Sahuon Brownson, the first settler at Loon Lake, pur- chased in that vicinity 400 acres of land. He was the
father of Rev. Elisha Brownson, and of Rev. James Brown- son, sons by his first marriage. He married his second wife, Polly Howard, a sister of Nathaniel Howard, and had several children, among whom were Ira Brownson, after- wards a elergyman in Pennsylvania ; Charles Brownsou, now living in Lima, Livingston Co .; and David Brownson. Of the two daughters belonging to this family, one married the late Gardner Pierce, Esq., of Wayland, the other mar- ried Edward Wentworth, who, after her death, removed to Michigan.
Perkinsville was named after Benjamin Perkins, who was a prominent man in that part of the town. Mr. Me- Millen also came to that part of the town as early as 1812.,
John Hess, now residing in Dansville, Livingston Co., is a son of Demas Hess, and for many years before his re- moval was prominently identified with the town and village of Wayland. He was elected the first supervisor of the town, and held the office by successive re-elections till 1853. Mr. Hess owned property where the village of Wayland stands, and erected some of the principal build- ings, stores, hotels, etc. Demas IIess had a brother, John Hess, who was also an early settler of the town.
Peter Shafer lived for many years on the road to Dans- ville, and kept a noted tavern and blacksmith-shop. This tavern was, in the early times, the resort of many persons of rather unenviable notoriety, and stories are told of things being done there which would not bear being brought to the light.
The early settlers of this town endured many privations. " It was a hard town to settle," said Rev. Elisha Brownson, " and the people were generally poor. No road passed through the town except the ancient one from Bath to Dansville. One circumstance connected with the early settlement of this town may be somewhat interesting. In 1815 there being a scarcity of bread, I went through the towns of Springwater, Livonia, and Sparta, aud thence to Dansville, in search of grain for sale, and none was to be had in those towns, nor in Western New York. People had to hull green wheat and rye for food. I found a field of rye on William Perine's farm, which was thought nearly fit to eut. I went home and got some neighbors, and with oxen and eart we went and eut some of it, thrashed it, and took it to the mill and had it mashed, for it was too damp to grind, and we thought ourselves the happiest people in the world because we had bread."
The contrast to such extreme want is seen in the abund- ance and the prosperity of the present town ; and the labor, energy, and enterprise of the old pioneers and their de- scendants have created this difference. Few, especially of the present generation, appreciate the toil, privation, and perseverance involved in the hereulean undertaking of clear-

ing up a heavy timbered township, and converting a wilder- ness into a fruitful field.
Erastus Ames, a noted hunter, settled at an early time in the Loon Lake neighborhood. He was a large and pow- erful man, and had a reputation for hunting exploits second only to that of " Ben Patterson" himself.
- Dr. Warren Patchin built the old hotel near Patchin's Mills in 1824. He intended to have built of brick ; the brick were made a few rods from the house by Seth Cady, but the clay not being free from limestone, the brick cracked on exposure to moisture, and were found to be worthless. A frame house was erected instead. It is still standing, and occupied as a residence by the miller.
The first grist- and saw-mill on the site of the present flouring- and grist-mill was built by Dr. Warren Patchin, the father of Warren Patchin, the present proprietor. Dr. Patchin came from Ballston, Saratoga Co., with his family in February, 1817, and settled a mile east of Patchinville.
He was a physician, farmer, and enterprising business man. Ile built the saw-mill in 1820, and the grist-mill in 1822. The saw-mill was burned in the latter year, while the frame of the grist-mill was standing near it. Dr. Patchin died Feb. 13, 1872.
Warren and Cameron Patchin, sons of Dr. Patchin, bought the interest of the other heirs in 1873, and have since owned the mill property. Warren Patchin, in 1838, bought the fine place, where he now resides, at Loon Lake, and took possession of it in 1840.
Robert S. Miner settled about a mile south of this place, in 1824, at the head of Neill's Creek. He cleared and owned the farm now owned by Lewis and George Tichnor.
A plank-road was built from Patchinville to Dansville about 1842 ; gates were erected, and tolls collected over the entire route till quite recently, when this end of the route was abandoned as a toll-road.
Loon Lake is becoming quite a place of resort for tourists and pleasure-seekers. It is the highest lake in the State except Chautauqua. The premises are owned by Thomas Warner, Esq., of Cohocton, who, in 1870, made the elegant improve- ment known as the Lindenwood Park and Hotel. In ad- dition to this it is proposed next year to put a small pleasure steamer on the lake. The place will then be one of the most desirable and healthful resorts to be found in the country.
Among the influential citizens of the town are the Ben- netts, the Zimmermans, Babcocks, and others, whose names appear in the official list. The following were among the land-owners and tax-payers of the town at the time of its organization, in 1848: Chauncey Avery, Rhoda Arm- strong, Thomas Abrams, Jacob Ames, John Alexander, Moses Brownson, William Babcock, James Brownson, David Brownson, James S. Brownson, Francis Badgerreau, James R. Babcock, John N. Bower, George Bill, Valentine Bower, C. W. Brownson, Chauncey Bennett, James II. Begole, Anthony Brooks, David Bowen, William Beach, Philip Bortes, Christian Bill, John Bill.
ORGANIZATION.
The act to erect the town of Wayland was passed April 12, 1848. Section second of the act provided that "all
the justices of the peace and other town officers elected or appointed in either the towns of Cohocton or Dansville, and who shall reside upon the territory hereby erected into the town of Wayland, shall hold their offices respectively until the expiration of the terms for which they were respectively elected or appointed, and the residue of the town officers shall be elected in the same manner as in other towns."
The third section provided as follows for the first town- meeting : " The first town-meeting in the town of Wayland shall be held on the first Tuesday of May next at the pub- Fic-house kept at Patchin's Mills, and Warren Patchin, Jr., John Hess, and Myron M. Patchin, or any two of them, shall preside and shall appoint a clerk for that meeting. All subsequent town-meetings in said town shall be held on the same day upon which other town-meetings are held.
"Section f. This act shall take effect immediately."
At the above-mentioned special town-meeting, held at the house of C. Patchin, on the 2d day of May, 1848, according to the provisions of the preceding act, there were present W.

