THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDI- CATED TO THE SURVIVING SOLDIERS OF THE COUNTY OF WAYNE, AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO PER- ISHED IN WAR, OR WHO HAVE GONE DOWN TO HONOR- ED GRAVES IN THE SUCCEEDING YEARS OF PEACE. THEIR HEROIC SACRIFICES CONSTITUTE THE PRICELESS INHERITANCE OF THEIR CHILDREN, AND THE RECORD OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS WILL FORM ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST PAGES IN THE ANNALS OF THE COUNTY THROUGH ALL COMING TIME.

PREFACE.
In the month of December, 1880, the author of the pres- ent work was at Newburgh finishing the history of Orange county, upon which he had been engaged for several months, in company with Mr. E. M. Ruttenber, a gentleman of emi- nent qualifications. Urging him to write a chapter upon the part which the county had taken in the civil war, he replied : "A chapter !! Impossible ! If the publishers will issue a volume, entitled 'Orange County in the Civil War,' I shall be glad to write it."
The suggestive remark led to the preparation of the work now submitted to the people of this county. To write Wayne county in the civil war was the original thought. The thought grew as it was studied. It seemed proper to give to such a work an introduction which should allude to previous military events in the history of the county.
As soon as the materials were examined they proved to be of too much importance to be compressed within the limits of a simple introduction ; and hence what was intended to be an introductory chapter became an introductory part of nine chapters. This enlargement of the plan rendered the title as originally designed slightly inapplicable, the work having expanded to a general military history of the county.
It was evident, too, that any such historical work would be increased in value by including a notice of the civil organization of the county, with a list of officers, from the beginning to the present time. Hence the first chapter of the first part took its present form. It is believed that it

PREFACE.
now comprises within a few pages, easy of reference, clearer and more complete information upon the organization of the county and of the several towns than is found in any book heretofore published.
In chapters two, three, four and six of part first, several matters are treated of which are not exclusively military, but they are either closely connected with military matters or a discussion of them seemed necessary to explain actual military affairs.
The preparation of this volume has required extensive research and careful investigation. An examination of its contents will show the magnitude of the undertaking. In attempting to publish a book which contains names by the thousand, and so large a number of dates, it is too much to hope that perfect accuracy has been secured. It is scarcely possible that every name will be found correctly written or every date correctly given. It has been the steady aim of the author, however, to reduce the ordinary errors found in names and dates to the smallest possible percentage.
Neither labor nor expense has been spared to accomplish this end. To perfect the soldiers' lists by towns several sources of information have been sought.
Ist. All the names found in the imperfect lists of the Wayne County History of 1876 were taken.
2d. The eight large volumes containing the muster-in rolls of the State were searched for additional names.
3d. The marshals' reports of 1865, prepared in taking the census (bound up and deposited in the County Clerk's office), were carefully read.
4th. The muster-out rolls, on file in the Adjutant-Gen- eral's office at Albany, were thoroughly studied.
5th. Newspaper lists of enlisted men, or of the killed and wounded, were used to perfect the records.
7
PREFACE.
6th. General inquiry has been made from every available source.
7th. Subscribers to the book have been afforded an opportunity of writing out their own records upon blanks furnished to them, and these blanks have been freely dis- tributed, whether soldiers subscribed or not.
Equal care has been given to all other portions of the book.
The author is very sure that he has had in the preparation of this volume a deep, personal interest, amounting almost to actual enthusiasm, as he has studied the patriotic services of the soldiers of Wayne. He is equally conscious that he has devoted to the work a great amount of steady and per- sistent labor, with the sincere design of making the best pos- sible book upon the subject. He therefore confidently sub- mits the finished work to the charitable, reasonable judgment of the public.
Acknowledgments are due to the editors of all the news- papers published in the county for the hearty words of encouragement they have at all times given to the work, and for the courtesy and liberality which they have shown in publishing numerous and repeated requests for information upon various points as well as articles of greater length, explanatory of the designs.
Books consulted have been Turner's History of Phelps' and Gorham's Purchase, Charlevoix Works, Champlain's Journals, Adjutant-Generals' reports, Colonel Kreutzer's valuable history of the Ninety-Eighth, Hall's "Cayuga in the Field," McIntosh's Wayne County History, Judd's His- tory of the Thirty-Third, French's State Gazetteer, Super- visors' proceedings, Military Register of 1823, Lossing's Field Book of 1812, History of the War of 1812-published in 1816, and others " too numerous to mention."
Thanks are hereby returned to Rev. Dr. Hawley and Col. John S. Clark, of Auburn; to George Conover, of Geneva,

