In an interview with Charles F. Mulks in 1879, and then written down, Eli Boice gave the following information: Eli came in when thirteen years old with his father, Abraham. The latter bought out Captain Robison, who lived on the Smiley farm. 1 Old Henry Quick and Moses and Simeon Schoonmaker were then living near; Moses where his son Jacob now lives, and Simeon on the McWhorter place. Prince, brother of Thomas Tracey, had lived up there previously but had gone away. Spencer Hungerford was then living on the present Camp Reed farm, but afterwards moved to the place named after him. John Mulks's first log house was then standing, and Ben Eighmey, father of Thomas

and Philip, was then living in it. Moses Cass was living on the pres- ent Norwood farm. John Mulks was then engaged in building his grist mill, borrowing most of the money for the purpose. He and his son Daniel did most of the mill work. He also operated a distillery. The Sloughter family lived on the hill on what is now the south part of John Rightmire's farm. The Sloughters sold to Thomas Bush, when the latter ran the saw mill, one hundred splendid pine logs for an old bull's-eye watch, worth now perhaps $2.50. Charles Mulks, brother of John, was noted for raising large crops of fine wheat. Eli Boice bought the Norwood farm from the younger John James Speed.
John Taft, of Worcester county, Mass., a soldier of the war of 1812, settled in 1820 in the south part of the town, where he died in 1876. His son, William H., was seeond lieutenant in the 137th Regiment in the late war, and died of fever at Harper's Ferry.
An interview written by Mr. Mulks and had by him with T. M. Boyer in 1879, furnishes the following reminiseences: When Augus- tine Boyer came north in 1803 he eame on horseback and alone. Mr. Boyer left home in May and in August purchased 1,000 acres of land of Mr. Pumpelly, the agent of Samuel William Johnson, of Stratford, Conn. Mr. Boyer hired Elisha Doty to build him a log house, and then started for his home in Maryland. The journey required eight days; this was in August, 1803. He came back in the fall with a horse and cart and a negro boy named Jerry Blackman; they passed the winter together in the log house. When Mr. Boyer settled here he was unmarried, but in 1805 married into the Comegyes family, of Maryland. Hugh Boyer, a distant relative, came in with Augustine and located on what became the Brink farm. The first land sold by Mr. Boyer from his original 1,000 acres was to James Livermore within a few years after the first purchase. This was at Caroline Center, and Livermore's cabin was built a few rods in rear of the site of Sharrad Slater's house; he sold out a few years later and went west. Mr. Boyer acted for a time as land agent for S. W. Johnson, and in that capacity sold to Jonas Rhoode his land on Brearley Hill (elsewhere mentioned). About the time of the war of 1812, when T. M. Boyer was six years old, there was a small frame school house in the corner formed by the turnpike and the level Green road at Tobey's, where he attended school to Abiathar Rounsvell. He also attended at a school kept by Rev. Mr. Mandeville near Caroline Center in what was called "the Old City," from the fact of the several houses built near cach

