 transcribed by Joyce M. Tice, descendant of Seth Whitlock WOOD, Elizabeth WILSON, Rufus SMITH, and Mary WOOD, February 1997

Seth was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth and Seth were both in the 60-70 age category in 1840 and were alone in their household.

Seth and Elizabeth settled the upper part of what became Sanitarium Hill Road. They built the house that exploded a few years ago from a propane leak. Some pieces from the old house were used in rebuilding the new house that Kay Canfield and her husband Andy Lyman live in. Seth and Elizabeth donated the land above their house for the Wood Cemetery. The Deed was made in 1838 and recorded in 1841. Witnesses were Rufus SMITH and Mary WOOD. It may even be that Jonathan WOOD, Seth's father owned the land earlier, or land nearby, as it appears that Jonathan lived on the Sullivan-Rutland Township border. It would have been wholly Sullivan from 1819 to 1829 when Rutland split off.

She migrated from Ridgefield, Connecticut to Sullivan Township ABT 1823.

 Elizabeth Wilson+ had the following child:

 + 7 i. Eunice Northrup3 Wilson + was born 16 MAY 1799.

Elizabeth Wilson+ and Seth Whitlock Wood+ had the following children:

+ 8 ii. Solomon L. Wood+ was born 2 JAN 1802.

9 iii. Alma Wood was born in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut 1805. Alma died 10 OCT 1818 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut, at age 13. Married very young before the family moved here and died in childbirth at about age 15. Confirm this from records.

+ 10 iv. Thomas Wood was born 4 APR 1806.

4. Benjamin2 Wilson (Thomas1) was born in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut 11 APR 1782. Benjamin died 22 APR 1853 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 71. His body was interred APR 1853 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

 He married twice. He married Lucy Whitlock BEF 1809. Lucy was born about 1782 in Connecticut. Lucy was the daughter of Samuel Whitlock and Esther Mead*. He married Dorcas H. Unknown (Wilson) BEF 1824. Dorcas was born 22 JUL 1796 in New York. Dorcas' birthdate is calculated from deathdate and age on tombstone: 78y 8m 7d.

Dorcas died 29 MAR 1875 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 78. Her body was interred APR 1875 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In 1860 Dorcas had only one child at home and Benjamin had died (1853). Angelina and Lucy A, widow and daughter of James D who has also recently died were living with her. I am not aware of a relationship between James (James D. father) and Benjamin. This might indicate that there is one. Investigate. Dorcas possible surname of NASH is not proven and may be only assumed because Hannah Nash, wife of Elijah was living with her in 1850 census. Or she may, in fact be sister of Elisha NASH. She may also be a sister or cousin of Hannah Rebecca DANN. Investigation required.
 
 

Benjamin was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Dorcas and Benjamin had two males under five, two males 5-10, one male 20-30 in their household. Benjamin and Dorcas were 40-50.
 
 

Benjamin was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Dorcas and Benjamin had 2 males under five, 2 females 5-10, three males 10-15, and one male 15-20 in their household in 1840. He was between 50 and 60, and she was between 40 and 50. Two of the 10-15 males can be accounted for as unidentified sons present in 1830 as under five. The third 10-15 male is unaccounted for. Dorcas and Benjamin lived close to his sister, Elizabeth WILSON Wood and next door to his niece, Eunice WILSON Smith.

In the Census of 1850, Benjamin was listed as a head of household in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Benjamin was a farmer with property worth $1000.

Benjamin Wilson and Lucy Whitlock had the following child:

+ 11 i. Samuel3 Wilson was born 13 FEB 1809. Benjamin Wilson and Dorcas H. Unknown (Wilson) had the following children: 12 ii. Thomas Wilson was born 18 MAY 1824. Thomas' birthdate is calculated from deathdate and age on tombstone: 23 y 6d. Thomas died 24 MAR 1847 at age 22.

 Third Generation

7. Eunice Northrup3 Wilson + (Elizabeth2, Thomas1) was born in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut 16 MAY 1799. Barbour Collection of Fairfield County Vital Records pg.6? - Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Eunice Wilson had a daughter Eunice Northrup 5-16-1799. Individual flags: Photograph. Eunice died 21 SEP 1867 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 68. Her body was interred SEP 1867 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

She married Rufus Smith + JAN 1819 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Notice of the marriage appeared in the January 19, 1819 issue of the Hartford Courant.

Rufus was born 10 MAY 1799 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Rufus was the son of Matthew Smith+ and Abigail Benedict+. Rufus died 19 JAN 1886 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 86. Mansfield Advertiser 23rd Jun 1886 - Rufus Smith died Sullivan township Jun 19th age 88.

His body was interred JAN 1886 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The tombstone of Rufus was cleaned and repaired in 1995 by Ken Carnwright of Canton, PA.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census in Walton, Delaware County, New York. Eunice and Rufus were present at the time of the census, and possibly long enough for their second child to be born in 1821, after which time they went on to Sullivan and located by Eunice's mother.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Eunice and Rufus were between 30 and 40 in this census. In their household were one male and two females under five, two females 5-10, and one male 10-15.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Eunice and Rufus were between 40 and 50 in the 1840 census. They had two males and one female under five, one male and one female 5-10, two females 10-15, and two females 15-20 in their household. One child, possibly Solomon, appears to be missing from the household and may be the unexplained 10-15 year old male in the household of Solomon & Lydia WOOD.

