James Bennett was on No. 68 at an early period, and is recollected as one of the early town officers, being elected Overseer of Highways in 1799, while a short distance north, on No. 64, David Harris had moved in and settled in 1800, where J. R. Schuyler now resides. A store was kept in 1801 by Harris, at the place indicated as his improvement. In 1805 there came one Robert White, and located on the same tract. A half-mile west of McDnffectown resided John Blaine, from Pennsylvania. Mr. Blaine is now an aged resident of Seneca Falls. Near the lake, on the lot in question, dwelt the pioneer, Joseph Burroughs. On No. 82, a tailor, from New Jersey, David Edwards by name, had acquired one hundred acres, whereon, in 1820, he built and kept a tavern. Abram Arnold, also from New Jersey, had about fifty acres on the northwest part, where he died, and Dennis VanDuyne, some time about 1830, became its possessor. Colby Lane, a gentleman from away down East, bought one hundred and fifty acres on No. 78, upon which he erected and conducted a small ashery, having abandoned one previously built on the farm now owned by W. H. Gambec. He obtained some celebrity as a narrator of extravagant stories, among which was the exploit of having mowed "seven acres and forty-four rods" (the exact number of rods indi- cating accuracy) "within the compass of a day, and then attended a ball and danced all night." His remains lie unmarked by any head-stone, and over him each summer brings a growth of rank vegetation, while the memory of his exist- ence here is perpetnated in the tales of an idle hour. On the southeast corner of Lot 74, Henry Gardner, from New Jersey, resided upon two hundred acres of a farm, in 1805. One night, while engaged in husking corn, his quick ear detected the stealthy approach of some wild beast; being naarmed, he hastened within his honse, which was not distant. On going back, afterwards, he found the tracks of a panther in the snow, which showed that it had passed directly over his fodder- pile. His death, which took place in 1813, resulted from the kick of a horse. His farm is now owned by W. H. Gambee and W. H. Reeder. John Gambee, from Pennsylvania, purchased four hundred acres east of tho road, on Lots 66 and 70, and erected a frame saw-mill upon the north end of the former. This mill, together with others later built and lower down, was washed away by one of those sudden freshets which converted a quiet brook to a raging, resistless torrent. George Fridley erceted a clover-mill on the same site, and did an extensive busi- Dess in milling clover-seed until its purchase by Jesse Abbott, by whom it was changed to a saw-mill. The land owned by Mr. Gambee was bestowed upon his children at his death, and has aince gone into other hands.
On No. 62 settled Andrew Hood, on the aonth end of the lot, and after various ownership the estate has become the property of N. Robinson, who has lived upon it many years. East of Hood, George Alexander resided on a forty-acre

piece, now the property of Rev. D. Willers, who was a soldier, and a participant in the famous battle of Waterloo. Philip Frantz made an carly settlement upon fifty acres on the northwest part of the lot. His son-in-law, Mr. Bergstresser, was on the north part of the lot. A farm was owned in the southeast corner of 83 . by Henry Gardner, and his son Joseph hecame heir to it at his father's decease. .Silas Allen and Isaac Whitehead, two enterprising men, had constructed a grist- mill in 1819 on this lot, which was run for many years, and finally burned down about 1857. A saw-mill was placed upon the site, which has since been permitted to pass into decay. Simon Singer, the Lautenschlagers, Hiram Wheeler, Aaron P. Roberts, and Michael Ritter are well remembered as pioneers in various parts "of the Reservation, but their exact location, trades, and offices we have been . unable to obtain. Near Bearytown lived Benjamin and Henry Cooney, Henry Beary, and George Miller. The advantages to be derived from schooling were not ignored, as is proved by the building in 1810 or '11 of a hewed-log school-house upon Lot 76. A trio of teachers in this scholastic resort for the children of the reserve were Joseph Burroughs, J. A. Christopher, and A. P. Roberts.
EAST VARICK
is a small hamlet situated on Cayuga Lake. The place contains one store, a neat, commodious, brick-built hotel, a blacksmith's shop, and about a dozen dwellings. The post-office is kept by R. P. Roberts, from whom the neighboring population. receive a tri-weekly mail. The post-office at Bearytown (Fayette P. O.) is in Varick, on the Reservation, and Charles Robinson is the Post- master ... Much the greater part of the village is in the town of Fayette; but there is in Varick a store, a church, and a school-house.
