In the spring of 1803 he received a pig from some dis- tant friends in the East. This pig was allowed to run at liberty about the house and in the woods, and grew to be a fine large shoat, weighing about sixty or eighty pounds. As Mr. Hull was chopping wood at his door one day, he heard the pig squealing at the edge of the woods-only about fifteen rods distant-as if something unusual was the" matter. A windfall of large pines lay between the

house and the standing timber, around which the eattle in passing had beaten a hard path. With axe in hand, he took this path at the top of his speed, followed by his oldest son and Thomas Lewis. When they reached the farther edge of the windfall, they discovered a large bear upon his hind legs with the pig in his arms, and making for the swamp at a very respectable pace, halting occasionally to look at his pursuers and to get a better hold of his prize. The bear shortly arrived at a very large pine log, over which he was struggling and tugging to get the pig, when Mr. Hull dashed up from behind and drove his axe the full length of the bit into Bruin's head, killing him instantly, exclaiming at the same time, " Damn you, Bruin ! I'll learn you to steal my only pig in broad daylight." The pig, though badly injured, got well and grew to full-grown pro- portions. Mr. Hull removed to Pennsylvania a few years afterwards, and we believe that none of his family or de- seendants are residents of the town at the present time.

Among others who arrived here in the year 1801 were the brothers Richard, Thomas, Daniel, Benjamin, and James Laey, from the vicinity of Belvidere, N. J. Richard set- tled west of Dryden village, on the property now owned by Jackson Jameson, Esq., and was the first owner of the Dryden Springs. The springs were then known as "Laey's Deer-Lick," and upon the supposition that salt existed there the brothers made a determined effort to find it, but failed. Thomas Lacy settled one-half mile south of the village, and Daniel, the first school-teacher in the town, settled just south of his brother Thomas. Benjamin settled on the south side of the Bridle Road, within the corporate limits of the present village of Dryden ; while James, the youngest brother, located in the vicinity of Dryden Lake.

Thomas and Daniel removed to Ohio about the year 1816; Richard to Illinois, and James to Indiana, in 1845. Benjamin Lacy's family remained here, and became identi- fied with the interests of the town. We find that of six children five of them are living, as follows : Cornelius, aged seventy-seven, in Iowa; Mrs. Esther Hart, aged seventy- five, in Cortland ; Garret, aged seventy-two, in Wisconsin ; John C., aged seventy, in Dryden village ; and Samuel, aged sixty-eight, in Conneetieut.

Eerly in the spring of 1801, Peter and Christopher Snyder, brothers, eame to Dryden from Oxford, New Jersey, and selected lot No. 43, which they intended to purchase. They ineautiously and thoughtlessly told their choice to William Goodwin, who immediately proceeded to Albany and bought the lot of the owners. On their arrival at the State capital, the brothers learned of the purchase of Goodwin, but subsequently bought it of him for three dollars per acre. Immediately after the purchase, the two brothers and Henry Snyder, son of Peter, and George Dart, son-in-law of Christopher, returned here. These four persons theu chopped down six acres of timber just east of Peter V. Snyder's house, after which they returned to their homes in New Jersey. In the fall the two brothers, with George Snyder and George Dart, eame baek, logged and burned over the land chopped the previous spring, purchased wheat of John Ozmun, of Lansing, for three shillings per bushel, sowed their fallow, and returned again to New Jersey.

# It is stated, upon good authority, that when Captain John Ellis' company left for the front there were but fourteen men remaining in the town liable to do military duty who had not been drafted or fur- nished a substitute.

JOHN C. LACY.

Benjamin Lacy, the father of the subject of this sketch, and son of Richard Lacy, was born in New Jersey, Oct. 1, 1768, and died in Dryden, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1820. He was the fourth of eight sons, as follows : John, Richard, Garret (who was judge of court in New Jersey for twenty years), Benjamin, William, Thomas, Daniel, and James, all of whom lived to be old men but himself. He had one sister, who died in infancy.

