Sherman in 1794, when he built an ashery and a blacksmith shop. In 1795 he started a distillery.
The first religious services in the town of Palmyra were held in the private house of the Long Island Company, in 1792, by Presbyterians. In 1793 a church was formed under the Congre- gational form of government, by Rev. Ira Condit. This is said to have been the first church organized in the state west of the preemption line. In September, 1807, the first frame edifice was opened for services. This church was renamed the Presbyterian Church of East Palmyra in 1817, when the "western" church was set off on February 26th of that year, and organized by Rev. Francis Pomeroy. The First Baptist Church of Palmyra was organized May 29, 1800, at the house of Lemuel Spear, with nine- teen members; the first church building was erected in 1808; this society was disbanded in 1835. Another Baptist Church was started November 9, 1832, at the house of Rev. John D. Heart, who was pastor. After a year the members returned to Ken's Corners Church, the First Baptist Church above mentioned. In 1835 another split occurred and two churches were formed, one of them the Palmyra Society. The first pastor of the latter was Rev. Henry V. Jones. The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Palmyra had its inception in a class founded about 1811. In 1822 a church was organized, and a church building erected near the cemetery on Vienna Street. Zion Episcopal Church of Pal- myra was organized June 23, 1823, under Rev. Rufus Murray ; occasional services had been held several years before by Rev. Davenport Phelps. The first church building was completed in 1829. The Methodist Episcopal Church of East Palmyra was in- corporated May 8, 1834. St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church of Palmyra was organized by Rev. Edmund O'Connor about 1848. The Reformed Dutch Church of Palmyra was established in 1887.
The town of Sodus embraces what was originally the north- east part of the district of Sodus, which was organized about Jan- uary 27, 1789, and then embraced what are now the towns of Sodus, Lyons, Arcadia, Marion, Walworth, Ontario and William- son. Williamson was set off February 20, 1802 (then including Ontario, Walworth and Marion), and Lyons (then including Ar- cadia) on March 1, 1811, thus leaving the town of Sodus as it now stands. The first record of a town meeting is that of April 2,

1799, at the house of Evert Van Wickle, when Azariah Willis, of Alloway, was elected supervisor. The first town meeting of the present town was held in 1811, at the house of Daniel Arms, near Wallington, and Nathaniel Merrill was chosen supervisor.
The country in the vicinity of Sodus Point was a favorite rendezvous of the Indians, and one of the first encroachments of the white man was the building of a tavern there by the irrepres- sible Charles Williamson, although his dreams of a great trade center there were doomed to disappointment. In 1795 Amos Richards moved to the lake shore and built a cabin seven miles west of Sodus Point. Within a few years he deserted his wife and daughter and disappeared. The wife afterward married a Mr. Alcock. About 1796 Elijah Brown settled four miles west of the Point, but soon after moved to Orleans County. John Boyd and his son, Frederick, came from Maryland in 1798 and settled on the east side of the bay, moving to the other side the next year. Two years later came Thomas Boyd, a younger son of the above. In April, 1801, Ammi Ellsworth, of Connecticut, settled in the town, with his brother-in-law, Asahel Osburn. Daniel Russell, Amos Richards, Elijah Brown and Stephen Bushnell were the only settlers near him at the time. Dr. William N. Lummis, from Philadelphia, settled in the town in 1801. Col. Peregrine Fitzhugh came in 1803, and Elder Seba Norton in 1804. Joseph Hathaway came in 1803. Others who arrived during the first decade or so of the new century were: John Corey, Elder Gerum, Matthew Clark, Isaac Mason, Jenks Pullen, Abner Torrey, Samuel Warren, Silas F. Andrews, William Young, Daniel Arms, Dr. Elisha Mather, Elisha Granger, Noble Granger, Parson Hunn, John Granger, Mark Johnson, Pierce Granger, Lyman Dunning, Na- thaniel Kellogg, Joseph and Samuel Green, Kitchell Bell, Robert A. Paddock, William Danforth, Byram Green, the Bacons, Morses, and Smiths, Bancrofts, Barnards, Knapps, Axtells, Terrys and Warners, Rodolphus Field, William P. Irwin, William Wickham, Gamaliel Case, Enoch Morse, Thomas Wickham, Levi Allen, Wil- liam Delano, and many others.
The first school in the town was taught by Mrs. Armsbury, a sister of Daniel Arms, north of Wallington. Doctor Gibbs and Huldah Terry were other early teachers. An academy was estab- lished at Sodus in 1852.

