TRUMAN SPALDING.

Elder Phincas Spalding, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was one of the pioneers of this section of coun- try. He was born in Woodstock, Vt., in 1759; was a soldier of the Revolution, present at the surrender of Bur- goyne, and spent the winter with Washington at Valley Forge. He came to Spencer about 1798, where he resided until 1807, when he removed to a farm, long known as the " Spalding Farm," two miles south of West Danby, where his wife died in 1832; after which, and until his deatlı (November, 1838), he lived with his children. He was buried in the old cemetery at Spencer. His son William, father of Truman, was born in Vermont, in 1791 ; he came to Spencer with his father, in 1798. From 1807 till 1830 he resided on the homestead farm. In the last-named year he removed to Mott's Corners, in the town of Caroline, Tompkins Co., N. Y.

Truman Spalding was born in the town of Spencer, Tioga Co., N. Y., Oct. 24, 1819. With his parents he re- moved to the town of Caroline, as before mentioned. He made his father's house his home until the date of his mar- riage, in 1854 (Sept. 13), to Hannah, daughter of Deacon Charles Cooper, of Caroline. One child only was born to them,-Evelyn D. Spalding, now living at home.

Mr. Spalding followed railroading until his marriage, since which farming has engaged liis attention. In politics he is a Republican. He has held various local offices ; was constable for three years, and town collector for two years, in the town of Caroline. He also held the office of over- seer of the poor, which he resigned in 1876, when he was elected county superintendent of the poor, which position he fills at present.

The Spalding family are of English descent, and for many years past the branches of the family residing in Central New York have held frequent family reunions, some of which have been quite notable. In 1872 it took place near the Spencer camp-ground, in a large tent erected for the purpose, at which about 100 were preseut, of whom all are still (1878) living, except Rev. Mr. Spalding, of Mott's Corners ; Sarah, wife of Ebenezer Spalding, of Stoughton, Wis. ; Lucy, wife of Benjamin Cowell ; Shepherd Bassett and wife, of Spencer ; and Mrs. Maria Shepard, of Van Etten. The latest reunion was held Sept. 26, 1878, at the house of Mrs. Amy Barker, the oldest surviving child of Elder Spalding, now residing in West Danby. Of her six brothers and five sisters, only Ebenezer (aged seventy-one) and Betsey (aged sixty-seven) are still living. They were present on this joyful occasion, the several generations being represented by three children, eighteen grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

JAMES H. SNOW

was born Dec. 1, 1820, in the town of Caroline, Tompkins Co., N. Y., where he has always resided. He is the eldest child of Jonathan and Polly (Marcy) Snow, who moved

from Worcester Co., Mass., in the year 1816. He had one brother (who was killed by lightning in the year 1852) and five sisters. He received a common-school education and taught several terms. He was married in the year 1847 to Sarah J. Taft, and has four children, the eldest of whom is married and settled near him. He is a carpenter and farmer. He has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church since the year 1851; for many years a Sabbath-school superintendent, and most of the time an official member.

J. H. Snow

He has held several town offices; was supervisor in the year 1863, and took an active part in raising troops for the Union army. He has always been an active, outspoken advocate of temperance, and has done much towards bring- ing about prohibition in his town.

Sarah J. (Taft) Snow is the daughter of John and Arethusa (Gould) Taft, who moved from Massachusetts in the year 1820. She was born March 19, 1824. in the town of Caroline, Tompkins Co., where she has always re- sided. She was engaged in teaching for five years before her marriage.

She is the eldest of four children. Her only brother- William H. Taft-enlisted as second lieutenant in the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regiment New York Volun- teer Infantry, in the Union army, and died near Harper's Ferry. Her father was a soldier in the war of 1812; and her maternal grandfather-Eli Gould-a Revolutionary soldier, which facts tend to show a commendable patriotism in the family.

Mr. and Mrs. Snow both enjoy the respect and esteem of the community in which they were born and have spent their eminently useful and Christian lives. They have an interesting family, the members of which are likewise held in high regard.

John is the son of Josiah Taft, whose father, Jesse Taft, is a descendant of Robert Taft, whose first appear- 59

ance in this country, as far as is known, was in the year 1678, in Braintree, Mass. Directly after King Philip's war, he moved to the town of Mendon, and became a large land-holder in that and adjoining towns, some of which was purchased of the Indians.

