Y., in 1807, and to Erie Co .. Penn., in 1832, settling where William Brightman, the son, now lives. Here he experienced many hardships, that must neces- sarily fall upon the settlers of that day, but they were, perhaps, not so irksome to him as many others, owing to his general pleasant manners and general disposition to be content with his surroundings. He made two round trips from Madison Co., N. Y., to Erie Co. before moving his family, his mode of travel being horseback. A certificate of mem- bership to the Baptist Church, dated 1807, now in possession of his son, William, tells his early religious proclivities. In 1821, he was licensed to exhort in the M. E. Church, and in 1832 was licensed to preach. This he continued as long as age and health would per- mit. He worked during the week, and on Sundays preached and taught in the Sunday schools in various parts of the country. In all his transactions he never forgot his pledge to the Ruler of the universe, and died in the full triumph of his faith, and the good he did will only be known in that day when the secrets of all hearts shall be revealed. He was the father of eight children-Henry, Silence, Erastus, Hannah, Sallie, Polly, William, and one deceased in infancy. He died Aug. 10, 1867, and his home, which was a rendezvous for preachers and church people, will not soon be forgotten. His wife died Aug. 7, 1861.

Y., Dec. 28, 1827, to Isaac and Catharine (Rightor) Kennedy, natives of the same State; the father was born of parents not in affluent circumstances, and consequently had his own "blossoms" to bloom and battles to fight. While quite young, he was employed as foreman of a glass factory near Utica, N. Y., and at the end of several years he had saved some money from his salary, which, added to means his wife had secured by keeping boarders, enabled him to purchase considerable land. The proprietor of the glass factory was unfortunate (by its burning up), and Mr. Kennedy began farming in Chenango Co. He made several trips to Erie and Warren Cos. on horseback, and bought land at the treas- urer's sales prior to the year 1835, when he moved his family to Columbus, Warren Co., . Penn., and in less than two years they settled on the farm now owned by D. C.

Kennedy's mother, is of German parentage, a thorough representative of that nationality to which the United States is indebted for many of her most prosperous citizens and sub- stantial men of worth and merit; he married Catharine, daughter of Abram Cook, a worthy Englishman, and Mary Cook, of Irish descent. Mr. Cook was among the unfor- tunate in the memorable Cherry Valley massacre during the year 1778, the leading com- manders of the atrocious crime being Walter N. Butler and an Indian chief named Joseph Brant, the former of whom was killed in 1778, while attempting to escape from the Amer- ican troops. Aunt Molly, as she was familiarly known, some time subsequent to the death of her husband, Abram Cook, married an Irishman named Alexander McCollum, and with him passed her latter days with their youngest son, David McCollum. Andrew, a descend- ant of the McCollum family, became recognized as a talented attorney in Ogdensburg, on the St. Lawrence River, and in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y .; and his brother, Reuben McCol- lum, was a merchant, at one time very wealthy, but went under through careless habits and dissipation, and a portion of his property was bought by his father and brother Da- vid-being land, the present site of Middlefield, N. Y. One Dan McCollum was stolen by Indians when quite young, and was governed by them for twenty-three years. About two. days prior to the Cherry Valley massacre, the Indians had a war dance, and some killing occurred among their own tribe, on account of an Indian squaw refusing to dance with one of the participants, and the fracas was brought to a climax in the ending of the mas- sacre. A number of women and children were taken prisoners, among whom was Cath- arine Cook," who was forced to dry the scalps of the victims of this horrible deed for the Indians, for thirty or more days. She suspected one scalp to be that of her mother, and
