Capt. Andrew Montour died prior to 1775, and tradition has it, says Isaac Craig,

Historical and Genealogical.

on Montour's Island. "Ihave always been told," writes the latter, "that Andrew Montour died there and have had his grave pointed out Although I know of no written authority for it, I am certain that the tradition must be truc."

Captain Andrew Montour was twiee married; first to a granddaughter of Al- lummapees, king of the Delawares, and they had

2. Mary Magdalene, alias Peggy, Al though baptized in her carly youth by a Roman Catholic priest in Philadelphia, she subsequently joined the Moravian Indian congregation at Salem, on the Pc- quotting. In Bishop De Sehweinitz's Life and Times of David Zeisberger(p. 621) we have this statement in regard to her; "One of the latest converts who aecom- panied him [from New Salem on the Ohio to Sandusky] was a sister of Andrew Montour. She was a living polyglot of the tongues of the West, speaking the Eng- lish, French, Mohawk, Wyandot, Ottawa, Chippewa, Shawanese, and Dela ware lan. guages." Her last husband(she had been previously married. ) was a white trader named Hands, and on marrying him she was called Sally Hands. After Hand's death she resided among the whites at the mouth of the Thamcs, in Canada, maintained by her son, a merchant in Montreal. She died about 1818. Sally Hands' Indian . name was Kovodaghscroony; her baptis- mal name Mary Magdalene, and Peggy her Moravian name. She has been eonfounded with Peggy who interpreted at the Lan . caster treaty in February, 1760, and who resided in the vicinity of Fort Stanwix in 1764. She was evidently a different per- son.

iż. John; born in 1744, as it is stated that in 1756 he was twelve years of age. He was educated at the Philadelphia Acad- emy, as also the other children of An- drew Montour, at the expense of the Pro- vince of Pennsylvania, and under the eare of Gov. Robert Hunter Morris. IIe eom- manded a company of Delaware Indians in 1782, serving under Col. Brodhead, in the Western Department, and was dis- tingished for his valor, as also his stead- fast friendship to the cause of the colonies. After the murder of the Moravians and the Delaware Indians in the scrviee of Congress on Smoky Island, John Montour's

family resided on Montour's Island for a time. He was living in 1789, but there is nothing further.

Andrew Montour, by a second wife, (Sarah, ) had three children. We have the name of

iii. Nicholaus; baptized in Albany. Octo- ber 31.1756. At this period it seems that Andrew Montour was interpreter to His Majesty for the Six Nations and in the ser- viec of Sir William Johnson. (Gen. John S. Clark. )

V. LEWIS MONTOUR, a younger brother of Andrew Montour, was occasionally employed by the Provincial authorities in the capacity of messenger. Among the Indians at the Treaty at Carlisle in Oe- tober 1753, appears the name of " Tauweson, Andrew Montour's brother." This was no doubt the Indian name of Lewis Mon- tour. ( See Col. Rec. v. p. 685.) In 1754 he resided near Aughwick Old Town, where Conrad Weiser complained of his disturbing the Indians by bringing liquor to them. "They cannot help buying and drinking it," repeats the interpreter, "when they see it, and Lewis sells it, very dear to them, and pretends that his wife, which is a very ugly squaw, does it." In December 1759 he was present at an Indian Conference in Philadelphia, acting as an interpreter. He was killed during the French and Indian war, but how or where, we have no knowledge.

VI. ESTHER, the daughter of French Margaret, and who has been confounded with her sister, Quecn Catharine, by Los- ing and other writers, was undoubtedly the most infamous of all the Montours. She was the wife of Echogohund, king of the Monsey Delawares, and at his death became the queen. She resided at She- shequin, on the site of the present Ulster, Bradford county, Pennsylvania. In the Wyoming expedition of July, 1778, she commanded a company of warriors, and at the massacre on the 3d of the month she was the most infuriated demon in that carnival of blood. On the preceding day one of the Indians slain at Exeter was her son, and this may have increased her hellish fcroeity. In the autumn of the same ycar, Col. Thomas Hartley de- stroyed the village at Sheshequin, and burned her residenee, which writers have faneifully denominated "a palaee." She

Historical and Genealogical.

died about the commencement of the pres- ent century, very aged and decrepid, it is stated, at her residence at the head of Cayuga Lake.

VII. CATHARINE MONTOUR was none the less conspicious than the other female Montours. Her husband's English name was Thomas Huston, or Hndson, (see Penna. Archiv., Ist ser., vol. iii, p. 558,) whose brother John, alias Eyendeegen, is mentioned in the Pennsylvania Colonial Records (col. viii, p. 151). In 1758 they had five or six children, so stated by Con- rad Weiser. Queen Catharine resided in Jater years at the head of Seneca Lake, four miles from the village of Cnlvers, called Sheaquaga, or as generally known, French Catharinc's Town. This village was destroyed by Gen. Sullivan, in 1779. Queen Catharine fled to Niagara, where she died a year or two after. It has been so stated by Lossing and Reichel, and that she was eighty years of age. If that was the case, Qucen Catharine could not have been the grand daughter of Madame Montour. In the Provincial records sbe is named Cate and Catrina. The reputed children of Catharine Montour, of which we have knowledge, werc:

i. Roland.

ii. John; sometimes called "Stutter- ng John.'

iii. Belle.

