The first settler in the town of Horseheads was John Breese, who, with his wife and eight children, arrived about a mile and a half below the present Elmira in June, 1787; in 1789 he moved to a place a brief distance south of the present village of Horseheads. In 1790 Asa Guildersleeve, a brother-in-law of Breese, settled in the town, and in the next year David Powers, Christopher Van Deventer, John Winkler, Jonathan S. Conkling and John Sayre arrived. After the land surveys in this section, there were a num- ber of soldiers' claims taken up, one of which was that of E. L'Hommedieu for 1,440 acres, a portion of it within the village

and which was later bought by Ebenezer and James Sayre. Other early settlers of the town of Horseheads were Henry Wisner, Caleb Bentley, John Parkhurst, Israel Catlin, Nathan Teal, Col. Brinton Paine, Mordecai Rickey, George Paine, Jacob Powell, Sol- omon Moore, John Tenbrook and Gershom Livesay, John Jackson, Darius Bentley, Jacon Westlake and Samuel D. Westlake.


The years of the canal construction were prosperous ones for the village and town of Horseheads. The village, which had been laid out in 1830, was first incorporated in May, 1837, under the name of Fairport. The name Horseheads was adopted by act of 1845, but in 1885 it was again changed to North Elmira. In 1886 it was once more changed back to Horseheads. A new charter was secured for the village in 1855 and on August 12, 1862, the entire business portion of the village was destroyed by fire. The com- munity immediately rebuilt the village along even more satisfac- tory lines than before.


The town of Horseheads was formed from that of Elmira February 8, 1854, and Samuel H. Maxwell was elected the first supervisor. The post office of the village of Horseheads was estab- lished November 19, 1853, and the first postmaster was Moses P. Breese.


The town of Big Flats was formed from the town of Elmira April 16, 1822. George Shriver and Samuel Minier were early supervisors. The following list of pioneers of this town, taken from Towner's history, contains the names of many whose de- scendants are still living in the town and valley : Christian Minier (Myneer), Caleb Gardner, George Gardner, Eleazer Owen, John Winters, Robert Miller, Roswell Goff, John Goff, Clark Winans, Abram Bennett, John Bennett, William Miller, John L. Sexton, Charles Frye, Elisha Brown, Uzel Goble, John Silsby, Gershom Livesay, Joel Rowley, John F.

Beardsley, Daniel Lord, Samuel Minier, Frederick Woolcott, Ira Minier, Sr., Silas Mills, John Blowers, William White, George Reeser, John J. Barton and Comfort Bennitt. Christian Myneer (or Minier) came up the river with his wife and seven children in 1787 and made the first settlement and improvements in the town.


Richard C. Lockwood was the first supervisor of the town of Ashland, elected at the first election after the erection of the town in 1867. Previous to this time the town had been a part of El- mira, Southport and Chemung. In 1788 Green Bently settled near the site of Wellsburg and two years later the Wells family, the Traceys, Isaac and Henry Baldwin and Ebenezer Green made settlement. Nathan Roberts, Jacob Comfort and David Burt settled about 1800. In 1876 Jacob Lowman came here from Penn- sylvania. Other early comers were: Jesse Carpenter, James Mitchell, Samuel Middaugh, Jonas Gardner, James McKean, Elias Middaugh, Judge Caleb Baker, Elder Roswell Goff and Thomas Keeney. John Hillman and Wilkes Jenkins settled opposite Wells- burg in 1790.


The first settler within the town of Van Etten is thought to have been Joel Thomas, who made his home a mile south of the village site in 1795. Gen. Jacob Swartwood settled in the valley in 1797, and was followed later in the year by his brothers, Isaac and Emanuel, and his father, Peter Swartwood. Other settlers of the town were Daniel Decker, Alexander, John, Emanuel and Benjamin Ennis, Major Samuel Westbrook, John David and Wil- liam Hill, Isaac and Levi Decker, Hiram White, Gabriel and David Jayne, Henry and Abraham Barnes. The town of Van

HISTORY OF THE GENESEE COUNTRY


Etten was erected April 17, 1854, from Erin and Cayuta. Joshua and James Van Etten owned the land occupied by the village in 1798. Adam Schick was a settler in the neighborhood also.


The town of Baldwin was organized April 7, 1856, from the town of Chemung. The first white settlers within the town were Charles and Warren Granger, then came Henry Tice, Jason Ham- mond and his five sons, Peter McCumber, Phineas Blodgett, Simeon Kent, Charles Dunn, Thomas Baldwin and others.


One of the first settlers of the town of Veteran was Green Bently in 1798. He had previously settled near Wellsburg, but purchased land in Baldwin in the year mentioned. Grants of land were given to Preserved Cooley, John Pazley, John Carpen- ter, Henry Wisner and to John Nicholson. The town of Veteran was formed from the town of Catherine April 16, 1823, and the unusual name given to honor the military record of Green Bently, who had served in both the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars.


The town of Erin was formed from the town of Chemung on March 29, 1822, and Alexander McKey was the first supervisor. The first settler in the town was undoubtedly Basil Sperry in 1815. Others of prominence were: John Banfield, Abraham Els- ton, James Elya, Daniel Curtis, Gabriel Curtis, Philip Thomas, James Van Houter, Thomas Van Houter, Isaac Shoemaker, Alex- ander McKey, John McKey, Thomas Baker, James McMillan, William and Robert Stewart, Jeremiah Barnes, Levi Decker, Rob- ert and Alexander Park, Robert and Varnum McDowell, Ardon Austin, Samuel Vaughn, Daniel and James Vaughn, Jesse White, Richard Walker, Isaac Boyer and David Herrington.


The town of Catlin was taken from the town of Catherine and organized April 16, 1823; Horace Tupper was the first super- visor. A list of men who made early settlements in this town would be as follows: John Martin, Aaron Davenport, Benjamin Cure, Charles King, Erastus Beard, Jacob King, Horace Tupper, Edward Beebe, Abel N. Sweet, Andrew Phineas, William Rowley, Darius Wood, Dennison Herrick, Jacob Bucher, James I. Smith, Benjamin Lewis, William Haynes, Uzal Dickerson, Peter Ostran- der, John P.
