HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.


A sorrel mare strayed from her owner's premises in 1814, and was "took up" by Daniel Rhodes. In pursuance of the directions of law, as well as in accord with the customs of the people, he advertised the faet, and appended a de- scription commencing as follows: "a sorrel mare, with a large, squire Dock, a small white spot just baek of her fore- shoulders," etc.


At the town-meeting of 1817 it was voted to hold the next town-meeting " in Ely Beecher's barn." This showed the democratie principle of the people. But the growth of their aristocratic tendencies cropped out in 1822, when they repudiated the barn as a place of meeting, and ad- journed to meet "in Ely Beecher's wood-house." In 1824 the Congregational church was built, and after that the elections were held there.


In 1849 a bounty of $10 was offered for every panther killed in the limits of the town.

VII .- CHURCHES.


The first church was organized in 1798, by Rev. Mr. Munroe, from Galway. It was a Baptist church. They built a church in 1816 opposite the house now occupied by Allen Olmstead. It was a square building, two stories high, with a gallery around three sides of it. The pews were box pews, wherein one-half of the congregation were forced to sit staring into the faces of the other half, while the minister, from some hidden corner, mysteriously thun- dered forth his expositions of the law and the gospel, un- seen by the larger part of his congregation. That our fathers were a church-going people speaks volumes in praise of their devotion and self-sacrifice. In 1852 the church was torn down. Early religious meetings were held in houses, barns, school-houses, or in the woods, as circum- stances dictated or allowed. Among the early preachers were Samuel Covill, Asa Cummings, and Rev. Mr. Meeker, who held services before 1802.


EDINBURGH HILL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


This church was first organized previous to 1824, but had no house of worship till some time about 1835, when a church was built. It was a frame building, about thirty- six by forty feet in dimensions, and had no belfry or tower. This building was torn down in 1871, and a new church erected, at a cost of $1400. This new church was dedi- cated in 1872, Rev. J. K. Wager delivering the sermon ou that occasion. It is a good wooden building, well finished and tasty in appearance.


Among the first members of the society were Peleg Tenant, David Rhodes, John Hill, David Nicholson, Mrs. D. Rhodes, Betsey Hill, Thomas Francisco, and Norman Rhodes.


The ministers who are known to have ministered to this church are Rev. Mr. Potter, Rev. Mr. Miner, Rev. Mr. Sherman, Rev. Mr. Stead, Rev. Mr. Lake, Rev. Mr. Mo- ranti, Rev. Mr. Pomeroy, Rev. Mr. Coville, Revs. George W. Farrington, J. K. Wager, H. Slocum, S. M. Williams, J. W. Butcher, Amos Osborne, F. K. Potter, John Som- ner, E. L. Arnold, and H. H. Smith. The first Sunday- school in this neighborhood was organized about 1830. Norman Rhodes was the first superintendent. It was a quite small school, and has grown a little from year to year, mutil it now numbers about fifty scholars. Henry Van Avery is the superintendent.


METIIODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF BEECHIER'S HOLLOW.


The first religious meetings connected with the incipient stages of the growth of this church were held at various times and places previous to 1815. One of the most prom- inent places of meeting was the house of Mr. James Bar- ker. At the times when quarterly meetings were held there the attendance would be very large, many people coming ten, fifteen, or twenty miles to attend the services. At such times the hospitality of the brethren was freely given, and it is said that at one of these meetings Mr. Icha- bod Barker housed and fed forty persons and cared for their teams.


The church was not organized till several years later, and held its meetings in the school-house until the church was built. The church is a plain, square, wooden structure, with a belfry and bell, and is valued at $2500. Its first cost was about $800, but additions, improvements, aud re- pairs have increased its value to the above amount. Rev. Mr. Braytou and Rev. Mr. Stead were among the earlier preachers.


Rev. II. H. Smith is the present pastor. Newman L. Barker, John Steers, Lysander Edwards, and Arad Cope- land are the stewards.


Except for a short time immediately after its organization, a Sunday-school has been maintained, in connection with the church. Amos Barker, superintendent, and John Steers, assistant superintendent, are the present officers.


PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF BATCHELLERVILLE.


The second religious society formed in the town of Edin- burgh was the Edinburgh Congregational society. A meet- ing was held on Sept. 5, 1808, at the house of James

HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.


