T H E ALBANY I N D I A N C O N F E R E N C E OCT. 14-15, 1745

By W. N . P . Dailey The minutes of this so-called

Trea ty or Conference were printed by B. Frank l in a t his "new pr int ing cffice near the M a r k e t in Philadel­phia" in 1746, and, recently, in 1938, they were repr in ted by the Penn­sylvania Historical Society under the financial aegis of El i jah E. Brownell, E. E. B. of Philadelphia. There a re twelve other t r ea t i e s printed in the ponderous tome (11x14 in.—340 pp.) but it is of th i s Albany ga ther ing tha t we wri te .

The conference w a s called by Gov­erned Clinton of the New York Pro­vince and w a s a t t ended by Indian Commissioners from Massachuset ts , Connecticut and Pennsylvania . Some four hundred and s ix ty of the I ro ­quois Confederacy were also present bivouacked on the hill adjacent to the place. Of the th i r teen or more t reat ies held wi th the Amerind be­tween 1736 and 1742 this Albany gather ing seems to have been of the least impor tance so far as pract ical results were obtained, al though his-ionaiio in genera* iiave itjitsiied to ;t as if it was one of the most im­por tant .

Instead of reviewing or repeat ing any of the official records of the con­ference we can obtain a much be t te r and more correct view of what hap­pened by reading the Journal of Con­rad Weiser, the official In tepre te r . He was a Pa l a t i ne refugee who had bought land in t he Mohawk Valley though never had occupied the si te . He spent a win te r in Schenectady but lived longer in the Schoharie country where his fa ther , John Conrad Weis­er. was one of the prominent set t lers . But most of his life was spent in the country of the Penns . Conrad Weiser

Van P a t t e n de­nied that he caused the a la rm but he refused to be fur ther examined unless it was done publicly. Because of the s i tuat ion the Indians became grea t ly excited and openly complain­ed of thei r t r e a tmen t by the Govern­or. If all he wanted was to secret ly examine a few braves, why call so many toge ther and keep them on the outside hill where they were cold and hungry, and never a s ight of the

Weiser reported this to the secre­t a r y of Clinton who called the chiefs of the Mohawks the same evening and demanded to know who w a s the wicked a la rmis t who had so w r o u g h t up the Galley Indians. As the Gov­ernor w a s offering a belt of w a m p u m one of the Indians began a bold and rude ha rangue , which Wei ser s top­ped, rebuking the brave, and accept­ed the belt for the Indians, and prom­ised an answer the next day, and would t ry to discover the culpri t who had caused the a la rm.

On October 9th the Indian Council me t the Governor again. Henry the Indian who had insulted the secre­t a ry the day before charged Van Pa t t en wi th m a k i n g the a la rm, but Weiser knew it was Henry himself and not Van P a t t e n who could not speak the Indian tongue. Then the Indians offered complaints about their lands being taken from them, Weiser knew tha t some of the com-

(Continued from las t week) Genealogy of the Bliss Family in

Amer ica from a b o u t t h e year 1550 to 1880, Compiled by

John Homer Bliss, Nor­wich, Conn. Coat of A r m s

Coats of a rms were long regarded a s "indispensable appendages of gen­t lemen," but on the decline of the feudal system, about 1688, and the rise of the Reformation, they were t rea ted in a measure a s idle trippings of aristocracy, and lost the prestige originally a t t r ibuted to them. In Am­erica they soon came to be regarded a s "relics of former family vani ty;" and the staunch old Pu r i t ans would not allow themselves to tolerate even a thought tha t could remind them of t he vain glorious display and pomp of their persecutors in England; and so their children and descendants bo rn in America g rew up in ignor­ance of the heraldic s tanding of their ances tors in the mother country.

In Edmonton 's Heraldry, and also in Vol. I I of "Encyclopedia Herald-ica," by William Ber ry of London, England, we find the following de­scription of the Coat of A r m s of the Bliss family:

"Gules, a bend caire, between two fleur-de-lis. or."

