* In August, 1790, Oliver Phelps, who was then in the Genesee conn- try, wrote to Nathaniel Gorham, at Boston, giving a somewhat discour- aging acount of the almost universal prevalence of disease among the new settlers. He says : "We have suffered much for the want of a physician ; Atwater [referring to Dr. Moses Atwater, who settled in Canandaigua early in 1791] has not yet arrived ; we have now a gentleman from Pennsyl- vania attending on the sick who seems to understand his business. The two Wadsworths, who came from Durham, have been very sick, are now recovering, but are low spirited ; they like the country, but their sickness has discouraged them," Pioneer History of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase, 143.

JONATHAN MUNTER MAYNES.
J. H. Haynes was born in the town of Ceneseo, Oct. 27, 1809. His parents were John and Eliza- beth (Teeple) Haynes, both of whom were born in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, the former August 17, 1787, and the latter March 12, 1788. John Haynes came into the town of Geneseo, in 1792, with his parents, James and Isabel Haynes. The former died soon after settling here and the latter married for her second husband, Benjamin Wynn, and died April 24, 1853, aged eighty-four years. For several years after his father's death, John remained at home, working for his step-father on the farm and by the day for neighboring farmers. January 26, 1809, he was married to Elizabeth l'eeple, and commenced house-keeping on the Wynn farın in a tenant-house, and here Jonathan H. was born. He remained here but a short time, having purchased eighty acres of what is now known as the Haynes estate, where he built a log-house and moved his family into it in 1812 or '13. He lived there thirty five or forty years, when he bought another farm about one mile and a half north of his old home and removed to that and lived there about twenty years. Becoming aged and infirm, a home with his son Jonathan was offered him and after a residence of about two years with him, he died June 10, 1873. He was for about sixty years a ruling elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Geneseo, and took an active part in the erection of the first church edifice in the eastern part of the town. About fifty years before he died, and during his whole life, he had been an active, earnest and devoted Christian. He was a volunteer in the war of 1812, and marched to the Niagara frontier where he took part in the battle of Lundy's Lane. In character he was honest and industrious, and lived so uprightly that his death was mourned as a pub- lic loss. His wife was also a member of the l'res- byterian church many years, and died Sept. 1,

1868. They had six children, viz :- Jonathan H. born as before stated, Anna born June 23, 1811, died Feb. 22, 1863 ; James born May 2, 1813, died March, 13, 1856; Margaret born July 3, 1815, died in August, 1868; Harriet, born March 23, 1823, married to Abraham H. Williams, of Li- vonia, and is now residing in Dakota; Sally W. Haynes, boru Sept. 11, 1817, now living with her sister in Dakota. Jonathan H. lived at home with his parents until he was twenty-five years of age, working on the farm and attending the dis- trict school in the winter.
January 26, 1834, he was married to Mary, daughter of Arthur and Agnes (Sinclair) Price of Livonia, who was born Dec. 4, 1812, and died April 12, 1866. By her he had three children named as follows :- Elizabeth M., born Jan 2, 1839, and married to Templeton R. Sinclair, of Geneseo ; Emma R., born Oct. 6, 1842, and mar- ried to Dr. M. C. Rowland, of Geneseo, and Luella A. V. N., born Dec. 4, 1858, and residing at home.
January 20, 1870, Mr. Haynes married for his second wife, Margaret S., daughter of James and Elizabeth Finney, of Northumberland county, Pa. She was born August 29, 1831. Mr. Haynes has been a member of the Presbyterian church at Lakeville, for nearly forty years, and has been a deacon in the same fifteen years. In politics he is a Republican, uniting with that party when it was formed. He has been a hard working and perse- vering man. The training he received during his minority on his father's farm, and his natural en- ergy and determination admirably fitted him to fight the battle of life, and being more successful than many he has become one of the prominent agriculturists of his town. Through all the vicis- situdes of a long and busy life, he has maintained a character for honesty and integrity of purpose that every one who knows him admires.

GENESEO- EARLY SETTLERS.
William Wadsworth, who, as we have said, early interested himself in military affairs, early rose to the rank of Major-General of militia, a title which at that time conferred on its possessor no little dis- tinction. He held the first training in the Gene- see country at Pitt's Flats, which was for many years a training ground. He promptly tendered his services during the war of 1812; and at the battle of Queenstown, after the wounding of Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer, the immediate command devolved upon him. "He acquitted himself with honor," says Turner, "and won even something of laurels, upon a badly selected and generally un- fortunate battle-field, where they were scarce and hard to acquire." He died March 8, 1833, aged sixty-seven, having willed his interest in the estate to the children of his brother James, upon whom its management then solely devolved.
