Delance's Mil's.
On the 14th of September, General Washington retreated from New York city to King's Bridge, now Harlem. From the Pennsylvania Archives, I learn that Delance's Mills were 3 miles from King's Bridge.
This book has the following entries: DELANCE'S CAMP, 17th Sept , 1776.
I then rec'd from Col. Dullam, Payy master of the Flying Camp, 1,500 dollars. At the same time rec'd from him for Keighline's Battalion, 500 dollars.
250 | paid to Lieut. Martain & took his receipt & the other 250 I have yet.
Elsewhere appears Lieut. Martiu's re- ceipt, as follows:
CAMP AT DELANCY'S MILLS, Sept. 27, 1776.
Rec'd of Lieut. Col. Wm. Hay 250 dollars, equal to £93, 153, for the use of Capt. Arudt's Co., of Flying Camp, from Northampton Co., Pa. For which I promise to be accounta le.
JOSEPH MARTIN, Lieutenant.
Irving says that Keighline's Rifles rein . forced Lord Stirling at Long Island.
At Delance's Mills, at different dates up to September 30th, Captains Clark, Reed, Graeff and Lieutenants Sterl, Allen and Myer, receipt for pay for their com. panies.
King's Bridge.
Their next camp was near King's Bridge, where receipts were signed Oc- tober 14th and 16th.
On the 5th this entry is made: "NEW BRUNSWICK, 5th Oct., 1776.
"Then rec'd from Col. Dullam the sum of 3, 100 dollars." From there Mr. Hay seems to have gone to Perth Ambcy, as on the same day, Oct. 5th. Jno. Cillgrent receipts to him at Perth Amboy for "the sum of 3 pounds, part pay."
At "camp near King's Bridge," Cap- tains Graeff, Clark, Reed, Myer and Lieutenant Mccullough and Major Ed- wards receipt for money.
The strength of the companies at this time. as indicated by the abstract. was: Clark's Co, 53 privatex; Reed's, 36; Green's, 34; Watson's, 57; Myer's 67; each having 4 sergeants and 4 corporals. Each has a drummer. Some of the com- panies have 2 c ptains-for example, Captain Klatz and Captain Myer, Cap- tains Watson and Steel, Captains Clark and Hay. Reed's, Clark's and Green's companies have each 3 heutenants.
Possibly some of these were carried on these rolls while on detached service.
Washington's Retreat
Page 446 says: On the 12th of No- vember General Washington crossed the Hudson and sent some of his troops to Hackensack. I find here this note:
"Nov. 13th. 1776. Chen in Hacken- sack town paid to Lieut Allen 40 dol lars."
At Philadelphia.
General Putnam was sent to Philadel- phia to prepare for its defense against an expected attack. Did this battalion go with him? I ind here the following en. tries:
PHILADELPHIA, 10th Dec 1776.
Paid to Capt. Jno. Reed 390 dollars; to Capt. Clark, 460 dollars; to Lieut. Wilson, 360 dollars; to Lieut. Mc. Cullough, 390 dollars; to Capt. Mver, 460 dollars, and to Capt. Graeff, 460 dollars.
Page 510 of the volume before quoted says that when Washington was prepar. ing for the attack on Treuton, "symp- toms of insurrection in Phila. obliged Putnam to remain with some force in

that city, but he detached 5 or 600 under Col. Griffin."
That this battalion of the Flying Camp was kept in the city we learn from the fact that they were there on the 27th of Dec. The battle of Trenton was fought on the 26 of Dec.
PHILADELPHIA, 27th Dec., 1776. By virtue of an order from Major General Putnam, I rec'd from Mean & Caldwell the sum of 1,200 dollars for the use of Captains Oldenbrig. Work and Mc. Kowan's companies, of Col. James Cun- ningham's Regiment.
WM. HAY, Lieutenant Colonel.
On the same day Capt. Joseph Work receipts for 400 dollars. (apt. Daniel Oldenbrush for 303 and Major Edwards for 400 for Capt. John MeKowan's Co, "the Capt. refusing to receive it because the whole is not paid." Surgeon Wm. Smith receipts on the same day. There is nothing here to indicate that the above mentioned 3 companies were at New York. Though the record may be torn out.
End of Their Service.
