Martin Young, one of the earliest settlers, came into the county with Col. Arthur Erwin, and settled at the junction of the Tioga and Canisteo Rivers. In 1793 he cut a pine- tree on the bank of the Canisteo, near its mouth, and from the stump there sprouted up three other trees, which are now standing. They measure about twenty-two inches in diameter. The old stump from which the tree was ent eighty- five years ago is still plainly to be seen, although a portion of the top of it is somewhat decayed. Mr. Young moved to Minnesota about 1850, and hearing of the singular circum- stance of the growth of these trees requested his son, Fran- cis E. Young, to investigate the matter and inform him of the facts in the case. Mr. Francis E. Young proceeded to examine and measure the trees, and in the winter of 1875 had a sign put upon them setting forth the fact of the entting of the tree by his father in 1793, and of the sprouting and growth of the three trees from the stump. That sign is still remaining there, and has been read by hundreds of curious visitors.

Martin Young drove the first wheeled vehicle into Ad- dision,-a cart drawn by a yoke of oxen. Francis E. Young, a son of Martin Young, was born in Addison in 1812, and was one of a family of sixteen children. Al- though sixty-six years of age he is still hale and vigorous.

ORGANIZATION.

This town was one of the original towns of the county, and was known as Middletown till April 6, 1808. At this date it was changed to Addison, in honor of Joseph Addi-

TOWN OF ADDISON.

son, the English author. The early settlers called it also " Tuscarora." A part of Troupsburgh was taken from it in 1808, Cameron in 1822, part of Woodhull in 1828, part of Rathbone in 1856, and Tuscarora in 1859.

In the carliest record, entitled " Votes and Proceedings of a Town-Meeting held in and for the Town of Middle- town the first Tuesday in April, 1797," we find that Reubeu Searles was elected Supervisor ; Oliver Miller, Town Clerk ; George Goodhue, John Wyman, and John Martin, Asses- sors; Lemuel Searles, Constable; Jonathan Tracy and Asahel Stiles, Poormasters; John Martin, George Good- hue, and Stephen Dolson, Commissioners of Ilighways; Lemuel Searles, Collector ; Abel White, Jonathan Tracy, and Oliver Miller, Commissioners of Schools; Reuben Searles, Jr., and James Benham, Pathmasters; Elisha Gilbert and Silas Morey, Fence-viewers ; Reuben Searles, Poundkeeper.

" Toted, That Reuben Searles' barn-yard be a town pound.

" Voted, That a lawful fence be four feet and a half bigh and but five inches between rails.

" Voted, That a ferry he kept near where the road crosses the river, and that threepence be charged for a man to cross.

" Toted, That the next town-meeting be held at the school-house in said town for the year ensuing."

It is not stated at what house this town-meeting was held, but it was probably at the school-house, as Timothy Searles was appointed to take care of that building, and Reuben Searles to be fireman. This speaks well for the civilization of the pioneers of Addison. They probably built the first school-house in the county of Steuben ; if not, it was certainly one of the first, for it must have been erected as early as 1796, and at that period there were few if any school-houses in the county.

At this meeting Reuben Searles, George Goodhue, John Wyman, and John Martin were appointed a "committee for settling with the town of Painted Post."*

The second town-meeting was held at the school-house, as above appointed, on the first Tuesday in April, 1798. Reuben Searles was re-elected supervisor, and by successive elections continued to hold that office till 1804. In the latter year George Martin was elected supervisor. Mr. Searles was again elected to the office in 1805. In 1806, George Martin was elected again, and held the office each succeeding year till 1810, when David Dickinson was chosen supervisor for one year, and was succeeded in 1811 by Timothy Searles, who held the office continuously till 1814. In this year William B. Jones was elected super- visor, and continued to be elected each year till 1817, when he was superseded by Samuel Colgrove, who was supervisor till 1821, and was succeeded by William B. Jones, who served till 1823, when Samuel Colgrove was again elected, and continuously thereafter till 1827.

The town clerks during this period were-

1797-1800. Oliver Miller. 1800. Brown Gillespie. 1801. Abel White.

1802. llarvey Rice. 1803-5. Jonathan Tracy. 1805. Alpheus Cheney.

