When his father died, the estate contained 579 acres, the was divided among William's siblings and the share that fell to William was 69 acres. He then moved on to a five acre lot that he purchased of the heirs of Susannah Hartman, his grandmother, where he lived and carried on farming. He continued and had always followed farming and had been eminently successful. By his energy, economy and enterprise he has acquired a large property and is ranked among the leading agriculturists of the county. His advantage for an education were such were afforded by the common schools of his town and the academy at Dansville. He had never been an office seeker nor an active politician. He gave his allegiance to the Democratic party until 1860, when he voted for Abraham Lincoln, and voted for the candidates of the Republican party from 1860 to 1872, when he voted for Horace Greeley. Since that time he had voted for whom he had considered the best man, regardless of party.

A GOOD MAN GONE.
William Hartman, Whom Every One Knew and Respected.
William Hartman died at his home one mile north of the village after a two week illness of gastro-enteritis. The best efforts of his family physician aided and assisted by a council of eminent physicians from Buffalo and the Sanatorium, were rewarded by only an apparent mitigation of his disease. Heart failure supervening, he suddenly passed away, surrounded by his devoted wife and loving family on Saturday morning April 12th, 1890. Mr. Hartman was born Jan 30. 1820, on the old homestead farm. In 1850 was married to Catherine Driesbach, and moved to his present home, which was adjoining and part of the old homestead. Here he lived for forty years acquiring an honest reputation for industry and sound judgement which will always attach to his memory. His integrity was beyond question and his industry has always been apparent in the care he bestowed upon his several farms. He did not live simply to enjoy the prudent and honest accumulation of property, but commencing with a common school education he sought the aid of the best periodicals and publications of the day, which he perused and stored in his mind until his knowledge became extensive and versatile. He has taken Harper's Magazine from its first number dated June 1850, having read every number up to his last illness. A conservative man, it was only in his present home when dispensing hospitality to his friends that Mr. Hartman was at his best. It was then his well-stored mind gave forth its rich treasure. He leaves a wife and three children, William H. Hartman, Miss Lydia M. Hartman, and Mrs. F. W. Noyes. The funeral services were conducted on Monday by the Rev. W. R. McCutcheon and Geo. K. Ward, and a large concourse of relatives and friends followed his remains to Greenmount cemetery, where amid the smiles and tears of an April day he was quietly laid to rest."

Notes:

James acquired his education during the winter terms of the district
schools, and was reared to the pursuit of agriculture. This pleasant
and health-giving occupation he has pursued throughout the years of
his active life, and, although he has owned and managed several
different farms, he had always made his home within the limits of his
native county, each change that he has made having been an
advantageous one. He began his independent career as a farmer in the
old log house in which he drew the first breath of life, and made his
first purchase of land on the old town line in Sparta, where he lived
in the log house, which constituted the principal improvement of the
farm, occupying it for two years. Selling that, Mr. Roberts bought
the old McKay homestead, on which he lived for four years, in the mean
time adding greatly to its improvement, and largely increasing its
value, so that he disposed of it at an advanced price. The following
two years he owned and managed a farm on Mount Morris Ridge.
Receiving a flattering offer for it, he sold, and moved two miles
south, on the Mount Morris Road, where he lived five and one-half
years. He then sold that, and returned to the old homestead, where he
resided six months.
Mr. Roberts's next purchase of land was in Dansville, where he stayed
three years, prosperously engaged in farming. Thence he removed to
Mount Morrris, locating on the State Road, where he lived four years,
adding much needed improvements to the farm before disposing of it.
In the town of Mount Morris he resided for the next fourteen years,
owning different places, and winning a substantial reputation as an
energetic and industrious farmer and shrewed and far-seeing business
man. Then, after living in the town of Portage for a year, Mr.
Roberts rented his farm there, an removed to the town of Nunda, where
he is numbered among the most respected citizens.
Mr. Roberts, who in his earlier years was a Whig, and cast his first
Presidental vote for Henry Clay in 1844, had been an active Republican
since the formation of the party. Both he and his estimable wife
were devout members of the Presbyterian church of Nunda, having united
with it many years ago.[CI:215:?4:CI]

Notes:

Listed in the 1850 census with Samuel and Mary Hunt as Samuel Jr. However, I believe this is actually their daughter Elizabeth's son, Samuel. Conrad and Elizabeth are both living with their parents in 1850 census and not married. In 1855 when they are married they have Samuel Shoup (age 7), and the twins Aaron and Eugene. Samuel Shoup's d/c names parents Conrad and Elizabeth, but if they were not married at the time, he(Samuel) would have appeared with his mother in the census and shown as Samuel Hunt, as is the case. Question is, is Conrad Shoup really his father?