William Wadsworth was for twenty-one years the Supervisor of Geneseo.
James Wadsworth died at his residence in Gene- seo, June 7, 1844, leaving two sons and two daugh- ters :- James Samuel, Wm Wolcott, Harriet, (who became the wife of Martin Brimmer, of Boston, at one time Mayor of that city,) and Elizabeth, who married in Scotland, Charles Augustus Murray, sec- ond son of the Earl of Dunmore, and nephew of the Duke of Hamilton. William, who was born July 7, 1810, died with clouded intellect July 21, 1852, leaving three sons, one of whom-Austin- resides on the homestead farm in Geneseo.
James S. Wadsworth was born in Geneseo, Octo- ber 30, 1807. His early education was received in the common schools of his native village. He was for a short time at Hamilton College; after- wards at Harvard, and subsequently a law student at Yale. He was for awhile in the law office of Daniel Webster, at Boston, and afterward in that of Mckeon & Deniston, at Albany. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1833, but never engaged in the practice of his profession, as the management of the family estate afforded him sufficient occupa- tion, and after the death of his father, three-fourths of the estate-that portion belonging to himself and sisters-devolved wholly on him, the other fourth being owned and managed by his younger brother. In 1834, he married Mary Craig Whar- ton, daughter of John Wharton, of Philadelphia ; and after a tour in Europe, made his residence at the paternal estate, and erected in the summer of 1836 the fine mansion now occupied by his young- est son-James-a little north of the village of Geneseo.
He soon distinguished himself by his devotion to agriculture, supplementing the efficient labors of his father and uncle. "Probably no agricultural property in the country, so extensive in domain," says Hon. Lewis F. Allen, "had been arranged into a better division of individual farms, and their husbandry directed with more systematic economy on the part of the landlords than those of the Wadsworths. The soils were applied to those crops most congenial to their natures, and which yielded the most profit on their outlay."* He earnestly cooperated with every effort to improve the condition of agriculture, both in this vicinity and the State at large, and was active in the circu- lation of agricultural literature.
The State Agricultural Society having been re- organized in 1841, in January, 1842, he was unan- imously chosen its President, an office to which he was elected the following year. He also took an active interest in his own county society, and vigor- ously aided its efforts to improve the husbandry of this vicinity. He imported from abroad choice breeds of farm stock, and encouraged the intro- duction of new and economical inventions in labor- saving implements. His influence, always active, was persistent and beneficial throughout. The State recognized his position and services by his appointment May 4, 1844, as Regent of the Uni- versity. In 1856 he was Presidential Elector at Large, and in 1860, he was again elected a mem- ber of the Electoral College. In 1862 he was the Republican nominee for Governor of this State, an honor he had declined in 1848 and 1860.
Mr. Wadsworth was appointed by the Legisla- ture a member of the fruitless Peace Congress which met in Washington in February, 1861, and while he earnestly sought to avert a resort to arms, he firmly opposed all truckling compromises. When the first rush of the conflict came, he was foremost in support of the National cause .. At the very out- set, when, in April, Washington was separated from communication with the east by the insurrec- tionary movements in Maryland, seeing the straight- ened condition of a small band of Union troops sent to Annapolis, in default of Government sup- plies, he hastened thither by water in charge of two ships, which he had loaded with provisions in New York City at his own expense. t
He early tendered his services to the govern- ment, and in June, 1861, became a volunteer aid

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
on the staff of Gen. MeDowell, who highly com- mended his conduct in the memorable battle of Bull Run on the 21st of July following, in which he had a horse shot under him. By his courage and energy he retrieved much of the disaster of that ill-starred engagement. August 9, 1861, he was commissioned a Brigadier-General and as- signed to a command in MeClellan's army. In March, 1862, he was appointed Military Governor of Washington, and for nine months performed the arduous duties of that responsible position.
In December, at his own request, he was called into active service, and assigned to the command of the Ist division, Ist corps, then commanded by Gen. Reynolds, with which he participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, in the latter of which the command of Gen. Reynolds sustained the severest part of the conflict the first day. Reynolds was killed in the early part of the action, and his command devolved upon Gen. Wadsworth. The decimation of the army in these engagements necessitated a reduc- tion in the officers, and Gen. Wadsworth, at his own request was relieved from command. He was then sent on a tour of inspection on the Mis- sissippi to report on the condition of the camps of the freedmen and other matters regarding the liberated slaves. Before entering upon these duties, in a conversation with the paymaster who had referred him to a paymaster in New Orleans, who, he said, would make him any required dis- bursements, Gen. Wadsworth said, "I wish my account with the government to be kept by one paymaster only, for it is my purpose at the close of the war, to call on you for an accurate state- ment of all the money I have received from the United States. The amount, whatever it is, I shall give to some permanent institution founded for the relief of disabled soldiers. This is the least invidious way in which I can refuse pay for fighting for my country in her hour of danger.""