It is stated by Canadian, and also by United States writers, on the anthority of the correspondence of Edward Pollard, now in the possession of the Historical Society of St. Catharine's, C. W., that Edward Pollard was the father of the foregoing children. If this is correct, they were not those of Catharine, the daugliter of French Margaret. Her hus- band was, as previously given, and on the authority of our Pennsylvania Pro- vincial Records, Thomas Hndson, alias Telenemut, a noted chief of the Senecas. The question now resolves itself into, "Who was the mother of Roland, John and Belle Montour, " here noted? If not Catharine, conld it be Molly Montour?

ROLAND MONTOUR and his brother John were active participants in the border war during the struggle for Inde- pendence, and always on the side of the British, holding commissions therefrom. These two were the leaders of the band

who captured the Gilbert family in 1780 ; Roland as captain, John as second in com- mand. Roland was wounded in a skir- mish with the frontier settlers of Penn- sylvania and New York, in 1781, and died therefrom. He was buried at or near Painted Post. His wife was the daughter of Siangorochti, king of the Senecas, but her mother, being a Cayuga, she was ranked as of that nation. (See Gilbert Narrative.)

"John Montour, che brother of Rol- and," says Gen. Clark, of Auburn, New York, "died at Big Tree, now Geneseo, in 1830. His grave is about a mile from the great oak formerly known as the Big Trce. Both Montours were educated at Elizabeth, New Jersey. W. H. E.

THE FIRST AND PRESENT DEPOTS OF THE HARRISBURG AND LANCAS- TER AND PENNSYLVANIA RAIL- ROADS.

The first depot erected in Harrisburg was by the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad Company about the year 1837, on the present gronnd now occupied by the one built by the Pennsytrania. It was a plain brick building about one hundred feet in length by fifty in breadth, one story in heighth, with shingle roof, the gable end fronting Market street. It was occupied by the offices of the company. the trains arriving and departing outside of the building. As it was the terminus of the road, passengers and baggage for the West were transferred to the packet canal boats, whose wharf was just above the

Historical and Genealogical.

bridge at the foot of Market street, during the boating season ; and when that ended, the passengers were taken by the Cum- berland Valley Railroad to Chambers. burg, and from thence to Pittsburgh by stage, until the construction of the Penn- sylvania Railroad westward in 1848 or 1849.

The Pennsylvania railroad company continued to occupy the old depot until the erection of the present one in 1857. At this time it was one of the hand- somest in the State. J. C. Hoxie of Phil- adelphia, a prominent architect, drew the plans, and was contractor and builder, as- associated with the late Stephen D. Mc Calla of Harrisburg, who was a prominent bricklayer. The tall tower at the north end was used lookout by an employee who could distinguish a passenger train when crossing the bridge over the Susquelianna at Rockville coming East. (This was prior to the estab lishment of the present telegraph system on railroads.) When the lookout saw the train crossing the bridge from the West, he came down and reported to the superintendent, which was communi- cated to the waiting passengers. The tower on the left side contained a large bell, that superseded a smaller one which was on the old depot, and was rung for the arrival and departure of trains, until the present system of tele graphing was adopted. This bell was given to one of the fire companies of the city.

Former railroading and modern rail- roading were entirely different. The wheels of the cars formerly used required oiling at nearly every station, or cvery ten or twelve miles, and the small loco- motives then in use consumed wood in- stead of coal, and required supplies fre quently. The conductors, or as they were called agents, assisted in replenishing the wood and oiling the cars. Two'trains a day, previous to the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad were sufficient to convey all who wished to go, either to Philadelphia, or down the Cumberland Valley. The morning train East leaving at eight o'clock A. M. contained two pas- senger and one freight car, and conveyed all passengers arriving from the West who had come by packet boat or on

the Cumberland Valley cars, arriving in Philadelphia in five hours. The second train left at 2 o'clock p. M. with one passenger car, having a compartment at one end for baggage. Supper was taken at Downingtown at the hotel kept by a prince of landlords, Mr. Eicholtz.

The rails on the Harrisburg and Lancas- ter and Cumberland Valley roads were laid with fiat bars spiked with wood stringers, which kept all who sat over the wheels in constant dread of being killed or maimed by a rail, or "snake's head" as they were called, being forced up through the car; (as the half angled and becoming loose from the wood was caught by the wheel and forced up through the car, and to remedy which the floor of the cars over the wheels were laid with plank. Passengers could either procure ticket at the office or pay the con- ductor in the cars.

One of the first and for many years a conductor on the Cumberland Valley Railroad was MajorMcCartney, a descend- ant of one of the Scotch Irish families of the valley-a jovial good natured fel- low, who, when he had taken all tickets and collected the fare from his passengers, would get his violin and entertain them on the journey, he being a good violinist, and thus became very popular with all who traveled on his train.

