town of Whitestown for more than twenty years, and also held a seat in the Legislature of the State. He died Feb. 21, 1805, aged sixty-five years.

Another prominent citizen of the town, and one of its early settlers, was Hon. Thomas R. Gold. He was a law- yer of eminence, and for many years stood at the head of his profession in Central New York. He represented this district in Congress in 1810, '11, '12, '13, '16, and '17, and it was said of him that " he was the last to retire and the first up in the morning." From 1796 to 1800 lie was in the State Senate, and in the latter year was chosen as member of the Council of Appointment. At the crection of the Presbyterian Church at Whitesboro', in 1803, it became necessary to level the ground around it, and Mr. Gold drove the oxen attached to the plow, while Judge Platt and several others, all unused to the work, handled the spade and shovel.

The first birth in Whitestown has already been men- tioned. The first death was that of Mrs. Blacksly, aunt to Judge White, with whom she resided. The exact date of her deatlı cannot now be ascertained, but it was a very few years after the settlement of the judge.

A military spirit was manifested carly by the citizens of the town, and within a few years from the arrival of Judge White it was decmed expedient to raise a company of militia. Governor George Clinton was applied to for com- missions for the necessary officers, and he informed them that if a company of thirty men was enrolled the commissions should be forthcoming. The names were soon procured, and the names of the prospective officers were forwarded by the advice of Colonel Staring, who commanded the regiment to which the company was attached. William Colbrath, a previous resident of Herkimer, was appointed captain. " Judge White was anxious that his son Hugh should re- ceive the ensign's commission, but Colonel Staring, who was well acquainted with the sons, said, ' No, no, Hugh is not de poy ; Daniel is de poy !' and Daniel received the commission."+ The latter lived to receive, also, a colonel's commission, and commanded a regiment of militia, which met for " general training" at Whitesboro'.

CIVIL ORGANIZATION AND ELECTIONS.

As stated, the town of Whitestown was formed March 7, 1788. " The poll of the first general election for the town was opened at Cuyuga, then adjourned to the present village of Salina to receive the votes of some settlers who resided there, thence to Rome, and closed finally at Whites- town. One of the inspectors of this election was the late Erastus Clark, then a resident of Clinton."}

The records of the town previous to 1862 were entirely destroyed by fire on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1861 ; hence it is impossible to give many items of interest. For a record of the earliest town-meetings we turn to Judge Jones' " Annals of Oncida County," and find that the

"first town-meeting held in the district (town) of Whitestown was convened at the house of Captain Daniel C. White, in said district, on Tuesday, the 7th day of April, 1789, 'agreeable to warning,' and 'it being more convenient,' the meeting adjourned to the burn of Hugh

Philo White,

HON. PHILO WHITE, LL.D.

Philo White, son of the late Philo White, Sr., and grand- son of Judge Hugh White, the founder of Whitestown, was born in Whitestown, N. Y., June 23, 1796. After receiving an academical education, he became a printer in the office of the Columbian Gazette, at Utica, and finally a journalist, making his first venture as editor and publisher in Manlius, Onondaga County, whence he subsequently removed to Salis- bury, N. C., where he became editor and proprietor of the Western Carolinian, which he published successfully for & period of ten years. Meantime he had married, and reared & small family.

In 1830 he received the appointment of navy agent, etc., for the United States naval station in the Pacific ocean. While in this position he discharged the arduous duties which had previously been divided between two government officers of like grade. At the expiration of four years' services, he returned to North Carolina, And founded the North Carolina Standard, at Raleigh, which he remained connected with till 1837, when he was appointed paymaster and parser in the United States navy, and spent some years in cruising in different ships of war on the Paciflo and Atlantic oceans, and in the Gulf of Mexico.

After this Mr. White removed to Wisconsin, and ultimately fixed his residence at Racine, in that State. He was the editor of several newspapers at different periods. In 1847 he was chosen a member of the Council of the Territorial Legislature, and was subsequently elected to the Senate of the State. As chairman of the committee on education and school lands, he shared largely in devising the present system of public instruction of that State.

