Our present accounting of the Furler family begins with Jacob Völler who was born around 1734 on Robert Livingston's estate on the west side of the Hudson River in Ulster County, New York. It is suggested that he was the son of Johann Phillip Veller and Catharina Elisabeth Rauch. His suggested birth family can be found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/voller.htm

Ulster County, New York
Ulster County is in the southeast part of New York State, south of Albany and bordered on the east by the Hudson River. It is nestled among the Catskill Mountains and contains some of the earliest European settlements in North America. The county was settled by the Dutch as early as 1614 as part of the New Netherlands settlement. A trading post was established at Rondout with a few families and was subsequently destroyed by First Nations Peoples. In the 1630s the trading post was re-established and again destroyed in 1655, but by the 1660s a stable settlement pattern was emerging. The Dutch were followed in 1663 by a settlement of French Huguenots. In 1683 Ulster County was organized as a county by the English as one of the original 12 counties of the British colony of New York. For the following 9 decades Ulster County saw steady immigration and development until the outbreak of the American Revolution. The various battles of the American Revolution destroyed many of the frontier settlements and the larger towns were all captured by the English. In 1777 many of the towns, including Kingston, were pillaged and burned.
Two local towns become significant for the purposes of our Furler family history: Marbletown and Kingston.
Marbletown
Marbletown is located in the central part of the county and was one of the original five English townships in 1683. Old soldiers of the Indian wars and veterans of the English Army who came in 1664 received grants there from the government in 1670 and settled in a village at what is now called North Marbletown, but soon scattered and took up the outlying land for farms, which in some cases they purchased from the local First Nations Peoples. The town lands, covering the area of many of these purchases, were granted by Queen Anne to the town trustees on June 25,1703, and were re-conveyed by them to settlers. It has always been an excellent farming country. Civil government was established by 1703. Marbletown is the location of First Dutch Reformed Church where some of our early Furler baptisms can be found.
Kingston
Kingston, as it is known today, was originally called Wiltwyck (Dutch for "wild woods"), It was an early Dutch walled settlement which, when taken over by the English, became the early colonial capital and home of the county courthouse from 1684 onwards. Kingston was chartered as a town in 1667 and local government was in the hands of twelve trustees, five of whom formed the court, which continued until the early 19th century. Kingston survived the Indian Wars of the mid-18th century, and it was after this period that more aggressive colonial settlement began. With the First Nations Peoples "pacified" it became "safe" for white settlers to venture beyond the early walled villages and forts. Kingston became a major crossroads on travel routes between Boston, Philadelphia and Albany. Kingston had its share of wealthy land owners including the Livingston family. These landlords did not live quite as lavishly as their Southern counterparts, but they still owned slaves and lived with an air of aristocracy. In 1872, the two villages of Rondout and Kingston were combined together to form the present-day city of Kingston.
Very little is known of Jacob Völler except that he was a tenant farmer on the estate of the Livingston family mentioned above. Jacob's birth year is uncertain, but it appears that he was very young when he had his first son. His full family is detailed below, but his eldest two sons become significant for our narrative: Jacob and Cornelius Völler, born 1750 and 1753, respectively, in Ulster County, New York. Their baptisms are registered in Kingston, but they were probably baptized by an itinerant minister. It appears that their actual residence and place of birth was near Shandaken or Shokan on the north shore of what is today the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskill State Park, about 10 km west of Kingston.
Jacob and Cornelius continued as tenant farmers, just as their father had, also on the estate of Robert Livingston, until the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1776.

Pvt. Jacob Völler FURLER , U.E. b: 1750 in Ulster County, New York Colony, British North America. Jacob and Cornelius Furler grew up in Ulster County, New York. They appear to have been tenant farmers on the property of Robert Livingston. During the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1776 they were recruited by Captain Peter TenBroek to serve with Col. Butler's Rangers. In 1777 they were captured by the Americans in New Paltz, New York and tried at Fort Montgomery. (Trial documents in 1777 record Jacob and Cornelius Furler as "tenants for life" living on the land of Robert Livingston.) They were convicted of treason and sentenced to hang. They managed to convince the court that they were young and naive and had been seduced by British offers of free land for their service. For some reason the court was lenient and dismissed their sentence. Having been freed, it appears they went straight back into service in Butler's Rangers.
After the war, in 1783 they were released from service in the Niagara area of southern Ontario, where they were permitted to apply for land grants from the British Crown. Records show they did not apply for their grants until 1798. During those intervening years they returned to the area of Woodstock in Ulster County, New York, where they are found in the 1790 census.

