BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

GEORGE W. DRAKE

was born in Milton, Chittenden Co., Vt., Jan. 26, 1820. He was next to the youngest in a family of ten children of Elijah and Polly (Tambling) Drake,-the former a native of New Windsor, Conn., born in 1773; the latter a native of Lee, Mass., born in 1780. His father was one of the vol- unteers in the war of 1812, and was at the battle of Platts- burgh. He lived at New Haven, Conn., for many years, and carried on the tanning and eurrying business. During the latter part of his life he lived in Milton, Vt., and was a farmer by oeeupation. The majority of the children were born while the family resided in New Haven. He died at the age of fifty-six. His wife survived him many years, and died at about the age of eighty-four, in Columbus, Wis., where she was residing with her youngest son, San- ford C. Drake.

George W. was only nine years old when his father died. His mother having married again, he came with the family to Le Roy, Genesee Co., in 1830, where he remained on a farm until 1839, when he with his older brother, Franklin N. Drake, formed a copartnership in the grocery and pro- vision business. This business was carried on successfully until 1842, when he disposed of his interest in the business to his brother, and went to Battle Creek, Mich., and opened

250

HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

a general merchandise store, which he continued, however, only some three years, and returned to New York. While a resident of Michigan, in 1842, he married Sarah, daugh- ter of Adam Willis, of Bethany, Genesce Co., N. Y., and after his return settled in Le Roy, and engaged with his brother in the grocery business. He was successful in Le Roy in this business, in the hardware trade, and as a farmer, until 1861, when he removed to the town of Co- hocton, and in company with Thomas Warner, now a lead- ing and enterprising business man of that place, entered into a partnership with his brother, Franklin N. Drake, in the lumber business and general merchandise. This busi- ness had been established in Cohocton by his brother in 1854.

Prior to settling in Cohocton, in 1847, his wife died, leaving him one son, Davi ! S. Drake, who is now associated with his uncle, Franklin N. Drake, of Corning, in business, and is superintendent of the Blossburg Coal Company ; and one daughter, Mrs. John White, of Volga City, Iowa. For his second wife he married, in 1849, Harriet, daughter of Abial Lewis and Naney P. Roberts, of Le Roy, Genesee Co. Of this union were born Mrs. Myron W. Harris, Louis F., Iferbert W., and Charles P., of Cohocton. Mr. Drake re- mained in business in the town of Cohocton, attending to the mercantile part, until 1866, when he assumed the entire mercantile interest of the firm, and in 1867 he disposed of this to his son-in-law, Mr. Myron W. Harris, who is now a prominent and successful merchant at Liberty, and the same year disposed of his lumber interest to Thomas Warner. As early as 1865 he had taken an interest in the Bloss Coal- Mining and Railroad Company, with his brother, which interest was retained until 1871, one year after his death, which occurred April 27, 1870. His wife died in the fall of 1868. He never took an active interest in political matters, but gave his whole attention to a business life. Mr. Drake was a man of remarkable business capacity, pos- sessed of social and marked characteristics that made him esteemed by all with whom he came in contact. He was known as a man of strict business integrity, and interested in all matters of local improvement, good society, and the education of the young.

THOMAS C. ARMSTRONG

was born in Charleston, Montgomery Co., N. Y., March 22, 1809. His grandfather, Nathan Armstrong, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, was a resident of Mont- gomery County for a few years, removed to Otsego County, town of Cutternuts, where the family lived until the year 1815, and came to Steuben County, town of Cohocton, ac- companied by his sons, Martin and James. The previous year (1814) one son, Jonathan, and two sons-in-law, Flint and Elliott, came here ; the former died the same year, the latter resided in the town until their death.

The grandfather and two sons settled on one hundred aeres of land on the Robert L. Bound's tract. The whole township at that time was almost an unbroken wilderness. The next year (1816) the families of Nathan Armstrong and his son Martin removed to their new home in this county. The grandfather died in 1841, caused by a fracture of his hip, his wife having died several years before.

Martin Armstrong, father of Thomas C., purchased the same year he came here eighty acres of timbered land, where his son and daughter now reside, the land having been the homestead of the family for some sixty-four years.

