Manifestations of the Mind - Phrenology in New York State with Anne Clothier
My 3rd great grandfather is descendant of Palatinate German communities , of both ethnic German (Swabian & Baden) and converted Ashkenazic (Levantine/Southern Italian) descent. His father had Olive Brown skin in his 1800s family photo. Not a Jew, a *Brown German* .
Something overlooked is how the Palatinate is actually considered the UNESCO recognized "cradle of medieval Ashkenazic Jewry in Europe ." And had the largest concentration of Ashkenazic people living in one area since the middle Ages until World War 2. Many Palatinate Germans were definitively non Jewish for generations, yet are biological descendants of converted Ashkenazic Jewry from the Medieval times. Not German Jews at all, simply *Olive Skinned Germans* .
this was so informative my mothers maiden name was Van Alstine , we are related to the Van Alstines of fort Van alstine in canajaharia , She always told me i was Mohawk Dutch, I would so love to explore my haritage more and dont know were to start ?
my great great grandmother was Catherine of Fonda, Mohawk born 1830, married John Hutchinson 1859, town of Edinburgh... i have their bible, their 3rd son survived, father and 2 others died 1863-68. Cornelius, my great grandfather, father to my grandmother, she greatly favored Mohawk as did my uncles...my fathers people recieved land in the cherry valley for service in the revolution, german mercenaries captured at trenton, changed sides for land....
Seneca friend of mine joined that "paddle" to manhattan in '13
Thank you for all the great insight and history of the land and its people. Where can i connect with my ancestors tribe , i believe Hillitie was from the Turtle clan ?
I am a direct descendant of Hillitie and the Van Slyke family .
I would like to make contact with Kathryn Weller if possible as I'm a descendent of the Palantine Refugees that came to England and into Ireland.
Please reach out to the NYS Museum in Albany, NY.
Thanks for this. I have an ancestor who was a Palatine German named John Christian Garlock who settled in the Mohawk Valley. His wife died soon after their arrival. He later married a Mohawk Medicine Woman named Betsy. The had a son, John Adam, whose daughter settled here in Western NY.
Who what whet and when
There were palatines in NC coastal area... New bern was founded by them... A project of a swiss patrician... Im a futch that comes from this people... They married the daughter of an english explorer that helped founded the city... Lawson
It’s so hard to find good information but this video is great! Where would I be able to find old maps or information on my land near Tribes Hill? I’m located on the Danascara and old railroad tracks. Ty 💜
Have you visited the Montgomery County Dept of History and Archives in Fonda?
So timely! I have been watching the "Below the Plains" tuber and have grown interested in patent medicine.
Thank you @pbcanal1
I went here on a school trip once when I was a young boy and found it to be such fun.
26:32 "The canal was built because of the depletion of wood resources." Does that mean that iron furnaces previously used charcoal made from trees cut near a furnace, but then, after all the trees were cut, ironmasters needed to ship in coal instead of charcoal to run their furnaces? Thanks for this great presentation!
We can't speak directly to that regarding the Morris Canal (as the Canal Society of NJ would be more the expert knowledge base) but that does seem like the point that Tim was making during this presentation.
I have Ancestors who came to New York from SW Germany during this first wave. They eventually floated down the river into what became Berks Co, PA. Among these were Dieffebaughs, and the Kobels.
Extremely interesting and informative . I'll have to check out some of these locations. Nice work and good luck in the future !
My ancestor was born in 1640 in Fort Orange from Holland. Wondered how it would have been to be so remotely located in those early days.
