Mr. Bolyne by drowning in 1795, the French families scattered and few remained to carry on the settlement.
(I) Captain Joseph Juliand was born in Lyons, France, January 17, 1749. In his early life he received a good academic education. His father intended that he should devote him- self to the medical profession and he studied medicine for a time, acquiring such a general knowledge of the subject as to stand him in good stead in later life, both as commander of a vessel and as a pioneer in a new country. Being a man of great energy of character. bold and venturesome, he abandoned the study of medicine and followed the sea. He passed through all the grades and while yet a young man became a master mariner and command- ed a merchant vessel. He made several voy- ages across the Atlantic, sailing between Nantes and Bordeaux in France, and Boston and Phil- adelphia in the United States. While in this country he took occasion to travel in the inter- ior and mingled freely with the people, losing no opportunity to improve his knowledge of the English language and of the manners and customs of the country. On one of his voy- ages he was staying for a time near New Haven, Connecticut, and met the woman he married, Hannah Lindsley, daughter of a re- spectable farmer. This marriage doubtless changed his plans materially, for after closing out his interests he abandoned the sea and de- cided to make his home in this country. His decision may have been influenced also by the political disturbances in his native land. His own native city of Lyons was torn by the strife of civil war during the dreadful French revolution. Soon after his marriage in 1788 he removed to a farm near Greenfield, Massa- chusetts, where he resided for several years. Having heard of the French colony mentioned above and being urged to locate there, he de- cided to join the French settlers and set out with his wife, two children, and household goods through the wilderness to make his home in Chenango county, New York. He expect- ed to find good land and congenial society. In 1798 he joined the colonists at Greene, leaving his family in that part of the town which is now Coventry while he set to work to build a house and clear his land. Several families had already left the town and others were pre- paring to seek homes elsewhere, but Captain Juliand was not discouraged. He bought the land that others had abandoned, including the
town plot. To him and Judge Elisha Smith must be given, history tells us, the credit for permanently settling the town of Greene. He lived there the remainder of his days and rear- ed a family of five sons and one daughter. After living many years to enjoy the fruits of his enterprise and to witness the improvement and prosperity of the country, he died October 13, 1821, in the seventy-third year of his age. Captain Juliand was a man of medium stature. He possessed, however, remarkable energy and vivacity, shrewd common sense and character- istic French courtesy of manner. He was charitable, giving his time, sympathy and money freely to the poor and unfortunate, and lie fought earnestly and always against the spirit of intolerance and oppression.
His wife, Hannah (Lindsley) Juliand, was born in Guilford, Connecticut, January 27. 1703, died at Greene, New York, April 11, 1851. Children: Richard W., born March 8, 1790, in Greenfield; Martha, September 13, 1792, in Greenfield ; Joseph, mentioned below ; Lewis, August 31, 1800: George, March 23, 1803: Frederick, mentioned below.
(11) Joseph (2), son of Captain Joseph (I) Juliand, was born in Greene, New York, Feb- rnary 23, 1797, died in Greene, February 13, 1870. He was educated in the public schools of his native town. Early in life he became a general merchant and until 1839 was in part- nership with his four brothers. They were also dealers in cattle and live stock. After that time he conducted the store alone. In 1859 he established a banking business and he continued in this business until the time of his death. The bank is still known as the Juliand Bank. He was a shrewd and success- ful man of affairs. In politics he was a Whig until that party was dissolved, and afterward a Republican and a leader in the new party. He was elected to the New York state assem- bly and served in 1827 and again in 1834, and during his term was one of the prime movers in securing the building of the Chenango canal. He was active in the state militia and became colonel of his regiment and afterward was universally known as Colonel Juliand. He was a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church, and one of the founders of the church in Greene and warden for many years, holding that office from the founding of the church until he died.
He married, October 15, 1822, Anna Maria Perkins, born May 6, 1804, died May 1, 1860,

