brush and nearly killed himself, from the recoil of the gun, which he always loaded with a handful of powder, and the entire contents of the old-fashioned brass moulds,-an ounce ball and nineteen buckshot of various sizes.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindsley were members of the Presby- terian Church at Morristown, N. J., and in this new settle- ment the Sabbath was strictly observed. Traveling mis- sionaries were cordially welcomed, and when none of these were present to conduct the religious services, Col. Linds- ley himself would read a sermon. In 1793 he was elected a member of the Legislature. He died at home soon after, and his remains were the first to be placed in the plat he had himself selected for the cemetery of the colony, his death taking place in June, 1794. This cemetery is situ- ated on the left bank of the river, and contains the remains of many of the early pioneers. It is known as the Linds- ley Burying-ground. His was the first death in the new colony, which lost in him an energetic and worthy founder. Col. Lindsley was accompanied to his new home in the Tioga Valley by his two sons, Samuel and Eleazer, and by his sons-in-law, Dr. Ezekiel Mulford, Ebenezer Bachus, and Capt. John Seelye. David Cook and David Payne, who, in company with Mr. Bachus, built the first mill at Lindley Station, also accompanied the colony. Eliza Mul- ford, daughter of Dr. Ezekiel Mulford, was the first child born in Lindley, and first white female child born in the county of Steuben, her birth occurring Aug. 10, 1792. David Cook and Elizabeth Cady were the first couple united in marriage. Col. Lindsley, before his death, had erected a saw-mill, the irons for which he had brought with him from New Jersey, and which was in operation in 1790, being one of the first mills on the Phelps and Gorham pur- chase, and the first in the Tioga Valley. This mill was located at a fall, a short distance up Watson Creek. The first grist-mill was built soon after, between this and the river. Mrs. Lindsley, after the death of her husband, kept the first public-house between Williamsport and Bath, and entertained Col. Williamson and his crew on their early journey through the wilderness. She died in Lindleytown, Nov. 20, 1806.
Many of the descendants of the Lindsley, Mulford, and Seelye families still live in the Tioga and adjoining valleys. The principal descendant of the Lindsley family is Bradley Lindsley, who occupies the original home of his grand- father, much improved and beautified, but still exhibiting the old style of liberal hospitality and welcome. Charles Ford, only son of the first merchant in the valley, and grandson of Col. Lindsley, married the daughter of Gen. Cruger, of Bath, and still lives in sight of the little ceme- tery where sleep the colonists and many of their children. A visit to his home is a rare treat to the antiquarian, the

house being filled with many mementos of early publie men, as well as of the early settlers of Steuben County.
Dr. Ezekiel Mulford, the physician of the colony, was a direct descendant of John Mulford, of Maidstone, Sussex, England, who was one of the first thirty-five English set- thers in the State of New York, he settling on Long Island in 1639. Dr. Mulford and his wife both died within a few hours of each other during the fever of 1812, leaving a family of fifteen children. Lindsley Mulford, who was the oldest of the family, became known throughout the country as a woodsman and hunter, living a life of adven- ture with a young Indian for some years ; finally settling down as a prosperous farmer, and dying at the age of eighty-seven years.
Jeremiah and Eleazer were intimately connected with the early development of Lindleytown, which was built upon their farms, and were highly respected by the com- innity in which they lived. Eleazer Mulford, the last survivor of the Lindsley colony, who came in 1809, died in 1871, at the age of eighty-four years. In 1811 he was married to Miss Betsey Lillibridge, who had come to the settlement to teach school. John C. and E. P. Mnlford are the leading members of the family in the town, and prominent citizens. Lee and Uri Mulford, well-known journalists and writers in Steuben County, are of this family. Castilla was the father of Gen. John E. Mulford, who acquired a national reputation by his connection with the exchange of prisoners during the late war. Eliza, the first child born in the colony, was the mother of Rodney Bachus, the inventor.
Joseph Miller, the school-teacher of the colony, grand- father of Horace Vastbinder, informs us, in a school com- missioner's report for 1826, that " the school-books used in the four districts of the town are Webster's Spelling-book, Murray's English Reader, Murray's Grammar, Walker's Dietionary, Daboll's Arithmetic, Flint's Surveying, and Moar's Geography."
Charles Seelye, who occupies the old homestead of his grandfather, Capt. John Seelye, near the Lawrenceville depot, is a son of Wm. Seelye, long a leading citizen of Lindley, and the only one left to bear the name.
Col. Gabriel T. Harrower, grandson of Rev David Har- rower, and for many years one of the leading lumbermen of Tioga Valley, served as colonel of the 161st New York Volunteers in the late Rebellion, and represented this dis- triet in the State Senate in 1871.
