| Shared note | Christian is buried in the old cemetery north of Saxton, N. Y. His home was on the line between Ulster and Greene counties along the road between Saxton and Kiskatom. At the battle of Saratoga he served under General Gates as an ambulance driver, using his own horse and wagon, in which he and his brother Johannes had driven to Saratoga. The box of this wagon is shown among the Revolutionary relics preserved in the old Senate House at Kingston. In 1779 he was Second Lieutenant of Captain David Abeel's Company, Eleventh Regiment Albany Militia. In 1781 he served in Lieutenant Tobias Meyer's detachment, First Regiment Ulster County Militia. He was an elder in Katsbaan church in 1786. He was a man of strong individuality and many stories of him were current for generations. One related to his marriage: Captain Wynkoop disapproved of his attentions to his daughter, Annatje, and he was forbidden the house. One Sunday when the captain and his family were at Katsbaan at church, and Annatje and Cuff, the slave, were at home, the captain returned to find Cuff alone. All Cuff could tell was that Christian had ridden in with a black horse and Annatje rode away with him a-pillion. Some time in the afternoon they returned. The irate captain met them but Christian waved before the captain's face a marriage certificate with the query "Op mijn donder wat doen gij nu?" (What will you do now?). They had been the twelve miles to Kingston, and back, in the interval. Another was that when the news came one morning that the militia were going to Saratoga the father of Christian had told his boys to cut the corn that day. But as he heard that others were getting ready for service he said to his father "Gaan gij naar de mais -- ik naar de oorlog gaan!" (You go to the corn - I go to war). |