In 1849 be was appointed by the President and Senate United States Consul-General for the Free Hanseatic Cities of Hamburg,-Lubeck and Altona,-and discharged the diplomatic duties of that important trust during the troublone, belligerent crisis of the first Schieswick-Holstein war. In

1851 he was commissioned a brigadier-general of Wisconsin militis. In 1852 he was Presidential elector, And was chosen President of the Electoral College of Wisconsin, In 1853 he was commissioned Charge de Affaires of the United States at Quito; in 1855 was promoted to the grade of United States Minister Resident for the Republic of Ecuador, and continued to reside with his family at Quito, in discharge of the duties of his office, for a period of five years. During bis absence upon this mission, in 1856, the Episcopal College at Racine, Wisconsin, which he had aided in founding, conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D. In 1859 Mr. White returned to Whitestown, his native place, where he has since resided, and where his wife, Mrs. White, departed this life in 1877.

Mrs. Nancy R. White (née Nancy R. Hampton) was born in Salisbury, N. O., October 7, 1802; was married to Colonel Philo White, of the same place (formerly and at present of Whitestown, N. Y.), May 9, 1822; and died in Whitestown, November 29, 1877. In the varied chances of life there had been assigned to her a broader and more responsible sphere of sction than falle to the lot of most of her sex. For more then half a century she was the devoted companion of an honored husband, bearing him two daughters as their only offspring (both now deceased), the elder of whom was the wife of Gov- ernor John W. Ellis, who died at the early age of forty years, while in office as the executive of his native State. Those best acquainted with the life and character of Mre. White have borne the following testimony to her exalted worth :

" Mrs. White was one of the excellent of the earth. Blessed with a vigorous intellect, few surpassed her in discernment, or in the nice observance of all those delicate amenities of life which contribute so largely to human happiness. Her whole life was a bright example for others, and her end was blessed with the fullness of a hope that she is now enjoying that bliss- ful rest promised to those who die in the Lord."

The second town meeting in Whitestown was held at the barn of Captain Needham Maynard, on the road leading from Whitesboro' to Middle Settlement, April 6, 1790.

" Montgomery County, 88. :-- This certifies that the frecholders, and other inhabitants of Whitestown, being met in said town for the pur- pose of choosing town officers, on Tuesday, the 6th day of April, 1790, did on said day collect fifty votes for Major William Colbraith, and thirty-four votes for Colonel Jededinh Sanger, for Supervisor, and William Colbrath was declared to he Supervisor. Then proceedled to the election of other officers; but many people being deprived of the privilege of voting for Supervisor, etc., moved to have the proceed- ings of the day made null and void, which passed in the affirmative. The meeting being then adjourned to Wednesday, the 7th inst., at ten o'clock in the morning, at this place. Wednesday, ten o'clock in the morning, met according to adjournment, and the poll-list being opened and kept open till nhout five o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the poll-list was closed, and upon canvassing the same, found that Jededinh Sanger was unanimously elected Supervisor, with the number of 119 votes, which choice was publicly declared in said meeting, and that he hath produced a certificate from Ilugh White, Esq., that he has taken the oath of office.

" Attest for ELIJAH BLODGET, Town Clerl. Attest for ASIBEL BEACH, Town Clerk."

These proceedings undoubtedly seem quite singular to most people of to-day, but the hardy pioneers were nearly all sons of New England, and their propensity for standing up for their rights, as well in town-meetings as elsewhere,

is well known. They considered it unfair for any to be deprived of the privilege of casting a vote, and in order to give all a voice stayed proceedings a day longer, and de- cided unanimously on the second ballot, with which result inost probably all were satisfied.

At the town-meeting in Whitestown in 1791, Colonel Sanger was re-elected Supervisor; Ashbel Beach, Town Clerk; Ebenezer Butler (afterwards of Pompey), Collector ; James Wadsworth, of Geneseo, Trueworthy Cook, of Pom- pey, Jeremiah Gould, of Salina, and several others, Over- seers of Highways.

