EARLY HISTORY OF ARKPORT.

In the spring of 1797, Judge Hurlbut and his eldest son, John, then a boy twelve years of age, came from Wy- oming, Pa., to Arkport, and made a small clearing, planted a piece of corn, and built a small log house where James Hurlbut's saw-mill now stands. Judge Hurlbut had pre- viously purchased over 900 acres of land in the valley of a land speculator, at $4.50 per acre, and afterwards had to pay for the same land the second time at the land-office. After putting up the house they returned to Wyoming Valley, and in the fall of the same year returned to Ark- port, bringing the family,-John Hurlbut, who died in 1831 ; James Hurlbut, of Geneva ; Christopher Hurlbut, of Arkport, then three years old; Abigail and Mrs. Tag- gart, both of whom have since died ; Mrs. Joshua Shepard, of Dansville ; and Mrs. Hoyt, of Kingston, Pa.

Mr. Nathan Cory, father of Jonathan Cory, accompanied the family to assist in the arduous task of moving. They came up the river in flat-boats to the point where the bridge crosses the Canisteo, a mile below Arkport. Here the process of debarkation commenced, and they made their way through the dense forest of weeping elms that thickly covered the beautiful valley to their lonely cabin, surrounded by savage beasts and the scarcely less savage and much more wily red man. But soon a cheerful maple-wood fire was burning on the capacious stone hearth, and the good house- wife had the evening meal prepared from a well-selected stock of comforts and luxuries laid in before leaving the beautiful and far-famed Valley of Wyoming.

Judge Hurlbut was a native of Groton, Conn., and moved to Wyoming Valley the same year the battle was fought, and was within forty miles of Wilkesbarre the day of the horrible massacre. For several years he was employed by the Connecticut Legislature in making surveys of the sev- eral townships in the valley. He was the first surveyor in the town of Hornellsville,-for a long time the only one,- and was employed almost constantly by the land-office in making surveys in Steuben, Livingston, and Allegany Counties. The year after his arrival he built a large two- story double log house, and commenced keeping tavern, and in 1806 (the same year in which Judge Hornell built his red tavern) he built his residence, then, if not now, the largest dwelling in town. In 1800 he built and launched the first ark ever run on the Canisteo, and took it to Balti- more, loaded with wheat, which he purchased of the far- mers in Dansville and Geneseo. He was successful in this, his first experiment, and a market was opened at once for the surplus grain, pork, and beef of the Genesee country.

The same year he built a saw-mill and erected a large storehouse on the east bank of the Canisteo, to which in winter the farmers of the Genesee Valley would bring their wheat and corn, butter and cheese, and other marketable products, and store them, waiting only for the " moving of the waters" to step in and ride to Baltimore and a market. Thousands of bushels of grain were sent annually from this port, and some seasons as many as eleven arks were loaded with wheat, corn, etc., and sent down the Susquehanna.

As early as 1804, Gen. William Wadsworth, of Geneseo, started from Arkport, with two boat-loads of very large stall- fed oxen, and reached Baltimore in safety.

HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

In 1806, Hall & Ellsworth, of Geneseo, sent down an ark, loaded with 300 barrels of mess pork, a large quantity of cheese, and a great number of dried venison hams. Jonathan Cory went down with this load, and he says they lived high.

Thus things went on swimmingly till the Erie Canal was built, and the tide of transportation turned through that channel to the Eastern seaboard.

The year following Judge Hurlbut's settlement in Ark- port, Nathan Cory, from Corytown, in the Wyoming Valley, came in with a large family of boys,-Johnson, Eleazer, Adam, William, and Christopher. Nathan Cory purchased about 100 aeres of choice land at the head of the valley, on which his son Johnson built a large tavern-house, which he kept thirty-eight years. Eleazer Cory taught the first distriet school here in the winter of 1798, and about the same time Miss Abigail Hurlbut, assisted by her sister, Mrs. Taggart, established the first Sunday-school, in a pine grove, using large scoring-blocks for seats, and afterwards holding it in the saw-mill. It is pleasing to be able to say that these schools have been well sustained ever since.

