CLOCK

Referring to the inquiry of Lai.ra Clock Williams, Cleveland, Ohio, in your paper of J a n u a r y 13, regarding George H. Clock born 1765 a n d mov­ed to Monroeville, Ohio in 1817. I have pract ical ly all known records of the Klock-Clock families. Nei th­e r those records or the records of New York m the Revolution list a n y George H. Clock (or Klock) in the period mentioned.

If Mrs. Williams knows from wha t locality in New York s ta te th is man lived before going to Ohio it might help to find his ancestors .

Since he w a s born only 10 years before the outbreak of the Revolu­tion he probably saw li t t le if any service to include him in the mili­t a ry records.

Johannes Klock had a son Henry who owned land west of Li t t le Fal ls on the nor th side of the river. The initial H. migh t indicate some con­nection wi th this Henry.

Also Coonrad Klock and family who were living in Fairfield neigh­borhood during the war of the Re­volution and were carried away to Canada as prisoners in an Indian raid might be a possible line.

In either case such relat ionship lacks confirmation in any known records tha t I have.

If Mrs. Williams has any addi­tional information, supported by def­inite records such a s land papers , church records or family Bible re­cords and will send them on it might help to solve her problem.

1. Zervas, Servos, Servoss (Amer­ican.)

2. Zirbesen, Zervas (Low German, Principali ty of Wied.)

3. Serbos (Hungarian, Magyar . ) 4. Zervas, Zervos (Serbian.) In the dawn of the recorded his­

tory of this family they a re found in the Old Serbia of the Nemanya Emperors . Subsequent to the Turk­ish conquest of Old Serbia for rea-

one of above a l te rnat ives t rue . Some have said the other child was

Samuel, t h a t he lived near Johns­town, N. Y., close by Johann P e t e r (Capt. Peter) until about 1700-1761 when he removed to Glen; that he had children: John born 1760 (in af­fidavit for pension for service in Rev.—John swore he was born 1755) married Catherine Pettengell daugh­ter of Dr. Samuel; Christian C. born about 1761, married Christina Pet­tengell, sister of his brother John's wife, lived Florida, drowned Febru­ary, 1814 F o r t H u n t e r bridge, Scho­harie Creek, age 53 years and Philip born Sept. 9, 1767 married Marga re t De Graff died March 3, 1847.

Others say no such person as Sam­uel ever existed, t h a t nowhere is the name found, tha t he is entirely myth­ical.

At all events John, Christian C. and Philip cer ta inly seem to have been brothers no other puta t ive fath­er ever mentioned. They were not sons of Johann P e t e r (Capt. Pe te r ) because his Philip was a Loyalist— the Philip, brother of John and Christian C not born until 17R7 sons religious this branch of the „ r J „ „ H n «: n n r no™ ,,nt.i 1797,

The ancestor of the American branch of the family is Christ ianus Zervas born in Segendorf, Principal­i ty of Wied, bapt . in Niederbrieber Sept. 30, 1664 (son of Johann Daniel Zervas and wife Catherine) marr ied Elizabetha Margare tha de Brush, May 29, 1708. Their children were :

1. Johann Pe te r Servos born in Bonn and bapt . there March 21, 1709. He, the Captain Pe te r who lo­cated between Fonda and Johnstown —married, some say Magdalena. His will dated Augus t 11, 1782, proved Jan. 10, 1783 names her Madallaine. His children: Eva, Anna, Peter, Phil­ip, Johannes and Maria who married a Fishbach. (perhaps others.)

2 ~

his son was a Loyalist—the John, brother of Chris t ian C. and Philip a Revolutionary soldier. That they were nephews of Johann Pe te r (Capt. Peter) and Christopher of Lutheranville is proven by the fact tha t John served in the Revolution as a subst i tute for his cousin Chris­tian, son of Chris topher of Lutheran­ville. Then they were either sons of Frederich Wilhelm born 1711 or the unnamed and unrecorded 6th child of Christianus.

Who were the two other children if not Elizabeth and Samuel ? Who were the children of Freder ich Wil­helm ? Did Chris t ianus have other chldren born here in the New World ?

