Page 121, The Patroons of French and Dutch Hoosac:
"Ambuscades of savages began to lurk throughout Hoosac Valley after the Englished commenced to build Fort Massachusetts. NICHOLAS BOVIE of Kreigger neighbor, now North Pownal, VT, was scalped and left for dead, although he survived many years and was known as "Scalped Dick."

The late Alonzo Whipple, one of the Pownal citizens, located his disinterred grave many years ago after a freshet, and recovered his brass bowled pipe, which is now in the possession of V.D.S.

Jacob Sanders , constable, informs the court that a certain Frenchman, Matthys, threatens to poison his Negress and he offers to prove it.

The Frenchman, Matthys Boffie, appearing before the court, acknowledges that he has slept for 2 years with the Negress and that he has 2 children by her and that he would like to buy her.

Arnout Cornelise Viele, being sworn, says that he heard some conversation at his house between Jacob Sanderse and Matthys, the Frenchman, Matthys saying that he did not intend to run away with his Negress, but would buy her. Furthermore, that this morning he heard Matthys say to Jacob Sanders: "If you will not sell the Negress to me, I shall get a root out of the woods and break it in two and give the Negress one half and eat the other half myself and thus die before your door."

Reynier Barents, being sworn, says that he heard Matthys Boffie say this morning to Jacob Sanderse: "If you will not sell your Negress to me for 50 or 60 beavers, I shall get a root from the woods and break it in two and give her one half and eat the other half myself and in the space of half an hour we shall both die before your door."

Joh. Cuyler, being sworn, says that he heard Matthys say that if Jacob Sanders would not sell his Negress for 50 or 60 beavers or money, he would get a root from the woods, [593] and give one half to the Negress and eat the other half himself and with the space of half an hour they would both die before the door. He heard him say so this morning.

Matthys, the Frenchman, being summoned to appear in court, the examination of Francyn, the Negress of Jacob Staets, and the examination of various Negroes and Negresses of Shinnechtady are read to him, in which they unanimously charge him with having employed every means to entice her to run away to Canada, saying that he would show her the way and make her free.

[656] Francyn, the Negress of Jacob Staets, accuses Mathys, the Frenchman, to his face of having asked her several times to run away to Canada, but Mathys, the Frenchman, denies that he ever asked any Negro or Negress to run away.

Pey, the Negress of Jacob Sanders, having been summoned and examined, states to Mathhys, the Frenchman's, face that he asked her last summer to run away and that, if her master would not sell her to him and he had no money to buy her, he would nevertheless run away with her, but Pey refused to do so.

Matthys, the Frenchman, denies this likewise, saying that he has had a child or two by the said Negress, but that now he does not like her.

The honorable court order Matthys, the Frenchman, to give security in the sum of 100 pounds to answer the charge of having endeavored to allure some Negroes and Negresses before the next Court of Oyer and Terniner to be held for this county in May and, if he can not furnish any security, the sheriff is ordered to confine him and to produce him before the Court of Oyer and Terminer aforesaid.
