HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS

James Cowee was born in the COWEE old world in 1726 or 1727 of unknown parentage. He died April 29, 1801. He was the ancestor of those distinguished by that name in this vicinity, if not in the entire country. While yet a lad, as the story goes, his mother died. A step- mother coming into the family did not take kindly to him or his brother Bartholomew, but neglected and abused them. The father, as they grew older, conceived the idea of sending them to America to seek their for- tunes and work out their destinies. He made an arrangement with the captain of a vessel about to sail thither, a warm personal friend of his, to take the youths with him, paying him liberally for their passage and entrusting him with additional funds to be given them when they should disembark, as a means of getting a start in the new land. During the voyage Bartholomew, the younger brother, died, which was a sad misfortune to the sur- vivor. The captain of the ship proved recreant to his trust, betraying the confidence of his friend and cheating an innocent, destitute and needy young man, a stranger in a strange land, out of his rightful due. He not only withheld from the lad what he had received from the father for the sons' special use to be paid upon landing here, but actually sold him into temporary service, as the custom sometimes was in those days, for the second payment of the passage money across the sea. After the term of servitude he worked his way iback into the country among the new settle- ments, tarrying here and there as he could find employment, at length reaching Chocksett (now Sterling), where he remained a while, but ere long he came to Narragansett No. 2, where October 1, 1750, he bought of Rev. Elisha Marsh lot number 96. He at once be- gan improvements, cleared six acres, erected a good cellar house, set out an orchard and had things well under way before the follow- ing July. Ile was an industrious, skillful, prosperous farmer, a man of much independ- ence and force of character, becoming one of the largest land holders of the town and hav- ing one of the most valuable residences at the time of the levying of the general United States tax in 1798.

The maternal line of the MeKie

McKIE family of Cambridge, New York, traces to Phineas Whiteside, born June 31, 1716, in county Tyrone, Ireland, died in the town of Cambridge, Washington county, New York, 1793. Hle came to the Ameri- can colonies about the year 1736 with his brother, landing at Philadelphia, and making settlement in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He was a man of education and maintained a private school, which he taught until he moved from the state. He was Protestant in religion and probably a Covenanter, if the

fact that he was associated with John Cul- bertson, may be taken as evidence. John Culbertson was a Scotch Covenanter and mis- sionary. In 1764 or 1766 he came to Wash- ington county on a mission to the Secession church. He was accompanied on this long and perilous trip by Phineas Whiteside, who made permanent location in West Cambridge. He purchased a tract of fourteen hundred acres which he cleared in part and cultivated. The war of the revolution prevented his get- ting title to the land which he held on per- petual lease at a rental of one shilling per acre. The land was not held in "fee simple" until 1877, when it was purchased. As his sons came of age he gave them each two hundred acres of land. The homestead he erected is still standing and owned by a de- scendant, Mrs. Catherine Hobson. He was a very patriotic man and during the war of the revolution espoused with fervor the colo- nial cause, subscribing one thousand pounds to aid the colonial government. He also ex- erted himself in behalf of some soldiers who were being tried for desertion. He defended them with much skill and restored them to their commands. His wife at her death left one hundred pounds for the erection of a church in the locality, other members of the family contributed enough to complete it. It has always been known as the "Whiteside church." . He married Ann Cooper, while yet a resident of Pennsylvania. Children, the sons all settled on farms in the town: John, of further mention; William, married Lois Freeman; Peter, married Ann Robertson; Thomas, married Betsey Cramer; Edward, married Ann French: Ann, married Thomas- Cochrane; Oliver, married Susanna Pender- gast.

(II) John, son of Phineas and Ann (Coop- er) Whiteside, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, 1752. He came to Washing- ton county with his parents in 1764 or 1766 and became a prosperous farmer of the coun- ty. He married Margaret Robertson. Chil- dren: Elizabeth; Phineas, married Abigail Hunt ; Thomas J., married Sophia Morse ; Ann, married Peter McMurray ; Robertson, married Maria Pendergast ; Catherine, of fur- ther mention.