As to the construct ion of this shield, it appears t h a t gules (red) is a royal color, as General Leigh says " I t ha th long been used by emperors and kings for an appare l of majesty, and of judges in thei r judgment sea ts ." Spelman observes t ha t the color red was honored by the Ro-

HISTORY OF SCHENECTADY CLASSIS

REFORMED CHURCH IN AMERICA

Edited by REV. WILLIAM E. COMPTON

1681—1981 By Rev. W, E . Compton

SECOND REFORMED CHUCRH OF SCHENECTADY

(Continued f rom las t week) Seventy-eight * yea r s have passed

since our church w a s organized. We can but hope to give a skeleton of these fruitful years . The cheer, the instruction, the comfort, the help and inspiration this church h a s given dur ing all these years , these are wri t ­ten in the Book of Life.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, when the ci ty was extend­ing beyond the old Er ie Canal, the people there residing desired a church of their own.

The Great Consistory (elders and ex-elders of tha t church) of the F i r s t Reformed Church resolved tha t "a Second Dutch Church in this city was both expedient and necessary." The first steps were t aken in July, 1851, when a prayer meet ing and Sunday School were opened in the home of the Rev. Alonson B. Chittenden. The Sunday School met in the White s t ree t school house (Clinton s treet near Liberty.) Five teachers and ten scholars met t h a t f i rs t rainy Sun­day.

A t the fall meet ing of Classis, held in September 1851, author i ty was gran ted to organize the new church upon the application of twelve com­municants and twenty-nine heads of families.

The Rev. A. B. Chittenden was chosen as supervisor over the new church. On October 30th a meeting w a s held when fourteen char ter members were received and a consis­tory chosen. It m a y be said tha t the church organization dates from this t ime, although the formal organiza­tion and the instal lat ion of officers did not take place until November 16th, the services being held in the F i r s t Church. At this service the Rev. W. J. R. Taylor, D. D., preach­ed the sermon, the Rev. N. D. Wil-

the consistory and the Rev. Talmadge charged the congregation.

The char ter members were: Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Van Santvoord. Mr and Mrs. John Lricson, Air. and Mrs. Henry Ramsey, P e t e r J. Wemple, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen H. Johnson, Casper C. Ham, Cephas Ham, Mr.

mans as it had been before by the Trojans, for they painted their goods \ liamson ordained and charged with Vermillion, and clothed their generals who t r iumphed, with gar­men t s of tha t hue. This color denotes mar t ia l prowess, boldness, hardihood valor and magnanu iu iy ; it is consid­ered the noblest of all colors and in Hera ldry is assimilated to the planet M ar s in the heavens, to the ruby among stones and a m o n g flowers to t he rose.

The origin of vair (or vaire) is f rom the fur of a beas t called varus, (Makenzie, p. 23) whose back is a blue gray, its belly being white, and therefore heralds have expressed it white and blue in colors; and when t h e head and feet nt t he animal pre t aken away the skin resembles in f igure a little cup or bell. The skins a r e used al ternately blue and white, and in. ancient t imes were much in vogue for lining the robes and man­tles of senators, consuls, kings and emperors, and thereupon were term­ed "doublings." The f irst of them in heraldry is said to be from Le Seg-neur de Coucies, f ight ing in Hun­ga ry and seeing his a r m y fly, pulled out the doubling or lining of his cloak, which was of those colors, and hung it up as an ensign, whereupon

and Mrs. John Van Stantvoord and J a m e s Hartness . Mr. Casper Ham, son and grandson of cha r t e r mem­bers of the church, remains the only one identified with the church a t the present time.

