Prominent among the comers of 1812, or earlier, were John Hollis- ter, John Eno, Alexander Campbell, and James Easton, all whom lo- cated at the upper landing; Simeon Coe, who settled at Strong's Cor- ners and died in 1832 in Palermo ; John Kendall, the father of Jacob and Otis Kendall, just east of Volney Center; and Ira Ives and Dr. Strickland at the upper landing. Mr. Ives, the tenth child of John Ives, was born in Wallingford, Conn., July 16, 1791, and died March 10, 1880. His children were John, Sarah, Andrus, Chauncey, Lewis, George G., and Ira P., of whom the latter resides on the homestead, and George G. a short distance north. His wife, Hannah Richmond, died in 1873. Otis Kendall was one of twelve children, was born in Paris, N.Y., March 21, 1811, and died August 23, 1887.

During the war with England Capt. Asa Whitney raised a com- pany of militia, which included most of the men of Volney, and with them took part in the engagement at Oswego on May 5, 1814. On that day, while the thunder of cannon rolled up the valley, the re- maining inhabitants held a "grand council," to decide whether they should flee or remain. They determined to stay and brave it out. This conflict checked the tide of immigration, and the cold season 99

which followed it, in 1816, added materially to the general suffering. But the people quickly recovered from these calamities, old and new enterprises flourished and peace and plenty everywhere prevailed.

In 1813 a few prominent men came into the town, among the num- ber being James Lyon, Daniel Falley, John, Freeman, Joel, and Joseph Gasper, David Osborn, Eliphalet Trembly, and Abram Bell. Mr. Lyon was a slave-holder, as the following entry taken from the town records shows :

I certify that Bell, a negro woman, a slave belonging to me, had a male child on the 27th day of July last, whose name is Richard, or Dick.

(Signed) JAMES LYON. VOLNEY, 26th February, 1817.

The certificate was recorded by Mr. Lyon to save himself from in- curring a penalty under the law. He was interested with Judge For- man in the Oswego Falls State Reservation and also in Harper's loca- tion. He opened a store soon after his arrival, was engaged in the lumber trade for several years, took charge of the mill owned by the State, entered into the forwarding business, and finally moved to Oswego, where he became an extensive mill owner and shipper. Dan- iel Falley owned at one time a large portion of the site of Fulton village, and was the first class-leader of the M. E. church here in 1813. He was the father of Lewis and Hon. George F. Falley, who were long prominently identified with the town.

The Gaspers came with their widowed mother, and sister Mary, from Pittsfield, Mass. John Gasper had twelve children. He served at Oswego and Henderson Harbor in the war of 1812, formed and equipped a company of militia at his own expense, and rose to the rank of colonel. He first settled on 110 acres of land and later had a tavern at Volney. About 1852 he removed from his farm to Fulton, where he kept a hotel for thirty years, and where he died October 24, 1877, aged eighty-five. Freeman Gasper, born in Ashford, Conn., in Novem- ber, 1794, officiated as steward, class-leader, and Sabbath school super- intendent at Mount Pleasant many years, and died in Fulton on June I, 1888. He was the father of Freeman S. (a son in-law of Ephraim Beardsley) and Mrs. John Van Buren. David Osborn and Eliphalet Trembly, from Albany, settled near Orchard Lock. Abram Bell, from Massachusetts, located in the south part of the town.

THE TOWN OF VOLNEY AND VILLAGE OF FULTON.

The only settler of 1814 seems to have been Benjamin Emory, a native of New Hampshire, though Peter Althouse, jr., was born here in this year. In 1815 William Ingell, Joseph Chesbro, Josiah Hull, .James Campbell, and the Sheldon family came in. Mr. Ingell was born in Chester, Mass., in 1792. He held several town offices, had seven children, and died June 19, 1873. He located upon 150 acres of land at what is called " Ingell's Crossing." His son William F. served in the Rebellion and died January 1, 1894. Mr. Chesbro was the father of James Chesbro, who married Mary C., daughter of William Ingell, and of Thomas W. Chesbro, who died January 18, 1885. Thomas W. Chesbro came here with his father and became an extensive contractor with Charles G. Case, with whom he purchased the Genesee Mills, and with whom he was associated in the Citizens' bank. Josiah Hull came from Paris, N. Y, and settled in the fifteenth township. James Camp- bell migrated from Massachusetts and settled near William Ingell, whose sister he married. He moved to North Volney in 1824 and died there April 17, 1868, aged eighty years. His son Ira occupies the homestead and another son, James, lives in Palermo.