Utube definitely plays the politically correct game something u must contend with.. But when u begin delving into racial issues and you are WRONG it can offend many Ppl..and Folks are probably reporting ur channel based on ur content and what ur saying about racial identity of Ppl? Especially here in the US!!! EX..I see you as a MIXED Phenotype of Caucazoid, Mongolid and Negroid..And this term u keep throwing around "redbone" is a term that strictly applies to the Decendants of Slavery/African/BA Ppl. And you dont seem to understand this? Thier are no Spanish Speaking Folks using this term or what ur calling Native Americans either? And ur right. The term "redbone" is a Southern American term especially in Alabama/Louisiana because of the mixing of phenotypes during Slavery and Jim Crow..And ur attempting to apply it to the Cajun and Creole Ppl of Louisiana during that time because of the rape and abuses inflicted on Negroid Slaves of that time. Do you not understand that a "redbone female" "Not Male".. was looked upon as a victim of either rape or someone who'd slept with with WP and created a child. Now in some areas of the South in America it made u special and kinda put you in a better socio-economic class and in other places you where considered a bastard parriah White Trash child that had no worth!!.. Phenotypically..I could call you ANYTHING!! And it would fit the narrative of WS..For what ur attempting to do with ur channel I implore you to take race out of this situation.. Ur confusing Culture with Race and its bound to piss off many Ppl..Including myself..Just Food for Thought..🤔
I wish we still had this canal! The canals in the UK which used to be used for distribution of goods are now used for vacations and expeditions. Pubs on the canal have such a nice outlook. We really lost something that could have been utilized today.
Promo'SM 💋
I really enjoyed this presentation. I own what's left of great lot #2 of the Burnetsfield patent of 1725 west of Herkimer which was originally conveyed to Anna Veldelent. A Palatine post & beam farmhouse was built on the property by the Wohleben family somewhere between 1760-80 ( exact dates are unclear) Previous owner, Susan Snell Williams, did much research as she was a Palatine German descendent and was able to get the structure listed on the national & NYS registers for the Palatine construction method. Three brothers associated with the farmhouse fought at the battle of Oriskany under Gen Herkimer. From what I gather 2 were killed and the surviving brother, Abraham, survived being scalped in 1781. I erected an historic market about 10 yrs ago. The restoration was completed by Pat Wilder in the 1990's adding an addition making it into a saltbox I'm a living history reenactor and supporter of Fort Klock. It's an honor to own such an historic home..
Thank you for sharing this history!
What a great speaker!
Great place its so nice, I want to ride the pontoon boat
We encourage anyone to get there and check it out!
My ancestors were palatine German emigrants in to Mohawk Valley. Some of them, their names, are on the Oriskany monument
I have two branches who were also immigrants. They were supposed to be taken to land promised to them by the Iroquois during their visit to England, but were taken to Stone Arabia as indentured Servants to make pitch. The pines were the wrong kind and they nearly starved. After several years, most families walked out and purchased land in Mohawk Valley. The branches of my family were the Garlocks and the Beckers. An Englishman named Pickard was married to a woman who was Dutch and African Mbuti. Their children intermarried with those families.
Nice presentation. I will be a 2024 visitor.
Thank you
U got a new channel huh
Good job, Kelli, and thanks for all your hard work in bringing us this endearing story.
Thanks for watching the presentation!
Right now I'm sitting in front of a reproduction of a 1896 children's magazine "Родникъ" from St.Petersburg, Russian Empire. Specifically, №3, March 1896, page 367-368, and here is a long article on Railroad Jack's story and his recent death. While searching for the origin of the story, google brought me to this video :)
😮
Talk about a small world and few degrees of separation!
Why theres so many dutch names at Six Nations Reserve.
Thank, you very encouraging to here.
I came here hoping to glean any information that I possibly could on the Palatines-especially the lives of Palatine women & families of the valley (besides just Oriskany). But very disappointed to hear, yet again, just another loyalist discourse-as if Brandt & Johnson were even Palatinates??? I did not grow up there but descend from Bellingers, Cross, Dockstaders, Dillenbachs, Dygerts, Eckers, Fox, Nestle, Snells/Schnells, Van Alstyne, Wagners, Adams, Clark, (etc…Etc…)…I would love to learn more about the women-like those who banded together & chased mr. Adams (a sheriff/tax collector?) away with brooms & sticks, learn more about about the life of Maria Catherina Kraft-Schnell, who lost so many sons & grandsons at Oriskany, Ana Eva Bellinger, whose husband survived; and all of their many stories, struggles, & friendships with the Natives/Oneidas, British, Dutch, French, etc…& share their many stories with my own grandchildren/their descendants -Yet, wherever I look, it seems as if most of the history focuses on the loyalists (especially on Brandt-Johnson & their friends & sympathizers) instead of on the Palatines themselves who lived/suffered & sacrificed so much there… 😔
Many if not most of the loyalists in the Mohawk Valley were Palatines, including my own loyalist ancestor who was also at Oriskany. His grandmother was a Bellinger. His wife's uncle was Conrad Weiser.
