The towns represented on and the members of the board of super- visors were, Angelica, Vial Thomas; Allen, James Wilson; Alfred, Jonathan Lanphere; Almond, Geo. Lockhart; Caneadea, Hiram Gray; Cen- terville, Alfred Forbes; Cuba, C. T. Chamberlain; Eagle, Torrey Buckley; Friendship, Sylvanus Merriman; Hume, Joshua Skiff; Pike, George Barlow; Rushford, Matthew P. Cady; Nnnda, Geo. Williams; Scio, Nathan Wright; Ossian, Nathaniel Porter; Independence, Nathaniel Covil. Sylvanus Mer- riman was made president and Amos Peabody clerk. Some of the sessions were at Maj. Van Campen's house, others at the Court House. Joseph Wil- son was sheriff and his bill including fuel was $600.94; $420 interest was voted to be paid on the $6,000 loaned to build the court house, clerk's office and improve roads. $1,000 was parcelled out among the towns for bridges. On the morning of Dec. 30, occurred the first murder (outright) in the county, that of Othello Church of Friendship by David D. How of Angelica.

1824. This year Andover village consisted of one framed building and three log houses, and its first store was opened by Asa S. Allen, the first log school house had been built in 1823. James Adams came from Vermont, with wife and two small children in a lumber wagon drawn by oxen, being 24 days on the road. The first death in Birdsall occurred, that of Leah Riggs, and Wm. Lord erected the first sawmill in that town on Black Creek. Martin and Asher Miner settled in Allen; and Joseph Wells and Roswell Streeter in Genesee. Ira Parker and Daniel Moses began improvements in the northeast part of Granger; Nathanael Covil built the first gristmill in Whitesville, and James Maxwell one at Spring Mills, the first ones in Independence. Smith Dexter and Ebenezer Parker also settled in Inde- pendence. Micah Hall came to Rushford, and John, Joseph and Matthew Engle and Oliver and Daniel Dean settled in West Almond. Pliny Evans settled in Wirt and H. B. Newton made a beginning in Bolivar. On the "third Friday in March " occurred the first execution in the county, David D. How being hung. People came from great distances to witness it. The gallows was erected on the north side of the square near the present Charles Hotel. Belfast and Andover were erected, the former taken from Canea- dea, as Orrinsburgh, the latter from Alfred.

1825. Stanley Gleason settled in Belfast, and H. B. Newton and Asa Cowles opened a store in "Root Hollow " Bolivar. Theodore Halsted came to Cuba. The first Methodist Episcopal Church in Birdsall was formed by Rev. Eleazar Dewey. Ezekiel Crandall, Riverious Hooker, Jr. and John Loop settled in Genesee in December, and James D. McKean opened the first store in Hume village. Nathaniel E. Mills opened a store at Mill's Mills, and started an ashery. The Indians would bring ashes in bags from the Reservation and exchange them for goods and trinkets. New Hudson was set off from Rushford as Haight, which name it carried until 1837, and Bolivar was taken from Friendship. The board of supervisors this year consisted of 20 members representing as many towns. The board met Nov. 15, and organized by choosing Sylvanus Merriman president and Edward Renwick

clerk. The next morning they met at the public house of Alexander D'Au- tremont, and removed Mr. Renwick and elected Matthew P. Cady clerk. A state census was taken this year and the enumerators' bills were audited by the board, calling them "marshals," their accounts ran from $5.62 to $32.50. The amount of bridge money raised was $188.16. The bounty on wolves was raised from $5 to $10. John Ayers was appointed to superin- tend repairs to the court house.

1826. Burns was set off from Ossian. Allen received quite an acces- sion to its population by the settlement of James and Samuel Willison, James, John, Robert, George and William Burthwick. A postoffice was established at Hume village with C. G. Ingham P. M. and the first public house in Burns village was opened by Simeon D. Brown. A Methodist Episcopal Church at Short Tract was organized by Elder Buell, and Emily Page taught the first school in Grove in John White's log cabin. Jared C. Hurd settled at Black Creek, New Hudson, and Simeon Brown in Ward. Ege Pierson made a beginning north of Allen Centre. Calvin T. Chamber- lain was elected president of the board of supervisors and Amos Peabody clerk. Alvin Burr was appointed treasurer. The enormous sum of $15 was voted to repair court house, jail and clerk's office. It was voted to appro- priate $25 for a stove and pipe for the court house, but it turned out to cost forty. A resolution was passed directing Nicholas Van Wickle to make maps of the county and the several towns providing the cost shall not exceed $100. The county this year paid $285 bounty on 17 old and 28 young wolves, and the state paid $225. Allen paid ten dollars bounty to Aaron Hale for one fullgrown wolf, and Cuba seemed to be especially infested with wild cats eight being killed, the killers receiving a bounty of one dollar. On August 31st at the council house on Buffalo Creek a treaty with the Seneca Indians was concluded, at which, for $48,216 they parted forever with their title to the Caneadea Reservation, and the whites were allowed to purchase and occupy this desirable territory. This was one of the most important events of this decade. The Legislature April 12th passed an act authorizing Samuel King, Asa Lee Davidson and Martin Butts to erect a dam across the Genesee river at Belfast.

