Hi Sonja, Thank you. I'll forward this material on to the Simeon Barber descendant with whom I have been corresponding. I knew that Simeon Barber had gone south several years after the end of the Rev war, but both John and I marveled at the fact people in Saratoga County knew of Simeon's comings and goings after he had pulled up stakes. I am sure that he will find this as interesting as I have.

According to my ggg-grandfather, Samuel Right Brown's book, "The Western Gazetteer, the Emigrant's Directory", pp.328-329, Simeon went to TN and settled there with his wife and eight children. "The climate proves congenial to northern constitutions...about a half dozen families removed to this state, from the state of New York, nearly 30 years ago. Residing in the same county (then Albany, now Saratoga) from which they migrated. I have twice had occasion to visit them, in Overton county, near the junction of Oby and Wolf rivers. The Unprecedented health and increase of Simeon Barber's family, since their residence in Tennessee, deserves to put on record. He left New York with a wife and eight children, five girls and three boys: his daughters are all married, the eldest has ten children, the second, ten; the third, eleven; the fourth, ten; and the fifth, five. The eldest son, ten; the second, seven; and the third, three, making a total of sixty six, all perfectly formed, and living in May, 1816. They have enjoyed almost uninterrupted health. Old Mr. Barber has six or seven great grandchildren, which make the increase from one family upwards of 70 souls. Not a single death occurred in the different branches of the family, until two of the sons removed to Indiana, in 1816, when two of the children died of whooping cough. Mr. Barber is now 77 years of age, and his wife, 74. I do not recollect having ever seen in the northern states, the heads of any single family , of so advanced an age, possessing so great a degree of activity, bodily and mental vigor, or of so young and healthful appearance. Mr. B. thinks nothing of walking fifteen or twenty miles; and labors occasionally in his fields. None of the other families which accompanied him, have had the same rapid increase of numbers: but they have enjoyed fine health, and all concur in representing the country so healthy beyond example. Indeed from my own experience and observation, I do not hesitate to pronounce the country between Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, as incomparably the most healthy of any part of the western country, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico." ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Can you tell me the first names of the Barber Brothers you referred to? Lin ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi Deanna I imagine you have seen that David is living with the Emerson Cross family in 1860, in Johnsburg? I know this is not absolute help, but he is still with this family in 1870, which is curious... It's as close as I can get, for now. Best of luck John ps - I have saved the 1860 image, just in case you want it - let me know.

Hi John; Yes, it is curious indeed, all I can think about is his mother died when he was very young and he's with a relative of some sort. I seen in my other lines that when a child loses his or her mother at a very young age, a relative takes the child in. Or another twist is his father died when he was young and his mother remarried. Longs I have his death date now and where he died, the only way I'm going to settle this puzzle is try for his death certificate. Thanks a lot for the information.

Have you checked the 1860 census? He should be with his parents at that time. Deanna Lewis wrote: > Hi All; > I have a brick wall here.

Hi All; I have a brick wall here. Looking for the parents of DAVID FARRNGTON born abt 1851 and died about 1923 I think in Indian Lake. Some say he's the son of George Farrington in Saratoga Co. But I don't see the connection yet. Davis was born in Johnsburg, Warren Co. I think. As you all see I need more information other than "I think." Thanks a lot. Dee

Hi Karen, The Battles of Freeman's Farm, a/k/a Saratoga, were fought predominantly on Farm # 3 Great Lott 16 of the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent. On the second day, the fighting spread west to Farm # 4 (leased by Micajah Marshall) and maybe as far as Farm #5 (lease by the Barber brothers, one of whom also leased a farm in Great Lott 15). General Philip Schuyler held title to Great Lott 16 in its entirety and had subdivided it into 14 farms which he had been leasing since the mid 1760s. Immediately before the Battles of Freeman's Farm were fought, the population of the Saratoga Tax District of Albany County, NY exceeded 2,500 people. The families of some of the Loyalists, like John Freeman, fled to Canada. John Freeman and some of these Loyalists returned with the British and fought with the British forces. Many of the settlers sought shelter with members of their extended families, who still lived the areas from which the settlers had originally come. Some families fled only as far south as Albany, while others went as far south as Dutchess County. The destinations are as diverse as the backgrounds of the families, which lived in the Saratoga District. Each family has its own story to tell. Hope that this helps, Lesile ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen A Hill" <karenalmdalehill@comcast.net> To: <NYSARATO@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:55 PM Subject: [NYSARATO] Rev War - where did they go? > When there was fighting going on in the Stillwater area during the Rev > War, > where did the families go?

When there was fighting going on in the Stillwater area during the Rev War, where did the families go? Did they stay put or did they flee to Canada or CT or into the forests and wildernesses? Karen A. Hill

ZARZYNSKI TO SPEAK ON LAKE GEORGE RATEAU SHIPWRECK Underwater archaeologist Joseph W. Zarzynski will show the award winning 57 minute long documentary-"The Lost Radeau: North America's Oldest Intact Warship" on Thursday, May 17, at the Saratoga National Historical Park Visitors Center., at 7:30 pm. Speaking at a joint meeting of the Stillwater Historical Society and the Old Saratoga Historical Association, Zarzynski will share the history, sinking, discovery, and archaeological study of the 1758 "Land Tortoise" radeau shipwreck in Lake George. The "Land Tortoise," a seven-sided floating gun battery, was intentionally sunk in October of 1758 by the British to keep it safe from the French over the winter. However it slipped into deep water and couldn't be located the following spring and was considered lost. Zarzynski rediscovered it in 1990. This program, open to the public free of charge, is one of several in this region held to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the French and Indian War. For more information call 583-0506.

Dear List, Technically these are is not genealogy questions, but I am going to ask them any way. In the process of preparing a paper for the 2007 Conference on New York State History, I have just finished reading John Burgoyne's Orderly Book. In the appendix of John Burgoyne's Orderly Book, at pages 139-141, it states: "Major Kingston fixed by Major Kingston has the authority to settle the place for the meeting of the officers proposed. This after some conversation was agreed to by General Gates. Fixed by Major Kingston to be upon the ground where Mr. Schuyler's house stood." I have quickly reviewed the Saratoga National Historical Park Draft General Management Plan, dated 2003. The map entitled "Park Vicinity and Associated Sites" seems to indicate that the original Schuyler house was on the opposite of US Rt. # 4 from the house, that Schuyler constructed in November of 1777 and therefore not within the Saratoga National Historical Park. However, the map entitled "Burgoyne's Army Trapped at Saratoga October 10-17, 1777" indicates that Schuyler's house, which the British burned, was on the same side of the road as the house, which Schuyler constructed in November of 1777. I am confused. Exactly where was the original Schuyler house, which the British burned, located? If the original house were within the present boundaries of the Saratoga National Historical Park, is the actual site of the surrender deemed to be not of sufficient historical significance for it to be marked as a site within the Park? If the site of the original house is outside the boundaries of Saratoga National Historical Park, has it been deemed to be of insufficient historical significance to warrant a New York State Historical marker? I have submitted my questions to the National Park Service, which is researching the matter. However, I am hoping that some of the local historians, who reside in Saratoga County, NY, might be able to assist in answering my questions. Thank you for your help. Leslie Potter