From the present book of town records is gleaned the following list of Supervisors, from 1862 to 1877, inclusive : 1862, George Graham; 1863-64, Samuel Campbell ; 1865- 66, George Graham ; 1867-68, Robert B. Sonles ; 1869, George Graham; 1870, R. B. Soules; 1871, George Graham ; 1872, Charles L. Balis; 1873, George Graham ; 1874, C. L. Balis; 1875-76, Lyman L. Wight; 1877, Seward W. Baker. The remaining officers for 1877 were as follows: Town Clerk, Stacy B. Waters ; Assessor, Joseph Gibson ; Collector, Henry C. Reeder ; Commissioner of Highways, John Thomas; Auditors, Hiram A. Crain, John S. Capron, John H. Allyn ; Sealer of Weights and Meas- ures, Martin V. Gorton ; Excise Commissioner, Edward Kernan ; Justices of the Peace, Benjamin S. Graves, Samuel P. Steves; Overseers of the Poor, Joseph Row- land, John Parkhurst ; Constables, Thomas Tobin, Matthew E. Hastings, James A. Bates, L. B. Cooper ; Inspectors of Election, 1st District, M. V.

Bradmeyer (the third man in each district appointed by the board ).

EARLY SCHOOLS .*

"The strip of land lying on the cast bank of the Sadaqueda Creek, from its mouth to the distance of three miles, was settled iminediately after the settlement at Whitesboro', by the Wetmores and Leaven- worths.t Within its limits are now included the villages of York- ville and New York Mills, the upper part of the latter being in the township of New Hartford. Very soon after the settlement was made a school district was organized, embracing the whole of the above and some adjacent territory, and a school opened. Soon an- other district was organized, embracing the extreme southern portion of this, with some more adjoining territory, which now forms the flourishing district at the Upper Mills,-that is Nos. 3 and 4 in New Hartford. In 1826 the New York Mills District, or No. 4 District of Whitestown, was taken from the original district, and some twenty years after the Yorkville District, or District No. 6, of Whitestown, was taken off, thus leaving the original district, No. 3, of Whites- town, with ahont 100 children of school nge. This includes New York Mills, No. 1. There are now flourishing schools in all four dis- tricts, employing regularly six teachers."

Whitestown contained in 1876 thirteen school districts, with 1552 children of school age (between five and twenty- one years). The apportionment of school money for the same year was $2826.09.

RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.

" In the year 1786 the settlement of Whitestown had so far increased that its inhabitants formed a religious society,

and employed as a minister the Rev. Dr. Hillyer, of Orange, N. J."* This was in accordance with the customs of the Puritans, and was the first religious society formed in the State west of Albany.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, WHITESTOWN.

On the 1st day of April, 1793, a meeting was held in the barn belonging to Judge Hugh White, for the purpose of organizing a religious society. Thomas R. Gold, Aaron Clark, George Doolittle, Jonas Platt, Stephen Potter, Joseph Root, Reuben Wilcox, and David Williams were . appointed a committee to draft a constitution. Judge White was chairman of the meeting, and while those present were discussing the subject of the denomination of their society, he remarked that it would perhaps be " better to send for some good man, and let him briog his prin- ciples with him." The organization was finally named " The United Presbyterian Societies of Whitestown and Old Fort Schuyler," and was soon after incorporated, with the following persons as trustees : Jonas Platt, Joseph Root, Thomas R. Gold, Amos Wetmore, David Williams, John Post, Elizur Mosely, Stephen Potter, Enoch Story, Reuben Wilcox, Arthur Brecse, Erastus Clark, and Silas Clark. Of these, Messrs. Post, Potter, and perhaps others, resided at Old Fort Schuyler (Utica), and the balance in Whites- town.

The first pastor settled over this church was Rev. Bethuel Dodd, who preached his first sermou here on the 20th of August, 1794, in the public-house of Colonel Daniel C. White. Mr. Dodd died April 12, 1804, and his funeral was held in the church, which had been but a short time previously dedicated, meetings having been held for ten years in various buildings. This building was erected in 1803. The second pastor was Rev. James Carnahan, or- dained Jan. 2, 1805. He was dismissed on account of ill health, Oct. 25, 1812. Rev. John Frost was called Nov. 4, 1812, and retained his position until Feb. 5, 1833, when he was appointed general agent for the Oneida Institute. He was afterwards settled in Waterville, and died in Whites- buro'.

