PERSONAL SKETCHES.
THE WILSON FAMILY.
In the late winter, or early spring, of 1732, Ralph Wilson aod his wife left their home in Ireland and emigrated to America. Just as their voyage was ended and the vessel reached the American shores, they had a son born to them, whom they named David. The family soon made for themselves a home in Tinicum, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In 1739, after establishing a residence in this new land, Ralph and his wife obtained a certificate of church-membership from the Presbyterian Church of Stow, dated April 30, 1739. The family continued to live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. About the year 1760, David, son of Ralph, married Ann Morrison. Four children were born to them; one daughter (Mary) married Andrew Dunlap. From this time for a number of years the interests of the families of Wilson and Dunlap were, to a great extent, identical. During the Revolutionary war, Andrew Dunlap was in the service as teamster. Joseph Wilson, son of David, at the time of the war, then a young lad, was at times engaged as a helper in the blacksmith-shop of his uncle Francis, and, when General Sullivan's army was sent out to subdue the Indians, assisted in shoeing the horses used in that campaign. Upon the return of the soldiers of Sullivan's army to their homes, they gave such a glowing description of the country through which they had passed that the families of Wilson and Dunlap became much in- terested, and determined to sec some of the country for themselves. Accordingly, in the spring of the year 1789, Joseph Wilson, Andrew Dunlap, Robin Dunlap, William Dunlap, George Dunlap, IIngh Jimison, and William Roberts left their homes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and followed up the Delaware and Sus- quehauna Rivers until they came to what is now Elmira. Here they made their course to the head of Seneca Lake. They prospected quite extensively between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. They went around Seneca Lake by the way of what is now Geneva. At that time Geneva was inhabited by only one white person, who was trading with the Indians. They found no trace of any white settle- ment between Geneva and Watkins on the west side of Seneca Lake. They then followed mainly the trail of General Sullivan's army on the cast side of the lake, until they arrived in the vicinity of Lodi Landing, as it is now called. Here, it is said, the seven men lodged comfortably in the hollow of a buttonwood tree; and here, it is also said, the first sucker-fishing was done by the party, and that, too, in a very primitive way, merely stepping into the creek and throwing out the fish with their hands. In this vicinity the party determined to locate, and soon after erected a log cabin near the southwest corner of Military Lot No. 8, in the town of Ovid. This cabin was joint property, and was the home and for the protection of the whole party. They all settled near this place, or within a few miles. Andrew Dunlap chose Lot No. 8, and Joseph Wilson the south half of Lot 17, aud inscribed his initials and the date on a beech-tree, May 12, 1789. The other members of the party located within a few miles of their cabin home. The party remained during the summer, making all the improvements possible, elcaring the land and sowing winter wheat, the seed for which some of them were obliged to go some distance down the Susquehanna River to obtain. The next winter all of the party, except Wm. Dunlap, returned to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for a new lot of supplies. In the following spring, the six returned to their chosen houses. Now, improvement is the order of the day.
Soon other settlers located near them, and in a few years a goodly number of sturdy men and women had settled in this beautiful and healthy country. In April, 1793, a triple marriage took place, the first in the town of Ovid. The parties were Joseph Wilson and Anna Wyckoff, Abram A. Covert and Catharine Covert, Enoch Stewart and Jane Covert. They were obliged to cross Seneca Lake to find a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony. The marriage cer- tificate of Joseph Wilson and Anda Wyckoff is preserved, and is dated on the 30th day of April, A.D. 1793, and signed by James Parker. There is also a cer- tificate of Joseph Wilson's character preserved. The following is a copy :
" This certifieth that the bearer, Joseph Wilson, was born in the bounds of thia congregation, of sober, creditable parents, with whom he lived until the spring of
the year 1789, and supported a fair and unspotted character; and was then, and, as far as our knowledge serves, is yet, free from publick scandal or church censure.

" TINICUM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Jan'y 12th, 1792."
The privations and hardships endured by all pioneers were encountered by Joseph Wilson and his neighbors. The produce raised in excess of home con- sumption found no market nearer than what is now Elmira. In a few years, the family of Joseph Wilson growing up about him, and having the help within him- self to carry it on, he erected a distillery, the products of which were mostly sold in Philadelphia. This, it must be remembered, was at a time when it was uni- versally thought necessary to have their glass of some kind of liquor before each meal, and no one was considered social who did not bring out the bottle when called upon by a friend. This state of things existed until the year 1830, when the two great causes of temperance and religion stirred the minds and hearts of the people all over the land. Among those who at this early day saw and felt the evils of intemperance was Joseph Wilson, who at once gave up the business of distilling and became a stanch teetotaler. He united with the Presbyterian Church April 3, 1830. His wife had joined the same church nearly five years previous, viz., on the 16th of July, 1825. Joseph Wilson made farming the main business of his life.
