May 5, 1437, and made subject to the visitations of the Regents of the Univer- sty Feb. 5, 1:39, was merged in the public schools in 1868, as the Westnicht Academy dal Inio School No. 1. As an academy it had seasons of prosperity and adversity, hint sinor its unification with the public schools, its influence has steadily extended and ira .Elciency increased, until at present it will compare Bevorably with any An in- institution in the State. The Union School building was erected in 1860. It in constructed of brick and is located near the Ate of the old academy building, witch was removed on the completion of the present structure.

Much has been expended by Gov. ernment in improving the harbor, and building docks and a lighthouse. A portion of the lighthouse is still standing. but is in a useless condition, and the docks. since the completion of the railroad which effectually destroyed its commerce, have been allowed to rot and waste away. Many of the buildings have been torn down and removed, and the streets, once rife with business activity, have, many of them, been fenced in and are covered with grass. The principal occupation of those of the inhabitants who remain, during the summer, is fishing.
A new iron bridge is in process of construction (July, 18:3.) over Chautauqua Creek, in the village of Westfield, and is nearly completed. Its length is 296 feet ; its estimated weight, over 100 tons ; and its cost, $13,000 to $16.000. It consists of two spans, one being 192 feet and the other 103 feet in length.

Settlement was commenced about half a mile west of the vil- lage of Westfield, upon a farm now owned by Wm. Vorce, in 1202. by Col. James McMahan, a native of Northumberland county. Pa. McMahan was a surveyor and first passed through this county in 1795, while in search of an eligible site for a residence npon the lake border. He selected and located a tract of land in Harbor Creek, Erie county, Pa., the farm now owned and occupied in part by Joseph Y. Moorehead, and returned to his home in Northumberland county. The next year he cleared a piece of ground upon this tract, which he sowed to wheat, wud built a log cabin, which stood near the site of the brick residence of Mr. Moorehead, and in 1797 he removed his fam- ily. consisting of his wife and one child, to this wilderness home. In 1802, anticipating the result of a controversy then going on in respect to the title to lands in western Pennsylva- nia, he contracted and occupied early in the spring of that year, the tract in this town as above described .* Having cleared a small tract and planted corn, and erected a log house, he removed his family here in the fall. ITis purchase embraced abont 4.000 acres. James McMahan died at Westfield, Dec. 13. 1>40, aged 76 years. John McMahan, an elder brother of James, purchased lands in the county the year previous to the latter's settlement, (1801) and located near the mouth of Chautaugna Creek in 1803. His purchase embraced the fourth township in the XIV. range of the Holland Co.'s Purchase, con- taining 22,014 acres, at 82.50 per acre. He paid $1,035 down, and was to pay the balance with annual interest in eight in- stallments. He erected saw and grist mills in 1804, about a quarter of a mile above the mouth of the creek. These were doubtless the first mills erected in the county.t John McMa-

ticipated in the actions at Black Rock and Buffalo during the war of 1812. After the war he rose by grade to the rank of General of Militia. Some years after he removed to Mayville, where he died, Sept. 22, 1831, aged 66 years. Edward McHenry, also from Northumberland county, Pa., moved his family to a tract adjoining that of James McMahan in 1802, and his was the first family that settled in the town, as they moved in be- fore McMaban's family removed from Harbor Creek. John McHenry, now living in the town, son of Edward McHenry, was the first white child born in the county. He was born Aug. 28, 1802. Edward MelIenry kept the first inn, at the village, which was long known as Portland > Roads, in 1802. He was drowned the next year after his settlement, by the cap- sizing of a boat in a storm on Lake Erie. He, with two others, had started from the mouth of Chautauqua Creek for Erie, to obtain a supply of provisions. His companions were saved by clinging to the bottom of the boat. This was the first death in the town, and probably the first in the county. The town meetings of the original town of Chautauqua were held at Westfield until, by a strategic movement, a party rallied by Judge Zattu Cushing in the vicinity of Fredonia, then known as Canadaway, succeeded in taking "the town meeting home with them "-an act which led to a division of the town and the formation of the town of Pomfret. The first school in the town was taught by Wm. Murry in 1803. The first marriage was celebrated by James Montgomery and Sarah Taylor, June 30, 1805.
The first Church in the town and county was organized at Westfeld, in 1808. 1.y Rev. John Lindsley, and was of the Presbyterian faith. The organization soon lost its vitality.
