• Notes

  Jonathan Hascall served in Colonel Fitch's 4th Regiment during the French war in 1759. The regiment arrived at Fort Ticonderoga 7 July 1759. Jonathan is listed as the father of an illegitimate daughter by Elizabeth Trembal. In 1773 Jonathan and Anna moved to Lackawaxen, on the Delaware river, where they settled. Jonathan died at the battle of Minisink, PA. 22 July 1779, along with forty-four other settlers. On 20 July word arrived of an attack on locals. Moved by the atrocities committed by the enemy 149 brave, but foolhardy men, set out for revenge against a seasoned enemy force that outnumbered them. They were up against the Tories led by Colonel Brandt and allied Indians. On the morning of the 21st, they set out in pursuit, and after traveling 17 miles they camped at Skinner's saw mills. Although they were again warned of the size of the enemy force, they set out on the morning of the 22nd. Corporal Tyler was sent forward with a small scouting party and was ambushed. Even with this bad news the force continued forward. Colonel Hawthorne spied some Indians in the distance and started pursuit. Brandt saw Hawthorne's action and took up positions to meet the force Hawthorne left. This effectively removed Hawthorne's band of 50 from the action. Later, Brandt showed himself and demanded that the Americans surrender. While parlaying, things got out of control and a general action ensued. The American force was now 90 or so, but were not well positioned and were fighting an overwhelming force well hidden. Brandt called out for the Indians to cross the river and attack the Americans from the rear. At the same time, Brandt's men attacked. The Americans then attempted to flee. Some tried to swim the Delaware River and were drowned. On 22 July 1822, the bones were finally recovered and buried in Goshen. On 22 July 1862, a new monument replaced the defaced one set earlier.
