About Claas Symonse Groot

from: A History of the Schenectady Patent in the Dutch and English Times 9: Burning of Schenectady

http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/resources/patent/09.html

"The attacking party consisted of 114 Frenchmen, 80 savages from the Sault and 16 Algonquins, — in all 210 men."

"The commander was Lemoine de Sainte Helene, assisted by Lieutenant D'Aillebout de Mantet. They started from Montreal on the 17th of January, and after suffering incredible hardships on the way, arrived in sight of the town about 11 o'clock at night on the 8th February. It was their intention to make the attack later, but the intense cold forced them to enter the town at once."