In the Census of 1850, Rufus was listed as a head of household in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Jacob Fisher, a 38 year old shoemaker born in Maryland, was also in the household for this census.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Only Timothy and Reuben remained in the household of Eunice and Rufus this year. Timothy was already married and his wife Sophia was also in the household.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Deke and Polly and their four children lived with Rufus this year although he maintained his head of household status. My great grandmother, Cora, was eight months old.

Rufus was listed as the head of a family on the 1880 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In this year Rufus was 80 years old and still listed as the head of the household and an active farmer. Son Deke, age 40 and his family lived with Rufus. Florence A. was the youngest child at nine months. Polly was keeping house. Edson at fifteen, worked on the farm. Minnie at thirteen did housework, and Cora at age ten attended school.

Rufus and Eunice came on ox sled and took over 100 acres adding 200 more. They left Connecticut following the birth of their first child. The 1820 New York Census placed them in Walton, New York where the second child may have been born. The third child was born in Sullivan Township. They settled the lower part of what later became Sanitarium Hill Road while Eunice's mother and step-father were higher on the same hill. The orginal homestead was on the other side of the road from the more recent site of the Sanitarium. It is understood that Rufus made the trip to Connecticut at least once more, staying with his mother for the winter, and driving cattle back to Pennsylvania the following spring. Family tradition has it that he brought a willow staff with him and planted it on his land. It grew and several of his descendants had trees started from the original. Rufus served as Justice of the Peace in Sullivan. The land that Rufus and Eunice settled passed through the family to their children Northrup and Matthew. Several of Northrup's children became homeopathic physicians and built a tuberculosis sanitarium. The original building burned and was replaced by a smaller one which stands today. After the deaths of that generation in the 1920s, the property was owned by Steadmans, then Prentice, then McIntee who sold some of the land across the road from the Sanitarium house to Cotton Hanlon. It is now owned by people named Zepp.

    She migrated from Ridgefield, Connecticut to Sullivan Township ABT 1822. Eunice and Rufus came over from Ridgefield on an ox sled. Apparently they came because Eunice's mother was already in Sullivan with her husband Seth Wood who may have come because his father Jonathan was here even earlier. Apparently the second child, Sarah, was born in Walton, Delaware County, on the trip over. Many records list Eunice as Eunice Wood because her mother married Seth Wood about two years after her birth and she was a member of the Wood household.

 Eunice Northrup Wilson+ and Rufus Smith+ had the following children:

+ 20 ii. Sarah Ann Smith was born 26 JUL 1821.

21 iii. Abigail Smith was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 22 AUG 1823. Abby died 20 NOV 1907 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 84. Her body was interred NOV 1907 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. She married Rufus Whitlock 15 JAN 1857 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Rufus was born 28 JAN 1829 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Rufus was the son of Joseph Whitlock and Polly Smith. Rufus died 25 AUG 1889 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 60. His body was interred AUG 1889 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

She became the foster mother of Morris Burr Whitlock AFT 1857 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Morris was raised by his aunt and uncle Abigail Smith and Rufus Whitlock. The adoption was not a formal one.

She became Lottie E. Hyatt's adoptive mother AFT 1872 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lottie was adopted as a young child by Abigail Smith and Rufus Whitlock and brought up by them in Sullivan Township.

Abby lived in the house below her parents on the road to Austinville. The land and house were given her and her husband by her parents. It is still standing in 1994 and has recently been remodeled by new owners. She and her husband Rufus Whitlock had no children but raised Morris Whitlock and Lottie Hyatt, the latter of whom they adopted. Both were relatives and are listed under their birth parents in this Smith work.

Abby apparently did a reverse migration spending time with relatives back in Ridgefield where she married and started her married life. Between 1860 and 1870 she returned to SUllivan Township with her husband and family.

+ 22 iv. Elizabeth Smith was born 7 MAY 1824.

23 v. Amanda Smith was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 16 MAR 1826. She married Oliver Dodge 29 OCT 1846. Oliver was born 2 OCT 1824 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Oliver was the son of Lorain Dodge and Jane Head. Oliver was listed as the head of a family on the 1850 Census in Columbia Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. A second Oliver Dodge was in Franklin Township in Bradford in 1850.

+ 24 vi. Solomon Henry Smith was born 4 DEC 1828.

25 vii. Samuel Benedict Smith was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 2 DEC 1830. Samuel died 19 DEC 1832 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 2. His body was interred DEC 1832 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

+ 26 viii. Nancy Emily Smith was born 14 APR 1833.

+ 27 ix. Mary A. Smith was born 29 JAN 1836.

+ 28 x. Timothy B. Smith was born 3 MAR 1838.

+ 29 xi. Matthew Richard Smith+ was born 16 NOV 1840.

+ 30 xii. Reuben M. Smith was born 17 APR 1842.

