As a descendant of Richard Elwood and an Architect, I have taken a particular interest in the ongoing debate as to the builder of Fort Klock. The contract with Sir William Johnson is compelling to me, but not definitive. The inscription over the addition to the initial structure seem to insure that the addition was built by the Klocks. An examination of the stonework, both in restored state in in earlier unrestored pictures, reveals stonework likely NOT produced by a Master Mason, but by a Journeyman Mason, or possibly even Apprentices. The addition however illustrates a book-knowledge of masonry technique, and a stone iteration of Flemish Bond brick laying, with tie-stones at appropriate intervals. I would need to more closely examine the wall of the initial building to see how those walls were tied, if at all. The 1955 photo reveals settlement and wall deformation that indicate that if the walls were cross-tied it was not done with much success. I would like to know if the Restoration Group has done any "forensic" research and evaluation of the two quite different stone laying techniques in an attempt to shed more light on the builders. Certainly the fact that George Klock's fortified
house is named Fort House, after its carpenter builder, and also an ancestor of mine, indicates that the common practice of naming a building after its builder was in effect in the Klock family. Looking at the extensive land purchases by the Klocks in the Patent on the north side of the river indicates that they were prosperous, while the sudden death of Richard, and the subsequent move by both
the Widow Elwood and one of the Houses, to the poorer south side of the river, indicates that Richard Elwood was not prosperous, but was surly a stone mason, although probably NOT a Master.My guess is that he was, as an employee of a Torie, not looked on with favor by Restorers and Reinactors, even though his children were renown for their service to the Revolutionary cause. I would like to be proven wrong in this assumption, but would also like to confirm what this webpage has already suggested, and that is that Richard Elwood was probably allowed to live in the house (probably its cellar, which was common at the time) in lieu of pay, until is indenture was worked off. That Sir William Johnson's initial requests for a "draw" came after Richard Elwood's death is telling to me. I look forward to visiting the house as soon as possible and examining further. Hoping for your cooperation as you can.

I am a descendent of Christian Cossilman born Stone Arabia 1802, son of John Joseph and Barbara (Coughenet) Casselman. Currently (2009) researching and composing history of my branch of a bountiful tree that was planted in Stone Stone Arabia by Hans Dietrich in 1723 after a long, often tortuous, but relentless journey. I encourage all his descendents to visit his still very beautiful orchard (Stone Arabia) sometime in their life.

My compliments on your beautiful site. I do have a correction as it relates to Charles Albert Vader #1757. His second wife was Marion Lamont Main (not Murray). She was my grandfather's sister and I have the marriage license of Charles & Marion. She was b. July 1, 1857 in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Charles and she were married on May 26, 1910 in Alberta, Canada. She returned to Scotland in 1931 and died June 18, 1933 at Old Luce District, Wigtown, Scotland. I am not sure why "Murray" has gotten circulated instead of 'Main'. There was a Jessie Murray as one of their witnesses.
Thank you accepting this correction.

Hello, I have found your website immensely helpful and fascinating in researching my ancestors on my father's side. My great grandfather George E Camm, Sr. married Dorothy Nellis (1843-1927). My sisters and I grew up in Johnstown and are now amazed at the rich heritage that we didn't know about.
Recently, I located 2 Camm first cousins in LA, and they have also been blessed with learning about their ancestors, about whom they knew nothing.
Thank you.

PS I have a photograph of my grandmother standing with, I think it may be, Dorothy Nellis. Is there some way that I could send the photograph and have the identity verified??? Thank you.

I was looking into my ancestorial history. I saw that one of my ancestors "William H Webb, born 1 Jan. 1845" was listed as being born in Passakie. When searching out the word Passakie to find the location, I discovered your site had two listings for Passakie. They are the last names of Henry and Christian. So, to say the least, while it is confusing, I believe there must be a clue to his birth lying somewhere here. Thanks for a great view of your history. It was interesting!
If anyone has any information that could help me in my search, please contact me.

