TESTIMONIALS
RELATING TO
HOTCHKIN'S HISTORY OF WESTERN NEW YORK.
An Extract from the Minutes of the Synod of Genera.
" Whereas Rev. James H. Hotchkin has stated to this Synod his design to compile and prepare a History of the Presbyterian Church in Western New York,
" Resolved, That the above Plan of Mr. Hotchkin is warmly approved and commended to the patronage of the churches, and that the papers and documents of this Synod be opened freely to his inspection ; and Pastors and Sessions within our bounds are requested to co-operate with him by furnishing any mate- rials in their power needful for the completion of the Work.
" A true Extraet from the Minutes of the Synod of Geneva.
" Cortlandville, Oct. 9th, 1845.
" Attest, P. FOWLER, Temp. Clerk."
A Testimonial similar to the above was given by the Synod of Genesee in July, 1846; also by the Presbytery of Geneva in Feb., 1845.
Testimonials from Rev. Henry Mills, D.D., Rev. Laurens P. Hickok, D.D., and Rev. Samuel M. Hopkins, Professors in the Theological Seminary of Auburn, and Rev. Luther Halsey, D.D., late Professor of Ecclesiastical History.
" Deeply impressed with the importance of an accurate history of the state of society in Western New York, especially of the rise and extension of our churches in this interesting region, and of securing a knowledge of the facts while yet the memory of the pioneers of the enterprise is fresh in the minds of surviving wit- nesses, it was with pleasure we heard of the design of Rev. James H. Hotehkin to prepare such a history .- The early acquaintance of Mr. Hotehkin with the efforts in their incipient stages, the part he has subsequently borne, and his habits of statistical accuracy in facts and dates, seem to designate him as the one above all others who should engage in such a work. The length of time which he has sedulously devoted to gather and arrange the requisite materials, increases

our confident hope that he will supply a volume highly acceptable to the general reader, and of the deepest interest to the churches whose early history it is his special object to record.
HENRY MILLS, SAMUEL M. HOPKINS, LUTHER HALSEY.
" Auburn, May 4th, 1848."
" My acquaintance with Rev. Mr. Hotchkin has been more limited than in the case of my colleagues, but so far as it extends, it is in concurrence with the above.
"L. P. HICKOK."
From Rev. Leonard E. Lathrop, D.D., Pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Auburn.
" The views expressed above have my hearty concurrence.
"L. E. LATHROP."
From Rev. Henry Dwight, of Geneva.
"I have long been acquainted with Rev. Mr. Hotchkin, and think him well qualified for the work in which he is engaged.
" H. DWIGHT."
From Rev. Miles P. Squier of Geneva.
" Mr. Hotehkin having been for about half a century an inhabitant of Western New York, and during that period intimately and extensively acquainted with its ecclesiastical history, and having devoted much time with patient industry and research to the subject of his contemplated work, will, I doubt not, make it a valuable acquisition to the Christian history and literature of the country.
" MILES P. SQUIER."
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO THE AUTHOR.
From Rev. John A. Murray, Agent of the American Home Missionary Society.
" The brethren whom I have consulted are of the opinion that such a work as you propose preparing is desirable, and would be highly useful. As a book of reference it would be very valuable, and if made to contain interesting facts of the early settlement of the towns and organization of the churches, it would be- come peculiarly interesting to many minds. The brethren are of opinion that your long residence in this part of the State and personal knowledge of facts would make you a suitable person to collect materials and complete the work."
From Rev. Thomas Lounsbury, of Ovid.
" If your History is ushered into the world in the right way and at the proper place, I think it will command a rapid and extensive sale, so that you may be handsomely remunerated for your labors. It is just such a work as all the clergy and many laymen will desire to possess."
iii
TESTIMONIALS.
From IIon. Elial T. Foote, formerly First Judge of the County of Chautauque.
" It will be a pleasure and not a burden to render you all the assistance in my power in your most praiseworthy effort. Some years since, I urged upon you the importance of committing to paper your early reminiscences of Western New York, as connected with the foundation of churches, and early missionary opera- tions. I well knew that your own recollections alone were important to be pre- served. You have seen Western New York brought from a savage wilderness to its present situation. You were an early laborer there in planting the standard of Christ, and God, in his mercy, has spared you to survive all, or nearly all, of the pioneers of our country in missionary operations. I shall prize your book highly, and I long to see it published, and hope it may not only prove a blessing to the churches by raising a spirit of grateful recollection for past mereies, but that you may be abundantly remunerated in a pecuniary point of view, by the rapid sale of your book when published."
From S. S. Forman, Esq., of Onondaga.
" I hope that you will meet with every encouragement to complete your enter- prise of writing the History of Western New York."
From Wm. Eager, Esq., of De Witt.
"Should you be successful in procuring the materials you want to complete the undertaking, you will doubtless be instrumental of great good to the churches and people of Western New York, to say nothing of the good to others. May the Lord, our Heavenly Father, succeed and prosper you therein."
From Rev. Amos C. Tuttle, Sherburne.
" I am highly gratified with your contemplated plan, and trust you will receive all needed assistance from the pastors of the churches. A history of the Pres- byterian churches in Western New York would constitute such a record of God's grace and covenant faithfulness with his people, as should be transmitted to those who shall come after us."
From Rev. W. N. McHarg, Albion.
" I shall be happy, if it should be in my power, to do you any service, as the object is one in which I feel great interest."
From Rev. E. B. Fancher, Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Cortland.
"Permit me, Sir, to wish you success in your labor of love. May it be a monument to your memory which shall long be fondly cherished by the churches of Western New York !"
From Rev. II. J. Gaylord, Union.
" The above statement is submitted with the wish and prayer that your efforts to prepare a History, in every way so desirable, may be erowned with success."
From Rev. Linus W. Billington, Scottsville.
" You have undertaken a work which will require much thought and pains ; but I hope you will find it pleasant, and be able to finish it to your satisfaction. It will be a work of great interest to many, and well adapted to be useful."

