Onondaga Historical Association Mortuary Records with Genealogical Notes OF THE Town of Spafford Onondaga County, New York BY Captain George Knapp Collins PUBLISHED BY Onondaga Historical Association DBHLER PRESS 1017 ( ;^:"'i \^ A"^ f^ INTRODUCTION There are nine burial places within the town of Spaftord, six public and three private, none of which have been incorporated, although some steps have been taken in that direction in two instances, but as yet there is no public record of any act of that kind. Of the six public cemeteries two, known as the old Borodino and the Nunnery Ceme- teries, have been abandoned and are now in disuse, leaving four, one at Borodino, one at Spafford Comers, one at Cold Brook, and one at Spafford Hollow, still in public use and in fair condition. Of the three private burial plots, known as the Davis, Lewis, and Stanton Yards, only the latter is now in the possession and keeping of the family making use of it, and is in fair condition, but in the case of the other two, which have gone out of the possession of the original families for whose use they were set apart, they are sadly neglected and gone to waste, as such plots sooner or later always will be under similar circumstances. Outside of the places enumerated above, there is a single grave of a Mrs. Parker, on the Breed Farm on Lot No. 11, Tully, and there is said to be one or two unmarked graves on Lot 77, Marcellus ; but as to these, in the absence of stones to designate them, even the names of those interred cannot now be ascertained. Just north of the town line, in the adjacent town of Marcellus, is a public cemetery connected with the Thorn Hill Baptist Church, which is quite generally used by the people residing in the northern end of this town as a burial place for their dead. The tombstone records of this Ceme- tery also appear in the following pages, as a full statement of the dead of this town would be incomplete without them. In closing this brief introduction it seems proper to say that, in the preparation of the following pages, it become necessary to visit the several burial places located in this town, and observe their condition. It appears that, in many 4 ONONDAGA HISTOEICAL ASSOCIATION instances, private care and attention has been bestowed upon portions of the several general cemeteries now in use, but there has been no general or systematic care and atten- tion given to these burial places, such as the enlightened and progressive spirit of the present age seems to demand. These four public cemeteries, now in use, should be incor- porated, and proper officials appointed, who will receive the generous gifts which tender and loving hearts are always willing to make, for purposes of this kind, and judiciously expend the same in beautifying, preserving and caring for these sacred places, made hallowed by the ashes of our beloved dead.

Born March 17, 1771, died August 13, 1849. Jonathan Berry came from Cambridge, Washington Co., N. Y., and settled on Lot 12, Sempronius, in March, 1803. He remained there until March 3, 1810, when he purchased the States Hundred Acres on Lot 89, Marcellus, of Daniel Tinkham. Soon after he took up his residence near where Jeremiah Olmstead now resides on this purchase, and re- mained there until the time of his decease. Mr. Berry was a leading business man, and without question dealt more extensively in real estate in his adopted town than any of his fellow townspeople. Among other transactions he pur- chased nearly all of lots 10 and 12, Sempronius, and sold out in parcels to suit his purchasers, who cleared and settled upon the lands. His real estate transactions, however, were not confined to the vicinity of his residence, but extended to all parts of the town, without reference to his individual uses and purposes. The public records indicate that he had a natural born taste for speculation in real estate, which to a certain extent met with success, for at his decease he left a very valuable property of this kind, to be distributed among the members of his family.

He was frequently called upon by his townspeople to fill town ofl[ices, and seldom during his active life did his name fail to appear in the list of town oflficials. Among the offices held by him were Supervisor, Assessor, Poor Master, School Commis- sioner, Inspector of Schools and Town Trustee, but most freuuently his name appears in the town books as Inspector of Schools; in fact for many years teachers in the schools of Spafford obtained their permit to follow this vocation from Joseph Bulfinch.

