Chapter
One
Believing
that since the list of the names of the persons who served in the militia
in the upper Mohawk valley, previous to the Revolution, will command general
interest, I have collected from the reports of the state historian, the names
of persons who served from 1757 to 1767 in the militia companies of Captians
Petry, Dygert, Klock, Conrad Frank, Lieut. Van Alstein and Col. Jost Herkimer's
Granadier company of men to be officers in the militia, and hereby submit
them for your consideration.
The
first record of appointment of officers for the upper valley that I find was
when Gov. William Crosby gives the "List of officers of the Militia for
Albany Co., Nov. 17, 1733." "or above ye falls of ye Maquas (Mohawk)
River." Capt. Johan Jurgh Kast (who drew lot 22 on north side), Lieut.
John Jost Herkemer (who drew lot 36 on south side, although he seems to have
lived on lot 24 in the second farm above the present stone church, Lieut.
Thomas Shoemaker (who drew lot 12 on north side) and for Ensign Fredrik Starin.
(Now since there was no other name on the Burnettsfield patent at this time
to fit this one I assume that since the first name is shortened, that the
last name is shortened also, and that this is Frederick Staring who drew lot
24 on the north side).
These
four men were all located at German Flatts. If I am wrong in any of my comments
I shall faldly be corrected. Now we will give the names of the men in the
companies. The names are spelled as in the records, viz.
1757,
Vol. IV page 130 Feb. 26. Capt. Mark Petry's return received February 26th,
1757.

The above spelling
is taken as the clerk of the company wrote it down in the records and are not

You will note
that the date of this return is the year of the French invasion at German Flatts.
This company appears to have been located on the north side fo the river at
German Flatts. There appears to have been an Adam Helmer, Jr. and a Frederick
Helmer, Jr. at this date.

This company
was out for four days with Capt. Jacob Klock's Co. on an Indian Alarm at the
German Falls, from July 24 to July 28, both days included.
This company
was short at this time due to there being fourteen men who did (not?) respond
to the call. This list is given which shows the delinquents:

I think we ought
not to condemn these delinquents too much. Note the date, July 24th. This would
be during the haying time and the harvesting of winter wheat. These men were
farmers and it is a tough assignment to be called out and leave your crops to
rot and spoil in the field, not knowing how long you will be away. Those were
strenuous days.

"All the
above mentioned persons have lawfully excused themselves except George Klock,
who says that he is free by an act of the Assembly because he is a Miller and
his son George he kept back in the Alarm till the second Day on which Day he
came with the Parcel of Indians. He being asked what kept him so long answer'd
that he waited for the Indians of which he was to be Commander for which Reason
I think that I may fine him as ere long I intend to do." * Signed--Capt.
Jacob Klock.
It must be borne
in mind that there might be many good reasons why these early settlers were
lawfully unable to answer these Indian and other alarms. But continued neglect
of duty and failure to answer to the call of the commanding officer of the militia
generally meant a fine.
It is surprising
to see how strict these wilderness soldiers were in regard to their military
affairs.

I suggest that

is meant for Jurie i.e. George. You note the list has no name of George. Later,
but no date given, Lieut. Gose Van Alstein is recommended for Captain in this
Canajoharie company. His commission seems to have been dated "Nov'br. 6th,
1763." "For a company at Canajoharie whereof Ferall Wade was formerly
Capt'n."
You will note
that there was a senior and a junior Henry Schramling. It was this Schramling
family that married into the John Frederick Hess and Catherine Nellis family
and moved into Otsego county, N. Y.
Chapter
VI
We now come
to a very interesting report by Col. John Jost Herekheimer (Herkimer). This
includes what he calls "The Grannadier Co." I find that this seems
to be an English term. "Originally a foot soldier armed with grenades.
The grenadiers were men of long service and approved courage, and only a few
were attached to each regiment. Afterwards every regiment had one company of
grenadiers and they retained their name even after the disuse of grenades, and
were distinguished by a particular dress." Today I am told by one of our
teachers, an Englishman of wide experience in teaching both here and in England,
that the term now is only applied to the king's body guard called "The
Grenadier Guard."

beginning at least, while others if not too old served as privates in the ranks,
and others if alive and able to serve at all were in a company called the exempts.

This company
was located on the south side of the Mohawk at German Flatts. "Conradt
Frank to be Captain of the Company w'h Peter Pellinger Commands. He being too
old and unfit for service." Peter Pellinger Jr. was to be 2nd Lieut. in
Conrad Frank's Co. While this statement appears to have been made in 1762, Capt.
Frank was not commissioned until Jan. 17, 1764. Altho I have no record that
Capt. Frank's Co. or Capt. Petry's Co. were called out with Capt. Klock's Co.
and Capt. Deyger's Co. July 24 to 28, 1763, due to an Indian alarm at German
Flatts, it would only be reasonable to suppose that they were called out, and
perhaps the reason they were not mentioned in the records is because they were
supposed to be on duty there at German Flatts anyway. There would be no reason
for calling out the Stone Arabia and Palatine Companies to go to German Flatts
and not call out the two companies there already. It will be noted that the
patentees of Conrad Frank's patent and the First and Second Staley's tracts,
now mostly comprised in the Town of Columbia Herkimer county, were made up of
the names in this company. It will be noted also that these families intermarried
to a very great degree.

It will be noted
that these names appear as from the north side fo the river at German Flatts.
It will be noted also that no name of Hess or Staring appears at this date,
hence I conclude that the Staring family did not move into the town of Schuyler
until some time after this date.
The German Flatts
Hess families stayed on the south side of the Mohawk until after the Revolution
except Johnnes Hess, Sr. who had moved to the Harrison Patent 1732, but his
oldest son Augustinus Hess, Sr. Stayed on the original Lot 31.
