HELKER, EYGEBROD The description in last week's pa- per of the ancient deed given by Leonard Helmer of Canajohane to Peter Eygebrod and wife Elizabetn is of great interest. The deed was dated June 2, 1773 and conveyed lUd aortd of Lot number 6 out of larger lot number 13 of Glen's Purchase on the nortn side of tne Monawk iiVli * /" what was men calied Try on county. Peter Eygenbrodt (Eygebrod) mar- ried Elbiabeth Helmer, daugnter of Lendert Helmer, original patentee. Glen's Purchase The greater part of larger Lot No. 13 was located in wnat is now the southeastern corner of *he Town of Fail field in the County of Herkimer. A small portion of this lot extended in the the town of Little Fails. This lot was a portion of Glen's purchase. (lien's Purchase is described in the office of the Secretary of State at Albany as follows: "A m a p of a Tract of Land Pur- chased in tne Year 1734 in his Majes- ty's name from the Native Indians by Jacob Glen and Others." Some references state that this pat- ent was granted in 1739. The map bears date of 1753 i^ut state that the purchase was made in 1734. Glen's Purchase consisted of thirty nine lota totaling 25,477 acres, nearly all of which waj located in the tv.vn of Fairfield, while a small portion was in the Town of Little falls anu a tew late of the same grant were located in tiie Town of Manheim. "this patent •was granted to Jacob Glen and aoout fifteen others. Lend© - t Helmer Lendert Helmer was granted three lots totaling 1,970 acres in this tract, then known as Lots 13, 21 arid 35 of Glen's Purchase. This lot 13 is the larger Lot 13 mentioned in the deed of which 100 acres comprised Lot No. 6. Lot No. 13 extended in a northerly and southerly direction a distance of about four miles and in an easterly and westerly direction about one half mile and comprised about 1,280 acres. Tne eastern boundary of this lot ex- tended along or very nearly so, the eastern boundary of the town of Fair- field. The souther.* boundary of the lot was about t^ro miles directly north of the present city of Little Falls. This lot extended northerly aoout four miles nearly to the pres- ent state highway running from Salis- bury to Fairfield. The present improved highway i from Little Falls to Fairfield runs | about two miles through this ltd N'o i 13. Kaits Hill is fhown on some maps as being a little north of the center , of this lot.

Pater Eygenbrcdt Eli2abeth Helmer was probably the youngest daughter of Lendert Hel- •• d his wife Elizabeth. This as- sumption Is made wholly on the fact cute sue was mentioned last in the will. Peter Eygenbrodt (Eygebrod) and his wife Elizabeth Helmer were the outs of two children (possibly more); i. E. (name illegible) born Decem- ber 6, 1765. Sponsors Anna F o x a n d Johannes Kraus uvrouss). , ?ied born Oct. 23, 1768. Spon- sors Peter Warmuth and Sophia * iti\,e vi-eer). Lot 6 A close study of the above dates litill leaves undetermined the question .••nioh Leonard signed the deed to Lot No. 6 on June 2, 1773. Lendert ^.xotiuer, the original patentee was still alive at that time as his will was dated June 27, 1781. There is no re- cord of the death of Leonard, Jr. which leaves some doubt as to who conveyed tre property. e*j vever as Lendert Helmer, Bur- neii-cield Patentee, was also a paten- tee of Lot No. 13 of Glen's Purchase, a portion of which was conveyed in the old deed of June 2, 1773 it is fair- ./ safe to assume that he was the person convoying the property.

SPENCER, 1503 Oneida street, Utioa, N. Y. BRADT, KREMS, LOUCKS While the family and ancestry of Henry Bratt, Bradt of Springfield or waiu.jonur.ie, IN. x. might oe consider- are rles of customs followed by tne early settlers of the Mohawk Valley which would lead a student of those customs to believe that this certain uc.uy j-Jratt was aimer tne first or ae .ud son of .jacoiius Bradt and wife Maria Barbara Loucks, figur- ing that tiiis son Henry w a s p o m n o t later than 1745, which would make Henry the right age to be the father ments made in a former letter. It was the custom of the early Pala- tines to add the father's given name with that of the son; as, for instance John J out. Jcit was the son's given name, and Johan (John) tne father's, so it would be interpreted Jost Snell son of John, to distinguish him from Jost Snell son of some other Snell. Jost had a brother named Johannes (John), so, aj there could not be two biothers named John, Johan was the added father's name. The father's As 1 stated in an earlier article, tne known early dates and facts in the Snell family can be applied with equal plausibility to Jacob being the father ; ' Johannes and Jost, or brother to them. Because of the atovn «iea*- t*u»»i.-d U a u i u o n I piv»rer to account for Jacob as one of the three broth- State papers of England, referring to the 6,500 Palatine refugees camped "every week many of the young peo- ple married," mostly «u angers •u hi in close association from var- ious localities. It is conceivaoie tuat jacob and Elisabeth, either there or on the way through Holland, married, ?>s m a n y of t h e i r <***-*—> * > - ; > i-- fortune did, and with two babies born to tnem uel-ne sta. uny i«« n .«&« ... Both may have died on the voyage or, as lias been .suggested, they may have been girls and therefore their activities in America in on»j4cu<His and with no birth records in America. iihere are no children assigned to Jacob »nd Elisabeth whose subse- quent li:e dates indicate a birth early enough to have been of the two ba- bies that started on the voyage from London. That Jacob Snell's name is not in the records after 1735 is not an indication that he died at. that ; time. He might have lived to an ad- vanced age without further transac- i tion requiring record. ; EDWARD S. SMITH. 1 206 W. 92nd street, New York, N. Y. GENEALOGY WALTMAN. THE HOUSE OF WALTMAN by Lora S.

He was one of the Burnettsfield .Patentees, being granted Lot 21 of 100 acres on the north side of the Mohawk river, just west of the pres- ent village of Herkimer. This patent was granted April 30, 1725. Lendert Helmer lived to a very old age. His will was dated June 27, 1781 fea^d probated April 22, 1791. No mention of his wife was made in his will, so it is probable that she had died previously.

The towns covered are Palatine, Minden, Cana- joharie, Manheim, Johnstown, Northampton, Broadalbin. Charles- town, Amsi^rdam, Florida, Mayfield and Salisbury. This is history and genealogy combined which is hard to get. The 1800 census classifies the males and females separately giv- ing the males below ten, from 10 and below 16, from 16 to under 26, 26 and under 45 and «5 and over. Females under 10, under 16, under 26, under 45 and 45 and over. A separate column enum- erates the slaves. The names appear in rotation as taken down by the census enumerator. No attempt to classify. If classified some information would be lost as it is some times possible to lo- cate individuals through their neighborhood location. The pam- phlet will be ready in December and orders may be placed at any time. Price $1.50 LEGAL NOTICE—CITATION The People of the State of New York, By the Grace of God Fre« and In- dependent.
