Frederick Mattice served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. Jacob Hager's Company, 15th N.Y. Albany Co. Militia. He was taken prisoner Jul 15, 1778 and was held in Canada until the close of the war. His wife, Gertrude had her share of fighting according to a report in The Mattice Family History (1709-1961) by Rex G. Mattice, Published by J. Gunt Stevenson, Provo Utah:
Gertrude killed three Indians in the last year of the Revolutionary Was. She was ironing one day, ewhen she noticed several Indians lurking around the house. She went to the door with a flat iron in her hand. She felled each Indian as he approached. Her aim was deadly. Two other Indians appeared, and upon seeing their companions killed, fled from the house, one of them, "White woman kill without gun". Gertrude then picked up her infant son and fled from the house for the Upper Fort. When she approached a creek nearby she felt faint and stopped to get a drink and bathe her face. When she bent over the water she saw her reflection and, noting blood, she then knew she had been wounded by an Indian's arrow which was protruding from her body. Her son William was born in the Fort two days later. William was the Father of Sabra Mattice Ouderkirk.