DAVID BRAINARD,

HERO O F THE NORTH COUNTRY

Probably the mos t heroic figure Herk imer county ever produced w a s David Bra inard whose ances tors liv­ed in Norway not far from the vil­lage of Gray. He rose tc fame as a leading officer in the Greely Arct ic Explorat ion Expedit ion. Greely w a s a nat ive of Massachuse t t s and serv­ed in the Civil W a r a t the close of which he was appointed a l ieuten­an t in the regu la r a rmy . In 1891 he commanded the expedition sent out by the U. S. gove rnmen t to establish observation s ta t ions towards the nor th pole. As ear ly a s 1872 it w a s found t h a t a knowledge of the cli­matic conditions a round the nor th pole would give a be t t e r knowledge of the laws of na tu re . Observation s ta t ions should be established all along the route a s far no r th as pos­sible and observat ions should be t ak ­en and reported regular ly . With th is object in view Pr ince Bismark ap ­pointed a commission composed of some of the most eminent German scientists. The opinion of the com­mission t h a t these observations would be of the h ighes t impor tance in developing meteorology and in ex­tending our knowledge of t e r res t r ia l magnet ism. Ten count r ies besides the United S ta t e s established points of observation a t var ious places as far nor th a s la t i tude 70 degree 28*.

The United S t a t e s became inter­ested in extending a knowledge of gladesy, meteorology and magne­tism and it was given to the United S ta tes signal service to establish a polar s ta t ion a t Lady Frank l in Bay 81 degrees, 44 minutes nor th la t i ­tude.

F a r t h e s t Known Landmark This s ta t ion was the then far thes t

known land nor th w a s to be on Grin-nel Island within 496 miles of the north pole. By ac t s of congress of 1880-3 881 as the s ta t ion w a s to be established nor th of the 81st degree of nor th la t i tude for the purpose of scientific observation, etc .

F i r s t Lieut. A. W. Greely, ac t ing signal officer, F i f th Caval ry w a s placed in command of the expedition. Twenty-five able bodied volunteers were accepted a m o n g whom w a s David L. Brainard, orderly sergeant . On June 7th the company on board the Proteus , of 467 tons register with 110 horsepower, sailed out of St. John ' s ha rbor for Greenland. On the 15th they reached Godhaven. Here and a t Ri t t enbenk they pur­chased dogs and other supplies.

Saves a Man ' s Life Day by day the ship worked its

way nor thward wi th everchanging scenery of ocean and land.

One day a member of the p a r t y fell into the w a t e r and w a s rescued by our friend Bra inard . On another day they shot a polar bear tha t w a s 7 feet 6 inches long.

A t Li t t le ton Is land they encoun- | tered a drove of wal rus , some of them 12 to 15 feet in length . They proved to be very savage when mo­lested. On ano the r occasion they saw a school of white whales . These are from 12 to 15 feet long and yield near ly 1,000 pounds of m e a t and blubber.

The Ship Starts for Home Lieut. Greely discharged the ship

Augus t 18 but it was not unti l the 26th t ha t the vessel succeeded in working its way th rough the ice and ! finally disappear ing from sight and | as it proved la te r never to be seen I by the members of the expedition again.

SCHENECTADY CLitfu? REFORMED CHURCH

IN AMERICA (Continued from last week)

Only two months was the pulpit vacant . The Rev. William P. Davis w a s again called and accepted and continued pas to r here for twelve years, till November 2, 1869. Many things were done during this pas­tora te . Several revival seasons were experienced when the people would th rong the church and remain until midnight. The pas tor would say to them, "My dea r people go home and come aga in tomorrow night ." On April 30, 1858, 99 persons confessed their fai th and were received into the communion of the church. Then new horse sheds were added till the

| accommodat ions for horses and car-' r iages were the la rges t of any church in the county. Then i t was also found t h a t there were some 30 families wi thou t seats . I t w a s de­cided to enlarge the church. This was done to the delight of the pas ­to r and congregat ion. The pews and some of the o ther things which were then placed in the renovated church a r e now in the present edifice. There was also some church discipline in those days which might be whole­some a t the present time. In May, 1866, 64 persons were received into membership. During the pas tora tes he received into the membership of t he church 227 persons. Two sons a n d a son-in-law were ministers in our church. He died J anua ry 7, 1894 and is buried in Prospect Hill ceme­t e ry between here and Albany. He thought of the Helderberg Church a s the principal church and congre­gat ion of his whole life.