1827. The first death in Ward occurred, that of Luther Powell, and the first school in Clarksville was taught by Maria McDougal. Andrew Clark settled in Allen, John Coller in Cuba, D. F. Carnahan in Friendship and John Cook and Marmaduke Aldrich in Granger. The first Genesee Seventh-day Baptist Church at Little Genesee village was organized with 14 members, by Wm. B. Maxson and John Green. Grove was erected this year, and 23 towns were represented on the board of supervisors. C. T. Chamberlain was made president and Amos Peabody clerk. Some sessions were held at the house of Hugh Magee. Alvin Burr was re-elected treasurer. The county paid $156 bounty on eleven fullgrown and eight young wolves, and the state paid $102.50 as bounties. This was the first year in which justices of the peace were elected. Governor Clinton recommended "the survey of

a route for a canal, to unite the Erie canal at Rochester with the Allegany river." And so among the intelligent and discerning the hope of improved methods of transporting the products of farm and forest to the seaboard markets was kindled, and people began to take courage.

1828. Isaac N. Town opened the first store in Canaseraga, and the first inn in Clarksville was kept by Daniel S. Carpenter. Allen received quite a start in the settlement of Henry Burt, Thomas Cole, Robert K. King, Jared Atwater, Uriah Cook, Solomon Woodworth, Austin Mundy and Henry Laight. Elias Hull opened the first public house in Birdsall and Joseph B. Welch the first store. Elias Scott settled in Bolivar, David S. German in Cuba, Rowland Coon, Dea. George Potter, and Daniel and John Edwards began operations in Genesee. The first religious services in Clarksville were held at the house of Nelson Hoyt, by the Methodists. The first settle- ment at Wiscoy, in Hume, was made by Lawrence Wilkes, a blacksmith, and a sawmill was built by Ebenezer Mix of Batavia. This year came to Inde- pendence, Lewis B. Fitch, to New Hudson Benjamin Whipple, to Willing John Graves, and John Scott to Wirt. The board of supervisors was organ- ized by electing C. T. Chamberlain chairman and Nicholas Van Wickle clerk. Some of the sessions were held at Hugh Magee's house. Alvin Burr was again elected treasurer. The president by vote was directed to sign a memorial for toll bridge across the Genesee at Belvidere. The court house debt still remained unpaid, and $420 was voted to be paid as interest thereon. $100 was voted to repair court house, clerk's office and jail, and $10 appro- priated to pay for a county seal. 13 fullgrown wolves and one whelp were reported, for which the county paid $67.50 and the state $62.50. The need of a county almshouse began to be apparent and was shown by this resolu- tion passed by the board: "Resolved that the president sign the petition in behalf of this board to the Legislature, praying for the passage of a law authorizing the supervisors of the county of Allegany to loan money and build a poorhouse, and that James Wilson, Jesse Bullock, William Hicks, Asa S. Allen and Lazarus S. Rathbon be a committee to superintend the same." This year a survey was made of a canal route from Rochester to Olean.

1829. The First Baptist Church of Andover was organized with twelve members. Stephen Wilson settled in Belfast and Jeremiah Beebe in Cuba. Elliott Smith and Ebenezer D. Bliss began improvements in Genesee, and Abram Lampman and Salmon Remington came to Granger, and Henry Torry opened a public house at Mixville as Wiscoy had come to be called. Nelson P. Coats settled in Independence, Asa Parks in Willing, and John Scott in Wirt, and many improvements were observed in all sections.

