INTROIDUCTION. lu presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Allegany County," the publisher desires to re. turn his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly aided him in obtaining the information it contains, and rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of the papers published in the county, for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to the author's efforts ; and for essential aid in furnish- ing material for the work. Many others have placed us under similar obligations, but as credit has been given in most of such cases, as well as in works from which we quoted, in connec- tion with the substance of the information gleaned from each, we omit special mention here ; while still others have kindly volunteered their assistance, to all of whom we tender our grateful acknowledgment. That errors have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given is probable ; and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we haVe exercised more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book making. Of such a&feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata^ following the Introduction. It was designed to give a brief history of all the Church INTRODVCTIOK. organizations in the county, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who alone were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit many or indefinitely delay the completion of the work. "We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. The names it embraces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited render practicable. Each agent is furnished with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every road, and call at every farm house and place of business in the town, in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned whenever possible. The map of the county was printed with great care by Gordon & Lees, of Syracuse, and will, it is believed, prove a valuable acquisition to the work. The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men and firms of this and other counties ; and we most cheerfully commend them to the patronage of those under whose obser- vation these pages may come. "While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the liberality and cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in these pages will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history of the county the scope of the work enables us to give is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject, and leave our work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor over wins from a discriminating public.

It was then and for fifteen years thereafter known as Randolph Academy. Many of the originators of this enterprise still live, and they have watched with increasing interest the results of the generous and wise policy which was then inaugurated. No stranger could visit this community without discovering everywhere a refinement and intelligence which have been fostered by this school. There is scarcely a family that has not cherished traditions of incidents which occurred when some of its members were connected with the "Old Academy." From the first, the school was of a high grade, fitting students for college when desired, and teaching always the Languages, Higher Mathematics and Sciences, in addition to the common English branches. Professors Love, Durlasd, Clark, Felton, Gibson, Marsh, Crosby, Dobbs and Post, the successive Principals, were all accomplished teachers, and most of them graduates in a college course. In 1866 Benjamin Chamberlain erected near the Academy, on a beautiful site which had been purchased through the liberality of the people, a Boarding Hall which cost fifty thousand dollars; and provided by will for the permanent endow- ment of the Institution. Its name was then changed to the CHAMBERLAIN INSTITUTE, in honor of this liberal patron of learning. Mr. Chamberlain was an uneducated man but possessed a keen, pene^ating mind, and an unusually sound and broad understanding. He belonged to that noble class of self-made men like Brown, Peabody, Vas.sar and Rich, who have laid succeeding generations under lasting obligations by making munificent provision for the advancement in education of the youth of America. The increased facilities thus given to the school enabled the Trustees to increase the number of Teachers, systematize the courses of study and make numerous improvements in the external as well as internal appointments of the Institute. This work was being pushed forward rapidly when in 1872 a fearful calamity — for a moment — paralj'zed every effort. The Boarding Hall was burned ! Then came the test of the people's love for their school. In less than a year a building was erected in every respect superior to the one destroyed. Such liberality as was shown by the citizens, we venture to say, was never surpassed under similar circumstances. The Boarding Hall is indeed a model. Many good judges have declared it their opinion that no more convenient, comfortable and tasty school building of the kind can be found. The school was probably never more prosperous than now. Its arrangements are such as to meet the wants of three classes of patrons. In the first place it fur- nishes to all the youth in this vicinity an opportunity to securq, at very moderate cost, an excellent education in all solid and ornamental studies. Again, about fifty persons can be provided with rooms for self-boarding, and thus the farmers living within a radius of twenty miles, can secure for their children such advantages as would be impossible to them in their sparsely settled neighborhoods. Scores and hundreds of the brightest scholars have been brought out in this way, and not a tew have afterwards found a wide sphere of effort and usefulness. The beautiful Boarding Hall affords ample accommodations for students from a distance. The school thus becomes a microcosm, and gathers from a variety of sources those diversified elements which tend to create among students a catholicity of spirit, not less than a generous and spirited rivalry. In such a school the scholars secure, to some extent, the benefits of travel, since new ideas and a variety of experiences must necessarily be brought together. During the existence of this school an aggregate of over five tVousand students have been in attendance. Its permanency being secured beyond a peradventure by endowment, we can reasonably expect that it will not only continue to do well the work it has been doing, but increase in power and efficiency. As an earnest of this we may note the prospective development of the Commercial Department which promises to furnish students with enlarged opportunities for obtaining a thorough business education. The following are among the advantages of this excellent In- stitution:— Located in a beautiful and healthy farming region. Employs a Faculty of ten thoroughly educated teachers. Terms lower than can be. fu rnixhed by ScluioU icithout endcrwiiient. The peculiar wants of each scholar considered and provided for by having a large number of classes in each of the Common English Branches. A delightful, safe and cultivated home for students from abroad, who live with the Principal's family and the Teachers. These are the seven Gniduaiinf/ Courses: In addition to the Common English Branches which are distributed among the different members of the Faculty, there are the following Regular Courses of Study, and each graduate of either department receives a Diploma upon graduation. 1.— The Literary and Scientific Course. I 4.— The Teachers' Normal Course. 2.— The Classical Course. .'>.— The Musical Course. 3.— The College Preparatory Course. | «.— The Commercial Course. 7.— The Course in Light Gymnastics. The Fall Term opens August 18th. Winter Term Dec. 1. Spring Term March 23. Full information of the School may be obtained by sending for a Catalogue to Prof. J. T. EDWARDS, A.

ALLEGANY COUNTY was formed from Genesee, April 7, 1806. The seventh range or western tier of townships of Steuben county was annexed March 11, 1808. A portion was re-annexed to Genesee in 1811 ; and the towns of Eagle, Pike and Genesee Falls in Wyoming county, and Portage, Nunda and Ossian in Livingston county, were taken off in 1846. It lies upon the south line of the State, west of the center, and is bounded on the north by Livingston and Wyoming counties, on the south by Pennsylvania, on the east by Steuben county, and on the west by Cattaraugus county. It is centrally distant from Albany 220 miles, and contains 1,033 square miles. The surface is mostly a hilly upland, separjferd by the deep valleys of the streams, and much of it presents ff.*e rugged character of mountains, whose highest summits are 500 to 800 feet above the valleys and 2,000 to 2,500 above tide, and whose declivities are mainly too steep for profitable cultivation. The north part is less hilly and broken. The hills terminate abruptly on the Genesee, which flows through a deep valley. Turner, in his Pioneer Histoi-y of Phelps & Oorhairi's Purchase, in refer- iug to the scenery of the southern portion of the Genesee country remarks, "that the traveller or tourist of what Mr. Williamson called the 'northern plains,' who breaks out for a summer excursion to the east, the north or the west, may be told that a day's journey to the south will bring him to a region of hill and valley, rivers and creeks, mountains and rivulets, cul- tivated fields and wild woodlands, which would satisfy any reasonable desire of the romantic and picturesque. And if health is the object of his summer wanderings, nowhere can he breathe ' freer and deeper' of a pure and invigorating atmosphere, or drink from purer springs and streams, than in all our local southern region." The drainage of its streams sufficiently indicate its elevated character. Two main ridges, extending parallel with the Gene- see River, and distant from it about ten miles form the water- shed to streams flowing into that river and the Canisteo, a tribu- tary to the Susquehanna, on the east, and Allegany River and Cattaraugus Creek, on the west. The Genesee flows in a north- J5 22 ALLEGANY COUNTY. erly direction through the central part of the county, and re- ceives as principal tributaries on the east, Rush, Wigwam, Angelica, Philips, Vandemark, Dykes, Chenunda and Cryder creeks, and on the west, Wiscoy, Cold, Six Town, Caueadea, Crawford, Black, White, Van Campens, Knight and Ford's creeks. The principal streams flowing east from the east ridge are Canisteo River and Canaseraga, Karr Valley, McHenry Valley, and Whitney Valley creeks; and those "flowing west from the west ridge are Oil, Wolf, Dodges, Deer, Little Genesee and Honeoye creeks. The rocks of the county belong to the shales and sandstones of the Portage and Chemung groups, the former appearing in the deep valleys in the north part, and the latter covering the tops of the south hills. At various localities the sandstone fur- nishes an excellent building material; and in Rushford it is quarried for grindstones. The shales in the south-west part are highly charged with bituminous matter, and explorations for oil have been made in many places. The soil upon the up- lands is generally a heavy clay, and in the valleys are extensive deposits of rich alluvium and gravelly loam. " It is," says Spaf- ford, "with justice reckoned of superior richness." Although wheat and spring grains are successfully raised, it is best adapt- ed to grazing, and the business of dairying has become one of great importance. From the census of 1865 it appears that there were six cheese factories in the county, 18,525 milch cows, 1,655,776 pounds of butter and 1,325,748 pounds of cheese pro- duced, and 250 gallons of milk sold ; while from that of 1870 it appears that there were thirty-five cheese factories, 27,849 milch cows, 1,908,721 pounds of butter and 220,880 pounds of cheese produced, and 3,397,465 gallons of milk sold. The lum- bering business, which was once very prominent, has in a great measure ceased, and the extensive pine forests which filled the valleys have mostly disappeared. On the erection of the county, courts were directed to be held at Angelica on the 2d of June, 1807 ; and by an act of March 11, 1808, the county seat was permanently located there and a court house and jail were authorized to be erected under the direction of Moses Carpenter, John Gibson and Wm. Higgins. A jail was soon after erected, but the building of the court house was delayed till 1819, up to which time courts were held in pri- vate rooms. The first county officers were Philip Church, First Judge; Jacob S. Holt, County Clerk; John Gibson, Sheriff; and Luke Goodspeed, Surrogate. The jail remained in use "till 1849, when it was superseded by a wooden structure. April 2, 1858, an act was passed providing for the immediate removal of the county seat to a point on the line of the Erie railroad, but ALLEGANY COUNTY. 23 the execution of the law was arrested by the institution of legal proceeuings in the State courts, and on the 17th of April, 1860, provision was made for two shire towns and for the reconstruc- tion and repair of the old court house at Angelica. Under the act of 18,58 a clerk's office was erected at Belmont, where it has since been maintained. The courts are now held alternately at Angelica and Belmont. The county poor house is located on a farm of 180 acres two miles east of Angelica. The building is constructed of stone, and though old, its interior presents a clean, neat and inviting appearance. The present number of inmates is sixty, for whom the building affords ample room. The main building is thirty by forty feet, with two wings, all two stories high. The building and grounds are valued at $15,000. The principal works of internal improvement arc the Erie R. R, which enters the county upon the east border, a little north of the center, and, passing in a circuitous course through the towns of Almond, Alfred, Andover, Wellsville, Scio, Amity, Friendship and Cuba, leaves it a little south of the center of the west border; the BuflFalo Branch of the Erie R. R., which cross- es the north-east corner of the county, passing through the towns of Burns and Grove; The Rochester and State Line R. R., which crosses the north-west corner of the county, in the town of Centerville ; and the Genesee Valley canal, which entets the county on^the north border, a little west of the cen- ter, and extends along the valley of the Genesee to Belfast, thence up the valley of Black Creek to NewHudson, and thence across to and down the valley of Oil Creek to the west border of the county, which it leaves contiguous to the Erie R. R., passing in its course through the towns of Hume, Caneadea, Bel- fast, New Hudson and Cuba. The Rochester, Nunda & Penn- sylvania R. R. is surveyed through the county and passes through the towns of Grove, Birdsall, West Almond, Angelica, Belfast, New Hudson, Cuba and Clarksville. This county with Chemung and Steuben compose the Tvven- ty-NinthCongressional District ; and with Livingston and Wyo- ming, the Thirtieth Senatorial District. It is in the Eighth Judicial District of the State; and forms one Assembly District, Previous to its occupancy by the whites the territory em- braced in the limits of this county formed a part of the broad domain of the Senecas, who lived in considerable numbers upon the rich alluvial flats of the Genesee, where they cultivated corn and potatoes in sufficient quantity for their subsistence, and occasionally camped and hunted upon the uplands, where they also resorted for the purpose of making maple sugar. The Indian title to the lands embraced in Phelps & Gorham's Pur- 24 ALLEGANY COUNTY. chase was extinguished by a treaty held at Buffalo Creek in 1788 ; and the title to that part embraced in the residue of the county, with the exception of the Caneadea Eeservation, was extinguished by a treaty held at " Big Tree," (Geneseo,) in 1797. The Caneadea Reservation contains sixteen square miles and lies upon both sides of the Genesee, mainly in the town of Hume, but partially in Caneadea and Granger. This was ceded to the whites at a treaty held in 1825, when the last Indian title affecting lands in this county was extinguished. In 1828 it was surveyed into lots of suitable size for farms, by Joseph Jones, a Quaker. The Indians did not leave the Eeservation till about 1830. Their principal village was in Caneadea, on the east side of the river. The eastern tier of towns in this county was included in Phelps and Gorham's Purchase; the two western tiers, in the Holland Purchase; and the two intermediate ones in the Morris Reserve. John B. Church, of New York, became the owner of 100,000 acres of the latter tract, which was bid in for him by his son Philip at a sheriff's sale held at Canandaigua in 1800, on foreclosure of mortgage held by the elder Church to secure $80,000 loaned by his agent. Gen. Alexander Hamilton, to Robert Morris. The late Judge Philip Church, of Belvidere, eldest son of John P. Church, and pioneer settler of Angelica, subsequently acquired a half interest in this tract, and mainly through his instrumentality the early settlements and improve- ments in that vicinity were stimulated and fostered. The Church tract is in the shape of a rectangle, being twenty-six miles in length from north to south, and six miles in width. It lies upon the Genesee, and upon the transit line of the Hol- land Company which forms its western boundary, and com- mences at a point on the latter about eight miles north of the Pennsylvania line. It is thus described on a map of the tract made in 1804: — "The Land is of an excellent quality, and theCountry, from the purity and abundance of the streams with which it is watered, is remarkably healthy. Produce can be transported from within sixteen miles of the Tract, down the Susquehanna in Arks to Baltimore, at two shillings per Bushel. " A Town called Angelica is laid out near the centre of the Tract with four Lots in the middle of it, upon which Church and Schools are to be erected; for the building and supporting of which 200 Acres are reserved near the Town; and as the settlement advances, 300 Acres on the North and 200 Acres on the South part of the Tract will be appropriated for a like purpose. " The proposed State Road from Catskill to Presque-Isle and New Con- necticut is already opened as far as this Tract, upon which a settlement was first commenced in March, 1804, since when a store has been estab- lished near the centre of the Tract, & a Grist and Saw-Mill erected. A LLEGA NY CO UNTY. 2 5 " The Lands will be sold at a moderate price on the following terms, which are calculated particularly to accommodate Actual iSettlers: — "Those purchasing 100 Acres and under to pay l-2(ith cash, l-20th in two years, without any interest, and the remainder in seven equal annual payments, with interest '* From 100 to 200 — 1-lOth cash, and the remainder in nine equal annual payments, with interest.

