BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
COL. ARTHUR ERWIN.
In this connection it seems proper to record a few of the leading facts in the life of one so prominently identified with the first settlement of this town, and others in the county, as was Col. Arthur Erwin. Ile came from near the city of Antrim, Ireland, before the Revolution, and settled at Erwinna, Bucks Co., Pa , nearly opposite French- town, N. J. He was a gentleman not only of shrewd busi- ness habits and untiring energy, but of culture and affluence. In personal appearance he was dignified, commanding, and affable, and of a kindly and generous disposition. He was the proprietor of a large landed estate, extending some eight or nine miles along the west bank of the Delaware River. During the Revolution he held a commission and served with some distinction in the American army. Soon after the close of the war he made a purchase of nearly five thousand acres of land in the Chemung Valley, near Tioga Point (now Athens), and subsequently, in the years 1789 and 1790 he purchased the town of Erwin and parts of the towns of Canisteo and Hornellsville.
He was twice married, and reared a family of ten chil- dren, among whom his sons, Capt. Samuel, Francis, and Maj. Arthur, bore a conspicuous part in the early settle- ment of this town and county.
In the early summer of 1792 he visited his possessions in this vicinity, accompanied by his two sons, Samuel and Francis, who were to remain and superintend his business here. On his return, while stopping at the house of Dan- iel McDuffe, one of his tenants, near Tioga Point, he was shot, and died within a few hours,-supposed to have been assassinated by an ejected squatter by the name of Thomas.
CAPT. SAMUEL ERWIN.
Capt. Samuel Erwin was born in Erwinna, Bueks Co., Pa., May 4, 1770, where he received the rudiments of an English education at the "select sehools." In 1792 he accompanied his father to Painted Post, and remained in charge of his father's large possessions here till 1795 or 1796. On the 10th of January, 1799, he was commis- sioned by President Adams first lieutenant in the 11th Regiment of United States Infantry, his commission expir- ing with the President's term of office. President Jeffer- son, Feb. 16, 1802, commissioned him first lieutenant of

TOWN OF ERWIN.
the 2d Regiment of United States Infantry, and he was subsequently promoted to the rank of captain.
In 180E he married Miss Rachel Heckman, of Easton, Pa., and removed from thence to Painted Post, in the summer of 1803, where he resided till his death, Nov. 10, 1836. He maintained, throughout his long life, a charac- ter for the highest respectability and integrity.
Physically, Capt. Erwin was the ideal settler and pioneer, his height being nearly six and a half feet, and his frame erect and powerful. It is said that for physical vigor and endurance he had no equal in the county, if in Western New York. In manners he was a graceful gentleman of the old school, courteous, kind, obliging, careful for the wants of the sick or suffering, and a model of probity in all his social and business relations. " His genial and social qualities have left the most grateful recollections among those who knew him in the intimacies of friendship."
