HISTORY OF REMSEN
Louise, Helen and William. He removed to St. Johns, Mich., about 1853.
JOHN HICKS, brother of William and Thomas Hicks, all of whom were very early residents of Remsen and Trenton, kept the toll-gate at the upper end of the village, near the old covered bridge, for a time after the construction of the plank road. He was the father of John Hicks, a popular stage-driver of long ago, and also of the late Thomas Hicks, of Boonville.
ALEXANDER PIRNIE, the fifth child of Alexander and Christina Pirnie, was born in Cirgil, Perthshire, Scotland, March 25, 1824. He attended the parish schools both summers and winters until he was four- teen years of age, and then winters until he was twenty- one. He learned of his father the stone- cutting trade, which he followed during his stay in Scotland. The sandstone quarries of Cirgill, on the river Tay, rented of Lord Willoughby, had been worked by the Pirnie family continuously for a period of five hundred years. Mr. Pirnie sailed from Liverpool in 1848, landing in New York in May, and shortly made his way to North Western, where he was engaged for eighteen months in cutting stone for the locks of the Black River canal. He then superintended the construction of a bridge across James river, at Richmond, Va., and subse- quently engaged in railroad, canal, and other contract work. During the civil war he served in the 185th Regiment, New York Volunteers. He married first, in September, 1852, Mary McClellan, of Richland, Oswego county, who died in 1857, and for his second wife, Jane McClellan, her sister.