The same year Stephen Webb, father of Stephen and Shepard Webb, settled on the farm now owned by William Harrison. After elearing this farm he went to No. 4, now Almond, and built a grist-mill on the site of the Evan Davis mill. He afterwards exchanged his mill for a farm in Ark- port, where he resided till his death in 1831.

In 1798, Joel Atherton built a house on the west side of Main Street, about forty rods north of the residence of Mr. Potts, and was the first blacksmith in the place. Here he dug a well and "stoned it up with cord-wood."

In 1802 came William Hyde, father of Col. Avery Hyde, Ira Hyde, deceased, Mrs. Christopher Doty, and Mrs. Thomas Major. He moved from Nanticoke, below Wilkes- barre, and settled on the hill just north of the burying- ground. Willis Ilyde was the first justice of the peace ap- pointed, and held the office till his death in 1823.

James Cleveland, in 1802, settled on the farm where Selah Van Scoter resides, then ealled Mill Town, and eleared 20 aeres. The same year, Col. Williamson, of Bath, built a saw-mill on Mill Creek, near Mr. Cleveland's.

At this time John P. Ryerss was living at Arkport, sell- ing goods from the old store-house, and James Taggart, of Northumberland, Pa., was his clerk. They sold salt at $10 a barrel and coarse factory-cotton at 50 cts. a yard. Mr. Ryerss bought at the land-office 1300 acres of choice land, directly south of Judge Hurlbut's residence and in- eluding the farms of Elias Ayres and Selah Van Scoter.

At the death of Mr. Hyde, James Cleveland was ap- pointed justice of the peace, and held the office until the election of John Pitts by the people.

John Pitts came about 1810. Silas Stephens settled on the Ayers farm about the same time. Elias Van Scoter, father of Philip and Selah Van Scoter, came in 1802; Capt. Abbott, in 1804; Willis Hyde, 1812. 1Ie settled north of Arkport, adjoining the marsh, where he built a large frame house and bade fair to enjoy a full share of worldly prosperity; but in twenty years eleven of that once happy family lay side by side in the grave, with both father and mother at the head.

William Sharp, formerly of Staten Island, with a family of twelve children, settled in Arkport, in July, 1812, and soon after purchased the Babeoek farm, on the Dansville Road, and lived there nearly thirty years. His son Wil- liam made the first cabinet-work in the town, in 1814.

As early as 1798, Rev. Andrew Gray preached regularly at Alfred, Almond, Arkport, and Dansville. Mrs. MeCoy -mother of James McCurdy, and living on the place oeeu- pied by him-was Rev. Mr. Gray's nearest neighbor on the north, and Judge Hornell on the south. Mrs. MeCoy, it is said, used to think nothing of walking from Dansville over to Arkport after the breakfast-dishes were washed, making a good visit and returning in time to get supper for the men. She always used to come "light-footed," as she called it, that is, barefooted.

SETTLEMENT OF THE HILLS.

The earliest settlements were chiefly, if not exclusively, in the valleys of the streams, and not till within compara- tively few years-since the pines have become searee and inferior-have the uplands been occupied exclusively, or even generally, for agricultural purposes. But within these few years wonderful improvements have been made. The smoke of the many burning fallows has not been made in vain. All the hills surrounding the village have been thickly settled, and their improvements form a large part of the wealth and prosperity of the town.

The settlement known as Wellever Hill is situated south- east upon the dividing ridge between this town and Harts- ville. The soil on the hill is excellent both for grain and grass, and no better wheat land is to be found in Western New York. The first settler of this neighborhood was Mr. Cahran. He moved here over fifty years ago and cleared a farm, and was followed soon after by David Wellever, the father of four townsmen of that name, who came from Lycoming Co., Pa. After him came Andrew Hendershott, Samuel Hathaway, Peter Best, John Meeks, and James Spencer. Alanson Stephens made a fine clearing on the hill overlooking the village. The settlers have good houses, and the district to which they belong has a good school. The settlement is rapidly increasing in agriculture, and some have devoted considerable attention to wool-growing.

