gradual slopes to a height of from 100 to 300 feet. The highest point is about 1500 above tide-water. It is watered principally by Owasco Inlet running north through the centre, and Fall Creek running south through the eastern part of the town. Bear Swamp in the west part contains several hundred acres. The soil is a fine quality of gravelly loam, underlaid by slate, and is well adapted to all agricul- tural purposes. The attention of the farming classes is chiefly devoted to the production of hay and the cereals, stock-raising, and wool-growing. At McLean village is situated one of the largest and most successful chieese-fac- tories in the State, and another one is to be found near Groton village.

The productions of the foundry and machine-shops and carriage-manufactories of Groton village have a widespread reputation for excellence, and are shipped to all parts of the Union. These works furnish employment steadily to many mechanics and laborers, and have been in full and success- ful operation for many years.

According to the census report of 1875, the town con- tains a total area of 30,045 acres, of which 24,515 are im- proved. A population of 3422, of which 3251 are natives, 171 foreign born ; 3422 white, colored none ; 1697 males, 1725 females ; aliens, 40. Number of males of voting age, 1013, of whom 934 are natives, 61 naturalized, and 18 aliens. Number of males of military age, 656. Persons of school age, 411 males, 403 females. Number of land-own- ers, 661. Persons twenty-one years of age and upwards unable to read and write, 28.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

In the old town of Locke, as in other towns of the Mili- tary Tract, we find that at the time the first settlements began, which occurred at the close of the last and the be- ginning of the present century, the land for the most part had passed out of the hands of the first owners, i.e., the veterans of the Revolution, and was owned by speculators, residents of New York, Albany, and other eastern towns and cities. These lots of 640 acres each were being sub- divided into smaller lots to suit purchasers, who were simul- taneously settling in various portions of the State.

Diverse opinions exist as to whom belongs the honor of first settling that part of the town of Locke now known as Groton township. After going over the ground, and indulg- ing in much patient research, we are inclined to believe with Prof. M. M. Baldwin, that John Perrin was the first settler of " Groton Hollow" and of the town.

It seems that Major Benjamin Hicks, of Canajoharie, N. Y., an officer who had served with much distinction in the war of the Revolution, owned lot No. 75 in the town of Locke. In the summer of 1797, John Perrin, formerly of Berkshire Co., Mass., was in his employ. During said time Major Hicks made an arrangement with Mr. Perrin to move upon said lot, commence to clear it off, cause it to be sur- veyed into smaller lots, and offer such portions to actual settlers as were willing to purchase. In October of that year two teanis, with lumber-wagons loaded with household furniture, provisions, and other necessaries, were fitted out ; Perrin and his wife, with Ebenezer Williams, from Charle- mont, Mass., going with one load, and Ezra Carpenter, from

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

Savoy, Mass., with the other. On and on they traveled, day after day, over roads wellnigh impassable. During the latter part of their journey, when they had left all beaten paths behind them, Williams aeted as guide, going forward on foot and seleeting the traek. For the last few miles he was directed by the " blazed trees" along the lines which had been made by the State surveyor. Lot No. 75 was at last reached. They found a large tree turned up with its roots, some ten rods south of Benjamin Hatch's. Here they halted, and beside this tree they built a shelter which they oceupied for nearly a month, while they construeted a permanent dwelling. Their house was of logs, and was located in the hollow, south of Roland White's, and some four rods west of the road. The ground was then so marshy that it took them all day to eross the valley with their teams, for the first time, from their brush shanty to their log palace. Williams, who was a surveyor, went on foot to Cortland, and borrowed a compass and eliain of Samuel Crittenden. With these they surveyed the lot and subdivided it into portions suitable for farmus, preparatory to offering them for sale, in accordance with Major Hicks' plan. Before winter set in Williams and Carpenter re- turned to Canajoharie, and thenee to Massachusetts. John Perrin and his wife passed the winter of 1797-98 alone in the wilderness. The next spring his father, Lemuel Per- rin and family, eame from Berkshire Co., Mass., and settled on the 39 acres where B. Hateh's dwelling now stands. It eost him three dollars per acre. S. Jenks Carpenter, from Savoy, Massachusetts, eame the same year, and worked for John Perrin through the summer. In 1803 he bought 50 aeres where Mr. A. Page resides, and paid for it $114 in gold. The same year (1798) Ephraim Spaulding and Michael Grummon came from Brattleborough, Ver- mont, and settled, Spaulding near where Mr. Hicks now lives, and Grummon just north of the sulphur spring. In 1802, Ezra Loomis, Samuel Ingalls, Silas Stuart, Jonas Williams, and many others settled here. Jonas Williams purchased about 100 acres, and built the first grist-mill in the town. This was one story and a half high, and had but one run of stone, which was used in grinding both wheat and eorn.

