THE CALL OF THE WILDS


A story founded on facts. Asa and James M. Heath settled in Nunda in 1819, on lands on which the business part of the village now stands, extending from the Whitcomb or C. B. Lawrence place to Vermont Street on the State Road. Asa built the first frame house in 1824 on the west side of the plaza, and James M., the Eagle Hotel. Both sold their farms too soon. Asa to Law- ver Chipman and James M. to Henry C. Jones, who changed his purchase to a small laid out village. Asa was a hunter and taxadermist and the sound of the "Cracking Gun" was the only music he could hear, as he was deaf. He de- sired to sell out and go west, his wife Amy Satterlee, sister to Joel and Syl- vester, would not go, so he gave up half. the avails of the sold farm, and started off to live a life congenial to himself, he died and one of his sons went after his horse and gun. The honest man at whose home he lived gave them up, and $1,600 to the son, so the story says. The call of the wilds could not be unheard even by one with impaired hearing.


Soon after James M., his brother built the most famous hotel in this re- gion, the Eagle in 1832. here all elections were held. It has passed through many hands and is now for sale. It is looking better than when first built.

Asa Heaths children were Asa R., by a former wife, who lived a few years in Nunda, and the rest of the family went west with him, so the Baptist church records say.


Sylvester Heath, his son moved to Grove and Lemira married a man by the name of Plummer, both are forgotten now, but strange to say, a son of this forgotten couple, has held the highest office of any man born in Nunda, as will be told later.


Van Rennsalaer. Arden and Diana. were the other children. Mark W. Heath. a son of Sylvester, a Nunda soldier living in Grove, is the only near rela- tive surviving. James M. Heath's family also. moved away. Sylvester stayed. Arden his uncle married a sister of Sheriff Thomas Chase, and moved from town. The author has repented and will now tell that the son of Lemira Plummer. William S. Plummer born in Nunda was U. S. Senator from Cali- fornia. Great Scott! No, Great Plummer! Political plums hang within reach in California.


THE RAWSONS


In 1819 Palmer Rawson located on the south part of the creek road now known as Walnut Street and built a log house on crooked brook south of the Balty House. His brother. James Harvey, settled in the southern part of the town with his brother-in-law . Willoughby Lowell. James Harvey, married Willoughby Lowell's sister Clarissa. Their home with its contents was burned the same year.


I. ELIAS RAWSON 1820


The next year their father's family came. It was a grown up family of sons and daughters, just what the community needed. Besides Palmer and James Harvey, Elias Rawson, the father, had two sons, Lyman and Coleman and three daughters. Lyman settled on the Willoughby Drew farm, for a year or two, and I presume started the second industry "an ashery" for there was one on that farm. Coleman married Miss Bowen and settled near the corner of State and Rawson (sometimes called Water Street). Clarissa was soon married to Willoughby Lowell and they settled on the Lewis Close place, near his saw-mill. where he built the upright part. the wing of logs having been pre- viously built probably by some squatter.


Ralph Page, son of Eli, another young bachelor. built a log house east of the Palmer Rawson house on a part of the E. O. Dickinson farm but back from the present road, for Mill Street had not then been laid out. except from the saw-mill to the creek road. In line with these two log houses was a third one west of the road that passes the Chidsey farm, but east of the Page house, and here lived Thomas Rathbun, a young married man, with a wife and young son, James. This trail or bridle path extended from Chautauqua Hollow past these three log houses to the Coleman Rawson frame house on State Street. It failed to become a street for after the grist mill was located in 1828, houses were built on that highway, and so only the short street. between State and Church Streets, has recently got back its own name Rawson Street. which should never again be lost. Why? Do you expect me to tell all the love stories of two genera- tions of Rawsons in one chapter instead of having, as authors do, a twenty years or later sequel. Well it I must -- here goes.

