BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
with his own strong arm he foreed a passage up the Susquehanna and Chemung, penetrating the wilds and solitude of the primeval forests, with only here and there an indication of that spirit of in- provement which subsequently became so marked a feature of this beautiful valley. In 1798 Newtown numbered twenty-four houses, with a cash value of about six thousand dollars. He at first car- ried on the business of hatter, his shop standing where Hubbell's furniture store now stands. Soon after he purchased a large tract of land, extending from Main street far above the old family home- stead on Water street. This was the foundation of the wealth that subsequently surrounded his declining years, and afforded every comfort that wealth could procure. Though he bargained for his land at a higher price than many of his neighbors paid, he fulfilled to the letter every part of the contract. The greater portion of his life was devoted to farming pursuits, and to him more than to any other may be attributed the early success of the farming inter- ests in the Chemung valley. Mr. Hoffman was scrupulously hon- est, kind and obliging to the poor, and lenient to those indebted to him. As a friend, kind and true; and as a citizen, faithful to every trust reposed in him. He died July 4th, 1867, nearly ninety years of age, greatly esteemed and lamented, not only by a large circle of relatives, but by the whole community in which he had lived so many years.
JOHN SUFFERN.
Another of the early settlers whose names are held in grateful remembrance by their posterity, is that of JOHN SUFFERN. He was born in the north of Ireland, his ancestors having emigrated from Scotland to escape the persecution that followed the Reform- ation of John Knox. In the seventeenth year of his age he came to America, and after remaining in New York city for a time, came to Chemung County, on horseback, accompanied by a single companion. This journey was made in 1804, through forests in- habited by wild beasts and Indians, through swamps and across streams, with very few indications of civilized life. At Chenango Forks, where Brainard had established a mission among the Indi- ans, was a small tavern, where they met travelers going east, and exchanged letters with them, to their respective friends. On their arrival at Newtown, they put up at a tavern kept by John Davis, at tl.e Ferry, now the corner of Lake and Water streets. After exploring the region, he settled on a lot, where he remained for fifty-three years. Possessing a vigorous constitution, and indomit- able energy, he commenced his labors, and in a few years hal the satisfaction of seeing the wilderness "blossom as the rose." In disposition he was frank and kind hearted, ever ready to lend a

helping hand to the needy and the distressed. His life was an active and useful one, and its close peaceful and happy. His exam- ple is more to be prized than silver and gold, and one to which the rising generation may be pointed, as worthy of their imitation.
REMINISCENCES In the Lives of some of the Early Settlers.
MR. LEBEUS HAMMOND, one of the early settlers of the Chemung Valley, came from Luzerne Co., Peun. In the spring of 1751, he left his home near Wilkesbarre, in search of a horse which had strayed away. He directed his course up the river, about ten miles, to where he had formerly lived. Here he found his horse, as he expected, and after making a bridle of hickory withes, started for home. When within about four miles of his home, he discov- ered several moccasin tracks in the road; fearing that a party of In- diaus were near, he listened for a few minutes and then started off at a brisk trot. He had proceeded but a short distance when two Indians sprang from behind a tree, seized his horse by the bri- dle. and dragged him to the ground. After a short consultation in the Indian language, they led him into the woods and tied him to a tree, with his hands made fast behind him. The Indians then left him for about an hour and then returned with two other prisoners, a Mr. Bennett and his son, with whom Mr. Hammond had con- versed but a short time previous to his capture. They were accom- panied by four other Indians, and immediately commenced their march up the Susquehanna River, compelling Mr. Bennett to carry tlwir baggage. They traveled thirteen miles that evening, and camped in an old building on the bank of the river. The prisoners, weary as they were, and faint and hungry, were compelled to lie down with nothing to eat. Previous to their lying down, an old Indian, who appeared to be their leader, cut three poles, and having compelled the prisoners to lie down, placed the poles across them, and three of the Indians lay down on each end of the poles, to prevent h e escape of the prisoners. Here they remained all night and un- til ten o'clock the next day, when a party of Indians came in canoes

from the opposite side of the river and took them over. When they reached the shore, each'of the prisoners was supplied with a large piece of jerked venison, which was eagerly devoured. They then proceeded up the river, and at night encamped upon its bank, being secured in the same manner as on the previous night. The next morning the march was continued up the river. The melting snow had raised the streams which they were compelled to cross, but still they pressed on, till they reached a creek which the Indians called Mashoppin ; here they killed a deer and carried the meat with them.
The creek was very much swollen, and they were compelled to proceed up the stream some distance before they could cross. Hav- ing crossed, they proceeded down the opposite bank to within half a mile of its junction with the Susquehanna, where they encamped. While they were roasting their venison, the leader of the Indians, who spoke very good English, entered into conversation with Ham- mond, about the war ; asked him if he knew Lieut. Boyd, and on receiving an affirmative answer, brought forward Boyd's sword, saying, " Boyd a brave man, he as good a soldier as ever fought against the red men." This Indian commanded the party which massaered Lieut. B. and his party, only one of whom escaped. Boyd had been sent out by General Sullivan with a scouting party, when he was taken prisoner by the Indians and tortured in the most inhuman manner. Hammond knowing that it would be death to him to express the detestation which he felt at the account, re- strained his wrath, and very soon lay down, secured as he had been on the two previous nights. During the night the wind changed, and it became so cold that the prisoners nearly perished. At day- break the Indians ordered the prisoners to build a fire, and setting one of the Indians to guard, the others lay down and soon fell asleep.
The guard took the head of the deer which they had killed on the previous day, and with a spear held it in the fire to roast, and threw a blanket over his head and shoulders to shield him from the cold. After the prisoners had warmed themselves, they asked permission to go to the creek and wash ; the request was granted. After they had washed, they determined to make an effort to escape, as it was the most favorable opportunity they would probably have. Tode- ceive the oldl Indian who was on guard, Hammond was to place himself on the opposite side of the fire and engage him in earnest conversation, while Bennett and his son were to come up behind the Indian and seize the guns and spears. At a given signal, Ben- nett drove the spear through the body of the old Indian, who leaped across the fire, uttering a most terrific yell. Hammond sprang across the fire, seized a tomahawk and buried it in the brain of the Indian who had commanded the party which massacred Boyd and