"As an assistance to settlers in building good Houses, Boards will be sold to them at a low price for their Notes, payable in 9 Months. "(Shares of the Kingston Turnpike will be taken inpayment for Land at par.) , " For further particulars apply to the subscriber, residing at Angelica, who is proprietor of part of the Tract, & duly authorized to dispose of the remainder. ' ' Philip Chfrch, " Or to his Agent, " Evert Van Wickle " The settlement of the county was commenced as early as 1795, in the spring of which year Nathaniel Dyke, a Revolu- tionary hero, located in the present town of Wellsville. In 1796 Rev. Andrew Gray, a clergyman of the Reformed Dutch Church, Wm. Gray, Joseph A. Rathbun, and Benjamin Vandemark settled in the town of Almond and commenced improvements. These are believed to be, and doubtless were, the first settlers in the county. The next year Major Moses Van Campen and Captain Matthew McHenry joined them; and these were fol- lowed soon after by Walter, Joseph, and Samuel Karr, Silas Ferry, Stephen Major, Benjamin Van Campen, brother of Moses Van Campen, Joseph Coleman and George Lockhart. These were all from Pennsylvania, and were followed at a little later day by many others from the same locality. Some of them brought their effects in a flat-bottomed scow from the place of their removal on the Susquehanna up that river and its tributaries, the Chemung and Canisteo, to the site of Hornells- ville. Soon after the settlement in Almond was commenced, a settlement was begun in Andover by Stephen Cole and James Dykes. In 1801 steps looking to the settlement of the Church Tract were taken by Judge Philip Church, who, in company with Evert Van Wickle, his local agent and surveyor, and John Gibson, John Lewis and Stephen Price, as assistants, undertook a journey into the wilderness for the purpose of exploring the country embraced in his recent purchase. On the arrival of the party at the settlement in Almond, Major Van Campen, who was familiar with the country, was readily induced to join the expedition. A pretty thorough examination of the tract 26 ALLEGANY COUNTY. was made, notwithstanding the almost constant rains and swelled streams the party encountered. Having arrived at the northwest corner of the tract, the party disbanded, and, with the exception of Judge Church and Major Van Campen, who continued their journey to Niagara Falls, returned to their homes. On his return to Lyons, Judge Church arranged with Mr. Van Wickle to go on to the lands and commence surveys and improvements at Angelica, which he had previously selected as the site for a village. The erection of a grist mill, calculated for one run of stones, and a saw mill was soon com- menced, the latter being completed and put in operation in 1803, and the former in 1803. A framed house for Mr. Van Wickle, a small log land office, and a few shanties for dwellings ■ were also erected. A tavern was opened by Joseph Taylor in 1802, and in the same year Judge Church opened a small store, which was managed by the late John Gibson, who accompanied him in his primitive exploration, and for many years continued to reside in the vicinity of Angelica, But it is not ourpurj)Ose to give, in this connection, a detailed account of the various settlements subsequently made, as that will be done more fully under the respective towns. It is designed to refer here only in a very general way, and without amplification, to the early settle- ments and the more prominent incidents connected therewith. The difficulties which the early settlers had to encounter, and which largely tended to retard the growth of this new country, are so tersely described by Turner in his " Pioneer History of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase," that we are constrained to quote therefrom. He says : — " No new country has probably ever been opened for sale and settle- ment, that had as rugged features, as much of difficulty to overcome, as the territory which comprises the county of Allegany. Heavily timbered throughout, with the exception of small spots upon the river, it was many years before the roots were out so as to admit of easy cultivation. The new settlements in all early years were extremely isolated. The wide forests of the Holland Purchase bordering upon them, had been but little broken into, as late as 1809 or '10, and after that for many years, settle- ment upon them advanced but slowly. When the settlers began to have anything to dispose of, they had no market but such as involved a ruinous cost of transportation, over long woods' roads, and up and down steep hills. The very earliest years, however, were far more prosperous than a long period that succeeded. Black salts, pot and pearl ashes, and grain could be taken to Hornellsville, and from thence go to Baltimore, where it would command cash. This made for a few years, pretty brisk times; but the navigation was precarious, and at best, had in each season but a short duration; and soon came on European wars, the embargo to bear especially heavy upon the enterprise and prosperity that had begun to dawn in the secluded backwoods. Pine lumbta- was good for nothing, beyond the home uses of the new settlers. It was too far from the navigable waters of the Allegany, even if there had been roads; and too far from the northern older settlements, to allow any considerable market in thatdirec- ALLEGANY COUNTY. 27 tion. The tiest of pine trees, instead of being any help to the new settler, was a great hindrance, for they constitute the most difficult clearing of new lands that is encountered. The first considerable market for the pine lumber of Allegany, was at Mt. Morris and Dansville, after the completion of the Genesee Valley canal to those points. "Independent of other hindrances to prosperity — or especially to agri- cultural improvement — two prominent ones have existed: — The moun- tains, the valleys and the streams had attractions for the hunter, the trap- per and the fisherman, and slow progress in felling the forest, neglected fields and dilapidated log tenements were the consequences. The free use of whiskey in all the new settlements of the Genesee country, was a curse and a blight, the consequences of which — the manner that it retarded prosperity and improvement— the strong men that it made weak— the woe and sorrow that it carried to the log cabins of the wilderness — would form a theme «hat might be regarded as an innovation here; but elsewhere, in its appopriate place, would ' point a moral,' though it would not ' adorn a tale.' Especially was this an evil where men were attracted by the causes that have been named from legitimate pursuits. The other local hindrance succeeded when lumbering became a sufficient object to draw men away from agricultural improvements. " Soon after 1607, a serious embarrassment was added to other difficul- ties upon the Church tract, which constituted nearly all the settled por- tions of Allegany. John B. Church, who was then residing in NewYork, became embarrassed, principally in consequence of French spoliations upon American commerce; having made large ventures as an underwriter. The title of .one-half of the 100,000 acre tract, was in his son, Philip Church, but there had been no division; a mixed interest was assigned to trustees, for the benefit of his creditors, and there was no final division and settlement till 1815. In all this time there was a distrust of title, which hindered settlement and created an unsettled state of things, as the same cause always will. "The war of 1812 prostrated all of enterprise and progress in all the newly settled portions of the Genesee country, where they had no surplus produce, were consumers instead of producers. The new settlements of Allegany furnished their full quota of men for the frontier, drawn irom fee- ble settlements, where they could be least well spared; some were left upon battle fields, died in hospitals, or returned to die of disease contracted upon the frontier. Peace had but just been concluded, when the cold and untoward season of 1816 came upon them, its biting frosts upon hill and valley destroying all their hopes of sustenance, creating distress and want; driving, in many instances, men to the game in the forest, the fish in the streams, and wild roots and herbs, as the only resources to ward off a famine. Independent of their own sufi"erings and privations, they had quartered upon them the poor Indians of Caneadea, who were reduced to the extremity of want. Then came propitious seasons, life and activity; for a few years a tide of emigration flowed through their midst, on their way to Glean, and down the Allegany, creating a home market for their produce. This lasted, gradually declining, until the Erie canal had reached its western terminus, when emigration was entirely diverted, and the main roads and public houses were deserted. The Erie canal so difi'usive in its benefits, stimulating to life and activity, in all other locali- ties of western New [York,] but came to crush the hopes and depress the energies of the people of Allegany and Cattaraugus. Recovering from its first eflects, gradually and remotely its benefits began to reach them, even before the construction of the Valley canal. 28 ALLEGANY COUNTY. " It is after almost a half century's struggle, but for Allegany the ' better time ' has come. The whistle of the steam cars are startling the deer that yet linger in her forests ; the echoes of the boatman's horn, ere these im- perfect annals will issue from the press, will be sounding along the valley of the upper Genesee ; the dark forests are rapidly disappearing; the neat framed house is taking the place of the moss covered log cabin; all is put- ting on the appearance of renewed enterprise and rapid progress. Long almost a ' terra incognita ' [to] her near neighbors on the ' northern plains,' her soil, her climate, pure water and pure atmosphere, [are] beginning to be appreciated; and she will soon occupy a better relative position in the empire region of the Empire State." From the Allegany County Advocate of April 16, 1869, we ex- tract the following additional reference to the hardships, priva- tions and pecuniary embarrassments with which the early set- tlers in this locality had to contend. The writer, after referring to the diversion of immigration on the opening of the Erie Canal and its sequent blighting effect upon the industries of this locality, continues : — "This, added to the financial crisis of 1818 and 1819, together with the cold seasons and failure of crops, created alarming and almost unendur- able distress among tne settlers, and for a time brought settlement to a stand. At this time there were few farms in Allegany and Cattaraugus, that could be sold for one quarter of the cost of improvements, above the original price of the land. Very many of the settlers abandoned the idea of paying for their land, and stopped improvements. ISome left the country, and more would have done so, could they have sold their improvements for enough to pay the necessary expenses of emigration. In 1822 the Holland Land Company reduced the price of lands, and began to pay lib- eral prices for cattle; which soon changed the gloomy prospects of the settlers, and adversity gave way to prosperity and hope." The opening of the Genesee Valley Canal and the construc- tion of the Erie R. R. through the county gave a new impetus to its growth and prosperity, by making accessible ready and profitable markets for the valuable products of its rich pine forests. With the development of the lumbering business a new era dawned upon the settlements. Saw mills sprang into existence and rapidly depleted the magnificent forests which had so long possessed little or no commercial value. Im- migrants were again attracted to this locality and the settle- ments were largely augmented by this influx. New industries resulted from these accretions and infused a spirit of vital activ- ity and substantial prosperity through all the avenues of trade. With the depletion of the forests attention has been directed to tillage, and a higher order of agriculture has been evolved. Agriculture is rapidly merging into dairying, to which business the soil of the county is admirably adapted. The good times anticipated and predicted by the earlier settlers are happily real- ized by the present generation. The rude cabins of an early day with their crude appliances have given way to the comfort- ALLEGANY COUNTY. 29 able, and not iinfrequently, palatial residences of the present day; the uncouth and fatiguing conveyances, drawn by clumsy oxen over rough, ungraded roads, and often through forests des- titute of roads of any kind, and without even the poor guide aflbrded by blazed trees, have been superseded by rapid, commo- dious and elegant vehicles; and the slow and uncertain means of communication, by the splendid achievements of the electric telegraph and our well appointed and admirably conducted mail system. Excellent schools and liberal churches are now acces- sible to every village and hamlet; while in larger villages are educational institutions qualified to fit the student for any vo- cation in life. Then was conspicuously prevalent the need of everything to be done; now there is evidence of something accomplished. Owing to the insufficiency of data at command, we are unable to give as full and concise a history of the part taken by Alle- gany county in the war of the Rebellion as we should like to do. Enough is determined, however, to warrant the assertion that she was not behind her sister counties in the performance of her duty, and that when the future historian shall be enabled to do her justice, her record in that eventful period will be a noble one — worthy the devotion of the illustrous sons whose lives she sacrificed on the altar of liberty. By order of July 7, 1862, the volunteers enlisted in this county were organized at Portage, where the 136th Infantry regiment was formed that year. Besides this, portions of the 23d, 27th, 64th, 85th, 93d, 130th, 160th, 189th and 194th infantry; 5th, 6th and 19th cavalry; and 2d mounted rifles were raised in this county. 30 ALFRED. GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. ALFRED was formed from Angelica, March 11, 1808, and a part of Angelica was annexed in 1816. Almond and Independence were taken off March 16, 1821 ; a part of West Almond, April 15, 1833 ; and a part of Ward, Nov. 21, 1856. The first town meeting was held at the house of Benjamin Van Campen, on the first Tuesday in April, 1808, and the following named oflBcers were elected:— Joseph Karr, Supervisor ; Joseph A. Eathbun, Town Clerk; John Pottman, Silas Ferry and Wheeler Hinman, Assessors; Samuel Karr, Collector; Roswell Haskin and Walter Karr, Overseers of the Poor ; Elihu Knight, Benjamin Van Campen and Wm. Gi'ay, Commissioners of High- ways ; Miles Oakley, Senr., John Mcintosh and James Ayres, Constables; Micah Haskin, Charles W. Clark, Philip Doderer and Miles Oakley, Senr., Overseers of Highways ; Benjamin Van Campen, Pound Master; Ardon Cobb, Stephen Major and Phineas Stevens, Fence Viewers. A bounty of $4 for every wolf killed was voted. The town lies near the center of the east border of the county, and contains 19,200 acres. Its surface is broken by irregular hills, separated by deep, narrow valleys, and their highest sum- mits are 500 to 800 feet above the streams. It is drained by Whitney Valley Creek in the north, and by Dykes Creek in the south. The soil is a clayey and shaly loam upon the hills, and a gravelly loam in the valleys. It is well adapted to grazing, and the farmers are mostly engaged in dairying. The morality of the people is marked, and we are advised that no license for the sale of intoxicating liquors has been granted in the town for over thirty years. The Erie Railroad enters the town in the northeast corner, and extending in a south-westerly direction, leaves it near the center of the south border. The population of the town in 1870 was 1,555; of whom ,499 were native, 56, foreign and all, except nine, white. ALFRED. 3 1 i — Alfked Center (p. v.) is situated on Whitney Valley Creek, a little north of the center of the town, and is distant two miles from Alfred, the nearest railroad station. It contains one church, Alfred University and Academy, a print- ing office, {^The Subbath Recorder, published weekly by the Amer- ican Tract Society,) ten stores of various kinds, one hotel, a photograph gallery, a steam saw mill and cheese-box factory, a sash, door and blind factory, two wagon shops, two blacksmith shops, an undertaking establishment, and about five hundred inhabitants. Aljred Uriiversity was founded in December, 1836. It has two general departments — an academic and a collegiate — each having a male and female department, with equal powers and privileges. The academic department was incorporated in 1842, and received under the visitation of the Eegents Jan. 31, 1843. It was incorporated as a University March 28, 1857, and organized as such April 15, 1857. It has eighteen professors and instructors, and 179 male and 184 female students. The value of the buildings and grounds is $63,500 ; of library, cabi- net and apparatus, $13,500; and of other college property, $80,000. It has an income of $11,273.86, and is under the care of the Seventh Day Baptists.* Alfred, (p.v.,) (formerly known as Bakers Bridge,) is situated on Whitney Valley Creek, and on the Erie Kailroad, in the north-east part of the town, and contains one chi>rch, (Seventh Day Baptist,) four stores of various kinds, one hotel, a black- smith shop, shoe shop, some twenty-five dwellings, and about 110 inhabitants. Settlement was commenced in May, 1807, by Judge Clark Orandall, from Petersburgh, Eensselaer Co., and Nathan Green, from Brookfield, Madison Co., who located at or in the vicinity of Alfred, the former on lot 8. Crandall was Associate County Judge. He was the first member of the State Legislature from this town, and one of the first in the county. He built the first court house at Angelica. Green was a single man. Shortly after, and probably the same year, came Edward and Caleb Green, brothers of Nathan, who came also from Brookfield, and settled between Alfred and Alfred Center. They were both drowned a few years after in the Canisteo River. Edward Green built the first framed house in the town about 1809. Wm. Saunders, from Berlin, Eensselaer Co., located about the same year about half a mile south of Alfred Center. He served as a soldier till the close of the war of 1812, *Oazetteer of the State of New York, by Franklin B. Hough, A. M., M.D., .1873, and the University Catalogue, 1869. 32 ALFRED. but lived only some two weeks after his return home. James risk, from Brookfield, Madison Co, came in 1808 and took up a farm within the limits of the village of Alfred Center. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was taken sick in 1814, came home, and died in a few days. John Teater, from Oneida Co., settled the same year a little east of Alfred Center. He kept the first hotel in town in 1818. His daughter, Nancy, taught the first school in 1814. Luke Green, from Brookfield, Madison Co., a soldier in the war of 1812, settled between Alfred and Alfred Center in 1809. His wife is still living in the town at the advanced age of nearly 92 years. A daughter, (Mrs. Phebe Crandall,) aged 70 years, is living in the town of Alma. But few settlements appear to have been made from this period until after the close of the war of 18\2. David Sat- terlee, from Berlin, Rensselaer Co., located between Alfred and Alfred Center in 1813; and settlements were made in 1814 by Richard Hull, Abel Burdick, Stephen Coon and his son Stephen Coon Jr., Jesse Whitford and James C. Burdick. Hull came from Berlin, Rensselaer County, and settled in the eastern part of the town. He was one of the early preachers of the town. His son. Rev. N. V. Hull, has been pastor of the First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred Center for the last twenty-eight years, and is now editor of The Sabbath Recorder-. Burdick was from Brookfield, Madison Co. He settled in the northern part of the town. The Coons came from Rensse- laer Co. and settled in the central part. Whitford came from Brookfield, Madison Co., and located in the southeast part, on lot 35, where he lived the remainder of his life. Bur- dick was also from Brookfield. He settled in the eastern part, on lot 25, where he remained till his death, and where one of his sons still lives. Elias Burdick, from Rhode Island, settled in the western part about the same year (1814). In 1815 settle- ments were made by Freeborn Hamilton, a soldier of the war of 1812, who took up 100 acres of land near Alfred, on which he remained till his death ; by Elias Smith, who located with his wife, five sons, two daughters and a daughter-in-law, a little west of the center, on lot 21, and whose son, Elias Jr., also set- tled at the same time and place, where they remained till death ; by George Green, who located on lot 20 ; by Gideon L. Spicer, who settled at Alfred Center ; by Nathan Lanphear, who took up a farm in the southern part, put up part of a log house, and, in consequence of an accident by which he cut his foot while engaged on same, returned to Berlin, Rensselaer Co., whence he came, and where he remained two years, after which he moved on his farm, where he is still living; and by Amos Bur- dick Jr., who located in the south-eastern part, on lot 43, on ALFRED 33 the farm upon which he still lives. Hamilton, Green, Burdick and the Smiths were from Brookfield, Madison Co. Rod- man Place settled near the central part about 1815. He came from Rensselaer Co. During the cold season of 1816 he, with many others, suffered severely, and barely escaped starva- tion. David Stillman, from Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co., settled near Alfred Center about 1815 or '16. Amos Burdick, Russell Davis and Paris Green came in from Brookfield, Madi- son Co., in 1816. Burdick settled in the southeast part on lot 44, where he died. His son, Welcome B., who was a little over three years old when his father moved in, has lived on the same farm gince 1816. Davis also settled in the south-east part, but lived only about two and a half years after he camie here. Green settled in the eastern part, on lot 35, in March. Stephen Collins and Isaac Burdick, from Madison Co., and Samuel Thatcher, from Hoxnellsville, but originally from Vermont, came in 1817. Collins came in the fall, the whole distance on foot, and settled in the western part. His first log house was covered with split hollow basswood logs. Burdick settled a half mile east of Alfred, where he lived most of the remainder of his life. Thatcher settled near the central part of the town. Amos Crandall and wife, and Samuel Lanphear, with his wife and two children, came in from Rhode Island in 1818, and set- tled in the northern part. They brought their goods in an ox cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen and a horse hitched ahead. Wm. Crandall, from Rensselaer Co., settled in the southern part the same year. Joseph Claire, from Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co., settled in the north-western part in 1819, and lived on the farm he took up the remainder of his life. Abner Allen, from Onondaga Co., settled in the north-eastern part in 1820; and Ebenezer Allen, from Marcellus, in the same .county, settled in the north-western part two years later. Elijah Wool worth, from Turin, Lewis Co., but immediately from Brookfield, Madison Co., where he had lived two years, purchased a farm on which some improvements had been made, in the western part of the town, and raised some grain in 1822. He then returned for his family, which he moved here in February of the following year. They came with a lumber wagon, drawn by a span of horses. He spent the re- mainder of his life on the farm he then took up. Isaac Fenner came from Herkimer Co. in 1824, and settled in the western part. He was for -a time engaged in the mercantile business, but prior and subsequent to that time has followed agricultural pursuits. He has been instrumental in fostering Alfred Aca- demy and in building several churches. Maxson Stillman and his son, Maxson Jr., came in from Rensselaer Co. in 1825, 34 ALFRED. and settled ou lot 23, one mile south of Alfred Center, Jere- miah Burdick, from Rhode Island, settled in the town in 1825, He is in his eighty-eighth year, being the oldest man in Alfred. Thomas J. Burdick, from Westerly, Washington Co,, R. I,, settled in the north-western part of the town in the fall of 1829. Other early settlers were the families of Perry Murphy, Charies H, Clark, Maxson Green, Luke Maxson and George Stillman, who settled at Alfred Center very soon after Crandall and the Greens came in. Another, though not among the earliest set- tlers, yet an important one with respect to the moral, spiritual and gesthetic culture of the residents in this vicinity, was Rev. Wm, Colegrove Kenyon, A. M., who was for several years presi- dent of the faculty of Alfred University, and who devoted the last years of his earth life to its fostering care. He was born in Richmond, R. I,, Oct. 23, 1812, of poor and humble parentage. At the age of five years he was bound out to a guardian, from whom " he experienced the severity and ungraciousness not un- frequently attaching to the life of a ward." When old enough he was hired out to neighboring farmers during the summer, and in the winter he attended district school, doing chores night and morning, and working one day in the week for his board. At the early age of fourteen he united by baptism with the First Church of Hopkinton,and the three following winters were spent in the families of deacons Daniel Lewis and John Langworthy, whose high social, refining and elevating influ- ences awakened in him noble aspirations. During this time he attended school, and when at work on the farm he kept a book handy, that all odd spells might be improved. His work was driven with a view to gain time for his studies, and he read and studied by fire light when no better was at hand. When he was about nineteen years of age he bought his time of bis guardian, giving his note, which he subsequenty paid, principal and interest, with money earned by teaching at the institution with which he was afterward so prominently connected. He learned the trade of a machinist, and while working with the lathe and file did much of his studying, reciting with classes in a school known as the Lyceum. In the summer of 1836 he entered Union College, having gone over only about half the studies usually required for entering, a fact which necessitated very hard work to enable him to keep up with his classes. The winter of 1836-7 he spent at the " Novelty Works" of New York city, and during this time he nearly kept up with his college studies. One vacation and a part of a term he taught district school, and another term was nearly lost by his having the small-pox. Dr. Nott, President of Union College, becoming deeply interested in him, cheered him on and solicited aid for ALFRED. 35 him from the American Education Society ; but it was refused on the ground that he, being a Seven th-*Day Baptist, was not orthodox. The Hopkinton Sewing Society and another local society aided him somewhat, and he paid back the money re- ceived from them after he began teaching, " testifying "that their manifestation of conficfence in him was worth as much as the money, giving him new inspiration to press forward." In the spring of 1839, Rev. James R. Irish, who was his room-mate while in college, and who was then principal of the school in Alfred Center, procured the appointment of Mr. Kenyon as his successor. The latter entered upon the duties of his office, ex- pecting to remain only two or three years at most; for in pre- paring for' the ministry he intended to devote his life to mis- sionary work in foreign fields. But here, in a field compara- tively unoccupied by institutions of learning, he saw a mission worthy of his efibrts, and he soon became interested in educa- tional projects, to the success and perpetuation of which his whole future life was devoted. We have not the space to detail the arduous labors involved in his efforts to awaken that inter- est which was the germ of Alfred University, nor the unflagging energy with which he pushed his beneficent plans through periods of despondency and grave financial embarrassments to so grand a culmination. To-day that institution stands as a monument to his unremitting toil and self-sacrifice, and his memory is enshrined in the hearts of hundreds who have and are yet to reap the benefit of his labors. In addition to the preparation demanded by his daily duties in school, he prose- cuted his college studies, frequently working most of the night, and in due time received thi degree of Master of Arts. In the fall of 1841 he was appointed Superintendent of Common Schools for this county. He spent the winter and part of the following summer in the discharge of the duties of his office, Elder Irish taking his place temporarily as Principal of the school. From a Me^norial Address delivered by Prof. Jonathan Allen, by appointment of the Trustees of Alfred University, to which we are indebted for the foregoing particulars relative to Mr. Kenyon, we extract the following description of him : — " One of those slender, compact, nervous, magnetic men — a man very earnest, very incisive, somewhat radical, even eccentric, if you please, yet very genuine — the tirst sight of him, on his arrivel here to take charge of the school, stirred one young life to the core. The first address that we heard him deliver roused and thrilled us as no other, and we worked for days in a dream; and his teaching was suggestive, electric, inspir- ing. We students in those early days, in our little gatherings, voted him, save in a few points, the greatest m;in living. His whole being appeared to our youthful eyes condensed, intensified, spiritual energy, with strange 36 ALFRED. facinating power. As the chemists assert that each drop of water contains electricity enough to produce, when set free, a small thunderbolt, so he appeared to our youthful imaginations as possessing in each minutest globule of his blood, life-force sufficient to electrify and stir into action any nature however dormant. The chief excellency of a teacher does not consist in the number of facts he may store away in the minds of his pu- pils, but in awakening their individual powers to independent action, in dispelling stupidity, drowsiness, quickening them into vitality, fervor, kindling aspiration, spurring on to self-improvement, high endeavor, thus leading on to noble achievement. President Kenyon sometimes said that the noblest inscription which he could have for his tombstone, would be, that he had been good at drill, and secured mental concentration, steady- ness of mental nerve and eye, steadfastness of purpose, le.iding to an ap- preciation of the infinite importance of life's opportunities and responsi- bilities." "On the 5th day of August, 1840, he married Miss Melissa B, Ward, whose life thenceforward was inseparably interwoven with the life of the Institution, and who, like her husband, gave all, even to the offering of life itself, for its welfare." In 1857, when the University charter was granted, he was appointed President, an office he held till 1865, when he spent a few months in Missouri, having married in September of the pre- vious year Mrs. Ida S. Long. He soon resumed his duties in the University, "and though offered one of the most lucrative and tempting educational positions in the gift of the State, he steadfastly held to his purpose to devote a complete life-service to the cause of education in Alfred. Illness, however, soon compelled him to again seek medi- cal aid, rest, and foreign travel." He spent the summer of 1866 at Dr. Taylor's "Swedish Movement Cure," in New York city, and by October he was so far restored as to be able to sail for Europe, where he spent the winter with his wife's friends in Prussia. "In early spring, President and Mrs. Kenyon had started from Forste, in Prussia, for the Orient, intending to take steamer at Trieste directly for Alexandria ; thence, after traveling through portions of Egypt, to go to Palestine. But soon after starting they were compelled, on occount of his ill health, to turn aside to Geneva, in Switzerland, spending four weeks there; but as he was getting weaker from week to week, they turned their faces homeward, stopping a few weeks at Paris, thence to London on the 2d of May." His health failed rapidly, but such was his intense desire to reach home, that his home passage had been paid, trunks packed, and a man engaged to take him to the ship. He died on the morning of June 7, 1867, and his funeral took place on the 11th, at Abney Park Cemetery, near London, The first marriage in town was contracted by Luke Maxson and Susan Green. The first birth was that of Rebecca Stillman, ALFRED— ALLEK. 37 Nov. 4, 1808; and the first death, that of Charles H. Clark, who accidentally shot himself while wiping his gun after a day's hunt. Ephraim S. and Lodwick Davis built the first saw mill in 1821, and the first grist mill iu 1824. Tbe First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred, at Alfred Center, the first church formed in the town, was organized with about six members, by Elders Wm. Satterlee and Henry Clark, in 1816. Their first house of worship was erected in 1831; and the present one, which will seat 700 persons, in 1855, at a cost of |6,000. The first pastors were Elders Daniel Babcock and liictiard Hull. The Society numbers 451 members, who are under the pastoral care of Rev. N. V. Hull, our informant. The Church ]iio])erty is valued at $10,000. The Second Seienth Day Baptist Chvrch of Alfred, at Alfred village, was organized 'with about thirty-six members, by members from the First Church, in 1831. The first church edifice was erected about 1836; and the present one, which will seat 300 persons, in 1858, at a cost of $3,300, tbe present value of Church property. The first pastor was Rev. Elay Green; the preseat one is liev. L. R. Swianey, our informant. There are 197 members. % ALLEN was formed from Angelica, Jan. 31, 1823. Apart of Birdsall was taken off May 4, 1829. The first town meeting was held April 1, 1823, and the following named officers were elected:— James Wilson, Supervisor; Jeremiah Fuller, Towtt Clerk; Nathan Overton, John Mahan and Henry Cummings, Assessors ; Chester Eotch, Collector ; Chester Rotch, Calvin Cole, Jacob Biass and Freem Scott, Constables; Jonathan Walker and Damon Bryant, Overseers of the Poor ; Chester Rotch, Calvin Cola and Rial Thompson, Commissioners of Highways; Ma- nasseh French, Sylvester Rounds and John P. Van Allen, Com- missioners of Common Schools; Levi S. Littlejohu and Silas Littlejohn, /«s/>ectors of Common Schools; Levi Littlejohn and Jeremiah Fuller, Justices of the Peace. It is an interior town, lying north of the center of the county, and contains 22,764 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, divided into ridges by the valleys of the streams, above which the highest summits rise 500 to 700 feet. It is drained by the head waters of Plumb Creek, which flows to the north, and those of Bakers and Wigwam creeks, which flow to the south. The soil upon the uplands is clay underlaid by hardpan, and in the valleys a gravelly loam and alluvium. It is best adapted to grajiing, and dairying is the chief pursuit of the farmers. This is an agricultural town, there being no village in it. There are several churches, but neither hotel nor store, and only one blacksmith shop. There is neither minister, doctor nor lawyer in the town. The population in 1870 was 794, all of whom, except 91, weie native, and all, e.'