in 1813, but later moved to Kinney's Corners, originally called Fox's Corners. He had a large family of children : Beecher, Rachel, Sarah, Hison, John, Nancy, Augustine, Mary Ann, Dow F. and Susan; but the name is not now a common one in the town.
John Moore came to the town in 1815, married the daughter of John Beal, and settled about four miles from Kinney's Corners, on Bluff Point. Eight children were born to them, viz .: Mary Ann, Phebe A., Beal, Lydia, Obera, Jane E., Sabra B., and George D.
The family of Benjamin Waite settled on Bluff Point about 1816, and there both he and his wife died. Their children were Polly, Ray, Alfred, Albert, William, Stephen, Eliza, and Mercy.
David Thomas and family were also early on the Point, but afterward moved to Shearman's Hollow. The children of this family were Frank, Eliza, Emily, Mary Ann, Sarah, David and Loring.
Ira Smith was a prominent man in Jerusalem, and reared a some- what prominent family ; but he was not a pioneer, having come to the town in 1834. His children were Morgan, Rosalinda, Mary, Jane M., Eben S., William H., Eleanor and Martha.
Benajah Andruss was the third settler on Bluff Point, coming there with his family in 1813. His wife was Abigail Nash, by whom he had ten children : James, Zabina C., Ora, Jason, Henry G., Rossen, Esther, Nancy, Emily and Almira.
John N. Rose was a Virginian, born in 1789. He was the son of Rob- ert Selden and Jane (Lawson) Rose, and the second of their seven chil- dren. Mr. Rose purchased 1,050 acres of the Beddoe Tract, all that part of it lying east of the west branch of Lake Keuka, and here he made his home. His wife, whom he married in 1829, was Jane E. Macomb, niece of General Macomb, the hero of Plattsburg. Mr. Rose erected the stone mansion in 1838. Henry Rose was a younger brother of John N. Rose, and his wife was Sarah L. Macomb. They were married in 1832, and four years later took up their abode in Jerusalem.
Robert S. Rose was the son of Robert L .. Rose, brother to John N. and Henry. He purchased land in this town from his uncle, amounting to 362 acres of the homestead tract. He married Frances T. Cammann, of New York city, who bore him these children : Oswald J., Cammann, Robert L., Edward N., Frederick D., George S., Catharine N. M., and John Henry.

Solomon D. Weaver was a native of Saratoga County, born in 1797. He came to Penn Yan when a youth and engaged in a mill. Later he became proprietor of several industries. In 1832 he bought a part of the Beddoe Tract and moved to Branchport, where he died. His wife was Elizabeth Gamby, by whom he had five children : Myron H., Llewellyn J., Sherrel S., George S. and Helen E. His wife died in 1862, after which Solomon D. Weaver married Mrs. Julia L. Righter.
Dr. Wynans Bush married Ann Loomis in 1824. In 1832 they moved to Branchport from Ontario County. Their children were Elliot M., Henry M, Irene, Caroline, Ellen, Harlem P., Frances, Robert P., and Julia G.
Peter H. Bitley was one of the most extensive timber and lumber manufacturers that ever came into Yates County. He first operated in Jerusalem as early as 1833, then as an employee, and afterward as pro- prietor. In 1839 he married Mary J. Laird, of Branchport. They had one child, Mary E. Bitley, also one by adoption, Ella Rozelle.
The Green Tract .- On one of the earlier pages of the present chap- ter mention has been made of the fact that there were conveyed off the west side of Jerusalem, extending from the Beddoe Tract north to the north line of the town, three tiers of lots, which, with lot 56 of Guern- sey's survey, were thereafter known as the Green Tract. This tract com- prised over 4,000 acres, and was purchased by Henry and Oren Green for the sum of $12,000. John, Clark and Henry Green, sons of Capt. Henry Green, one of the proprietors, and Ira, son of Hezekiah Green, the latter a brother of Capt. Henry Green, all became settlers on the tract. Clark Green settled on lot 25. Ira Green kept a tavern on lot II. John Green settled south of Ira. Benjamin Stoddard settled on lot 12 of the Green Tract; was a pioneer thereon in 1818. Joseph Wright and his wife Lucy (Woods) Wright, settled on lot 27 of the tract in 1817. In 1818 David Turner, wife and family, formerly of Benton, settled on lot 14. Their children were Reuben, Maria, Hannah, Catharine, Su- san M., Sarah Ann and David H.
In 1826 Jonathan Welden, an early settler on the tract, sold his land on lot 24, to Nathan G. Benedict, who with his family became settlers thereon. In 1832 Rowland Champlin, jr., located on lot 10 of the Green Tract. In 1817 John T. Almy, from Benton, settled on lot 19. The
422