Notes:

Elias Driesbach, was a son of Henry and Lydia Driesbach, and we are sure that in saying he is a worthy son of his highly respected parents, we but utter a truth that is his due. Like his father he is a farmer and no better cultivator of the soil is found in the town of Sparta. Besides this he is one of the largest land owners in that town. His homestead farm where he resides consists of one hundred and thirty-nine acres. It is beautifully situated on elevated land above the magnificent valley of the Canaseraga, which lies in all its beauty in full view of his homestead, stretching far away to the north, until lost in the valley of the Genesee. No finer view than this is found in Western New York. Elias D., was born at Sparta, Feb. 17, 1822. In his youth he was subjected to the trials and hardships incident to a life in a new country, and therefore had few advantages for gaining an education. But he made the best use of those he did have, and obtained a competent common school education-all that was necessary to rank him among the intelligent, successful farmers around him. It is not saying too much that he possesses in a large degree, native sagacity, judgment and discernment. He is a man of much practical ability, order and promptness. His honor and integrity have never been questioned or doubted and his word has always been regarded as good as his bond-which is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, good. In his dealings with men he is upright and just, demanding what is his due, and giving to others their whole due to the last farthing. Until he was twenty-three years of age he lived with his father, and much of his labor was devoted to assisting him on his farm. January 16, 1845, he married Susannah, daughter of Joseph Kidd, of Dansville. She, though now an invalid, is all that a wife and mother should be, kind, affectionate and exemplary. Thus far six children have been born to them, named as follows, Susan Catharine, Lydia Ann, Mary, Rosy, Joseph and Emma. Mr.Driesbach settled on the farm where he now resides, soon after his marriage. He has been very fortunate in his business relations. By successful negotiations and far-sighted enterprise, he has accumulated quite a large fortune. Among his property he owns five hundred and ninety-four acres of valuable land, one hundred and forty acres of which are situated in the town of Springwater and the remainder in Sparta, including the old homestead of seventy acres, purchased by his father. Mr. Driesbach is a member of the Lutheran Reformed church, of Dansville, having united with that congregation many years ago. The old church, which still stands, was erected in 1826, and his father was very active in building it and sustaining the congregation. Mr. Driesbach has, since uniting with the church, been a consistent, influential, devoted, and exemplary member. In politics, like his father, he is a Democrat, strong in the faith of the fathers of that party. While firm in his principles, he still accords the same right to his political opponents, believing in everyone's thinking for himself, and would not, if he could, control any person in his political or religious rights or belief. It is just to Mr. Driesbach to state that in his business relations, in his family and as a citizen, his life and career is certainly an honor to his town and county, and that the pages of this history could not properly be filled without a fair, impartial, and just biography of him.
(History of Livingston County, New York, 1881, by James H. Smith the following biography is written)

1860 census Sparta, Elias Driesbach, ae.39, farming, real estate value $6,950, personal proprety value $2,000. 1870 census for Elias Driesbach, ae.47, reported the value of his real estate as $23,230 and his personal property as $2,770.

