Families of Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania By J. Kelsey Jones - May 2016 Edition

Photo October 1998 by Joyce M. Tice

The Mill Creek Valley with its glistening waters, tranquil valley, and gently rolling hills is undoubtedly one of Tioga County's most scenic areas. The early families who settled in what became Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania settled along Mill Creek where they found the soils rich and fertile in the valley dotted by glacial mound deposits evident throughout the valley. Mill Creek has its beginning in western Columbia Township, Bradford County, which borders Rutland Township to the east. The creek meanders westward through the township to cut the township nearly in half. As it reaches the western portion of the township a large fertile plain developed where Elk Creek meets Mill Creek from the south and Bailey Creek meet Mill Creek from the north. Mill Creek continues to flow westward to the Tioga River.

Mill Creek that crosses the pastoral fields and meadows found settlers along its waters soon after 1800. It is unclear how the first families arrived in the Mill Creek Valley, if they came overland via some route or followed the Tioga River and traveled east on Mill Creek. Many of the early settlers, including the Bacon, Clark, Corey, Harris, and Rose families, arrived from Bennington County, Vermont. Settlement was slow. By the 1820 census there were only about twenty families residing in present Rutland Township. There were near neighbors and relatives in neighboring western Columbia Township, Bradford County, several families from Vermont having settled in that township. Several families had settled along Mill Creek and remained only a few years and moved on. These early pioneers established farms along Mill Creek on warrant parcels 171, 224, 232, 285, 539, 974, 975, and 976 (see 1875 Rutland Township map for warrant locations). There was also a small settlement north of the valley on warrant parcel 1373 at what became known as Pumpkin Hill. The early families were found in the Tioga Township census of 1810, one of only two townships that existed at that date within Tioga County. They are found a few years later on the first assessment of 1812 and on the special assessment of the County in 1814, when ages were included, which have been helpful to help identify some family members. The Mill Creek settlers are then found on the first assessment of Jackson Township of 1816. These assessment records are important in helping to establish arrival dates and helpful in identifying children for some of those families unable to pay for the schooling of their children. They continue to appear on the Jackson Township assessment lists and the 1820 census of enumeration of Jackson Township until Rutland Township was created in 1828 from Sullivan Township to the south and Jackson Township to the north.

Many of the early burials of the settlers are unmarked. There was an early burial ground in the eastern portion of the township on warrant parcel 974 a short distance south of Mill Creek and on the north side of the main road between Columbia Township and Roseville. The nearly round elevated glacial mound rises several feet above the plain of the valley floor. Many native stones bearing no inscriptions mark burials of the earliest settlers in the center and at the top of the mound, which acquired the name of the Clark Burial Ground. Lemuel Clark, a Revolutionary soldier lies buried in the cemetery along with several family members and other families who resided in the vicinity. Burials probably ceased shortly after 1850. There was an early burial ground on another glacial elongated mound on the south side of Mill Creek at what is now the borough of Roseville, several hundred yards east of Watson Cemetery. Burials are related to have been removed from this early burial ground to the newer Watson Cemetery. Still to be seen are several native stone markers indicating burials and the foundations for a few engraved markers also exist, those markers evidently removed to the Watson Cemetery, and no doubt the remnants of some bodies still repose there. Further west in the valley and nearly half way between Roseville and Lawrence Corners was another early burial ground, which became known as the Bentley Cemetery. The cemetery is north of Mill Creek and on the south side of the main road, now known as Route 549. There are over thirty markers of native stone bearing no inscription, predominantly clustered on the top of the mound, where are located the oldest graves. Dan Wattles, a revolutionary soldier is buried in the cemetery, a descendant at some point knowing his burial location and erecting a marker.

The scenic valley has changed little since the first settlers arrived to clear the land and begin their lives. The wire fence has replaced the rail and stone, and farms still flourish along Mill Creek with hay bales dotting the valley and cattle grazing on the hillside slopes. The only hamlet, known as the borough of Roseville, is a cluster of several homes and a few business activities and houses of worship.

The family sketches below will concentrate on those families who arrived by 1820 or earlier in the Mill Creek Valley in what is now Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

