    • RESEARCH_NOTES;
      1. 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: "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." [N.B. Tryon was changed to Montgomery because Tryon followed the Tory cause whereas Montgomery was a patriot.]

      BIRTH:
      1. The Philip Frederick Mill dates from 1750 according to the New York state historical highway marker sign. Maria Saltz's father lived just down the road. This would help us surmise that all of their children were born at "Millpoint" within the modern boundaries of Florida township in Montgomery County. Millpoint still shows up on modern-day maps and was probably named after the Frederick Mill. See Philip's notes for more on this mill and its present-day location.

      2. The following is from the 3 Nov 2007 personal family tree website <http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/d/Glen-D-Mcdowell/PDFGENE6.pdf>: "Caterina Frederick, b. 13 May 1764 in Caugnhawaga Dutch Reform Church, Fonda, NY. There is no substantiation for the date, but it does work with the documented "1764" christening date. She was not of course born in the church, so the website author is incorrect in regards to location. The location she uses is actually the christening location.

      CHRISTENING:
      1. "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, offspring of Philip Frederick and Sophia Saltz, baptized 1764.
