﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  34J7 
  

  

  from 
  England, 
  the 
  latter 
  remaining 
  for 
  three 
  years. 
  The 
  Rev. 
  

   Thomas 
  Barclay 
  succeeded 
  him, 
  remaining 
  from 
  1708 
  to 
  1712, 
  

   and 
  was 
  followed 
  by 
  the 
  Rev. 
  William 
  Andrews, 
  staying 
  three 
  

   years 
  more. 
  He 
  reported 
  over 
  60 
  regular 
  attendants 
  and 
  38 
  

   communicants. 
  He 
  had 
  a 
  church 
  and 
  school 
  at 
  Fort 
  Hunter, 
  

   and 
  went 
  also 
  to 
  Oneida, 
  far 
  to 
  the 
  west. 
  The 
  work 
  was 
  dis- 
  

   couraging, 
  and, 
  when 
  he 
  left 
  it 
  in 
  1718, 
  he 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  Heathen 
  they 
  

   are, 
  and 
  heathen 
  they 
  will 
  still 
  be." 
  

  

  In 
  1 
  73 
  1 
  the 
  Rev. 
  John 
  Miln, 
  of 
  Albany, 
  was 
  to 
  visit 
  the 
  Mo- 
  

   hawks 
  quarterly, 
  staying 
  five 
  days 
  each 
  time. 
  By 
  him 
  the 
  Rev. 
  

   Henry 
  Barclay 
  was 
  appointed 
  catechist 
  at 
  Fort 
  Hunter, 
  who 
  

   reported 
  58 
  communicants 
  in 
  1741. 
  Two 
  years 
  later 
  there 
  were 
  

   few 
  unbaptized. 
  In 
  1750 
  the 
  Rev. 
  John 
  Ogilvie 
  went 
  periodically 
  

   to 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  from 
  Albany, 
  " 
  amid 
  great 
  discouragements 
  and 
  

   in 
  the 
  very 
  outskirts 
  of 
  civilization." 
  The 
  Rev. 
  John 
  Jacob 
  Oel 
  

   was 
  his 
  assistant, 
  laboring 
  at 
  Canajoharie 
  and 
  among 
  the 
  Onei- 
  

   das 
  and 
  Tuscaroras. 
  The 
  Rev. 
  Henry 
  Munro 
  also 
  did 
  some 
  work 
  

   among 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  previous 
  to 
  1770, 
  when 
  the 
  Rev. 
  John 
  Stuart 
  

   became 
  a 
  resident 
  missionary, 
  giving 
  all 
  his 
  time 
  to 
  the 
  work, 
  

   which 
  was 
  interrupted 
  by 
  the 
  war. 
  Before 
  it 
  was 
  over 
  he 
  went 
  

   to 
  Canada. 
  

  

  The 
  Rev. 
  John 
  Sergeant, 
  a 
  Congregationalist, 
  had 
  founded 
  an 
  

   Indian 
  mission 
  at 
  Stockbridge 
  Mass., 
  in 
  1736, 
  visiting 
  the 
  Sus- 
  

   quehanna 
  in 
  1744. 
  The 
  Rev. 
  David 
  Brainerd 
  came 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  

   valley 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  time, 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  thought 
  that 
  he 
  visited 
  

   Oquaga 
  in 
  1745. 
  The 
  Rev. 
  Elihu 
  Spencer 
  went 
  there 
  in 
  1748, 
  

   remaining 
  till 
  the 
  next 
  spring 
  and 
  translating 
  the 
  Lord's 
  Prayer. 
  

   Two 
  of 
  his 
  converts 
  were 
  Peter 
  Agwrondougwas, 
  or 
  Good 
  Peter, 
  

   and 
  Isaac 
  Dakayenensese. 
  The 
  former 
  was 
  an 
  eloquent 
  Oneida 
  

   chief, 
  and 
  both 
  sometimes 
  conducted 
  public 
  services. 
  

  

  There 
  were 
  55 
  students 
  in 
  Timothy 
  Woodbridge's 
  Indian 
  

   school 
  at 
  Stockbridge 
  in 
  1753, 
  some 
  being 
  from 
  Oquaga. 
  That 
  

   year 
  Gideon 
  Hawley 
  and 
  Woodbridge 
  went 
  to 
  that 
  place, 
  visiting- 
  

   Johnson 
  on 
  the 
  way. 
  Woodbridge 
  did 
  not 
  remain 
  long 
  and 
  

   Hawley 
  returned 
  in 
  1756, 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  war, 
  a 
  fort 
  being 
  built 
  

   there 
  that 
  year. 
  After 
  his 
  departure 
  Good 
  Peter 
  carried 
  on 
  mis-