The first church owned by this society was 60 by 45 feet in dimensions, and cost $4508.45. The present brick church was erceted in 1834, at a cost of $5105. Several organizations have sprung from the old society. Feb. 3, 1813, the church was divided, and 57 members set off to the Utica Church. March 18, 1830, 44 members were dis- missed to form a church at New York Mills. In 1832 the church at Oriskany was formed, taking 50 members from this body. Dec. 26, 1837, 59 persons withdrew, and formed a Congregational Church at Whitesboro'. The old church is now known as the " United Society of Whites- town," and is under the pastoral care of Rev. Leicester J. Sawyer. Its membership in April, 1877, was 133. A fine Sabbath-school is connected, which numbered at the same time 191. Mr. Sawyer is the Superintendent. The school has a library of several hundred volumes. With two excel- lent organs and a fine choir, the society is well provided with music.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WHITESBORO'.

The first Baptist minister who visited this region was Rev. Stephen Parsons, of Middletown, Conn., who had nu- merous friends and relatives in the " Whitestown country." He came carly in 1796, and during this visit baptized five persons. In June of the same year he revisited the place, and organized, on the 18th of that month, the first Baptist society in Oneida Couoty, with seven members, including the five he had baptized on his first visit, and two others, the meeting for organization being held at the house of Caleb Douglass, who was elected first clerk and first deacon, and was afterwards ordained as an elder, Jan. 7, 1802. He was the second pastor of the church, the first having been Elder Parsons, who had charge from December, 1796, to December, 1802. Elder Douglass was invited Jan. 14, 1803, to become the pastor, and the invitation was accepted in May following. In March, 1803, six members were dis- missed to unite in forming a church in Westmoreland. Elder Parsons removed the same year to Mexico, in the " Black River country,"-now Oswego County,-where he died, in 1820, from the effects of a fall in his barn. Elder Douglass was pastor of the church at Whitesboro' for thir- teen years, and was released from the charge in May, 1816. He was followed by Elder Elon Galusha, who had become a member of the church in 1815. In December, 1817, a council was called to recognize the church in Rome as a regularly organized Baptist Church. Another was called in 1818 to organize a church in the north part of Westmore- land. Among the pastors who followed Elder Galusha, the latter resigning after a pastorate of fifteen years, were El- ders A. L. Covill, Clessen P. Sheldon, Jireh D. Cole, Sam- uel R. Shotwell, William Clark, and others. The present pastor is Rev. H. J. Rowlands. The society has a mem- bership of about 230. The Sabbath-school numbers about 150 members, with George C. Law as Superintendent. A small library and two organs belong to the school and church. The present house of worship is the third one owned by the society, the first having been converted into a dwelling because it was too large, and the second removed and used since as a store, because it was too small for a church.

ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF WHITESTOWN.

Through the efforts of S. Newton Dexter, principally, this organization was formed, and Rev. Benjamin W. Whitcher was appointed first deacon in 1844. The latter afterwards resigned his charge and united with the Roman Catholic Church, after having stated his reasons for so doing. During his connection with St. John's he was ao active and influential worker. In 1853, Philo White, then a resident of the State of Wisconsin, while on his way to South America on a diplomatic mission, met, in New York City, Rev. William A. Matson, who solicited him for aid to build a church in his native village. Mr. White subscribed sev- cral hundred dollars towards the object, and the corner-stone of the church at Whitesboro' was laid by Bishop De Lan- cey, June 19, 1855. Dr. Matson, then rector, officiated here and at Oriskaoy, and edited a religious paper published at Utica, called the Gospel Messenger. St. John's parish was organized Aug. 1, 1844. Among its rectors have been

Revs. Jacob S. Shipman, who went from here to Mobile, Ala., thence in turn to Lexington, Ky., and Fond du Lac, Wis., and is now in New York City; Henry Stanley, who afterwards died at Little Falls, Herkimer Co., while rector of Immanuel Church at that place; Henry Darby ; E. W. Hagar, of St. George's Church, Utica, who officiated here some four years, and was afterwards appointed chaplain in the United States Navy ; E. Z. Lewis; E. Bayard Smith ; and Robert L. Mathison,-the latter now in charge of both St. Jolin's at Whitesboro' and St. Peter's at Oriskany. The communicants to St. John's number about 60. The church property is valued at $1000.

FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF WHITESBORO'.

A class of this denomination was formed here in con- nection with New York Mills in November, 1876. A legal organization was not, however, completed until Dec. 5, 1876, when the society was incorporated, with about 40 members, which has been the average since. The Baptist parsonage was purchased and fitted up for a house of war- ship. It will seat about 200 persons. Rev. H. Skeel is the first and present pastor. A Sabbath-school was organ- ized some time previous to the formation of the church society, and numbered in February, 1878, about 35 mem- bers, beside teachers. Its Superintendent was then A. M. Phraner. It lias a library of about 200 volumes.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AT NEW YORK MILLS.

This society was organized in 1826, meetings having previously been held in various parts of the village. " In 1825, Mr. William N. Pearne, first book-keeper at the mills, and a preacher also, was instrumental in starting a Methodist class, which soon numbered a hundred persons, in which were interested Rev. Mr. Giles, Mr. George An- drews, and Rev. John Harvey, the latter one of the earliest settlers in the place, and still in the office of the company."* The present fine brick church was built about 1872, at a cost of over $25,000. The edifice in use before this was also a large brick structure, and was burned about 1871, immediately after the second service had been held in it, subsequent to the expenditure of about $10,000 for repairs. The membership of the society Feb. 5, 1878, was between 200 and 300. Its pastor is Rev. H. Skeel, who also con- ducts services at Whitesboro'. A Sabbath-seliool is kept in a flourishing condition, with Samuel Lee as Superintendent. It has a library of over 600 volumes. A large pipe-organ, manufactured by George N. Andrews, of Utica, is used during church services, and the Sabbath-school has a cabi- net-organ.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NEW YORK MILLS.

As carly as 1818 a Presbyterian Sabbath-school was organized here by Ezra Wood, a member of the Presby- terian Church of Whitestown, and long sustained by him. This was the second Sunday-school organized in Oncida County, and one of the earliest west of Albany. Benjamin S. Walcott, one of the proprictors of the New York Mills, aided largely in forming the school, and fitted up a room in

the Oneida Factory, where the first session was held, attended by thirty persons. This school was discontinued through the winter, but was soon made a permanent institu- tion. From this beginning sprang the present society, which was formed in March, 1830, with 44 members from the church at Whitesboro'. The meeting for organization was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. D. C. Lansing, D.D., presiding. There were also present Revs. Noah Coe, John Frost (then pastor of the church at Whitesboro'), and Elders Amzi Hotchkiss and Luther Holbrook. Several meetings were held,-some in the school-house and others at the homes of the elders. The first elders elected were Benjamin S. Walcott, Ambrose Coan, and Ezra Wood. The first pastor was Rev. George Foote, installed March 23, 1831. He was dismissed Oct. 7, 1832, and on the 16th of February, 1833, Rev. Lewis H. Loss was installed as second pastor. The first church was a wooden structure, built soon after the organization of the society, and stood where the present building is. It burned down in February, 1834, having caught fire from a large stove in the basement. It was insured for $1000. The present brick cdifiee was built the same year, at a cost of $3000, and stands on the same foundation as the former honse. It is 55 by 35 feet in dimensions, with a basement. This church was dedicated Oct. 28, 1835, by Rev. Beriah Green. Since Mr. Loss the pastors have been Revs. Ira Pettibone, N. Dwight Graves, R. R. Kirk, Chester Fitch, V. Leroy Lockwood, and Charles B. Austin, the latter having been stated supply since March 1, 1876.