NATHANIEL MARTIN TOBEY

was born in Caroline (then Tioga) County, April 25, 1813, -the fifth of the name in America. He is of English descent. His grandfather died in 1803, and his great-great- grandfather in 1730, in England, both being buried in the Berkley church-yard, where the remains of most of this old family were interred. Many of the heads of the Tobey family for generations were Presbyterian ministers .- chil- dren of the Covenanters. Nathaniel's father (also named Nathaniel) was left with the care of the family at the age of sixteen, and he bravely maintained them until he was twenty-one, when he married Eunice Peirce, daughter of

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

Captain James Peirce, of Middlebury, Plymouth Co., Mass. In the year 1810 they emigrated to the State of New York, and in 1812 settled in the town of Caroline.

Nathaniel M. Tobey married Esther M. Hart, daughter of Hon. Josiah Hart, late of Cortlandville, N. Y. She died in 1868, aged fifty-six, leaving two sons and two daughters. In 1870, Mr. Tobey married Mary T. An- drews, daughter of Simon Andrews.

Mr. Tobey attended distriet and select schools until nine- teen years of age, finishing his education at the Ithaca Academy the following year. At the age of twenty-one he was elected inspector of common schools ; subsequently was chosen school commissioner. He has also held other town offiees. In 1833 he enlisted in the Ithaca Cavalry ; held several commissions in the same from Governor Win. L. Marcy, and was honorably discharged for full service by Brigadier-General R. Halsey. His avocation has been principally farming and lumbering; although he built a steam flouring- and saw-mill, which he managed suecess- fully for nine years, and until burnt by incendiaries, July 3, 1863, thereby losing $10,000. He is now the owner of 450 acres of good farming and timber land, and two saw- mills (water-power) with a capacity of 160,000 feet per annum. He is now in his sixty-fifth year, enjoying good health, and is one of the foremost men in the town.

L. L. GOODRICH.

The subject of this brief notice is the son of Captain Elizur Goodrich, who was a resident of the town of Berk- shire, Tioga Co., N. Y., at the time of the birth of L. L., in the year 1837, July 1. The following year his father removed to the town of Caroline, Tompkins Co., and loeated upon what is now known as the Goodrich farm. L. L. lived at home, assisting his father in agricultural labors, until Jan. 1, 1864, when he went into the Union army to aid in quelling the Rebellion. He was honorably discharged, however, the following April, returned home, and bought his father's farm in the spring of 1865. His parents lived with him during the rest of their days. Mr. Goodrich was married, Jan. 5, 1870, to Clara, daughter of C. V. Covert, of Farmer Village, Seneca Co., N. Y. Their family consisted of two boys,-Louis C. Goodrich, born April 4, 1871, and Chauneey S. Goodrich, born June 17, 1876.

Mr. Goodrich is the largest land-owner in the town of Caroline, being the possessor of five hundred aeres of good land, and keeping sixty eows, one hundred head of cattle, two trotting-horses, etc. He is energetie and enterprising, and leaving attained a comfortable competence, he can enjoy life, in his manhood's prime, in a community where he is generally known and respected.

CHAPTER LXVIII.

DANBY.

THE poet must have had a prospect in his mind's eye very similar to the town of Danby when he wrote the fol- lowing lines :

" Here spreads a forest, there a village shines, Here swell the hills and there a vale declines, Here through the fields meandering waters run, And there a placid lake reflects the full-orb'd sun."

Perhaps no like area of territory in the State possesses a greater variety of scenery than is presented in this town.

Its surface is broken by ranges of hills, extending north and south, from 300 to 400 feet above the valleys, and from 1200 to 1500 feet above the level of Cayuga Lake. Their summits are beautifully rounded, and their declivities just steep enough to lend a pieturesqueness to the general landseape as viewed therefrom. The town is admirably watered, not only by the streams,-the principal of which are Cayuga Inlet, Buttermilk and Six-Mile Creeks,-but also by numerous living springs, which gush out of the earth in nearly every form. The soil is a mixed gravelly and shaly loam, with occasional areas of elay, and is adapted to grazing as well as to the production of the

cereals, hay, and also tobacco, which is raised to some ex- tent in the valleys. The area of the town is 34,143 acres, of which 25,235 aercs are improved. There are in the town about 130 miles of moderately well-kept roads.

