She was born in Rutland township, Pa., on November 24, 1833, making her 79 years old. She was the youngest of four children—Raymond, a half-brother; Adelia Deliverance and Allen E. Sherman. Her mother’s maiden name was Elvira McArthur, born in Columbia township, Pa., her father’s birthplace being in Rhode Island. The only survivors of her immediate family are the children of her sister, who reside in Colorado and California. In this vicinity she has several cousins living. She was married to Charles H. Benson on November 8, 1902, who died in May 1906. She passed all of her life in Rutland, where she made many warm friends by her quiet, genial manner. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. She lived a conscientious Christian life, and has gone to live in a mansion prepared for her, eternal in the heaven. The funeral was held from the M. E. Church, the pastor, The Rev. I. T. Johnson officiating. He spoke from John 5:28-29—“I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice and come forth.” Miss Jennie Hanyen and Mrs. I. T. Johnson sang two selections—“Some Day He’ll Make It Plain” and the “Christian’s Good Night,” with Miss Louise Garrison as accompanist (obituary).

WALKER
Alexander Walker was enumerated in Tioga Township in 1810 between the households of Solomon Wood and Alexander Harris, which may indicate he resided in what is now Rutland Township. The household included one male under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), and a female of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1795-94). 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. Alexander does not appear on the 1812 Tioga Township assessment list, one of two townships in existence in the county at that date. In the estate of Alvin Bacon who resided in Rutland, A. Walker had an amount of $2.00 against the estate, dated 20 Oct 1813. This probably refers to Alexander but does not necessarily indicate he was still living in the region.

WARNER
Samuel Warner b. perhaps c. 1778 (1814 special assessment) m. Alma Granger b. 15 Sept 1784 Suffield, Connecticut daughter of Elijah Granger and Mary King. There are two men with the name Samuel Warner that appear 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. One was listed as age 29 and the other as age 36, both farmers. The list, though alphabetical, is not alphabetical within each letter, and the Samuel Warner, age 36, was grouped with Lemuel Wood, Solomon Wood, and Josiah Woodworth, all Rutland setters. Silas Burrell, husband of Alma’s sister Sarah Granger, appeared on this special assessment at the same time. Samuel appears on the first assessment list of Jackson Township (Rutland Township was created from Jackson and Sullivan Townships in 1828) of 1816 (compiled fall of 1815), with the notation “removed from the state.” Enumerated in Elmira, Tioga County (that portion that became Chemung County) in 1820 where Alma’s brothers Frederick Granger and Alfred Granger also resided, with two 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), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94).

WATTLES
Daniel Wattles b. 2 Mar 1761 (bible) Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut baptized May 1765 Goshen Congregational Church, Lebanon, son of Mason Wattles and Hannah Sluman is nearly always found in records as Dan and not as Daniel, m. 13 Jan 1791 Cyntha Williams b. 16 Mar 1767 (bible) baptized 5 Apr 1767 Goshen Congregational Church, Lebanon, Connecticut. They were evidently in what became Delaware County by 1796 when Dan signed a petition with 111 others in opposition to the State Legislature creating Delaware County. Enumerated in Franklin, Delaware County, New York in 1800 with two males under age ten (b. 1791-1800), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1756-74), three females under age ten (b. 1791-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1756-74). They removed to Bradford County, Pennsylvania at what date is uncertain, but Dan appears on the 1807 assessment list of Orwell with 1 house, 6 improved acres, and 1 cow. They were enumerated in Orwell in 1810 with two males of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1765), one female under age ten (b. 1801-10), two females of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one female of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1765). Dan appears on the first assessment list of Orwell in the newly created Bradford County in 1813 along with sons John and Arunah. Enumerated in Troy Township in 1820 with two males under age ten (b. 1811-20), 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), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). The two young males in the household in 1820 were perhaps grandsons and sons of a widowed son who was perhaps either John or Arunah enumerated in the household. They evidently followed daughter Adosha Pemberton and family to neighboring Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania who had removed there by 1818. Dan appears on the 1821 assessment list of Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania (Rutland Township where they resided not yet formed) with the notation “removed.” Dan again appears on the 1825 assessment list of Jackson Township (1824 assessment list missing). Enumerated in Rutland Township in 1830 with one male of age sixty and under age seventy (b. 1761-70) and one female of age sixty and under age seventy (b. 1761-70).

