The outbreak of the #RevolutionaryWar in 1775 forced many settlers and Native American Nations in the Thirteen Colonies to choose between old loyalties to the British Crown and the new Patriot rebellion. At the time of the Revolution, the Six Nations Confederacy (Iroquois Confederacy) dominated Upstate New York and parts of Canada and had been longstanding allies of British authorities. However, the Six Nations were far from monolithic. The Oneida and Tuscarora, which had become politically oriented towards the colonists in Boston, chose to lend their strength to the Patriot cause in 1776, contributing as many as 5,500 men to Washington’s Continental Army. The Oneida and Tuscarora soldiers proved to be excellent scouts, guides, and skirmishers, and contributed greatly to the campaigns of 1777 and 1778 which culminated in the Continental victory at the Battle of Saratoga. At the Battle of Oriskany in August 1777, the Continental Army and its Oneida soldiers fought a significant force of Loyalist Americans and their Native allies, particularly from the Confederacy’s Mohawk Nation. The other constituent parts of the Six Nations remained aligned with the British, and the Oneida and Tuscarora were forced to devote most of their strength to fending off their former allies in a brutal civil war that left the two nations devastated by the 1780’s. The heavy toll exacted upon the Oneida and Tuscarora for their support of the Patriot cause went beyond military sacrifice. The two nations had paid for victory with their very culture, their ancient way of life evaporating over the long years of war. The weakened Oneida and Tuscarora were unable to withstand the encroachment of New York state authorities on their territories, and their ancestral holdings were swallowed up in the post-war period. In 1794, the U.S. Congress finally made a small gesture of appreciation to their Native allies, agreeing to monetarily compensate the Oneida and Tuscarora for their wartime losses. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CklJ2L6uH9t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thinking about the Sullivan Expedition

By Jonathan Monfiletto

During its reign over its North American territory, Great Britain attempted to keep peace with the Native Americans who already lived here. Following the French and Indian War, as the North American theater of the Seven Years’ War was known, the British government adopted the Proclamation of 1763 to declare its colonists could not settle west of the Appalachian Mountains.

The western portion of British-claimed territory was considered to be Native American land. In New York, the boundary between the colony and indigenous land lay around the modern-day Utica-Rome area. After the American Revolution, however, the proclamation was nullified and the newly ordained American citizens began to explore and settle their new country.

That brought the Public Universal Friend – the person – and the Society of Universal Friends – the group – into what they called the Genesee Country, as the first permanent, non-native settlers of what is now Yates County. It also brought Levi Benton and his family – the first settlers of the county aside from the Friends – and many other Pennsylvanians and New England Yankees to the area.

The Genesee Country became a focal point for white settlement in the early years of the American nation. That’s because of an event that happened a decade before the Friends arrived, in which soldiers who took part returned home with stories of a wonderful and bountiful land.

In 1779, General George Washington dispatched General John Sullivan and his forces to march up the Susquehanna River in eastern Pennsylvania to the Genesee River in western New York. The goal was to harass the tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy who lived in that area and had allied with the British.

What became known as the Sullivan Expedition occurred after what the Continental Army considered massacres by Iroquois warriors in Wyoming Valley (along the Susquehanna in Pennsylvania) and Cherry Valley (south of the Mohawk River in New York). In secondary accounts of the expedition, these events read more like raids in which Iroquois forces took part alongside, and under the direction of, British forces. The Continental Army nevertheless decided it needed to specifically target the Iroquois with an offensive in response.

The expedition did not result in a large loss of life – there were a few casualties on both sides in scattered skirmishes – as thousands of Iroquois fled their villages toward British strongholds ahead of the approaching troops. The Army did not take any Iroquois captives, though that had been a goal of the expedition, and the main result was troops destroyed Iroquois villages and decimated homes and crops.