BACON

Daniel Bacon b. 5 June 1748 Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut son of Ebenezer Bacon and Margery Markham m. 27 Apr 1777 (vr and family bible record) at Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut, Olive Darby b. 9 Apr 1750 (vr) Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut daughter of William Darby and Abigail Cleveland. Family record gives 22 Apr as date of birth. Enumerated in Shaftsbury, Bennington County, Vermont in 1790 as Daniel Bakon with one male of age sixteen and over (b. before 1774), four males under age sixteen (b. 1775-90), and three females. Enumerated in Sunderland, Bennington County, Vermont in 1800 with two males under age ten (b. 1791-1800), one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1785-90), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1775-84), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1755), one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1785-90), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1755). A Pennsylvania Supreme Court case indicates Daniel and Olive’s son Alvin was settled on land in 1804, which could indicate the entire family moved to Mill Creek in what became Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania at that date. Daniel was of Tioga Township, Tioga County, 1 Mar 1809, one of only two townships in existence at that date, and called yeoman, when he purchased (Liber 1:188) 151 acres on warrant parcel 232 from John Steinmetz and others of Philadelphia. Sons, Alvin, William, and Ebenezer also purchased lands on the same warrant parcel 232. Warrant parcel 232 can be seen on the 1875 atlas of Rutland Township and one corner extended from Lawrence Corners (present Bailey Creek Road and Route 549 east along Route 549 to present Dunkleberger Road in the Mill Creek Valley. Enumerated in Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1810, one of only two townships in existence at that date, with three males of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), one male over age forty five (b. before 1765), and one female over age forty five (b. before 1765). The portion of the census with females under age ten and females of age ten and under age sixteen is missing that may have contained daughters in the household. Daniel appears on the 1812 assessment list of Tioga Township, the first known assessment to be in existence, with 100 acres, 2 horses, and 1 cow. Olive d. 12 Apr 1813, five days after son Alvin, one day after son Daniel, and four days after Alvin’s wife. They evidently died of the bilious fever epidemic of 1813 which seems to have been quite prevalent and is noted in newspapers such as the Luzerne County Gleaner of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania and noted in medical publications of the time. Their likely place of interment may have been the Bentley Cemetery which was within warrant parcel 232 and is on a small rise that overlooks the valley and nearby Mill Creek and is situated on the south side of present Route 549. This cemetery is very old and contains some of the earliest settlers, the top portion of the cemetery containing the oldest markers with several rows of native stones marking graves but bearing no inscriptions. Daniel appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. Daniel was listed as age 67, farmer. Daniel appears on the 1818 assessment list of Jackson Township (Rutland not yet created), Tioga County. On the 1819 assessment list Daniel had transferred property to William Bacon, which is confirmed by a deed (Liber 4:399) of 8 Dec 1818 when Daniel Bacon of Jackson Township conveyed to William D. Bacon of Jackson Township, 151 acres on warrant parcel 232. Witnessed by Lemuel Wood and Ebenezer Bacon. Daniel and perhaps a second wife were perhaps the male and female over age forty five (b. before 1775) in the household of son William in Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1820 (Rutland Township not yet created). Four of their children removed to Hector, Tompkins County (that portion that became Schuyler County), New York and were enumerated there in 1825. If Daniel. Daniel d. 24 Jan 1826 Hector, New York.

Dates of birth for children from a family bible, which also included the family of their son William Darby Bacon. A copy was made by Cordie M. Averitt from the bible by Cordie M. Averitt, a school teacher and court reporter, and the accuracy of her transcription can be collaborated by town birth records and other information.

1.  Alice Bacon b. 12 July 1778 (vr) Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut d. 28 Dec 1796 Sunderland, Bennington County, Vermont. Sunderland is about 12 miles from Shaftsbury Center and it is unknown if Alice had married (she would have been 18 years and 5 months old at death) or if the family had moved there. Date of death and location from family bible record.
2.  Alvin Bacon b. 12 (vr) 13 (family bible record) Sept 1779 (vr and family bible record) Canterbury.
3.  Ebenezer Bacon b. 8 Jan 1781 (vr) Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut d. 12 May 1786 5y 2m 4d (ts) Shaftsbury Center Cemetery. Age on marker would place birth at 8 Mar 1781. The family bible record and Shaftsbury town record agree with 12 May 1786.

Second Generation:
2.  Alvin Bacon b. 13 Sept 1779 m. Anna Fellows believed to be a daughter of Nathan Fellows and Hannah Orvis early settlers in Smithfield Township in what became Bradford County, Pennsylvania. The Congregational church of East Smithfield was organized in Poultney, Vermont, 11 Feb 1801, by Rev. Elijah Norton and Rev. Lemuel Haynes. The church then consisted of Solomon Morse, Samuel Kellogg, Esq., and Nathan Fellows. On 8 Apr 1803 in the church records – “died Hannah Margret Fellows dau of Nathan Fellows aged 13 years.” In May 1803 – “received Anna Fellows by letter.” Nathan Fellows is related to have been a minister and they removed to Sugar Creek in Burlington, Bradford County. At a meeting of the inhabitants and settlers of Sugar-Creek Settlement (settled under the Connecticut Susquehannah Company's purchase) at the house of John Ballad, 2nd on said creek, on Aug. 10th: Nathan Fellows was chosen chairman and Nathaniel Allen, clerk of said meeting. After taking into consideration the situation of the settlers and inhabitants so as aforesaid convened, and what may be the object or views of the adverse claimants, in sending an agent, or spy amongst us. It was unanimously resolved and 4 resolutions adopted (Luzerne County Federalist, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, August 20, 1803).

The Fellows family removed to Tioga County and were enumerated in Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1810, one of only two townships in existence at the time. They perhaps returned to Smithfield and in the church records of 7 Apr 1813 – “died Hannah Fellows wife of Nathan Fellows, aged 61 years 11 months & 14 days.”

Nathan and Hannah had daughters who have not been identified by Fellows family researchers. It is believed one of their daughters m. Alvin Bacon. Nathan and Hannah had a son David Fellows. Alvin and Anna named his first son David F. Bacon, whose full name may have been David Fellows Bacon.

