THE SETTLEMENT


of the town, outside of the limits of the present village of Havana, does not antedate the commencement of the pres-


ent century, with but few exceptions, at least. Patient research and diligent inquiry have developed the fact that Phineas Catlin, father of the octogenarian gentleman of the same name, now a resident of Odessa, and grandfather of Henry B. Catlin, Esq., present sheriff of Schuyler County, came in from Litchfield Co., Conn., and settled upon the farm now occupied by John Butler, in 1792-93, while the town yet constituted a part of Catharine and of old Tioga County. At the organization of the town of Catharine, in 1798, Mr. Catlin was elected supervisor, and re-elected for twelve years consecutively thereafter. His sons were Brant, Phineas, and Theodorus, the first and last named of whom are deceased. His daughters are Mary, widow of Judge John Crawford, of Moreland, in the town of Dix, in this county, and Lucy, wife of H. W. Jackson, of Minnesota ; both living.


About contemporary with Mr. Catlin was Anthony Brod- rick, father of Minor T. Brodrick, who came in from New Jersey and settled on the farm now occupied by Solomon Williams. He was the pioneer school-teacher of the orig- inal town of Catharine, and had visited the settlement as early as 1789, but did not permanently locate there until 1791-92. His father, James Brodrick, came through with Sullivan's army in 1779.


Soon after, or about the year 1800, Joseph Frost and his son Joseph, the latter the grandfather of G. J. and La Grand Frost, came in from Connecticut, where Joseph, Sr., had been a Revolutionary soldier. They settled on 280 acres, a part of which is now ineluded in the farm of G. J. Frost, above named. The sons of Joseph Frost, Jr., were Jonathan, Diamond, Joseph, and Colonel Eli C. Frost.


Asa Coe settled in the town in 1806. Two years prior to that date, his father, Asa Coe, was accidentally killed while assisting in sinking a well in what is now the town

of Veteran, where he had settled in the year 1800. Left fatherless, Asa was taken to raise by his unele, Jesse Lyon, then residing at Johnson's Settlement. In 1806, Wm. Lyon moved to the farm where Asa Coe has resided for nearly seventy years. Mr. Coe has been a prominent citizen of his town, having been three times eleeted justice of the peace,-twiee for full terms and one to fill a vaeaney. Mr. Coe's children are a son,-L. L. Coe, who resides op- posite his father,-and two daughters,-Letitia P., wife of Wm. Beardsley, and Emily G., wife of H. A. Beardsley.


About 1805 or 1806, Samuel Bennett settled on the farm now owned by his heirs and occupied by J. Vander- hoff. Mr. Bennett has numerous descendants in the town and county.


In 1811, David Lee, father of John W. Lee, settled in the town, but soon afterwards removed to the present site of Havana, where, in company with Harmon Pumpelly, he laid out that part of the village situated on the west side of the ereek .* In 1813, Israel Lee, father of Deeker Lee, eame in and purchased the farm now owned by the latter, upon which he permanently settled in 1815. Israel Lee was a Revolutionary soldier, who fought at the battle of Monmouth, and was present at the surrender of Corn- wallis.


In 1815, Samuel Nichols arrived and settled in the town. His family have all removed to the West.


Among the oldest settlers in the northern part of the town is William Ayres, who came there in 1815. His father, Henry Ayres, also settled in the town at the same time, coming from Steuben Co., N. Y., where he had settled in 1809. He moved to Cattaraugus Co., N. Y .. in 1830, and after remaining there about two years and losing his wife, he returned to Montour and died there at the age of ninety-four years.


In 1820, Ebenezer B. Crofut came in from Connecticut, and settled on the farm now occupied by his son, Norman Crofut.


Owing to the frequent alterations to which the old town of Catharine has been subjected, it is somewhat difficult to arrange the early settlers with striet adherence to partie- ular localities, or in regular chronological order. There are several now living within the limits of this town who have resided in three or four different towns and almost as many counties, and yet have not changed their original location.


In November, 1824, Thomas L. Fanton, Esq., settled in the present town of Veteran, where he remained until 1827, when he removed to Johnson's Settlement, and re- sided there until 1853, at which time he settled on his present farm in Montour. He is the father of Hull Fan- ton, Esq., of Havana. He is one of the directors of the Havana National Bank; was two terms justice of the peace of his town, and also overseer of the poor.


In 1826, Minor L. Sherwood moved to Veteran, where he remained until 1852, when he purchased the old Bates farm in this town, upon which he then settled, and where he has since resided.