PREFACE.
IN presenting the following work to the publie, the author feels that no apolo- gy is necessary. It contains a record of facts in which the providenee, the power, and the grace of God have been manifested in a very conspicuous man- ner, and calculated to call forth emotions of gratitude and expressions of thanks- giving from the hearts and lips of the people of God. The providence of God towards Western New York, and towards the Presbyterian Church in that re- gion, has been peculiar, and deserves to be had in everlasting remembrance. In the compilation of this work, in which the author has spent the greater part of three years, he trusts that he has not been unmindful of the advice of a vene- rated servant of Christ, a former laborer in this part of the moral vineyard, in speaking of the instruments which God has employed in preaching the gospel, and establishing churches in this region, to speak of them in the spirit of 1 Cor. iii. 5-7, and to speak and write in such a manner, "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ." The author has been a preacher of the Gos- pel in Western New York ever since the summer of 1801. At that period the Congregational and Presbyterian ministers resident on the territory, did not ex- ceed in number ten or twelve, and the churches were few and small. All the ministers are now deceased, with one exception, and that one has long since left the region. The author has therefore been conversant with the ecclesiastical affairs of Western New York longer than any other Presbyterian minister. Nor has he been an inattentive observer of the events that have occurred. In the following History he relates many things from his own observation and recol- lection, and some from a vivid recollection of conversations with early settlers many years since. In laboring to prepare himself for the work he has examined with care, and made extracts from the Minutes of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the Records of the Synods and Presbyteries in Western New York, the Reports of Missionary and other Societies, old Magazines, in some instances, Files of Newspapers, Laws of the State of New York, and every other document within his knowledge that might give him any information. Nearly three years since he issued a Cireular, announcing his purpose to com- pile and publish a History of the Presbyterian Church in Western New York, together with the plan of the intended work, and requesting the history of in-

PREFACE.
dividual churches, in reply to questions proposed in the Circular. Five hun- dred copies of this Circular were distributed. It was the intention of the author that one of these Circulars should be placed in the hands of the pastor or some other individual of each Presbyterian and Congregational church. The num- ber of churches, the history of which is given in this work, is about 430. The author has received answers to his Circular relating to about 130 of these church- es. The history of the others has been gathered from other sources, and the in- formation in most instances was very seanty. He has in many instances found difficulty resulting from the change of names. The original church of Au- relius is now Springport. The original church of Geneseo is now Lakeville. The present church of Pittsford was originally Northfield, then Boyle, and sub- sequently, Pittsford. Very many such changes have occurred in the progress of time, and in many instances the change is not noticed on the Records of the Presbyteries. From these circumstances the author cannot be positive that he has not, in some few instances, been led into mistakes. He can only say, that he has endeavored to be accurate, and has intended to rely on no doubtful tes- timony. Where the author has expressed an opinion which he knows is in con- flict with the opinion of many others, and especially concerning subjects which have elicited strong feeling, he has intended to exhibit his views with kindness, and in conciliatory language, and he believes that his work will not be character- ized as a mere partisan performance, but will be read with satisfaction by those who may differ with him in opinion. It has been his wish to produce a work which should impart profitable instruction, and be read with pleasure by differ- ent classes, and which in the clergyman's study and gentleman's library should constitute a valuable book of reference for many years to come. How far he has succeeded in his enterprise must be left for a candid public to judge.
The author's History relates to Western New York. This term may be some- what ambiguous. As the author employs the term, Western New York embraces all that part of the State of New York which is bounded on the east by the east- ern bounds of the counties of Broome, Chenango, and Madison : on the north by the northern boundary of the county of Onondaga, and Lake Ontario ; and on the north-west, west, and south, by the boundaries of the State.
In conclusion, the Author would commend his work to God, and to the kind- ness of an intelligent Christian Public, hoping that the reader will find in it matter of thanksgiving and praise to God, and benefit to his own soul.
