Censuses: 1790 US: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/census/mohawk1790.html; 1790 Census, Montgomery County, MohawkTown (it would appear that Philip was relatively prosperous with two "slaves" working with him presumably at his mill): 1st No.-Free white males over 16 years 2nd No.-Free white males under 16 years 3rd No.-Free white females 4th No.-All other free persons 5th No.-Slaves *illegible Brittain, Abraham - 1-2-5-0-0 [Abraham Brinton?] Frederick, Francis - 1-3-3-0-0 Frederick, Peter - 1-3-5-0-0 Frederick, Philip - 1-0-1-0-2 Marlet, Michael - 1-1-4-0-0 Mower, Hendrick - 1-1-1-0-0 VanHorn, Cornelius - 2-2-5-0-0 VanHorn, Thomas - 1-1-5-0-* 1800 US: Township of Florida, Montgomery County, New York (copied from Worldconnect: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/census/florida1800.html): Frederick, Philip - Males: 1@10-16, 1@16-26, 1@26-45, 1@45+; females: 1@16-26, 1@26-45; no other free persons or slaves. 2. The Phillip Frederick home built ca. 1750 with accompanying water powered mill still exists at Wellsville, Florida Township, Montgomery Co., New York. It is on county road 143 on the east bank of the Schoharie River between Mill Point and Young Corners. There is a State historical marker and sign marking the site. From the sign, head west down the little lane and the last white house on the left is the Frederick home with new siding. The present owner is Jim Squillace as of Sept. 2007 The Francis Saltz home is on the same road heading north across highway 161 onto Lang Road to the end of the Road. The Halcyon Farm/Bed and Breakfast is the current name of the property. Part of the Halcyon building is the original 20' x 20' two story home built by Francis in red brick. He is buried on the property; however, the location of the gravesites has been lost since last reported in the 1920s. My wife and I stayed at the bed and breakfast Sep. 2007. Young Corners is named for the Young family associated with the Fredericks. Directly across the river is property still owned by the Van Hoorn family who were also associated with the families. In the river can still be seen part of the dam understructure for the mill. The current owner of the home reports ghosts in the home with doors opening and closing inexplicably. The river used to be a main thoroughfare including during the Civil War. At one point the home was turned into a small hotel. The main door still faces the river and not the road. Most genealogies report the family lived in Florida, New York. Florida is not a village, but is a township. The Schoharie separates it from the new township to the west: Glen. Millpoint or Wellsville can be found by traveling southwest from Amsterdam, New York on one highway that changes numbers from 30 to 161 until just before the bridge at the Schoharie River. The Frederick mill is on the road to the left and the Saltz home is at the end of Lang Road to the right. I have photos on file of both. Update on April 21, 2026. Revisited both the Saltz and Frederick home. No change on the Saltz property. The correct address for the Frederick home is 115 Herrick Lane. There are new owners in the Frederick home. They say that a major flood occurred in the area due to a hurricane in about 2012 if they recall the date correctly. They thought it might have been Hurricane Irene. Considering the height of the property, it was incredible that the river rose to about three feet above the floor of the house. It destroyed the lower part of the mill race where the wheel was and the two story chicken coop, which was considered one of the better built in the area. The house was saved because the original rock wall of the mill race acted as diversion. The new owners got the house cheaply. The tilting chicken house remains, and the house remains and is occupied. The historic sign was missing at the head of Herrick Road due to a snow plow knocing it over last winter. The new owners tell me they do that every couple years, but eventually the sign gets put back up. 3. The book "Even More Palatine Families, 18th Century Immigrants to the American Colonies and their German, Swiss and Austrian Origins," v. 1, by Henry Z. Jones and Lewis Buncker Rohrbach, copy in Montgomery County, NY, Archives [note that author has an additional two earlier books on the same subject: "The Palatine Families of New York: A Study of the German Immigrants Who arrived in New York in 1710," (1985); "More Palatine Families," (1991), both of which I have reviewed without finding our Fredericks]: "Johann Peter Friederich. Peter Freidrick was naturalized 3 July 1759 (Scott & Stryker-Rodda, p. 29). On 8 Jul 1761, the petition of Peter Frederick was referred (see 'Land Patents' 16:45; also 'New York Colony, Calendar of Council Minutes 1668-1783,' compiled by Berthold Fernow, p. 404). Petter Fredrick was on a tax list of Mohawk in 1766 ('Upstate New York in the 1760s,' by Florence Christoph, p. 129). Johann Peter Frederich and wife Anna Veronica (Phronica) had issue: a. Philip, banns registered to marry 11 Nov 1752 Maria Sophia Salzer/Sals (Schoharie Reformed Chbk). Some of their ch. are found bpt. in the Ogilvie Records, Trinity Church, NY City. Philip Frederick was naturalized 11 Sep 1761 (Scott & Stryker-Rodda, p. 29). Philip Fredrick was on a tax list of Mohawk in 1766 ('Upstate New York in the 1760s,' by Florence Christoph, p. 129). The will of a Philip Frederick of Florida was dated 7 May 1804 (Montgomery Co. Wills Vol. 1). b. Bernhard, bpt. as 'Barent' July 1739 - sp: Barent Vroman and Engel (Fort Hunter Chbk). A Bernhard Friedrich md. 6 Jan 1771 Dorothea Schenck (Stone Arabia Reformed Chbk). c. Anna Magdalena, bpt. June 1741 - sp: Joseph... (Fort Hunter Chbk). d. Johann Jacob, bpt. 5 June 1743 - sp: Hans Huber and Jacob Naef and wife (Fort Hunter Chbk). e. Ludwig (HJ), the Lodewyck Fredrich who md. 31 March 1774 Alida Miller (Caughnawaga Reformed Chbk). f. Frans (HJ), the Frans Fredrick who md. 30 Dec 1774 Susanna Cosaadt (Caughnawaga Reformed Chbk). A chapter on Francis Frederick, b. Aug 1753 at Florida Twp., Montgomery Twp., is to be found in 'The Bloodied Mohawk,' by Ken D. Johnson, p. 410." [Kerry's notes: I have seen the book "The Bloodied Mohawk" in regards to Franz and it only contains information from his pension application, which I already have on file. Please also note that the author incorrectly assigns Frans as a child of Peter - he was a grandson, not a son. In regards to Ludwig, this is the only reference I can find of him whatsoever; there does not seem to be any christening record for him and his being listed a child of Peter is possible and perhaps likely but not proven. Please also note that even though some church records for the Fredericks are found in New York City Church records, this is only because clergymen from those Churches would travel up to "Mohawk" land. Note also that the Fredericks would use varying Protestant Churches in the vicinity depending apparently on which direction they were traveling or where there was a clergyman available to perform the rites.] 4. From the book "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families," by Maryly B. Penrose, v. 1, p. 282, Birth/Baptism: "Frederick, Phillip and Sophia (Salts): Margarita, bapt. 1758 (DRC:2); Sponsors: Pieter Jong and Margariet Jong. Magdalena, bapt. 13 Sep 1761 (DRC:6); Sponsors Willem Jong & Eva Jong. Catrina, bapt. 1764 (note: parents names crossed out in record) (DRC:12); Sponsors Philip Frederick and Sophia Frederick. 5. Sir William Johnson was the Indian Agent and representative for the British Government in the early days of the Mohawk Valley. His fortified stone home still stands on the north shore of the Mohawk River opposite of Fort Hunter and is known as Fort Johnson. It was the center of the British Government's relation with the Indian Six Nations. His biography can be easily found on the Internet. The Montgomery County, NY, Archives has the published 14 volumes entitled "The Papers of Sir William Johnson," published by the Division of Archives and History, 1965, The University of the State of New York, Albany, 1965. The letters are full of the dealings with the various Indian groups as well as his local "associates" among whom we find Peter Frederick and his son Philip. I do not find any references to the Saltzs or Cosaadts. The reference to Philip is as follows (see Johan Peter Frederick's notes for references to him): Vol. 3, p. 357, Seven Years' War, Peter Servis and Others to the Assembly [requesting naturalization as British subjects - this confirms that Phillip was a foreign born Protestant]: "March 10, 1761. To the Honourable, the Representatives of the Colony of New York, this Humble Petition is addressed. We the undernamed, now Inhabitants of the County of Albany, and Province of New York, being by Education and profession Protestants, but of foreign Birth, are desirous of becoming his Majesty's Liege Subjects in this colony, wherefore humbly pray we may have the Benefit of an Act for our Naturalization, and your petitioners as in Duty bound will ever pray. [26 names listed including Adolph Young, Phillip Frederick, and the two Servis brothers Peter and Christian.]" 6. My current thinking is that the earliest Fredericks, Peter and his children, were Palatine immigrants since Peter and his son Philip were naturalized in the 1760s. This is directly contrary to the publication of Alida Reed wherein she purports that they were descendants of a very early Frederick family from the early 1600s of New Amsterdam (present day New York City). The naturalization on the other hand would mean that they were of foreign birth and not English (the English had taken over New Amsterdam in the 1660s). The area was generally Dutch descendants that had moved up from the old New Amsterdam or Palatine immigrants. We do not know exactly when Peter came to America but it was apparently before 1739 judging from the church christening records of his children beginning in 1739. Assuming a 1734 birth for Peter's son Philip and the fact that Philip was also naturalized, then we could assume Peter family's immigration was between 1734 and 1739. The following gives a general account of the Palatines in the next county west of present day Montgomery County. For a more specific account of the Palatines in the Schoharie river area, see the extensive notes with Philip's father Johan Peter. The Burnetsfield Palatines were a specific subgroup of the larger Palatine immigration. Even though it appears the Fredericks were Palatines, they do not appear to be part of the specific Burnetsfield patentees of Herkimer County (part of the original Montgomery County just west of eastern portion of the present Montgomery County in which we find our earliest Fredericks. FHL book 974.761D2G "Early Families of Herkimer County New York, Descendants of the Burnetsfield Palatines," by William V.H. Barker, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1986, preface, the book gives some general local history per the following excerpts: "Herkimer County, in north central New York's Mohawk Valley, received its name in 1791 in memory of General Nicholas Herkimer, the Revolutionary War militia commander... There were probably in excess of 15,000 Indians in the region about the year 1700, but by the time of the American Revolution their population had eroded to about 10,000... due in part to lack of resistance to European diseases. Their numbers then fell sharply during and just after the Revolution as a result of migrations to Canada and points westward, the exodus being necessitated by the fact that most of the Iroquois, except for the Oneidas, took the British side during the War of Independence..." "As to the early Europeans, the Dutch traders of Fort Orange (now Albany) initiated commerce with the Mohawk Valley Indians in the early 1600s... The Dutch traded alcoholic beverages, firearms, tools, and fabrics in exchange for land and beaver hides. In 1664 the British took control of New York State and the Mohawk Valley area came under the jurisdiction of Albany County from that time until about 1774 when it became Tryon county (in 1784 the area was renamed as Montgomery county, the western portion of which was set off in 1791 as Herkimer County). In modern times, Herkimer County bounded by Oneida County on the west and by Montgomery and Fulton Counties on the east. Prior to 1760 there was only limited settlement by the Dutch or English to the west of Schenectady, since the Mohawk region was vulnerable to incursion of the French and their Indian allies from Canada..." [N.B. Tryon was changed to Montgomery because Tryon followed the Tory cause whereas Montgomery was a patriot.] "With the exception of a few families, such as the Fondas, Schuylers, and Van Slykes, the Dutch and English seem to have been little induced to settle the Mohawk Valley, and so the opportunity fell to a group of immigrant Germans from the Palatinate, or lower Rhineland area in central Europe. Several thousand of these Palatines had left their German homelands, being much