other by J. J. Speed, sr. The "New City" was where Mr. Speed built some mills. Mr. Boyer attended sehool in 1820 to Benjamin Walter in the sehool house above mentioned on the turnpike. One day when the elder Mr. Boyer was going through the woods from his house to the lower place where he afterwards lived, he saw a bear standing on his hind legs pulling down wild eherry limbs and eating the cherries. Although Mr. Boyer had a loaded gun with him, he for- got for a moment to use it; he hallooed at the bear and the animal ran away. Deer were also very plentiful, but Mr. Boyer would never kill one of them.
George Blair, Nathan Pateh, Sabin Mann, and a few others, were all from near Woreester, Mass., and settled on new land before the war of 1812, which they cleared. Blair settled there in 1809, as a single man, and also did Sabin Mann. Mann was drafted in the war and killed, and Blair married his widow. Austin Blair, Miehigan's war governor, and William H. Blair were his sons, the latter reeeiving the family homestead.
Reuben Legg, from Massachusetts, was the aneestor of the Legg family, and settled on the Stearns farm below the hill from Speedsville. He had seven sons.
Lyman Rawson came from Vermont, as did also the father of Lyman Cobb. Timothy Tyler, father of Hiram W. Tyler, was also from Ver- mont, and a brother-in-law of Rawson.
The Widow Jemima Personius Vandemark eame to Caroline and settled with a large family on land bought by herself on Bald Hill and owned in late years by one of her grandsons. Her husband had been killed about a year before by the aeeidental discharge of a gun while on the way to join the army in the war of 1812. She lived on Bald Hill until her death in 1855.
Silas Lason was the early settler on the present James Mandeville farm. He lived there many years and reared a family of sons. The family removed to Virgil, and were suceceded on the farm by Cornelius Terwilleger, from Ulster eounty. He also had a number of sons.
James Personius, a Revolutionary soldier, was the ancestor of the Personius family of Caroline, eoming to the town late in life. The names of his sons who were early residents in the town were Ephraim, Isaiah, Isaac, Cornelius and James, jr. The latter was a soldier in the war of 1812. The Widow Vandemark (elsewhere men-

tioned) was a daughter of the elder James Personius, and settled on Bald Hill after the war of 1812. Cornelius Personius was a noted hunter and is said to have shot two deer at one shot, eighty rods dis- tant, with a rifle which he borrowed of Benoni Mulks.
Henry Krum, sr., in a written interview informed Mr. Mulks in 1879 that old Aaron Cass, who lived first on the Hasbrouck farm and after- wards on the Mc Master farm at Ellis Hollow, whence he was drafted into the war of 1812 to return no more, was the father of a large family. Of the sons there were Josiah, Aaron, jr., Moses and John. One daughter married Solomon Freer, and was the mother of G. G. Freer; another married Milo Hurd, and another Isaac Tecrs. Josiah Cass built the tavern so long kept by his uncle, Aaron Bull. Aaron and Jolin Cass went to Canada. Moses Cass operated a distillery and made whisky on the farm. John James Speed also had a distillery on the Sam Jones farm near Speedsville; and a man named Isaac Kipp oper- ated one at Rawson Hollow. There were two William Motts. The first was a large man and lived at " Tobeytown." He was the father of Harry Mott and of Mrs. Abram Krum and Mrs. Landon Krum.
Erastus Humphrey gave in 1884 the following reminiscences to Mr. Mulks, which the latter wrote at the time: Roswell Humphrey, sr., the father of a large family, came to Connecticut Hill, near Speedsvillc, from Connecticut, in December, 1812. He settled on 100 acres of land, part of the Livingston tract, which he bought of Laban Jenks. The latter had owned 400 acres in one tract, which he sold off to several purchasers. A daughter of Roswell Humphrey had married Luman Case, who settled on what is now G. M. Bull's farm, on Connecticut Hill in the spring of 1811. Roswell Humphrey died in 1838 at the age of seventy-three years. He had ten children, one of whom was Eras- tus. Some of them became quite prominent in various ways.
Dana and Lyman Crum settled on Connecticut Hill in the spring of 1811 at the same time with Liman Case; they were the first to locate therc. These Crums spelled their names with a "C," while other families of the name spelled it with a " K."
Samuel Leet, father of a large family, also came from Connecticut and settled on Connecticut Hill. There were eight sons and four daughters in the family.
Two brothers, Laban and Elisha Jenks, and Michael Jenks, a cousin of these, all from Worcester, Mass., settled early on Owego Creek, near Speedsville, and their descendants were once numerous, and of whom
284

