BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

REUBEN M. MUNDY,

a veteran of the war of 1812, was a native of the State of New Jersey, born near the city of New Brunswick. Feb. 28, 1793. He was married on the 4th day of November, 1818, to Hannah Mundy, of Barton, Tioga Co., N. Y., who was born there May 17, 1793. The following are the names and dates of birth of the children of Reuben M. and Hannah Mundy: Nicholas S., born at Benton, Dee. 26, 1819; Catharine, born at Big Flats, Aug. 13, 1821; Si- meon Lafayette, born at Big Flats, Feb. 10, 1825; Mary Louisa, born at Big Flats, Aug. 3, 1829. All are now

living except Simeon L., who died by casualty, Dec. 18, 1853.

Reuben M. Mundy moved into the town of Big Flats in or about the year 1820, and settled upon a farm of two hundred and twenty-five acres, which he purchased of Jona- than Roberts on the 14th day of June, 1820. This farm is now owned by Nicholas S., and to it have been added nearly three hundred acres, making it perhaps the most valuable, as it is one of the most productive, farms in the county.

Reuben M. Mundy was a most successful farmer. To the business of agriculture he devoted all his energies, and was repaid with prosperity and wealth. In his tastes and habits he was more intent upon attaining celebrity as a good farmer than honors as a politieian, although very de- cided in his political opinions, which were those of an old- line Whig. Later in life, on the formation of the Repub- lican party, he acted with the Democrats. He was re- markable for decision of character, and by integrity, char- itableness, and fair dealing he held a high place in the cs- timation of all who knew him. He died at Big Flats, Jan. 23, 1862, and Mrs. Mundy at Big Flats, April 26, 1868.

Nicholas S. Mundy lives on the homestead farm, and cultivates this with its added acres. Like his father, he is proud to be a successful tiller of the soil, which yearly yields him ample returns, enabling him to render aid to many who are the objects of his bounty and munificence. For the past twenty-five years he has made a specialty of the culture of tobacco, being among the first to embark in that line of production in the valley. He has devoted a large acreage to this special product, averaging about twenty acres per annum, and in the year 1870 had some forty-two acres under eultivation, for the curing of which he has a large number of houses, which are superior both in durability and neatness of finish. Mr. Mundy is active and enter- prising, and gives promise of many years of usefulness.

The sisters of Mr. Mundy are Catherine, the wife of Alfred Hughson. of Big Flats, and Mary Louisa, the wife of George H. Owen, of Elmira.

CHAPTER LI.

CATLIN.

THIS town is formed from territory embraced in the Watkins and Flint purchase. Prior to this purchase, Prc- served Coolcy received, March 23, 1791, a certificate of location of twenty-two and a half acres in the northeast part of the town, and John Nicholson one of seven hundred acres, lying on the road leading from Newtown to the head of Seneca Lake (this tract now being in the towns of Vet- eran and Catlin). It lies in the northwest corner of the eounty, and borders on Steuben and Sehuyler Counties. The surface is hilly uplands, the highest being from two hundred to four hundred feet above the valleys. The soil is well adapted for grazing. The principal streams are Port Creek, Sing Sing Creek, and Hubbard's Run. It contains an area of 23,044 acres, of which 15,609 are improved, and has a population of 1423, according to the eensus of 1875.

EARLY SETTLEMENTS.

The eighteenth century had passed away, the troubles with the Indians had ceased, the relations between this and the mother-country had become friendly, the cabins of the pioneers dotted the hill-sides and valleys in many portions of this State as they followed up the rivers and settled upon them, difficulties had again arisen with England which cul- minated in the war of 1812, and were again satisfactorily arranged, before the woodinan's axe had disturbed the un- broken forest, or the rude log cabin of the pioneers had been erected within the limits of this town.

John Martin was a captain in the war of 1812, and served through that struggle, and lived afterwards in what is now Ithaca, until about 1816, when, with his family, consisting of his wife and child, he came into this town and settled on what is known as Martin's Hill, in the southwest corner of the town, where William Masters now lives. He was an energetic man and rapidly eleared a tract of land, erected a log house, and commenced improvements incident to a new country, but in 1828 he sold his property to Charles King and removed to Michigan.

Aaron Davenport came in from New Jersey about 1818, and settled on land adjoining Martin, where George West- lake lives. He remained until 1830, when he removed to the West. Benjamin Cure came in soon after Davenport, and settled north of Martin, where William Edminster owns, and in 1833 sold to Abel Bulkley and removed to Potter Co., Pa. Erastus Beard, with several sons, Horace Tupper, Edward Beebe, and Darius Wood, settled near here in 1820. Horace Tupper settled where William J. Carter now owns, Edward Beebe where Jacob Gould lives. About this same time, Andrew Phineas came in from Canada, and William Rowley, and settled down in the valley of Port Creek ; Phineas where Robert T. Bueher lives, and Rowley where George Ide resides. Abel N. Sweet and Dennison Herrick, in 1821, came in from Connecticut. Sweet settled where his son Dennis was born and still lives.