Joseph Brown is an old resident of the town, having lived there nearly half a century on the same farm. Na-


thaniel Thompson has been where he now lives about forty- five years. John C. Larew came from New Jersey about thirty-five years ago. He has one of the finest barns in the county. In 1834, Albert Brown came in from Con- neetieut, and settled on the farm now oeeupied by his widow and their son Henry. Sherman Brown, another son, resides in the town.


George C. Wiekham, great-grandson of William Wick- ham, t who settled in the town of Hector in 1791, purchased the Goodwin farm in this town, in 1853. He established a brickyard there in 1855, and manufactures, on an average, 350,000 brieks per annum. He is also extensively inter- ested in the production of fruits. From this souree alone, in 1869, he realized the handsome sum of $2600.


It appears that quite an influx of settlers came in from the town of Heetor from 1840 to 1860. Among these were Solomon Williams, son of Daniel Williams, who came in 1848. The latter settled in Hector, near Burdette, in 1825.


Jacob Hendricks settled on his present farm, in this town, in 1856; in Hector, in 1842. James P. Sherrer eame into the town about 1845.


Other old settlers and good practical farmers are J. M. Couch, A. M. Freeman, J. Laban, S. W. Saekett, secretary of the "Schuyler County Agricultural Society," and others.


. CIVIL ORGANIZATION.


The first step taken towards the erection of the town of Montour was on the 16th day of January, 1860, by the publication of the requisite legal notice. The bill for the same was introduced into the Senate on the 30th of the same month, and after meeting with considerable opposition, through the influence of those in favor of retaining the preponderance of political power towards Watkins, it was finally passed, receiving the signature of Governor Morgan on the 3d of March following its introduction. It passed the Senate by a vote of twenty yeas to no nays, and the House by seventy-six yeas to twenty-five nays, receiving alike the support of both political parties. The law took effeet Mareh 23, and the first town-meeting was held at the Montour House, May 1, 1860.} The ereetion of this town had a tendeney to retain the county-seat at Havana for seven years longer than eould otherwise have been expected, as it equalized the Board of Supervisors, causing it to stand four in favor of Havana and four in favor of Watkins.


The following is the list of officers in 1860, some of whom were elected prior to the meeting of May 1 of that year, to serve in Catharine, from which town the territory now included in Montour was detached : Supervisor, Charles Cook; Town Clerk, William H. Skellenger; Justices of the Peace, Amos Hoyt, John I. Lawrence, Minor T. Brod- riek, Charles J. Broas ; Assessors, Samuel W. Saekett, Asa Cox, Adam J. Campbell ; Commissioners of Highways, Caleb Hill, Russell W. Lavenworth ; Overseer of the Poor, William MeDonald; Inspectors of Election, Alpheus Keyser, Joseph B. Wilkins, Hiram W. Jackson ; Collcetor, Robert F. Hedges ; Constables, Nathaniel C. Williams, Robert F. Hedges, Henry W. Severn, Chester C. Sheffield.

EDUCATIONAL AND GENERAL.


The cducational facilities of the town, in early times, concentrated at the villages of Havana and Watkins, where schools were established thrce-quarters of a century ago. Those residing in the southwest part of the present town doubtless attended the public school at Johnson's Scttle- ment (Catharine), while those in the extreme south found an excellent school at Groton Corners. About 1820 school districts were formed, and soon thereafter a good school could be found in the old town of Catharine at least every two square miles ; and the hardy children of the pioneers did not mind trudging a mile or a mile and a half to school.


From the annual report of Charles T. Andrews, Esq., the commissioner of public schools for this county, we con- dense the annexed statistics, which convey a good idea of the general progress in matters of education :


State appropriation, $1299.46 ; local fund, $2.53; tax, $1275.02; total, $2585.04. Number of districts, 7 ; chil- dren in districts, 523; number attending schools, 419; weeks taught, 218; volumes in library, 400; value, $65; value of school-houses and sites, $4900.

George @ Wickham


The Wickham family dates its ancestry in America back more than two hundred years, and in what is now the town of Hector, in the year 179I, being the first family to permanently settle in that town. At the head of this family was William Wickham, grandfather to the gentleman whose name and portrait heads this brief memoir. On the 3d of May, 1791, the Wickhams arrived, having left Orange Co., N. Y., in the fall of 1790, and proceeded as far as Tioga Point, now Athens. Here they passed the winter; and in the early spring, load- ing their few effects, together with a harrel of flour, into a boat, worked their way up the Chemung to Newtown ; crossing the divide and tbreading their way through the pine swamp, they re-embarked at Catharine's Town in a eanoe, and paddled down the lake to a point on lot No. 40, which Mr. Wiekham bad hought of his brother, and landed directly below the present residence of his grandson, M. L. Wickham. They were obliged to leave the barrel of flour on the shore of the lake. Climbing the hill, they halted at Sullivan's road and commenced a elearing. A hut was extemporized for a few days, until logs could be prepared for a log house. When the logs were cut Mr. Wickham invited his nearest neighbors, the inhabitants of Catharine's Landing (Havana) and Culver's Town (Watkins), to assist in bringing the logs together and crecting tho house; and, though every able-bodied man in the two villages turned out to the " raising," they were unablo to complote tho joh in one day. It was commencod on Saturday and finished on Sunday. The house, un- douhtedly the first in Hector, stood but a few rods south of tbe present residence of Mr. M. L. Wickham, and fragments of pottery are often turned up by the plow in the vicinity of the site.