family of Samuel P. Carvey located on lot 18 in 1825. Nathan Harris was the original settler on lot 10, the date being 1819. His wife was Nancy Benton, by whom he had ten children : John B., Henry, Marcia, Otis, Sally, Nathan, Maria, James K., and Charlotte. William Thrall, a captain in the Revolution, was the first settler on lot 7. Silas Cook located on lot 10; Zadoch Bass on 27; Benjamin and William Lafler on lot II ; Joseph Gay on 8.
In the same connection there may also be mentioned the names of other settlers on the same tract, though data concerning some of them are meagre and unreliable. They were Enoch Remington, William Sim- mons, David Conley, Seth Hanchett, John Purdy, William Folsom, Henry Dennis, Ruel Rogers, Horton Rounds, David Page, Lewis Car- vey, Jacob Coddington, Benjamin Washburn, Jacob Youngs, Edmund Robinson, Samuel Weldon, Platt Kinney, John Blakeman, Peter Sim- mons, William Paul, Thomas B. Smith, each of whom was a pioneer of more or less prominence, and each of whom was in some manner iden- tified with the early history of the town, its growth, development and prosperity.
One of the early settlers in the town was Ebenezer Shattuck, who located on lot 56 of the Guernsey survey in 1816. His children were Ebenezer, Sewall, Lucy, Mahala, Hepzibah, Aaron W., George W., Re- becca and Clarissa.
The Beddoe Tract .- As has been narrated in a preceding portion of the present chapter, the district of territory in Jerusalem commonly known as the Beddoe Tract, was so named after its owner and proprie- tor, Capt. John Beddoe. The tract was purchased by him from John Johnson, an Englishman, and was acquired by the latter from James Wadsworth, the grantee of Oliver Phelps. Seven thousand acres was the extent of the tract, and it extended from the west side of the town along its southern border to the lake. Two thousand acres on the lake were taken off, and the remainder was surveyed into 160-acre lots and numbered consecutively from one to thirty-two.
John Beddoe was a Welshman by birth, and came directly to Jerusa- lem from the old country in 1798. He left his family at Geneva and came to the tract with help sufficient to make rapid and substantial prog- ress in clearing and improving the land and providing a place of abode

for himself and his family. The wife of Captain Beddoe was Catharine James, by whom he had three children: John S., Charlotte H. and Lyn- ham J. Capt. John Beddoe died in 1835, his wife in 1815.
Albert R. Cowing is said to have been the first permanent settler on the Beddoe 5,000 acre tract, the date of his location being given as 1825. William Runner moved in during the same year and settled on the south side. John Runner, the father of William, came in 1826. Ezra Loomis moved on the tract in 1826. John Coleman came in from Ben- ton the same year. Henry Nutt also came in 1826, settling on lot 30. Benjamin Rogers, from Seneca, and Morris Ross also settled on the tract in 1826. Meli Todd, from Starkey, who married the daughter of pioneer William Ovenshire, of Barrington, located on the tract in 1830. Rochester Hurd moved from Starkey to Jerusalem in 1826, and settled on Beddoe Tract. James Royce, from the same town, came one year later. Rufus Henderson, also from Starkey, came in 1827. Dexter Lamb came from Wayne in 1826. John Corwin, a pioneer of Starkey, left that town and settled on the tract in 1826, on lot 27.
Peter D. Stever, the ancestor of a numerous family in the town, was one of the prominent, though possibly not early pioneers of the Beddoe Tract, his settlement dating in 1830. Seven years later he married Ann Baker. Their children were Hannah, Ruth, Franklin, Hester, Oscar, David, Cecelia, David, Annette, and Rupert. James Stever, brother to Peter, came in the town in 1832. His wife was Desire Goodsell, by whom these children were born: Leonard, Peter, Elizabeth, George, Joseph and Jennie.
James Taylor and family came to the tract in 1829, and ultimately became owners of the the Beddoe homestead. Among his children were Mary, John, William D., James L., Thomas, Charles, Susanna and Eleanor E.
Among the other early families in the town, who may be mentioned without reference to particular location, was that of Judah Chase, who came to Bluff Point in 1820. Later he moved to the west part of the town and there died. His children were John, William, Judah, Ira, Christopher C., Elias, Levi, Hannah and Jane.
Amos Perry was an early comer to the town. He married here, in 1823, Abigail Clark, by whom he had six children : Samuel, Alma,