reduced in circumstance after years of warfare with France, and had gone to England at Queen Anne's invitation in 1709... The English temporarily housed many of these people in tents outside London and early in 1710 about 2,000 were placed aboard ships for passage to the American colonies, being promised land in New York in exchange for work in Hudson River camps, to be set up for the production of pitch for use in sealing naval vessels. There were delays in embarking and the Palatines were crowded into undersized and ill provisioned ships so that the Atlantic Ocean crossing itself became a tragedy in which, by New York Gov. Hunter's account, some 466 of them perished. From 1710 to 1712 the German immigrants required government subsidy, and the payment records by Gov. Hunter to heads of households survive (as in Knittle) and are referred to throughout this book as the NY Palatine Subsistence List. The pitch operations having failed, the Germans had to fend for themselves, moving for a while to contested lands in the Schoharie Valley west of Albany." "The Palatines remained a displaced people without land entitlement until September 1721 when the Albany City council endorsed their petition to purchase Mohawk Valley land, not closer to Albany then 40 miles west of Ft. Hunter. Then on October 16, 1721, New York Governor William Burnet, presumably wishing to see buffer settlements of a friendly population in the central Mohawk area, granted the appropriate license, which allowed the Palatines, in 1722, to purchase land form the Indians in the vicinity of where the West Canada creek flows into the Mohawk River. Upon completion of the survey of these lands in 1723, and in response to the request of Palatine leaders Joseph Petrie and Conrad Richaert, the deeds were prepared under the designation of the Brunetsfield Patent. At about the same time, other Palatines received land grants at Stone Arabia and elsewhere in the Mohawk Valley... the Burnetsfield Patentees... were wholly within the present county of Herkimer [as opposed to other area Palentines in other parts of the Valley]..." "From 1723 onwards, until the French and Indian Wars commenced, [the area] was generally at peace and the residents prospered to the extent that some writers have termed the community almost utopian. Wheat grew abundantly in the fertile soil and the accumulation of livestock and goods was extensive..." "At 3 a.m. on Nov. 12, 1757, disaster struck German Flats [as Herkimer was then known] in the form of a surprise raid by a French and Indian war party... 40 killed, 150 prisoners, and much booty taken... After the 1757 devastation there were periods of relief such as the negotiated return of some prisoners in 1758 and the building, in that same year, of Ft. Stanwix as a protective outpost about 35 miles west of German Flats. With the French surrender to English forces at Montreal in 1760, relative peace was restored to the Mohawk Valley, although occasional difficulties with the Indians required that the settlers maintain a more vigilant militia than had been required in earlier years..." "Of particular note to the modern-day researcher is the fact that many of the early... families both moved and visited up and down the Mohawk Valley, thereby necessitating the search of church records over a wide geographic area for the presence of relevant marriage and baptism entries. Of note also is the information value of the baptismal sponsors, as those individuals were usually of the same generation (except when a grandparent would be sponsor for a grandchild of the same given name) and most often were brothers or sisters of the parents." "The second devastation to fall upon... the surrounding... area came from alignments brought about by the American War of Independence. The British enrolled most of the area Indians, plus several Mohawk Valley settlers as well, to the Tory cause, and in August 1777 the bloody battle of Oriskany pitted former neighbor against neighbor... Oriskany turned the British back to Canada momentarily, but a year later they were back in a more nefarious form of military tactic, that of the hit and run assault on isolated settlements. From 1778 through 1782, the British waged a war of attrition in the Mohawk Valley, with members of raiding parties paid eight dollars for each scalp taken, regardless of the victim's combative status, sex, or age... Sometimes the settlers had to scramble quickly into the forts..." "By the end of the American Revolution, the... region was severely depleted in manpower and resources and a new phase of rebuilding began with the expansion westward of New Englanders, who were lured by the open lands of northern New York which had become available with the departure of the Indians. The resultant shift in population base was evident in the 1790 census when about a third of the... area people appear to be new arrivals of English extraction..." 7. The Frederick family were involved in the earliest settlement of the Mohawk Valley in the area of present day Fort Hunter and Mill Point in Florida Township, Montgomery County, New York. They and their neighbors were involved in the Tryon Militia that fought at the important American Revolutionary War battles of Oriskany and other Mohawk Valley incursions. Basic history of the area as found at http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Enymontgo/mont1841a.html: "This profile of Montgomery County and accompanying engravings comes from an original crumbling copy of the book "Historical Collections of the State of New York," owned by the coordinator. It was printed in 1841 by S. Tuttle, 194 Chatham Square, New York, publisher. The authors were the well-known John W. Barber (author of the Connecticut and Massachusetts Historical Collections) and Henry Howe (author of 'The Memoirs of Eminent American Mechanics'). A later, more commonly found, edition of this work was published in 1845. In their preface Mr. Barber and Mr. Howe credit earlier gazetteers as sources of some information - Spafford's Gazetteers of 1813 and 1824, and Gordon's Gazetteer of 1836. The engravings were "with few exceptions, copied from drawings taken on the spot by the compilers of the work." Montgomery County was named after the lamented Gen. Montgomery, who fell at the attack on Quebec, in the revolution. Its greatest length is 34 E. and W., greatest breadth N. and S. 13 miles. It was originally taken from Albany and named in honor of William Tryon, then governor of the province. Its name was changed in 1784. It embraced all that part of the state lying west of a line running north and south nearly through the centre of the present county of Schoharie. It was divided into five districts - subdivided into precincts. The Mohawk district included Fort Hunter, Caugnawaga, Johnstown, and Kingsboro'; Canajoharie district embraced the present town of that name, with all the country southward, comprehending Cherry Valley of Otsego, and Harpersfield of Delaware counties; Palatine district, north of the Mohawk, extended over the region so called, and Stone Arabia, &c.; German Flats district and Kingsland covered the most western settlements. The Erie canal crosses the county on the south side of the Mohawk, and the Schenectady and Utica railroad on the north side. The Erie canal passes the Schoharie creek through a pond formed by a dam across the stream below. Its fall within this county is 86 feet, by 12 locks. The county is divided into ten towns. Pop. 35,801. [The Township of] FLORIDA, taken from Mohawk in 1793; from Albany 35 miles. Pop. 5,162. The town was settled by some Dutch families from Schenectady, who in 1750 were joined by some Germans, subsequently by Irish and Dutch, and lastly by New Englanders. Fort Hunter, 5 miles SE. of Fonda, is a small settlement. Port Jackson, on the Erie canal, is a flourishing village. Minaville, 4 miles S. of the canal, is a village of about 40 dwellings. Fort Hunter, which formerly stood on the line of the canal in this town, was a place of some importance in colonial history. At this place also stood Queen Anne's Chapel, a stone structure, built by Queen Anne of England for the use of the Mohawk Indians. The English Episcopal missions to the Mohawks appear to have been commenced as early as 1702, and continued down to the beginning of the revolutionary war. [The Township of] MOHAWK, the ancient Caughnawaga, recently organized, was formerly the southern section of the town of Johnstown, from which it was taken in 1837. Pop. 3,106. Since the formation of the new county of Fulton, the seat of justice for Montgomery county has been located in this town. The above is an engraving of the courthouse and hotel recently erected in the new village of Fonda. The railroad passes between these two buildings. The central part of the village of Caughnawaga is about half a mile eastward of the courthouse, and consists of about 30 dwelling-houses, on the north side of the Mohawk, 40 miles from Albany, and 4 miles S. from Johnstown. The village occupies the site of an ancient Indian village, one of the principal towns of the Mohawk tribe. Its name, Caughnawaga, is said to signify "a coffin," which it received from the circumstance of there being, in the river opposite the place, a large black stone, (still to be seen,) resembling a coffin, and projecting above the surface at low water. Ancient Church, Mohawk. The annexed is a representation of the ancient Dutch church in Caughnawaga. It is a massive stone structure, and is believed to have been erected in 1763. The following is a copy of the inscription on the stone tablet which was formerly placed over the door. "Komt laett ons op gaen tot den Bergh des Heeren, to den huyse des Godes Jacobs, op dat hy ons leere van syne wegen, en dat wy wandele in syne paden." ["Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord; to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths."] The following, relating to the history of this town, is taken from a newspaper published in Schenectady a few years since. "The Caughnawaga flats extend from the western base of Tripe's Hill to the Cayadutta creek, a distance of four miles. A patent for 2,500 acres of these flats, was granted in the year 1713, to John, Edward, and Margaret Collins. These individuals aliened to Myndert Wemple, Douw Fonda, and Hendrick A. Vrooman; and many of their descendants are proprietors at the present day. "Until 1695, there were no buildings on the site where Caughnawaga now stands, except a Dutch church edifice and a parsonage. This church was founded in 1762, by the patronage of Sir William Johnson. Its principal benefactors were the Fonda, Vrooman, Wemple, and Veeder families. The church edifice is still standing, but in a dilapidated condition. Its first pastor was the Rev. Thomas Romeyn, who died in 1794. He was succeeded by the Rev. Abraham Van Horne, of New Jersey, who continued his pastoral duties until a few years since. "Caughnawaga hardly deserved to be called a hamlet until 1795, when Messrs. Douw and Henry Fonda, of Albany, erected several buildings." 8. May be the Philip listed as a sponsor in the following record per "Records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Caughnawaga, now the Reformed Church of Fonda, in the village of Fonda, Montgomery County, N.Y.," New York, unknown, 1917, 748 pp.: Catrina, b. 4 Apr, offspring of Willem Philip and Hannah Huisna, baptized 5 May 1782 with sponsors Philip and Catrina Frederick. Jacob, b. 9 Apr, offspring of John Metselaer and Lena Cas, baptized 4 May 1783, with sponsors Philip Frederic and Anna Sals. 9. There is a Michael Frederick (Friederich) of nearby Guiderland in Albany, New York. Many have tried and continue to try to connect him to our Frederick family, but modern researchers have thoroughly shown that he is not related. Additionally he had sons Michael (who married Catherine Wagner) and Thebald (who married Margaret Merkle) who some have erroneously tried to make the sons of our Philip Frederick. Some of the confusion was that both separate families were partially recorded at the Schoharie Church (but never in conjunction with each other). I have transcribed some of the published research and included it in the notes of Philip's father Peter. It conclusively eliminates "Michael" and "Tebalt" from our family. 10. Some family histories among LDS descendants of the Fredericks list a Mary Frederick born to Philip and Maria Sophia (Saltz) Frederick. I believe this to be erroneous and recopied and recopied among the LDS histories. I find no documentation of a Mary through christenings, marriages, etc. for Mary. I believe some have confused her with Maria who married Thomas Van Horne. 