Returning to Washington, early in 1864, he was appointed Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners, but was soon after assigned to the com- mand of the 4th division (including the remnant of his old division in Reynolds' corps,) of Warren's corps. He was mortally wounded in the desper- ately fought battle of the Wilderness on the 6th of May, 1864, and died two days afterward in the hands of the enemy, aged 56. His remains were temporarily interred in his family burying ground, by Patrick McCracken, a resident in that vicinity,
and soon after transferred to their present resting place in the family plot in the Temple Hill Cem- etery in Geneseo.
He had three sons and three daughters : Charles, a prominent farmer, now living on the west bank of the Genesee, in York ; Craig Wharton, who died January 1, 1872, aged 31; James, the present State Comptroller ; Harriet, now Mrs Adair, living in Ireland; Nancy, now Mrs. Post, living in New York, and Elizabeth, now Mrs. Rogers, also living in New York. Charles and Craig were in the army during the late war. Charles was attached to the Department of the Gulf, served as Captain under Gen. Banks, and participated in the attack on Port Hudson. After a year of active service, at the call of imperative duties at home, he resigned his com- mand. Craig was for a time attached to General Wadsworth's staff, and afterwards held responsible and hazardous positions with other general officers in various departments till May, 1864, when im- portant domestic duties called him home. He rose to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers.
Besides the Wadsworths the following named persons, heads of families, had settled in the town at the close of 1790: Phineas Bates, Daniel Ross, Henry Brown, Enoch Noble, Nicholas Rosecrantz, David Robb and Nahum Fairbanks. Other early settlers were Benjamin Squier, Joseph W. Law- rence, Deacon Daniel Kelley, Benjamin Winn, William Crossett, Rodman Clark, William, David and Samuel Finley and Horatio Jones.
Benjamin Squier was among the first to come in after the Wadsworths. He was born in Cornwall, Conn., in 1769, and removed to Geneseo in Oc- tober, 1793. He settled on a farm of 400 acres adjoining that of Lemuel B. Jennings on the south, which is now owned in part by the heirs of the late John White and in part by the Wadsworths. He raised a large family and died on that farm Janu- ary 23, 1846, aged 77. Sarah, his wife, was born in Duchess county in 1778, and died in Geneseo village, July 19, 1862, at the advanced age of 84 years.
William Crossett, from Pennsylvania, settled a little south of Geneseo village, on the farm now occupied by his son John. He acquired 400 acres, which at his death he deeded to his sons William and John, children by his last wife.
The elder Crossett died November 27, 1829, aged 66, and Sarah, his wife, June 9, 1823, aged 33. He was a native of Ireland, and embarked to this country soon after the close of the Revolution.

MR. & MRS. JOHN MANBY.
JOHN HANBY.
John Hanby was born in thetown of Geneseo, March 15, 1805. He is the only son of William and Mary (McNeill) Ilanby, the former of whom was born in England, and the latter in the county of Northumberland, Penn. Iler parents were natives of county Antrim, Ireland ; their names were Robert and Jane MeNeill. They were among the first settlers in the town, and bought their farm from Benj. Squires, who got his title from the Wadsworths. The parents of John were married about 1804.
llis father returned to England a short time after his marriage and died there, and Mrs. Hanby soon there- after married Isaac Hall, of Geneseo, by whom she had six children, three sons and three daughters, viz: Eliza- beth, now the wife of Chas. Hazleton, and residing at Lawrence, Mich .; Robert, also in Lawrence, Mich .: Dorothy, who married Walter Smith, of Geneseo, and died about 1850: James Thompson, who died in the spring of 1880: Eli, now living at Kalamazoo. Mich., and Mary Ward, married to Samuel Perkins, of Perkinsville, Steuben county, and now living on the old homestead in Geneseo. The mother died in 1859, aged 78 years. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, of Gen- esco, nearly fifty years. Before she was married she used to attend church in the town of Groveland, at a locality then and now known as Havens' Tavern, eleven miles distant from where she lived, walking the entire distance both ways.
