Isaac Lobdell, Sr., sold these mills to Isaac Lobdell, Jr. Then they were sold to John Winegard and Silas B. Martin, then to Josiah and Peter Winegard, then to Edmund Adkins, then to Weaver and Vincent, and lastly to the present owners, Jacob Burgher & Son. The old mill of Lobdell was taken away by a freshet, and was on the opposite side of the creek from the present mills.

At South Westerlo formerly were a tannery and asheries belonging to the Smiths, who afterward erected a grist-mill, which was built by Asher Morse. These mills passed through the ownership of several persons, and are now operated by D. M. Wooster, the owner. Here are located the mills of W. D. Calder & Son, for the manufacture of flan- nels, cassimeres, satinets and yarn. These mills are located on the Basic Creek.

Near Dormansville, on the Haanakrois Creek, are the grist, saw and plaster mills of William A. Dickson & Son.

Saw-mills are numerous. Darius Lockwood, on the Wolf Creek ; Samuel Snyder, on Eight-Mile Creek, and Henry A. Ford, on Basic Creek, built in 1870.

About 1812 Jenks had a carding mill on the Basic Creek below Chesterville, which was destroy- ed by fire, and another put up by George Wiltsey, which was operated by Drum & Possom ; they were converted into a turning shop, and then into a grist-mill, remains of which yet exist.

Quarries of blue stone, for flagging, are operated to a considerable extent in the northwest part of the township.

THE TOWNSHIP OF WESTERLO.

Several persons are engaged in bee-culture. This industry is receiving considerable attention; but like many other branches connected with modern ex- periments, skill and scientific knowledge, combined with practical experience, will be required to make the business a success, for there are many causes of failure which call for investigation and study.

The town is assessed for 35, 568 acres of land, and the assessed valuation for the year 1884 is : Real, $1,222.550; personal, $71,550 ; total, $1,298, 100 ; and equalized : real, $1,237,809 ; personal, $71,550 ; total, $1, 336, 208.

CHURCHES.

There are five evangelical churches and organ- ized societies in the township, divided as follows: two Methodist, one Reformed, one Baptist and one Christian ; and formerly a Friend's meeting house.

The first organization of religious societies oc- curred in the township of Rensselaerville as early as 1793, but no churches were erected until 1790 west of Albany city, and in 1796 the first church was built in Rensselaerville. It is a singular fact that the first organizations of the several religious societies in the townships took place from 1790 to 1800.

After the Revolutionary war closed and peace with its blessings began to be realized, immigrants came and acquired farms in what was Rensselaer- ville township. All the land was included in the Van Rensselaer patent, and at that time the terms and conditions were considered favorable and just to the tenants, which were readily accepted by them, as their means were limited and they could obtain possession of these farms without money by simply complying with the terms offered by the patroon.

These early settlers were people who came from the New England States, and from adjoining coun- ties on the river, and were descendants of English or Scotch families. A few were German and others of the French Huguenots, who came with the Hol- landers. Each of these nationalities were imbued with the religious teaching and training of their youth, and in establishing their churches, they adhered to the tenets, doctrines and government of their early education. Being strong in their convictions-yet with charity for all-they were emulous for prompt action, and with united pur- pose they organized with confidence of success, and the past well proves that their efforts have been a means of elevating the moral tone of society and advancing the spiritual prosperity of the people.

The Methodist Episcopal Church at Dormansville was organized as early as 1826, the people worship- ing in private houses, and in the old square school- house, which is the oldest building in the neighbor- hood. The present church edifice was erected in 1840-41, and dedicated by Rev. Mr. Hedstrom. S. Wright and Turner have been pastors. The present trustees are William Stuart, William Dick- inson, J. W. Gale, J. G. Ward and John Gibbons. The present pastor is John W. Morrison. The so-

ciety numbers 110 communicants, 100 Sabbath school scholars, and amount contributed for all purposes, $600. The church is a frame building; sheds are attached, and the parsonage is conven- iently accessible.