11. The book "Mohawk Land Records," by Maryly B. Penrose, p. 56, bills of sale [note Mohawk District was the predecessor name for Florida Township. Tryon Co. was changed to Montgomery County after the Rev. War.]: "Saltz, Frantz, to Philip Frederick, Francis Cruth, Peter Frederick and Frantz Frederick. Instrument dated 4/28/1784; recorded 3/17/1785. Description: In consideration of several good causes made over all his moveable estate. Signed: Frantz ["X" his mark] Salts. Wit: Wm. Schuyler, Thomas Caine. The instrument was executed in person by Frants Saltz as a voluntary act. (Tryon County Deeds, Book 1, p. 257, 1772-1788)" Philip would be his son-in-law, Peter and Francis are grandsons through Philip, and Francis Cruth (Grosch), grandson through son-in-law Peter Grosch. 12. The book "Our Van Horne Kindred," by Elsie O. Hallenback, 1958, copy in the Montgomery County NY Archives: "Cornelius Van Horne, oldest child of Mathias Van Horne and Nelly Crumm, was born in Upper Freehold, NJ on March 10, 1745. When a young man he came to Warrensbush, Tryon Co., NY where he worked for Philip Frederick who had a grist mill and saw mill at Mill Point, along the Schoharie Creek. Philip Frederick was the son of Peter Frederick, a Palatine who had been driven out of south-west Germany during a religious persecution, and emigrated to Mill Point where he settled and raised his family. According to the records of the Old Dutch Reformed Church of Schoharie, NY, he and Sophia Saltz, daughter of Francis Saltz, were registered for marriage on Nov. 11, 1752... Francis Saltz was another early settler along the Schoharie Creek, about five miles above its entrance into the Mohawk River. In heh History of Montgomery County, it states 'that one Francis Saltz and Cornelius (Boss) Putman purchased the Shucksburg Patent of 1200 acres of land along the Schoharie Creek, Mr. Saltz taking the half farthest up the creek, and Mr. Putman the lower half. Mr. Saltz later on sold part of this land to his son-in-law by the name of McCreavy; another part to his son-in-law named Young; another part to Philip Frederick, a fourth part to Michael Marlett and the remaining 200 acres he deeded to Peter Crush [Grosch] if he would marry his crippled daughter who had never been able to walk. Mr. Crush accepted this offer, and after building a home on the land, carried his wife to it on his back'... Cornelius Van Horne married Eve Frederick, the fifth child of Philip Frederick and Sophia Saltz, and they built a home on the opposite side of the Schoharie Creek from that of her parents. There is an old lease in existence dated May 6, 1792 for this land which was in the very north-east section of the Corry Patent and in the Town of Glen, Montgomery County. It was given to Cornelius Van Horne by Silvanus Wilcox, and the witnesses where Thomas B. Vinman and Abraham Vootsik..." 13. The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s), p. 11, "Settlers along the Schoharie," notes the earliest residents. South on the river would be about five miles upriver from the Schoharie's mouth into the Mohawk River at Fort Hunter. Also the river is the modern dividing point between Florida Township on the east and Glen Township on the west: "Among the pioneer settlers on the east bank of Schoharie creek were Martinus Cline and Francis Saltz, who, about the middle of the last century leased two farms in Warren's Patent, now the Henry C. Pettingill and William Voorhees places, opposite Mill Point. It is said that when they arrived on the ground they flipped a penny for the choice of places, and Saltz, winning the toss, took the southernmost of [the presently known] Voorhees farm. His oldest daughter married Philip Frederick, and they settled on the creek at the place since called Buchanan's Mills [just upriver from Salts], where Frederick cleared a farm and built a house and mill. Here in a few years quite a settlement sprung up. Another of the pioneers who settled on the creek within the present town of Florida was Peter Young. He came from New Jersey, and camped near Garret Van Derveer's place. Learning from some Indians, while hunting one day, that a white family who had made a clearing over by the creek had become discouraged and abandoned it, he took possession of the farm, the next above Frederick's mill. The place was in Sir Peter Warren's domain, and Young paid 5s. 10d. rent for ten years, and afterward ₤3. The estate has remained in possession of the Young family from that day to this, the present owner being Miss Anna Young. Peter Young had three sons, the oldest of whom, George, married a daughter of Saltz and moved across the creek; William married a Gardinier and settled in Florida. Peter, Jr., married Margaret Serviss, and kept the homestead. During the Revolutionary war this was the retreat of the non-combatants in the neighborhood when threatened by the savage enemy. They formed a camp back of the lake on the farm sheltered by a semi-circle of bushes and hills. Mrs. Young [maiden name: Serviss], whose relatives were Tories, and who was in no fear of them or the Indians, cooked and carried food to the refugees. Another hiding place was on the high point of land on the bank of the creek. At one time there was a large company of women and children encamped here as Indians had been seen up the stream. It was in the autumn and quite cold, and they had risked building a fire. One morning the watchman spied a company of men approaching over the hills to the east of the camp. They were supposed to be the enemy, and panic was created. Some flew to the lakeside camp; others tried to put out the fire, which would betray their positions, but they had no water, and the more they raked it, the more it smoked. They were soon delightfully relieved by the arrival of the party, who proved to be their soldier friends, home on a furlough." 14. The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s): A. From a "mass of papers left by Jelles Fonda, and now in the possession of the Van Hornes of Fonda, is 'a List of the persons that are assessed above 5 pounds, with the sums they are to pay, and the number of days they are to work upon the King's highways, annewed.' Though not dated, the document is believed to have been written shortly previous to the Revolution and furnishes a sort of limited census of the inhabitants of this region, with their relative financial standing. Many names now familiar in the same district will be recognized, under the disguise which the orthography of the writer, and perhaps of the times, put upon them. The list is as follows [with over 120 names including names of interest to us - note Wm. Johnson assessed at ₤202 and most others in the range of ₤6-20]: Peter Young, quota ₤10, annual assessment 1s 6d, no. of days work 4. Frans Salts, quota ₤15, annual assessment 3s, no. of days work 5. Peter Frederick and sons, quota ₤12, annual assessment 3s, no. of days work 5. [Various Gardeners/Gardeneers {Adam, Samuel, Jacob}; Mallatt {John}; Service {Peter}] The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s) contains some local history which adds to the historical perspective of the times of Peter Frederick in Montgomery County. I recommend browsing and reading this extensive history of which I have partial copy on file, but I do include a few excerpts in these notes: B. The Mohawk Indians maintained two fortified villages which they called castles. The lower castle was named Tionderoga or Dyiondarogon in the Indian tongue and it was at where Fort Hunter was located at the mouth of the Schoharie where it meets the Mohawk river. The second or higher castle was further up the Mohawk river at Canojahorie, which is present day Danube in Herkimer County. The castles usually had log palisades and huts grouped close together for defensive purposes. The Mohawk valley was an ancient and natural route from the Atlantic seaboard to Lake Ontario and as such had British interests push west from the Albany area and French pushing back from the Niagara area. This conflict led to the many years of the French and Indian War. Up to the end of the Revolutionary war, the area was in constant conflict as evidenced by the many forts and historical accounts of atrocities, and massacres. The Frederick family of this era would have been considered in the vanguard of British frontiersmen with a dangerous time and place to live. The earliest white men in the area would have been the French Jesuit priests followed eventually by missionaries of the English Church of England. The Dutch were slow to migrate to this area and were mainly only as far as Fort Orange which became Albany. The civilization followed the Mohawk River west from Albany and then eventually moved up the tributary rivers, which was the case of the Fredericks, Saltzs, and associated families up the Schoharie River from Fort Hunter. Fort Hunter was the first established village in the area in the first decade of the 1700s. Albany would continue to be the main market for the eventual crops produced in later Montgomery County. C. William Johnson appears on the scene in 1738 at age 23 to superintend "a large estate, the title to which had been acquired by his uncle, Sir Peter Warren, a British Admiral. This tract, containing some 15,000 acres, lay along the south bank of the Mohawk near the mouth of Schoharie creek and mostly within the present town of Florida. It was called from its proprietor Warrensbush... He was to promote Captain Warren's interests by the sale of small farms in Warrensbush; his own interests by cultivating land for himself, and their joint interests by keeping a store in which they were partners. In 1743 he became connected with the fur trade at Oswego and derived a great revenue from this and his other dealings with the Indians. Having early resolved to remain in the Mohawk valley, he applied himself earnestly to the study of the character and language of the natives. By freely mingling with them and adopting their habits when it suited his interest he soon gained their good will and confidence, and gradually acquired an ascendancy over them never possessed by any other European... A few years after Johnson's arrival on the Mohawk he purchased a tract of land on the north side of the river... In 1744 he built a gristmill on a small steam flowing into the Mohawk... He also erected a stone mansion at his place for his own residence, calling it Fort Johnson, the building still stands and bears its old name." [It was just six years after this that Philip Frederick sets up his mill up the Schoharie River to save his neighbors the trip to Fort Johnson. He uses a used grinding stone that his father-in-law Francis Saltz purchased from William Johnson.] D. Original ownership in Florida township area. Walter Butler purchased from the Indians a tract of 86,000 acres which was divided into six tracts, one of which was transferred to Charles Williams and others, August 19th, 1735, and comprised the principal portion of what is now the township of Florida. The parties taking possession of this tract were to pay the yearly rent of 2 shillings, 6 pence for each 100 acres at the Custom House in New York, and agreed to settle and cultivate at least 3 acres out of every 50 within the next three years. Additionally all trees 24 inches in diameter and upwards, at 12 inches from the ground, were to be reserved for masts for the Royal Navy. This was the tract afterward owned by Sir Peter Warren, and known as Warrensbush, probably purchased by him in 1737; as a petition to be allowed to purchase 6,000 acres of land is filed by him in the Secretary of State's office, dated May 5th, 1737. This land remained in the Warren family for nearly sixty years. After the death of Sir Peter Warren, Warrensbush was divided into three parts: one part was conveyed to Charles Fitzroy, otherwise called Lord Southampton; one part to the Earl of Abingdon, and the third to Henry Gage. Abingdon and Gage conveyed their two shares to John Watts, of New York, who was formerly their attorney, and was also a brother-in-law to Sir Peter Warren. David Cady was agent for John Watts in Warrensbush. There was an anxiety to get rid of the vexatious ground rents, but the lease system was well entrenched, and the owners knew well their value; only slowly and gradually was the right to the soil obtained in the late 1780s and 1790s. The following quitclaim of certain leaseholds mentions the Fredericks, Youngs, and Services: "Whereas, John Watts of the city of New York, and Jane, his wife, did purchase from the Earl of Abingdon, of Great Britain, and from Henry gage and Susanna, his wife, and others their trustees, two tracts or parcels of land situated in a place called Warrensburgh, in the town of Mohawk, county of Montgomery, State of New York, formerly part of the estate of Sir Peter Warren... said John Watts hat sold and conveyed sundry lots thereof to David Cady, Nathan Stanton, Ezra Murray, Phillip and Peter Frederick, William and Peter Youngs ... Christian and Peter Service... and sundry others, with covenants on the part of said John Watts to convey the same in full to them on payment of certain sums... Signed and sealed 13 Nov 1793." [I am sure which Peter is spoken of - the immigrant or the son of Philip.] E. Extensive other excerpts are included and should also be consulted in the notes of Johan Peter Frederick concerning the times and places in which Philip lived. 15.

