Mrs Dorn remembers to have heard her mother-in-law tell of Sir William Johnson, particularly of his funeral at which according to her recollection, most of the mourners were Indians. The red men are also largely accociated with the memories of our subject. A cousin of her mother called "the beauty of Schoharie" was shot by a savage. A principal Indian trail ran through the Dorn farm. A brother of Mrs Dorn in peace times use to carry apples to the Indians at a point thirty miles beyond Utica, and was always well treated. She formerly attended the Caughnawaga stone church and often saw there Colonel Visscher, who was scalped during the revolution in his home in the town of Mohawk, and left for dead by the savages. He wore a handkerchief on his head which concealed his wound.
Mrs Dorn's husband, who was born in 1760 was a patriot soldier in the Revolutionary war, as were also two of his brothers, one of whom, named Peter was at the battle of Oriskany. Mrs Dorn remembers a time when the village of Johnstown had but two stores, one physician and one grist-mill, that built by Sir William Johnson was near the Hall