At Lamb's Corners is a Methodist Church, des- ignated as " Olin Chapel," in honor of Dr. Stephen Olin. About 80 years ago a class was formed here, led by Thomas Smith and Alexander Lamb, at whose house meetings were held; this house is now occupied by his son, Francis A. Lamb. Meet- ings were also held in the school-house until the house of worship was erected in 1853, when the following members were elected trustees: Alexan- der Lamb, Amos Fish and Ludlow St. John. The present trustees are F. A. Lamb, Edwin St. John and W. A. St. John. The church is a frame building, and will seat 200. The society reports 23 members, 50 Sunday-school scholars; contribu- tions for all purposes, $125. The present pastor is Rev. O. D. Ramsay, who resides at Greenville.

*THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WESTERLO .- The church society was organized on the 26th day of May, 1800, in what was then the town of Rensselaerville (now Westerlo), which at that time was an almost unbroken wilderness. The follow- ing are the names of the original members: Roswell Beckwith, Aaron Baker, Isaac Winston, Isaac Lobdell, Thomas Martin, Benjamin Martin, James Slade, Sarah Winston, Miriam Lobdell, Cynthia Baker, Lois Slade, Judith Stanton, Elea- nor Martyn, Mary Spaulding and Lydia Mallison.

On the day mentioned they met at the house of Isaac Winston, and by the aid of Elder Josiah Mor- ris, of Rensselaerville, were constituted a regular Baptist Church. The day after its organization four candidates were received and baptized into its fellowship.

They worshiped in private dwellings, school- houses, barns and groves until the erection of their meeting-house in the village of Chesterville. On the 11th day of January, 1820, the First Baptist Society of the township of Westerlo met in the school-house near Zina W. Lay's, for the purpose of electing officers to manage the affairs of said so- ciety, and likewise to become a " body corporate" by the name of "The First Baptist Society," in the town of Westerlo. Deacon William Bentley and James Slade were elected presiding officers, and the following persons were elected trustees, viz. : Sylvester Ford, James Jaycox, William Bentley, James Slade, Isaac Lobdell, Jr., Knight Bennett. The presiding officers, on the 31st day of January, certified to the charter before James Sackett, Com- missioner, and caused the same to be recorded in the clerk's office of the City and County of Albany, in the book of church patents, the 22d of Febru- ary, 1820.

The deed for the site of their first church edifice was given by George Pinney, of said township, and covered thirty-five one-hundredths of an acre, being part of lot No. 238, for which they were to pay fifty dollars ($50), and they were also to pay, or cause

to be paid, yearly and every year hereafter " unto Stephen Van Rensselaer, proprietor of the manor of Rensselaerwyck, or his legal successors, a pro- portionate part of the rent of the whole lot No. 238, and to erect and ever after maintain a good and lawful fence around said church plat."

March 28, 1853, the society sold this piece of ground and purchased the one where their church edifice now stands, of Archibald S. Green, and moved their building upon it.

The church has had nineteen different pastors. The following are their names and the order in which they served: R. Beckwith, Adam Clark, R. Burrett, David Corwin, Wm. E. Childs, L. O. Lovell, M. House, Reuben Winegar, Charles Fer- gueson, Alfred Harvey, G. C. Tripp, Jr., J. D. Pope, R. F. Hartwell, J. C. Weeden, Wm. Car- penter, A. Peloubet, A. Waterbury, James H. Mc- Gaghen, D. P. Brown.

The church has received into her fellowship 816 members; some have been excluded; 162 have died in the triumphs of faith, while many have been dismissed by letter to join other churches.

The present number of members is 201; number of Sabbath-school pupils, 180; teachers, 10. The church edifice is of wood, and will seat 350; value, $2,000. The present trustees are Reuben A. Winston, James O. Castle, Jacob Swartwout, Levi S. Moak, Elias H. Babcock and Josiah Winegar.

The Reformed Church, located at Westerlo, for- merly Basic, Chester, was organized in 1793. The pastors have been Revs. Samuel Center, mission- ary, 1823; John Vanderveer, missionary, to 1823; Samuel Van Vechten, missionary, 1823-4; Benja- min Van Keuren, missionary, to 1824; Abram Fort, 1824 to '31; Joseph Wilson, 1832-34; El- bert Slingerland, 1834-6; John Gosman, 1836-8; Alanson B.

