inu and he was also the first portmaster; the first store was opened in 1808 by Thompson & Tuttle, at the Center, while in the same year Amasa Frost opened a tavern in a log house, also at the Center. Here, too, the first school was taught by Thomas Gray. John Darling was the first physician, in 1808, and Richard Dibble the second, two years later. Benjamin Holbrook was the first black- smith. The principal settlements are the village of Churchville and Riga Center. The first town meeting was held at the house of Henry Waidener, at which the following town officers were elected : Thomas Hill, supervisor; Joshua Howell, town clerk ; Ebenezer Slater, Jesse Church and Isaac Douglass, assessors; Thomas Gay, collector; War- ner Douglass, constable; Thomas Bingham, I. G. Griswold and Jacob Cole, road commissioners; Amasa Frost and Henry Waidener, overseers of the poor. Riga contains 20,989 acres of land and is assessed for $1,909,550 in the last assessment roll.
THE TOWN OF RUSH. i
Rush was formed from Avon, Livingston coun- ty. March 13th, 1818. In the original division of Genesee county into towns or provisional districts Hartford was created in 1789, and this name was changed to Avon, in 1808; in 1818 the present town of Rush was formed and in 1821 it was taken from Ontario county to form a part of the then created county of Monroe. Genesee river forms its western boundary and Honeoye creek flows west through the town and enters the river near the western border. In the western part of the town along the river are extensive flats, The first permanent settlement in this town was commenced by Colonel William Markham, in 1799, and Ran- som Smith from New Hampshire, although James and John Ganson in 1788 visited the town, built a log house and made a clearing. They were the sons of Captain John Ganson, a soldier of the Revolution, whose knowledge of the country here- abouts was acquired during Sullivan's campaign against the Indians in 1779. They constructed the first mills for grinding grain in the whole region. Phelps and Gorham sold nearly all of the lands of this township to Jeremiah Wads- worth and also to Joseph Morgan and his associ- ates. The Ganson tract passed into the hands of Colonel Markham. He was a prominent man ir

HISTORY OF ROCHESTER AND MONROE COUNTY.
the early history of Ontario county and at one time was member of Assembly. The third settler was John Barnes, followed about 1797 by Thomas Dailey. In 1801 Christie Thomas came from Maryland and built the first saw-mill in the town in 1805. The first birth was that of Joseph Mor- gan, in 1789. The first. deaths were Mr. and Mrs. Markham, in 1791. John Webster kept the first inn, Benjamin Campbell the first store, and John Webster built the first grist-mill. The first settled minister was Elder Goff, of the Baptist church. Among other early settlers were Mr. Spraker, Jacob Stull, Philip Price, the former of whom built a block-house in the town in 1802. Price built another in 1803. The Ott family came in 1801, and also John Bell. Abraham Wright, a mulatto, settled as early as 1797, in a locality then known as "Negro's Settlement," but later as "Ab- raham's Plains." In 1804 there came into the town a considerable colony of pioneers, nearly all of them from Connecticut. They were devoted members of the Baptist church and became known as the Baptist colony. The first town meeting was held at the dwelling of Benjamin Billings, when William Markham was elected supervisor ; Peter Price town clerk, Nathan Jeffords, Jacob Stull and John Markham assessors; Nathan Rose, Dud- ley Brainerd and Clark Davis commissioners of highways, George Lyday and Peter Price overseers of the poor, Adolphus Allen collector. Rush con- tains 18,353 acres and its taxable property was assessed in 1906 at $1,427,461. It has recently become the home of the State Industrial school.
THE TOWN OF SWEDEN.
