In addition to Abraham Utter (1716-1779)and his immediate family [wife, eight children and a negro]; ten other families left Dutchess County, NY with him on April 5, 1750 to settle in the Wyoming Valley near present day Wilkes-Barre, PA. Their decision to do so was a disaster as the majority were killed in the "first Wyoming massacre" in 1757. Some known neighbors in Wyoming were Israel Baldwin, Jonathan Mosier, Thomas Quick and Daivd Harris. Has anyone ever seen a list of the ten families who left Dutchess County with the Utter family in 1750?