ACTION OF THE TOWN IN RAISING BOUNTIES.
At a special town-meeting held in the house of the late Jacob Kirch, at Perkinsville, in the town of Wayland, ou the 29th of December, 1863, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of raising bounties for volun- teers, pursuant to the resolutions passed by the Board of Supervisors, it was voted whether or not the town would raise and pay a bounty of $300 to each volunteer who should enlist under the call of the President for 300,000 men. The vote stood as follows: whole number of votes east, 225 ; for the bounty, 208; against it, 17.
A special town-meeting was convened at the same house as the above, on the 5th day of March, 1864, to consider and vote upon the question of raising a bounty of $300 for each volunteer who should enlist in the service and be accredited to the town under the call of the President for 500,000 men. At this meeting the vote was unanimous for the bounty, 101 votes being cast, and not a dissenting vote.
A similar unanimous vote was also taken on the same question at a special meeting held at the same house, ou the 2d of April, 1864 :
" At a special town-meeting held in the Town Clerk's office, on the 31st of April, 1864, it was unanituonsly agreed that the Supervisor of this town should see that the family of every volunteer soldier ac- credited to the town, and in the service of the United States, which should be proven to be in indigent circumstances, should be relieved to the amount of $15 at a time, by virtue of Chapter 8 of the Laws of New York, entitled, ' An Act to authorize the levying of a tax upon the taxable property of the different counties and towns in this State,' etc., passed February 9, 1864.

" September 20, 1864, at a meeting of the Town Board at the office of the Town Clerk, 'on motion, it was resolved unanimously to pay to all volunteers accredited to this town, either personally or as sub- stitutes, previous to the draft, the sum of $600.
" Resolved, That the Supervisor is empowered to raise the bounty to any amount less than $1000, as in his best judgment he shall see fit, to save the town from a draft, provided he can legally obtain the bonds upon longer time than those now issued.
" Resolred, That the Supervisor be empowered to draw bonds over
and above the $600 to the amount of $25 to cover costs and expenses to each volunteer accredited to this town.

The village of Wayland is a thriving business centre for a considerable portion of the surrounding country.
CHURCHES.
There are seven churches in the town of Wayland, situ- ated and named as follows: 1, Lutheran Church, Perkins- ville; 2, Catholic Church, Perkinsville; 3, Methodist Epis- copal Church, Loon Lake; 4, Union Church, School Dis- triet No. 11; 5, Evangelical, School District No. 8; G, Methodist Episcopal, Wayland village; 7, Christian Church, Wayland village.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AT PERKINSVILLE
was built by Nicholas Moreh and Jacob Smith, in 1850. The wife of Jacob Smith, who died in January, 1850, was the first person buried in the Catholic cemetery at this place. The school was first taught in the church by Nicholas Zimuerman, in 1851, and in 1853 the school- house was built by Rev. J. M. Steger. The church was first organized with 15 or 20 members; it is now sup- ported by about 200. It is incorporated under the gen- eral law of the State, Peter Engel and Joseph Keltgen, Trustees.
The Union Church building (School District No. 11) was erected by contributions of different denominations.
The Christian minister preaches here occasionally. During the past three years the ministers of the Evangelical Asso- ciation have held regular services once in two weeks. It is at present under the charge of Rev. J. H. Peters, who holds services also at East Wayland, in the school-house of District No. 6. The church is a frame building, 30 by 40, and the congregation averages about 150 persons.
THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH (GERMAN),
in District No. 8, was built about 1868. The present pastor, Rev. Mr. Damm, resides at Groveland, Allegany Co., and holds services in this church onee in two weeks.
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF WAYLAND.
The Christian Church of Wayland was organized in the year 1864. Ministers at present, Rev. G. H. Hibbard and A. J. Welton.
The principles of organization were no creed but the Bible, no name but Christian, and no test of fellowship but Christian character.
Believing the Bible to be divinely inspired, it became- and is still-a perfect rule of faith and practice, which all men have an equal right to read, understand, and practice for themselves.
Among the charter members may be found the names of Simon Ilarris, Oliver A. Harris, Calvin Green, Lovina Magee, A. J. Welton, Lucy Welton, and Ida L. Welton. Rev. A. J. Welton became their first pastor and Simon Harris deacon and clerk.
The Christian chapel was built the same year, before the organization of the church, by the untiring efforts of A. J. Welton, who solicited all of the funds and took charge of the whole matter until it was dedicated and deeded to the society organized to receive the same.
Rev. J. D. Childs preached the dedicatory sermon, after which the house was dedicated to the worship of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.
NOTE .- Of the Methodist Churches at Wayland and Loon Lake we have been unable to obtain any history.