Most of this land was cleared by Mr. Armstrong, Sr. He took a deep interest in all local improvements in the pioneer days of the town, built the first school-house in his

THOMAS C. ARMSTRONG.

own district, and also the one in the district north of him. He was a Democrat, but took no active part in politics. Ilis wife was Margaretta Onderkirk, to whom he was married Jan. 28, 1798. She died April 17, 1799, leaving one son, Nathan. His second wife was Ruth Sawdy, born Feb. 8, 1783; married March 5, 1805. Their children, born in Montgomery County, are Hiram, Margaretta, Thomas C., James, Lucia ; and in this county, one daughter, Rhoda. Ouly four are living, and of this family of children, only one son, James, ever married.

The father was an active, thorough-going man, a repre- sentative farmer, a man of sterling integrity and large benevolence. He was one of the pioneers of the town, and met the obstacles to settlement, law, and order with manly conrage. He used to market his wheat by taking it in wagons to Albany, and bringing loads back for some mer- chants of Bath,-in striking contrast with the means of conveyance for marketing produce in 1878. He died Sept. 30, 1824; and it is a singular coincidence that two other brothers died on the same day of the month, in different years, and all of typhus fever. His wife died June 15, 1846.

Mr. Thomas C. Armstrong, with his sisters Lucia and Rhoda, still occupy the homestead settled by their father. Mr. Armstrong was one of the first advocates of the free- school system in his town, was a Democrat prior to the formation of the Republican party, and is now an unswerv- ing supporter of Republican principles. He took strong ground against human bondage, and was a supporter of the Union cause during the late Rebellion.

TOWN OF COHOCTON.

DAVID S. WAIT.

DAVID S. WAIT

was born in the town of Cohoeton, on the farm where he now resides, Sept. 15, 1825. His father, Duty Wait, a native of West Greenwich, Kent Co., R. I., was born March 21, 1785, and married Hannah Wells, of Peters- burgh, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., Jan. 29, 1807. She was born June 12, 1790. They resided in the town of Peters- burgh for seven years, and removed to this county, settling in the town of Cohocton, July 4, 1814, on one hundred and four acres of land, to which Mr. David S. Wait has made additions, and now owns some six hundred acres.

Mr. Wait, Sr., was one of the pioneers of the Conhocton Valley, was a farmer during the remainder of his life, and cleared off the greater part of his land. He was a man of strict integrity of character, upright in all his business re- lations, quite active as a member of the Democratic party, for several years was assessor of the town, and was respected by all who knew him. He died Feb. 25, 1855. His wife died April 16, 1858.

Their children were five sons and seven daughters, of whom the subject of this narrative was the third son. Ile received a good education in the common school and Frank- lin Academy, and assisted his father on the farm during his minority. At the age of twenty he became a teacher, and for five terms was a successful instructor.

MRS. DAVID S. WAIT.

He learned surveying in a mathematical school at Bath, taught by a cadet of West Point, and from the age of twenty-three to thirty-three was on the farm with his father, and did considerable surveying, which he continues until the present time. In 1859 he married Mary, daughter of Adin and Nancy (Kenyon) Parmenter, of Wayland. She was born Feb. 17, 1831 ; is a lady of rare intelligence, and was a successful teacher of common and select schools for sixteen terms.

Mr. Wait is known as a thrifty, enterprising agriculturist of the town, and to his farming interest he has added, within the last two years, milling, which he carries on at Blood's Station. He has ever been an unswerving member of the Democratic party, and, although not solicitous of political preferment, has held some positions of trust in the town, preferring the quiet and independence of a business life. He is interested in local matters of improvement, and gives his support for every object tending to educate the rising generation, and for two years officiated as superintend- ent of common schools. His correct habits, integrity in business, conscientious regard for the right, and open, free representation of any matter with which he is connected, are patent to all who know him. Their children are Eva, Guy, Letta, Grant, Seraph, David S., Ammorilla, and Ernest Duty.

CORNING.

GEOGRAPHIICAL SITUATION

THE town of Corning, originally township No. 2 in the first range, is situated on the eastern border of Steuben County, and is the second town north from the Pennsyl- vania line. It is bounded north by Hornby, east by Che- mung County, south by Caton, and west by Erwin.

PHYSICAL FEATURES.

