Iroquois Indians in Mohawk Valley
By W. C. KIMM (Continued from last week)
Gave Us Corn Our Greatest Staple It was the Indian that gave us our greatest food staple, Indian corn, the barometer of the high or low cost of food. Yield of corn not only affects food for human consumption but food to give us beef, pork and poultry.
When we eat Grandmas' corn meal Johnny cake and her delectable pumpkin pie do we ever think of the Indian women who for ages toiled in the fields to raise and hand down to future generations the corn, pump- kinis and squash we white people now use as food ?
The Iroquois had three kinds of corn, white,. red and white flint When ripe they husked and braided it . and hung it. in a dry place and taught' the colonists to do likewise. It was the Indians staple article of food as It was also that of the first white settlers.
.The Indians ground the corn in a mortar and sifted the meal in a sieve basket. They baked it into small loaves and to this day we call it "Indian Bread." They also had way of chairing the corn which would cause it to keep for several years. Another way was to pick the corn when it was yet 'green and par- tially roast it and then it was shell- ed and dried in the sun, with this they mixed a third part of maple sugar and ground it into flour. The hunter or warrior could subsist on a small amount of this while out on a long journey. . Snowshoe and Moccasin
The snowshoe and moccasin were pre-eminantly Indian inventionos and the Indians gift to white men. The former is now in such general use and so familiar to us that I need not describe it only to say that the first white settlers adopted it as the swift- est and easiest mode of travel over the deep snows of the forests.
The Indian moccasin was made of a single piece of skin with a seam only at the top and heel. When not allowed to fall at the top, it reach- ed above the ankle and was fastened with deerstrings. There has never been made any outside covering for the foot that was more nearly adapt- ed to the purpose for which it was designed. The thread was made from the sinews of the deer and the needle from a small bone found near the . ankle joint of the same animal. The deer skin was tanned by use of the brains of the deer. These were dried and made into small sakes. The hair was scraped from the . skin, after which it was soaked in a solution made by boiling the sake of brains in water. It was then stretched to make it pliable, afterward it was smoked until the pores were full aza the skin became tough. It was then ready for use. 1
Bear skins were not tanned but were left with the.hair on for beds on which to sleep.
Helped The Colonists
History tells us the Indian taught the first colonists how to enrich the soil for raising corn, pumpkins and other goods, and often when starva- tion stared the colonists in the face they brought food to the white met- tlers: In return for these many acts of kindness the Indian was cheated out of his lands and degraded by the white mans fire water.
The Mohawks, the most powerful of Indian, tribes were , driven from their beloved Mohawk valley and are now living on lands doled out to them by the white man.

GRAD, DeGRAFF, FEDER
I have supposed that Elizabeth, wife of Johannes Feder in 1754, was Elizabeth Grad born 1714 to Johan- nes Grad and Wlagurga.
Elizabeth -- and Johannes Feder had been sponsors together in 1737 .; and had son John in 1754.
I have just found the marriage of Elizabeth Graad in 1738 to Henry Mesig (Mesick ?). Were there two girls so named, and if so whose dau. was Elizabeth, wife of Johannes Fed- er. As widow she married in 1756 Bouwdwyn DeGraff.

PECK - FOSTER
Can someone having access to Peck records help me to find any possible connection between the fol- lowing families? Similarity of Chris- tian names lead me to think there may be a relationship.
Oliver Peck (5) Rec. war soldier, (son of Ichabod, 4, Jathniel 3, Joseph · Jr. 2 and Joseph 1 of Hingham, Mass. 1638) and his wife Fear Foster, liv- ed at Norway, Herkimer County, N. Y. Oliver had among other children, two sons, Ira and Lewis. Ira resided at Saratoga Springs and had a. son .: Ira Lewis and a dughter Louis. This line is recorded in the "Peck Genea- logy" by Ira B. Peck, published in 1868.
The other family resided in Port Byron, New York. There, at about 1870, a Lewis Peck owned a flour mill. His brother Ira also resided at Essex England, abt. 1595.
Port Byron, where he married Mancia (or Marsha) Dixon and had children Lewis and Gaylord.
Descendants of both these lines moved to Michigan. Later genera- tions of both lines have settled in Southern California.

Iroquois Indians in Mohawk Valley
By W. C. KIMM (Continued from last week)
The Oneidas who stood by the col- onists in the Revolution should have been allowed to live in their own land free and unmolested, not so, little by little the whites usurped their rights and all that is left of their lange domain are 350 acres. A few scattered families, a cluster of little houses at at Orchard near the village of Oneida and another little group at windfall in Madison Co., are all that is left of the once proud Oneida Nation here in New York. Just 100 years ago this larger part of ' the Oneldas emigrated to · Wis- consin. The red friend of our fore- fathers .saw thelr happy hunting grounds gradually occupied by the usurping paleface until they were finally compelled to leave the scenes of their youth and the graves of their forefathers by the very people whom they had befriended and seek new homes far toward the setting sun.
