Joyce, 16 Front street, # Sehenectday, 5 N. Y. THE ALBANY INDIAN CONFERENCE OCT. 14-15, 1745 By W. N. P. Dailey The minutes of this so-called Treaty or Conference were printed by B. Franklin at his "new printing cffice near the Market in Philadel- phia" in 1746, and, recently, in 1938, they were reprinted by the Penn- sylvania Historical Society under the financial aegis of Elijah E. Brownell, E. E. B. of Philadelphia. There are twelve other treaties printed in the ponderous tome (11x14 in.—340 pp.) but it is of this Albany gathering that we write. The conference was called by Gov- erned Clinton of the New York Pro- vince and was attended by Indian Commissioners from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Some four hundred and sixty of the Iro- quois Confederacy were also present bivouacked on the hill adjacent to the place. Of the thirteen or more treaties held with the Amerind be- tween 1736 and 1742 this Albany gathering seems to have been of the least importance so far as practical results were obtained, although his- ionaiio in genera* iiave itjitsiied to ;t as if it was one of the most im- portant. Instead of reviewing or repeating any of the official records of the con- ference we can obtain a much better and more correct view of what hap- pened by reading the Journal of Con- rad Weiser, the official Intepreter. He was a Palatine refugee who had bought land in the Mohawk Valley though never had occupied the site. He spent a winter in Schenectady but lived longer in the Schoharie country where his father, John Conrad Weis- er. was one of the prominent settlers. But most of his life was spent in the country of the Penns. Conrad Weiser PH. er was called in by the Governor to a private hearing of one Andrew Van Patten, a low Dutch settler who was accused of starting a false rumor among the Mohawk Valley Indians the winter before. Van Patten de- nied that he caused the alarm but he refused to be further examined unless it was done publicly. Because of the situation the Indians became greatly excited and openly complain- ed of their treatment by the Govern- or. If all he wanted was to secretly examine a few braves, why call so many together and keep them on the outside hill where they were cold and hungry, and never a sight of the Weiser reported this to the secre- tary of Clinton who called the chiefs of the Mohawks the same evening and demanded to know who was the wicked alarmist who had so wrought up the Galley Indians. As the Gov- ernor was offering a belt of wampum one of the Indians began a bold and rude harangue, which Wei ser stop- ped, rebuking the brave, and accept- ed the belt for the Indians, and prom- ised an answer the next day, and would try to discover the culprit who had caused the alarm. On October 9th the Indian Council met the Governor again. Henry the Indian who had insulted the secre- tary the day before charged Van Patten with making the alarm, but Weiser knew it was Henry himself and not Van Patten who could not speak the Indian tongue. Then the Indians offered complaints about their lands being taken from them, Weiser knew that some of the com- Families Allied with the Leavitts (Compiled by Leora Mae Green Hildenbrand, Johnstown,, N. Y.) (Continued from last week) Genealogy of the Bliss Family in America from about the year 1550 to 1880, Compiled by John Homer Bliss, Nor- wich, Conn. Coat of Arms Coats of arms were long regarded as "indispensable appendages of gen- tlemen," but on the decline of the feudal system, about 1688, and the rise of the Reformation, they were treated in a measure as idle trippings of aristocracy, and lost the prestige originally attributed to them. In Am- erica they soon came to be regarded as "relics of former family vanity;" and the staunch old Puritans would not allow themselves to tolerate even a thought that could remind them of the vain glorious display and pomp of their persecutors in England; and so their children and descendants born in America grew up in ignor- ance of the heraldic standing of their ancestors in the mother country. In Edmonton's Heraldry, and also in Vol. II of "Encyclopedia Herald- ica," by William Berry of London, England, we find the following de- scription of the Coat of Arms of the Bliss family: "Gules, a bend caire, between two fleur-de-lis. or." As to the construction of this shield, it appears that gules (red) is a royal color, as General Leigh says "It hath long been used by emperors and kings for an apparel of majesty, and of judges in their judgment seats." Spelman observes that 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 from last week) Seventy-eight * years have passed since our church was 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 has given during all these years, these are writ- ten in the Book of Life. In the middle of the nineteenth century, when the city was extend- ing beyond the old Erie Canal, the people there residing desired a church of their own. The Great Consistory (elders and ex-elders of that church) of the First Reformed Church resolved that "a Second Dutch Church in this city was both expedient and necessary." The first steps were taken in July, 1851, when a prayer meeting and Sunday School were opened in the home of the Rev. Alonson B. Chittenden. The Sunday School met in the White street school house (Clinton street near Liberty.) Five teachers and ten scholars met that first rainy Sun- day. At the fall meeting of Classis, held in September 1851, authority was granted to organize the new church upon the application of twelve com- municants and twenty-nine heads of families. The Rev. A. B. Chittenden was chosen as supervisor over the new church. On October 30th a meeting was held when fourteen charter members were received and a consis- tory chosen. It may be said that the church organization dates from this time, although the formal organiza- tion and the installation of officers did not take place until November 16th, the services being held in the First Church. At this service the Rev. W. J. R. Taylor, D. D., preach- ed the sermon, the Rev. N. D. Wil- the consistory and the Rev. Talmadge charged the congregation. The charter members were: Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Van Santvoord. Mr and Mrs. John Lricson, Air. and Mrs. Henry Ramsey, Peter 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 triumphed, with gar- ments of that hue. This color denotes martial prowess, boldness, hardihood valor and magnanuiuiy; it is consid- ered the noblest of all colors and in Heraldry is assimilated to the planet Mars in the heavens, to the ruby among stones and among flowers to the rose. The origin of vair (or vaire) is from the fur of a beast 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 the head and feet nt the animal pre taken away the skin resembles in figure a little cup or bell. The skins are used alternately blue and white, and in. ancient times were much in vogue for lining the robes and man- tles of senators, consuls, kings and emperors, and thereupon were term- ed "doublings." The first of them in heraldry is said to be from Le Seg- neur de Coucies, fighting in Hun- gary and seeing his army 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 James Hartness. Mr. Casper Ham, son and grandson of charter mem- bers of the church, remains the only one identified with the church at the present time. The first place of public worship was the Cameraman Church on Maiden Lane (Center street neat Liberty), where for a time the pul- pit was supplied by ministers of the churches within the Classis. Soon af- ter the Rev. Isaac G.. Duryee was called to become the first pastor, and entered upon his fruitful ministry in 1852. : The Rev. Duryee was of French Huguenot stoek, whose forefathers came with the Dutch to settle among them. He was called from the Re- formed Church at Glenham, N. Y. During the Civil war he was appoint- ed on a Christian commission, serv- ing throughout the war, and spending seme time in Libby Prison. He served the church from 1852 to 1858. The hardships incident to the war result- ed in his early and lamentable death in 1866. He was a man of God, of untiring and zealous labors and was instru- mental in erecting the first church building. Plans for a church edifice were made, and the structure was completed in 1856. This church for many years stood on the corner of Odell and Other Westport Clans By Harry Odell 1842 ((Harriet Lobdell (Odell > died)); 1843, Jonathan Cady ((Rob- ert Ferris Odell married Roxy Ann Hanchet, February 23rd; Euretta Roselthy Odell born October 6th.)); 427 "Millerite" Fanatacism said:: "end of the world would come in 1843;" every person in Panton, Ver- mont, was a believer; 1849, telegraph inventor; 472, September, 1856, Hor- ace Greely spoke in Elizabethtown* "not much of an orator;" 1858, real estate increased over four times in value in 30 years; 1837, Robert Adel- bert Odell went to Iowa; 1859, John Brown executed, ((his body lying in state in Westport,)) Monday, De- cember 5, 1859; page 489, I860, Her- bert L.

