Nathan A. Goddard, eldest son of Nathan 3d, was born in Orange, Mass., in 1811 ; was in his 5th year when his father came to the Holland Purchase. At'an early age hired out, and as the country was then a comparative wilderness, chopping trees and clearing lan I formed a very important branch of farming and with most settlers it was the first business ; of course young Nathan shared with other farmer boys in the then common, hard and laborious work. Being young and ambitious, he over-worked, which resulted in impaired health, from which he never fully recovered. He afterwards learned the trade of boot and shoe maker, which avocation was pursued a number of years, or until a further decline in health, when he quit the shoe-bench, and went into the grocery trade, which was carried on for
several years either alone or in partnership. He was for several terms Town Collector, discharging all business put into his care, whether public or private, with fidelity. His wife's maiden name was Betsy Wheeler, fourth daughter of Benjamin Wheeler. They had two children : Nathan A. jr., and Benja- min S. Betsy, the mother, died Nov. 17, 1845, aged thirty- two years. Nathan A., the father, died Sept. 23, 1878, aged sixty-seven years.
Ninth Generation-Nathan A. Goddard, jr., son of Nathan A. 4th, born in Concord, N. Y., followed teaching in the Win- ter season for several terms ; lived in Vermont and Massachu- setts ; graduated at the Boston Normal and Training School of Physical Culture, in 1868; returned to Springville in 1872; went to Philadelphia in 1874; making it his home till 1879 ; returned the same year and is now living at Springville.
Benjamin S. Goddard, second son of Nathan A. 4th, also born in Concord, N. Y., married Ellen Jewett, of Springville.
Their children are : Jessie and Edna, born in Concord, N. Y., and Mamie, born in Philadelphia, Pa.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Benjamin S. Goddard, enlisted in the Union army, Aug. 12, 1862, and served three years. He now resides in Philadelphia.
Edward Goddard, one of the first business men of Spring- ville, in his day, and a brother to Seth W .. was born in Con- cord, N. Y., April 25. 1820. His services were required at home when very young. The older brothers having left the parental roof to cut their own way through the world, his father in poor health, and work that must be performed, Ed- ward could not be spared; had little time for school; in fact such an institution was no place for him. affording no adequate field for the exercise of his ambitious and stirring nature ; with him it was work, action, and business practically ; this passion was then, and ever after, uncontrolable. He began when a mere boy to assume the care and duties of the farm at home, and a few years later, he would hire, or take a neighbor's farm on shares, working them both. When twenty-one years of age, his health failed, was compelled to abandon actual farm labor. At the age of twenty-eight, he came to the village with the small capital of five hundred dollars, and became partner in a grocery store, in which business he continued with but one or two short interruptions for six or eight years; meanwhile he commenced buying cattle in a small way, from one to five or six heads at a time ; soon after these had been disposed of, he would replace them with others, continuing the traffic till at length he was able to purchase a farm, on which he could keep a dairy of twenty or thirty cows. Thus his business and its profits gradually increased, until thirty years later (1879) he possessed farming lands amounting to about fifteen hundred acres. For many years he was one of the Town Assessors, and his judgment of the value of real estate was highly re- garded. He died Dec. 12, 1879.
Calista Goddard, the third daughter of Nathan 3d, and at this time the only surviving member of her father's family, was born in Concord, N. Y. When quite young she commenced teaching in the district school, teaching Summers and working at the tailoress trade during the Fall and Winter season ; this double avocation was followed a number of years. In addition to her own means, which she had acquired by diligence and economy, she inherited a portion of her brother Seth W.'s

property, and at his decease she came in possession of her brother Edward's estate. She immediately assumed the man- agement of the business and its attendant responsibilities, which was conducted the same as before for two years, at which time she decided to distribute among her heirs a portion of her landed property : this she accordingly did, giving to them six or seven farms, amounting in the aggregate to some eleven hundred acres. This act on her part was deemed wise by those disinterested, as she was relieved of a burden of care, affording a period for rest, an opportunity which she is improving by living in comparative case and quiet. Within the last forty years she has faithfully watched over, cared for and ministered to the wants of father, mother and several brothers and sisters during their last sickness.

