Samuel Clyde and Capt. Jost Deggert. DAVID,JOHAN JOST,NICOLAS,PETER P and DAVID JR SCHUYLER also served in the same regiment. Jacob was taken prisoner by the British during the Rev. War. There are two accounts of his capture. The 1st account was given in a letter written by ELIAS SCHUYLER(a grandson of Jacob) to his daughter in 1893 which appeared in the Chicago Inter Ocean in 1896. "JACOB SCHUYLER" was one of the guards stationed at Ft. Herkimer. His family was in the fort and he worked his farms nearby as occasion offered. While in the fields, he was surprized and captured by the indians and taken prisoner to Canada, leaving his wife and five small children, the youngest a babe of 3 months." The second account : In the fall of 1780 JACOB SCHUYLER was stationed at Fort Stanwix under Capt. Walter Vrooman. The Capt. was ordered to take a detachment ot Chittenango Creek and destroy boats and stores left there by Sir John Johnson's forces of Tories, Canadians and Indians. The force had descended on the Mohawk Valley from LaChine, an Island on the St. Lawrence River, and laid waste to Schoharie Valley. Gen Robt. Van Renselaer pursued Sir Johnson to Herkimer and from there sent orders to Ft, Stanwick. Captain Vrooman accomplished his mission but was surprized on Oct. 23 while at dinner by a detachment of Col. John Buttler's Rangers who were sent to intercept them by Sir Johnson. Among the captured were JACOB,DAVID and HON YOST SCHUYLER. Capt. Vrooman and his party were taken to Montreal, Canada and held two years.