One great impediment with the running of trains during the winter season, was snow. The engines were small, having but two driving wheels, (the - modern cow catchers and snow plows being un- known,) with split hickory brooms fas- tened in front of the truck wheels of the locomotives, which were only apologies in clearing the rail of snow and obstruc- tions. The writer has known passenger cars on the Cumberland Valley road, forty years ago, to be delayed all night at the Mansion House hotel on the corner of Second and Mulberry streets by snow six inches in depth, the passengers re- maining at the hotel all night. The same difficulty, it is presumed, occurred on other roads from the same cause. The Cumber- land Valley railroad company can claim the credit of introducing the first sleep- ing cars on their road and also providing a covering on their locomotives to pro- tect engineers and firemen from the in-

clement weather, as the engines were built without any protection for the men. Those first placed on the Cumberland Valley railroad were not the comfortable cabs now used, but were made of oil.cloth stretched upon wooden supports.

THE PAXTANG BANDITTI.

The 10th Company, 2nd Battalion, '98th Regiment of Pensylvania Militia, - better known among military men, fifty years ago, as the "Banditi"'-was com- posed of the men under forty-five years of age, living in the southern half of Lower Paxtang and a portion of the east- ern half of Swatara townships. The com- pany met twice a year. The Spring or "Little Muster" was held in a field on what is now the Grove Farm, and attracted few spectators, as no other Military organiza- tion was present. The Fall or "Big Muster," at which the whole Battalion was present, was held at Linglestown and was the grand gala-day of the year, pre- sided over, conjointlyby Mars and Bacchus with more or less assistance from the Muses of Music and Dancing. The com- pany officers were elected by ballot, and their term of service was seven years. The commanding officers from the beginning of the Mexican War,- (which event marked the virtual close of the old militia system)- were William Rutherford, Joshua Shaffer, Daniel Shell, John P. Rutherford, Abner Rutherford and Jacob Reigle : of these, none are now living save Abner Rutherford. The rank and file were largely made up of broad-bot- tomed, hard-headed Dutchmen of the drowsy, sleepy-hollow type, who believed in ghosts and hard work, were fond of playing ball and pitching horse-shoes on Sunday, (there being no time for such things on week days) and who were bitterly opposed to education, fearing that thereby the children would be rendered "proud" and lazy.

There were various holidays during the year, such as Good Friday, Ascension day, &c., observed much in the same man- ner as Sunday, but there were two special occasions, when the sturdy Teuton laid aside his usual stolidity and appcared in new and different characters. "Fair-day" and "Battalion day." On "Fair-day"

he donned his Sunday clothes, and, in gay and festive mood, sought the lady of his love, and repaired with her to Har- risburg, where the day was spent walk- ing about, with little fingers hooked, seeing the sights and eating gin- ger bread and molasses, On "Battalion day," his mind was warlike, and he marched to the muster with features rigid, "nostrils distended and eyes roll- ing," after the manner of Ossian's heroes, prepared to settle the accumulated scores of the year, for it was universally under- stood that all fights should be postponed until the "Battalia," when fair play was guaranteed and "the toughest skin held out the longest." "These were times !Mr. Rigmarole." These were the good old times, when men could freely use their fists, without being afterward devoured by the hungry sharks of the law.

William Orth, whose names appears in the following roll as first sergeant, had marched to Baltimore, was a good officer, and was frequently called upon to serve in that capacity-but the position was much sought after, and was often filled by men whose ignorance of mili- tary tactics, was only equaled by their unskilfulness in the pronuncia- tion of names. Much amusement was at times afforded bythe blunders ofthese men and especially by their efforts at calling the roll when new names were upon it; When John Collier appeared for the first time the officer, after look- ing at the name in various lights, at length mastered it and called out in a loud and confident voice "Schon Gulcher;" but he was not so for- unate with Bartholomew Von Peppersoll. After repeated failures, the latter half of the name was dropped, and all cffort con- centrated on the first half, and the result was "Bottolmy," to which Mr. V Peppersoll always responded. Von

The company received its title of "Banditti " from the following circum- stance : During Capt. William Ruther- ford's time, it chanced that on one of the mustering days, his friend and relative Capt. Robert Davison of Union county, was visiting at his house and accompa- nied him to the muster. Capt. Davison professed to be an expert in the military art, and when they reached the field he

was invited to take charge of the exercises, which he did. He threw in several new kinks which somewhat bewildercd our worthy Dutchmen, and when at length the order to "advance backward" was given, the demoralization was complete. Now when a Pennsylvania German becomes demoralized, he takes com- mon ground with other races, and swears. The company therefore, for the moment, strongly resembled the "Army in Flanders." Davison, who was a cool-headed man and something of a wag, enjoyed the scenc hugely; and when the storm had somewhat subsided, made a short spcech, in which he cxpressed himself as much pleased with the com- pany, and declared that their last perfor- mance would do honor to a company of Banditti. The captain's remarks, owing to a slight misconception of their mean- ing, werc received by the men as a high compliment to their soldierly qualitics- good humor was at once restored, and the company has ever since been tradi- tionally known as "the Banditti."