Alvin was of Tioga Township, Tioga County, and called yeoman, 1 Mar 1809, one of only two townships in existence at that date, when he purchased (Liber 3:70) 136 acres on warrant parcel 232 from John Steinmetz and others of Philadelphia along lands of Isaac Westcut. His father and brothers William and Ebenezer purchased lands on the same warrant parcel 232. On the same date, Alvin purchased (Liber 3:74) 56 acres on Mill Creek from Charles Pleasants and others. Warrant parcel 232 can be seen on the 1875 atlas of Rutland Township and one corner extended from Lawrence Corners (present Bailey Creek Road and Route 549 east along Route 549 to present Dunkleberger Road in the Mill Creek Valley. Alvin was enumerated in Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1810, one of only two townships in existence at that date, with three males under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). The portion of the census with females under age ten and females of age ten and under age sixteen is missing, that may have contained daughters in the household. Alvin appears on the 1812 assessment list of Tioga Township, the first known to be in existence, with 150 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cows. Alvin d. 7 Apr 1813, Anna d. 8 Apr 1813, brother Daniel d. 11 Apr 1813 and Alvin’s mother d. 12 Apr 1813. Their likely place of interment may have been the Bentley Cemetery which was within warrant parcel 232 and is on a small rise that overlooks the valley and nearby Mill Creek situated on the south side of present Route 549. This cemetery is very old and contains some of the earliest settlers, the top portion of the cemetery containing the oldest markers with several rows of native stones marking graves and bearing no inscriptions. Probate of estate of Alvin dated 12 Oct 1813 Tioga County. Administration granted to brother Ebenezer Bacon, Daniel Bacon and William Kaseby. Daniel Bacon and William D. Bacon appointed guardians of children, January 1814.

On 9 Feb 1830 Hiram Bacon of Rutland conveyed (Liber 8:208) 54 acres, acquired by Hiram as one of three children of Alvin Bacon. On 21 June 1830, David F. Bacon conveyed (Liber 10:345) 54 acres by lands of Richard Pemberton, being an undivided 1/3 part of land. No deed recorded for the other brother distributing his interest in the 54 acres.

A Pennsylvania Supreme Court case involved the above land in Longwell versus Bentley. A person, who without title had taken possession of land, afterwards purchased the interest of two of the three heirs to whom it belonged, and subsequently took a lease from the said two of the share of the other heir who was absent and probably dead. In an action of partition by one who claimed the third share under a subsequent agreement in writing from the first two heirs, it was held, that notwithstanding the lease, the defendant might show that he had the exclusive and adverse possession of the whole of the land. The action of partition was taken by John D. Longwell against Bethuel Bentley, for partition of a tract of land containing about 54 acres and 106 perches. The summons was issued 8 Apr 1850. The case was tried Sept 1853. At the trial, evidence was given on part of the plaintiff, to show that Alvin Bacon lived on the land in 1804, and died in possession of it in 1813. Also a deed to him by Charles Pleasants and others in Mar 1809. Alvin Bacon left three children, all in their minority, viz., Hiram, the eldest, aged about six years; David, aged about four  years; and Daniel, aged about two years. The defendant, Bentley, went into possessin of the premises in 1826. It was stated that the father of the defendant had been one of the guardians of the children of Alvin Bacon, and probably gave permission to the defendant to take possession. On 9 Feb 1830 Hiram Bacon, the eldest son, conveyed the one undivided third part of the land to Bethuel Bentley, the defendant. On 1 June 1830, David F. Bacon, the second son, conveyed to said Bentley, the one undivided third part. In relation to Daniel Bacon, the third son, it was testified that he went away when about ten or twelve years of age, to live with his uncle in the state of New York; that he afterwards left there, and had not been heard of for some years. One person testified that he had seen him in 1827 or 1828, and had never heard of him since. Two or more testified that it was reported that he was dead ten or twelve years or more.