Leaving Wellever Hill we come to Crosby Creek, where we find a snug neighborhood of farmers. Those familiar with this region twenty-five years ago, will be astonished at the change that has taken place. Among the earliest settlers on the ereek were Leonard Drake, Jerry Davis, Wm. D. Burdiek, Richard Peterson, Samuel and Thomas Burnett, Asa Whitford, Isaiah Bartlett, and Elisha Potter ; and in later years, John Stone, John Cleveland, Abraham Whitford, Samuel Olin, Edwin G. Burdick, Samuel and George Cobb, and the Wheelers. There are many fine farms, two saw-mills a short distance up the valley, erected by N. B. Haskell.

Pennsylvania Hill embraces a large traet of country on the table-land northwest of the village, and contains some of the best farms in the town. Among the oldest inhabi- tants were James Dildine, James McMichael, William Emery, A. Sutton, Daniel Sutton, fra Hyde, and Gilbert Wright.

WILLIAM WOOLEVER.

William Woolever was born in Columbia Co., Pa., in the year 1807, Oct. 29. His grandfather was an emigrant from Germany. His father, Samuel Woolever, was born in Columbia County in 1779 ; married Effie Gillespie, a native of the same county. Of this union there were born four sons and three daughters, of whom William was eldest. His father died at the age of forty-five, in the same county where he was born. His mother died at about the age of forty, the next year after her husband, in the year 1825.

Of the children, only a sister, Mrs. Jacob Yager, of Lycom- ing Co., Pa., besides the subject of this narrative, survives.

Mr. Woolever came to Arkport, Steuben Co., first in the year 1823, with his father ; stayed nearly one year, and returned to their home in Pennsylvania. After the death of both his father and mother, in the year 1826, he returned to Arkport and began work by the month for Christopher Cary. His whole capital was twelve shillings in money. In 1827 he mar- ried Mrs. Cary, and began a business life for himself. -

Through the assistance of the late Ira Davenport he rented a farm (Mr. Davenport's), which he carried on for ten years, and was then able of his own means to purchase seventy acres

of land for himself, to which he afterwards made additions, so that he became the possessor of several hundred acres of fine agricultural land about Arkport.

His life has been one of industry, economy, and care, and it is to such men as Mr. Woolever that the rising generation will ever owe a debt of gratitude for their enterprise, privation, and resolution in building schools, churches, clearing off forests, and establishing law and order in society. With that public spirit that shows devotion to country and sympathy for the needy, upon the breaking out of the late Rebellion, Mr. Woolever was the first man to offer his subscription for the care of soldiers' wives and families while they were in battle at the front.

He has been an unswerving member of the Whig and Re- publican parties, and ever exercised the right of suffrage.

His wife died in October, 1869, aged seventy. His children were William (deceased), Mary Ann (deceased), Alexander (de- ceased), Augustus (deceased) ; James and Samuel, of Arkport ; and Mrs. Allington Ward, of Michigan.

For his second wife, in the year 1870, he married Mrs. Mary Aun Cairns, widow of the late Hiram Cairns, of Allegany Co., N. Y., and daughter of Sylvester Prior, of Arkport.

Caroline Mr Davenport Geo

Davenport

GEORGE DAVENPORT

was born In Spencertown, Columbia Co., N. Y., Oet. 15, 1814. The Davenport family was one of the oldest of that county, and became quite numerous. His grand- father, Noah Davenport, settled in Columbia County soon after he was married ; was a farmer by ocenpation. His children were four sons and four daughters, of whom the late Col. Ira Davenport, one of the first settlers of Hornellsville, was one son. William Davenport, father of the subject of this sketel, was the second son ; he remained upon the old homestead in Columbia County ; was mar- ried to Lavinia Davis, and by this union were born two sons and one daughter, viz .: Mrs. John Olmstead (deceased), of Yonkers, N. Y., but formerly of New York City ; George, and Charles (deceased).