The old road from Watkins to Burdett crossed the head of the lake on a bar, which extended from near the 'traditional "elm," diagon- ally to the point at Glen Excelsior. In November, 1799, as Mr. Wickham was crossing this bar in tho evening, his horso missed its footing and precipitated him into the water. He was an excellent swimmer, but in tho darkness was unable to shape his course, and his body was found next day quite a distance up the inlet. A neighbor namod Cartwright Matthews, who died a few years sinco, dug his grave on a beautiful knoll in the denso forest about the middle of his farm. His was the first Christian burial in the town of Hector. It was fitting that he who there first founded a home should also there first find a grave.


The widow was left with six children in the wilderness, and witb scarcely a payment made on the farm. At the time of her husband's death Mrs. Wickham owned a cow. The next spring tho cow was missing, and search being made she was found dead, a large tree having fallen across her. They had a hoifer calf a few days old, which they raised on hay-tea and eggs, and from this, as a beginning, Mrs. Wickham raised cattle which she sent to Orange County, and thus paid for the place, the purchase prico being $1.25 per acre. The first frame house in the town was built by Mrs. Wickham shortly after


her husband's death. It is still standing on lot 40, the east side of tbo road, and is occupied hy Mr. K. Foster.


The old lady was active to the close of a long life, dying in 1824, at the age of eighty-two. In fact, she was engaged in milking when attacked with paralysis, which proved fatal to her. Their ebildren were Samuel, William, Clark, Mary, who married Harry Ely, Pbebe, wife of one Robinson, and Fannie, who married a Stoll. William, Clark, and Mary lived and died near the old homestead, Clark living and dying in the first frame house in Hector. His youngest daughter is the wife of William HI. Wait, the county treasurer. William married Martha Hultz, of Enfield, who was brought to this region by her parents in 1798, being four years of age. She was the mnotber of fourteen children. It is related that she took the thirteenth, when a habe, on horseback, to visit a brother at Ithaca. He met her with the exclamation, "What, another child, Patty !" "O, yes," she replied, "I have just commenced on my second dozen."


Wm. Wickham, Jr., is said to have been the first white man to raise peaches on the Lake Road. He died in 1864, in the eightieth year of his age. His widow followed him twelve years later, dying in April, 1876. She was married at the age of sixteen in the bouse where she died. In her old age she lapsed into second childhood, and in a trunk at the head of ber bed was found $4400 in gold and silver. She had one hundred and two descendants, most of whom are living within ten miles of Watkins.


George C. Wickham was horn in Hector, April 29, 1822. He lived with his father, William Wickham, until he married, which event oc- curred on the 18th of April, 1844, the interested party of the other side being Emeline, daughter of William Lee, a native of Dutchess Co., N. Y., where sbe also was born, Aug. 3, 1827. They had four children, two of whom survive, namely : Myron Preston Wickhaul, born Nov. 3, 1852; married Sarah A. Lce, Aug. 19, 1871; have one daughter. Delphine, born Feb. 14, 1850; married Stephen Burrell, January, 1871 ; have three sons.


Mr. Wickham lived on the old homestead until 1850, when he re- movod to his present location in the town of Montour, about one mile cast of Havana. He erected the fine brick house in which he now resides, and otherwise improved the property, adding largely to the orchards until he now has some fifteen aeres in apple, peach, and plum trees. In 1867 he realized $2600 from the sale of fruit, being the largest incomo from that source ever received by one man, from a single farm, in Schuyler County. In politics Mr. Wickham is a Demo- crat ; in religion, he is liberal, never having united with any religious denomination. In his public life he has exhibited a commendable enterprise and unimpeachable integrity. In his domestic relations be is kind and affectionate, always consulting the best interests of his family, omitting notbing conducive to their enjoyment and happiness. Tbo general summary of bis character can be given in a few words-he is a good citizen and 'an honest man.