Samantha, Mary J., Ezekiel C. and Elizabeth. Wallace, Daniel and Thomas Benedict came to Jerusalem in 1816, and settled on lot 56.
Other than have been mentioned early settlers on Bluff Point were Anthony Rouse, 1813; Timothy Rouse, 1815; Elnathan Finch, 1812; the Dykemans, father and son; Howland Hemphill, Jared and Nathan Herrick, and George Heck.
Sabintown was the name given a settlement made on lot 58, during or about the year 1798. The residents here were Asa and Burtch Sabin, and their nephew, Hiram Sabin, and their families, and from them the locality derived its name. The pioneers of the families died many years ago, and their descendants scattered and settled in other communities, with result in the loss of the name to the town. Among the other early settlers in the vicinity of Sabintown were Gideon Burtch, Braman Burtch and Hezekiah Dayton. Zephenia Briggs was the pioneer set- tler on lot 69, lying next west of 58, and very near the settlement called Sabintown.
Kinney's Corners was so named and called after Giles Kinney, who about 1825 was a tavern-keeper and tradesman at that point, but he was not the founder of the Corners, that honor being due to an older settler, Abraham Fox, for whom the locality was originally called Fox's Corners. Mr. Fox was landlord of the hotel at the Corners, where he dispensed good cheer, but in addition thereto he inaugurated a custom of public exhibitions at the place, such as athletic sports, horse-racing, with an occasional assembling of the local militia in their usual general training. But during later years the Corners has lost much of its former glory, a post-office, with wagon repair shop combined, an old hotel building, and the public pump, with a half dozen dwellings consti- tuting about all there is of the place at the present time.
Branchport .- The pretty, pleasant and healthful little village of Branchport is situated wholly within the limits of the old Beddoe Tract. Directly its location is on elevated ground, within convenient walking distance from the west branch of Lake Keuka. It is distant from the county seat about eight miles, and the journey between these points is made by daily stage and by boat ; by the latter, however, only dur ing the warm months of the year.
Originally, the village was called Esperanza, a Spanish name, signi-

fying hope ; but the staid denizens of the locality considered this cog- nomen rather sentimental or romantic for their quiet ways in life, and as a consequence changed the name to Branchport. In population the village amounts to not exceeding four or five hundred inhabitants, and has not materially increased in numbers or industries during the last score of years. In 1867 the village became incorporated, taking upon itself certain municipal characteristics that its local affairs might be or- dered and governed independent of the township of Jerusalem, of which it forms a part.
The first movement in the direction of establishing this as a trading center and subsequent village was made in 1831, by Judge Samuel S. Ellsworth and Spencer Booth, who erected a store building at the south- east corner of the intersecting roads. Judge Ellsworth soon afterward withdrew from this store, but the business was continued by Mr. Booth until 1866. In 1832 Solomon Weaver built a hotel on the southwest corner of the cross-roads. Judge Ellsworth built a store on the north- east corner, and William D. Henry the store and dwelling on the north- west corner. The stone school-house was built in 1868, Mary Williams being the first, and Mr. Henneberg the second teacher of the village.
Thus was the village of Branchport established. From the begin- ning made by Ellsworth & Booth, there has been built up in later years the third village in importance in Yates County ; likewise it is one of the three incorporated villages of the shire. However interesting it might be to the reader to see here the succession of operators in the various branches of mercantile and business pursuits, those usually found in every trading center, it can hardly be done with reliable accuracy ; still, some of the earlier merchants can be called by name, among them Ellsworth & Booth, William D. Henry, Peter Youngs, sen , Lawrence & Smith, Harvy I. Andrus, Goodrich, Easton & Co., Solomon D. Weaver, Myron H. Weaver, Bradley Shearman, Frederick Parris, James H. Gamby, John Laird, Asa E. Pettengill, Peter H. Bitley, Clark Righter. Nearly all of these, during their time, were general or coun- try merchants, keeping stocks which embraced dry goods, groceries, hardware, drugs and medicines, boots and shoes, and in fact almost every commodity incidental to average country stores. However, drugs were the special stock kept by Bush & Andrews, Elliot Bush, L. J.

