and he did not remain long in the service. He was a good scholar, and would, no doubt, have become an efficient officer. Both father and son are buried in Oakwood.
II. 2. * Barnabus, Jr., married Harret Atwood of Nunda. Her home has been in Dansville, N. Y.
JONATHAN BARRON
He was called Captain and also Squire. He bought, in 1823, a large farin - in Barron District, Mt. Morris, and next year another on Creek Road, Nunda. There was a clearing and some rail fence and a frame house on the farm. The old house built in 1823 or 1824 is now standing but has been used as a tenant house ever since N. Chandler built a new one. The old house is probably the oldest one in the town.
Jonathan Barron moved into the village in 1837, buying the new house on Church Street afterwards owned by Peter Depuy. It is now 70 years old- a little older than its present owner-but it is now known as Dormer Cottage. East Street, the dormers and porches having been added by Yours Truly. Squire Barron married in Vermont, Susannah Aiken.
Second Generation
II. I. Polly A., spinster, died aged 60; 2. Anice, married Dr. B. Wright (neither of them living ) ; 3. Moses, born 1795, taught school twenty years, farmer with 300 acres, Justice of the Peace, died 1862, buried at Nunda, mar- ried, 1836, Mary Barrett, eldest daughter of Deacon James Barrett, born in New Hampshire, November 23, 1813, who still survives him and is, at this date (January I, 1908.) past 94 years of age. When she came to Nunda in 1835 there was quite a settlement, most of the stores around the Plaza, the Eagle Hotel, the Swains grist mill, and the old first Baptist and the first Pres- byterian churches. The Nunda House was in process of erection. Her father bought out the farm and home of his son-in-law. Dr. Barnabus Wright. Her neighbors in the village were the families of William D. Hammond. then on Portage Street : John S. Wright, first house west of Nunda house ; Oliver Wright, who came with them from New Hampshire, who built the house owned by Ernest Olney. Esq .. the Swains and others. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Barron came into the village and lived in a part of the house of her husband's sister. As wife, mother and mother-in-law, grandmother. church member, citizen and neighbor, she has been all that is desirable. As nonogenarian she is without an equal in cheerfulness, gentleness, patience and contentment. She still enjoys sharing to some extent in the family labors and still attends on pleasant days the church and Sunday School of which she has been a member for 72 years. There are not ten persons living in this village now that were living here then even in their childhood. We give our neighbors and friends of former days her photo, taken when she was eighty years young. Fourteen years have been added and yet she might be mistaken for a young person of 75.
The children of Moses and Mary Barron who reached maturity were :
1. Mary Narcissa, educated at the Nunda Literary Institute and at Sat- terlee's Collegiate Institute. Rochester. N. Y. She taught distriet schools. following the example of her father, until her marriage. She was married
266
December 28, 1865, to Captain John Wesley Hand, and has lived in Rochester, DuBois, Ill., and since 1892 in Nunda village, where filial love called her to care for the mother who needed her presence and companionship.
2. Lucias H. Barron, born 1843, in early manhood became a soldier of the Civil War; since then a farmer, merchant, mill owner. He married Miss Alida Yeomans of Mt. Morris. He died in Nebraska.
III. 3. Alida J. Barron, A. B., teacher in academies and public schools of Rochester and Denver. Miss Barron was the first lady college graduate from this vicinity and from any of our Nunda High Schools. This distinction gave her the honor of being the first Vice President of the College Club of Nunda. 4. Milton M. Barron, the youngest member of this family, has, like his father and grandfather, been Justice of the Peace and farmer on the Home- stead that has been in the family for three generations.
The family seem to regard education as one of the essentials in good farm- ing and in life. He was educated at Nunda Academy, Mill Street. Nunda, and at Cornell University. He has tried his hand at merchant and railroad con- tractor but found no place like the homestead. He married Alida Hall of Tuscarora, daughter of Isaac Hall.