* This town was included in Painted Post before the organization of Steuben County; hence when the county was organized and the new town of Middletown formed, there were accounts or other mat- ters to be settled with the old town of Painted Post, from which Middletown was set off.

In 1798 a bridge across the Canisteo was in construction, and it was " voted that a sign-post be erected on the north side of the river, near where the bridge is to cross the river." In 1799 "a tax of $20 for the support of the poor" was voted " to be paid in produce."

" Middletown, the 9th day of April, 1801. Recorded two slaves for Thomas Thissle; the age of Luce fifteen years old, the age of Will eleven years old."

The bridge referred to above was in progress in 1803, as we learn from the following :

" March, the 15th day, 1803. Jonathan Tracy, Town Clerk, re- ceived one hundred and fifty dollars for the use of building a bridge in Middletown."

"February, the 22d day, 1804. Jonathan Tracy, Town Clerk, re- ecived one hundred aud fifty dollars for the use of building a bridge in Middletown."

Payments were made on the work as follows :

" April 4, 1803. Paid four dollars by order of the Commissioners."

" April 27, 1803. Paid fifty dollars by order of the Commis- sioners."

The following, with reference to the first hotels, will be of interest :

" Be it remembered, that we, the Commissioners of Exeise for Mid- dletown, in the county of Steuben, have resolved and licensed the following persons to keep publie inns or taverns in said Middletown for the year one thousand eight hundred and three, namely : Elisha Searles, Elisha Gilbert, Robert Martin, Lemuel Benham : and have taken as a duty of excise, for the use of said Middletown, five dollars from each and every person so licensed, as witness our hands this 4th day of May, 1803.

"JOUN KNOX, " REUBEN SEARLES, "ABEL WHITE."

In 1808 the name of the town was changed to Addison. This year a committee was appointed to select a convenient spot for a burying-ground, and it was " voted, that the com- mittee is to get the burying-ground cleared and fenced, and all the expense is to be paid out of the money in the poor- office." It is to be presumed that there were no poor at that time to need the fund that had accumulated, and there- fore it was devoted to another purpose.

In 1814 the school commissioners laid out four school districts, as follows :

" The Commissioners of Schools for the towu of Addison have filed in a report at the Town Clerk's office for the division of the town into school districts, dated the 4th of February, 1814. Division as follows, to wit : First distriet to be composeil of all that part of the town lying between the town of Painted Post and the new dwelling-house of John Martin, and from the Canisteo bridge, so as to include the dwelling- house of lienry Tracy ; the second district, from the dwelling-house of Henry Tracy to the dwelling-house of Jesse Rowley : the third district, including the dwelling-house of John Martin, to continue up the river so as to mnelude the dwelling-house of Simeon Baker; the fourth district to continue from thence up the river to the western houudary of the town.

" SAMUEL COLGROVE,

" DAVID DICKINSON,

" TIMOTHY SEARLES,

"Commissioners."

" Vutet, That the school money be divided and paid over to the dif- ferent school districts, according to the number of scholars in each district, when proper trustees are chosen to receive it."

"Voted, That fifty dollars be raised the ensuing year for the use of schools."

" Voted, That the bounty on wolf's sealps be the same as last year."

The first return of a general election for members of Assembly, State Senator, and member of Congress is dated April 28, 1814, and signed by William B. Jones, Martin Young, John Towsley, and David Dickinson, inspectors of election. For Assembly, Daniel Cruger, 38 votes; Moses Van Campen, 13 votes. For Senator, Philetus Swift re- eeived 14 votes; Bennett Bucknell, 14 votes; Chauncey Loomis, 14 votes ; John J. Pendergrast, 14 votes. For member of Congress, Oliver C. Comstock received 36 votes and Evens T. Throop 36 votes.

June 26, 1818, the fifth school district, extending on both sides of the river, " from a small run of water called Stephen Hadley's Creek to the west line of the town," was laid out by the school commissioners.

" March 3, 1819. Voted, wolves no bounty, panthers ditto."

In November, 1819, Vincent Matthews and John D. Higgins, of Bath, and Samuel Colgrove and Isaac Santee, of Addison, school commissioners for their respective towns, laid out school district No. 19, in Bonney's Settlement, lying partly in the town of Addison and partly in Bath. In 1822 another bridge was built across the Canisteo at Addi- son village. At the town-meeting in 1821 it was " voted to take one hundred dollars of the poor money, to be put ' with other money, for the purpose of building a bridge over the Canisteo at this place."

