Polly Burns

Notes:

John WILTSEE 7,
son of Thomas Wiltsee, s. of Jeremiah, s. of Cornelius, s. of Marten Wiltsee, b. Jan. 9, 1770, m. Miss Polly BURNS, June 15, 1788; d. in 1852. He first lived at Pownal, Vt., after his marriage. He moved to Duanesburg and lived several years, and then accompanied his cousins Cornell and Benjamin Wiltsee to Onondaga Co., New York, in the spring of 1813 and settled at Marcellus, four miles from Skaneatelas. He made his home there the remainder of his life. He became wealthy, and gave each of his family a farm and personal property to do business with. He visited his parents when his mother was about to die in Pownal. He visited his brother Jeremiah in 1841, and his relatives in Chautauqua Co., N. Y. He visited them again in the spring of 1844 before the death of his brother, and the family and others in the summer of 1850. He made the journeys with a single horse hitched to a covered carriage. His wife was dead, and he was extremely fleshy. It was difficult for him to walk far, and traveling was very tiresome for him. "I was East in 1897," wrote Albert Wiltsee, s. of Eleazer Wiltsee, s. of John Wiltsee, "and learned little or nothing in regard to my Wiltsee relatives. The old ones are all dead, and the young ones know but little about their ancestors, and care less. There are a few things connected with my grandfather's life that are a little sad, a little romantic, and a little laughable. When he was about 14 years old, he was bound out to a man by the name of Trip Buley. His mother and grand-father [David Cary] are said to have been the instigators of it. He was not furnished with enough food nor sufficient clothing; and he ran away when he was about 18 years old, and was arrested and taken back. He was informed that the only way he could get released from bondage was to get married. He went about it at once--went to see a strictly Dutch girl. It snowed in the night; and towards morning, when he opened the door to go home, he saw that the ground was covered. He hadn't a shoe to his feet. His girl got rags, and tied them around his feet, and he started home. Some hunters coming that way, mistook his tracks for bear tracks, and followed him to the house."