1830. Amity and Genesee were erected, Amity from Angelica, and Genesee from Cuba. Orrin Kingsley and Isaac Wheeler opened a store at Mixville and Dr. Keyes settled there, its first physician. Nelson McCall established a store at Black Creek corners New Hudson. Jeremiah Burdick and Leonard Daniels settled in Bolivar, and Samuel S. Ayers in Cuba. 26

towns were represented on the board of supervisors. Clark Crandall was elected chairman, and L. Rathbon clerk. Alvin Burr was again elected treasurer. Before this but five committees had been appointed and those mostly special. Now it was "resolved that the chair appoint all committees considered necessary to transact the business of the board." Among the rules adopted was this, " Art. 3. No spirituous liquors shall be brought or drank in the room while the Board are in session, nor smoking (allowed) in the same during the session." The committee on equalization reported as follows: Alfred and Allen $1.65, Almond $1.75, Amity and Birdsall $1.35, Andover and Scio $1.03, Angelica $2.50, Belfast $1.56, Bolivar, Genesee and Independ- ence $1.06, Burns and Friendship $1.55, Caneadea and Rushford $1.60, Cen- terville and Hume $1.70, Cuba and Grove $1.50, Eagle $1.45, Haight $1.40, Nunda $2.70, Ossian $1.70, Portage $2.85, Pike $3.45. Some dissatisfaction in regard to the report being expressed the subject was reopened and Amity, Friendship and Hume were raised each 15c. on the acre, Centerville 10c. and Rushford 5c. A resolution was passed to raise $500 for a bridge near Church's, and $300 for one near the Transit, or, if committee considered it advisable, to appropriate the whole $800 to build a bridge between the two places. Richard Charles was appointed physician to the jail.

Mr. Hull, of Birdsall, from the committee on poorhouse, suggested abol- ishing all distinction between town and county poor, recommended the ap- pointment of superintendents of the poor; that they be authorized and instructed to purchase a farm not exceeding 200 acres, and commence erect- ing buldings for the poor, and to loan money not to exceed $3,000. The report was accepted, resolutions passed and Messrs: Van Nostrand, Hull, Lockhart, Gordon and Merrick were appointed to make nominations for superintendents. S. S. Haight, Angelica; Lorenzo Dana, Friendship; An- drew C. Hull, Birdsall; Stephen Major, Almond and Wm. P. Wilcox, Nunda, were nominated and elected the first county superintendents of the poor in Allegany. A new bell was ordered for the court house at $100. S. S. Haight was appointed to attend a meeting of the Bath and Lake Erie Turnpike Com- pany. The sheriff's account for the year was $525. "Expenses for county purposes, $1,475.75, Wolf Bounties $467.50, Bridge Money $1,000, Paid on Court House debt $2,315." One panther, 23 wolves and 18 whelps were accounted for.

This decade was distinguished for rapid increase in population, and the large number of new towns erected. The board of supervisors was fast assum- ing the proportions and dignity of a real legislative body. School-houses and churches were being erected, and a general appearance of thrift and enter- prise was plainly observable. An enumeration of the inhabitants was made by United States marshals and the population found to be 26,276. By an act of the Legislature passed April 17th, a "Survey of a canal route from Rochester to the Allegany river " was directed. It is not learned that the survey was made.

FOURTH DECADE .- 1831-1840.

CHAPTER XVII.

FOURTH DECADE .- 1831-1840.

IN 1831 the first gristmill in Granger was erected by Luzon and Lewis Van Nostrand. By actof Legislatureof February 19, a part of Can- eadea was annexed to Belfast, making the township lines of the Holland Land Company the town line. April 21, a bill passed the Legislature making pro- vision for a bridge across the Genesee river near the mouth of Caneadea creek, and naming David Hitchcock, Timothy Rice, and Arad H. Franklin commissioners to superintend its building, their compensation to be "$1 per day." April 26, a bill was passed appointing Nathan Rumsey, Henry C. Jones and James Sprague commissioners to lay "a public highway, or so alter the present ones as to make one continuous road from the village of Angelica in the county of Allegany, on the best and most practicable ground and shortest distance, to the village of Batavia in the county of Genesee." The first Methodist Episcopal Church of Whitesville was organized with about 25 members by Rev. J. D. McKenney. Orlin Marsh settled in New Hudson, and Henry Hagadorn and Lot. Harris in Willing. The board of supervisors organized by electing James Wilson chairman and Nicholas Van Wickle clerk.

In 1830 $200 was raised to purchase the right of Geo. Williams and others, to a bridge at Portageville, and Geo. Williams and his associates re- fused to accept of any consideration, but were willing to give it to the public, so the $200 was directed " to be laid out on such bridge, as might be directed by the town of Portage upon Williams and others assigning the right to the public." $2,885.31 was raised to discharge the debt incurred for the con- struction of court house, clerk's office and repair and improvement of roads. A resolution was passed appropriating $2,500 to defray expense of building poor house. $1,200 was appropriated for extraordinary expenses. James Wilson was directed to employ counsel to defend a suit brought by Philip Church against the county. It was ordered that the county treasurer give bonds in the sum of $10,000.

