After living here for ten years and discovering little snippets of history I thought it was time to truly research the area to understand exactly where I live and how it came to be exactly what it is today. For the purposes of this paper the surrounding area referred to as Terre Hill will extend to Pompton Knolls, Dominion Park, Wildcreek, Clearview Heights, Bear Villa, Clairmont, and Four Seasons. The historic side of the paper will pull info from the entire town of Clay, and even Onondaga County, in order to make connections, but the purpose of this research is to learn more specifics about a focused area toward the south of Clay called Terre Hill. Terre Hill: Woodard, NY; Surrounding History and Exploration 10 Terre Hill: Woodard, NY; Surrounding History and Exploration 11 Terre Hill, Woodard, New York State Terre Hill’s landscape as we see it today was shaped long before the land was settled by any humans, indiginous or not. Terre Hill is part of the Allegheny Plateau, or more specifically it is part of the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau.1 The entire Allegheny Plateau comprises 1,679 named mountains which includes Terre Hill at the north edge. The plateau is divided into glaciated and unglaciated (roughly north and south) and stretches across five states in the northeast of the country.2 The northern part of this section, which comprises parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and nearly 100% of New York, is less extreme with elevation change than the unglaciated section in the southern parts south of New York State.3 The Allegheny Plateau is a physiographic region that’s divided into the Allegheny Mountain section, Appalachian Plateaus province, and Appalachian Highlands division.4 These titles are simply a way to dissect landforms of the globe the same way that towns, cities, and countries do with populaces. The glaciated portion is so 1 Richmond, G.M. and D.S.

During this time jellyfish, brachiopods, trilobites, and clams would be found to inhabit the entire underwater area.6 419.2 million years ago the area entered the Devonian period. Evidence of organisms from the previous Cambrian period continued to thrive with the addition of corals, eurypterids, hydras, snails, sponges as well as fish such as chimaeroids, crossopterygians, and lungfishes.7 Evidence from the next Mesozoic period as well as the Cenozoic period is mostly missing from this area. Prehistoric fossils are rich around these parts and some aquatic species of fossils are relatively easy to find in certain sites around greater Syracuse, mostly from the Devonian period.8 A more recent history begins well after the last ice age where CO2 melted, or retreated, the glaciers about 15,000 to 12,000 years before 5 J.

As early as 12,000BP, and much more extensive between 9,500 to 5,500BP we see evidence of Paleoindian hunter gatherers that were nomadic and did not settle for long in specific areas, usually following the animal migrations through each season.9 It wasn’t until the Transitional Period around 3,500BP where evidence of more plant based agriculture is present. During this time evidence of fish nets with sinkers is available as well.10 Proof of Haudenosaunee settlers in the Terre Hill area is estimated to be dated from about 1,200CE based on artifacts found buried in the ground near the Three Rivers Point area.11 Three Rivers Point is about six miles northwest of Terre Hill and is the most historically significant place in Clay, New York (not to be confused with the Algonquin area of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada, which wasn’t so named until 159912). Another interesting place nearby was Caughdenoy where the natives set eel traps in the Oneida River; “Caughdenoy” means ‘where the eel is lying down.’13 Three Rivers Point first served as a meeting ground as well as a seasonal fishing area for the native Iroquois. The Algonquin People to the north referred to them as “Iriakhoiw”, which in their Ojibwe language means “real adders” and refers 9 William A.

All rights reserved. Introduction It is the tradition of the Mohawk People to look seven generations ahead in making decisions that affect the community. It is in this spirit that the Environmental Review Process has been developed. The resources available on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation are limited and dwindling with each year that passes. It is the intention of this process to increase awareness of available resources and ensure that all consideration of these resources is taken when initiating a project. Focus and vigilance are required to make sure the seventh generation will have all that is necessary to maintain and continue our way of life. This community is unique and consists of cultural resources that have survived countless efforts to eliminate them and they are deserving of our protection and care. Development can proceed and remain in harmony with the cultural values passed on to us by our ancestors, but it requires forethought and effort. The land and resources should be considered as a gift to pass down to future generations, and as such it should remain as whole, intact, and healthy as it was received so that it may sustain them.