In answer to the interrogatories propounded by the Court he says that he was born at Lebanon, Windham County Connecticut March 22, 1760 that the record of his birth was kept in the town records and also in his grandfather's bible: that he lived at Lebanon until he was thirty years of age, and some time after the was that he removed to Franklin Otsego County in 1790, lived there 9 years; then to Sempronius in Cayuga County where he lived one year, thence to Wysox in the State of Pennsylvania where he lived 12 or 14 years; then to Jackson, Tioga County where for the last 14 years and until a few days past he has continued to reside. That he was in the Battle at Fort Griswold when Major Ledyard and a number of men in the fort were massacred; that he was in the Rhode Island Battle and also in the Battle at White Plains. That he never received a written discharge that no documentary evidence of his services. That he knows no person in this part of the country who can testify to his services. For his reputation as a revolutionary soldier and the neighborhood belief on the subject he refers to the Rev. Simeon R. Jones and Solomon L. Smith of Southport and Major Seth Dagget of Jackson Tioga County. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State. Signed Dan Wattles.

On 19 June 1840 James Dean, age 74, appeared in New London County, Connecticut court and stated he was acquainted with both Dan Wattles and Cyntha Williams previous to their marriage and that he was present at their marriage in Lebanon, New London County by Jeremiah Mason, Esq.
On 14 Sept 1840 Cyntha Williams, age 74, resident of Rome Township, Bradford County, appeared in Court of Common Pleas. She stated she was the widow of Dan Wattles who drew a pension and that she was married 13 Jan 1791 and that he died 4 May 1839. Signed Cyntha Wattles. She made several other statements, one of several sentences in her own handwriting, and always signed as Cyntha Wattles.
On 21 Sept 1840 Arunah Wattles, age 45, resident of Rome Township appeared
in Bradford County before a justice of the peace and stated he was present

On 24 Feb 1845 Arunah Wattles, age 50, appeared in Bradford County
before a justice of the peace and stated he was the son of Dan and Cyntha
Wattles, that his father kept a family record in which was an entry of
the marriage of Dan Wattles to Cyntha Williams and also entries of births
of their children and deaths. The deponent last saw the book in the month
of October 1824 when on a visit to his father in Jackson (now Rutland)
in the County of Tioga where the said Dan Wattles lived. That at the time
the said family record was very much torn so much that he had to place
detached leaves of paper together to read it. That it was likely to be
totally destroyed he made a copy of said record. And, that said record
contained marriage of his parents “Dan Wattles and Cyntha Williams was
married January 13th 1791.” That all of the entries were made in the handwriting
of Dan Wattles.

Second Generation:
1. Polly Wattles b. 7 Oct 1791 d. 14 Sept 1823 (bible record
gives age as 30 years but actual age was 31 years). She was not enumerated
in her parent’s household in the 1820 census enumeration and is assumed
to have married.
2. John Wattles b. 29 Feb 1793 m. 14 Apr 1814 Eliza Cash b. 28 Nov 1796 daughter of Isaac Cash and Sally Gore. John is presumed to be the male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94) in his father’s household in Troy Township in 1820. The household also included two males under age ten (b. 1811-20) which are believed to have been John’s sons.

Furthermore, the biography of their son David relates he was born in Troy 9 Feb 1821 which would further imply that it was probably John in the household of his father in the 1820 census enumeration. John was enumerated in Troy Township in 1840 with one male under age five (b. 1836-40), one male of age forty and under age fifty (b. 1791-1800), one female under age five (b. 1836-40), and one female of age thirty and under age forty (b. 1801-10).

