I have added notes where text seems to be missing or repeated, and changed the layout of
the article (with indentations, etc.) when it involves genealogy to make the family
relationships more understandable. Family Tree follows.

Interesting History of the Noteware Family Compiled by County Historian Charles Cafferty
County Historian Charles Cafferty has just compiled an interesting history of the
revolutionary soldier, George Noteware, giving the line of descendants including
those residing in Owego. Members of the DAR and others interested in tracing family
trees will find this record outstanding. Mr. Cafferty’s article follows:
In the 18th Century Germany was composed of nearly 300 sovereignties, or states,
each of which maintained a court and a military force. Among there were Hesse-Cassel,
Hesse-Hanon, Brunswick, Waldeck, Anholt-Zerbst, Etc.
England lacking a sufficient number of native soldiers to prosecute her war against
the American Colonies in 1775 appealed to Russia for 20,000 seasoned troops: but without
success. Two of the German sovereignties offered to furnish England trained soldiers
for hire, soon after hostilities broke out.
Jan. 9, 1776, 4,300 Brunswick troops were hired by England, augmented later to 5,723
only 2,708 of whom ever returned to Germany. Jan. 15, 1776, 12,805 Hesse-Cassel troops
were hired, which later increased to 16,992, of whom 10,492 returned home after the war.
2,038 Hesse-Hanon troops, 2,353 Auspach-Bairentn troops, 1,225 Waldeck troops, and 1,152
Anholt-Zerbert troops were eventually hired, making the total number of German soldiers
sent to America 29,867, of whom 17,313 returned home, the remainder either having died
or remained in America to become citizens. This venture cost England about nine million
dollars.
In the early ages of Germany a considerable portion was called Hesse, and possibly
for this reason Hessians (were named), regardless from which sovereignty they came.
These Hessians soldiers did their duty bravely and faithfully, very few deserting
despite constant inducements held out to them, nor were they the least inhuman or
rapacious – the charge that they were cruel barbarians was a mere political weapon at
the time.
Hessian Generals
Among the Hessian generals were Phillip Von Heister, Wilhelm Von Knyphansen and
Barn Von Riedesel, the latter of whom was commanding a regiment of Hesse-Hanon and
Brunswick soldiers in 1777, under the British General Burgoyne while campaigning in upper
New York state.
Oct. 17, 1777, at Saratoga Gen. Burgoyne’s army was defeated by and was surrendered
to Colonial General Gates, including nearly 6,000 soldiers. Among these were 3,116
Hessians, who were marched to Boston as prisoners of war. On Oct. 25, 1777 this cavalcade
of Hessian prisoners camped at Great Barrington, Mass. Among these Hessians was one
Yarre Notewire, who was desirous of remaining in America. When the prisoners continued
their march to Boston, Yarre, and several others, fell out and remained at Great Barrington.
This was not difficult as there was a general sentiment among the settlers and also among
the officers in charge of the prisoners to absorb these prisoners into the populace.
Yarre found work in Great Barrington and diligently applied himself to the task of
becoming a good citizen. He Americanized his name by changing it from Yarre Notewire to
George Noteware.
George made good progress and the next year, 1778, enlisted as a soldier in the
colonial army against England.
The following item appeared in 1777, during the encampment of Hessian prisoners of
war at Great Barrington, is still preserved there, and is authentic and specific regarding
Yarre Noteware. “Oct. 25, 1777, a large part of the captured army of Burgoyne was marched
through the town enroute to Boston, and encamped in the hollow of the hillside westerly
from the residence of the late Mrs. Mark Rosseter, in the northerly part of the village.
A great portion of the prisoners encamped in the south part of the village, on the level
ground lying west of the main street, and north of the road leading from the burial
ground, toward Green River.
Depressed in Spirit
The officers, amongst whom was the Hessian General Baron Riedesel, had their quarters
in the old Episcopal Church, opposite the Sedgwick Institute. General Burgoyne who was
indisposed and depressed in spirit remained here several days in the Henderson house, the
guest of Colonel Elijah Dwight.
During their stay, the prisoners were kindly treated, more so, perhaps, than would
reasonably be expected at the hands of an exasperated people. Many of the prisoners were
sick, suffering from camp fever. It is related that Capt. Truman Wheeler collected roots,
boiled them down and personally distributed the decoction among the invalids, with good
effect. One of the British officers presented Capt. Wheeler with a substantial token of
his appreciation of the kindness shown the prisoners.