11.  Daniel Bacon.

4.  William Darby Bacon b. 6 Apr 1783 was of Tioga Township, Tioga County, 1 Mar 1809, one of only two townships in existence at that date, when he purchased (Liber 1:193) 91 acres on warrant parcel 232 from John Steinmetz and others of Philadelphia. His father and brothers Alvin and Ebenezer purchased lands on the same warrant parcel 233. Warrant parcel 232 can be seen on the 1875 atlas of Rutland Township and one corner extended from Lawrence Corners (present Bailey Creek Road and Route 549 east along Route 549 to present Dunkleberger Road in the Mill Creek Valley. William m. 20 June 1810 (family bible record) Sally Wood b. 17 Aug 1789 Hubbardton, Vermont (Bacon family bible record) daughter of Lemuel Wood and Salome Gregory who settled on Pumpkin Hill in Rutland Township. Enumerated in Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1810, one of only two townships in existence at that date, with one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). The portion of the census with females under age ten and females of age ten and under age sixteen is missing that may have contained other household members. William appears on the 1812 assessment list of Tioga Township, the first known to be in existence, with 91 acres, 2 oxen, and 2 cows. William appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. William was listed as age 33, farmer. William appears on the first assessment of Jackson Township, Tioga County in 1816 (Rutland Township had not yet been created). William acquired (Liber 4:399) on 8 Dec 1818, the 151 acres that was his parent’s farm on warrant parcel 232. Witnessed by Lemuel Wood and Ebenezer Bacon. Enumerated in Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1820 with three males under age ten (b. 1811-20), one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1775), one female under age ten (b. 1811-20), one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). He was a justice of the peace in 1821. William last appears on the 1823 assessment list (compiled late fall of 1822) of Jackson. The 1824 assessment list does not exist. William D. Bacon and Sally Bacon, his wife, conveyed (Liber 6:82) the 151 acre farm of his parents that he acquired on warrant parcel 232, to James Husted on 30 Aug 1823 and they conveyed (Liber 6:80) their own 91 acre farm to Ruth and Catherine Husted on 30 Aug 1823. At this time they removed to the area of Covert, Seneca County, New York and nearby Hector, Tompkins County (that portion that later became Schuyler County). Sally d. 14 Jan 1824 Covert, Seneca County, New York, thirteen months after her fifth child was born. Enumerated on the 1825 state census of Hector, Tompkins County (that portion that became Schuyler County), New York with five males (including head of household), and three females, including one married female under age forty five and two unmarried females under age sixteen. William’s brothers William and Horatio and sister Olive were also enumerated in Hector. They returned to Tioga County. Rutland Township was created in Feb 1828 from Jackson and Sullivan Townships in Tioga County. Enumerated in Rutland Township in 1830 with two males of age ten and under age fifteen (b. 1816-20), one male of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1811-15), one male of age forty and under age fifty (b. 1781-90), one female of age five and under age ten (b. 1821-25), one female of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10), and one female of age thirty and under age forty (b. 1791-1800). The 91 acre farm they had owned evidently reverted back to them when on 8 Feb 1831 William D. Bacon and Elizabeth Bacon, his wife, conveyed (9:84) 91 acres to Justus J. Bennett of Wayne, Steuben County, New York. William was of Wayne, Steuben County, New York when he acquired (Liber 10:382) the 91 acre farm from Justus J. Bennett and Elizabeth Bennett, his wife, of Wayne, Steuben County, New York. On 4 May 1836 William D. Bacon and Elizabeth Bacon, his wife, of Tyrone, Steuben County, New York, conveyed (Liber 13:495) the 91 acre farm in Rutland to George Longwell. William is related to have m. 8 Apr 1833 in Reading, Hillsdale County, Michigan, Esther Sanford b. 22 Sept 1785 Warwick, Orange County, New York daughter of Ezra Sanford and Ann Hopper and widow of William Hause. The marriage must have occurred after 1833 as William and wife Elizabeth executed a deed in 1836 while residents of Tyrone, Steuben (that portion that became Schuyler) County, New York. They evidently removed in 1836 soon after the sale of the land in Tyrone to Jennings County, Indiana and became members of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church located at Paris Crossing, Montgomery Township.

January 4th, 1837 - Received by letter William D. Bacon and Esther Bacon.

William acquired 40 acres in Jennings County, Indiana, 15 Aug 1838, south east quarter of the southwest quarter of section twenty two, township five. They evidently returned in 1838 or 1839 to Steuben County, New York as William D. Bacon was of Steuben County when he acquired 226 acres on 10 Aug 1839 and 80 acres on the same date in Hillsdale County, Michigan. They were enumerated and living again in Jennings County, Indiana in 1840, where brother Ebenezer Bacon and family also resided, with one male of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1821-25), two males of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1811-20), one male of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1781-90), and one female of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1781-90). When the Cobb lots were laid out in Paris in 1841 William D. Bacon was the surveyor of Jennings County. William appears in the church records in July 1842. If he removed to Reading, Hillsdale County, Michigan where daughter Elvira Bacon and her family and sister Olive Avery and family were residing there is no dismissal in the Coffee Creek Baptist church records. Daughter Sally Bacon and her husband Richard Cobb evidently removed to Reading as they had a daughter born in December 1842 in Reading. The Cobbs had returned by January 1845 when a daughter was born in Jennings County. William appears in the August 1844 church records and in June 1846. Esther d. 16 Aug 1850 64y 11m (ts) buried North Reading Cemetery, Reading Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan. Esther’s daughter Mary Ann Hause wife of William’s nephew Horace B. Avery is buried with her. In Sept 1850, William was enumerated in Jackson, Howard County, Indiana in the household of son Dr. Lemuel Wood. He is perhaps the William Bacon who purchased 31.67 acres in Howard County, 1 Apr 1856. William was enumerated in Mt. Vernon, Posey County, Indiana in 1860 in the household of his son Dr. Lemuel W. Bacon. William was listed in an 1865 Poor Farm report from Posey County and listed under “paupers” in Sept 1865 Posey County. William D. Bacon d. 5 Jan 1866 (Bethany Baptist Church record located in Farmersville, a short distance north of Mount Vernon), place of interment unknown. He is perhaps buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, Mount Vernon where son Lemuel is buried. There was another William Bacon, not related, born 3 Aug 1836 died 24 Feb 1864 buried Thielmann also known as Upton Cemetery.

