THE HISTORY OF FULTON COUNTY.
THE TOWN OF NORTHAMPTON.
Northampton is the northeastern town of Fulton county, and bears the name of a patent of six thousand acres of land issued, or granted, to Jacob Mase and others, October 17th, 1741. The town is oblong in shape, and contains, according to the last report of the town assessors, 17,332 3-4 acres. Its surface is hilly in the northern part, while the southern portion is somewhat rolling. The Sacondaga river flows in a southeast- erly direction through the eastern half of the town, and when near the line turns gently to the east and northeast, forming in shape the lower end of an oxbow, and flowing off into Saratoga county. The valley of the Sacon- daga is from half a mile to two and a half miles wide. Some portions of the valley are a rich alluvium, and other portions a sandy and gravely loam. The "Sacondaga Vlaie," a marsh occupying several thousand acres, lies mostly in the southern part of this town. The Vlaie creek, formed by the junction of Mayfield and Kennyetto creeks at Summer House Point, runs through this extensive marsh in an easterly direction, and empties into Sacondaga river above Fish House.
The hill portions of the town are covered with forests. only dotted here and there by small clearings, with neat and convenient farm buildings. Other portions can be used only for grazing purposes. Some of the highest hills rise to the height of twelve to fifteen hundred feet above the level of the sea. In the valleys may be seen some of the finest-looking farms in the county, yet the soil is not of that character that would permit the growth of the crops raised in other portions of the county.
This town was formerly a part of Broadalbin, and was taken off Febru- ary ist, 1799. The first town meeting was held May 24th of the same year. This town takes in the whole of some, and parts of other patents and purchases. First is the Northampton patent, after which the town is named. A part of Bergen's purchase is also included. His warrant bears date October 7th, 1785; the tract begins at the northwest corner of the Northampton patent. A portion of Norman Mcleod's grant of 3,000 acres, dated September 29th, 1770, is in this town; also 31 lots of Jere- miah Van Rensselaer's. The Baptist church at Northville is supposed to stand upon Lot No. 4 of this patent. The Sacondaga patent also covers a portion of the southwest part of this town.
EARLY SETTLERS.
Godfrey Shew was the first permanent settler in this town, though ac- cording to tradition and history Sir William Johnson was the first white man who built a house in the town, which he did in 1762.
Soon after the arrival of Mr. Shew who came from Johnstown and settled here on Sir William Johnson's lands at the latter's solicitation , others began prospecting for future residences, and finally located at Fish House. Among those early settlers were John Eikler. I .. and N Servis. Robert Martin, Zebulon Ager, Messrs. Ketchum and Chadwick, Asahel Parkes, John Trumbull. John Roosevelt, John Fay, Alexander St. John and others, who distinguished themselves during the first struggles for the liberties of our country.
Shortly after the Revolution, the early settlers were joined by others in pursuit of lands and homes, some of whom went up the Sacondaga and located at what is now Northville, on the left bank of the river. Zador Sherwood and Samuel Olmsted were the first to go up the river They built their huts in 1988, just below what is now the Northville bridge, at what is known as the old ford, on lands now owned by Captain Aaron C. Slocum. Next came Daniel Lobdell and .a Mr. Bryant, and soon after Thomas Foster, Daniel and Timothy Ressequie, Caleb Lobdell,
John Van Zant, Abram Van Arnam, Nathan Hull, John McNeil, Calvin Young, Adam Olmsted, Cornelius Richardson, Elihu Coleman, Sylvanus Sweet, Robert Palmer, John Randall, Elihu Sprague, Green Wells, Cor- nelius Haring, Felix Porter, John Dennison and others, mostly from New England. The two pioneers, Sherwood and Olmsted, went up the river in a canoe ; the others probably went by land. The early settlers in the northern part of the town, not in the vicinity of Northville, were Daniel Ressequie, Isaac Penny, John Dennison, Justus Olmsted, Garret Van Ness. Aaron Olmsted, Felix Porter, Eli Stone, Jere Olinsted, Zadock Bass, Jeremiah Bass, Paul Hammond, Aaron Case, Matthew Edmunds, Joseph Slocum, Caleb Meeker, Joseph Servis, Timothy Gifford and others.
