SARAH WELLS BULL
An American Pioneer Mother Sarah Wells Bull was aptly called "The. Maid of Waywayanda" since She was the first white woman to settle on the Waywayanda Patent, granted in 1631 to the Earl of War- wick. This land patent consisted of 160,000 acres, situated in Orange and Sullivan counties.
The Minising Indians later settled this tract, but sold it in 1702 to Chris Denne, which transfer was confirmed by Queen Anne in 1703. Denne and his 11 partners tried to sell the land to settlers but failed to do so.
-
In 1712 he decided to build a house on his 2000 acre plot, and did so 'on the west bank of the Otter Kill where now stands the village of Campbell Hall. The nearest settle- ment was at New Windsor, 20 miles distant, which was near present Newburg. He bought a sloop, hired a carpenter and aided by two Red- men, moved his effects from Staten Island to his chosen site.
There were no children but he
took with him Sarah Wells, an 18 year old orphan, native of New Jer- sey and for her age accomplished in many ways. On his return 'home the found he had to postpone his plans for some time. But here Sar- ah Wells stepped In and declared her intention to go to the land, carry out the plans and make ready for their coming.
The partners in the patent .. had agreed to give 600 acres to the first. settler. The foster father offered her. 100 acres of land. Now, despite the protests of Mrs. Denne and the dan- gers of the venture pointed out by Mr. Denne Sarah Welis set sall on the sloop, with the carpenter and the two Indians.
The salling date was May 27, 1712. They took with them two horses, two cows, two Irish brahmas, two dogs, two beds and bedding, and various tools, household furnishings, cloth- ing, food and meat and many" trink- ets as ribbons and knives for the In- dians. They arrived at New Windsor 24 hours later, and in the morning started through the woods for the settlement. Sarah Wells, leader of the t expedition later testifled to the cour- tesy and kindness shown her by her male companions. At nightfall they arrived at their rendezvous, a wig- wam was set up for Sarah and in the morning the log house was begun.
, Back at the Denne house, after Sarah's departure, fear relgned all through the night, and early in the morning, the Dennes mounted horses and set out overland, and soon ;came to the new house that had been erect- d' near Otterskill, later, and to this dos ' known As the "Land of Goshen."
nence overlooking their ancient stone house where she lived to see 335 living children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
The house is now the residence of Ebenezer Bull, sixth generation, In perfect preservation, its rooms.con- taining antique articles, as the hall clock imported from England by Wm. Bull, the spinning wheel and looms long used by Sarah Wells Bull and her daughters, old time cooking uten- sils and dishes and photographs. The dress in which Sarah Wells was mar- ried and used by her daughters, is still In existence.
This Bull stone house stands on the old road between Newburg and the county seat of Goshen, It Is thought that Sarah Wells Bull and Wm. Bull had 15,000 living descend- ants and the annual family reunion at Campbell Hall and the old home- stead is a great yearly event of Or- ange county.
Note The story above is based on a narrative written 1912. An up-to- date account of this 1722 Bull house refers to it as connected with the John Ellison Hunting Lodge built in 1734 and enlanged in 1754. A two story and attic stone house was erected in 1782. This was the head- quarters of General Knox and for a time of Gen. Gates. The structure Is owned by New York State and is in charge of a curator .- Contributed by Rev. W. N. P. Dalley.