The last recoVded minutes by the Rev. William P . Davis are dated November 22nd, 1869. On tha t da te he tendered his resignation. On Feb­r u a r y 2nd, 1870, it was resolved to extend a call to the Rev. Samuel L. Gamble. The call was dated the 1st day of April, and was accepted by him. Dur ing his pas tora te here of fifteen years and six months he re­ceived into the membership of the church 414 persons; a t the spring communion of 1871, he received into the fellowship of this church 150 on confession of the i r faith, 51 of them

receiving the ri te of bapt ism. During the above pas tora te the member­ship of the Helderberg Church be­came the largest of any church of the Classis, repor t ing 245 families, wi th 512 members in the year 1882. His resignation was accepted with profound regrets only because the consistory felt t h a t it was "The will of God." I t was dur ing his pas tora te t h a t four sons of this church, the Reverends Robert, J a spe r and Orville Hogan and Henry Lockwood, were led to enter the Gospel ministry. He died March 18th, 1895, a t Riverside, 111., in the 67th year of his age.

On March 9th, 1886, a call was extended to the Rev. Mart in Voor-hees ; he began his work here on J u n e 1st, 1886. The principal th ing outside of the regular work of the ministry during his pas to ra te seems to have been the building of a Chapel of Knowersviile, now Al tamont . Be­cause of ill health he tendered his resignation to t ake effect on the 30th of November, 1889. Resolutions of respect and high esteem were passed by the consistory. He died, I believe, in California, November 30th, 1895.

I n less than two months af ter Mr. Voorhees' resignation on Janu­a r y 29th, 1890, a call was made upon the Rev. Bergen B. S t a a t s to. become the pastor. I t was dur ing his pas tora te tha t the Reformed church of Altamont w a s effected, t ak ing a large contingency of the member­ship of the mother church. Also while he was here the fourth, which is the present edifice, was built . Those were t rying t imes for this con­gregat ion and also for the pas tor a s was to be expected under the cir­cumstances of severing a large por­tion of the congregation to er f

lish a new church, and to abandon the old church where the congrega­tion and their ances tors had a t tend­ed worship for more than a century, and build a new church on anoth r si te. All was successfully done, a c he tendered his resignation to t ake effect Julst 1st, 1896. He was a man of ability both as a minister and an executive. At this wr i t ing he is living in West Orange, N. J.

The compiler has not been able to find documentary proof as to the names of the pa ren t s of ei ther Job or his wife, Lois Matt ison.

Some authori t ies are of the opin­ion t ha t Job Matt ison w a s the son of Joseph Mattison (4) born May 5, 1733-4 in Eas t Greenwich, R. I.; died 1813 in the Town of Hebron, Wash­ington county, N . \ . This Josepo w a s the son of Thomas 3 Matt ison born 1703 and Elizabeth, his second wife. Thomas Mat t i son 3 w a s the son of Thomas 2 Mat t i son born about 1675, and Martha (Shippee) Mat t i ­son. Thomas 2 Mat t i son w a s the son of Henry 1 and wife H a n n a h Pa r ­sons.

The town of Hebron adjoins the Town of Har t ford where „ u* Jub marr ied Lois Carlisle.

The above mentioned Joseph Mat­tison 4 married R u t h Jones, daugh­t e r of Seth Jones of Exeter , R. I. December 6, 1762, by Thomas Cory, just ice . The will of this Joseph Matt ison la te of Hebron, is dated J u n e 22, 1810 and w a s probated J a n u a r y 2, 1814. In the will he n a m e s his wife Ruth, daughters M a r y Thurman, Lois Bowen, Eliza­beth Hurd, Rebecah Atbro , Deliver­ance Montgomery, Sa rah Smith and R u t h Phelps; sons, eldest son, Henry Job, Jonathan, Thomas and youngest son, Joseph.

I n "History of Washington Coun­ty, N . Y." 1737-1878, page 500, is a no te which refers to a "Job and Mabel (Andrees) Madison" and t h a t they were in Hebron, N . Y. May 2. 1812 when their son John H. Madi­son was born.

I Therefore the compiler feels tha t i until more evidence is found, she , cannot definitely claim who were Die j pa ren t s of Job Matt ison, And she has never found the s l ightes t d u e s to the parents of Lois Carlisle.