PART FIRST.
CHAPTER I.
INTRODUCTORY-FORMATION OF THE COUNTY-COUNTY OFFICERS AND THE BAR OF WAYNE COUNTY, 1823-OFFICERS TO THE PRESENT TIME- TOWNS-FIRST MEETINGS-SUPERVISORS DOWN TO THE PRESENT TIME.
T HE earliest county organization extended over Western New York was that of Albany. This was one of the original twelve counties into which the province of New York was divided by an act of the Colonial Legislature, passed November 1, 1683.
Albany was then described as comprising " the manor of " Rensselaerwyck, Schenectady, and all the villages, neigh- "borhoods and Christian plantations on the east side of " Hudson's river, from Roeloffe Jansen's creek, and on the " west side from Sawyer's creek to the outermost end of " Saraghtoga."
This description can scarcely be said to include the terri- tory of Western New York, which was then an unknown land. It limited Albany county north and south, but left its western boundary indefinite. Subsequent statutes, how- ever, made Albany county to include the whole territory of the province westward; but no exercise of county authority under the name of Albany could have taken place upon the soil of Wayne. The next county organization in order was that of Montgomery (first called Tryon), which was formed from Albany, March 12, 1772, just before the opening of the Revolutionary war.
All of Western New York was virtually included in Mont- gomery county for seventeen years.
At the close of that period it had become necessary that actual civil authority should be exercised over this section of country.
IO
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
The purchase by Phelps & Gorham in 1787 led to imme- diate settlement, and Ontario county was formed from Montgomery, January 27, 1789.
Canandaigua became the county seat. A part of the terri- tory now included in Wayne county was included in Ontario for thirty-four years, and the early settlement of western Wayne took place under that organization. The eastern part of Wayne county must be traced through a different line. Ontario county had been taken from Montgomery in 1789, bounded east by the " old pre-emption line." Herki- mer county was next formed from Montgomery, February 16, 1791, extending westward to the same pre-emption line. From Herkimer, Onondaga county was formed, March 5, 1794. Cayuga county was formed from Onondaga, March 8, 1799, and finally Seneca was organized out of the territory of Cayuga, March 29, 1804. This brings the record down to the formation of Wayne county, which took place April II, 1823. The present territory of Wayne lying east of the "new pre-emption line " was taken from Seneca, comprising Huron, Wolcott,* Rose, Butler, Galen and Savannah.
The territory lying west of that line was taken from Ontario County, Sodus, Williamson, Ontario, Marion, Wal- worth, Lyons, Arcadia and Macedon.
ABSTRACT OF THE ACT ERECTING THE COUNTY.
AN ACT to erect a new county from parts of the counties of Ontario and Seneca, by the name of Wayne, and for other purposes. Passed April II, 1823 :
Section 1. Be it enacted by the people of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly, that all that part of the counties of Ontario and Seneca hereinafter men- tioned ; that is to say, the towns of Wolcott and Galen, in
* It appears that Wolcott was for a time a part of the County of Cayuga. Chapter 94, Laws of 1812, is as follows :
"AN ACT to annex the Town of Wolcott, in the County of Seneca, to the "County of Cayuga.
PASSED June 6, 1812.
"Be it enacted by the People of the State of New York, represented in " Senate and Assembly :
" That all that tract of land included within the boundaries of the Town of " Wolcott, in the County of Seneca, be annexed to, and from and after the "passage of this act shall form a part of the County of Cayuga."
By Chapter 189, Laws of 1817, the town was again made a part of Seneca County.
II
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
the county of Seneca, and the towns of Lyons, Sodus, Will- iamson, Ontario, Palmyra and Macedon, and all that part of the town of Phelps which lies north of an east and west line to be run from the southwest corner of the town of Galen, in the county of Seneca, to the east line of the town of Man- chester, in the county of Ontario, together with such part of the territory of said counties as is included between the southern shore of Lake Ontario and the boundary between the United States and Upper Canada on the north, the east- erly line of the town of Wolcott continued to the said boundary line on the east, and the westerly line of the town of Ontario continued to the said boundary line on the west, shall constitute a distinct county, to be known by the name of Wayne.
By section second Wm. D. Ford, of Jefferson county, Samuel Strong, of Tioga county, and Oliver P. Ashley, of Greene county, were appointed a commission to determine the proper site of the court house and jail.
By section three, courts were provided for.
By section four the first term of the Court of Common Pleas for the new county was required to be holden in the Presbyterian church at Lyons.
By section five, authority was given Wayne county to confine prisoners in the jail of Ontario county.
By section six the county was declared to be entitled to two members of Assembly.
* *
By section nine, Nathaniel Kellogg, William Patrick and Simeon Griswold were appointed commissioners to erect jail and court house.
By section ten the first meeting of the supervisors was directed to be held at the house of Henry L. Woolsey, in Lyons, first Tuesday of October, 1823.
The election for county officers was held May 6, 1823. The Board of Canvassers, which received the returns and made the determination of the result, consisted of Enoch Morse, of Sodus ; Russell Whipple, of Williamson ; Ezekiel Price, of Lyons; Elisha Benjamin, of Wolcott; Frederick Smith, of Palmyra; Harry S. Moore, of Ontario; William P. Capron, of Macedon, and John Lewis, of Galen.
Thomas Armstrong was elected Sheriff; Israel J. Rich- ardson, Clerk, and Russell Whipple, Coroner. They took the oath of office May 13, 1823. John S. Tallmadge also qualified as Surrogate on the same day, and that may be considered the day of organization.
.

MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
The first court was held on the fourth Tuesday of May, 1823. Judge John S. Tallmadge presided, assisted by Enoch Morse and William Sisson. William H. Adams was District Attorney, and the lawyers practicing here were the follow- ing gentlemen, as shown by their signatures to the anti- dueling oath (a curiosity, by the way, still on file in the office of the county clerk): William H. Adams, Frederick Smith, Orville L. Holley, Wm. J. Hough, John Fleming, Jr., Graham H. Chapin, Hugh Jameson, William Wells, E. M. Coe, Charles F. Smith, T. P. Baldwin, L. B. Mizner, Nathan Parke, David Hudson, Jesse Clark, Jarred Willson, L. W. Ruggles, Mark H. Sibley, Alexander R. Tiffany, John Ben- ton, Hiram K. Jerome, Rodney Church, George W. Scott, Joseph Skinner, Samuel Dickinson. All of these, except the last five, qualified on the opening of the court, May 23, 1823 -the five a few months later.
Judge John S. Tallmadge had been sworn in as Judge, May 7th, before Judge Luther F. Stevens, of Seneca county, and was therefore qualified to administer the oath of office to the County Clerk elect .*
The records at Albany show the following appointments for the new county of Wayne. We add, also, a few of the more important officers through subsequent years down to the Constitution of 1846:
April 18, 1823, Governor and Senate appointed :
William Sisson, David Arne, Jonathan Boyington, Judges of the County Courts of the county of Wayne.

April 19, 1825, Jacob W. Hallett was confirmed as first Judge of the county of Wayne.
* Hugh Jameson was appointed Deputy County Clerk, May 30, 1823, and was active in organizing the business of the office. He was deputy for many years, and his work appears in all the earlier books.
Reuben H. Foster was appointed Deputy Sheriff June 21, 1823, and Sanford Sisson, August 4, 1823.