SPRINGVILLE INCORPORATED.
SPRINGVILLE.
This village was incorporated by an act of the legislature passed April 11, 1834.
As early as 1818 Rufus Eaton, one of its principal founders, caused a map or survey of the village to be made by one George W. Robinson, a surveyor, in which a portion of his lands were divided up into lots, numbering as high as thirty- nine (see map published). For many years lots were sold and conveyed by him by a reference to said map.
Mr. Eaton may be said to have given the name "Spring- ville " to the village, though undoubtedly it was suggested, very appropriately, from the numerous large springs in its imme- diate neighborhood, which made the creek known as Spring brook, on which at an early day were erected mills and manu- factories.
The village, as incorporated, included lots two, three, eight and nine of township six, range six, of the Holland Land com- pany's surveys. The improvements as early as 1818 were mainly confined to lot three, as appears on Mr. Eaton's map.
We have spoken elsewhere of its once popular name, “ Fid- dler's Green," and of its origin.
The first election of village officers under its charter was held May 6, 1834, and the officers elected were :
Trustees-Carlos Emmons, Ebenezer Dibble, Jacob Rush- more, Joseph McMillen, Samuel Cochran.
Assessors-Johnson Bensley, Richard Wadsworth, Theodore Smith.
Clerk-Peter V. S, Wendover. Collector-Mortimer L. Arnold. Treasurer-Pliny Smith. Constable-Freeman Baily.
Pound Master-Abial Gardner.
The Hon. Carlos Emmons was duly appointed President of the Board of Trustees.
Mr. Emmons was a member of the State Legislature in 1834 and was the author of the act of incorporation.
One of the first acts of the Board of Trustees of the village was to cause a resurvey of the several streets within its limits and naming them.
The following are the names given to the several streets within the limits of the village at the time of its incorporation .
542
NEW CHARTER.
Main, Buffalo, Franklin, Cattaraugus, Mill. Water, Waverly, West, Church, White and Smith streets.
In 1836 two new streets were laid out-Elk and Academy.
In 1843 Chapel street was laid out on the north and east side of the old park. Both streets and park were donated to the vil- lage by Rufus Eaton. The park had been donated as early in 1818
In 1851 was laid out Eaton street, and Smith street was continued north to Eaton street,
Amendments were made to the charter of the village from time to time up to 1876, when an entire new charter was made under the supervision of Hon. B. Chafee, who was Member of the Assembly that year, and sundry amendments have since been made.
In 1864 the Springville Rural Cemetery association was or- ganized and the remains within the old burial ground in said village, on the corner of Franklin street and Central avenue, (formerly West street), have recently been removed and re-in- terred in the new cemetery, pursuant to an Act of the Legisla- ture, passed in 1883, and the village has decided to take and hold the old burial ground for village purposes.
The recent Rail Roads, Springville & Sardinia Narrow Guage and the Buffalo Extension of the Rochester & Pitts- burgh Rail Road, has given to the village an impetus to growth and prosperity which will soon place the village second to none of the villages in Western New York.

COLLINS.
Nearly eighty years ago The Friends Yearly 'Meeting sent a mission to Cattaraugus Reserve, for the very laudable purpose of instructing the untutored red-man in the arts of civilization. That mission was composed of Jacob Taylor, Stephen Twin- ing and Hannah Jackson. The exact date of their advent there is not definitely known. They came as members of one family, under the management of Jacob Taylor. He located on lot seventy, adjoining the Reserve; this was in 1806 or 1807, and consequently the wild state of this rich and prosper- ous town must far exceed all our pre-conceived ideas. It is true that the Indians had a trail that led the indomitable Taylor and his two co-workers to their new home that for years must necessarily be shut off from civilization by the vast forests that environed it on all sides. Many a stouter heart would have quailed and turned back, but Jacob Taylor was a God-fearing man, who fully believed in the good old Quaker doctrine of universal brotherhood, and even to this day, the influences im- parted by him are felt and followed. For years he was sole arbiter of all contentions that arose in the settlement, and his decisions, though some of them were novel, hardly ever failed to satisfy.
He built the first saw and grist-mill south of the Eighteen- mile creek, and at one time he owned a great deal of land which upon his death was divided among his nephews and nieces.
Of those who were next to follow, we find the names of Tur- ner Aldrich, Stephen Lapham, Joshua Parmeston, Stephen