His father was a farmer during his life, and died at the age of eiglity-fonr, in the year 1873, on the old homestead where he was born. His mother died at the age of fifty-seven, in the year 1850. Mr. George Davenport, the only surviving member of the family, spent his minority on the farm and attending school.

At the age of twenty-six, in the year 1840, he mar- ried Caroline, oldest daughter of Squire Mead, of Somers, Westchester Co., N. Y. She was born March 3, 1822.

The Mead family were among the first settlers at Somers, and a family of prominence. For eleven years he remained on a part of the old homestead, and in the year 1851 removed to Arkport, and settled on the farm where he now lives; a view of which, with his im- provements, may be seen on another page of this work ; showing a marked contrast with its condition when he first settled on it, and bearing marks of industry, the labor of years, and the result of judicious management.

Mr. Davenport belongs to that class of thrifty, en- terprising agriculturists upon whose shoulders rest the tax of the country, and without whose aid no public improvements would have existence, and the town and county would be without society, law, or order.

He has never taken an active part in politics, but has been identified from his first vote with the Democratie party, casting his first vote for Andrew Jackson.

He was a strong Union man during the late Rebellion, although opposed to the war at its commencement, and was one of the first to contribute for the relief of soldiers' families. His children are Mrs. Charles G. Alley, of Whitehall, Mich .; William; Mrs. J. H. Rider, of Wells- ville, N. Y .; Stephen ; Henry ; Mrs. Daniel Curry.

TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE.

From Pennsylvania Hill we come by a gentle descent to the Webb District, first settled by Col. John R. Stephens, Stephen Webb, Bazey Baker, and others. The Ryerss traet is in this district, and embraces several hundred acres of land, considerable of which is improved. On this tract, deeply imbedded in the primeval forest, is the Ryers' Lake, a favorite resort of pleasure-parties and amateur sportsmen.

In the Winfield Settlement, northeast of the village, the first settlement was made by Matthias Reed, nearly fifty years ago. Since then farms have been cleared and greatly improved by Sylvanus Cleveland, Horace and William Winfield, Orrin Burch, Henry Belts, Henry Keefer, John Newson, and others. The settlement numbers among its members some of the most thorough, prosperous, and influ- ential farmers of the town.

From the Winfield district, by a good and well-traveled road, we reach the old Turnpike Settlement, lying on the main road between this town and Bath. Maj. Bennett cleared a farm on the turnpike in 1808, and was one of the first settlers. After him came John Beattie, Jonathan L. Nicholson, Dudley Robinson, Wm. R. Stephens, Samuel Jones, Henry Chapman, N. Dilanow, and Mr. Boyd, some of whom are in the town of Howard. The late Nathaniel Finch, Esq., of Hornellsville, was among the early settlers on this hill, having settled on the farm formerly owned by Mr. Boyd, and known as the Cross farm. IIe was the second resident surveyor in this town, and a very enterpri- sing and useful citizen. Nathan Osborne was also one of the early surveyors. The turnpike hill is one of the most prosperous settlements in the town. It is familiarly known as " Nicholson Hill" from the numerous families of that name who have settled there, all descendants of the patri- arch Jonathan L. Nicholson. The district has a good school, and regular religious services on the Sabbath.

ORGANIZATION.

The town of Hornellsville was formed from Canisteo, April 1, 1820, and embraced, in addition to the present territory, the town of Hartsville and part of the town of Fremont. Hartsville was taken off in 1844, and part of Fremont in 1854.