BENSON, MRS. NANCY
At her home in Roseville, on September 23, at 5 a.m., there passed to the life immortal Mrs. Nancy Benson, loved and esteemed by all who knew her. Her age was 69 years, 6 months and 18 days. Mrs. Benson was born in Rutland, and there all her life was passed. She was a member of the Roseville Baptist Church, and so long as her physical condition permitted, was active in its good works. She was a practical Christian - carried her Christianity into her everyday life. Because of this, the friends she made ever remained friends, true and faithful, as she, in turn, remained a steadfast friend to them. Her home life was ideal. Devoted to her children, she reared them in the way they should go; and they lived to call her blessed. Not only by them will she be missed, but by the friends and neighbors among whom she lived so many years. Truly, a good woman is gone. Mrs. Benson is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Lovinnie Lawrence and Mrs. Anna Rose, of Roseville, and Mrs. W. H. Van Ness, of Mansfield; four sons, E. D. Benson, of Goldfield, Nev.; M. V. Benson, of New York City; A. E. Benson, of Elmira, N.Y., and L. G. Benson, of Rutland; two sisters, Mrs. E. Bronson and Mrs. C. B. Hanyen, of Roseville, and five brothers, W. B. Reynolds, of Virginia; Charles and John Reynolds, of Tioga; H. W. Reynolds, of Roseville, and Will Reynolds, of Rutland. Her husband, E. W. Benson, died on June 26, 1880, aged 52 years (obituary).

He is perhaps the male of age sixty and under age seventy (b. 1771-80) in the household of son Daniel in South Creek Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in 1840, which would be in close proximity to the Roushy Cemetery in Ashland where wife Weltha was buried.

BRACE

Timothy Brace appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. James was listed as age 26, farmer. Though the list is alphabetical it is not alphabetical within each letter and he is grouped with James Boylan and others suggesting he was on Mill Creek. He does not appear on the first assessment of Tioga two years earlier in 1812.

BUDD

John Budd is related to have been b. 8 Jan 1760 (DAR Patriot Index), but in his own pension deposition and in the 1840 census enumeration he was b. c. 1762-63. John served in the Revolutionary War in Dutchess County, New York, m. Mary Russell b. c. 1775 (pension deposition) or c. 1778 (ts). Enumerated in Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1810 with three males under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). The columns for female members of the household of age ten and under age sixteen, and sixteen and under age twenty six are not legible for the 1810 census so the females within the household in that age group are unknown. John appears on the Tioga Township assessment list of 1812, one of two townships in existence at the time, with two cows.  John does not appear on the special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships submitted on 7 Oct 1814 to the County, having evidently moved the short distance of a few miles into Columbia Township, Bradford County. Enumerated in Columbia Township in 1820 with one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), one male of age sixteen and under age eighteen (b. 1802-04), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1795-1804), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1775), one female under age ten (b. 1811-20), one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). Enumerated in Columbia Township in 1830 with one male of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10), one male of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1771-80), one female of age five and under age ten (b. 1821-25), and one female of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1771-80). His record of service is given in his affidavit for a pensions as follows: "That he the said John Budd, aged 67 years, resident in Columbia township, doth on his oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary war, enlisting as a private at Crampon, Dutchess county, N.Y., 1779, in Captain Post's company of infantry in Colonel Shepard's regiment and General Glover's brigade of the Massachusetts line; that he continued to serve in said regiment for the term of one year when he was honorably discharged at Peekskill, N.Y.; that he also served occasionally in the militia and was in the battle of White Plains and at the taking of Fort Montgomery; trade and occupation has been that of a carpenter but has been unable to work for several years by reason of rheumatism; family consists of himself and wife, aged 55 years, who has unusual health." Enumerated in Columbia Township in 1840 as a pensioner, age 77. Mary d. 22 Dec 1841 63y (ts) Morgan Cemetery, Austinville, Columbia Township. John is related to have d. 19 June 1845 83y and buried on land near his residence, which was a knoll on the east side of Lodge Hill Road near Sopertown Road. If this did occur, no evidence of the burial now remains. John d. less than four years after the death of his wife who has a marker in the Morgan Cemetery so it would seem more likely that he was buried with his wife. There is no indication that there were any other family burials on the farm and other family members were buried in the newer cemetery created at Baptist Hill not far from the family residence. Since he has no marker it may have only been assumed in earlier times that he was buried on the family farm. The farm where John and Mary resided passed to son Albion, which passed to his son Louden.

He is assumed to be the Thomas Churchill (the original should be consulted as the transcriber perhaps incorrectly transcribed the name) who appears on the 1812 assessment list of Tioga Township, one of two townships in existence at that date, with 100 acres, 1 horse, and 2 cows. Ithamar appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. Ithamar was listed as Ithmis Churchill, age 45, farmer, between Enos Curtis and Jonathan Cory, both of whom are known to have resided in present Rutland Township. Ithamar appears on the first assessment of Jackson Township in 1816 (Rutland Township had not yet been created so it is unknown which present township the family actually resided in).