On 30 May 1798 Jacob and Cornelius both petitioned for Loyalist military land grants as soldiers reduced in 1783. It notes that each of their families were "not in the province" at the time of the petition. Census records show that their families were back in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA in 1800. Census records indicate that Jacob remained in Ulster County for the remainder of his life so it would seem that he never claimed his entitled land grant in southern Ontario.

In 1790 Jacob was living in Middletown, Ulster County with the following family: 1m +16, 2m-16, 3f. It is believed that Jacob's wife, Majke was dead before 1783 and that the three females shown here are his daughters. In 1800 Jacob is found with his brothers, Cornelius and John, as well as his brother-in-law Coonradt Meisner, in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York with the following family: 1m-10, 1m45+, 2f-10,1f26-45. It is believed that the ages of the younger children are incorrectly recorded. His son Jacob has established his own farm nearby in Woodstock by this time. Jacob is not found in the 1810 census and is presumed to have died.

Jacob married in 1768 in Ulster County, New York Colony, British North America to Majke CRISPELL b: 27 AUG 1738 in Kingston, Ulster County, New York Colony, British North America. 		Furlow(Voeller), Jacob (I5045)

During the years leading up to outbreak of the American Revolution in 1776 a spirit of independence was already growing in the New York colony, and the people of Ulster County were described as "patriotic, almost to a man". During the American Revolution, Kingston, as the state capital, became a key strategic point. An improvised state senate house was established in the home of the Ten Broeck family (a name which becomes significant below).
In the spring of 1777, during the Revolution, men from Shandaken and Shokan were induced by British recruiting officers to desert their homes and join a party headed for New York City to enlist in the King's army. Attractive promises were made to them that they would receive one hundred acres for each man and fifty acres for each child in his family.
Among those who joined up were Jacob and Cornelius Völler (a.k.a. Furlow or Furler) and their brothers-in-law, William Diets (a.k.a. Teets) and Hendricke Crispel. The whole party was captured near New Paltz and taken to Fort Montgomery for trial. The trial took place in April 1777 and most of them were condemned to be hanged for treason. Most of the men, including Jacob and Cornelius Furler, William Diets and Hendrick Crispel, were later pardoned on account of youth or other extenuating circumstances and released. Although it is recorded that the Shandaken men promptly joined the patriot forces, the Furlers appear to have remained with the British under the command of Captain Peter Ten Broeck in the company of Butler's Rangers.
A reference from Berthold Fernow's book, New York in the Revolution, p.225, cites: "New York Line, Fourth Company Privates: Furrlough, Corn., May 24 '77, 3 yrs, des'd [deserted] Apr 19 '78, MR."
In the fall of 1777 the British forces occupied Kingston and on October 16, 1777 they burned the town to the ground.
Captain Peter Ten Broeck of Butler's Rangers
At the outbreak of the American Revolution, John Butler was a successful farmer on the Mohawk River opposite Fort Hunter (now Fonda, NY). He held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the colonial militia of New York and the appointment of Deputy Superintendent in the British Indian Department. In November 1775, John Butler was posted to Fort Niagara with instructions to maintain the neutrality of the Six Nations in accordance with British policy. By 1777 the British realized that rebel overtures to the Six Nations might succeed in winning them to the American side and thus they were recruited to fight for the British against the Americans. In August 1777, Butler gathered a large force of Indians at Oswego while Rebel forces gathered on the Mohawk River, and at the Battle at Oriskany Creek Butler successfully decimated the rebel army. Butler was then authorized to raise a Corps of Rangers to serve with the Indians on the frontiers. The Beating Order was issued 15 September 1777 and Butler's Rangers came into being. Recruiting began immediately and although slow, the Rangers were probably the most successful corps in the North in attracting recruits.
Among the Captains in Butler's Rangers was one Captain Peter Ten Broeck, and recorded among his company were Privates Jacob and Cornelius Furler (or Furlow). (See Roster of Butler's Rangers.) Privates in Butler's Rangers were paid 2 shillings, 6 pence per day.
Peter Ten Broeck had been a Captain in the New York Militia in the Mohawk Valley. He served as a Captain in the York Provincial Regiment during the Seven Year's War. At the outbreak of the American Revolution he was taken by the Americans at Shoemaker's Tavern along with Walter Butler (the son of Colonel John Butler) in September 1777. He eventually escaped and was subsequently commissioned in the Rangers on 4 May 1778. Walter Butler registered a complaint against Ten Broeck for his conduct while a prisoner and Ten Broeck's loyalty was called into question. He was later cleared of any wrongdoing by a Court Marshall in 1781 at Fort Niagara.
By late 1783 the men of Butler's Rangers were released from service and given their promised 100 acres each in the area of the Niagara Peninsula of southeastern Ontario. Among those who were decommissioned were Jacob and Cornelius Furler (Furlow), however they did not claim their land grants until 15 years later. In the meantime they returned to Ulster County in New York and settled on farms in Woodstock township. As the Niagara Peninsula was still largely uncleared land at that time, it may be that Jacob and Cornelius sent their families back to New York to live in a more settled location while Jacob and Cornelius travelled back and forth to establish their land claims, clear their land, and build houses in which to live. It is known that their wives' families (Crispell and Diets) remained in New York which would also explain the many later trips back and forth between Ontario and New York State.

