William, son of William Roe, and father of our sub- ject, was born in 1788, and died in 1841. His wife was Mittie, daughter of John Mapes, of Chester, who died in 1823, leaving the following children: Na- thaniel; John, died in 1881, aged sixty-three; David, died in 1878, aged fifty-five, leaving a wife and one son, George M .; and Hannah, died at the age of seventeen.

and at the age of eight years went to live with his maternal grandfather, Thaddeus Seeley, and after his death lived with his son, Gabriel Seeley, in Chester, where he remained until his marriage. On April 4, 1843, he married Sarah, daughter of Gen. Charles Board and Joanna Seeley, of Ringwood, N. J., and granddaughter of Joseph Board, who, with his two brothers, James and David, emigrated from Wales and settled at that place, where they had charge of the iron-works and owned some 1500 acres of land in the Pompton Valley. His wife was born Jan. 7, 1815. Their children are Charles B., a farmer in Chester ; Gabriel S., a farmer in Kendall Co., Ill .; Thomas Beach, a farmer in Chester; Nathaniel, a farmer in | Blooming-Grove; Henry M .; and Hannah E. After his marriage Mr. Roe rented a farm for ten years, and then purchased a farm, upon which he remained a few years. In 1855 he bought his present farm, con- sisting of 200 acres, upon which he built his present substantial farm residence in 1867. This property has been his homestead since, which shows to the passer-by the handiwork of a careful, thrifty, and intelligent farmer. He started out in life without pecuniary assistance, and by self-reliance, industry, and judicious management may safely be classed among the leading agriculturists of his town. The products of his dairy, in the form of milk, are marketed in New York.

Mr. Roe served as assessor for three years, begin- ning in 1856, and represented it in the board of super- visors in 1877. He has been a director in the Chester Bank for the past three years. Both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church at Chester, of which he has been an elder for many years.

IRA BULL.

Ira Bull was one of the great-grandsons of William Bull, the progenitor of the Bull family. A notice of his ancestry in Orange County is given in the sketeli of his brother, Jesse Bull, of Blooming-Grove. Richard Bull, therein mentioned, the father of Ira, was born Oct. 25, 1762, on the homestead in Hampton- burgh, in the old stone house. He married Lena, daughter of Benjamin Harlow, of Phillipsburgh, April 12, 1800, and soon after settled on a partly cleared tract of land in Sugar-Loaf Valley, in the town of Chester, which he bought of Mr. Van Houten, now containing 320 acres, it being a part of the Wawa- yanda Patent, where he made his homestead. Upon this property he erected a frame house, which has been superseded by the present substantial farm resi- dence, erected by his son, and during his life made many improvements on the property. He built a grist-mill and saw-mill on the place, which he carried on during his life, and which have since been operated by his son. He died Jan. 5, 1846. His wife was born June 19, 1772, and died March 2, 1854. She was one of the early members of the Presbyterian Church at

Ira Bull spent his minority on the farm and in as- sisting his father in the mills, where he in early life became inured to labor and learned the necessity of industry and economy to a successful business life. He married, Dec. 10, 1845, Phebe, danghter of Ira Hawkins, and granddaughter of Moses Hawkins, who came from Long Island and settled in the East Divi- sion of the town of Goshen.

Ira Hawkins' family consisted of three sons and three daughters. Her mother was Hannah, daughter of Gen. Abram Vail, also of the East Division. Mrs. Bull was horn Nov. 28, 1825, and has the following children : Hannah Lena, wife of Erastus W.

Mr. Bull succeeded to the homestead property, partly by purchase and partly by inheritance, upon which he has resided during his life. All the appointments of his well-cultivated farm show the care and manage- ment of a thrifty farmer. He has been a director in the Chester Bank for the past three years, and both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church at Chester, of which he has served as trustee for many years.

JOHN KING.

The paternal great-grandfather of John King served for six years in the French and Indian war in Canada, and after its close, in 1761, came to Orange County, and resided on the Gray Court meadows. His children were John, Joseph, Peter, and Susan, wife of Samuel Green, of Monroe. Jolin, born Nov. 4, 1757, was four years old when his parents left Can- ada. He married, Jan. 5, 1784, Margaret Gray, who was horn May 10, 1760, and died Jan. 19, 1834. He died Feb. 13, 1844. Soon after his marriage he settled on 200 acres of land, a part of the Wawa- yanda Patent, in Sugar-Loaf Valley, in the town of Chester (then Goshen). The deed is dated Sept. 12, 1790. The land, then a wilderness tract, he began clearing of its original forest and preparing its virgin soil for crops from year to year, and during his life he added another parcel of 100 acres. This property has been the homestead since, and is now owned and | occupied by the subject of this sketch, his grandson.