Speaking of the embarrassment of Washington's retreat, Irving savs, "The terms of enlistment of the Flying Camp were expiring." There occurs here the following undated receipt: "Rec'd from Col. James Cunningham the sum of 46 pounds, being bounty for my company of the Flying Camp from the county of Lancaster, that has engaged to stay in service until the 1st of January next en- suing. GEORGE GRAEFF, Captain.
Elsewhere occurs a list of 8 soldiers, at the head of which is Serg. Lawrence Dowling, given as "all that remains of Capt. Graeff's Co., Jan 1st, 1776." Most likely 1777 is intended, a not unusual mistake at the end of the year, as I find this also: "Phila , 28 Dec., '76: Cash paid to Lawrence Dowling, of Capt. Graell's Co , 9 dollars."
In Sept., 1780, Andrew Rodgers re- ceipts to Col. Hay for 12 pounds, pay due him from Aug., 27, '76, to Jan. 6th, '77.
On the 6th of Jan., '77, John Graham receipts for £10 17s as pay due him "from the time I was taken prisoner until Jan. 6th, '77."
Pay.
In the pay abstract of Capt. John Reed's Co. the pay is given as follows:
Captain, £10 per month; Lieutenant, £6 15s; Sergeant. £3; Corporal, £3 15s; Drummer, $2 159; Private, £2 10s
From another abstract I learn that the pay of a Major was about £12 10s per month, and that of Lieutenant Colonel about £18.
Promotions.
In the pay abstract of Oct. 7th, 1776, Wm. Hay draws pav for 20 days as Major and 37 days as Lieut. Col.
On the 28th of Sept. Wm. Steel re- ceipts as lieutenant and on the 14th of Oct, as captain.
On the 27th of Sept. Ludwick Myer receipts as lieutenant and on the 16th of Oct. as captain.
On the 7th of Oct. Lieut. Hay draws pay as lieutenant and also for 3 days as captain.
The earliest date here given in connee- tion with this battalion of the Flying Camp is Aug. 8th, 1776. The latest given is Jan. 6th, 1777.
Rations.
Salt provisions-per man per day, 1 pound of beef, 14 pounds of bread and 1 gill of whisky.
Fresh provisions-per man, 1 pound of beef, 14 pounds of bread, 1 gill of whisky, 1 gill of salt to 7 men per day. The whisky was both salt and fresh.

The only mention of dress is in the following: "Yellow plu h, white feath- ers, velvet, red fcather, velvet with trim- mnings for both, spangled with silver bas- ket buttons. The above bundle belongs to Maj. Thos. Edwards and Capt. James Grier."

The Scotch pronunciation of the ramc Hay was as if spelled H-i-g-h.
As the family has long since dis appeared from Dauphin county, the name Hay is confounded with Hays and Hayes. Evidently this Wm. Hay is the man whose rame occurs on page 80 of Dr. Egle's History of Daughin county as first lieutenant of Capt Jacob Cook's company in 1775. He had two sisters aud two brothers known of. Mrs. Crouch, a sister, had no children; Mrs. Jean Robinson, a sister, had a son, An drew, who went to the west. His brothers' names were Matthew and John, whose names have been given above, one a lieutenant in Capt Clark's compary.
The Rev L. G. Hay, D. D., who wa: a missionary of the Presbytersan church in India at the breaking out of the Sepoy rebellion and is now president of a young ladies' college in Terre Haute, Indiana, is descended from Matthew.
All the fa» ily seem to have gone west in the early part of this century, some to Indiana, others to Illinois.
William Hay had four daughters and one son. The son, John Duffield Hay, went to Erie. Penna., where he lived for a timc and was captain of a military company. In 1803 he settled in Vin- cennes, Iudiana, and was with Gen. Harrison in the battle of Tippecanoe. He was a merchant, and an elder in the Presbyterian church of Vincennes until his death in 1840.
Before me is a letter to his father writ ten in 1811, addressed to Win. Hay, "near Palmyra, Dauphin Co."
Col. Hay died in 1813. A grand- daughter yet living remembers to have
seen the funeral procession start tor Derry church yard.
His grave is unmarked.

JOHN MARTIN MACK'S JOURNAL OF A VISIT TO ONONDAGA IN 1752.
III.
[With this number we conclude the very interesting Jour al of Bishop Mack.]