The first town-meeting in and for the town of Hornells- ville was held on the first Tuesday in March, 1821, at the house of Martha Hornell, then occupied by Peter Reynolds, when the following town officers were elected : Ira Daven- port, Supervisor ; John R. Stephens, Town Clerk ; John Hurlbut, George Hornell, James Harding, Assessors; Wm. B. Bostwick, Collector ; Elijah Stephens, Stephen Webb, Poormasters ; Stephen Coon, Asa Upson, Samuel Harding, Commissioners of Highways; Christopher Hurlbut, Arvin Kennedy, George Hornell, Inspectors of Schools ; James Taggart, William Stephens, Amos Graves, School Commis- sioners ; Wm. B. Bostwick, David Whitney, Wm. Webb, Constables ; Amasa Thacher, Justus IFarding, William Stephens, Jr., Fence-Viewers.

In April an election was held to elect two members of Congress for the Twentieth Congressional District, result- ing as follows : Wm. B. Rochester, 35 votes ; David Wood- cock, 31 votes ; Sherman Camp, 38 votes ; Jonathan Rich- mond, 34 votes. At the same meeting to elect members

of Assembly for the counties of Steuben and Allegany, the result was as follows : Asa Lee Davidson, 38 votes ; Wm. Woods, 39 votes; Amos Peabody, 25 votes; Grattan H. Wheeler, 25 votes.

VILLAGE OF HORNELLSVILLE.

The village of Hornellsville is situated in the upper Can- isteo Valley, and at the intersection of the Buffalo division with the main line of the Erie Railway. Its railroad facilities and advantages for manufacturing and commercial interests are second to no other place in the county. Hor- nellsville is distant from New York three hundred and thirty-five miles, from Dunkirk one hundred and twenty- eight miles, from Buffalo ninety-one miles, and from Corning forty-one miles. The population of the village has rapidly inereased during the past decade, and is at present estimated at between 7000 and 8000.

The history of the growth of this village from a rural hamlet presents a long period of prosperity and general improvement. But the period of its rapid growth began with the construction of the New York and Erie Railway. In 1832 the Legislature passed an act chartering this com- pany to build a railroad from some point on the Hudson River, through the southern tier of counties by way of Owego, to some point on Lake Erie. The route through this county was left undetermined. There was no clause in the bill compelling the company to construet the road by the way of Hornellsville, and the only sure thing was that it would go through the county somewhere, and perhaps up the valley of the Canisteo. Great anxiety prevailed, and when, at last, through the exertions of influential citizens, prominent among whom may be mentioned Hugh Magee, the late Judge Hawley, James McBurney, Charles N. Hart, Martin Adsit and others, the engineer decided to locate the road through this village, the joy of its citizens was unbounded.

In 1841 the pile-driver, a steam-machine combining pile- driver, locomotive, and saw-mill, made its appearance upon the route. It moved upon wheels, driving two piles at a time, and sawing them off at a level as it passed along. In this scetion it commenced operations at the lower edge of a pine woods, which stood baek of the present depot, and

moved castward, constructing the original but long since obsolete road-bed of the great Erie Railway. The traveler through the valley sees at this day the relics of this early work, and perhaps wonders for what purpose and at what period so many piles were driven into the ground.

The company running out of funds, the construction of the road was for some time suspended, which was not only a serious blow to the hopes of Hornellsville, but for some time a great detriment to her business interests. The pros- pect of the road being speedily finished had stimulated un- wonted activity ; speculation had run high ; real estate had risen rapidly ; people had begun to look for " good loea- tions" and " corner lots ;" and land which had remained in one ownership since the early settlement had suddenly begun to change hands, and to be " staked out" or fenced into lots. All this was brought to a sudden stand, and, it was feared by many, to a hopeless reversion, by the suspen- sion of the building of the road. The work, however, was again resumed, and the road built through from Piermont, on the Hudson, to Dunkirk, N. Y. On Sunday, the first day of September, 1850, the first locomotive came up the valley, and stopped at this village. We need not speak of the rejoicing of the citizens, nor of their gratitude to the railway company, to whom more than to all other advan- tages the village owes its rapid growth and its present and prospective prosperity. The entrance of the road gave the place that impulse which it has ever sinee held, changing it from a small inland village to a prominent position among the thriving and posperous business centres of the State.
