ning,1 and dairying constitute the employments of the people. Forestburgh (p.o.) contains 10 houses, Oakland 15, and Hartwood 10. Settlement eommeneed before the Revolution, and reeommenced in 1795 on the Mongaup River. Zephaniah and Luther Drake were pioneers in the s. w. part of the town, and Elisha Smith near Oakland.2 Rev. Isaac Thomas (Meth.) was the first preacher.3
FREMONT-was formed from Callieoon, Nov. 1, 1851, and named in honor of John C. Fremont. It lies in the extreme w. part of the eo., upon the bank of the Delaware. Its surface is broken and hilly, the summits rising 600 to 1000 feet above the valley and 1500 to 1800 feet above tide. Its waters are Basket and Hawkins Creeks, a great number of smaller streams, and numerous small lakes, the principal of which are Long Pond, Round and Basket Ponds in the N., Lox Pond in the E., and Trout Pond near the eenter. A large share of the surface is still a wilder- ness and is too rough for tillage. Tanning and lumbering form the principal employments of the people. Fremont Center (p. v.) contains 141 inhabitants, and Obernburglı (Fremont p. o.) 20 houses. Long Eddy (p. o.) is the Basket Station on the N. Y. & E. R. R. Han- kins is a station on the same R. R. The first settlers were Joseph Green, at Long Eddy, John Hankins, at Hankins Depot, Benj. Misner, at Long Pond, and Zach. Ferdon, at Round Pond.4
HIIGHILAND-was formed from Lumberland, Dec. 17, 1853. It is an interior town, lying in the s. part of the eo. It is named from the character of its surface, which consists of high ridges between Delaware and Mongaup Rivers, 600 to 1,000 feet above the canal at Barryville and 1,200 to 1,600 feet above tide. There are a great number of small lakes in town, the principal of which are Washington and Wells Ponds on the N. line, Mud and Hagan Ponds in the E., York Pond in the s. w., Washington Pond, used as a eanal feeder, and Blind, Little, and Montgomery Ponds near the eenter. The people are chiefly engaged in lumbering and the rudiments of farm- ing. Barryville, (p. v.,) a canal village, contains 25 houses, and Lumberland (p. v.) 15. The first settler was John Barnes, who located at Narrow Falls.5 Rev. Isaac Sargent (Cong.) was the first preacher, about 1797.6 The battle of Neversink, in the Revolution, took place within the limits of this town.7
LIBERTY-was formed from Lumberland, Mareh 13, 1807, and Callicoon and a part of Thompson were taken off in 1842. It lies N. of the center of the co., upon the watershed between the Mongaup and Beaver Kil. Its surface is rough and broken. Walnut Hill, s. of Liberty, is 2,000, and Libertyville 1,467, feet above tide. The N. and w. parts of the town are still covered with forests. The principal sheets of water are Lillie Pond in the N., and Broadhead Pond near the center. The soil is good, but stony; and the people are chicfly engaged in lumbering, dairying, and tanning.8 Liberty (p. v.) contains 364 inhabitants, Parksville (p. v.) 40 houses, and Liberty Falls (p. v.) 25. Robertsonville and Stevensville are p. offiees.

7 This battle took place on the N. side of Beaver Brook, on lot 17 of the 7th div. of the Neversink Patent. The scene of the action is the top of a hill 3 miles fromn Barryville and half a mile x. w. from Dry Brook. The battle took place between a party of tories and Indians, under Brant,-who were retreat- ing. after having destroyed the settlement of Neversink,-and a party of American militia, who pursued them. The battle was
long and bloody, and resulted in the retreat of the Americans with the loss of 44 killed. In 1822 the hones of the slain were collected and interred beneath a monument at Goshen. An ad- dress was delivered on the occasion by Gen. Hatbern, who bad taken a leading part in the engagement.