THE ROMANCE OF RAWSON ROAD


Ralph Page and Palmer Rawson became great friends and not wanting to live alone in their new log houses, or even with each other, they traded sisters. i. e., of course, with the said sisters consent. Ralph married Rhoda and Palmer married Leua l'age. Sequel in after years. Minerva Rawson, their daughter. a generation afterward married the young boy James Rathbun, a few years her senior, who grew up in the third log house on the Rawson road, owned by Thomas Rathbun; and a generation after that our Mrs. Rathbun furnished both her husband and her only son Adrian in answer to Father Abraham's call for 600,000 more. This patriotic lady, born in our village and who has lived most of her life in our village, bore a double load of anxiety, during those dreary dreadful years, thinking by day and dreaming by night,


"Of the fire balls of death That crash souls out of men."


J. H. Rawson traded his farm for village property after some years, and a generation afterward, his daughter, Adeline, was married to Munson O. Barker, who was born in our young town 85 years ago. A son of Coleman Rawson, Homer, lived on the north side of Rawson Street, Caroline, youngest sister of Palmer, J. H. and C. Rawson. married Asher Clough, son of Na- thaniel, a pioneer of 1821. The three log houses and the Rawson road are things of the past, the frame house on State Street is now back of the fine gothic house built by Homer Elwood, a grandson and the short street renamed Rawson Street in our last county atlas is all that is left to perpetuate the Ro- mance of Rawson Road.


J. H. Rawson was supervisor of the town of Portage, and for many years Justice of the Peace in Nunda. Both Elias Rawson and his son, J. H. Rawson, were deacons of the Baptist church of Nunda.

WILLIAM DEAK (OR DAKE) GOULD


Revolutionary soldier from Albany County which at the time of that war included most of Vermont, came to Nunda in 1819, and probably into our present village in 1820. He built or occupied the second log house built on State Street opposite the Union Block.


Mr Gould had been wounded and walked with a cane. He wore a queue or cue, and dressed as a Continental soldier, was a subject of both interest and fear to the children of sixty years ago. He was buried on the Levi Gould lot near the Richmond and Whitcomb vault with no stone to mark his grave or tell of his valor. An illustration of a regretted fact.


"The graves our sons have given us


Grudged us our renown."


153


The family of William Gould, second settlers in Nunda village consisted of the following persons :


William D. Gould and Abigail Cattrell Gould. Daniel who married in Sparta. Buel who went West and died there. Levi married Amelia Weed- right. George lives at Craig Colony. Milie married Harvey Freelove. Eliza married Jehial Johnson ( who was drowned at Wellsville). The obituary of Mr. Gould by his pastor has recently been found.


OBITUARY


In Nunda, N. Y., November 24. 1842, Mr. William Gould, aged 88 years. In the death of Mr. Gould, his companion has lost a partner with whom she had lived fifty years. But she mourns her loss, with the hope of meeting the dieparted in a brighter and better world. Seven children have been called to weep over the departure of an aged and respected father. Mr. Gould lived in the days that "tried mens souls," and took an active part in the struggle for our national existence. His was also the second family that settled in this now thriving village. He had long been a believer in the restitution and main- tained his confidence in the unfailing mercy of God, while he could express his feelings on the subject. For the last year or two, he has been mostly. confined to the house. But whenever he had an opportunity, he expressed to the writer his earnest desire for the prosperity of our common cause. On the occasion of his funeral, a discourse was delivered to the mourning relatives and sym- pathizing friends by Rev. W. E. Manley .- Copied by Rev. Ansom Titus from Evangelical Magazine and Gospel Advocate. Utica, December 30, 1842.


THE WILCOX (1820) AND RICHARDSON FAMILIES


A Genealogical pamphlet compiled by William Alonzo Wilcox of Scran- ton, a grandson of Nathan Pendleton Wilcox, ( who died in Nunda), furnishes facts that are surprising to those who live in a town where Civil honors are seldom conferred.