Sweden was formed from Murray, Orleans coun- ty, April 2d, 1813, and is a part of the Triangle tract, which came into the possession of Robert Morris in 1801, who conveyed it to Le Roy, Bay- ard and McEvers, of New York city. A high ridge passes east and west through the town, north of the center. Salmon creek rises in the southwest part and flows through the town. The soil is clay and clay loam. The principal settlement is Brock- port village, named from Hiel Brockway, a promi- nent early settler in the village. Also small settle- menta at Sweden Center and West Sweden. In 1807 Nathaniel Poole and Walter Palmer com+ monced the first settlement on the Lake road, and
later in the same year Samuel Bishop, Isaac White, Stephen Johnson and Joseph Hopkins settled on the same road; John Reed, Timothy 'Tyler and Edward Parks settled in 1808. Reuben Moon, with his sons James, Amos and Isaac, settled in 1809 and '10 in the east part of the town. James Scott (colored) was the first settler in the south part, in 1809. John Phelps, Rufus Hammoud and Benjamin Knight were the original purchasers of the site of Brockport. James Seymour, George Allen, Thomas R. Robey, Ralph W. Goold, Luke Webster and Charles Richardson were early set- tlers. Samuel Bishop kept the first inn, in 1809; Charles Richardson the first store, and Brockway and Blodgett built the first mill. In 1802 a road was opened to the lake, but so little progress was made in the matter of highways that as late as 1811 the Ridge road was but a pathway eut through the woods, wide enough only for a single wagon to pass. On April 5th, 1814, the first town meeting was held, at the house of Reuben Stick- ney, resulting in the election of the following town officers: Supervisor, John Reed ; town clerk, Elisha Stewart; assessors, Joshua B. Adamy, Henry Hill and John Marshall; road commission- ers, Alauson Dudley, Zenas Case, Colvin Gibbs; poormasters, Benajah Warden, Record W. Vining; school commissioners, John Reed, William James, Colvin Gibbs; collector and constable, William James; pound master, Reuben Stickney, and twen- ty-seven overseers of highways.
The village of Brockport, about eighteen miles west of Rochester, on the Niagara Falls branch of the New York Central railroad, is the largest village in Monroe county, with a population of about 5,000. The village was incorporated in 1829; in 1852 its charter was revised, under which a board of five trustees constituted the vil- lage government, and in 1872 its present charter was adopted. It is the seat of many thrifty manu- facturing establishments. and at as early a date as 1828 an iron foundry was established on State street by Harry Backus and Joseph Ganson. In 1830 they removed their plant and the name changed to Backus, Webster & Co. Balch, Web- ster & Co. soon succeeded and later the firm be- came known as Backus, Burroughs & Co., but a change was again made to Backus, Fitch & Co., who were the pioneers in the manufacture of im- proved threshing machines.

Cormick started to manufacture reapers; in 1868, Hammond, William Mann, John Letts, Samuel after passing through many firm changes, the factory passed into the hands of Samuel John- ston and Byron Huntley and a stock company was soon formed under the corporate name of the Johnston Harvester company. Among other early manufacturers were William H. Seymour and Thomas R. Robey, Dayton S. Morgan; Palmer & Williams, George H. Allen, of the firm of Sey- mour, Morgan & Allen. In 1881 a shoe manu- factory was established as the Moore-Shafer manufacturing company and the Brockport piano company was established in 1893, and more re- cently the Gleason cooling board company, the Brockport vinegar factory and many others. The educational advantages of Brockport are of the highest order and the Brockport nominal school, which is the outgrowth of the Brockport Collegi- ate Institute, a Baptist organization of early days, has graduated many students and ranks high among the educational institutions of its class. Sweden contains 20,834 acres, and is assessed for 83.081,057, and, with exception of Greece, is the wealthiest town in the county.
THE TOWN OF WEBSTER.
Webster was formed from l'enfield, February 6th, 1840. In 1806, one year after the first permanent settler came to what is now Webster, the six north- eastern towns of Monroe county were brought un- der one town organization and called Boyle. On March 30th, 1810, Boyle was divided and Penfield created, embracing all that is now Penfield and Webster, and in 1810 the northern portion of the old town of Penfield was cut off and called Web- ster. It lies on Lake Ontario. in the northeast- ern corner of the county. Irondequoit bay forms the western boundary. Its surface from the ridge in the southern part has a gentle inclination to the lake. The shore rises in places fifty feet, and in the west, on the shores of Irondequoit bay, eighty to one hundred feet. The first settlement was commenced in 1805, under the agency of Caleb Lyon, and he built the first saw and grist- mills, which were burned in 1816, when owned by John Inman. Soon after came Ebenezer Spear and William Harris. Among other carly settlers were John Shoecraft, from Ulster county : Isaac Straight. Daniel Harvey. Abraham Foster. Paul
Pierce, Samuel Goodenough and Benjamin Bur- nett, mostly from New Hampshire and Vermont. The first church was the Methodist Episcopal, formed in 1812 by the Rev. Solomon Pierce. The first birth was in the family of Caleb Lyon, and the first death that of a child in the family of N. Caines. William Harris taught the first school, in 1810; John Letts kept the first inn, F. B. Corning the first store, in 1825; Ebenezer Cook was the first blacksmith, Dr. Nathaniel Beecher was the pioneer physician, from Connecticut. The principal settlements are at Webster village, which was recently incorporated, and West Webster, a small hamlet. The first town meeting was at John Lett's tavern, situated about a mile south of Web- ater village, at which time Byron Woodhull was elected supervisor and T. B. Corning town clerk. Webster is to be mentioned first among the small fruit and berry producing towns in the county, while in general agriculture it ranks almost equal with any other similarly conditioned town in the county. It contains 20,390 acres of land and its taxable property was assessed in 1906 for $1,539,- 019.
