==History==
The cemetery was dedicated Monday, 11 Oct. 1897 by the Rev. John Kling of the [[St. Paul's Lutheran Church]], in a ''brief and impressive ceremony'' according to the newspaper. The first burial was that of William Zeh, who was buried Friday, 13 Oct. 1897. Some earlier stones are the result of reburials from other cemeteries.
==Burials==

Pine Grove Cemetery (Lutheran Church Cemetery)

JElberfeld:

__NOTOC__[[Image:PineGrove.jpg|300px|thumb|right|<center>During restoration Labor day weekend, 2002<br.>photo by Marily Miller Nardolillo]]

==Location==
Half way between the hamlets of Berne and East Berne on the south side of [[Helderberg Trail]] in a grove of Pine Trees. There is a NYS Historical Marker along the road side telling commemorating the founding in the first Lutheran church in Berne.
==Description==
In a grove of pine trees. Front 89 feet, sides 300, back 50 feet. The front half of the cemetery is mowed fairly frequently; the back half may be overgrown as the grass is cut less frequently.
==History==
Started as the Zeh and Warner families burying ground. The earliest stone found so far is dated 1777, almost two decades before the Lutheran church was built. Among the family names are Zeh, Warner, Strevell, Martin, Tompkins, Wagoner, Nelson, Hannay, and Bradt. The latest stones are dated in March 1871, when three Strevell children, aged one to five years old, died in an eight-day period. In the 19th Century the Berne and Beaverdam Cemetery was also called the Pine Grove Cemetery, creating some confusion. In 1955 the cemetery was an impenetrable thicket of thorny brush, beneath second-growth pines. That year the Luther League of St. Paul's Lutheran Church began clearing it; since then the Town has periodically cleared the brush. The front part is currently kept mowed by the neighbor on the west. As part of the Berne Heritage Days activities over Labor Day Weekend 2002 the Pine Grove Cemetery was restored. Following early church services on Sunday morning, September 1, the Boy Scouts of Berne and 4-H clubs assisted local church congregants, and visiting out-of-town descendants of Berne ancestors in clearing the underbrush, filling sunken graves, and righting fallen and leaning stones. At the conclusion, a New York State Historical Marker was placed near the road to mark the 1790 organization of the first Lutheran Church in the Town of Berne. After the morning work session there was a community covered-dish picnic lunch at the cemetery.

Lot 594

Lot 594 
Grid 595 
Foxenkill Creek, (Beaverdam) [[Berne]]<ref>Miller, Harold. "Berne Historical Project - Land Records Listing"; [http://www.bernehistory.org/landLotSearch.asp]</ref> 
[[Image:Beaver Dam-Lrg Doc.jpg|300px|thumb|right|<center>Van Rensselaer 1787 survey map, New York State Archives, Lot 594 - Johannes Ecker in lower center</center>]]
Initally setted by '''[[Bio:Nicholas Ecker|Nicholas Ecker]]''' and his son '''[[Bio:Johannes Ecker|Johannes Ecker]]''' (1735-1817) 
Current Owner: James Hamilton and Mary Ellen 
Address: 2216 Switzkill Rd. 

*<1745 - A study of the vital records of the Ecker family indicates that the farm was probably homesteaded by Nicholas Ecker before 1745.
*1767, West Rensselaerswyck, Albany Co, NY - Tax Rolls: John, Joseph and Peter Ecker families, living near Dietz/Tiets.<ref>Christoph, Florence A. "''Upstate New York in the 1760s: Tax Lists and Selected Militia Rolls of Old Albany County, 1760-1768''." Camden, ME: Picton Press, 1992. pp53, 60</ref> -- right now, Glen Swartz assumes the tax paid on this land, was that land initially held by Nicholas Ecker.
*1774 Sep 12, lease, Van Rensselaer to Johannis Ecker of the Beaver Dam in the Manor of Rensselaerwyck, Yeoman; 141 acres. (On the same day [[Conrad Swart| Conrad Schwart]] signed a similar lease for [[Lot 518]] in the Switzkill Valley, as did [[Peter Deitz]] for [[Lot 519]].
*[[1787 survey map]] by Wm Cockburn shows lot 594 as an irregular shaped lot of 107 acres on both sides of Fox Creek was being leased by Johannes Ecker. His house was on Switzkill Road where the barns are now located for 2216 Switzkill Road.<ref>Photocopy, 1997, found in the "''Van Rensselaer Manor Papers''," Manuscripts & Special Collections at the New York State Library, Albany, NY</ref> The irregular shape indicates that the land was settled before the survey. From this it can be deduced that Ecker was a squatter on the land owned by Stephen Van Rensselaer whose ancestors had been granted essentially all of the land in Albany and Rensselaer Counties in 1629. While the Van Rensselaers leased the land below the Helderberg escarpment to Dutch settlers, the land above was assumed by them to be wilderness. Unbeknownst to the Van Rensselaers, squatters of German and Swiss descent had begun homesteading the good valley land along the banks of the Foxenkill and the Switzkill beginning about 1740.