Hi
I am not new but would like to comment about the story of Max Reid in regard to Comte Frontenac, his half daughter and the successful escape of this daughter Oneta with her Indian husband Achawi.
According to known historical writings and Canadian historians there is no evidence of Fronetac having a half Indian daughter at all, there is nomewhere a reference that instead the Mohawks accused Frontenac of having kidnapped one of the Indian women. There also seems to ve no sources given by Reid for this story. It appears therefore that those accounts are fiction and the story should be rather clearly labeld "a Legend" or "A supposed story" They way it is presented it looks like this is actually a fact not fiction.
Thanks

Re: The origins of Stone Arabia. http://www.fortklock.com/saorigin.htm
Hi!
Just wanted to give the probable explanation for that name, since I found your site when I looked for the term on Yahoo.
That is an old misconception of the Roman name "Arabia Petraea". This could be interpreted as "Stone/stony Arabia", but really it means "Arabia around Petra", the famous city carved out of the rocks in the Syrian desert. This was a well-known joke in the time when more people spoke latin and whoever named the counterpart in America repeated that joke, though of course possibly in German.

This is the first time I have viewed this site. I am fascinated that my paternal ancester, Johannes Bellinger, is mentioned here as well as his daughters. As a portrait artist, I love to paint family history. I painted my youngest son as he portrays Henry Bellinger after the deaths of Johannes Sr., Johannes Jr., and Frederick Bellinger at the battle of Oriskany. This painting was purchased by New York State Historic Society and will be unveiled August 6 as a permanent exhibit there. I am hoping to fly in for the occasion and hopefully meet other Bellingers and Klocks. Is there any way to contact the descendents of Johannes Bellinger? Please let me know.

I have old photocopies of mY ggggrandfather George Wagoner's military service in the First Regiment Tryon County Militia. He was wounded at Oriskany and was carried to Fort Plain by another soldier. His father, Inglehardt Wagner was a Lt. in the same militia but was not at the fight due to health.
One of the papers is signed by Jellis Fonda, and there are others as well. George was also at battle of Johnstown, and West Canada Creek, and ran down to Cherry Valley as well. Aside from serving with Cox and Campbell, he also served with Willet. He married Maria Lipe and there is an affadavit describing his wedding by Dominic Gros, as stated by Margaret Charlesworth.
They are buried at Sand Hill cemetery.
I would like to mail you copies of these pension papers.
Please e-mail me an address and I will copy to you.

I would be very interested in any information about John R Millar (incorrectly spelled as "Miller" on the Little Falls site). I have a paper weight in the form of a heap of dollars issued by National Automotive Fibres Inc which, on the back, has the inscription "Your friendship is worth more to me than a whole pile o' gold. J.R. Millar, Chairman". I think John Millar may be a distant relative of mine (I live in Glasgow in Scotland) and my late mother had memories of him visiting Scotland perhaps in the late 1940s or early 50s. I see from the Little Falls website that the company closed in 1954. What happened to John Millar and his family? Glad to have any information.

I thought that this was an "ordinary" battle scene, until I saw the horrific scene at the lower left. The poor lady! Seeing a scalp already hanging on her attacker's belt, she knows her fate.

Hi, Again a great resource. I appreciate everyone's effort to make this work as well as it does. Also, Dave, you mentioned you wanted some information on:
Dale F. Klock b. 10 Aug. 1898 d. 19 Sept. 1981, Res., Lake Mich. Roscommon County, Mich. died in Lake, Roscommon Co. Mich. Death Certificate # 53416
Fredrick Klock died at age 81, in Lake, Roscommon County, Mich. Death Certificate # 53416
I would be surprised if I was wrong here, but I believe these two men were one in the same as my grandfather Dale.
It's also my understanding he 'adopted' his middle name very young.
499. FREDRICK DALE8 KLOCK (FRANK C.7, WESLEY6, CHRISTIAN5, JOHN J.4, JOHN J.3, JOHANNES I.2, HENDRICK1) was born August 10, 1898, and died September 19, 1981 in Belding, Michigan. He married THEDA L. JACOTT. She was born June 06, 1904, and died October 05, 1973 in Greenville, Mich.
Children of FREDRICK KLOCK and THEDA JACOTT are:
i. JAMES D. KLOCK.
ii. BEVERLY KLOCK, m. UNKNOWN NEIBERDING.
Notes for UNKNOWN NEIBERDING:
The Neiberding's live in Cleveland, Ohio
iii. DONNA KLOCK, d. March 2002; m. UNKNOWN BRADFORD.