^cept seven, white. 38 ALLEN. Allek Centek, (p. o.) centrally located, contains two churches (M. E. and Lutheran) and eight or ten houses, only half of which are occupied. Allen (p. o.) is situated in the east part. Settlement was commenced about 1806, by James Wilson, who emigrated from Ireland in 1804. He lived a short time at Geneva and about a year at Angelica, coming thence to this town. He took up a farm on Bakers Creek, on which he lived till his death. He was the first Supervisor in the town. His son, Col. Wm. Wilson, who was born Jan. 30, 1810, was prob- ably the first child born in town. Robert Barr settled in the south part, on Bakers Creek, shortly after Mr. Wilson, and a little later came Archibald Taylor, who located in the south- east part, on lot 54. He came from Ireland, but lived a short time in New York city before coming here. Robert McBride also settled about the same time in the eastern part. Improve- ments progressed but alowly during the early years of settle- ment and few additions were made to the number of settlers. The Peavys (Neheniiah, John, Ichabod, Isaac, Joseph and Joshua,) settled on what is known as the Peavy road, in the south-west part of the town, about 1815; and the families of McCoon and Teller were settlers of an early day. Friend, Hiram, Simon and Wm., and their father Eleazer Scott came from the town of Watertown, Litchfield Co., Conn., and settled in the eastern part of the town in 1816. Erastus Walker, from Vermont, came with a wagon and span of horses the following year and took up a farm in the southern part, on lot 62, where he spent the remainder of his life. Chester Rotch and two others named Otto and Lefever settled at the center about this year (1817 ;) and a widow named Armstrong settled in the southern part about the same time. She came from Angelica, and in 1827 opened the first hotel kept in the town. It was located near the south line. George Glover, from Ontario Co., settled in the south-west part about 1820. Daniel Baldwin settled on the farm that Otto took up about 1820 or '2L Joseph Jeu- i^ings, from Bristol Co., Mass., settled in the southern part, on the farm now occupied by his son, in December, 1822, and con- tinued to reside there till his death. Robert, Joseph and Jona- than Walker, from the same State, settled in the east part the same year. Martin Miner, from Norfolk, Connecticut, and Asher Miner settled in 1824, the former a little east of the center, and the latter in the south-west part. Asher Miner built the first saw mill on Wigwam Creek, in 1825; but the first one in the town was erected by Moses Treat, on Bakers Creek, about 1820. James and Samuel Willison, brothers; and James, John, Robert, George and William Burthwick, with ALLEN. 39 their mother and three sisters, came from Genoa, Cayuga Co., and settled in the western part in 1826. The Willisons located on lot 48. Joshna Smith, also from Cayuga Co., settled in th'e western part about the same year. He took up a farm upon which he spent the rest of his life. There was then scarcely a road in the western part of the town. Andrew Clark, from Sullivan Co., settled a little north of the center in 1827. About 1827 Abram Post moved in from Angelica, where he had lived from the time he was a year old, and settled in the south-east part, on the farm he still occupies. John and Ruel Hooker, brothers, from the same town, settled about the same year west of the center. Ege Pierson settled north of the center in this or a previous year. Henry Burt, from Springfield, Mass., Thomas Cole and Robert K. King, from Steuben Co., and Jerred Atwater, Uriah Cook and Solomon Woodworth, from Cato, Cayuga Co., settled in the town in 1828; Burt, near the central part, on lot 35; Cole, in the western part, on lot 33, on the 2d of May ; King, who came from the town of Pultney, in the western part, on a farm near where he now lives; and the latter three in the western part, Atwater on lot 34, and Wood- worth on lot 18. Austin Manley and Henry Light, from Cayuga Co., settled in the south-west part about 1828. Conrad Benjamin, from Sandisfield, Berkshire Co., Mass., settled a little east of the center in 1829, and remained there about six months, when he moved to the north-east part and took np the farm on which he now lives. James Crandall, from Trumansburgh, Tompkins Co., settled at the center in 1832. The first store in town was kept by a man named Merrick, at Allen Center. The tirst school was taught near the south line, in 1820. The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1821; and the first Church was formed by the Presby- terians in 1830. The M. E. Gliurcli of Alkn, at Allen Center, was organized with about fifteen members, about 1844; and the church edifice, which will seat 300 persons, was erected about 1849, at a cost of about $1500. There are nine members. The pastor is Rev. S. D. Picket. The Church properly is valued at about $600. [Information furnished by Mr. Joseph H. Rutkerford. The First Baptist Church of Allen, in the south-west part of the town, was organized about 1847; and the church edifice, which will seat 250 persons, was erected in 1858. There are about fifty members, but the Church is without a pastor. The estimated value of the Church property is $4,000. [Information furnislied by Mr. Abel Webstei\ The Second M. E. Church of Allen, in the south-west part of the town, was organized with about sixteen members, the present number, by Rev. Wm. Bradley, the first pastor, about 1848; and tlie church edifice, which will seat 200 persons, was erected in 1862, at a cost of about $700. The present pastor is Rev. L. S. Crittenden. The Church property is valued at $900. [Information furnished by Mr. I. L. Fisk. 40 ALLEN— ALMA. St. Paul's LutJieran Church, at Allen Center, was organized with four- teen membej'S, by Rev. C. Engeler, the first pastor, in 1868. Their house of worship was given them by the Presbyterians the same year. It wiil seat 100 persons, and cost $500, its present value. The Society numbers sixteen, and is under the pastoral care of Rev. R. Garan. [Informatmi furnished by Mr. Christian Galhnan. ALMA was formed from Willing, Nov. 23, 1854. The first town meeting was held at the house of Azor Hurlbutt, March 6, 1855, and the following named officers were elected : — John H. Foland, Supervisor ; Darius 0. Judd, Town Clerk; Arvis Burrows, John C. Eowell, Walton T. Rice and Ambrose Straight, Justices; Samuel B. Stebbins, A. R. Southmade and Alzina Straight, Assessors ; Solomon Allen, Daniel Shaw and Jasper White, Commissioners of Highivays ; Ebenezer South- made and Charles C. Fay, Inspectors of Election ; Wm. S. Oliver, Town Superintendent; John Halbert, Overseer of the Poor; Samuel Wyval, Collector ; Samuel Wyval, Wm. Andrews, Saul G. Green and Solomon Allen, Constables. The town lies upon the center of the south border of the county, and contains 23,349 acres. The surface is very rough and hilly, the declivities of the hills being mostly too steep for profitable cultivation. At various places outcroppings of sand- stone appear. Near the center and near the highest point in the town is a rough tract of sandstone rock covering 100 to 200 acres. The surface is covered with moss, on which the timber has grown. Near the center of this tract is an elevation of ten to fifteen feet, covering about an acre, and composed mostly of huge blocks of sandstone, which is destitute of vegetation, with the exception of a few shrubs and stunted trees. Honeoye Creek and its branches, flowing in deep, narrow ravines, form the principal drainage. The soil upon the uplands is a clayey and sandy loam, and in the valleys a gravelly loam and allu- vium. Much of the town is yet covered with forests, and lum- bering is the chief pursuit of the people. Agriculture has gained a foothold in the valleys and in a section known as the " Niles Hill district," where some well improved farms are seen. The supply of pine is well nigh exhausted. The population of the town in 1870 was 766 ; of whom 665 were native, 101, foreign, 741, white and 25, colored. Shongo (Alma p. o.) (formerly known as Honeoye) is situated in the south-west corner of the town, on Honeoye Creek, and contains a hotel, store, blacksmith shop, saw and shingle mill, ten dwellings, and about forty inhabitants. PiKEViLLE (named from a Mr. Pike, who erected the saw mills there,) was once a thriving lumbering village, but, since JLi/A. 41 the burning of the saw and shingle mills located there, has gone to decay. Settlement was begun in 1833, by Warren Hough, from Quebec, Canada, who located in the south part. A man named Longcore settled on lot 20, about the same time, or a little later. Azor Hurlbutt was born in Connecticut, Jan. 27, 1804, and removed with his father to Otsego Co., when only three years old. He removed thence to Alma in 1834, and settled on lot 26. When he came there was only a foot path east toward the Genesee, a sled path toward Honeoye Corners, and a road underbrushed toward Pikevifle. He has held the office of Justice <5f the Peace for about thirty years, the last sixteen in succession. He still lives where he first settled. He built and opened the first hotel in. Alma, in 1837. His daughter, Eme- line, who was born Sept. 1, 1836, was the first child born in the town. Samuel B. Stebbins, a native of Otsego Co., removed thence in the fore part of July, 1836, and settled on lot 30. When he came, he says, there were but five others living in the south part of the town. They were, in addition to Hurlbutt and Hough, Wm. Smith and two others named Harding and Hunter. He has since lived in the same place. Mr. Stebbins relates that his daughters, Achsa Ann and Phebe, aged respect- ively twelve and eight years, killed a wolf about the year 1846. While he was away from home the children saw in a clearing back of the house, an animal which they supposed to be a fox, but which proved to be a wolf, young and very poor. They set the dog on him, but he did not run till the latter reached him and worried him some. The dog followed close, snapping at his heels at every opportunity. The wolf soon took refuge under the roots of a fallen tree, but the aperture was too small to fully conceal him or to admit of his turning round in it. The girls followed and saw that they could reach his hind legs, and one of them pulled him out while the other stood ready to despatch him. Myron Allen settled in the north-west part, on lot 1, in 1839. Jared Emerson settled in the town in 1840. Wm. Andrus, from Steuben Co., settled on lot 22 in the spring of 1843, and, with the exception of two years, has since lived on the same place. Joseph Smith moved in from Michigan in ]849, and settled in the north part, on lot 114. Timothy Nobles removed from Urbana, Steuben Co., to the town of Burns, in 1833 ; three years later to Grove ; and thence, in 1856, to his present residence in this town. Captain Elisha Mix was an early settler in the town, but in what year we are not advised. He came from Potter Co., Pa., and settled on lot 47, where he died in 1859. His step-son, George E. Adams, came with him, and still lives in the town. The first death in the 42 ALMA— ALMOND. town was that of John Baglej, in 1838. The first school was taught by Clarinda Kent, in 1839. The first store was kept by Samuel J. Peet, in 1844. The first saw mill was erected by John W. Post, in 1843. The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Reuben Kent, in 1838; and the first religious association was formed by the Methodists in 1850. The ^^ Seventh Day Adventinf' Chvrch, situated on Niles Hill, was organized with thirty-two ciembers, by Rev. N. j^uller, August 10, 1862, in which year was erected, at a cost of $900, their house of worship, which will seat 200 persons. The Society consists of forty-nine members; and its property is valued at $1,000. " This denomination never locates pastors at any stated place." [^Information furnished by Mr. D. G. Phillips. ALMOND was formed from Alfred, March 16, 1821. A part of Birdsall was taken ojQF May 4, 1829, and a part of West Almond, April 15, 1833. It lies upon the east border of the county, north of the center, and contains 27,374 acres. The surface is hilly and is separated into several distinct ridges by the deep valleys of Canisteo Eiver and Karr Valley, McHenry Valley and Whitney Valley creeks, which are the principal streams,-and flow in an easterly direction. The highest sum- mits are 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. Sulphur springs and quarries of good building stone are found in various local- ities. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam, well adapted to grazing. Dairying and stock raising are the chief pursuits of the farmers. The Erie Eailroad crosses the south-east corner of the town. The population of the town in 1870 was 1686 ; of whom 1642 were native, 44, foreign and all, except eight, white. Almond, (p. v.) situated in the south-east part of the town, on Karr Valley Creek, and adjacent to the Erie R. R., contains three churches, (M. E., Baptist and Presb.) seven stores of various kinds, two hotels, a boot and shoe manufactory, a wheel horse rake manufactory, three grist mills, two harness shops, two wagon shops, two paint shops, four blacksmith shops and about 500 inhabitants. The village lies upon the line of Steuben Co., a small portion of the northern part projecting into that county. North Almond Valley, (p. o.) situated on Canisteo River, in the north-east part, is a hamlet. Settlement was commenced in the spring of 1796, by Rev. Andrew Gray and Wm. Cray, the former of whom located in the western part of the town, on Karr Valley Creek, and the latter in the south-west part, on McHenry Valley Creek. They were followed a few days later by Joseph A. Rathbun, who came ALMOND. 43 with his family, consistii)g of his wife, (Priscilla) daughter (Martha) and two sons, (Lazarus S. and John,) and settled on a farm adjoining that of Andrew Gray on the west. Kathbun taught the first school in town, in a log school house on the hill south of Karr Valley, in December, 1802. The building was covered with bark. The seats consisted of basswood planks split from the logs, hewed and laid upon blocks of wood, and were without backs. Benjamin Vandemark, Matthew Mc- Henry and Joseph Coleman, settled in the town the same year, the former in the south-west part, in McHenry Valley, and the latter two in the western part, in Karr Valley. All six came from Pennsylvania, the Grays, Rathbun (the latter formerly from Conn.) and Vandemark from Luzerne Co. Lazarus 8. Rathbun, son of Joseph A. Rathbun, is still living on the farm his father took up. He was about six years of age when his father came, and is the only one of the first settlers now living. He affirms that he never went to school more than about three months in his life. He learned to write by the fire-place, with a pointed stick. At an early day he had made such progress in learning as fitted him for teaching. Later he be- came a justice of the peace, an office he held for many years; was one of the first supervisors of the town ; and in 1824 and '25 he was a memberof the State Legislature. Henry McHenry, brother of Matthew McHenry, who was also from Luzerne Co., Pa., settled in the McHenry Valley in 1797. His son, Wm., who was born in 1799, was the first white child born in the town. Obediah Ayers settled in the McHenry Valley about the same time that Henry McHenry did. He came from near Wilkesbarre, Pa. Major Moses Van Campen and his brother Benjamin came from near Nanticoke, Pa., in 1797, or about that year. Moses settled in the McHenry Valley and Benjamin in "the Karr Valley. Moses Van Campen accompanied Judge Philip Church, late of Belvidere, on an exploring expedition to the Church Tract, in 1801, as previously stated, and in 1805 removed to the town of Angelica. We extract from Stone's History of Wyoming the following allusion to Van Campen at a time prior to his settlement in this county : — "Among the names most intimately connected with the history of Wyoming during the period under review, is that of Moses Van Campen. Major Van Campen, — for such was his legitimate title in the service before the close of the contest, — first served as a private in the year 1777, upon Grand Island, situated in the west branch of the Susquehanna. In the following year he was commissioned a lieutenant, and stationed in the valley of the Susquehanna, between Northumberland and Wyoming, where he erected a small fort for the protection of the scattered settlers of the neighborhood, the inhabitants of which in seasons of alarm took 44 ALMOND. refuge within its walls. Before his little defence had been completed, it was gallantly and saccessfull}'' defended against two successive attaclis by strong bodies of Indians, whose tomahawks were nevertheless bathed in the blood of several families upon that section of the border. " When, in the year 1779, General Sullivan ascended the Susquehanna and Chemung rivers in his march into the Indian country to avenge tlie butcheries of Wyoming and Cherry Valley, lieutenant Van Campen was advanced to the post of quarter-master; but being a man of approved courage and activity, well skilled in the subtleties of Indian warfare, his duties were by no means contined to the commissariat. Previous to ti)e battle of Newtown, in which the Indians under Brant, and the American loyalists of Sir John Johnson and Col. John Butler were signally defeated by the united forces of Sullivan and Clinton, Major Van Campen was sent forward, under the disguise of an Indian warrior, — dressed, painted and plumed, — to ascertain the numbers and condition of the enemy, — a task which he executed with complete success. Passing their outposts in the night, he entered their camp, visited their fires, and computed, with suffi- cient accuracy, the number of the warriors slumbering around them. In the attack upon a division of the enemy, preceding the main battle, by the brigade of General Hand, Major Van Campen was in the advance, con- tributing actively to the success of that brilliant affair, "At the close of Sullivan's campaign, a severe attack of billions fever compelled Major Van Campen to retire from the service, and return to tbe residence of his father, in the vicinity of his former station below Wyoming, upon the Susquehanna. The savages had been so effectually subdued by the operations of Sullivan, that apprehensions of farther out- rages upon the border were measurably allayed, and the scattered inhabit- ants were preparing to resume their field labors in the spring of the fol- lowing year with comparative unconcern. Toward the close of March, Major Van Campen left the fort with his father and a brother, to woik upon the farm, accompanied also by an uncle and his son, a lad of twelve years of age, and a man named Peter Pence — the uncle having a farm to attend in the same vicinity. "Suddenly, on the 30th of March, while in the field, the Major and his father were attacked by a party of ten Indians, who stole so warily upon them that flight was impossible. The uncle had already been killed upon his own plantation ; the lad and Pence being now in company, bound prisoners. The Major's father was thrust through the lungs in the fiist onset, and his throat instantly cut. The lad, his brother, was likewise struck down with a toLnahawk, scalped, and his body cast into a fii'e blaz- ing near by. As the warrior who had slain the elder Van Campen drew the spear from his body, he made a lunge at the Major, already engaged apparently in a death struggle with another Indian; but not poising his weapon with skill, a slight flesh wound only was inflicted, while tlie bar b became entangled in the clothes of the intended victim. Sated, for the time, with blood, after a brief struggle the savages contented themselves with making the Major a prisoner, and with his youthful cousin, and the man Pence, he was marched away in the direction of the 'Six Nations' country. * * * Encamping at night, after building their fires, the prisoners were bound and well secured, the Indians sleeping five upon either side of them. On the second day of their march, while yet in the Wyoming region, they found one Abraham Pike, with his wife and child. Placing the mark of prisoners upon the latter two, they were sufl'ered to ' go' ; but Pike was taken away, and at night they were all bound and guarded as before. Reflecting that they had probably been spared ALMOND. 45 by tbeir captors lo grace a war feast on returning to their villages, in the course of which they would be put to denth by torture, Van Campeu began now to meditate an escape — a feat, he was well aware, only to be a(;l)ieved by putting the Indians to death. The daring suggestion was <;auiioual3'' imparted to his fellow prisoners on the third day of their cap- tivily; but it was not until the fourth that a reluctant assent was obtained from bis associaies. Pence and Pike — the lad being too young for a com- batant. The sleep of the Indians, it is well known, is very deep aud heavy; and Van Campen's proposal was that on the next night, after wait- ing unlil their grim guardians were in a profound slumber, they should contrive to extricate themselves in some way from the cords with which 1 bey were bound, and in the next place cautiously disarm the Indians. Tb's eSected, Van Campen intended that himself, Pence and Pike, armed wiiti (omajiawks, should eacb, by as many blows, dispatch three of the sleepers before any of them should have time to arouse for resistance. Nine of them being thus disposed of and the tenth unarmed, the three coukl have nothing serious to apprehend from him. •'But although the project was obviously well conceived, neither Pence nor Pike would agree to the details beyond the disarming. Tbat object allaioed they proposed that one of their number should be stationed with tiie tiiearms of the Indians, to be removed a few paces from the camp, wbich should be used with the best possible effect, while the other two were to attack with tomahawks, and ply them as briskly and fatally as possible during the confusion which would ensue on the first discharge of a musket. In this hazardous deviation from his plan Van Campen was obliged to acquiesce; and the duty of firing the muskets, from a point of comparative safety, was assigned to Pence. "Encamping as usual at dark, the Indians were remarkably diligent and attentive in providing an abundance of fuel for the night; and a roar- ing fire having been built, they all lay down to sleep— the prisoners being carefully bound as before. Providence, however, favored the design of escape, for one of the Indians, while adjusting himself for Ihe night, dropped his knife, without perceiving it, close by Van Campen's feet. Of course the latter failed not to avail himself of this important weapon; and at midnight, perceiving that the wairiors were all in a profound slumber, tbe Major arose, and*with the knife quietly severed the cords upon his own limbs and those of his fellow-prisoners. He was himself to strike the three Indians upon the right wing, and Pike the two upon the left, while Pence should do such execution as he could with the guns. Just as they were about to strike, the two warriors allotted to Pike awoke; where- upon, like a coward, as he proved to be, he again laid down in his place, as though all was well. Not so Van Campen, who saw that in an instant more all would be lost. Quick as lightning, therefore, he darted upon the two awaking savages, and planting his tomahawk deep into their heads, left them quivering in death. Three more blows, equally well directed, wiUi the rapidity of thought, ended the lives of the three as allotted to him at first. Pence fired at the same instant, with wonderful judgment and accuracy— killing four of the remaining five. One only was left— a stalwart savage named Mohawk, who sprang to his feet with the discharge of tbe guns, and uttering the war-whoop darted to take possession of them. Van Campen sprang after him to defeat his purpose, aiming a blow at his head with a tomahawk, but missing, struck him in the shoulder, or rather in the back of his neck. The Indian pitched forward and fell. Van Campen's foot slipping at the same instant, he also fell by his side._ Tbey clIiiQbed, and a struggle of several moments ensued, during which the Major endeavored to dispatch him with his own knife. Mohawk, how- 46 ALMOND. ever, succeeded in disengaging himself, and springing to his feet, plunged into the woods and fled. The transaction was one of surprising bravery, — of darkness and of blood. Yet it was not unrelieved by an incident, or rather side-act, of a ludicrous character; for while Van Campen and Mo- hawk lay struggling, grasped in each other's arms upon the ground as in the hug of death, Pike was attempting to pray, and Pence stood swearing at him for his cowardice. " The victory, however, was complete. Nine of the ten warriors lay before them dead; and it only remainded for the victors to secure the spoils, and wend their way back to Wyoming before Mohawk should be able to return upon them with reinforcements. Having secured the arms, blankets, and supplies of the dead, taken their scalps, and recovered also those of his father, his uncle, and his brother. Van Campen caused a rude raft to be constructed— for the brave action I have recorded occurred upon the bank of the Susquehanna not far from Tioga — upon which he embarked with his little party, and in due season they all reached their homes in safety. * * * " The Indian, Mohawk, recovered from his wound, and in process of time, by the removal of Van Campen to the neighborhood of his village, they became acquainted. The effect of the wound was such as to contract, or perhaps to destroy, some of the muscles of Mohawk's neck, by reason of Which he could never carry his head erect afterward. He was for a time shy of seeing Major Van Campen; but finding that the latter cher- ished no hostility toward him, he subsequently became his frequent visitor." Asking the reader's indulgence for this diversion, we resume our history of the early settlements. Philip Dodderer settled in the western part of the town, in Karr Valley, about 1797 or '98. He came from the same place as the McHenry's. Enos Seaward settled in the south-east part, in Whitney Valley, about 1798 or '9. Eoswell, Micah and David Haskins settled in the same locality about the same time. Joseph and Walter Karr, brothers, and Stephen Major, their brother-in-law, came in from Luzerne Co., Pa., in June, 1800, and took up adjacent farms in Karr Valley, a little south of the center of the town. They jointly cleared about six acres on Joseph's farm, on which they sowed wheat in the fall, and put up a log house, when theKarrs returned to their former home, where they remained till spring, leaving Major and his wife in the log house during the winter. The following spring they returned to their new homes in Almond with their families, accompanied by George Lockhart, from the same county, who also located in Karr Valley. Lockhart was a single man; but he married the daughter of Major Moses Van Campen about 1807, and settled in 1808 on the farm he took up three years previously, and on which he spent the rest of his life. Solomon Doud was the first settler in the " North Valley." He probably came about the beginning of the present century. Miles and Jeremiah Oakley and Joseph Baldwin settled in the same locality not far from 1800. Other early settlers in the North Valley were Calkins, Milo and Tru- ALMOND. 47 man Hayes, sons of B. Hayes, Elihu Knight, Wheeler Hinman, Ardon Cobb, John Bunnell, John Brown, Lemuel Granger, Bartlett Dake, Lewis Moffit, Lawrence Clark, Alex., Solomon and Benj. Head and a family named Miles, Phineas Stevens was thejSrst settler in the village of Almond. He came from Rome, Oneida Co., about 1804. Tarball Whitney, from Hunt- ington township, Luzerne Co., Pa., came in June, 1806, and settled in the south-east part of the town, on the farm now occu- pied by one of his sons, where he lived the rest of his life. Silas j Stillman settled in the south-east part about 1809. He was from Rensselaer Co., and had previously lived about two years in the to^V^ of Alfred, whence he removed to this town. Asa Clark, an early settler at Almond village, built the first grist mill in town, in the southern part of that village, in 1818. It stood on the site of Halsey's mill. Silas and Joseph C. Ferry were early settlers in Karr Valley — near the beginning of the present century. John Van Vechten, from Montgomery Co., settled in the eastern part of the town in 18\6 ; and Jerry, his brother, from the same county, settled in the same locality in 1820. The first marriage in town was that of Peter Putnam and Polly Waters, in 1801. The first death was that of Matthew McHenry, son of Matthew McHenry, in 1801. The first inn was kept in Karr Valley, in 1805, by Benjamin Van Campen. The first saw mill was built at the north end of Almond village, by Milo Stevens. The first store was kept in the southern part of the same village, by Wm. R. Rodgers & Co., about 1830. The first framed house was built by Rev. Andrew Gray on the farm he took up. Dr. Davison was the first settled physician and the first postmaster in town. The ofiice was established in 1813 or '14, and was located in the northern part of Almond village. The first religious services were conducted at Karr Valley, by Rev. Andrew Gray, a clergyman of the Reformed Dutch Church, at his own house, May 1, 1797; and the first Church, of the same denomination, was organized by him the same year. Mr. Gray officiated as clergyman for several years; and during his pastorate the Church enjoyed a good degree of prosperity; but after his removal it ''fell into decay, and in a short time became extinct." Mr. Gray also ministered to the neighboring settle- ments. He was described by Judge Philip Church as " a broad-shouldered man, of extraordinary muscular power." The Judge said, "I remember his getting so earnest on one occasion, [while preaching at Angelica,] in enforcing religious precepts upon his backwoods congregation, that in his gestures he knocked our store desli to pieces, that we gave him for a pulpit."* The First Presbyterian Church of Almond, at Almond village, was organ- ized with twenty-seven members, by Rev. John Niles of Bath; May 5, ♦Hotchkin's History of Western New York, p. 90; and Txiiner'a Pioneer Sistori/ of Phelps <& Gorharti's Purchase, p. 453. 48 ALM01:TD— AMITY. 1812. It was denominated the Church of Alfred, the name being changed to that of Almond on the division of the town. The first church edifice was erected in 1815, and was rebuilt in 1834, 1851, and 1873. The present house will seat 300 persons. Its original cost was $2,500. The first pastor was Rev. Robert Hubbard; the present one is Rev. Joel Wakeman, D. D. The Society consists of 145 members. Its property is valued at $8,000. [Information obtained frmn HotchMn''s " History of Western New York'''' and from Rev. Joel Wakeman, D. D. , the pastor. The First Baptist Ghurch of Almond, at Almond village, was orgaoized with thirty-four members, in 1826, by Elder Richard Hunt, the first pastor. The church edifice, which will seat 500 persons, was erected in 1835. The present pastor is Elder Sweeny. {Information furnished by Mr. C. R Brink. The First M. E. Church of Almond, at Almond village, was organized as early as 1848; for Hotchkin speaks of it in that year as being " small and weak" and without an " appropriate house of worship." Their house of worship, which will seat 300 persons, was erected in 1863, at a cost of $2,200, the present value of Church property. The pastor is Rev. West. ^MJTFwas formed from Angelica and Scio, Feb. 22, 1830. A part of Ward was taken off Nov. 21, 1856. It is an interior town, lying a little south of the center of the county, and con- tains 21,960 acres. The surface is hilly and broken, the summits of the hills rising 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. The Gene- see River crosses the town diagonally, through near the central part, and receives as tributaries Van Carapens Creek* from the west and Philips Creek from the east. The valleys of these streams are narrow and are bordered by steep hillsides. The soil is principally a clayey and sandy loam. The Erie R. R. extends through the town, along the Genesee, which it crosses at Philipsville, to Belvidere, where it deflects to the west. On the opening of this road through the town in 1851, Judge Philip Church presented for Belvidere station a flag representing an engine drawing a large cannon and sheaves of wheat in an open car; an Indian in ambush, with surprised look, his bow and arrow apparently falling from his grasp ; and a startled deer running away with fright. Beneath this design was the following inscription : — "BELVIDERE STATION. " ENERGY AND SKILL. "Where the fierce redman trod his pathless way, In search precarious, daily food to slay ; Or hid in ambush, sprung upon his foe, Striking unseen' the unsuspected blow; Now steam, resistless, spreads his fiery wings; Where want depresses, wished-for plenty springs; Or ponderous weapons to our border dx'aws ; Or writes on ocean waves Columbia's laws. Boast not proud white man in arts of peace and war, Look up to Heaven and see how small you are !" *This name was given during the primitive advent of Mr. Church, in honor of his woods' compaaion, Mr. Van Campen.

