Go to Military History
The Dietz Massacre<br.>courtesy of the Greater Oneonta Historical Society

General

The massacre of the Dietz family in 1781 was the only Iroquois incursion in Beaver Dam during the American Revolution. During the War inhabitants fought on both sides of the conflict. 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.

Organization of the 3rd Co, Beaverdam

(I {Glen Swartz, and no one has double checked my extract} standardize much of the formatting and spelling of the rank (but not the names), in this webpage {created by Harold Miller}, and it should be compared to the original source, has it is not a verbatim extract, and is subject to my errors of interpretation, further compounding any errors Fernow made. When in doubt, refer to the original sources)

Beaver Dam Men in the Revolution, Patriots

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.
