Victor Beebe, History of Potter County
ERRATA
The following interesting information about one of the very oldest Potter County families came to the knowledge of
the writer too late for insertion in its proper place. It is contained in letters to Mrs. Derna Bloomer dated 1902, from Edgar L. Spafford of Watervliet, N. Y., who was engaged in compiling a genealogy of the Spafford family.
Patience Mann was born in Vermont in 1774.
She married Bradstreet Spafford, by whom she had six children:
- Orlean, born 1796; - Ansel, born 1798;
- Lorenzo D. born 1800; - Lucretia, born 1802, married Jonathan Edgcomb;
- Eliza, born 1805, married Harley Knickerbocker;
- Marietta, born March 7, 1807, married William Earl.
Mr. Spafford thinks all these children were born in Vermont.
Bradstreet Spafford and his wife separated, and she came to Tioga County, Pa., and married Major Isaac Lyman, March 3, 1809.
The account of the Lyman family is given in the text in its proper place.
Bradstreet Spafford was twice married after the separation from his first wife, and had three more children. It would appear that the two oldest sons of Bradstreet and Patience Spafford never left Vermont, though a daughter of Ansel Spafford lived for a time at the house of Jonathan Edgcomb.
The name of Eliza Spafford is omitted in the account of the family on page 30. Her husband, Harley Knickerbocker, was an early settler on Ayres Hill, and taugbt one of the fist terms of school in the county.
Patience Lyman died at the home of her son Lewis Lyman at Sweden Valley in 1867, aged 93. She was bedridden and her mind failed in her latter years.
