AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

MINOR T. BRODRICK.

This gentleman has for a long period oeeupied a promi- nent position among the business men of Sehuyler County, having been intimately associated with, and one of the founders and builders of, that material prosperity which has placed the village of IIavana, as a social and business community, among the first of the State. Mr. Brodrick's grandfather, Captain James Brodrick, of the Continental army, first came through this seetion with the forees of General Sullivan ; his son, Anthony Brodrick, the father of Minor T., first located in what was then known as the town of Chemung, Montgomery Co., now town of Montour, Sehuyler Co., in 1789. In 1792 he opened and, during that and the sueeceding year, conducted the first school taught in that locality.

Minor T. Brodriek was born Dee. 9, 1812, in the town of Catharine, now Montour, county of Tioga (now Sehuyler), and while yet but a boy was thrown upon his own resources, and became in stern faet the architect of his own fortune. In 1828, Mr. Brodrick became a resident of the village of Havana, and in 1837 embarked in general mereantile busi- ness under the firm-name of Brodrick, Campbell & Co. (M. T. Brodrick, A, G. Campbell, and Charles Cook). It was during this year that he married Miss Luey Colegrove, who still lives, the sharer of his fortunes. At the end of three years, Mr. Cook retiring, the firm continued as Brodrick & Campbell to 1851; then until 1857 his mercantile business was under the style of Brodriek & Van Deuzen. Mean- while, in 1854, he purchased the Havana Mills property, and in 1856 built on their site one of the largest and most complete flouring, eustom, and plaster mills in the section. During this time, until within the past few years, Mr. Brodrick has always been active in the market as a buyer of lumber, grain, and general produce; was one of the managers of the New York and Chemung Canal line, run- ning from New York to Ehuira; the pioneer of the subse- quent eanal and railway systems of internal improvement ; and continually from 1848 has been a magistrate of his town, which he has also represented in the Board of Supervisors, besides filling many other positions of trust, and particu- larly of late years has been executor or administrator of many and large estates. In addition to his business in this State, Mr. Brodrick has considerable business interests in the Eastern or Albemarle section of North Carolina, now managed by his two youngest sons, George E. and William) P. Brodrick.

CHAPTER XC. ORANGE.

THIS is the southwest corner town of Schnyler County, and contains an area of 32,650 acres, of which 24,113 acres are improved. According to the census report of 1875 the town had a total population of 1942 inhabitants, of whom 1827 were natives, and 115 foreign-born ; 1931 white, 11 colored ; 979 male, 963 females ; aliens 6; males of voting age 564, of whom 504 were natives, 56 naturalized, aliens 4 ; number of males of military age, 352; number of per-

sons of school age, 262 males, 240 females; number of land-owners, 443; persons 21 years of age and upwards unable to read and write, 25.

Its surface is a rolling, hilly upland, broken by the deep and irregular valleys of the streams. Mead's Creek, flow- ing southwest through the central part, is the principal water-course. The soil is of a medium quality of gravelly loam, apparently better adapted to grazing than the produc- tion of cereals. Blackberry briers, stumps, and stump- fenees abound.

The people are principally engaged in agricultural avo- eations, though but a score or two of years have passed since every other man was a " shingle weaver." They are also noted for their readiness in supporting gentlemen of the legal profession.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

To Henry Switzer, and his sons, Henry, Jr., John, Wil- liam, Jacob, and Peter, and his sons-in-law, Abram Bosom- barack, Samuel Skoup, and Franeis Yager, belongs the honor of being the first settlers in that part of Wayne now known as Orange township. They were all Germans, or of German parentage, came in from Huntingdon Co., N. J., in 1802, and settled in the locality now known as " Switzer Hill."

Henry Switzer, Jr., and Francis Yager were both mar- ried when they came here. Other daughters of Henry Switzer, Sr., were married afterwards, and were known as Mrs. Anna Bosombarack, Mrs. Katy King, Mrs. Susan Skomp, and Mrs. Abram Fleet. The sons, Henry, John, and William, were soldiers in the war of 1812. Henry held a commission in the army, and was a prominent citi- zen and politieian during his lifetime. He represented Steuben County, in the State Legislature, in 1836. The Switzers are well represented in this part of the town at the present time.

At the time they settled here, Frederick Bartles (also a German, from Huntingdon County, New Jersey) was the only resident in this section. He had established hint- self at the foot of Lake Lamoka (now Bradford, Steuben Co.), and built a grist-mill at a very early day,-prob- ably the first on; in this valley. The Switzers were shel- tered beneath his roof until they could build houses of their own. Many amusing reminiscences are related of old Mr. Bartles by the venerable Simon Fleet, of Tyrone. Especially was he aroused when called upon to express him- self in regard to the "leetle dundershot wheel" of his rival in business,-the grist-mill started at Tyrone by the agent of the Poultney Tract.

