Benjamin TURCK (1723 – 1810) was Alex’s 7th Grandfather; one of 256 in this generation of the Shaw line.

Benjamin Turck was born in 1 Dec 1723 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. His parents were Johannes TURKand Jannetjen Van WAGENINGEN. His godparents were  Barent Benthuysz and Jannetjen van Wageningen. He married Ida Van WEYEN about 1741 in Kingston, Ulster New York. After Ida died, he married Sarah {–?__] 20 Oct 1788.   Benjamin died in 1810 in Ulster, New York.

Benjamin Turck was born, married and died in Kingston, New York.  Wiltwyck was given the name Kingston following the English takeover of the Hudson Valley in 1663.

Ida Van Weyen was born on 15 Sep 1728 in Albany, NY.   Her parents were Hendrick Hendrickse Van WIE and Hilletje BECKER.  Her maiden name is also given as Van Wie.

Children of Benjamin and Ida:

Many of Benjamin’s sons and sons-in-law (indicaated with a Red X) lived in the same area of Kingston Commons Flatbush Class

Children

Benjamin’s sons Jacob, Hendrick and Johannes fought in the Revolutionary War in the Ulster County 1st Regiment under Colonel Johannes Snyder.

Snyder’s Regiment of Militia was known officially as The First Regiment of Ulster County Militia. It was the first regiment of four created in Ulster County, New York as ordered by the Provincial Congress of New York. It was also referred to as the Northern Regiment since it members were from the Northern section of Ulster County towns including Kingston, New York (then also called Esopus) and Saugerties, New York (then called Kingston Commons)

Johannes Snyder was given his commission and officially took his post as Colonel on May 1, 1776. At that time the 1st Ulster County Militia was reported to have 472 officers and men. In April of that year, he was elected to the Provincial Congress as a Delegate, and thus did not start active duty until September 1, 1776 when he was directed to proceed to Fort Montgomery in the Hudson Highlands and take command. He arrived on Sep  27.

The three months for which the Regiment had been called out expired on Nov 30. In the following year, 1777, he was with his regiment at Ft Montgomery as early as June 4. On July 30, he took his seat as a member of the Assembly in the first legislature chosen in New York State. His activity was said to be “untiring! ” He was at the head of his regiment in the Highlands, and was assigned to every court-martial convened by General George Clinton to try Tories who were active everywhere, and whom his Regiment seized on every hand. He was also a member of the Council of Safety in Ulster County. Colonel Snyder was thus in Kingston when Major General Vaughan landed to destroy Kingston, New York State’s first Capital. He could only muster 5 small cannons and about 150 men. The rest of the 1st Ulster were either with General, now Governor, George Clinton on their way to Kingston from the defeat at Fort Montgomery or as part of Colonel Graham’s Levies from Dutchess and Ulster counties which were facing John Burgoyne at Saratoga. Colonel Snyder along with Colonel Levi Pawling threw up a hasty earthwork at Ponckhonkie overlooking theHudson River and the mouth of the Rondout Creek, and a second one at the hill near O’Reilly’s Woods—the present site of Kingston’s City Hall, and placed his cannons. The British numbering over 2,000 of course drove the defenders out and commenced to torch the city on October 16, 1777. As General Vaughan wrote, “Esopus [Kingston] being a nursery for almost every Villain in the Country, I judged it necessary to proceed to that Town…they fired from their Houses, which induced me to reduce the Place to Ashes, which I accordingly did, not leaving a House.” After this, Governor Clinton assigned Colonel Snyder and a part of the regiment to assist and help rebuild the ruined city. He energetically took hold of the work with his men, and the town rapidly arose from the ashes. In 1778, and through the remainder of the war, Colonel Snyder was credited that no enemy descent was made upon exposed settlements in the northwest Catskills frontier where Governor Clinton committed its defense to him and his regiment. Part of the regiment was usually stationed at Little Shandaken to watch the approach through the valley of the Esopus Creek. Scouts constantly covered the territory from Hurley woods to the Palentine Clove along the foot of the Catskills. On at least three documented occasions, marauding Indians and Tories were turned back by finding their movements watched.

It is alleged the Regiment was founded as the Burgher Guard of Wildwijk in 1758. Captain Hendrick’s Schoonmaker’s Company of the 1st Ulster Regiment lineage continues to the Headquarters and Service Battery, 1st Battalion of the 156th Field Artillery Regiment which in 2006 was changed to become 104th Military Police Battalion.

The city of Kingston was first called Esopus after a local Indian tribe, then Wiltwyck. Settled in 1651, it was one of the three large settlements in New Netherland, the other two being Beverwyck, now Albany, and New Amsterdam, now New York City. In 1777, Kingston became the first capital of New York. This is due to the fact that during the summer of 1777, when the state constitution was written, Albany, the historic center of government of New York, was under threat of attack by Burgoyne and his army. The state’s founding fathers believed Kingston would be a safer place. Ironically, the British never reached Albany, being stopped at Saratoga, but they did reach Kingston. Shortly after the Battle of Saratoga, the city was burned by British troops moving up the Hudson River from New York City, disembarking at the mouth of the Rondout Creek on the formation the Dutch had named Ponck Hockie. Contrary to popular belief there wasn’t a large conflict between the townsfolk and the British invaders. This is because the denizens of Kingston knew of the oncoming fleet. The city had been evacuated by the time the British arrived, and the settlers had moved to Hurley, New York, which the British did not attack.

The area was a major granary for the colonies at the time, so the British burned large amounts of wheat and all but one or two of the buildings. There is some debate over exactly how much of a fight was put up against the British; one third of the local militia regiment was still to the north at Saratoga, and one third was to the south manning several forts (which were captured days before by the British). This would have left approximately 150 militiamen to defend the city against approximately 2,000 British regulars. In 1797, the capital was reestablished at Albany.

Buried Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee; m1. 1820 Greene county NY to Rachel Gay Since this Peter’s gravestone shows his birth to be in Kinderhook, Columbia, New Yok, I think it is more likely that this Peter is his second cousin, the son of Jacob Turck and Mary Klein (See Peter’s great grandfather’s page Johannes TURK for details.