5252 Correspondence from Bob Heinrich:
Data Sources: The birthdate and pre 1766 information is provided by Eric Hahn, Schulstrasso 6, 35614 Asslar-Berghausen. Telephone number 0 64 43 /12 58. It was taken from the Werdorf-Berghausen Church Parish records.

Mr. Hahn reports that Henrichs and Henrich is the same name. In his correspondence he uses Henrichs with the explanation that it was the common spelling prior to 1800. After 1800, and now, Heinrich is the common spelling.

The Russian information was provided by Dr. Igor Pleve, History Professor at Saratov State University, Saratov, Russia. Death and burial locations are assumed by Bob Heinrich. Dr. Pleve reports that Johann George Heinrich was of the Reformed Faith, a weaver of floor carpets from Braunfels County, the Feridorf (Fridorf) place. He arrived in Oranienbaum Russia on August 8, 1766 and the Kukkus Colony (Woljskoje) on June 26, 1767.

The book titled "The Emigration from Germany to Russia in the Years 1763 to 1862", published by German author Karl Stumpp, with the cooperation of The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia references, on page 134, a Johann George Henrich (sic) from Werdorf/Wetzlar-Hesse. It also references on the same line a George Konrad Henrich (sic) also from Werdorf/Wetzlar-Hesse. On the line above it references a Johannes Henrich (sic) from Allendorf/Wetzlar-Hesse. Dr. Stumpp reports the persons in this group moved from the Hesse and Upper Rhine regions of Germany to the Volga in the 1763-1769 period.

The Kukkus 1798 Census reports that a Johannes (sic) and wife Anna Margareta Hess from Popovka (Kutter) were living in Kukkus. It reports Johanns George's age to be 61 which does not agree with the Dr. Pleve reported 1728 and Mr. Hahn's 1729 birth years. Robert J. Heinrich, the person writing this account, concludes that Mr. Hahn's access to the Werdorf church records is the superior source and, therefore, 1729 is the accepted birth year. In the house was daughter, Anna Elizabeth, age 2, and childern from his deceased wife. They were: Philip Wilhelm, age 23, and wife Margareta Wetlaifer (?) (sic), age 23, and daughters Maria Elisabeth age 4, Maria Barbara age 3 and Katarina Maargareta age 1; Johann George age 21 and Wilhelm Anton age 17.

