PALMATIER, PALMETER, PALMITEER
- Want names of parents, brothers and sisters, all data possible of Peter Palmiteer born before 1809 in New York State. Peter married Nellie Ann Van Benschoten in 1834. Nellie Ann was born at Knox, Albany Co., N. Y. and baptized Feb. 9, 1812.In the Reformed church of Helderberg in Guilderland Center, N. Y. She was the daughter of Abner and Ger- trude Van Benschoten. Peter Pal- miteer wife and 4 children removed to Wisconsin about 1855 and locat- . ed In Springvale, Columbia Co. Later . they removed to Beaver Dam, Dodge Co., Wis. Eldest daughter supposed- ly remained in . New York state : when the family came west. Other Palmiteer families locating in Co- in the Hudson, Schoharle and Mo .. lumbia county about 1855 were John hawk valleys built their houses of . and wife Elizabeth of New York and Francis and wife Catherine, of Co- , bleskill, Schoharie Co., N. Y. What is the connection of these families ?
Census of 1860 gives Peter as re- siding Springvale, Columbia Co., Francis in Centralia, Wood o., John, Cortland, Columbia Co. and a Madi- son as Randolhp, Columbia Co. All Invented a greater myth than some were born in New York state.

THE MYTH AND REALITY OF THE LOG CABIN
You may recall that during last December and January that the En- FLOWER, Etc. terprise and News published my ar- ticle on "The Myth and Reality of the Log Cabin." However that may ; burn, Dec., 1947, emigrated with his be I was quite pleased to pick up the New York Times Book Rexiew of November 16, 1947 and read. an extract from the recently published book "The Great Forest," by Prof. ily located on . Aaron Whitney's lands, Richard G. Lillard of the University of California in which the following paragraph appears:
"As it happened, our chief colonizing natlons -France, Eng- land and Holland-were those in which forests had long since "de-, clined into insignificance, and their colonists numbered few woodsmen among them. Our- forest tradition thus came to stem largely from non-dominant groups, such as the Germans (Palatines), Swedes and Finns So we have the ludicrous spec- tacle of early New Englanders ::. laboriously sawing and hewing clapboards; only later did the knowledge of how to construct a log cabin radiate outward from . the Swedish/ settlements-on the Delaware."
It does. bolster one's vanitay to have such confirmation. from such an eminent authority, as Prof. Lillard but previous to writing that article I had familiarized myself with; the writings of Prof. Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker of the University of Pennsylvania, the late Harold R. :Shurtleff of the Williamsburg, Vir- ginia "Restoration," architects Fiske

Well does the writer remember visiting, more than fifty years ago, the rallroad yard at Middleburgh, Mrs. W. E. Morris, N.

Palatines Along the Mohawk and Their Church in the Wilderness
By Ada L. F. Snell
Enterprise and News of St. Johns- ville, N. Y., a press that for years has published various historical doc- uments, family genealogies and church histories, is publishing Pala- tines Along the Mohawk and Their Church in the Wilderness. The book- let describes the character of the Palatines, their trials, their battles in the New World, the spirit in which they built their churches and laid foundations for a free world in the valley. Dr. Ada L. F. Snell is a descendant of the Smell family, her grandfather was Conrad P. Snell of . Stone Arabia, her mother Sarah Fonda of Fonda, N. Y. Miss Sneli was born in Geneva, N. Y. is an alumna of Mount Holyoke College, has heid various fellowships and done graduate work at Yale, Michigan and Oxford. For many years she was a member of the Department of Eng- fish, serving her Alma Mater at times as chairman. She was presi- dent of the New England Associa- tion of Teachers of English and has held other executive offices, is the editor of Riverside Essays, of two volumes of Mounty Holyoke College Verse, and has written various ar- ticles for magazines. In 1942 she was awarded the Mary Lyon Medal of Honor, and cited as 'one of the |always up to that of the "Boston great teachers in the Mounty Ho- iyoke tradition whose concern with the growth of young minds was bound up with her gift in teaching the art of writing."' Miss Snell is retired, but according to Robert Frost "unretirable," and lives busily occupied in South Hadley, Mass. Miss Snell's booklet, just as it was ready for final printing, was de-
stroyed in the tragic explosion in August, of the Enterprise and News press, an accident which proved fatal to Staniey K. Iverson, the gifted - young publisher and editor. Through the efficient aid of the staff her iittie book was salvaged together with its fine pictures of old Pala- tine churches. ,
Much has been written about the Mohawk Valley but the emphasis has usually been on the Dutch and English settlers. The sources of ma-' terial for the Palatines are scanty, and no figure of national statuure arose from among them. Also the section occupied by the Palatines is oniy a small part of New York State; it is, however, a part of the- so-called old frontier which extend- ed from Manheim straight south to- Georgia-all a part of this same- German migration. Even if the num- ber of square miles settled by the. Palatines . in New York is smail; nevertheless so sturdy and prolific were they that many thousands scattered all over the United States: trace their ancestry back to this: secion of the Mohawk Valley. In writing of it Miss Snell obviously did. not set out to add to our knowledge but rather to stir interest in the part these immigrants played in co- ionial days, in their character, not
Saints," and in the preservation of the old churches they built, the in- fluence of which determined the 80- cial and political concepts that shap- ed the American way of life.
The book is now in the process of printing and will be on the mar- ket shortly. Those who have ordered copies will receive them as soon as they are released.

The Deserted Village of Mexico
By S. C. Kimm
1 Attempts to Pilot Friend Over Boyhood Road
One of my boyhood friends, John Rice, who about 80 years ago lived on the Mexico road asked me to pilot him over this road to the scenes of his early childhood, so one day in the summer of 1937, in com-,

But to return to our trip. We left old Lizzie at a point just west of the Curtis cemetery and attempted to retrace' the Mexico' road over which John and I went barefoot in the long ago. Only here and there could we see any place where it looked as though there had been a public highway at some time -or an- other. The old road and the ' one time fertile meadows were overrun with worthless ' scrub, pin cherry and poplars. The home of the 100 year old man, Davis, not only was gone but we could not find the site. All we could find.of Uncle Ephraim Comstock's home was the cellar, a dilapidated lilac bush and some scrub apple trees. Standing ' here my mind went back nearly 70 years and I could once more see Uncle Ephraim and Aunt Lottle with an old tin lan- tern punched full of holes with a tallow candle inside going through the woods to prayer meeting in the
more Bili and Eb returning from the war and Lant Darling taking from that home his black eyede bride. A feeling of sadness stole over me at the thought that that old couple,
are dead and gone. What courage it took to found a home in that wil- derness. What ideals that Christian couple planted in the minds of their children; Ideals that are coming to fruition in the third and fourth gen- erations living at the present time. Yes, some of these descendants are among the leading social workers here in Herkimer village today.
With these reflections I led my little party farther north. We soon found the road grown fuli of, tag alders' and other worthless under-
