TAVERNS.
Sotue idea of the carly inns or taverns that have existed in Marlborough can be obtained from the records of the town; but the account of these is very meagre. The iol- lowing notes are derived from that source :
March 10, 1795 .- Licensed to keep tavern, David Mer- ritt, Wheeler Case, Samuel Drake, Benjamin Carpenter, Thomas Mott, Christopher Ostrander, Jacob, Powell, Ga- tian Siger. Henry Bush, Daniel Everitt, James Lockwood, Isane Bloomer.
1790 .-- Peter Marhoon, Thomas Mott, Robert Gilmore, Edmond Turner, Jr., Cerstophel Duyo, Carlvian Lieger, Sammel Drake, Heury T. Bush, Jr., Wright Carpenter, Wheeler Case, Iswe Bloomer, Jacob Powell, David Mer- ritt, Isaac Hill, Benjamin Carpenter, Robert Simons, John Benson.
The Exchange Hotel at Marlborough village is the legit- imate descendant of one of the old Revolutionary taverns. Four rooms of the present building were a part of the old structure. Beneath its roof many convivial scenes have been enacted, and doubtless its ancient walls heard many a tale of danger and death connected with the trying events of the period. The names of those who kept the hotel in its carlier days have not come down to us. The "inu of Silas Party" is mentioned in the precinet records in 1776. Perhaps he was one of the proprietors. Samuel II. Knittu has been the proprietor for a score of years.
The Farmers' Hetel, also at Marlborough village, was created by Lewis Mapes about 1827-28. It was kept by

HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Robert Mapes for a long time. Anthony Mackey is the present proprietor.
In the north part of the town Josiah Lockwood had an carly tavern, near where Townsend's store now is, at Milton. Robert S. Lockwood kept it a long while. On the dock, at the same place, Peter Quimby had an carly tavern, and kept it a number of years. Jacob Handley erected the present hotel there about 1560, and it has been kept by different parties since.
An old hotel was built where the Milton House now stands about the year 1821. Robert Brown was the pro- prictor of the house for a long time. Two years ago it was destroyed by fire, and the present house erected on its site. Dubois Depay is the proprietor of the hotel at present.
STORES.
It is altogether probable that trading-places have existedl in town since the first growth of the town. Many of these were of a small character, and not to be compared with the well-stocked and well-regulated stores of the present day.
At Marlborough village, Robert Spouce, William MeE !- rath, and Miles J. Fletcher were the leading and prominent traders for many years. The principal tradesmen now are James Carpenter, Samuel Corwin, John Bodner, and John C. Merritt. A drug-store is kept by Clayton W. Frost, and John Somers is the proprietor of a boot- and shoe-store.
At the village of Milton, William Bolton had one of the first stores. It was kept in the north part of the village, where James Rowley now lives. Josiah Lockwood, David Sowle, and Innis & De Silva were among the early traders in the same locality. Jacob P'. Towusend, Wn .. H. Town- send, David Sands, Ethan Parrott, Jacob Rowley, and James Cook have been later tradesmen. Several of these are still in trade. James Cook has a store on the dock.
PHYSICIANS.
The physicians of the town have been quite numerous. Dr. Abijah Perkins, who died in the town in 1776, was probably its first physician. Dr. Cornelius Roosa died in 1814, and Dr. David Lynch in 1822.