SOUTH WESTERLO. - A Baptist society was organ- ized here, and a church edifice erected, about 1808 or 1810, then in the town of Rensselaerville. At that time the place was called "Smith's Mills," named from David Smith, who owned the mills, and, it is said, gave the land upon which this church was built. The society for many years ex- erted an influence that resulted in much good, and were quite prosperous in building up the re- ligious and special interests of the society. For many years they had no regular preachers, but were supplied by Elders Josiah Baker, William Stuart and others.

Rev. Reed Burritt was settled over this church about 1820, and continued as pastor for ten years or more. In the meantime strife and dissension were introduced, and the "Old and New School Societies " became involved in a controversy for the control of the affairs of the church. The "New School " branch were successful in getting the organization incorporated, thus securing legal possession and control of their society. Among other ministers who served this church were Messrs. Crocker, Mudge and Stanton.

The society having fulfilled its mission, and the membership gradually decreasing, they disbanded and sold the church building (which stood where George W. Robbins' house now stands) in 1847, and the old church was moved out of the village.

The Christian Church of South Westerlo was or- ganized in 1820 by the Christian societies of Rens- selaerville, Coeymans, Berne, Baltimore and Free- hold; records of this society previous to 1833 are in possession of the Freehold church. In the year 1824 the society erected a church building, which was used as a house of worship until sold to O. L. Hannay, and is now converted into a public hall, and in which the society of Good Templars meet. In 1833 Anthony Hanes, Nathaniel Holmes and Cyrus Wheaton, were trustees; Joshua Nelson, moderator, and Thomas Saxton, clerk; Abraham Hagen, Robert P. Derboos and Anthony Hanes, deacons.

The original church edifice, becoming too small for the accommodation of the society, was sold, and the old tavern property of William Showers was purchased, and the present house of worship and parsonage were erected in 1872, at a cost of $13,000.

The following are the present officers : Rev. D. J. Putnam, pastor; Darius Rundell, Zerah Lock- wood, William Lake; O. L. Hannay, chairman; Jefferson T. Hannay, clerk. Members, 150; Sunday-school scholars, 180; teachers, 8; contri- butions for all purposes, $1,000.

The corporate cemeteries of Westerlo are two. The Westerlo Rural Cemetery Association was or- ganized, October, 1871, with Wm. V. L. Lapaugh, president; George E. Disbrow, vice-president; Charles Lapaugh, secretary and treasurer; Lewis C. Lockwood, John Sherwood and Joseph Babcock, trustees. The present officers are : Henry Smith, president; James O. Castle, vice-president; Henry A. Ford, Chester Gifford, Gilbert Anderson; Charles Lapaugh, secretary and treasurer. The cemetery is located one mile north of the village, and contains two and three-fourths acres of land.

The Haanakrois Rural Cemetery was organized in 1879, with the following officers : Edward Gib- bons, president; William Applebec, vice-president; Miner Gibbons, secretary and treasurer; Henry Simpkins, John G. Ward, Allen Kniffen. The cemetery contains two acres of land, and is located one mile east of Dormansville.

There are several burial grounds in different parts of the town, which contain the remains of the early settlers, and the one at Van Leuven's Corners is noted for the burial of Col. James Sackett. Most

of these private burial places are being super- seded by incorporated cemeteries, which offer pro- tection and security in the future.

Town Insurance .- Westerlo and Rensselaerville, of Albany County; Greenville and Durham, of Green County, constitute "The Farmers' Fire In- surance Association," and was incorporated under a special act of the Legislature, April, 1857. Thomas Saxton, director and agent.

Kedron Lodge, No. 960, I. O. G. T., was insti- tuted at South Westerlo, December 15, 1878, with Dewitt Stanton, W. C. T .; Alice Knowles, now Hannay, W. V. T., W. W. Gunnison, G. L. D .; F. P. Loncks, L. D. The following are present officers : F. M. Swartwout, W. C. T .; Mrs. Emily Stanton, W. V. T .; Dewitt Stanton, L. D. Num- ber of members, 65.

