assigned to each number to indicate as follows: S=soldier; W=widow; R=initial
rejection. An application by the Veteran Followed by a subsequent application

minimun service, or too many assets.

This page contains all the information from the 1790 U. S. Census for this part of Schenectady County. The page numbers are those in the 200-300 range written in the upper right corner of the microfilmed page. Because the Schenectady County Public Library has microfilm for the later Heads of Families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790 rather than the original records, pages in that document are also included ("HOF").
Some of the original 1790 Schenectady census records suffered severe damage. (Central Library visitors may access our Ancestry subscription to see images of them.) The parts of the entries which could not be deciphered are marked with an asterisk.
A few corrections have been made for obvious misspellings, but otherwise the heads of families are listed as they were written.
In 1790, most of what eventually became the Town of Niskayuna was still part of what is now the Town of Watervliet in Albany County. Names for this area may be found at the Albany County NYGenWeb site.

Richard Curtis note:
Interesting that the 1800 census does not show james, so in that time frame evidently moved to McDonough NY where he is buried in 1818. The tombstone of James and his wife Jemima in Moore Cemetery shows that Jemima died in 1808 and buried in Moore Cemetery in East McDonough NY. So it seems reasonable to conclude that James migrated to East McDonough near Ludlow's Pond saw mill about 1799. However, a conflicting piece of information is that the 1810 census of Duanesburg NY shows a James Curtis. Most of James children are also buried in Moore Cemetery in East McDonough NY. The only James Curtis appearing in web search of ancestry.com 1800 census in NY in 1800 is in Oneida county and Montgomery county. It could be that since per the History Of Chenango and Madison Counties New York book written by James H. Smith and published in 1880 by D. Mason & Co., Syracuse NY, that McDonough was utter wilderness in 1800, the earliest founder of the township of McDonough (Sylvaus Moore came in 1795 and the township created in 1816). It could be that in 1800 the East McDonough area was so remote that James was not found to interview for the 1800 Census. See http://www.curtisit.com/curtis/ .html for history of McDonough from Mr. James Smiths' book. Note that Seth Curtis, son of James, farm was about 1/2 mile from Ludlow Pond. It may very well be that James and his teenage sons worked at the very first saw mill in the East McDonough area build by Mr. Ludlow in 1798 on creek feeding Ludlow Pond. Also note that per the before referenced book, Mr. Sylvanus Moore who emigrated to McDonough in 1795, married an Elizabeth Curtis, daughter of a Solomon Curtis in 1797. My personal visit to the Moore cemetery reveals that Mr. Sylvanus Moores grave is practically next to that of James Curtis in Moore Cemetery. See pictures of Cemetery in June of 2002 at http://www.curtisit.com/photos/index.php3?album=2002+McDonough+New+York
However as to when James and Bro Joseph arrived in Duanesburgh, we know was there on 1790 census. As to why and whether he was there for long time, may be considered in light of history of mowhawk valley called "Horton's Historical Articles
by Gerald Horton
What Happened to 7,000 People?"
where he says: "The devastation and suffering in the valley were shared by all who lived there. Loyalist, Patriot, Indian – all suffered. Of the estimated10,000 white population in 1777, approximately 1,000 were killed or taken prisoner. Some 2,500 to 3,000 Loyalists left the valley and about 3,000 Patriots abandoned their farms.19
After the war, some people ventured back to the valley. However, it remained virtually desolate until the 1790’s. Large numbers of settlers/farmers moved from Connecticut to the Mohawk Valley in that decade and resettled the area. Local valley people referred to the influx of families as the “Yankee Invasion”. As word spread of the fertile land, the valley gradually repopulated. The terror and bloodshed were only remembered by the families who had lived through the raids."

