My brother John and I had finally made contact with John Miller, who was taking four new families up the Hudson River from New York. We had paid this man the cost to take us to Albany a month earlier. It was our plan to go overland from Albany up the Mohawk River and then travel to Fort Hunter. We had heard Sir William Johnson was selling land up the Mohawk at a place called Stone Arabia. Many Dutch and German families had already settled in this area. John Miller told us that the land was rich for farming, and further up the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, even trapping for furs.
