BELLINGER

May I express my appreciation of Lieutenant Commander Bellinger 's splendid genealogical service? I t has so g rea t a scope t ha t 1 think i t mus t be of value to anyone who h a s any in teres t in the Pala t ine emigran ts of ei ther the Schoharie or Mohawk val­leys.

I have been interested in the fam­ily of the emigrant Christopher Wer­ner and in conjunction with Mr. Wil­lis H. Warner , have been building up a n outline from Schoharie, Beaver D a m and Berne church records of the families of his sons, Johann Mat thes , Johann Ju rgen and Johann Joost, par t icular ly t h a t of Johann Matthes. who marr ied 21 Anna Barbara Bel­linger and 22 Maria Barbara Bellin­ger and whose sons were 127 Mat-theus and 128 Phillipus.

I have also been interested in 202, Lt. Heari'ck Borst and his family.

Some criticism has been voiced in regard to the difficulty of following the sys tem of numbering but it has seemed to me a 's imple system to fol­low a l though I think tha t wi th any history covering as much ground as this ones does, it is difficult to keep clearly in mind all the ramifica­tions. However, tha t would seem to me to be due to the vast amount of da ta and the many interlocking, rela­tionships r a t h e r than to the method of presentat ion.

1 have found the series very inter­est ing and of a grea t deal of help to me, both as a check on my own work and as a means of filling out incom­plete lines, and suggesting new av­enues for fur ther research. I like your genealogical depar tment and many of your contributors have been

in a difficult field. Marion G. Banker .

No one knows just when they were discovered. I t is known tha t the Mohawk Indians made projectile

Leta j points from them, as one perfect point and several f ragments have oeen louno on one nistoric MonawK site and perfect crystals have been found on other Mohawk sites, both historic and pre-historic. Wm. Richie of the Rochester Museum found one quartz crysta l in a burial a t t r ibuted to the so-called Mound builders. This was in western New York. I t ia very possible tha t the early Mohawk valley pioneers knew of them, but it remained for Prof. J. Hadley of the Geneva Medical College to bring the occurrence of them to public a t ten­tion.
