Eliam E., son of Benjamin Barney and of Union Academy, graduated from Union College class of 1831. To the untiring en- ergy and integrity of his father he added thorough scholarship, business methods and bold adventure, that gave him success in every enterprise he undertook. whether in literature or manufactures. He was princi- pal of Lowville Academy for a few years, when he was called to a professorship in Dennison University, and was thence called to a new enterprise-to organize and equip the Dayton (O.)Academy.

Edmund, Jesse and Josiah, the fifth in descent from the above, were of Revolu- tionary stock-their father, Edmund, having served in that war, in Captain Amos Lin- coln's company of Crafts artillery. In the year 1805, Edmund and Jesse moved from Vermont to Ellisburgh with an ox team. They came by the way of Rome and Redfield, the journey taking them three weeks, reaching Ellisburgh near where now stands the village of Belleville, on March 17, 1805. Edmund was a Baptist minister.

He died in 1832 Jesse Littlefield, Jr., son of the above, came with his father's family from Vermont when but a lad of seven. When he was 16 he was at the battle of Sandy creek, and assisted in carrying the cable to Sackets Harbor.

For 13 years of that time he was postmaster, and for three years overseer of the poor. He was also jus-

tice of the peace for two years, refusing to serve longer in that office. He has been a trustee and treasurer of Union Academy for many years, and also a trustee of the endow- ment fund.