*1790 Margaret Ecker, daughter of Nicholas Jr., md. Johan Jost Schaeffer son of a Jost Schaeffer who lived a mile south on [[Lot 558]]
*1790 census Rensselaerville, Albany Co, NY (M637-6),
[[Image:2216_switzkill.JPG|300px|thumb|right|<center>2216 Switzkill Rd, Lot 594 (2009)</center>]]
*1800 Bern, Albany Co, NY (M32-22),
*1810 Bern, Albany Co, NY (M252-26),
*1820 Berne, Albany Co, NY (M33-63),
*1837 Van Rensselaer lease records show Johannes Shafer was leasing this lot. Perhaps he built the older part of the house, what is now the back wing. Imagine it as a small house. Many 19th Century Berne houses have what now appears to be a small wing, but that was actually the original house.
> 1844 - After Shafer’s wife died in 1844 he continued to live here, sharing the house with his nephew William Shafer and family.
*1850 census his widowed sister-in-law Magdalena Snyder Shafer and her son also living in the house, so there were actually parts of three related families living in the house. The relatively high value of the real estate shows that the newer part of the house had already been built, so the house was now a duplex.
*[[k:1854 map|1854 map]] shows the Widow Shaver living in the house, Anna's husband William having died in 1848.
*[[h:1866 Beers map|1866 Beers map]] shows A. and J. Shaver living at what is now 2216 Switzkill Road. That would be the families of the widow Anna Shafer and her son John W. Shafer.
*1865 census shows both families in one house.
*1950’s Everett Schoonmaker had a dairy farm and also had a grocery store in West Berne.
*1983 Jim and Maryellen Hamilton purchased this house. It was still a two family house.

The Shafer Family Burying Ground is north on Switzkill Road on the left side of the road on the bank of the Foxenkill.

During the War inhabitants fought on both sides of the conflict. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalist_(American_Revolution) Loyalists] who supported the British left and went to Canada. Those who stayed and fought the British expected that if they won, they would either be released from their tenancy, or at the least, be allowed to purchase the land at fair market value. Instead, the new government of New York decided to honor the lease contracts of the patroons, who contributed heavily to the politicians. This led to the [[Anti-Rent War]].

The Dietz Family Massacre

No. 6— "The Dietz Family Massacre"

Some 12 years before the Revolution, a few hardy families arrived in the pleasant, fertile valley watered by the Switz Kill, not far from its junction with the swifter flowing Foxen Kill. They had named the former after their native land, Switzerland; while other settlers from the Palatine districts of Schoharie had named the latter after one of their revered list-masters, William Fox. To the south was the small settlement at Rensselaerville, founded by the Scotch; to the north a still smaller group at the ancient Indian trapping grounds of Beaver Dam. Here also were a grist mill, and a little Dutch Reformed log meeting house and burying ground. Between these two settlements lay the homestead of Johannis Dietz. He, with his wife and small son, had arrived from the Rhineland some 50 years before, joining their fellow Palatines along the rich Schoharie flats. Now in his declining years, the elder Dietz and his wife had made their home with son William in the valley of the Switz Kill.

In 1769, William Dietz had disposed of his extensive acres along the Schoharie and had moved to this more challenging land of rich soil and virgin forests. No easy task had it been to clear the land for a homesite and cultivation. But in a few years the original log cabin had grown to a two-story structure and large addition with extra fireplace. The barns for cattle and crops had also increased in number and size. His family, besides his father and mother, now consisted of his wife, their four children, a Scotch servant girl, and a sturdy neighborhood boy named Bryce.

When the Revolution interrupted their peaceful existence and the time came for all to choose sides, there was no question about the Dietz family's sympathies. But if it was hard to be a patriot at Schoharie, it was doubly so in the Beaver Dam district. On all sides were strong supporters of the Crown. However, William Dietz at once offered his services to the Committee of Safety at Schoharie and was appointed captain of a company recruited on the Helderbergs. His home had been the rendezvous of Captain Jacob Van Aernam and his Normans Kill troops. Together their companies had dispersed a threatening band of Tories at Basic Creek and Onisquathau.

From time to time it had been his task to transport "disaffected persons" to the committee at Albany. Many of them never returned. His enemies among the relatives of those transferred to Connecticut prison camps constantly grew in numbers. Often he discussed his problems with his older brother, Johannis, a lieutenant in the same regiment, quartered at the Lower Fort at Schoharie, who warned him to keep a constant guard against reprisals. As the years passed and no harm developed, his worry over the safety of his family and property lessened. Now he believed the cause of liberty was in the final stage of its long, hard struggle, with victory just beyond the horizon.

The summer of 1781 had been good for man and beast. The Dietz "barracks" were bulging with hay and grain, their cattle fat and their horses sleek. Then in early September a party of 15 Tories and Indians proceeded by a circuitous route south of the Schoharie settlements with the sole intention to capture the patriot leader and des his family. Let us now continue the story as given by that eminent historian, Jeptha Simms of Schoharie, written only 50 years after the event.

"The enemy arrived at Dietz's just before night and surprised and killed all the family, except Capt. Dietz and young John Bryce, then 12 or 14 years old. Robert Bryce, a brother of John, 11 years old, had been sent on horseback that day to the mill at Beaver Dam with grist, in company with several other lads on the same errand. The grain was ground, but as it was nearly sundown they all concluded to tarry with the miller over night, except Bryce, who resolved to return as far as Dietz's, three miles toward home and stay with his brother. He arrived just at twilight near the house, when an Indian sprang from a covert by the roadside and seized his bridle reins. A short time before his arrival the family had been led out of the house to be murdered, agreeable to a savage custom perhaps that their mangled remains may terrify surviving friends; and as the horse with Robert still on him, was led near the house, the lad discovered the disfigured bodies of all the family, except Capt. Dietz and his own brother who were tied to a tree near by.

