(Witness) Baptism3 October 1703 He was witnesses to the baptism of Anna Slingerlant on 3 October 1703 at First Reformed Dutch Church, Schenectady, Albany County, New York; Witnesses: Jan Mebie and Anna Borsboom.11 
Residencebetween 1706 and 1724 Jan Pieterse Mabee lived between 1706 and 1724 at Mabee Farm, Rotterdam Junction, Schenectady County, New York. The Jan Pieterse Mabee farm in Rotterdam Junction, Schenectady County, NY is recorded by State of New York historians as having been first occupied in 1670 at what was then at the western extreme of settlement in the Mohawk Valley. A national Historical Register Site, it has been in continual residential use ever since that date. It was originally owned by one Daniel Janse van Antwerpen, a Schenectady fur trader, farmer and land speculator- who sold the farm to Jan Mabee in 1706. The farm remained in the ownership of Mabee and his descendants for 287 years passing by will until January of 1992 when George E. Franchere of Dunedio, Florida, the last Mabee family heir, respecting the wishes of his mother and aunt, donated it to the Schenectady County Historical Society for public use, display, and preservation.
The ancient residential structures are three in number: a Stone House built in about 1680 and expanded in 1709; a wood frame Mabee Inn, operated as a hotel catering to river men from about the years 1730 to 1820; and a brick/half frame Slave Quarters, apparently constructed in about 1730 upon the stone foundations of the earliest structure built by about 1670. In about 1870 an enclosed porch was added tying the Inn to the Stone House.
The fur trading monopoly belonged to residents of Albany and the earliest structure was apparently a cellar hole house used as an illicit fur trading post. In the 1660's Van Antwerpen was charged with trading on at least two occasions and fined so it is possible the cellar hole structure predates the year 1670. The height of the stone foundations of the Slave Quarters cellar, the fireplace in that cellar, and the cellar windows extending originally about 20 inches below the present ground level and later partially filled with masonry, all suggest the original use of the foundations. That the cellar hole house was occupied during construction of the Stone House is shown by the original Stone House entrance door, later converted to a window, located close to the cellar house entryway.
Photographs taken in 1909 prior to the dredging of the Mohawk for the Barge canal show that the river periodically flooded the farm. for that reason, dirt removed from the cellar hole of the Stone House had not been carted away but had been used to raise the level of the ground. When the Inn and Slave Quarters were built in about 1730, the dirt removed from the cellar hole of the Inn had been similarly used. It was in about 1730 also that the Slave Quarters building was built as a two story structure on the foundations of the original structure, the cellar windows partially closed, and the land raised against flooding.
Documentation for the above is scanty. Court records and land patents; deeds of sale, wills, and inventories of estates; family letters and business records; local histories; records of other cellar holes houses; artifacts such as a sign for the Mabee Inn, all contribute to the above account. There are indications that at times family members occupied the Slave Quarters and the Inn. Much of the evidence is soft and dates are approximate. Archaeologic investigations and closer inspection of documents may harden up some information, but much is and will remain well-informed guesswork from what evidence is at hand.12

Death*1 May 1925 She died on 1 May 1925 at Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho, at age 74; of pneumonia.24,25
oObitMay 1925  In May 1925 at Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho, the obituary of Mary Amanda Rufus read: Mary Amanda Maybee, 75, pioneer of the west, and a grand little woman, died Thursday night of pleura pneumonia.. She had been suffering for a month or more with a severe colic, which finally settled in her lungs and no medical power was able to stay the disease. Her son, John W. Maybee, came over from Bighole basin, and her daughter and her husband, Mr. And Mr. Jan Burdett came in from Kellogg. to be at the funeral. Mrs. Maybee had been living at Salmon, keeping house for her grandchildren who were in the city schools, and at the close of the term had intended to return to Bighole, where she owned ranchland.
She was born Nov. 4, 1850. Marrying early, she went with her husband by ox team, soon after the close of the civil war, to the big woods of Minn., where they lived some years, and several children were born. Thence, in 1879, they moved by ox team to the Black Hills, soon after the Indian wars had abated. On the way thither, at Burbank, Minn. a fire destroyed their tent, and one child, a little girl, died, being overcome by smoke. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Maybee again moved west, coming with her children to the Bighole basin, and taking up land. Her boys, John, Billie and Bert, were in Salmon during the Thunder Mountain boom, John making his residence in Thunder Mountain, and the others, together with Jim Hash, Mahoney, and John Herron, ran pack trains to the gold camp. Billie and Bert died during the world war, the former in British Columbia and the latter in Deer Lodge. The children in Salmon are orphans of Billie Maybee.
Deceased is survived by three sisters, one living in Boston and another in Los Angeles. She was a splendid woman, courageous, and strong for the upbuilding of the country – always pioneering in the wilderness, and keeping the brave and loving family together. Her husband and his brothers had been veterans of the civil war and all her sons were veterans of the Spanish war. They loved their country, and had this laudable trait drilled into them by the mother, whose death they now mourn. Mrs. Maybee was a member of the Methodist Church and a firm believer in Christianity however, her life at remote places on the frontier has ever precluded the possibility of her regular attendance upon worship.