some remain in the town. They probably arrived here about 1800. Samuel Jenks, of the same stock, came in the year after the Humphreys (1814). Laban Jenks settled first below Speedsville on the Berkshire side of the creek. This land he traded for 400 acres covering most of the site of Speedsville. There he opened a little store and began to barter with those around him, thus gathering a little hamlet which was called "Jenksville." The transition of this name to Speedsville is else- where described. Mr. Jenks had a large family of boys. He removed to Michigan about 1825.
Moses and Simeon Schoonmaker were brothers who came from Ulster county and settled in the Schoonmaker district probably not far from 1812. Moses was the father of Jacob and lived where the latter did in late years. Simeon lived on the David Mcwhorter place and was the father of Garrett and De Witt Schoonmaker.
Moses Roe told Mr. Mulks in 1880 that his great-grandfather, William Roe, settled below Mott's Corners about 1800, and for their first milling they went to Owego; that was before the Cantine mill was ready. William Roe was in the Revolutionary war, after which he was a mer- chant on Long Island, and later bought land in this town, about 400 acres, or half of Hinepaugh's location of 800 acres. He had sons, Isaac, William, Gamaliel and John. Gamaliel was the father of Philip Roe, and the descendants of William have reached four generations.
According to statement of John Brearley, his father, Joseph Brearley, was among the first to settle on Brearley Hill, coming there from Lansing in 1811. He located a mile above Jonas Rhoode, who settled three years earlier; he was from Massachusetts.
Philip D. Hornbeck said in 1879 that William Mott 2d, so long a leading business man of Mott's Corners, and who was then living at Watkins at the age of eighty years, learned the carpenter's trade of Ira Tillotson, of Ithaca, who built the Methodist church on Aurora street and the Tompkins House. William Mott afterwards owned six saw mills along Six Mile Creek and also several farms. He did a large lumber business, but eventually failed. The lower mill at Mott's Corners was built by him, and afterwards burned down. He afterwards bought the old Cantine Mill at the falls, and turned the old mill into a plaster mill, and built a large grist mill on the site on the north side of the falls, which he operated a number of years. In later years Mr. Mott removed to Ithaca and lived on State street, and re- moved from there to Watkins.

Caroline has the honor of being the home of Lyman Cobb, author of Cobb's Spelling Book, which is well remembered by persons fifty years old and upwards. Mr. Cobb taught school at Slaterville in a small school house which stood on the farm of Charles Mulks, now owned by John Boice. Mr. Cobb taught there about two years, and during that time compiled his spelling book, the first edition of which was issued in 1819. Several of the neighboring farmers helped him to publish the book, among whom were Levi Slater, Erastus Benton, of Berkshire, Isaac Stillwell and Charles and John Mulks. Mack & Andrus, of Ithaca, were the publishers for New York and the Middle States, and millions of copies of the book were printed in this and other States. Cobb sold the copyright to several parties in New England, the South- ern and Western States. Mr. Cobb afterwards compiled other school books.
Peter Lounsbery, father of Cantine, Edward and Richard Lounsbery, came from Ulster county in 1820 and settled where Richard's widow now lives. He was a prominent citizen, member of assembly in 1844, etc. Charles Cooper came in 1816 and settled on a farm. His sons were William, J. A. D., and Hiram Cooper.
About the year 1828 a Mr. Terry lived on the corner where Smith Stevens now lives, about half a mile west of the site of Caroline depot. Mr. Terry was made postmaster in about 1835 by the President, and the post-office was named "Terryville;" it was probably the first post-office between Ithaca and Owego. Mr. Terry was removed by President Jackson, as a result of a petition gotten up by William Mott charging Terry with being what is now-a-days termed an " offensive partisan." The office was, therefore, removed to "Mott's Hollow " about a year after it was established and named Mott's Corners, and William Mott 2d was the first postmaster. Eugene Terry, of the sur- rogate's office in Ithaca, is a grandson of Postmaster Terry.
A man who, with his descendants, exerted considerable influence upon the town of Caroline was Charles H. Morrell. He was an early settler in the town of Lansing, near Lake Ridge, and eventually died there. He went there from New Jersey. About 1832 he bought of John J. Speed, sr., two large farms in Caroline. In his lifetime Mr. Morrell, and his sons after him, were noted for successful shecp hus- bandry and were the most extensive shcep breeders and dealers in Central New York. In his will Charles II. Morrell bequeathed his large sheep herd, about 2,000 head, to his sons and daughters; 800 to