A History of Schenectady During the Revolution: Chapter XVI
The Mohawk Valley Laid Waste
[This information is taken from pp. 95-100 of A History of Schenectady During the Revolution by Willis T. Hanson, Jr. (1916). presented here since James Curtis likely fought with Col. Dubois is these battles and particularly the one at Ft. Kloch]
The enemy did not wait until spring to again commence their activities. In February, 1780, a small band effected some damage at German Flats, in March a settlement to the north of Palatine sustained a like invasion, and early in April came news of Brant's raid on Harpersfield.
Reports of minor raids, rumors of intended movements by the enemy on a large scale, actual suffering on the part of the settlers for want of provisions, depreciation in Continental currency which had by now become practically worthless, and the difficulties of affording a semblance of protection by reinforcing the meager garrisons already posted, due to the impossibility of obtaining supplies for the militia, the only force available for this service, had by May brought about a most lamentable condition on the frontiers. As a result of this condition the more remote settlements were reported as daily breaking up and Colonel Van Schaick was led to express (1) the fear that unless some speedy and effectual measures were taken to inspire the despondent people with confidence, Schenectady would in all probability soon be the frontier to the westward.
At daybreak on the morning of May 22 the much feared attack of the enemy materialized, Sir John Johnson appearing on the Mohawk River at Tribes Hill with a strong force (2) of Indians and whites. From Tribes Hill the enemy proceeded westward "burning the Houses and Barns of the Inhabitants and putting to Death every Male capable of bearing arms." (3)
"Collo. Fisher (4) is mortally wounded," reported (5) Colonel John Harper from Johnstown on the same day, "and his two (6) Brothers killed, [and] old Mr. Douw Fonda (7) with seven others."
Of the Schenectady militia who had marched under Colonel Wemple "on the first alarm" some were almost immediately obliged to return for want of provisions (8) The remainder, however, hastened towards Johnstown and, joined by troops from Fort Hunter (9) under Colonel Harper (10) and others under Colonel Volkert Vedder, (11) swelling their force to about four hundred and fifty men, determined to engage the enemy should Sir John, who had rendezvoused there, show any disposition to fight. (12)
Sir John, although his force, swelled by the addition of many Tories who had hastened to join him, now outnumbered the American troops about two to one, did not offer an engagement, but almost immediately withdrew and, eluding the troops which Governor Clinton sent to intercept him, made his way safely back to Canada. (13)
The opportunity afforded by the dispirited condition of soldiers and settlers alike had early been seized upon by the British, who with no small success endeavored through their emissaries to stir up mutinies in the ranks of the main army or induce those holding Tory sentiments to take up arms in their behalf.
Many Tories had joined Sir John Johnson during his raid, and from time to time small bands from Albany and Tryon counties left to join the enemy. That a large party so inclined were assembled at Beaverdam was reported (14) to the Schenectady Committee on July 18. Colonel Vrooman (l5) at Schoharie was at once apprised (16) of the fact that he might order out a detachment in an endeavor to intercept them, while in Schenectady a party was at once organized (17) for the same purpose. Although the Schenectady detachment after having marched all night arrived at the rendezvous at daybreak, they were successful in securing but three of the band who had secreted themselves in a barn, while the main body, having undoubtedly been alarmed, succeeded in making their escape. (18)
Late in July the enemy under Joseph Brant appeared in force before Fort Schuyler. This movement was probably a feint, for while the troops were hastening to the defense of the post, leaving the lower valley without adequate means of protection, Brant and his followers quietly withdrew and, advancing by way of the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers on August 2, fell upon Canajoharie.
The Albany and Schenectady militia, who had turned out with alacrity (19) under orders previously given, had just gone into camp at Caughnawaga (20) opposite Mr. Frey's at about eleven o'clock on the morning of the second, when they were alarmed by the heavy smoke "between John Abeails and Fort Plank about four miles distant." (21)
"Instantly I did order both Regiments to be formed," reported (22) Colonel Wemple in his dispatch to General Ten Broeck, "& proceed against the Enemy, who were at that time in their full Carear and tho our Numbers were not equal, yet I can assure you I should be void of Justice if I omitted mentioning their Prudence and cool behavior without Distinction to all Raneks. An Altho they had been in full march since early in the morning they came up with such Vigor that the Enemy on our approach gave way & tho in sight we had no opportunity to give them Battle they retired in the usual way."
"Such a Scean as we beheld since we left the River," reads another section of the report, "passing dead Bodies of Men & Children most cruelly murdered, is not possible to be described. I cannot ascertain at present the Number of poor Inhabitants killed and missing but believe the Loss considerable as the People were all at work in the Fields... Some Persons pretend to say not less than one hundred dwelling House are burnt."
On August 21 Colonel Goose Van Schaick, writing (23) to General Washington from Albany, confirmed the details of the withdrawal of Brant from Fort Schuyler and of the attack on Canajoharie. "From thence," continued the letter, "they returned towards the susquahanna, & in a few days after made a Descent on Schohary; here they burnt twelve Houses, & have by information taken and killed a larger number of the Inhabitants than at the former place, & it is expected the remainder of Schohary will share the same fate. The Indians are seen daily in small parties, & take prisoners & Scalps, Schenectady is threatened & the Inhabitants are moving their effects to Albany with all dispatch seeing no appearance of support, & numbers going off to the enemy daily."
In England Riverton's Royal Gazette told of the successful progress of the expedition. "The Indians have laid waste the whole country," reads its issue (24) of September 23, "the Tory houses excepted, down to Schenectady, where some rebels are at work throwing up works to oppose the progress of the British troops and our Indian allies. The rebel women and children have retired to Albany."

Frederick Visscher (Fisher), a colonel in the Tryon County Militia. He had removed his family to Schenectady for safety's sake a few days before. Having been brought down by a tomahawk, scalped and left for dead by the raiders he subsequently recovered consciousness and managed to escape from the burning house he had so gallantly helped to defend. With the aid of a negro slave belonging to one of the neighbors Colonel Visscher managed to reach friends, who at once sent him to Schenectady by canoe. Here he received medical attention and subsequently recovered from his wounds.

_________________________________________________________________
- A review of land records in Chenango County NY , shows no ownership for James Curtis, other than a James that appears to be un-related in Sherburne NY. Unrelated due to deeds as late as 1817 in Sherburne and James' wife is buried in Moore Cemetery in East McDonough in 1809.
Therefore, it appears that James and his wife Jemima were elderly and living with son Seth and other children when Seth moves as a worker to McDonough NY sometime before 1809. Seth first acquires land in McDonough in 1818.