We give the towns and their population in 1830, and the amount of school money assigned to it for this year. Alfred, 1.416 pop., $73.77; Allen, 898 pop., $46.78; Almond, 1,804 pop., $93.98; Amity, 872 pop., 845.43; Andover, 598 pop., $31.16; Angelica, 998 pop., $51.99; Belfast, 743 pop., $38.71; Birdsall, 543 pop., $28.29; Bolivar, 449 pop., $23.39; Burns, 702 pop., $36.57; Caneadea, 782 pop., $40.74; Centerville, 1,195 pop., 862.27; Cuba, 1,059 pop., 855.17; Eagle, 892 pop., $46.47; Friendship, 1,502 pop., $78.25; Genesee, 219 pop .. $11.41; Grove, 1,388 pop., $72,31; Haight, 655 pop., $34.13; Hume, 951 pop., $49.55; Independence, 877 pop., $45.70; Nunda, 1,291 pop., $67.26; Ossian, 812 pop., $42.31; Pike, 2,016 pop., $105.03; Portage, 1,839 pop., 895.81; Rushford,

HISTORY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY, N. Y.

1,115 pop., $58.09; Scio, 602 pop., $31,37. Andrew C. Hull, Samuel S. Haight, Moses Smith, Amos Burdick, Jr., and James Wilson were elected superin- tendents of poor. $6 was appropriated to purchase a desk for the surrogate, and Peter Cherry was appointed to do the necessary printing.

1832. But little legislation directly affecting Allegany was passed. April 20, the Legislature passed an act authorizing Harvey H. May to erect a dam across the Genesee river in Amity. The old Lake Erie Turnpike hav- ing become an undesirable thing with its tollgates exacting fare from every passer-by, its demoralized management ignoring the conditions of its franchise, a bill was passed April 25th declaring thirty miles of the east end of it a public highway. Henry Winn settled in Willing and Benjamin Van Fleet in New Hudson. The first Baptist Church in Richburg was organized by Rev. Eliab Bowen, and the first store in West Almond was opened by Samuel M. Eddy. No new towns were formed this year, neither is it re- corded that any first settlement of towns were made. There was however quite an influx of immigration, and the old settlements were considerably en- larged. The older farms were putting on the appearance of the eastern towns from whence our pioneers emigrated and things began to look com- fortable and wear a home-like appearance.

The board of supervisors met November 13th and organized by electing Wm. Welch chairman and Sam'l Van Wickle clerk. The first business done was to appoint John Simons, Tarbell Gordon and David Stillman a committee to make arrangements for board, etc. They soon reported that Daniel McHenry would board and lodge them at the rate of $2 per week, keep a horse for 62}c. per week, and would keep up fires and furnish candles in addition to board and lodging at 75c. per day all told. The board adopted the report and availed themselves of the terms offered.

Under an act of the Legislature the board of supervisors and the judges of the county, five in number, elected by joint ballot the county superin- tendents of the poor. They elected James Wilson, Moses Smith, Jonas Wellman and Samuel S. Haight. Asa S. Allen was elected treasurer and Patrick Gregg physician to the poorhouse. On motion of Jesse Angel of Almond it was "Resolved that the county of Allegany and the several towns interested in that part of the Bath and Lake Erie Turnpike lying between the western termination thereof and the house of Jesse B. Gibbs in Almond release and forever quit claim the same as a public highway." And the old turnpike became a common road. A petition to the Legislature was signed asking for the passage of a law requiring the supervisors, town clerks and justices of the peace to audit town accounts on the Friday next succeeding election. Benj. F. Smead's bill for printing in 1831 was allowed at $19. Jesse Bullock's account as sheriff was $765.22. The county paid for 14 grown wolves and ten whelps $190, and the state paid $95. First formal annual report from the county treasurer.

Capitalists had begun to visit the county with an eye to investments, and some of our people had prospered to an extent which naturally called

attention to the assessment rolls to learn if possible the extent of their accumulations. The tax rolls however gave but little intimation of aggrega- tions of wealth, and the matter came to be the subject of talk and discussion. So the board at this session resolved that the clerk and assistant clerk direct a circular letter to the several town clerks in regard to the assessment of personal property. Luther Couch a justice of the peace of Hume was allowed $4.75 on skunk certificates. Luther C. Peck and George Miles were retained by thé county to defend a suit brought by Philip Church.

