The surname Mover is also MOYER spelled Mayer, and is of German origin. In the revolutionary war we find that Henry. Fred, Joseph. Margeris and Peter served in the American army from Tryon county. The family located there be- fore the revolution. Jacob, John and Henry Mover came from Switzerland, and settled apon adjoining farms in the town of Minden.
at what is often called Dutchtown, then Tyron county, afterward Montgomery county, New York. Margeris Moyer lived near them, and is supposed to have been a brother. Peter, Fred and Joseph, of the revolutionary record, who lived in the same section, were of the same family, as no other family of the name was in that section, and were probably also brothers. Following the German custom, sev- eral used the name Henry as a middle name, and it is believed that Henry was the father's name. Whether he came to this country or not is not known. In the first federal census, taken in 1790, we find Henry, mentioned be- low ; David, who had two males over sixteen, one under that age, and four females at Pala- tine town, Montgomery county ; and Joseph, in the same town, with two males overy six- teen, two under that age, and six females. Joseph was the revolutionary soldier, but Da- vid must have been old enough to have been in the war.
Another member of the family, according to the "History of Herkimer County," was Solomon, who settled also at Minden, and died during the revolution. His children, as given in this work, were: Andrew : Solomon S. : Jacob S., born December 18, 1781, served in the war of 1812 at Sacket Harbor, and died June 30, 1871 ; Naney. Solomon was probably also a brother of Jacob, Henry, Jolin, Mar- geris, and perhaps Fred. Joseph and Peter.
(I) Henry Moyer, the first in this country of the line, was born in Switzerland, about 1750, perhaps earlier, and settled at Minden, Montgomery county, before 1775. He was a soldier in the revolution, an ensign in Colonel Campbell's regiment of Tryon county militia, and was wounded in the shoulder at the bat- tle of Stone Arabia. It is said that he was afterward captured by the Indians, taken to Canada, but escaped. He died about 1811 or 1812, and his will was admitted to probate in the surrogate's court of Montgomery county in 1812. In 1790 the census shows he was liv- ing at German Flats, in Montgomery county, and had in his family two males over sixteen and three females. He married three times. and each time had children. Among his chil- dren were: 1. Frederick, born August, 1782. (lied August 1, 1855, grandfather of Fayette E. Mover, of Johnstown, New York. 2.

BURGESS The name Burgess is a title. civil or official. In England the inhabitant of a burgh or borough is a burgess, and the orthography of the name in England is well preserved and may be traced back four centuries.

The estate which he occupied remained in the family for many generations, and in 1863 the cellar of his house could still be seen.

He and his brothers were excellent craftsmen and did much good work in building up this section of the county. Much of the work of Lewis .A. Burgess is still standing.

(1X) James S., son of Lewis .1. Burgess, was born at Marathon, New York, February 24. 1834. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town. At the age of seventeen he began to work in his father's saw mill. At that time the old mill had been in operation for twenty years, and the mill itself was of the old-fashioned style. having an upright saw with pitman and hori- zontal shaft. After a few years in which he learned the business thoroughly, he was ad- mitted to partnership by his father, in July, 1861, under the firm name of Burgess & Son. When the railroad was built the field of opera- tions was greatly enlarged and the facilities of the mill were increased so that much lum- ber was shipped to distant markets. A few years later the father leased his share of the business to Stephen Bouton and retired from active life. Mr. Bouton was succeeded in the firm by Walter A. Brink and the firm name became Burgess & Brink. This firm improved the power of the mill by installing a better water wheel and added further to the plant from time to time. The Taylor saw mill on the east side of the river had been purchased by Burgess & Son in the meantime. After- ward. when Mr. Burgess continued the busi- ness without a partner, he bought the water privilege of the Carley grist mill on the west side of the river. At one time the old mill sawed a million and a half feet of lumber a vear, but in later years the average has been smaller, the entire output finding a local mar- ket. Formerly the mill shipped much rough lumber, whereas in later years the lumber has been finished for building in this section.

The water power never fails and it furnishes power for the electric light company of Mara- thon. The old mill was burned May 16, 1908, and he is now rebuilding a new mill on the old site.

Barden, of Richford, Tioga county, New York, and Catherine ( Judson ) Barden. They had no children. She died November 30, IQII.