8. Solomon L.3 Wood + (Elizabeth2 Wilson, Thomas1) was born in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut 2 JAN 1802. Individual flags: Obituary; House. Solomon died 28 APR 1887 in Sanitarium Hill, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 85. Mansfield Advertiser 4 May 1887- Solomon Wood died Sullivan twp. Apr 28th age 85, born Ridgefield CT Jan 2nd 1802; came about 1820, married 1823 Lydia Gates (she died 1869), one son. Lemuel; two daughters, Mrs. J. W. Holly, Mrs. Louis Roblyer. His body was interred MAY 1887 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

 He married Lydia Gates + 20 JAN 1823 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Lydia was born 10 AUG 1800 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Lydia was the daughter of Stephen Gates+ and Mary Abbott+. Lydia died 30 OCT 1869 in Sanitarium Hill, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 69. Her body was interred NOV 1869 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. She migrated from Ridgefield, Connecticut to Sullivan Township 1823.

Work of Alice Ellingsberg and Work of Ellen Louise Smith Jacobus. Family legend tells that Lydia was from a well to do family and that she came to the Sullivan Township "frontier" with nicer clothes than many of the other women had. She also had a chair put in the wagon for her so that she could ride in better style and comfort than the others. She earned the reputation of being somewhat snobbish, but eventually adjusted to her changed circumstances.

 He migrated from Ridgefield, Connecticut to Sullivan Township 1823. Solomon registered to pay taxes 1829 in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Rutland Township was formed From Jackson and Sullivan in 1828. William Howland, William Rose and Ezra Wood performed the first tax assessment.
 
 

Solomon was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The household of Lydia and Solomon included themselves, one female 15-20 and one female 5-10. The younger would be Mary at age 6, and the older would be a visitor.
 
 

Solomon was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The household of Lydia and Solomon in 1840 included themselves and one male under 5, one male 10-15, two females under five, and one female 5-10. Both of them were in the 30-40 age category. This would mean that they had at least five children and not just the three that we know of. Alternatively, they may have had visiting children present in the household. Either Mary was absent from the household this year or she was erroneously listed as male 10-15. She should have been female 15-20. Alternatively the unexplained male 10-15 may be nephew Solomon Henry SMITH who appears to be missing from his parents' household at the time of the census.

In the Census of 1850, Solomon was listed as a head of household in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Daughter Mary with her husband and first child were living with Solomon and Lydia in 1850.

 Solomon was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Solomon and Lydia lived next to Abel Watkins. They were the last to be enumerated on August 10. Perhaps the census taker even spent the night with them and started on August 11, next door at the household of young Solomon and wife Emma. Lydia died before the next census, so Solompn spent both the 1870 and 1880 censuses in the household of son Solomon who apparently moved into the elder Wood's house with his family. Ridgefield Vital Records Vol.1, p. 162 Solomon Lemuel Wood Pension File Work of Alice Ellingsberg and work of Ellen Louise Smith Jacobus - One of the family stories passed on along with a chest used on the trip from Ridgefield to Sullivan by great granddaughter Ada Holly to her granddaughter Nancy Wood is the following. "The Wood family were sold their land by an agent who told them that the land in Pennsylvania was rich soil; not a rock in sight. As they walked with the ox cart, a little child was throwing stones. The adults assured him he'd better throw all the rocks he could find now, because there weren't going to be any when they reached Pennsylvania."

    Solomon L. Wood+ and Lydia Gates+ had the following children:
 
 

+ 31 i. Mary4 Wood + was born 15 SEP 1824.

+ 32 ii. Almira Wood was born 6 JUN 1833.

33 iii. (Daughter?) Wood was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 1836-40. This child was present in the household in the 1840 census but apparently did not survive.

34 iv. (Daughter?) Wood was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 1836-40. This child was present in the household in the 1840 census but apparently did not survive.

+ 35 v. Solomon Lemuel Wood was born 16 MAY 1838.

10. Thomas3 Wood (Elizabeth2 Wilson, Thomas1) was born in Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut 4 APR 1806. Thomas died 13 MAR 1886 in South Creek Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, at age 79.

 He married twice. He married Harriet Daniels. Harriet was born 17 Mar 1805 in East Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut. Harriet was the daughter of Lemuel Clark Daniels and Eunice Unknown (Daniels). Harriet died 1849 in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 44. He married DollyAnne Smith AFT 1850. DollyAnne was born 07 DEC 1810 in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. DollyAnne was the daughter of Jesse Smith* and Annis Worden. She married Arba Wood BEF 1828. DollyAnne died 4 OCT 1894 in Gillett, Ridgebury Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, at age 83. Her body was interred OCT 1894 in Gillett Cemetery, Gillett, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. In the Census of 1850, DollyAnne was listed as a head of household in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. DollyAnne's property was worth $1000.

 Thomas was listed as a household member living with Dwight Morgan on the 1850 Census in Armenia Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in South Creek Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1880 Census in South Creek Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Grandaughter Delphine was with Thomas and DollyAnne in the 1880 census. The family included Delphine's husband, James Will Mason and son Oley age 2.

 Thomas Wood and Harriet Daniels had the following children:

+ 36 i. Anna4 Wood.

37 ii. Andrew Wood. Andrew died young.