Goodwin, Esq., at which twenty-one people were present. James Goodwin, Esq., was chairman, and Israel Woodford was clerk. Rev. Mr. Haight, of Galway, instituted the church, which was composed of the following members : Daniel, Lydia, and Lucy Knight, Isaac and Sally Noyes, David and Lydia Stoddard, Phineas and Polly Warren, David C. and Ennice Jones, John and Susan Gordon, Eben- ezer and Sarah Sherwin, Lydia Beecher, Sally Houghtalin, Abigail Stimson, James and Abigail Goodwin, and Israel Woodford.


Occasional meetings were held at school-houses and pri- vate houses till 1813-14, when a revival was experienced, and a large number of members added to the church. Most of these new members lived at the Fish House (Northamp- ton ), and in 1815 a church was built by the society in that village. Meetings were held alternately there and in Edinburgh. Meantime, the society had become Presbyte- rian in form and doctrine. In 1824, by the aid of many citizens of the town, who desired a place in which to hold town and political meetings, the society was enabled to build a church in Edinburgh. The edifice was erected on the road that crosses the river near its junction with the river- road from Huntsville to Beccher's Hollow. The foundation and grave-yard are still there to mark the spot. This church was built in the old style,-wide and low, with a steep roof. There was a gallery across the rear end. Mrs. Alexander Armstrong made a pencil sketch of the building just before it was torn down, and this sketch has been photographed, and several pictures are preserved in the neighborhood.


This church, dedicated in 1824, was occupied until 1866, when it was abandoned and torn down. In 1824 the society divided, part going to the Northampton church, and part remaining in Edinburgh. In 1831 the church received permission to change its form of government, and became a Congregational society, though still maintaining its rela- tions to, and connection with, Albany presbytery.


This state of affairs continued until the year 1866, when the church gave up its mixed character and became a purely Presbyterian society.


At this time they abandoned the old house of worship, and, procuring a site in the village of Batchellerville, erected there a very fine church at a cost of $8000. The outside of the building presents a fine appearance. The inside is finished in black walnut, and the walls are beautifully fres- coed. The bell, weighing one thousand and forty pounds, was purchased from Meneely's bell-foundry, in 'Froy, at a cost of upwards of $500. It is of fine tone and quality.


The list of church officers comprises the names of James Goodwin, Isaac Noyes, Sr., Abraham Beecher, Isaac Noyes, Jr., Joseph Corey, Henry Bartlett, John Ford, Henry Herrick, and Willis Noyes, who were deacons; and Isaac Noyes, Sr., Phineas Warren, Wmn. W. Elliott, Harvey Goodwin, Abraham Beecher, Willard Trowbridge, Salmon Hunt, Godfrey I. Shew, and Isane Noyes, Jr., were elders.


The first minister who is recorded as sustaining the pas- toral relation to this church was Rev. N. M. Wells, who preached for them in 1814. He was followed in order by Rev. Lebbeus Armstrong, Rev. Mr. Williams, Rev. Joseph Farrar, Rev. Halsey A. Wood, Rev. Mr. Monteith, Rev. M. Donalds, Rev. Benjamin II. Pitman, Rev. Royal A.


Avery, Rev. P. R. Burnham, Rev. H. Rinker, Rev. S. P. Rollo, Rev. L. H. Pease (who served several months in the armny as chaplain of the Forty-fourth New York Infantry), Rev. Isaac De Voc, Rev. B. P. Johnson, Rev. Henry Lan- cashire, Rev. II. C. Stanton. Rev. Mr. Bryant is the present pastor.


The total number of names appearing on the church rolls show that at different times over six hundred persons have been members. These have dropped off in various ways, and the membership is about one hundred and seventy.


The Sabbath-school has about one hundred and thirty members, and is in a very prosperous condition. Wm. S. De Golia is the superintendent, F. E. Noyes the assistant superintendent, and Wm. W. Davenport secretary and treasurer.


VIII .- BURIAL-PLACES.


The first burial was Alfred Perry, a child of James Perry, two or three years old. This was about 1802. There was no road for wagons, and Azariah Ellithorp carried the coffin before him on horseback to the Hewitt burying-ground. There, surrounded by a group of mourning friends and sym- pathizing pioneers, the little one was laid to rest, waiting the resurrection of the just.


IX .- PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST.