I was born and raised in the area and still live here. Most historians hit the big name people but dismiss the people who did the work. There is some small festivals and sites that cover the local people but not much.
Thanks very interesting.
Sir William Johnson, an Ireland-born Catholic convert to the C of E, did not promote Scotch-Irish settlement. He brought down Scottish Catholic highlanders who had settled in Quebec after serving loyally in the British army during the Seven Years War (French and Indian War to Americans). This group and their descendants formed the officer class of the Loyalist militia (King's Royal Rangers and Butler's Rangers) during the Revolution. They then settled in Eastern Ontario, on the Quebec border, where they became known as Glengary Scots.
Very well done. I just recently released a video about the American Revolution in the Mohawk. Very interesting.
Many of my wife's people were Palatine Germans. She grew up in Fort Johnson.
I was raised in southwestern New Jersey. We didn't hear about the Pfäzer. The Germans in our area were Hessians. They were "sold" (so we were told) to the rebellious colonists, so that the Duke of Hessia could pay his debts for a past war. Most of those who survived the revolutionary war, settled down along the Delaware and the Hudson.
I am in living history because of Johnson Hall Market Faire. I wonder how many others got their feet wet there.
*Remember getting my feet wet there as a child, in the creek ;)
Thanks
Welcome!
Thank you so much for this presentation. The information is invaluable to me. I'm a descendent through the Van Slyke line and appreciate the references you've given. ❤
I descend from Hendrick Klock Jr. who married Jacomine/Jacomyntje, who in many sources is stated to be Mohawk.The birth of their daughter (Magdalena my ancestor) is recorded, and Hendrick carefully provides for his beloved wife "Jacobany" in his will. I sense that this was a marriage of equals, and is an opportunity to challenge marital stereotypes. Magdalena married Johannes Bellinger. Johannes and two of his sons (Frederick born 1749 is my ancestor) died at Oriskany, leaving Magdalena and many other widows the sole support of young dependents. Several people from this family have taken DNA tests, and many of us show a trace of Indigenous American ethnicity. What interests me is that the two sons who died at Oriskany would have been 25% Mohawk. It seems they could have been related to some of the attackers, and this adds a different perspective to the tragedy of that battle. I greatly appreciated your presentation and the emphasis that the Revolution was a Civil War. Thank you.
Appreciate you tuning in and sharing your family history as well!
Thank you for an enlightening presentation.
Thank you for tuning in!
Fabulous presentation
Thank you!
Great presentation from Kathryn Weller! A true honor to be a part of bringing this to the public
I would also like to give a moment to those people that are German - and went out of their way to work hard; they had to cross an ocean to kill someone for very little money. They also spread Christianity. Everyone, LOVES to take a poke at Christian Germans - whilst listening to the ENTIRELY owened JEWISH propaganda machine that is: Blackrock, Vanguard, Hollywood, TV, Pharma, Healthcare, Slaves... First of which were... SLAVIC...
I do understand why the 'Dutch' could do this. Original, the ancestors of the Dutch are Frisians. I am a Frisian. The central meaning of the word 'Frisian' is the word 'Fri', or someone who 'free'. Therefor, my freedom cannot surpress the freedom of someone else. And visa-versa. That means: you have to respect each other.
I'm 25 percent Mohawk Indian
Let us know your thoughts, right here in the comment section
And some of this guys information is wrong by the way I'm not going to go into details about all of it but I will mention one thing that he's definitely wrong about my tribe the Mohawk have more than three clans there's nine different clans. There's the bear clan the turtle Clan the wolf Clan deer Clan Heron Clan Snipe clan eal clan Beaver clan and eagle clan.
Just so you know you don't need to say German people when you say Dutch people because Germans and Dutch people are originally the same people Germans are originally Dutch I know this because I'm Mohawk Indian Dutch
I was in Germany
I Owen land 1/2 downhill from the West Deleware River headwaters! Is this scacrite land? I am only a caretaker of this land!
Love the Tribal governance structure based on the women!!
