" When I first came upon the Genesee river, Little Beardstown, now Cuylerville, contained about fifteen hundred Indians, at Big Tree, (Geneseo,) there was a small Indian settlement, forty houses, perhaps. There was a large Indian settlement at Squawky Hill, and a small one at Mt. Morris. The white woman, had a number of families upon her reservation at Gardeau.
" When I came west of the river, in 1803, Isaac Smith * lived at the Hosmer place, mid way between the river, and Caledonia; he had located there as early as 1801. There was a family of Bakers, squatters, upon the flatts. These were all except the Scotch, on and near the Buffalo road, between Caledonia and the river. The Indian settlement of Canawagus, (now the Newbold farm,) contained at least forty wigwams."
The two brothers, John and Robert M'Kay, are both surviving residents at Caledonia. The one, still owning and carrying on the mills that did the grinding at one time for "all west" of their loca- tion, to the western extremity of the State; the other, resides upon his farm, a short distance from the springs.
JEHIEL KELSEY, an aged Pioneer resides in a pleasant retreat, surrounded by all the comforts of life, a short distance north of Avon Springs. He cheerfully suspended his field labor, in which he was industriously engaged, and gave the author a short account of his early advent :-
"I came to Avon, in 1794, purchased the farm where I now reside, for one dollar fifty cents per acre, about ten years after- wards. I had to labor several years to get the means of purchase. I think I brought the first salt, in any considerable quantity, to the Genesee Valley. I took pork to Onondaga, exchanged pounds for
* It is worthy of note here, that Major Smith was not only a Pioneer landlord, but he was the father of six daughters, five of whom were Pioneer wives and mothers. There are few primitive log cabins in Western New York, from beneath the roof of which there have gone out more and better helpers, in the settlement of a new country. One of the daughters became the wife of Isaac Sutherland of Batavia; another, of James D. Faulkner of Dansville; two others, of Sylvester and Sidney Hosmer; and another, of John M'Kay, of Caledonia. The sixth, and youngest, is Mrs. Kimberly, formerly of Batavia. Major Smith died in 1814.

HISTORY OF THE
bushels; brought my salt via Oswego, and mouth of Genesee river; sold it here, for ten dollars fifty cents per barrel.
" The first grist mill built in this region, was by Capt. Ganson, before I came on. Judge Hosmer built a saw mill on the Conesus, as early as 1796, the first one in this region. The Wadsworths built one the same year, on the same stream. Starr, who was the father of Horatio Jones' first wife, built the first framed house in the Genesee Valley. In '94, all the inhabitants on the river, from Williamsburgh to its mouth, were :- Judge Hosmer, Gad Wadsworth, Gilbert R. Berry, Wm. Markham, Ransom Smith, Peter Shaeffer, William Hencher, Ebenezer Merry.
"I helped to put up the first bridge, over 'Deep Hollow' below Rochester. We had previously, to go up three-fourths of a mile to get over this gulf. To raise the bridge, all able bodied men had to go from Avon, and some from above. In '98 or '9, Peter Shaeffer put up a framed barn; it took all the men in this region- twenty, all told.
" When the Holland Company surveyors first came on, they came here to buy much of their provisions, and grain and hay for their paek horses.
"Our first meetings were held in a log school house on the present public square, of Avon, Judge Hosmer usually reading the Episcopal service. Mr. Crane, an Episcopal clergyman, was here, as early, I think, as 1800, or '1. At an early period, the Rev. Mr. Mills, father of Gen. Mills, a Presbyterian minister, used to come down to Avon and hold meetings.
"I must tell you" said the old gentleman to the author, "how one of our young men got his wife, in an early dav. Ebenezer Merry, Jr. the son of an early settler I have already named, pushed on still farther ahead, and settled on the Reserve, in Ohio, at Painsville. He built him a log hut, kept bachelor's hall, and commenced making an opening in the woods. He came back here on a visit, and told me it was pretty lonesome up there, in the woods. I told him he must take back a wife with him. ' Well' said he, disposed to make a prompt business matter of it, 'who shall I get?' I replied, there is the daughter of Aaron Adams, she would make just such a wife as you want. The young man went to see Miss Adams, they struck up a bargain, were married, and in a few days, were off through the woods to the Reserve; the young wife on horseback, and he on foot. He was one of the founders of the village of Milan, became prominent, among the early settlers of Ohio, was a member of the State Legislature. He died a few years since, leaving a large circle of descendants.
"It was very sickly through the whole Genesee valley in all the early years. If the settler escaped the bilious fever the first year, he was sure to have it the next."

