I am still looking for information about Thomas Archer born April 28, 1795 in Danube, NY, and his parents Mathias (spelling varies) Archer and Elizabeth Morphey. Family legend says that he was a Mohawk Indian (one group lived in Danube at that time), but I have information that makes me doubt that. I believe he is the same Thomas Archer listed in the Geisenberg Church Records as follows:
From Geisenberg Church Records, Children of Mattheus and Elisabeth (Archer):
Thomas ger. d 28ten Aprill 1795 getauft 9ten May 1795, p.11 (127)

( Snyder, John G. NY HERKIMER CO. STARK 323 1850 )
I know the German church often baptised Indians into their church, so the German language here makes some sense. I also know there were Archers who came here from Ireland and with Elizabeth Morphey as the wife of Mathias, that makes sense. There were a few Mathias Archer's in the NYC area. Thomas Archer lived in Stark, NY for quite a while with his wife Jemima Stevens or Kinsman. Thomas was a veteran of the War of 1812.
