CHAPTER XX.
SETTLERS ALONG THE OLD COUNTY LINE.
P ETER ROBERTS came to Leicester about 100 years ago, when there were but few white settlers, and those, mostly those who had lived with the Indians, like Horatio Jones and Joseph Smith. Indians were plenti- ful for there were three Indian Reservations within the present township of Leicester. He had teams, and finding the wild grass bountiful he gathered some stacks of it for winter use, whether the sight of this heap of combustibles reminded an old squaw of the burning of Little Beardstown, by Sullivan's men. and the destruction of her home in '79. or the very easy task it would be to re- duce this crop of winter hay to ashes, is not known, but one winter night she applied the blazing brand, and the winters supply of hay was gone.
276
It had been a time of peace and even the Indians feared this act of aggres- sion would lead to "bad blood" between the races, so they themselves took the matter in hand, accused the squaw of being a witch, tried and condemned her. and burned her at the stake.
Mr. Roberts, robbed of his winter's supply of fodder, "took to the woods" of Sparta, and fed his stock on bushes as best he could; the oxen alone lived through.
Soon after, the war of 1812-14 being in progress, a draft was made and one of his neighbors was drafted who did not care to go, so he gave Mr. Roberts $50 to go in his place. The Sparta volunteers and others who could not find substitutes, for few had $50, went to the front, among them our future townsman John C. McNair. Roberts not only went, but returned and having tried his hand and his courage, liked it so well that on three other occasions he volunteered his services for the protection of the frontier.
GREEN ROBERTS FAMILY
I.
I. Husted Green, Sr., married Hannah Roberts, daughter of the pioneer veteran, Peter Roberts.
II.
I. Husted Green, Jr., married Alathea Runyan; 2. Jane Green, married Abram Tunison, West Sparta : 3. Robert W., married Mary McBride.
Husted and Robert W., were both soldiers of the war, the latter lost an arm in the service. Husted has served as assessor of the town a number of terms. Robert W., had been School Commissioner, while all the three children have taught school. Husted lives on the homestead, and Robert is a physician and lives at Geneseo, N. Y.
III
Sheldon Green, married I Anna Derrickson, 2 Madge Carpenter. He is a first class carpenter and builder : Caroline, a teacher (Genesee Normal School). married F. Carpenter.
The military record of this three fold family is worthy of special mention. Peter Roberts, veteran ( Sparta Co.) 1812-14.
His grandsons: Peter Roberts: William Batterson; John Batterson, died fighting Indians, after the Civil War; Husted Green; Robert Green ; Andrew. McMillian; Lewis Sutton (died in the service), married Jane Roberts; Isaiah B. Hamilton : Henry Waver (a son-in-law). was veteran of Mexican War and of Civil War: all blood relatives, excepting the last three, who married into the family, furnishing another illustration that military tendencies can be trans- mitted.
Mrs. Silas Roberts at the age of 90, tells of first settlers along the Keshe- qua Trail.
Additional to the Tuttle family, one of its members, Mrs. Lydia Montangee Roberts, a nonogenarian who died about ten years ago, left a record of her early recollections when she was a young woman and lived with an uncle and aunt. Abner Tuttle and wife, on the site of the Coopersville mill house. There were three brothers of these Tuttles. Abner, Henry and Stephen. The Baptist Church records, record only the name of Stephen Tuttle who moved to Grove, though
277
Mrs. Roberts says, that Elder Samuel Messenger preached at the McSweeney log school house foot of East Street, and all these people attended the services. (The early settlers who were Baptists joined the church at Union Corners.) She also states that her cousin Amy Tuttle was the first person buried in the Nunda Valley Cometery, that Amy was 19 years of age and died in 1822. The family had lived there for at least five years. and she had lived with them part of that time. She stated that all the three Tuttles lived on the east side of the Keshequa Creek on the Keshequa trail ( the trail crossed the Keshequa on the Cranston farm near the Bates Road). She also mentions that "Granny Pren- tice" was the second person buried in our Nunda Cemetery, that Abner Tuttle with his oxen and sled drew the remains to the cemetery, that the furneral pro- cession had to stop, and the men cut away fallen timber several times before reaching her grave. This was in 1823, and Granny was 90 years old. if so, she must have been born in 1733 and was probably the first born of all the pioneers. Elisha Prentice is mentioned as living on the west side of the creek opposite to the Irwin place on the east side. He was probably the son of "Granny Prentice" and the brother of Nathan Prentice. the father of John and Hiram Prentice ; and here in Nunda, on the County Line, this first of our many nonogenarians passed away. She also locates Zadoc Sherwood, near the Jones family burial lot. the Crawfords as before stated lived on the Jones farm, near a watering trough, and stranger still. Alpheus Herrick and D. I. Conklin, lived in a double log house, on the Liberty Bennett farm. Slayton had an ashery on the Wil- loughby Drew place, Daniel Wisner had a private burial ground, east of the Drew place, while his log house was on the opposite side of the road, west of what was afterwards called the Devinny place. This log house was by a fine spring of water.