The book "The Book of Names, Especially Relating to the Early Palatines and the First Settlers in the Mohawk Valley," by Lou D. MacWethy, 1933: "Tryon County Militia, 3rd Regiment, Col. Frederick Fisher": Fredreck, Jacob Frederick, Peter Frederick, Francis Fredrick, Philip BIRTH: 1. The source of the birth date of Philip is unknown and the 1734 date appears to have been surmised from earlier family researchers. The 1752 marriage date is proven and by subtracting an average male marriage age of 21 years, then the birthdate may have been circa 1731. 2. It is probable that the earliest Fredericks, Peter and his children, were Palatine immigrants since Peter and his son Philip were naturalized in the 1760s. This is contrary to the publication of Alida Reed wherein she purports that they were descendants of a very early Frederick family from the early 1600s of New Amsterdam (present day New York City). The naturalization on the other hand would mean that they were of foreign birth and not English (the English had taken over New Amsterdam in the 1660s). The area was generally made up of Dutch descendants that had moved up from the old New Amsterdam or Palatine immigrants. We do not know exactly when Peter came to America but it was apparently before 1739 judging from the church christening records of his children beginning in 1739. Assuming a 1734 birth for Peter's son Philip and the fact that Philip was also naturalized, then we could assume Peter family's immigration was between 1734 and 1739. MARRIAGE: 1.

Names show up as Philip Frederic and Maria Sophia Salzer. Sealing to spouse done 24 Feb 1979 IFALL. I looked up this record in a transcribed copy of the records at the Montgomery Co., NY Archives: "11 Nov 1752 were registered for marriage, Philip Frederic, legitimate son of Peter Frederich and Maria Sophia Salzer, legitimate daughter of Frans Saltzer, both living in Mohawk's Land." [Note that Mohawk's Land was a general term of basically the frontier in the traditional Mohawk Indian tribal area around Fort Hunter and present day Montgomery County, New York. DEATH: 1. Source of Philip's children is from his will probate, a transcribed copy of which is on file with me and is entitled "Wills 0506564, Montgomery County, New York." Also summarized in the book "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families" by Maryly B. Penrose, vol. 1, p. 282, and noted as "WMC 56:153-54." It also appears that he had married a second time to a Sarah who had a son, Samuel Roadwell, from a previous marriage. Son-in-law Cornelius Van Horn is mentioned. It may also be assumed that the first three daughters Margaret, Sophiah, and Elizabeth were married since they only received a dollar; the last four daughters Eve, Lanah, Hannah, and Mary, were probably unmarried since they received equal portion of the adjusted estate. Will dated 7 May 1804 and probated 6 Nov 1804.

Loomis, Berea, Ohio, third (1908) edition: "By the marriage of Joseph Loomis to Mary White in Shalford Church, or through his father's marriage, he became a 'cousin' (meaning either a cousin or a nephew in this instance) of one William Lingwood of Braintree. The fact is evidenced by a letter written by this gentleman, in the year 1651, to 'Cousin Clark,' of Hartford, Conn., which letter was that of a lawyer and upon a business subject. (This letter suggests a relationship between the Clarkes of Felsted and Lummyses as well.) [See extract of letter below.] William Lingwood was of a very good family indeed; one that was both armigerous and 'landed.' The Lingwoods were recognized by the heralds in the visitation of Essex in 1634, at which date this William Lingwood was contemporaneous with Joseph Loomis. The family is also honored with mention in Morant's and other histories of Essex. From these authorities it appears that this family may be summarized as: - 'John Lingwood of Braintree 1571 descendant out of Herefordshire or Gloucestershire. Geoffrey Lingwood of Braintree, m. Elizabeth, dau. of John Sibthorpe of Gt. Bardfield, Essex, and by dau. of M. Berners. William Lingwood of Braintree and of Barnard's Inn, London 1634, m. Mary, dau. of Thomas Wilson of Bocking, Essex. William Lingwood aged 19 in 1634. John. Two other sons. Three daughters.' In Stisted Church, three miles from Braintree, there is a monument to Elizabeth, wife of William Lingwood, died 1719. Just how Lingwood and Loomis became 'cousins' does not appear. The Braintree church records are lost, and the Bocking records reveal only a part of the Wilsons, notably the above Thomas Wilson, Gentleman, who died 1627. Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of William Wilson, also of Bocking, had married John Goodwin, 1604, in Bocking Church. The church records at Stisted, where some of the Lingwoods lived, have not been examined. Thomas Wilson having been buried in Braintree Church, though residing over the Bocking line, the names of all of is children and of his father's family were recorded among the now lost church registers. When John Lummys came to Braintree he may have married into the Wilson or Lingwood families. Geoffrey Lingwood had two sisters; and when it is considered that Geoffrey Lummys (whose estate was administered, 1636, by John Lunt, the apprentice or successor to John Loomis) was probably a son of John Loomis, though not mentioned in the will, it is easy to believe that this Geoffrey was named after Geoffrey Lingwood, whose son William called Joseph Loomis 'cousin.' Elizabeth Sibthorpe, who married Geoffrey Lingwood, came to Braintree from Great Bardfield. This town closely adjoins Thaxted, from where John Lummys came to Braintree via Great Bardfield. It is to be expected that this John married a Lingwood or a Wilson in Braintree Church. The records of this church before 1660, were mostly used by the sexton for lighting the furnace fires. This destruction was confessed by the culprit to the present vicar."

Jones and Lewis Buncker Rohrbach, copy in Montgomery County, NY, Archives [note that author has an additional two earlier books on the same subject: "The Palatine Families of New York: A Study of the German Immigrants Who arrived in New York in 1710," (1985); "More Palatine Families," (1991), both of which I have reviewed without finding our Fredericks]: "Johann Peter Friederich. Peter Freidrick was naturalized 3 July 1759 (Scott & Stryker-Rodda, p. 29). On 8 Jul 1761, the petition of Peter Frederick was referred (see 'Land Patents' 16:45; also 'New York Colony, Calendar of Council Minutes 1668-1783,' compiled by Berthold Fernow, p. 404). Petter Fredrick was on a tax list of Mohawk in 1766 ('Upstate New York in the 1760s,' by Florence Christoph, p. 129). Johann Peter Frederich and wife Anna Veronica (Phronica) had issue: a.

[Kerry's notes: I have seen the book "The Bloodied Mohawk" in regards to Franz and it only contains information from his pension application, which I already have on file. Please also note that the author incorrectly assigns Frans as a child of Peter - he was a grandson, not a son. In regards to Ludwig, this is the only reference I can find of him whatsoever; there does not seem to be any christening record for him and his being listed a child of Peter is possible and perhaps likely but not proven. Please also note that even though some church records for the Fredericks are found in New York City Church records, this is only because clergymen from those Churches would travel up to "Mohawk" land. Note also that the Fredericks would use varying Protestant Churches in the vicinity depending apparently on which direction they were traveling or where there was a clergyman available to perform the rites.] 3. Sir William Johnson was the Indian Agent and representative for the British Government in the early days of the Mohawk Valley. His fortified stone home still stands on the north shore of the Mohawk River opposite of Fort Hunter and is known as Fort Johnson. It was the center of the British Government's relation with the Indian Six Nations. His biography can be easily found on the Internet. The Montgomery County, NY, Archives has the published 14 volumes entitled "The Papers of Sir William Johnson," published by the Division of Archives and History, 1965, The University of the State of New York, Albany, 1965. The letters are full of the dealings with the various Indian groups as well as his local "associates" among whom we find Peter Frederick and his son Philip. I do not find any references to the Saltz's or Cosaadts. The references are as follows: Vol. 3, p. 161, Seven Years' War [French and Indian], Johnson's Account of Indian Expenses [of money paid to Peter for food supplies]: "1759, Feby. 22 To Peter Frederick for 36 sk pease @ 4/6 for Ind's: 8₤, 2sh." Vol. 3, p. 357, Seven Years' War, Peter Servis and Others to the Assembly [requesting naturalization as British subjects - this confirms that Phillip was a foreign born Protestant]: "March 10, 1761. To the Honourable, the Representatives of the Colony of New York, this Humble Petition is addressed.