'settier. The foster father offered her 100 acres of land. Now, despite the protests of Mrs. Denne and the dan- gers of the venture pointed out by- Mr. Denne Sarah Wells set sail on the sloop, with the carpenter and the two Indians.
The sailing date was May 27, 1712. They took with them two horses, two cows, two Irish brahmas, two dogs, two beds and bedding, and various -tools, household furnishings, cloth- ing, food and meat and many" trink- ets as ribbons and knives for the In- dians. They arrived at New Windsor 24 hours later, and in the morning started through the woods for the settlement. Sarah Wells, leader of the ៛ expedition later testified to the cour- tesy and kindness shown her by her male companions. At nightfall they arrived at their rendezvous, a wig- wam was set up for Sarah and in the morning the log house was begun.
Back at . the Denne house, after Sarah's departure, fear reigned all through the night, and early in the morning, the Dennes mounted horses and set out overland, and, soon came to the new house that had been erect- d'near Otterskill, later, and to this day, known as the "Land of Goshen."
Other families bought tracts of land and built hom s, and the Dennes became prosperous. Among the new settlers was one Daniel Cromline who planned to build a tavern on. the new road being opened between the Hudson and Delaware rivers. Hc went to New York and hired a stone mason, a young Englishman by the name of William Bull, He had erected a bridge near Dublin but could not finish it in the time exacted, hence faced imprisonment for debt, from which he escaped by coming to Am- erica. He lacked full passage fare and again faced the debtors' prison. but Cromline paid the difference and brought Bull back to New Windsor:
In course of time he met Sarah Wells but the Dennes opposed the relation of this penniless unknown. But young Bull soon proved his worth, his services were in demand, and he prospered, and bought 200 acres along side those given Sarah by Mr. Denne. On March 25, 1718 they were married by Justice John Merritt. Being a strict Episcopalian, Bull was subject to the marriage banns being proclaimed three succes- sive times, but Judge Merritt saved time and expense by making said proclamation all in one day, then performing the ceremony.
Four years later (1722) Wm. Bull built with the practical aid of Sar- ah a stone house which is still stand- ing in Goshen, as well as many other stone houses in Goshen that he built. The Bull house was 40 feet square. The walls 3 feet wide, 31% stories high and a high ceilar.
Sarah Wells Bull was a busy housekeeper, and helped her husband and foster parents in many ways. Mr. Bull died in 1755, aged 66 and Sarah survived him until 1795 when she passed away at the age of 102. Their graves are in the old God's Acre in Hamptonburg on an emi- Coronado, Calif.
quarters of General Knox and for a time of Gen. Gates. The structure is owned by New York State and is in charge of a curator .- Contributed by Rev. W. N. P. Dailey.

' Three smaller markers are inscrib- ed respectively.
Jacob H. Moyer 1812-1888.
Margaret A. Bauder, ~his wife, 1831-1862.
Mary E. Devendorf, his wife, 1824- 1886:
Jacob H. Moyer had but one child, Jacob Wesle Moyer ..
The above is conirmed in Froth- ingham, Vol. 2, p. 93 'and elsewhere.
That Jacob- H. was the son of Henry I. Moyer (1785-1860), seems to be confirmed from other sources; also that he married in 1808 Han- nah (or Anna) Walradt or Wal- rath (1788-1860.)
I find no record among my notes to the effect that the above Jacob H. had a daughter who married Hor- ace Williams. His only issue seems to have been Jacob Wesley Moyer. . Mr. Shaver notes that a Nancy Walrad married Henry Moyer, a car- riage manufacturer of Syracuse, N. Y. To the best of my knowledge, the Henry Moyer who was father of the above Jacob H. Moyer was a far- mer, resident in Herkimer or Mont- gomery county.
I am much interested in' the Moy- er families, as my great grandfath- er was Jacob S. Moyer of Van Hornesville who married a first cou- son, Elidabeth Moyer, of ancestry unknown to me. I believe she was a sister of the Henry I. Moyer noted above. Can some' one help me prove or disprove this? I will be glad to exchange notes with other interested
parties on the Moyer families. Dale W. Kaufman,

Would like to correspond with de- scendants of 6 great grandmothers whose maiden surname was Gunn. The married names of 5 are un- known. Object-the location of any family Bible which will identify the father and mother of these girls, or give, some clue to their identity.
Rhoda Gunn born 1778, probably in" Westfield, Mass. married as his second wife Peter Buton, resided In Hebron, N. Y. where he was keeper of the toll gate on the turnpike, now Route 22. What descendant has her Bible ?
Betsy, Lydia, Ann, Grace and Julia are the Gunn girls whose names we seek. These sisters were born prob- abiy 1780 to 1805. We do not know whether or not they married at all. They were born in Westfield, Mass., Blanford, Mass., or Hebron, N. Y. 1261X. Jost (or Jost Petrie.) Born or vicinity.

Chester Gunn, only brother, 're- moved to E. Henrietta, Monroe Co., N. Y. where he was recorded in the 1830 census as a farmer, But no record of his father" or mother. was left that we have so far been able to find .;
1All circumstantial evidence points clearly to Warham and Grace (Shep- ard) Gunn as the parents. Warham 5 (Reuben 5, Thomas 3, John 2, Thomas 1) Gunn married (int.) May 25, 1777, Grace 4 (John 3,,2, 1) Shepard.