R. enters the north-west eoruer of the town, and connects with the Erie road at Belvidere. The population of the town in 1870 was 2087 ; of whom 1948 were native, 139, foreign and all, except five, white. Philtpsvjlle, (Belmont p. o.) is situated on the Genesee River and the Erie R. R., a little north-west of the center of the town. It was incorporated as a village Feb. 21, 1853. The population in 1870 was 795. It contains besides the clerk's office and court-house, six churches, (Baptist, Presbyterian, M. E., Free Methodist, Episcopal and Roman Catholic,) two school houses, a bank, a printing office, {The Alleganian, a Re- publican Journal, published by B. D. South worth,) three hotels, a butter pail manufactory, a mower and reaper manufactory, two flouring mills, one saw mill, one cabinet shop, one shingle mill, three dry goods stores, five groceries, one jewelry shop, two hardware stores, one cider mill, two wagon shops, two paint shops, one billiard room, and one restaurant. Belmont Lodge No. 474, F. A. M., meets on the evening of the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Belmont Lodge L. 0. 0. F. meets every Tuesday night. BELvroERE, (p. 0.) situated near the mouth of Van Campens Creek and on the Erie R. R., in the north-west corner of the town, contains one church, (Episcopal) three stores, two hotels, a boarding house, cheese factory, saw and stave mill and two wagon and blacksmith shops. W. (& J. Duke's saw and stave mill, situated at Belvidere, annu- ally manufactures about 200,000 feet of lumber and 600,000 staves. Dean's steam saw, shingle and lath mills, located on Philips Creek, cut annually about one million feet of lumber, one and one-half million shingles and one-half million lath. Settlement was commenced in 1804, by John T. Hyde, who located near Belvidere. Stephen Rogers came from Burlington, Otsego Co., this same year, and purchased a farm on Genesee River, in the south part of ihe- town, which he occupied till 1873. In this year also was built, upon grounds selected a year or two previously, the temporary residence of Judge Philip Church, which was known as the " white house," from the fact that it was then " the owXy painted structure in Western New York." Judge Church selected these grounds, says Turner, in his Pioneer History of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase, " by climb- ing tall pine trees upon the highlands." They are thus de- scribed by a writer in the Angelica Reporter of Jan. 22, 1861 : — 50 AMITY. "In this selection he manifested shrewdness and sound judgment. Were the selection to be made now, with all the advantages of an open country spread out before him, he could not, in any particular, have im- proved upon the selection then made. The 2000 acres set aside, is the finest land in the whole tract, and the situation of the house is incom- parably the finest in the whole country. The wonder is, that he should so readily have made such a strikingly favorable selection in the inter- minable woods, when the sight was so circumscribed, and when he could only form his judgment from a knowledge of the general conformation of the country; obtained by personal explorations. This place he named ' Belvidere.' " Judge Philip Church was born in affluent circumstances, April 14, 1778. His father was John B. Church of New York, who acted as Commissary to the French army during the American Revolution under the assumed name of Carter, and his mother, Angelica, eldest daughter of Gen. Philip Schuyler. In 1781, while his mother was visiting at the residence of Gen. Schuyler, near Albany, an attempt was made by a detachment of British soldiers to capture that distinguished oflficer. Young Philip was sleeping in the cradle, and as his mother seized him and bore him away in her arms a wound was inflicted on his forehead, the scar of which he often exhibited in after life as the first and only' wound he received in the wars. In 1783 his father repaired to Paris to adjust some unsettled accounts in connection with the Commissary Department, and remained there with his family eighteen months, after which he took up his residence in England, where, in 1787 he represented the borough of Wendover in the House of Commons. Young Philip entered Eaton school, where he remained six consecutive years and associated with the nobility and gentry of that day. Being the eldest son of his father he also enjoyed the raVe privilege of listening to the Parliamentary debates, which were participated in by such distinguished orators as Fox, Burke, Sheridan and the younger Pitt. After leaving Eaton he entered the Middle Temple and commenced the study of law. In 1797 he returned with his father to America, the latter resuming his residence in New York. He resumed his law studies in the office of Nathaniel Pendleton, and later in that of his uncle, Gen. Alex. Hamilton. On the appointment of the latter to the office of Major General and Inspector General of the Provisional Army organized in 1798 young Church became his private secretary. Jan. 10, 1799, he was commissioned a captain in the 12th Infantry, and two days later he received the appointment from General Hamilton as his aid-de-camp. But the impending difficulties with France, which prompted the organization of an army, being happily adjusted, he saw but little service. This latter year he visited Canandaigua in the interest of his father, to attend the sale under foreclosure of a piece of land AMITY. 5 1 subsequently known as the Church Tract, to which previous allusion has been made. He bid the property in and took a deed in his own name, dated May 6, 1800, though his father was jointly interested with him. From that time his energies were directed to the settlement and improvement of the lands embraced in his purchase. In July, 1801, he headed an expe- d'tion which met by previous appointment at the settlement in Almond, and which was organized for the purpose of exploring his lands. The next year he sent, his agent and surveyor, Evert Van Wickle, to select the site of a village, and begin improvements. A spot near the center of the tract was designated as the site of a village, which was named Angelica, 'after his mother. This year also he visited the country and selected his farm and future residence on the bank of the Genesee, at Belvidere. Several months of each of the two following years were spent by Mr. Church in the per- sonal supervision of improvements upon his lauds ; and on the 14th of July of the latter year (1804) he was admitted to the bar, though he practiced his profession only a short time. February 4, 1805, Mr, Church married Anna Matilda, eldest daughter of Gen. Walter Stewart of Philadelphia, an officer of some prominence during the Revolutionary War, and the fol- lowing June the pair started for the home — the " white-house" — prepared for them in the wilderness. They came by way of All)any, Geneva, Bath and Hornellsville, from the latter place on horseback, most of the way by a bridle-path through the woods, accompanied by Thomas Morris. They lived in the " white house" till the completion of their stone mansion in 1810. Mjr. Church busied himself in the meantime principally with the management of his landed estate. In 1805 he pur- chased and had drove to Belvidere twenty-four sheep. Arriving late at night they were folded close by the house. In the morn- ing he invited his brother-in-law, from New York, who was then his guest, to see them, when he discovered that the wolves had killed nineteen of the number during the night. In 1811 Mr. Church visited England, one of .the objects of his visit being to learn from personal observation the system of English agriculture. He collected several works on that sub- ject, which he carefully studied on his return in 1813 ; but, owing to the many differences existing between the two coun- tries, it is questionable whether much practical good resulted therefrom. He, however, conferred a lasting benefit upon the country by the introduction of a very superior stock of im- ported cattle. The greatest advantage derived from this visit is found in the light he obtained and the impulse given to his mind on the subject of internal improvements, especially the 52 A3fITY. railroad system then just beginning to occupy speculative minds. He is accredited with originating and pushing to com- pletion the Genesee Valley Canal and the Erie R. R., though he preferred and advocated the construction of a railroad in place of the canal. While in Et)gland he procured and for- warded to "New York drawings of the sewers of London, together with explanatory documents on that subject; for which, on his return, he received a letter of thanks from the Common Council of that city. "The remainder of his active life after 1813," says a writer in the Angelica, Rep&rter for Jan. 22, 1861, to which and to Tamer's Pioneer Bis- tort/ of Phelps and Gorham''s Purchase we are largely indebted for the fore- going facts relative to Judge Church, " was mostly occupied in the settle- ment of his lands, where he pursued an enlightened, liberal and lenient policy, and with the co-ordinate subject of Internal Improvements. On this latter subject he bestowed all the energies of his mind, and he wrought out results, wtiich, had they been commended to the public as proceeding from prominent official station, would have given him an extended and enduring fame. He worked, as it were, in private, behind the scenes ; patiently and laboriously preparing materials, combating prejudices, coq- ciliating adverse interest, stirring up and stimulating enterprise; till the conceptions of his mind became at length vivified creations, and the drama was successfully cast and presented to the public, heralded by the horn of the boatmen along the valley of the Genesee, and by the whistle of the locomotive from ' New York to Erie.' " Mr. Church did not seek political preferment. The only office he held was that of First Judge of the County, holding the appointment from 1807 to 1821. In politics he was a Fed- eralist. He died at his residence of herpes, in January, 1861, at the advanced age of eighty-three years. Harry Davis, from Oneida Co., but originally from Hamp- shire Co., Mass., settled near Philipsville in 1805 and remained there till his death. Settlements were made by Wm. Dayton, who came from Dutchess Co. about 1818, and settled in the south-west part of the town, about three miles west of the river, where he remained till his death in 1842; by Wm. Noble, who came from Whitehall, Washington Co., in 1824, and resided here till his death in 1868; and Henry J. Hoggland and his son Hiram, who came from Dryden, Tompkins Co., in 1826, and tlie latter of whom still lives near the old homestead. The first birth was that of Hannah Hyde, Nov. 4, 1804; the first marriage, that of Laomi Asthley and Rachel Baker, in 1807; and the first death, that of Harvey Manning, in 1806. The first school was taught in 1810, by Polly Baker. The first inn was kept in 1809, at Belvidere, by Ebenezer Hyde. The first store was kept at Philipsville, by Alvin E. .e*arker, in 1830. The first saw mill was built on Genesee River, in 1806, and the first grist mill, in 1808, both by Philip Church. AMITY— ANDOVER. 53 The first religious meeting was held at the house of Samuel Van Cam- pen, by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1814; and the first Church was formed by Rev Jonathan Post, a Baptist, in 181(}. The Free Methodist Church was organized with five members in 1860, by Rev. J. W. Reddy, the first pastor, and the church edifice, which will seat 150 persons, was erected in 1861, at a cost of $700. The Society, numbering thirty-eight, is under the pastoral care of Rev R. S. Phillips, our informant, and its property is valued at $2,000. ANDOVER was formed from Independence, Jan. 28, 1824. A part was re-annexed to Independence the same year, and a part of Wellsville was taken off Nov. 22, 1855. The first town meeting was held at the house of Luther Strong, March 2, 1824, -and the following named officers were elected: — Thaddeus Baker, Supervisor; Amherst Kingsbury, Town Clerk; Caleb Kingsbury, Hazard P. Clark and Luther Strong, Asses- sors; Joel Norton, Ichabod Babcock and Horace Mallory, Com- missioners of Hi(jhways; Joseph Clark and Caleb Kinsbury, Overseers of the Poor; Luther Strong, Barnabas Reid and Asa S. Allen, Cormnissioners of Common Schools; Asa S. Allen, Bar- nabas Reid and John S. Baker, Inspectors of Common Schools; Roswell Adams, Collector; Roswell Adams and Jacob Clark, Constables. The town lies upon the east border of the county, s )uth of the center, and contains 23,756 acres. The surface is very hilly and still retains some of the original pine forests. Dykes Creek flows west through the central part, receiving several small tributaries, the principal of which is Elm Creek. The soil is chiefly a heavy loam, resting on hard pan, and is best adapted to grazing. The manufacture of pine lumber was for many years the leading pursuit, but that has vastly diminished. Dairying is the chief branch of agriculture. The Erie R. R. enters the town near the center of the north line, and runs south to Andover village, where it deflects to the west, and leaves it near the center of the west line. The population of the town in 1870 was 1873, all of whom were white, 1618, native and 255, foreign. An"dover (p. v.) is centrally located, on Dykes Creek and on the Erie R. R., and is nicely laid out, the streets crossing each other at right angles. It contains five churches, a graded school, which employs four teachers and has about 200 scholars in attendance, twenty stores of various kinds, three hotels, a printing office (the Andover Advertiser, a Republican journal, established in 1868, and published weekly by E. S. Barnard,) a grist mill, tannery, cabinet shop, planing and turning mill, three wagon shops, one foundry, five blacksmith shops, a livery stable, cheese factory, woolen mill and about 850 inhabitants. i> 54 ANDOVER. Wm. Richardson d: Co.'s tannery, located in Andover village, gives employment to about eighteen persons and tans about 500 pieces per week. Elm Valley (formerly known as Shoemakers Corners) is a hamlet situated on Dykes Creek and the Erie K. R., near the west line of the town, and contains a wagon shop, painl shop,' blacksmith shop and some six houses. Settlement was commenced in 1796 by Stephen Cole, who came from Tioga Co.. Pa., and located at Elm Valley. He took up a farm and lived on it the rest of his life. Daniel Cole, his son, who was born Feb. 18. 1797, was the first white child born in the town and the first white male child born in the county. He remained upon the farm on which he was born till his death at the age of a little over seven ty-thi-ee years. James Dyke, from Tioga Point, Pa., settled in the same locality and about the same time that Cole did, indeed their settlement was so nearly contemporaneous that doubts are expressed as to which came first. Benjamin Brookings and John T. Hyde, fron> Vermont, settled near the same place soon after. Fami- lies bv the name of HoUiday, Henderson and Converse were also early settlers. Alpheus Baker came with his family from Granville, Washington Co., in July, 1807, and stopped tempora- rily two miles west of Andover village. He built a log house on the site of Andover village, which was the firsc erected there, and the following March he moved into it, fie was the first settler in that village. Thaddeus Baker, from the town of Poultney, Vt., came to the site of Andover village June 20, 1807, having previously been employed by the Poultney estate to survey the towns of Almond and Andover. While surveying Andover he took up 400 acres of land on the site of the village. Having finished the survey he returned to Ver- mont, sold out, and moved here, coming the entire distance with an ox team and lumber wagon. He first moved into a log house about two miles west of the village, and in the sum- mer of 1808 he removed to a new log house he had built on his lands in the village. He lived upon this farm the rest of his life. He was the first justice of the peace and the first post- master in the town. Seth Baker, his brother, came with hira from Vermont and settled two miles west of the village. Joseph Baker and his wife and seven children and Joseph Woodruff and his wife and three children settled in. the town Oct. 15, 1810; and Reuben Castle and wife, in 1812. Robert Boyd moved in from Canandaigua in 1819, and settled in the western part, on lot 40. When he came in the nearest store was at Hornellsville, and there was only one there. Hazard P. Clark came from Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1820, and took up a ANDOVER. 55 farm in the south, part, where he remained till his death. John S. Baker moved in from Genoa, Cayuga Co., in 1823, and took up a farm in the north-east part, where he still lives. John Swink, from Northumberland Co., Pa., settled in the eastern part in February of the same year. _ James Adams settled in the northern part, July 11, 1834. He came from Rutland Co., Vt., with an ox team and lumber wagon, bringing with him his wife and two small children, the journey occupying twenty- four days. He took up a farm of 123 acres, on which he is still living at the advanced age of 85 years. He still retains much of his physical vigor. Though the date of his settlement is comparatively recent the country at that time was quite new, but few improvements having been made. Andover vil- lage, he says, then contained but one frame and three log houses. One authority says that Nathaniel Dyke built the first framed house and barn in the town at Elm Valley ; and another that the former was built by Stephen Cole about 1817 or '18, and the latter by Willard Adams, in 1818, both at Elm Valley. Asa S. Allen built the first framed house in the village. The first school was taught by Lois Strong, in her father's house, about 18i9. The first school house — a log structure — was erected at the village about 1822 or '3. Luther Strong built the first saw and grist mill about three-fourths of a mile east of the village, in 1819; and kept the first hotel in 1820. The first store was kept at the village by Asa S. Allen, in 1823. Isaac Dyke and Pamelia Gilson contracted the first marriage in 1802. The oldest burying ground in the town is at Elm Valley. The first white person who died in the town is buried there. The oldest graves are those of Zeriah Dyke, who died Jan. 21, 1798, aged 10 months and 5 days; Lydia Dyke, who died Aug. 2, 1801, aged 2 years, 5 months and 2 days; and Lecttey, or Leottey, Dyke, who died March 6, 1803, aged 6 months and 6 days. They are all daughters of James and Phebe Dyke. The tombstones, which are common flat stones and were prob- ably obtained in the immediate vicinity, are still standing, and the inscriptions, though dim, are still legible. The latter are distinct, but probably were not executed by a hand skilled in the art. The remains of Daniel Cole, the first white child born in the town, are interred there. The first religious services were held at the house of Mr. Dyke, by Rev. Silas Hubbard, in1808; and the first Church (Congregational) was formed by Rev. Robert Hubbard, July 14th, 1824. The First Baptist Church of Andover was organized with twelve mem- bers, Dec. 31, 1829, by Phil. Wardner, Samuel Rush, Ambrose Coats and others. The church edifice, which will seat 200 persons, wa^ erected in 1853, at a cost of about $3,000, the present value of Church property. 50 ANDOVER— ANGELICA. The first pastor was Elder V. Bemus; the present one is Rev. F. F. Shearer. The number of members is about ninety-eight. [Information furnished by Mr. Daniel 8. Bradley. The First M. E. Chiircli of Andover was organized with eleven members, by Rev. Samuel Nichols, the first pastor, in 1840, in which year their first house of worship was erected. The Society has built two houses and have sold both of them. They are now building a new one, which is designed to seat 700 persons and cost $10,000. The present pastor is Rev. Cook. [Information furnished by Mr. Jason Hunt. St. John's Catholic Church, at Andover, was organized with about 300 members, by Rev. John Tohey, the first pastor, in 1856, in which year their church edifice, which will seat about 350 persons, was erected, at a cost of about $800. The present number of members is about 600, and the present pastor is Rev. Philip Kensella. The Church property is valued at $2,000. [Information furnished by Mr. James O'Leary. The First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Andover was organized with 43 members, by Rev. A. H. Lewis, the first pastor, in 1870. Their house of worship will seat 300 persons It was bought of the Methodists in 1871, for $3,000, the present value of Church property. The pastor is Rev. T. W. Williams. The number of members is tiie same as at its organization. [Information furnished by Mr. Wm. B. Clark. ANGELICA was formed from Leicester, Livingston Co., Feb. 25, 1805, and was named by Philip Church in honor of his mother, the eldest daughter of Gen. Philip Schuyler. Alfred and Caneadea were taken off March 11, 1808 ; Allen and Scio, Jan. 31, 1823 ; a part of Amity, Feb. 22. 1830 ; and a part of West Almond, April 15, 1833. Another part was annexed to Alfred in 1816. The first town meeting was held at the house of Joseph Taylor the first Tuesday in April, 1805, and the following named oflScers were elected : — Benjamin Riggs, Supervisor ; Joseph S. Hall, Town Clerk ; Luke Guodspeed, Syl- vanus Russell and Elijah Church, Assessors; John T. Hyde, Wm. Barney and Jacob S. Holt, Commissioners of Highways ; John T. Hyde, Collector; David Church, Constable; Wm. Barney and Evert Van Wickle, Overseers o/ the Poor ; Stephen Waterman, Thomas Cole, John Bennett, Ezra Bacon and George Otto, Overseers of Highways ; ^ose^h. Taylor, Abisha Cole and Wm. S. Heydon, Fence Vieicers. The town lies a little north of the center of the county, and contains 22,740 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the deep ravines of the streams. Genesee River flows across the south-west corner, and its tributary, ^Angelica Creek, through the center. The soil is a clayey loam upon the up- lands, and a gravelly loam in the valleys. The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R. passes through the central part of the town. The population in 1870 was 1643; of whom 1431 was native, 212, foreign, 1612, white and 31, colored. ANGELICA. 57 Angelica, (p. v.) .the county seat, is situated near the center of the town, on Angelica Creek. It was incorporated as a vil- lage May 2, 1835. It contains the court house, jail, ti\e churches, the Angelica Academy, one bank {First National Bank of Angelica, organized in November, 18G4, with a capital of $100,000,) a newspaper office, {the Angelica Republican Qsi'dhW&hedi. in 1835, and published weekly by P. S. Norris,) three hotels, several stores of various kinds, and various mechanic shops and manufacturing establishments. The population in 1870 was 991 Blair & Franklin'' s flouring mill, situated one mile west of Angelica, is four stories high and contains four runs of stones which annually grind 15,000 to 20,000 bushels of wheat, 30,000 to 40,000 bushels of corn, and 20,000 to 25,000 bushels of oats. The machinery is propelled by a water-wheel twenty-four feet in diameter. The Joncy Paper Mill, situated on Angelica Creek, one mile west of the village, was erected and used a number of years as a paper mill. In 1853 it was converted into a paper mill by Albert Brown, who made the first paper manufactured in Alle- gany county, and who continued the manufacture till his death in 1873, when he was succeeded by his son Charles Brown. The building is five stories high. Both steam and water are used as motors. Straw and rags are used in the manufacture. Twenty- seven persons are employed, and 300 tons of paper annually made. In connection with the paper mill is a steam saw-mili, where lumber, shingles and lath are made. The county poor house is located about two miles east of Angelica. Settlement was commenced in 1801 under the auspices of Judge Philip Church, a grand-son of Gen. Philip Schuyler, who i'h that year headed an exploring party to the Church Tract, owned jointly by himself and father, John B. Church of New York. Judge Church spent much of his time during the early years of settlement at Angelica in supervising improvements he projected, but he fixed his residence at Belvi- dere, in the town of Amity, in connection with the early settle- ments of which town a more extended notice of him is given. Settlements were made in this year (1801) by John Gibson, Abram Post, and possibly by Arad Rice. Gibson moved in from Geneva, having emigrated from Scotland about 1796. He accompanied Mr. Church in his explorations of 1801, and kept the store opened by the latter in 1802. He was the first sheriff in the county. He continued bis residence in the vicinity of Angelica to a ripe old age. Abram Post came from New Jersey and settled west of Angelica, where he remained about thirty 58 ANGELICA. years. He was at onetime overseer of Philip Church's farm. His son Peter was born in 1807, and is still living at Belvidere. Arad Rice was from Vermont. He located on George Simons' farm and remained there till his death in 1848. Evert Van Wickle and John Lewis, both of whom accompanied Mr. Church on his tour of exploration, came to Angelica in 1802. Mr. Van Wickle was surveyor and local agent for Mr. Church, and under his immediate supervision the first substantial im- provements were made. The site of Angelica had previously been designated by Mr. Church for the building up of a village, and there Van Wickie's operations were directed. The erection of a saw and grist mill, the latter designed for one run of stones, was commenced. The saw mill was completed and got in operation in 1803 and the grist mill in 1803. A road was cut the same year (1802) from the west line of Steuben to Angelica, by Silas Ferry and John Ayers, the latter of whom continued his residence to a late day near the transit bridge. A frame dwell- ing for Mr. Van Wickle, a small log land office and a few shan- ties for dwellings were also erected that year. Joseph Taylor opened a tavern in 1802 ; and Judge Church, a small store, which, as previously stated, was managed by the late John Gibson. These were the first improvements of their kind in the town. Mr. Hedding and a Mr. Chamberlain settled at Angelica in 1803; and in that year a road was opened from Angelica to Belvidere. In 1805 Major Moses Van Campen, who first settled at Almond, removed to Angelica. Henry Mapes and his son Abraham Mapes, (the latter of whom is now living in the town of Belfast,) from Penn Yan, Yates Co., and Alex. Dautremont, from Chenango Co., settled in the town in 1806. At an early day the nearest post office to Angelica was Bath, and about this time, or a little earlier, the citizens clubbed together and contracted with Wm. Barney to make the trip, carrying letters and papers, once a month. A son of Mr. Barney's, who was blind, made the trips till he was killed by a fall from his horse. Hyde de Neuville — an exile during the government of the Empire, and minister to the U. S. upon the restoration of the French monarchy, from 1816 to 1822 — resided at Angelica in 1807-8 ; and Victor Dupont, also a dis- tinguished French exile, was an early settler at Angelica. John Hooker, from Athens, Vt., and Vial Thomas, from the town of Scituate, R. I., settled in the town in 1809. At this time there were only a few shanties where the village now is. John Common, from Northumberlandshire, England, came in 1818. Edmund Coats, a native of Connecticut, moved in from Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1819. In 1822 he was united in marriage to Miss Catharine Burns, (who removed to this town ANGELICA. 59 with her father Christian Burns, from Montgomery Co. in May, 1817, at the age of thirteen years,) and in 1823 he removed to the town of Independence, where his wife has since resided, settling on lot 48. About 1850 he went west, where he now lives. Russell Burlingame settled in the town in 1820. The first birth in town, says French, was that of Catherine S. Mul- leiider. Mrs. Moses V. Chamberlain of Belfast says that her husband, who was born in Angelica March 31, 1804, was the first white male child born in town. French also says that the first marriage was that of SyWanus Russell and Esther Van Wickle, in 1805; while we are otherwise advised that the mar- riage of John Palmer and Catharine MuUiuder was the first. The first death was that of Ira Stephens, Sep. 20, 1803. The first school was taught in 1804 — 05 by Widow S. Smith. The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1811; and the first Church, now denominated the bimt PreAyterian Church, of which, as well as the Church at Almond, he wa^ installed pastor Aug. 20, 1812, was organized by Rev. John Niles, then pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Bath, May 6, 1812, with six mem- bers, viz : Moses Van Campen and Margaret his wife. James Renwick, David Chamberlain, Elizabeth his wife and Mrs. Prudence Johnson, his daughter, Moses Van Campen was chosen ruling elder in the Church the same day. The installation services were held on the veranda of Evert VauWickle's house, the female part of the congregation being accommo- dated with seats in the house, and most of the males in the open air in front of it. In 1830 their first house of worship was erected ; and in 18.16 the present one, which will seat 400 persons, was erected, at a cost of $7,0U0. Tlie Society, which is without a pastor, numbers 130, and its property is valued at $10,000. Mr. Hubbard's connection with the Church was dis- solved Oct. 4, 1826, wlien he removed to Dansville, where he was instru- mental in gathering a Church, though he was never again regulaily installed as pastor. "Mr. Hubbard," says Hotchkin in his Hisinry of Western New York, to which, and to Mr. Smith Davis of Angelica, we are indebted for the foregoing facts relative to this Society, "was a native of Shelburne, [Mass.] He was a graduate of Williams' College of the class of 1803. He was probably about twenty years old when he left College ; regular in his habits, but not pious. After leaving college he commenced the study of the law, and piirsued it, as the author believes, about two years. During this period his attention was cailed to a consideration of the things which concerned the salvation of his soul ; his views were radically changed, and he was led to enter- tain a hope in Christ. The change in Mr. Hubbard was very visible, and through the remainder of his life was very distinctly marked. When he was brought by the teachings of the spirit and personal experience to know the value of an interest in Christ, he ardently desired that his f eUow-men might be partakers of the same benefit. The ministry of reconciliation appeared to him a most desirable employ- ment. He relinquished the study of the law, and commenced the study of Theology under the tuition of Dr. Packard, the pastor of the Church of Shelburne. * * * His licensure took place, probably, in 1809-'10. He is known to have been recently licensed, when he came into Western NewYork in 1810. During the period in which he resided in the county of Allegany, his labors were by no means confined to the congregations from which he received his support, but were extended through all parts of that county, and the western part of the county of Steuben. He was the only minister of the Presbyterian denomination in the region. He was unwearied in his labors, and in attending to his ministerial appointments was utterly regardless of the vicissitudes of the weather. But it was impossible for him to cultivate so extensive a field in any thorough manner ; hence he was not distinguished for great success and remarkable results. He formed a number of churches and kept them alive : but it was impossi- ble for him to bestow upon them the amount of labor needed to cause them to flourish. He undertook to cultivate too large a field, and would probably have been 60 ANGELICA— BELFAST. more useful, had his field of labor been more circumscribed. Mr. Hubbard was through life distinguished for a devotional spirit. He evidently lived near to God. He was remarkable for his indifference to the things of the world, and for his exten- sive charity. At any time he was ready to divide the last loaf with any destitute person. He was not, however, always judicious in his charities, but suffered him- self to be imposed upon by the worthless and designing. During the last years of his life his health was feeble ; consumptive symptoms manifested themselves ; but to the extent of his power he continued in the work of the ministry, although he had no particular charge of any congregation. Death overtook him at Canisteo, where he had gone to perform the work of the ministry, on the 24th day of May, liilO, and in the fifty-seventh year of his age." 8t. Paul's Church, (Protestant Episcopal,) at Angelica, was organized by Rev. Wm. Bostwick, the first pastor, in 1828. The first house of worship was erected in 1834 ; and in 1848 the present one, which will seat 300 per- sons, was erected at a cost of $3,500. Tlie present pastor is Rev. John Leech, our informant, and the number of members, sixty-two. The Church property is valued at $5,500. BEL FAST was formed from Caneadea, March 24, 1824, as Orrinsbiirgh, and its named changed April 21, 1825. Another part of Caneadea was annexed in 1831. The first town meeting was held April 6, 1824, and the following named officers were elected: David Hitchcock, Supervisor; Elijah Reynolds, Toivn Clerk; Elisha Chamberlain, Jr., Constable and Collector ; So\o- mon Benjamin, John Mcintosh and John McKeen, Assessors ; Packard Bruce, Nathaniel Reynolds and Joseph Benjamin, Com- missioners of Highioays ; Joseph T.