Jason S. Markham, a blacksmith, was born in Madison, N. Y., May 6, 1814, came to Volney with his father, Isaac, in 1816, and is still liv- ing in town. Isaac Markham settled on lot 63, and died January 9, 1859. Jason S. Markham followed his trade here, in Oswego, and from 1838 to 1848 in Madison county, and in the latter year returned and purchased 300 acres of timber land and built a saw mill. He had five children. Another settler of 1816 was Lyman Patterson, who was born in Vermont March 28, 1794, and who located near Fulton, where he bought seventy acres of timber land and engaged in house painting in the village. He died May 24, 1879. Kingsbury E. Sanford also came in 1816 and settled in the sixteenth township. Elisha Candee arrived as early as 1816 and was the first merchant at Volney Center-the first' outside the village of Fulton. He was the father of Levi Candee, who resides at the Center.

Aaron G. Fish came to Fulton with his father, Aaron, a tailor, in 1817. He was born in Groton, Conn., July 24, 1794, and arriving here leased the mill owned by the State, in which he manufactured flour for five years. He also began manufacturing woolen fabrics, a business

he continued about twenty- eight years, carrying on a hundred acre farm in the mean time where a part of the village now stands. He again engaged extensively in the manufacture of flour in the Volney Mills, and for two years was superintendent of the Oswego Canal. The re- mainder of his active life was devoted to farming and manufacturing cloth. He was a life-long Democrat and served as supervisor, justice of the peace, and for twenty years as police justice of the village, of which he was the first president. He was also a loan commissioner. From 1820 until his death, September II, 1877, he was a prominent member of the Baptist church. John Patten, another settler of 1817, came from Herkimer county and located at North Volney. His death occurred De- cember 7, 1868, aged ninety-two. His son Stephen, the last of the family, died September 7, 1878, at the age of eighty years.

In this year (1817) a conflagration swept through the heavy forests im- mediately adjoining the settlements along the river, destroying large quantities of valuable timber, some of which remained standing many years afterward, monuments of that terrible fire.

In 1818 Halsey Hubbard, who was born in Pittsfield, Mass , in 1801, came to Hubbard's Corners with his father, Rev. Thomas Hubbard, who died January 7, 1850. He was a shoemaker, which trade he followed until 1830. He had six children, and died May 5, 1875.

Hon. Willard Johnson is the son of Lovwell Johnson (see bench and bar chapter), and was born in Volney May 16, 1820. Educated at the Mexico Academy and Cazenovia Seminary, he engaged in the lake and canal transpostion business in 1852, and later became an extensive contractor on government works. He has been a life-long Democrat. In 1862 he was elected to the Assembly, and later served two years on the War Committee of Oswego county. He has served as supervisor and assemblyman several years, and is still living in Fulton, a respected citizen and a widely known Democratic " war horse."

Other settlers of the town prior to this period were Joel W. Crosby (who came here with his parents and died in May, 1886), William Bar- rett, Laton Baker, the father of O. R. Smith, and J. M. Spafford (who died in Fulton, October 2, 1894).

At this time (1820) the town contained about 2,000 inhabitants. The Oswego Canal had been projected, and the preliminary survey was

completed this year. The fisheries at the head and foot of the rapids had become an important part of the business of the place. D. L. Bates, the engineer in charge of the canal surveys and river improve- ments, in his report of September 21, 1820, stated ;

" From information, the correctness of which I have no reason to doubt, the weirs and fisheries of different kinds on the Oswego Falls reef alone produce about 1,000 bar- rels of eels annually, independent of other fish, which may be estimated at half that quantity. The price of a barrel of eels at its lowest is $10, other fish are probably worth more, but say ten, and we have for an estimate $15,000 as the product of the Oswego Falls reef."

Anent this subject Amos G. Hull, in Brigham's Directory and History of this region, published in 1862, says : "Dams were afterwards built, but to relieve the minds of epicures in the silver eel line it is proper to state that a nice industrious old fisherman, and worthy man too, has continned to this time, regardless of the dams, to take the eels below the Falls to the annual value of from $300 to $1,000. Another old gen- tleman, who was a sturdy boy living there at the close of the last century, takes about the same amount below Bradstreet's rift every year."

During the decade between 1820 and 1830 the following, among others, became residents of the town and village : Stephen Sikes, Levi Carrier, Ebenezer Ball, Samuel Holbrook, Andrew Druce, Sanford Pat- rick, Ephraim Beardsley, Samuel Crombie, L. R. Clark, Franklin Col- lins, Albert Howard, S. B. Storrs, Nelson Sears, Rev. G. F. Sherman, Elias Thomas, Hiram Bradway, J. C. De Graw, H. N. Gilbert, H. W. Smith, H. N. Sabin, Daniel Rogers, G. C. Lathrop, and Frederick Seymour. Stephen Sikes moved here in 1820 and died in town Octo- ber 3, 1879, aged over ninety-seven years. He has three grandsons living at North Volney. Sandford Patrick is now the oldest resident of that locality, having lived in this town since about 1821. Ebenezer Ball came on foot from Windsor, Mass., in 1823, and was the father of Gordon D. Ball (long time a surveyor and engineer in Fulton), and also of Marshall and Seymour Ball. He purchased a farm of Roger S. Nelson near Volney Center, and died in July, 1889, aged ninety. Ephraim Beardsley served as justice of the peace four terms from 1833 and was the father of A. L. Beardsley, now living in town. Samuel Crombie, Elias Thomas, Frederick Seymour, and Samuel Holbrook all arrived in 1827. The former is a brother of the lawyer, James Crombie, and came with his father, William, from Otsego county, settling in the north part of the town. In 1844 he removed to Fulton village, where