[26 names listed including Adolph Young, Phillip Frederick, and the two Servis brothers Peter and Christian.]" Vol. 3, p. 634, Seven Years' War, a letter sent to Goldsbrow Banyar from Fort Johnson, Feby. 14, 1762, requesting that the following names of people be inserted in a patent [40 names listed none which are familiar except the two Servis brothers, Peter and Christopher, and no. 39 Peter Frederick and no. 40 Sr. William Johnson. Vol. 6, pp. 770-773, Post War Period, 1763-1774, is a patent granted on the Mohawk River [for land given by the Mohawk Chief Brant in gratitude for the goodwill of Sir William Johnson, Baronet] by King George III to Sir William Johnson and his associates: "To our Attorney and Solicitor General.

[Note the Conajohare Castle is a major Mohawk fortified town at present-day Danube, Herkimer, New York, whereas the Windsor Castle is the residence in England of King George. Peter's partial ownership of this patent may be the reason why some of the later generations of Fredericks ended up in the Danube area.] Vol. 10, pp. 248-250, Seven Years War, New York, 27 March 1761, copy of petition in the New York State Library, Colonial Land Papers, wherein Sir William Johnson in behalf of himself and his associates petitions "the Honorable Cadwallader Colden, Esqr., President of His Majesty's Council, and Commander in Chief of the Province of New York and the territories depending thereon in America" for a "Lycense to Purchase 40,000 A lyincres of Land in the County of Albany" on the north side of the Mohawk River [as previously described in the quote above].

Hallenback, 1958, copy in the Montgomery County NY Archives: "Cornelius Van Horne, oldest child of Mathias Van Horne and Nelly Crumm, was born in Upper Freehold, NJ on March 10, 1745. When a young man he came to Warrensbush, Tryon Co., NY where he worked for Philip Frederick who had a grist mill and saw mill at Mill Point, along the Schoharie Creek. Philip Frederick was the son of Peter Frederick, a Palatine who had been driven out of south-west Germany during a religious persecution, and emigrated to Mill Point where he settled and raised his family. According to the records of the old Dutch Reformed Church of Schoharie, NY, he and Sophia Saltz, daughter of Francis Saltz, were registered for marriage on Nov. 11, 1752..." 6. The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s): A. From a "mass of papers left by Jelles Fonda, and now in the possession of the Van Hornes of Fonda, is 'a List of the persons that are assessed above 5 pounds, with the sums they are to pay, and the number of days they are to work upon the King's highways, annexed.' Though not dated, the document is believed to have been written shortly previous to the Revolution and furnishes a sort of limited census of the inhabitants of this region, with their relative financial standing. Many names now familiar in the same district will be recognized, under the disguise which the orthography of the writer, and perhaps of the times, put upon them. The list is as follows [with over 120 names including names of interest to us - note Wm. Johnson assessed at ₤202 and most others in the range of ₤6-20]: Peter Young, quota ₤10, annual assessment 1s 6d, no. of days work 4. Frans Salts, quota ₤15, annual assessment 3s, no. of days work 5. Peter Frederick and sons, quota ₤12, annual assessment 3s, no. of days work 5. [Various Gardeners/Gardeneers {Adam, Samuel, Jacob}; Mallatt {John}; Service {Peter}] B. Reference made to the royal grant of land received by Peter Frederick as one of several associates of Sir William Johnson as reported above in a separate note: "Perhaps in no section of the northern colonies were the loyalists so numerous or so influential at the beginning of the Revolutionary agitation as along the Mohawk valley. A state of things existed in this quarter unfavorable to the spirit of independence. Many conditions conspired to make the cause of the crown popular and powerful that were lacking in other sections, prominent among which was the almost absolute power that Sir William Johnson had obtained over the Six Nations and a large share of the white inhabitants. His domains in the Mohawk valley (including the 66,000 acres mostly in what is now Herkimer county, which in 1760 were given him by the Mohawks, and in the possession of which he was confirmed by the crown, leading to its being called the Royal grant), were exceedingly extensive, and his influence through many subordinate officers and a numerous tenantry was correspondingly great. His opinion on all matters of importance with which he was concerned was considered that of a sage; and though not decidely expressed, it naturally favored the government which had bestowed upon him wealth and rank. The name of Sir William Johnson, who had been the people's friend and companion in peace and their leader in war, was but natural that his sentiments on so momentous questions as those raised between the colonies and the crown would have persuaded to the side of the latter, or at least rendered neutral, some who would otherwise have cast in their lot with the colonies." [Note: Sir William dies just before the Revolution in 1774 and his son John Johnson and son-in-law Guy Johnson were not of the caliber of William nor the recipients of the respect accorded William. Eventually these Loyalist sons were totally driven from the area. William had come to area from Ireland originally as the nephew of Peter Warren, the British admiral who had bought the land known as Warrensbush. William promoted his interests in the area as well as trade with the Indians. He learned the native tongues and was well respected among the Indian tribes. He functioned as the crown's Indian agent and was a successful military leader of the local militia and Indian tribes during the many years of conflict with the French and Canadian Indians. His military successes helped him receive a Baronetcy entitling him to being called Sir William Johnson - not bad for a young Irish boy. 7. On file with me is a photocopy of the "225th Anniversary Program, Old Fort Hunter and Queen Anne Chapel at Fort Hunter, N.Y. Sept. 12, 1937," published under the auspices of the Improved Order of Red Men and Degree of Pocahontas for the Mohawk, Sacandaga, and Schoharie Valleys. The copy was made from the original in the Montgomery Co., NY, Archives in Fonda, NY. The brochure contains the history of Fort and Chapel. Some highlights are included herewith since Peter Frederick's children were baptized in this chapel and evidently Peter was in the vicinity starting in the 1730's: A. Barent Vroman, the sponsor and namesake of Philip's son, Barent Frederick, was the original contractor to build Fort Hunter along with four other men: Garet Symonce, Hendrick Vroman, John Wemp, and Arent Van Patten. The contract was dated at Albany in 1711 in the 10th year of Anne, Queen of England, and was issued by Governor Robert Hunter. The desire to build the fort was expressed to the Queen by Peter Schuyler, the Mayor of Albany, and the five sachems of the Mohawk nation. Present day Fort Hunter was then known as Ticonderoga and was at the mouth of the Schoharie where it enters the Mohawk River. A chapel was also desired to establish the presence of the Church of England in this frontier post. The log fort with bastions was complete in Sep. 1712. The fort was used up through the French and Indian War at which time after 1756 it was eventually abandoned and destroyed. The 24 foot square stone chapel remained thereafter but was eventually demolished when a part of the Erie Canal was built in 1820 through the property. The stone was reused for the guard-locks. The Chapel was used partially as a fort during the Rev. War. Queen Anne herself had sent the furnishings for the Chapel. B. Previous to the erection of the Chapel, there had been spasmodic visits of missionaries sent out from England to the Mohawks by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. After the Chapel was built, the first pastor in 1711 was Rev. Thomas Barclay, formerly chaplain of Fort Orange in Albany. He was followed in 1712 by Rev. William Andrews who later resigned his post in 1719. The position remained vacant until 1735. Rev. Henry Barclay came in 1741 and was there until 1745 when he left to become rector of Trinity Church in New York City. Rev. John Ogilvie came in 1749 and was their until he succeeded Henry Barclay at the Trinity Church in New York City in 1764. By the late 1760s, there are records of a school being conducted in the building with at least 30 Mohawk children in attendance. There was a Rev. Mr. Ellison who preached at the Fort in 1790 and a Rev. Mr. Dempster who made a few visits there in later years. C. The religious nature of the building was ended by the time the Court of General Sessions was held there in Feb. 1781. "This seems to have been an important session for discriminating between the Whigs and Tories of the county, as 104 persons were indicted 'for adhering to the enemies of New York.' At a similar court at Johnstown in the October following, 16 men were indicted, 'for the same crime' while in February, 1782, 41 more, for their Tory proclivities, were remembered in the same manner 'for aiding, abetting, feeding and comforting a party of the enemy'... At the June term for 1782, an old gentleman and his wife were indicted, for aiding, abetting, feeding and comforting a party of enemy.' The 163 names thus designated, show those of a great number not only of the strongest and best families of the Mohawk valley at that period, but at the present time. [The surnames of Frederick, Young, Service, Smith are listed among 25 in the narrative along with "scores of others' not listed.] - the greater part of whom went to Canada; were in the service of the enemy; not a few of them remaining there and becoming permanent citizens. Indeed, we may say that thus very many of the German families of New York became represented in Canada, and are so to this day. D. Among the names recorded in the Queen Anne's Chapel Registers for baptisms, marriages, and sponsors from 1734 to 1746 are: Frederick: Anna, Ann, Barent, Hans Jacob, and Johan. Anna Eva Saltser, Frans. Saltser, and Anna Eva Selser. Young: Lena, Anna Eva, Eva, Helena, Maria Cath, and Peter. 8. The book "History of Montgomery and Fulton Counties, N.Y.," reprinted 2002 (originally printed in the 1880s) contains some local history which adds to the historical perspective of the times of Peter Frederick in Montgomery County. I recommend browsing and reading this extensive history of which I have partial copy on file, but I do include a few excerpts in these notes: A. The Mohawk Indians maintained two fortified villages which they called castles. The lower castle was named Tionderoga or Dyiondarogon in the Indian tongue and it was at where Fort Hunter was located at the mouth of the Schoharie where it meets the Mohawk River. The second or higher castle was further up the Mohawk River at Canojahorie, which is present day Danube in Herkimer County. The castles usually had log palisades and huts grouped close together for defensive purposes. The Mohawk valley was an ancient and natural route from the Atlantic seaboard to Lake Ontario and as such had British interests push west from the Albany area and French pushing back from the Niagara area. This conflict led to the many years of the French and Indian War. Up to the end of the Revolutionary war, the area was in constant conflict as evidenced by the many forts and historical accounts of atrocities, and massacres. The Frederick family of this era would have been considered in the vanguard of British frontiersmen with a dangerous time and place to live. The earliest white men in the area would have been the French Jesuit priests followed eventually by missionaries of the English Church of England. The Dutch were slow to migrate to this area and were mainly only as far as Fort Orange which became Albany. The civilization followed the Mohawk River west from Albany and then eventually moved up the tributary rivers, which was the case of the Fredericks, Saltzs, and associated families up the Schoharie River from Fort Hunter. Fort Hunter was the first established village in the area in the first decade of the 1700s. Albany would continue to be the main market for the eventual crops produced in later Montgomery County. B. The Dutch descendants of the original New Amsterdam colony (New York City after the 1660s) were slow to move into the area and stayed mainly as far as the Albany area. There earliest presence in the Montgomery county area would be generally confined to the very eastern portions of the county. The areas