In 1929, during the 150th anniversary of the Sullivan Expedition, Herbert D. Winters – the head of the history department of Keuka College – wrote a series of 11 articles for The Chronicle-Express that offered a detailed and extensive history of the expedition. He discusses the planning of the expedition and its beginnings and then charts Sullivan’s course. I used Winters’ writings – along with an essay by Seneca County Historian Walter J. Gable, a webpage from the National Park Service, and the Historical Marker Database website – to inform this article.

Following the course of the Susquehanna, Sullivan and his forces staged the Battle of Newtown – in present-day Elmira – against, again, a mix of British and Iroquois forces. From there, the expedition entered the Finger Lakes region through Catherine’s Town at the southern end of Seneca Lake. The expedition marched northward up the east side of Seneca Lake.

Once Sullivan’s forces reached the northern end of Seneca Lake, at the Seneca village of Kanadesaga, he sent detachments down both the west side and east side of Cayuga Lake. Though the expedition did not travel the entire length of the west side of Seneca Lake, it did reach present-day Yates County. A detachment was sent to the Seneca village of Kashong to destroy it.

As Winters documents, a force of 400 men, and later an additional 200 reinforcements, went to work destroying the crops they found there – potatoes, apples, peaches, cucumbers, watermelons, and corn. The village, like many the expedition encountered, was already deserted of people. This force joined up with the main body to continue to the Genesee River, but upon their return eastward they visited Kashong once again to inflict further destruction on the houses and buildings there.

The sesquicentennial celebration in 1929 saw the establishment of numerous monuments to the Sullivan Expedition. These consist largely of stone-and-metal monuments depicting the route of Sullivan’s forces and standard blue-and-yellow markers recalling where Iroquois villages once stood and other aspects of the expedition. There are at least 10 such monuments in Seneca County alone, with four in Cayuga County, three in Ontario County, and one each in Schuyler County and Tompkins County.

According to HMDB, there are a total of 72 historical markers dedicated to the Sullivan Expedition; other markers are located elsewhere throughout New York and Pennsylvania, along the route Sullivan traveled. There are none in Yates County that I am aware of, although one of the monuments listed in Ontario County is located at Kashong, a hamlet on the border of Ontario and Yates counties.

The markers denoting the trail of the Sullivan Expedition refer to it as a campaign “against the hostile Indian nations” that resulted in “extending westward the dominion of the United States.” A stone obelisk in Waterloo even states it is meant “to commemorate the destruction of the Indian village Skoi-Yase.” We should certainly commemorate the Sullivan Expedition, but how to commemorate it without such harmful language is a difficult question.

The Sullivan Expedition has been celebrated in the Finger Lakes region for clearing the way, figuratively and literally, to settlement of the land after the war. On the one hand, the expedition was indeed a military campaign against an enemy during wartime. On the other hand, it was a genocide, as the Continental Army sought not just to attack the Iroquois but to wipe them and their livelihood from their land. I’m wondering how we should discuss the Sullivan Expedition and place it in historical context.

The Sullivan Expedition resulted in the settlement of the Finger Lakes region, and people of white European descent would not be here without it. Yet, such a tragic and horrific event probably should not be celebrated the way it is on so many historical markers around the region.

Crucial Role of France in America's Revolution.

The American Revolution, a pivotal moment in history that shaped the destiny of a fledgling nation, is often credited to the bravery and resilience of the American colonists. However, beneath the surface of this well-known narrative lies a crucial element that played a paramount role in tipping the scales in favor of the American cause – the invaluable support of France. As we delve into the events from March 22, 1765, to September 3, 1783, it becomes evident that without France, America may never have emerged victorious in its quest for independence.

The Seeds of Discord:

The journey toward American independence was fraught with challenges, with tensions escalating between the American colonies and the British Crown. The passage of the Stamp Act in 1765 marked a turning point, triggering widespread discontent among the colonists. This discontent would eventually snowball into a full-fledged rebellion, setting the stage for a conflict that would define a nation.

