    Notes:

    From: A history of Ontario County, NY (F127 07M6)
    by Charles F. Millikin

    Benjamin, son of David Force, was born in 1793, and died in 1873. He spent his youth in his native place in New Jersey and was a pioneer settler at Steuben County, now Schuyler county, New York. Where he followed farming all his active life. In politics he was a Whig and afterward a Republican. An Intense abolitionist, he was prominent in all anti slavery movements and his house was a station of the underground railroad. His grandson and namesake was instantly killed while serving in the Union Army in the Civil War in Sherman's "March to the Sea", in 1864.

    He married (first) Sophia Caswell, born in 1796, and died in 1831. Her mother, Miriam (Smith) Caswell was born and raised in Massachusetts. A number of descendants of Thomas and Miriam Caswell were prominent business men in Ohio. Children of Benjamin Force were: John, Lodencia, Dr Lyman, Dr Alfred, and Chester B. Benjamin Force married (second) Sarah Russell, by whom he had three children: Eliza, Julia and David.

    Benjamin married Sarah Russell about 1832. Sarah (daughter of Ebenezer Russell and Sarah Mead) was born in Jan 1816 in Seneca Co., New York, USA; died on 10 May 1903 in Sabetha, Nemaha Co., Kansas, USA; was buried in Albany Cemetery, Sabetha, Nemaha County, Kansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Sarah Russell was born in Jan 1816 in Seneca Co., New York, USA (daughter of Ebenezer Russell and Sarah Mead); died on 10 May 1903 in Sabetha, Nemaha Co., Kansas, USA; was buried in Albany Cemetery, Sabetha, Nemaha County, Kansas, USA.

    Notes:

    Death Record shows father as "Jno Russell" and mother as "Sarah Russell" - 1855 census of Tyrone shows she is 39 and had been living in town for 35 years - meaning her parents should be in the town in 1820 and 1830 census. The 1830 census has Ebenezer and Abraham. Only Ebenezer shows having a daughter of her age. Also, Ebenezer was living in Seneca Co. at the time she was born (also shown in 1855 that she was born in Seneca Co.)

    Children:
    1. 1. Eliza Force was born in Mar 1840 in Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA; died on 14 Oct 1919 in Addison, Steuben Co., New York, USA; was buried in Wayne Village Cemetery, Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA.
    2. Julia C. Force was born in 1844 in Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA; died on 3 Apr 1867 in Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA; was buried in Wayne Village Cemetery, Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA.
    3. David A. Force was born in Feb 1847 in Tyrone, Schuyler Co., New York, USA.


Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Ebenezer Russell was born about 1781 in Kent, Putnam Co., New York, USA (son of John Russell and Abigail Barrett); died after 1832.

    Notes:

    Ebenezer came from Dutchess County to Seneca County about 1810, then removed to Wayne/Tyrone, Steuben/Schuyler Co.,NY about 1815.

  2. In 1812 there was a log house, owned by Ebenezer Russell, that was used for school purposes. This log house was the first school in Interlaken(NY) and stood north of the Goodman Hotel, where Railroad Avenue is today(1935). It had a mammoth fire-place in which were used logs eight and ten feet long. There were three or four other log houses and two frame houses there at that time. It was equipped with slab seats. The name of the first teacher was Joshua C. Covert. One of its early teachers was Judge Nathan B. Wheeler.

  9. 1832Feb07 - Ebenezer and wife Sarah, of Tyrone, paid off their mortgage in full of said property purchased 05May1820 from Elkhanah Watson, assigned by Dugald Cameron - apparently the same property that Ebenezer mortgage to Elizabeth Booth and was paid in full on the same day - Steuben County Mortgage Book 6, page 368-369.

  10. Sarah is certainly older than Ebenezer, possibly her second marriage???

    11. Ebenezer married Sarah Mead about 1810 in Dutchess Co., New York, USA. Sarah (daughter of Moses Mead and Mahala Russell) was born on 14 Apr 1776 in Dutchess Co., New York, USA; died on 09 Dec 1851 in Fremont, Steuben Co., New York, USA; was buried in Amos White Cemetery, Fremont, Steuben Co., New York, USA.

    Notes:

    Possibly the daughter of Moses Mead and his wife Mahala Russell. Also more than likely the sister of Joel Mead who was in Tyrone,Schuyler Co.,NY at the time Sarah and Ebenezer were.

    4. John married Abigail Barrett about 1775. Abigail was born on 27 Aug 1754 in New York, USA; died on 27 Feb 1798 in Kent, Putnam Co., New York, USA; was buried in Barrett Free Cemetery, Carmel, Putnam Co., New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Not sure the source for Abigail's madian name as Isham. However, it appears to me that it may be Barrett -- the children of Isaac(d.1824) and Jemina Barrett have the same first names as John and Abigial Russell (ie. Ebenezer, Isaac, ..) . Isaac and Jemina buried in the same cemetery as Abigail Russell...