CLARK

Lemuel Clark b. 11 Apr 1760 (bible) Rochester, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (pension application) m. 6 Feb 1790 (pension application of Susannah) in Montague, Franklin County, Massachusetts, Susannah Tuttle b. 10 Apr 1767 (bible and pension application). Enumerated in Montague in 1800 with three males under age ten (b. 1791-1800), one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1785-90), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1756-74), one female under age ten (b. 1791-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1756-74). Enumerated in Manchester, Bennington County, Vermont in 1810 with one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), one male over age forty five (b. before 1765), three females under age ten (b. 1801-10), one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). Lemuel appears on the 1819 assessment list of Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. There was also a Clark on the 1818 assessment list of Sullivan with no first name listed, which may have been Lemuel. Enumerated in Sullivan Township in 1820 with two males of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1775-84), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1775), one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), one female of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1795-1804), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). Lemuel first appears on the 1823 assessment list of Jackson Township, Tioga County. Rutland Township where the family resided had not yet been created, which was formed from Jackson and Sullivan Townships in Feb 1828. The first election in the newly created Rutland Township was held in May 1829 and Lemuel received 19 votes as Overseer of the Poor compared to 66 votes for John D. Dann. Enumerated in Rutland Township in 1830 with one male of age seventy and under age eighty (b. 1751-60), one female of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10), and one female of age sixty and under age seventy (b. 1761-70). Lemuel applied for a pension 25 Sept 1832, resident of Rutland Township, age 72. Lemuel applied for a pension 19 Mar 1833, age 73, stating he served as a private in the Massachusetts militia. Lemuel appears on the 1835 pension roll, age 73, with an annual allowance of $40, which commenced 19 Mar 1833. Lemuel d. 30 May 1838 78y (ts and pension application of Susannah) Clark Burying Ground, Rutland Township. Same date of death in family bible. Susannah is assumed to be the female of age seventy and under age eighty (b. 1761-70) in the household of daughter Ulissa in Rutland in 1840. Susannah d. 10 Mar 1844 (bible). The bible is evidently in error or was incorrectly transcribed as she was living 4 Mar 1848 (pension application) in Rutland Township when she made further declaration regarding her pension and signed by mark. If Susannah is buried with Lemuel she has no marker. The Clark burials are on the western perimeter of the small cemetery. Next to Lemuel’s marker on the north side is a double marker for grandchildren Lemuel and Sophia Clark, another double marker for grandchildren Willard and Sophia, marker for son Josephus and what remains of the marker of Orrinda Rose wife of son Josephus, her marker being on the north edge of the gravel mound, and all in a row. There is no marker next to Lemuel to the south, which may indicate that Susannah could be buried beside him. Dates of birth for Lemuel, Susannah, and children and dates of death for daughters Cynthia and Mary from a family bible that passed to son Sidney and was among descendants in Kansas.

Cornelius Clark and Mary Clark, his wife, conveyed (Liber 7:530) 49 acres to Josephus Clark, 14 June 1828, land in Rutland Township on warrant parcel 976.

4.  Josephus Clark b. 29 Jan 1798 first appears on the 1819 assessment list of Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, m. Orinda Rose b. c. 1801 Manchester, Bennington County, Vermont daughter of William Rose and Didamia Corey. Isaac Whitehead and Huldah Whitehead, his wife, deeded (Liber 4:643) 63 acres on 8 Jan 1820 in Jackson (that portion that became Rutland) Township along lands of Jonathan Corey to Josephus Clark of Sullivan Township on warrant parcel 975 signed by Isaac C.

Enumerated 1830 census of Rutland Township with one male under age five (b. 1826-30), one male of age five and under age ten (b. 1821-25), one male of age thirty and under age forty (b. 1791-1800), two females under age five (b. 1826-30), one female of age five and under age ten (b. 1821-25), and one female of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10). Josephus Clark and Orinda Clark, his wife, deeded (Liber 11:619) 49 acres, 13 Sept 1833, in Rutland Township on warrant parcel 976 to Amos Mansfield, signed by Josephus Clark and Orinda Clark. On 6 Apr 1835 Josephus Clark was appointed and commissioned by the Governor to be a Justice of the Peace in a part of Tioga, Jackson, and Rutland Townships (Pennsylvania Archives). Enumerated in Rutland in 1840 with one male under age five (b. 1836-40), two males of age five and under age ten (b. 1831-35), one male of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1821-25), one male of age thirty and under age forty (b. 1801-10), one female under age five (b. 1836-40), one female of age five and under age ten (b. 1831-35), one female of age ten and under age fifteen (b. 1826-30), one female of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1821-25), and one female of age thirty and under age forty (b. 1801-10). Josephus d. 4 Apr 1845 46y 2m 6d (ts) Clark Burying Ground. Estate probated 28 May 1845 (Docket A-2 p. 185 no. 117), administrator, Orinda Clark. Amos Mansfield was named guardian of minor children Byron, Helen M., and William W (Docket B2 p. 479). Orinda survived Josephus but when she died is not known. Orinda’s marker has disintegrated and is no longer legible. Her name on the marker was visible in 1980 and it is known she died in March or May as the first letter “M” was visible. She was perhaps deceased before 1850 as she is not found enumerated on the 1850 census. The estate of William Rose who d. 10 May 1852 Rutland named among the heirs “Josephus Clark grandchildren” indicating Orinda was deceased by that date. On 25 Feb 1852 Julia A Clark of Rutland sold (Liber 22:593) to Byron Clark of Troy, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, one seventh equal undivided part of the farm on which Josephus Clark, deceased, resided. This indicates that Julia was one of the seven living children of Josephus and Orinda.