"The enemy, after plundering the dwelling of such articles as they desired, set it on fire and with the out-buildings it was soon reduced to ashes. Securing the scalps of the eight bleeding victims, or sixty-four dollars worth of American blood in an English market — after placing their plunder on a number of horses belonging to the Dietzs, and that of young Bryce, on which the grist was retained for food — they started forward on their tedious journey to Canada. They traveled about two miles and encamped for the night, distant from the paternal house of the Bryce boys about a mile. Little did their parents dream of the fate and future prospects of their sons. By dawn of day next morning, the journey was resumed. The Indians desired to take the southern route to Niagara, and hoped to gain the sources of the Schoharie without molestation. Tidings of the untimely fate of this family were next day communicated to the Schoharie forts, and a body of troops was dispatched by Col. Peter Vroman in pursuit.

"Lieut. Johannis Dietz, brother of Capt. Dietz, who was sent from the Lower (Old Stone) Fort with a party to bury the dead, met them in a wagon owned by a neighbor. The bodies had been mutilated by hogs and presented a most revolting appearance. They were all deposited in one grave, in a yard attached to a small Reformed Dutch church, then standing not far distant from the place of massacre. Suspecting the route the invaders would take, the Americans proceeded up the river, and towards night on the second day after the massacre, fell in with and fired upon them near the headwaters of the Schoharie. Several of the Indians were wounded, but they all effected their escape with their prisoners. They, however, abandoned their horses and plunder at the outset, which were restored to the surviving relatives of the family. The Indian who claimed ownership to the person of Robert Bryce was badly wounded in one leg by the fire of the Schoharie troops, and being unable to keep up with the party, journeyed with his prisoner and two of his partisans at a much slower pace. On arriving at the Indian settlements in western New York, Robert was initiated into the cruel mysteries of gauntlet- running, which nearly cost his life. He was taken to Nine Mile Landing on Lake Ontario, sold to a Scotch- man, who was the captain of a sloop, for fifteen dollars; was removed to Detroit, from whence he was liberated and returned home after the proclamation of peace, in company with his brother and several hundred prisoners liberated at the same time.

"The treatment of Capt. Dietz and the elder Bryce was more severe than that of Robert. Their party was greatly straitened for food on the way, and for several days lived on wintergreen, birch bark, and pos sibly a few esculent roots and wild berries. On the Susquehanna river near the mouth of the Unadilla, a deer was shot, which providentially saved them from starvation. Their progress at this period was very slow, as they were compelled daily to spend much of their time in hunting food. They journeyed through the Chemung and Genesee valleys, and at villages the prisoners were compelled to endure the running ordeal. Added to the stripes of his foes and the gnawings of hunger, Capt. Dietz suffered the most severe mental agony. He was not only doomed to see the bloodstained scalps of his honored parents, his bosom companion and four lovely children stretched in hoops to tan in the sun, as was the custom, but often to have them slapped in his face by the Indian who bore them, in the most insulting manner.

"George Warner, Cobleskill, who was captured the same season, informed the writer that he saw Capt. Dietz in his confinement at Niagara and conversed with him. The latter appeared heart stricken and in a decline, under which he sunk to the grave not long after. He told Warner where a certain amount of money had been concealed near the dwelling, which Warner claimed was later recovered."

One of the most horrifying incidents in the Revolution, the "Dietz Family Massacre" aroused this entire section in an all-out effort to free itself from the Tory threat and scalping knife. Not for two years, however, would total peace reign in the Helderberg region and the valley of the Switz Kill.

One hundred and fifty-four years later on June 5, 1927, the Tawasentha Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the state of New York dedicated a monument to mark the spot where the members of one entire family gave their lives for upholding the patriot cause and the establishment of all we enjoy today.

Securing the scalps of the eight bleeding victims, or sixty-four dollars worth of American blood in an English market — after placing their plunder on a number of horses belonging to the Dietzs, and that of young Bryce, on which the grist was retained for food — they started forward on their tedious journey to Canada. They traveled about two miles and encamped for the night, distant from the paternal house of the Bryce boys about a mile. Little did their parents dream of the fate and future prospects of their sons. By dawn of day next morning, the journey was resumed. The Indians desired to take the southern route to Niagara, and hoped to gain the sources of the Schoharie without molestation. Tidings of the untimely fate of this family were next day communicated to the Schoharie forts, and a body of troops was dispatched by Col. Peter Vroman in pursuit.

"Lieut. Johannis Dietz, brother of Capt. Dietz, who was sent from the Lower (Old Stone) Fort with a party to bury the dead, met them in a wagon owned by a neighbor. The bodies had been mutilated by hogs and presented a most revolting appearance. They were all deposited in one grave, in a yard attached to a small Reformed Dutch church, then standing not far distant from the place of massacre. Suspecting the route the invaders would take, the Americans proceeded up the river, and towards night on the second day after the massacre, fell in with and fired upon them near the headwaters of the Schoharie. Several of the Indians were wounded, but they all effected their escape with their prisoners. They, however, abandoned their horses and plunder at the outset, which were restored to the surviving relatives of the family. The Indian who claimed ownership to the person of Robert Bryce was badly wounded in one leg by the fire of the Schoharie troops, and being unable to keep up with the party, journeyed with his prisoner and two of his partisans at a much slower pace. On arriving at the Indian settlements in western New York, Robert was initiated into the cruel mysteries of gauntlet- running, which nearly cost his life. He was taken to Nine Mile Landing on Lake Ontario, sold to a Scotch- man, who was the captain of a sloop, for fifteen dollars; was removed to Detroit, from whence he was liberated and returned home after the proclamation of peace, in company with his brother and several hundred prisoners liberated at the same time.