John King, the original settler of this land, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war in defense of the colonies. He was one of the early members of the

Presbyterian Church at Chester. His children were James; Abel; Elizabeth, wife of John Woodruff, died at Bethlehem, Orange Co .; Sarah, wife of Lewis H. Roe; Jonas, father of onr subject ; Ezra ; and Juliana, wife of Anselm H. Denniston,-all mar- ried and settled in Orange County except James, Abel, and Ezra.

Jonas King was born Sept. 13, 1793, and succeeded, partly by purchase and partly by inheritance, to the homestead property, upon which he resided all his life, except some two years spent in the town of Mon- roe after his marriage. He was a man of correct habits, and gave his active business life to agricultural pursuits. He served as town clerk for one year. He died Ang. 26, 1873. His wife, whom he married April 6, 1815, was Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Durland and Martha Board, and granddaughter of Charles Durland, who came from Long Island in 1756 and settled at Chester, on the farm now owned by James Durland. She was born in 1796, was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Chester, and died October, 1843. Their children are Martha ; John ; Lewis and .Charles, of Illinois ; Elizabeth, wife of William Mas- terson ; Sarah, wife of James W. Mapes, of Cayuga County ; Edmund; Mary; Phoebe; Louisa, wife of Curtis Z. Winters ; and Susan,-all living.

John King, son of Jonas, was born while his pa- rents lived in Monroe, Aug. 9, 1817, and succeeded to the homestead property, where he has spent his life in the occupation of his farm. Ile has made some ad- ditions to the house which his grandfather John built, which has been the homestead domicile for nearly one hundred years. Like his forefathers, Mr. King has not sought political place, and has never held office, except to act as assessor of his town for two terms and commissioner of highways for three years, and, like them, he is a plain, unassuming, and judicious farmer. His wife, whom he married Sept. 25, 1861, is Hannah M., daughter of Nicholas H. Caywood and Susan Mapes, of Weedsport, Cayuga Co., and granddaughter of John Caywood, who owned a tannery and made shoes for the army of the Revolution, in which war he served for a time as a soldier, and after its close settled at Ovid, Seneca Co., where he died. Her father died at her residence, Feb. 18, 1881, aged seventy-six, and her mother died July 11, 1872, aged fifty-eight. Mrs. King was born Sept. 17, 1832, and, with her husband, is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Chester, of which Mr. King officiates as steward and has served as trus- tee. Mrs. King has one brother, Chauncey C. Her sister, Elizabeth, died in 1860, at the age of twenty- three.

Colfax, a sister of whom, Ilarriet, married Jacob M. Ryerson, son of Judge Martin Ryerson, of New Jersey. A CHARLES B. SEELY. grandson of William Colfax, ex-Vice-President Col- fax, is a cousin of the subject of this sketch. William R. Colfax, born in 1791, at Pompton, married Eliza- beth, daughter of Joseph Hogan. She died at about the age of sixty-six, some five years prior to the death of her husband, which occurred in 1873. William R. Colfax resided at West Milford, N. J., where he was engaged in milling and farming. His children are Mary Jane, deceased ; Sarah, became the wife of , Gabriel, who resided on the homestead and there died.

Robert W. Colfax was born at West Milford, Dec. 25, 1825. He started out in life with no pecuniary assistance, save what he earned himself, and with only a limited education from books. At the age of seventeen he came to Chester, and was apprentieed to J. H. & G. W. Colwell, cabinet-makers, where he re- mained four years and became fully conversant with the business. Here he saved a little money, and at the end of his apprenticeship took a tour through some of the Western States, with a view to settlement in business. Returning in a few months, he became a partner with the Colwells, under the firm-name of Colwells & Colfax, and after five years bought out the business, which he successfully carried on until 1855. In 1856 he established a stove and tinware store at Chester, and continued this business until 1874, when he retired from the more active duties of life.