Soon after 1810, William, Abram, and Isaae De Witt, Asa Nash, Thomas Hurd, Chapman and Jedediah Miller settled on and in the vicinity of Monterey village. Mr. Nash was the father of Alvah Nash, Esq., who in after- years became so well known in Watkins and Havana. Mr. Hurd located upon the premises so long occupied afterwards by his son, Abram B. Upon the Hurd place was affixed the first sign of "eutertainment" in all this region.

From 1811 the influx of actual settlers was very rapid. The fertility of the soil, and the proximity to Seneca Lake,

-their prospective market,-together with the easy man- ner of obtaining land at the land-office in Bath, all eon- tributed to this result. Daniel Curtis, from Steuben County, settled in the valley in 1812. Mrs. Wm. C. Gray, a granddaughter, now resides on the homestead. He died 1854, aged ninety years. Andrew Fort and Wil- liam Wilkins also settled here about this time. In 1814 the settlement had so inereased in the valley that the name it bore down at the mouth (Mead's Creek) was transferred to the uorthern extremity. This valley is about twelve miles in length, and extends from the southern slope of Sugar Hill to Cooper's Plains in Steuben County. It is pleasant and fertile, and from Monterey out towards the southwest it has one of the finest avenues in Schuyler County.

About the year 1817, Ebenezer Bnck, Obediah Phin- ney, and Thomas L. Nichols settled in the neighborhood now known as " Buek's Settlement." Two or three years later Wm. Webb, Dr. Silas B. Hebard, Abraham L. Ly- bolt, and Henry Triphagan settled a little farther west, on what was ealled at that early day Sugar Hill .* Phineas Young, a brother of Brigham Young, worked for Dr. Hebard the first season after the doctor moved into the woods, and a portion of the Young family lived for a time upon the premises sinee so long occupied by " Uncle Dan" Hughey. Brigham Young, though never an actual resi- dent, frequently visited his brother's family, and held re- ligious meetings in the neighborhood. In the beginning of his evangelical labors, Brigham ealled himself a Re- formed Methodist. This was an eeeentrie and enthusiastie seet, who relied upon excitement and violent demonstra- tions rather than sober reflection and a quiet contemplation of their duties to the Creator. Brigham remained with the Reformers but a short time, however, as he was one of the first to espouse the Mormon faith.

Jacob Fenner and two brothers by the name of Miller eame to Sugar Hill before Mr. Webb or Dr. Hebard, but they soon left, and none of their posterity are now residing in that part of Orange.

Mr. Triphagan, whose house was about three-quarters of a mile west of the present Sugar Hill Church, soon opened a tavern, and during several years the elections and town- meetings of Jersey, and afterwards of Orange, were often held at his house. Dr. Hebard, who eame here from Mas- sachusetts, was for several years the only regularly educated physician in all this section of the country. Ilis " ride" extended from Wayne Hotel and Reading Centre, on the north, to Hornby Forks and the locality now known as South Bradford, on the south. There was no physician at Townsend, Monterey, Beaver Dams, or Reading.

These families above referred to as settling here sinee 1817, have numerous descendants residing in the regiou settled by their aneestors. David Webb, of Orange, Bar-

ney Webb, of Reading, and J. B. Webb, of Dix, are sons of William Webb. Harvey Nichols, of Orange, and Wil- liam M. Nichols, of Bath, are the only sons of Thomas L. Nichols, now residing in this section. Mrs. Wm. Phinney, of Reading, is the only daughter of Thomas L. Nichols. Daniel and John W. Buck, of Dix, and Win. C. Buck, of Orange, are sons of Ebenezer Buck. Of the sons of Abra- ham L. Lybolt, Frank C. lives upon the homestead, Nelson lives upon Mead's Hill, in the town of Dix, and Henry in the eity of Elmira.

In 1821, Joshua Chamberlain came into the town. This Was a great acquisition to the place, as he had means, and, what was more attractive still, three charming daughters. He bought the place then occupied by " Uncle Billy De Witt," now the site of Monterey village, and there he lived till 1845. Always opposing change, or nearer neighbors, he so far yielded to his avariee, however, as to keep an old log tavern, where

And also plenty of Zimmerman's best,"

at three eents a glass. But, if all reports are true, there were many worse men than " Uncle Josh."

The same year John Dyer and his sons, Thomas, George, and daughters, Mary, Hannah, Sally, and Amanda, settled in Mead's Creek Valley, on the premises now owned by Linus Putnam. They were originally from Bristol, Rhode Island, and before settling here had lived in Massachusetts and Madison Co., N. Y. Of his family now living, Thomas, the eldest son, Mrs. Sally Merrils, and Mrs. Amanda Nute are residents of Steuben County, while Mrs. Mary Chris- john resides in Orange. John Dyer lived to be ninety- four years of age. During the war of 1812 he was one of the volunteers who defended New Bedford against the British.