HISTORY OF THE GENESEE COUNTRY
The first settler within the village of Sodus, which was incor- porated in 1918, was John Holcomb, who built a house here in November, 1809. The postoffice at this place was originally estab- lished as East Ridge. By the time the war opened the village con- tained a small number of buildings, including a tavern and a frame school house.
The first banking business in the village was started by E. A. Green about 1859. He failed in 1876, and soon after E. W. Gur- nee & Company established Green's Banking Office, which became, indirectly, the Bank of Sodus in 1883. The banking business of C. D. Gaylord was established October 1, 1881, by S. P. Hulett and Mr. Gaylord. Mr. Hulett died in 1884, and Mr. Gaylord continued the business alone. The First National Bank of Sodus was organized in 1909.
The postoffice here was the first in the town, originally named Sodus, then Sodus Point. The first lighthouse was built about 1820 and the first piers were erected about 1828. The chief im- portance of the village today is its excellent summer resort fa- cilities.
The site of the hamlet of Wallington was originally owned by Daniel Arms, then John W. Messenger. The hamlets of Sodus Center, South Sodus, Alton, Joy, Sprong's Bluff and Maxwell's grew up as community centers.
It is believed that the first Methodist preacher in Sodus was Elder Gerum, who came about 1806. A society was formed at Morse Hill in February, 1840, and the old Centenary Church erected that year. This was three miles northwest of the village of Sodus. A society was formed at Johnson's Corners, but trans- ferred to the village of Sodus, where a church building was erected in the early forties. The church at Sodus Point was organized as a branch of the latter in 1871. The first Baptist Society in the town was formed about 1821. In 1834 the West Baptist Church of Sodus was organized, but later went out of existence. The First Presbyterian Church of Sodus was established October 23, 1812. The church at Joy started in 1845, and that at Sodus Center in 1863. In August, 1826, the St. John's Episcopal Church of Sodus was established. Christ's Episcopal Church at Sodus Point was organized May 3, 1851. St. Luke's of Sodus Center was started as a mission in 1875. The Free Congregational

Church of Sodus was established in 1843, and the Free Methodist Church of Alton in 1861. The Adventists had a society in the town fifty years ago. A Protestant Methodist Society came into existence in 1847, the Christian Church of Alton in 1842, a Free Will Baptist in 1843.
On March 11, 1811, the town of Lyons was set off from the old district of Sodus, and in February, 1825, the town of Arcadia was erected from its territory, leaving the present town. The . first meeting of the new town was held at the house of Thomas D. Gale on the first Tuesday of April, 1811, and Gilbert Howell was elected supervisor. The first settlers in the town came in by boats on the Clyde River to the junction of Ganargwa Creek and Canan- daigua outlet. The first settlers in Lyons were Nicholas and William Stansell, and John Featherly, described in the early para- graphs of this chapter. In fact, the first settlement of Lyons is synonymous with the first settlement of the county. The build- ing of the Erie Canal had much to do with the success of settle- ment in this town, also the coming of the first railroad in 1853. Charles Williamson, through his agents here, Charles Cameron and Henry Towar, began improvements in the village of Lyons and at Alloway even before settlers had begun to arrive. By 1808 those living in the vicinity of Lyons Village were: Capt. David Gilson, Major Ezekiel Price, Dr. William Ambler, John Riggs, Richard Jones, William Bond, Joseph Hathaway, Samuel Mummy, George Carr, Henry Beard, Capt. John Perrine, Thomas Story, William Duncan, the Stanton brothers, Rev. John Cole and sons, Samuel Bennett, Peter Walker, James Coats, Judge Daniel Dorsey, Benjamin Brink, James Walters, Henry Stansell, John Featherly, Richard Ely, Major Amos Stout, Benjamin Hartman, John Van Wickle, Elisha Sylvester, Capt. William Paton, and Simon Van Wickle.
The first school in the village of Lyons stood on the west side of Butternut Street, at the head of Queen, and was built before 1804. Among the early teachers in the various schools were Thomas Rogers, Capt. James Hill, Andrew Hull, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Trowbridge, Mr. Starr and Rev. Jeremiah Flint. On March 29, 1837, the Lyons Academy was incorporated.
Capt. Charles Williamson named the village of Lyons, and gave the village its start toward maturity. It was incorporated