Elias married Susanah Kidd on 16 Jan 1845. Susanah (daughter of Joseph Kidd and Catherine Vogle) was born on 13 Dec 1823 in Sparta, Livingston County, New York; died in 1888 in Sparta, Livingston County, New York; was buried in Greenmount Cemetery, North Dansville, Livingston County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1860 Henry was living in Sparta with Emmeline Osborn(ae.38), Andrew
Osborn(ae.13), Benjamin Miller(ae.24), and Samuel Barker(ae.20).
Henry was the head of the household and had a farm with a real estate
value of $10,000 and his personal property value was $1,865.
From the History of Livingston County, New York, 1881, by James H.
Smith the following biography is written.
"Henry Driesbach, Jr., was another son of Henry Driesbach, Sr., whose
biography appears in the pages of this work. He was a farmer, and in
the truest sense realized and appreciated the duties, trials and
embarrassments of all agricultural life. It is said by those in
the great book of human nature that all men are born with natural
proclivities for certain business occupations or science. Hence, one
man is a chemist, another an anatomist, another an astronomer, some
are intuitively mechanics and some musicians. Conceding this to be
true, then, we unhesitatingly say that Henry Driesbach was intuitively
a farmer. To him the farm was as natural as the native heath of the
McGregors to Roderick Dhu.
One of the distinguishing features of Livingston county is the
success of its farmers in raising stock. Into this Mr. Driesbach
entered enthusiastically. His judgment in this department was second
to no man's in the county young as he was during the active period
of his business life.
He was born at Sparta, Livingston county, May 9, 1824. He lived
with his father until he was twenty-eight years old. Having attained
that age he decided to commence business for himself. Being of an
independent, self-reliant turn of mind, and determined to be indebted
to no one for whatever success awaited him, he declined to ask his
father for any pecuniary assistance. Trusting to his own intelligence
and business capacity, he purchased on his own account the farm
just north of the village of Dansville called the "Shepard farm."
Without a dollar in the world he entered into speculation. His
self-reliance gave him success, and within a comparatively brief
period of time he stocked his farm, paid for it and brought it to a
very high state of cultivation. As an evidence of his perseverance we
relate the following:
A portion of his farm extended to the bottom of the Canaseraga, and
was accordingly so damp and boggy that it was a common thing to see
cattle almost hopelessly mired in the bogs.
Mr. Driesbach conceived the idea of draining those lands. He
accordingly commenced a system of drainage by underground cause ways
with such success that he soon made the lands perfectly dry, fertile
and productive. Henry Driesbach was a man of uncommon good sense,
thoughtful, candid, honest and direct. He had no platitudes. One
always knew exactly how to take him, and if he gae his word he carried
it out to the letter, as of to the time, place, and everything. He
was a man of very few words, but when he spoke it was to the point.
He was retiring but firm in his convictions, to an extent little
removed from stubbornness. In the midst of activity and usefulness he
was seized by an incurable malady which ended his days while he was in
the prime of manhood, and in the midst of his financial success and
usefulness, he died October 28, 1868, aged 45 years. His knowledge of
the value of farming land was almost unequalled an assessor of the
town of Sparta for a considerable period of time. In politics he was
a Democrat, honest and true to his convictions, but modest and
unassuming in declaring them. He early united with the Lutheran
Reformed Church at Dansville and was in every sense a worthy,
consistent Christian man, observant of all duties and ordinance of the
Church such was Henry Driesbach, Jr., in every sense a man who
commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him."

The particulars pertaining to the death of Mr. Hartman are as follows: He was many miles back in the mountains in Oregon on a hunting expedition. It seems a sum of money had been sent him by his sister before his start and for this reason alone he was undoubtedly murdered. Deceased was shot by some one in front of him with a heavy rifle, the ball entering the lower regions of his lungs, causing almost instantaneous death. The person who did this foul murder is now under arrest in the West awaiting examination. Hartman leaves one sister. Mrs. Catherine Hartman Cooley, who resides on the old homestead in Groveland.

Notes:

Death of Miss Mary Harrison.
Miss Mary Harrison, formerly of this village, died at the Home at Number 210 East Avenue in Rochester last Thursday at the age of 70 years. She was born in this village, the daughter of the late Henry Harrison, and lived all her life in the homestead on lower Main street until five years ago when she sold the place to Herbert McWhorter and then went to the Home where she was given the care and attention due to a person of her station in life. While there she had many attentions from former friends living in the city and her last years were very pleasant ones. She is survived by one brother, James Harrison of Seattle, Washington. The remains were brought here at noon on Saturday and buried on the family lot in Greenmount cemetery, being accompanied by Miss Helene L. Reche, Miss Eugenie M. Reche and Mrs. Jenny Clark, who saw that they were properly interred.
