Countrymans settled in what is now known as the western portion of Dutchtown. Lying partly in Danube and partly in Minden are about 5000 acres of as fine farming lands as the state of New York can boast of.
At about the same date as before mentioned, the families of the Os- tranders, Mesicks, Delongs, Harders, Walters, Johnsons and Spoors set- tled upon the broad uplands of what is now known as Fire Hill. Whence or why this name I cannot tell, but for the past fifty years that term has been in common use to desig- nate the southern part of the town.
to a foreigner and the owner seeks some other field of labor, either pub- lic or private.
The families of Landt, Jones, Gar- lock, Baum, Gardinier and Stafford came into town.early in 1800 and occupied the land in the central part of the town. In the case of the last above named families the greater portion have sold the original farms, which are now occupied by tenants. The exception is the Gandinier fam- Ily, who still own and occupy about 500 acres of the original purchase. . Among the early settlers in the northern part of the town were the Hess family, more prominent in ear- ly history than some of the others, from the fact that Augustine Hess is mentioned as one of the patentees of the Burnetsfield Patent. One mem- ber of the family was one of the committee of safety at the com-
struggle. The elder, Augustine Hess, was killed by the Indians in 1782.
The Reed family came from Dutch- ess county about the year 1800. The Walraths, Devendorfs, Shalls, Foxes and Cramers were all early settlers, and like their German neighbors of the eastern part of the town, they selected choice lots for farms, and the large red barns, white houses and neat outbuildings of today attest the good judgment of the original owners.
The Gren family, once one of the largest in point of numbers in Dan- ube, several members of which in former years occupied positions of trust, have at this date nearly all removed to other localities.
In and around what is now known as Newville settlements were begun in 1792. The first who came were Isaiah and Nathan Wilcox, brothers. They came from the barren and rocky shore at Watch Hill, in Rhode Island, now one of the most fash- ionable seaside resorts upon the At- lantic coast.
In the summer of 1791 these two brothers, with their ox teams jour- neyed from their New England home Into the upper valley of the Nowa- daga. They had secured a lease from the Bleeckers of two lots of land. Here alone in the forest they built a log house for each of the broth- ers, cleared and burned a few acres of land, sowed sufficient wheat for ly autumn they returned to their Rhode Island home. The first snow of winter found them, with their young wives and children, one a babe of three months old, safely packed with all their earthly belongings in their ox sleigh on the road to their Danube home. Christmas day they crossed the Hudson river at Albany
a few days more brought them to their future home. Here for over fifty years the broth- ers and their wives toiled and pros- pered.

The Francis Astury sketch says: "Mr. Ireland is a descendant of Thomas Ireland, his great grand- father, who was one of the early settlers, who founded the first Eng- lish settlement in Queens Co., L.

Thomas 4 Ireland seems to have been born at Cold Spring on the Oyster Bay side of the then Queens-Suffolk county line between Oyster Bay and Hunt- ington, and not to have lived in New York city. Thomas 4 Ireland and Johannes Cosman appear in a "list of the Estates, Real and Personal of all (259) the Freeholders and In- habitants of the Precinct of New- Burgh 1 Sept. 1767," the tax being for N. Y. Colony's recent war debts, etc. Only 1 Ireland and 1 Cosman family were present. Marriages of adult Ireland children followed 1774 to 1787; of census 1775-1780.
Thomas 5 Ireland, Rev. war sol- dier, son of the Newburgh company above, born 1745 at Huntington, died Dec. 10, 1811, Schaghticoke, Rens- selaer county, N. Y., names in his Nov. 23, 1811 proved 11 Sept. 1812, 7 sons, 6 daughters and wife Sarah Seeley. One of his grandsons, Elias H. Ireland, 1809-70, settled in 1832 4 miles north of Albany, becoming hotel keeper, general store owner and postmaster at Ireland's Corner, name changed 1871 to Loudonville.

Early Settlers Of the Town Of Danube
Of all the mills and shops that once made music in Newville, the grist and sawmills alone remain. The coopers, cabinet makers, tan- ners, tailors, harness makers and shoe makers, have passed to the other side and none came to take their places.

Nathar Wilcox was gathered to rest in 1842 and sixty-seven grandchildren blessed him, all of whom lived, grew to man- gle without any of the faults or fol- lies of modern times, and was what some people cali a gentleman of the old school.

About the year 1797 Samuel Houpt, a Low Dutchman from Berks county, Pennsylvania, settled in
Newville. He was the second new
comer. He brought a bright and thrifty young wife with him. They settled upon the best farming land in the valley. He, probably, in a business way was the smartest man in the settlement, and did more to advance the interests of the neigh- borhood than any of his neighbors He built a sawmill, two grist mills, fulling and carding mill, a large tan- nery, and last, but not least, a dis- tillery. He was for many years the head man of the settlement in money matters. He could build mill dams

FERRIS, WHEELER
Samuel Ferris 2, son of Zechariar Ferris and Sarah (Blood) Ferris; died 1768 ( ?), married 1710-11 to Martha, thought to have been unre- corded daughter of John 2 Odell and Mary Odell of Stratfield. Inventory of estate of Mary Odeli who died at Stratford 18 March 1711-12, shows "Some things in hands of Samuel Ferris of Newtown, others in hands of her daughter Deborah." Mary was widow of John 2, son of William Odell. John Odell died 1707. .
Samuel Ferris' will, dated 1764, may have preceded his death by 4 years, as 1768 has been given as his death, though not appearing in vital records. Of Samuel and Martha Fer- ris' children, records are found of:

Early Settlers Of the Town Of Danube
(Continued from last week)
Ezra Holmes, Benjamin Klock, Klock, John Dyslin, Jeremiah Landt,. James H. Mattison, Jacob Guiwits, Ralph Simms, Levi Ackerman and Dow M. Jones, were old time mer- chants at Newville, and William ) Kretsinger was a merchant at the Indijan Castle. The Doctors Holmes, "father and son, at the Indian Castle' . and the Doctors Abraham Snyder anda his son Horace at Newville, min- 'istered to the physical wants of the! people for many years. They travel- ed, at an early date, on horseback |with their saddlebags behind them. A visit to a patient a few miles dis- tant, generally took the better part of the day. The doctor and his horse were regaled with the best that the house and the stable could afford. The lancet and the calomel bottle were duly 'brought forth, and if the | patient had a good hardy constitu- tion he or she as the case might be, generally recovered. Times and meth- ods have changed; slowly 'but surely the sugar pills, the palatable little tablets and the quick come and go, have taken the place of "the old style.""
Much of the history of Danube has long since 'become public prop- erty. B. J. Lossing, J. R. Simms, N. S. Benton, and others of lesser note, have gathered and garnered the most important events connected with its early history.
In educational matters the early German settlers were not as far advanced as their neighbors of New England descent, and even at this late day the Mohawk Dutchman takes more pride in a well kept and well stocked farm and dairy than he does in the country school house. In matters political, Danube had Invariably been true to Democracy, until the advent of the Republican party, and even now the name of "Democrat," when attached to some popular candidate at election time, will cause some of the elder mem- bers in each community to return for a brief season to their early love. Within the past seventy years Dan- ube has furnished but four members to the assembly. Twice has the coun- ty clerk been selected from that town, and our present honored coun- ty judge hails Danube as his birth place. Much that is commendable can be written and spoken of both her early sons and daughters; of the hardships and trials they endured, of how they strove early and late in- doors and out to build up homes for . themselves and their children. Lightly will we tread over their last resting places, and day by day we will bless the Good Father who gave to us the brave and true fathers and mothers of Danyhe's early days. THE END