(II) Frederick, son of Captain Joseph (1) Juliand, was born at Greene, October 9. 1805. He received his early education in the district schools, and at the academy at Utica, New York, then a noted institution, and at Oxford Academy under Dr. David L. Prentice. After- ward he studied under the tutorship of Rev. John B. Hoyt, of Greene. He began his busi- ness life in the employ of Hill & Juliand, hotel proprietors. Afterward he was a clerk in the store of Colonel Moses G. Benjamin, then a prominent merchant in Bainbridge, New York, residing in the family of his employer and re- ceiving as wages for the first year the sum of fifty dollars and an increase of ten dollars a year after the first year. In the fourth year he received a stipend of fifteen dollars a month. In 1830 Mr. Juliand entered into partnership with his brothers. Joseph, Lewis and George Juliand, under the firm name of J. Juliand & Brothers in the conduct of general farming and a general store, and the firm had a pros- perous existence of ten years. When the firmi was dissolved, Frederick Juliand continued the store as sole proprietor. In 1860 he trans- ferred the business to his son, John R. Juliand, who continued it until 1866.
In religion Mr. Juliand was an Episco- palian. He was baptized at the age of four years in that church at Bradford. Connecti- cut, and confirmed by Bishop Onderdonk on the occasion of the last visit of the bishop to this diocese. For twenty-five years Mr. Juliand was superintendent of the Sunday school, and from 1873 he was junior warden. In early life he was a Whig and his first vote for president was cast for John Quincy Adams. He was punctilious in performing his simple duties of citizenship, and during a long life rarely missed voting at an election. When the Republican party was organized he joined it and continued to support its candidates all his life. Just before the civil war he was interest- ed in the Underground Railroad and gave his hearty support to the anti-slavery movement. He was a lifelong supporter of the temperance movement. The first office held by Mr. Juli- and was that of postmaster of Greene, receiv- ing his commission from the hand of Presi-
dent Harrison and serving through the Tyler administration. He was elected on the Whig ticket to the state assembly in 1855 and served in the session of 1856 on the committee on banks. In the fall of 1863 he was nominated for state senator on the Republican ticket from the Twenty-third district comprising Chenan- go, Madison and Cortland counties, and was elected by a plurality of 5,450. In the senate he was appointed chairman of the committee on public printing, member of the committee on banks, roads and bridges and poor laws. He was an efficient and able legislator and ex- erted a large influence in the legislature. In the fall of 1866 he was again nominated for the assembly, against his expressed wishes, and was elected by a majority of 1,608, the largest given to any candidate on the ticket with him. He served in the session of 1867 as chairman of the committee on towns and coun- ties and member of the committee on banks He was reelected the following year, and al- though his party was in the minority he was honored with an appointment upon his old committee, that of towns and counties, and was on the important sub-committee of the whole. In 1862 and again in 1866 he was a member of the Republican state committee. He was appointed one of the incorporators of the State Soldier's Home at Bath and a trus- tee of the State Inebriate Asylum at Bingham- ton. During the civil war he gave strong sup- port to the Union, contributing money, aiding the families of absent soldiers and encouraging enlistments. In 1862 he served on a commit- tee from the Twenty-third senatorial district to raise troops and aided effectively in putting the One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment in the field. In the summer of 1864 he went to the front with funds from the town of Greene. and on his way to North Carolina the steamer on which he was a passenger was attacked by guerillas. He was robbed of all his valuables. including the $6,000 he was carrying to the recruiting agent. Through the influence of a friend, he and Major Jenny, of Syracuse, were paroled, but the remainder of the captives were sent to a rebel prison and half of them died.

Immediately after he graduated he became a clerk in his father's bank. After the death of his father he formed a partnership under the name of Russell & Juliand, with his brother-in-law, and since then this firm has conducted the Juliand Bank with marked success. In 1893 the business was re- organized under a state charter under the name of the Juliand Bank and Mr. Juliand has been president of the bank since that time.

ability and activity; was a man of unusual powers of mind, "of great energy and skill in the management of affairs and of singular sagacity, acumen, and quickness of perception." Hle left a large estate. He was involved in a lawsuit over the ownership of the Bishop farm, and his side of the controversy was successful. During the trouble over the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Bayley, he was an opponent, but when Mr. Bayley was dismissed, he was one of those who contributed land, May 6, 1680, to make a farm for him. He had the rank of lieutenant, and was one of the four messengers to Rev. Sam- uel Parris to obtain his reply to their call. As the head of the large and influential Putnam family, he was known for years as "Landlord Putnam." He was a leader in the witchcraft delusion which had its centre in Salem and Salem Village, where he lived. Upham says of him: "Entire confidence was felt by all in his judgment and deservedly, but he was a strong religionist, a lifelong member of the church, and extremely zealous in his ecclesi- astical relations. He was getting to be an old man (at the time of the delusion), and Mr. Parris bad wholly succeeded in obtaining for the time the possession of his feelings, sym- pathies and zeal, in the management of the church, and secured his full cooperation in the witchcraft prosecutions. He had been led by Parris to take the very front of the proceed- ings. But even Nathaniel Putnam could not stand by in silence and see Rebecca Nurse sacrificed."

He was known as "Carolina John," and as John Putnam Jr. He was constable of Salem during the witch- craft trials. At one time, Mercy Lewis, one of the "afflicted girls," had been living at his house as a servant, and in May, 1692, he testi- fied, apparently in good faith, as to a fit she had when bewitched. A week after the ordi- nation of the Rev. Joseph Green, a church
meeting was held at John Putnam's house in 1698, and several of the wronged members of the church again met with the majority and all agreed to live in "love together." John Put- nam was frequently tythingman, surveyor of highways, and served in other town offices. His will was dated November 30, 1721, and proved October 1, 1722.