Fourth Generation
The only grandchildren of Moses Barron are the children of Milton and Alida Hall Barron : John. Arthur and Onolee. John and Arthur attended the Nunda High School, and thereupon have a place in our school history of the town. They have all been at Ithaca and shared the advantages of that literary center. Miss Onolee is still there. John now writes his name, Prof. John Barron, B. of Science of Agriculture, Pennsylvania State College, at State College, Pa.
The Abel Barron family were residents of Mt. Morris. Abel Barron bought the Lemen farm. adjoining the Barron homestead. He married (first) Margaret Rockafellow of Nunda. They had no children. He married (second) Margaret Norton of Mt. Morris : four children : Harriet L., A. Clifton, Thorn- ton and Catharine. All but Thornton have lived in Nunda. He married Emma Sherman of Nunda.

OLIVER WRIGHT SETTLED IN 1835
By his first marriage he was a brother-in-law of Eben Wheeler (settled 1833). Oliver Wright, married ( first ) *Hannah Wheeler.
I. Almira, married Mordan Wright, son of John S.
II. I. Walter Wright : 2. Hannah E. T. Wright, missionary to Burmah (see Nunda Missionaries, Church and Clergy Department), married Rev. Lyman Stilson. A. M., missionary: 3. W. Parker Wright, skilled mechanic, in government employ at Navy Yard, Washington, D. C., during part of the Civil War: 4. Charles Wright, born 1828, skilled mechanic.
Oliver Wright and sons had the first furnace in Nunda. The old building is still standing. It was built by John S. Wright and located on his lot, and is now used by its present owner. John Hughes, as a livery building. The build- ing, at least 75 years old, unlike the houses of the village, has not improved with age. The Wright Bros. went to Rochester and while there made the fire engine, the "Protector." all were so proud of. It was sold after the present excellent system of water works was established. The Hope hose engine is still to be seen, though never used.
As "skilled mechanics" the sons of Oliver Wright stand prominent, first in the list from Nunda, and it is an honor to the town that W. Parker Wright was selected by the government in the mounting of Dahlgren guns for the protection of the National Capitol. He was living at Nunda at the time of the Civil War.
John S. Wright. pioneer, settled 1832. builder of several houses for him- self, son-in-law, and sons, builder of the first foundry, was first author, having had printed a pamphlet of his search for the most desirable location for a home. That he settled in Nunda after an unsatisfactory journey to Ohio, and a tem- porary residence in Chautauqua County, is at least complimentary to Nunda ; that he died at the Ridge is due to his great zeal for the Baptist denomination that led him to the building of the church in that settlement, which has, how- ever, become a Methodist Church edifice.
The family record of this excellent and useful family is furnished by the daughter of the only living child of this early pioneer. The family also fur- nished the assessment role of the town in 1834, when John S. Wright was assessor, but it has not been found. As it would give all the names of the tax- payers of that date it would be of great value, if found.
Mrs. Jessie Smith Warner of Brooklyn, N. Y., daughter of Sarah A. Wright, of Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly of Nunda and Wellsville, has given me the following complete family statistics :
I. John S. Wright. born 1732. died at Ridge, N. Y., 1849, buried at Nunda, married February 27. 1803 (settled in Nunda. Portage Street, 1833) ; Asenath Arnold, born 1785, died April 10, 1866, buried at Nunda.

CHAPTER XIX.
1830
G EORGE W. MERRICK, Supervisor of Nunda; William P. Wilcox first County Superintendent of the Poor. The population of Allegany County this year, 27,276. There was paid by the county this year for killing harmful wild beasts $467.50, for I panther .. 23 wolves and 18 whelps (young wolves).
POPULATION OF TOWNS
Alfred 1,416, Allen 898, Almond 1,804, Amity 872, Andover 598, Angelica 998, Belfast 743, Birdsall 543, Bolivar 449, Burns 702, Caneadea 782, Center- ville 1,195, Cuba 1,059, Eagle 892. Friendship 1.502, Genesee 219, Grove (in- cluding most of Granger) 1.388, Haight 655, Hume 951, Independence 877, Nunda 1,291. Ossian 812, Pike 2.016, Portage (including Genesee Falls and part of Granger) 1.839, Rushford. 1. 115, Seio 602. The county was at this time divided into 25 towns.
