Residence
LDS film 534,201.Residence (family)
From "The Berkshire Hills" pages 181-182 found at Heritage Quest Online and from the "Race Family Genealogy of Mount Washington, Mass" by Donna Race Kneip 2006 (http://genealogy.stellarwinds.org/Family%20Originations/Race%20correction.htm):On April 14, 1755 violence erupted and William Rees/Race Sr. was shot and killed by the Livingston’s militia while trying to protect his home and family. Six of the Dutch settlers in Mount Washington were burned out of their homes, John Darby, Christopher Brasee, Henry Brasee, Simon Burton and Andrew Race. These and other settlers had to flee to the residences of their relatives who lived in nearby towns. (Source: Herbert Keith Paper copied from Massachusetts Archives). It took officials 17 years to resettle the land and pave the way for Mount Washington’s incorporation in 1779 as a township subject to the law of Massachusetts. Race Mountain in Mount Washington was named in his honor according to family history.
From the study done by Donald Goodman: "on 7 May 1757 a party of men from Livingston Manor, NY, pulled down and burned the buildings of six families including those of Christopher and Hendrick Bresee". This related to the disputed area where in 1753 Christopher and Hendrick Bresee and their wifes lived west of Sheffield on Mount Washington in the disputed area called the Gore.