FIRST POST-OFFICE-EARLY TEACHERS.
The lands and location of Variek especially adapt it to the purposes of tillage and grazing, and aside from these industries there has been little done, save so far as the nieeds of occupants have given rise to the various more professional or mechanical pursuits. The first post-office in the town of Varick was started in 1820, in the tavern of Benjamin Lemmon, he being Postmaster. It was short- lived, and removed to Fayette, whenee it had been taken. About 1834, Thomas Caton, who kept a tavern a mile east of Lemmon's stand, obtained a post-office, which was called Varick Post-Office. Benjamin Lemmon was his successor, fol- lowed by J. Y. Gambee, R. B. Murrey, and John Crane, and it is now held by Henry Dey, office one mile west of Lemmon's old stand. A pioneer school-house was, in 1810, built upon the northeast corner of No. 60, and known as the Beaeli- town school-house; it was a framed structure, put up with subscribed funds, and, could the old list be furnished, it would be of value in this connection as a test of interest and liberality. The early teachers were foreigners, or Eastern men, and often men well advanced in life. With few advantages of room or books, they nevertheless conveyed much valuable instruction to the children who congregated from their log homes, going by winding paths to the school. The first school- master in the "Beachtown Academy" was Lewis Cass, who was succeeded by Mccullough, hoth from over the water. A man named Barnes was " ye peda- gogue" in this school about 1815.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
The practice has been observed in general, and in localities still continues, of holding religious exercises in school buildings. Among those who held meetings in this house and in the neighborhood, were Rev. Youngs, a Presbyterian divine, in 1812, Revs. Loundsburry and Barton. The celebrated and eccentrie Lorenzo Dow was known in this neighborhood, and delivered' several of his characteristic sermons. before large audiences, whose curiosity brought them from considerable distances. John Caton was a minister sent out by the Baptists to keep alive the remembrance of religious privileges enjoyed in the eastern home. These avant couriers of societies and churches were rightly denominated circuit preachers and missionaries .:. Many the mile traveled through forest and clearing, and rough their experience !' The year 1806 seems to have been a special date when they traversed the inter-lake country, and then gave way to the more settled and localized preacher. An instance is noted of a Methodist being prostrated by fever and ague, and, in his own language, " compelled to lie in a settler's cabin for three days, stretched out upon three chairs," and then, weak, but resolute, proceeding on his extended round. .
FIRST FRAME-FIRST. STORE.
The event of raising a frame dwelling was of no little importance in a period as early as 1794, when: Benjamin Dey erected a large frame, the first in town, upon. Lot No. 49., The old landmark weathered the blasts of wellnigh seventy winters, and succumbed to the fiery element in 1863. The second, built on Lot. 60, in 1800, yet stands. A store was built at Lemmon's Corners in 1819, by
Lemmon, and was the pioneer" establishment in the west part of the town. Three years previously, a store had been started at Romulusville, on the present site of the hotel, and kept by Messrs. Gay and MeKing. As already intimated,. the tavern-keeping of the settling and migration period was extensively followed.
VARICK INNS AND INNKEEPERS.
The hosts of Variek inns were Hezekiah Knowles, who, in 1826, was found at Dey's Landing, where he gathered sufficient traffic to warrant the construction of a warehouse; Benjamin Lemmon, the pioneer landlord in this section, in 1814 or 1815; and a third in Romulusville was George Alexander, established at an early day. A blacksmith was employed on Lot 60, hy David Dey, in 1820. The first saw-mill was built by B. Dey in 1798, and a grist-mill in 1804, near Seneca Lake.
BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS.