The Tuttles were from the Wyoming Valley, Pa., and were no relation to the Tuthills of Portage and Nunda. Their principal source of income at first was from selling ashes, at the Siayton Ashery. The lands west of the Keshe .. qua were covered with a forest of yellow pines. All this was on or before 1822. She mentions both McSweeney, and Judge Carroll, but calls Mc- Sweeney a clerk of Carroll's. This is the only statement that is questionable. Judge Carroll's map of 1824, and later, does not speak of the Tuttles. Slayton or Prentices, and locates Alpheus Herrick opposite to Granville Sherwood and Conklin, near the Coles where he lived many years, and Jonathan Barron on the Sturgeon farm. But this statement from a nonogenarian who lived in Nunda as early as 1818. and died here so recently is of great value. Many pages of it have been lost. but what remains is of great interest. This information con- cerning our cemetery could not have been obtained from any other source. It harmonizes well with the time of the laying out of the streets leading to it. West Street and Fourth Street about this time 1821 or 1822. by Henry C. Jones, our first village maker. Slayton re-appears a few years later with two others. Curtis and Guy, and this time they changed grain into liquid form, and we have to confess to having had a distillery in pioneer Nunda near the Slayton ashery. One of the proprietors, Jacob Guy, about 1830, bought out the Wilcox store and inn, and since then this place has been known as "Guy's Corners." and the inn as Guy's Tavern. The building, a frame house, is still stand- ing, is in fair condition and is a typical specimen of the Wayside Inn common
278
during the period denominated in pioneer days, improved conditions when frame houses superceded log ones.
We give the likeness of this nonogenarian who died in 1897, aged 91.
Silas Roberts and his sisters, Mrs. John Batterson, Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Gambol were cousins to Mrs. Jemima Roberts Squires and her sister, Mrs. Hannah Green, wife of Husted Green, Sr. They all came from Sparta, where their ancestor, Peter Roberts, Sr., a soldier of the war of 1812, located at a very early date. The Tuttle family, that settled near Coopersville at least twenty years before the mill was built, was also related on the Roberts side. The fam- ily of Silas Roberts was connected by marriage to that of Leonard Kuhn, Mrs. Lydia Montanye Roberts and Mrs. Urania Montanye Kuhn being sisters. Lewis Sutton, a nephew of these sisters, married, before enlisting in the 104th Regiment, Celestia Jane Roberts, his cousin ; and Andrew McMillian, another cousin, married as his second wife after the war, Urana, an older daughter. These various branches of the family of the old veteran followed his example in one respect : they were patriotic and the soldiers from this fighting family were numerous, and. as far as known, valiant.
The Tuttles came into town about 1815. Mrs. Silas Roberts then a young lady came with them. The Squires family came about 1825. The John Batterson family were on the Mt. Morris side of the county line, while the Greens had only to move a few rods from Sparta into Nunda, their old home being in full sight of their new home in Nunda.
Jesse Squire, Sr.'s, name is on the Judge Carroll map, so we may con- clude the family settled in 1824 or 1825. The family were as follows:
1. Jesse Squire, Sr., and Mrs. Jemima Roberts Squire. Children :
1. * John, married Amanda Alvard, her second husband Henry Chase ; ?. *Seeley, Sr., ( marble cutter ), married Marian Hoyt, daughter of Shepherd Hoyt. Sr. : 3. Susan, married William Benson; 4.

Elisha Whipple came to the village and lived on East Street. He became Supervisor of the town. On one occasion the candidates for Supervisor had the same number of votes so both agreed to leave their predecessor in office, so he served an additional term.
Ephraim Walker, son of John Walker a Revolutionary soldier, was a vete- ran of the war of 1812, (also a local minister of the M. E. Church). He served a year as a soldier. He married at the age of twenty, settled at Dansville where he was a brick maker, later he made bricks at Tuscarora. He was twice married and his two families of children numbered in all thirteen. Mr. and Mrs. Walker, and probably one son. settled in Nunda ( Lot 8), 100 acres, prob- ably in 1824.

1836 AND 1837
The year 1836 is conspicuous by reason of two events-The opening of the Nunda House, and the Canal Celebration.