The main colonies of the French (one of the powers referred to) were in the Canadas, but through the zeal of the Jesuit missionaries their line of possessions had been extended south and west of the St. Lawrence river, and some attempts at colonization had been made, but as yet with only partial success. In the southern and eastern portion of the province granted pom to the Duke of York were the English, who with steady yet sure ad- ual vances were pressing settlement and civilization westward and gradually nearing the French possessions. The French and English were at this time, and also for many years afterwards, conflicting powers, each study- ing for the mastery on both sides of the Atlantic; and with each suc- ceeding outbreak of war in the mother countries, so there were renewed hostilities between their American colonies.

  • Jesuit Responses to Native American Dreams in the Early Seventeenth Century
    DISCERNING DREAMS IN NEW FRANCE: JESUIT RESPONSES TO NATIVE AMERICAN DREAMS IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Deirdre C. McMurtry, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Approved By Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Advisor Professor Matt Goldish ____________________________________ Professor Alice Conklin Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Recent scholarship on the seventeenth-century Jesuit-Amerindian encounter in New France has emphasized the cultural disruptiveness and loss of the various native groups as a result of the missionary project. Crucial to understanding this loss of traditional Amerindian culture, however, is a parallel understanding of the cultural and intellectual forces coming from Europe which shaped and often restricted the Jesuits’ attitudes toward native customs. Examining the first fifty years of the cross-cultural encounter through the lens of dream interpretation, this paper argues that the Jesuits made several adjustments to their initial assumptions and responses toward native dreams. Although the Jesuits originally denounced all native dreams as superstitious, the advent of native convert dreams forced the Jesuits to recognize the placement of at least some native dreams within traditional Christian categories of visions and miracles, even though some of these dreams retained characteristics which they condemned in traditional native dreams. Over time, however, the Jesuits’ accommodating policy drew criticisms from competing missionaries. Because the dispute centered on events in China rather than Canada, the acceptability of convert dreams was resolved first by a silence on the issue in public records and later by a retraction of the papal condemnation of the Chinese Rites ruling and certain accomodationist practices.

  • Indexes to Petun-Wyandot References in the Jesuit Relations
    INDEXES TO PETUN-WYANDOT REFERENCES IN THE JESUIT RELATIONS compiled by Charles Garrad INTRODUCTION: The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents published between 1896 and 1901 in seventy-three volumes by The Burrows Brothers Company, edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites, contain many references to the Petun (Wyandot) in the seventeenth century, both by original contemporary observers, and as added editorial introduction and explanatory endnotes. The following text is intended to be a finding aid to Petun references. In the first section, references are noted by volume, and in the second section by subject. It is not always possible to identify post-Dispersal Petuns as such. Petun captives among the Iroquois after 1650 (the earlist known being taken at St. Jean in December 1649) are usually referred to as Hurons. When `Hurons' are clearly Petuns, as in the far west after 1652, the text use of Huron may be changed to Petun, allowing the term Huron to apply to those Wyandots who went to Quebec. Some original spellings and grammatical eccentricities are retained in quotations (which may not be indicated as such), others are anglicised through Spell-Check, or to conform to current Canadian usage (e.g. Odawa for Ottawa, Outaouatac, etc.). Other minor modifications occur.

Abstract: Butlers of the Mohawk Valley: Family Traditions and the Establishment of British Empire in Colonial New York Historians follow those tributaries of early American history and trace their converging currents as best they may in an immeasurable river of human experience. The Butlers were part of those British imperial currents that washed over mid Atlantic America for the better part of the eighteenth century. In particular their experience reinforces those studies that recognize the impact that the Anglo-Irish experience had on the British Imperial ethos in America. Understanding this ethos is as crucial to understanding early America as is the Calvinist ethos of the Massachusetts Puritan or the Republican ethos of English Wiggery. We don't merely suppose the Butlers are part of this tradition because their story begins with Walter Butler, a British soldier of the Imperial Wars in America.