The census also reports that during the 1797 harvest Johannes Heinrich had 9 horses, 12 cows, 24 sheep, 10 swine, 5 geese, 20 chickens, two 1/4 chetverts and 4 chetveriks of rye (1 chetvert = about 210 liters and 1 Chetverik = about 26 liters), and 5 chetveriks of wheat.

A book titled "Kukkus," published by the American Historical Society of Germans From Russia, reports the following: The Johann George Heinrich family was one of the Kukkus founding families. The family is reported to be from Werdorf, a German village within the Solms-Braunfels principality.

Werdorf is about 50.4 degrees North and about 8.4 Degrees East of the Prime Meridian. It is about 35 miles North of the present city of Frankfurt am Main and north of Wetzlar and nearly adjacent north of Asslar. Werdorf is not identified on most road maps.

The Kukkus book also references both Johann George Heinrich and a George K. Heinrich to be from the country of Greifenstein. A 1763 map shows a village by the name of Greifenstein located a few miles east of Werdorf. It is not clear if the reference to Greifenstein indicates a government center or a place of residence.

George K. (Konrad) Heinrich is listed as a resident of Werdorf in 1766 and a resident of Kukkus in 1767. He is not listed in the 1798 Kukkus census. Did he leave Kukkus village or was he deceased?

The Solms-Braunfels archives are reported to contain references to Johann George and George K. Heinrichs. A document, dated April 8, 1766 requires several persons, from the country of Greifenstein, who are planning to leave the country for Russia, to answer questions regarding their intentions to leave Germany. A sample of the questions and answers follow: To which area (of Russia) will you go? Johann George Heinrich - "The commissor told them - this side of the Volga"; George Konrad Heinrich - "This side of the Volga was promised to them". Where upon did they build their hope for a better luck? (sic); Johann George Heinrich - "On the promise published by the Empress of Russia"; George Konrad Heinrich - "On the promise of Her Majesty the Empress".

In late May 1998 Robert and Norine Heinrich visited Werdorf. We attended the May 31 Reformed Church Sunday service and obtained copies of the Heinrich family church records. The Heinrich ancestors were members of the congregation. The Church building is on the original Church site. We toured the adjacent town museum, countryside and nearby castle of the ruler at the time of our ancestors. The Count's family continues to live in the castle and own the vast forest lands in the area. The old public records, which are now private records, are in the castle. The records are available to the public for a fee. Other small towns are nearby. It is a prosperous and picturesque area.

Local genealogist, Erich Hahn, did not know of any Heinrichs living in the area. Mr. Hahn's son, a University German History Professor reported that poverty and the devastation of international, national and local wars combined with poverty and oppression by local rulers caused commoners and the unlanded to move to Russia. Two years after the ancestors moved to Russia there was a general famine in the area resulting in hundreds of deaths. Mr. Hahn's son also reported that the religion of the area changed from Lutheran to Reformed within less than one hundred years.

The passage to Russia began in 1766. Emigrants were assembled and transported to Lubeck, Germany where they waited for ships to take them to Russia. They departed Germany from the Baltic Sea city of Travemunde. Robert and Norine Heinrich visited Lubeck and Travemunde in late May 1998. Many of the buildings that existed in Lubeck remain. It continues to be a Baltic Sea port. Travemunde is the point where the port of Lubeck enters the Baltic Sea. It is a summer seaside resort town. Two man made structures remain from the time of our ancestors - a light house and a navigation marker pad on a curve in the river.

It required between 10 and 12 days for the ships to reach the Russian fortress of Kronstadt on Kotlin Island in the Gulf of Finland. From Kronstadt the immigrants were moved to Oranienbaum. A few weeks later they began the overland trek to Petrovsk by way of Novgorod, Moskow and Penza. It was in Petrovsk that the Johann George Heinrich family spent their first Russian winter. In the spring of 1767 they continued on to Saratov, a Russian military garrison established for the purpose of protecting the Russian frontier against Asian nomads.

