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