In 1823, " Walter" Hurd opened a small store near the Hurd Tavern, principally to gather in and buy the ashes, which were used iu making potash. This was the first store in town. Soon after this a post-office was established, called " Mead's Creek," and David Kimball, Esq., was ap- pointed postmaster. Squire Kimball was a worthy man, but not being in fellowship with the Jackson men of those days, such as Magee, Switzer, and Dickinson, he soon after had to give up the office to another. He built the first good framed house in Monterey, but died shortly afterwards, while yet in the full vigor of early manhood and useful- ness.

In the fall of 1827, Sylvenus Arnold, of Tyrone village, established a branch store in a log house, and A. Gaylord was employed to sell the same. This was the first stoek of goods offered to the public upon the site of Monterey. The place was called "Gaylord's" at that time.

About this time a family by the name of Webber eaule in from Vermont, and settled along the ereek. This family, though humble and poor in the beginning, has, by indus- try and perseveranee, made itself felt and well known throughout the country. There were six sons. One of them -Lorenzo Webber-represented his eounty (Sehuyler) in the State Legislature in 1864 and 1865, and is the pos- sessor of great wealth. Others of the brothers are well- known business and financial men in the State of Michigan.

# Sugar Hill is not an elevation of any importance, but received its name from the following circumstance. In this place were originally fine groves of maples. The early settlers in the adjoining neighbor- hoods discovered them, and also that no settlers were living here upon the land. For several years they resorted here in the spring- time, and would manufacture a supply of maple-sugar sufficient to last them through the year. Henee the name Sugar Hill.

INITIAL EVENTS.

Henry Switzer and his sons built the first house and opened the first farm, in 1802. Chauncey Hewitt built the first framed barn, in 1823. Joshua Chamberlain built the first framed house, in 1824. It is now known as the old Gaylord house, and stands opposite Maltby's, in Mon- terey. We believe that William Conlogue built the first saw-mill and grist-mill. Albert Duval now owns the prem- ises where they were situated. Thomas Hurd opened the first tavern, about 1818. Walter Hurd kept the first store, near the Hurd tavern, in 1823. The post-office at Mon- terey was established as the " Mead's Creek Post-Office," in 1823 or 1824; David Kimball was the first postmaster. Daniel McDougall taught the first school, near Monterey, in 1818. The first framed school-house was built in 1825. It was used also as the church for all denominations, and stood near the Goodrich tannery, one mile east of Monterey. The Presbyterians organized the first religious society, in 1824. The Methodists erected the first church edifice, about 1830. Rev. Joseph Crawford (Presbyterian) was the first preacher. Peregrine Hollett, a local preacher, was the first among the Methodists. Abram Bosombarack and Samuel Skomp, who married daughters of Henry Switzer, Sr., were the first people married here; and their children-John Bosombarack and Henry Skomp-were the first children born in the town. Dr. Silas B. Hebard, of Massachusetts, was the first resident physician, about 1820.

CIVIL HISTORY.

Orange* was formed from Jersey, April 20, 1836. A part of Hornby (Steuben Co.) was annexed, April 11, 1842, and a part of Bradford (Steuben Co.), April 17, 1854. It derives its name from Orange County, of this State, many people from that locality having settled here at an early day.

Special Town- Meeting, 1836 .- " In conformity with the aet of April 20, 1836, a special town-meeting was held at the house of Alonzo Gaylord, in the town of Orange, on the 17th day of May, 1836, when the following town officers were elected to fill vacancies : Stephen Northrop, Town Clerk ; John Allen, Ira Nash, Justices of the Peace; Chauncey Hewett, Andrew Webber, Assessors ; Joel Hathaway, Over-

# The New York Civil List states that Orange was formed from Wayne, as " Jersey," Feb. 12, 1813. In the town records we find the following entry on the first pages of the book wherein are recorded the proceedings of town-meetings, etc. : "An Aet, entitled an aet to divide the town of Jersey, in the county of Steuben, and to alter the name of said town of Jersey, passed April 20, 1836. The people of the State of New York, etc., ete., do enact as follows: Ist. From and after the passage of this act, all that part of the town of Jersey, in the county of Steuben, included in the following boundaries, to wit (then follows the description of the lines) : shall be and the same is hereby ereeted into a new town by the name of BRADFORD, and the first town-meeting in the said town of Bradford shall be held on the fourth Tuesday of May next, at the house of John Zimmerman, in said town. 2d. All the remaining part of the town of Jersey shall he and remain a separate town by the name of ORANGE; and the next town- meeting shall he held at the house of Alonzo Gaylord, in said town of Orange, on the third Tuesday in May next." There are no records in the town elerk's office of Orange of the old town of Jersey, nor do we think it right to state it that Orange was formed as Jersey in 1813, when we see by the reading of the foregoing act that two new towns, with new names, were formed from an old one in 1836.