The French Connection:

As discontent grew, so did the realisation that the American colonies would need external support to face the formidable might of the British Empire. Enter France, a key player in global politics with a long-standing rivalry with Britain. France's interest in undermining British influence, coupled with a desire to avenge its defeat in the Seven Years' War, set the stage for a covert alliance that would alter the course of history.

Financial and Military Aid:

France's support for the American cause was multi-faceted. Recognizing the financial strain on the fledgling Continental Army, the French government, under the astute guidance of King Louis XVI, extended substantial financial assistance to the American revolutionaries. This support was pivotal in enabling the colonies to sustain their military efforts.

Furthermore, France provided critical military aid in the form of troops, naval support, and skilled military leaders. The Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat who joined the Continental Army, became a close ally of General George Washington and played a crucial role in various battles, including the pivotal Battle of Yorktown.

The Decisive Battle of Yorktown:

The turning point of the American Revolution came with the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. French naval forces, led by Admiral de Grasse, effectively blockaded British reinforcements, trapping General Cornwallis and his army. The combined forces of American and French troops, along with the French navy, forced Cornwallis to surrender, marking a decisive victory for the American cause.

The Treaty of Paris 1783:

The role of France extended beyond the battlefield to the diplomatic arena. In 1783, the Treaty of Paris was negotiated, officially recognizing the independence of the United States. France's diplomatic efforts were instrumental in securing favourable terms for the newly formed nation, establishing the United States as a sovereign entity.

While the American Revolution is often celebrated as a testament to the spirit of liberty and resilience of the American people, it is crucial to acknowledge the indispensable role played by France in securing America's independence. The financial, military, and diplomatic support provided by France not only sustained the American revolutionary effort but also tilted the balance in favour of the colonies during critical moments. The alliance between France and America during this tumultuous period stands as a testament to the power of international cooperation and the interconnectedness of nations in shaping the course of history.

Without France, the outcome of the American Revolution may well have been a different story altogether. Many Americans I speak to don't even know their own history it's truly embarrassing.

Why are we taught to fear people questioning and speaking out against “monkey pox” and not the people pushing the agenda. It’s the SAME EXACT BS ENERGY. The people that were Pro-Public Execution were ALWAYS the true horror movie-esque scary monsters.

One of the noblest of the early settlers

By Jonathan Monfiletto

If I ever can, by some technological or supernatural means, then I would someday like to meet Stafford C. Cleveland – the longtime editor of the Yates County Chronicle and the beloved author of History and Directory of Yates County, which he published in 1873. It is this second accomplishment I would particularly like to talk about with Mr. Cleveland, for his history – we colloquially and affectionately call it “the Cleveland book” around the Yates County History Center – is an invaluable resource for research about the early formation and the early residents of this county.

In the days before computers, audio recorders (an invaluable resource for any journalist, I found in my past career, as people tend to talk faster than I can write legibly), or even telephones, Mr. Cleveland captured the people and places of the first 50 years of Yates County’s existence – and the more than 30 years of nonnative settlement before that – in nearly 1,200 pages across two volumes. How he not only managed this but achieved it is something I will forever marvel over. He did it not just matter-of-factly but eloquently and poetically.

I imagine Mr. Cleveland riding horseback through the countryside of Yates County during the 1860s and 1870s, inquiring about the area’s pioneers from the families themselves and equipped with a notebook or journal of some kind. I’m not sure if that is how he gathered the content for his book, so I’ll have to ask him about that. Though he wasn’t a native of Yates County and hadn’t arrived here until the mid-1850s, when he took over what became the Chronicle, Cleveland wrote as if he had been among those who trudged through the wilderness to carve out a living.