Wednesday, August 23 .- In the after- noon, a chief came to inform us that at
noon the Council would meet in the hut where we lodged, which it did. There were about thirty present, among whom were four Senecas. the Cayuga chief, the rest belonging to Onondaga. We were placed next to the Cayuga chief as Bro. David understood their language best, to whom he told the object of our visit and explained the strings of wampum. Then he desired the Council to attend, and tak- ing the first string of wampum he sang in the Indian manner the names of all our bretbren, mentioning at the same time Bro. Johanan (40) as a great and mighty man. "These men" he continued, "are sent by Bro. Johanan, T'girhitontie (41), T'garihontie (42), Anuntschie (43)
and the rest of the Brethren on this side and the other side of the Great. Water, to bring good words to the Six Nations. They know that the chiefs of the Aquanoschioni will take all in good pari." Then the string of wampum was hung on a pole with the usual "Ju- heh !" of all present.
The second string of wampum was- then taken up. "Gallichwio," (44) he continued, "bad 'gone home,' and that. the Brethren would let the Six Nations know how dear he was to us, that we loved him much and them also, that he. loved the Indians very much, that we were unwilling to part with him, but we knew that he was gone to God, whom he loved much and therefore we did not grieve (45) That we would liked to have brought the message sooner, but that several of onr chiefs had gone over the Great Water." This string was also hung on the pole and the Council sung "Jehh n!"
362
Historical and Genelogicaal.
The third string was then held up and he sang as follows: "That T'girhitontie, Anuntschi and Anonsacharie (46), who was present, had returned from over the Great Waters and brought salutations T'garihontie (47) and Johanan his fa- ther."
Our message being ended we de- livered our presents to the Cayuga chief when he announced: "T'girhitontie, An- untschiand his brethren had sent presents. These were two pieces of linen, each 22 yards, some thread and tobacco. Being a present they were laid upon a blanket. They conferred together, when two ser- Vants took the presents and divided them into three parts. Then a chief arose, gave one part to the Cayugas, another to the Senecas and the third to the Ononda gas, which was sub divided, one part for Upper and one for Lower Onondaga. .Our strings of wampum were divided in the same manner, whereupon the whole was confirmed with a loud "Juheh !" We were then informed that the chiefs would meet and consider our message, and that they would give us an answer to day. They then took leave, shaking hands with us all.
About four o'clock the Council again assembled. We were again requested to sit aside of the Cayuga chief, after which he took a string of wampum in his hand and lifted it aloft, saying ; "We have heard and understood that our Bro. T'gir- hitontie, Anuntschi and Gallichwio, with those over the Great Water, among whom there is a great man, who has the affairs of the Brethren in hand, send good words tothe Aquanoschioni. Breihren we have heard and understand all. We are glad and thankful that they have sent Ga nachgagregat (48), Anouseracheri, and the white brother (49) { Rundt]. It re- joices us to hear that thou and thy Brethren, arc well and sit in peace by your fires." Then he handea to us the string of wampum.
Taking up the second string he con- tinued: "T'girhitontie, thou and thy Brethren and those of the Great Water inform us that our and your brother, .Gallichwio, went home a year ago. Now Bro. T'girhitontie ! the Aquanunschioni say to thee, use thy best endeavors to find us such another person among thy
Brethren, for- we know that Gallich wio truly loved the Aquanunschioni, in whose heart was no guile." This was confirmed by the whole Council with a "Juheh !" The string of wampum was then handed to us.
With the third string in his hand he continued: "Bro. T'girbitontie thou hast let us know that together with other Brethren thou hast been over the Great Water and art now come back, and hast brought salutations from our Bro. T'gari- hontie and his father Jobanan. Thou must salute them from us, the united Six Nations. Bro. '1'girhitontie thou hast also assured us that the brotherhood betwixt us and you stands fast, and you hold it fast. We also hold it fast. [Here the speaker locked his hands together and lifred them up, showing how firmly they kept the covenant. ] Thus minded were all the chiefs of the Six Nations," which was confirmed by all present. Then the string was delivered to us.