Henry K., of Caroline; 500 each to Lewis A. and Charles H., jr., of Lansing, and 200 to his daughter. To his son Henry K. he also willed the Speed farm in Caroline, now owned by F. C. Cornell. To his daughter, wife of J. J. Speed, jr., he gave a large farm in Caroline. L. A. Morrell became very active and prominent in sheep husbandry, and was the author of a valuable work on that subject. Henry K. Morrell removed from the town about 1860.
Marlin Merrill came from Connecticut in 1830 and settled first at Mott's Corners, and afterwards on the farm where Charles Bogardus lived. Michael C. Krum came in from Ulster county in 1838 and set- tled where he now lives. In the same year Eleazer Goodrich, father of Levi L. Goodrich, came in from Berkshire, Tioga county, where he had settled in 1820. George Blair, father of Austin Blair, settled early on the Blair farm. The names of many other early and later residents of the town will be mentioned in the account of the villages and in the biographic department of this volume.
T. M. Boyer told Charles F. Mulks in 1880 that the winter of 1835-6 was remarkable for its deep snow. It began snowing January 1 and continued four consecutive days. During the winter not less than ten feet of snow fell. There were many deer about Shandaken and a man named Gilman hunted them on snow shoes. He went to Ithaca and contracted to deliver there six or eight deer within a specified short time, the Ithacans not believing he could fulfill and thinking they would have a joke on him. He delivered the deer on time and de- manded his money.
The Six Mile Creek rises in Dryden and its whole course is about sixteen or seventeen miles. There have been twenty-three mill sites on the stream since the country was settled, including saw and grist mills. There have been fifteen saw mills, seven grist mills, two or three woolen mills, a gun factory, and a few small cider mills operated at sundry times. There are now only two or three saw mills and one grist mill, water and steam being used in some cases.
The " Bottom Mill," so called, on the upper Six Mile Creek, was a saw mill built by by Elijah Powers in 1808 and was one of the first saw mills built on that stream. Powers lived on the Chauncey L. Scott farm, which after him was owned by a Mr. Haskins. The Bottom Mill passed into the hands of the Van Pelts, who operated it a long time until it was worn out. The mill stood at the upper branches of Six Mile Creek.

Ephraim Chambers, John Robison, Abram Blackman and Dr. Joseph Speed were the first justices of the peace in this town, appointed by the Board of Supervisors and judges of Common Pleas jointly. The office was made elective by the people in 1827. The first justices elected were Dr. James Ashley (one year), Milo Heath (two years), Aaron Curtis (three years), and Silas Hutchinson (four years).
When Caroline was set off from Spencer and separately organized in 1811, all the preliminaries were satisfactorily agreed upon, but the people could not agree upon the name. It was proposed and assented to that the spelling book should be taken and opened and the first female name they should find should be the name of the town. At the same time John Cantine and Dr. Speed agreed that the first girl that should thereafter be born in the family of either should be named Caroline. Diana Caroline Specd became Mrs. Vincent Conrad, and Caroline Cantine a Mrs. Giddings. Both have been dead many years.
In 1813 there was still a large part of the town assessed and taxed as non-resident lands. The largest of these non-resident owners was Samuel W. Johnson, of Stratford, Conn. He owned 1800 acres in one solid body in the southwest corner, embracing the whole of the lands since known as the Pugsley, Ridgway, Lane, and several lesser farms.
In round numbers the assessed valuation of residents was, in 1813, $88,553; and of non-residents, $27,828. This was the second year after the town was organized.
Following is a list of the principal officers of this town for 1894: William K. Boice, supervisor, Slaterville Springs; Charles E. Meeks, town clerk, Brookton; William P. Rich, collector, Caroline; George H. Nixon, justice of the peace, Speedsville; Charles Lewis, constable, Speedsville; John E. Van Etten, constable, Brookton; Adelbert M. Dedrick, constable, Slaterville Springs; Elnathan H. Card, constable, Slaterville Springs.