He had little to do with politics, but for many years had largely to do with making the highways of the town, and in all such matters his judgment was conclusive. He and his wife died amidst the comforts their own energy had so largely created. His wife died December 12, 1846, aged seventy-four years. Joseph Wilson died April 14, 1849, aged eighty-five years. They had twelve children. The oldest, David Wilson, who was a soldier in the war of 1812, is still living. The ninth child, Aaron Wilson, was born May 13, 1808. His early educational advantages were quite limited. In his younger. years he worked on his father's farm, and when he arrived at his majority still lived with his father. At the age of twenty-five years he married Julia M. Ben- nett, of Scipio, Cayuga County, New York. The marriage took place Decem- ber 25, 1833. Ten children, seven sons and three daughters, have grown up to manhood and womanhood as the fruit of this marriage. Two of their sons, Almon H. and Irvin B., were soldiers in the late war of the rebellion. They were both members of the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiment of New York State Volunteers, and served their country with great credit. Almon is now a resident of the State of Nebraska, as is also one of his married sisters. In the year 1840, Aaron Wilson united with the Baptist Church of Scott's Corners, and has been intimately connected with the interests of said church ever since; and when the Baptist church in Ovid Village was erected, very largely contributed to the enterprise. His wife, Julia M. Bennett, joined the Baptist Church at Scipio, Cayuga County, New York, in the year 1831, and united with the Baptist Church at Scott's Corners in 1834. In questions of morals and in the general good of the neighborhood, he has ever been on the side of what was right and for the best interests of his neighbors. In early life he pledged himself to the cause of tem- perance, and has lived a life in accordance with his early pledge. And now, at the age of nearly seventy years, he, with his wife and three of his children, are living on part of the farm reclaimed from the wilderness by his father and family since 1789.
Aaron Wilson and his wife do not boast of having done any great thing, but have made it the best efforts of their lives, by precept and example, to bring up their family to ornament and benefit society. And now they say, " Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth." They feel that their life-work ia nearly ended, and hope what is left to them of this life may not be spent in vain. OVID, May 18, 1876.
SENECA FALLS.
QUICK to note natural advantages, Elkanah Watson, on September 20, 1791, in company with Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, General Philip Van Cortlandt, and Stephen N. Bayard, Esq., had stemmed the rapid current of the narrow Seneca River and reached the foot of Seneca Falls, marked the advantages of the site, and prepared to organize the Bayard Company, which so long, as noted in County history, held in control the fine water-power and retarded the growth of the vil- lage. Watson records the presence of land pioneers, rude and uncouth, but a useful race, calculated to subdue the forest and pave the way for better civiliza- tion. Of this class was Job Smith, who kept the carrying place at the Falls, had a comfortable log house, and had made considerable improvements. Lawrence Van Cleef's double log was built in 1790, near Smith, and in the fall he brought out his family. The first white child born here was Mrs. Jane Goodwin, daughter of Lawrence and Sally Van Cleef. She was born November 29, 1790, and lived long a resident of the village. Van Cleef had six children, Polly, Jane, Martha, George, Harriet, and Sally. Polly, Martha, and Harriet are at this date still living. In 1794, Van Cleef learned that the " State's Hundred," which he had bought of fraudulent parties for five hundred dollars, was to be sold at Albany by the State. With one thousand eight hundred dollars in specie, and carrying an axe to ward off suspicion, he traveled to Albany, and arrived to see the land bid from him by Bayard & Co., for whom Colonel Mynderse was agent. It brought two thousand eight hundred dollars. Van Cleef returning, opened a tavern in his double log house, and, as Smith soon went away, is known as Seneca Falls' first settler .. About 1794, Van Cleef put up the first frame building in the place. It was located on Lot No. 9 of the village, and was eighteen feet square and one and a half stories high. Later, two bedrooms were added, and, when owned by Deacon David Lum, a square room was added to the front. It was finally torn down to make place for a livery stable by Jacob Johnson, whose heirs sold to the Norcotts, present owners of the lot. Van Cleef moved into his frame house, and a Mr. Parkhurst and family, from Connecticut, occupied the log house, and continued the business of tavern-keeping given up by Van Cleef. Previous to 1795, four or five families had settled in. Chance Methodist min- isters passed the night here, and a Dr. Holbrook made a brief visit. Dr. Pitney was at Seneca Falls in 1806, and boarded with Lewis Birdsall, a mile west of the village. The first death among the settlers was that of Mrs. Smith, in 1793; the family were at the time boarding with Van Cleef. The first settled minister located at the village in 1808, and was a Presbyterian, by name John Stewart.
TAVERNS.
In the year 1798 two taverns were built. The first of these, a frame, was erected by Mr. Parkhurst, on the corner of Fall and Cayuga Streets, where now stands the Globe Hotel. This tavern, with additions, stood till 1862, when it was demolished to make room for the Globe. After Parkhurst, in keeping this tavern, came the Widow Matthews, from Amsterdam, in 1801. Then James Cotton, the builder of a part of the Genesce Turnpike; after him Hugh McAl- lister, from 1814 to 1815. It was with McAllister that the Canadian Governor and retinne passed a night at this time.