broken, and much of it is yet a wilderness. The name of the town still suggests the leading pur- suit of the people. A large number of small lakes, with their outlets, form the principal waters. The principal of these lakes are Lebanon Pond in the N., Round, Sand, and IIogais Ponds in the w., and Long Pond in the center. Metauques Pond, in the E., lies about 2 mi. w. of the Mongaup, and 300 feet above it. On its outlet is a beautiful eascade. Mongaup and Pond Eddy are p. offices. There is but one church, (M. E.) The Delaware & Hudsou Canal extends through the town along the course of the river. It is supposed that settlement was commenced before the Revolution ; but the names of the first settlers are not preserved.1 In the survey of the Minisink Patent by Charles Webb in 1762, mention is made of "Reeve's Sawmill."2
MAMAKATING,8 said to have been named in honor of an Indian chief, was erected into a precinet by the General Assembly, Dec. 17, 1743, and embraced all the present territory of Sulli- van co. and a portion of Orange. It continued as a precinct until organized as a town, March 7, 1788. It was reduced to its present limits by the erection of Deerpark (Orange co.) aud Lumber- land in 1798, Thompson in 1803, and a part of Forestburgh in 1837. It lies upon the highlands between Neversink and Shawangunk Creeks. Two parallel ridges, separated by the valley of Bashers Kil, extend through the town in a N. E. and s. w. direction. The eastern of these ridges is known as Shawangunk Mt. The declivities of this mountain are gentle upon the E., but abrupt and broken on the w. It attains an elevation of 1100 feet above the summit level of the canal, and about 1700 feet above tide. In the N. w. part of the town is a mountain of nearly equal eleva- tion, known as Panther IIill. The principal streams are Shawangunk, Bashers, and Pine Kils, the last of which is the outlet of a small lake in the w. part of the town, known as Yankee Pond. The summit level of the Delaware & Hudson Canal, 17 mi. long and 525 feet above tide, is con- structed through the valley of Bashers Kil. Masten Pond, in the w. part, is used as a reservoir. About 2 mi. s. of Wurtzboro a vein of lead was discovered several years since, and was worked to a considerable extent. After an abandonment of several years, preparatious are again being made to work it. The soil is a sand and gravel loam, in some places intermixed with clay, and best adapted to pasturage. The census of 1855 shows that this town is second only to Thompson in the amount of dairy products. Bloomingburgh' (p. v.) contaius 365 inhabitants, and Wurtzboro5 (p. v.) 491, Summitville (Mamakating p. o.) 20 houses, and Phillips- port (p. o.) 10; the three last named lie upon the canal. Burlingham (p. v.) contains 130 inhabitants. West Brook ville (p. o.) is a hamlet, and Homowack is a p. o. The carly settlement of this town has already been noticed,6 but most of the details have been lost. On the approach of the Revolution the Indians became hostile, and several blockhouses were erected on the frontiers of Ulster co., Que of which was at Wurtzboro. On account of the distressed con- dition of the people by reason of Indian hostilities, they were favored by the supervisors in the apportionment of taxes. Many persons in those days accounted wealthy were reduced to poverty, and but little that could be destroyed remained on the return of peace. Gonzales, the pioneer settler, is said to have built the first sawmill, at Wurtzboro. In 1792 this town contained 182 taxable persons, of whom 34 were in the present towns of Lumberland, Tusten, and Ilighland. In 179-4, Capt. David Dorrance removed from Windham, Conn., and purchased 1000 aeres imme- diately s. of the site of Wurtzboro.7 John Dorrance, with Elijah Perry, also from Conn., erected the first bark mill in Sullivan co. Rev. Mr. Freleigh was the first pastor of the Ref. Prot. D. Church, built in 1793.8
NEVERSINK9-was formed from Rochester, (Ulster co.,) March 16, 1798. Rockland was taken off in 1809, and a part of Fallsburgh in 1826. The whole town is elevated, and the surface
1 Among the early settlers since the Revolution were John [ mi. This road opened a communication from the Ifollow to Showers and Joshua Knight, at Mongaup. S. Gardner and El- nathan Corey. at Pond Eddy. P. Van Vanken. above Monganp, and John Rinck and Wm. Ryarson, in other parts of the town. The first school was kept in a barn by Mr. Farnham; the first iun was kept by E. Corry, at Pond Eddy.