We are especially grateful to this fillial son and worthy grandson, for the use of his well written genealogical record of an unusually successful and in- teresting family, of our early pioneers. 1


I. William Pendleton Wilcox ( Isaiah. Edward I), born in Herkimer County, N. Y., May 30, 1794. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was deputy sheriff of Allegany County. N. Y. He removed in 1820 to Nunda, and in 1831 to Mckean County. Fa .. where he became the sales agent for Ben- jamin and Andrew M. Jones, afterwards the Mckean and Elk Land Improve- ment Company. County superintendent of the poor and P. M., of Nunda, 1828-29. In 1835 he was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representa- tives and was re-elected for three successive terms, serving through Governor Ritner's administration and the "Buckshot War." He was then elected to the Senate and in 1845 to the Speakership of that body. In 1858 and 1859 he was again a member of the House of Representatives. He also served a term as Associate Judge. The latter part of his life was spent on a farm at Williams- ville, Mckean County. The newspaper notices of his death speak of his pub- lic and private life, his abilities, his generosity, his commanding appearance


154


and the evenness of his cheerful, genial disposition. He died at Port Alle- gheny, April 13, 1868. He was first married to Betsey Paine, by whom he had three children.


II. 1. Elvira Zeviah, born Danube, December 29, 1815: 2. Alonzo Isaiah, born Danube, March 22, 1819: 3. Clarissa Prudelia, born 1821, died unmarried January 9, 1845. His wife Betsey died. and he married in 1824. Esther Swift, born in Tolland, Connecticut, who had removed with her par- ents to Onondaga County, New York. She died at Port Allegheny, Pa., Jan- uary 5, 1881, aged 7y years. There were no children of the second marriage.


I. 2. Nathan Pendleton Wilcox. ( a brother of Wm. P. W.), born Her- kimer County, N. Y., May 3, 1804, removed to Nunda, N. Y., where he was the architect and builder of the First Baptist church. (The Brick chruch was not built till 1842, which was after his death). He married, October 9. 1828, Lu- rancie, daughter of Lt. William and Saralı ( Norton) Richardson. of Madison County, N. Y. He died April 24, 1833, aged 29 years. His widow married William Williams of Smethport. Mckean County, who had a considerable fam- ily by a former wife. She survived him and died at Sewickley, December 10, 1893. They had two children.


II. Thomas Jefferson, born April 29, 1830; died July 30, 1830. 2. Na- than Pendleton, Jr., born May 16, 1832.


II. I. Elvira Zeviah Wilcox, married September 26, 1839, Chester Irons Medbery of Mckean County, Pa. Their children were:


III. I. William Chester; 2. Alonzo Harris Irons.


They lived in Mckean County until October, 1883, when they removed with their son Alonzo H., to Beadle County. South Dakota, and remained there with him until their death. Her husband died March 17, 1893. She died Octo- ber 5, 1900.


II. 2. Alonzo Isaiah Wilcox, son of Wm., born Danube township, Her- kimer County, N. Y., March 22, 1819, married, June 2, 1846, Lovisa, daughter of Judge Isaac and Lucy ( Warren ) Horton.

I. Clarissa, born, 1847. 2. Susan, 1853. 3. Ida, 1857. 4. William. 1860, of whom all but Ida died without issue.


He was a lumberman and oil producer : he located an extensive saw mill in the wilderness of Elk County when he was but a young man, and the town of Wilcox was named after him at the suggestion of President Buchanan. whose friend he was. He was much interested in the general development of the sec- tion and an active promoter of the Equitable Pipe Line Company. the Tidewater Company, of the Jersey Shore and Pine Creek: Rochester, Nunda and Penn- sylvania ; Bradford, Bordell and Kinsua, and Philadelphia and Erie Railroads. He served as Colonel on the staff of Governor Packer of Pennsylvania and again on the staff of Governor Geary; was a member of the Lower House in the Legislatures of 1847, 1848 and 1870. He was elected the first two terms as a Democrat ; the last as a Republican. All the other Wilcoxes and all the Med- berys have been life-long Democrats. Colonel Alonzo I. Wilcox identified him- self with the Republican party about the time of the beginning of the Civil War. He was sheriff of Mckean County 1881-84. The notable floods of 1861 de-

stroyed his lumber business and caused him heavy losses ; he repeatedly lost heavily through endorsements and had his full share of reverses, but they never conquered him : he never lost heart, and retamed throughout his characteristic buoyancy of spirit and generous charitableness. He was a man of the broadest sympathies, notably hospitable, congenial, liberal, deservedly popular and re- spected.


