My German Palatine ancestors were from the Schoharie area. Very few of them survived the Revolutionary War. Between the British and especially the Indians, led by Chief Joseph Brant, it’s a miracle I’m here at all! They had the Old Stone Fort for protection.

Several of my Oneida-Scandian forbears were Scouts in the 1st and 2nd New York ~ with German speaking officers, mostly Dutch EM ~ House Company, and so forth.

These guys were regular Spatznetz types ~