Thaddeus Seely, grandfather of Charles B. Seely, was one of the early settlers of the present town of Chester, and had his homestead about one mile south of the village, the farm being occupied in 1881 by Thaddeus Durland. By his first wife, who was a Miss Seely, he had three children,-Joanna, wife of Charles Board, of Ringwood, N. J .; Thaddeus; and Peter, who died young. Ilis second wife bore him one son, By his third marriage he had no issue. Mr. Seely was a large farmer for his time, and among the early members of the Presbyterian Church of Chester. His son Thaddeus, father of Charles B. Seely, was born on the homestead, Aug. 15, 1782, and died Nov. 12, 1841. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Na- thaniel, and granddaughter of Nathaniel Roe, the first settler of the Roe family in the town of Chester in 1751, whom he married Dec. 15, 1805.

Conkling, of Goshen; George, died at the age of ten years ; Charles B., Gabriel, and Thaddeus, farmers, occupying the homestead of their father; Elizabeth, died young. After his marriage Thaddeus Seely purchased 100 acres of land where his son Thaddeus now resides, and afterwards added to it some 300 acres. He was a thoroughgoing business man and a progressive farmer. Hle never sought the public places in his town, but led a quiet and unos- tentatious life.

Charles B. Seely, son of Thaddeus, was born June 19, 1817, and married, Oct. 19, 1842, Hannah Jane, daughter of Benjamin C. Coleman and Eleanor Vail, of Goshen. She was born Nov. 1, 1817. Her mother was a daughter of Gen. Abram Vail, of Goshen, and her paternal grandfather was Benjamin Coleman. The children of Mr. Seely are Ella; Fred B., who carries on the Chester flouring-mill; Hannah C., died, at the age of fourteen, June 2, 1863; Mary Frank, died at the age of twenty, April 25, 1872; and Charles A. In 1845, Mr. Seely purchased a farm of 125 aeres near the Otterkill depot, to which he added other land, making 216 acres. This he carried on until 1864, when he sold it, and purchased a small place on the road from Goshen to Chester, where he remained for ten years. In 1874 he purchased a farm in the town of Chester, containing then 160 acres, in- cluding a part of the valuable Black Meadows, a part of which he has sold, retaining 127 aeres, his present homestead.

In business and as a private eitizen, Mr. Colfax has always been esteemed for his integrity and honesty of purpose. As executor, administrator, and com- mittee, positions which he has frequently filled, his qualifications have never been questioned. He served for many years as one of the trustees of the Chester Academy, and he has been a contributor to church and kindred interests in the vicinity where he resides, and a promoter of morality and religion in the com- munity. Both himself and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church at Chester, of which he has Mr. Seely, like his forefathers, has led an unevent- been elder for some twenty-five years. He married, ful life, nnbroken by the biekerings of office-seeking Jan. 3, 1849, Almira, daughter of Maj. James and . or public place. He may well be ranked with the

JOHN B. TUTHILL.

connection with a sketch of Oliver B. Tuthill, of Go- shen, in this work. John Tuthill, therein mentioned, son of Nathaniel, was the grandfather of our subject. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was a far- mer in the town of Blooming-Grove. His wife was a Miss Seeley, who bore him the following children : Orpha, wife of Timothy Little, and after his death the wife of Mr. Johnson ; E.

In 1819, John Tuthill removed from Blooming- Grove and settled in the town of Erin, Chemung Co., where he purchased 900 acres of land, then a wilder- ness tract, and where he spent the remainder of his life. He died about 1845, aged eighty-four years. Of his children, Hiram, the father of our subject, was born on the homestead in Orange County, Nov. 30, 1799, and married Aznbah Seeley, who was born in May, 1804, and is now living where the family settled in Erin. Their children are Charles S., of Green Point, N. Y., a merchant ; John B .; Francis G., a farmer of Elmira; William M., died at the age of twenty-eight in 1862; Hiram, a merchant at Chester; Sarah Milecent, died young ; and Stella Azubah, died at the age of seventeen in 1862,-all of whom were born in Chemung County.

Hiram Tuthill removed with his parents to Erin, inherited 100 acres of the homestead there, and added 200 acres more to it, upon which he resided the re- mainder of his life. He died Sept. 18, 1876. He was a well-preserved representative of the true men, dis-

tinguished for the old-fashioned honesty and stern integrity of the past generation, and bore in his looks and tall, erect figure the impress of an honorable life, -one of integrity and true nobility.