This year " voted, that the bounty on wolves' scalps be ten dollars, and no person to be entitled to the bounty ex- cept residents of the town." "Voted, that one hundred dollars be raised for the support of schools."

WILLIAM WOMBOUGH.

The personal history of William Wombough is so intimately connected with the settlement and growth of the Tuscarora Valley, where now is located the thrifty village of Addison, that it forms no unimportant part of the general history of this part of the county of Steuhen.

He was born in Monmouth Co., N. J., in the year 1769. His parents were of German birth, and his father came to America about the year 1765, settling in New Jersey. He had ne opportunities for any education from books, and could neither read nor write, but his very eventful and successful business career demonstrated that a practical education as often secures financial success.

While a young man he settled in Delaware Co., N. Y., and engaged in lumbering, rafting his lumber to Philadelphia. There he remained eleven years, and in the year 1804 removed to the Tuscarora Valley, and settled in the almost wilderness and Indian country, where the now beautiful and cultivated fields vie with the best in the State in point of agriculture. He at once purchased one hundred and eighty acres of land, where now his sou William resides, built a saw-mill, and in 1806 erected a grist-mill on the Tuscarora Creek ; where in 1830 he erected a second one, which is still standing. By this time he had added to his original purchase, so that he owned some two thousand acres of land. In 1833 he removed to Woodhull, and purchased some five hundred acres of land where the village of Newville now is, and there erected a grist-mill. In the year 1835 he re- moved to Troupsburgh, purchased some five hundred acres of land, and erected a saw-mill and grist-mill. There he remained until 1842, when he returned to Addison, and a few years after- wards erected a grist-mill (it being the fifth) on the present site of the sash-factory now owned by Messrs. Mackay & Hill.

In order to furnish his first grist-mill with the proper ma- chinery he was obliged to go to Philadelphia, which he did io a lumber wagon, and returned with wagon loaded with weighty machinery. The incidents connected with such a trip through forests, rough roads, its privations, and necessary economy and

hardships, are in striking contrast with the rapid transit of the railroad car of the present day. Being now at the advanced age of eighty, he never after engaged in any new enterprises. After a brief illness of only four days he died from the effects of a paralytic stroke, at the ripe age of eighty four, in the year 1853.

It is impossible in a short space to do any more than give an outline of his history. He came into this valley, moving his goods in boats up the Susquehanna, Chemung, and Canisteo Rivers, and lived during that period of the settlement of the country when there was little or no machinery to lessen manual labor ; and about the time of his death the completion of the Erie Railway, and the introduction of mowing and other ma- chinery, made a radical change in the mode of rapid transit of persons and goods, and in the time to accomplish a given amount of work. It is worthy of note here that the Indians were in the neighborhood, and that they were known to come to the settlement and purchase powder, but never to make purchase of any lead; hence, it was always supposed by the settlers that there was a lead mine near by; but the secret, if there was one, was never disclosed by the natives, and no information of its location discovered.

Mr. Wombough was strong in his political inclinations, and a staunch member of the Whig party. In the war of 1812 he was drafted, but hired a substitute, paying therefor sixty dollars. The progeny of this most remarkable business man is quite numerous in and about Addison, and makes up many of the representative families of the village.

His wife was Elizabeth Towsley, who did her part well, and trained her children in all that makes true manhood and woman- hoed. She died at the age of seventy-nine.

His children were Henry, born 1800 (deceased); Mrs. Rufus Baldwin, 1802 (deceased) ; William, 1811 ; Mrs. Ira P. Ben- nett, 1813; Mrs. Peter Striker, 1815; Mrs. James B. Mur- dock, 1818 (deceased); Mrs. Col. George Farnham, 1823 (deceased) ; Mrs. Gilbert B. Brewster, 1828; and Addison Wombough, 1831.

LANDS ABOUT THE VILLAGE.