It is related that one of his customers would sometimes bring along his violin, as well as his grist, and that in return for the entertainment afforded the miller and his customers, his grist went toll-free. Then he built the first saw-mill, which was known many years ago as " the old saw-mill." This mill was torn down to make room for the track of the Southern Central Railroad. IIe also erected the first framed house, where the Union Bloek now stands, about 1806. The grist-mill stood on the site of the present grist-mill in Groton village, and was ereeted about 1810. Mr. Lemuel Perrin was the miller, and he made the first mill-stones from stone procured in the fields near by. The saw-mill was built the following year, and stood near the carriage-factory of Messrs. Hieks & Thorn. The settlements heretofore mentioned were all upon the present site of Groton village.

On the 2d of February, 1797, Samuel Crittenden and his partner, Eben Stone, with an ox-team and sled, started from Guilford, Conn., and arrived at Homer (now Cort-

land), February 27. Mr. Crittenden purchased an eighty- aere farm, and lived on the same five years. In 1801 he traded with Jonathan Hubbard for a farm of 160 acres in Locke, Cayuga Co. (now Groton, Tompkins Co.), and moved into Locke, March 4, 1802, loeating upon the farm now owned by one of his sons, about one and a half miles north of MeLean village. Mr. Crittenden was born Dee. 18, 1778, was married to Miss Hannah Terry, at Homer, by Judge Keep, Aug. 23, 1798, and died in Groton, April 1, 1862. He was one of Groton's foremost and most worthy citizens. Was the first supervisor of the new towns of Division and Groton, and, with John Sutton, first repre- sented the new county of Tompkins in the State Legisla- ture of 1818; also in 1819, 1820-21, and 1822.

Mr. Crittenden was a strong politieian, a zealous Whig, and an ardent admirer of Henry Clay. He held many responsible offices in State, county, and town. Of lis family of eight children, -five sons and three daughters, --- three sons are living on and near the homestead at the present time, all very worthy, estimable citizens. One of them (Norman) has served as clerk of Tompkins County.

Christopher Pipher, with his wife Elizabeth, came from Pennsylvania and settled on lot 96, in 1802. Elizabeth lived to be about one hundred and ten years of age.

Asa Church settled upon the site of the present village of Peruville about the same time, and built a small grist- mill upon Fall Creek at a very early day. Esquire Henry I. Brinkerhoff, Esquire Sylvanus Larned, Dr. Wright, Thomas Johnson, Jeremiah Elston, and Daniel Luther were also early settlers in this part of the town. From 1800 to 1806, emigration from New England, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania rapidly inercased the population of the south half of Loeke. Ezra Carpenter had returned to the new settlement, married John Perrin's sister, and moved upon the Underwood farm. Dr. Nathan Branch, Jonathan Bennett, Peleg Hathaway, and his son Abiatha, Ezra Loomis, Samuel Ingalls, Silas Stuart, Benjamin Williams, David Hicks, William Hicks, and his son James, and Abner Atwood, were all settled at Groton village. Captain Daniel Niven, Major Lemi Bradley, Jesse Bartholomew, Aaron and John Benedict, William S. Clark, General William Cobb, Daniel Maltby, Zacheus Maltby, John Shaw, and his son, Daniel J. Shaw, were at or near Groton eity. Amasa Cobb, Anson Hanchett, Nicholas Rowe, Rev. Benjamin Whipple, and his sons, David and Jona- than, were at Moscow (now McLean village). Rev. Ben- jamin Whipple was a soldier of the Revolution, came from Vermont, and settled first in-Scipio, 1795. Removed to Groton (then Locke) in March, 1806. His sons, Ithamar and Jock, settled in Dryden the same year. The eldest son, David, resides in MeLean village at the present time, aged eighty-six years.

Captain John Guthrie, Samuel Hogg, Job Alling, Joseph Henshaw, Henry Carter, James IIenshaw, Ichabod Brown, and others were at West Groton.

In 1805, David Morton and his brother, Mordecai, David, Jr., and Robert, sons of David, Sr., and Andrew Leonard, a son-in-law of David Morton, Sr., eaure from Colerain, Mass., and settled one and a half miles east of Groton village. David Morton had served four years in

the Continental army. His sons David and Robert were soldiers in the war of 1812. David was first lieutenant of the company commanded by Captain John Smith.