he still resides, at the age of eighty-five. He has been secretary of Mt. Adnah Cemetery since the organization of that association, and served as justice twenty years. Elias Thomas was born in Herkimer county in 1802, and became a captain in the old State militia. He was a farmer and settled near the line between Volney and Schroeppel. Mr. Seymour was born in Hartford, Conn., September 25, 1799, and died here in December, 1883. Coming to Fulton he formed a partner - ship with George Salmon and Dorman Felt and started a furnace, which they continued until 1838, when he purchased the Seymour farm on the Whitaker road. About 1875 he returned to Fulton. Samuel Holbrook came from Pompey, Onondaga county, and settled east of North Volney, and died over twenty years ago. His son, Benton, occu- pies the homestead. Andrew Druce became a settler at what was called Druce's Corners in 1829 and died at the age of about ninety-three years. His sons were Varnum, Russell, Reuben, Andrew, jr., and Benjamin.

On the 4th of July, 1826, the corner stone of the first lock on the Oswego Canal was laid with impressive Masonic ceremonies at Fulton, . a few feet from the northwest corner of the brick block more recently occupied by R. T. Jones. The president of the day was Jonathan Case, a contractor who came here about that time, and the orator was Hon. David P. Brewster, of Oswego, who delivered his oration from the hill just north of the M. E. church. Peter Schenck read the Declaration of In- dependence, and Hastings Curtiss acted as marshal, being assisted by Kingsbury E. Sandford. Dinner was served on block 26, just east of the Fulton House, which was kept at that time by Levi Carrier. The cannon used, an eighteen-pounder, exploded in the afternoon, but without serious results. The canal was completed in 1828. It aided greatly the subsequent growth and development of the town, and par- ticularly of Fulton village. The great water-power, theretofore con- trolled by the State, passed into the hands of individual owners, and thenceforward was more valuably employed.

From 1830 to 1840 the more prominent settlers were :

Timothy Pratt, Walter Wilber, Ira Carrier, Samuel Hart, John H. Distin, Ferdinand V. Taft, Sands N. Kenyon, Frederick D. Van Wagenen, Charles P. Tucker, John Stevens, Frederick Wells, Otis J. and A.

temesia Waterhouse, afterward Mrs. Ichabod Brackett, in 1800 and 1801. Subsequently a Mr. McDonald and Ebenezer Wright kept school in a part of Major Van Valkenburgh's house at Orchard Lock. In 1808 Asahel Bush procured the services of Benjamin Robinson, then living in Jamesville, Onondaga county, who taught in the neighborhood until 1812. In 1810 he had a school in the major's barn. The first school house in the town was built near the old Van Buren residence at Orchard Lock in that year, and in it Mr. Robinson was the first teacher. In 1811 another school building was erected on Steen's loca- tion, on what is now the corner of First and Rochester streets in Fulton, which was designed to accommodate the entire Portage settlement. Afterward a division was effected and each landing became a separate school district. In 1811 a small frame school house was erected at Volney Center and in 1820 a second one was put up there; in the first Mrs. Sally Dean was an early teacher. In 1817 a school house was built at Hubbard's Corners, and another on the four corners near what was then Josiah Hull's residence. In the latter Elizabeth Richmond (afterward Mrs. Thomas), was an early teacher. Of her pupils nine be- came ministers of the gospel. About the same time a school building was also erected in the south part of the town. A new school house was built at the Lower Landing in 1817, and in 1822 the old red school house, which did service for so many years, was erected on the corner of State and Second streets in Fulton village. In 1823 and 1824 a school was taught in a shanty about one mile east of Druce's Corners, and in 1825 a log structure was erected at North Volney. The first frame school house was built at that point in 1834 and in it Mary Ann Sikes became the first teacher; a second frame school building was erected there in 1866. In 1838 the town had nine whole and four joint school districts, which were attended by 644 children. Anson Fay and Stephen Pardee were school commissioners. In 1840 the number of districts had increased to fourteen whole and six joint districts, and the scholars to 1,028, with T. H. Hubbard, Anson Fay, and H. N. Gaylord as commissioners. The teachers' wages amounted to $599.83, library money received, $190.33, and all other funds, $762; number of vol- umes in the libraries, 511. In 1843 Amos G. Hull became the first town superintendent of common schools; he was followed by Dr.