2 Mr. Well lived at Otisville, (Orange co.,) and died at an ad- rauced age in 1514.
3 Written Mame Kating, Mame-Cotink. &c. in early records. 4 This village was settled by J. Newkirk, about 1780, and was incorp. April 26, 1833. It contains 3 churches, 4 hotels, and 5 stares.
5 Named from Maurice Wurtz, grantee of a canal privilege in Penn .. afterward merged in Del. and Hudson Canal Co. 6 See page 642.
7 A road was constructed at an early day, hy Ananias Sacket, from Mamakating westward. passing about three-fourths of a mi. & of Lords l'ond. and continuing to Nathan Kinne's Flats, from
the Delaware River, a distance of about 33 mi. A portion of it is still in use. but the greater part was taken up by the Newburgh & Cochecton Turnpike. The village of Wartzboro is built upon a tract of 1000 acres bought by Johannes Masten, who cleared the land and erected a sawmill. Westbrookville (formerly " Bashshusrille") was settled about the same time, and the first house was built of stone and used as a fort to shelter the set- tlers. Mr. Felton was a pioneer near Burlingham, and J. New- kirk at Bloomingburgh. The carly town records have been lost. The first school was kept at Bloomingburgh in 1784, by Mr. Campbell. Wm. Ilarlow kept the first inn, 2 mi. & of Blooming- burgh; Wm. Wighton opened the first store, I mi. s. of the same place; and HI. New kirk built the first gristmill, on the Shawan- gunk, within this town.

is very hilly and to a considerable degree covered with forests. It is watered by the Neversink and its branches, and by the Lackawack, or w. branch of the Rondout, which flows to the Hudson. Denman Hill, 3300 feet, and Thunder IIill, 2500, above tide, are the principal elevations: the latter received its name from the fact that one of the early settlers was frightened away from the place by loud thunder. The soil is generally a gravelly loam, and best adapted to pasturage. The people are chiefly engaged in lumbering, tanning,1 and dairying. Graliamsville? (p. v.) contains 40 houses, Neversink Flats (Neversink p. o.) 35, and Claryville (p. v.) 30. The first settle- ment was commenced on the Lackawaek, 2 mi. below Grahamsville, by the Ilornbecks, Clines, Clearwaters, and Lowes, who obtained an Indian title in 1743, and were driven off during the Revolution. Mr. Larrabee, on Thunder IIill, and Benj. Gillett, John IIall, and Wm. Parks, on the 1000 acre lot, were the pioneer settlers after the war.' The first church (Meth.) was located at Grahamsville; and the first preacher was Rev. Samuel M. Knapp.4
ROCKLAND-was formed from Neversink, March 29, 1809. It lies upon the headwaters of the Popacton, or E. branch of the Delaware, in the extreme N. part of the co. It is a rough, wild region, very hilly and mostly covered with forests. Its principal streams are Beaver Kil and Williwemack Creek. A chain of small lakes extends through the town, the principal of which are Upper, Mongaup, and Ilodge Ponds in the E., Big and North Ponds in the s. E., Shaw Pond in the s., Burnt Ilill and Jenkins Ponds in the w., and Sand, Mud, and Knapp Ponds in the center. Lumbering, farming, and tanning5 are the principal pursuits of the people. Westfield Flats (Rockland p. o.) contains 28 houses, and Morsston (p. v.) about 12. Beaver Kill, Purvis, and Shin Creek are p. offices. Settlement was begun in 1789, by two families named Stewart and West, from Middletown, Conn .; they located near the middle of the Big Beaver Kil Flat.6 Rev. Mr. Conkey (Meth.) was the first preacher.7
