Before coming to western New York, he was engaged in getting out timber for ship building; he also bought vessels overdue and believed to be lost. One of these vessels was captured by the French in August of 1792. The claim was presented at Washington and collected, but not until after his death and his decendants could not prove the claim. It still remains at Washington,D.C.
Benjamin and his family came to what was then called Genesee Country, on the Genesse River in 1799, wishing to engage in milling. He followed the river as far as where the City of Rochester now is, however he considered it an unhealthy place and traveled east until he came to Clyde river; following this up stream he came to one of its tributaries(Mud Creek). Following this, he came to the place now called East Bloomfield and erected the first grist-mill in this section. Benjamin also build a saw-mill. He purchased the farm of about 140 acres of the four corners on the west side of the Creek road in 1799 and built the present house in 1806. He there erected the first grist-mill in this vicinity, now known as Pool's Mill.

Notes:

ONTARIO COUNTY JOURNAL December 30, 1904 PAGE 2 COL 4 Death of Mortimer Sleght. About midnight on Sunday, at his home on Scotland Road, occurred the death of Mortimer Sleght, a long time and respected resident. Mr. Sleght had been in failing health for several years, and since November had been confined to the home with a complication of heart and kidney troubles. Deceased was born here sixty-six years ago, and most of his life had been spent here. He was a Constable for over twenty years, and was turnkey under Sheriff Robert H. Wheeler. In 1870 he married Harriet L. Scott, of Rochester, who with three sons, Walter S., Francis J., and Carlton M. Sleght, all prominent in the business life of the village survive. One brother, Carlton W. Sleght, of Allen's Hill, also survives. Mr. Sleght wasa a member of Company K, N Y Mounted Rifles, which did valiant service in the Civil War. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Lewis Sweet of the Presbyterian church conducting the service. His body was interred 1904 Canandaigua, New York, Woodlawn Cemetery. Section 7 52.

In the 1892 Canandaigua Census he is listed as 54 years of age, a Constable. 1900 Canandaigua Census shows them married 29 years. At the Ontario County Archives in Hopewell, NY, I found a copy of their marriage recorded in 1904 amongst the miscellaneous records. It read as follows, This certifies that on the twenty first day of September, in the year of our Lord 1870,A. Mortimer Sleght and H. Louise Scott were by me united in marriage at East Bloomfield, according to the laws of the State of NY. L. D. Chapin, Minister. Witnesses were H. C. Gilbert and Chas. McKinney. A true copy of the original recorded 30th December 1904. (Harriet Louise Scott is #4263.)

Some humor has come to light concerning the changing of the spelling of the surname. According to a descendant of Mortimer, he sent a letter to his wife Louise explaining that they would change the spelling from Sleight to Sleght because the military had recorded his name as Sleght. Changing their name to Sleght was the only way to collect his pay and pension. The descendant related to me that there was a family joke that he lost an i, a verbal pun for eye, in the Civil War.

Andrew married Harriet Lousie Scott on 21 Sep 1870 in East Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York.

Julia Ann Pool was born in the town of South Bristol 85 years ago, and with the exception of eight years residence in Michigan, her life had been spent in the town in which she was born and the adjoining towns of Bristol and Richmond. She was one of a family of nine children, only one of whom survives. Sixty years ago she was married to Theodore Sleight and six children came of this union. the family circle remained unbroken until 14 years ago, when Theodore, the youngest son, died, and a year later the husband and father also died. Mrs. Sleight was a woman of strong, Christian character, for many years a member of the Universalist church at Baptist Hill, a devoted wife and mother, a staunch, kind friend and neighbor, ever ready with a kindly word or noble act, and despite her great age retained her faculties and youthful appearance to a marked degree. She is survived by an aged sister, Mrs. Eliza Phillips; two daughters, Mrs. Boylan of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. Z. J. Briggs, of this village; three sons, Henry Sleight of Ann Arbor, Mich.; John of Richmond Mills, and Frank of Honeoye Falls; ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren. The funeral was held on Friday afternoon from the home of her son at Richmond Mills, Rev. G. C. Babbitt of the Universalist church of Bristol, officiating, with interment at Lakeview cemetery in Honeoye. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