In the eastern part of the town, on the south side of the river, near the line of Day, traces of an Indian burying- ground are seen. Bones and skulls have frequently been brought to the surface by the plow and harrow. Arrow- heads, tomahawks, and other warlike implements have fre- quently been found there. It is supposed that at some carly day a party of Indians camped by the river, or, attempting to cross it, were attacked by another party, and a fierce battle fought.


X .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.


The town is not favorable to agriculture, and general farming is only limited in extent. Some portions of the town afford good pasturage for stock-raising and for dairy purposes. The people are, however, largely engaged in wood business, in lumbering, mills, tanneries, and mann- factories.


Bachellerville in 1833 consisted of two dwellings, a saw- mill, and a grist-mill. The water-power and mills at that time passed entirely into the hands of Ambrose Bateheller. In 1837, Sherman and Samuel Batcheller came to this place and built a new shop where the present Noyes & Early shop stands. This shop has been twice burned and rebuilt, once in February, 1851, and again in 1859. In 1848 the saw- mill that stood on the site of De Golia's shop was torn down and a larger shop built. In 1853, Sherman Batcheller built the present King, Snow & Co.'s shop. The one shop was sold to Lucien De Golia in 1858. The other remained in Sanmel Batcheller's hands until 1865, when it was sokl to Benjamin R. Jenkins. In 1876 it passed into the hands of Samuel Batcheller, and from him to Noyes & Early, the present occupants. This shop manufactures half-bushels and smaller measures, and barrel-covers. It employs from ten to twenty men.


376


HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.


The shop built in 1853 by Sherman Batcheller was, in 1860, sold to Ilenry C. Whitney. In 1864 it was sold to Cyrus Sumner. In 1868, George S. Batcheller bought it, and in 1869 sold it to King, Steers & Persons. In 1870 it was sold to the present owners, King, Snow & Co. They employ about fifteen hands, and turn out an annual product of four hundred to five hundred dozen nests of flour-buckets, five thousand lard-tubs, and five thousand tobacco-pails. They use an overshot water-wheel, about seventeen feet in diameter, with eleven-feet wide buckets.


In 1858, Lucien De Golia and Levi Porter began the manufacture of washboards in the old shop he purchased of S. & S. Batcheller. In 1863 high water carried off the dam and shop. Lucien De Golia then went to work and rebuilt the shop a little further down than the old one, and resumed business on an enlarged scale. In 1867 he took out a patent on what is called the " Combination Washboard," one side being zine and the other wood. In 1876, on the 26th of July, this shop was destroyed by fire, and a heavy loss fell on its proprietor. It was immediately rebuilt, how- ever, and the business resumed with vigor. The present firm is L. De Golia & Son. They manufacture about a dozen different kinds of boards. Their power is furnished by a sixty horse-power engine, with one large boiler. The engine-house, which is built of stone and is fire-proof, is about thirty feet square. This engine drives about thirty different pieces of machinery, which take the lumber in the log and send it out in finished boards. They use about five thousand market logs each year. They are hard wood, spruce, and basswood. They also use from one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and forty thousand pounds of sheet zine in a year. They employ thirty-five hands, and turn out an annual product of twenty-five thou- sand dozen finished boards.


Joseph L. Snow kept the first store in Batehellerville. Ilenry C. Whitney kept the first hotel. The latter also built and ran a small wooden-ware shop in 1855 and 1856.


There was a shoe-peg factory here at one time.


XI .- MILITARY.


Of the heroes of the Revolution, several came and settled in this town. Among them we find the following names : Jonathan Smith was a captain in the continental army. Azariah EHlithorp served under Washington in Pennsylvania ; was at the battle of Trenton, and passed the winter at Valley Forge. Samuel Stimson was at the battle of Bunker Hill. Isaac Noyes, Sr., Sampson Hosley, Johnt Gordon, Samuel Downing, Robert and Benjamin Sum- ner were all veterans of that fateful struggle.


The War of 1812 also called out a good many citizens of the town. The following is as perfect a list as we have been able to obtain : Orderly Sergt. Silas Washburne re- moved to the west and died there. John Akley lives in Edinburgh, aged eighty-six years. Ananias lives in Stouy Creek, Warren county. Win. Vanavery died in Water- ford. Daniel Buckalow died in Fulton county. Myron White died in Edinburgh. Nathaniel Robinson died in Edinburgh. Ephraim Potter moved to Black river country and died. Wm. Hill died in Orleans county. Solomon Scott moved to the west. Lieutenant John Brown died in