He moved to Dryden in the fall of 1801, with his wife, daughter of Captain Cornelius Carhart, who commanded a company of sixty men in the battle of Monmouth, on June 18, 1778. He was of English and she of German descent. They had six children, named as follows : Re- becca, Cornelius, Esther, Garret, John C., and Samuel. Mrs. Lacy was born in Morris Co., N. J., Oct. 23, 1767, and dicd in Dryden, N. Y., April 18, 1833. She survived her husband thirteen years, and kept her family together up to the time of her decease. She was a woman of sound mind, kind, frugal, and industrious. He was a farmer by occupation, but had to clear his land before he could cultivate it, enduring with wife and family much of the hardships of pioncer life. He was one of the founders of Dryden village, a portion of his land being now comprised in the present corporation. He did much for the cause of education in the village during its infancy.

In 1819 he erected the first clothing works in Dryden. In 1820 he and two of his brothers dug and prospectcd for salt in the vicinity of the " Dryden Springs Place," which led to the discovery of those valuable mineral springs.

He believed in the Christian religion. He was kind and benevolent almost to a fault, and his counsel and advice were sought and prized by all.

John C. Lacy, third son of Benjamin Lacy, was born Oct. 21, 1808, on the farm owned by his father, and on which a portion of Dryden village now stands. He is a fariner by occupation. He commenced at the age of four- teen, in copartnership with his brother Garret, two years his senior, on the estate left by their father to his widow and six children, it being at this time encumbered by debt. After purchasing from time to time the interests of the heirs, and paying the encumbrances ou the estate, clearing and improving the land, building, etc., in 1857 the copart- nership was dissolved, and the greater part of the estate passed into John C. Lacy's hands, to which more has sinec been added. He has held such offices of trust, by the gift of the people, as inspector of elections, commissioner of highways, assessor, school and corporation trustee, etc. In 1861, having embraced religion and united with the Meth- odist Episcopal Church of Dryden, he has taken a deep in- terest in its prosperity, contributing largely, both in time and money, for its support, holding positions of trustee, leader, distributing and recording steward, clerk, treasurer, etc.

He united with the first temperance society organized in Dryden.

He was married in the town of Candor, N. Y., to Maria A., daughter of the late Asa M. White, of Willseyville, Tioga Co., N. Y. His family consists of himself, wife, and one daughter, Ada Belle, a lady of promise and artistic skill, twenty years of age, and now engaged in the study of music and portrait painting. Mr. Lacy's carly advantages for education were poor, but much reading and investiga- tion have made him an intelligent man. Mr. Lacy has always been regarded as a man of the strictest integrity and honesty, and is highly estecmned by all who know him.

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

On the first day of June, 1802, Peter Snyder and his entire family of thirteen persons, together with all their worldly goods packed in two lumber-wagons, started for their new home in the then " far west." One of the wagons was drawn by two span of horses, and the other by two yoke of oxen. Ilis sons, William, John, and Abraham, drove twenty-five eows the entire distance through the woods barefooted. They were accompanied by Christopher Snyder and family of fourteen persons, Henry Naile, his wife and child, and Jacob Crutts and wife. There were in all thirty-two persons, six wagons, eighteen horses, five yoke of oxen, and twenty-five cows, each eow having a bell.

They erossed the Delaware River at Belvidere, eame through what was then known as the " Beech Woods," in Pennsylvania, to Great Bend, thence down the valley of the Susquehanna to Owego. From Owego there was a. track eut through the woods as far as Pewtown, along which they came. From Pewtown to Judd's they were obliged to cut out their own road, and thenee they came up the " Bridle Road," arriving at the inn of Captain George Robertson June 18, having been eighteen days on the journey, and traversed a distance of 165 miles. Before starting they cooked provisions enough for the entire journey ; made tea in a kettle which they carried for that purpose, by either building a fire on the ground where they encamped, or got permission to " boil the tea-kettle" over the old-fashioned fireplace of a settler when any lived in the vicinity of their encampment. At night they slept in their covered wagons. They obtained fire by striking a piece of steel against a flint, so held that a spark therefrom would ignite a piece of punk wood.

On arriving here the brothers threw up a chip " wet or dry" as to choice of land. By chance the eastern half fell to Christopher, and the western half to Peter, each retain- ing half of the wheat that was sown. The next day all hands eommeneed work on Peter Snyder's log house, which was completed in a few days. It was built opposite the present residence of Bradford Snyder. The family had just moved in on the green hewn floors, when the children were all taken sick with the measles, eaught at Water Tavern, Pa. Two of the children died. As they could not learn of any burials having taken place here, or of any ground being chosen for that purpose, Captain Robertson told them to make choice of any place on his land, and they chose the hill-side. These were the first interments in the Robertson Cemetery.

