Flintlock shot gun & rifle.  Interesting, in Schoharie County there have been
are reports of a number of double barrel (over & under -- rotating barrels)
rifles.  I think this is from the influence of Tim Murphy, who saved the valley
in 1782 & settled here after the War.  On other gun would be Brown Bess & the
Charlottesville muskets.