THE SETTLEMENT

of the town was commenced in 1795, by Isaac and John Dumond and Jacob and John Yaple, who formed a sort of copartnership on their arrival at what is now the village of Ithaca, in 1789, which continued for some years subsequent to their settlement in the town of Danby. These pioneers were from Ulster Co., N. Y., as were the majority of those who settled in the north and north- west parts of the town, while those who located on what is known as the " Beers Settlement" were principally from Fairfield Co., Conn. The Dumonds and Yaples experienced the usual hardships incident to pioneer life, but being men accustomed to toil, possessing hardy and robust constitutions and indomitable energy (which was about all the capital they had to start with), they began operations to effect a permanent settlement on the tract of unbroken wilderness they had taken up. They were compelled to cut their way through the woods, to con- struct their own roads, and to saw the timber necessary to erect their humble habitations. They surmounted all these difficulties, and lived to enjoy in a measure the fruits of their patient and unremitting industry and care. The tract where these worthy pioneers settled is now included in the farms owned by John Seaman, James Comfort, Mary, widow of Henry Yaple, and Havilla, son of David Yaple (familiarly known as Dr. David Yaple). These old fami- lies are quite numerously represented in the town and various parts of the county, but only one in the second gen- eration, we believe, survives, namely, Isaac Dumond, who was born on the old homestead (the Comfort farm) Aug. 12, 1795 .*

In the Beers Settlement, the pioneers were Dr. Lewis Beers and Jabez Bcers, his brother, who came in from Stratford, Fairfield Co., Conn., in the spring of 1797. They located on the farms now owned by E. L. B. Curtis, Esq., and Lewis Hall, respectively, the former of whom is a grandson of Dr. Beers. The doctor was accompanied by his wife and two indentured young men,-William R. Col- lins, aged sixteen, and Joseph Judson, aged fifteen years,- both of whom subsequently became good practical farmers and influential citizens, one of Ithaca and the other of Danby. Jabcz Beers had a wife and family, but of his direct descendants only one now survives, namely, Harriet, wife of John Scott, of Ithaca. The nearest neighbors to the Beers' for several years after their arrival were Elias Deyo, near by, Joseph Todd, seven miles south, and Archie Green, three miles north. Dr. Beers was a very prominent man in his town and county. He was commissioned the first justice of the peace in the town, receiving his warrant from Governor Tompkins in 1807. He was appointed the same year first judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was succeeded in the latter position by his brother Jabez, who was also subsequently elected a member of Assembly.

The doctor was the first and only president of the Owego and Ithaca Turnpike Company, assuming that office in 1812, and retaining it until the road was surrendered to the public, as a highway, in 1841 ; he was the founder and first pastor of the New Jerusalem Church (commonly called by non-members Swedenborgian), which faith, after a careful investigation, he adopted about 1813. In these several positions of physician, farmer, minister of the gospel, presi- dent of the Turnpike Company, and merchant, he evinced an unfaltering desire to do his whole duty, and how well he succeeded is known to those at all acquainted with his his- tory. After a long and useful life Dr. Beers died Sept. 4, 1849, aged eighty-one years six months and four days.

As an evidence of his strong filial affection, we mention the fact that in the spring of 1805 he returned to Strat- ford, and brought out with him his aged parents, Abner Beers, Sr., and Hannah, his wife, and younger brother Na- than. He made the declining years of his parents' lives happy and comfortable, and when, on the 3d of January, 1816, the "grim monster" came with the inevitable sum- mons for his father, and on the 10th of April, 1817, for his mother also, he affectionately closed their eyes and inourned their loss sincerely. His father was eighty years old when he died, and his mother seventy-six, and they had spent a wedded life of fifty-five years. Verily, their end was peace.

Following the Beers' above mentioned came David Clark, in 1801; Lewis Beardsley, who settled on the farm now occupied by Stockton B. Judson, in 1802. Benjamin Jennings arrived the same year. He was the father of Oscar Jennings, and grandfather of Benjamin Jennings, the present town clerk. He came from Cornwall, Coun., and settled on the farm now occupied by the family of William Buckland. Benjamin Jennings was a member of Assembly in 1827 and 1837. Deacon Hezekiah Clark, John Pumpelly, and Philo Hawes came in 1803; Benijah Tieknor, in 1804. During this year the malarial fever in- cident to the lake region became epidemic, as it were, and nearly all the pioneers were prostrated. Abner Beers, Jr., came in 1804, and Nathan Beers in 1805. This year Joseph Judson purchased and settled on the farm now oc- cupied by his younger son, Stockton B. Judson, and some- times by his widow, Abigail, who was eighty-eight years of age on the 8th of July, 1878. Comfort Butler, Nathan and Seymour H. Adams, and David Smith, with their fami- lies, came in 1806. These were all native-born citizens, and the only foreigner up to this time in Beers' Settlement was Elias Deyo, who came there in 1796. He is described by Dr. Beers, in his journal, as a good-natured Dutchman, industrious and provident in his habits, and obliging in his manners. From 1806 to the commencement of hostilities between this country and Great Britain, in 1812, the influx of emigration was steady, though at no time numerous. Among those who arrived in this part of the town during the period above indicated were, -