A large body of Hessian soldiers formed this cavalcade, many prisoners of which fell
from the ranks and deserted, or were permitted to go at large as they marched through the
country. Some of these settled in this town and became good citizens. Amongst these was
Yarre Notewire, who in his later years here, on the 4th of July, and on other public
occasions was accustomed to shout the orders of military drill, and “hurrah for George
Washington.”
Records in the war department in Washington show that George Noteware enlisted in the
patriot army in the winter of 1778-1779, while a citizen of Great Barrington, Mass. He
was inducted into the 1st N. Y. regiment of the Line, under Capt. John Wendell and Col.
Gosse Von Schaick.
He was actively engaged in the campaign in Virginia, on the shore near the lower end
of Chesapeake Bay that resulted in the surrender of Gen. Lord Cornwallis and his 7,000
soldiers at Yorktown, Oct. 19, 1781. George continued to serve in the army until the
spring of 1783, when he was honorably discharged from service at New Windsor, not far
distant from Washington’s headquarters in the old stone house, still standing at
Newburgh, N. Y.
A War Pensioner
In 1818, George Noteware, still residing at Great Barrington, made a formal
application for a pension, based on his services as a soldier. In 1820 he consummated
his pension application by submitting an inventory of his real and personal property.
“I do solemnly swear that I was a citizen of the United States on the 18th day of
March, 1818, and I have not since that time, by gift, sale or in any manner disposed
of my property, or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it, as to bring
myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled – an act to provide for
certain persons engaged in the land and naval services of the United States, in the
Revolutionary War, passed on the 18th day of March, 1818 and that I have not, nor has
any person in trust for me any property or securities, contracts or debts due me, nor
have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule, here to annexed, and
by me subscribed – schedule of property, necessary clothing and bedding, except to with
Real estate, one house and two acres, and two rods of land, Personal estate, one cow
$15.00, one hog, $10.00, four sheep $3.00, one ax $1.00, one hoe $.25, one table $1.00,
five chairs $.50, set knives and forks $.50, one large wheel $1.00, one small wheel
$1.00, one iron kettle $1.50, one tea-pot $.12, two bowls $.12, two plates, $.12, two
plates $.12, totaling $84.11. He gave his occupation as a laborer, and stated that his
wife Huldah, living with him, was age 59 years. His pension was granted under
certificate No. 5,172.
George and Huldah Noteware
George Noteware was born in 1755 in Germany and probably in the state of Hesse-Cassel.
He came to America in1776 as a Hessian Soldier. He died Aug. 21, 1825, at South Apalachin,
N. Y. He married April 22, 1786, Huldah Kline at her howe town Salisbury, Litchfield Co.,
Conn. Huldah was born in 1761 and died Aug. 1, 1840 at the home of her son Daniel Noteware,
as a result of asthma and dropsy. Both were buried in the little cemetery on the south
edge of the Noteware farm, just north of the country schoolhouse. The writer secured a
government soldier’s headstone and erected it and Huldah’s headstone in the South Apalachin
Cemetery.
Her will was dated June 23, 1840 and is recorded in the book of Wills E-2 at the
Tioga Co. court house. In 1828, she was granted a soldier’s widow’s pension of $80. per
year, her husband George, died intestate, and son, John Noteware, was executor of the estate.
Original Noteware Home
From 1777 to sometime before 1786, the year he was married, George lived in Great
Barrington. After marrying, they lived in Sheffield, five miles south of Great Barrington.
Jan. 11, 1796 he purchased a dwelling house and one acre and two rods of land on the
western edge of Great Barrington, which they soon occupied. They later purchased an
adjoining one acre of land. They were living here in 1820, and up to the time they
removed to South Apalachin, which was prior to 1825.
Some of their children and their families had preceded them to New York State and
they came to live with their son John Noteware when George was nearly 70 years of age.
John located at South Apalachin, where later lived his son, George, then George’s son,
Wallace, and finally Wallace’s son, Clayton Noteware, who sold the farm out of the
Noteware family, to John Murphy, who now resides there. This property is one of the
finest on the Apalachin Creek.
Here George Noteware died in 1825. Widow Huldah continued to live with her son
John, and later with her other children. Her final home was with her son Daniel, where
she died in 1840, and who was the executor of her estate. NOTEWARE No. 3.. .. .. …. ..
