Notes for Fytje Hartmans WESSELS
Year Book of the Holland Society of New York, p 35:
On August 30, 1663, Sara Kierstede was informed by a savage that not less than eight Indian tribes had united to destroy all the white settlements along the North River, while the widow of Michael Jansen Vreeland had been warned by another savage that several Indian tribes had joined forces for the purpose of securing more Dutch prisoners. Fortunately the war remained confined to Esopus, but none at the time could foresee how soon and how far it would spread.
