JORDANVILLE — Motorists traveling along state Route 167 just north of Holy Trinity Monastery may notice a monument at the side of the road.

Placed under the Henderson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the monument bears a plaque that reads: “In memory of the brave patriots who suffered and died in the massacre of Andrustown in this vicinity on July 18, 1778. This tablet is erected by the descendants of the seven families forming the first settlement: Bell, Crim, Frank, Hoyer, Lepper, Osterhout, Stauring.”

Historical markers and a pair of cemeteries high on a hill overlooking Route 167 are all that remain of the 18th century settlement known as Andrustown.