"The treatment of Capt. Dietz and the elder Bryce was more severe than that of Robert. Their party was greatly straitened for food on the way, and for several days lived on wintergreen, birch bark, and pos sibly a few esculent roots and wild berries. On the Susquehanna river near the mouth of the Unadilla, a deer was shot, which providentially saved them from starvation. Their progress at this period was very slow, as they were compelled daily to spend much of their time in hunting food. They journeyed through the Chemung and Genesee valleys, and at villages the prisoners were compelled to endure the running ordeal. Added to the stripes of his foes and the gnawings of hunger, Capt. Dietz suffered the most severe mental agony. He was not only doomed to see the bloodstained scalps of his honored parents, his bosom companion and four lovely children stretched in hoops to tan in the sun, as was the custom, but often to have them slapped in his face by the Indian who bore them, in the most insulting manner.

"George Warner, Cobleskill, who was captured the same season, informed the writer that he saw Capt. Dietz in his confinement at Niagara and conversed with him. The latter appeared heart stricken and in a decline, under which he sunk to the grave not long after. He told Warner where a certain amount of money had been concealed near the dwelling, which Warner claimed was later recovered."

One of the most horrifying incidents in the Revolution, the "Dietz Family Massacre" aroused this entire section in an all-out effort to free itself from the Tory threat and scalping knife. Not for two years, however, would total peace reign in the Helderberg region and the valley of the Switz Kill.

One hundred and fifty-four years later on June 5, 1927, the Tawasentha Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the state of New York dedicated a monument to mark the spot where the members of one entire family gave their lives for upholding the patriot cause and the establishment of all we enjoy today.

*[[The Dietz Family Massacre]] - Tales of Old Helderbergh by A. B. Gregg, Historian, Town of Guilderland - 1965

During the Revolutionary War, the Beaver Dam saw little action. The major threat would have been from the west where the British and their Indian allies repeatedly attacked the communities along the Mohawk Valley. The Schoharie Valley, even though protected by three forts and a large militia, still suffered from repeated attacks by the British and massacres by the Indians. Adam Chrysler, of Schoharie, who because of his British sympathies had been forced to flee at the start of the Revolution, led a number of the Indian massacres against his former neighbors.

The only incident of note that occurred in Beaver Dam during the Revolution was the massacre of the family of Capt. William Deitz. Unfortunately, the Switzkill stockade was constructed leaving four farms beyond its protection, one of which was the farmstead of Johannes Dietz, father of Capt. William Dietz. Capt. Dietz, along with his wife and four small children, lived on his parent’s farm in the upper reaches of the Switzkill Valley.
The reason for choosing the Dietz family as the target for the massacre is obvious; it was to terrorize the local populace. If the family of the captain of the local militia was not safe, no one was safe.

In the late afternoon of 1 September 1781 the Dietz farm was attacked by Indians led by a British soldier. Capt. Dietz was taken captive, and in front of his eyes his elderly parents were massacred and scalped, as was his wife and children, along with a Scottish servant girl.

At the Dietz farm that fateful day was a hired hand, John Brice, a young Scottish lad of about 13 or 14 whose folks had settled several miles to the south near what is now the hamlet of Rensselaerville. To make matters worse, his 11-year-old brother, Robert, who had been sent to the Weid-man mill at the falls in Beaver Dam that morning to have some grist ground into flour, stopped at the Dietz farm on his way home to spend the night with his brother.
The raid resulted in two letters notifying Governor George Clinton. On 3 September Hugh Mitchell, son of Major Andrew Mitchell, wrote: ''"I just now rec'd. Information by a party who had been to the Helbergh, (what is now the Town of Knox), on a Scout, that one Captain Teets who lived at the Beaver Dam was taken prisoner last Saturday night by a party of the Enemy consisting of about twelve or fifteen men mostly Indians. The rest of Captain Teets family consisting of his old Father and seven other persons were most inhumanly Murdered, and his house and barn burnt.''

On 7 September General John Taylor wrote Clinton: ''"A Party of the Enemy Consisting of fifteen Tories & In-dians, murdered Capt. Dietz's Father & Mother, his wife & four children with one Scotch Girl & took himself off after having Exhibited to his View this horrid Scene; the house and Barn was Burnt. They were pursued & overtaken at Breakabeen, but permitted to escape.''

The Indians took the Brice boys and Captain Dietz to western New York, where Dietz was confined at Fort Nia-gara, which was under the command of the British. George Warner, who had been captured in Schoharie earlier that summer, reported seeing and conversing with Captain Dietz at Niagara. Warner said that Dietz ''“appeared heart-stricken and in a decline, under which he sunk to the grave not long after.”'' (Many early accounts of the Schoharie raid in which George Warner Jr. was captured say the date was 26 July 1782. This is based on an error in Simms’ History of Schoharie County. Mark Sullivan, writing in the Schoharie County Historical Review in the spring of 1983, presented credible evidence, including contemporary news accounts, that the raid was actually 26 July 1781.)

