ness during the most perilous period of the revolu- tion, subjected to the many hardships of those times which tried men's souls. John O. Becker left home at about the age of fourteen, alone and penniless. He found employment for a time on public works at Fort Plain, and, accumulating some means, purchased property in Florida, Mont- gomery County, where he lived until his removal to Duanesburgh.

COLONEL JOHN D. WOOD.
This well known gentleman, who has been a life-long resident of Duanesburgh, is a son of Doctor John Wood, who was an early and highly esteemed physician and surgeon in this sec- tion. Doctor Wood was the oldest son of Benja- min Wood, once a farmer in Wright, Schoharie County, who settled there in 1789, married a Miss Tygert, and had nine sons and three daughters. He studied medicine with Doctor Williams, in Knox, Albany County, and came to Duanesburgh about 1808, locating on the turnpike near the present residence of I. R. T. Wood, and beginning the practice of his profession in partnership with Doctor Peter Delamater. This association was dis- solved a year or two later, Doctor Wood continu- ing his practice alone and enjoying an extensive patronage for about forty years. He married Martha, daughter of Robert Dennison, of Knox, Albany County, who was a native of Mystic, Conn. She bore him eleven children. Of these, Eunice died April 1, 1831; Datus died February 12, 1817; E. Darwin died April 23, 1840; Edwin died August 24, 1843; Robert died January 28, 1846; Benjamin F., a merchant at Duanesburgh Corners,

Y .; another daughter is Mrs. Henry Sherburne, of Es- perance, N. Y .; Isaac R. T., who lives on the old homestead, married Clarissa M. Shoudy, of Guil- derland, and has a son named Edwin; and John D. is a farmer, whose possessions adjoin the old home- stead. The latter, whose name heads this sketch and whose portrait appears in this work, was Colonel of the 188th Regiment New York State Militia, succeeding Colonel Allen, and was formerly one of the best known and most popular of the old time military officers. His regiment was disbanded in 1835. Advanced in years, he lives a quiet and retired life. His friends are many and his friend- ships have been accounted hearty and helpful. His interest in the welfare and prosperity of the town has been earnest and unflagging, and all measures promising the enhancement of the public weal have ever received his willing and sub- stantial support. The Wood estate comprises 240 acres.
COLONEL JACOB J. DE FOREST.
The De Forest family, who were of Huguenot descent, came to America about the year 1620 and located on Long Island. There were three brothers, one of whom went to New England, one to Western New York, and one located in Greenbush, opposite Albany. From the latter branch Mr. Jacob J. De Forest, of Duanes- burgh, is descended. His grandfather, Jacob De Forest, came from Greenbush to Duanesburgh about 1780, and moved to Schenectady late in life and died there. His sons were named Jacob, Obediah L., Martin, John, and James. Jacob, the eldest, born October 23, 1797, married Anna Schermerhorn, born August 14, 1799. They had twelve children, of whom Jacob J. De Forest was the first born, October 10, 1820. Mr. De Forest died June 19, 1882, and his wife April 27, 1851. Jacob J. De Forest was born at the old Schuylenberg mansion, the birth-place of his mother and for two hundred years the homestead of his grandfather's family, about a mile south of Schenectady. He was educated at the Schenectady Lyceum, under the
172

