Tom Thomas, President Autumn 2007 Volume 2007, Issue 4 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT … TOM THOMAS This fall has been extremely quiet at the Sedgwick House Museum. After a summer in which the number of visitors was rather poor, we are trying to find ways to bring people into our facility. Once school started, the Martins Ferry School District’s second graders came as a follow-up to a reading story they shared about a visit to a museum. We were able to give them a real life experience as a conclusion to their classroom work. Now we are doing some remodeling inside the museum, including new carpeting in the parlor, thanks to the Belmont County Tourism Council grant money. We will not be decorating and opening for the Christmas season as we have in the past. The reason is very simple…no one came! We are also looking forward to the opening of the new school facility on the Ayers’ property at the head of Carlisle Street. When the current school buildings are closed, some of the educational memorabilia will be housed in the Sedgwick House Museum. Vice-president Barb Shrodes and I are also involved with the MARTINS FERRY HALL OF HONOR. This hall has been established to honor Ferrians who have in some way affected or aided the city of Martins Ferry or brought fame or notoriety to the city. Plaques will be issued for each member and hung in the city library. All expenses will be paid by the Citizens Bank.

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.

As stated in Vol. I, on p. 524, the Minute- or Order-books of the Court held for Monongalia County, at the house of Theophilus Phillips, on George’s Creek, in the southern part of what is now Fayette County, Pennsylvania, were destroyed on the burning of the Court House at Morgantown in I796. Therefore, the records of that Court, having jurisdiction over the southern part of what is now Fayette County, the southeastern part of the present Washington County, and more than half of the eastern part of the present Greene County, Pennsylvania, cannot now be reproduced.

    Arent Janse Pootman & Elizabeth Ackerman

    Arent Janse Pootman & Elizabeth Ackerman And Their Descendants By Mark R. Putnam ARENT JANSE POOTMAN & ELIZABETH ACKERMAN AND THEIR DESCENDANTS Arent Janse Pootman was the eldest son of Johannes Pootman and Cornelia Bradt and was born about 1680 in Schenectady, New York. Schenectady was then a small stockade village. The French and Indians, during the "Massacre and Burning of Schenectady" in 1689, destroyed the church records of Schenectady so there is no information relevant to the early births or baptisms of Johannes and Cornelia Bradt Pootman's children. About 1707, Arent Pootman married Lysbet Ackerman the daughter of Lodewyck Davidse Ackerman and Jannetje Jacobse Blyck. Lysbet was baptized December 7, 1684, at the Kingston Reformed Dutch Church with sponsors Elizabeth Teunis and Geritje Gerritse. The Ackerman's were associated with what is now Westchester County, New York. The Dutch word Blyck seems to mean tin worker or a tinsmith, and the Blyck family early on may have been tin or silversmiths. The history of Arent Pootman and his children seems to have centered in part around Auries Creek, New York, which is west of Schenectady and near the Mohawk River. Arent Janse Potman was reported to have been a weaver. Ackerman’s and Mabie’s The family surname Ackerman means in German field-man, ploughman, or farmer. Dutch and German word "akker" means field and probably comes from Latin "ager" from which we get the word agriculture. The name also is said to mean husbandman. Looking at the families into which the early Pootman family of Schenectady, NY, married, the second oldest son of Johannes Pootman [1644-1690] and Cornelia Bradt was Victor Pootman who married Margaret Mabie.

Hall Zane Grey presented to readers of his early Frontier Trilogy1 a version of the frontiersman type in Lewis Wetzel, the famed Deathwind, scourge of Delawares and Shawnees in the Ohio Country. Grey's Wet­ zel is a wilder version of traditional frontier characters like Daniel Boone and the fictional Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo) of James Fenimore Cooper. 2 John Hollow notes that Grey probably did not have access to, or did not use, some of the earlier treatments of the historical Lewis Wetzel (1764-1808), instead relying on biographical fact and legend about him from other sources (Hollow 118).

    The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers, and the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in Indian Country, 1750-1774 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissah J. Pawlikowski Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Lucy Murphy Dr. Margaret Newell Copyright by Melissah J. Pawlikowski 2014 Abstract “The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers & the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in the Indian Country, 1750-1774” explores the creation of a European & Indian commons in the Ohio Valley as well as an in-depth examination of the network of interethnic communities and a secondary economic system created by refugee Euroamerican, Black, and Indian inhabitants. Six elements of creolization—the fusion of language, symbols, and legal codes; the adoption of material goods; and the exchange of labor and knowledge—resulted in ethnogenesis and a local culture marked by inclusivity, tolerance, and a period of peace. Finally this project details how, in the absence of traditional power brokers, Indians and Europeans created and exchanged geopolitical power between local Indians and Euroamericans as a method of legitimizing authority for their occupation of the Ohio Valley. ii Vita 2005 ...............................................................

    CITY OF LANCASTER FAIRFIELD COUNTY, OHIO Independent Auditors’ Reports on Internal Controls and Compliance and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards December 31, 2015 City Council City of Lancaster 104 East Main Street Lancaster, Ohio 43130 We have reviewed the Independent Auditors’ Report of the City of Lancaster, Fairfield County, prepared by Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., for the audit period January 1 through December 31, 2015. Based upon this review, we have accepted these reports in lieu of the audit required by Section 117.11, Revised Code. The Auditor of State did not audit the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, we are unable to express, and do not express an opinion on them.