THOMPSON-was formed from Mamakating, March 9, 1803, and named in honor of Wm. A. Thompson, first judge of the co. A part of Fallsburgh was taken off in 1826, and a part of Forest- burgh in 1837. It lies principally upon the highlands between Neversink and Mongaup Rivers, and is less hilly than most of the towns of the co. The hills rise 100 to 300 feet above Monticello. Neversink and Mongaup Rivers, with several small lakes and streams, constitute the waters of the town. Kiamesha, or " Clearwater," better known as Pleasant Pond, is a beautiful little lake near Monticello. The other principal ponds are Dutch in the N. E., Lords and Mud in the E., Wolf in the S. E., and Saekets (named from Ananias Sacket, an early settler near it) in the s. w. The quiet scenery of these lakes is becoming appreciated by the lovers of nature and those seeking a retreat from the heat and dust of cities in summer. The soil is a reddish loam. The people are principally engaged in stock raising, lumbering, and tanning.8 Monticello,9 (p. v., ) the principal village, was incorp. April 20, 1830. Pop. 629. It is beautifully situated upon a ridge of highlands 1387 feet above tide, and is surrounded by hills. It is finely laid out, the main street being 1 mi. long and 8 rods wide, with flagged walks and ornamented with shade trees. It contains a courthouse, jail, co. clerk's and surrogate offices, and a banking house, all of stone; 3 churches, the Monticello Academy, 3 hotels, 10 stores, 3 printing offices, and an iron foundery. Thompsonville (p. v.) and Bridgeville (p. v.) cach contain about a dozen houses. Gales and Glen Wild are p. offices. The first settlers were Wm. A. Thompson, John Knapp, and Timothy Childs, at Thompsonville.10 Rev. John Boyd (Presb.) was the first preacher.11
TUSTEN-was formed from Lumberland, Dec. 17, 1853, and was named in honor of Col.
others to he so named because the stream is less affected by drought than others.
1 Abont 95,000 sides of leather are manufactured each year. 2 Named in honor of Lieut. Graham, who was killed in a skirmish with the Indians near the present site of the village.

Benjamin Tusten, who was killed in the battle of Minisink, in 1779.1 This town lies upon the N bank of Delaware River. The w. and s. parts are very hilly, and the E. portions belong to the plateau of rolling lands which comprises the greater part of Tusten, Highland, and Lumberland. The average height of this region is about 750 feet above the Delaware, or 1400 fect above tide. The principal streams are Ten Mile River and its branches: Half Moon and Mill Ponds in the E., and Mill, Davis, and Canfield Ponds in the center, are the principal shects of water. The soil is a gravelly loam, and best adapted to pasturagc. The people are generally engaged in farming and lumbering. Narrowsburgh, (p. v.,) containing about 35 houses, is the only village. It derives its name from the fact that the Delaware is here compressed by two points of rock into a deep, narrow channel. Over this is a wooden bridge, with a single span of 184 feet.2 The place is known to lum- bermen by the name of " Big Eddy." Below the narrows the river expands into a wide basin, which in time of a freshet exhibits a stirring seene. Delaware Bridge and Beaver Brook are p. offices. John Moore kept the first inn and store, and R. Moore built the first mill. The Baptist is the only church in town.

TIOGA COUNTY.
THIS county was formed from Montgomery, Feb. 16, 1791. A part JOGA of Chenango was taken off in 1798; Broome in 1806; a part of Tompkins in 1822; and Chemung in 1836. It lies near the center of the s. border of the State, centrally distant 135 mi. from Albany,. and contains 542 sq. mi. Its surface is broken by a series of ridges extending northerly through the co. from the Penn. line and form- S ing a northerly continuation of the Allegany Mts. The summits of these ridges have a nearly uniform elevation of 1,200 to 1,400 ft. above tide. The valley of the Susquehanna euts them diagonally and breaks the continuity of the general system of highlands. Numerous lateral valleys extend in a general N. and s. direction from the river, separating the ridges and giving a great variety to the surface. These valleys vary in width from a few rods to a mile and sometimes more, and are generally bordered by steep declivities which rise 250 to 400 ft. above them. The summits of the hills are generally broad and rolling, and in some places are broken and rocky.
