Here Nicholas passed his boyhood and here he rested when returning wounded from the Battle of Oriskany. Placed by Astenrogen Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution of Little Falls, June 14, 1912. (40-Mile Route Marker) Fort Herkimer Church formed the central defense of Fort Herkimer throughout the Revolutionary War. During the war, a swivel gun was mounted atop the church tower and a wall of logs surrounded the church. After being wounded at the Battle of Oriskany, General Herkimer was brought to the church by boat from Old Fort Schuyler. He stayed overnight on August 6, 1777 and was moved to his home the next day. A year after the battle of Oriskany, Joseph Brant and a large party of Tories led a raid south of Fort Herkimer into the area that was called the German Flatts. A party of four American scouts came in contact with the raiders. Three were killed, but one scout, John Adam Helmer, was able to escape and warn the settlers in the area. All found shelter at Fort Dayton and Herkimer. There was no loss of life, but much loss of property. 1 of 3 6/16/17, 4:43 PM Fort Herkimer, NY -- A Site on a Revolutionary War Road Trip http://revolutionaryday.com/nyroute5/ftherkimer/default.htm Here was born Nicholas Herkimer, eldest son of Johan Jost Herkimer.

  • How Fort Plain Became Fort Rensselaer by Norman J
    10/27/2011 1 How Fort Plain Became Fort Rensselaer By Norman J. Bollen On Aug 2, 1780 Joseph Brant raided the Minden section of the Canajoharie District in Tryon County, NY. Colonel Abraham Wemple of the Tryon Militia was escorting a supply column up the Mohawk to Fort Schuyler when he happened upon the raid in progress. The Colonel formed his men for a fight and pursued Brant as far as Fort Plank, located several miles south of the Mohawk River. That evening the Colonel wrote a report from Fort Plank describing the actions of the day. On Aug 3rd he returned to his supply column on the Mohawk to resume his march to Fort Schuyler. General Robert Van Rensselaer, who had been at Fort Schuyler at the time of the raid, returned to Canajoharie and established a new headquarters to deal with the aftermath of the raid and take steps to protect the middle Mohawk Valley. The following year infighting between General Van Rensselaer and some of the Tryon Militia officers caused a severe rift resulting in a court-martial proceeding against the general. Blame for the handling of the valley defenses the previous summer was being placed squarely on Van Rensselaer by local residents. Militia commanders and rank & file alike refused to recognize the General’s name of Fort Rensselaer and called it Fort Plain instead. After a decision was made to abandon Fort Schuyler and pull back to a more defensible location Marinus Willett arrived at Fort Plain and determined to make it his headquarters in the Mohawk Valley.

Photograph by Joy Bilharz. ExEcuTivE SuMMARy The Mohawk Valley Battlefield Ethnography Project was designed to document the relationships between contemporary Indian peoples and the events that occurred in central New York during the mid to late eighteenth century. The particular focus was Fort Stanwix, located near the Oneida Carry, which linked the Mohawk and St. Lawrence Rivers via Wood Creek, and the Oriskany Battlefield. Because of its strategic location, Fort Stanwix was the site of several critical treaties between the British and the Iroquois and, following the American Revolution, between the latter and the United States. This region was the homeland of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy whose neutrality or military support was desired by both the British and the rebels during the Revolution. The Battle of Oriskany, 6 August 1777, occurred as the Tryon County militia, aided by Oneida warriors, was marching to relieve the British siege of Ft.

SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

The compiled service rec- ords consist of one or more jacket-envelopes for each soldier containing card abstracts of entries relating to that soldier from original records. These compiled and original records are part of the War Department Collection of Revolutionary War Rec- ords, Record Group 93. The American forces during the Revolutionary War included many types of military organizations created by the Continental Congresses, the States, towns, and counties.
