PREFACE.


THE History of Steuben County is made up chiefly of local annals. There is little in it which reaches baek to the Colonial or even to the Revolutionary period. In the preparation of the following pages, everything known to the writer as furnishing any information respecting the state of this locality in the time of the Colonies and during the Revolution, has been carefully sought out and embodied in a few preliminary chapters.


For our earliest geographical knowledge of this portion of the State of New York, we are indebted to the French military authorities at Fort Niagara, who, during the old contest with the English for supremacy over a large portion of this country, built and occupied that important garrison. Captain Pouchot, a French engineer at Fort Niagara, made the first map in which the principal streams of this county are indicated, deriving his information of the topography of the country from the Indians, whose knowledge appears to have been remarkably accurate. This map is found in the " Paris Documents," and was published in Paris in 1758.


The history which we have given of the aboriginal inhabitants of this county has not been confined to the fragments of tribes who inhabited it at the time of its first discovery by Europeans, but has taken a wider range, embracing a general account of the Indian nations from which they sprang. and, especially, of the Iroquois, who were the dominant raee throughout this region of country. The rivalry and mutual conflicts between these and the Andastes and Delawares, leading to the final conquest of the latter and the colonization of a mixed remnant of the broken tribes within the territory of Steuben County, have also been brought to view, and the general subject, thus presented, has been supplemented by a chapter on the Indian occupaney of this county prior to and during the period of the Revolution. This has been followed by an account of the general condition of the Indians subsequent to the Revolution, and the extinguishment of their title to lands in the State of New York.


The various documents, journals, and reports of the campaign of General Sullivan in 1779, and the histories and reminiscences of the Wyoming massaere, furnish us with the only knowledge we have of this locality during the struggle of the Colonies for independence. Happily, for our later history, the pre-emption right of the State of Mas- sachusetts, the purchase of these lands by Phelps and Gorham, and the transmission of their title to the present inhabitants, are matters of public record. We have largely in this department availed ourselves of the excellent work of Mr. Turner, entitled "Phelps and Gorham's Purchase," and, in the later phases of the Pulteney Estate, of the researches and conclusions of some of the most eminent legal minds in the county. It is unnecessary here to enumerate the authors we have consulted in the preparation of this volume, as they are generally referred to in the foot-notes or in the text of the work.

PREFACE.


Steuben County has had an organic existence of eighty-three years. It was settled originally by a hardy and enterprising class of people. It would be strange if such a people, and their intelligent and progressive descendants, during a period of nearly a century, had not made history enough to fill one volume, to say nothing of the doings of their savage predecessors, or of the discoveries and military expeditions which prepared the way for their advent to these hills and valleys. The history made by the settlers and their descendants, the local annals of town and village, with which the work chiefly abounds, the recital of thrilling incidents of border life, the privations and hardships of the pio- neers, the rehearsal of the rude and quaint manners and customs of the "olden times," will have much more of interest for the general reader than the most profound and labored discussion of antiquities remote from actual life.


The history contained in the present volume has been compiled with a great deal of labor; yet, it has been a pleasure to the writer. The citizens of the county, in every locality, have manifested an interest in the work, and many have freely and cheerfully aided in the collection of materials. The arrangement of the work is such as is deemed, upon the whole, best adapted to the orderly classification of the large amount of matter which such a county must necessarily furnish, the plan being, first, a general history of the county at large, and then a history of each separate town and village. The biographies. for the most part, with their accompanying portraits and views of residences, are placed in the several towns to which they belong, and the whole is carefully indexed, so as to facili- tate reference. We have deemed it most in harmony with common usage, as well as best adapted to give general satisfaction, to arrange the towns in alphabetical order.


Among those whom the writer and publishers desire especially to thank for valuable assistance rendered in the compilation of the work, are Hon. Guy H. MeMaster. Ansel J. McCall, Esq., Hon. David Rumsey, R. E. Robie, Esq .. Rev. Jaines M. Platt, and Rev. O. R. Howard, D.D., of Bath; Charles H. Erwin, of Painted Post ; Wm. H. Bonham, I. W. Near, and Miles W. Hawley, Esqs., of Hornellsville; C. H. Thomson, Esq., Hon. George T. Spencer, Dr. G. W. Pratt, Gen. J. H. Lansing, and C. D. Baker, Esq., of Corning; L. D. Hastings, T. M. Younglove, and G. W. Nichols, Esqs., of Hammondsport; Hon Jeremiah Baker and Joshua C. Stephens, of Canisteo; Thos. S. Crosby, Valentine Van Wormer, and Thomas Warner, Esqs. of Cohocton; William B. Pratt, Paul C. Howe, and J. H. Hotchkin, Esqs., of Prattsburgh. Besides these, many other gentle- men have aided us in procuring matter for our local histories of towns and villages, whose names are too numerous to mention in this connection. We are indebted to the editors of the county press, to the county clerk and his assistants, to the town clerks of the various towns, to many clergymen and church officials, who have courteously and freely rendered assistance in various ways.


That the work we have compiled is perfect in every respect we do not pretend. But we have aimed to make it as complete as possible under the circumstances, and such as it is we submit it to the candid judgment of our readers.
