At the old "Downing church" Elders Abel Brown and Leland, ministers of the Baptist denomination, fre- quently preached. The latter was quite eccentric in his ways. It is told of him that he once, when over eighty years of age, prefaced his sermon by quoting the familiar lines,-
"You'd scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stage," ete.
David Wager, of Ghent, and three men of the name of Soules, were local preachers, and often officiated at the meetings.
A very extensive revival occurred under the preaching of Rev. Elbert Osborn in 1831 or 1832, and another in 1845, under the ministry of Rev. Adee Vail. The present number of communicants is eighty, and the following are the present officers, viz : George W. Downing, Davis Dis-

HILLSDALE LODGE, NO. 612 F. AND A. M.
The first Masonic society in Hillsdale antedates the century, though the exact date of its organization is not now known. It was called Mount Vernon Lodge, and flourished until the anti-Mason excitement swept over the country, when it was wrecked by that storm. Prominent among its members were John B. Sharts, Samuel Judson, Artemus Johnson, John Collin, Joel Blackman, David Persons, Thaddeus Reed, John Pixley, and James Bryan. Several years afterward another lodge was instituted, known as Friendship Lodge, No. 125. It was chartered with seven members, and the first officers were David G. Woodin, Master; Samuel Judson, S. W .; Jefferson B. Bingham, J. W. ; James W. White, Sec. ; Alfred G. Bid- well, Treas. ; Philip Becker, S. D .; John P. Sharts, J. D.
Henry A. Collin was the first initiate, and among the other prominent members were Richard H. Bartlett, Allen Sweet, John Miller, and Frelin Van Deusen. The Mas- ters were Philip Becker, Henry A. Collin, William Elton. The lodge met in Hillsdale for some time, and flour- 13*

ished to a marked degree ; then the place of meeting was changed to Copake for two or three years, and returning again to Hillsdale, it flourished for a time, and in 1858 surrendered its charter.
The present lodge was instituted in 1867, but had been working under a dispensation for some months previous. The first officers were Philip Becker, M. ; David C. Baird, S. W. ; Martin J. Wagner, J. W .; Eliphalet Dimmick, Sec. ; John B. Sharts, Treas. ; Samuel Judson, S. D. ; Wal- ter Shaver, J. D.
The Masters who have passed the chair are Philip Becker, Philip Becker, Jr., George M. Bullock, and Char- les M. Bell. The present officers are Platt Rogers, M .; Theodore P. Melins, S. W. ; Gilbert A. Deane, J. W .; Grosvenor A. Knox, Tres. ; Jacob L. Spade, Sec. ; George M. Bullock, S. D. ; Latting Bixby, J. D. ; David Brusie, S. M. C. ; William Atkinson, J. M. C .; William Coons, Chap. ; Ezra J. Beardsley, Tyler ; H. G. Westlake, F. Van Deusen, Charles M. Bell, Trustees.
The lodge has fitted up the hall at an expense of sev- eral hundred dollars, meets regularly twice each month, and is in a prosperous condition, with a membership of ninty-six.
The places of historic interest in Hillsdale are not nu- merous. The southwestern part of the town was in early times called "Nobletown," and apparently received its name from one Robert Noble, who was a leader of the anti-renters during the troubles in the middle of the last century. Where he lived cannot now be ascertained. There was a gore of land in the south part of the town which was in dispute between Van Rensselaer and Liv- ingston, but a line was finely agreed upon between them. In 1791, Sheriff Hogeboom, while on his return from serving some processes in this section, was assailed by a band of disguised men, and was killed by a musket ball. The scene of this tradedy was near the town line of Clay-

erack, in the Jordan neighborhood. The surrounding hills here huddle together and open out into a broad vale looking to the westward and extending for some miles into the town of Claverack. No one was convicted of the crime, but one Jonathan Arnold suspected, fled, was ar- rested, tried, and acquitted. On the trial it was proven that he had loaded his gun with a ball, while the others were loaded with blank cartridges.
During the War of 1812 a large number of men were drafted or enlisted from this town, but no record of their names has been preserved.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HON. JOHN F. COLLIN,
the subject of this biographical notice, was born in Hills- dale, Columbia Co., in a house which stood on the site of his present residence, on the 30th of April, 1802. Paul Collin, a French Huguenot, married Judith Vallean, and emigrated from France, settling at Narraganset, Rhode Island, in 1686. He was the original ancestor of the Col- lin family in this country. He had a son, John, born in Rhode Island, who, about 1730, was employed by John Merwin of Milford Conn., to command a vessel called the "Swan," engaged in the West India trade. Subseqently, while in command of that vessel, he married Hannah, daughter of John Merwin, the proprietor. He was lost, with his vessel, at sea in 1746, leaving two sons, John and David Collin, the former the grandfather of the subject of this biography. He married Sarah Arnold, and settled in Dutchess Co., N. Y., whence he subsequently removed to Hillsdale, Columbia Co. His oldest son, Antony Col- lin, was made a prisoner in the War of the Revolution, and died on board the prison-ship at New York, in 1777. John Collin died in 1809, leaving a son, John, and daugh-