Of the seven slaves brought by the colony from New Jersey some of their descendants are still living in various parts of the county. "Old Pomp" fell a victim to the epidemie fever after tending the sick during the terrible winter of 1813.
Wm. More, one of the most extensive farmers in the southern part of the county, Col. G. T. Ilarrower, Hiram Middlebrook, S. M. Morgan, and Rev. W. H. Hill have been leading business men of Lindleytown for many years.
T. J. Presho and S. Hammond are leading business men at Erwin Centre.
Joseph Miller, one of the colony, who was in later years for a long time school commissioner, taught the first school, near the Pennsylvania line, in 1793, which shows that the
first settlers of this wilderness did not remain long without the means of education for their children. Dr. Mulford located himself near the State line, and devoted himself to his profession. Col. Lindsley sold to John P. Ryerss a por- tion of the northeast corner of the town, and in 1804, Jas. Ford came from the East as his elerk, bringing a stock of goods and opening the first store in the valley, near the Orr place, below Cook's Creek. Amos Halsey came after the colony, and was accidentally killed in 1802.
The first post-office was at Judge Lindsley's honse, and afterwards, in 1830, at the store of Lyon & Morgan, Albert Morgan being postmaster. Rev. David Harrower, a Scotch Presbyterian preacher, resided in Lindley, and preached in the surrounding country at that date. Joshua Russell came to Lindley in 1823, settling on the Calder farm, at the mouth of Mulford Creek. Lime was burned at this point from marl, in the hills, in 1846. Coal has been found also, on the surface among the hills on this creek, in small quantities. This was one of the heaviest timbered towns in the county, no less than fourteen miles having been located along the river within the present town limits. Robert, a brother of Ben Patterson the scout and hunter, who par- ticipated in the engagement at Freeling's Fort and other seencs of the early Indian wars, was one of the early set- tlers, removing from the old tavern at Knoxville, and locating at the mouth of the creek which bears his name, in 1804. Among the later arrivals previous to 1830 are found the names of E. F. Tremans, A. F. Lyon, A. C. and Julius Morgan, John P. Ryerss, Abner Thurber, Frederick Heckart, and Eber Scofield. Elam Watson has been jus- tice of the peace almost continuously from 1830.
The Lindsley colony brought with them several slaves, who remained with their masters until years after the legis- lation abolishing slavery in New York. Death emancipated them from a not burdensome servitude.
The line of road past the Patterson place was in earlier days a well-known racing-ground, and the scene of many a rural frolic among the hardy pioneers and their children. The river, which is now confined to its narrow bed, covered much of the flat with its shallow waters, and fords were convenient at each settlement. Oak timber in the flats furnished acorns to fatten the half-wild hogs, and butter- nuts covered the ground in their season. Every family had its dug-out, and deer were shot at will in the woods or while feeding on the rich mosses in the dark shadows of the river. Col. Lindsley portioned his lands to his children and fol- lowers in long strips across the town, the old partition sur- veys still annoying their possessors by their inconvenient angles. The now rich river-flats were in many cases aban- doned by their owners for hill farms, which, when devel- oped, were vastly inferior in value to those they left.
From the opening of the railroad with its wooden track and thin strap rails from Corning up the valley to the Blossburg coal-mines in 1840, the real settlement of the town outside of the valley may be said to have begun, and as the timber was taken off men began to realize the possi- bility of clearing away the smaller growth and making themselves homes. Their houses were built with an eye to comfort and hospitality, having large doors, through which, in winter, the heavy logs were drawn by teams

and rolled from the rude sled into the huge open fireplace at one end of the large living-room.
The Lawrenceville, Pa., Station, on the Corning, Cowan- esque and Antrim Railroad, is in Lindley, Lawrenceville being across the Tioga River and just over the State line. There are here, beside the depot and round-house, the junc- tion of the Elmira and State Line, and Cowanesque branch of the Corning, Cowanesque and Antrim Railroads, a large saw-mill, and fifteen dwellings. The Valley Enterprise, of Lawrenceville, was published here at the depot by Henry C. Mills a short time in 1870.
Lindley Station, two miles farther down the valley, con- tains a saw- and planing-mill, two stores, furniture-shop, two blacksmith-shops, a wagon-shop, shoe-shop, hay-press, two school-houses, three churches, and thirty-four dwellings.
Lindley is the first post-office established in the town, A. C. Morgan having been made postmaster in IS29. A snl- phur spring of considerable note exists near the station.
Cook's, a flag station a mile from Lindley, at the mouth of Cook's Creek, consists of the large steam-tannery of Isaac H. Bary, store, and 25 dwellings. Just across the river is the Sandt Mill settlement.
