The first white chill born in the town was that of Samuel Baker, Jr. ; the first marriage was that of Jonathan Barney and Polly Aulls, in 1794; the first death was that of John Phillips, in September of the same year. Eliphalet Norris taught the first school, at Pleasant Valley, in 1795. Caleb Chapman kept the first tavern at North Urbana, and Henry A. Townsend the first store at Cold Spring in 1815. Capt. John Sheathar built the first saw-mill in the town, in 1797, and Gen. George McClure the first grist-mill, at Cold Spring, in 1802. Elder Ephraim Sanford preached the first sermon, at the house of Judge Baker, in 1795.

Darius Read was one of the first settlers at the head of Pleasant Valley, on the road towards Wheeler. On the 20th of January, 1870, the following facts were elicited before a commission at Hammondsport, appointed by Hon. Guy H. McMaster, to inquire into the lunacy of said Read. A jury of twelve citizens was summoned by the sheriff, and Mr. Read, on examination, said that he was eighty-one years old last August. He moved on the farm where he now resides in 1793; he had not been off the farm during the last fifteen years, nor to the village (three miles distant from his residence) since May, 1851, nearly nineteen years. Mr. Read has enjoyed almost uninterrupted good health, and called his neighbors by name as readily as though he had been meeting then frequently in the daily round of business, and yet many of them he had not seen during the past twenty years. One in particular had gone through all the changes from a school-boy to a silvery-bearded and bald- headed man, and had acquired a corpulency which an alder- man might envy, yet he was as readily recognized as if he had retained the freckled face and flaxen hair of boyhood. Mr. Read's ideas were remarkably clear and his words well chosen ; in early life he had acquired a good common-school education, and had also had some experience in teaching.

The jury refused to apply the word lunatic to his case, but, in accordance with his own wish, recommended the

appointment of a committee to see to his affairs, he having a voice as to who the committee should be. Mr. Read had spent most of his time for the last twenty years reading, and most of his reading had been from the Bible. He had steadily avoided intercourse with his neighbors. His wife died in 1868, old but active to the last for one of her years.

Daniel Bennitt, father of Benjamin and Samuel B. Bennitt, settled in Urbana, three miles north of Ham- mondsport, in 1796. He purchased land in what is known as the Schermerhorn tract. Abram De Puy, David Hutches, Samuel Drew, Derrick Brink, Joseph Rosenkrans, Jonathan Easton, Henry Schoonhoven, John Daniels, and Samuel Townsend were some of the pioneers.

Among the early settlers were John Phillips, Obediah Wheeler, John Walters, Cornelius Younglove, Reuben UIall, Andrew Layton, Henry Griffith, Daniel Kingsley, Caleb Rogers, Noah Griffith, Robert Harrison, Isaac Noble, Isaiah and Erastus Webster. Caleb Chapman settled on the place now occupied by Mr. Gleason, in North Urbana, where he first kept a log hotel. The first log tavern, where the " Urbana House" now stands, was kept by a man by the name of Ilull. John Walters was the first settler on the farm now owned by James Brundage. Obediah Wheeler was several times supervisor of the town, was one of the early justices of the peace, and held the office as late as 1861. Israel R. Wood, father of Jonathau Wood, settled in North Urbana in 1813.

ORGANIZATION.

Urbana was formed from Bath on the 17th of April, 1822; a part of it was re-annexed to Bath, May 3, 1839. At the same time a part of Wheeler was aunexed to Ur- bana, and a part of Pulteney, April 12, 1848.

In pursuance of the organizing act, the first town-meet- ing was held at the school-house in Pleasant Valley on the fourth Tuesday in March, 1823, and Henry A. Townsend was elected Supervisor ; Lazarns Hammond, Town Clerk ; Andrew Layton, H. Griffith, and Abraham Brundage, Assessors ; Obediah Wheeler, Reuben Hall, and Abraham Brundage, Commissioners of Highways; Caleb Rogers, Collector ; Caleb Rogers, Daniel Kingsley, and William H. Ennis, Constables ; Samuel Baker and William Read, Overseers of the Poor ; William Read, Edward Townsend, and Franklin Baker, Commissioners of Schools.

The following, in the order named, were elected Over. seers of the twenty-one road districts into which the town was divided : Abraham Brundage, Samuel Baker, John Walters, Cornelius Younglove, William Read, John Brun- dage, Noah Griffith, Robert Harrison, John Daniels, Ren- ben Hall, Simon I. Jacobus, John Plane, John Richardson, Andrew Layton, Isaac Noble, Stephen Douglas, Isaiah Webster, Erastus Webster, John Loder, Simon Ingersoll, James Harrison.

John Walters, Abraham Brundage, and Reuben Hall were chosen Fence-Viewers, and William Baker, Pound- Master.