Note: Klock Connections
Hi everyone, Matt inquired about receiving the newsletter, Klock Connections. I tried to e-mail him but the could not get the link to his e-mail address to work, so I thought I would respond to his posting in this guest book. Matt, if you or anyone would like to receive the Newsletter, "Klock Connections" just e-mail me at klock@swmcom.net and let me know. I presently mail Klock Connections to about 130 Klock and Klock connected people in the US. I also send it to one Klock Family in England, France, Japan, and Australia, two in Germany, and e-mail it to about 50 more in MS Word.
I would be happy to add you to my mailing list. Just e-mail me and let me know you would like to receive Klcok Connections.

I am a descendant of several Tryon County Militia Members who were at the Battle of Oriskany (George Waggoner & John Countryman) both of whom are on the battle plaque at the memorial. (above Waggoner, son of Inglehardt Waggoner) I am also a VanAlstyne descendant and many Uncles and Cousins were there as well.
I think this site (Klock) is absolutely wonderful and so well done that it deserves a big hurrah! It rivals anything I have ever seen along these lines. I should have posted this commendation a long time ago.
When someone wishes to know about the Mohawk in the Revolution I point them here, always.
Well done!

This is a wonderful site! Do you have anyone that could answer some questions for me? I am very confused. It looks to me like I am descended from a couple inter-family marriages of Klocks and Walraths if I am reading everything right. Here is what I have:
I am descended from Mary Ann Walrath and Bejamin Beck.
Mary Ann Walrath’s parents were Jacob Abraham Walrath and Maria (Polly) Klock.
Her father: Jacob Abraham Walrath’s parents were Johan Jacob Adam Walrath and Magdelena (Lana) Klock (Old George, Hendrick and Maria Margaretha Walrath).
Her mother: Maria Polly Klock’s parents were Jacob Joh Klock (Johannes, Hendrick) and Anna G. Klock (Old George Klock, Hendrick).
So it seems to me that Anna G. Klock married her 1st cousin. Plus her mother-in-law was her Aunt. There is possibly another inter-family marriage regarding her mother Maria Margaretha Walrath (dau of Heinrich Conrad Walrath). I have not traced the Walraths back from Heinrich Conrad yet, but there may be a connection to Jacob Abraham Walrath.
Do I have everything straight? It seems pretty bizzare.
Thank you very much!

I am really amazed at the volume of material here as well as the depth and breadth of sources. This is a treasure trove for me, in that until recently I had not found new information on my ancestors in some time.
Thank you so much for this site and to all the people who have contributed to it. I hope to contribute something myself one day.
I am particularly interested in finding information on Capt. David McMaster, my direct ancestor, who was in Col. Vischer's regiment. We do not know where he is buried. His will is dated October 1800, Town of Florida, and his executrix was his wife Esther. She was daughter of Rev. William Johnstone who settled Sidney (the Johnstone Settlement). The final resting place of his parents James and Sarah Gordon(or Ann?) McMaster is also unknown to me. I would love to hear from others with whom I could exchange information. I would very much like to do a history of the McMasters in this country.
Thank you so much for this wonderful resource.

I wanted to note something that I have not seen on all "Battle of Oriskany" sites. Johannes (John) Boyer, as well as his son Johannes (John) Boyer, Jr. were in the battle. Sometimes, I only see the Sr. and sometimes the Jr. As far as my research has taught me was that the son was with the father, and Johannes Boyer (the father) lost a horse and a wagon in the battle. Although John Boyer, Jr. is not my direct ancestor, John Boyer Sr. was my 10th great grandfather. I am very proud of that. I wish that someone had a photo of them.

Also connections to Petrie, Nellis, Loucks and other Palatine families. The one connection I have not been able to doucument is that of Peter J. Young b 19 Oct 1771, m Catherine Brass 1798, as son of Jacob Young and Maritje Petrie who were married about 1771 in Saugerties. Much evidence - documented siblings Elias and Jeremiah were baptismal sponsers for Peter's children, Jacob and second wife Magdalena Dinehart were sponsers also. Peter - Jacob - Peter - Jacob naming convention for the first sons was followed. I would be happy to communicate with anyone who is interested in this line or who might have additional information.

