    • He was one of a war party under Captain
      He was one of a war party under Captain John Schuyler which went to Canada, August 13, 1690, to fight the enemy and, after an engagement, returned August 30; was appointed with four others, April 6,1697, to take a census of Schenectady; was Deacon and Elder of the Schenectady Dutch Reformed Church for many years; was a sergeant of Captain Johannes Sanderse Glen's Foot Company; was one of the five Trustees of the second Schenectady Patent, granted November 6, 1714, and continued as such during the remainder of his life; was alive in 1743, aged 87 years. WBW The following is from a manuscript sent to David Wemple on September 28, 2000 by Michael Lee Wemple of Bay City, MI. This manuscript was written by William Barent Wemple, compiler of the first part of the Wemple genealogy from 1885-1913. The manuscript was never published. Barent Janse Wemp was born in the Colony of Rensselaerswyck in the year 1656. The proof of this being the son of Jan Barentsen Wemp and Maritie Mynderts, as well as the year of his birth, rest in document No. 23, Wemple Ancestry, which is the contract made by his mother on June 12, 1664, agreeing upon certain settlements of her husband's property with the guardians of her children, when she was about to enter into a marriage with Sweer Theunissen Van Westbroeck. This contract states that Barent was her off-spring by her husband Jan Barentsen Wemp. and that he was eight years of age in 1664. His place of residence was transferred to Schenectady in 1669, or thereabouts, when his step-father removed to the latter place. About 1683 he married Volkje Veeder, daughter of Symon Volkertse Veeder, of Schenectady. By some miraculous means, neither he nor any members of his family suffered death or capture at the time of the famous massacre of Schenectady, February 9, 1689/90, so far as the records show, but his mother and step-father were both killed and as the left considerable real and personal property, he appears as on their heirs in a division of the ir estate made February 26, 1689/90, having one third of their entire property settled upon him according to the terms of that contract (see document No. 41, Wemple Ancestry). This manner of settlement was never carried out, because the heirs of Van Velsen learned he had left the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady some of his property by will, but being unable to find the will and not knowing the terms thereof, yet not desiring that the Church should be a loser, they conveyed the corn-mill and a large plot of ground to the Chruch, April 15, 1696 (see document No. 43, Wemple Ancestry), and Barent is a party to the conveyance as one of the heirs. Upon the destruction of Schenectady in 11690. contributions were generously made to the suffers and the following appears in the CITY RECORDS on file in the Albany County Clerks office, Albany, NY: Albany, 28 March 1690. List of goods sent from York and received from Monsieur Jan Hendrickson Brujn and Johannes Proofoose to be distributed among the refugees of Schoonectede, to wit - 2348 1/2 Dutch ells of Osent: Linen, 3 ps Serge, 13 pairs stockings, 72 ills pennestout and delivered to the Deacons of Schoonectede and the Deacons of Albany, to wit: Barent Wimp, Jan Byvanck, Johannes De Wandelaer, Jacob Loockermanns, First distributed to the following 6 3/4 ells each of Sarge: Barent Wimp . . . List of Osenburg Linen: Barent Wimp, 70 ells . . . The above mentioned City Record also contain the information that Barent was appointed Captain of a Company at Schenectady, in Albany County, as follows: List of Albany Commissions by Lieutenant Governor Liester: December 1689 Barent Wemp, Captain. . . . Volume 36, page 142, subdivision 86 of COLONIAL MANUSCRIPTS in the State Library, Albany, NY shows that Barent Wemp was Captain of a Company of Foot, in Schenectady, on October 6, 1690, the commission having been issued by Governor Jacob Liester (see document No. 65). The following extracts are taken from the CITY RECORDS, above me ntioned, at various places as they occur under their respective dates. June 28, 1692. Bate Cloet (Chute), wife of J. Cloet at Canida, pltff. vs Sander Glen and Barent Wemp, executors Sweer Teunise, Deft.