II. 1. Nathan Pendleton Wilcox, (son of Nathan Pendleton), born at Nunda, N. Y., May 16, 1832; married at Coventry, N. Y., by Rev. J. B. Hoyt. October 6. 1856, to Celestine, daughter of John and Nancy ( Little) Birge, of Coventry. Their children are :

Received his education at Nunda Academy. Was merchant at Olean, N. Y., and removed in 1862 to Nicholson, Wyoming County, Pa., where he was a hardware merchant for many years and a leading man in the community. For thirty-five years he has been an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and was com- missioner to the notable General Assembly of 1869 in New York City when the union of the old and new schools was consummated, and again to the General Assembly of 1879 at Saratoga Springs. He has held many local public and corporation offices. Is a past master of Nicholson Lodge, No. 438, F. and A: M., and a member of Temple Commandery at Tunkhannock. Of late years he has been largely occupied as a surveyor and conveyancer. He died April 25. 1904.


III. Ida Wilcox. (Alonzo Isaiah, William Pendleton ), born at Wilcox. Elk County, Pa., in 1857; married in 1882 to Ernest H. Koester, son of G. F. and Mary B. Koester. Their children are

Mr. Koester served a term as District Attorney of Mckean County, Pa., and is at present an active lawyer at Hackensack, N. J., and prosecuting attor- ney at Bergen County. N. J.


William Alonzo Wilcox ( Nathan Pendleton, Jr., Nathan Pendleton), born July 25, 1857: married April 22. 1885, Katharine, daughter of Hon. Steuben and Katharine ( Breese) Jenkins of Wyoming. Pa. Their children are :


IV. I. William Jenkins, born March 17. 1886. 2. Emily, born January 7. 1889. 3. Helen. born March 4, 1892. 4 and 5. Stephen and Henry (twins), born January 31, 1808. The former died January 7, 1899, and the lat- ter April 23. 1898.


He is a member of the Lackawanna County Bar, and has been in active practice at Seranton since 1880. One of the incorporators of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and a member of the American Bar Association. Was a rul- ing elder of the Presbyterian Church while at Wyoming.


William Pendleton Wilcox. was the first merchant in Nunda ( 1822). He also kept an inn. and for two years was the first post master in the present town of Nunda. He was one of several. to lay out the State Road that passed his house in 1821. It was not till one year later he opened his house as a store and inn, for before the road was laid out, there would have been no travel. Wilcox

Corners was also called "The Center." As he sold out in 1831 to Jacob Guy it has since been called "Guy's Corners." Mr. Wilcox was a member of the Bap- tist Church and this society sometimes leid services there.


Few of our citizens have attained as high honors in civil life.


One of our best known citizens Utley Spencer clerked for him and under the Deputy Sheriff, became Constable. The family seem to have been fitted for official life. as one of his brothers. and one of this brother's sons, were able to write Hon. before their names.


His son Alonzo Wilcox seems to have had the same pushing qualities. As he was a cousin to Delos Merrick and the second generation of the Paines, we naturally inquire if the change of location, and occupation was not a large element in his rapid advancement.


NATHAN PENDLETON WILCOX


The early death of Nunda's first architect, Nathan Pendleton Wilcox ( who probably was the builder of the old Nunda Literary Institute building and is said to have been of the Baptist Brick church of Rochester ), cut short a career of interest in another direction.


Fortunately he left a son and namesake, who has led an unusually useful life.


Nathan Pendleton Wilcox, born in 1804. in Herkimer County, if he came with his elder brother William P., to Nunda in 1820 would have been but a youth of 16.


This excellent young man contracted consumption and died April 24. 1833, age 29 years. His dream of life and love already past.