HOLLAND PURCHASE.
Pittstown, originally, afterwards Honcoye, now Richmond, dates its first settlement at the early period of 1789. The township and a part of Bristol were purchased of Phelps and Gorham, by a com- pany of individuals of Dighton Massachusetts; thence they were called the " Dighton Company." The land was divided among the proprietors by lottery; Capt. Peter Pitts drew his share, three thousand acres, and was so fortunate as to get the Honeoye flatts, embracing the site of an old Indian town that Sullivan had des- troyed, large patches of cultivated ground, and some apple trees. Gideon Pitts, the eldest son of Capt. Pitts, came out to view lands about the period of Phelps and Gorham's purchase of the Indians, saw the lands about the Honeoye lake, and informed the Dighton company, of their desirable character.
" In 1789, Gideon and William Pitts went upon their father's land, carrying their goods in on an ox sled. Their first shelter was made of their sled box; afterwards they erected a cabin and for two years lived alone, putting in crops upon the old Indian grounds."
Capt. Pitts and the remainder of the family came in 1791, living, for nearly four years, alone, Capt. Tafft, of Bloomfield, being nearest neighbor, north, the Wadsworths, nearest west, James Goodwin, in Bristol, nearest east, and a few settlers at the head of Canandaigua lake, nearest south. There came into Pittstown, in 1794, Dr. Lemuel Chipman, Dr. Cyrus Chipman, Philip Reed, Roswell Turner, (himself, bringing in his family next year,) Edward Hazen. In '95, Jonas Belknap and Elijah Parker. In '96 and "7, settlers came in rapidly.
Aaron Hunt, Col. Green, James Garlinghouse, Jacob Holden, Nicholas Burby, settled at Hunt's Hollow, (head of Honeoye lake,) in '94. Solomon Woodruff was in Livonia as early as '93; Philip Short, at the foot of Hemlock lake, in '95.
Peter Allen went into Pittstown in '96; in "7, his brother, Nathaniel, who had worked as a journeyman blacksmith, in Canan- daigua, followed him, and erected the first blacksmith's shop in the town, getting together a few tools, and supplying himself with iron, by bringing it from Canandaigua, on horseback .*
* This early blacksmith was well known upon the Niagara frontier, in the war of 1812, as army contractor and paymaster; afterwards, as sheriff of Ontario county, and representative in Congress, from that district. In the latter years of his life, he was a contractor upon a work of the general government, upon the Erie and Oswego canals,

HISTORY OF THE
The brief glimpse of early settlement thus given, is from information derived from Peter Pitts, the only surviving son of Capt. Peter Pitts, aged 67. The other survivor of the family, is the Mrs. Blackman, whose name has already been introduced in another connection. To her the author is indebted for the follow- ing reminiscences :-
"Zadoc Hunn, a Presbyterian minister, who lived at the old Sheldon place, near Canandaigna, held meetings at my father's house, as early as 1793. He first preached in Canandaigua, after- wards, a log meeting house was built for him, in Bristol. We used to have good meetings in those days; better ones than we do now. "My father's house was, for several years, a home for the new settlers, land explorers, land agents, and surveyors. When Louis Philippe visited Western New York, he wished to see our neighbor- hood. Ile came with his companions, to our house, bringing a letter of introduction, from Thomas Morris, Esq., of Canandaigua. He was very sociable, and much pleased with the country. He remained over night. There were some Indians encamped on the lake shore; the party went down to see them, taking my brother Peter, then a small lad, along with them. He could talk Indian; Louis Philippe was highly pleased at being enabled to communicate with them through the agency of so young an interpreter. The first few years after our family came in, there were many Indians passing our house daily, and hunting parties were encamped nearly all the time, in the neighborhood.
"The old Indian castle that Sullivan burned down, stood about one hundred rods from the foot of the lake. After we came here, there were many remains of wigwams that Sullivan had destroyed, and the bones of his pack horses "
Capt. Peter Pitts, died in 1812, aged 74 years. His descendants are numerous, many of them occupying the lands he left them; - the flats of the Honeoye-conspicuously beautiful even now, when surrounded with rural landscapes, that would oftener tempt the traveler from the great thoroughfares, could he realize what a panorama of lakes, broad highly cultivated fields, flocks and herds,
and lastly, for the construction of the canal around the falls of the Ohio, at Louisville, where he died in 1833 or '4. The village of Allen's Hill grew up on a part of his fine farm, and took its name from him. His successor, at the old homestead, is the Hon. Robert L. Rose, who married his daughter; the present Representative in Con- gress, from Ontario; the original farm in his hands, having had accessions of hundreds of acres, and now forming one of the finest agricultural estates in Western New York. The elder brother, Peter Allen, whom Mrs. Blackman also names, was in Queenston battle, in command of a regiment, when he was made prisoner. He will be remem- bered by our older class of readers, as the one who gave the name to the " Peter Allen Legislature," of this state. He emigrated to Terra Haute, on the Wabash, in 1816, where he ended an enterprising and useful life, in 1836.