At this meeting a tax of $50 was voted for the support of the poor, and also to raise as much money by tax on the town as is received by the town from the State for the sup- port of schools.

At the general election, Nov. 3, 1823, Robert MeCay received 67 votes for Senator; James Norton, 59 votes ; John Bowman, 25 votes; and James McCall, 18 votes. For member of Congress, Daniel Cruger received 69 votes, and William Woods, 25 votes. Grattan H. Wheeler ran against four other candidates for Assembly, the vote being, George McClure, 21; Elisha Hanks, 35; William II. Bull, 30; Ichabod Andrews, 13; Grattan H. Wheeler, 68.

Edward Townsend, Franklin Baker, and William Read, commissioners of schools, laid out seven districts in the town in 1823. The boundaries of District No. 1 were as follows: " Beginning at the southeast corner of Seth Read's lot, and running north to the north line of said town; thence west along the said town-line to the town of Wheeler ; thence south along the line of the said town of Whecler to the bounds of Cornelius Younglove's lot ; thence west along the said town-line to the town of Wheeler; thence south along the said town-line to the corner of the said town of Wheeler on the old Town road ; thence east to the bounds on Richard Daniels' lot ; thence along the north lines of the said Daniels', Younglove's, Eli Read's, and Lazarus Ham- mond's lands to the place of beginning." Those familiar with the "okl landmarks," or who can trace the boundaries of this district on a map, can see what Distriet No. 1 in the town of Urbana was 56 years ago. District No. 4 was called " Mount Washington District," and No. 7, " Pleas- ant Valley District."

On the 25th of May, 1827, the commissioners of schools reported $59.76 received from the State for the support of schools, and the same amount collected by tax from the town. This sum was divided among the districts as fol- lows: District No. 1, $12.08; No. 2, $5; No. 3, 89.61 ; No. 4, $19.21; No. 5, $16.91; No. 6, $14.98; No. 7, $33.05; No. 8, $8.08.

In 1840, the amount received from the State for the support of schools was $229.62, and an equal amount raised by tax upon the town. The sum, being $459.24, was ap- propriated as follows: $367.39 for teachers' wages, and $91.85 for libraries. The number of children over five years of age and under sixteen, in the town, was 590. Three years later the number had diminished by 16, being 574, and in 1848 was reduced to 550. After this there seems to have been a steady inercase of the juvenile popu- lation.

VILLAGE OF HAMMONDSPORT.

This village is situated at the head of Crooked Lake. or, as the Indians called it, Lake Keuka. This lake is a beau- tiful sheet of clear water, fed by springs and the rain which falls upon the surface of the slopes and surrounding hills. It has no streams of any considerable importance entering it, except Cold Spring Brook, at Hammondsport, and La- załier Creek, at Branchport. The valley in which this lake is situated is an excavation of more than three hundred feet in depth, through the shales and grits of the Erie group of rocks. The hills rise on the west shore from three to four hundred feet above the water, and on the east shore from two to three hundred feet ; the surface of the lake itself being two hundred and seventy-one feet above that of Seneca Lake. It is navigable for steamboats and barges from Ham- mondsport to Penn Yan, a distance of twenty miles, and also, on its west branch, to Branchport, in Yates County. One of the most singular features of Lake Keuka is its division into two branches by a bold and beautiful promon- tory, called Bluff Point, which thrusts itself like a blunt wedge between its beautiful, clear waters, and is itself an object of attraction amidst the surrounding scenery. The soil upon this bluff, and upon the highlands on either side, extending far away into the surrounding country, is pro- ductive farm-land, and well cultivated, while along the slopes and abrupt declivities which border the lake are the finest vineyards to be found in the country.

The fruit of this peculiar region, as well as that of Pleas- ant Valley, at the head of the lake, has received appropriate attention in an earlier part of this work.

The importance of Lake Keuka for navigation, and for the transportation of the products of a large extent of country to market, attracted attention to Hammondsport at an early day. Before the construction of the Erie Canal, most of the products of the Genesee country passed south- ward, by the Susquehanna and its tributaries, to markets in Harrisburg, Columbia, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. They were hauled to the nearest places accessible by arks on the Canisteo, Tioga, and Conhocton, loaded aboard of these rude crafts, and when the rivers were at a suitable pitch in the spring, run down to the markets along the Susquehanna and on the sea-board. From the first settlement of the country till 1825, or during the first quarter of a century, these arks were the only means of transportation to market, except by teams, over long and almost impassable roads. Wheat, flour, pork, venison, staves, and lumber of all kinds found their way to market in this manner.