38 iii. Jane Wood. Jane died young.

+ 39 iv. Harriet Wood.

+ 40 v. John B. Wood was born 1827.

+ 41 vi. Clarinda Elizabeth Wood was born 15 APR 1829.

+ 42 vii. Frank H. Wood was born 10 NOV 1833.

43 viii. Priscilla Wood was born 1835. Priscilla died before 1880 in Columbia Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, at age unknown. I do not find Prisilla listed on the cemetery lists of Sylvania Cemetery, Card Cemetery, or Wood Cemetery. She could be in any of those without a surviving marker. She married C. Harvey Peters 01 Jul 1866 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Tioga County Agitator - July 25th 1866 issue: Married in Mansfield 1st instant., by the Rev. G. P. Watrous. Mr. Hervey C. Peters and Miss Priscilla L. Wood, both of Sullivan.

C. was born 20 JAN 1841 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. C. was the son of Alpheus Peters* and Nancy Unknown (Peters). C. died 19 May 1901 at age 60. His body was interred May 1901 in Granville, Granville Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.

Priscilla was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Columbia Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. The 1870 census for the Sylvania area of Columbia lists Harvey as a blacksmith. The two children in the household, Eddie born 1863, and Lottie born 1865, are probably from an earlier marriage of Harvey. In the 1880 Columbia Township census, Harvey was still a blacksmith with no family, indicating that Priscilla had died, and the children died or grown up.

+ 44 ix. Susanna Wood was born APR 1836.

+ 45 x. Mary Ann Wood was born 1840.

+ 46 xi. Seth W. Wood was born Feb 1845.

+ 47 xii. George Nelson Wood was born 26 MAY 1847.

11. Samuel3 Wilson (Benjamin2, Thomas1) was born in Connecticut 13 FEB 1809. Samuel died 7 SEP 1870 in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 61. His body was interred SEP 1870 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

 He married Betsey Unknown (Wilson) BEF 1832. Betsey was born 17 SEP 1814 in Pennsylvania. Betsey died 13 MAY 1883 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 68. Her body was interred MAY 1883 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Albert Oldroyd believes that this Betsey may be a daughter of James WILSON and Elizabeth PREDMORE. I believe she may be another of the missing daughters of Silas B. SMITH and Milly WOOD. She has a son Silas B. which strengthens this hypothesis.

Samuel was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The household of Samuel and Betsey included themselves and two females 5-10 and one female under age 5 in 1840.

 In the Census of 1850, Samuel was listed as a head of household in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Samuel was a farmer with propery worth $1200. The record indicates he was born i Connecticut. This may not be so since his parents were from New Jersey.

Samuel was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Samuel was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The Sam and Betsey household was in Sullivan in 1840 census and in Rutland 1850,1860,1870,1880. I do not know exact date of move to determine where children born between 1840 and 1850 were born.

Selah was born 18 FEB 1842 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Selah was the son of Abel Watkins and Mary "Polly" VanGorder. He married Susie Brace 1894. Not certain if Susie married this Selah or a son, if there is one. This Selah's wife died in 1893, so it could be the same one.

He married Emma Unknown (Watkins) AFT 1894. Selah died 16 SEP 1925 in Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 83. Obituary: SELAH WATKINS DEAD AFTER SHORT ILLNESS: WAS 84 YEARS OF AGE.

The first to Rosina is well documented. The second to Susie is documented form her obituary. She died shortly after marriage. It is assumed that this is the same Selah Watkins mentioned in her obitiuary. Information on the third wife is from the burial. Selah is buried with all three of these women.

Carlie and Milly wee still in the household, and an eleven year old boy William, called a son, but not present in earlier censuses. in The 1900 census Harriet claimed to have had five children with two living. We know the identity of five daughters, so this is further evidence that William was not a son.

(See June Mickley work for Nortrup's obituary following page 7.) In 1851 Northrup and Hiram Roblyer opened a store in Chandlersburg. Hiram retired in 1857 and Northrup continued the business for a number of years afterwards. Solomon Wood's letters to his future wife, Emma Doty, record his working for Northrup in his store. Northrup served several terms as Justice of the Peace in Sullivan township. He was elected in 1862 and re-elected in 1867, 1887, and 1892.

After the death of her mother, which occurred in 1874, she again went to her aunts for a few months but finally returned to help an older sister in caring for the younger brothers and sisters. Dec. 29, 1875, she married Clarence SMITH, son of Northrop Smith of Sullivan. In 1880 under the preaching of Rev. E. E. Morris she gave her heart to God and united with the M. E. Church at Elk Run, of which she has been a faithful and consistent member until God said, "It is enough, come up higher." She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, seven children, a father, two brothers and four sisters, besides other friends. The family have lost their best earthly friend, the brothers and sisters a loving sister, the church one of its most faithful devoted members. Those that knew her best loved her most. The high place she held in the hearts of people was shown by the large number that gathered to pay a last tribute of respect and love to one of their number whom God in His providence had seen fit to call home. The funeral was held in the Elk Run M.E. Church June 19, 1900, Rev. W. H. Yard officiating. Clarence Smith obtained a Common School education, followed farming in Sullivan Township until 1880 when he engaged in the manufacture of lumber at Elk Run. He was a mechanic and a millwright by occupation. He was a Republican and filled a number of local public offices. At one time, Clarence ran the store at Elk Run. My father remembers that he sold Prince Albert tobacco, 12 cents a can or 25 cents for two. He also would take half pennies from children. They would manage to get them halved and he would accept it for half of a penny's worth of candy. The kids did it to save money, but they usually liked the candy so much they spent the other half penney, too.

