I Margaret Wheeler now a resident of the Township of Madison in the County Lake and State of Ohio, make oath and say that I was born in the Town of Harpersfield in the County of Delaware and State of New York on the 12th day of June AD 1772. My fathers name Alexander Harper he was captain of a company of Rangers raised in that section of County for the protection of the frontier settlements, against the predatory attacks of the Indians and Tories during the war of the Revolution According to the best of my recollection the inhabitans of Harperfield were driven away from their homes in the month of July 1778 we left to avoid being massacre by the Tories, and after we had gone Capt Mc Donald with a party of Tories followed us about two miles from the Fort night overtook us and it became so dark that we were compelled to encamp, which we did near a small stream called West Kill Some time in the night then came on a severe thunder shower and raised the Water in the Stream on which we were encamped and obliged us to leave during the night our party had sent forward an express to the Middle Fort at Schoharie informing the officers in command then that our party was on their way to the fort, and were pursued by a party of Tories. A party of men were sent out to our assistance and after they had passed us about half a mile they met Capt Mc Donald and his party of about 150 Torys and a skirmish with
them. Our friends were compelled to retreat before Capt M Donald till they were reinforce. When they drove off M Donald and his party. and we reached the Fort safety.
My fathers family remained at the fort till the spring of 1782 When my Mother and children removed to New Lebanon. Myself and my oldest brother John A Harper were carried to
Cambridge Washington County New York by some of our friends, two or three months before. And after my Mother removed to New
Lebanon my brother and myself Jainin them-
My father was taken prisoner at Harpersfield on the 7th day of April 1780 by a party of Tories and Indians under Brandt. the following persons were taken prisoners with my father to wit Wm Lamb and his son William who was a boy of 12 or 13 years of age. a man of the name of Brown and his three sons John Henry Ezra Thorp. Freegift Patten and Isaac Patchen Jr and the following persons were killed by the enemy to wit Wm Stevens, Thomas Hendry and James Hendry. My Father was [Cassine?] captive to Canada where he remained till the 27th of November 1783 he was kept in irons about one year of that time as I have often heard my father say.
I was acquainted with Benjamin Bartholomew he was my mothers brother, he service in the Fort or with the Rangers during the war he was a member of the Company of Rangers of which my father was Captain on its first organization, he was in the battle at the Middle Fort when attacted by the united fores of Tories and
Page 26

Indians under Butter and Brandt in October 1781. I dont remember the day of the month on which that battle took place, but it has always been impressed on my mind that it was on the 28th day of that month. I Cannot say what rank Benjamin Bartholomew held in said Company but I have always had an impression that he was an Ensign. he might have been no more than a common soldier,
I was acquainted with said Benjamin Bartholomew until his death I was also acquainted with his wife whose name was Abigail & have lived in their family for some weeks together, they lived together as husband and wife, Some years after the death
of the said Benjamin Bartholomew the said Abigail Bartholomew widow the said Benjamin Bartholomew removed to the Township of
Harpersfield in the County of Ashtabula County Ohio where she resided until her death which happened in the month of
March 1839 as near as I can recollect