SLATERVILLE. - This small village is situated on Six Mile Creek, on the northern line of the town. The derivation of its name and most of the early settlers have been already mentioned. Others who may properly be mentioned as residents early and at later time in that vicinity were John Robison, Robert Freeland, Lemuel Yates, Francis Norwood and others.
With the establishment of the early mills and mercantile stores, and the organization of churches and schools, most of which have been de- scribed, the hamlet grew to a few hundred inhabitants and remained in about that condition many years. The post-office was established in 1823, with John Robison as postmaster; he also kept a tavern at the time. The present official in the office is Mrs. E. M. Wattles, who has had it continuously since 182.
In 1816 or 181: John Robison and Mr. Hedges built a tannery and operated it a few years; it stood on the site of the present barn of Carns's Hotel. Robison and Hedges were succeeded in the business by Milo and James Heath, who continued it many years. The Heath family, father and brothers, came from Connecticut originally, but re- moved to Caroline from Delhi, N. Y., in 1818, and were long influential men in the town.
About the same time Isaac Miller built a frame store across the road from the tannery and began trade; he died soon afterwards.
Levi Slater was his successor, and carried on trade there about eight years. Between 1816 and 1820 the little village saw its greatest pros- perity, at least until the discovery of the merits of the Magnetic Springs. This event took place about 18:1, when a well was sunk by Dr. William Gallagher. The waters of these springs contain a large percentage of mineral constituents, and have proved efficacious in the cure of many diseases. The Slaterville House was a hotel built many years ago and kept at various periods by Zophar T. McLusky, James Hall, Richard Freer. S. Edward Green, George Clark. Josephus Bullman, Josephus Hasbrouck, and perhaps others. When the springs began to be devel- oped, and the reputation of the waters became known, W. J. Carns took this house. renamed it the Magnetic Springs House, enlarged and improved it, beautified the grounds, drilled for a supply of the water, and opened it to the public. He has kept the house ever since.

The Fountain House was built by Hornbeck & Benjamin Brothers in 1872, and in 1875 was sold to Moses Dedrick. Mr. Carns is now also conducting this house, having purchased it of Harrison Halstead.
A flouring mill was built at Slaterville in 1820 by Solomon Robison, who rebuilt it in 1836. It was burned in 1863, and three years later the second mill was erected by Jason D. Atwater. This mill was burned down in 1891 and not rebuilt.
In 1818 an old frame school house stood on the land of Charles Mulks. It was partly demolished and rendered useless by a party of mischievous boys, and in the next winter school was taught in the old Freer log house in Slaterville, and in the following year (1828) the " Red School House " was built.
A store is now kept by John Bull, and W. D. Post deals in hardware. SPEEDSVILLE .- The settlement of this small village and the events connected therewith have been already described. The place was known in early ycars as " Jenksville," from Laban Jenks, an early settler. About the year 1835 a movement was started to secure a post- office there under that name, the inhabitants not taking kindly to the removal of the office which had already been opened under the name of Speedsville down to the old road whither John J. Speed had removed. The inhabitants finally succeeded in forcing Mr. Speed into a com- promise, under which the office was taken back to " Jenksville," but under the name of Speedsville, which Mr. Speed was desirous should be retained. Leroy W. Kingman was the first postmaster after the removal and was appointed February 4, 1835. Other succeeding post- masters have been Isaac L. Bush, Samuel P. Ashley, G. H. Perry, Josiah Lawrence, Isaac L. Bush, D. B. Gilbert (who held the office more than fifteen years), and was succeeded by W. S. Legge and Mrs. Dr. Johnson. The present postmaster is J. I. Ford.