Died October 5, 1880, age 77 years. " For the great day of his wrath cometh. And who shall be able to stand." (Thompson Burdick w^as born in the town of Westerly, R. I., September 1, 1753, and was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, serving as a member of Capt. Samuel Ward's Co., Col. Varnum's 1st Regt. R. I. Line (Continentals) from May, 1775, to January 1, 1777, participating in the Siege of Boston, the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Tren- ton, and receiving a gunshot wound in the battle of White Plains. He was discharged from the Continentals at Cross- wick Meeting House, in the State of Pennsylvania, but afterwards served on different tours of duty as part of the Militia of his native State, among which was one made in an endeavor to drive the British from Newport, R. I. On SPAFFORD MORTUARY RECORDS WITH GENEALOGICAL NOTES 45 this latter occasion he came near losing his life, from drown- ing off Judith Point, R. I., by the capsizing of barges used in carrying soldiers employed in that expedition; sixteen in all wei'e thrown into the water, of whom only eight were saved, among the latter was Thompson Burdick. Mr. Burdick v/as fouth in line of descent from Robert Burdick, the first settler in this country, and the common ancestor so far as known of the Burdick family generally in America. Tradition says that Robert Burdick came to this countiy from a small village in England, near the border line of Wales, but at just what time is not recorded. In November, 1652, he was baptized at Newport, R. I., and four years af terv/ards was made Freeman at the same place. In 1661 a com.pany was formed, at the latter place, to colonize what was afterwards kno^vn as Westerly, R. I. Of these were Robert Burdick and Tobias Saunders. In Nov- ember of that year, Mr. Burdick and Mr. Saunders made a clearing, and put up a log house at the latter place, but were promptly arrested by order of Governor John Endicott, of Massachusetts, carried prisoners to Boston, tried and fined forty pounds apiece as trespassers, and ordered to give bonds to keep the peace. They were kept in prison several months, during which time they appealed to England for redress, but in the end the colonization company paid their fines, and they returned to Rhode Island. On November 2, 1655, Robert Burdick married at Newport, R. I., Ruth Hub- bard, daughter of Samuel and Tacy (Cooper) Hubbard, who was said to be the first white child born in Springfield, Mass., (January 11, 1640) , and by her had nine children who arrived at maturity: Robert, Hubbard, Thomas, Naomi, Ruth, Benjamin, Samuel, Tacy and Deborah. Samuel Hub- bard and his wife Tacy Cooper, and their three daughters, Ruth, Rachel and Bethia were among the first to embrace the doctrines of the Seventh Day Baptist in this country, and to them, more than to any other persons, belongs the credit of the establishment of that denomination in America. Robert Burdick, after passing through various vicissitudes incident to the settlement of the Narragansett country, in Rhode Island, finally established himself at Westerly, R.

John Collins, M. D. (son of John and Lucy (Burdick Collins). Born February 10, 1804, died August 15, 1853. (" Dr. John Collins was born in Brookfield, Madison Co.,New York; graduated from Hamilton Academy, and from the Medical College at Castleton, Vt, in 1829; came to Spafford in 1830, and practiced medicine there until his decease. On his paternal side he was of the seventh gener- ation, in a continuous line of succession of Johns from Henry, starchmaker, and Ann, his wife, who came in the ship " Abigail," with their three children and five servants, June 29, 1635, from Stepney Parish, London, England, and settled in Essex Street, Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. 66 ONONDAGA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION Henry Collins was possessed of property, was a man of influence and more than ordinary intelligence, and his name is often spoken of in connection with the early transactions of Essex Coimtj^ He was at one time a member of the General Court ; was one of the men in charge of the public lands, and his name on one or two occasions is spoken of as an advocate, employed in the defense of persons tried in Court for public offenses. By his wife, Ann, he had four children: Henry, John, Margery, and Joseph; the latter probably born on shipboard during the passage to America, as his name is not mentioned in the Custom House Clear- ance bill, or in public records of Essex County. John Collins (son of Henry and Ann) , was a ship owner, and was lost at sea with a son bearing his name. By his wife, Abigail Johnson, he had sixteen children, Mary, John, Samuel, Abigail, John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Mary, Daniel, Nathaniel, Hannah, Sarah, Lois, Alice and William, twelve of w'hom survived him. The name of the youngest, a young child still in the arms of the mother, was on the death of the father changed by her from William to John and afterwards was so called. This John Collins, who was a Quaker, married Susanna Daggett and, probably on account of religious persecution, moved to Rhode Island, and with five others took up a tract of 3,000 acres of wild land, in what is now the northeastern part of the town of Hopkinton, Washington Co. Of Susanna Daggett, who was born in Saco, Me., tradi- tion has handed down this story, which years ago found its way into print. When a small child, she was taken to the wigwam of an Indian Chief by his squaw, who found her lost in the woods. Late at night the Chief, returning home, told the squav*^ of a plan to exterminate the whites. She cautioned him, saying there was a little pale face sleeping in a bed of skins in the wigwam. The Chief then told her the child must die, to which she remonstrated, saying that she had promised to take her home in the morning. The Chief, passing a firebrand over the face of Susanna and observing no signs of consciousness, spared her life, and she was able afterwards to give her friends timely warning of the plans of the Indians. From John and Susanna are descended a large share of the numerous Collins families who have resided or originated in Washington Co., R. L SPAFFORD MORTUARY RECORDS WITH GENEALOGICAL NOTES 67 Their descendants have been scattered to all parts of the Northern States, and everywhere have been classed among the reputable men and women, in the communities in which they have resided. They have been represented in all pro- fessions and business pursuits, and notwithstanding- the Quaker stock, in times of war have contributed generously of their numbers to the armies and navies of the United States. This John Collins, by his wife Susanna, had ten children : Rebecca, Hazekiah, Sarah, Jedediah, Lydia, John, Ebenezer, Benjamin, Samuel, and Abigail of whom: John Collins, the great grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a Quaker preacher of unusual talents, and great power and influence in the denomination to which he be- longed. According to the custom of this sect his remains and that of his wife, Mehitable Elizabeth Bowen, now repose in unmarked graves, in the " burial yard " near the little Quaker Church one mile west of the Village of Hopkinton, R. I, To John and Mehitable were born nine children, six in Hopkinton, and three of the youngest in the town of Ston- ington.

