Yost would not get through, for every scalp was worth eight dollars in English gold, and if he was cut off, her other son would have to be sacrificed in his stead. Deprived of (her last coulcilor, protector, her dead father gone, her husband dead, her brother Gen, Herkimer with his little army / lat Oriskany, all who might have stood by her in her hour of need," she turnedhomeward -(Mns. c.' W. Crim.)
Two days after, the siege was raised, and General Arnold appeared before Fort Schuyler. Hon Yost, act- ing as escort to English forces, went as far as Oswego, then returned to tell Gen. Ganesvoort that the' enemy, had fled.
This show's that General Arnold was a very able commander, in using strategy, instead of battle. It also shows what a wonderful man Hon Yost was. He was nobody's fool. Thus, we' see again, the help that came from families, who were ques- tioned at the time relative to which side they served upon.

Over the controversy over lands adjacent 'to Indian Castie owned by Col.

This affidavit was made Jan. '23, 1762. - ( Article by Milo Nellis on Col. Jacob Klock,) Patriot, disprøves this, (En- terprise and News, Feb. 15, 1928). 'This affidavit establishes ‘that David Schuyler knew 'Peter Waggon- jer and Leonard Helmer, whose homes "were near the Palatme Stone Church.

HIMES FAMILY IN AMERICA
Carl H. Zwinck
(Continued from last week)
William Himes b. 1784 spent his youth or at least part of it, in New York state, probably in the Mohawk Valley. He is said to have been'a blacksmith, although in later years he was known as a farmer and own- ed several farms in Michigan. Since his wife's family was of Stone Ara- bia, N. Y., it is logical to assume that Wm. Himes lived and met her there. Any clue as to the ancestry or information about the early life of this William Himes would be greatly appreciated by the compiler of this series, Carl H. Zwinck of 904 . Pack- ard, Ann Arbor, Michigan. William Himes left N. Y. in 1828 and settled west of Ann Arbor, Mich., 'on clear- ed ground. Later he found this place to be a camp site for the Indians who annually came down from the North on their way to Canada to receive presents from the English' govern- ment for their part in the War of 1812. Their camping there on Honey Creek for 4 to 6 weeks created such a nuisance that Wm. Himes moved his family to adjoining. Livingston County, and, patent records show that after 1836 government land there was purchased by him and by James M. Himes, appaently his son James, although he would have been in his middle teens at the time the patent was issued to him Sept. 4, 1838
William Himes b. 1784 probably in N. Y. d. 18 Nov. 1849 near Pin- gree, Mich. m. 19 Apr. 1814 Nancy Ann Feeter, b. 21 May 1796 N. Y. d. 11 Feb. 1863 Mich. and buried with her husband in Green Cemetery near Pingree. Nancy Ann was the dau. of Wilhelm Vetter (Feeter). and Eli- zabeth Bellinger of Stone Arabia, N. Y., the' ancestry of both parents being partially known. The life of this Wilhelm Vetter, later known as
ter, came to America -- the Neptune. Wealthy Lucas Vetter was a warm personal friend of Sir. Wm. Johnson Land named the father of Nancy Ann Feeter Himes after Sir, Wm ..- All the .. Feeter family except Wm. took sides with the British and as hostilities began they removed to Montreal. Ar- counts of the activities of Co. Wm. Feeter in the Revolution are given
in the Feeter book mentioned. Hie mar. April 30 1782 Maria Elizabetha Bellinger. The children of Wim. Himes will be listed below in proper order: Wm. Feeter Himes, Catharina,, Mary M., James, Elizabeth, Abram,, Dorothy Ann, George H. Himes, andl Nancy C. Himes.
