the Rev. Johannes Jacobus as a<br />

village Tarajorees. Being built <strong>of</strong><br />

stone, it was used as a place <strong>of</strong><br />

refuge from attack by hostile<br />

Indians, and during the<br />

American Revolution from<br />

Tories and their Indian allies.<br />

Fort Ehle no longer exists,<br />