Elbert Curtis, M.D., father of E. L. B. Curtis, Esq., who arrived from Stratford, Conn., in the year 1809, and settled on the farm now owned by his son, above named. He subsequently purchased the Jabez Beers homestead, upon which he continued to reside until 1857, when he re- moved to Ithaca, where he died, Nov. 3, 1866, aged sixty-

nine years, having been quite a prominent citizen both of Danby and Ithaca. He was a member of the Assembly in 1838, and held several town offices at different times. Seneca Howland came in 1807.

Selick Bates and Charles Wright settled in the town in 1812. The former moved to Caroline in 1842, where his son Abraham married a daughter of Charles Wright, above mentioned. Returning to the north and northwest parts of the town, we find coming in 1804 Thomas, John, Wil- liam, Abraham, James, and Samuel Swartout, from Ulster Co., N. Y. This family is numerously represented in the town. The same year " Uncle" Peter Davis, and William Davis, his son, arrived ; and soon thereafter John Master- son, Spencer Elsten, and Jacob Wise. John Elyea, the original member in the town of that family, came in 1813.

John Miller settled in 1805, on the farm now owned by Isaac Hanford.

In the western part of the town Moses Barker was also among the pioneers. He came in 1814, and settled on the farm now owned by his son-in-law, G. A. Todd. His widow survives, at the good old age of eighty-five years, remarkably well preserved, both mentally and physically. A few years later came James Briggs, who settled on a farm about half a mile from West Danby post-office; and Isaac Briggs, his brother, settled on a farm within one mile of him. John Patchen eame in some years later .*

In the south part of the town we find the following, among others, at an early day :

Moses Banfield came in from New Jersey in 1802. He subsequently settled on the farm now occupied by George J. Pratt, where his two elder children were born,-Han- nah, the widow of James A. Smith, of Schuyler Co., and Joel, now a resident of the town of Groton. His son, Isaac Banfield, is an old aud respected citizen of Danby. Aaron Benuctt came in from Connecticut in 1806, and settled on the farm now occupied by William Rittenhouse.

Amos Hall, grandfather of Albert Hall, eame in about 1807, and settled on the place where Albert now resides. Two years later his sons, Leonard and Silas Hall, came in, the former of whom was the father of Albert Hall, Esq.

Isaac Jennings arrived from Saratoga County in 1815, and settled on the farm now owned by William Smiley. Among others who settled in various parts of the town prior to 1840 were Simon Loomis, Jackson Graves, Elihu Keeler, Esq., father of Charles B. Kecler, who came in from l'utuam County, N. Y., and settled on the farm now occu- pied by his son above named. He was justice of the l'cace from 1844 to 1852.

INITIAL EVENTS.

The first houses erected within the present limits of the town were built simultaneously by the Dumonds, Isaac and John, and the Yaples, Jacob and John, in the spring of 1795.

The first frame house was erected by Dr. Lewis Beers, in 1801.

The first birth was that of Isaac, son of John Dumond, August 12, 1795, who is still living (1878).

The first death was that of Mrs. Rogers, wife of Joseph Rogers, tenants of the Dumonds, about the year 1797.

The first mills were erected by the Dumonds and Ya- ples,-a saw-mill in 1797, and a grist-mill in 1799. They stood on Buttermilk Creek, on an undivided 100 acres, joint property of the two families.

The first school-house in town was erected in the Beers settlement about 1800-1, of which the first teacher was Joseph. Within a year or two a school-house was built in the Dumond and Yaple neighborhood. Prior to this a log school-house was built and school taught in what is now the town of Ithaca, which the children of those residing in the north part of the town of Danby attended.

The first church edifice was that erected by the Presby- terian Society, at Danby village, in 1820. It is now owned and occupied by the Congregationalists, having been remod- eled and repaired.

The first tannery was erected by Luther Foster, about 1810, and stood within half a mile of Danby village.

CIVIL ORGANIZATION.

Danby was formed from Spencer, Tioga Co., Feb. 22, 1811, and was transferred to this county, March 22, 1822. On the 29th of April, 1839, the following-described por- tion of the town of Caroline was annexed to Danby : " Lots . Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the first tier of lots ; and lots Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the second tier, in the south part of the northeast section of township 10, in the Watkins and Flint Purchase."