April 18, 1854; the first charter election was held May 8. The first tavern was that of John Riggs in 1800, with William Gibbs following. In 1821 the Joppa Land Company, consisting of Myron Holley, Gen. William H. Adams and Augustine H. Law- rence, bought the Riggs farm of 300 acres in the eastern part of the village and had it surveyed into building lots; they also erected a two-story frame tavern on the corner of William and Monte- zuma streets. It is recorded that by 1808 Lyons Village had "two taverns, a store, a school house, a tailor, saddler, shoemaker, and blacksmith, and religion had made a beginning in the hands of
two societies." Quoting again: "Prior to 1811 the survey of Lyons was into acre lots, and its bounds were comprised as fol- lows: south lay the Clyde River, east was William Street, west was Butternut Street, and northward the streets met at an angle. Broad Street, running north and south, was the principal street. Cross streets were laid out and bore the names of Water, Pearl, Church and Queen. In 1811 Evert Van Wickle allotted the vil- lage into building lots." The first merchants in the village were Judge Daniel Dorsey and Major Ezekiel Price. Jacob Leach opened a store in 1812.
The Lyons postoffice was established in 1807 and the first postmaster was Major Ezekiel Price, and he held the position for more than thirty years. The first elected board of trustees of the village was composed of De Witt W. Parshall (president), Aaron Remsen, Miles S. Leach, Stephen S. Herrick, John T. Denniston, and William H. Sisson. The Lyons Gas Light Company was or- ganized in 1859, and the Lyons Electric Light & Power Company in 1889.
The Bank of Lyons was established in 1836, but failed in 1842. William Sisson and Daniel Chapman did a private bank- ing business in early days, as also did Gavitt and Murdock; West- fall's Bank was started in 1859, and failed in 1868; Hiram and Nelson Mirick and Samuel L. Cole had a bank, also John L. Cole; J. V. D. Westfall was another private banker. The Lyons Na- tional Bank was incorporated as the Palmyra Bank of Wayne County in December, 1843, and the name was changed to the Lyons Bank in 1857. De Witt W. Parshall and Peter R. Westfall were the founders. In 1865 it became a national bank, with Mr.

Parshall as the first president. The Gavitt National Bank of Lyons was established in 1904; G. J. Gavitt is the president.
The first religious services in the town of Lyons were held by Rev. John Cole, a Methodist preacher, in 1797. The Methodist Episcopal Union Church of Lyons was formed in 1809. The First Presbyterian Church of Lyons was originated in 1800, but formal organization did not take place until nine years later. Grace Episcopal Church of Lyons was organized in 1826 as St. Paul's Church; the change of name occurred in 1838. The First Baptist Church of Lyons was started very early, and reorganized in 1833. The German Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lyons was organ- ized in 1830, and the German Church of the Evangelical Associa- tion of North America in 1835. The Church of Christ of Lyons started as a Sunday school in 1869, and became a church in 1876. St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church was incorporated in 1869, but Catholic services had been held in the town many years before. St. John's Lutheran Church of Lyons was established in 1877.
The town of Galen was organized by a division of the town of Junius, in Seneca County, February 14, 1812. On April 11, 1823, it became a part of Wayne County, and on November 24, 1824, Savannah was set off, leaving Galen as it is now constituted. This town was reserved for the physicians and surgeons of New York regiments in the Revolutionary War, disciples of the Greek physi- cian, Claudius Galen, hence the name of the town. On the site of the village of Clyde stood an old blockhouse which was used as a trading post by the French before 1754. It was later used by Tories as a smuggling station, and acquired an unhealthy reputa- tion. It was afterward destroyed in a government raid.
The first town meeting was held at the house of Jonathan Melvin, Jr., in April, 1812; Mr. Melvin was elected supervisor. The first permanent white settler in the town was Laomi Beadle, who settled on land owned by his father at Marengo in 1800. He built the first log house and erected the first saw mill. In 1801 David Godfrey, Nicholas King and Isaac Mills settled in the town. In 1803 came David Creager and J. King from Maryland, and in 1804 Capt. John Sherman, Elias Austin, Mr. Payne and Jabez Reynolds arrived. In 1805 there came Asaph Whittlesey, Wil- liam Foreman, Mr. Rich, Salem Ford, Isaac Beadle and Aaron Ford. Abraham Romeyn was another early settler, as were