The town lies a little north-west of the center of the connty and contains 21,988 acres. The surface is broken and hilly, especially in the western part, and is separated into distinct ridges. The summits of the highest hills are 600 to 800 feet above the streams. It is drained by Genesee River, which crosses the north-east part, and its tributaries Black and White creeks, which flow diagonally in a north-easterly direction through the town. Crawford Creek, also a tributary to the Genesee, crosses the north-west corner. The creeks flow through narrow, irregular valleys bordered by abrupt hillsides. The soil upon the hills isaclayey loam and in the valleys, especially in that of the Genesee, a highly productive gravelly loam. About a mile above the mouth of White Creek is a quarry from which large quantities of stone are annually taken. The Genesee Valley Canal crosses the north-west part of the town, in the valley ot Black Creek. The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R., crosses the town from East to West, following the valley of Black Creek after crossing the Genesee; The population of the town in 1870 was 1,488; of whom all were white, 1,367, native and 121, foreign. BELFAST. Q 1 Belfast, (p. v.) situated on the west bank of the Genesee, near the north line of the town, and adjacent to the Genesee Valley Canal, is the seat of Genesee Valley Seminary., which was chartered in 1856, opened Dec. 2, 1857, will accommodate 300 students, and is under the charge of the M.

Transit Bridge (p. o.) is a hamlet situated on the Genesee River and on the east line of the town, and contains a cheese factory. 62 BELFAST. EocKViLLE is a hamlet situated on the Genesee Valley Canal in the west part of the town. It is named from a grindstone quarry in the vicinity which is not now worked. Settlement was commenced in 1803, by Benjamin, Elisha, Calvin and David Chamberlain, brothers, who came from Penn- sylvania and located on Genesee River, near the line of Angelica. 1'hey were followed soon after by Nathaniel Reynolds, Thaddeus Bennett and David Sanford. Jedediah Nobles and Benjamin Littleton, from Elmira, came in 1805, and located, the former on the river, and the latter on Wigwam Creek. George Jenkins says he was born on lot 10, on the east side of Genesee River, in 1808, and lived there until 1816, when he moved with his father to lot 48, on White Creek, upon which stream, he says, they were the first settlers. Thomas Mapes, now of Willing, was born in Belfast in IVlarch, 1811, and has been a resident of this county most of his life. Rockwell Harper, who was born in Chemung Co., in 1792, removed to this town in February, 1812, and settled on lot 10, where he now lives. Simon C. Moore was born in Oxford, Worcester Co., Mass., Aug. 7, 1791, and removed thence on foot to Belfast, May 13, 1813, riding only across the Hudson. After teaching school one year he entered the store of Alex. Dautremont of Angelica as clerk, there he remained three years when he removed to the town of Cuba and settled three-fourths of a mile south of Cuba village. Mr. Moore says that when he went to Angelica there was no church there, meetings being held in the jail. Harry Byrns, a native of Oneida Co., removed with his father from that county to Scio in 1812, and to this town in 1813, locating a little south of the village of Belfast, where, he says, there was, at that time, only a saw and grist mill and a log shanty owned by Elder Sanford. These were the first mills in the town and were erect- ed by David San lord, on the river, just below the village, in 1809. He also, it is believed, built the first framed house, at the village. Mr. Byrns, who still lives where he first located, says his father's was the first painted framed house in town, in 1829. Joseph T. Ford and wife, natives of Connecticut, came in 1818. Lewis H. Ford, also a native of Connecticut, came in 1819 and settled in the north-east part of the town, on lot 8, on the place now occupied by John Sellon. Mrs. Milton Millett, a native of Canada, settled in the town in 1820, on White Creek, on the section line of lot 55. 0. A. Jenkins was born in Belfast in 1822 and lived there till 1847, when here- moved to Whitesville, in the town of Independence, where he now resides. Settlements were made in 1824 by Mrs. Ezra Tibbetts, Charles Drew and Matthew Lounsbury. Mrs. Tibbetts is a native of Connnecticut. She settled on lot 11, where BELFAST. 63 George Ramsey now lives. Drew and Lounsbury settled in the south-west corner of the town, the former on lot 9 and the latter on lot 1. Drew is a native of Orange Co. In 1837 he erected a saw mill on the north branch of White Creek, which then afforded a good water power, though there is not now sufficient water to run a mill. Lounsbury is a native of New Jersey. He came into the county from Steuben Co., with an ox t?am and s'ed, cutting his road before him, the year previous to his settlement in this town. He purchased 123 acres of land from the Holland Land Co., paying therefor $2.50 per acre. While at Angelica he had a ring put in his ox yoke, the charge for which was nineteen cents, but as he did not have the money to pay for it he was obliged to give his note for the amount, paya- ble one day after date. He and his brother Samuel built a log shanty by felling trees and covered it with bark. He lay at night for three weeks with his rifle in his hand to defend himself from the attack of wild beasts which were then very nu'uerous. He threshed his wheat with a flail and cleaned it with a hand fan, which was made of deer skin strained over a hoop. He could clean over twenty bushels in a day. He brought with him apple seeds from which he raised a nursery and set out trees. Starkey Gleason, a native of Seneca Co., moved in with his father in 1825. In 1842 he removed to the town of New Hudson, where he now lives. He remembers while living in Belfast ot seeing nine deer in a wheat field at one time. Stephen Willson, a native of Susquehanna Co., Pa., moved in here in 1829. Wm. Pasco, a native of Washington Co., came the same year and settled near the line of Friendship, on the farm now occupied by Wm. Guilford. Mrs. Lucinda Crawford moved in from Yates Co., in 1830 and settled on "Gleason Hill." In July, 1838, a destructive tornado which crossed the county from north-west to south-east did much damage in this town. It swept away houses, barns and other moveable things and laid the forest trees in a wind-row nearly half a mile wide. Large trees were torn up by the roots or broken and carried some- times a distance of twenty feet through the air and left in hugh piles twelve to twenty leet high. So great was its force that trees that had for some time been felled were moved froni their posi- tion. Articles, says Lewis Ford, were carried a distance of a mile, and one, Charles Bullock, and family, seeing the gale coming, sought refuge upon the bed, which, with its human freight, was carried a distance of four or five rods. Their house was demolished above them and they badly injured. Stephen Willson says he was putting his team in the barn when the tornado struck them. The barn was moved from its foundation and he buried beneath its ruined timbers. His wife, he says, 64 BELFAST— BIBDSALL. clung to the casing of a door near the chimney. The house was moved about six feet. The chimney fell through to the cellar, leaving his wife standing on the edge of the chasm. Siding from his house was carred a distance of ten or twelve miles. The first birth in town was that of Deborah Reynolds, in August, 1805. The first marriage was that of John Sanford and Mary Collar, in 1806. The first school was taught by Elijah Reynolds, in 1807. Joseph S. Raymond kept the first inn, near the village, in 1821. Samuel King and Martin Butts kept the first store, on lot 12, near where J. H. Chamberlain now lives, in 1824. The first house upon the hill where Belfast village now is was a log structure built in 1816, by Alex. V. P. Chamberlain. The first store in the same locality was kept by B. Chamberlain and — — Hues, about 1840, and the first hotel, by Henry D. Lyman, about 1842. Rev. Ephraim Sanford, a Baptist, conducted the first religious services at the house of Nathaniel Reynolds, in 1806, and formed the first Church in 1807—08. — French's Gazetteer of New York. The First Baptist Church of Belfast was organized with twelve members, by Rev. Sanford, in ISU. The church edifice was erected in 1843, at a cost of $1,200. It will seat 250 persons. The first pastor was Rev. Isaiah Smith. The Society, numbering fifty, is under the pastoral care of Rev. R. E. Hillman, and its property is valued at $4,000. — [Infoi'ination furnished by Mr. Lewis H. Ford. ] The First M. E. Church of Belfast erected their house of worship, which will seat 275 persons, in 1848, at a cost of $1500. It consists of seventy- one members. Its property is valued at $5,000. The pastor is Rev. E. J. Cook, our informant, who is unable to give fuller data in consequence of the loss of the early records. HIRDSALL was formed from Allen and Almond, May 4, 1829, and derives its name from Judge John Birdsall, Circuit Judge of the Eighth Judicial District in 1828-9. The first town meeting was held at the house of James Matthews in 1829, and the following named officers were elected: Andrew C. Hull, Supervisor; Horace B. Camp, Town Clerk; Thomas Parker, R.

It is an interior town, lying north-east of the center of the county, and contains 22,267 acres. The surface is principally a BIRDSALL. 65 hilly upland, separated into several distinct ridges. The declivi- ties of the hills are usually very abrupt, and their highest sum- mits are 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. Black Creek, flow- ing south through the west part, and the head waters of Canisteo River, in the south-east part, form the principal drainage. The soil is clay loam, underlaid by hard-pan, and is well adapted to wheat and grass. The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R., as surveyed, extends in a south-westerly direction through the central part of the town. The population of the town in 1870 was 755; of whom all were white, 652, native and 103, foreign. BiRT^SALL, (p. o.) situated on the line of the proposed R., J^. & P. R. R., one mile west of the center of the town, contains a church, (M. E.) two stores, one blacksmith shop, one saw mill and a few dwellings. The building of a hotel is comtemplated. The first settlement was made on lot 24, by Josiah Whitman in 1816. Wm. P. Schaack and a man named Vance, from New Jersey, and Jeremiah VanWormer, from Cayuga Co., settled here soon after. James Matthews, also from New Jersey, settled on lot 21, near the center, in 1818. Wm. Dey and his son, Lemuel C. Dey, came in from Cayuga Co., in 1822 and settled on lot 5. John I., James I., and Lawrence J. Dey and John Mesei-all came in from Middlesex Co., N. J., in 1823, and settled on lot 5. The first birth was that of James E, Matthews, son of James Matthews, March 7. 1820; the first marriage was that of Samuel VanWickle to Harriet Freeman, daughter of Reuben Freeman, in 1821 ; and the first death, that of Leah Riggs. daughter of John Riggs, in 1824. Hannah Scott taught the first school in 1822. Elias Hull kept the first inn and Joseph B. Welch the first store, in 1828. \Vra. Lord erected the first saw mill, on Black Creek, in 1823 or '24. The first religious services were held at the house of Wm. Dey, by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1823 ; and the first Church (M. E.) was formed by Rev. Eleazur Dewey, in 1825. Crittenden M. E. Church, at Birdsall, was organized with four members in 1857, by Rev. Alfred I. Blanchard, the first pastor. The church edifice was erected in 1871. It cost $2,000, one half the present value of the Church property, and will seat 200 persons. There are sixty members, who are under the spiritual tutelage of Rev. George Sherer. [Information furnished by Mr. Charles P. Headley. St. Joseph's Church (Catholic) was organized with forty-three members, and their house of worship, which will seat eighty persons, was erected in 1850, at a cost of $900. The first pastor was Rev. Daniel More ; the present one is Rev. Peter Donehue. The Society numbers forty-five, and its property is valued at $1,000. {Information furnished by Mr. Thomas Riley ] 66 BOLIVAR. BOLIVAB was formed from Friendship, Feb. 15, 1835. A part of Wirt was taken off April 13, 1838. Tiie first town meeting was held March 1, 1835, and the following named officers were elected: Asa Cowles, Supervisor; Austin Cowles, Totvn Clerk; Pliny L. Evans, Jonah French and Eli Lesuer, Assessors; Elijah Fuller, Collector; Simon Wightman and Jonathan Hitchcock, Overseers of the Poor; Elijah Fuller and Philip Ai)pleby, Constables; and Levi Appleby, Ebenezer Kel- logg and Alvan Richardson, Commissioners of Common Schools. The town lies npon the south border, west of the center of the county, and contains 32,600 acres. The surface is a broken, hilly upland, the hills in some parts being too steep for profita- ble cultivation. It is drained by Little Genesee Creek, which crosses the north-west corner, Honeoye Creek, which crosses the south-east corner, and Horse Creek, a small tributary to the latter stream, which flows thl-ough the south-west part. The soil upon the hills is a reddish clay loam, and in the valleys a gravelly loam. It is generally best adapted to grazing. The })eople are principally engaged in farming, dairying being the chief pursuit in the northern and western parts. Thepopulation in 1870 was 959 ; of whom all, except fifteen, were native and all, except three, white. BoLiVAE, (p. o.) situated on Little Genesee Creek and on the line of the proposed R., N. & P. R. R., in the north-west part of the town, contains a church, (M.E.) one hotel, three general stores, one boot and shoe store, one grocery, a grist mill, a small tannery, wagon shop, blacksmith shop, harness shop, two shoe shops, cheese factory, thirty-seven dwellings and about 180 inhabitants. South Bolivar, (p. o.) (locally known also as Honeoye Corners and Honeoye Forks,) situated on Honeoye Creek, in the south part, contains a wagon shop, blacksmith shop, nine dwellings and about fifty inhabitants. Two or three years previous to the first permanent settlement Zephaniah Smith, a hunter from Unadilla, Otsego Co., was accustomed to spend the winter in this vicinity in hunting, re- turning in the summer to Otsego Co. His last visit was during the winter of 1818-19. He builta log hut about sixteen feet square, with a chamber, in which several of the first settlers lived till they could build a house of their own. He directed many of the first settlers to this town. This rude structure was the first human habitation in the town. The first permanent settlement was made Dec. 8, 1819, by Timothy Cowles, a native of Ver- mont, who came in from Otsego Co., and settled on lot 61, where he remained till about 1850, when he went west and BOLIVAR. 67 soon after died. His sons, Alvin T. and Erastus Cowles, the former of whom was born in Otsego Co., in 1808, and the lutter,in the town of Friendship, June 19, 1819,camein with him and still reside in the town. Alvin lived with his father till 1833, when he took up land on lot 52. In the spring of the same year Jonathan Hitchcock, in company with Alvin Richard- son and Nathan Gilbert, moved into the county. Hitchcock took up land on lot 48, in this town, in the south part of the village of Kichbnrg, while his companions located in the present town of Wirt, both of these towns being then a part of Friendship. Hitchcock actually made the first improvements in the towj), if we except Smith, though Cowles was the first to move his family in. Hitchcock bought the claim of Zephaniah Smith. He renovated the hut Smith had erected, puttino- in a new floor, and a new roof in place of the bark one. He also built a linter, or lean-to. During this season he cleared a piece of land on which he planted corn and potatoes, and later in the season he cleared some five acres, on which, in the autumn, he sowed wheat. In the latter part of November he started for Unadilla, Otsego Co., after his wife and children, four in num- ber, leaving his step-son and step daughter, Samuel and Polly Buckley, who came with him, at Azal Buckley's, in the town of Wirt, till his return. Mr. Hitchcock returned with his family Feb. 15, 1820, finding that Christopher Tyler, who had come in during the winter, had taken possession of the house. Mr. Tyler was born in Ehode Island, July 21, 1787. He removed to Friendship from Otsego Co., in company with Timothy, Asa and Austin Cowles, who also, its appears, remained a short time in that town, and the latter two of whom moved into this town soon after him. He lived with Mr. Hitchcock till June, 1820, when he removed to his own land on lot 55. Mr. Hitchcock lived in the town till his death in 1863, with the exception of one year. He was born in Northampton, Conn., Aug. 5, 1770. His son, Horace, who was born in January, 1812, and came in- to the town with the family, has since lived there, with the exception of six years. Eli Lesuer, who was born in Unadilla, Otsego Co., Nov. 25, .1796, removed thence to Bolivar in the autumn of 1821, and selected land on lot 62, where he built a log house. He then went back to Otsego after his family, returning with them the following January. The nearest grist mill and physician, he says, were at Friendship, a distance of twelve miles. The settlers were accustomed to put their grists upon a sled, to which two yokes of oxen were attached, and a man was selected to take them to mill. The journey occupied two to three days. The only article which commanded money was black salts, which all the first settlers made. Thev were 68 BOLIVAR. usually drawn to Friendship, but on one occasion Mr. Lesuer says he drew them to Franklinville. in Cattaraugus Co. He is still living in the town. Samuel Davie was bora in New Jer- sey, Feb. 14, 1790, and removed with his parents at an early age to Otsego Co. In March, 1823, he removed to this town and bought of Abram Crandall, a land speculator at Friend- ship, a piece of land he had selected on lot 63, upon which was a small log house, but no clearing. He C( mmenced a clearing for a garden plot and for corn. He remained until about the first of June, when, having made his garden and planted some corn, he went back to Oisegn Co. after his family, returning with them the same month. He brought with him a team of horses, which, he says, was the first in town and the only one between "Notch Hill," in Wirt, and Ceres. He served as a soldier for a short time in tiie war of 1812; and during the late war of the Rebellion heenlisted and was accepted by repre- senting himself to be only forty-four years old. His two sons on hearing of his enlistment, with much difficulty prevailed upon him to relinquish the idea of joining the army, and he only consented to do so on their promise to enlist themselves, which they finally did. He has resided in the town since he first came. Ebenezer Kellogg removed from the same county and. settled on lot 56, in or about the same year (1823.) Abel Eoot, a native of Otsego Co., removed trom Madison Co., to Scio in February, 1822, and in February, 1824, to lot 54 in this town, where he remained till 1845, when he moved to Illinois. Three children (Abel Jr., David C. and Truman B.,) who came with him, and one (James H.) who was born here, still live in the town. David C. Root lived with his father till he attained his majority, (in 1829) when he took an article for laud on lot 38, upon which he removed his family in 1831, and where h'e still lives. Abel Root Jr. married in 1826 and settled on lot 46, where he remained till 1839, when he removed to lot 38, where he still lives. He was the first settler in " Root Hollow." H. B. Newton moved in from Madison Co., in 1824, and settled at Bolivar village. In 1825 he and Asa Cowles opened a store there, which was the first one in the town. In 1831 he opened at the same place the first hotel, which he continued to keep till 1845. He died in the town in 1873, aged seventy-four years. Isaac and Wm. Wellman and Samuel Frost moved in from Verijiont the same year (1824,) and were the first to settle in the north-east part of the town. The Wellman brothers located on lot 16, remaining only a year, and Frost, on lot 24, where he lived about three years. Isaac Case and his son Bradford W. Case, the latter of whom was born in New Bed- ford, Mass., Sept. 6, 1812, moved from Onondaga Co. with an BOLIVAR. 69 OX team and settled in the south-east part of the town of Wirt in January, 1822. Owing to the depth of snow they were unable to reach their destination, so they stopped at Levi Applebee's, near the center of Wirt, till March, when they moved into the house the father had built the previous year. In 1825 they removed to lot 16 in this town. B. W. Case has lived in this town and Wirt since he first came to the county. He was a mechanic, and built nine saw mills for different par- ties in one year. He relates that in 1825 Samuel Frost and two or three of his sons went one Sunday afternoon to pick chest- nuts a little south of their house. At night Mr. Frost started home to do the chores, leaving his boys to follow when they had finished picking. When the latter reached home their father had not arrived and apprehending danger from his pro- tracted delay they went over to Isaac Case's to get help to search for him. They repaired to the locality where he had been pick- ing chestnuts, but could find no traceof him. The next morn- ing the neighbors were alarmed and joined in the search, and in the afternoon, as no tidings were learned of him, Mr. Case went to Friendship village to procure additional help to join the search, so that by Monday night some twenty or thirty men had gathered together. A' corresponding number of women had collected at the house of the missing man to help to cook and provide for the searchers. The search was continued until Thursday night, at day and more or less at night, when they met in council and decided that it was useless longer to con- tinue it. While they were thus engaged Mr. Case bethought him to look in a small gully near by. He soon discovered tracks which he followed to a muddy place, and while making a detour around this he discovered Mr. Frost lying beside a log, very weak and nearly insensible. A rude litter was constructed on which he was carried home. He was able to be around again in a few days. A ten quart pail with which he started for home was found on Tuesday, half full of chestnuts, and the large quantity of shucks which were found strewn around near it indicated that he had spent the previous night in walking be- tween two large trees twelve or lourteen feet apart. We pre- sume Mr. Frost became lost in the woods, though we are not advised upon that point. Peter Ayers removed from Seneca Co. to the town of Wirt in April, 1821, and in 1827, to this town, where he has since resided. David Thurber moved in from Cayuga Co. in March, 1829, and settled on lot 46, where he remained till his death in February, 1845. His wife still lives upon the old homestead. Jeremiah Burdick, from Cort- land Co., and Leonard Daniels, from Otsego Co., came in 1830, the latter in October. Burdick settled on lot 55, and lived in 70 BOLIVAR. the town till his death in 1873. Daniels settled on lot 53. Elias Scott, a native of New Hampshire, removed with his father to Friendship, from Genesee Co., in 1828, and in 1831, to lot 39, in this town, where he has since lived. Levi Lesner, from Otsego Co., settled on lot 55, in June, 1832. Charles Cowles, from Steuben Co., and James Davie, from Otsego Co., settled in the town in 1833, Davie on lot 54. In 1834 John Phillips, from Vermont, settled on lot 24. Clark Millard moved in from Otsego Co. and settled on lot 60, in October of the same year. In March. 1850, he removed to the town of Genesee, where he still resides. His son Nelson, who came with him. still lives in the town. S. W. Thomas was born at Angelica, Oct. 14, 1814, and in June, 1834, he removed to Richburg and entered the store of Nelson Hoyt as clerk. In 1836 Mr. Hoyt removed to Bolivar village and built and opened a store, which, says Mr. Thomas, was the first " regular" store in Bolivar. It was built in the winter of 1835-6, and opened in February, 1836. Mr. Thomas also connected himself with Mr. Hoyt as clerk in this store, and sold the first goods in it. In 1840 he entered into partnership with Mr. Hoyt, and three years thereafter he open- ed a store of his own. He has since continued that business in this village, with the exception of two years spent in Richburg in the same business. Mr. lioyt kept the store till his death about 1857. The first birth in town was that of Almond W. Cowles, in 1820; the first marriage, that of Daniel Kellogg arid Sophia Hitch- cock, in 1825; and the first death, that of a child of Luther Austin, in 1823. The first school house was a log structure, built on the north-east corner of lot 55, on lands now owned by S. G. S. Rowley, in the early part of the summer of 1820. The first school was taught the same summer by Rachel Gil- bert, at seventy-five cents per week. Austin Cowles taught in the winter of 1820-21. The first saw mill was built in 1822, on Little Genesee Creek, on lot 55, near the village, by an association of early settlers, consisting of Christopher Tyler, Asa and Austin Cowles and Luther Austin, the latter of whom was the millwright. Asa Cowles erected the first grist mill on lot 54, at the village, in 1824. Luther Austin built the first framed house on lot 55. Morris Wilson built and opened the first store at Honeoye Corners. He also kept the first public house there. Two brothers named Warner opened a grocery store at the Corners soon after Wilson did his. The first religious services were held by the Methodists and conducted by Austin Cowles, in 1820. The first Church was organized by the same denomination in 1828. The First Baptist Church of Richburg was organized in 1833, by Rev. BOLI VA R—B URNS. 7 \ Eliab Gowen, and the church edifice, which will seat 250 persons, was erected in 1840, at a c^st of about $2,500. Rev. Joseph Wilcox was the first pastor ; Rev. C. F. Blakemau is the present one. There are seventy- seveti members. The Church property is valued at $4,500. {Information furrmlied by Mr. H. Fritts. BURNS was formed from Ossian, (Livingston Co.,) March 17, 1826, and derives its name from the celebrated Scotch poet. The first town officers were, .t*hilip Rich, Supervisor ; J. H. Boylan, Town Clerk ; Benj. Jones, John Boylan and Wm. Mor- ley, Assessors; Wm. Carroll, Collector; Wm. Carroll, Joseph Leonard, Samuel Carpenter, Horace Morse and T.

The surface is hilly and broken, and is best adapted to grazing. The summits of the highest hills are 400 to 700 feet above the valleys. The principal streams are Canase- raga Creek,* which flows in a north-easterly direction through the northern part, and its tributaries, South Valley and Slader creeks, the former of which flows north through the central, and the latter north and east through the south-western part. The Buffalo Branch of the Erie R. R. crosses the northern part of the town. The proposed Rochester, Nnnda& Pennsyl- vania R. R. just enters tiie northwest corner of the town and leaves it again almost immediately by a short turn. The population in 1870 was 1340; of whom 1221 were native, 119, foreign and all, white. \ Canaseraga (p. V.) (formerly called Whitney Valley) is I situated on Canaseraga Creek and the Buffalo Division of the • Erie R. R., north of the center of the town, and contains three I churches, (Baptist, Episcopal and M. E.) two hotels, sixteen j stores of various kinds, a printing office, {Canaseraga Times, ] neutral in politics, started Nov. 27, 1873, and published weekly I by H. C.