William B. Jones kept one of the first hotels on the north side of the river. He purchased lot No. 3, known as the " Pompelly Lot," it having been bought of Harman Pompelly, of Owego, who bought it of Charles Wilkes. It was part of the Wilkes Tract, which was quite an ex- tensive tract, lying on the north side of the river. Lot No. 3 was purchased from Harmon Pompelly by Solomon Cur- tis, who laid out a portion of the village on that side. William Wombough owned lots Nos. 3 and 4 on the south side, extending back to the town-line. He purchased his land at an early time, mostly of contractors with the Pulte- ney estate, who were not able to complete their title. He laid out part of the village on the south side of the river, on lot No. 3, about 1832, and it was surveyed by John E. Evans, of Painted Post. Samuel Colgrove laid out the north side for Solomon Curtis the same year.

In 1830 the price of wikl land in this section was $1.50 per aere. In 1831 it had risen to $2 an acre. In this latter year most of the timbered lands in this section were purchased. David Ross and his son, Stephen Ross, of Troy, purchased several thousand acres, which were sur- veyed by Col. Wm. H. Bull, of Bath.

MERCANTILE AND LUMBERING.

About this period the valley of the Canisteo became the scene of active mercantile and lumbering operations. In 1830, John Loop, Shumway & Glover, Wilcox, Birdsall & Weatherby began at Addison as lumbermen and merchants, and continued till some time in 1832, when John and Peter P. Loop, Caleb Weatherby, and Read A. Williams formed a copartnership, and built a store in the lower part of the village on the north side. They operated largely in both mercantile and lumbering business for about a year, when they made an assignment, and soon after removed from the county.

Mr. Williams became a lumber merchant in Chicago. Mr. Weatherby removed to Warren, Pa., where he died some years since.

In the spring of 1833 John Loop went down the river with lumber, and left his brother, Peter P. Loop, who was a man of dissipated habits, in charge of his interests at Addison. On his return he found matters in a very un- satisfactory state, which troubled him exceedingly. He went to what is now Erwin Centre, to see to some lumber- ing interests there, and from there went up the Clendenny Creek some three miles to a saw-mill. This was about five o'clock P.M, and it was the last that was ever seen of him in this part of the country. A crowd of men turned out and made diligent search for him so long as there was any hope of his discovery ; but at last it was given up as fruit- less, and the supposition became current that some ruffian had murdered him to obtain possession of the money he had upon his person.

A story was told several years after that some one from this section, who had previously known Loop, saw him ou the Mississippi River somewhere above New Orleans, and that, in an interview, he explained to the narrator the cause of his sudden disappearance, saying he found him- self in Pittsburgh, destitute and almost naked, and being ashamed to meet his old friends, had resolved never to return to Addison.

Whether there is any truth in this story or not, it is certain that Loop was very sensitive as to his honor, and possessed in a very high degree the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. He was supervisor of the town, and the records made by him while town clerk show a very careful and elegant handwriting.

The next firm established here was Thompson & French, about 1834. They built their store on the site now occu- pied by Smith's Block, corner of Wall and Railroad Streets. John Thompson, the head of the firm, resided in Addison ; John M. French, the other partner, lived at Big Flats. They did a prosperous business for a few years, and in 1838 sold out to William R. Smith and Ai Fitch. The latter was a resident of New Brunswick, N. J. Mr. Smith became a permanent fixture in the life and business of

HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

Addison, being one of its most enterprising and useful citizens till the time of his death. He was the father of William A. Smith, the present successful merchant of Addison. He came to Addison in 1836, and started in a store which had been built by Ransom Rathbone, in 1833. The store is still standing, on the east side of F. W. Latti- mer's grocery-store.

Mr. Rathbone did a dry-goods and grocery business from 1833 to 1836, when he removed to Rathboneville, where he died many years ago.

S. L. Gillet, A. Cone, and Joel D. Gillet began mercan- tile business in Addison in the fall of 1835. They oceu- pied the Wombough store on Water Street, and did a prosperous business for three years. In the fall of 1838, Joel D. Gillet bought the interest of his partners, and re- moved his goods to a store which he purchased on Water Street at the east end of the bridge, where he did a large business till, on account of failing health, he sold to his brother, C. E. Gillet, in 1847, who continued the business till 1850, when he sold to Joel D. Gillet. The latter con- tinued the store till 1852, and sold to George Wells, who in a few months sold to E. L. & E. R. Paine. This firm had a successful career for two or three years, and sold to George Graham and N. W. Mallory, who continued busi- ness till burned ont in 1857.