Col. Williamson, during his administration at Bath, was indefatigable in having the streams cleared of their ob- structions and opened to this kind of navigation. Mud Creek was explored and made navigable to its confluence with the Conhoeton, and arks were first run down from Bath and Bartles' Hollow, and then from Arkport on the Upper Canisteo. It was ascertained that, by improving the streams, the produce of the country could be carried to Baltimore, a distance of three hundred miles, in the spring of the year, for a mere trifle. Gen. Geo. MeClure was one of the earliest and most enterprising men in demonstrating the practicability of this kind of transportation for grain and lumber. In the spring of 1795 he ran the first ark

loaded with staves down the Conhocton from Bath; in 1800 he removed to Dansville, opened a store, and during the winter took in 4000 bushels of wheat and 200 barrels of pork, which he shipped in the spring on four arks from Arkport, on the Canisteo, to Baltimore. In 1802 he pur- chased the Cold Spring mill-site, half-way between Bath and the head of Crooked Lake, of one Skinner, a Quaker, with 200 acres of land, and also purchased, from the land- office and others, about 800 aeres to secure the whole priv- ilege. Here he erected a saw-mill, flouring-mill, fulling- mill, and carding-machine. The flouring-mill, with two run of stones, was completed in the best manner in three months. Gen. MeClure's design in building this mill was to convert as much as practicable of the wheat of the farmers into flour, it being safer to ship over so dangerous a navigation than the wheat in bulk, which was sure to be

Crooked Lake, notwithstanding the famous embargo of President Jefferson. This, however, turned ont a fruitless enterprise, as the farmers usually did not thrash their grain and get it ready for market till winter, and then the lake was frozen over and the schooner could not sail.

We have thus given the history of the first commerce on Lake Keuka, and the first commercial enterprise at Hammondsport. From this time forward till 1825, the place exhibited nothing beyond the ordinary routine of farm-life. Capt. John Sheathar, as we have seen, was the first settler, in 1796. The land originally purchased by him became the property of Judge Lazarus Hammond, in 1807. Several years after, Judge Hammond became a resident of the place, and built his house on the site of the present residence of Deloss Rose, Esq., on Sheathar Street. He laid out a portion of his farm into lots and streets,

lost should the ark be wrecked on the passage. He sent hand-bills into all the adjoining country, offering liberal prices for wheat delivered at his mills or at his stores in Penn Yan, Pittstown, or Dansville. He received during the first wiuter 20,000 bushels of wheat, two-thirds of which he floured and packed in barrels at his mills, and in the winter built eight arks at Bath and four on the Canisteo, and in the spring ran the flour to Baltimore and the wheat to Columbia. He eleared enough in that one year's operations to pay all the expenditures and improvements on his Cold Spring property.

While operating at Cold Spring, Gen. McClure ereeted the first store-house at Hammondsport. He also built the first vessel ou the lake, the schooner Sully of about thirty tons burden, for the purpose of carrying wheat from Penn Yan to his store-house at the head of the lake. This was in 1803. He advertised his vessel as a regular trader on

and gave the publie square to the village. William Hast- ings was the first merchant, and built the first store, in 1825. Lemuel D. Hastings eame in that year and entered his brother's store as elerk. He remained in that capacity till 1835, when he embarked in mereantile business for himself, and has continued in it ever since. In the fall of 1825, Ira G. Smith, of Prattsburgh, eame and erected a store ; and about the same time a few others put up build- ings about the publie square.

The construction of the Erie Canal, at this period, changed the entire route of transportation for the pro- duets of the country,-sending them north to that great thoroughfare, and thenee east to the seaboard, instead of southward by the waters of the Susquehanna. Crooked Lake became the most available route to the Erie Canal for the products of all this section of country, and gave to Hammoudsport, at the head of the lake, a new

was born Dec. 29, 1814. Married Arabella Smith, Nov. 16, 1838. Born and lived in Wheeler until Oct. 6, 1857, when he moved to Hammondsport, where he now lives. His children were Arabella, now wife of Dr. C. S. Stoddard, of La Crosse, Wis .; Van Buren, now of Wellsboro', Pa .; and Maggie, wife of O. H. Young- love, of Pleasant Valley. He is one of fifteen children of Philip Myrtle, who was born in Bucks Co., Pa., in 1773. Married Rebecca Walters in 1795. The two years succeeding he lived on a small island in the Susquehanna River, named " Hill Island." In 1797 he moved with his family to Bath, Steuben Co., N. Y.

This proved a tedious and laborious task, and re- quired six weeks to reach Painted Post. He moved up the river in a canoe, and at night hauled the craft and turned it bottom up to shelter the family. At Painted Post he left the family and proceeded to Bath on foot, with his axe aud gun. On his way he had the good fortune to kill a large black bear. A por- tion of the meat he sent back to his family by the mail carrier, and sold the skin for five dollars. This proved a godsend, as his funds were entirely exhausted.

At Bath he engaged with John Wilson, sheriff of this county, to manage a distillery, which he did for three years. After a few days he returned to the Post for his family, and took them to Bath, where he remained until

he purchased forty acres of land in the town of Wheeler, where he built a log house to which he moved his family in 1800, and lived fifty years, until his death.