The surface of the town is divided into two nearly equal upland portions by the valley of the Chemung River, which extends northwest and southeast through nearly the centre. This valley and the valleys of the lateral stream divide the uplands into rounded hills and narrow ridges. The principal tributaries entering the Chemung River on the north are Borden, Post, Narrows, Clump Foot, and Win- field Creeks ; and on the south, Monkey Run and Steele's Creek. The soil upon the hills is a heavy slaty loani, and in the valleys a fine quality of sandy and gravelly loam, occasionally intermixed with clay. As an agricultural see- tion the town will compare favorably with any other portion of the county.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The first settlements in this town were made by Fred- erick Calkins, Ephraim Patterson, and his son Ichabod, in the autumn of 1789. Mr. Calkins was a native of Ver- mont. In the summer of 1789 he had located on land in what is now the town of Erwin, near the present Erie Rail- road bridge, across the Conhoeton River, and commenced clearing a farm ; but finding he was on lands which had then been recently purchased by Col. Arthur Erwin, he withdrew, and in the autumn of that year erected his cabiu on the south side of the Chemung River, opposite the Chimney Narrows. The following spring he became one of the original purchasers of the town of Corning. The deed to Mr. Calkins and his associates, Caleb Gardner, Ephraim Patterson, Justus Wolcott, Peleg Gorton, and Silas Wood, from Nathaniel Gorliam and Oliver Phelps, for township No. 2 in the first range, or what is now Corning, was exe- cuted May 10, 1790, and recorded in Book 2 of Deeds, page 151, etc., in 1801. All the proprietors, except Silas Wood, took possession of their lands as early as 1792. Ephraim Patterson, in 1789, settled on the west bank of Post Creek, just above the Chimney Narrows, and his son, Ichabod, upon the old Nehemiah Ilubbell farm.

Frederick Calkins' farm of 140 aeres, upon a portion of which he erected his cabin in 1789, was situated on lot 14, on which a part of the village of Corning now stands. The village was not then thought of, and for more than forty years after its site remained an unbroken wilderness, with the exception of a portion of the farm cleared by Mr.

Calkins and the Bradley farm, which were afterwards in- eluded within its corporate limits.

On the 15th of March, 1792, Caleb Gardner, Ephraim Patterson, Frederick Calkins, George Goodhue, Hezekiah Thurber, and Justus Wolcott reconveyed to Oliver Phelps 10,040 acres of the lands of the town originally purchased of Phelps and Gorham. And April 4, 1792, Peleg Gorton reconveyed 2000 acres to Oliver Phelps, which were not to include any intervale or flat lands.

PARTITION OF THE LANDS.

After the purchase of the tract now forming the town of Corning, the proprietors had it surveyed by John Konkle, and apportioned among them by Brenton Paine and Elijah Buek. The apportionment was made in 1792. In 1801, it not appearing that all parties were satisfied with the division, the questions in dispute were submitted to Wil- liam Jenkins, Eleazer Lindley, and John Hendy, to arbi- trate. Their report or award was soon after submitted. It left the original division undisturbed, but awarded certain sums to be paid some of the proprietors as compensation for difference in the value of the lands. This settled forever the questions of titles as among the first purchasers.

In 1793, a log grist-mill was built on Post Creek, near the house of Ephraim Patterson, by a Mr. Payne and Col. Henderson. The first store was opened by Benjamin Eaton, in 1795. It was situated in what is now the highway at the head of the street leading from Knoxville to the Corning bridge. llis first stock of goods was brought from Wattle's Ferry, now Unadilla, by a man named Comstock and Samuel Cook, a lad then of sixteen, whose father settled at Painted Post in 1792. They drifted down the Chemung in a canoe to Tioga Point, then poled their boat up the Susquehanna, drawing it upon the shore at night and sleeping under the trees. Iu five days they accomplished their journey, and set out upon their laborious return home.

Col. Williamson, in 1796, purchased a tract of land on the north side of the Chemung River, since known as the Jennings farm, and commenced the erection of a large two- story frame building on the high-road for a first-class hotel. It was commodious and well furnished for those times, and was the first two-story frame house built in the town that was clapboarded, and completed in the best style the means at hand would permit. That it was well built, is evident from the fact that for eighty-two years it has withstood the elements. It is true, some years ago Mr. Sly repaired and painted the old building, so that it gives promise of lasting another eighty years. It was long known as the Jennings Tavern, on account of John Jennings having purchased the property in 1813 from the Pulteney estate, and kept a tavern there until his death in 1834. Col. Williamson,

MR. B. F. BALCOM.

MRS. B. F. BALCOM.