The settlers departed Saratov in a train of over 100 wagons. They crossed the Volga River and began to drop off settlers at the various town sites. On June 27, 1767, 181 settlers (100 males and 81 females) were dropped off at Kukkus.

The German recruiting agent, representing the Russian government, named the new village Neu-Braband. The first official village name was Wolskaja (Wolskaje). The villagers changed the name to Kukkus. The new name reflected the village's administrator or mayor, Abraham Kukkus. By 1772 the Wolskoja name was no longer in common use. Since 1941, Kukkus has been known by its new Russian name Priwolskoje.

Bob and Norine Heinrich visited Kukkus in June of 1993. Kukkus is on a hill over looking the Volga River. Many late 1800's vintage houses remain. A few post World II houses are on the north end of town. Two communal farms are the only visable employers. The land is being farmed on a large mechanized scale. Rye was waist high and fields were being prepared for planting. Sprinkler irrigation was being applied.

Mr. Andres Baum, his son and family lived in Kukkus at the time of our visit. Three decendants of Kukkus and the Werdorf area of Germany visited with Mr.Baum. They were Bob Heinrich, Marie Becker and Elma Maser Fredder. He and his now deceased wife (from the Maser family) and their som had returned from Siberia when Mr. Baum retired. Mr. Baum and his wife had been deported to Siberia at the beginning of World War II.Mr. Baum took us on a tour of the town. He showed us where the church had been, where he went to school, where he worked as a young man and pointed out our family homes. I was given a tour of the Heinrich house. The occupant, a widower, appoligized, through an interpreter, for its condition. He said his wife had passed away three years ago and he was not a good house keeper.

Mr. Baum, with the help of two village women, served us a chicken noodle soup lunch with all of the trimmings. We toasted, with vodka, our friendship, each other, our families past and present, and our hope to meet again in this or another world.

The Kukkus of our ancestors must have been a pretty village. They carved it out of the wilderness and made it beautiful. The decendents of the builders are no longer there to care for it. The cemetery is in ruins and neglected. The church sancatuary was destroyed years ago. The church social hall is now a town meeting hall. The nearby Cow Island is covered with water resulting from a down-stream Volga river dam. Only the top of a tree marks its location. The higher water level is washing the river bank resulting in houses falling into the river. The old houses seemed to say to me - we are glad you are here; we are glad someone remembered those that made us once beautiful and happy homes.

Mr. Baum, his son and family moved to Germany is 1996.

The first school in the town of Juniata was taught in the summer of 1853 by Miss Ellen E. Miller, now wife of Charles R. Seldon of Caro. The building used was a low log shanty, built by D. G. Wilder to live in, until he could construct a better habitation. It stood nealy opposite the present site of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Watrousville. The following are the names of pupils who attended this first term of school: Sarah, Arvilla, and Eliza McGlone, George, Charles and Abraham Pettingill, Nancy, John and Dall Streeter, Jennie and James King, George Smith, Mary, Sally, Albert and Emily Schultz, Martha Huntley, Lemuel Gamble, Jonathan, Clarissa and Salmon Simons, Nelson and Dana Miller, and Anna Morrell. 		Shultz, Sarah Ann (I5938)

5265 CUTTER LETTIE L 08-29-1886 11-12-1956

LETTIE CUTTER

By her daughter, Nina Cutter Messenger

Lettie Lorene Lunger was born August 31, 1886, in Marshall County, Kansas, daughter of Mary and Ferman Lunger, who came to Covington soon after the Strip was opened, bringing their 3 children: Lettie, Wesley and Earl. Lettie Lunger's mother had first married a brother of Ferman Lunger and they had 5 children: Alice, Anna, Phillip, Allen and Willie. He died and Mary then married his brother Ferman. Their daughter, Lettie, was my mother.

Grandmother, for some good reason, allowed Phillip to be adopted and he took the family name of Billing. He went to college and became a lawyer. It was several years before I met him, as his law practice was in the east. I never did see Aunt Anna and Uncle Willie. Aunt Alice lived at Pryor and we saw her occasionally. Uncle Allen was divorced and came to Covington to live the rest of his years, a friend to everyone.

