JARED GOODYEAR.


Jared Goodyear was a lineal descendant of Stephen Good- year, first lieut .- governor of the colony of New Haven, Conn.


Of the early history of the Goodyear family very little is known, except that the father of the subject of this memoir, Jared Goodyear, with his family, together with the Fillmore family, emigrated from Connecticut, and settled in Cayuga county, N. Y., about the year 1800, coming the entire distance with ox-teams. Jared Goodyear and Millard Fillmore were schoolmates together in a log school-house in that county. After five years the Goodyears removed to Albany county, and there kept hotel on the western turn- pike. Jared, at the age of fourteen, leaving the hotel where he had helped his father, opened a little store at the same place, the goods being furnished him by a merchant of Albany. In this business his capacity for trade and busi- ness so began to develop itself, that from that time forward, during his minority, hc assumed the duties of one much older in years, and thus laid the foundation for early busi- ness tact and shrewdness. After a few years the family removed to Cobleskill, where his father bought a farm and remained until his death, about the year 1850; having been born near New Haven, Conn., April 26, 1767. Jared was the. eldest son, and we next find him buying and droving cattle, and in this business he is successful ; but when pass- ing through Colliersville, Otsego County, becomes acquainted with one who was to become the sharcr of his happiness and fortune, or misfortune, through life.


Among the most enterprising and honored of the pioneer families which have added materially to the growth aci prosperity of the town of Milford, as well as to the county of Otsego, is that of the Goodyear family, represented by Jared Goodyear, who was born in Schoharie county, July 24, 1792, and became a resident of Otsego County, locating at Colliersville about the year 1822, at the time of bis marriage.


. The direct cause assigned for his settling at Colliersville was his marriage to Miss Ann Eliza, only daughter of Major Peter Collier, who was son of Isaac Collier, the first settler of that place, and who had come there during or about the close of the Revolutionary war. Soon after his marriage Mr. Goodycar formed a partnership with his father-in-law, and their business was thereafter condueted under the frm :- name of Collier & Goodyear, till the partnership was dis- solved by the death of Major Collier, in 1846.


This firm-and after its dissolution, Mr. Goodyear-were not only frugal and industrious in their manner of life, but they also had the sagaeity to foresee that the rapid develop- ment of this, their new country, would nceessarily increase the value of real estate, and they therefore invested their gradual aeeumulations in such property ; and the event L ... justified their anticipations, as the increase in the value of their purchases, and their success, was such that Mr. Gooi- year, at the time of his death, Oct. 24, 1874, left behind him in their combined property the largest estate ever accu- mulated iu the county of Otsego.

And while Mr. Goodyear was thas active and enter- amung for himself, he was at the same time a useful and wund citizen, and maintained the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens.


Those who had a disposition to help themselves, requiring weiMance, could always rely upon him for aid; and many bariness men in the vicinity where he lived were often greatly indebted to him for favors :has released them from temporary embarrassment, which might otherwise have been Lo them utterly disastrous.


lle was one of the most active and eficient supporters of the great work in connecting the Susquehanna river with the Hudson by railroad. and during the long. arduous, And doubtful struggle to raise means to build that, which is %. w warded as one of the most important thoroughfares if the State, Mr. Goodyear gave to the enterprise such aid, ¡wuniary and otherwise, that bu: for him, his then fellow- directors say, "it would have ided and been abandoned."


In connection with his ciber business. Mr. Goodyear carried on banking at Sebebirie, in company with his Eruther Charles, for several years


Although his whole mind seemed intent on business, he I love shrink from bearing pat is bardens when so required Ły his fellow-citizens, yet he was in no way solicitous of cdce. He was the first pretmaker of Colliersville, and Loll the office from sbout 1825 wo 1865. By those who Abew Mr. Goodyear he is said to have been a self-reliant,


resolute, and active man, possessed of great powers of endurance of body, a man of strict integrity, and for several years represented the town as supervisor. In politics Mr. Goodyear was a Democrat; although in this respect an un- swerving member of his party, yet not in any sense of the term a professional politician.


Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear lived together for over fifty years, the latter surviving the former only some four years, and dying March 30, 1878; having been born at Colliersville, May 1, 1803.


Mrs. Goodyear was a woman of great prudence, industry, and economy, possessed of rare intellectual attainments, and well versed in the current reading of the day, in the national politics, and conversant with the best authors. She was sociable and kind to her many friends, a lady of remarkable decision of character, of courage and patience, and for the last thirty or more years preceding her death she was an invalid, but bore her bodily misfortune with singular and pleasing patience.


To Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear was born one daughter, Alvira Collier, wife of Sylvester Lyman, a native of Pitts- field, Mass., but now a resident of Cooperstown. They have one daughter, Ella, who desires to place in the history of Otsego County the portraits of her grandfather and grandmother, and short sketches of their lives, in honor to them for their many virtues, and as representative men and women of the pioneers spared to live to old age.

MRS. ELIZABETH COLLIER.


MAJOR PETER COLLIER.


The father of the subject of this sketch, Isaac Collier, was the first settler of the village of Colliersville, and hence its name after its first pioneer. He came to the then wilderness country with his family during the days of the Revolutionary war, descending the Susquehanna from its source in Otsego lake to that place, which since, on account of the enterprise of the Collier and Goodyear families, has ranked among the places of prominence in the county.


Isaac Collier was of German descent, and, with the many obstacles in the way of the pioneer settler (which was no exception in his case), was enabled to make but little head- way in elearings and property where his progeny in future became noted for wealth. He raised a large family of children, and lived to the advanced age of eighty years; his wife surviving him several years, and living to be about one hundred years of age.


Major Collier was third son in the family, and became inured to the privations and hardships of the wilderness bomde, and at the same time learned those lessons of economy and self-reliance which laid the foundation of his future success. He leased a large quantity of land from George Clark, of Springfield, built a saw-mill and grist-mill, and engaged extensively in the lumber business. Manufactur- izz his lumber, by means of rafts constructed from the same, be shipped it to Baltimore, where it found ready sale.


Major Collier was known as one of the most enterprising men in the county ; was held in such esteem by his fellow-


men, and so characterized by honesty and integrity of pur- pose, as to receive their suffrages on many occasions, and represent them in offices of responsibility and trust.


He was chairman of the board of supervisors of the county for several years ; was the first loan commissioner of the county for the United States loan. Although he was a man who, in early life, had received only a limited oppor- tunity for obtaining an education from books, which in after-years was largely made up by extensive reading, he was twice chosen to represent his county in the legislature of the State, and during one of which terms, in 1831, he became a strong advocate, and aided largely in the passage of the bill abolishing imprisonment for debt. Subsequently Major Collier was a presidential elector, representing the Democratie party. Although an unswerving member of his party, he was not ardent in the desire for official re- sponsibility, but never shrank from bearing with fidelity the publie burdens intrusted to his eare.


Major Collier was born in 1776. Married Miss Elizabeth Man, of Schoharie county, N. Y., a woman of good sound mind, a safe counselor in all her husband's matters, re- spected and honored by all who knew her. She was born in the year 1782, and died March 20, 1863. Major Collier died June 23, 1846. They left only one daughter, Ann Eliza, wife of Jared Goodyear.


Unfortunately there is no likeness of Major Collier in existence, but a portrait of his wife may be seen above.