Zacheus Morton (a brother of David Morton, Sr.) settled first in De Ruyter in 1806. In 1809, accompanied by his sons David A. and William, he became a resident of Gro- ton. David A. Morton, who has all his lifetime been closely identified with the business and prosperity of Gro- ton village, still resides here at the age of seventy-seven years. His brother William is a resident of Indiana. Admatha Blodgett, a soldier of the Revolution, settled in Groton village in 1809. He was the first town clerk. Joseph Allen, accompanied by his sons, Asaph and Isaae, came from Worcester, Mass., and settled on lot 61, in 1811. Isaac, the son, had been employed by Theodore Burr, a contractor, as his foreman in building dans and bridges in the States of New Jersey and Maryland. Burr had failed, and Isaae Allen was obliged to take the west half of lot 61 as his pay for a large sum due him. He was a prominent, active business man during the days of the early settle- ment, the second supervisor of Groton, and one of the first justiees appointed. His generosity to the poor was pro- verbial. During the war of 1812, the brothers Asaph and Isaac marched to the front with Captain John Ellis' com- pany. Asaph died in the service. Isaac Allen died at the age of fifty-one years. His wife, who subsequently married Jacob H. Thompson, is now living at West Groton, eighty- four years of age.

Luther Trumble and his sons, Luther, Jr., Chauncey, Solomon, and Homer, came from Suffield, Conn., in 1812, and settled one mile north of Groton village. Luther Trumble lived to be ninety-three years of age. His son Luther was colonel of one of the old militia regiments, and an active business man and builder. He ereeted the first fulling-mill down at the " Willows," in 1818, and the dwelling since used by Levi Thomas as a grocery-store. In 1820 he built the store since owned by the Adams brothers, and also the house south of Goodyear's Hall. In 1825 he built a tavern, sinee occupied by A. Woodbury as a dwelling ; and Mrs. Jas. Gibbs' house for a store, which was filled with goods by him and Major E. Clark. Chauneey Trumble was superintendent of the first Sunday- school. It was organized here by him in 1816. He resides here at the present time, and at the age of eighty- four years is a hale, hearty man, in the possession of all his faculties. John Winslow, of Boston, Mass., settled at Groton village the same year (1812), and soon after went to the front as drum-major. He taught the village school in 1814, manufactured briek in 1818, and pottery in 1825. Died, 1828, at the carly age of thirty-eight years.

Simon Loomis, a veteran of the Revolution, accompanied by his sons, Nathaniel, Solomon, Edward, and Daniel, came from near Hartford, Conn., in 1801, and settled at Oxford, N. Y. In 1813 he removed to this town, locating on lot 52. Nathaniel and Solomon were soldiers in the war of 1812. Solomon, the only survivor of those mentioned, still resides in the same locality, at the age of eighty-two years.

The division of the old towu of Locke, and the forma- tion of the new town of Groton from the south half, in 1817, gave a new impetus to business and the settling up

of the country. Up to the year 1820 emigration must have been rapid and continuous; for we find, by referring to the census report of 1820, that the town of Groton then contained a population of 2742,-about four-fifths as many people as it had in 1875, or a difference of but 680 in favor of the last report.

INITIAL EVENTS.

John Perrin built the first house, in 1797. Jonas Williams built the first framed house. It stood where the Trumble and Reynolds' block now stands, and was erected prior to 1809. He also built the first saw-mill and the first grist-mill, in 1811-12. Warren Jones built the first sash-factory, in 1849. John Perrin was the first innkeeper, distiller, merchant, and brick-maker.

Benjamin Williams was the first postmaster. The office was established in 1812, and mail was received once a week from Homer by a boy on horseback. A Mr. Loomis brought it the next year in a portmanteau. Henry Clark drove the first two-horse stage from Groton to Cortland.

The first school-house, which was constructed of hewn logs, stood near where the Groton carriage-factory now stands, and was built about 1805. Abiatha Hathaway was the first teacher.

The log church edifice of the Congregational Society, which stood about two miles east of Groton village (built about 1810), was the first house of worship in the town. The Baptists of Groton village built the first framed church edifice, in 1819. The Congregationalists of the old " East Church of Locke" organized the first religious society, in 1805.

The first marriage was that of Jonas Williams, Jr., to Miss Hathaway, in 1805. The little three-year-old daugh- ter of John Perrin, who was scalded to death, was the first child born here.

