(Borodino.)
In an application for a pension by Daniel Owen of Spaf- ford, dated September 1, 1820, he makes the following claim: That he served in the War of the Revolution as a member of Capt. William Hull's Company, in the Regi- ment commanded by Col. Charles Webb, of Connecticut Troops, in the service of the United States; that he served for the period of one year and was discharged at Morris- town, N. J., in 1776; that he had a wife, Lydia, and a daughter and a granddaughter, who resided with him in Spafford. The Connecticut records show that the regiment in question, during the time stated, served for a short time along the coast of Long Island Sound, then, on requisition of Washington, was accepted as Continentals and ordered to Boston, where it remained until the evacuation of that place by the British. The regiment was then marched to New York, and took part in the battle of White Plains, and then at Trenton, N. J. The Martyr Spy, Capt. Nathan Hale, executed by the British in New York City, was a member of this regiment.
Mr. Owen purchased, on March 17, 1824, eighteen acres of land on the Nunnery road, on Lot 12, Sempronius ; these lands were afterwards conveyed by his widow, Lydia Owen, and his daughter, Eunice C. Snyder, then of Cortland. N. Y.,

No genealogy of Spafford families would be complete without reference to Gilbert Palmer and his son, John Palmer, who were, without question, the first settlers within the limits of the present town, although we have no record that any dead of this family were deposited in any of our cemeteries. Mr. Joshua V. H. Clark, in his excellent history of the County of Onondaga, says: Mr. Palmer came here in the Fall of 1794 from Dutchess or Westchester County, N. Y., and settled on Lot 76, Marcellus, for which he served as a soldier in the Revolution, and he gives a very graphic description of an accident which befell his son, John, by the felling of a tree, etc., a story which is familiar to all readers of that and subsequent histories of this county. We have no data at hand to prove the incorrectness of the date which Mr. Clark fixes, as the time of Mr. Palmer's arrival here, but as he is incorrect in some of his statements about Mr. Palmer, we think it possible he may have been misinformed on that subject. His deed of Lot 76, excepting State's Hun- dred Acres, is dated September 21, 1792, and is from Thomas Ostrander, the original soldier, who served for the lot. In this deed he is described as a farmer from York- town, or Amawalk, Westchester County, N. Y. Mr. Palmer probably was a soldier of the Revolution, and we are inclined to the belief that he came originally from Connecti- cut, where his name appears (or another of the same name) in the Militia of that State, for the reason that many of the Palmers in this State came originally from Stonington, Conn. The name of Gilbert Palmer also appears in the Militia of this State, and he possibly may have served in both States; but no Gilbert Palmer served in New York in any regiment or levy, entitling him to draw bounty lands in this State. It seems to us more probable that Palmer came here earlier than the Fall of 1794. He conveyed from time to time the lands which he owned, but in no conveyance was he joined by a wife; he was probably a widower while he
SPAFFORD MORTUARY RECORDS WITH GENEALOGICAL NOTES 199
resided here. In one deed of lands on lot 76, he conveyed to a Samuel Palmer,-this was in 1806,-but the next year the latter and wife, Elizabeth, conveyed away these lands, and no more is known of Samuel, or of any record that the two Palmers named in this deed were related to each other. In his deeds to John Palmer he speaks of him as his son. We have no record of any children of Gilbert Palmer other than his son, John, and all we know of him is, that he came from Westchester County, was a tailor, resided on Lot 76, Marcellus, until about 1814, that he then sold out and moved into the village of Borodino, and carried on his avocation of tailor there until the Spring of 1819, and then moved to Hannibal, Oswego County, N. Y. Mr. Clark says Gilbert Palmer died about 1839. It is possible that he and his son, John, both died in the latter place. The given name of John Palmer's wife was Rachel.
A Mr. Ziba Palmer, at an early date, resided in Spafford Hollow, near the head of Otisco Lake, who is credited with a family of twenty-two children, but of him we have no further record.
PARKER.
Samuel Parker. Died October 25, 1853, age 67 years.
(Mr. Parker came to this town from Greenwich, Wash- ington County, N. Y., and first settled on what is now known as the Breed farm, on Lot 11, Tully, where he lost his first wife, Amy. From there he moved to Spaffod Hollow, where he died. His second wife was the widow, Rebecca White. He was a member of Capt. Asahel Roundy's Company, in the 96th Regiment, of New York Militia, in the War of 1812. His children were: Marietta, married Frank Smith; Isaac, Amasa, and Polly, married James Goodwin.)

PATTEN.
William Patten, (son of William Patten). Died March 15, 1872, age 77 years, 1 month, 28 days.
(William Patten, Sr., was a native of Massachusetts, where he was a soldier in the Revolution; his son, William, was born in Oneida County, N. Y., where he settled after the war of the Revolution. The latter was a clothier by occupation and came to this town about 1817, and settled in what is known as Factory Gulf, where, in connection with Elijah Manley, he conducted the clothing works at that. place; soon afterwards his brother-in-law, Edmund C. Weston, took the place of Mr. Manley, and the business was subsequently conducted by Mr. Patten and Mr. Weston. Mr. Patten first married Fanny Rathbone, daughter of James and Margaret (Ashley) Rathbone, and (2) Elizabeth Davis, daughter of Farrand and Esther Davis, and widow of Samuel Rice. By his last wife he had one son : George A. Patten, now a resident of this town.