Death called, and Peter Basum and Garrett Jacobus answered,, in 1812; Steele, in 1816, and B. Dey, in 1824. John Dey and Polly Mcknight were born in 1801, Peter L. Dey in 1802, Caroline Dey in 1803, and Mary Dey in 1805. Matrimonial alliances were governed by the influx of the marriageable. and it is to be regretted that no record has been kept by justice or minister. Tunis Dey was married in 1816 to Susan Dey, and James McKnight found a bride in 1821. Dr. Watson settled at " Appletown," on Seneca Lake, in 1800, and was the sole representative of the profession in that place for the time .. Early roads were rare, the first being along Sencea Lake from Geneva to Ithaca,-later a post road and a turnpike. As late as 1809, foot-paths led along the high grounds from Romulusville, then a small group of freshly-built log houses. . A common lot rendered hardship easier. Elkanah Watson, sleeping within a cabin as a luxury, longed for morning, and wished himself by the log-fire in the open air; and women and young children entered the cabin-home without a murmur, although it lacked a roof or the bed was upon a blanket in the corner, as was the experience of Mr. Darrow, one among the many. Much may be written, and yet not a realiza- tion be reached of the privations and difficulties of early inhabitants, and yet that very simplicity of fare and life laid the foundation for that vitality which has made Seneca the home of aged men and women. Settlers in Varick made food of the squirrels that depredated upon their growing crop, and the housewife found the gooseberry, cranberry, and wild plum no poor substitute for the sauce and preserves of the East. There was a landless class of men frequenting the clearings and working by contract, who were kept busy by the pioneers in en- larging the area of tillable lands. Sickness added to hardships, and the fever and the ague kept them ill through all the summer. Milling was done at Scauyes with oxen drawing sleds. The women did their carding by hand, and colored with bark of the butternut. The summer clothing was made from the fibre of flax.
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES-CHURCHES.
Contemporary with settlement begios the history of religion. It is known that Mr. John Fleming came into the town of Romulus in 1790, and brought with him sheep, hogs, and other stock-the first introduced to the locality. With this gentleman begins the religious history of this community. Ile was a person of exemplary piety ; his home was the favorite spot for holding meetings, and there the weary missionary found unstinted hospitality and genuine welcome. He readily made the acquaintance of every professor of religion that came into the settlement, and encouraged him to perseverance. To his credit be it spoken, that, with laud- able zeal, he cach Sunday afternoon assembled his neighbors and their children at his house for the study of the Westminster Catechism. This exercise was sig- nally blessed to many families who attended, and thus were brought to bear influ- ences which prepared the way for the organization of a church. 'A few years after Mr. Fleming's settlement here, the MeKnight, Louden, Barr, and Dey families, who were all in sentiment Presbyterian, settled in the west end of Varick. To theae Rev. Daniel Thatcher was sent out by the. General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, and paid them visits from 1795 to 1796. He organized a society from the few professing Christians, and appointed John Fleming, Alla Mc- Math, and Henry Wharton its elders. The death of. Mr. Fleming occurred on, De- cember 7, 1800, and Mr. Wharton removing, the new organization heeame extinct. John Slemons and John Patterson, licentiates, were known to the neighborhood in 1798, and a third, R. Logan, in 1799. The Rev. John Lindsley was sent out by the Presbyterian General Assembly, and preached in this locality during 1800. It was in the summer of this year that the Indian missionary visited the settle- ment. An occasional sermon was preached in the neighborhood by Rev. Chap- man, of Geneva. Besides those named, the Reverends Conrad, TenEyek, and Brokaw, of the Reformed Dutch Missionary Society, as well as Seth Williston, Hezekiah N. Woodruff, and Reuben Parmele, were clerical visitors at the settle- ment. The Presbyterian Church of Romulus, now Varick. was organized on . April 2, 1802, by Rev. J. Chapman, of the Presbyterian General Assembly, and