tutelage of Rev. Dr. Huntington. He taught a winter term of school in Rotterdam, and afterward apprenticed himself to learn the carpenter trade with James A. Van Vorst, then a prominent car- penter and builder of Schenectady. His ap- prenticeship concluded in 1844, and in 1845 he re- moved to Albany and engaged in contracting and building on his own account, continuing success- fully till 1851, in the meantime erecting many large buildings and business blocks. In 1851 he formed a copartnership with R. J. Patten and Benjamin Myers, under the firm name of De Forest, Patten & Co., and leased the Kenwood saw-mills and opened a lumber yard at the corner of Columbia and Quay streets, at the extreme southern point .of the old lumber district. The firm did a large busi- ness until the expiration of the term of their co- partnership in 1858, when Mr. De Forest retired from active business.
Mr. De Forest had long had a liking for military life. December 28, 1855, he was commissioned Engineer of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of the Eleventh Brigade, Third Division of the Militia of the State of New York. July 1, 1856, he was pro- moted to be the Engineer of the Eleventh Brigade. June 9, 1858, he was commissioned Inspector of the Eleventh Brigade, which position he held until the outbreak of the rebellion. In April, 1861, he was placed in charge of the old Adams House recruiting rendezvous in Albany, and served there until the following August, during which time the first thirty volunteer regiments of the State were recruited and organized. During the month last mentioned he was ordered to repair to Oswego, and there organize a regiment which was designated as the Eighty-first Regiment New York Volunteers, and of which he was elected colonel by unanimous vote; but, in deference to Colonel Edwin Rose, of Long Island, he withdrew in the latter's favor. February 19, 1862, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the regiment with rank from December 20th preceding, when the regiment was mustered into the United States ser- vice. July 19, 1862, he was promoted to the col- onelcy of the regiment, with rank from July 7th.
The regiment formed a part of the Fourth Corps of the Army of the Peninsular, under command of General Keyes, and participated in all of the ser- vice incident to McClellan's Peninsular Campaign. At the battle of Fair Oaks, May 31, 1862, Lieuten- ant-Colonel De Forest, at the time temporarily in command of the regiment, was shot through the left lung. He was sent to the Douglas Hospital at Washington, and when he became convalescent was granted a furlough to return home. He recovered his health in a measure and rejoined his comrades September 1, 1862. On the 5th day of that month he was mustered as colonel of his regiment under authority of his commission previously issued as above mentioned. About January 1, 1863, the command to which the Eighty-first Regiment was attached was ordered into North Carolina and took part in the active service which followed in that section. Thence the command was sent to Beau- fort, South Carolina, and attached to the command
of General Hunter. March 30th a reorganization of the forces was effected, preparatory to the siege of Charleston, under which Colonel De Forest was placed in command of the Second Brigade of Heckman's Division, Eighteenth Army Corps. After the conclusion of that unsuccessful attempt against the Confederate stronghold, the Union forces gathered in the vicinity were ordered to Morehead City, N. C., where the Eighty-first Regiment and other troops did garrison duty until late in the fall. During this interim, Colonel De Forest was placed in command of the sub-district of Beaufort. The forces there were sent to Fortress Monroe, and the Eighty-first Regiment and a company of cavalry were ordered by General Benj. F. Butler to North- west Landing, Va., where they were engaged in a desultory warfare with guerillas until April 1, 1864, when the regiment returned home on veteran fur- lough, having re-enlisted for three years, at the ex- piration of which it joined Grant's army and par- ticipated in all of the campaigns, from the battle of Cold Harbor (June 1st, 2d and 3d) until the close of the war. In the memorable and bloody engage- ment just mentioned, the Eighty-first Regiment was literally cut up, no less than seven out of nine of the company commanders falling in the fight, and Colonel De Forest having several hairbreadth es- capes. On account of disability, arising from his old wound, the Colonel was sent to Point of Rocks Hospital, near Petersburgh, Va., and thence to the Annapolis (Md. ) Hospital, where he remained until he was mustered out of service on the Ist of Sep- tember, 1864, the lieutenant-colonel commanding the regiment until the close of the war.
Since the rebellion, Colonel De Forest has lived a quiet life on his farm in Duanesburgh, broken only by service at times in the census bureau, taking a deep, but not active, interest in politics, and doing his share in developing the resources of his town. He has been three times married, and has seven children living. He has always been inter- ested in educational questions and has done much to advance the standard of the schools of Duanes- burgh and elsewhere. At one time, in association with the late Hon. Horace Greeley and others, he was a trustee of the People's College, at Ovid, N. Y.
CIVIL HISTORY.
Duanesburgh, named in honor of James Duane, its principal proprietor, was erected as a township by patent, March 13. 1765. It was first joined with Schoharie under the title of the United District of Duanesburgh and Schoharie. It was made a separate district March 24, 1772, and recognized as a town March 22, 1788.
It is to be regretted that the loss of the town rec- ords by fire, about 1830, prevents the introduc- tion of many interesting extracts from the early books. The first record of an annual town meet- ing extant is that of the year 1832; but we are en- abled to present the names of all the Supervisors since the organization of the Board of Supervisors of the county of Schenectady.
