Isaac Cornelis Swits

  Noted events in his life were:

• Kidnapped. One of my sons and I were taken captive when Schnectady was attacked in 1690. When I returned home in July, I found that my land had been appropriated for defense. My orchard was cut down and my home ruined. I filed a petition with the Governor and Council in November 1704 and again on October 21, 1706 for thirty pounds or a parcel of land on the Norman's creek. On April 16, 1706, I received a deed from Indian proprieters for 1,000 acres along the south side of the Mohawk from Alplaus to Rosendale. However, I had already died, so the deed was given to my son Cornelius on October 2, 1708.