consisted of fourteen members, namely, Alla MeMath, Elder Jesse Brewster, Elder and Deacon Henry Beers, Elder and Deacon James McKnight, Peter Huff, Frederick Boganour, Hannah Barr MeKnight, A. V. Huff, Rachel S. Brewster, Elisabeth B. VanCourt, Jane W. MeKnight, Catharine B. Stottle, Mahel K. McMath, and Mary M. Karr. The church was connected with the Geneva Pres- bytery on September 17, 1805. A religious society, called the " First Presby- terian Congregation of Romulus," was incorporated the 6th of April, 1807, and the certificate of the same dnly recorded. The first pastor of this church was Rev. Charles Mosher, whose ordination and installation took place on August 9, 1807. In default of a church made by human hands, a grove-one of God's first temples, closely allied to nature-gave space beneath the forest trees for the performance of this impressive ceremony. Mr. Mosher was dismissed October 17, 1814, and took charge of the church in Genoa, East, for two years ; of the Phelps Church, three years; was in Clyde, Junins, and Reading, at which last place he died, November 5, 1858. This minister was well adapted to the work of building up pioneer organizations. Under his ministration, one hundred and ten souls were admitted to communion, and the membership largely increased. The first meeting-house of this church, and in the town of Varick, was erected under his pastorate, on the lot now ocenpied for a burying-ground. In dimen- sions it waa forty-five by fifty-five feet. It was a frame house, and adorned by a ateeple. The building was taken on contract in the fall of 1808, by Mr. Darrow and Captain Marvin, and dedicated to worship, October 22, 1809. The location proving inconvenient, a new site was selected, and the present neat and commo- dious house of worship erected, at a cost of $6000. The dedication took place February 1, 1838. The following is a list of the several pastors since the time of Rev. Mosher. Rev. Moses Young was installed March 8, 1815. His labors ended with death, October 15, 1824. George W. Elliott served as stated supply six months following. Rev. Morris Barton was installed December, 1825, and continued to February 4, 1846. His pastorate extended over a period of twenty- one ycars, during which time the new edifice was upreared. Edward Lord was stated supply in June, 1846, and regularly installed October 20, 1847. Later pastors were Richard VanNess, I. N. Rosencrans, J. C. Smith, Rev. Simpkins, and J. W: Jacks, the present supply. A Sunday-school, superintended by Pierson Jacobus, has one hundred scholars, and a library of two hundred volumes.
The Methodist Church has two societies in the town of Varick. The one at McDuffeetown was formed in 1810. Primitive meetings were held in the school- honse at the lake. Among the names of the first members are found those nf James and Robert MeDuffce, Elias and Phoebe Christopher, and nf Aunt Betsey McDuffce, who joined in 1811, and is still an active member. The men whose names we have given were the first chinrch officers. A partial list of the preachers to this church gives Father Bidlack and Revs. Rhodes, Barnes, and Palmer Roberts. The first clinreh structure was built in 1832, at a cost of $800. The same house, with slight additions, is still in use, and has a nominal value only. The society has a membership of one hundred and fifteen. The second society was formed at Bearytown, in 1858. The original members were Norman and Sarah Robinson, Enoch and Eliza Emens, Dr. Emens and wife, A. Flickner and wife, John Deal and wife, James MeDuffee and wife, and others. The male members we have named were the first officials. The society now consists of aome fifty-three members. The church building was purchased of the Baptists, and still serves the congregation. The preachers are the same as served the ad- jacent society. At Romulusville is a frame church building, erected in 1875, by the Catholic denomination, Father O'Connor, pastor, the history of whose society has not been learned.
THE RECORDS.
The political history of the town of Varick dates from the first town-meeting, held April 6, 1830. A search through the records discloses a formal procedure, following custom, whereby roads were laid, overseers elected, bounties offered, pen- alties affixed, ear-marks described, taxes voted, legal fences defined, and the poor provided for.
As a matter of interest and reference, we present the early officials of the town. The Trustees of the School and Gospel Funds, in 1820, were Benjamin Lemmon, Elijah Kennegyan, and Benjamin Sutton. The result of the first election gave: Anthony Dey, Supervisor ; Jacob P. Chamberlain, Clerk ; David Edwards, Thomas Burroughs, and Jacob Hathaway, Assessors; William and Jacob Hathaway, Over- scers of the Poor; Tunis Dey, David Harris, and George Crobaugh, Commissioners of Highways; A. Dey, J. P. Chamberlain, and T. Burroughs, County Commis- sioners of Schools; S. Blair, S. Lerch, and P. L. Dey, Trustees of Town Funds; William MeCarty, Mather Marvin, and Henry Swan, Inspectors of Schools; S. Lerch, Henry Swan, William Williams, and S. Fleming, Conatables; the last was also Collector.

VARICK SOLDIERS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
While Varick'a quota was partly filled by men in the Southern Statea, yet those who went from the town, and they were many, acquitted themselves very credit- ably, and we give here a brief record of each soldier, so far as we have been able to obtain it.