His body was interred JAN 1849 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Everett was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Everettt lived with an older woman 50-60 in this census. This was probably his mother, Sophronia who was between marriages at this time. There was also a female child age 5-10 in the household. The middle name of Everett, which he used as his main name, does not give us a clue to the maternity of Everett as he got it from his paternal grandmother, Silve EVERETT.

She married Lorain Dodge Jr. 19 NOV 1852. Lorain was born 24 MAY 1826 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lorain was the son of Lorain Dodge and Jane Head. Lorain died 6 MAY 1900 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 73. in Leon Whitlock household Sullivan 193 in 1900 census

Sarah Ann Smith and Thomas Everett Rexford had the following children:

Tioga County Agitator - June 1st 1864 issue: Married in Holidaytown, 10th instant, by G.D. Keeney, Esq., Mr. Thomas R. Rexford of Sullivan to Miss Lydia J. Riley, of Middlebury.

Lydia was born 1845 in Pennsylvania.

74 ii. Henry E. Rexford was born in Tioga County, Pennsylvania SEP 1848. Henry served in the military about 1863. Henry was in the G.A.R. at Sylvania, PA. June Mickley says he is buried in Wood Cemetery, but there is no longer a marker. Bert Strange diary records that "Hen Rexford and Eugene Thrall had a fight." on monday Sept. 29, 1902.

Sarah Ann Smith and Lorain Dodge Jr. had the following child: 75 iii. Julia Ann Dodge was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 22 SEP 1853. Julia died 11 JUL 1928 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut, at age 74. Her body was interred Jun 1928 in Ridgefield Cemetery, Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. She married Morris Burr Whitlock 13 FEB 1873. Morris was born 1854 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Morris was the son of Henry Whitlock and Matilda (Lucy) Burr *. Morris died 18 FEB 1913 at age 58. His body was interred Feb 1913 in Ridgefield Cemetery, Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Morris became a foster child AFT 1857 in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Morris was raised by his aunt and uncle Abigail Smith and Rufus Whitlock. The adoption was not a formal one. Morris was raised by Rufus Whitlock and Abby Smith, probably his aunt and uncle. He died of blood poisoning in one leg. He had a wooden leg and amputated his second leg prior to death. This probably resulted from diabetes melitis. He ran a livery stable in Ridgefield and one at home. He was a handsome man, with black hair and big brown eyes. His mother, Matilda, after death of Henry (her husband) lived with Morris and Florence. He died 6 months after Henry AUG 1913. From notes in material from Ellen Smith (Jacobus) Julia appears to have done a reverse of the migration that brought her grandparents from Ridgefield to Sullivan Township. She was born in Sullivan and died in Ridgefield. It will be interesting to see if we can find out where and with whom. Since her husband was a Whitlock born in Ridgefield, she may have been with some of his family members. Their children were born in Sullivan. Morris died before her but I do not know whether he died in Ridgefield or Sullivan or somewhere else. Needs further investigation. 22. Elizabeth4 Smith (Eunice Northrup3 Wilson, Elizabeth2, Thomas1) was born in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 7 MAY 1824.

She married Ernest Rexford. Ernest was the son of Thomas Rexford and Sophronia Rose. A Levi Rexford was listed in the 1840 Census Index CD Rom with a note that the person transcribing it had difficulty with the first name. I do not find an Ernest Rexford in the 1850 census index, but several other Rexfords were in Harmony. I do not know the source that gave Harmony as a birthplace for one of the Rexford children and can not evaluate its reliability. NOTE Check June Mickley's work.

Elizabeth Smith and Ernest Rexford had the following children:

Those who remember Polly, and they are old people now, remember her very dark eyes. We have just one snapshot of her as an older woman and photographs when she was younger and they show the very dark, deep set eyes. Polly's father died when she was eleven years old. She married at age 16 and moved to the Sanitarium Hill farm of her husband's family. In the 1860 census, one of her younger brothers was living with her there. She was widowed at the age of 61 and lived another 23 years. As an older woman she had Alzheimer's or some similar disease and was under the care of various of her children. Both my father, Leslie M. TICE, and Ellen SMITH Jacobus remember how difficult she was to care for when she was staying with her daughter Cora SMITH Tice not long before her death.

Deke lived on Sanitarium Hill where his parents had settled. The farm was known as the Deke Smith place within the memory of people still living. This is on the other side of the road from the sanitarium. Joan O'dell remembers a foundation in that area. Herman Tears claims to have plowed it all under when he farmed the same land.