Gakwood SxATiOiT, (p. 0.) situated on Canaseraga Creek', and the Buffalo Division of the Erie K. R., in the north-west cor- ner of the town, contains one store, one blacksmith shop, one steam saw mill and about a dozen dwellings. BuKNs, situated in the eastern part of the town, about one mile north-west of Burns Station, contains one church (not in use) and about a dozen dwellings. Bailey dc Garwood's Mill gives employment to about forty persons and annually manufactures about one million feet of lumber besides a large quantity of staves and heading. The first settlement was made in the north-western part of the town, on Canaseraga Creek, in 1805, by Moses and Jeremiah Gregory, John Gaddis and Samuel Rodman. It is related of Mrs. Rodman that she was accustomed to visit at Canaseraga, and while walking the distance there and back would foot a pair of stockings. Settlements were made in 1806 by Wm. Carroll, Wm, Hopkins, Elijah and Daniel Abbott, Eiias Van- scoter, Thomas Quick and Thomas Boylan. Carroll settled a little south of the central part of the town, on lot 40. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and after that he spent some time as a sailor. March 3, 1785, he married Phebe Wort- man. He came here from the south-west part of Pennsylvania, bringing with him his family consisting of his wife, five sons and three daughters, and spent the remainder of his life on the farm he then took up. His son John, who was about eight years old when they came in, lived on the same farm till bis death at the age 78 years. He never had any shoes till he was eight years old. He was a noted hunter, and furnished his neighbors with game, which was abundant at an early day. Hopkins, who settled in the central part of the town, the Abbotts, who settled at DeWitt's Valley, and Quick, who set- tled in the eastern part, were also from Pennsylvania. Van- scoter, originally from Pennsylvania, came from Arkport, ; Steuben Co., and settled in the eastern part, where he spent 1 the rest of his life. Boylan was the first settler at Canase- i raga. He came from Bluff Point on Crooked Lake in ! the spring of 1806, about the time the trees leaved out, with I one of his sons, James H., and purchased a tract of land a I half mile square, lot 99. They brought with them, on their | backs, provisions enough to last till they had cut six acres of j timber, when they returned to Bluff Point to attend to haying j and harvesting. After harvest a cart was loaded with seed | grain and provisions and the twain again set out for this locality. } BURNS. 73 At Dansville they were obliged to abandon the cart, and load its contents upon the backs of the oxen, as there was nothing but an Indian path from that place to their destination. Having logged a fallow they turned out the cattle to feed along the creek while they burned it. When they went in search of the cattle one of them was found dead, so that Mr. Boylan was obliged to return to Bluflf Point fur another and for more seed grain. After the grain was in the body of a log house was erected north of the creek, on the eastern edge of the village, and a patch of timber cut around it. They then returned to BluiT Point and remained till spring, when Mr. Boylan came on and put in some corn and potatoes among the logs and covered his liouse. He then returned for his family, (consisting of his wife, Elizabeth,) and five sons, (James H., John, Firman, Isaac and Samuel,) and his stock, consisting of twenty-two head of cattle. All he had to winter his cattle upon was the wheat straw and few corn stalks he had raised, so that he was obliged to browse his cattle a good part of the winter. On the fourth of March, 1807, snow fell four feet deep on the level. He occupied his log house till about 1820 and cleared a large portion of his farm. He then built a frame house where the Pelton House now stands, and which is a part of that building, A frame house was built about the same time by a Mr. Abbott in the eastern part of the town. Christopher Boylan, son of Samuel, to whom we are indebted for the facts relative to his father's family, was accustomed to go to school bare-footed, bare-headed and without mittens and to slide upon the ice as long as those who had shoes, stockings, hats and mittens. He says he never had a hat nor a pair of shoes till after he was ten years old. He is still living near Canaseraga village. Nathaniel Summers settled in the south-east part of the town, James Crooks, in the northern part, a little west of Canaseraga, a Mr. Mills, in the western part, and a Mr. Fry, near Burns pillage, at a very early day. Among the first settlers were the Mc- Curdys, Slaters and Wilsons, and among those who came a little later were the Whitneys and Carpenters. Henry Leonard imoved in from Towanda, Pa,, with his family, consisting of his ;svife and five children, (two girls and three boys,) in 1809, and settled at Canaseraga, where two of the sons are still living, and where he remained till his death. Joseph Leonard, who is liv- ng on the farm his father took up, has held the office of justice >f the peace for the last forty-two years. Horatio Tilden, from Avon, Livingston Co., and Alvah Cruttenden, from Leroy, ^jenesee Co., settled in 1815, the former east of the center, on ot 25, and the latter in the western part, where he took up a arge farm, on which one of his sons lives, and on which he it. 74 £UJR2^S. spent the rest of his life. Wm. Miller, from Avon, Livingston Co., settled in the south part about 1816, and died there. He cut a road for over a mile to reach his land. Nathaniel Bennett, from Vermont, settled in the northern part in 1817. He brought with him his wife, four sons (one of whom was lost on the way) and two daughters. They made the journey with horst-s and wagons. One of his sons (Daniel W. ) still lives on the old homestead. Samuel Whipple and Ezra Whitney moved ia from Vermont in 1818. Whipple settled at Canaseraga, and the next year put up a framed house,* in the northern part of the village. Wiiituey came in with a somewhat numerous family, two of his sons being married, and took up a large tract of land in the locality of Garwood Station. Stephen Mundy came in from Middlesex Co., N. J., in 1819, and purchased 500 acres of land in the western part of the town, on which he settled. He says the town was very heavily timbered, oak, pine and hemlock prevailing in the eastern part. The first birth in town was that of Lewis W. Carroll, Aug. 1, 1807 ; the first marriage, that of John Gregory and Betsy Doty; and the first deaths, those of Jeremiah and Samuel Gregory, twin brothers, who were killed by the fall of a tree, the former April 4, 1812, and the latter Sept. 17th of the same year. The first school was taught in 1810, in a log school house one-half mile west of Canaseraga, by David Crooks. The first hotel was kept at Burns village in 1826, by Simeon D. Drown, so says Joseph Leonard ; while Stephen Mundy says it was probably kept by Oliver Carpenter, in a log house situated about half a mile east of Canaseraga. The first store was kept in 1828, by Isaac N. Town, on the site of the Pelton House, in Canaseraga village. The first grist mill was built in 1810 by Daniel Shull, It was located on Canaseraga Creek, one mile below Canaseraga. The first saw mill, says Joseph Leonard, was built (in 1813) on Canaseraga Creek, two miles west of Canaseraga, by David Mc- Curdy; while Christopher Boylan, who is considered excellent authority, says it was built in the same locality, by Ezra Whitney. The first religious services were held by the Methodists at the house of Moses Gregory, in 1806, and were conducted by Robert Parker. The First Baptist Church of Canaseraga was organized in 1810, by Rev. Jesse Braman, the first paslor. Their house of worship was erected ia 1856, at a cost of $3,000. It will seat 300 persons. The Society, number- ing sixty-six, is under the pastoral care of Rev. Colwill Townsend, and its property is valued at $4,000. [^Information furnished by Mr. Joseph Leon- ard.\ " Oap Spring Valley Church'''' (M.

It cost $600 and will seat 300 persons. There are thirty members. The Church property is valued at $1,000. [Information furnished by Mr. Joseph Flint.] The M. E. Church, at Burns Station, was organized with about six mem- bers, by Rev. Mr. Bliven, the first pastor, about 1859, and the church edifice, which will seat 200 persons, was erected in 1871, at a cost of $2,000, the piesent value of the Church property. The Society numbers twenty-one, and is und' r the spiritual tutelage of Rev. J, Spinks. {Infor- mation furnished by Mr. M. McMaster.] The First Presbyterian Church of Canaseraga was organized with thir- teen members, Oct. 26, 1872, by Rev. J. H. Board, the first and present pastor, and bur informant. The Society consists of twenty-one members. They have no house of worship. Trinity Church, (Protestant Episcopal) at Canaseraga, was organized with ten members, in 1853, by Rev. John E. Battin and Lloyd Windsor, the former of whom was the first pastor. The church edifice, which will seat 350 persons, was erected in 1864-5, at a cost of $3,700. The Society consists of ninety members, and is under the pastoral care of Rev. E. E. Chamberlain, our mformant. The Church property is valued at $8,500. It has sometimes had two missions, atOssian and Garwood Station, and has seldom failed to supply the services of the Church at Ossian more or less regularly. CANEAJDEA was formed from Angelica, March 11, 1 SOS- Friendship was taken off March 24, 1815 ; Rushford, March 8' 1816 ; and Orrinsburgh, (now Belfast,) March 24, 1824. A part was annexed to Belfast in 1831. The first town meeting was held at the house of Jedediah Nobles, April 5, 1808, and the following named officers were elected : Wm. Pinkerton, Super- visor ; Isaac Sanford, Town Clerk ; David ISanford, Asa Hurris and John Higgins, Assessors; Simon Gates, Squire Haskell and James Rice, Commissioners of Highways ; James Sanford, Con- stable and Collector; Ezra Sanford and Elisha Chamberlain, Overseers of the Poor. It is an interior town, lying north-west of the center of the county, and contains 21,950 acres. The surface is divided into two ridges by Genesee River, which flows north through the central part, and receives Caneadea, Houghton and Crawford* creeks from the west. Upon Caneadea Creek is a valuable stone quarry. The soil upon the highlands is a gravelly and clayey loam, and in the valleys a gravelly loam and alluvium. The valley of the Genesee is highly productive and is well adapted to grain raising. The town generally is best adapted * Named from Crawford, who Is reputed to be the first settler upon it. He came from the Susquehanna country in Pennsylvania, in 1805, bringing his family with an ox team, «nd took up 100 acres of land one and one-half miles above the mouth of the creek. He died March 29, 1869, aged 89 years and 9 months. His sons Lyndes and Harry, the former of whom was bom in this town in 1811, and the latter in 1819, are living in the town of Belfast. 76 CANEADEA. to grazing and most of the farmers are engaged in dairying. The Genesee Valley Canal passes through the town west of the Genesee. The southern part of Caneadea Reservation lies in the north part of the town, upon both sides of the river. The oid council house stood upon the east bank of the river, on lot 39. An old Indian orchard still marks the locality. In June, 1811, October, 1817, and October 20, 1835, the valley of the Genesee was visited by severe floods, which swept away mills and other buildings, produce and even stock. The population of the town in 1870 was 1,869; of whom 1683 were native, 186, foreign, 1822, white and 47, colored. Oramel, (p. V.) situated on the Genesee River and Genesee Valley Canal, in the south part of the town, was incorporated June 9, 1856, and contains, two churches, five stores, one hotel, an iron foundry, a steam saw mill, a shingle mill, harness shop, wagon shop, two blacksmith shops and about 450 inhabitants. The census of 1870 gives it a population of 289. Elijah F. Johnson'' s Steam Saw Mill, located about one half mile north of Oramel, gives employment to about fifteen men and annually manufactures about 1,500,000 feet of lumber. Caneadea, (p. v.) situated on Genesee River and the Genesee Valley Canal, a little west of the center of the town, and at the mouth of Caneadea Creek, contains one church, (M. E.) four stores, two hotels, a shingle mill, cheese factory, harness shop, wagon shop, three blacksmith shops and about 400 inhabit- ants. The census of 1870 gives it a population of 236. HouGHTOJS" Creek, (p. o.) is a hamlet situated on the creek of the same name and the Genesee Valley Canal, in the north- west part of the town. Settlement was commenced about 1800, by a Mr. Schoonover, from Pennsylvania, who located about two miles below Canea- dea village, on lot 8. Ephraim Sanford and Zephaniah Huff, from the town of Wiyne, Steuben Co., came in 1802 and ex- plored the country bordering upon the east bank of the Gene- see from near the transit line in Angelica to Portage, ^vhere they crossed the river and continued their explorations along the west shore up to the point where they first struck it. They then returned to their homes. Huff returned the following year and built a log house and planted some corn ; and in the fall, after harvesting the latter, he put it in the chamber of his house and returned home for his family, which he moved in in February, 1804. He settled on the opposite side of the river from Caneadea, on lot 11. Sanford also returned in 1803, bringing with him from the same county, in addition to Huff, CANEADEA. 77 eighteen others, for which he got his land cheaper. He was a Baptist minister, and settled at Oraniel, where he was the first to locate. His sons Ezra and Ephraim Jr., the former of whom accompanied him, located the same year, Ezra about three- fourths of a mile south of Orarnel, and Ephraim on the river about a mile below Caneadea. Betsy Sanford, daughter of Ezra Sanford, who was born in April, 1804, was the first child born in the town. The names of the remaining seven- teen who came in with Mr. Sanford and the localities in which they settled are: Samuel Crawford, on lot 16 ; John Ripenbark, on lot 15 ; Daniel Ripenbark, on lot 14; Adam Ripenbark, on lot 13; Wm. C. HufF, on lot 12; Jacob Rickey and Ephraim Wanzer, on lot 10; James Smith, on lot 9; Elisha Alderman, on lot 8 ; Ziba Huff, on lot 7 ; Samuel Lane, on lot 6 ; Stephen Vandermark, on lot 5 ; Loren Francis, (originally from Mass.,) on lot 4 ; Job Phillips, on lot 3 ; Wm. Pinkerton, a little south of Oramel ; and David Sanford and Squire Haskins. Many of these returned to their homes in Steuben Co. after locating their lands, some to bring in their families, and settled per- manently at a later day. James Rice and Timothy Hitch- cock, from Bain bridge, Chenango Co., settled at Caneadea vil- lage in 1804, and were the first to locate there. Rice built the first house — a log structure — on the site of the village. Hitch- cock took up a farm and worked on it till November, when he went back to his home. The following February he returned with his family, and spent the rest of his life on the same farm. Wm. Atherton, originally from Pennsylvania, came in 1805 from Steuben Co., where he had resided the year previous, and settled about a mile north of Caneadea. He remained about a year, then sold out and removed to Cattaraugus Co. In 1814 he again removed to this town and settled across the river from Oramel, where he remained till he died. Noah Franklin came in from Bainbridge, Chenango Co., about 1805, and settled about one and one-half miles north of Caneadea. Arad and David Hitchcock, also from Bainbridge, settled in the central part of the town about 1806 or '07. They built the first card- ing machine in town, at Caneadea. Daniel Dodge settled on the river, in the northern part, about 1809 or '10. Major Alanson Burr, a native of Vermont, came in from Bainbridge about 1810, and settled on the river, one mile below Caneadea. Being drafted during the war of 1812, he went to Batavia and obtained a substitute. When he returned home his wife was gone and a crotched stick was placed against the door, which denoted that the Indians had taken care of her. They took her off upon the hills, fearing that the Canada Indians would invade the country after the burning of Buffalo. Eleazer Burbank, from 78 CANEADEA. Vermont, settled in the southern part, near Oramel, in 1812 ; and George P. Ketch um, from Pennsylvania, in the same locality, about that year. Hiram Gray, from Pennsylvania, settled in the southern part about 1814; and Samuel Hunt, from Vermont, about 1815, John Hoyt, from Windsor, Vt., settled at Caneadea in 1816, and the same year he erected at the mouth of Caneadea Creek the first saw mill in town. Simon Wilson settled in the central part of the town the same year. He was born and brought up in Windsor, Vt., and at the age of about twenty-three years he removed thence to the town of Eushford in this county, where he lived two years. He moved in with two yokes of oxen and was three weeks on the road. Luther Houghton with his family, consisting of his wife and five children, (four sons and one daughter.) settled near the river, in the north-west part of the town, in 1817. They cnme from the town of Centerville, where they had lived six years, but were originally from the town of Linden, Caledonia Co., Vt. Mr. Houghton remained on the farm he took up in this town the rest of his life. Loren, his son, who came with him, still lives on the old homestead and has the last fifty-seven years. Cyrus H. Clement, from Windsor, Vt., settled at Caneadea the same year (1817.) He worked at carpenter work a short time and ran a saw mill. Joshua Wilson and his sons, (Simon, Freeman S. and Lewis.) from Rushford, settled in the southern part of the town, John Kenyon, in the north-western part, and Angus Mcintosh, from Schenectady, in the southern part, about 1817. The Wilsons were originally from Ver iiont, and had resided in Rushford about three years previous to their removal here. Henry Herrick, from Windsor Co., Vt., settled about two miles north of Caneadea in 1818. Alpheus Easta- brook, also from Vermont, but immediately from the town of Centerville, settled in the north-western part of the town the same year, when only fourteen years old. His father, Benjamin Eastabrook, moved in from the same town about two years later, and settled in the same locality. The family was origin- ally from Vermont, and had lived but a short time in Center- vilie. Daniel Ingersoll, from Pennsylvania, settled in the northern part of the town in 1819. Asa Harris settled near the central part at an early day, and built the first framed barn in the town. He also taught the first school near the center in 1811. Ezra Sanford probably built the first framed house in the town. Loren Houghton says that John Smith built the first grist mill in town, on Caneadea Creek ; and Alpheus Eastabrook, that it was erected at Caneadea, about 18::i4, by Arad Hitchcock, James Rawson and Timothy Rice. The first tannery was built about a mile and a half below CANEA.DEA—CENTERVILLE. 79 Caneadea, by James Colwell. The first hotel was kept at the center, in 1810, by Lucretia Radley, a widow lady from Pennsyl- vania. The first store was kept at Caneadea, about 1825, by Joseph Waldo. The first religious services were held by Rev. Ephraim Sanford at his own house in Oramel, in 1804. The German M. E. Churchy located in the eastern past of the town, was organized with about thirty members, in 1853, by Rev. F. W. Deuger, the first pastor ; and the church edifice, which will seat 150 persons, was erected in 1857, at a cost of $1250. The Society numbering about forty- five, is under the pastoral care of Rev. F. Rye, and its property is valued at $1500. [^Infoi'mation furnished iy Mr. Christopher Archer.'] CENTER VILLE was formed from Pike, (Wyoming Co.,) Jan, 15, 1819. The first town ofiicery were: Jesse Bnllock, Supervisor; Alfred Forbes, Town Clerk; Zaccheus Spencer and Edward Crowell, Overseers of the Poor ; Strong Warner, Benj. Blanchard and Mark S. White, Assessors; Mark Blanchard, Nathaniel Moore and Abraham Dayton, Commissioners of High- ways ; Calvin Cass and Jesse Hadley, Constables; Calvin Cass, Collector; Benj. Weaver, Simeon Forbes and David Smith, School Commissioners; Jesse Bullock, Alfred Forbes and Alvin Cass, School Inspectors; and Perkins B. Woodward, Pound- Keeper. From the town records we learn that in 1819 the town contained six hotels and forty-eight voters. This great dis- parity between the number of hotels and inhabitants might seem anomalous if unexplained by the accompanying fact that they were needed to accommodate the great number of emi- grants who were at that time seeking western homes by this route. The town lies in the north-west corner of the county and contains 22,000 acres. The surface is a moderately hilly upland, drained by Six Town Creek and its branches and numerous smaller streams. The soil is a heavy clay loam. The Rochester & State Line R. R. crosses the north-west corner of the town. The population in 1870 was 1043 ; of whom 912 were native 131, foreign and all, except one, white. Centerville (p. 0.) is centrally located and contains two, churches, one hotel, three stores, one match factory, one cheese factory, two wagon shops, three blacksmith shops and some sixty-five dwellings. The population in 1870 was 167. Lamberson Cheese Factory^ located at Centerville village, received in 1873, 2,725,322 pounds of milk. The amount received for cheese made the same year was $34,817.38. We extract from an article in the Allegany County Advocate of 8 CENTER VILLE. April 2, 1869, the following relative to the first settlement in this town : — " The pioneer of Centerville was Joseph Maxson. * * * He left his native place, (Otsego Co.,) when but 18 years old, and arrived at Pike in April, 18(18. Two cents in money, a few articles of provision and cloth- ing, constituted the worldly wealth of the young adventurer. He took a pair of new shoes from his feet, bartered them for an ax. and pushed into the wilderness, miles from any habitation. Selecting his land in the town of Centerville, he erected a rude shanty ; and to supply bed and bed- ing, peeled basswood bark, using one piece to separate himself from the cold ground, and another for covering. Snow fell to the depth of six inches, after he had fixed himself in his new and lonely forest home. Here he spent eight months solitary and alone. A note was made on the book of the land office, that he had five acres cleared July 23, 1808, at which date he had his land ' booked ' to him, paying nothing down. It is presumed that he had only chopped the timber down, and burned the brush, as he could not, in that time, have cleared the land entirely. He raised the first season, a few bushels of corn and potatoes, and in the fall sowed two acres of wheat. Success attended the extraordinary efforts of the young pioneer. He became an early tavern keeper, * * * and the owner of a large, well improved farm, which he afterwards sold and went to Wisconsin. He has preserved as relics of his early advent into the wilderness, the ax that he got in exchange for bis shoes, one of the cents mentioned, one kernel of the seed corn he procured to plant in 1808, and an old wooden fan with which he cleaned the first wheat raised in the town of Centerville." James Ward settled in the town in the fall of 1808; and Calvin P. Perry, from Berkshire Co., Mass., settled near Maxson in 1800. The next settlers were Abraham and David Jolatt, brothers. They were followed by Zaccheus, Thomas and Strong Warner and Perkins B. Woodward, from Ashford, Conn., who located a little north of the center, and Sargent Morrell, from Vermont, who settled in the south part of the town, in 1810. Benjamin Blanchard, also from Vermont, settled on lot 25, in 1811. Mrs. Adaline Straight, who is now living in the town of Willing, was born in this town June 1, 1811. She lived here with her parents eleven years, when she removed to the town of Wellsville, and subsequently to Willing. John and Samuel Leach, from Vermont, settled on lot 26, in 1812. The first birth and death in the town were those of Calvin P. Perry, iu June, 1809. The first marriage was that of Wm. Foy and Ruth Morrill, in 1811. The first school was taught in the win- ter of 1813-'14, by Perkins B. Woodward. The first framed house was built by a Mr. Carpenter. The first framed barn was built by James Ward, who also planted the first orchard. The first saw mill was erected on Six Town Creek, in 1813, by Mark Blanchard and Eber Hotchkiss; and the first grist mill, on the same stream, in 1817, by Russell Higgins and Packard Bruce. The first inn was kept at the center, iu 1810, by a Mr. Thatcher ; CENTERVILLE—CLARKSriLLE. q\ and the first store, at the same place, in 1820 by Sparrow Smith. The first physician was Calvin Cass. The first religious services were held by the Baptists and were conduct- ed by Rev. John Griffith. The First Presbyterian Church, at Centerville, (the first formed in the town,) was organized with fourteen members, July 25, 18', one-half the present value of Church property. {Information furnished by Mr L. L. Wheat.} Fairview Church, (Congregational,) in the south-west corner of the town, was organized in 1846, by Rev. John T. Edwards. Their first house of worship was erected in 1851 ; and the present one, which will seat 100 persons, in 1865, at a cost of about $900, the present value of Church property. The first pastor was Rev. David Jenkins ; the present one is Rev. W . B Roberts. There are thirty members. [Information furnislied by Mr. Hugh Griffith.'] CLARKSVILLE was formed from Cuba, May 11, 1835, and was named in compliment to S. N. Clark, an agent of the Holland Land Company. It lies upon the west border of the county, south of the center, and contains 22,805 acres. The sur- face is a mountainous upland, divided into several steep ridges by the narrow valleys of the streams. The highest summits are 700 to 1,000 feet above the canal at Cuba. Dodges and Wolf creeks, both of which rise in the town and flow in a south- westerly direction, are the principal streams. The soil is principally a heavy clay loam. Considerable pine lumber is still manufactured in the town. The Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R. crosses the north-wesc corner of the town. The population of the town in 1870 was 784; of whom 762 were native, 22, foreign and all, except two, white.

North Clarksville is a hamlet in the north-west part. Clarksville Center Cheese Factory was erected in 1867, by Anson Congdon, the present proprietor, and manufactures 145,000 pounds of cheese per annum. 82 CLARESVILLE. Clorksville Steam Saw Mill was buiit in 1853, by Joseph P. Slayton, as a water-power mill, on the site of a mill erected in 1828, by Joseph Palmer, and was converted into a steam power mill in 1873. It is owned by Joseph Slayton & Son, and is capable of sawing about two millions feet of lumber per annum. Ryder's Water-Power Sa%v Mill, located on Wolf Creek, in the south west part of the town, was built by W. B. Ryder in 1855, and is sawing about 300,000 feet of lumber per annum. Clarksville Center Cemetery Association was established in 1870. The grounds cover three-fourths of an acre. The trus- tees are, J. R. Peckham, Prentice Peckham, Joel Gillett, J. H. Whiteman and Martin Butts. Settlement was commenced in 1822, by John and Horatio Slayton, who came from Warsaw, Wyoming Co., and located a little south of the center of the town. They cut a road from Cuba to their place of settlement. Joseph Palmer settled near the center March 13th of the same year, and in 1826 built the first saw mill in the town. John Murray settled at Clarksville Center in 1824. He remained there till his death in 1857, and cleared several hundred acres. James McDuugal, from Steuben Co., settled a little east of the center, and Jahez Lurvey, near the same place, in 1827. Anson Congdon, from Otsego Co., settled one mile west of the center in 1835, and has been engaged principally in lumbering and farming. He served two terms in the State Assembly, as supervisor of the town four- teen years, as county superintendent nine years, as revenue col- lector four years, at^.d as justice of the peace fourteen years. The first birth was that of Joseph P. Slayton, in 1822 ; the first marriage, that of Van Rensselaer Delivan and Harriet Palmer, in 1827; and the first death, that of Mrs. Sally Olds, in 1831.

Genesee was taken off April 16, 1830, and Clarksville, May 11, 1835. It lies upon the west border of the county, a little south of the center, and contains 22 150 acres. The surface is a broken and mountainous upland, divided into irregular ridges by steep and narrow valleys. The summits of the highest hills are 600 to 800 feet above the level of the canal, which is here 1485 feet above tide. Oil Creek and its branches form the principal drainage. In the west part of this town is the oil spring from which was obtained. " immense quantities " of the celebrated Seneca Oil, which, at an early day, was considered remarkably efficacious in the cure of cutaneous imd other diseases. It is located on a mile square lying mainly in this town, but partly in the town of Ischua, Cattaraugus Co., and known as Oil Creek Reservation, which was reserved by the Sereca Indians from the early sales of tiieir lands in this vicinity. "It is," says French, "a dirty pool, 20 feet in diameter, and has no out- let. The water is mixed with bitumen, which collects upon its surface." More recent explorations for oil have been made at great expense. Good building stone has been found in several localities. The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, best adapted to grazing. The Genesee Valley Canal enters the town near the center of the north border and extends in a south-westerly direction to the vicinity of North Cuba, where it enters the narrow valley of Oil Creek, which it follows to the center of the west border, deflecting to the west at Cuba village. Oil Creek Reservoir, in the north-west corner of the town, was constructed at a cost of $150,000, to feed the summit level of the canal. It is sixty feet high, and by the construction of a dam across Oil Creek, it raises a pond covering an area of 500 acres, which finds an out-let near its head, so that no water runs over the dam. Its capacity when full is estimated to be equal to 200 miles of canal. The Erie R. R. extends in a narrow valley through the cen- tral part of the town, from east to west. The Rochester, Nunda (k Pennsylvania R. K. crosses the west part of the town in a southerly direction, following the canal to Cuba village, where it crosses the Erie road. The population in 1870 was 2397; of whom 2186 were native, 211, foreign, 2357, white and 40, colored. Cuba, (p. v.) situated on Oil Creek, the Genesee Valley 84 CUBA. Canal and the Erie R.