ter, Hannah, the former being the father of John Francis Collin. He (John Collin) was born in Amenia, Dutchess Co., Sept. 16, 1772, and died in Hillsdale, in December, 1833. He married Ruth Holman Johnson, Oct. 23, 1798, was by occupation a farmer, and reared a a family of seven children, who survived him.
John Francis, the second son, was reared on the home- stead, and bred to the occupation of his father. Being of a studious turn of mind, he pursued his education chiefly at home, adding to the advantages of the common schools a thorough course of self-culture, embracing the branches usually taught in academies. He has followed the habits of study thus early begun all his life, and has a firm con- viction of the truth of the adage that a man is never too old to learn something useful. He is well informed in classical and general literature, and has an accurate knowledge of history, especially that relating to his own country.
In politics he has always been a Democrat, and has been called to fill several important positions of responsi- bility and trust in his town and county. Besides holding many of the minor town offices, he was a member of the board of supervisors for many years, a member of the Legislature in 1834, and a representative in the Twenty- ninth Congress, from 1845 to 1847.
In local affairs his life has been an active one, being employed in many cases as an arbitrator and in the set- tlement of many estates, his sound judgment and practi- cal knowledge eminently qualifying him for such duties. He is a man of more than ordinary intellectual capacity, strict integrity and uprightness of character, and is liberal in the distribution of his means for the promotion of all worthy objects.
In 1827 he was married to Miss Pamelia Jane Tullar, of Egremont, Mass., by whom he had four children, all of whom are living. She died in 1870. In 1871 he married
105
HILLSDALE HISTORY.
for his second wife Miss Jane Becker, of Hillsdale, and by this marriage has one child, Frank B. Collin. His eldest son, John F. Collin, is a farmer, residing with his father. Quincy J. Collin is a clergyman, residing at Santa Clara, Cal. The elder daughter, Pamelia Lorania, married Rev. John Bradin, who resides in Nashville, Tenn. Frances Amelia married Sylvester Barbour, Esq., an attorney-at- law, residing in Hartford, Conn.
ELISHA W. BUSHNELL
was born in the town of Hillsdale, Columbia Co., N. Y., Dec. 27, 1818. His grandfather, George Bushnell, was born in Saybrook, Conn., whence he emigrated to Hills- dale at the age of eighteen, and settled on the adjoining farm west of the present Bushnell homestead. He had six children, among whom was John Bushnell, the second son, who was the father of Elisha W. Bushnell, whose name stands at the head of this article.
John Bushnell was born on the farm where his father first settled, Sept. 26, 1789 ; married Sept. 1810, to Loxea Lay, of Westbrook, Conn. ; was a farmer by occupation, a man of energy and enterprise, and highly esteemed for his excellent character. He had ten children, all of whom reached maturity, and six of whom are now living.
Elish W. is the fifth child of John Bushnell. He was brought up on the farm, and educated in his boyhood at the common schools. In the fall of 1839 he settled on the place he now occupies, afterwards purchasing the in- terest of his brother George. On the 18th of September, 1840, he was married to Emma, daughter of Dr. Benjamin House, of Hillsdale.
Originally a Whig in politics, he became a Republican on the formation of the latter party. In 1854 he was elected to the Legislature, and served the succeeding term with credit.

HILLSDALE HISTORY.
Mr. Bushnell has been a thoroughgoing and enterpris- ing farmer. He has not only surrounded himself and family with the conveniences and comforts of a most de- sirable home, but has acquired a competence of this world's goods, and has been liberal in the use of his means for the higher aims and objects of life.
Mr. and Mrs. Bushnell have had five children, only two of whom are living, viz. : Sarah E., wife of Mr. A. F. Park, of Otsego county, farmer, now residing in Hillsdale ; and George V. Bushnell, a graduate of Yale College in 1874, and since then engaged chiefly in teaching as an occupa- tion.
Mr. Bushnell has been an active member of the Colum- bia County Agricultural Society since 1842, and held the office of president of the same from 1850 to 1855.
CHAPTER XXII.
RESIDENTS OF HILLSDALE, FROM LAWRENCE & CO.'S COUNTY DIRECTORY, 1880-81.
List of Residents of Hillsdale, as published in the Columbia County Directory of 1880-81, giving their occupation and Post Office Address.
Hillsdale was formed from Claverack as a district March 26, 1782 ; recognized as a town March 7, 1788, and a part of Austerlitz was taken off in 1818. The surface is broken by ranges of high hills extending in a northerly and southerly direction and separated by narrow valleys. Green River crosses the north-east corner, and several small streams, which form the headwaters of Roeliff Jan- sen's and Claverack Creeks, take their rise in the town. The soil is a gravelly loam and clay. The town was set- tled at a very early day, the southerly part by immigrants from Massachusetts and the northerly by Dutch settlers. The first church (Baptist) was organized June 23, 1787, and Rev. Stephen Gano, D. D., was the first pastor. There are three Post Offices in the town, viz. : Hillsdale, Harlemville, and Green River.