Peter Snyder subsequently purchased the whole of lot 42, 640 acres, and was enabled to give to each of his sons 106 aeres, and to each of his daughters 53 aeres in one continuous body. The descendants are as numerous, almost, as the leaves on the trees. At a family reunion held in 1874, the descendants of Peter Snyder were estimated to number 668, of whom 540 were then living, among whom were Peter, aged ninety years, and William, aged eighty- eight years,-survivors of Peter Snyder's family who made the journey here in 1802. William, one of the sons who, traveling barefooted, assisted. to drive the eows from Oxford, N. J., to this town, is now living here in his ninety-second year. Mr. Alviras Snyder, a grandson of Peter Snyder

the pioneer, is the possessor of a large pewter platter that was brought by Christopher Schneider (the progenitor of this family) from Germany in 1747.

Andrew Sherwood, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, accompanied by his son Thomas, came from Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., of this State, in 1802, and located upon lot No. 9, near the northeast corner of the township. He died at the age of ninety-nine years. Thomas, the son, participated in the war of 1812, was a miller by trade, and a worthy citizen. He lived to be ninety-one years of age. Of his family of eleven children, we believe that William Sherwood, born here in 1808, is the only survivor.

William Sweazy lived one-half mile north of Varna, and a man named Cooper had settled one-half mile south of Etna, as early as 1801.

Edward Griswold, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, accompanied by his wife and son, Abraham, came from Fairfield, Conn., and settled on lot 39, in 1802. During his lifetime he was one of the leading citizens. He died at the age of eighty-four years. His wife lived to be ninety-five years of age.

Seth Wheeler, and his sons, Seth, Jr., and Enos, eame from New Hampshire, and settled just north of Dryden village the same year (1802); and Jesse Bartholomew, from Massachusetts, settled here in 1804.

Jacob Primrose came from Sussex Co., N. J., and settled at West Dryden, then called "Fox's Corners," in 1803. Henry, a son, was a soldier in the war of 1812. Lewis, another son, aged seventy-nine years, is a resident of Etna village at the present time. He has been a constable of the town for nearly fifty years.

Jacob Rhodes came in from Lansing, where his father had settled at a very early day, and located in the Pine Woods, on the Bridle Road. He was a most worthy eitizen, and lived to be ninety-two years of age.

Joseph Hart came from Hopewell, N. J., and settled near Judge Ellis, in 1805. His father was a veteran of the Revolution.

Thomas Southworth and his son, John Southworth, who was then ten years of age, came in from Herkimer County, and settled at Willow Glen, in 1806. The father bought a small farm, established a tannery there, and also kept a tavern at Willow Glen at an early day. He lived to be ninety-four years of age. The son married a daughter of Judge Ellis. In later years he turned his attention to buying and selling lands, his operations extending to different States ; was very successful, amassed a large for- tune, and years before his death was widely known as Dryden's millionaire: He died at the age of eighty-two years.

Besides those whom we have already mentioned as early settlers, we find, by searching what is left of the old town records, that the following-named men were here in years previous to 1807, and were town officers, overseers of highway, ete., viz. : William Garrison, Lewis Fortner, William Harned, Amnah Peet, Joseph Schofield, John Montayney, Derick Sutfin, Jacob Snyder, Samuel Heming- way, Amos Lewis, Isaiah Giles, David Lewis, Benjamin Jennings, Obadiah Brown, James Yeomans, John Conklin, Samuel Clark, William Smith, Job Carr, Peleg Carr, Caleb

From 1800 to 1810 there was a continnous and rapid immigration to the town of Dryden, for we find, by referring to the census report of the latter year, that the town then had a population of 1893 people,-considerably more than one-third as many inhabitants as the town contains to-day.

Rev. Daniel McArthur, a native of Scotland, settled on the farm now owned by his son, Ebenezer, in 1811.

Thomas Jameson, also of Seoteh origin, came in from Orange County in 1810, and settled on the Cramer plaee.

David J. Baker eame from Homer and settled in Dryden village, 1816. He has been one of its most active citizens, and resides here at the present time, aged eighty-three years.

Rice Weed came from Connecticut, and settled first at Geneganstlet Corners, Chenango Co. In 1816 he removed to Dryden, locating at Etna village. He was postmaster and justice of the peace for many years.