Josiah Priest gives a riveting description of the massacre in his Stories of the Revolution published in 1836. It was based on an interview with Robert Brice, who had been sold by his Indian captors to the captain of a sloop on Lake Erie. (This account is posted on the Internet on the [http://www.bernehistory.org/ Berne Historical Project] site, www.Bernehistory.org)

There is also an account of the massacre by Simms in his 1845 History of Schoharie. It is accurate except for the date, but not nearly as compelling reading as the account by Priest.
[[File:Massacre(desktop).jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>steel engraving frontispiece from ''"Stories of the Revolution,"'' by Josiah Priest; first published 1836. Engraving was made from a painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johanness which is now in the GOHS museum</center>]]
This steel engraving is the frontispiece from Stories of the Revolution. It was based on a painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johannes. In the lower left foreground the fourth figure from the left is Capt. William Dietz, hands bound behind him, looking back at the horrible scene of the scalped bodies of his murdered family. Next to him are the boys Robert and John Brice. To the right of center, in front of the burning barn, is the body of William’s father, Johannes Dietz. In the center are the figures of Johannes’ wife, Maria, plus the wife of Capt. Dietz and the servant girl who was working there. To the left of the women are the four murdered and scalped children of Capt. Dietz, all under the age of ten, one of which was a babe in arms. It is difficult to make out, but the second figure from the left is that of an Indian holding a long pole in the air to which are tied the scalps of the eight victims. [[File:Massacre GOHS.jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johannes Courtesy of the Greater Oneonta Historical Society</center>]]

When the massacre was discovered the following day, Lt. Johan Jost Dietz, (a nephew of Johannes,) stationed at the Lower Fort in Schoharie, was notified and came to bury the dead. Various histories state that the massacred family was buried in a mass grave in line with the fence alongside the Reformed church. In 1781 this would have been the log church which appears on the 1787 Cockburn survey map to have been located on the bank of Fox Creek rather than on the knoll where the framed Reformed church building was constructed in 1786. (Based on the dates, the survey of the church lot seems to have been made in 1786 prior to the construction of the framed church consecrated in September 1786. If that is correct, the burial of the Dietz family would have been near the old log church.)

Other massacres in Schoharie the same year suggest the attacks were aimed at members of the Committee of Safety, presumably to frighten the populace. (Simms, in his History of Schoharie, says that on the morning of 26 July 1782, [actually 1781,] the Tory captain Adam Chrysler, his brother William, and Peter Eckert, all formerly from Schoharie, led a raid that targeted Jacob Zimmer, Johannes Becker, and George Warner. Donhardt, in Indian Ladder, points out that the members of the families that were massacred that year, Zimmer, Warner, and Becker in Schoharie, and Dietz in Beaver Dam, were all members of the Committee of Safety. That is not quite correct in that Donhardt assumed that the William Dietz, Esq. of Schoharie, who was on the Schoharie Committee of Safety, was the same person as Capt. William Dietz of Beaver Dam whose family was massacred. Actually William Dietz, Esq. of Schoharie was the uncle of Capt. William Dietz of Beaver Dam.

It is significant that the individual who was the focus of the two reports of the massacre to Governor Clinton was Captain Dietz; his father, Johannes, was not even men-tioned by name. (An early DAR application of a Dietz descendant said that Johannes “was a member of the Commit-tee of Safety of Beaver Dam.” Since members of the Committees of Safety were the community leaders and in charge of supplying and directing the local militia, if Johannes had been a Committee member he would have been mentioned first in the reports to the governor. Actually, Beaver Dam was too small to have its own Committee of Safety; and his name is not on any published lists of mem-bers of the Committees in Albany and vicinity.)

The focus of the attack was clearly Capt. William Dietz, not his father. As a captain of the local militia he was one of the most important persons in Beaver Dam. The British plan was to terrorize the community by showing that if the family of Captain William was not safe, no one was safe. The Dietz family was especially vulnerable since their home was on the edge of the settled area, the first one that Indians would come to over West Mountain from the south-west. Although a fort or stockade had been built in the Switzkill Valley on the farm of Adam Dietz, it was a mile or more to the north, near the south edge of the most concentrated settlement. The farms of Johannes Dietz and George Ball were beyond the stockade to the south.

In 1926 the Tawasentha Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument on Switzkill Road near the massacre site dedicated to the family of Johannes Dietz who were killed. (It would have been more appropriate for the DAR memorial to have been dedicated to Capt. William Dietz since he was the focus of the attack and it was his entire family (parents, wife, and children) who were massacred [HHM].

----
There was some dread of Indians among the early settlers and events showed that the fear was not unfounded. Two lads, sons of Mr. Brice, who lived in the northern part of the town, were taken prisoners by the Indians about the time of the massacre of the Deitz family in Berne. They had set out to go to Berne, when they were seized, marched back- by the Basic path in sight of their father's house, and carried away and kept prisoners by the Indians for many years. These Indians, under Brant at this time, came down past the site of Preston Hollow and camped on the site of Cooksburg, and thence passed on over the hills to Blenheim and thence to Schoharie. They were followed by armed men, who, however, were unable to overtake them.

Dietz Massacre

2013-07-25T01:24:38Z

JElberfeld: JElberfeld moved page Dietz massacre to Dietz Massacre

During the Revolutionary War, the Beaver Dam saw little action. The major threat would have been from the west where the British and their Indian allies repeatedly attacked the communities along the Mohawk Valley. The Schoharie Valley, even though protected by three forts and a large militia, still suffered from repeated attacks by the British and massacres by the Indians. Adam Chrysler, of Schoharie, who because of his British sympathies had been forced to flee at the start of the Revolution, led a number of the Indian massacres against his former neighbors.

The only incident of note that occurred in Beaver Dam during the Revolution was the massacre of the family of Capt. William Deitz. Unfortunately, the Switzkill stockade was constructed leaving four farms beyond its protection, one of which was the farmstead of Johannes Dietz, father of Capt. William Dietz. Capt. Dietz, along with his wife and four small children, lived on his parent’s farm in the upper reaches of the Switzkill Valley.
The reason for choosing the Dietz family as the target for the massacre is obvious; it was to terrorize the local populace. If the family of the captain of the local militia was not safe, no one was safe.