For a distance of about six miles, commencing at the old Delaware turnpike and extending across the town to Verplank's Bridge, over the Haanakrois Creek, and passing through Chesterville and Dor- mansville, is the western portion of the Coeymans and Westerlo stone road, incorporated June, 1868; Henry Slingerland, director.

Schools .- There are eighteen school-houses in the township, with three joint districts. Schools

were early established, and Apollos Moore and Robert O. K. Bemet were teachers before the township was organized. John Mott, a Quaker, taught a select school many years ago, on the farm of R. Cartwright, for the education of his religious sect, which at that time was quite numerous. The other sects were not excluded. After the death of Mott the school was continued by Henry Lawson, and after him, for a time, by John Preston.

Gideon St. John taught school for twenty-seven years, and Truman Ingalls for many years, in con- nection with a grammar school, evenings. Heman Crocker, Solomon Trowbridge, C. Stewart, Moses Scott and Levi Holmes, Miss Bush and Ann Lawson were teachers fifty years ago.

The number of children of school age for the year 1869 was 800; the number attending school, 665; average attendance, 281. Amount ex- pended for school purposes during above year, $4,701.

Schools in the township are well conducted, and progress is the grand feature that gives promise of a higher order of education.

He studied medicine with Dr. Zina Lay and Dr. Hyde; and to prepare himself the better to practice his chosen profession, he attended a course of lectures at Fairfield, and was licensed by the censors of Herki- mer County. After obtaining his license, he lo- cated, in 1826, at Dormansville, the place of his nativity; and after many years of hardships, in riding over the hills through winter storms, and over rough roads winding through the forests, he lives to enjoy the comforts of life in his old age.

THE TOWNSHIP OF WATERVLIET.

HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF WATERVLIET.

By JACOB S. MARKLE.

INTRODUCTION.

THE pages devoted to the history of Watervliet have been gathered and carefully written from sources that were attainable, and from information kindly given by those who had knowledge of the facts, events or circumstances connected in some way with the several subjects under consideration, and from which important data was obtainable. Old deeds and other records have been of much value, and from these information of general in- terest has been freely given. Personal assistance was rendered in some instances, for which the writer acknowledges his indebtedness and kindly returns his sincere thanks.

The limit of the work precludes much that might be introduced, did it not trespass upon the general plan of the history and conflict with the province of other writers.

We have thus imperfectly traced the records and historical associations connected with the changes and modern progress of this old township, from its early settlement in colonial times, and its strug- gles, to its present modest prosperity; and much of this has something to remind us of the stalwart patriotism of its founders and the enthusiasm which belongs to a people of intelligence, physical vigor and exalted manhood.

ALBANY, 1885.

WATERVLIET TOWNSHIP.

The Manor of Rensselaerwyck was erected into a district, March 24, 1772, and subdivided into East and West districts, March 5, 1779, the river being the separating line. The West District, as defined by act of March, 1772, embraced all that part of the manor north of an east and west line from Beeren Island north to Cumberland County, ex- cept the City of Albany.

The name of WATERVLIET is of Dutch origin, from water and vlakte, level plains or flats. The level lands or flats along the river were and are subject to overflow in time of freshets; hence they are the " overflowed flats " or water-vlakte, the last word corrupted into "vliet," which is incorrect, as vliet in the Dutch language means river.

This township was the first one organized in the county, and was formed, March 7, 1788, and in- cluded the West District of the Manor of Rens- selaerwyck, with Colonial or State lands on the north. That part of the city north of Patroon and Quackenbos streets, known as the Colonie, was in- corporated, March 31, 1791, and again, March 30, 1801. April 9, 1804,* it was made a village, and April 11, 1808, it was organized by the Legisla- ture as a township, in which it continued to exer- cise civil and political privileges until February 25, 1815, when the township was divided, a part merged into the bounds of the City of Albany and the remaining portion reannexed to Watervliet. In 1870 a part of this old Colonie was taken from Watervliet and annexed to Albany City.
