Valentine Rathbone and his son, James Rathbone, came to this town from Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Mass., in the Fall of 1801, and settled on fifty acres in the southwest corner of Lot 69, Marcellus, of which the former had a deed. In March of the next year Valentine Rathbone conveyed, without wife, these lands to James Rathbone, and the latter, from time to time thereafter, added to this purchase other lands on this and adjoining lots, until he owned at one time a very large farm of 336 acres, on lots 68, 69, and 74, Mar- cellus.

fornia; Benjamin Frank, married and died in Michigan, and William, died in Spafford, unmarried. Valentine Rath- bone and his son, James Rathbone, were clothiers by trade, the former having built the first clothing mill in Pittsfield about 1768, and the latter built a similar mill in Factory Gulf, on Lot 74, Marcellus, soon after he came here. Val- entine Rathbone was a prominent man in Pittsfield, and there organized a Baptist Church about 1772, and minis- tered over it as Elder until about the time he came here. At one time he was converted to the doctrine of the Shakers, but afterwards abandoned that sect and worked against that faith. He was also prominent at Pittsfield in political affairs, especially in Revolutionary times. After the sale of his possessions on lot 69, Marcellus, to his son James in 1802, he purchased 300 acres on lot 54, Marcellus, and settled on the highway now known as the Skaneateles and Hamilton Turnpike, about one mile north of the village of Marietta, where he remained until the period of his death, which occurred in February 1814, at the advanced age of 90 years. According to family tradition, Valentine Rath- bone was born in Stonington, Conn., December 23, 1724, and probably was descended from John Rathbone, one of the first settlers and sixteen proprietors of Block Island (New Shoreham, R. I.) In his will, dated November 17, 1808, probated February 17, 1814, he mentions his wife, Tabitha Rathbone, and his children: Saxon, (executor), Joshua (then dead), Daniel (then dead), James, Benjamin, Valentine, Jr., daughters Niles (then dead), Susanna, Eunice, Cynthia, and his son Reuben (then dead).


Among the list of soldiers of the American Revolution mentioned in the history of Pittsfield, Mass., as serving from that town, are the following: Daniel, James, Reuben, Valentine, Jacob, Sylvester and Charles T. Rathbone; the last three possibly may have been grandchildren of Valen- tine, the others were his sons.