In the late afternoon of 1 September 1781 the Dietz farm was attacked by Indians led by a British soldier. Capt. Dietz was taken captive, and in front of his eyes his elderly parents were massacred and scalped, as was his wife and children, along with a Scottish servant girl.

At the Dietz farm that fateful day was a hired hand, John Brice, a young Scottish lad of about 13 or 14 whose folks had settled several miles to the south near what is now the hamlet of Rensselaerville. To make matters worse, his 11-year-old brother, Robert, who had been sent to the Weid-man mill at the falls in Beaver Dam that morning to have some grist ground into flour, stopped at the Dietz farm on his way home to spend the night with his brother.
The raid resulted in two letters notifying Governor George Clinton. On 3 September Hugh Mitchell, son of Major Andrew Mitchell, wrote: ''"I just now rec'd. Information by a party who had been to the Helbergh, (what is now the Town of Knox), on a Scout, that one Captain Teets who lived at the Beaver Dam was taken prisoner last Saturday night by a party of the Enemy consisting of about twelve or fifteen men mostly Indians. The rest of Captain Teets family consisting of his old Father and seven other persons were most inhumanly Murdered, and his house and barn burnt.''

On 7 September General John Taylor wrote Clinton: ''"A Party of the Enemy Consisting of fifteen Tories & In-dians, murdered Capt. Dietz's Father & Mother, his wife & four children with one Scotch Girl & took himself off after having Exhibited to his View this horrid Scene; the house and Barn was Burnt. They were pursued & overtaken at Breakabeen, but permitted to escape.''

The Indians took the Brice boys and Captain Dietz to western New York, where Dietz was confined at Fort Nia-gara, which was under the command of the British. George Warner, who had been captured in Schoharie earlier that summer, reported seeing and conversing with Captain Dietz at Niagara. Warner said that Dietz ''“appeared heart-stricken and in a decline, under which he sunk to the grave not long after.”'' (Many early accounts of the Schoharie raid in which George Warner Jr. was captured say the date was 26 July 1782. This is based on an error in Simms’ History of Schoharie County. Mark Sullivan, writing in the Schoharie County Historical Review in the spring of 1983, presented credible evidence, including contemporary news accounts, that the raid was actually 26 July 1781.)

Josiah Priest gives a riveting description of the massacre in his Stories of the Revolution published in 1836. It was based on an interview with Robert Brice, who had been sold by his Indian captors to the captain of a sloop on Lake Erie. (This account is posted on the Internet on the [http://www.bernehistory.org/ Berne Historical Project] site, www.Bernehistory.org)

There is also an account of the massacre by Simms in his 1845 History of Schoharie. It is accurate except for the date, but not nearly as compelling reading as the account by Priest.
[[File:Massacre(desktop).jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>steel engraving frontispiece from ''"Stories of the Revolution,"'' by Josiah Priest; first published 1836. Engraving was made from a painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johanness which is now in the GOHS museum</center>]]
This steel engraving is the frontispiece from Stories of the Revolution. It was based on a painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johannes. In the lower left foreground the fourth figure from the left is Capt. William Dietz, hands bound behind him, looking back at the horrible scene of the scalped bodies of his murdered family. Next to him are the boys Robert and John Brice. To the right of center, in front of the burning barn, is the body of William’s father, Johannes Dietz. In the center are the figures of Johannes’ wife, Maria, plus the wife of Capt. Dietz and the servant girl who was working there. To the left of the women are the four murdered and scalped children of Capt. Dietz, all under the age of ten, one of which was a babe in arms. It is difficult to make out, but the second figure from the left is that of an Indian holding a long pole in the air to which are tied the scalps of the eight victims. [[File:Massacre GOHS.jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>painting by Jacob Dietz, son of Johannes Courtesy of the Greater Oneonta Historical Society</center>]]

When the massacre was discovered the following day, Lt. Johan Jost Dietz, (a nephew of Johannes,) stationed at the Lower Fort in Schoharie, was notified and came to bury the dead. Various histories state that the massacred family was buried in a mass grave in line with the fence alongside the Reformed church. In 1781 this would have been the log church which appears on the 1787 Cockburn survey map to have been located on the bank of Fox Creek rather than on the knoll where the framed Reformed church building was constructed in 1786. (Based on the dates, the survey of the church lot seems to have been made in 1786 prior to the construction of the framed church consecrated in September 1786. If that is correct, the burial of the Dietz family would have been near the old log church.)

Other massacres in Schoharie the same year suggest the attacks were aimed at members of the Committee of Safety, presumably to frighten the populace. (Simms, in his History of Schoharie, says that on the morning of 26 July 1782, [actually 1781,] the Tory captain Adam Chrysler, his brother William, and Peter Eckert, all formerly from Schoharie, led a raid that targeted Jacob Zimmer, Johannes Becker, and George Warner. Donhardt, in Indian Ladder, points out that the members of the families that were massacred that year, Zimmer, Warner, and Becker in Schoharie, and Dietz in Beaver Dam, were all members of the Committee of Safety. That is not quite correct in that Donhardt assumed that the William Dietz, Esq. of Schoharie, who was on the Schoharie Committee of Safety, was the same person as Capt. William Dietz of Beaver Dam whose family was massacred. Actually William Dietz, Esq. of Schoharie was the uncle of Capt. William Dietz of Beaver Dam.

It is significant that the individual who was the focus of the two reports of the massacre to Governor Clinton was Captain Dietz; his father, Johannes, was not even men-tioned by name. (An early DAR application of a Dietz descendant said that Johannes “was a member of the Commit-tee of Safety of Beaver Dam.” Since members of the Committees of Safety were the community leaders and in charge of supplying and directing the local militia, if Johannes had been a Committee member he would have been mentioned first in the reports to the governor. Actually, Beaver Dam was too small to have its own Committee of Safety; and his name is not on any published lists of mem-bers of the Committees in Albany and vicinity.)