James J. Smith settled in 1823, upon the farm where his sons Philip and Sanford reside. Peter, an older brother, now the oldest settler living in the town, resides at Port Creek. In 1824, Jacob Bueher came in with his family, consisting of his wife and several children (three of his sons are still living at Port Creek), and settled on Port Creek where Samuel Bucher, his son, owns.

William Haines settled about the same time, farther up on Port Creek, and afterwards sold to Thomas Kniffin, and where the heirs of Ira Cole now reside. Benjamin Lewis, Uzal Dickerson, John P. Cornell settled about 1823. Peter Ostrander came from Ithaca and settled on what is known as Reaser's Hill in 1825, and returned there, but finally settled at Port Creek about 1830. James Wheeler in 1825 settled where Peter Ostrander now lives.

Orange Hubbell built the first house, north of James I. Smith, where John Kimball lives, near Catlin Centre, on the middle road. About 1828, Ebenczer Close, - Lo- cey, Elder Thomas Sheardown, Alanson Owen, Jeduthan King, - Gregg (who soon sold to John Woolsey), Da- vid Clemens, and others came in from the north and settled on the middle road. In 1828, David Johnson came in

JOHN KIMBLE.

John Kimble was born in Sussex Co., N. J., May 23, 1789, and is consequently now in his ninetieth year. He is the son of Peter and Evc (Kouse) Kimble, who were among the old settlers of his native county. He received what little education he had time to acquire in the public schools of Sussex Co., N. J., and has followed agricultural pursuits as a vocation the greater part of his life.

On the 6th of March, 1816, he united in marriage with Lydia Scott, daughter of Joseph Scott, who was born at Muncy, Pa., on the 16th of March, 1793. She died on the 19th of June, 1839. They had a family of nine children, the names of whom, and the dates of whose births, are as follows: Peter, born March 5, 1817; married Mary Davis. Eve, born Nov. 5, 1818; died March 30, 1841. Henry S., born Dec. 29, 1820; married Lucetta Stine. Deborah, born June 10, 1822; married Phineas Cat- lin, of Odessa. Joseph, born June 24, 1825; mar- ried Sarah Austin. George, born Dec. 24, 1826; married Mrs. Martha Ray. William, born May 27, 1829; died Feb. 23, 1856. Jemima, born Sept. 25, 1832; married James Backer. John, born Aug. 29, 1837; died March 31, 1841.

Between two and three years after the death of his first wife, Mr. Kimble married again, August 15, 1841, choosing as his second wife Mrs. Martha Truesdell, by whom he had two children, namely: James D., born February 15, 1847; married Lizzie Lane. Charles A., born October 8, 1850; died May 13, 1862.

Mr. Kimble removed to the town of Catlin in 1844, and has since resided there. He has reached the good old age of eighty-nine years, and is still hale and hearty, which is owing to the regularity of his habits, and a temperate and industrious life. He has been an enterprising farmer for many years, and has lived an honest and upright life. His friends and neighbors regard him as a man of irreproach- able reputation, whose life has been as nearly blame- less as it is possible for erring humanity to be. In politics Mr. Kimble is a Republican; in religious belief he is liberal.

The portrait which accompanies this brief sketch of his life has been inserted by his daughter, Mrs. Phineas Catlin, as a token of filial regard, and as a deserving representation of a worthy man on the pages of local history.

ELSenBrook

JOHN TEN BROOK was born in Somerset Co., N. J., Aug. 5, 1767. His father and grandfather, both of the same name, were born re- spectively Dee. 21, 1738, and Dec. 9, 1715. The latter died at the age of twenty-three years, three months before the birth of his only child. The ancestry has been traced no farther back on the father's side. The mother of John Ten Brook, of Elmira, Charity Van Neste by name, was directly descended from Sarah Rappelye, the first whito child born in what is now New York City, whose birth took place July 7, 1625, when the little colony was in peril of starvation. The gov- ernor called at the house the day after the birth of this child, and inquired of the mother if they had any bread ; she replied that they had none ; he, unwilling to accept the answer, searched the house, and found one Indian dumpling, which he divided, taking one-half and leaving the other. On the next day a cargo of provisions arrived, and the governor sent to the Rappelyes a measure of flour. John Ten Brook's father was colonel of a New Jersey regiment of militia in the Revolution; his regiment was called out, and the son could remember to have gone to the camp with supplies for his father. When the war was over the fathor sold his farm for $9000, and from the patriotic conviction that the government would not allow tho holders of its paper to suffer, took the whole sum in Continental money. This was soon worthless. The family removed to the west branch of the Susquehanna, in the State of Pennsylvania, where the subject of this sketch was married, in 1793, to Allie Low, also of New Jersey birth and Holland descent, and settled on wild land one and a half miles northwest of Horseheads, which property he still owned at the time of his death, in 1843. He died while on a visit to Lenawee Co., Mich., and was buried there. His wife dicd in 1832, and was buried at the Marsh meeting-house. Both were members of the church assembling there, and the husband one of its deacons. He was long clerk of the Baptist Church first formed in 1796 at Chemung, and was for about fifteen years one of the overseers of the poor of the town of Elmira. Of this marriage were:

1. Anna, born in 1794; married to Jolin Mead, farmer, about 1816; removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., about 1833, where both died, leaving children and grandchildren. Both wero members of the Baptist Church.