John lived at home with his mother until he was of age, working on the farm and teaming when the latter employment could be found, and attending the district school winters. He worked the farm from the time he was twenty-one nutil he was married in 1830, and two years thereafter. Ile married Margaret M., a daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Scholl) Begole, of Geneseo. Her father was born August 22, 1783, and died July 12, 1861, and her mother was born Dec. 25, 1795, and died Nov. 6, 1873. They had four children : Margaret M., born Nov. 24, 1812: Mary Ann. born Sept. 10, 1815, married to Dwight Webb and now residing in Punxsutawney, Jefferson county, Penn .; Joshına R., born Nov. 19, 1817, residing in Niagara
county, and Samnel, born Feb. 12, 1820, and living in Geneseo.
At the time of his marriage Mr. Hanby moved on the farm on which he still lives, which then contained fifty aeres, (having purchased the same before he was married, ) and occupied a log house fifteen years, until he built and moved into his present comfortable and substantial resi- dence. Having added by purchase from time to time, he now owns four hundred and sixty-fiveacres, all in one body. He has made life a snceess mainly by steady application to the performance of his duties. In all business rela- tions he is honorable and upright. Sociable, hospitable, benevolent and possessed of ennobling Christian virtues, he has won friends and admirers among all classes. In politics Mr. Hanby was formerly a Whig, but since the formation of the Republican party has given a consistent support to the measures and principles of that party. He has maintained a membership of high standing in the First Presbyterian Church of Geneseo for more than forty-five years. His wife is also a member of the same church, having joined it forty-six years ago. Mr. Il. helped to build the brick church in the village of Gene- eseo, giving liberally of his means for that object. 1Te is one of that class of self-made men that we may well desire long to keep with us, and whose worth cannot be over-estimated. The supreme words to be written over his life are sterling fidelity.
There have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hanby seven children who grew to maturity, as follows: William Henry, born Nov. 15, 1832, married Eliza MeComb, and was drowned in Conesus lake Nov. 13, 1874 : Nancy Caro- line, born Jan. 26, 1837, is unmarried and resides in the home of her uncle, the late J. Thompson Hall, of Geneseo; John R., born March 9, 1839, married Augusta Boyden and residing in the town of Geneseo. Hannah C., born July 11, 1840, married Bela Richmond and residing in Lansing, Mich .: Mary S., born April 17, 1842, married George Forsythe and residing at home with her parents : Margaret C., born April 16, 1844, is unmarried and re- sides at home ; Helen L., born Jan. 28, 1848, married to George Williams, of Geneseo, and is now residing in Anburn, N. Y.

GENESEO-EARLY SETTLERS.
Captain Horatio Jones, the noted Indian cap- tive and interpreter, whose history will be given at the close of this chapter, was an early settler in this town. He located on the east bank of the Gene- see, about two and one-half miles south of Geneseo, on the road leading from that village to Leicester. He raised a large family, of whom only one is left, Charles Jones, now residing in Geneseo village. He died in this town August 18, 1836, aged 72, and Elizabeth, his wife, March 4, 1844, aged 66. His brother, Judge John Jones, settled in Leicester.
John P. Ryers purchased 6,000 acres of land in detached lots in this town at an early day, but becoming financially involved he was put upon the limits in New York. There he sent for James Wadsworth, to whom he sold one-half the lands, thus enabling him to acquire the title to the re- maining 3,000 acres, for the sale of which James Wadsworth was made the agent. Mr. Ryers never settled on his lands himself, but cleared up a farm of 200 acres in the east part of the town for his son John, who is now living in Geneseo. The farm, which is known as the Mt. Pleasant farm, is now owned by Aaron Griswold. He erected the pres- ent buildings on that farm.
In the primitive division of Ontario county into districts, Geneseo, the second district, embraced all west of the east line of Pittsford, Mendon and Richmond, a line corresponding very nearly with a line in prolongation of the east line of Spring- water. The first town meeting for that district recorded was held at "Cawnawagus," April 5, 1791, and the following named officers were chosen :-- John Ganson, Supervisor ; David Bullen, Clerk ; Nathan Perry, Gad Wadsworth, Amos Hall, Israel Stone and William Wadsworth, Assessors ; Edward Carney, a surveyor, Collector ; Hill Carney and Jno. Ball, Poormasters ; Isaiah Thompson, Benja- min Gardner, John Lusk, Commissioners of High- ways; Jasper Marvin and Norris Humphrey, Con- stables ; William Rice, Jno. Oelman, Elijah Mor- gan, Philemon Hall and Phineas Bates, Fence Viewers ; Darling Haven, Nicholas Miller, and Henry Brown, Pound Keepers ; Gilbert R. Berry, Clark Peck, Gideon Pitts, Lemuel Jennings, Joseph Morgan, Chauncey Hyde, Aaron Beach and Abner Mighells, Pathmasters. Dr. Moses Atwater, of Canandaigua, was then the Justice.
