In that part of the town taken from Tully, Jona- than Berry was the first settler, a short distance south of Borodino, in March, ISO3, and in April, of the same year, a settlement was made by Archibald Farr on the southwest corner of Lot No. 11. Mr. Farr was assisted in arriving at his place of desti- nation by Mr. Berry, who sent his team and men to open a road. This is believed to have been the first road of any kind made within the limits of the present town. It is the same that now leads from Spafford Corners to Borodino. In 1804 Isaac Hall settled on the farm since owned by Asahel Roun- dy, Esq., near Spafford Postoffice. The road was

cleared out from Farr's lot to the Corners, or Spaf- ford Postoffice, in 1804, and in 1805, Elisha Sabins and John Babcock, from Scott, cleared out a road from that town to the Corners, and moved in their goods on sleds. In 1806 several families scattered themselves over different parts of the town. Peter Knapp, Isaac Hall, John Babcock, Samuel Smith, Elisha Sabins, Otis Legg, Moses Legg, Archibald Farr, Jethro Bailey, Elias Davis, Abel Amadown, Job Lewis, Daniel Tinckham, John Hullibut, and others, were among the first settlers on the road from Borodino to the town of Scott. In other parts of the town were Levi Foster, Benjamin Homer, James Williamson, Cornelius Williamson, Benjamin Stanton and John Woodward.

In September, 1806, Isaac Hall drove a wagon from Spafford Corners to Scott Corners for a load of boards, which was the first wagon that ever passed over that road. The Corners were first settled in 1807 by Asahel Roundy and James Bacon. Elias Davis, an old settler near the center of the town, made his way thither from Skaneateles up the lake in a skiff.

The following are names of persons who settled in Spafford previous to the war of 1812 and who have died in the town since 1845 : Samuel Prindle, a Revolutionary soldier ; Hon.

January 12, 1806, Mr. S. was married to his second wife, Amy Perkins. In February of the same year, he purchased fifty acres of wood land in the town of Spafford, upon which he cut the first tree and erected a log house on the same spot where the fine farm residence of the subject of this sketch, now stands. Returning for his wife, the two com- menced a pioneer's life in the woods. In July, 1806, he carried upon his back one bushel of corn to a mill twenty miles distant, situated on Onon- daga Creek, within the limits of what is now the city of Syracuse.

OTISCO.

Orisco was formed from Pompey, Marcellus and Tully, March 21, 1806. It is an interior town, lying southwest of the center of the county. Its surface is principally occupied by the high ridge be- tween the valleys of Onondaga Creek and Otisco Lake. The declivities of the hills are generally steep, and the summits rolling and elevated from eight hundred to a thousand feet above the valleys, and from 1,600 to 1,700 feet above the ocean, Otisco Lake is 772 feet above tide. It lies upon the west border of the town, in a valley 1,000 feet below the summits of the hills. Bear Mountain, named from the great number of bears which in- fested it when the country was first settled, is one of the principal elevations. It is in the northeast part, and overhangs the valley of the Onondaga Creek. The soil is generally a sandy and gravelly loam, mixed with clay and well adapted to wheat and grazing.

In the year 1798 Oliver Tuttle and his son Daniel, (and possibly his son William, came on horseback from Cincinnatus, in what is now Cort- land county, and made the first improvement by underbrushing for a small clearing on Lot 97, near the heal of Otisco Lake. While thus engaged the father was taken very sick and was taken care of by Daniel till able to sit on his horse when they re- turned through the woods, there being no roads, to Cincinnatus, the first house on the route being at Homer, fitteen miles from the lake.

It was four years before they returned to Otisco, and they then found several families of settlers, Ohver Tuttle built the first frame house in 1804. Mr. Tyler Frisbie, who had the statement directly from the sons of Daniel Tuttle, and also from the

sons of Mr. Alpheus Bouttelle, who settled in Otisco in 1804, from the town of Pompey, has no doubt but Mr. Tuttle was the first settler of the town.

Chauncey Rust, said by Mr. Clark to have been the first settler, moved his family from LaFayette in April, 1So1. Mr. Rust was from Northampton, Mass. During this year and the following a large number of settlers arrived, principally from Massachusetts and Connecticut, and the whole town filled up rapidly.

Among the first settlers were Jonathan B. Nichols, Charles and Benoni Merriman, Solomon Judd and Lemon Gaylord, in tSo1 ; Otis Baker, Noah Parsons, Nathaniel Loomis, Amos and Isaac Cowles, in 1802 ; and Benjamin Cowles, Josiah Clark, Daniel Bennett, Elias and Jared Thayer, Henry Elethrop, Samuel, Ebenezer and Luther French, Jared and Noah Parsons, and Erastus Clapp, soon after.

Lucy Cowles, afterwards wife of Rev. Geo Colton taught the first school in 1802. The first white child born in the town was Timothy Rust, son of Chauncey Rust. March 22, 1802 ; and the first death that of Nathaniel Dady, Jr., killed by the falling of a tree, July, 1802. Daniel Bennett kept the first tavern in 1802 : Michael Johnson, the first store in 1808 ; and Charles Merriman built the first grist mill in 1806. Jesse Swan and Josiah Everett were also among the first merchants, and Benoni Merriman kept a log tavern near Otisco Center in 1804.

The first practicing physician who settled in town was Dr. Jonathan S. Judd, in 1806. Dr. Lu- ther French, in ISIS. Thomas Judd was the first, and it is supposed the only lawyer in town ; he

remained but a short time, and removed to Cort- land. .