In the central par tof the town, at or near Denton's Corners, or Osborn's Bridge, the early settlers were, John Esseltyne, John Shoecraft, Elisha Coleman, Joseph Brown, Elisha Foote, Nathaniel Meade, Henry King. Abel Scribner and a few others.
FIRST EVENTS.
The first school-house was in what is now District No. 1. at Fish House. and nearly or quite on the site of the present one.
Thomas Foster built the first grist-mill in the town, on Hunter's creek, in what is now the village of Northville. Mr. Fuller has a mill now upon the same site.
The first clothier's store was also on Hunter's creek, within the corporate limits of Northville. It was built by a Mr. Potter, and long ago went to decay.
The first marriage in the town was that of Alexander St. John and Martha Scribner, in 1798. The first child born in the town was Godfrey Shew. The first death was that of (rideon Olmsted.
The brick store opposite the Osborn House, at Fish House, and built by Hon. John Fay, is probably the oldest brick building in the town, as it was built in 1809. The brick house owned by Mr. Spiers, in North - ville, was built in 1820; and the "Marvin House," at Fish House, in 1-24.
The first frame house, after Sir William's, was built by John Nash, near the outlet of Vlaie creek, in the vicinity of Fish House; also a black . smith shop.
Tradition says that the first log house in the town was built near the south end of Fish House bridge, on the north side of the road, and in after years owned by a Mr. McNutt.
FROM THE RECORDS.
The records of the town are partially lost, but a few interesting items may be gleaned from the remnant accessible.
In 1797, Elijah Sheldon and Calvin Voung are recorded as commis. sioners of highways; and in 1795, Calvin Young, Alexander Murray, and l'eter Hubbell.
In 1795, the first road was laid out, from the bridge at S. P. Corey's, o the best ground, to the Hog's Back, at Hunter's creek. Within the next two years roads were laid out through other parts of the town.
In 1805 it was noted that John Porter be excused from paying a fine for killing deer out of season, and that hogs be free commoners, provided they were sufficiently yoked. The next year, a sufficient yoke was defined as one " in length, the width of the neck above the neck, and half the wuith of the neck below the neck."

BRIDGES IN NORTHAMPTON-OFFICIALS-NORTHVILLE.
The town treasury must have been in a singular condition in 1808, when it was "voted that the money now on hand be put at good double security."
In 1814 $80 was raised for the poor.
In 1813 the first school districts were laid out, eleven in all; now there are fourteen.
In 1817 it was voted that the "supervisors and others should build suitable buildings for the poor," for whom $300 was reported raised.
In 1818 it was voted to allow John Fay $6 for transporting guns and ammunition from this town to Albany.
In 1821 it was "resolved, by a great majority, that the town meeting be held at J. Van Arnam's, near the meeting-house."
In 1826 the supervisor was instructed to vote against the poorhouse system.
BRIDGES.
The Fish House bridge was built in 1818, by Daniel Stewart. The then wide awake spirit of the little hamlet known as Fish House, and the rich farming country lving beyond, together with the prospect of Fish House being one day the great center of trade for this northern region, in- cited the dwellers therein to uise every effort in their power to dize their hopes. The inhabitants petitioned the legislature for and received an ap- propriation of $5,000 for the building of the bridge. To this the citizens added by subscription 8500. The bridge is now in the best possible con- dition, well covered and protected from decay. Before it was built, the Sacondaga was crossed by canve and by fording. During the spring and fall freshets the people were very much inconvenienced, as they could not cross with teams, and many times it was unsafe for canoes. The old ford was from a few rods below where the south end of the bridge now is, to a short distance above the north end. The Vlaie creek was crossed in the same way, at or near it- mouth, a short distance above Fish House.
Northville Bridge, which spans the Stcondaga at Northville, was built in 1860, at a cost of about $2,500, and is as good as new.
