All these new and foreign settlers, until they had churches of their own, brought their children either to Albany or Schenectady to be christened. Hence there will be found in this work many names of families then residing as far west as Caughnawaga and Canajoharie, south to the Helderberg and Schoharie, and north to Galway and Kayaderosseras patent ^[10].

The Town of Amsterdam

"An early town, whose history is tied in with present-day lower Fulton County, the Town of Amsterdam is to be distinguished from the City of Amsterdam, which wasn't incorporated until 1830. The directory of Amsterdam is divided into 3 files, reflecting the size and importance of the city 130 years ago. Browsing through the listings, and the long profile at the bottom of this page, you'll see that Amsterdam was a major commercial and industrial center, the county's "Big City", a magnet for immigrant labor as well as workers from surrounding town. It's streams provided water power for mills of all kinds; it's shops provided luxuries for the residents of small Mohawk Valley towns. Amsterdam is still beautiful, and it's well worth turning off the Thruway to admire its many remaining 19th century homes, and public, commercial and factory buildings." (quote from the Montgomery County, New York Genweb.)