John B., son of Hiram Tuthill, was born Nov. 4, 1828, and remained at home until he reached his ma-

The ancestry of the Tuthill family will be found in | jority, when he came to Chester, and for two and one- half years was a elerk in the store of Tuthill, Seeley & Johnson. In 1852 he bought Mr. Johnson's inter- est, and Mr. Seeley sold his interest to William C. Eager, and the new firm of Tuthills & Eager carried on a successful mercantile and forwarding business until 1864, when Mr. Eager sold out and settled in Warwick. The Tuthills continued the business until 1867, when John B. sold his interest in the con- cern to E. T. Jackson. He then purchased the Gregory farm, near Chester, and after two years sold it, and purchased his present farm of 133 acres, which, by additions, is now (1881) 145 acres, and one of the most desirable loeations anywhere to be found in the town, and the land highly productive. In 1874 he built his present brick residence, commanding a view of the valley and the Erie Railway. All the appoint- ments of his well-arranged premises bespeak the work of a thrifty and intelligent farmer. The products of his dairy are marketed daily in New York in the form of milk.

Mr. Tuthill has been interested in all that pertains to the locality where he resides, and is known as a thoroughgoing business man. For six years he was a member of the Board of Education at Chester, and is a promoter of church and kindred interests. His first wife, whom he married Dec. 10, 1856, was Martha S., daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Seeley) Tut- hill. She was born Oct. 30, 1835, and died Sept. 25, 1857. For his second wife he married, Jan. 26, 1859, Jane, daughter of James Dnrland, of Chester, who was born May 6, 1837, and died Sept. 23, 1867, leaving no children. His present wife, whom he married Feb. 4, 1869, was Susan, the daughter of John and Mary Ann (Pilgrim) Fowler, of Monroe, and granddaughter of John Fowler, who settled in Monroe from Scotland. She was born Nov. 10, 1835. The children born of this union are Stella A. and Hiram B. Tuthill.

A. B. Tuthill

In early life he was thrown upon his own resources, and by necessity learned self-reliance, economy, and prudence. During his boyhood and early manhood he was esteemed for his correct habits, sociable and frank manners, and a kind and generous heart. His first wife was Mahala Hall, a devoted member of the Presby- terian Church, who died in 1840, aged thirty- six years, leaving the following children : Wil- liam T., was a farmer in Goshen, and died in January, 1879, aged forty-five years; Elizabeth, became the wife of David H. Roc, who was born in Warwick, was a merchant in Chester for many years, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at that place, and died Nov. 29, 1880, aged fifty-two years. For his second wife, Mr. Rysdyk married Elvira, daughter of Col. Sproull, of Warwick, who bore him several children, all of whom are dead.

For many years after his marriage Mr. Rys-

dyk was a farmer in the town of Warwick, near Florida. He subsequently settled in the town of Chester, where he purchased a farm and erected fine buildings thereon, which he made his pleasant home the remainder of his life. The property is now owned by Dr. C. T. Smith.

Few men were better known in Orange County and throughout the State than he, on account of his fondness for horses and his ownership of the celebrated horse "Hamble," which horse became the origin of all the stock by that name at present in this country. He gave little attention to horses outside of their common use until 1851, when he success- fully had an interest in " Long Island Black Hawk," and afterwards in the "New York Black Hawk," and finally became the sole owner of the original "Orange County Hambletonian," which he raised from a colt. Mr. Rysdyk died April 26, 1870, aged sixty-one years.

Al Jum Demurat

The Demerests are of Huguenot extraction, and James, grandfather of Abram, settled in the town of Warwick, from New Jersey, where he purchased some five hundred acres of land on the road from Sugar Loaf to Warwick. This property he made his homestead the remainder of his life, and reared twelve children, of whom Nicholas, father of our subject, was born Feb. 26, 1762. IIe married Mary Bontan, who was born Jan. 3, 1770, and died Aug. 15, 1836. Ile died June 10, 1845, leaving the following children : Catharine, born Sept. 16, 1788, died May 13, 1811; Elizabeth, horn Feb. 4, 1790, was the wife of Jesse Maybee, of Goshen ; James S., born March 1, 1792; Samuel, born Feb. 11, 1794 ; Nicholas, born Nov. 17, 1796; Margaret, born Sept. 27, 1798; Abram, born Sept. 14, 1800; Mary, born Dee. 29, 1802, became the wife of John Lawrence, of Warwick ; Hannah, born Sept. 17, 1804; Jane, born April 8, 1807, wife of Ezra Holbert, of Warwick ; Caroline, born Feb. 3, 1809, wife of E. M. Bradner, of Warwiek ; Catharine, born July 13, 1811, became the wife of William S. Bene- dict, of Warwick.