(The defendants ask time). Att a Mayor's Court held in y'e Citty hall of Albany, y'e 6th of April, 1697. By the Court has ordered that orders shall be sent to Skennectedy to Sanders Glen, Adam Vrooman. Daniel Johnson, Isack Swits and Barent Wemps, shall take an account of all the people from 16 to 80 years of age, how many they were before the warr, and how many killed, and return the account to us in eight days, comprehending their servants and Negers. The inbabitants of Shinnechtady y't have taken y'e Oaths and signed y'e Test and Association of y'e 11th day of January, 1699, are as follows: . . . Barent Wemp . . . This last oath was the oath of allegiance to King William and he Christian religion and is contained in volume 4, at page 362. The original census of the inhabitants of Schenectady, which Barent and four others were ordered to take on April 6, 1671, was completed and transmitted June 16, 1697 and is preserved in volume 42, page 34 of COLONIAL MANUSCRIPTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, deposited in the State Library, Albany, and that portion relating to Barent as a return of his own family, is in the following form List of men of the Men, Women, and Children in the city & County of Albany, the 16th June, 1697, , , , Barent Wemp men, 1; women, 1; children, 5; negro, 1 In MUMSELL'S ANNALS, volume 2, page 235, is an account of an expedition against Canada, in which Barent participated and a portion if is here quoted: Journal of Captain John Schuyler who voluntarily embarked at Wood Creek on the 13th August 16990, with 29 Christians and 120 savages whom he recruited at Wood Creek as volunteers under his command to go to Canada to fight the enemy. Nearly about the swamps I met Captain Sanders Glen on his way to Albany, because the greatest number returned. The aforesaid Sanders had had in his company 28 whites and 5 savages and came from Tsinondrosie where Captain Sanders had been waiting 8 days for the whole corps. --- From these Captain John Schuyler enlisted 13 whites and 5 savages to continue with Captain Schuyler the voyage to Canida and there to fight their mutual enemy. When the rest of the company had left is and we had advanced nearly two hours on our voyage, we found 2 canoes which had been sent out to spy and which had shot an elk. --- After we had done eating and had supplied our canoes we proceeded on our way as far as Conaghsionie. ---- The 15th of August we had advanced as far as Kanondoro and resolved at that place to travel by night and have that night gone forward to near the spot where Amrosis Corlaer is drownd, and there one of our savages fell in convulsions, charmed and conjured by the devil, and said that a great battle had taken place at Quebeck and that much heavy cannon with savages had come down the river form Cadaraquie. And about an hour after sunrise we have gone to Oghraro, where I placed the first guard and nominated Barent Wemp as officer of the guard. The 17th in the evening we proceeded to Ogharonde. A Tsenondoga savage of our Company died there; he died of sickness; the Oneida savages gave a wampum belt for the atonement of the dead. That day Capt. Schuyler with his subaltern officers and the Chief of the savages resolved where they should make their attack upon the enemy, and they determined by the majorities to fall upon fort La Prairie; whereupon the Mohawks gave a wampum belt to the Schaghkock savages as a token to stand by each other faithfully, and what they do call Pnroghaquasa In a Goera, The Oneida savages did the same to the Mohawk savages by some h andful of wampum, and in this manner this resolution was decidedly agreed upon and confirmed with shaking of hands as well by the Christians as by the savages and, moreover, approved by the savages as to whom should be their chiefs or headman, ---- Carristasio and Tehoesequatho and Juriaen the Ferocious. The 18th, set out in the evening, and about midnight we saw a light fall down from out the sky to the south, of which we were all perplexed what token this might be. The 19th on account of the strong wind we laid still because we could not proceed and were laying about 3 miles above the sandbank of Chambly. The 20th we sent out spies along the west side of the river Chambly and found there a drawing of a party from Canada and 14 palisades to which they had bound their prisoners whom they had fetched from New England. The 21st we proceeded to about one mile below the above mentioned sandbank of Chambly, when we again sent out spies, who discovered some places where French and savage spies had been keeping double night watch, and that the same had embarked for Chambly. Then, after having first placed our canoes and provisions in safety, The 22nd we pursued our journey by land and travelled that day close under La Prairie --- the road being very difficult on account of the softness of the clay, over which we had to travel, so that two of our Christians returned to our canoes. Coming through the clay we heard much firing of musketry, of which we were astonished what it might be. The 23rd in the morning I sent spies towards the fort to see how it was; returning said all the folks were leaving the fort of La Prairie to cut corn. --- Then we resolved in what manner we should hinder them to obtain the fort again, and agreed to do so by intercepting them on their way to the fort, but by eagerness of the young savages such was prevented, because Christians as well as savages fell on with a war cry which displeased the officer that they fell on without orders having been