The families that are known to have come to this town in 1830: Deacon William R. Ruryee, Abraham DeGroff, William D. Paine, Silas Grover. A survey of the canal route from Rochester to Allegheny River, directed by Legislature. April 17, 1830.
Besides giving the population of the towns of Allegany County, we are given this year the amount of public money distributed to the schools. The school money for Nunda was $67.16, the town of Almond received $94 and Alford $73.70, while Angelica received only $51.99.
The secret of the population at that time being so great may be solved by stating that nearly every family had from seven to twelve children. If the same conditions prevailed at the present time our population would be at least quadrupled. The Duryee family that settled in 1830 is unlike in num- bers our Nunda families of to-day.
This family was one of the largest and proved to be good stayers. Most of the later pioneers consider Deacon William R. Duryee one of the old pio- neers. He settled in 1830, but even he belonged to the second generation of Duryees in Nunda.

1825-THE ELWOODS
Mr. James Elwood was a shoemaker and sometimes went around "whip- ping the cat," as it was called ; that is, he went to a farm house, and made up their tanned leather into shoes and boots for the family. Their were several other pioneer shoemakers who did the same-probably Joel Saterlee and Alex. Guy. The custom did not last long after village shoe shops were established.
Wesley Bailey owns the farm where J. Elwood formerly lived. . He also lived where Mark Turner now lives. The house was moved from Chautauqua Hollow, its owner, a Mr. Kellogg. having espoused Mormonism and wishing to emigrate to Utah, to be near the prophet Joseph, sold his house, which was torn down and rebuilt on this spot, then on the Cashaqua trail.
As there were a baker's dozen of the children their descendants must be in nearly every state in the union.
James Elwood family were Baptists, and consisted of himself and wife. James Elwood was born 1797, died 1870, aged 73, settled about 1824, with I. Thomas, of whom it is said "his neck was broken while wrestling with a friend ;" 2. Samuel; 3. James Henry ; 4.

In canal days, Mr. Roberts moved into the village and lived there dur- ing his life.
JOSHUA FULLER, NONAGENARIAN
Joshua Fuller, who was the third in a family of fourteen children and could trace his lineage through seven generations to Edward Fuller, who came over in the Mayflower and who landed at Plymouth, Mass .. December 21, 1820, came to Nunda in 1833 and settled on the very spot where the Protestant Methodist Church now stands.
The Fuller family seems noted throughout its many branches for long- evity and large families. Joshua's family and also that of his son, William C. Fuller, seem no exception to the rule. He was a deacon of the Universalist Church of Nunda, a thoroughly good man, and a typical New Englander. He was born April 4, 1778, during the Revolutionary War. His father, Elisha Fuller, was a Revolutionary soklier. The father died at Ludlow, Mass., where all his children were born. Joshua was married about 1800, first, to Polly
272
.
Brewer, who died the same year. and next to Mercy Pease, who became the mother of his large family. The Fuller genealogy gives the names of three of his daughters: Polly, born 1802; Clarissa, born 1803: Louisa, born 1808. One of these-Polly-must have come to Nunda and was married to a son or brother of Erastus Carrier, who lived on the County Line Road. 4. Sophia, born 1810, was married to Dr. Nelson Chittenden, one of the early dentists of Nunda ; 5. Caroline, born 1812, married Alfred Goldthwait and they came to . Nunda before the father's family came ; 6. James Fuller went west, and had two sons : 7. George Fuller to Philadelphia, had one son, Edward ; 9. Maria Fuller was married in Nunda by Rev. Dr. Manley, Universalist, to Porter Warren, son of Noah, the veteran ; 10, William C. Fuller, postmaster and Deputy Sheriff nine years each. married ( first) Louisa C. Guy, daughter of Alexander Guy of Nunda ; the latter was born in 1822 and died May 28, 1895. Mr. Fuller married (second) the widow of Joel Brewer, with whom several of the Institute boys boarded. Mr. Fuller died and his widow now lives with her son at Rochester.