The first town meeting was held at the house of Daniel Bennett, April 1, 1806. Dan Bradley, of Marcellus, was chairman. Judah Hopkins was chosen Supervisor, Josephus Barker, Town Clerk, and Noah Parsons, Lemon Gaylord and Josephus Barker, Assessors. An extra town meeting was held in the month of August following, at the school house near Daniel Bennett's tavern, at which a com- mittee of three was chosen to ascertain the center of the town, in order to centrally locate the public buildings.

A postoffice was established here in IS14, Dr. Luther French, Postmaster.

This town is noted for being the birthplace and residence of several persons of distinguished lite- rary reputation. Willis Gaylord, widely known as the editor of the Genesee Farmer and Albany Cul- tivator, and as a refined and graceful contributor to the scientific and magazine literature of his day, came into the town with his father from Bristol, Connecticut, in ISO1. He was then nine years of age, and he resided here until a few years before his death, which occurred in 1844.

Willis and Lewis Gaylord Clark, twin brothers, were born in this town April, ISOS. The former is known as a poet, the author of " Ollipodiana," and as the editor of the Philadelphia Gasette, and the latter has obtained a national reputation as the edi- tor of the Knickerbocker Magazine, a position which he held for many years. Willis died in IS41. Their father was Eliakim Clark, an officer in the Revolution, and their mother a sister to Wil- lis Gaylord. Rev. George Colton, father of Owen Colton, author of a series of Greek text-books, and of George H. Colton, founder and editor of the American Review, was many years a resident of this town.

MAPLE GROVE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, Otisco .- As early as 1832 a class was organized at the Seeley School House, consisting of twenty- eight members, by Percy Case, a class-leader and local preacher.

Among the prominent members at that time were Polly Case, Solomon Robinson, Nancy Robinson, Matilda Lewis, Louisa Jarvis, Charlotte Jarvis, Nathaniel Hudson, Nancy Hudson, Jonathan Balls, Abraham Hudson, Hannah Mervin, Sophia Williams, Jesse Leverich. This class continued to hold meetings every Sunday until 1850 in the school house, when they erected the present church at a cost of $800,

the site being donated by Amos Abbott. On the 27th of February, 1850, the society was duly in- corporated, Warner Abbott, John Case and Lewis Peckett, Trustees.

The church was erected under the pastorate of Rev. Z. D. Paddock, who was instrumental in awakening a deep religious feeling and adding largely to its membership. About 1870, Rev. B. F. Andrews came and labored three years with success. Rev. L. Northway is the present pastor of this and of the Cardiff M. E. Church. The present membership is fifty ; attendance at the Sabbath School, forty.

The church was rebuilt and rededicated in 1876. The present Trustees are : Royal Burt, Erastus Miller and V. L. King ; Class-leaders, C. M. Rob- inson and John C. Case. The church is situated in the northeast corner of Otisco, four miles west of Cardiff.

AMBER RELIGIOUS SOCIETY .- On the 18th of August, 1824, at a meeting of the citizens of Amber at the Lake House, then kept by David Moore, the Amber Religious Society was organized. And on the 5th of September following another meeting was held, and the Building Committee, consisting of Miles Bishop, Barber Kenyon and Samuel Kenyon, were empowered to select a site and erect a church. In addition to the Building Committee, Robert Kenyon and Isaac Briggs were elected Trustees, and the society was incorporated. The committee then proceeded to erect the church edifice at a cost of $1,300, and it was dedicated " to the true worship of God," by Revs. Messrs. Wilcox, Selkirk and Worden. The society is com- posed of different denominations and the house is open and free to all ; the Methodists only keeping up regular services. This and the society at Nava- rino form one charge. The church was rebuilt in 1866 at a cost of $1,450. E. Jarvis, pastor.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH, Otisco .- Meetings were held at the residences of the different parishioners as early as 1853 and holy mass celebrated by Father Hackett of Salina. In the year 1870 they erected a church in Otisco village under the auspices of Rev. F. J. Purcell, of Skaneateles, he presiding over this as a joint mission, and also officiating oc- casionally at Marcellus. After him came Rev. J. J. Hayden, who was succeeded by the present pas- tor, Rev. B. J. McDonough, who has this and Mar- cellus as one mission.

Among the original members were John Flana- gan, George Fitzgerald, John Kinney, William Tobin, William Gauntley, John Leroy, Michael Ryan and Thomas Larkin. Their church is a

beautiful frame edifice, costing $6,000, and the so- ciety is strong and healthy with over two hundred communicants.

Prior to the erection of the church in 1866, the society purchased the present site and occupied a frame house for four years under the pastorate of Rev. William McCallian, who organized the Jor- dan, Marcellus and Skaneateles societies.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, Otisco .- The first religious meeting held in the town of Otisco was in September, 1801, at the residence of Mr. Chauncey Rust, and from thenceforward meetings were regu- larly maintained, and on the 9th of May, 1808, Rev. Hugh Wallis of Pompey, presiding, Charles Merriman, Rachel Merriman, Samuel French, Benjamin Cowles, Phineas Sparks, Oliver Tuttle, Abigail Tuttle, Ebenezer French, Jr., Amos Cowles, Luther French and Solomon Judd, organ- ized the Congregational Church of Otisco. Dur- ing the first forty-seven years of the history of this church there were received into its communion seven hundred and forty-one persons, and in 1850 the church membership was two hundred and forty- three. In the autumn of 1805 Rev. George Col- ton, of Hartford, Conn., was called, but remained only a few months. December 7, 1807, Rev. W'm. J. Wilcox was called and remained until March 15, 1821, laboring very acceptably, and conducting two very earnest revivals-one in 1810, the other in 1817. In July, 1821, Rev. Charles Johnston was called, who immediately entered upon a revival pro- ductive of much good and many accessions : he re- mained until September 3, 1823. November 15, 1824. Rev. Richard S.