west would be many settled by the Palatine immigrations. "The wars in Europe in the latter part of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th, were waged principally on religious grounds. Most of the European powers still adhered to the Catholic faith, and supported the vigorous efforts of the Roman see for the extinction of Protestantism. The lower Palatinate in Germany was for many years the scene of the rapine and ravages so eminently incidental to religious wars, until the remnant of the population holding the tenets of the Protestant faith could no longer find a hiding place from their implacable enemies, the French, and, fleeing from their native land, took refuge in England, under the protection of a power which had then assumed its historic position as the chief bulwark of Protestantism." Queen Anne of England was counseled by her Board of Trade to grant the petition of the Lutheran minister Joshua Kockerthal to provide for him and his 51 of his co-religionists transport and support to the Colony of New York in 1708. They were naturalized before leaving England and all expenses were paid by the government. In June 1710, 3000 more followed with over 400 perishing in the sea voyage. They received support for one year and in "1709, it was suggested that they might be located along the Mohawk river, where they could be employed in making tar and turpentine from the abundant pine trees; and would serve as a protection to the colony from the French in Canada, and the Indians in their interest. In pointing out a place as most suitable for the settlement of the Palatines, the board of trade designated a tract on the Mohawk, about 50 miles in length and four in breadth; and another about 30 miles in length, upon a creek flowing into the Mohawk, referring to the Schoharie, the land around which, though claimed by the Mohawk Indians, could be easily purchased of them. It was also proposed that the settlers be employed for a limited time in making naval stores, and be naturalized in the province, free of charge. The English Attorney-General reported a contract, which was executed by them, granting them 40 acres of land for each person, and exemption from taxes and quit rents for seven years... Upon a survey being, however, of the lands indicated, they were found destitute of pine timber, and hence, though highly fertile, unfitted for the design entertained. Gov. Hunter, therefore, bought of Robert Livingston a tract of 6000 acres on the east side of the Hudson... he settled a large portion of the Germans upon it. Some, however, preferred to remain in New York City, and others found their way into Pennsylvania, and settled there." By 1711, the number of Palatines on the Hudson was reported as 1,761. This proved to not have been as promised to the Palatines with their work more for building up the interests and estates of the unscrupulous Livingston and other established landowners who had duped Gov. Hunter. They were virtual indentured servants and became unruly. They wanted to relocate to the fertile Schoharie tract promised them by Queen Anne. "They were obliged to bring a body of troops to the settlement to disarm them and compel them to resume their labors. In the expedition of Col. Nicholson for the reduction of Canada, in the fall of 1711, about 300 of the Palatines cheerfully enlisted, glad to escape from their hated toil, and to pay some part of their debt of vengeance to the detested French. But they had never given up their longing for the rich soil to the westward, and Gov. Hunter found it no easy task to restrain them." By 1712, Gov. Hunter had run out of money and credit and had instructed the superintendent to instruct the Germans to seek employment for themselves; however, they were not to abandon the tar manufacturing, but they were to return to it when required. "Some of the leading Palatines embraced this opportunity for an emigration to the banks of the Schoharie, where they had obtained permission from the Indians to settle. They threaded on foot an intricate Indian trail, bearing upon their backs their worldly possessions... They had not been very long in possession of the Schoharie valley before... and agent of the Crown appeared at their settlement and offered deeds from the Sovereign to those who had taken up land, if they would define its boundaries. The poor settlers, however, had been so long unused to fair treatment that they regarded this excellent offer as a snare, and drove the agent from the community." The agent eventually repealed his proposition and sold the land to some investors in Albany. When the patentees tried to enforce leases to their titles in 1715 by means of the sheriff, the Palatines "fell upon him, beating him unmercifully and inflicting other indignities." Considering themselves in possession of the land, they declared "that the Queen had given them the lands, and they wanted no better titles." Some leading Palatines were arrested and others commissioned three of their number to present a memorial to the proper authorities in England. "In 1720, Hunter was succeeded by Wm. Burnet in the governorship of the province, and in consequence of the troubles with the Palatines both at Schoharie and at the original settlement on the Hudson, was specially instructed remove such of the latter as might desire to other localities." In 1722, another group of Palatines arrived at New York from Holland, having lost many of their number on the voyage. Burnett fixed the Palatines in their new settlement, but he found much cunningness among them with a few trying to entice the others to leave so as to claim their land and enlarge their holdings. He remarked, "And indeed in my dealings with those people I find very little gratitude for favors done them, and particularly that those who were best taken care of and settled on good lands by my predecessor are the most apt to misrepresent him and this managed by a few cunning persons among them that lead the rest as they please, who are for the generality a laborious and honest but a headstrong ignorant people." As the "Palatines began to discover that all their troubles proceeded from their own ignorance and stubbornness some of them purchased the lands on which they had settled, but a large portion of them in the spring of 1723 removed to Pennsylvania. Others moved up the Mohawk valley and settled in and about the present towns of Canajoharie and Palatine and to the westward along the river." C. William Johnson appears on the scene in 1738 at age 23 to superintend "a large estate, the title to which had been acquired by his uncle, Sir Peter Warren, a British Admiral. This tract, containing some 15,000 acres, lay along the south bank of the Mohawk near the mouth of Schoharie creek and mostly within the present town of Florida. It was called from its proprietor Warrensbush... He was to promote Captain Warren's interests by the sale of small farms in Warrensbush; his own interests by cultivating land for himself, and their joint interests by keeping a store in which they were partners. In 1743 he became connected with the fur trade at Oswego and derived a great revenue from this and his other dealings with the Indians. Having early resolved to remain in the Mohawk valley, he applied himself earnestly to the study of the character and language of the natives. By freely mingling with them and adopting their habits when it suited his interest he soon gained their good will and confidence, and gradually acquired an ascendancy over them never possessed by any other European... A few years after Johnson's arrival on the Mohawk he purchased a tract of land on the north side of the river... In 1744 he built a gristmill on a small steam flowing into the Mohawk... He also erected a stone mansion at his place for his own residence, calling it Fort Johnson, the building still stands and bears its old name." [It was just six years after this that Philip Frederick sets up his mill up the Schoharie River to save his neighbors the trip to Fort Johnson. He uses a used grinding stone that his father-in-law Francis Saltz purchased from William Johnson.] D. The narrative contains much on the French and Indian Wars and other similar incursions into the valley. William Johnson was the able commander of the local militia in the many hostilities. "The French war had involved the government of New York so deeply in debt that direct taxation was necessitated. Part of a tax list under a warrant sent to the Albany county commissioners to 'John Fonda, Collector for Mohawks,' in the summer of 1764, is extant" and includes the name of Peter Young with a valuation of ₤13 with a assessment of ₤1-12-6." When the war finally ended with the "apprehension and dread of the French invasion being removed, the tide of emigration flowed more rapidly into the Mohawk valley. The growth led to the dividing the original county of Albany into two with the forming of Tryon county in 1772. One of the reasons was the onerous task for the population to travel to Albany to avail themselves of the court. Instead of townships with the new county, "it was divided into five large districts. The most eastern district was called the Mohawk, and consisted of a strip of the State between the east line of the county already defined and a parallel line crossing the Mohawk river at the 'noses.'" E. The exploits of the area during the Revolutionary war are told in detail. As mentioned earlier, the area was highly loyalist and in the path of the invading armies out of Canada. Many of the Indian tribes were aligned with the British against the local patriot Tryon Militia. In discussing the aftermath, it was reported to Gen'l Washington that the original enrolled county militia "numbered not less than 2500, there were then [at the end of the war] not more than 800 men liable to bear arms, and not more than 1200 who could be taxed or assessed for the raising of men for the public service. To account for so large a reduction of the population, it was estimated that one-third had been killed or made prisoners; one-third had gone over to the enemy; and one-third for the time being had abandoned the country. No other part of America of the same extent had suffered so much; no where else had the patriot population been so nearly at the mercy of the Indians and Tories. Overrun again and again by savage hordes bent on murder, booty and ruin, this region presented at the close of the war a heart-sickening desolation." The loyalist "raid of Ross and Butler," former prominent residents of the area, "was the last serious invasion of the Mohawk valley. There was little left to tempt further incursions. The patriots of Tryon county had passed through a terrible ordeal. Those who now live in peace and plenty on the lands once so often trodden by relentless foes, cannot comprehend the sufferings of their forefathers, and their brave and patient endurance. Especially difficult would it be to realize the amount of painful anxiety, hardship and self-denial, to which the wives and daughters of the Revolutionary heroes were subjected, while fathers, husbands, and brothers were away fighting for the country's freedom. All through the long struggle the lives of these brave women were made burdensome by incessant toil and watching. not only had they household duties to perform, but it fell to their lot to cultivate the farms for their subsistence. The slow and toilsome reaping with the sickle having been accomplished, and the grain garnered, they had to carry it miles, often on foot, to mill, exposed to the attack of the wily Indian or the treacherous torey; or if the mill was too distant, had to pound the grain in a wooden mortar at home. These who had live stock were under the necessity of watching it night and day. The housewife and daughters had to weave the cloth from which the garments of their family were made, for few could afford to buy, even had well stocked stores been always at hand. But severe toil was a less hardship than the constant exposure to being attacked by the Indians, which made it part of their daily work to be on the lookout for the lurking foe, familiar with all the footpaths and liable to appear when least expected, seldom sparing the innocent and helpless, but leaving blood and flame as the evidence of his stealthy visit. The terrible experience of the revolution were impartially shared by the wives and daughters of the patriot soldiers, and their trials and endurance can never be fully portrayed." The "sufferings of the unfortunate inhabitants of the Mohawk valley were the measure of the delight with which they hailed the return of peace. The dispersed population returned to the blackened ruins