the Reformaion and embrace Pro- testantism. (in 1525) The first blow to ats prosperity was the discovery of the sea route to India in 1497 and the second was inflicted by the' Thirty Years War. (1618 to 1648). .


Being but 15 miles from Nurem- burg, Dachstadt was undoubtedly ravished by the Imperial troops and very likely destroyed, as was the sur- rounding countryside. The escaping inhabitants of the various villages must have flocked into Nuremburg and there stood the seige.


Our forebear may have acquired his designation of Dachstadter at this time and somewhat in this man- ner. He may have been the only John or George or Nicholas in the city who came from Dachstadt and would come, to be known as-say Nicholss, the Dachstadter., If he joined, or fol-


treat northward, the designation would continue to be used by his companions and so eventually would become his family name.


Whether our forebear went down the river or followed the Swedish army northward, it would seem like- ly that he settled in Hanover subse- quent to this siege of 1631.


It would seem then that the name Dockstader as a family name could not be older than 16631 and it must have arrived at this status by 1709 at least. This would allow at least 3 generations for the family to be- come established in Hanover and be- come known as Dockstadters.


As | regards the spelling of the name, there are some 40 varients to be found in the Church Records of the Mohawk Valley, and the spelling Dachs- is used as frequently as any. One must bear in mind that. the im- portant thing is Phonetics. These early settlers were mostly unable to read and write. When they went for weddings or christenings they told their names to the Domanle and he put down the letters which repre- sented the sound to him. If his educa -. ion background was High German, the name would be spelled one way, in this case Dachs-, and if It were . Low German or Dutch, he would 1se another spelling such as Dags -. When" George Dockstader was natur- alized at Albany, in 1715 the Eng- lish clerk translated the sounds he made for his name into Taxsteider' and so recorded the event.


The proposal of the Palatines to emigrate and colonize in America was undoubtedly known and talked about all up and down the Protestant coast of the Low Countries, which would include Hanover, and it may well be that the family kept in touch with other families from the Pala-

PRE-REVOLUTIONARY GRIST MILLS


This is an appeal for help. Ever since last fall when I was an a three days trip taking pictures of historic sites in the Mohawk Valley with Mr. John L. Warner of Binghamton I have been trying to collect data on the pre-Revolutionary grist mills in the Mohawk Valley. So far as I know there is only one of those old water wheel powered flour mills in opera- tion now.


I have scanned the histories, all of them, I think, ten or twelve years of the historical clippings of Tme En- terprise and News but up to date have only meager data on the first grist mills in the Upper Mohawk Valley. The French report of the in- vasion of 1757 locates grist milis at present dav Frankfort, Ilion, Herki- mer, and Fort Herkimer but gives no names of owners and mill-wrights.


These old mills came into exist- ence because the Indian corn mills, pestile and mortar, could not pul -! verize the 'hard flinty wheat into bread. Within three to five years after a settlement was made the
