Excerpt from The History of William Feeter: A Soldier in the War of American Independence, and of His Father, Lucas Vetter, the Ancestor of the Feeter-Feder-Feader-Fader Families in the United States and Canada, With Genealogy of the Family
While preparing the material for a paper read in 1898 before the Herkimer County Historical Society, I gathered from many records genealogical data relating to the family of William Feeter. The search was extended to Germany and Canada and the notes thus collected formed the nucleus of the appended genealogy.
The coat of arms was obtained from Mr. Lucas Vetter, of Musberg, Germany, and verified by correspondence with members of other German branches of that family. It can also be found in Siebmacher's German Heraldry. In southern Germany many families of the yeomanry and free peasantry have coats of arras and use them to this day, without making any claim of belonging to the nobility.
It is not claimed that the family genealogy is complete, and I would request that corrections and additions be sent to me for future use.
I take this occasion to express my thanks for assistance to many members of the family with whom I have corresponded, especially to Jacob W. Feeter, Esq., of New York, Abram E. Bellinger, Esq., of Little Falls, Mrs. James Weatherwax, of Manheim, and Mrs. Elizabeth Staring, of Little Falls, and to acknowledge with gratitude that Messrs. G. Herbert Carman Feader, of Fleming, Assa., Canada, and Mr. Howard C. Fader of Hainsville, Ontario, Canada, have done all the work relating to the Canadian branches of the family.
