Elijah Ellsworth and his son, Orange, came to Fort Covington, abont 1806 or 1807. Elijah and wife were buried at Westville, Frank- lin Co., N. Y.
Orange Ellsworth married Polly Winn, a native of Massachusetts, settled on one of the farms now owned by his son, Chandler. He was a farmer by occupation. He had the following children, viz. : Chand- ler, Allen, Alpheus, Curtis, Mary, Orrilla, and Allena, all born in Fort Covington, N. Y., married, and have families,
Orange died in 1849, and Mrs. Ellsworth died in 1871, in the eighty- fourth year of her age. Both of them were buried at Westville. Chandler Ellsworth worked on his father's farm summers, and at- tended the common school winters, until his majority. He mastered all the branches then taught in the common school. He immediately commenced teaching in his own district, and followed it three winters, at sixteen dollars per month, working on his own land during the snmmers.
He was married, February, 1830, to Sally Ordway, daughter of Jon- athan and Sally Ordway, of Fort Covington. Mr. Ordway was a native of New England, and settled in Fort Covington at an early day. Mrs. Sally Ellsworth was born in May, 1810, in Fort Covington.
To Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth have been born the following children, viz. : Lovina (deceased), Hannibal, Pamelia, Louisa (deceased), Sid- ney, all born on the farm where Mr. Ellsworth now resides. Mrs. Ellsworth was a lady very much respected by her neighbors. She died in April, 1867; and Mr. Ellsworth married for his second wife, May 25, 1868, Mrs. Calista (Fish) Bentley, the widow of Hial Bentley.
Mr. Ellsworth commenced life poor ; bnt by indomitable energy and careful management he has accumulated a handsome fortune. He owns some six hundred acres of the finest land in the town of Fort Covington, on which are built five houses and eight barns, beside sheds, etc. He built his present residence in 1849, a view of which may he seen in this work. He sold goods for twelve years at Fort Covington Centre, and was successful, He owns a large interest in the Farmers' National Bank at Malone, of which he is a director.
In politics he has been a life-long Democrat of the Jeffersonian school. He cast his first presidential vote for Gen. Jackson. He has held all the important offices of his town to the satisfaction of his constituents. He has been commissioner of highways, assessor for sixteen consecu- tive ycars, justice of the peace for twonty-four years in succession, supervisor two terms, twice a candidate for member of Assembly, and twice defeatcd, though he polled more votes than the strength of his ticket. He is now in his seventy-second year, hale and hearty, and retains the vigor of youth. He is emphatically a self-made man. He is honored and respected by those who know him, and few, if any, can show a better or more snceessful career. Hannibal Ellsworth married Sarah J. Merrick, of Fort Covington, and has eight children, viz. : Anson, Etta, Ella, Minnie, Chandler, Ida, Albert, and Lilly. Hannibal is a farmer, and is regarded as one of the best citizens in the town.
Pamelia married Wm. Mccullough, of Westville; Louisa married Solon Storms, and left one son, David; Sidney married Kate MeEach- ren, formerly of Scotland, of whom three children have been born, viz. : William (deceased), Mira B., and Anna. Sidney is an enter- prising young man, and is a farmer on the old homestead.
Mrs. Calista (Fish) Bentley was born April 15, 1821, married Hial Bentley Feb. 24, 1839, and to them were born the following children, viz. : Chas. E., now a farmer in Dickinson ; Wm. H. (deceased), Hial E. (deceased), and Thusa E. Mr. Bentley was a merchant and hotel- keeper for many years in Bangor. He died Dee. 7, 1859. Wm.

TOWN OF FORT COVINGTON.
sented to the society by W. L. Manning, where the repaired building now stands. A bell was also purchased by him and presented to the church, which, in consequence of an im- perfection, was exchanged for the present one. Also the town clock, in connection with the bell, was largely the result of the same benevolent heart.
The following ministers have been sent out from this charge, now preaching mostly within the bounds of the Northern New York Conference : Thomas Richey, Horace M. Danforth, Stanley F. Danforth, Albert C. Danforth, James Stowell, Alexander Stowell, Samuel Shert, D. W. Thomas (missionary to India).
The following is a list of pastors who have served this church from its organization to the present time : Arzu J. Phelps, John Sawyer, Wm. Chase, - Kilpatrick, Wm. Vandercook, David B.

FORT COVINGTON ACADEMY.
The Fort Covington Academy was incorporated April 21, 1831. Wm. Hogan, John A. Savage, Samuel Hoard, and their associates, were to constitute a body politic for the promotion of literature, science, and the arts, and for improvement in education. Capital limited to $2000, in shares of $25 cach. The corporation was to be man- aged by nineteen trustees, and Wm. Hogan, John A. Savage, Samuel Hoard, Hiram Safford, Jonathan Wallace, Allen Lincoln, George A. Cheeney, Roswell Bates, Jabez Parkhurst, George B. R. Gove, Luther Danforth, David L. Seymour, Aretus M. Hitchcock, Benj. Raymond, James P. Wills, Ora F. Paddock, Daniel Noble, Daniel Phelps, and John Moore were named first. It was made subject to the visitation of the regents, and entitled to a share of the literature fund. The trustees met and organized in May, and, to raise the required capital, proposed to take notes of those who wished to hold stock, leaving the princi- pal in the hands of those who gave them, and receiving the interest only. In default of payment the whole became due. By this means $2985 was raised by forty-five notes, and by a resolution of September 2d of that year the upper room in the town-house was fitted up for academical pur- poses. In October the Rev. John A. Savage was appointed principal. His successors have been Alexander W. Buel, Daniel Branch, Milton Bradley, HI. Dodge, E. II. Squier, Mr. Millar, John Bradshaw, James C. Spencer, C. S. San- ford, Luther Humphrey, and George A. Attwood. In 1831 a quantity of apparatus was purchased by the academy and village lyceum for their common use, and in the summer of
1832 a stone edifice was built by permission granted by the Legislature April 13, 1832, on a public lot between the two roads in the village. The academy is now in a prosperous condition, and deservedly ranks among the best schools in this section of the State.