There would appear to be a son b. 1821-25 on both the 1830 and 1840 census enumerations but his identity does not seem to be known. The obituary of daughter Laura below states she was – “born, May 18, 1824.  She was the eldest of a family of eleven children.” The dates of birth for the older children below cannot be correct as some conflict, but they are here given.

Third Generation:
15.  Laura M. Clark b. 18 May 1824 m. Samuel Satterlee Strait b. 18 July 1816 South Creek Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania son of Samuel Strait, Jr., and Rachel Purdy. Enumerated in Troy Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in 1850, farmer. Enumerated in Columbia Township, Bradford County in 1860, farmer. Enumerated in Canton, Bradford County in 1870, farmer.

Laura d. 3 July 1891 67y (ts) Main Street Cemetery, Canton.

The sad event of the death of Mrs. Laura M. Strait occurred at the residence of L. R. Gleason, Esq. in this village on the morning of July 3d. Mrs. Strait had just completed her arrangements and was waiting to take the next train to accompany her daughter to her new home in Pueblo, Col., when she was taken suddenly ill and took instead, that long journey to that land “from which no traveler returns.” She was the daughter of Josephus Clark, who emigrated in an early day to this state from Mass., and was one of the pioneer settlers of Tioga county, having settled in Rutland where the subject of this sketch was born, May 18, 1824.  She was the eldest of a family of eleven children, two, only, of which survive her, Mrs. Mary A. Corey, of Stuttgardt, Arkansas, and Mrs. Helen M. Ingraham, wife of Capt. D. P. Ingraham, of Elmira, N. Y.  She was the widow of S. S. Strait, late of this place, and sister to B. W. Clark, so well and favorably known among the early business men of Canton, whose widow is now the esteemed wife of our fellow townsman, L. R. Gleason.  Mrs. Strait was also a sister of the late Julia A. Humphrey, widow of Dr. A. Humphrey, formerly of Tioga county, Pa. She leaves of her own family to mourn their great loss, one son, Samuel J. Strait, living near this village, and one daughter, Mrs. D. C. Moran, now of Pueblo, Colorado, where the sympathy of her many friends follow her.  Mrs. Strait was fast nearing the allotted age of man, having well entered her 68th year, and in good works was fully ripe for the harvests.  She was an acceptable member of the First Baptist church of this place, having united with that society under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. McGowen. Although a great sufferer during the few days of her illness, yet she passed away like a child going to sleep, with perfect trust in her Savior, and the sweet, beautiful expression on her countenance as she lay in her casket showed that in her heart could be malice towards none.  Though strong in character she was quiet and retiring in her disposition, devoting her great energy to the welfare and happiness of her family, and as a friend remarked, “She was a blessing to any household.” In the pioneer days of our country, before the age of railroads, her father took her in his own carriage to Detroit, Mich., to give her the benefit of a more extended and liberal education than could be obtained in the then comparative wilds of Northern Penna.  After her marriage to Mr. Strait they settled on a farm near Troy, and later moved to Canton, where Mr. Strait with her brother, B. W. Clark, founded the first bank established in this place, and which place has since been her home.  Her friends mourn her but not without hope, for they know that all is peace beyond the river (Canton newspaper obituary).

Hamilton F. Corey, Ohio, was born in Cayuga County, N. Y., July 17, 1811, and is the son of John and Lucina Corey, formerly of Connecticut. Mr. Corey’s grandfather, David Rhodes, was a soldier of the Revolution, and died in New York at the age of eighty-four. Our subject’s father, John Corey, was a soldier of the war of 1812.

In 1835 Mr. Corey married Esther Mead, of New York, who was born in 1807, and came to this county with her husband, where he died in 1874. Of this marriage there is a family of six children, four now living: Mrs. Elizabeth L. Smith, Ohio, Ill.; Mrs. Almeda Hammer, King City, Mo.; Mrs. Elsa Rainer, of Nebraska; and John H.

Jabish acquired land three miles south of Lapeer and lived there until his death September 6, 1866. His wife Eunice died February 18, 1869. The son A.W. Corey remained on that farm until 1880 when he moved into Lapeer City and took over the gunsmith business on Saginaw Street for about eight years. He had married Deborah Kenyon Converse, daughter of Samuel and Sally (Cummings) Converse of Mayfield Township in 1867, a year after his father, Jabish had died.