My Grandfather Lunger provided for his family by farming and doing odd jobs wherever he could find them. Mother didn't finish high school, as she had to help at home, which helped in later years, too, because she was a good cook and seamstress.

My mother was a favorite cook of the community. One preacher would tell her that her food was "musty"; "I must have some more." She was noted for her angel food cakes. For a community affair, she sometimes baked as many as three in one day. Having only one pan, she would bake them one at a time in the wood stove. She knew exactly what size of wood to put in the stove to bake the cake.The way I learned to make an angel food cake was a case of emergency. My mother had promised to bake three cakes for someone. She got sick with a gall bladder attack after she had baked two of them. It was up to me to bake the last one. She directed me from her bed and when I was finished, mine was as high as hers. That boosted my morale, from then on I wasn't afraid to make an angel food cake. Pauline was afraid to make an angel food cake and didn't try until she had a cake mix to use.

Generally on Sunday morning, my mother would bake pies before she went to church because very often we brought the preacher home for dinner. We thought we had the preachers too often because when they appeared we had to put on the Sunday manners. My mother cooked a lot during the week so therefore it was a standing rule that everybody fix what he wanted for Sunday supper from the dinner leftovers.

My mother always baked her own bread twice a week. We thought it was a treat to eat bakery bread. The night before she baked bread we would have to bring the everlasting yeast up from the cellar. Then we would mix water and flour to it and let it sit overnight. We were never sure which one of us girls she would call on to do that job. Anyway, we were rewarded when we came home from school and could break off a piece of hot bread. We would then put good home made butter on it and have an after-school snack.

Mother had to go to the hospital for gall bladder surgery and it was a happy day when she came home. The ambulance was just ahead of the school bus. One boy made a smart remark about our mother riding in an ambulance. Pauline got so mad she started crying but I didn't care, I was glad to see my mother come home.

We were a large family and everyone had to do his share of the work which consisted of milking cows and churning butter. We kept several cows and it was a job to bring them home at night and take them back in the morning. My mother decided that she could make more money by churning the cream and selling the butter by the pound. Money from the eggs and butter was then used for groceries. That was one job that every one helped with. I remember a big barrel shaped churn that was almost too large for a small child, but we all had to help do this twice a week. We still have the trays mother put the molded butter on to take to the grocery store.

In our farm house we didn't have electricity. Our wood-burning stove had a reservoir and no warming oven. Later, we probably had a kerosene stove.

My mother believed in dreams. After Edith left home she would say, "I had a dream about Edith last night, we should hear from her today". The majority of the time we would get a letter.

The children all attended the little country school named "Cracker Box,"(later named Diamond). It was the center of that community's social life. After I completed my third year in school my father had our farm transferred to the Covington school district. From that time on we were a part of the Covington activities.

My older brother and sisters all attended Sunday School in Douglas. On special days (if I promised to be good) they would take me along. When the Covington Christian Church was started in 1925, my folks were charter members and were active in that church until their deaths.

My folks worked hard to provide for their family. Monday was always wash day. The first washing machine was operated by hand. It was a happy day when father bought a washing machine with a gasoline motor. Another job that had to be done was ironing. Mother ironed many a shirt with the old fashioned flat iron heated on a wood stove. Mother was a good seamstress, she used one basic pattern but could make a dress by looking at a picture of one in the store window or the catalog. I didn't have a "store bought" dress until my 8th grade graduation.

We were one big happy family. We didn't have to go away from home to have plenty of excitement. If we couldn't stir up enough just in our family we had plenty of relatives close by always willing to join in with us. After father died in 1935 my mother stayed on the farm for a few more years, then sold it to Uncle John's son, (Charlie Cutter), and that put our 80 acres back into the original 160 acre farm. Mother then bought a house in Covington and lived there until her death in 1956. My younger brother, Derald Dean (Billy), lived with mother until he went into the service for his country and was killed in the European Theater. 		Lunger, Lettie Lorene (I24277)