The focus of the attack was clearly Capt. William Dietz, not his father. As a captain of the local militia he was one of the most important persons in Beaver Dam. The British plan was to terrorize the community by showing that if the family of Captain William was not safe, no one was safe. The Dietz family was especially vulnerable since their home was on the edge of the settled area, the first one that Indians would come to over West Mountain from the south-west. Although a fort or stockade had been built in the Switzkill Valley on the farm of Adam Dietz, it was a mile or more to the north, near the south edge of the most concentrated settlement. The farms of Johannes Dietz and George Ball were beyond the stockade to the south.

In 1926 the Tawasentha Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument on Switzkill Road near the massacre site dedicated to the family of Johannes Dietz who were killed. (It would have been more appropriate for the DAR memorial to have been dedicated to Capt. William Dietz since he was the focus of the attack and it was his entire family (parents, wife, and children) who were massacred [HHM].

----
There was some dread of Indians among the early settlers and events showed that the fear was not unfounded. Two lads, sons of Mr. Brice, who lived in the northern part of the town, were taken prisoners by the Indians about the time of the massacre of the Deitz family in Berne. They had set out to go to Berne, when they were seized, marched back- by the Basic path in sight of their father's house, and carried away and kept prisoners by the Indians for many years. These Indians, under Brant at this time, came down past the site of Preston Hollow and camped on the site of Cooksburg, and thence passed on over the hills to Blenheim and thence to Schoharie. They were followed by armed men, who, however, were unable to overtake them.

CEMETERY SEARCH

Does anyone living on Filkins Hill Road or Joslin School Road know of the location of a Wagoner Family Cemetery in that area? We know of the following people buried there from Town Records:

—Edward Wagoner, husband of Ida Stevens, died May 5,1950.

—A baby, Edward E., died March 15, 1925, son of William S. Wagoner and Clarissa Miller.

—Susan Mcintosh Wagoner, wife of William, died Feb. 24,1906.

—Probably William, her husband, who died Feb. 9,1903.

—Ida Wagoner, died June 30, 1957.

A family descendant would like to locate the cemetery. Call Town Historian Retha Stapleton, 872 - 1843.

To genealogists, cemeteries contain some of the most valuable and personal information available about ancestors. Unfortunately the earliest burial places of Beaver Dam settlers will never be known. The early settlers were farmers; family members were buried in a family burying ground set aside on the farm where they lived and died. This was for practical reasons: bodies were not easy to transport, funerals were performed by family members with burials taking place the same day as the death or the next, and families wanted their departed loved ones to be close at hand so that the grave site could be easily visited.

Because children of families married the children of neighbors, some family burying grounds became multiple family burying grounds, used by several adjoining, intermarried families.

Knolls were favored for family burial grounds if available. The graves were marked with simple field stones. Sometimes the family scratched the person’s initials into the stone and maybe a date.

It was many decades before formal community cemeteries were established that served as burial grounds for multiple families.
After community cemeteries were established many family burial grounds were no longer used. A generation or two later the burial grounds were no longer cared for. Abandoned, the grounds became overgrown with brush and trees. Stones fell over or were broken by fallen limbs and became covered with leaves. In a few years they became lost, perhaps forever.

There are almost five dozen known family burying grounds in the Town of Berne and undoubtedly many more that will never be located. These family burying grounds are discussed in the section on each family with which they are associated. The [http://www.bernehistory.org/ Berne Historical Project] site has listing of all known cemeteries and burying grounds in the town of Berne.

==From [[Our Heritage]]==
'''The story of Civil War soldiers from Berne and the War's impact on the community is told in the book, ''Our Heritage'', the history of the town of Berne. In a section titled, ''"Berne Serves In the Civil War"'', [[Euretha Wolford]] Stapleton, historian for the town of [[Berne]], writes the following:'''

''According to the records the town of Berne had as least 77<ref>the number is closer to 177</ref> men who volunteered in the War Between the States. Many of them were just farm boys, who, caught up in the wave of enthusiasm, had enlisted to save the union and to end slavery. The first enlistments were for only three months. It was three years before many who survived battles, swamps, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libby_Prison| Libby] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andersonville_National_Historic_Site| Andersonville], returned to Berne. Some had lost an arm or leg; others had their health broken by disease. Very few Berne men saw action in the early campaigns. The majority fought in [http://www.crt.louisiana.gov/tourism/civilwar/civilwar.htm| Louisiana] and in the [http://www.nps.gov/rich/| final battles near Richmond].

''We have recorded a few stories of those who died:

''[[Bio:Joel Wilson|Joel Wilson]]., born in Berne in 1842, joined the [http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/infantry/177thInf/177thInfMain.htm| 177th New York Regiment] in 1862 and was sent to Louisiana, he died there of typhus fever and his body returned to Berne. Among those who mourned was his fiance, [[Ann West]]. Joel was buried in the [http://www.bernehistory.org/cemDetail.asp?ID=4| Methodist Cemetery] on West Mountain, a location which adjoined the Wilson farm.

