BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.


CAPTAIN ASA COE,


of Montour, was the son of Asa Coe, who was born in Connecticut, and emigrated to the town of Catharine prior to the year 1800. In September, 1805, he was accidentally killed while assisting in sinking a well in what is now the town of Veteran. The subject of this sketch was born in the old town of Catharine (now Veteran), Jan. 25, 1806. At the age of two years he went to live with Jesse Lyon, and remained a member of that gentleman's family until he attained his majority, when he commenced life for himself. On New Year's day, in 1829, he united in marriage with Miss Grace Hitchcock, daughter of Jonathan Hitchcock, one of the pioneers of Catharine. He had the misfortune to lose his wife, who was an excellent woman in every par- ticular, March 23, 1842. On the 14th of July of the same year he married Miss Catharine Westlake, daughter of Samuel D. Westlake, of Horseheads. She died May 14, 1876. Acting on the Scriptural injunction, " It is not good for man to be alone," he married again on the 11th of July, 1877, to his present wife, Arminta Westlake, a sister of his second wife.


On the 2d of June, 1832, Mr. Coe was commissioned first lieutenant in the 217th Regiment of Infantry, in the militia of the State of New York, and on the 29th of August, 1833, was promoted to eaptain. His resignation bears date Sept. 7, 1835, and is signed by Jonathan P.


Couch, Brigadier-General, 15th Brigade, 20th Division, New York Infantry.


Mr. Coe is pre-eminently a self-made man. Brought up amid the hardships of pioneer life, he at an early age ac- quired those habits of industry and self-reliance that have been so material in his subsequent suceess. He never en- joyed many educational advantages, only receiving such learning as a few winters in the district school afforded, but by self-study and close observation, added to natural intelli- genee, he has beeome a man generally well posted. He has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for fifty-three years, during nearly the whole of which time he has held some office in the church government. He is at present a elass-leader, and has held that position many years. He was assessor of his town several terms, and in 1876 was elceted to the office of justice of the peace for four years, and re-elected in 1876, which office he still oe- cupies. He raised three children out of a family of four, all by his first wife. His son, Loren L., resides near the old homestead. He married Miss Ellen Nevins, daughter of Rev. John W. Nevins, Oct. 10, 1855. Letitia P. Coe married James E. Beardsley, son of Lewis Beardsley, Sept. 20, 1857. Emily G. married Horace A. Beardsley, son of Levi Beardsley, Dee. 23, 1865.


Mr. Coe is a man very much respected for his general worth. He is one of the pioneers of the old town of Catha- rine, and as such his portrait, together with an illustration of his beautiful home, adorns our pages elsewhere in this volume.


CHAPTER LXXXIX.


THE VILLAGE OF HAVANA.


"Surrounding hills this peaceful place inclose, And form a scene of sheltered sweet repose." -- WILSON.


AROUND Havana cluster some of the most important and interesting historie events that have transpired within the limits of the four counties, the history of which com- prises the scope of this volume. In the immediate vicinity of the corporate boundaries of Havana were enaeted some of those thrilling seenes that collectively conspired to make the narrative of Sullivan's campaign one of intense and pe- culiar interest. Though a general outline of Indian his- tory is given elsewhere in this work, yet no history of Ha- vana would be complete without a brief résumé of the trans- actions connected with the destruction of the village of the Senecas, the familiar Catharine's Town of old. History proclaims it the former home of Catharine Montour, the renowned chieftess of the tribe, whose nod was the law of her empire, and whose word was the oracle of her people. Of French and Indian extraction, she combined the natural finesse of the former race with the subtlety and ferocity of the latter. These traits of character, coupled with a hand- some person and a polite address, made her an object of in- terest second to no individual of her time in all these re- gions. She was born in Canada, her father having been one of the French governors, probably Frontenac, and her


644


HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,


mother an Indian. During the wars between the Six Na- tions and the French, Catharine was taken prisoner, carried to the Seneca country, and adopted and reared as one of the children of the tribe. When arrived at a suitable age she was given in marriage to a great chief, whose Franco- Indian name was Montour. He was a distinguished war- rior, and by bravery and courage made himself conspicuous in the wars of the Six Nations against the Catawbas, the latter a powerful nation, which then occupied the soil in the southwest part of Virginia. She had several children by this chief, who fell in battle about the year 1730. To the memory of Captain Montour, one of her sons, tradition assigns the erection of the famous " Painted Post," at the confluence of the Tioga (Chemung) and Conhocton Rivers. She is said to have been a handsome woman when young, genteel in her manners, notwithstanding her Indian associ- ations. She was accustomed to accompany the chiefs of the tribe to Philadelphia and other places where treaties were made, and from her character and manners was much caressed by American ladies. She was commonly called "Queen Catharine." From the English Colonial govern- ment she received a small pension for many years, on ac- count of her great influence with the Indians.


The expedition of General Sullivan, in 1779, passed through this county on its mission of vengeance, after the battle of Newtown, so fatal to the Indians. He was act- ing under orders from the War Department to destroy all the villages and improvements of the Indians, so that not a vestige of their prosperity remained. This was in righteous retaliation for the barbarous massacre of Wyoming, on the awful 3d of July, 1778. As showing how well he exe- cuted his orders, as regards Catharine's Town, we quote from one who evidently sympathized with the Indians, or at least whose humane feelings forgot the deeds that led to their fearful punishment :


"Ah! melancholy scene, though once so dear To the poor Indian haply wandering here, Whose eye, forlorn, amid the gushing flood Bcholds the spot where onec his wigwam stood; Where warriors' huts in smoky pride were seen- His nation's residenee ! his native green ! Methinks, e'en now, where yon red maples play, The black-haired wand'rer slowly wends his way, And, pensive, stops and heaves a stifled sigh, As well-known objeets meet his rueful eye. No words escape him ; but, while memory grieves, These gloomy thoughts his burdened heart relieves. Oh, happy days ! forever, ever gone, When these deep woods to white men were unknown ! Then the Great Spirit gave us from on high A plain, broad path, and an unelouded sky : Then herds of deer in every thieket lay ; Peace blest our nights, and plenty erowned our day. But now dark clouds around our nation roar ; The path is lost ; we see the sun no more ; A poor, lone wanderer here unhappy raves, Returned onee more to see his fathers' graves, Where all he sees bereaves his heart of rest, And sinks like poisoned arrows in his breast."#
