Waterville Historical Society is reopening Wednesday, July 1st
from 10 to 4. Please observe masks and social distancing.
Our first public program of the season will be held Saturday,
July 25 at 2 pm. Terry McMaster will present:
A Nest of Rascally Rebels: Scots-Irish Revolutionaries of Currybush

“In the early 1750s a few Scots-Irish families from central
Massachusetts and south-central New Hampshire began
trickling into an unsettled region about halfway between
Schenectady and Fort Hunter, into what is today the Town of
Princetown, Schenectady County.  Those families greatly
contributed to the cause of American Independence, the Scots-
Irish being particularly critical of British control over the
American colonies.  We will explore seven families who settled
in what was then called "Corry's Brook," their patterns of
intermarriage and frontier lifestyle, and their fierce
participation in fighting the British during the American
Revolution.”
Terry McMaster is an independent researcher examining
ethnicity, settlement patterns, family connections and military
engagement throughout the Mohawk and Upper Susquehanna
Valleys prior to and during the American Revolution.
Terry is primarily researching the citizen soldiers who fought
for and protected the homes and families of colonial Tryon
County, the alliances and conflicts between Loyalists, Indians
and Revolutionaries, and the part played in their lives by
family ties, ethnic variation and religion.  He is especially

interested in the emigration of Ulster Scots to New England
and New York, and their sizable impact on the "War of 1776."    
He is also involved in a large-scale Y-DNA project that traces
Scots-Irish genetic and population patterns in Northern Ireland
and America.  He has presented his research at Fort Plain
Museum’s "American Revolution in the Mohawk Valley" annual
conference, at the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium at the
University of Toronto, at the Oriskany Battlefield
Commemoration and at historical societies throughout upstate
New York.
Terry’s ancestor Capt. David McMaster was a member of the
Tryon Co. Committee of Safety, led the 6th company of the 3rd
Regiment, Tryon Co. Militia, and fought at the battles of
Oriskany and Johnstown.  His ancestors were living in Cherry
Valley at the time of the attack on Nov. 11, 1778.  He is a
photographer, artist and teacher, and works as an addiction
therapist at Capital Counseling, Albany, NY.




- AROUND TOWN -

While many usual local fireworks shows were cancelled out of safety precautions due to the coronavirus, Colgate University in Hamilton allowed Drive In Fireworks, where each car was given a 20 ft. space. Jody Hildreth captured their beauty like no other! As one might expect, there were plenty of unofficial fireworks enjoyed throughout the countryside as well.

The full moon made a spectacular appearance on the evening of July 4th, and has been quite the beauty at moonset as well.






Farewell to the Senior banners as they move on to their next step! Well it's impossible to know in what capacity the event will safely be able to be held, the Cruisin' banners are going up and something will be coming this fall.


This weekend's Chicken BBQ!