After arriving in Brookfield he was united in marriage with Lucy Burdick, daughter of Thompson and (Tabitha (Wilcox) Burdick, another first settler from Stonington, Conn., and a Revolutionary soldier in the 1st Regt. of Continentals of the Rhode Island Line. Lucy Burdick, wife of John Collins, was of the fifth genera- tion by descent from Robert Burdick, one of the first settlers in the town of Westerly, R. L, and one of the first Deputies for that town in the General Court of Rhode Island. He came from England between 1633 and 1650, and prior to coming to Westerly, was a freeman in Newport, R. I.

(In 1826, at the time of the decease of his wife, Mr. Palmer resided on the East Side Hill, on Lot 13, Sempronius, 198 ONONBAGA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION but in 1829, when he sold the lands he owned on that lot, he resided in Homer, N. Y., and his second wife, Sabrina, joined him in the deed.) (Stanton Yard.) Lyman Palmer, son of Dyer and Samantha Palmer. Died April 3, 1826, age 10 months, 10 days. (Stanton Yard.) No genealogy of Spafford families would be complete without reference to Gilbert Palmer and his son, John Palmer, who were, without question, the first settlers within the limits of the present town, although we have no recora that any dead of this family were deposited in any of our cemeteries. Mr. Joshua V. H. Clark, in his excellent history of the County of Onondaga, says : Mr. Palmer came here in the Fall of 1794 from Dutchess or Westchester County, N. Y., and settled on Lot 76, Marcellus, for which he served as a soldier in the Revolution, and he gives a very graphic description of an accident which befell his son, John, by the felling of a tree, etc., a story which is familiar to all readers of that and subsequent histories of this county. We have no data at hand to prove the incorrectness of the date which Mr. Clark fixes, as the time of Mr. Palmer's arrival here, but as he is incorrect in some of his statements about Mr. Palmer, we think it possible he may have been misinformed on that subject. His deed of Lot 76, excepting State's Hun- dred Acres, is dated September 21, 1792, and is from Thomas Ostrander, the original soldier, who served for the lot. In this deed he is described as a farmer from York- town, or Amawalk, Westchester County, N. Y. Mr. Palmer probably was a soldier of the Revolution, and we are inclined to the belief that he came originally from Connecti- cut, where his name appears (or another of the same name) in the Militia of that State, for the reason that many of the Palmers in this State came originally from Stonington, Conn. The name of Gilbert Palmer also appears in the Militia of this State, and he possibly may have served in both States ; but no Gilbert Palmer served in New York in any regiment or levy, entitling him to draw bounty lands in this State. It seems to us more probable that Palmer came here earlier than the Fall of 1794. He conveyed from time to time the lands which he owned, but in no conveyance was he joined by a wife ; he was probably a widower while he SFAFPORD MORTUARY REGORSS WITH OBNEALOGICAL NOTES 199 resided here. In one deed of lands on lot 76, he conveyed to a Samuel Palmer, — this was in 1806, — but the next year the latter and wife, Elizabeth, conveyed away these lands, and no more is known of Samuel, or of any record that the two Palmers named in this deed were related to each other. In his deeds to John Palmer he speaks of him as his son. We have no record of any children of Gilbert Palmer other than his son, John, and all we know of him is, that he came from Westchester County, was a tailor, resided on Lot 76, Marcellus, until about 1814, that he then sold out and moved into the village of Borodino, and carried on his avocation of tailor there until the Spring of 1819, and then moved to Hannibal, Oswego County, N. Y. Mr. Clark says Gilbert Palmer died about 1839. It is possible that he and his son, John, both died in the latter place. The given name of John Palmer's wife was Rachel. A Mr. Ziba Palmer, at an early date, resided in Spafford Hollow, near the head of Otisco Lake, who is credited with a family of twenty-two children, but of him we have no further record. PARKER.

