    1. Re: BRIMMER/PRIMMER
    2. I have come across an article regarding PETERSBURG'S Early history on RENSSELAER County farms. A paragraph in this article states: "Two Places where Indians havouaced while returning to Canada from pillaging New England villages can be located in the town at the present time. One is the Hans Lantman farm which is now occupied by Harry E. Green. The other site is the Johannas George Primmer (later known as Brimmer) farm, now occupied by Dr. Ida B. (Brimmer) Goss, a daughter of the late Henry J. Brimmer, which farm has always been occupied by some descendant of the original owner. This is the site of the Brimmer massacre." This article is from THE TROY TIMES, Troy,NY. No date n it but presume it is from about the 1930's. The article talks about Primmer now known as Brimmer but when Hans Georg Brimmer came over from Hamburg Germany the passanger list has his name as HANS GEORG BRIMMER. I'm not sure how Primmer came into play. Could have been a misunderstanding I presume.
