ONONDAGA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
BAXTER.
Several members of the Baxter family came to this town from Pittsfield, Mass., at an early date, and settled at Borodino and in that vicinity, among whom were Daniel, John, William Bently, Edward and Septimus, five brothers, and possibly one or more sisters, but of the sisters we have no positive information ; and in fact nothing more is known of Septimus than his name. Daniel Baxter came before the Fall of 1817, and first settled on lot 14, Sempronius, west of the Center, but in course of one or two years thereafter moved to the Village of Borodino, where he carried on a general mercantile business for twelve or fifteen years there- after. From 1817 to 1832 he had numerous real estate transactions in Borodino and in that vcinity, in which he was joined by his wife Susan. He was Supervisor of the town in the years 1830-1-2, and his general reputation was that of a substantial business man. He was Member of Assembly of the New York Legislature from this town in 1828. He went West early in the thirties.