Mr. Fisk was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was severely wounded at the sortie at Fort Erie by a ball passing between the neckbone and windpipo, for which he always received a pension. They removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., about 1833. They raised a family of thirteon children. Both are dead.

4. William, born in 1800, farmer ; married to Nancy Miller in 1828 ; removed to Lenawce Co., Mich., in 1832; has been several times supervisor and justice of the peaco; has long boen a deacon of the Baptist Church, and still survives.

5. Garret, born in 1803 : married about 1825 to Hannah Gannon; removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., in 1831, with the first company that went from the neighborhood, and which was nearly two months in reaching their destination. He served as justice of the peace of his township, being the same which contained a part of the village and

now city of Adrian. He went to Mississippi in the war of the Re- bellion to aid an adopted son, for which he was too late ; his own sys- tem became charged with malaria. He died in 1868, and his wife survived him but a week. Both were members of the Baptist Church. They left a considerable family.

6. John, born in 1805, farmer ; married to Jane Abison about 1836 ; removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., about 1845, where he died about 1864, leaving his wife and four children, one having died about the same time with himself. The eldest son, William, served in the late eivil war, in which he reached the rank of captain; was wounded at the battle of the Wilderness, but on recovery returned to duty. John Ten Brook was a member of the Baptist Church, and his widow is now a member.

7. Allie, born in 1807; married to George Livesay, farmer, in 1826; removed to Lenawee Co., Mich., in 1831, where she died about 1867, leaving her husband and a large family. Both were members of the Baptist Church.

8. Margaret, born in 1809; married in 1840 to Alexander Brooks, of Factoryville, Tioga Co., N. Y., as his second wife. Her husband died in 1875. She survives, and is a member of the Baptist Church in Waverly. Has no children of her own.

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

from Crawford's Settlement and settled in Johnson Hollow, and built a frame house.

In 1831, Jonathan Woodruff settled, selling the next year to Matthias Backer, where his son Henry Backer now lives.

INITIAL EVENTS.

The first log house was ereeted by John Master, in 1816. In 1820 the first log school-house was built, on Martin's Hill, near where Jacob Gould lives, and the first teacher was Eunice Bartram. Horace Tupper, about 1826, built a furnace in the woods on his farm, James I. Smith building a charcoal pit to supply it with fuel. The first road was laid out in 1823, and was between the settlement at Port Creek and Martin's Hill, and is yet open, but little used. An ashery was built by a Mr. Tallmadge in 1826, on the farm now owned by Michael Smith.

The first town-meeting was held at the house of Uzal Dickerson, May 13, 1823, and Horace Tupper was the first supervisor, and George Lewis was the first town clerk.

The first marriage was Benjamin Cure, Jr., to Miss Doty, in 1826.

The first cemetery was on Horace Tupper's farm, and he was the first one buried there, in 1827.

Jacob Bucher built the first tavern, in 1825, and kept it for many years. The first saw-mill was erected on Port Creek in 1827, by James Wheeler, near and above where the grist-mill of William G. Northrup now stands. John Ostrander built the first grist-mill, and it is still standing, and owned by William G. Northrup. The frame for a grist-mill had been put up earlier by Stephen B. Munn, but never completed.

John Ostrander built the first blacksmith-shop, in 1837, for Jacob Harman, who was the first blacksmith at Port Creek.

There are no churches in the town. Several of the members of the Baptist Church of Big Flats, living at this place, petitioned that church to be set off as a branch, which was granted about 1835 or 1836, having about 30 members, being supplied with ministers from other places, and holding serviecs in school-houses. The Methodists have four elasses, containing about 100 members, at Tomp- kins Corners, Catlin Centre, Port Creek, and East Creek.

CEMETERIES.

The first cemetery was on Martin's Hill, and the largest one is at Port Creek, the land for which was given by Ste- phen B. Munn for cemetery and school purposes. There are one or two others in the town, near the more thiekly- settled portions of the town.

PORT CREEK

is the largest settlement, and lics a little north of the eentre of the west line of the town and the county, and is in the valley of Port Creek, and contains two hotels, post-office, school-house, grist-mill, blacksmith-shop, grocery, and depot, and is a station on the Corning and Geneva Railroad.

TOMPKINS CORNERS, OR CATLIN,

is a small hamlet on the south line of the town, about three miles from the cast line ; contains a post-office, school-house, grocery, blacksmith-shop, and eradle-factory.

The mills in town are as follows : A steam saw-mill at Catlin Centre, a saw-mill on Sing Sing Creek, and a grist- mill on Port Creek.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Corning and Geneva Railroad was commeneed in 1876, and completed in 1877, and runs through a portion of this town, and near the west line, and has a station on Port Creek.

CIVIL HISTORY.

This town was formed from Catharine, April 16, 1823. The first town-meeting was held at the house of Uzal Dick- erson, May 13, 1823, and elected Horace Tupper super- visor, and George Lewis town clerk.