DAVID C. WATTLES. We here present a life narrative of one of the prominent
citizens of North Branch, who was born in Troy, Bradford County, Pa., February
9, 1821, and has now reached the age of a septuagenarian. Wattles Ferry,
Conn., was the native place of his parents, John and Eliza (Cash) Wattles.
The father was by occupation a stone-layer and brickmason and the early
home of the family was in the county where our subject was brought up.
His was not a happy childhood and youth as he became an orphan by the death
of his mother at the tender age of three years and when he was twelve years
old he was bound out to a man who proved to be addicted to the use of liquor
and the unhappy and abused boy ran away and found refuge in Chemung County,
N. Y., where at the age of fourteen he found employment.
After spending a year or so there the youth determined to come West,
but as he had no money he could not secure passage on a boat. With more
than ordinary pluck and determination, he made up his mind to go on board
the vessel ands take his chances, and as he fell into kind hands he was
brought across to Detroit and having made his way on foot through the wilderness
he came to Lapeer County in 1837. This boy had received but slight schooling
in the East and after coming to Michigan was able to attend school but
thirty-three days when he was sixteen years old. For about seven years
he continued working on farms and in 1844 purchased a piece of land. He
enlisted in Detroit May 28, 1847 for the term of the War with Mexico, receiving
his honorable discharge at Governor's Island, New York harbor August 13,
1848, after which he returned to Michigan. Mr. Wattles was married February
5, 1851, to Mrs. Susan M. Rood of Lapeer. After carrying on farming in
what is now Lapeer City until 1854 he came to North Branch Township, where
there were two bands of Indians living at the time. From 1869 to 1873 he
lived in Lapeer and now has a fine place of four hundred acres on sections
9, 10, 15 and 16. It was in the fall of 1889 when he removed to the village
of North Branch. Here he now makes his home although he still carries on
farming. In Politics he is a Democrat and has been for a number of years,
besides filling at one time the office of Township Clerk (Portrait &
Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Michigan,
1892).
WHITEHEAD
James Whitehead first appears on the 1819 assessment list of Jackson Township. He again appears in 1823. The Church of Christ of Covington was organized by Elder James Whitehead, 7 Oct 1829, with James Whitehead and Hannah Whitehead being members. Enumerated in Richmond Township, Tioga County in 1830 with two males of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10), one male of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1771-80), and one female of age sixty and under age seventy (b. 1761-70). James was living 25 Sept 1832 in Covington, Tioga County when he attested to the character of Andrew Sharp and Lemuel Clark who had applied for pensions for Revolutionary War service.
Isaac C. Whitehead b. 1776-94 was of Salisbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut when he acquired (Liber 4:446) 63 aces on 1 Apr 1818 on warrant parcel 975 from Harris Corey. Isaac first appears on the 1820 assessment list (compiled late fall of 1819) with a grist mill. Isaac was enumerated in Jackson Township in 1820 (that portion that became Rutland) with one male under age ten (b. 1811-20), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94), one female under age five (b.1811-20), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94). 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. Whitehead and Huldah Whitehead. They acquired (Liber 5:152) 109 acres, 1 Feb 1821, on warrant parcel 974 along lands of Jonathan Corey from Henry Cummings and Sally Cummings his wife. Isaac appears on the 1821, 1822, and 1823 assessment lists. They may have returned to Connecticut as Huldah wife of Isaac Whitehead d. 7 Jan 1838 75y (ts) Salisbury Cemetery.
1. son b. 1811-20.
2. daughter b. 1811-20.
WOOD
Lemuel Wood b. c. 1746 (1814 special assessment) m. Salome Gregory b. perhaps c. 1746 and perhaps in Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connecticut where several older siblings were born daughter of Ithamar Gregory and Rebecca Sturges. They removed to Hubbardton, Rutland County, Vermont. “After the close of the Revolutionary War, new families began to arrive, and by the summer of 1784 there were about twenty families in town, among the new arrivals being Lemuel Wood. . .Ithamer Gregory. . .” Lemuel was enumerated in Hubbardton, Rutland County, Vermont in 1790 with two males of age sixteen and over (b. before 1774), one male under age sixteen (b. 1775-90), and three females. Enumerated in Hubbardton in 1800 with one male 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. 1785-90), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). A note, perhaps from the family bible, and amongst descendants, relates that Lemuel and Salome’s son Solomon and wife Caroline “started from Vermont for Pa. the 26th of April 1810 and arrived the 14th of May 1810 in Tioga Co.” It is assumed that Lemuel and Salome accompanied them and were perhaps the male and female of age forty five and over (b. before 1765) in the household of Solomon Wood in the 1810 census enumeration of Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, one of only two townships within the County in existence at that date. Nathaniel Morgan and Sarah his wife of Smithfield Township, Ontario County (that portion that became Columbia Township, Bradford County), Pennsylvania conveyed (Liber 1:198) to Lemuel Wood of Tioga Township, Tioga County, “where Lemuel Wood is now seated,” 200 acres on warrant parcel 1373 (present Pumpkin Hill, Rutland Township), dated 22 Dec 1810. The Ford and Rumsey families settled on adjoining lands on Pumpkin Hill. Lemuel appears on the 1812 assessment list of Tioga Township, one of only two townships in existence at that date, with 200 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cows. Lemuel 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. Lemuel was listed as age 68, farmer. Lemuel Wood appears on the first assessment list of Jackson Township in 1816 (Rutland Township had not yet been created). Enumerated in Jackson Township (Rutland Township not yet created) in 1820 with one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1775) and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1775). Lemuel Wood and Salome Wood, his wife, conveyed (Liber 17:434) 100 acres on 13 July 1824, being one half of a 200 acre tract upon which they resided, to Solomon Wood of Jackson Township (Rutland Township not yet created where the land was situated). Both Lemuel and Salome signed by mark. Lemuel appears on the 1825 assessment list (compiled late fall of 1824) of Jackson Township. Lemuel Wood and Salome Wood, his wife, conveyed (17:435) the north half of 200 acres to Solomon Wood, 9 Aug 1826. This is the last dated record found for Lemuel. Salome was perhaps the female of age eighty and under age ninety (b. 1741-50) enumerated in the household of Solomon Wood in Rutland in 1830. Lemuel and Salome are perhaps buried in Pumpkin Hill Cemetery, Rutland Township, which is situated on warrant parcel 1373 where they settled and was perhaps begun by the Wood family. Son, Solomon has the oldest dated marker in the cemetery.

