HISTORY OF ONTARIO COUNTY, NEW YORK.


John Curran. Amos James and Amasa Gillett were the original proprietors and settlers of lot 28. A New Englander, named Joseph Lee, settled on lot 30 prior to 1805; one Pembroke and a Mr. York were also early settlers on this lot. Prominent among the sons of Massachusetts that secured a home in this region was that honored pioneer, Oliver Warner, who was the first settler in.the wilds of No. 32. Mr. Warner was a prominent citizen, and every way well adapted to encounter the trials incident to the settlement of a new country. He met a melancholy fate, being struck by lightning and instantly killed. Two sons reside in the town,-Daniel D. Tompkins and Milton. Industries in those early days were forwarded as far as the limited means of the pioneers would permit. John P. Henry, an active citizen, erected the first tannery in the town, now operated by his son, Nelson P. Henry. Pioneers on lot 25 were Elam Crane, Ezra and Leonard Knapp. Leonard H. and Franklin, sons of Leonard, and grandsons of Ezra, reside in the town. Early settlers on lot 27 were Mr. Woodin and Thad- deus Benham. Dennis Chapman was an early and prominent settler on lot 29, on premises now owned by the widow of Lewis Chapman, a son, who met a sad death, being killed by a kick from a horse in the spring of 1876. His death fell heavily upon a large circle of relative and friends, who deeply mourned the loss of this estimable citizen.


"There's a divinity that shapes our enda, Rough-hew them as we will."


The first fulling-mill in this town, and perhaps in the county, was erected by Elisha Higby, the pioneer on lot 6. He was a highly-esteemed citizen, and an early magistrate; a daughter, wife of Evander Sly, resides in Canandaigua. William Canfield was an early settler on lot 6, on lands now occupied by H. P. Darling. Andrew M. Bush also early located on premises now owned by Michael Francisco. Many will remember that earnest gospel teacher of the Baptist faith, Elder Anson Shay, who was a pioneer on lot 3. John Kellogg early located on lot 1. One Knickabacker was the pioneer on lot 8, and lot 6 was owned by Cap- tain Chapin. Mr. Brundage, a prominent pioneer, was the proprietor of lots 16 and 18; a grandson, George Brundage, now resides on the latter. On this lot is located the county poor-house. Lot 50, in the northeast corner of the town, was first settled by Thomas Edmanson and Daniel Macuber.


Captain Thomas Davis, an officer in the militia, early selected a home in this town, locating on lot 52. Lot 54 was purchased by Rufus Warner, who was the pioneer on lot 56, on premises now owned by Henry Sheckell, son of Richard H. Sheckell, Esq. One of the first settlers in the town, a native of New England, was Apollos Baker, a worthy pioneer, who located on lot 55 in about the year 1800. A son, Miles, a venerable and highly-esteemed citizen, resides on the lot settled by his father, and celebrated his " golden wedding" in 1875. This anniversary was a pleasant episode in the lives of this honored couple, and will long be remembered by those who participated in its festivites. It is related of Mrs. Baker, mother of Miles, that, in an early day, she was attending to her washing down by the brook, some distance from the log dwelling, and Miles, then . babe, was placed in a sap-trough, which served as a cradle. His mother having occasion to return to the house, thought to leave the little one, as she would be absent but a moment; but something seemed to warn her against this course, and she carried the little one to the dwelling; and what was her consternation, upon returning to the place a few minutes after, at finding a huge bear prowling about the place where so short a time before the little youngster lay prattling in his sap-trough cradle! Mr. Baker has five sons and three daughters living. John Church was a pioneer on premises where now is located the pleasant home of R. H. Sheckell, Esq. Mr. Sheckell is a prominent citizen, whose parents were pioneers in another portion of the county. He has four children living, viz. : Cornelia, wife of Edward Osgood, Esq., residing in the village of Canandaigua; Hattie, wife of John Huke; Henry and Clara, who reside in this town. The lot now occupied by D. D. T. Warner was first settled by Jonas Whitney, and lot 55 by . Mr. Spear, who died in 1804. Constant Balcom was also an early settler on this lot, on premises now owned by a son, Espenetas. Asel Balcom, a brother of Constant, was a pioneer on lands now owned by J. W. Archer. Eben Benham was an early settler on lot 35, on premises now owned and occupied by John H. Benham, Esq., the present superintendent of the poor of this county. Eben Benham, a preacher of the Methodist faith, settled on this lot, on lands now owned by A. J. Hanna; Eli Benham, s brother, was also a pioneer on this lot. A New Englander, named Ezra Newton, early located on lot 37, where John Newton now resides.


EARLY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.


Among the early educational instructors were Abel Tracy, Electa Murry, and Nathaniel Lewis. The latter taught in a rude structure that stood on the turn- pike near the site now occupied by the residence of E. A. Childs. The pioneer


school-house in the north part of the town was erected on the northeast corner of lot 26, and the first teacher in this building was Walter Fitzgerald. Abel House and a Mr. Thurbur are also mentioned as early teachers.


VILLAGES.


There are four small hamlets in this town : Chapinville, Hopewell Centre, Littleville, and Hall's Corners. Chapinville is a station on the Auburn branch of the New York Central Railroad. Captain Israel Chapin was a large landholder in this part of the town, and erected the first grist-mill at Chapinville, and from him the town derived its name. A daughter of Captain Chapin, Mrs. John Greig, resides in Canandaigua. Hopewell Centre, in 1819, contained two hotels, one blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, and about half a dozen dwellings. Early inn- keepers were Silas Anson and a Mr. Frederick. One Woodruff was the pioneer blacksmith. This village is a pleasant little hamlet of about ninety inhabitants, and contains two churches, one store, and a blacksmith and cooper shop. The first grist-mill and saw-mill at Littleville was built by Oliver Phelps, and in about the year 1800 was owned and operated by Edward Parker. Littleville and Hall's Corners are small hamlets.

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.


PRESBYTERIAN .- This church is one of the oldest religious organizations in the county, and was probably formed by Rev. Jedediah Chapman, soon after his estab- lishment at Geneva. In his journal, under date of August 7, 1803, he speaks of administering the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to the church in this place. It must have been connected with the presbytery of Oneida, as in the organization of the Presbyterian church at Geneva it appears without any act of reception to have belonged to that body. Upon its organization it had few members, but in 1825 numbered one hundred, and in 1828 it reported one hundred and eight, and next year thirty-four. This change was in consequence of the organization of a church in Gorham. The church had thirty-four members added in 1832, making the whole number one hundred and four. For some years after the organization of the church it had no stated preaching. Mr. Chapman officiated there often. In 1804 Rev. Samuel Leacock came into the town, and commenced preaching for the church, but his labors were terminated in less than a year by death. Rev. Eliphalet B. Coleman officiated as stated supply in 1807. Rev. Joseph Merrill began his pastoral labors with this church in 1808, and continued until 1827. He was followed in the pastoral office by Rev. Isaac Flagler, who remained until 1828. The last officiating clergyman for this society was Rev. Nathan Bosworth, now residing in Starkey, Yates county.


CHAPINVILLE METHODIST .- This church was organized in 1852, with the following members : James L. Munson, Harriet P. Munson, William Callister,