Beddoe, Robert Boyd, Tomer Bros., T. B. Boyd, and James H. Gamby. Hardware dealers were James T. Durry, C. J. Hathaway, and Joel Dorman.
The present business interests of the village of Branchport may be summed up about as follows : Parris & Stever, general store ; Alfred E. Hayes, dry goods and groceries ; William Joy, general store ; Charles Bean, druggist ; David Parris as successor to Parris & Boyd, foundry, basket factory and planing-mill; Philip Wheeler, builder, planing and matching ; Edwin Mattison, harness shop ; S. S. Ellsworth & Co., lum- ber, coal, lime and cement; George S. Weaver, lumber dealer ; Jasper C. Shull, proprietor of the Branchport Hotel.
The first post-office in the town, established in 1824, called Jerusalem, was located near the ancient Havens Tavern. Nathaniel Cothern was its postmaster. He was succeeded by Henry Larzelere, who held from 1826 to 1852, when the office was discontinued. At Branchport a post- office was established in 1832, the incumbents of which have been Spen- cer Booth, till 1849; Myron H. Weaver till 1853 ; William S. Booth till 1861 ; Bradley Shearman, succeeded by Peter H. Young, and the latter by his wife, Almeda Young ; she having held the office for twenty- seven consecutive years. An office was established at Shearman's Hol- low in 1841, and at Kinney's Corners (Bluff Point) in 1850.
Ecclesiastical History .- The oldest denomination or sect to find a foothold within the town of Jerusalem was probably that of the Society of Friends, headed by Jemima Wilkinson, or the Public Universal Friend, as she styled herself. This remarkable woman made the town her home in 1794, and her domicile was the place of meeting for her society. But this is a subject fully treated elsewhere in this work and needs no repetition here.
As was the case in many of the towns in this region, the Methodists early sowed the seed of their church in Jerusalem, the year 1793 being announced as that in which the first meetings were held, although it was not until 1838 that any effective organization was made. Prior to that the meetings were of an embryo character, consisting of class gath- erings and informal worship, with an occasional regular preaching service conducted by the circuit preachers of the region. Prominent among the pioneer Methodists of the town was Uriah Townsend, a resident of

the locality called in succession Fox's and Kinney's Corners ; and in the same relation may be mentioned Isaac Townsend, Peter Althizer, Stephen Bagley, Eleanor, wife of John Rice, and the, wives of the per- sons already named. In 1838 was organized " The First Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Jerusalem," the trustees being John Dorman, William H. Decker, James Fredenburg, Robert C. Brown and Rufus Evans. At once measures were taken for the erection of a meet- ing house at the Corners, and the result was its construction at a cost of about $850. The lot for the church was donated by Hixson Ander- son, a pioneer merchant at Kinney's Corners. John Dorman was the first class-leader, followed by William T. Moore, Isaac Purdy, and A. J. Brown in succession.
Another class in the town was formed at Brown's Mills in 1815, Isaac Kinney being its leader, followed by Daniel Brown and Benjamin Dur- ham. This class was maintained for many years, and finally moved to Branchport. In 1866 the organization of a society was perfected at the latter place, the first board of trustees being Solomon D. Weaver, James Gamby, Henry Larzelere, Henry W. Harris, William H. Decker, Nel- son Bennett, Elias Madison, and James Spencer. The newly-formed society selected Schuyler Sutherland, Joseph Abbott, and William H. Decker as building committee. They purchased the Methodist Episco- pal Church building at Nettle Valley and moved it to Branchport, where it was reconstructed and fitted up into a pleasant and commo- dious house of worship. The work cost about $2,500. The pastors of the Branchport Methodist Episcopal Church have been as follows : 1866, Schuyler Sutherland ; 1867, Solomon Wetzell ; 1868-69, C. Dillenbeck ; 1870, Philo Cowles; 1871-72, A. D. Edgar; 1873-75, J. J. Payn ; 1876-78, 1883-85, R. D. Phillips ; 1879, Charles Hermans ; 1880-82, S. C. Hatmaker ; 1886, R. N. Leak; 1887-90, J. N. Sackett, 1891, G. W. Reynolds.
The Baptist Church and society in Jerusalem dates back to the early years of the present century, and to 1815, when Elder Elnathan Finch completed an informal organization and held regular meetings in a little log church on Bluff Point. Elder Finch and his successor, Elder House, were the ministers of the church, but their labors were voluntary and without compensation.
428
HISTORY OF YATES COUNTY.
In January, 1834, a meeting was held at Branchport for the purpose of organizing a Baptist society at that place. The result was the incor- poration of the First Baptist Society of Branchport, with Erastus Cole, Benajah Andrus, William Richardson, Benjamin Runyan, Israel Her- rick, and John French as trustees. Erastus Cole, John French, and Benjamin Rogers were made deacons. During the same month the society resolved to build a church, 38 by 50 feet in size, and to cost not more than $2,000. Jacob Herrick, Benjamin Rogers, and Ezra Witter were appointed a building committee. This house stood until 1870, and was then radically remodeled and refitted, at an expense of over $1,800. The succession of pastors of the Branchport Baptist Church has been as follows : E. D. Owen, A. B. Winchell, S. S. Haywood, William Frary, Reuben P. Lamb, Elder Mosher, Peter Colegrove, M. W. Holmes, Vincent L. Garrett, William H. Shields (supply), Daniel De- lano, Levi Hicks, Vincent L. Garrett (for a second pastorate), George Balcom, Vincent L. Garrett (for third pastorate), John C. Rooney, George Gates, C. H. Planch, Edwin Hard, L. B. Albert, I. E. Brown, C. R. Negus, James Cook.
The Branchport Presbyterian Church .- The Presbyterian Church of Branchport and Jerusalem had its inception in the early meetings and services held by Rev. James Rowlette at West Jerusalem and on Bluff Point. Two years later, or in 1832, a society was organized through the efforts of Revs. Samuel White, William Todd and Stephen Crosby, with members as follows: Ira and Abigail Green, Wynans and Julia Bush, Dexter and Sarah Lamb, David Rumsey, Lydia Tettsworth, So- phia Rumsey, Jane Rumsey, Eliza Rumsey, Betsey Hoffstratter, Mrs. Mary Morse, Miss Mary Morse, Mrs. Leman Dunning, Polly Dunning, Hopestill Hastings and Pamelia Jagger. The organization was com- pleted on the 24th of July, 1832, and Rev. James Rowlette was the first chosen pastor. The church edifice was erected in 1833, costing $1,900, and was dedicated in October of the year named. The building an- swered the purposes of the society until 1851, when it was removed from the hill to its present location. At the same time it was thor- oughly repaired and remodeled. Succession of pastors : James Row- lette, Robert L. Porter, Lewis Hamilton, John C. Morgan, Samuel Porter, Horace Fraser, A. Foster, Lewis M. McGlashan, Horace Fraser,