villages, more than comfortable farm houses, is spread out in the southern portions of Ontario and Livingston.
Mrs. Blackman, is enjoying with her descendants, a competence of worldly blessings, cheerful and happy; even disposed to be humorous. She gave as a reason why she did not go to the "Holland Purchase," when many of her neighbors were pushing on there, in 1804, '5 and '6, that her husband had then "got land enough cleared, so they could see out by looking straight up," and she did not wish to make a new beginning. The old gentleman, who had been almost as early a pioneer as herself, was at work on the highway, (June, 1848.)
BURGOYNE KEMP, is an aged pioneer, living in Newfane, Niag- ara county. A small portion of a narrative he has furnished the author, belongs to this period: -
" My father's family consisting then of eleven persons, came from New Jersey, to Niagara, C. W. in 1786, on pack horses, pursuing the then usual route, via Tioga Point, and the Indian trail. We saw no white inhabitant after leaving Tioga Point, until we arrived at Lewiston. At Newton, logs had been cut to build two houses. At Painted Post, we were passed by a young man who was deaf and dumb; from signs we learned that his destination was Queenston. He never arrived; and from the fact that an Indian was afterwards® in possession of his clothes, there is no doubt but he was murdered; though it may have been by a white brigand, the Indian afterwards taking the clothes from the body.
"We had a small drove of cattle and sheep; arriving at the Genesee river, they swam aeross, the family crossing in a canoe. We were much troubled several times on our route by the Indians stealing our horses, when they wandered a short distance from our camp."
Mr. Kemp, as will be seen farther on, became an early settler upon the Holland Purchase.
OLIVER CULVER, Esq. of Brighton, Monroe county, still survives to tell the story of his early wilderness advent. His life has been one of more than ordinary enterprize and industry. Coming to Western New York, in 1796, but nineteen years old, he has been a hired laborer, a trapper, a navigator of the lakes, a contractor on one of our largest publie works, a legislator, and the patroon of his neighborhood. An ample fortune is the reward of a long life of enterprize and toil. His intellect is yet vigorous, and the iron frame that in youth and middle age, enabled him to encounter the

HISTORY OF THE
diseases and privations of a new country, has yielded far less than usual to the advance of years.
"I came from Vermont in 1796, on foot, my companion a young man by the name of Samuel Spafford. Reaching Farmington, Ontario county, I got a job of making sap troughs for Jonathan Smith. Hearing that something was going on at Irondequoit, 1 came on to see the place. Judge Tryon, of Lebanon, Conn. had purchased three hundred acres of land and laid out a village. There was one settler upon the village plat-a mulatto by the name of Samuel Dunbar. Remaining at Irondequoit a few weeks, five batteaux came up, with surveyors and provisions, bound for the New Connecticut tract. Myself and companion hired out to the company. and embarked for the west.
" At Erie, we found Col. Seth Reed keeping a tavern in a double log house. On our way up the lake, we left a settler by name of Gunn, at Conneaut, and his family; he was the Pioneer there. We landed at the mouth of the Cuyahoga, (Cleveland,) built a store-house and a dwelling for the surveyors, and hands. One of our hands, - - Stiles, had his wife with him, built a house. He was the first settler at Cleveland. During the first winter. Mrs. Stiles was confined; her only female attendants being squaws; the child was the first born on the Reserve, and had a present of land from the proprietors.
"After remaining there for one season, myself and Spafford went back to Vermont, returning to Irondequoit the next spring. Having brought traps with us, we followed for a while the business of trapping and hunting. Game was very plenty about the Bay. Wild geese, with their broods of young goslins, were especially abundant. We trapped and bought furs of Indians."
[Another surveying party for Ohio arriving, Mr. Culver and his companion again accompanied them. His narrative embraces many interesting events connected with the primitive survey and settlement of the Reserve, witnessed during this and a third advent there. In 1798 he helped cut out the road from Pennsylvania line across the Reserve. On his way up he was taken sick at Buffalo -no physician to be had- Middaugh's wife took care of him.]
"In the year 1800 I purchased the farm where I now reside; went to work upon it, going through the woods by marked trees to Major Orange Stone's, for my meals and lodging; cleared seven acres and got it into wheat. Suspecting that I had an imperfect title to my land, I did no more upon it until 1805, when the title was made perfect. During this time, I worked at the Bay for Tryon and Adams. who by this time had a store there and an ashery. In 1804, there was a grist and saw mill, built by --- Smith, on