A note, perhaps from the family bible, and amongst descendants, relates that Solomon and Caroline “started from Vermont for Pa. the 26th of April 1810 and arrived the 14th of May 1810 in Tioga Co.” Solomon appears on the 1810 census of Tioga Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, one of only two townships within the County in existence at that date, with one male 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), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1765), one female of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), and one female of age forty five and over (b. before 1765).

This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. Solomon was listed as age 28, farmer. Solomon 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.

WOODWORTH
At least two sons of the fourteen children born to Roswell Woodworth and Phebe Parker of Wells, Rutland County, Vermont were in Tioga County, they being Downer Woodworth and Josiah Woodworth. Neither appears on the 1812 assessment list, the first known in the County. Sometime in the spring or summer of 1813 they evidently located in Tioga County and it is known that Josiah was most likely in what is now Rutland Township since he witnessed a deed of a known Rutland family. They did not long remain and left after a few years and brothers Roswell Jr., Downer, and Josiah were all enumerated in China, Genesee County, New York in 1820.
Downer Woodworth. The only reference to Downer is the following:
Dawner Woodworth, of Tioga, warns the public against a note given by him to Ebenezer Bacon –“I am determined not to pay it, unless compelled by law” (Bradford Gazette, Towanda, Pennsylvania December 7, 1813).
Downer does not appear on the 1814 special assessment list of Tioga County along with brother Josiah.