1833. April 15th West Almond was formed from parts of Angelica, Almond and Alfred, and the first sawmill was erected there. Settlement was begun in Alma by Warren Hough and - Longcore. Albert B. Crandall commenced operations in Genesee, teaching a school the next winter and chopping by moonlight. Henry C. Champlin settled on Dodge Creek, Gene- see. The Erie canal had changed the direction of shipment of the surplus crops from the Susquehanna route to the seaboard via Bath and Hornellsville to the more feasible and shorter Genesee river route northward where the canal gave the settlers better markets at the new cities of Buffalo and Rochester, and they became anxious for a lateral canal connecting with the Erie to furnish easier transportation for their surplus grain and the wealth of their forests. A meeting at Geneseo in 1825, held under a call signed by Philip Church, Daniel H. Fitzhugh, Wm. H. Spencer, Ira West, Jonathan Child and Heman Norton, was the first step in an organization which secured favorable legislation for "a canal from Rochester along the valley of the Genesee and Canaseraga and of a canal from Genesee river to some point on the Allegany river." Only two or three bridges as yet spanned the Genesee. Canoes, skiffs and rafts were extensively used, while, in low water, the many shallows afforded good places for fording.

1834. The Third Seventh-day Baptist Church in Genesee was organized with 12 members, and in Independence the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church was organized by Rev. Stillman Coon with 40 members. Charles Rogers and Enos Gifford settled in Willing. Heeding the importunities of the people along the Genesee Valley the Legislature passed an act authorizing a survey of a route for a canal to connect the Erie canal and the Allegany river, and the survey was made under the direction of J. C. Mills. Only the part relating to town and county audits can be found of the proceedings of the board of supervisors for this year. The poorhouse had been completed and was furnishing food and shelter for 92 inmates. 10 wolves and 27 whelps were paid for this year the sum being $235. The state also paid $89.50. This year James Pinkerton of Caneadea killed an old wolf and 11 young ones. April 30th an act passed the Legislature authorizing and directing the survey of a canal route from Rochester to Olean, and May 1st another directing the survey of a road from Hammondsport to Angelica.

1835. The Third Baptist Church of Cuba with 22 members was organ- ized by Rev. Mr. Tuttle, also the first Baptist Church in Hume with 22 members by Elders James Reed, J. C. Sangster and A. Miner. The Bap-

tists of West Almond also organized with 88 members, with Rev. J. P. Evans as first pastor. Jacob Truax settled in Willing. 27 towns were represented upon the board. Josiah Utter was chosen chairman and S. C. Wilson clerk. The state paid $67.50 for ten grown wolves and seven whelps. Lindsley Jos- lyn, Richard Charles, Matthew P. Cady, Jesse Angel and Ezra Smith were elected county superintendents of the poor. The board resolved to raise $500 toward a bridge at Buttsville (Belfast). The most disastrous flood in the Genesee river and some of its tributuaries occurred this year. Old settlers speak of it as the " great flood," and it has since been used as a time marker. The water reached its greatest height October 19th it having rained hard for two or three days. Large quantities of corn were destroyed. Not a bridge was left upon the Genesee river from Rochester to Pennsylvania. Fences, houses, barns, mills and dams were taken away and much loss and great inconvenience followed. Calvin T. Chamberlain was elected member of the Assembly. Clarksville was set off from Cuba, and an act was passed incorporating the village of Angelica.

1836. A select school started in Alfred by Bethuel Church, the begin- ning of Alfred University. The first white child born in Alma, Emeline Hurlbutt. John Whiting made the first settlement in Fillmore. Baptists' first house of worship in Hume erected, and first school taught in Willing by Betsey Lovell. The board of supervisors consisted of 28 members and organized with Josiah Utter chairman and T. I. Lyon clerk. Richard Charles, Elias Hull and Ezra Smith, elected superintendents of the poor. Charles D. Robinson appointed physician to the jail. Asa S. Allen resigned the office of county treasurer, accepted. The judge and supervisors elected Andrew C. Hull county treasurer; Thomas Smith "sealer." State paid for seven wolves $35 and the county for six $30. The bill of George Miles dis- trict attorney was $466.08. Sheriff Moses Smith's bill was $1.008.32 and the superintendents of the poor drew $2,256. The Church lawsuit was still on and a bill of $125 for fees of Azor Tabor and M. T. Reynolds was allowed, as assistant counsel. Allegany was entitled to elect two members of the As- sembly, and C. T. Chamberlain was re-elected and Azel Fitch elected. May 12th an act was passed to incorporate Angelica academy. May 13th a bill was passed authorizing the supervisors of the counties embracing the Hol- land Purchase to obtain from the Holland Company, and have the various county clerks record or file, " such field-notes, maps, books and other statis- tical information " as they should decide to ask for and " the local agents consent to furnish." A good move. Was ever anything down about it?
