Retiring from the command of a vessel in 1863, he still retained an interest in the shipping trade. He has been extensively interested in farming, and also in the flonring, lumbering, and commission business, and has shipped a large quantity of cheese to Liverpool. Ile is one of the largest landholders in New Haven township, where he owns six hundred acres, besides as much more in other localities. By reference to the New York State records, we find him to have been a member of assembly from the third district of Oswego County in 1875, and his name appears promi- nently on the reports of committee on commerce and navi- gation, and on the sub-committee of the whole. He is spoken of in the State documents very favorably as a legis- lator, and the general popularity he enjoys among his con- stituents, and the people generally, goes far to confirm the good opinion of him therein expressed. In 1872 he was elected supervisor of New Haven township, and was re- elected for five terms consecutively, the last year being chosen chairman of the board, the duties of which office he discharged in an able and impartial manner, and to the entire satisfaction of his brother-members of the board, as expressed in a resolution passed at the elose of the session.
Mr. Daggett is a man of varied and extensive experience, an excellent judge of men and things, and a man not caleu- lated to err in his estimate of human character. He has been a leading Republican for many years, but has always retained enough of the fortiter in re so as not to be influ- eneed by party cliques or partisan motives. Of the suaviter in modo he possesses a large share, henee he enjoys the confidence and esteem of people of all political complexions. He is a prominent member of the Masonic order, being now a Royal Arch Mason ; and is also a member of the I. O. O. F. Captain Daggett married Frances L., daughter of Philander and Eliza Holly, of New Haven, who survives.
A remarkable fact connected with the captain's sea-faring experience is, that he was never onee shipwrecked or lost a cargo. He retains a picture of the good ship " Dread- naught," which he commanded, and which he considers his pet vessel. He points to her with a commendable pride. 23

AMBOY.
AMBOY was formed from Williamstown, March 25, 1830. It lies upon the east border of the county, south of the centre. The surface is rolling, and has a southerly inelina- tion. The soil is a rich loam, produeing grain and grass in abundance. It contains several small lakes in the southern part, the principal of which are Painter lake, and North and South ponds. It is drained by small streams, tributary" to Oneida lake. Its highest point is four hundred and fifty feet above Lake Ontario. The north half of the town is within the region of the gray sandstone, and the south half in that of the red or Medina sandstone.
The earliest settler of this town was Joseph Perkins, a native of Connecticut, who moved into the town in 1805. He took up the east half of lot No. 14 of this township, and during the first year opened an inn for the accommoda- tion of travelers. He resided upon this place until his death, which occurred through accident, being killed while he was at work in the woods near his house. He left a family consisting of two sons and three daughters. Mr. Perkins and his family seem to have been the only settlers within the town for a number of years.
Among those who came on after Mr. Perkins had located were David Smith, in 1815, Isaac Claxton and John Drought, in 1818, and Sage Parke, in 1821. Mr. David Smith located near the present grave-yard, where he resided until 1828, when he moved out of town. Isaac Claxton settled in the southeastern part of the town, where he was joined by his brother, William Claxton, within a few years. Together they cleared a large traet of land and erected comfortable buildings, but sold out to Mr. Richard Carter, and took up other lots in the town. Both died, leaving large families of children, most of whom have since moved to the western States. John Drought settled upon the east half of lot No. 139. The farm is occupied at present by Mr. David Morton. Mr. Drought lived upon this place until the year 1828, when he sold out to Julian and Rieh- ard Carter, and moved with his family to Camden, Oneida county, where he died.
Sage Parke settled upon lots Nos. 14 and 29, but sold out within a short time to John Moore, and purehased lot No. 105, where he lived until shortly before his death, which oceurred at the residence of his son-in-law, at Amboy Cen- tre. In the year 1822 (being seventeen years after the settlement made by Mr. Perkins), Mr. Joseph Murphy built the first saw-mill in town. During the summer of the next year the first school was taught by Cynthia Stoddard. The following winter a school-house was built upon lot No. 27. It was constructed of four-inch planks, notched to- gether much after the manner of constructing log houses. It was the only school-house in that part of the town for a great number of years, and is still standing.
No event of unusual interest occurred during these years of early settlement. Situated in the woods, and distant from the usual route of travel, they labored on uncomplain- ingly. Each little clearing gradually increased in size, and though the forest still covered the greater part of the town- ship, yet numerous small tracts were placed under cultiva- tion and yielded annually their due reward to industry.
During the years 1822-23 a large number of settlers came into the town, most of them from the Eastern States. Among them were John G. Howard and William Henry, from Rhode Island, Horace Foote, from Clinton, and Archibald Chapman. The first regular hotel was opened in the fall of 1822, at what is known as the five corners, upon lot No. 26. This building was owned by Ephraim Mowrey, and was a double log house. Mr. Mowrey kept a hotel in it for a number of years, but afterwards put up a fine frame structure upon lot No. 11.
In 1824, Mr. Sage Parke erected the first grist-mill in town. It contained only a single run of stone, and was intended for grinding corn and other coarse grain.
The same year the Free- will Baptist society was organized (in 1824), with Rev. Truman Gillet as pastor. Services were held from time to time in various private buildings in the town.
All this time it will be remembered that township No. 6 was a part of the town of Williamstown. Early in 1830 the people made up their minds to be set off into a new town, and a meeting of the citizens was called to determine on a good name for it. Several names were proposed, dis- cussion ensued, and the meeting was held until a late hour, but finally adjourned without being able to decide the mo- mentous question. Another followed, with the same result. A third and fourth ensued, but still township No. 6 was nameless. At length, at the fifth meeting, Mr. Frederick Andrews proposed the name of Amboy, from the town thus called in New Jersey. This suggestion met with general favor, the name in question was sent forward to the legisla- ture, and the town of Amboy was formed by an act passed March 25, 1830.