Erwin Centre is six miles from Corning, in the town of Lindley, on both sides of the river, and takes its name from having been the centre of Erwin before Lindley was taken off. There is here a flouring-mill, a store, saw- and stave- mill, two blacksmith-shops, a shoe-, and cooper-shop; post- office, school-house, and Methodist Episcopal church, and about forty dwellings.
Half a mile up the Clendenna Creek is a miil and settle- ment. The hills are thickly covered with farms, and dairy- ing is extensively carried on. The three bridges span the river at Lawrenceville Depot, Lindleytown, and Erwin Centre.

CHURCHES.
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCHI
was organized in Lindleytown, Saturday, June 13, 1841, under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Sheardown, five being baptized the next day, Sunday. Albert C. Morgan was chosen clerk.
July 15 the neighboring organizations met in council, and the church was organized, with Messrs. Walker and Brady, deacons. Preaching was supplied them at the school- honses until a union was effected with Lawrenceville, Pa., in March, 1844, Rev. T. W. Colby, Rev. O. G Stevens, and Rev. Ransom Marine officiating. The organization failed to appear at the annual association after 1846, and ceased to exist as such about 1864.
THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH
was organized under the preaching of Rev. John W. Saw- yer, in 1866, and a church built on the Schofield place, at Lindleytown, in 1866 or 1867.
The first trustees were Eber Scofield, Hiram Middlebrook, and John Sawyer, Class-Leader. Pastors : Revs. Welcome Smith, George Edwards, Wm. Parry, Jolin Stacy, J. W. Sawyer, Levi Kelly, Samuel Perkins, A. W. Paul, Geo. Stoner. Rev. J. D. Osmun, the present Pastor; Present Local Preacher, Elisha Hudson ; Class-Leader, A. H. Knapp ; Recording Steward, E. Hudson ; Stewards, Fran- cis Holbert, Ellen S. Camp. Trustees, E. Hudson, Ed- ward Camp, Lewis Wood, Justin Reed, James Harrower. The church numbers 14 members.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.
This church first organized at Erwin Centre, in 1850, with Rev. Clement Young Pastor and Charles Stokum, Class-Leader,-Rev. Kasimer P. Jarvis, of Painted Post, rendering great assistance by his services. Rev. Amasa English and Rev. Francis M. Smith preached afterwards.
In 1861 the class was changed from the Painted Post to the Tuscorora charge until 1866, when it became a separate charge.
Pastors : 1868, Rev. Peter B. Clark ; 1870, Rev. Stephen M. Dayton; 1874, Rev. George Wilkinson ; 1875, Rev. Geo. Sherer; 1877, Rev. Andrew Purdy; 1878, Rev. Isaac Everett. Their church was built under the present Trus- tees,-Hamilton McHenry, Luke Gibson, George Pepper, Simon Arnold, James Cook, and Nathan Taft,-in 1875, at an expense of $3000, and dedicated Jan. 27, 1876.
James Orr is class-leader. Stewards: George Pepper, Ralph Cook, Hamilton Melfenry. The church consists of 35 members.
Another class was formed at Lindleytown, Dee. 13, 1876, and Daniel F. Merritt, David I. Jones, R. S. Stowell, Wm. More, William Burr, Thomas E. Cary, and Jas. A. Rogers made trustees. Work was immediately commenced on a building, and, Nov. 15, 1877, the "Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church of Lindley" was completed. Besides the trustees, the present officers are Class-Leader, Clerk, and Treasurer, John C. Mulford.
The church has now about 50 members, and is a part of' the same charge with the Erwin Centre Church.
TIIE INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF LINDLEY
was organized, under the preaching of Rev. L. D. Ayers, May 20, 1875,-G. T. Harrower, H. Middlebrook, Lorenzo D. Ayers, Elam Watson, and Isaac Sandt being the com- mittee who drew up the articles of church covenant. Forty-five names were placed upon the roll, and Isaac Sandt, Elam Watson, and Barney Griswold were made deacons.
Trustees .- Robert Higgins, C. Terwillegar, Oliver Camp. Treasurer .- John C. Mulford. Secretary .- S. M. Morgan.
May 22, 1877, the church was changed to The Baptist Church of Lindley, and a delegation appointed to repre- sent the church at the next session of the Baptist Associa- tion ; 51 members were retained, and E. P. Gillett, Oliver Camp, James H. Middlebrook, James Walker, and Mathew Riffle elected trustees; S. M. Morgan, Clerk ; Elam Watson, Il. Middlebrook, and Ann Riffe, Deacons; and Leroy Wat- son, Treasurer and Collector. The pastor, Lorenzo D. Ayers, was then regularly ordained, and a church building com- menced, which is now nearly completed.