of their former habitations, rebuilt their houses and again brought their farms under cultivation. With astonishing audacity the Tories now began to sneak back and claim place and property among those whom they had impoverished and bereaved. It was not to be expected that this would be tolerated. The outraged feelings of the community found expression at a meeting of the principal inhabitants of the Mohawk district, May 9, 1783." The words are quite poignant: "Taking into consideration the peculiar circumstances of this county relating to its situation, and the numbers that joined the enemy from among us, whose brutal barbarities in their frequent visits to their old neighbors are too shocking to humanity to relate; they have murdered the peaceful husbandman, and his lively boys about him unarmed and defenseless in the field. They have, with a malicious pleasure, butchered the aged and infirm; they have wantonly sported with the lives of helpless women and Children, numbers they have scalped alive, shut them up in their houses and burnt them to death. Several Children, by the vigilance of their friends, have been snatched from flaming buildings; and though tomahawked and scalped, are still living among us; they have made more than 300 widows and above 2000 orphans in this county; they have killed thousands of cattle and horses that rotted in the field; they have burnt more than two millions of bushels of grain, many hundreds of buildings, and vast stores of forage; and now these merciless fiends are creeping in among us again to claim the privilege of fellow-citizens, and demand a restitution of their forfeited estates; but can they leave their infernal tempers behind them and be safe or peaceable neighbors: Or can the disconsolate widow and the bereaved mother reconcile her tender feelings to a free and cheerful neighborhood with those who so inhumanly made ere such? Impossible! It is contrary to nature, the first principle of which is self-preservation. It is contrary to the law of nations, especially that nation which, for numberless reasons, we should be thought to pattern after... Resolved, unanimously, that all those who have gone off to the enemy or have been banished by any law of this State, or those, who we shall find, tarried as spies or tools of the enemy, and encourage and harbored those who went away, shall not live in this district on any pretence whatever; and as for those who washed their faces from Indian paint and their hands from the innocent blood of our dear ones, and have returned, either openly or covertly, we hereby warn them to leave this district before the 20th of June next, or they may expect to feel the just resentment of an injured and determined people..." Being that most of the Indian tribes, except the Oneidas and Tuscarawas who remained friendly to the Americans, had chosen the side of the British, they too were banished from the new America. Canada had to grant tracts of land to some of the Mohawks and others of the Six Nations. Other members of the Indian confederacy remained but only "after considerable negotiation [did] the United States [give] them peace on their relinquishing a large share of their territory." The "war of the Revolution had made the people of the other States familiar with New York." A tide of emigration began at the close of the war. Soon the large county of Tryon, renamed Montgomery in 1784, which encompassed western New York, was divided and redivided numerous times. "Prior to the Revolution, the inhabitants of the Mohawk valley, as has been seen, were for the most part the Germans, who came over from the Palatinate, and the Dutch, who tardily extended their settlements westward from Schenectady, together with some Scotch and Irish. But after that eventful period, people from New England, no less industrious and enterprising, came flocking in and took possession of the confiscated lands of the Tories, obtaining their title from the State, or pushing into the unbroken wilderness, brought new farms into cultivation." F. Original ownership in Florida township area. Walter Butler purchased from the Indians a tract of 86,000 acres which was divided into six tracts, one of which was transferred to Charles Williams and others, August 19th, 1735, and comprised the principal portion of what is now the township of Florida. The parties taking possession of this tract were to pay the yearly rent of 2 shillings, 6 pence for each 100 acres at the Custom House in New York, and agreed to settle and cultivate at least 3 acres out of every 50 within the next three years. Additionally all trees 24 inches in diameter and upwards, at 12 inches from the ground, were to be reserved for masts for the Royal Navy. This was the tract afterward owned by Sir Peter Warren, and known as Warrensbush, probably purchased by him in 1737; as a petition to be allowed to purchase 6,000 acres of land is filed by him in the Secretary of State's office, dated May 5th, 1737. This land remained in the Warren family for nearly sixty years. After the death of Sir Peter Warren, Warrensbush was divided into three parts: one part was conveyed to Charles Fitzroy, otherwise called Lord Southampton; one part to the Earl of Abingdon, and the third to Henry Gage. Abingdon and Gage conveyed their two shares to John Watts, of New York, who was formerly their attorney, and was also a brother-in-law to Sir Peter Warren. David Cady was agent for John Watts in Warrensbush. There was an anxiety to get rid of the vexatious ground rents, but the lease system was well entrenched, and the owners knew well their value; only slowly and gradually was the right to the soil obtained in the late 1780s and 1790s. The following quitclaim of certain leaseholds mentions the Fredericks, Youngs, and Services: "Whereas, John Watts of the city of New York, and Jane, his wife, did purchase from the Earl of Abingdon, of Great Britain, and from Henry gage and Susanna, his wife, and others their trustees, two tracts or parcels of land situated in a place called Warrensburgh, in the town of Mohawk, county of Montgomery, State of New York, formerly part of the estate of Sir Peter Warren... said John Watts hath sold and conveyed sundry lots thereof to David Cady, Nathan Stanton, Ezra Murray, Phillip and Peter Frederick, William and Peter Youngs... Christian and Peter Service... and sundry others, with covenants on the part of said John Watts to convey the same in full to them on payment of certain sums... Signed and sealed 13 Nov 1793." [I am sure which Peter is spoken of - the immigrant or the son of Philip.] G. In commenting on the various early churches in the area: "Early in 1796 a Free Will Baptist church organization was removed to Ames (where some of the members lived, including the minister Elder George Elliott) from a point several miles west, where it was established in 1794." Among the names of the original members is "Peter Frederick." I am not sure if this the original Johan Peter, his grandson Peter, or another grandson. 9. Various historical excerpts of early Mohawk history: A. Http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/history/montbio.html: Source: History of New York State 1523-1927; edited by Dr. James Sullivan c.1927: Early Montgomery County History: "General Richard Montgomery, born in Ireland December 2, 1736, became a citizen of New York, and, although a trained officer of the English Army, threw in his influence and service in the provincial affairs of America. On the opening of the Revolution he was made a general and ordered to march against Canada. He was successful at Chambly and Montreal, and in sole command of the attack against Quebec. But in his eagerness to be at the head of his men he was mortally wounded. Congress, in 1776, erected a monument to his memory, but the greatest memorial honor is that seventeen States have perpetuated his name by attaching it to as many counties, and almost as many cities. Three years before the breaking out of the Revolution a great section of Albany County was set aside and named after the English Governor of the province, William Tryon. With the victorious ending of the war Tryon's name was anathema to the lips of the patriots, and in 1784 honor was done to the dead hero of Quebec by changing the hated title to that of Montgomery... After the Revolution the Mohawk section and others began to have an accession of settlers, and the desire arose for smaller divisions of the State, and particularly Montgomery County. From 1789 to 1854 no fewer than thirty-five counties were carved from the original Montgomery, leaving it reduced, from being the larger part of New York State, to one of the smaller counties with an area of only 436 square miles. Thirty-two pieces had been removed from Montgomery. The boundaries were getting narrowed and the county compact. But the growth of cities had been greater in those along the Mohawk than in the more northerly sections, and there were also more villages to the south. Complaint was made that it took too long and was too costly to make the long trip to Johnstown [county seat] to attend to legal business. The result of this dissatisfaction was the removal of the county seat to Fonda. The residents of the north half of the county were incensed by this action and, in 1838, petitioned the Legislature to set their part off as a separate county, which was done under the title of Fulton... The county as left by this final division is bounded on the north by Fulton; on the east by Schenectady and Saratoga; on the south by Schenectady, Schoharie and Otsego; on the west by Herkimer. It is on both sides of the Mohawk, distant from Albany about forty miles... The settlement of this section of the State was the result of two very different streams of immigration. When Arent Van Corlear first visited the valley in 1661 he was immediately smitten with its charms, and straightway bought from the Indians large tracts of land. These purchases were confirmed by the English Governor, Dongan, in 1684, the Dutch having been displaced from power in New York. There was, however, no effort made to settle these tracts until early in the next century. In 1710, as a result of one of the religious wars of Europe, certain refugees from the Lower Palatinate of Germany fled to England, and from there were sent to the York colony. The first of these groups came in 1707, although the greater numbers arrived in 1710 (3,000), and were located on the Hudson. Dissatisfaction arose among them, and displeasure in the minds of those who felt they were their benefactors, with a result that the Palatines were sent off farther up the State by the English that they might be a barrier between the French and Indians and their precious selves. These Palatines did not prove much of a barrier in the war that soon followed, but they did scatter through much of the Montgomery region and exerted great influence in its development." 