She was ever looking on the bright side. If she had trials and afflictions she always buried them deeply. She always thought of everyone else before herself. Even when that dreadful disease cancer was growing upon her she chose to bear it silently rather than distress those she loved. She was patient and cheerful until the end. Her body was interred JUN 1893 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

She married Joseph Wilson Holly + 23 SEP 1846. Joe and his brother William were married on the same day. This same marriage date was given in Mary's obituary.
 
 

Joe was born 26 SEP 1820 in Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Joe was the son of Joseph H. Holly+ and Sarah McWhorter+. Joe died 11 AUG 1894 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 73. Joe was living in the household of his daughter Eda and died instantly of a stroke at the supper table. Death of an Old Resident(Obituary Notice) Mr. J.W.Holly died quite unexpectedly last Saturday morning at 2 o'clock at the home of his daughter Mrs. A.M. Crippen of this boro. The immediate cause of death was apoplexy. Mr. Holly was born Sept. 26,1820, at Wells, Pa., and there resided until 1834 when his parents moved to this county. he remained a member of his father's household until the fall of 1846, when he married Miss Mary Wood. The young couple soon afterward established for themselves a home and for forty years were counted among the substantial farmers of Rutland township. Mr. Holly united with the Rutland M.E.Church in 1853 and was a class leader and active member of that congregation for many years. He was generous to a fault, ever willing to do his full share in carrying forward any good work. His health had been steadily failing for three years, so that while his death was unexpected the end had been thought for some time to not be far off. His wife preceded him to the other shore by about a year. He is survived by four daughters: Mrs. Menzo Mudge (Ruth Holly) of Elk Run; Mrs. A.M.Crippen, of Mansfield, Mrs. Charles Sanders of Elmira, and Mrs. George M. Cornell, of Austinville. Rev. Paul Smith conducted the burial services, which were held on Sunday from the church of whose congregation he had so long been a member. The burial was in the Wood Cemetery.

His body was interred AUG 1894 in Wood Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Joe was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In the census of Sullivan Township in 1850 Mary and Joe were living with Mary's parents Solomon & Lydia. They had a one year old child. In 1860 they were across the road from Mary's parents and her brother Solomon's household. They had 3 children ages 4, 2, and 4 months. Also Thomas Comfort, younger brother of Polly COMFORT Smith was with them. This was their first census in the house they built about 1853.

Joe was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Joe was listed as the head of a family on the 1880 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

We are fortunate to have the 1880 Diary of Joe Holly. It was taken to North Dakota by Lelia WOOD Strouse, the grandmother of Alice STROUSE Ellingsberg, who was a niece of Mary and Joe. When Lelia died and her house was to be torn down, Alice found the diary on the floor in the attic on her last visit into the house before its demolition. She posted a note at the Tioga County Historical Society about 1988 and I found it there in 1992. On a business trip to North Dakota that same year, Alice gave me the diary.

Mary and Joe built the house that Beardslees and Smiths (Roland and Shirley) lived in in the mid twentieth century. Before that my grandfather Tice had grown up in that house and carved his initials in the cellar door. Joan NASH O'Dell who grew up in the house with her Beardslee grandparents, says her grandmother always griped about the Tices for using so many nails when in fact it was probably Joe Holly and Mary Wood who used so many nails building it.

Mary lived her whole life on Sanitarium Hill in Sullivan Township. She was born there in 1824, the first child of her young parents who had so recently migrated from Connecticut. She lived with her parents for several years after her marriage, even when her first children were born. By 1853, she and Joe were able to build a house just down the road from her parents and she lived there until the day she died, probably no more than 500 feet from where she had been born. In Joe's 1880 diary he seldom mentioned her, only when she accompanied him on a shopping trip. Apparently he took her presence so much for granted that it was not necessary to say that she was there.

Mary Wood+ and Joseph Wilson Holly+ had the following children:

She married Menzo A. Mudge+ 4 NOV 1891. Menzo was born 15 SEP 1858 in Elk Run, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Menzo was the son of Amos Mudge+ and Lucy Ann Bronson+. He married Stella V. Welch 19 MAR 1884 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Menzo died 28 AUG 1911 in Elk Run, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 52.

His body was interred AUG 1911 in State Road Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. At in Elk Run, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania he employed an unknown person. Rev. Will Walker wrote down his earliest memories in 1932. In about 1889, when Will was a little fellow, his mother was hired by Amos and Menzo Mudge to keep house after the death of Menzo's first wife, Caroline. " I also recall other happenings during the summer of 1889. Death visited the home of a family living in a town of Channelsburg about eight miles from my home (Chandlersburg is an earlier name for Elk Run and was still used concurrently well into the twentieth century). Their names were Mudge. Mr. Mudge's wife and his son's wife dies almost the same day. All were living in one home. We were living with Henry French, who is the husband of my oldest sister, Mattie. Mr. Mudge and son needed someone to help them badly in their home. Mother took me with her and for two months. lived as the Mudge home and did the house work. I recall the older Mr. Mudge very well. Instead of an express wagon to play with, I had what used to be the axle and wheels of an ancient express wagon, which I would play with by the hour in the front yard. What fun it was to lean over and grasp that axle, with a small wheel at each end, and run with it bending over it. It was rather a ludicrous position at play, and I recall how Mr. Mudge would sit on the porch and enjoy many a hearty laugh at my doings. I recall company there one day and Mr. Mudge had me go out in the yard and show them my trick with the old axle and wheels. I was two years and two months old at the time.

