Here are descriptions of the Scenectady Massacre for the interested historian. I am not certain what, if anything, is appropriate to add to his biography. The history and antiquities of New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania : embracing the following subjects, viz : discoveries and settlements - Indian history - Indian, French and revolutionary wars -religious history - biographical sketches - anecdotes, traditions, remarkable and unaccountable occurrences - with a great variety of curious and interesting relics of antiquity by Barber, John Warner, 1798-1885 pages 255-258 [1]

Profiles are supposed to focus on the history of the person's life, not the history of the world at the time they lived, except what is strongly relevant to their life. Contextual information about historical events that affected many of our ancestors can be included in free-space pages (also called Space pages, but the terms Space and Free-space have no significant outside of the technical nomenclature of the WikiTree database structure) that can be linked from (and to) the profiles of individual people who were involved. The Schenectady Massacre is a great example of an event that affected many people and is best discussed outside the context of one person's biography.

Categories are very helpful for associating people whose paths intersected in various ways, and typically we have a category before anyone gets around to creating a free-space page. WikiTree has a category for the Schenectady Massacre at Category:Schenectady Massacre. Profiles of people who were involved in or affected by the event (including those who died or were taken captive) can be included in the category. I added this man's profile to that category by putting a link on this profile. The category has a short description of the event with links to several information sources. We are not supposed to put extensive descriptive content into category descriptions, so the Schenectady Massacre is waiting for someone (maybe you?) to create a free-space page for it.

I am not certain that this question was picked up by G2G. I will post once again hoping for an explanation concerning the mentioned. Schuyler-18 is David Pierces Schuyler. Up to the son of Capt. David Piertse Schuyler, there are listed several individual that carry mtDNA. Could someone explain why that has not been brought forward another generation. Is it not done on WikiTree or is there an error in the descendancy? Thank-You. Judith

I don't see any mtDNA individuals listed for any of Schuyler-18's sons. Can you be more specific?

Mitochondrial DNA is transmitted from a mother to her her children. It does not come from a paternal line. The mtDNA data you see is for mtDNA associated with the line of Elsje (Rutgers) Vas.

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register,: Volume 51 1897, Volume 51 Page 337 Bible entry by Myndert Schuyler (1672-1755) states the following:

"Children born to my father Davit Schuyler and my mother Cathleyna Terhyeyrs* April 18, 1659 brother Pitter Schuyler. September 14, 1661 sister Gertruy. August 6, 1663 brother Abraham. September 9, 1666 sister Mareya. June 11, 1669 brother Davit. January 16, 1672 I, Myndert. January 4, 1675 brother Jacobus. January 14, 1678 sister Catteleyna at 5 o'clock A.M.

  • I do not know what this surname is. It may be Seehgers. Seegers, is, I understand, from a Hollander, a frequent today name in Holland whereas "Terhyers" is unknown..." See remainder of footnote.

No consistency in naming in the Amsterdam archives or elsewhere those days, and this family seems to be a very good example of it. Again a different variation of the patronymics and last names of his parents, so added all variations to the parents now , to prevent duplicates and confusion of course. :)