This forty acres lie purchased at two dollars and fifty cents per acre, and for which he paid with seven years' continuous hard labor. This was the nucleus about which clustered the old Myrtle homestead of six liun- dred acres, mostly cleared, and much of it in a high state of cultivation, and all paid for at the time of his death.

The trials and hardships of the early pioneers seem more like a fable than reality. He found it no fiction. He was obliged to winter his cattle by cutting trees for them to browse. No hay, and grain scarce. The shoes for himself and family were made from deer-skin which he dressed himself. The nearest mill was at Bradford, and required three days with ox-team and sled to make the trip.

He raised a family of twelve children (losing three in infancy), all of whom are now living. All are married, and all raised families except one. It is now seventy- three years since one of these children died ; of the girls five are now widows. There are about sixty grand- children, nearly all of them living. Three sons and nine daughters are now living, and about the same num- ber of great-grandchildren.

importance. The agent of the Pulteney estate, taking wheat and produce in payment for lands, made this the shipping-point by barges on the lake to Penn Yan, whence it was hauled by teams to Dresden. The farmers gener- ally, for several counties around, disposed of their surplus products through the same channel. In this way a large amount of grain and produce was handled for several years, and all that was wanting to make Hammondsport the head of navigation, connected with New York and all interme- diate eities by a continuous line of boats and barges, was a eanal connecting Crooked Lake with the Seneca. The " Albany Regency," seeing the importance of this project, got a bill through the Legislature establishing the Crooked Lake Canal, in 1830. In 1831 the enterprise was com- pleted, and at once Hammondsport became a city of " great expectations." While the eanal was in prospect a new impulse had been given to the place; lots were laid out and sold; new buildings were erected ; the population eon- siderably inereased ; aud the business, by no means small before, was rapidly augmented. Messrs. Oleott and Ger- main, of Albany, Judge Whiting, Charles Butler, and Mr. Dezeng, of Geneva, known as the Hammondsport Com- pany, came and purchased of Judge Hammond and Wil- liam Hastings all their land which remained unsold. The progress of building received a rapid impulse ; all the large warehouses and stores now in the village were erected during this rapid period ; many speculators and capitalists were attracted to the place, and many investments made which subsequently proved profitless.

At this time neither the Chemung nor the Genesee Val- ley Canal had been constructed, and Hammondsport was really the shipping-point for the entire extent of country embraced in Allegany, the southern part of Livingston County, a large part of Chemung, Steuben, and Tioga County, Pa. Situated at the head of navigation for all this extent of rich agricultural and lumbering country, and with direct communication by boats with the city of New York, the expectation was not unnatural that Ham- mondsport was destined to become a large place; and this expectation was in a measure realized till the Genesee Val- ley Canal cut off a large portion of her tributary territory ; and even after that she enjoyed a good degree of prosperity as the exclusive shipping-port of Steuben County till the opening of the great Erie Railway, in 1850, and the Corn- ing aud Rochester branch, in 1852.

Immediately after the opening of the Crooked Lake Canal, a number of new merchants came in from Geneva and Ithaca. The first steamboat, the Keuku, was built and put upon the lake by the company in 1835. A. M. Adsit and John Gregg built another boat to run in eom- petition with the Keuka, and sold it to Capt. Allen Wood, who ran the boat, and also a small " propeller," for some six years. The Yates, now running on the lake, was built by Holmes & Co., of Penn Yan. Capt. Wood sold his boats to Holmes & Co., who own and run the Steuben and the Yates. The Lulu, a small boat recently started, was built by Sanders & Hall, of Hammondsport, in 1878.

A. M. Adsit was one of the leading merchants of the village, with Deloss Rose and William Hastings & Co .; and after the opening of the canal did a large business in

the transportation of grain. Adsit & Co. were proprietors of a line of deck-boats which made regular trips from New York City to Ilammondsport. J. W. Taggart, of Cold Spring, and Dugal Cameron, of Pleasant Valley, were Adsit & Co.'s agents in New York. A. M. Adsit was succeeded by J. W. Davis ; Deloss Rose, William Hastings & Co., by L. D. Hastings and G. W. Nichols. These merchants were also dealers in lumber and wool, which at one time were large interests, and a large amount of money was an- nually paid out by them to the farmers for their produce.

In 1831, Gen. George McClure built a saw- and plaster- mill at Hammondsport. He also built a house, and resided here up to the time of his removal to Illinois. John Ran- del came here from the city of New York, in 1833. He was born in that city, in 1801, and had been a merchant there. On his arrival in Hammondsport he opened a store on the corner where the Steuben House now stands. In 1852, he built the brick store which is now a part of the Railroad Ilonse, on Water Street. Mr. Randel was in business as a merchant in Hammondsport about twenty- three years, and was justiee of the peace in 1838 and 1842.