The Paine brothers William D. and Carlos G., built the large brick hotel that has been from that time to this the largest and generally the best hotel in the town. The bricks for this building were made here. There was a general observance of the day, and the principal citizens partook of their New Year's dinner. In the evening there was a public dance. the first recorded in the his- tory of the town. Dancing was tabooed in those days and while there were plenty willing to attend, there were but few willing to see their names in print as managers. The Paine Brothers issued the invitations, which read as follows : "The company of Mr. is solicited at the Assembly Room of C. Paine in Nunda Valley, on the first day of January, 1836, at 1 P. M. to reciprocate con- gratulation on the approach of the New Year. Managers, L. S. Gilbert, J. Ken- ney, T. J. Burnham, H. Shepard, W. T. Alderman, L. Gould, H. J. Burnham Nunda Valley, December, 1835."
If this had been in 1908 it would have read at 9 P. M., and the guests would have arrived at 10 P. M.
THE CANAL CELEBRATION
The Canal Celebration at Nunda Valley, May 11, 1836, was a much greater affair. The following ode written by the leading young lawyer in town, Addi- son M. Crane, has been preserved. The air-Auld Lang Syne. We may read between the lines the great expectations of the poet and the people, and had the work gone on, and had the canal gone on to Pittsburg instead of stopping near Olean, there would have been a paying canal where now there is-a railroad.
281
Ode sung at the Canal Celebration at Nunda Valley, May 11, 1836.
(Air: Auld Lang Syne. Written by Addison M. Crane.)
I. Let every fear be now forgot Nor ever brought to mind Let every source of joy be sought And leave all fear behind.
2. We come around the festal board To celebrate this day And here we'll join with one accord To drive dull care away.
3- We come to mingle now our joys And tell our triumphs o'er While gladness every tongue employs That was dumb before.
4. The gladsome vale where Genesee In solemn grandure flows Is destined sure. ere long to be As blooming as a rose.
5. And Allegany's prime clad plains Are destined to become The poor man's surest source of gain And build the rich man's home.
6. Then welcome be the gladsome hour And welcome be the day That gave us cause to claim the power To drive dull care away.
7. So then let every fear be gone Nor ever thought of more And so we'll now in union join To tell our triumphs o'er.
8. Let all the friends of the canal Assembled here to-day A token show of their good will And shout a loud hurra !
No doubt they did, and though A. M. Crane was not a great rhymster, he became a great man.
CANAL CONTRACTORS-1834
Calvin B. Lawrence, built the B. F. King-Hammond-Whitcomb house.
The children: Nancy, Martha and George. Mr. L., reared a fine monu- ment at Oakwood when he was wealthy-but died in poverty in the west, even the date of his death is not ( but should be) inscribed on the monument.
Capt. James and wife. Children: 1. Pulaski; 2. William; 3. Louise ; 4. Frankie. The family moved to Detroit where Capt. James laid the first pave- ments in that city. Two children were born in Detroit.
.

£
II. Kate James, married into the Christian family, a family of great wealth.
III. Kate James Christian, married Taylor, and though not a Nunda girl sends yearly, kind remembrances to her grandmother's friends.
Another interesting membeer of this family was Poll Parrot, that the James Bros., educated to say a great many pert things. Nathaniel Coe an ex-Member of Assembly, had also been elected a Justice of the Peace, and was surprised a few days after when passing the James residence, ( now the Baptist parsonage) to hear his name and office announced in a croaking voice, Coe! Coe ! Squire Coe ! Squire Coe took off his hat and gave Polly a low bow, when Polly renewed her salutation with a variation. Coe! Coe! black Coe! This time there was no bow, and suspecting Bill James was serving Polly as prompter the honorable magistrate passed quickly up the street. The parties. however were well introduced, and Polly always hailed the magistrate as he passed, with the same words. The bird had also a speaking acquaintance with two young namesakes of "Good Queen Bess," and when either of them passed he would shout to the amusement of all within hearing, "Lib, Lib! there's a hole in your stocking!" followed by a fiendish laugh.
Parrots weil instructed prove apt scholars and can make themselves inter- esting-to those simply spectators. The James parrot, certainly reflected the breadth of its instructions, but somehow the victims of its wit, would divide their wrath between the bird and the boys, by saying, "that saucy bird! those dreadful boys." But such birds and such boys are the ones longest remem- bered and the Lock builders family including Polly, are not forgotten.
1836
Joseph Ditto, came to Nunda in canal days, and kept canal supplies. H. owned the L. B. Warner place. Massachusetts Street, his sons are well remem- bered. John Ditto, a surveyor, was prominent in school exhibitions at the Nunda Academy, Church Street, and at the Nunda Literary Institute. George Ditto, who left Nunda when only a youth, became a veteran of the Civil War. He visited Nunda with his niece, Mrs. Young, the poetess, daughter of John Ditto, two years ago and remained until after Old-Home-Week.