RATHBONE. Valentine Rathbone and his son, James Rathbone, came to this town from Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Mass., in the Fall of 1801, and settled on fifty acres in the southwest corner of Lot 69, Marcellus, of which the former had a deed. In March of the next year Valentine Rathbone conveyed, without wife, these lands to James Rathbone, and the latter, from time to time thereafter, added to this purchase other lands on this and adjoining lots, until he owned at one time a very large farm of 336 acres, on lots 68, 69, and 74, Mar- cellus. James Rathbone married Margaret Ashley, and by her had the following children: James Harvey, married Clorinda Pardee, he died in Spafford and was buried in Borodino Cemetery, no stone; Niles, married and died in Illinois; Charlotte, married Conrad Hillebert, brother of John C. Hillebert, of this town ; Clorinda, married Edmund C. Weston, both dead, and buried in Borodino Cemetery; Sophia, married Peleg Gifford, died near Utica, N.

Valentine Rath- bone and his son, James Rathbone, were clothiers by trade, the former having built the first clothing mill in Pittsfield about 1768, and the latter built a similar mill in Factory- Gulf, on Lot 74, Marcellus, soon after he came here. Val- entine Rathbone was a prominent man in Pittsfield, and there organized a Baptist Church about 1772, and minis- tered over it as Elder until about the time he came here. At one time he was converted to the doctrine of the Shakers, but afterwards abandoned that sect and worked against that faith. He was also prominent at Pittsfield in political affairs, especially in Revolutionary times. After the sale of his possessions on lot 69, Marcellus, to his son James in 1802, he purchased 300 acres on lot 54, Marcellus, and settled on the highv/ay now known as the Skaneateles and Hamilton Turnpike, about one mile north of the village of Marietta, where he remained until the period of his death, which occurred in February 1814, at the advanced age of 90 years. According to family tradition, Valentine Rath- bone was bom in Stonington, Conn., December 23, 1724, and probably was descended from John Rathbone, one of the first settlers and sixteen proprietors of Block Island (New Shoreham, R. I.) In his will, dated November 17, 1808, probated February 17, 1814, he mentions his wife, Tabitha Rathbone, and his children: Saxon, (executor;,. Joshua (then dead), Daniel (then dead), James, Benjamin, Valentine, Jr., daughters Niles (then dead), Susanna, Eunice, Cynthia, and his son Reuben (then dead) . Among the list of soldiers of the American Revolution mentioned in the history of Pittsfield, Mass., as serving' from that town, are the following: Daniel, James, Reuben, Valentine, Jacob, Sylvester and Charles T. Rathbone; the last three possibly may have been grandchildren of Valen- tine, the others were his sons. RAYMOND. Hannah, daughter of Nathan and Mariah (Williamson) Raymond.