The family is not found on the 1810 census of Tioga Township, Tioga County (Rutland Township not yet formed) and he may be the E. Curtis enumerated in Oneida County, New York where the Franklin family was enumerated. Enos appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. Enos Curtis is listed as age 30, farmer. Enos appears on the first assessment list in 1816 of Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. On the 1820 assessment list unable to pay for schooling of Mariah and Martha.

In an address given by Ross G. Watkins at the Old Rutland Hill Church on August 16, 1942 he stated – “One item which has seemingly escaped attention was the coming of two Mormon Elders and their flock to the scene. They strewed the countryside with their propaganda and soon the excitement was intense. Then more of them came until quite a colony was formed. After a bit, some opposition arose and they, with some of the settlers who embraced their faith, moved to near Liberty, Pa, where they founded the village of Nauvoo. (Meaning the beautiful.) There, more persecution arising, they moved to Illinois and founded a city also called Nauvoo in the year 1839. During a riot in 1844, Joseph Smith, the leader and his brother were killed and the building of their temple was stopped. Then Brigham Young led them on to Utah. During their stay here it seems they occupied this farm as I remember it, they left four of their number, two adults and two children to mingle with the dust on that knoll up there. As long as George Tanner owned this farm, he kept some field stones in place to mark their final resting place and in playing around the old orchard as children, my cousin and I came upon them and were told by the old folks why they were there. What their names were or where they came from is all conjecture now but perhaps some older and abler
historian might be able to find out and if so, I would like to hear from them (History of the Old Rutland Church, Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, Ross G. Watkins, 1942).

The Curtis family was one of several Rutland families that embraced Mormonism and removed west. Enumerated in Fulton County, Illinois in 1840. Ruth’s own endowment record in the Nauvoo Temple dated 1 Jan 1846 gave her birth as 14 Nov 1790 Sterling, Connecticut. Ruth d. 6 May 1848 Council Bluffs, Pottawatamie County, Iowa. Enos m. 20 Oct 1850 Tamma Durfee b. 6 Mar 1813 Lenox, Madison County, New York daughter of Edmond Durfee and Magdalena Pickle and widow of Albert Miner b. 31 Mar 1809 Jefferson County, New York. Albert and Tamma m. 9 Aug 1831, were early converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They assisted in the construction of both the Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples and endured many hardships in their struggles. After being driven from Nauvoo, Illinois, Albert d. 3 Jan 1848 on the plains of Iowa at Iowaville and was buried there. After Albert’s death Tamma and seven of nine children living continued on to arrive in Utah in June 1850. Tamma and Enos settled in Springville, Utah in April 1851. Enos d. 1 June 1856 Springville. Tamma m. 7 Apr 1857 John White Curtis b. 11 Aug 1820 son of Enos and Ruth. Tamma d. 30 Jan 1885 Provo, Utah.

FORD

William Ford b. c. 1781 appears in the estate of Alvin Bacon of Rutland dated 20 Oct 1813 “six dollars 31/100 paid Wm Ford $6.31.” William appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. William Ford is listed as age 33, farmer. He appears on the 1816, 1817, and 1818 assessment lists of Jackson Township (Rutland Township not yet created). Solomon Wood purchased 53 acres (Liber 4:197) on 7 Nov 1814 from the Bingham Trustees, situated on warrant parcel 1373 (present Pumpkin Hill, Rutland Township) which mentions bordering lands surveyed to David Nichols, William Ford, and Ebenezer Rumsey.

The Rumsey family had resided in Hubbardton, Rutland County, Vermont. William Ford b. 26 Feb 1776 Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts son of William Ford and Elizabeth Falley m. Laura Rumsey b. Hubbardton, Rutland County, Vermont daughter of Daniel Rumsey and Ann Walker. They were enumerated in Benson, Rutland County, Vermont in 1810 beside brother Oliver Ford with two males under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84), two females under age ten (b. 1801-10), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). In the Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch County, Michigan it relates that Daniel Rumsey Ford was born in “Vermont, in Rutland County, Dec. 16, 1814. His parents William and Laura (Rumsey) Ford, were natives of Vermont. After marriage the father and mother of our subject, settled in Rutland County, Vt., where the father was engaged in farming, but they subsequently removed to Genesee County, N.Y., where they died.” Later in the same sketch it states – “Our subject was five years old when his parents left their old home under the shadows of the Green Mountains , and took up their abode in Genesee County, N.Y.” No mention is made in the above biography of Tioga County, Pennsylvania and Daniel stated he was born in Vermont after the William Ford of Tioga County appears on the 1814 assessment list. The William Ford of Benson, Vermont was enumerated in Bethany, Genesee County, New York in 1820. Laura d. 28 Oct 1821 Bethany. William m. (2)Lucinda Tripp. William d. 3 Aug 1854 Byron, Genesee County. He was evidently not the William Ford of Rutland due to the five year age difference (born 1776 and the William of Rutland was born c. 1781) and no record of the family in Tioga County.

1.  Chauncey Ford b. 17 Dec 1801 Benson, Rutland County, Vermont.
2.  Betsey E. Ford b. 27 Dec 1803 Benson.