Richard Woodruff, Lewis M. McGlashan, Rev. Fitch, A. T. Wood, S. Ottman, Theo. O. Marsh, Rev. McLain, Rev. Judson, Chauncey Francisco, Charles T. White, E. H. Stratton, J. Cairnes, H. B. Sayre. M. E. Nelson acted as supply through the summer of 1872.
St. Luke's Church .- The church and parish of St. Luke's at Branch- port was informally organized in 1863, but prior to that time Episcopal services had been held for several years, and since 1855. The families in the locality were connected with St. Mark's parish and church at Penn Yan, and the early services here were held by the rectors of that church and by lay readers living in the town. In 1863, upon the or- ganization of the parish, Rev. Henry B. Barton became rector, but died within a month of his coming to the town He was succeeded in 1865 by the Rev. William B. Otis. In 1866 the parish was regularly organ- ized according to law, and a church edifice erected. The first officers were Henry Rose and Joseph Axtell, wardens; Solomon D. Weaver, John N. Rose, James C. Wightman, Harris Cole, Lynham J. Beddoe, John Haire, Henry R. Sill and John N. Macomb, jr., vestrymen ; John N. Macomb, jr., clerk ; and J. C. Wightman, treasurer. The church is of stone, 28 by 54 feet in size, with recess chancel fourteen feet deep. Its cost was $4,000. Succession of rectors: B. W. Stone, Camman Mann, M. Teller, Henry Dennis, W. H. Lord.
The Branchport Universalist Church became first rooted in Jerusalem during the " Forties," and under the labors of Rev. Wheelock as minis- ter. In the same relation he was followed by Revs. Clark, Sawyer and Carpenter, each in succession conducting services whenever and wher- ever opportunity offered. On the 9th of April, 1851, the " Univer- salist Society of Branchport" was duly organized, and in June following the 'present church edifice was erected, costing about $2,500. Ira Pearce was then moderator, and Peter H. Bitley first clerk. Bradley Shearman, James Stever and G. F. Colburn were the trustees. Rev. Reuben Cheeney was the first pastor, followed in succession, by B. Hunt, A. G. Clark, James Fuller, Asa Countryman, H. B. Howell, H. K. White, C. F. Dodge, J. F. Leland, N. E. Spicer and A. U. Hutchins ; the latter being the present pastor. The society owns a parsonage and a small farm of fifty acres about a mile north of the village. The latter was the generous gift of Peter H. Bitley. Connected with the church

are the organizations known as "The King's Daughters," and the " Young People's Christian Union."