" I also recall another happening there at Mudge's that summer. There was a black and white pig kept in a pen down back of the barn, and one day I must have spent an hour throwing stones at the poor pig. In fact the floor of the pen was near covered with stone the size of your hand. The younger Mr. Mudge discovered me at last and picking me up, he carried me into the kitchen where my mother was. I don't recall that he even told mother of what he found me doing."

He made a will 3 MAR 1911 in Elk Run, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Menzo's will was filed as No 5409 in the Register's Office on 28 Nov 1911. Loren Mudge was executor and witnesses were Harvey B. Leach and J. B. McConnell Menzo was a hired hand in the George Crippen household 1880 as hired hand. Manzo farmed all his life on the Gray Vally Road farm just up the hill from Elk Run that had belonged to his parents. Married for the first time at 18, widowed at 28. She was five years between marriages, so that she was 35 when she married Menzo. Her second family was born when she was between 37 and 43 years old. She died in mid September when I was five weeks old. My mother had brought me to see her as I was her first great grandchild. She was blind but Aunt Nellie took me to her and she was able to hold me and touch my face. She was well known for the many quilts she pieced by hand and quilted. People who were alive then remember her sitting by the window of the Mudge home on Gray Valley Road in Sullivan Township working on her quilts when they passed by. Anne PRATT has family papers that give middle name of Marie.

112 iv. Mary Eda Holly was born in Sanitarium Hill, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania 29 JAN 1860. Eda died 1926 of Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 66. Her body was interred 1926 in Prospect Cemetery, Mansfield, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. She married A. Morton Crippen 17 AUG 1881 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Mansfield Advertiser 24th Aug 1881: Married Mort Crippen & Miss Eda Holly, Sullivan twp. at res of George Horton, Mansfield, Aug 17th, Rev. J. Boyce. Double wedding with sister Mira.

A. was born 1858. A. was the son of George Crippen and Diantha Dann. A. died 1939 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 81. His body was interred 1939 in Prospect Cemetery, Mansfield, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. One notice says Eda married A. C. Crippen, but Joe's obituary says A. M. Crippen and he is son of George and Diantha. Tombstone says Morton. Eda passed the teachers exam and taught at one of the little one room schoolhouses in Rutland township. Her father would take her and her sister Mira to their schools every Monday morning and pick them up on Friday afternoons. He never specified who they stayed with, but assumedly with a close family. None of the schools were very far away by today's standards, but apparently daily transportation was not adequate or practical. One taught at Burton Hill and the other at the Oldroyd School. This information comes from Joe's 1880 Diary. Joe died at Eda's house in Mansfield in 1894, had a stroke at the supper table and died on the spot.

Family papers of Anne PRATT give first name of Mary, which Eda did not use.

He knew Mira prior to World War II, when he lived in Buffalo and had dinner most every Sunday at Dora and Avery's house. Harvey describes Mira as a "queen", with great bearing."

Hiram moved to Rutland Township in 1837 with his parents. In 1851, he and his brother-in-law, Northrop Smith, opened a store in Chandlersburg (Elk Run). In 1857, he sold his interest to Northrop and bought a 104 acre farm on the Rutland Sullivan township border. He was a Republican. He was a successful farmer, and he also made excellent furniture some of which Inez ROBLYER Covell still owns.

The subject of this sketch came to Tioga county with his parents when twelve years old, and was reared to manhood in Rutland township. He afterwards worked as a farm hand- for several years. In 1851 he embarked in merchandising at Elk Run in partnership with Northrop Smith, but in 1857 he sold his interest to Mr. Smith and bought his present farm of 104 acres on which he has since lived. Mr. Roblyer was married October 3,1850, to Almira Wood, a daughter of Solomon and Lydia Wood, of Sullivan township, where her parents settled in 1821. Three children have been born to this union, viz: Herbert, resident of Delmar; Levi, who lives in Sullivan, and Harvey, who died November 18,1877. In politics, Mr. Roblyer is a Republican, and has served as auditor and treasurer of his township. Both he and wife are members of East Sullivan Grange.

Rose spent her elder years after Levi's death in a small shack at the foot of Ashley Hill near Bryant's house but on the other side of the road and further along the road from the hill. Joan Nash O'Dell tells of going there to sell Rose seeds when she was a student. Rose had a five gallon pail full of change which was probably all the money she had in the world. She went to the curtain behind her bed and brought out the pail to get the money to pay for the seeds.

She eventually moved to the Binghamton NY area with her niece and died there.

MY MEMORIES OF LEVI AND ROSE ROBLYER

We had not lived in the north Bungy Road area very long when Levi got sick and died. (DOD 1938) Being a good neighbor there was, of course, conversation and plans about sending food in during the funeral time. When it was time to take the food across the way, I made myself very available because I wanted to see someone who had died so I tagged along with my grandmother. Little did I know at age 8 or 9 what my future profession would be! (Joan was a nurse)

About all that I remember is that Levi looked very long to me and that he had on bib overalls. Later the funeral was held at the home and I remember seeing several cars lined up in the driveway. Levi and Rose had never had an automobile so that was a different sight from our house.