''[[Bio:Jesse D. Wood|Jesse D. Wood]]., born in Berne in 1846, joined the Union Army at the age of 16 in the [http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/infantry/10thInf/10thInfMain.htm| 10th New York Regiment] and was also sent to Louisiana. He died at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Port_Hudson| Port Hudson] on August 13, 1863 at the age of 17. His grave in the [http://www.bernehistory.org/cemDetail.asp?ID=49| family plot] just outside of Berne is marked by a [http://www.bernehistory.org/headstoneDetail.asp?ID=985| stone] topped by a small replica of a Union soldier's hat.

''Another young volunteer was Corporal [[Bio:Alonzo Grove Ludden|Alonzo Grove Ludden]]., son of [[Bio:Alonzo Payson Ludden|Alonzo Payson Ludden]]. Rev. A. Ludden , pastor of the [[St. Paul's Lutheran Church| Lutheran Church]] of Berne. In 1864, at age 16, Alonzo joined the [http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/infantry/177thInf/177thInfMain.htm| 177th Regiment] and contracted disease in the expedition against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Port_Hudson| Port Hudson], La. Sent home, he never regained his health and died February 16, 1865.

''Of the soldiers who survived the war, [[Bio:William M. Blade|William M. Blade]]. of Berne managed to live through imprisonment at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andersonville_National_Historic_Site| Andersonville]. It was said that while in prison, he saw another Berne boy, [[Bio:Nathaniel Wright|Nathaniel Wright]]., starve to death. Mr. Blade weighed only 75 pounds when released, and was unable to walk for some time.

''[[Bio:Zadock B. West|Zadock B. West| Zade West]].of [[South Berne]] became a surveyor for the Union Army. He helped map bridges, road, and areas of attack. Wounded in the left leg, he returned to South Berne, lived to be 96, and died in 1920.

''[[Bio:Azor T. Hayes|Azor T. Hayes]], born in Berne in 1843, was the son of a widow and had several brothers and sisters. His mother did not want him to enlist, but at age 19, he left with many others. In 1866, after the war was over, Azor reenlisted and was killed about a year later. There is no record of the details of his death or place of burial.

''[[Bio:Andrew Willsey|Andrew Willsey]] and [[Bio:Irene Doty|Irene Doty]] sent at least 3 of their nine children to the Civil War; [[Bio:Elias Willsey|Elias Willsey]], [[Bio:Stephen H. Willsey|Stephen H. Willsey]], and [[Bio:Abraham T. Willsey| Abraham T. Willsey]]. All of them survived and the Willsey family is fortunate to have a collection of letters which the young men wrote while at war.

''Among other Berne boys who were killed were [[Bio:John Jost Bogardus|John Jost Bogardus]], at [http://americancivilwar.com/statepic/va/va122.html| Cedar Creek] in 1864 and [[Bio:William A. Post|William A. Post]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cold_Harbor| [[Cold Harbor]]] in 1864, age 22.

''These young men of Berne, who played a role in the most bloody war of American history, went off with a fervor unmatched in recent times. Each year, small flags honor their resting places on Memorial Day.

==Regiments in which men from Berne served==
===7th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery===
There were at least 35 men from Berne who served in the 7th Regiment. Some of the Regiments major battles were at [[Petersburg]], [[Cold Harbor]], [[Weldon Station]], [[Spotsyvania]]. Six of the men from Berne were killed in battle, or died shortly there after of their wounds. Nine were captured, six of whom died in prison of starvation or disease. One was missing in action. Eight were wounded, of which four were discharged for disability. Click here for more about the [[7th Regiment]] and a listing of the men from the Hilltowns who served in it.
==Diaries of George H. Warner==
The Civil War [[Diaries of George H. Warner]] from 1862 and 1863 are posted on the [[Berne Historical Project]] site. George was 17 when he went off to war. He returned home less than a year later and died September 28, 1863 from sickness he had contracted while serving in the Union Army in Louisiana. The following January his younger brother, Peter William Warner, lied about his age and joined the Union Army. Peter died November 1864 in Andersonville Prison at the age of 15.

==Letters of Carpenter N. Wright==
Also on the Internet are the [http://www.bpmlegal.com/76NY/76wrightcn.html| Civil War letters] that [[Carpenter N. Wright]] wrote to his father [[Albert Wright]]. In his last letter from a camp near Alexandria Virginia he wrote:

==BERNE MEN WHO JOINED THE UNION ARMY==
We are trying to collect information for a book on Hilltown men who were in the Civil War. The information is being posted here in their biographies in preparation for writing the book. While we have volunteers adding information little by little, it will still only be what information they can glean from public records. We are encouraging family researchers to post additional information on each of these men: photographs, obituaries, copies of letters home, pictures of headstones, memorabilia, etc. We hope to publish the book in 2011, the 150th anniversary of the start for the war.

===Biography===
We would like to start a biography for each of these people with the basic data about their military service and anything else you care to add under one or more of the following categories as appropriate:

*Photo
*Birth (date, place, parents)
*Education
*Military Service
*Marriage and Children
*Occupation
*Death (date and burial)
*Other Media (newspaper articles, service papers, obituary, etc.)
*Gallery (photos)

The [http://www.bernehistory.org/area_history/dietz_massacre.htm massacre of the Dietz family] in 1781 was the only Iroquois incursion in Beaver Dam during the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution American Revolution]. During the War inhabitants fought on both sides of the conflict. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalist_(American_Revolution) Loyalists] who supported the British left and went to Canada. Those who stayed and fought the British expected that if they won, they would either be released from their tenancy, or at the least, be allowed to purchase the land at fair market value. Instead, the new government of New York decided to honor the lease contracts of the patroons, who contributed heavily to the politicians. This led to the [[Anti-Rent War]].

We are attempting to make a list of all Berne area men who served in the military during the Revoltionary War. If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.