The first school house was built of logs and was located near Black Creek in 1814, and the first teacher was John Abbott. About four years later a building was erected in the village of Clyde. The first school in Marengo was erected about 1816.
The village of Clyde had its beginning on the south side of the river when Jonathan Melvin, Jr., built a blockhouse there. A few more log houses sprung up in the vicinity, and shortly after 1812 the place was named Lauraville, in honor of the daughter of Sir William Pulteney. William McLouth, a surveyor, laid out the original streets and lots on the south side of the river, and was one of the first tradesmen. The first store was started about 1815 by James B. West in a part of the Vanderbilt Tavern, the latter dating from 1814. On the north side of the river, Doctor Ledyard, a Revolutionary surgeon, received the original title to the land, and from him it went to George Burrill. The first frame house and store was built by William S. De Zeng, but he never lived here. The first tavern was called the Mansion House, and from the steps of this hostelry Governor Clinton was welcomed when he passed by on his canal in 1825, Dominic Moshier doing the honors. In 1830 Clyde contained "seven dry goods stores, ten groceries, four hotels, two drug stores, a glass factory, two lawyers, an insurance office, a printing office and newspaper, two saddle and harness makers, two hatters, two grist mills, a saw mill, a wool carder, one cloth dresser, two physicians, two milli- ners, five shoemakers, two blacksmiths, three tailors, two tanners, four storage and forwarders, six painters, twelve carpenters, four masons, a cabinet maker, two distilleries, one wheelwright, three coopers, and upwards of 200 houses." In 1840 Clyde Village had a population of 1,400. The village was incorporated May 2, 1835,

and the first trustees were: William S. Stow, Samuel C. Paine, Aaron T. Hendrick, Arza Lewis and John Condit. Lauraville ceased to exist then, and the name Clyde was adopted for both sides of the river. The postoffice, which had been established as Galen, became Clyde in 1826.
The banking history of Clyde starts in 1837, when Miller's Bank was organized, and failed in 1843. In 1851 Isaac Miller established the Commercial Bank of Clyde, but he ended disas- trously in 1869. The father of Isaac Miller started the First National Bank of Clyde in 1865, but he, too, failed in 1869. Charles Hamilton conducted a private banking business for sev- eral years before his death, in 1893. In March, 1869, Aaron Gris- wold and Charles E. Elliott started a private bank, which, with a number of changes in proprietorship, existed until 1883. The Briggs Bank of Clyde was incorporated in 1856 with Samuel S. Briggs as president. In the fall of 1866 it became a private bank under Briggs & Palmer. In March, 1880, it closed business under this title, but in the following month reopened as the Briggs Na- tional Bank. W. A. Hunt, who was assistant cashier at this time, is today president. The Citizens Bank of Clyde began business in 1920, and the president is F. L. Waldorf.
The village of Lock Berlin was settled by Solomon Ford in 1805; James Showers, John and McQuiller Parish, and John Acker were other settlers here. The village of Marengo was the scene of the first settlement in the town, that of Laomi Beadle, as already stated.
The first religious organization in the town was the Galen Preparatory Meeting of Friends, started in 1815. The First Pres- byterian Church of Clyde was organized by Rev. Francis Pomeroy and Rev. Hippocrates Roe in 1814. The First Baptist Church of Clyde was established as early as 1819 and Rev. Joseph Potter was the first pastor. The First Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Clyde was organized November 23, 1824, by Isaac Chase and Joseph Gardner, ministers. The church at Lock Berlin began in 1835. St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church of Clyde was organized in September, 1840. St. John's Roman Catholic Church of Clyde was started when services were first held in 1845 by Father Gilbride. The German Lutheran Church of Clyde be- gan in 1859, and the Free Methodist Church in 1864.