Streeter is leader, and a population of about 1500. It contains also many other minor industrial establishments of various kinds. North Cuba, (Seymour p. o.) (formerly known as Cadytown, from Stephen Cady, an early settler there,) is situated on Oil Creek, about two miles north of Cuba, and contains one hotel, a grocery, a blacksmith shop and a number of dwellings. The name of the post-office was given in honor of Horatio Seymour, who was then Governor of the State. Cuba Summit is a station on the Erie R. R. in the east part. Rice Cheese Factory, located in the south-east part of the town, was built in 1868, by H. & W. W. Rice and I. B. Cole, and is making 150,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Amsden Cheese Factory, located in the north east corner of the town, was built as a branch factory in 1871. Additions have been made which make it complete in itself. Settlement was commenced in 1812, by Salmon Abbott, from Luzerne Co., Pa., who located near the reservoir which feeds the Summit level of the Genesee Valley Canal, where he died May 5, i863. John Bennett, Andrew Hawley and Stephen Cole, and two others named Freer and Hall, from Conn., came about the same time. Samuel H. Morgan, from near Windsor, Vt., moved to the town of Rushford with an ox team in 1810, and in 1815 to the north-west part of this town, where he re- mained the rest of his life. Gen. Calvin T. Chamberlain settled about two miles from the village of Cuba in 1816, and in 1817 built the first saw mill in the town. In the latter vear James CDBA. 85 Strong purchased the land embraced in the village of Cuba. Isaac Sibley, from Worcester Co., Mass., settled about one and one-lburth miles north of Cuba village in 1819, having pre- viously stopped in Friendship for two years. Judge John Griflin located in Cuba in 1820, and purchased the laud embrac- ing the site of that village. " The Judge was a man of more than ordinary intellect; generous, enterprising and public spirited; tall, fearless and possessed of unusual muscular power. He was elected Senator from the Eighth Senatorial District, about the year 1834, and was for a number of years (»ne of the Judges of this county. He died in Cuba in 1845." In 1832, Stephen Smith purchased the laud of Judge Griffin, and Gen. Chamberlain erected a public house and opened a small mercantile establishment. This was the commencement of Cuba village. In 1824, James and John Jordan, brothers, and Eobert Campbell and his son Rufus R. Campbell, all from Otsego Co., settled in the town. The Jordans came in March and located about three miles south of Cuba village, where James remained till his death in 1871. John Jordan removed to the north part of the town in the spring of 1867, and died there the following fall. The Campbells were from Cherry Valley, and located in the north-east part of the town. Hiram Abbott removed from Pompey Hill, Onondaga Co., to this town about 1824, and taughtschool here. The next year he removed to Amity, and in 1868, to Hinsdale, Cattaraugus Co., where he still resides. Theodore Halstead, moved in from Saratoga Co. in 1825. John Coller, from Susquehanna Co., Pa., settled in the south-east part of the town, on the place now occupied by his son Wm., in 1827, where he spent the remainder of his life.

The first school was taught by David Row, in 1822. The first inn was kept by Stephen Cole, near the center, in 1814, and the first store in 1821 or '22, by King & Graves. The first grist mill was built by Jacob Baldwin and Stephen Cady, on Oil Creek, about two miles from the village in 1822. It may be interesting to our readers to know that in the village of Cuba lives a centenarian — Abner Huntley — who on 36 CUBA— FRIENDSHIP. the 4th of August, 1874, was 108 years old. He walks around the village and rides on horseback. The first religious services were held by Kev. Robert Hnbbard, in 1818, and the first Church was formed by the Baptists in 1824. The first set- tlers in this town, says Hotchkin, in his History of Wentern New York, "are said to have been loose in principle and practice;" but "were followed by others in 1819 and 1820, some, of whom were pious." "Methodist and and Baptist preachers followed" Mr. Hubbard, who was a Presbyterian, '"and occasionally preached in the place. But irreligion greatly prevailed, and regular public worship was not established till 1827." In speaking of the advent of Mr. Hubbard, he says: "As characteristic of the man, it is said that he came with his portmanteau filled with crackers and other comfortables for a sick woman, a disciple of Jesus, at the house where he preached." The SecoJid Baptist Church of Cuba, was organized with twenty-two mem- bers in 1885, by Rev. Mr Tuttle, the first pastor.

At this time, in addition to those FRIENDSHIP. 89 named, settlements had been made by Elisha Strong, John Higgins, Edward Brines, Lemuel Huskins, Samuel Wardell and Wni. Burnett. The nearest postofficeand mill were at Angelica, a distance of twelve miles, and the nearest neighbor south, says Mr. J. J. Stebbins, was John King, a mile and a half beyond Ceres, and no road between them. A few years later a road was cut by Mr, King as far as Nile. In August, 1809, a freshet flooded the flats and destroyed the crops, so that there was no breadstuff" raised. The settlers were obliged to go to Dansville to procure flour for their subsistence.

The surface is very broken and moun- tainous, the highest summits being 1,000 to 1,400 feet above the valleys. Upon a rounded eminence a little north-east of the center of the town is. a locality known as Rock City. It consists of a belt of huge masses of conglomerate, covering an area of forty acres, which extends from north to south, across the summit and down the declivities of the hill. The blocks are composed of milk-white pebbles, broken into regular layers, and so arranged as to form alleys and streets. The streams are Little Genesee, Dodges, Deer, Windfall and Oswayo creeks, all of which flow through narrow, mountainous ravines. The soil is a sandy and clayey loam. Agriculture is the chief pursuit of the inhabitants — dairying being the leading branch of agri- culture. Lumbering, though on the wane, is still carried on to a considerable extent. We are credibly informed that no license has ever been granted in the town of Genesee and that none of its inhabitants hare been sent to state prison. It is also asserted that none have been sent to the poor house. The population in 1870 was 888 ; of whom all, except seven, were native, and all, except two, white.

The Ceres News was started Sept. 24, 1873, by J. J. Barker, a resident of Ceres township, Potter Co., Pa. At present it is published in this State, where it was begun, but is soon to be removed across the line. It has always been considered a Penn- sylvania newspaper. It is published weekly by Mr. Barker still. The settlement of this town is of comparatively recent date, 92 GENESEE. though settlement was commeuced at Ceres, just south of the line, in Pennsylvania, as early as 1799, by Francis King and his son John, who were joined in 1S02, by Thomas Bee, Thomas Smith and John Bell, all from England. The first settler in in Genesee was John Bell Jr., who was born in England, May 5, 1792, and emigrated thence with his father, John Bell, in 1801. He landed at Philadelphia and was apprenticed at Ger- mantown Pa., to learn the trade of a saddletree maker by his father, who removed in the autumn of 1802 to Ceres town- ship. Potter Co., Pa., as above stated. In the spring of 1817 John Bell Jr., removed to Ceres township and lived with John King, one of the first settlers there. In the fall of the same year he located land in the south-east corner of lot 49 in this town and commenced a clearing, and the following summer he built a log house upon it. The house stood upon the east bank and near the mouth of the brook which bears his name. The cellar may yet be seen. On the 28th of December, 1818, he married Miss Jane King of Ceres and soon after moved into his house. He persued the occupation of a farmer and lumber- man as did most of the early settlers in this locality. He lived on the old homestead till his death, May 3, 1874. The next settler of whom we have information was Newman Crabtree, an early settler in Wirt, who came to this town and commenced the erection of a saw miil on Little G.niesee Creek, on lot 18, in 1819. The mill was not got ready for use till a year or two after, not, according to one authority, till the summer of 1822. This was the first mill of the kind built in the town. He put up a shanty to live in while building the mill, and on the com- pletion of the latter he sawed some plank atid built a house. He also cut some 15,000 or 20.000 feet of boards. In the sum- mer of 1822 he started for Wirt with an ox sled to bring his family to stay with him a short time as they had done on previous occasions, alternating their residence with him here and at his place in Wirt. On arriving at lot 3 he stopped at an old hut used by the Indians as a half-way house between the tribes on the Allegany and Genesee rivers to let his oxen bait upon the rank herbage which grew around it, and while waiting he conceived the idea of setting fire to the shanty. He took out his flint and punk and soon had the building in a blaze. He resumed his journey to Wirt and after a stay of a day or two there he started back for his home at the mill. When he arrived within sight of his house he was horrified to see it in flames; and doubtless recognizing in this a punitive act for his wanton destruction of the Indian hut, he retraced his journey to the house of Timothy Cowles in Bolivar, where he remained over night, and the next day he returned GENESEE. 93 to Wirt. He never returned to run the mill. That same fall a large pine tree fell across the mill dam and carried it awu}'. The mill stood idle about four years, when it was purchased of Mr. Crabtree by Horace Wilson, who repaired and operated it for a number of years. A lew days after the burning of Mr. Crabtree'fi house Mr. Timothy Cowles while on his way to Ceres, met an Indian a mile or two below the mill. He accosted the Indian and inquired why he burned the house, to which the latter ingenuously replied, " he burn me house, me hurt) his " ; and when asked why he did not burn the mill too, he answered, "Ugh ! hg no burn me mill, me no burn his." Jabez Burdick, a native of Berlin, Rensselaer Co., started for this county in the winter of 1821-'2, and in the latter part of February of the latter year he arrived at Friendship, where he remained during the summer and worked a farm on shares, in the fall of the same year he came to Genesee, locating on Little Genesee Creek, in the north part of lot 3, and made a chopping and built a log house on the same. In January, i823, he brought in his family, consisting of his wife a son and two daughters. That spring he was appointed path-master, his beat extending from the Friendship line about three-fourths of a mile above his residence, to the Clean line, below Ceres, nearly seven miles in length, and his, says his son, was the only family on it. He worked out his assessment and some $10 of public money. He was frequently called out to cut out trees that had fallen across the road. He and his son worked nearly sixty days on the road that season. The next season Mr. Streeter had moved in and helped them. He resided in the town till his death, and his son, Jabez Jr., who came in with him, has since lived in the town, with the exception of one year spent in the west. The latter has lived longer in the town than any other person living in it. Joseph Wells, a native of Westerly, R. L, and Ros- well Streeter, a native of Berlin, Rensselaer Co., whence many of the early settlers of this town came, moved in in 1824, the latter in August, and settled on lot 11, where the village of Little Genesee now is. Wells returned and came back early in November, 1825, with his wife and six children. He was a blacksmith and in 1826 he put up the first blacksmith shop in town. He followed that business and farming till his death in 1836. His son Samuel, who came with him, is still living on the old homestead. Streeter built the first framed house in town the same year. He lived in town five or six years, when he removed to Wirt, and subsequently, after four or five years, to Illinois. Ezekiel Crandall, Riverious Hooker Jr. and John Loop came in December, 1825, Crandall was born atHopkinton, R. I., Sept. 7, 1784, and removed thence with his family with a 94 GENESEE. horse team and wagon, their goods being shipped to Rochester by water. In three weeks they reached Alfred, where Mr. Cran- dall was taken sick with typhoid fever, and where a son, E. R. Crandall, stopped during the winter with an aunt, joining the family in this "town the following spring, since which time he has lived here. Another son, Hehry C, after staying a few days at Alfred, went to Rochester after the goods, and reached their location on lot 13, with a portion of the goods (the rest being left in Friendship.) after sundown on the 31st of December, 1825. He returned to Alfred, where he remained till his father recovered. The latter part of January, 1826, they moved into the town, staying until they could build a house, at Mr. J. Burdick's, where the few goods that were brought iu had been left. They moved into their house the fore part of March. The elder Crandall was called out with the militia during the war of 1812, to defend Stonington, Conn. His services were needed only a few days however. He remained on the place he located till his death in 1855. Henry C. Crandall has lived in the town since he first came. Rivereous Hotjker Jr. was a native of Vermont and removed thence to Canada, near King- ston, and thence, in February, 1820, to Ceres township, in Pot- ter Co. Pa., where he lived till his removal to this town. He located on lot 63, in the north-west part of the town. He was a carpenter and millwright and followed that vocation here till his death in 1868. John Loop settled on lot 47, in the north- west part, and cleared a couple of acres. In 1829 he removed to lot 64, and thence, after one year, to Pennsylvania. Joseph Maxson and his son, Joel, moved in from Rhode Island, and settled on lot 4, in 1826. and remained in the town till their death, the former in 1856, and the latter in 1865. Wm. and Norry Hooker came in 1827. Wm. settled on lot 56 and re- mained ten or twelve years ; and Norry, on lot 55, where he re- mained five or six years, then removed to Portville. John Cook settled on lot 55 the same year and remained till about 1850. Settlements were also made by several families from Rhode Island in this year. Among them were Ethan Kenyon, Joel Crandall, Samuel Jaques and Amos and Rev. Henry P. Green, brothers. Kenyon settled on lot 3, in June, and lived there till his death in 1864. He was called to the defence of Stonington during the war of 1812. Two sons and a daughter came with him to this town. One of the former, Ethan Kenyon Jr., still lives on the old homestead. Crandall came in November and settled on lot 10, where he still lives. Jaques was born at Exeter, R. I., July 15, 1786. He removed to this town and settled on lot 2, Nov. 27, 1827. He came by way of Albany on account of the snow and bad roads, iu company with Joel Crandall and Benj. Maxson, GENESEE. 95 bringing with him his wife and four children. At Albany they hired a man to convey them in a scow, upon which they loaded their wagons, after taking them apart, and eflfects. They pro- ceeded slowly on account of ice in the canal and were eleves days in reaching Syracuse. There they abondoned the boat and came on with teams, Mr. Jaques having a single horse and democrat wagon to carry his family, bedding and furniture. At the end of thirty days he reached the site of Little Genesee village, when he left the road and drove one and one-half rniles into the woods, and rolled up a log hut to live in. He then worked out to get provisions. The next season he bought a cow and planted some corn on shares, and the following winter he carried the corn stalks over the hill nearly a mile to feed his cow. Game was abundant. His eldest boy would often go out in the morning and kill a deer and return home in season to have a portion of it cooked for breakfast. Bears were frequent- ly seen from the house. Mr. Jaques still lives on the farm upon which he first settled. Amos Green was born at Hopkin- ton, R. I., Feb. 25, 1792, and Henry P., at the same place March 28, 1798. Amos settled first near Nile, in June, 1826, and the following April removed to lot 13 in this town, where he was joined by his brother, who had settled in Wirt, in 1824. They were the first settlers on Windfall Creek above where Joseph Maxson settled. Amos still lives in the same place. Henry was ordained soon after he came hers. He was the first pastor of the First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Genesee, and pastor of the second and third Churches of that denomination in this town. He resided here till his death, April 28, 1868. His son, Thomas H. Green, who was born February 6, 1827, moved in with him from Wirt, and has since resided in town. Henry Loop settled on lot 47, about 1827, and died in 1828. Ira Burdick moved in from Berlin, Rensselaer Co., about 1827 or '28 and settled on lot 11. He was killed by the fall of a tree while chopping in the woods a year or two after coming in. Rowland Coon, Deacon George Potter and Daniel and John Edwards, brothers, all natives of Rhode Island, settled in the town in 1828. Coon was born at Hopkiuton, March 17, 1792, and located on lot 31 in April, re- maining till his death in March, 1848. He moved in from Madison Co., where his son, Alonzo B., who came with him, and still lives here, was born, Jan. 3, 1820. Potter came in the fall and settled on lot 14. The Edwardses were born at Charlestown, Daniel, Oct. 8, 1798 and John, Sept. 18, 1801, and located on lot 25, the former in July and the latter on the 13th of November. Daniel built a saw mill in 1830, and the two followed the lumbering business in partnership until two or 96 GENESEE. three years ago. Elliott Smith was born at Berlin, Rensselaer Co., April 20, 1788, and moved in from Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1829. He settled on lot 40, where he died in 1&54. His son, John J., came with him and still lives on the old farm. Ebenezer D. Bliss was born at Newport, R. I., Dec. 29, 1796, and removed to the south part of lot 7 in this town in November, 1829, where he still lives. He was a chair maker by trade and as soon as he had put up a log house he found plenty of work in making chairs for the settlers, taking pay in provisions, &c. When he first came in he had no table, so for several days the front door was taken off the hinges and laid upon a couple of barrels, and thus made to serve as a substitute for that useful article. Joseph Boss, who was born at the same place as Mr. Bliss, Dec. 10, 1811, came in with him, and took up land about 1837. He died in the town. In 1830 settlements were made by* George Irish, who was born at North Stonington, Conn., Feb. 7, 1810, and settled on the north part of lot 48, on the 13th of November ; by Paul Eunis, who removed from Rhode Island and settled on lot 55 in the spring, and subsequently re- moved to the eastern part of the town, where he died ; and by Palermo Lackey, a native of Franklin Co., Vt., who removed to Genesee on the 28th of April. He was a single man and worked out among the settlers for three years. In 1833 he took up land on lot 57, and in 1838, he bought on lot 17, where he has since resided. Joseph S. and Ethan P. Cran- dall, brothers, the former of whom was born at Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1796, and the latter, Aug. 16, 1800, moved in from Edmeston, Otsego Co., and settled on lot 47, Sept. 14, 1830, where Ethan still lives. Joseph was quite a prominent townsman and lived here till about 1854, when he removed to Wisconsin, where he died in 1873. Charles M. Crandall. son of Ethan P., who came in with the latter, has since resided in town, with the exception of six years. John Darling settled on lot 49 previous to 1831, in which year the settlements were in- creased by Elias I, and Benj. C. Maxson, George and Benj. C. Merritt, John Tanner and Matthew M. Crandall, all, except Tanner, originally from Rhode Island. Elias Maxson was born at Hopkinton, R. I., April 3, 1810, and removed thence to this town Dec. 19th and located on lot 55. He still lives in town. Benj. C. Maxson was born in the same State. He removed thence to Cortland Co., and from there to lot 57 in this town, in the fall that year. He died here in 1872. The Merritts, father and son, also came in the fall and settled on lot 16, where George, the father, lived till 1870, when he took up his resi- dence with a son in Wellsville, where he still lives. Benjamin has since lived in town, also Charles H., another son, who came GENESEE. 97 with them, with the exception of six years. Tanner removed from Petersburgh, Eensselaer Co., to the town of Independence, and thence to lot 7 in this town, where he resided till his death three or four years ago. Matthew M. Crandall was born at Hopkinton, E. I., Nov. 7, 1787. In October, 1816, he removed to Cortland Co., and in October, 1831, to Genesee, settling in the south west part of lot 57. He was a farmer and shoemaker and worked at the former vocation in the summer and the latter in the winter. He died on the old homestead Sept. 9, 1874. His son, George S., who came in with him, has since lived on the same farm, with the exception of one and one-half ye'ars. Jairus Crandall, who was born in Ehode Island, January, 17, 1799, removed thence to this town, where he is still living, in November, 1832, and settled on lot 15. Z. E. Maxson, moved in from DeEuyter, Madison Co., in January of the same year and settled at Lit- tle Genesee village, where he lived till seven or eight vears ago. Warren Hyde settled on lot 31 about 1832. Albert B.'Crandall, the first permanent settler on Deer Creek, was born in Brook- field, Madison Co., Dec. 8, 1810, and removed thence to this town in September, 1833, locating on lot 61. He put up a log hut and moved into it before it had either doors, windows or a chimney. He taught school the following winter, and chopped in the woods near his house on moonlight nights. He is still a resident of the town. Henry C. Champlin removed from Alfred and settled on Dodges Creek the same year. In 1835 he removed to Deer Creek, on lot 38, where he died in 1848. The first birth and death in town were those of Francis K. Bell, son of John Bell Jr., on lot 49, who was born Nov. 25. 1819 and died Dec. 29, 1819. We are not advised whether Bell's mar- riage was contracted in this town or in Pennsylvania. It is probable, however, that it occured in that State. Bell was doubtless the first resident of the town who married, though the first marriage contracted in the town was probably that of Joseph Allen and Phebe Maxson, in 1826. The first school was taught by Henry P. Green, near the mouth of Windfall Creek, in the winter of 1826-'7. The first inn was kept at Little Genesee village in 1842, by Lewis P. Coon; and the first store in 1831, by Albert Langworthy. The first religious services were held by the Seventh Day Baptists, under the direction of Rev John Green, in 182b, and the first Church was formed by the same denomination the next year. The First Oenesee Seventh Day Baptist Church, at Little Genesee village, was organized with fourteen members, in 1827, by Wm. B. Maxson and John Green. Their house of worship, which will seat 400 persons, was erected in 1838, at a cost of $3,400. The first pastor was Rev. Henry P. Green ; the present one is Rev. Thomas B. Brown. There are 195 mem- 98 GENESEE— GRANGER. bers. The Church property is valued at $4,000. [Information furnished by Mr. A. L. Maxson, church clerk.'] The Third Seventh Day Baptist Church of Oenesee, was organized with twelve members, June 2, 1834, and re-organized in 1848. The church edifice, which will seat 150 persons, is located on lot 47, on Dodges Creek, and was erected in 1859, at a cost of $1600. The first pastor was Rev. Henry P. Green ; the present one is Rev. W. B. Gillette. The Society numbers seventy-two. The Church property is valued at $3,000. GRANGER was formed from Grove, as West Grove, April 18, 1838. Its name was changed March 6, 1839, the present name being given in honor of Frank Granger, who was then Post Master General.

It is the central town upon the north border of the county, and contains 20,450 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, divided into several distinct ridges. Genesee River, which forms the north- ern half of the west boundary, is b )rdered by abrupt hillsides 000 to 800 feet high. The only other considerable stream is Rush Creek, which flows in a south-westerly direction through near the central part. The soil is a clayey loam upon the hills, and a gravelly loam in the valleys. Generally it is best adapted to grazing. The farmers are mostly engaged in dairying. Sheep raising is carried on to some extent. There is no hotel in the town and the inhabitants are reputed to be a moral people. Tlie population in 1870 was 1050 ; of whom 938 were native, 112, foreign and all, except six, white. Shoet Tract, (p. o.) situated in the south part, contains two churches, two stores, a town hall, wagon shop, cheese factory, three blacksmith shops, a school house and about 100 inhabitants. It is mostly upon one street, and is about a mile long. Granger, (p. o.) situated in the north part, and East Grangp:r, (p. o.) in the south-east part, are hamlets. Settlement was commenced at Short Tract, in February, 1816, by Reuben Smith, his two sons, Wilcox and Isaac, and GRANGER. 99 sons-in-law, Rufns TurnbuU, James McCoon, a man named Ellis, all from Vermont, and Elias Smith, from Otsego Co.

Darling Smith came from Hartwick, Otsego Co., to Jeri>6alem, near Penn Yan, and thence, in January, 1819, to Granger. He settled in the north-east part of the town, on lot 267. About the same time Curtis Coe and John Bouton, from Cayuga Co., also settled in the north-eastern part, on what is known as the State road. Isaac Van Nostrand settled near Short Tract, on lot 20, the same year. Daring the sum- mer he put up the first saw mill elected in the town, and in the fall he returned to the town of Milton, Saratoga Co., whence he came, and remained till spring, when he again came in. In 1820 he built the first framed house in town. In the lall of that year he again returned to Saratoga Co. after his family, which he brought in with a span of horses and wagon, in which was himself, wife and five children, with nearly all their goods, the eldest son having remained here. Mr. Van Nostrand lived upon the farm he took up the rest of his life. His sons, Luzon and Lewis, built the first grist mill in the town in 1831. Joel Pratt, from Whitehall, Washing- ton Co., settled near Short Tract, on lot 21, about 1819. He and Willard Moore, who came in from Sara- toga Co., in 1820, and settled on lot 20, built the first frame barns in town. Ephraim Bullock, originally from Vermont, moved in from York, Livingston Co., where he had lived a short time, and settled near the central part the latter year (1820.)

The first birth in town was that of Olive Sinith, daughter of Elias Smith, in March, 1817. The first marriage was probably that of Isaac Hatch and Clarissa Pratt, in the spring of 1821. The first death was, according to one authority, that of Olive Linee, in 1817 ; while another believes it to have been that of a negro named Jaquay, "previous to 1819." The first school was taught at Short Tract, by Miss Arzevilla Williams, in 1819. Elias Smith kept the first inn at Short Tract, in 1819, and the first store at the same place, in 1820.

The town lies upon the north border of the county, east of the cetitei', and contains 21,070 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, divided into several distinct ridges. A valley in theeast partis known as Chautauqua Valley. It is drained by the headwaters of Cashaqua Creek in the north-west part, and by branches of Canaseraga and Black creeks in the eastern and southern parts. The soil upon the hills is a clayey loam underlaid by hardpan, and in the valleys a gravelly loam. The Buffalo Branch of the Erie R. R. crosses the north-east corner of the town. The Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R. runs parallel with that road, which it crosses near ISwains- ville, and passing a short distance into the town of Burns re- enters this town by a sharp curve and. crosses the south-east corner. The population in 1870 was 1056, all of whom were white, 924, 'native and 132, foreign. SwAiNSViLLE, (Swain p. o.) situated in theeast part, on the Buffalo Branch of the Erie R. R. and the line of the R., N. & P. R. R., in a picturesque valley and surrounded by hills 400 to 600 feet above the level of the streams, contains about seven- ty five inhabitants. Brewers Corners, situated a little south-west of the cen- ter, was, during the lumbering period of the town, an active business center. There are now only four or five families there. Carter Cheese Factory was erected in 1872, by Mr. Carter. In 1873, (?) from June 1st to Sept. 27th, 163,207 pounds of milk were received from 100 cows, and 326 cheeses, weighing 16,320 pounds, were made.