Anecdote* Remembrances by Barbara Maybee Carter
My great uncle, John Wilbur Maybee (usually called Jack) was born June 24 1874 in Yellow Medicine Minnesota. His older brother was Herbert (called Bert) born March 24 1873 in Yellow Medicine. Younger than Jack were Majesta Pearl, born about 1875, who died when aged about 15 months when a prairie fire swept toward the tent they were using as a house. Jack says they were moving to the big woods of Minnesota. Their father, Milo was able to save her from the fire, but she succumbed to the gases. The next child was my father, Orlow William (called Billie), then came Stella born December 12, 1880. (Jack says they were awaked one morning before Christmas to see a wonderful present, and it was a girl baby).
Jack says that when he was a year old the family had to kill millions of grasshoppers that were eating up the crops.
Stella apparently was a frail baby and concern for her health sent the family south. For a short while the family lived 3 or 4 miles about Yankton, South Dakota. Jack says that his mother, Mary Amanda, packed up what they would need on their trip and the rest was shipped to Sauk Lake by railroad. The horses, Prince and Texas were hooked to the covered wagon. Billie, Bert and Jack went to school while there and all learned to swim, row a boat or paddle a canoe.

Paraphrasing from a semi-autobiographical book that Jack wrote in the late 1920s
Jack said that an Indian came in March of 1881 and told Milo, using signs and gestures that they needed to leave the area. Milo asked him and his family to come in and eat. The Indian did not even want to unload his ponies. Their belongings were loaded on poles, one end of which trailed on the snow. The loads had crosspieces to hold them together. Milo whistled to Mary Amanda like a whippoorwill and she came and gave the horses some hay and then Milo said. "Get supper as quick as you can for all hands" and Milo started to harness the horses. Soon they had on the hayrack and a load of hay and corn stalks. There was a feed box on behind the cow's calf so that the cow would follow. The family and the Indian's family ate quickly, and then they tied the horses and started for the bluffs. Mama packed quilts and washed the dishes quickly. It was 3 or 4 miles to the top of the bluffs. Jack was just a child and was terrified. He was sure that they Indians were going to kill them all. Jack jumped off the wagon to get his dog's dish and was left behind for a while. Milo realized he was missing and turned around to find him. Jack kept walking until he found them again and his dad and the Indian were so glad to see him that they both gave him a big hug.
They wrapped the cold boy in a blanket and Milo sang "The Hat Me Father Wore", and "Marching Through Georgia". He had never held Jack so tight before.
Pretty soon they came in sight of the fire. Bert met them and told them that there was a big dam of ice up the Missouri River, the water backing up higher and higher and when the ice broke everything would be washed away."
Jack's said his family moved to Sauk Lake, Minnesota.. The three boys attended school there for about 2 years. They next reached a town ‘on the father of the waters north of Sauk Lake'. (This could likely have been Brainerd, Crow Wing, Minnesota. It fits the general geographical description and Jack's obituary says that the came from there.)
Apparently Jack traveled with a peddler for a while in the summer. He says that the man also helped him with his lessons in the winter. He says when they came to a place with a big barn and little house, he talked to the man. If the house was big and the barn small, the talked to the woman. The peddler could read the sign language the Indians used. Sometimes they would help themselves to produce out of the farmer's field. (A common practice at the time.)
One day in 1886 (at age 12) Jack got in a fight over a kitten with some boys. He wanted to save the kitten and take it home. The other boys wanted to kill it. It ended with them throwing rocks and so on at each other. Jack threw a piece of crockery at one boy and it blinded him. The next day while he was in school a big policeman came and said he had come to get Jack. He was taken to the courthouse. When they took him home his mother wrote a letter, which was taken to the sawmill. Then the policeman told him he could go home. Milo talked to a lawyer until late in the evening. His brother Bert woke Jack up and gave him a sign to be very quiet. Bert had two packs made up and they were off to the big swamps. They came to a log cabin. Bert said that if anyone came Jack was to hide in a ditch covered with brush. After a while, Jack's peddler found them. The boys wanted to know about mama and papa and their family. The peddler said that Milo was fighting the case to a finish in the courthouse. But the bonds were no good and the best thing was for them to help Jack get out of the state. Mary Amanda told the peddler that if he found the boys to give them his money and clothes and send them to Montana. The father of the boy who had been blinded was offering a reward for Jack.
Plans were made for Jack to go to Montana with a family going west, pretending to be their brother. He didn't get along with all of the girls, but there was one little girl who sang to him to help him feel better. Mary Amanda sold a lot of starch to get him clothing ‘like a Montana boy'. Bert gave him a big kiss and hug and then Jack headed west on the train. Jack said he knew he dared not cry in front of all the girls, even if he lost the whole family.
Jack Sharp met Jack at a station. He says Jack Sharp was about 5'6" tall and weighed about 140 pounds. He made straight for Jack and they hugged. Jack says that he wrote the family in care of Bert. His book/journal ends in 1888.5