his men ; another blow sent a second Indian into the fire ; at a third blow he buried the tomahawk between the shoulders of another, who sprang away with it sticking in his shoulders. Bennett having lost his spear at the commencement of the affray, seized a gun and despatched one of the Indians by beating out his brains with the butt.
Unfortunately three of the guns were empty or not one of the Indians could have escaped. This rendered the boy almost useless, he having made three attempts to shoot, but with an empty gun. One of the Indians escaped unhurt, and another with an ugly gash between his shoulders made by the tomahawk. Gathering up the blankets. guns and sword, they commenced their retreat. They proceeded up the Mashoppin about three miles, where they waded across, taking the boy between them to prevent his being swept away by the stream, which was very high and dangerous to cross. The morning was cold, and they had proceeded but a short distance before their clothes were frozen so stiff that it was with difficulty that they could travel. On their way they kept a considerable dis- tance from the river, being able to travel upon the crust, and at the same time rendering it more difficult to track them. They arrived at home on the evening of the sixth day after their capture, to the great joy of their families and neighbors, having traveled three days without a mouthful of food.
Lieut. Boyd's sword, which Hammond had taken from the Indian, was subsequently presented to Col. John Boyd, brother of the de- ceased.
HION. JOHN G. McDOWELL .- Another whose name is intimately connected with the early history of the County is John G. Me- Dowell. He was born in Chemung, February 27th, 1784. During the active years of his life he was much engaged in public duties, was a member of the State Legislature for several years, and was the first President of the Chemung Canal Bank; a man possessing a strong and energetic mind, a great fund of common sense, and was universally esteemed. His wit and humor made him a universal favorite wherever he went. Many amusing anecdotes are related of him, one of which we find related in the "Reminiscences of the Southern Tier," published in the Knickerbocker Magazine in 1856: "Soon after the New York and Erie Railroad Company commenced operations, the Judge had occasion to visit Binghamton on busi- ness, and took his passage on the railroad. When ready to return home, he took his seat on the train going west, which would pass through Chemung. The Conductor called for the fare, when the Judge handed him the amount required, stating that his destination was Chemung. It seems that some of the employees of the road, in preparing a list of stopping places and rates of fare, not possess- F

ing the love of ancient names which characterized the Judge, had left off the name of Chemung and substituted what to them seemed to sound better, that of Springville. The Conductor had but lately been placed upon this route, and the name of Chemung was as new to him as that of Springville was to the Judge. Looking over his list, he told the Judge there was no such place as Che- :nung. Imagine the surprise of the Judge at this announcement. 'No such place as Chemung! Why, sir, the name of Chemung was known, loved, honored and cherished by the early settlers, who now sleep in its soil, long years ago.' The Conductor asked on which side of Waverly it was located. This made matters much worse. 'Young man, you have much to learn; Chemung was known and had become a part of the history of the country long before Waverly or the New York and Erie Railroad were ever thought of. You had better ask on which side of Chemung Waverly is. Sir, I will teach you and your employers that there is a religion in old names. What right have you to change this loved and honored name, rich in historic associations, for the un- meaning one of Springville? I will have it restored.' He then paid his fare to Elmira, twelve mailes beyond Chemung, which he said should be the place of his arrival and departure until the Erie Railroad Company had learned where Chemung was. It is need- less to say that the energy and perseverance of the Judge soon restored the time-honored Chemung to its appropriate place on the roll."
CAPTAIN DANIEL MCDOWELL, the father of the Judge, settled on the farm known as MeDowell's Flats, upon which the son resided for many years. He was a Scotchman by birth. was taken prison- er at Shawnee by the Indians in 1782, and taken to Niagara, where he was compelled to run the gauntlet. He passed through that terrible ordeal and escaped death, and was subsequently banished to Quebec, where, after remaining in prison for a year, and endur- ing many cruelties, he was liberated. While on his way to Niag- ara as a prisoner, the route lay along the Chemung valley, near the present railroad depot in the town of Chemung. Here his captors halted at a spring to quench their thirst. Capt. MeDowell was so impressed with the beauty of the scene, the broad flats, with here and there patches of corn, and the abundance of wild grapes, pluins and other fruits, that he determined, if ever released, he would settle in this fertile and inviting location. This determin- ation, as we have seen, was carried out. The Indians gave him a name very expressive of his character physically and mentally, Keto, meaning " man of iron."