Next he related that Bro. Gallich wio two years ago made a proposition for two Brethren to live among them in order to learn their language, "And as thou Bro. T'girhitontie and thy Brethren have again taken this matter in hand, we think wisely, and have sent Bro. Anouseracheri and bis white brother whose name we do not know (Rundt). We are pleased and think that a good work is set on foot thereby. It shall be as you desire, as all the chiefs are of the same mind. The two Brethren shall live a couple of years among us and learn the language that we may tell one another the thoughts of our hearts. Then they may go to the Cayugas and reside there some months and also to the Senecas." When he concluded a string of wampum was handed to us and the whole matter was confirmed with three "Juhehs !" in which we joined. It was suggested that the two Brethren should visit the houses in the town and when- ever they have the opportunity to con- verse with the Indians. When the Coun- cil meets they may attend so as to learn the ways and manners of the Indians in propounding any matter, that when the Brethren have a message for them, they may know how to deliver it. The chiefs inquired where we wished thetwo Broth-

ren to live while they'reside in Onondaga? We replied : "We have not thought much about it hut leave it to them and take their advice." "It is well," said they, "for we have not considered about it, but will do so soon and give you an auswer before Ganachragregat goes away." They also spoke of the main. tenance of the Brethren and said : "If the Brethren will frequently visit the houses they will be supplied with victuals, but especial care shall be taken of them where they lodge." When all was concluded the servants brought in two kettles of boiled Indian corn. when we ate socially together.
We have thus far been very well and happy, and have not seen on any one a dark look nor heard a contrary word. They have acted towards us in a brotherly manner, and even the children are quite free with us. We wished that our breth . ren who are engaged in the work among the Heathen could have been present at the Council. The Watch words and Texts have been uncommonly suitable.
Thursday, August 24 .- This morning we were visited by several Indians from the next town, five miles distant from here (50.) Some of them were present at the Council The women were friendly, invited us to come to their town and gave us apples (51 ) Our friends, the Seneca chiefs, returned home to day. Their names are Thagachtatie, Julchco- tanne, Ataneckenni, Thojanoric; the Ca yugas, Giottononannie. The names of the Onondaga chiefs are Otschinochiatha, "the Thick;"' Ganatschiagajio, (53), and where we lodged, Garachguntie. In Lower Onondaga are these chiefs: Zir. gonna, Ganochronia, and the Tuscarora Thequaliscbki.
Friday, August 25 .- Our matters be- ing so far advanced, we consulted together about the return of Bro. Mack to Bethle- hem. The head chief sent for us, as he had something further to speak about. When we entered his hut he bade us sit down, and asked if Ginegacbregat would leave to-day. We told him that he would and that we would accompany him to Anajot and then return. He then stid ; "Very well, we have spoken together concerning the residence for the two Brethren, and as soon as they return they
may select, a house to their own mind, for the doors of all stand open. They have full liberty to go where they will and live where they please." We thanked him and then retired. In the afternoon we visited the chiefs and many of the Indians in their huts, and the chief with whom we live ordered some food pre- pared for us.
Two hours before sun down Bro. Mack set out for Bethlehem, with Bro David and Rundt who go part of the way. When we had walked six miles we came to a fine creek (54), by which we camped for the night. Bro. David caught eight fine trout, which we ate for our supper. Before retiring for the night we kept a. happy "singing hour"-the watchword for the day being-"The people that do. know their God, shall be strong and do exploits."
Saturday, August 26 .- This morning we started early hoping to reach Anajot, which is 45 miles from Onondaga, hy dusk. The chief there called us into his hut and treated us to squashes and pump -- kins. After finishing our meal, we con- tinuel on our journey, passing several houses and meeting some Indians. Two hours before night we reached Ganatis- goa, the second Tuscarora town, but found most of the Indians from home in quest of roots. At evening we came near to Anajot, but as we wished to be alone together, we selected an agreeable spot and remained there all night. We kept a blessed Lord's Supper together and then retired to rest.
Sunday, August 27 .- Having rested well we arose early and sang some verses. After passing through Anajot, we came- to a hill about a quarter of a mile beyond where we rested. Here we must part. We sang some verses, wept like . hildren and blessed one another-so we parted. Bro. David and Rundt on their return. will visit in Anajot and the Tuscarora towns. My eyes all day long were not very dry and I cannot express what I felt at parting with my two Brethren! By night. I reached Kash's.
Monday, August 28 .- To day I remain here (Kash's) and visited the Oneidas who live hereabouts. Some of the chiefs were very friendly, gave me something to eat and asked why I left my compan

ions. When I informed them, they gave me to understand by friendly looks their satisfaction.
