• Notes

  Annatie was very prominently recorded in Annatie was very prominently recorded in history in "Women of the Revolution" Vol III, pg. 328. In Spring 1780 Indian hostilities were increasing, murdering town inhabitants on war raids. while her settlement was relatively peaceful, the men were gone and towns people were terrified. She arranged for everyone to hide on an island in the river her husband owend, assuming the raiding Indians wouldn't bother to follow them there. She was right. As soon as they reached the isalns, the y heard the Indian war hoops and screams, burning the empty homes. The Indians did not burn the Van Alstyne home because the chief inferred "Sir John would not be pleased if that house was burned. Let the old wolf keep his den" The Van Alstynes gave shelter to all who lost their homes. Annatie later ministered to the Indians with Christianity, looking after their needs.