Darius Orcutt, Lewis Odell, Levi Odell founded the church for the colored people, that church still bearing his name. Failing in health, due to his strenuous life and service, he tender- ed his resignation in 1858. 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 pastorate extended over but two years, 1860 to 1861. During the two years interim, while the church had been without a pastor, an effort was made to car- ry the church into another denomi- nation. This, however, proved fruit- less. It remained, therefore, for Dr. Van Santvoord to reunite the scat- tered torces. He thus performed a worthy service during his short pas- torate.

Weiser carefully noted the trend of the Albany conference, and the Gov- ernor's treatment of the Red Men, and meticulously noted down in his Journal the events of the same.

On the 5th the In- dians arrived and were quartered on a hill outside the village. Weiser was invited to the various functions that were held during the gathering but preferred to remain away not want- ing to compromise himself In any way. Before the conference began Gov- ernor Clinton's secretary rolled on Weiser to inform him that the the Albanians opposed his attending the meeting, and, more, that what he had reported uf the Indian situation in the Mohawk country was not, so, Weiser replied that he knew the for- mer was HO, but he wag prepared to prove that the second was not so. However, btC«USS Governor Clinton was suspicious of the official inter- preter who had been chosen, he asked Weiser to act as 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 matters to come be- fore the gathering. 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 cheating the Indians of their lands. The Governor promis- ed to adjust the matter, but he never did so and dismissed the meeting that had lasted five hours. Weiser was asked to attend the conference of the Pennsylvania Onm- proval to do ao, and asked the Gov- ernor to notify the. Pennsylvanians of his approval. But Clinton cursed both his secretary and Weiser and went out without any action. II was not until the tenth that Clinton met the Indians publicly when In- "pro- claimed war in the name of Cod ftgalngt the French" and urged the Five Nations to join Hie British against the French, A h*}t of wam- pum in the form of a hutchet was offered and received by the Red Men with much shouting. Clinton then promised them "cloafhs and Provi- sions and Ammunition.'* ! Very early next morning Weiser repaired to the hilltop to cunmjli the I Iroquois and found them hesitant to carry 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 Pro- vince, Counselling with the Penn- sylvania 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 Pennsyl- vania Commissions!'! were not pres- ent because they were adverse to war; also, at the Lancaster treaty of June 17PI, where Weiser was llic in- terpreter, they had derided on being neutral, (To b# continued) Published by Hamilton Child of Sy- racuse, N, y.

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-

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."

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. The Pennsylvania Commissioners arrived a t Albany on October -1th and were lodged with Philip Livingston, Jr. The Connecticut and Massachusetts (-<iiiiiiiiBtiiuiit'i*s i i i i i i i ' t h e next d a y .

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 ,