After a time lapse a shack between Stella Bryant's residence and the Rumsey bridge on the Ashley Hill Road was renovated and Rose moved in. (The 1875 atlas lists this place as the G. E. Goodrich residence.) At the time I wondered why she left a large farm house and moved into very minimal housing. In more recent years the injustice has been revealed to me.

During the 1930's and early 1940's country school children often sold things as a school project. The rewards for the kids were prizes of different values. One year our school sold garden seeds. I attended Lawrence Corners School, but I knew that Bungy School, another school in the area, had the same project. I remember that I wanted to sell enough seeds to get a certain mechanical pencil prize so I hit the road as soon as I got home from school so I could get to the available customers first. Rosie was on my planned route. I knocked on her door and she invited me in. I had been a bit apprehensive about my one on one encounter with this little old lady, but I wanted to sell seeds! I didn't even know that she might want any seeds, but I was there to sell. What I saw was one room ear of the dwelling. There was no telephone or electricity. There was a curtain hung across one end of the room and this served as her bedroom.

Rosie selected a few packets of seeds and then disappeared behind this curtain to get the money for her purchase. She reappeared with a five pound honey pail nearly full of change. I later told my grandmother about the pail of money and she commented that it may be all the money the poor woman had. I thought that Rosie didn't need to worry because that looked like a lot of money to me! I did sell enough seeds that year to get the pencil.

Rosie always appeared old, wrinkled and not too clean. When one would pass by she sometimes would be outside doing rather laborious work. I suppose she had no place to bathe and not a very nutritious diet. She spoke very little and was mild mannered. Carroll McConnell and I decided to nick-name ourselves after the two old ladies that lived nearly side by side on this road. She became Stella and I was Rosie. This precipitated much giggling on our part, as you can imagine. We did have this reputation!! To this day whenever Carroll and I correspond we sign our names accordingly.

I don't recall how long Rosie lived in this location, but I believe it was for a few years. I think she moved away after I entered nurses' training in 1947. I look back now on the social structure in that period of time and the lack of care for the elderly, particularly those with no children. I doubt if Rosie received any Social Security even though it started in 1936. What was her income? She had no medical care and no way to communicate in case of an emergency.

Even though I write these memories with humor and amazement I reflect on how lonely this harmless woman must have been. I do remember that she was robbed one time, but I do not know any details at this illness. Many of the details about the existence of this lady I never knew or they have faded with time, but my perspective is quite different now in 1997 than in 1940 when a child.

He married Amanda Doty 7 FEB 1859 in Pine Woods, New York. Emma was born 28 JUL 1841 in Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Emma was the daughter of Benjamin Doty and Jerusha Wright*. Emma died 25 SEP 1915 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 74. Her body was interred SEP 1915 in Prospect Cemetery, Mansfield, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In Emma's era, Emma was a common name for Amanda.

Lem was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Solomon and Emma and daughter Lizzie age seven months, were the first to be enumerated on the morning of August 11. They were next door to his parents on one side and his sister Mary WOOD Holly on the other. They were probably living in a smaller house on the parents property.

Lem served in the military 16 OCT 1862 in Wellsboro, Delmar Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lem was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Solomon and Emma lived between Rufus SMITH and Emma's brother Daniel DOTY. Both Lem's father Solomon and his uncle Levi GATES were in the household this year. Lem and Emma had moved into the larger family home and the little house between that and sister Mary WOOD Holly was occupied by Daniel DOTY and wife Esther HOLLY.

Lem was listed as the head of a family on the 1880 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lem and Emma still had the elder Solomon in the household at age 78 labelled with "Debility." In addition to the family members, future son in law, Nelson Holly, was there as a farm hand. Fanny Payne age 17 and teaching school was also in the household. She was probably teaching at the Holly School which was just down the hill between J. W. and Mary Holly and A. Watkins.

Lem was listed as the head of a family on the 1910 Census in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. He made a will 04 JAN 1923 in Mansfield, Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

Cora was born 1863 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Cora was the daughter of George Welch and Lucia Woodward*. She married Henry Kagan*. Cora died 21 DEC 1927 at age 64. Cora's situation is confusing and conflicting. She had two husbands: Wesley Wood and Henry Kagan or Regan and two children, Guy and Edith.

Pat Buck, Sept. 95, indicates Guy and Edith children of first marriage to Wesley Wood which ended in divorce. Sometimes the WOOD children were recorded with the KAGAN surname.

Buried with Harry Brown and Harriett Wood 1879 , a daughter? - No, Harriet was second wife. See 1900 Sullivan census. Have put Guy with first wife, Cora Welch although Minnie Welch does not mention son in her Welch genealogy. Guy is listed on census as b 1877 with age 13, so error has been made on one. Also, Welch genealogy lists a marriage of Cora to Harry Kagan with son Guy Kagan, so most likely that is why this is, and census taker did not bother to get last name right, or name changed to Wood? - Sep. 1995- Letter from Pat Buck indicates Wesley and Cora divorced, Edith and Guy children of their marriage.