Nicholas Demerest settled on a part of the homestead property, where he resided during his life, and reared this very large family of children, his farm consisting of some two hundred acres, besides owning other real estate. He was a well-to-do farmer of his day, and de- voted his life to agricultural pursuits.

Abram, son of Nicholas Demerest, spent his boy- hood at home. He married, Oct. 27, 1842, Eliza Jane,

daughter of Isaac and Mehetabel (Wells) Smith, of Chester, who was born April 17, 1808. Her father came from Long Island in the year 1767, when twelve years of age, with his parents, and settled in the town of Chester, where he resided until his death ; was born at Jamaica, L. I., March 8, 1755, and died Oct. 14, 1836. Iler mother was a daughter of Joshua Wells, a descendant of Hon. William Wells, who was born near Norwich, England, in 1608, came to America in 1635 on the ship " Free Love," was an educated lawyer in England, and beeame high sheriff of New Yorkshire, on Long Island.

After his marriage Abram Demerest resided on a part of the homestead in Warwick, consisting of one hun- dred and twenty-five acres, for some seven years. In 1850 he removed to West Chester, where he only re- mained one year, and for some three years he resided on the " Blaek Meadows." In 1854 he purchased two hun- dred and sixteen acres adjoining the village of Chester, which has been his homestead since.

Born with the century, he still enjoys to a remarkable degree the active faculties of both body and mind. His life has been devoted to farming, and he has always been esteemed for his honesty of purpose and his integrity in all the relations of life.

Ilis children were Nicholas, married Isabella B., daughter of Daniel McNeal, of Montgomery, and car- ries on the home farm; William, born Oct. 17, 1846, died May 18, 1856.

BLOOMING-GROVE.

I .- SITUATION, BOUNDARIES, AREA, TITLE.

BLOOMING-GROVE is one of the interior towns of the county, lying east of the centre. It is bounded north by Hamptonburgh and New Windsor, east by Cornwall and-Monroe, south by Monroe and Chester, and west by Chester and Goshen. The area of this town may be stated, in the same way as that of other towns, from the supervisors' equalization table of 1879. The acreage is there stated at 21,8263 acres, but the real area is greater than this in consequence of the exceptions made by the assessors of the several towns. The total valuation, as shown by the same table, was $1,481,740, and the tax levied upon that basis was $11,715.86.

The following memorandum of the various patents conveying title to the territory now in the town of Blooming-Grove will be found of much value. It shows not only the basis from which every man's deed rests at the present time, but also furnishes many hints as to the names of those who made the first set- tlement and the dates when it took place. In the northeast corner of the town may first be named the patent to Richard Van Dam, dated June 30, 1720, and comprising 1000 acres. The northeast corner of this patent is the northeast corner of the town, and that point is also located on the old county line, making a permanent place of beginning for all modern sur- veys in that vicinity. This patent is not bounded by the north line of the town, but lies somewhat diagonal to that line, and a portion of the tract is in New Wind- sor. Immediately on the south of this patent lies what is generally known as the Rip Van Dam Patent. The proprietors, in all, were Rip Van Dam, Adolph Phillips, David Provost, Jr., Lancaster Symes, Thomas Jones, each to have one-fifth of a traet of 3000 acres. This patent is described as beginning at a station bearing west twenty-four degrees north and eighty- five chains from the wigwam of the Indian Marin- gamus. Salisbury Mills village is on the east end of this patent, so far as the village lies in Blooming- Grove, the eastern boundary of the patent being de- scribed in the original statute organizing the town as the eastern boundary of the town. This patent in- eluded 3000 acres, and was dated March 23, 1709. South west of the Rip Van Dam Patent, and adjoining it, and westward of the Schunemunk Mountains, is the patent to Edward Blagg and Johannes Hey for 2000 acres, granted March 28, 1726. This tract lies