Our ancestors lived in the Herkimer area. There are baptism records at the Reformed Church in Herkimer.
We found the transcription of the church records at:
http://groups.msn.com/GENEALOGYGENERAL/newyorkstate.msnw
This “helper linkö takes you to the Mormon site and helps you access just the real church records that are
in the data banks of the Mormon’s computers which consist of transcriptions of church records and also submissions from people. This “helper linkö puts the Batch # into the Mormon search so all you get is church records…no risky submissions that could be false or have errors. Once at the Mormon search page, just put the Last name in, and select “North Americaö and if there are church records, they will pop up.
We’ve been hunting and hunting to get back to the Keller who fought in the Revolutionary War. We thought that our Kellers crossed into the Klock and Windecker tree, but now we are not so sure.
We need to hire a genealogist from the historic Herkimer area. If anyone knows of a good person
who could look up land records, state census records, will records, please email us
piec@execpc.com. We have a very good idea who we are after, but need proof with some kind of documents that this Keller is ours. We can’t find our proof ourselves, even though we’ve tried through the land mail. We live out-of-state.

It states that John's father was Michael Keller. Much of the info in the book's entry was correct. Some of it, though, I believe is not correct.

3-23-04 RE: Keller line
I'm back again. I've come a long way since my first posting here. I do believe it was the people at this site who connected me with the Herkimer DAR people. One person at the DAR has been really helping me. Also now the Herkimer Historian has found some very good material for me.
I discovered that Henry Keller and Jacob Keller, his son, were living in Little Falls Township on the north side of the river. They were living in Glen's purchase Lot #17.
I really wish I knew more about the patents. I haven't been able to locate any information about the non-Burnetsfield patents. All I know is that Glen's purchase was 1739. If someone at your site has any info on the patents in the area..please post it. Maps would be great.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am German citizen and researching my family. My Grandfathers last name is DADT. I found that his Grandfathers name was spelled DATT. Grandfathers full name is Friedrich DATT born 16 October 1813, baptised on 24 October 1813, wife Dorothea Reuß, His father was Johannes DATT, wife Margaretha Anna Koch. I saw that you had the JOHANNES DATT and wife MARGARETHA also listed and was wondering if they are identical? The years seem to be correct. Please reply! Thanks!

Excellent site. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about every day life during that time frame. The fact that my Sickles ancestors were part of it all, makes it that much more interesting. Thank you for sharing.

My mother's ancestors, the Harters, were among the 1710 group to come to the Hudson Valley. This web site has given me a large amount of valuable information. The on-line book by Knittle was especially useful for background history.

The site was very informative. I have been tracing the history of Mathias (Matthew, Matheus) Brunk (Bronk, Brong). I have catalogued much of the family history up to the present if anyone is interested.

I recently stumbled upon your site, WOW. I was most amazed to see the submission of Clifford Young's book, The Young (Jung) Families of the Mohawk Valley(1710-1946).
A couple years ago I entered the the Jerg Hans Jung descendants into a genealogy database and posted the results hoping to extend the tree past the published date of 1947, see http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/6501/young/index.htm
Great site

Just a short update. I have now added to my web-site: dbflint-colonial-wars.com my latest book in the David Burton Flint Colonial Book Series, 'Trail of Broken Chains.'
I hope you will visit my web site and review my latest novel, as well as new articles, and pictures of the Mohawk Valley. After doing book signings In Cherry Valley last September, I had a few hours to take new phots of places I like. I hope to see all my friends this coming year.

I wish all of you a Great New Year.

Thank you so much for your site! I am originally from Canajoharie & Fort Plain, but am currently living in Orlando, FL. It is great to be able to revisit so much from home, and your historical information is helpful for my son's research report on the Mohawk Indians. I found your site and started looking for info on the Iroquois and soon got side-tracked with so much other information!

This amazing site delivered info on William P. Webster (d. May 1900) whose Mohawk Valley roots stem from the 18th century; the info helped me date a Utica photograph. Also thrilled to see that someone is restoring the Fox House (St. Johnsville).

I was recommended this site by possibly a very distant cousin of a cousin. I found the church histories to be
very good.
I am researching the Keller line. James H. , John 1799, and we think his father may have been names John also.

This site is great. I am a decendent of John Ried and his wife Dorothea Sutz. My family always knew that John's father was murdered and scalped by Indians but we did not know exactly when just during the Revolutionary War. This site finally gave me that information in Dorothea's fathers pention application. Thanks.