THE TOWN OF WHEATLAND.
Wheatland was formed from Caledonia, Liv- ingston county, as Inverness, February 23d, 1821, and so called undoubtedly in allusion to "Inver- ness," Scotland, from whence came many of the carly settlers of this region. Its name was changed April 3d, 1821, to Wheatland. It was a part of the territory formed in 1802 into Southampton. The Genesee river flows southerly on its eastern border. Oatka, or Allan's, creek flows easterly through the town. It is joined at Mumford by the outlet of Caledonia springs, forming an ex- vellent water power. The soil is loam, mixed with clay in the interior. Gypsum is found in large quantities. The first settlement was made in 1789 by Peter Sheffer and his sons, Peter and Jacob, from Pennsylvania. They found a settlement com- menced by the notorious Ebenezer Allan and his brother-in-law, Christopher Dugan, near the mouth of Allan's creek, a short distance below Scottsville. Allan had a comfortable log house and about sixty acres of improvement. The Shef- fers became the purchasers of his farm, paying

therefor $2.50 per acre. Allan was a tory, who, in consequence of his crimes, fled from his home in Pennsylvania and joined the Indians about 1780. He located on the Genesee and lived for a time on the lands of Mary Jemison, the noted white woman, who was adopted by and dwelt among the Senecas during the Revolutionary time. He afterward built a saw and grist mill ou the site of Rochester, thence moved to Oatka creek, near Scottsville, afterward to Mount Morris and later to Canada. Ile was an inhuman monster, being an open polygamist and a treacherous mur- derer. The valley of the river below Sheffer's was slow in settling; Joseph Morgan came in 1792, Andrew Wortman in 1794 or '95. Caleb Aspin- wall, Peter Conkle, Frederick and Nicholas Hetz- tiller were early settlers in the Sheffer neighbor- hood. Reuben Heath came from Vermont in 1799. The southwestern part was settled under the aus- pires of Charles Williamson, by Scotch, among whom were John McNaughton and family, near Mumford, and Isaac Scott. for whom the village of Scottsville was named, and who at one time owned the site of that village. Ho settled there about 1790, and Donald McVean soon after. Bachariah Garbutt and family settled at what is now Garbuttsville, in 1803; and Powell Carpenter. near Scottsville, in 1804. The first marriage was that of Peter Sheffer, jr., and a daughter of Jacob Schoonover, in 1790. The first death was that of Peter Sheffer, sr. Jacob Scott kept th. first inn; Philip Garbutt and Abram Hanford the first store; and Peter Sheffer, jr., built the first saw mill, in 1810, and the first grist mill in 1811. John and Robert MeKay built the first grist mill at Mumford, in 1808; and Donald MeKenzie erected the first cloth-dyeing works west of the Genesee river. The first church was a Baptist church, formed in 1811, and the first pastor was Rev. Solomon Brown. The first meeting of free- holders of the town was held at the house of Pow- ell Carpenter, April 3d, 1821, and John Garbutt was elected supervisor; Levi Lacy, town clerk; William Reed, Jirab Blackmer and William Gar- butt, assessors; Thomas Stoker, collector; Rawson Harmon and Peter Sheffer, overseers of the poor. The principal settlements are at Scottsville, Mum- ford, Garbuttsville and Wheatland Center. The township contains 19,243 acres of land, with an
Assessed valuation upon its taxable property, in 1906, of $1,503,340.
