingston Patent.
To Daniei 200 acres in Livingston tract.
To Hanjost and Dederick divide up equally Lot 24 at Burnetsfield and Valentine Staring lot next to the merk tree and 100 acres of woodland in Livingston tract.
To my four daughters 50 lbs. each. The four daughters were Catherine, Gertrude, Dorothea and Maria. He named Marcus and Hannes execu- tors.
The original wili hangs in the Munson Memoriai Building in Utica. It, together with a scrap book con- taining deeds, receipts and other le- gal papers of the early Petries be- came the property of the Oneida Historiai Society of Utica through Mrs. Arnold Petrie, a one-time res- ident of Little Falls.
I have a copy of part of a letter, written by Mrs. Arnoid Petrle Jan. 26, 1927 in answer to a query by a correspondent. She was, then 81 years of age, according to a note at the end of the letter.

Dr. Palmer Tells How Tryon County was Formed, Divided
Dr Robert M. Palmer of Glovers- ville, Fulton county historian, has prepared for publication an interest- ing article on old Tryon county. The article discioses that the old county was an Immense stretch of territory. The article follows:
"The province of New York was first divided into counties on Nov. 1, 1683. This was done by an act of the General Assembly of the province. Thomas Dongan was the royal gov- ernor at the time. This act created ten counties, namely Albany, Or- range, Dutchess, Kings New York, Queens, . Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester.

Hamilton was the last to be cut from Mont- gomery in 1816, except Fulton which remained with it until 1838.
In 1836 the county seat of Mont- gomery county was removed from Johnstown to Fonda, causing dissat- isfaction in the northern part of tho county. Thus it came about that Ful-

Dr. Palmer Tells How Tryon County was Formed, Divided
Dr Robert M. Palmer of Glovers- | honor General Richard Montgomery, ville, Fulton county historian, has prepared for publication an interest- ing article on old Tryon county. The article discloses that the old county was an immense stretch of territory. The article follows:
"The province of New York was first divided into counties on Nov. 1, 1683. This was done by an act of the General Assembly of the province. Thomas Dongan was the royal gov- ernor at the time. This act created ten counties, namely Albany, Or- range, Dutchess, Kings New York. Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester.
The county of Albany which took its name from the Scotch title of James 2nd, Duke of Albany, embrac- ed the whole territory of the pro- vince lying north of Ulster and west of the Hudson river, as well as ali north of Dutchess on the east side of the Hudson.
No change In this county division took place until March 12, 1772
when the provincla' assembly divid- ed Albany county into three parts, Albany, Tryon and Charlotte. Try- on county included all that part of the province west of the Delaware river and a line cxtending thence Scho- north through what is now harie county and along the east line of Montgomery, Fulton and Hamil. ton counties and continuing In a straight line to Canada. Johnstown was named the county seat of this vast area.
Tryon county was named in honor of William Tryon, who was the royal governor of New York at that time. In 1765 Tryon was appointed gov- ernor of the province of North Car- olina. During his administration there he built, as the governor's pai- ace what was then the most magnifi- cent structure in America. This pal- ace was at Newbern and stood until Feb. 27, 1798, when it was destroy- ed by fire except for one of the wings which remains standing. There has been talk in recent years of re- building It as was done with the co- lonial buildings at Williamsburg, Vir- ginia. Tryon became governor of. New York July 8, 1771,' succe #ing John, Lord Dunmore who was ap pointed governor of Virginia.
The American Revolution broke out in 1775. Since Governor Tryo7 was loyal to the established govern- ment, he was in disfavor with the r)- volutionary party. The war ended in 1783 and April 2, 1784 the state legislature changed the name of Tryon county to Montgomery to of the city.
a war hero who had lost his life during the assault on the city of Quebec in 1775. The county area l'e- mained the same until 1789 when Ontario was. taken, off. From then the counties rapidly increased in: number, pieces being taken from Montgomery and others. Hamilton. was the last to be cut from Mont- gomery in 1816, except Fulton which remained with it until 1838.
In 1836 the county seat of Mont- gomery county was removed from Johnstown to Fonda, causing dissat- Isfaction in the northern part of the county. Thus it came about that Ful- ton was severed from Montgomery. April 18, 1838 and its county seat est tablished in the ancient and venerable Johnstown., It was named for Robert: Fulton who in 1807 had launclied the Clermont, the first steam boat that navigated the Hudson, making a successful trip from New York to Albany and back, going at a rate of five miles per hour.
An interesting item in connection with the name of Tryon is that North Carolina also named a county of that province for William Tryon, while he was her governor. Tryon county, North Carolina was created in 1769 from a part of Mecklen- burg, which had been created a short time previously from a part of An- son. Tryon county for patriotic rea, sons was abolished In 1779, becom- ing Lincoln and Rutherford. These counties are still In existence, but have had others created from their territory.
The name of Governor Tryon's wife before her marriage was Wake and North Carolinians also named a county for her, Wake county, dar- ing the governor's tenure of office there. At the time Tryon county was changed in name, it was also pro- posed to change the name of Wako county but when it was seriously considered, the chivalrous Southern- ers decided they could not treat Lady Tryon in like manner and so Wakc county remains to this day.