Hon. Elias W. Cady came in from Canaan, Columbia Co., in 1816, and settled on the farm now owned by him. He is of English origin, his father having cmigrated from Liv- erpool to Canaan in 1741. Mr. Cady has been one of Dry- den's most successful farmers, and is the present owner of about 700 acres. In contrasting the past with the present, he relates that, in 1817, Parley Whitmore would not trust him for three pounds of nails. He has been supervisor of his town for two terms; represented Tompkins County in the State Legislature in 1850, and again in 1857. Mr. Cady, at the age of eighty-six years, is still in the possession of a good share of his physical strength and all his faculties.

Paul Ewers, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, came from Lee, Mass., and settled first at Scipio, Cayuga Co. In 1813 he removed to Dryden, and located on the property now owned by the family. His son, Paul Ewers, Jr., joined his father here in 1818, and is now eighty-three years of age.

Jacob Lumbard came from Greene, Chenango Co., and settled at Etna in 1822; is still living here, aged ninety-two years. Was born in Boston, Mass.

William Hanford, from Onondaga County, settled on the farm now owned by his son George, in 1823.

Captain John Gardner, a wagon-master of the Continental army, who assisted Washington in crossing the Delaware, came from Greenwich, N. J., and settled in Cortland County in 1815. In 1823 he removed to Dryden, where many of his descendants now reside.

Jacob Stickles, a soldier of 1812, with his sons, Anson,

Andrus, Job, and Bryant, eame from Albany County, and settled at Willow Glen, in 1833.

We might mention, in this connection, that besides those already named, George B. Guinnip represented this county in the State Legislature in 1836-37; James W. Montgom- ery, in 1846; and Jeremiah W. Dwight in 1860-61.

INITIAL EVENTS.

Amos Sweet built the first house, in 1797. Nathaniel Sheldon built the first framed house. It stood where the old brick store erected by John Southworth now stands. Lyman Hurd built the first framed barn, in 1801. John Southworth built the first brick house and store, both erected the same year, 1836.

Daniel White built the first grist-mill, in 1802. It stood near the site of the Freeville Mill of the present day. Colonel Hopkins, of Homer, and Ruluff Whitney, of Dry- den, built the first saw-mill, in 1800. It stood on the. premises known as the Joseph McGraw property ; and as the. pond flooded some forty acres, it killed the large trees, and rank vegetation then growing, eaused the outbreak of the fever and ague which subsequently raged in the town.

Captain George Robertson opened the first farm and har- vested the first crops, in 1798. The first improved stock came from the Cornell herd, Ithaea. Elias W. Cady owned the first mowing-machine, in 1850. It was an Emory ma- chine. George Robertson kept the first tavern, in 1801.

Joel Hull kept the first storc, at " Willow Glen," in 1802.

The first stage from IIomer to Ithaca began running about 1824. Abraham Post is believed to have been the first postmaster.

The post-office was established about 1815. A man named Newman carried the mail on foot from Oxford to Ithaca, in 1817.

Daniel Lacy taught the first school, 1802, in the house built by Amos Sweet in 1797.

The Presbyterian church was erected in 1821. The Baptists organized the first religious society in 1804.

Ruluff Whitney was married to Miss Susan Glenny, of Virgil, in 1800. Captain William Snyder was married to Miss Elizabeth Rhodes in 1802. The twins of Lyman Hurd, born 1802, are the first of which we have any re- cord. Mrs. Elizabeth Naile, who died in the fall of 1802, is believed to have been the first adult to die in the town. She was the daughter of Peter Snyder. Two children of the Snyders had died of the measles in June previous.

Dr. Nathaniel Shelden was the first physician to reside here ; Dr. John Taylor the next one.

Rev. Jeremiah Osborn, of the Presbyterian Church, was the first resident pastor, 1816.

Joel Hull was the first surveyor. The town was first surveyed by John Konkle, of Schoharie County, in 1790.

H. D. Rumsey issued the first newspaper, Rumsey's Com- panion, 1856.

The Bridle Road was the first highway opened. It was done by the State, 1795. The highway running north from Willow Glen, intersecting the State road near the former residence of Deacon Thomas, was opened by the authorities of the town of Ulysses in 1800. Lyman Hurd brought in the first horses, 1800.