The old town of Wolcott, comprising the present towns of Butler, Wolcott, Huron and Rose, was set off from the north part of Junius, in Seneca County, March 24, 1807, but formal organ- ization was not completed until April, 1810. Wolcott assumed its present proportions in 1826, when, in February, Rose, Huron and Butler were set off, after years of dispute over boundaries. The town was named for Oliver Wolcott, governor of Connecticut, from which state and Massachusetts the greater part of the early settlers came. The first town meeting was held at the grist mill of Jonathan Melvin, Sr., in Wolcott Village April 3, 1810, and Osgood Church was the first supervisor chosen. The territory within the town was part of the old Military Tract, to which Charles Williamson later acquired title. Settlement in the pres- ent town began at Wolcott Village about 1807. Jonathan Melvin, Sr., began improvements here in this year, but did not move his family until 1811. The following list of settlers present at the first town meeting gives a comprehensive idea of the identity of Wolcott's first residents : Osgood Church, Adonijah Church, Aaron Hoppin, Franklin Ward, Alpheus Harmon, Obadiah Adams, Seth Craw, John Hyde, William P. Newell, Noah Starr, Dr. Zenas Hyde, John Woodruff, Roswell Fox, Zenas Wheeler, Lambert Woodruff, Charles Woodruff, Peres Bardwell, Silas Munsell, James Alexander, Ezra Knapp, Abijah Moore, Jacob Shook, Eliab Abbott, John Grandy, Roger Olmsted, Gardner Mudge, Alpheus Collins, Abram Bunce, Lyman Whitney, Robert Van Tassell, Stephen Herrick, Jacob Ward, Eli Ward, Caleb Mills, Jonathan Melvin, Sr., Nathaniel Williams, Glazier Wheeler, Eli Wheeler, Levi Wheeler, Roger Sheldon, George Sheldon, Harvey Mudge, Moses Gillett, Thomas Hancock, Elijah Hancock, Lucius Hub- bard, Jacob Frober, Wareham Sheldon, Consider Herrick, Pren- tice Palmer, Ashley Goodrich, Thaddeus Collins, Milton Fuller, Pender Marsh, Eliakim Tupper, William Hallett, Jarvis Mudge, Lott Stewart, Jabez Stewart, and Jesse Matthews.
The first school house in the town was built at the village of Wolcott in 1810; Jonathan Melvin, Sr., erected another two or three years later. In 1859 Leavenworth Institute was incorpo- rated.
Wolcott Village was incorporated February 24, 1852. Jona- than Melvin, Sr., Obadiah Adams, Osgood Church, Dr. David

Arne and Elias Y. Munson were men intimately associated with the early history of the village. The first banking business here was done by James V. D. Westfall. Roe & Ellis' private bank was started by Roe, Ellis and Pomeroy in 1875. The First Na- tional Bank of Wolcott, the only banking institution in the village now, was organized in 1901; G. W. Roe is president.
The village of Red Creek was called Jacksonville in the early days, in honor of Andrew Jackson. It is said that the first settler here was a Mr. Beman, and the second Mr. Babbitt. Neither was a permanent citizen. In 1811 Noadiah Childs came in and built a log home, followed by Jacob Snyder and his ten children, Isaac Easton with eleven children, Isaac Hoppin, Philip Bien, Abraham Teachout and James S. Brinkerhoff. The village was incorpo- rated in 1852. The first banking business was started by William O. Wood, who was succeeded by his sons. Becker & Hall took over this business and continued it for a time. . The present Red Creek National Bank was established in 1915; William Hawley is president.
The First Presbyterian Church of Wolcott was founded July 18, 1813. The Methodist Episcopal Church of Wolcott was formed as a class in 1833, although there had been extensive preaching years before. The First Baptist Church of Wolcott was incorporated June 2, 1835. The Methodist Protestant Church started in 1855. The Methodist Episcopal Church at Red Creek had its origin in 1843. The Presbyterian Church of Red Creek was regularly organized May 13, 1818. The Baptist Church of Red Creek was established in 1841, and St. Thomas' Roman Catholic Parish in 1875. The Methodist Protestant Church of North Wolcott was started in 1838.
The town of Williamson was set off from the town of Sodus February 20, 1802, and, until the organization of Wayne County in 1823, was a part of the county of Ontario. The original bounds of Williamson were shortened by the erection of the town of Ontario (including Walworth) in 1807, and Marion in 1825. The first town meeting was held at the home of Timothy Smith in the village of Marion in March, 1803, but no supervisor was elected until the next year, when Luke Phelps was chosen.
The first settlements in this town, at Pulteneyville and Wil- liamson, were made following 1804. The first white settler at