REV. BENJAMIN F. BALCOM

was born in Oxford, Chenango Co., N. Y., January 11, 1810. His grandfather, Henry Baleom, was born in Worcester Co., Mass., and married Keziah Stowe. In 1790 they migrated from the State of Vermont to Chenango Co., N. Y. Of this union there were seven children,-Rhoda, Fanny, Franeis, Lefa, Samuel, Olive, and Sally.

Mrs. Baleom was an exemplary Christian, and was one of the founders of the Presbyterian Church in Oxford in 1799.

Of these children, Samuel was father of the subject of this narrative, and married Polly Knapp, in the year 1800, in Oxford; was a farmer and limberman by occupation, and worked some as a millwright, and at one time purchased some five thousand acres of land in Steuben Co., N. Y.

Their children were Judge Lyman Baleom, of Painted Post; Eliza (Widow Pearsall), of Owego, N. Y .; Luke (de- ceased) ; Fayette, of Oxford; Benjamin F. ; Harriet (Mrs. William Rhoads), of Wisconsin ; Uri, of Chicago; Judge Ransom Baleom, of Binghamton ; and George, of Kansas. The father died at the age of seventy-five, in Oxford, in the year 1847. The mother died at the age of seventy-five, in the year 1852.

Benjamin F. Baleom remained at home until he was eighteen, during which time he received only a limited education. In the year 1828 he came to this county, returned in the fall of the same year, and Jan. 8, 1829, married Eliza A., daughter of Russell and Charlotte Root, of Oxford, N. Y. ; she was born Sept. 13, 1810. In July of the same year he moved his goods with an ox-team through the country from Oxford, and settled at Campbell, on the farm now owned by Daniel Curtis.

With his father's assistance he built two saw-mills, house, and barn, and began elearing off the original forest. To give a narrative of faets connected with his history there would be to give a sketch of the early history of the settlement of that part of the county. He remained there some six years, and purchased some twenty-four hundred acres of land in the

town of Addison, retaining the same only about one year, when he sold it, realizing some fifteen thousand dollars. This was a remarkable suecess, considering that he had only his willing hands as capital when the purchase was made. He then removed to Campbell, and remained there as a farmer until 1857, and was known as one of the best agriculturists in Steuben County.

At the age of twenty-five Mr. Baleom united with the Bap- tist Church. He became a elose student of the Bible, and for years made it his study. In the year 1842 he was licensed to preach by the Baptist Church of Campbell and Erwin, and was ordained a minister of the Baptist denomination in March, 1843.

Sinee that time he has been pastor of the ehureh at Corning for four years ; at Bath for one year ; organized a church at Painted Post and remained for four years ; at Hornby for one year ; at Campbell and Erwin for one year ; and as an Evan- gelist in this and surrounding counties for some twenty-five years. He is widely known as a zealous worker in protracted effort in the Baptist denomination, and his work and influence will remain as a monument of one of the pioneer Christian men of Steuben County. In the year 1857 he removed to the place where he now resides in the town of Corning, and pur- chased a farm which he still carries on. During his ministry of thirty-six years Mr. Balcom has never left an appointment unfilled, and he has every year for that period been engaged in a revival of religion.

Their children are Benjamin, Eliza (deceased), John, Caro- line (deceased), James, drowned at Painted Post at the age of twenty-eight; William (deecased), Luke, and Mark.

Elder Baleom and his wife are now in their sixty-eighth year of age, having lived happily together nearly half a century, and at the time of writing this sketch their cards are welcome to friends and relations, children and grandchildren, to cele- brate their fiftieth anniversary by a golden wedding on the 8th of January, 1879.

John Mc Burney

HON. JOHN MCBURNEY, the subject of this sketch, was born in Northampton County, in the State of Pennsylvania, on the 29th day of August, 1796. He was the son of Thomas Mc Burney, who with his mother and her family emigrated from County Antrim, in the north of Ireland, at the close of the Revolu- tionary war, to Northampton County, and was of the famous Scotch-Irish stoek that have won such a reputation for their stalwart, firm, and genuine fighting qualities. Their influence in this country has ever been marked. Thomas MeBurney married the daughter of the late Judge Mulholland, then one of the leading citizens of Northampton County. Thomas McBurney with his family emigrated to Steuben County about 1800, and purchased a farm in the then town of Painted Post, which is now occupied by D. W. Fuller. He at once became a prominent man of the county ; was appointed sheriff in 1812, and after the expiration of his term was appointed first judge of the old Court of Common Pleas in 1816. He became wealthy, and wielded great political influence in the county. He died in 1828 on his homestead at Painted Post.
