INDEPENDENCE.

CHAPTER LIII.

BY S. S. WHITE.

NDEPENDENCE was formed from Alfred, March 16, 1821. Andover was taken off Jan. 28, 1824, and a part of Willing, Nov. 19, 1851. The town lies in the southeast corner of the county in the Phelps & Gorham purchase, and contains about 21,572 acres. The surface is a mountainous upland, broken by deep, narrow valleys. The highest summits are 800 to 1,200 feet above the valleys. It is drained by Cryder Creek in the south, and Che- nunda Creek in the north part, and is abundantly watered by numerous springs. The soil is principally a gravelly loam with sections of sand. The people are mostly engaged in farming. Dairying is carried on quite extensively. Large quantities of potatoes are raised and shipped to market annually. The population in 1892 was 1,203, a gain of four since 1860. The first town meeting was held April 10, 1821, at the house of Luther Strong. The first town officers were. Supervisor, Luther Strong; town clerk, Joseph Clark; assessors, Simeon Adams, Luther Green, Nathaniel Covell; highway commissioners, Isaac Stanbro, Timothy Younglove, Samuel S. White; collector, Alfred Holmes; overseers of the poor, Thaddeus Baker, Shubael Spicer; constables, Alvin Holmes, Roswell Adams, Joseph Pixley; school commissioners, William W. Reynolds, Isaiah W. Green, Amherst Kingsbury; school inspectors, Willett Larrabee, Edmund Perry, Amherst Kingsbury.

John Cryder was the first " squatter " but did not become a permanent settler. He located on what is known as Cryder Creek in 1798, built a house, and a sawmill and cleared and cultivated some land. The second settler, first actual settler according to tradition, history, etc., was Oliver Babcock, who "took up " his land in the north part of the town in 1818 and remained here several years. The third settler was John Teater and sons, John and Peter from Dutchess county. On their way they stopped for a time on the east shore of Cayuga lake, then located in Alfred, and in 1819 came to Inde- pendence where Mr. Teater was made a local land agent. He was enter- prising and in a few years had taken for his own use 400 acres of land, in a body, on the hills north of Cryder Creek. His son John settled within the limits of Whitesville, and lived there until his death, his sons, Peter and Andrew, live in town. Peter settled on the hills.

The first framed dwelling was built by Isaiah Green in the north part, and Luther Green is said to have been the first postmaster. The first framed building was a barn built by David Wilson in the summer of 1821, and here Mary Wilson taught the first school. David Wilson also built the

598

HISTORY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY, N. Y.

first blacksmith shop (a log one), the first summer after he came here and David Wilson, Jr., was the pioneer blacksmith. He had no anvil and borrowed one of a Mr. Burdick of Andover, also a pair of tongs which he kept till late in the fall, when Robert and David Wilson returned to Massachusetts for the winter, and in the spring brought an anvil back with them. Some years later they put up a " still " which they run for several years. Wm. Reynolds and Col. Wm. W. Reynolds, his son, built a tannery on their farm in the south part of the town in 1824, and later added a shoeshop. Colonel Rey- nolds was the first settler south of Cryder Creek. Some authorities claim this to be the first tannery in the town, while others claim that Beriah and Almon Crandall built the first one on lot 81 in 1822.

The first store was kept by Josiah W. Green in 1822 at Green's Corners, now called Independence. The first schoolhouse, a log structure, was built on lot 50, on lands now owned by Paul M. Burdick, in the fall of 1823, and the first school in a regular schoolhouse was taught here in the summer of 1824 by Miss Deborah Covil with seven pupils. The first permanent saw- mill was built at Whitesville by Nathaniel Covil and Tower Stetson in the spring of 1820, which Covil run till the spring of 1828, when he took as partner, Avery Rice, who had a carding-machine, which they put in the mill. Mr. Covil commenced the erection of a gristmill at Whitesville in the summer of 1824, completed it early in the fall. James Maxwell built one at Spring Mills about the same time but got his in operation first, if so this was the first gristmill in town. However authorities differ as to the date of its erection, it being ascribed to each of the years from 1820 to 1823. The first birth was that of Dugald C. White, son of Samuel White, October 23, 1819. (See White family). The first female child born was Eliza Ann, daughter of Stephen Boyce, April 15, 1821. She resides in town.

It was reported that the land agent had promised 100 acres of land to the first married couple, and they were privately married before morning as they understood another couple were to be married the next afternoon. The first death was that of Samuel W. Goodridge, Jan. 27, 1822. The first religious service was held at the house of Samuel S. White, Jan. 1, 1820, by Rev. Daniel Babcock, a Seventh Day Baptist. The first hotel at Whitesville was built by Mr. White in 1826, and his was the first framed dwelling house there.

The New York and Pennsylvania railroad, an extension of the O. O. & E. R. R. of Pennsylvania, enters Independence near the southwest corner of the town and follows up the valley of Cryder Creek through Whitesville leaving the town at the eastern boundary near Rexville in Steuben county. Several of the citizens of the town are largely interested in this great im- provement which was opened for traffic in 1895. There are four railroad stations in the town, White's, Goodridge, Whitesville, Wildman's Mill.
