the same time was principal of the classical school at Cazenovia, at Liberty and Franklin, and from September 1, 1844, to April 6, 1868, at Salem and Sterling, since which time he has ministered occasionally. His children were Frances (a music teacher), Helen, Gertrude, and Spencer. Colonel B. T. Cook, a farmer of Franklin, N. Y., married Frances, Dr. Wright's other daughter.

Charles and Abijah Peet came to Salem from New Milford, Conn., in 1827. Charles Peet built a log house opposite the Woodbridge store-house, where he lived one year, then moved north of Luther Weston's. He was a reader, had a good memory and loved an ar- gument. He frequently tried cases before justices against Fuller, Wheeler and others, and often gained his suit. His wife, Anna Wright, was an ingenious weaver of cloths and carpets with the old-fashioned hand-looms. Catharine, one of his children, married Robert J. Bortree and lived in Sterling. Daniel N. Peet lives in Tioga County.

Abijah Peet began life at a place now owned by J. W. Bidwell. He afterward traded this with Horace Bell for the place on Peet Hill, where he died aged nearly seventy-four. Hester Peet, his widow, still occupies it. He was a man of great physical strength, and at the log house raisings in those days would often lift against two or three common men. He was a man of reading and thought, and most scrupulously honest. Daniel Peet, Sr., son of John Peet, 1 came to Salem in 1829, and bought the Samuel Harford place, on Peet Hill, where he lived till his death, aged nearly eighty-five. He had five sons and five daugh- ters,-Charles, Abijah, Polly, Daniel, Jr., Alby, Caroline, Betsey Ann, Lydia Rebecca, John and Orinda.

Betsey Ann remained on the homestead and was never married. John Peet married Mary Jane White, and built a log cabin by a spring between his father's and Abijah's in 1844, which is still standing. He subsequently built

on the road. John Peet was first lieutenant of the Salem militia company for four years and captain for three years. Jirah Mumford was colonel, and William R. McLaury major, Dr. Losey surgeon,-May 1st, training-day. Owen Chapman was captain, Jeremiah Fessenden second lieutenant and Anson Abbey was drum- mer. The companies contained about seventy- five men, who armed themselves. Captain John Peet is a man of natural ability, and has a more accurate knowledge of the lines, land- marks and early settlers in the eastern part of Salem than any man at present in the township. Albert Stocker, who married Lydia R. Peet, came to Salem in 1840, and purchased a farm east of Little Meadow, and north of Bidwell Lake, of William Swan, who had shortly before secured it of Isaac P. Hewitt. His widow is still living and has been of great assistance in preparing this historical sketch.

Albert Stocker was born in Kent township, Litchfield County, Conn., July 18, 1811. His father, James Stocker, was a shoemaker and farmer. He was an honest man and made a comfortable living for his family, but never acquired any property ; consequently, Albert was early thrown upon his own resources. He worked for farmers and in a stone saw-mill which his father rented. During winter months he attended school and acquired a fair common-school education. He labored for nine years, becoming part owner of a shingle mill. In 1838 he married Lydia R. Peet, and in 1840 bought the place before mentioned, which then had but a few acres cleared. He immediately proceeded to clear a farm, on which he resided until his death, March 23, 1878. He was prompt and punctual in his engagements, honest in his dealings, and out- spoken in his opinions. He was an ardent Democrat, and when there was a great prejudice among Americans against foreigners he extended to them the right hand of welcome.

Albert Stocker's four children were Melissa, who died young ; Jerome T. Stocker, farmer and merchant, who married Emma F. Walker, and built on the Peet Hill road, about a quarter- mile from his father's (he was appointed post- master of Peetona January 18, 1886); Rhaman-

1 John Peet was a bloomer and part owner of a forge. He weighed two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and could lift a seven hundred and fifty pound anvil on to the block with ease.