The first place of public worship was the Cameraman Church on Maiden Lane (Center s t ree t neat L iber ty) , where for a t ime the pul­pi t w a s supplied by minis ters of the churches within the Classis. Soon af­t e r the Rev. Isaac G.. Duryee was called to become the first pastor , and en te red upon his fruitful minis t ry in 1852. :

The Rev. Duryee was of French Huguenot stoek, whose forefathers came with the Dutch to set t le among them. He was called from the Re­formed Church a t Glenham, N. Y. During the Civil war he w a s appoint­ed on a Christian commission, serv­ing throughout the war, and spending seme time in Libby Prison. He served t h e church from 1852 to 1858. The hardships incident to the w a r result­ed in his early and lamentable death in 1866.

He was a man of God, of unt i r ing and zealous labors and w a s instru­menta l in erecting the f irs t church building. Plans for a church edifice were made, and the s t ruc tu re was completed in 1856. This church for many years stood on the corner of

The Rev. Cornelius S. Van Sant-voord was called to be his successor. He came from old Dutch stock. For two centuries the Van Santvoord 's have been ministers in the Reformed church. His pas tora te extended over but two years, 1860 to 1861.

Dur ing the two years interim, while the church had been without a pastor , an effort was made to car­ry the church into another denomi­nation. This, however, proved fruit­less. I t remained, therefore, for Dr. Van Santvoord to reunite the scat­tered torces. He thus performed a wor thy service during his shor t pas­to ra te .

Weiser carefully noted the trend of the Albany conference, and the Gov­ernor 's t r e a t m e n t of the Red Men, and meticulously noted down in his Journal the events of the same.

an Albany inn. On the 5th the In­dians arrived and were quartered on a hill outside the village. Weiser was invited to the var ious functions tha t were held dur ing the ga ther ing but preferred to remain away not want ­ing to compromise himself In any way.

Before the conference began Gov­ernor Clinton's secre ta ry rolled on Weiser to inform him tha t the the Albanians opposed his a t tending the meeting, and, more , that wha t he had reported uf the Indian situation in the Mohawk count ry was not, so, Weiser replied t h a t he knew the for­mer was HO, but he wag prepared to prove that the second was not so. However, btC«USS Governor Clinton was suspicious of the official inter­preter who had been chosen, he asked Weiser to ac t a s such, recognizing his Integrity and influence with the Iroquois.

October 6th fell on Sunday and there were no public meetings, but the Tndmnsi held conferences with W " ! « » T on the m a t t e r s to come be­fore the ga ther ing . On Oct. 7th WHs-

plaints were groundless, but he told the Governor how many of the people j the soldiers knowing his courage and of Albany were cheat ing the Indians of their lands. The Governor promis­ed to adjus t the mat te r , but he never did so and dismissed the meet ing tha t had lasted five hours.

Weiser was asked to a t tend the conference of the Pennsylvania Onm-proval to do ao, and asked the Gov­ernor to notify the. Pennsylvanians of his approval . Bu t Clinton cursed both his secre tary and Weiser and went out wi thout any action. II was not until the tenth tha t Clinton met the Indians publicly when In- "pro­claimed war in the name of Cod ftgalngt the French" and urged the Five Nations to join Hie British agains t the French, A h*}t of wam­pum in the form of a hutchet was offered and received by the Red Men with much shouting. Clinton then promised them "cloafhs and Provi­sions and Ammunition.'*

! Very early next morning Weiser repaired to the hilltop to cunmjli the

I Iroquois and found them hes i tant to car ry the hatchet . If Urn Fnglish were so powerful as they claimed let (hem fight the French without the aid of the Amerind. The New Eng-land Commissioners were eager to have Weiser bring the Indians over to Clinton's plan but he refused to do so believing it meant great dan ger and loss for the New York Pro­vince, Counselling with the Penn­sylvania Commissioners both he and they were agreed that it was a snare of the interpreter and advised against it. At the gathering, where Clinton declared war, the Pennsyl­vania Commissions!'! were not pres­ent because they were adverse to war ; also, at the Lancas ter t r ea ty of June 17PI, where Weiser was llic in­terpreter , they had derided on being neutral ,