10. Various accounts of the Palatines in early Mohawk Valley: A. FHL book 974.761D2G "Early Families of Herkimer County New York, Descendants of the Burnetsfield Palatines," by William V.H. Barker, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1986, preface, the book gives some general local history per the following excerpts: "Herkimer County, in north central New York's Mohawk Valley, received its name in 1791 in memory of General Nicholas Herkimer, the Revolutionary War militia commander... There were probably in excess of 15,000 Indians in the region about the year 1700, but by the time of the American Revolution their population had eroded to about 10,000... due in part to lack of resistance to European diseases. Their numbers then fell sharply during and just after the Revolution as a result of migrations to Canada and points westward, the exodus being necessitated by the fact that most of the Iroquois, except for the Oneidas, took the British side during the War of Independence..." "As to the early Europeans, the Dutch traders of Fort Orange (now Albany) initiated commerce with the Mohawk Valley Indians in the early 1600s... The Dutch traded alcoholic beverages, firearms, tools, and fabrics in exchange for land and beaver hides. In 1664 the British took control of New York State and the Mohawk Valley area came under the jurisdiction of Albany County from that time until about 1774 when it became Tryon county (in 1784 the area was renamed as Montgomery county, the western portion of which was set off in 1791 as Herkimer County). In modern times, Herkimer County bounded by Oneida County on the west and by Montgomery and Fulton Counties on the east. Prior to 1760 there was only limited settlement by the Dutch or English to the west of Schenectady, since the Mohawk region was vulnerable to incursion of the French and their Indian allies from Canada..." [N.B. Tryon was changed to Montgomery because Tryon followed the Tory cause whereas Montgomery was a patriot.] "With the exception of a few families, such as the Fondas, Schuylers, and Van Slykes, the Dutch and English seem to have been little induced to settle the Mohawk Valley, and so the opportunity fell to a group of immigrant Germans from the Palatinate, or lower Rhineland area in central Europe. Several thousand of these Palatines had left their German homelands, being much reduced in circumstance after years of warfare with France, and had gone to England at Queen Anne's invitation in 1709... The English temporarily housed many of these people in tents outside London and early in 1710 about 2,000 were placed aboard ships for passage to the American colonies, being promised land in New York in exchange for work in Hudson River camps, to be set up for the production of pitch for use in sealing naval vessels. There were delays in embarking and the Palatines were crowded into undersized and ill provisioned ships so that the Atlantic Ocean crossing itself became a tragedy in which, by New York Gov. Hunter's account, some 466 of them perished. From 1710 to 1712 the German immigrants required government subsidy, and the payment records by Gov. Hunter to heads of households survive (as in Knittle) and are referred to throughout this book as the NY Palatine Subsistence List. The pitch operations having failed, the Germans had to fend for themselves, moving for a while to contested lands in the Schoharie Valley west of Albany." "The Palatines remained a displaced people without land entitlement until September 1721 when the Albany City council endorsed their petition to purchase Mohawk Valley land, not closer to Albany then 40 miles west of Ft. Hunter. Then on October 16, 1721, New York Governor William Burnet, presumably wishing to see buffer settlements of a friendly population in the central Mohawk area, granted the appropriate license, which allowed the Palatines, in 1722, to purchase land from the Indians in the vicinity of where the West Canada creek flows into the Mohawk River. Upon completion of the survey of these lands in 1723, and in response to the request of Palatine leaders Joseph Petrie and Conrad Richaert, the deeds were prepared under the designation of the Burnetsfield Patent. At about the same time, other Palatines received land grants at Stone Arabia and elsewhere in the Mohawk Valley... the Burnetsfield Patentees... were wholly within the present county of Herkimer [as opposed to other area Palatines in other parts of the Valley]..." "From 1723 onwards, until the French and Indian Wars commenced, [the area] was generally at peace and the residents prospered to the extent that some writers have termed the community almost utopian. Wheat grew abundantly in the fertile soil and the accumulation of livestock and goods was extensive..." "At 3 a.m. on Nov. 12, 1757, disaster struck German Flats [as Herkimer was then known] in the form of a surprise raid by a French and Indian war party... 40 killed, 150 prisoners, and much booty taken... After the 1757 devastation there were periods of relief such as the negotiated return of some prisoners in 1758 and the building, in that same year, of Ft. Stanwix as a protective outpost about 35 miles west of German Flats. With the French surrender to English forces at Montreal in 1760, relative peace was restored to the Mohawk Valley, although occasional difficulties with the Indians required that the settlers maintain a more vigilant militia than had been required in earlier years..." "Of particular note to the modern-day researcher is the fact that many of the early... families both moved and visited up and down the Mohawk Valley, thereby necessitating the search of church records over a wide geographic area for the presence of relevant marriage and baptism entries. Of note also is the information value of the baptismal sponsors, as those individuals were usually of the same generation (except when a grandparent would be sponsor for a grandchild of the same given name) and most often were brothers or sisters of the parents." "The second devastation to fall upon… the surrounding... area came from alignments brought about by the American War of Independence. The British enrolled most of the area Indians, plus several Mohawk Valley settlers as well, to the Tory cause, and in August 1777 the bloody battle of Oriskany pitted former neighbor against neighbor... Oriskany turned the British back to Canada momentarily, but a year later they were back in a more nefarious form of military tactic, that of the hit and run assault on isolated settlements. From 1778 through 1782, the British waged a war of attrition in the Mohawk Valley, with members of raiding parties paid eight dollars for each scalp taken, regardless of the victim's combative status, sex, or age... Sometimes the settlers had to scramble quickly into the forts..." "By the end of the American Revolution, the... region was severely depleted in manpower and resources and a new phase of rebuilding began with the expansion westward of New Englanders, who were lured by the open lands of northern New York which had become available with the departure of the Indians. The resultant shift in population base was evident in the 1790 census when about a third of the... area people appear to be new arrivals of English extraction..." B. The following is from http://www.threerivershms.com/knittlesubsistence.htm with the following explanation: "'Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration - A British Government Redemptioner Project to Manufacture Naval Stores,' by Walter Allen Knittle, Ph.D., Department of History, College of the City of New York, Published Philadelphia, 1937: The New York Subsistence List. This list was compiled from the "journal" of Palatine debtors to the British government for subsistence given either in New York City or in the Hudson River settlements, from their landing in 1710 to September, 1712. The list was found in the Public Record Office, C. O. 5/1230 and was corrected from the accompanying "ledger," C. O. 5/1231. As it seemed advisable to include some indication of the number in each family and since limitations of space forbade the inclusion of the six notations at various times given in the journal, only two notations have been given here, that is, the first in 1710 usually and the last in 1712 normally. Thus, with "Abelman, Johann Peter 2-1, 2-0," the size of the family signified is two adults and one child under ten years of age; by 1712 the child had died for we have noted only two adults. All children over ten years of age were given the full allowance for adults and were therefore not distinguished from more mature members of the family. Where only one notation of family size appears, the presumption is of death, or in the case of women, of marriage." The following are the only Frederick listings and I am not sure of the relation if any: Friderich, Conrad 4-0, 4-0 Friderich, Hanns Adam 1-0, 2-0 [Kerry's note: nothing similar to Saltz nor C(K)assadt.] [Kerry's note: Some LDS member generated genealogies have attempted to connect our Johan Peter Frederick to the Conrad Frederick listed on the Palatine list above. Conrad and Hans Adam Frederick are not apparently related per the following information contained in the book "The Palatine Families of New York, A Study of German Immigrants Who Arrived in Colonial New York in 1710," by Henry Z. Jones, Jr., 1985, pp.250-251: Conrad Friderich (Hunter Lists #212). Koenraat Fredrik, his wife and 2 ch. were recorded on Capt. Lionel Allan's ship in Holland in the 5th party of 1709 (Rotterdam Lists); on that same vessel were Palatines from the Nassau-Darmstadt region who also eventually settled in colonial N.J. (i.e. Koenraat and Bastiaan Meinsinger, Peter Wannemager and Adam Labag) (HJ). Conrad Friderich made his initial appearance on the Hunter Lists 1 July 1710 with 4 pers. over 10 yrs. of age in the household. Conrad Frederich aged 52, Anna Maria Frederich aged 45, John Peter Frederich aged 14, and John Conrad Frederich aged 13, remained in N.Y. City in 1710/11 (Palatines in NY City). Certain provisions were advanced to him as a settler on the Ramapo Tract: a bushel of wheat and 1 skipel of peas 9 Apr 1713, 6 fathoms of white roap 17 April 1713, 2 bushels of wheat 10 May 1713, and 2 bushels indian corne 26 May 1713 (Ramapo Tract Mss.). Conrad Friederich and his wife Anna Maria with 2 ch. were at Hackensack ca. 1716/17 (Simmendinger Register). A sp. in 1711 gave the maiden name of his wife Anna Maria as Wysing (NY City Ref. Chbk.).

Hans Adam Fredrick made his initial appearance on tax rolls in the North Ward in 1717/18 and continued until 1725/26 (Dutchess Co. Tax Lists)."] 11. There is a Michael Frederick (Friederich) of nearby Guiderland in Albany, New York. Many have tried and continue to try to connect him to our Frederick family, but modern researchers have thoroughly shown that he is not related. Additionally he had sons Michael (who married Catherine Wagner) and Thebald (who married Margaret Merkle) who some have erroneously tried to make the sons of our Philip Frederick. Some of the confusion was that both separate families were partially recorded at the Schoharie Church (but never in conjunction with each other). Here is some of the published research: A.

The book "Descendants of Michael Frederick," Kenneth J. Frederick, 1992, copy in the Montgomery Co., NY, Archives, copies of pertinent pages on file with me. Kenneth's book is very detailed and leaves no question that Michael with his three sons, Michael Jr., Stephan, and Tebalt were of a separate unrelated family. The book contains photos of the homesteads, detailed information on marriages, deaths, tombstones, and so forth. Kenneth has also studied and devoted a section of his book on his research of all other contemporaneous Frederick family records of the area to see if relationships existed with his branch. He includes this research so that the next generation of researchers will have forehand knowledge of the early Albany County Frederick relationships. He has determined conclusively that there is no relationship among the earliest pre-1740 Fredericks. He does however rely on the erroneous research of Alida Miller who incorrectly connects our Johan Peter Frederick to Conrad, then John, then to Kim Frederick and Alida Duyts of early New Amsterdam; he does however recognize that there appears to be some inconsistencies at Alida's Conrad connection. He remarks that the early Fredericks came to this country as devout Protestants and as concerned Christians it is not surprising that they insisted that their children's baptisms, marriages and burials be sanctified by whatever circuit rider man of God visited their farms after such a need arose, be that a German Lutheran rector, or a Dutch Reformed dominie, as long as all parties could converse in German. These riders came from the early churches in Albany, Rensselair, Schenectady, Schoharie, and Tryon counties [and even from New York City]. Even though they were quite diligent in recording the rites of the church they had administered on these trips in their home Church books, not always did they note the settlement which had been visited. As a consequence we see historians err time and again in pinpointing the exact location of their ancestors' first farms in America. This would provide some overlapping Frederick events in the same church records even though the two Frederick families in question were not related or even possibly knew of each other. Kenneth also takes a detail look into the two immigrants Conrad and Adam. His comments are based on the work of Henry Jones, whom I have already quoted elsewhere in these notes showing that they also were not related to our Johan Peter Frederick. Michael S. Frederick, Sr., was married to Gertrude Livingston (Loewenstein). The had sons Michael, Stephan, and Tebalt: a. Their son Michael md. Catherine Elizabeth Wagner on 21 Jan 1761 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Schoharie. Michael inherited the homestead with one third previously split off for his brothers Stephan and Tebalt. Michael and his wife lived on this homestead all their lives. He died 10 Nov. 1813 at the age of 88 (tombstone). Catherine died 29 Sep 1820. Despite Michael's late marriage he and his wife had a total of 11 children, five sons and six daughters. Michael appears to have been born in Germany and came to this country around 1738 in the company of his pa | Frederick, Johan Peter (I1871)