Settlement was commenced in May, 1818, by John White, who was born in Columbia Co., in 1786, and moved in here from Herkimer Co. He located on road 2, on lot 35, in the north-west part of the town, where he still lives. He moved in 103 GROVE— HUME. from Herkimer Co. with an ox team, bringing his family with him, and cut a road from Nuuda. The nearest settlement to him' was at Nunda Station. His house, a log structure, was the first built in the town. Alexander Bailey, who was born in Vermont in 1792, came into the county March 9, 1818. and settled on the same lot, near Mr. White, in the spring of 1819, where he has lived most of the time. Elijah White, a native of Herkimer Co., settled in the town Feb. 1, 1819. Eiley Par- ker came in 1822; and Jonathan Parsons settled the same year at Brewers Corners, where he was the first to locate. Benjamin Bratt also settled at the Corners in February, 1823, Elias Alvord, in April, and Daniel G. Brewer, May 10th of the same year. These were the only settlers there at that time. Brewer is a native of Greene Co., and moved in from Nunda, Livingston Co., where he had previously resided. He located on lot 49. He says the first wheat raised in town was on five acres, which yielded forty-three bushels to the acre. The first birth in town was that of Laura Bailey, Dec. 25, 1821; the first marriage, that of Elijah White and Lucy Dana, in 1822. The first school was taught by Emily P..ge, in John White's log cabin, in 1826. The first inn was kept in the north-west corner, by Henry Andrews, in 1828. At present there is no hotel in the town. The first store was kept at or near the same place, by Thayer & Smith, in 1825. The first saw mill was erected in the north part, by John S. Culver. The first religious services were held at tlie house of John White hy the Methodists, under the direction of Rev. Cyrus Story, in 1.S20, and the first Church was formed by tiie same denomination, at the White settle- ment, iu 1831. HUME was formed from Pike, Wyoming Co., Feb. 20, 1822. The first town meeting was held at the house of Gardner Cooke on Tuesday, June 2, 1822, and the following named officers were elected. Joshua Skilf, Supervisor; Luther Couch, Town Clerk; Elijah Patridge, Roger Mills and Moses Eobinson, Assessors; Gardner Cooke, Collector; Hiram Fuller, Elisba Mills and James Drake, Commissioners of Highways; Hubbard Fuller and Joshua Skiff, Overseers of the Poor ; Luther Couch, Myron Skiff and Orrin Doud, Commissioners of Common Schools; Elisha Mills, Cyrus Andrews and Gardner Cooke, Inspectors of Schools; and Gardner Cooke, Constable. The town lies upon the north border of the county, west of the center, and contains 24,274 acres. The surface is a hilly up- land, watered by Genesee River, which forms the northern half of the east boundary, and several small streams, the principal of which are Wiscoy, Cold and Six Town creeks, which empty ETJME. 103 into the Genesee upon the west, and furnish excellent water privili^es. The Wiscoy furnishes the best water power in the county. At the village of Wiscoy it falls about seventy feet in some eighty rods* The Genesee is bordered by hills which rise abruptly to a height of 400 to 700 feet. The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, best adapted to grazing, and the farmers are chiefly engaged in dairying. The rich interval ofthe river is highly productive and produces good crops of wheat and other cereals. The Caneadea Reservation lies mostly within this town. The Geoesee Valley Canal extends through the eastern part ofthe town in the valley of the Genesee. The population of the town in 1870 was 1920; of whom 1775 were native, 145, foreign and all, except three, white. Hume, (p. o.) (familiarly known as Cold Creek,) is situated on Cold Creek, a little south-west of the center of the town, and contains three churches, three stores, one grocery, two hotels, a grist mill, harness shop, tailor shop, two shoe shops, two wagon shops, one blacksmith shop and about 300 inhabit- ants. The population in 1870 was 254. Fillmore, (p. o.) situated on the west bank of the Genesee, at the mouth of Cold Creek, and on the Genesee Valley Canal, contains one church, one hotel, three stores, a wagon manufac- tory, three blacksmith shops, a cheese factory and about 300 inhabitants. The population in 1870 was 215. Wiscoy, (p. o.) (also known as Mixville,) situated on Wiscoy Creek, in tne north-east part, derives its name from the Creek upon which it is located, and contains one church, (M. E.) one hotel, three stores, a foundry and machine shop, a cabinet manufactory, grist mill, saw mill, blacksmith shop, wagon shop and about 250 inhabitants. The population in 1870 was 193^ Mills' Mills, (p. o.) situated on Wiscoy Creek, in the north part of the town, contains a school house, cabinet manufactory, grist mill, saw mill, carding machine and about ten dwellings. Settlement was commenced in the spring of 1806, by Roger Mills, from Cauajoharie, Montgomery Co., who stopped for a season at Pike, Wyoming Co., which then contained some half- dozen families within its present limits, and where he one day hired a man named Olinn, who was considerably acquainted ! with this country, to traverse with him the course of Wiscoy Creek, in the direction of the Genesee, and prospect for a desirable mill site, paying him therefor one dollar. Arriving ♦Wiscoy is a compound Indian name, from Wis, the fifth Indian numeral, signify- ing the creek of live falls. [From Pioneer Sketches, written by John S. Minard of Hume. 104 HUME. at the upper falls of that stream its excellent water power de- termined him to secure the lands upon which they are located, and he proceeded to Batavia and articled lots 36 and 37; for the town, with the exception of the Reservation and that part of it which lies east of the transit line, had been surveyed the pre- vious summer by Judge Wm. Peacock, of Mayville, Chau- tauqua Co., who, in describing the territory embraced in its limits, said "the amimals were wolves, marten, deer, rattle- snakes and Indians, and sometimes the worst of these were the Indians, as on one occasion I had one of my pack horses stolen, but to which I recovered after much annoyance and delay. Beautiful brook trout were abundant in all the streams." Bears, though not mentioned by him, were quite numerous years subsequent to his survey. Mr. Mills erected a log cabin, which was characterized by the conveniences (or perhaps we should say inconveniences,) of those in all the new settlements of that day, previous to the introduction of the saw mill. In 1807 he constructed a dam across the Wiscoy and erected a saw mill, and in 1808, a grist mill, with a single run of stones, was built. These were the first mills erected in the town, and the latter was, probably, the only one in the county, with the exception of the one built by Judge Church at Angelica. They were an important acquisition to the settlements in their immediate vicinity. 8o sparsely was the coun- try settled at that time that settlers came all the way from Geneseo to attend the raising, and some of the Indians from the Reservation turned out and assisted. The stones, which were from the celebrated Esopus quarries, and castings were brought from Albany upon sleighs the preceding winter, by George Mills and Zacliariah Keyes. In crossing Cayuga Lake one of the sleighs broke through the ice, which was thin, but as they were near the shore it was drawn out after some little delay with the assistance of an eight horse team. " The principal gearing, cog-wheels, &c. were made of wood, and compared with modern mill machinery was very rude and much more noisy in its operation;" but "probably no event during those early years of pioneer life was hailed with more delight than the I erection and successful operation of this mill. It saved the ; early settlers of our town many a long mile of weary travel, \ enabling them to appropriate time, otherwise spent in tedious ] journeys of thirty or forty miles to the nearest mill, to the I clearing up and improvement of their new homes." This mill | received the patronage of the settlers for many miles around, some coming all the way from Great Valley, Cattaraugus Co., f Angelica, Short Tract and nearly as far north as Mt. Morris, fol- [ lowing for a good part of the distance Indian trails, bridle paths UUitE. 105 or marked trees until they neared the mill, when they struck the primitive roads. The grists were usually carried on horse back and at a later day on drays. "It used to be said that between this mill and Patches' Corners, some three miles north, there was but one mud hole, [which] was contiiious and extended from one place to the other." Settlers coming from a distance frequently had occasion to remain at the mill over night while waiting for their grists, and gladly availed themselves of its hoiel accommodations, beds being extemporized of bags of grain. Here W.W. Penfield once sold goods ; and here, too, the few letters and fewer papers for the neighboring settlers were brought from the nearest post office and left for distribu- tion. Eoger Mills returned to Montgomery Co., where he was taken sick and died in 1811. In the summer of that year his sou Roger moved his family into the mill and built a shanty for a kitchen beside it. This was the first framed house erected iu the town. It "still stands, but has been repaired so that it now scarcely shows any of its ancient appearances." Roger Mills Jr. while living iu the mill, had a son born. Mr. Mills was born near Hartford, Conn,, where he carried on butchering about the time of the Revolutionary war. He removed thence toCanajoharie, where he remained till the death of his father. He was a man of strict integrity and was for mauy years exten- sively engaged in business and prominently identified with all that contributed to the early growth and prosperity of the town. He left a numerous family most of whom still reside in this town and manifest more or less of the sterling qualities which distinguished their father. In 1809 Elisha Mills opened a store in the mill, which was the first kept in the town; and for several years he kept a store in the old mill house. His goods were brought from Albany upon sleighs or wagons and were replen- ished in the same way as occasion required. The Indians upon the river frequently patronized this store. A loaf of bread, or a mere trinket from it, would at any time command a ham of venison. For many years the* former was the established price, atid every winter the loft in the grist mill was stored with large quantities of venison, which always i'ound a ready market in the older settlements north and east. The grist mill superceded the mortar and pestle with the Indians, who nearly all be- came patrons of the tesionah, as they called it, bringing small quantities of their oiiah (corn) to be ground. The saw mill they called Kanisleoni ; but this they never patronized, as it required too much labor to cut and draw the logs, which was inconsistent with their habits of indolence. In 18U7, N. Dixon settled on lot 109, iu the north-east part of tiie town, where he was probably the first settler. In 1809, 106 SUME. Joshua Skiff, from Otsego Co., articled the north part of lot 38, paying Mr. Mills, who had previously had it booked to him- self,' $5 for his chance. He secured board with Elisha Mills and during the summer cleared about three acres which, in the fall, he sowed to wheat. That fall he built a log cabin, settlers " from near and far," to the number of eleven men and two women, assisting him in the raising. After its completion he went back to Otsego Co., returning early in 1810 with his wife. This latter year his eldest son, (Milton W.) was born, and is be- lieved to be the first white child born in the town. He rapidly brought his land under cultivation and raised a considerable quantity of grain, so that he was able to bridge over with tol- erable comfort the hard times which followed the cold season of 1816, which bore with great severity upon many of the settle- mentsin thisand neighboringlocalities where less preparation had been made for such a contingency. He was elected the first super- visor upon the erection of the town, and held that office three years in succession. He had been supervisor of Pike for two years preceding the erection of this town. He died in 1846, at the age of 63 years. The settlement of Moses Robinson was contem- porary with that of Skiff. He came from the same locality in Otsego Co. and located on lot 32, a little ^outh-vvest of him. He was an inveterate whittler, a habit which grew upon him as he advanced in years. After his years of active labor and out- door exercise had passed he spent his evenings almost entirely in that pastime, whittling a bushel of shavings at a sitting. He took good care to always have a, good supply of whittling timber on hand. John Bellinger, from Otsego Co., took up land the same year on lot 112. About 1810 or '11, Edmund Skiff, a brother of Joshua, settled on lot 24, and commenced improvements; but on the opening of the war of 1812, in con- sequence of the timidity of his wife lest the Indians in this lo- cality should join the British, he was constrained to return to Otsego Co., whence he came. He traded places with Hubbard Fuller, who came in the same year, (1812,) and prosecuted with energy the various improvements the new place demanded. He articled other lands near him, and at one time possessed quite an extensive tract. Luther Couch, the first town clerk, and after- terwards supervisor and justice of the peace, came in about the close of the yv-AV, at first conducting a school, and boarding with Hubbard Fuller, whose daughter, Sylvia, he soon after married. He commenced to keep house in Pike, near where his father lived, but after a year or two he returned and took up land on lot 24. Aaron Robinson, a brother of Moses, Sjettled early on lot 32, and was for some years a man of extensive business ope- rations. He built a tannery over a hundred feet long, employ- HUME. X07 ii)g quite a number of men, and conducted a boot and shoe shop in connection with it, employing seven or eight men. Amos Robinson settled early on lot 28, the part known as Peach Orchard. The following incident is related of him by Mr. Mi- nard. before qiiotod : " He was fishing one day in Cold Creek, north of Hume vil- lage, when his attention was attracted by a rustling in the leaves and bushes, a little way up the creek. Turning his eyes in that direction what was his surprise to behold a large bear approaching him. Hurriedly breaking or cutting f(uir or five feet oif the butt end of his fish pole, he at once made for his bearship. *Bru;n alarmed at the bold front and resolute man- ner of his assailant, turned tail to beat a hasty retreat, and at- tempted to climb a tree, in which act Robinson overtook him, and wiih well directed and ponderous blows upon the face and head soon dispatched him." The first school in town was taught by Caroline Russell, from Montgomery Co., in the summer of 18l2, in the stable part of a barn, which is still standing, or was at a recent date. Settlement proceeded quite slowly for several years so that early in 1815 there were not more than twenty families in town. About this time, however, quite an influx of emigration, chiefly from Otsego Co., set in and continued lor ten or more years, at the end of which time you could scarcely meet with a man in the whole town who was not from Otsego or Montgomery counties. Josiah Hamer, from New .Jersey, settled between Mills' Mills and Wiscoy. on the farm now occupied by one of his sons, in 1815; and Edward Doud, from Hartwick, Otsego Co., settled in the northern part on lot 81, in June of that year. Charles Trail settled on lot? and Joel Elmer, on lot 14, the same year. Elmer came from Ontario Co. and to that county from Otsego Co. He built a house and moved his family in in the fall. Hamer had previously resided at (leneseo and Portage in Liv- ingston Co., and moved in here from the latter place. Benja- min Cooley, from Delaware Co., came in 1816 and took up a farm in the northern part, about one and one-half miles from VVisc(^y, and on which one of his sons still lives. Joel Stock- well, from Brattleboro, Vt., took up a large farm in the north- eastern part, where he remained till his death, in December, 1817; and Luman Trail, from Otsego Co., in the north-western part, where he still lives, the same year. Roswell Gibbs moved in with another family from the town of Bethel, Windsor Co., Vt., his native place, and settled in the north-western part in 1818. He came partway with a span of horses and sleigh and the remain- der of the way with a wagon, the journey occupying seventeen days. When he arrived here he had only fifty cents and a horse. 1 08 HUME. He bnilt a log house and moved into it before it was chincked or a chimney built. Pins were used instead of nails, as he was too poor to buy the latter, and greased paper, a common substi- tute in early days for glass, adorned his windows. Being un- able after several years to raise enough money to get an article of his land he borrowed a dollar of his father for that purpose, for which he gave his note. He still lives upon the farm he first took up. In March, 1819, Dexter Carpenter, from Vermont, settled in the north part of lot 111. In 1816 Roger Mills and Bailey Clough erected a carding mill a few rods below tlie grist mill. This was the first establishment of its kind in the north- ern part of the county, and to it was soon added the necessary machinery and Bxtures for coloring, dressing and pressing the homa-made cloth of the neighborhood. It was extensively pa- tronized by the inhabitants of the various settlements for many miles in every direction. At this and a little later period the settlers had to go to Geneseo to oet their blacksmithing done, until the advent of Thomas Pyre, the pioneer blacksmith, who opened a shop at the Mills. In 1815 the first inn was opened by George Mills. It was a log house, situated a little north of the mill. From the Pioneer Sketches written by John S. Minard of Hume, to which we are indebted for many facts relative the earl} settlementsof this town, we extract the following interest- ing description of the first settlements in Hume. "The first season or two they [the settlers] led a sort of batchelor life, keeping a kind of Batchelor Hall; no woman, as yet, to share in the toils, trials, hardships and privations ever incident to frontier life; or to prepare and cook their simple food. All the simpler operations of cookery, such a boiling, baking and roastinsi patatoes, and preparing their meat, they were able to perform; but the higher offices in the culinary department, required more skill than they were possessed of, so they were obliged to go ta Pike, a distance of five miles, to get their bread baked The nearest grist mill at that time was upon the outlet of Conesus lake, a few miles below Geneseo. At present it would consume no more time to make the round trip to New York City and back than it then took for our pioneers to perform the simple operation of going to mill. Pork, potatoes, beans, beef, flour and salt constituted the variety of food and provisions upon which they [subsisted ] The cow in her advent was almost comtenipo- raneous with man, being as indispensible for sustenance as was the ox for the purpose oi^ labor. Nicknacks, frosted cakes, cookies and sweet meats, with their attendant evils, mdigestion and dyspepsia, were to them unknown, and better for us had they remained unknown to this day. And yet, these backwoodsmen were no strangers to joy and its kindred passions. Ah, No ! far from it ! Every tree that fell crashing to the ground, echoing and re-echoing among the pillars of God's first temples, saluted their ears with music 'almost divine;' every log heap which, in the shades of night, sent a gleam of light through the dark forests, sent also bright rays of hope to their hearts ; and every clearing large enough to admit God's sunlight through to bathe the original soil, gave to them HUME. 109 an earnest of the harvest that should gladden their hearts, and richly re- ward them for tiieir labors." We quote the following from the same authority : "In 1817 or '18, grain becoming considerably abundant, distilleries began to be erected. One was built on what is called the 'Grover place'. Soon after one was built at the mills, and not long after that one was built by Hanier betweerv Mills' Mills and Wiscoy. At these distilleries the surplus grain of the neighboring settlements, which would not command the cash at any price whatever, was manufactured into whiskt y, and in that condition found both a home and foreign market. The Indians used to patronize these institutions quite extensively, bringing their corn to exchange for whiskey, for which they nearly all had a very strong weak- ness. A little incident illustrative of Indian cunning. The corn that the Indians raised when the whites made their appearance was a wh'te, softish kind, easily broken in the mortar, but quite inferior to the yellow corn introduced by the Yankees, as the Indians called them. For distilling purposes it was far inferior. They soon began to raise the yellow or 'Yankee' corn, as they called it. Some of the Millses had a piece of corn on new land. It was cut and put in stooks to season for husking, and nothing more thought of it. The 'Yankee' corn of the Indians began to come in in profusion, in exchange for whiskey, and quite a trade was driven in that branch of commerce. Soon, however, it was thought the corn must be in good condition for husking. So, repairing to the field for that purpose, they were surprised to tind themselves entirely relieved from that, it was their own corn which they had been taking in so freely at the distillery." About 1825 Nathaniel E. Mills opened a store and started an ashery at the Mills. The Indians brought ashes in bags upon their backs, from which the coals were nicely sifted, and ex- changed them for goods and trinkets. Capt. Samuel Eussell came from Montgomery Co. a short time after the Millses and settled a little north of the Mills. Eleazer Bliss, from Otsego Co., settled in the western part of the town in 1826. Elijah Clark, a native of Mass., moved in from the same county as Bliss and settled in the same locality the next year. Joel Kings- ley, from Livingston Co., also came in 1827, and settled in the north-eastern part. Settlement at Hume village was commenced about 1820, by Sylvan us Hammond, from Middlebury, who made some improve- ments on the north side of the creek and built the first house, a log one. Ira Higbee settled here early and built a log house south of the creek, but soon sold out to Ebenezer Utiey, from Butternuts, Ctsego Co., who came on in January, 1823. James Drake made a clearing and erected a sort of plank or block house. Luther Merchant, from Middlebury, settled and built a log house about where the Ingham Hotel is. C.G.Ingham bought him out and moved into the house in March, 1823. Ingham Came from Bethany, to which place he had removed from Her- kimer Co. The tirst saw mill here was built by Blakeley & no HUME. Drake in 1823, just below the " budge" on the north side of the creek. The pioneer blacksmith was Ruby, who built a shop on the south side of the bridge. The first resident physician was Dr. Joseph Balcom, from New Berlin, Rensselaer Co., who resided here till his death in 1851. The first merchant was James D. McKean, who first exposed his goods in Ingham's bar, in 1825, but soon removed to the front room, where he suc- ceeded so well that he put up a store, the first in the place. The first school at this place was taught by Charles Mathers, in the winter of 1823-4. The first grist mill was built in 1829, by Ozro Thomas and John Freeman. It contained two runs of stones and stood on the south bank of the creek, about twenty rods below the falls. The first tannery was built by Townsend & Smith. The postoffice was established in 1826, and Chauu-- cey Ingham was the first postmaster. The first mail contained one letter only. Settlement at Wiscoy was begun in 1828, by Lawrence Wilkes, the pioneer blacksmith. A saw mill was erected the same year by Mr. Mix; and a grist mill and tavern in 1829, by Henry Torrey. In 1830 the first store was opened by Orrin Kingsley and Isaac Wheeler. Dr. Keyes, who settled here the latter year, was the first physician. David Geer, David Ayde, Sawyer and Ilibbard Price were early settlers at Wiscoy. Up to 1836 the site of Fillmore was covered with a heavy growth of pine, buttonwood, butternut and elm. John Whiting, if not the first, was one of the first settlers. He settled upon a farm just south of the village and built a saw mill on the creek. In 1838, Abner Leet built the first tavern just west of the ca- nal. Asgil S. Dudley opened the first store in June, 1839. He was also the first postmaster on the establishment of the office in 1850. The first religious services were held at the house of Roger Mills, by a missionary from Rushford and Caneadea, some time during the war of 1812-14. Elders Kendall and Ephraim Sanford, the latter from (Janeadea, were pioneer preachers. The Second 31. E Chuich of Hume, at "Wiscoy, was organized with about thirty-five members, in 1824, by Kev. Mr. Waller, the first pastor. The church edifice was erected in 1826, at a cost of some $3,000, and was re- modeled in 1870. It will seat 300 persons. The Society, numbering forty, is under the spiritual tutelage of Rev. J. F. Brown, our informant. The Church property is valued at $5,000. The FcTst Baptist Church of Hume, at Hume village; was organized with twenty-two members in 1835, by Elders James Reed, J. C. Sangster and A. Miner. Their first house of worship was erected iu 1836; the present one, which will seat 300 person^, in 1850, at a cost of some $2,000. The first pastor was Rev. Rufus.Sabin.- The Society numbers about thirty, but has no pastor. The 'frftiperty of the (Jhurch is valued at $2,500. {In- formation furnished by Mr. Milo Jves. HTJME— INDEPENDENCE. Ill The First Universadst Church of Hume, at Hume village, was organized with thirty-five members, Jan 25, 1842, by Rev. I. B. Sharp, the first and present pastor, also our informant.

Their house of worship was erected in 1841, by the Congregational Society, which is now extinct. It cost originally $1200, and will seat 250 persons. The present number of members is twenty, and the pastor. Rev J. F. Brown. The Church property is valued at $1500. [^Information furnislied by Mr. W. 8. Seaver. INDEPENDENCE was formed from Alfred, March 16, 1821. Andover was taken off Jan. 38, 1824, and a part of Willing, Nov. 19, 1851. It lies in the south-east corner of the county, and contains 21,572 acres. The surface is a mountain- ous upland, broken by deep, narrow valleys. The highest sum- mits are 800 to l,200"feet above the valleys. It is drained by Cryder Creek in the south part and Chenunda Creek in the north. It is abundantly watered by numerous springs. The soil is principally a gravelly loam, with sections of sand. The people are chiefly eug.iged in farming. Dairying is carried on extensively, the milk being sent to cheese factories. Large quantities of potatoes are raised and thousands of bushels are annually shipped to market. There have been six distilleries in the town. The population in 1870 was 1175 ; of whom all, except forty- two, were native, and all, except one, white. Whitesville, (p. o.) situated on Cryder Creek, in the east part of the town, derives its name from Samuel S. "White, who settled there in 1819, built the first hotel and kept a store, and contains three churches, one school, two hotels, eight stores, two wagon shops, three blacksmith shops, one planing mill and wool carding machine, a foundry and agricultural implement manufactory, a photograph gallery, cabinet shop, cheese facto- ry and sixty-three dwellings. The Whitesville Foundry and Agricultural Implement Manufac- tory was erected in 1850, and in 1854 was purchased by C. C. Allen, who has since conducted the business. Six to ten per- sons are employed. The Whitesville Cheese Factory was erected in 18fi4, by Frank- lin Forsyth, who continued it in operation six years. It then lay idle till the spring of 1<874.

Luther Austin moved in from Otsego Co. in 1818. In 1820 he removed to Bolivar and subsequently resided in Hume, again in Bolivar and Amity, and in 1840 he settled in the south part of Genesee, where his son, John W. Austin, who came in with him frotfi Otsego Co., at the age of two years, still resides. Alvan Richardson and Nathan Gilbert, from Otsego Co., made the first settlement at Richburg in 1819. " James Smith came from Wyoming Co. in 1830, and his brother Per- kins, from the same county, the following March. Simon Wigbtman, Reuben Whitney and Philip Appleby, from Onon- daga Co., and Josiah Wheeler and Joseph Allen, from Madison Co., came in in 1821. Wighcman settled in the south-east part. Whitney located his land that year, butdid not move his family in till 1824. Appleby was born in Dutchess Co., Dec. 9, 1791. He removed from Onondaga Co. to Wyoming Co. in 1820, and to this town in September, 1821. He is still a resident of the county. Mr. Appleby says he caught forty-two deer in one trap within three or lour years after coming in. He says the near- est grist tnill was at Belfast and there were times when the set- tlers could get no grain ground for six weeks at a time. At such times the mortar and pestle, so common in all the e.irly settle- ments of this county, were resorted to. Mr. Appleby construct- ed one of the rude contrivances then in vogue for grinding corn and it was extensively used by the settlers in his vicinity. The mortar consisted of a hard-wood stump in the top of which a cavity capable of holding about half a bushel was burned. Over this was suspended a spring pole, to the end of which was attached the pounder in such manner as to hang directly over the cavity in the stump. A bar was inserted in the lower end of the pounder, at a convenient height, and was used as a han- dle. The finest of the meal resulting from this method of grinding was mtide into bread and the coarser into pudding. Jonah French came in from Wyoming Co. in 1822; and Gil- bert Thomas and Levi Appleby, from Onondaga Co., Calvin Wheeler, fi-om Madison Co., L^aiah Jordan and Elisha Dakin from Steuben Co., and Robert Almy, in 1823. The Applebys made the first settlement in the east part of the town. Jordan and Diikin settled in the western part. The former still lives upon the farm he then settled, and although he has not removed therefrom he has in the meantime been a resident of three dif- ferent towns. Pliny Evans moved in from Otsego Co. in 1824, ;mi(1 John Scott, a native of Conn,, from Genesee Co., in the Slimmer of 1828. Scott, with the aid of three sons who came with him, made a clearing, sowed some oats and millet and 280 ^^^^• built a log house. In the fall they returned to Genesee Co. and harvested their crops there, and late in the season they came and harvested their oats and millet, but before they finished snow fell to the depth of four inches. In the spring of 1829 Mr. Scott moved his family in. The first birth was that of Benj. Crab- tree Jr., in 1813; and the first marriage, that of Hyra Axtell and Lucy Crabtree, in 1814. The first school was taught in the north part, by Sophia Hitchcock, in 1820. Alvan Richardson kept the first inn in 1824. He also built the first saw mill in that year and the first grist mill in 1825, on Little Genesee Creek, near Richburg. Francis L. Leroy kept the first store in 1824. The first religious services were held by the Baptists, at the house of Benj. Crabtree, in 1816, and were conducted by Rev. Jonathan Post. The first Church was formed by members of the same denomination in 1826. The Seventh Day Baptist Church of Wirt and Bolivar, at Richburg, was organized with eighteen members, Dec. 30, 1827. The first pastor was Rev. John Green; the present one is Rev. G. J. Crandall. The Church property is valued at $3500. [^Information furnished by Mr. E. 8. Bliss. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 014 078 245 2