And that brings me to the story of Eliphalet Hull and his family. Cleveland describes Hull as “one of the noblest of the early settlers of Benton, a good man with endowments and acquirements that made him useful to his own generation and doubly so to the youth of the new settlement.” According to Cleveland, Hull was the first school teacher in Benton and the first Methodist class leader west of Utica, with his brother-in-law Ezra Cole (the men apparently both married sisters of Jared Patchen) the first minister of what became the Benton Center Methodist Church. “… a teacher of singing, capable of writing musical note books with his pen, hardly surpassed in beauty by the neatest print,” Cleveland wrote of Hull. “His zealous labors in behalf of education and religion, no less than the long line of his descendants, mark him as a noted father in the land” (See what I mean about the eloquence and poetry alongside the facts?).

Born December 4, 1749 at Hull’s Farm in Norwalk, Connecticut – the son of Seth Hull and Hannah Rumsey – Eliphalet Hull married Huldah Patchen, born April 19, 1750 in Wilton, Connecticut, the daughter of Daniel Patchen and Martha Hubble, on May 24, 1768 in Wilton. Together, the couple first settled in Ballston in Saratoga County in 1771, “where they lived till after the Revolutionary War, being twice obliged to feel to Connecticut for safety during that period,” Cleveland wrote. Hull was “largely engaged in the war, and in his absence his wife and children sometimes fled to the woods for safety.”

Indeed, an unidentified source from our subject files describes Ballston then as “one of the frontier settlements and like all that region exposed to the Indian depredations from Canada.” The source states Hull struggled through four or five years of pioneer life in “that then wild section” when the Revolution broke out.

Hull is credited with helping, with this team of two yoke of oxen, place a large chain across the Hudson River below West Point to prevent British vessels sailing up the river from that point. In another unidentified source from our subject files, this chain is described as “made of heavy iron links and clevises, anchored to each shore. Secured to and floated on saw longs … derisively called by the British ‘The Yankee Pumpkin Vine.’” In a 1967 newspaper article, Mrs. Fenton E. Bootes described Hull as a private scout and minuteman. “Receiving no pay from the government, he found his reward in the blessings of that independence, in which he and his children’s children have rejoiced,” Cleveland wrote.

In 1788, Hull and Cole and their families moved to Unadilla, Otsego County and stayed there four years. In the spring of 1792, the Hulls and the Coles joined up with the Buells – Cyrus Buell was by then a son-in-law of Hull – and formed a group of 32 people to journey to the Genesee Country. Seven of them – Hull, his son Daniel, Samuel Buell and his sons Samuel, Cyrus, and Ichabod, and Mathew Cole – scouted out the land and determined locations for settlement. Ichabod and Mathew took care of a field of corn the group planted at present-day Kashong and also worked in Caleb Benton’s sawmill on Kashong Creek. The other five returned to Unadilla to bring their families and possessions to their new wilderness home.

As Cleveland told it, the contingent followed the Susquehanna River from Unadilla to Owego, the women and children placed in four large canoes lashed in pairs and covered over to make two barges that also carried the household goods. The men and boys drove the livestock on land along the river. From there, with sleds and a cart, they traveled to Ithaca, making the 29-mile trip in four days without a single house along the way. After celebrating the Fourth of July with the people in Ithaca, the group floated up Cayuga Lake to a point opposite their destination and then “crossed the peninsula between the lakes,” Cleveland called it, and then crossed Seneca Lake to Kashong. A detachment drove the livestock around the lake through Geneva. Eventually, all were welcomed to their new home.

Hull and his family eventually settled on lot 58 – presently located in the town of Benton on the modern-day border between Benton and Torrey. Much like his Connecticut boyhood home, he called it the Hull Farm and is considered the first settler of this area of Yates County. Eliphalet and Huldah raised eight children – Salmon, Hannah, David, Sarah, Martha, Anna, Eliphalet, and Seth.

In an article in the July 29, 1869 Yates County Chronicle, David Buell described Hull as large and athletic, of light complexion, with blue eyes, a master of the rifle and an expert woodsman, and prepossessing in manner and appearance. Eliphalet died March 30, 1813 at age 63, while Huldah died September 30, 1839 at age 88. They are buried together, along with Huldah’s mother, in Baldwin Cemetery in Benton.
