Y.," Mrs. Georgia Drew Merrill, Editor, Alfred, N. Y.; pub. 1896 Transcribed by Genealogy Trails Transcription Team HISTORY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY, N. Y. CHAPTER XIV THIS CENTURY'S FIRST DECADE 1828. Isaac N. Town opened the first store in Canaseraga, and the first inn in Clarksville was kept by Daniel S. Carpenter. Allen received quite a start in the settlement of Henry Burt, Thomas Cole, Robert K. King, Jared Atwater, Uriah Cook, Solomon Woodworth, Austin Munday and Henry Laight. Elias Hull opened the first public house in Birdsall and Joseph B. Welch the first store. Elias Scott settled in Bolivar, David S. German in Cuba, Rowland Coon, Dea, George Potter, and Daniel and John Edwards began operations in Genesee. The first religious services in Clarksville were held at the house of Nelson Hoyt, by the Methodists. The first settlement at Wiscoy, in Hume, was made by Lawrence Wilkes, a blacksmith, and a sawmill was built by Ebenezer Mix of Batavia. This year came to Independence, Lewis B. Fitch, to New Hudson, Benjamin Whipple, to Willing, John Graves, and John Scott to Wirt. The board of supervisors was organized by elected C. T. Chamberlain chairman and Nicholas Van Wickle clerk. Some of the sessions were held at Hugh Magee's house. Alvin Burr was again elected treasurer. The president by vote was directed to sign a memorial for toll bridge across the Genesee at Belvidere. The court house debt still remained unpaid, and $420 was voted to be paid as interest thereon. $100 was voted to repair court house, clerk's office and jail, and $10 appropriated to pay for a county seal. 13 full-grown wolves and one whelp were reported, for which the county paid $67.50 and the state $62.50. The need of a county almshouse began to be apparent and was shown by this resolution passed by the board: "Resolved that the president sign the petition in behalf of this board to the Legislature, paying for the passage of a law authorizing the supervisors of the county of Allegany to loan money and build a poorhouse, and that James Wilson, Jesse Bullock, William Hicks, Asa S. Allen and Lazarus S. Rathbon to be a committee to superintend the same." This year a survey was made of a canal route from Rochester to Olean.

Michael Smith (1) fact 20250313GHLn 20250313GHLn- MARCH 11 Michael Smith John, in your Lunn family tree, you list Hugh Nexdor Lunn as brothers with Rowlee E. Lunn when in fact Rowlee is Hugh's Father. Thought you'd like to know. Rowlee was my Great Grandfather. 02:29 PM 02:29 PM TODAY 01:09 PM Thank you so much! I'll correct that. My relationship with Lunn is Carl Lunn, who married Pam Pepperman, my cousin. Carl was a hot rod racer, as I remember. They had 2 kids, Steve and Tina. Thank you again for writing. I will correct in my FTM Tree, which I do not sync. I'll see if I can change it in the ancestrydotcom one. Delivered, 01:09 PM