Dr. Nathan Branch was the first physician, 1803. Rev. Benjamin Whipple was the first preacher, 1805. Esquire Blake was the first lawyer, 1819. Ebenezer Williams was the first surveyor and wagon-maker, 1797. Andrew and David Allen, the first blacksmiths. Jonas Williams, the first shoemaker. John Winslow, the first potter. Samuel Love, the first tanner, iu 1811. Jonathan Bennett was the first justice of the peace, in 1805. Lemuel Perrin was the first miller.

H. P. Eels & Co. published the first newspaper, the Groton Balance, Jan. 31, 1839. The first building raised in town without whisky was by Levi Wright, about 1844.

CIVIL HISTORY.

Groton was formed from Locke, as " Division," April 7, 1817, being the south half of Locke, and comprised lots from 51 to 100 inclusive. It was changed to Groton, March 13, 1818. It derives its present name from Groton, Mass., and Groton, Conn .; both these localities being rep- resented among the early settlers of the town.

The following is a copy of the proceedings of the first town-meeting, showing the officers elected, as found in the town records :

" At the First Town-Meeting, held at the house of Samuel Love, in the town of Division, Tompkins County, April 15, 1817, the following officers were elected, viz. :

MRS. V. B. GROSS.

V. B. GROSS.

V. B. Gross was born at Marithon, Cortland Co., N. Y., Sept. 22, 1832. His father, Freeman Gross, was born at Cape Cod, Mass., July 26, 1788, and was of English descent. He came to Central New York soon after 1800. Married Miss Susannah Pres- ton, of Springfield, Otsego County, Jan. 14, 1808, and settled in Broome County in 1810. The most of that region then was an unbroken forest; the few settlers were sparsely scattered, and knew something of the toils and privations of pioneer life. Him- self and heroic wife, a woman of sterling qualities, adapted themselves to the state of things in their new home; lived at Marithon some twenty-five years, where he died July 31, 1843. This worthy couple were the parents of twelve children, eleven of whom lived to be men and women. The immediate subject of this sketch being the youngest, he was bound to his older brother as an apprentice to the coopering busi-

ness ; which business he has pursued in its various changes from the old style of hand coopering, keeping pace with other improvements, until he now employs the most improved machinery, and manufactures some twelve thousand butter packages, fifteen hundred churns, besides a large amount of miscellaneous work.

Mr. Gross is one of the self-made business men of Tompkins County. Has been identified with the Republican party from its organization, and has held the office of supervisor. . Was married, March 29, 1858, to Miss Amelia A. Teeter, daughter of Henry Teeter and Azubah Vaughan, who came from New Jersey and settled in Peruville, this county, about 1825, where he now lives at the advanced age of eighty-two years. His partner died Ang. 21, 1858. They had a family of twelve children, six of whom are now living. Mr. and Mrs. Gross are the parents of three daughters,-Helen A., Susie A., and Libbie G.

GROTON VILLAGE

is pleasantly located on Owasco Inlet, near the central part of the town. It is a station of the Southern Central Rail- way, incorporated, and has about 900 inhabitants. Situ- ated in the midst of a fine agricultural district, and on the high land which forms the water-shed that divides the waters flowing to the Cayuga and Owasco Lakes, it offers many inducements to those desiring quiet, healthful homes. The many elegant, commodious private residences, the busy shops and manufactories, and the well-stocked stores, all in- dicate thrift and refinement. The village is celebrated for its iron-foundry and the manufacture of various agricultu- ral implements and carriages. It also contains an acad- emy, four churches (Baptist, Methodist, Congregational, and Catholie), a newspaper-office, a national bank, town hall, engine-house, a hotel, some ten or twelve stores, be- sides many other small shops and manufactories. John Perrin erected the first log house, in 1797, and Jonas Wil- liams the first framed house, about 1806. In 1817 the village contained seven framed houses, occupied respectively by William Williams, dwelling; Robert C. Reynolds, as a store; S. Jenks Carpenter, dwelling; James Austin, tavern; Pliny Sikes, dwelling ; Dr. Daniel Mead, dwelling; and a school-house. There were about the same number of log houses. Ebenezer Williams returned here about this time, and erected a carriage-shop; also a pretentious residence for that time, which, when completed, was known as the Mansion House. Luther Trumble, Jr., built the fulling- mill at the Willows, and several other buildings for public and private use, prior to 1825, and the little village of " Groton Hollow" had then started on in the full tide of its prosperity. No important or notorions events have oe- curred here. It has produced no mortal of transcendent genius, but has steadily and honestly kept on in the even tenor of its way. In the spring of 1860 measures were taken for its incorporation. A petition signed by prominent citizens residing within the territory proposed to be ineor- porated was presented to Hon. Henry S. Walbridge, judge of the county of Tompkins, June 11, 1860. HIe granted