a stream that crosses the road from Rochester to Pittsford. The mill stones were taken from the old Allan mill at Rochester, that had run down. The trade of Tryon and Adams, extended to Pittsford, Penfield, Mendon; divided the trade with Canandaigua, of the whole region. The ashery was of great use to the new settlers; enabling them to sell their ashes for a shilling a bushel when they stood in need of the proceeds. I remember that in 1803, Tryon and Adams shipped one hundred and three barrels of pearl ashes to Montreal. In 1804, when I left the Bay, four or five families had come in. The father of Oliver Grace, Esq., of Lewiston, was a general agent, or clerk, for Tryon and Adams; was well educated, social and pleasant; an agreeable accession to our back woods' settlement .*
"In the early years, the whole region about the Bay, was a favorite hunting ground; deer and bear were very plenty. There were a few beaver in this region when I first came in. I trapped a couple of young ones at Braddock's Bay, in 1797; found one of their houses, or lodges. It was built in a conical form, of brush and rushes, plastered with clay. Their bed was elevated above the water, and dry. The sticks they had carried into their lodge for their winter's food, were piled up outside with the bark all gnawed off. I have scen the stumps of trees they had gnawed off one foot in diameter. They select their sites for dams with all the nice judgment that man would use in locating mill dams. The beaver dams were numerous in all the lake Ontario region.
"I married and settled upon my farm in 1805. In that year and the following, myself and four neighbors :- George Daly, Orange Stone, Samuel Spafford, and Miles Northup, with the help of fifty dollars appropriated by the then town of Northfield, cut out the road two rods wide, for the distance of four miles from the river, east. I am the only person now living in the town of Brighton, who was here, an adult, in 1796."

HISTORY OF THE
Monroe county, for the information contained in the following extracts of a letter :-
"My mother, now quite advanced in years, resides with her sister, Mrs. M'Laren, near Benedict's Corners, on Ridge Road, east of Rochester. I gather from her the statement, that she came with my father, to Braddock's Bay, in 1797. There had been living there, then, for three or four years, three brothers :- Bezeal, Stephen, and John Atchison. The names of the others there, were :- John Madden, Goodhuc, - Labon, Bennet. Wm. Hencher lived at the mouth of Genesee river; a rather singular sort of personage; a second Daniel Boone. Some emigrants settled four or five miles from him, at which he became very indignant; said he did not wish to have neighbors so near him." *
The following is a copy of the first tax roll ever made out for the region west of the Genesee river; it being then all embraced in one town-Northampton. It is entire, with the exception of fifteen or sixteen names, torn from the first page of the roll. It was furnished to the editor of the Rochester Democrat, by Donald M'Kenzie, Esq., of Caledonia. It is dated October 6th, 1800; and signed by Augustus Porter and Amos Hall, as commissioners of taxes for Ontario county. The assessors for the town of North- ampton, were :- Cyrus Douglas, Michael Beach, Eli Griffith, and Philip Beach; Peter Shaeffer, (still living,) was the collector. There were not then, as it appears, over twelve taxable inhabitants upon the Purchase; in Buffalo, only Johnston, Middaugh and Lane.

* This first settler at the mouth of Genesee river- and first, in fact, in all that region - has been several times alluded to, by others. He had held a commission under Shay, in the Massachusetts rebellion. When the force was disbanded, he had taken so conspicuous a part in the rebellion, that he feared to remain, and came first to Chemung, where he remained two or three years. The following extract of a letter, dated in 1791, from one of his daughters, who was with him, to another, in Massachusetts, would show that he came to Western New York, about that period :- " We are waiting at Chemung, to get rid of the fever and ague; as soon as we do, we are going to the Genesee country. Father has been out there and returned." Mr. Hencher died in 1821, leaving a large number of descendants. Mrs. Donald M'Kenzie, of Caledonia, is one of his daughters. Mrs. Richardson, of Cambria, Niagara county, widow of Jonathan Richardson, is a sister of the early pioneor.
