[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: 12 Apr 1776, Weare, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire; American Revolution

Notes:

In 1768, in the will of his grandfather, Jonathan FARREN [F1952], he is bequeathed one-half of three-quarters of 40 acres in Sandown, New Hampshire, but no record is known of its disposition. He appears on the Newtown (now Newton), New Hampshire tax lists in 1770 through 1774.

He married (1) in 1773 probably in Newtown, New Hampshire Mary CURRIER [F489]. His first child's birth is recorded there 19 NOV 1773.

On 18 MAY 1774 "Enos Ferren of Newtown, yeoman, buys of Jacob Tuxbury of Weare, N. H., 60 acres of land in said Weare for the sum of forty one pounds eight shillings." This land was in lot No. 41, range No. 1, and on the map of Weare, New Hampshire. It was in the southwest part of the town near the Francestown line. The old cellar hole was still seen in 1916.

Of his service in the Revolutionary War, the following has been found. His name is inscribed on a tablet in the Stone Memorial Building in Weare in memory of Weare men who served in the Revolution. In the "Town History of Weare, from a footnote on page 195, he was one of twelve men that Weare sent to Cambridge in 1775 for six weeks. This was in response to the alarm sounded by Paul Revere and others on 18 APR 1775, or shortly thereafter. He was one of eight men that Weare again sent to Cambridge for six weeks in 1776. On 7 APR 1777, a committee voted that "those who had paid out anything for the year should bring in their bills to this Committee who shall find out how much each should be allowed." Enos Ferren was allowed 1:7 for his services in 1775 and allowed __?__ dollars per month for his services in 1776. The "History of Weare" states that Weare men for the most part only saw camp service at Cambridge.

Enos remained in Weare about 5 years, and in OCT 1779 sold his land to Moses Eastman. Tradition says Enos removed to Chester, New Hampshire for a couple of years. This may mean "New Chester" which was the old name for Bristol, as some descendants relate that Enos walked from "Chester to Alexandria" searching for a place to build a house. He found a site on the hill road between Bristol and Alexandria, now known as the Atwood farm, and built a log house for himself and his family. It was the only house on this road. His wife Mary died about 1787 and was buried there, the first person buried in Alexandria. Her remains were afterwards removed to the Blake Fowler Place. Enos next moved to a part log house opposite the Henry Bailey place. When Enos first came here he had in his hand a willow cane cut by himself.

He put it in the ground just below the old Aaron Sleeper place on the right side of the road from Bristol to Alexandria. It sprouted and grew to be a large tree that was standing until recent times.

On 10 JUL 1781 Enos bought one third part of a lot of land of Jonas Minot in Alexandria, numbered 26 in the first division of lots. He lived in Alexandria, New Hampshire from 1781 to 1798. He was among those signing the petition of 10 JUN 1782 asking to be incorporated. On 23 NOV 1782 this request was granted.

He married (2) OCT 1788 at Alexandria, New Hampshire to Judith CORLISS, widow of David CROSS. They were married by Pastor Whipple. She had five children. Their children were about the same age and were brought up in the same household.

Enos appears often in the town records until 1798. On 4 JUL 1798 he swapped farms with William Crawford of Hebron, New Hampshire. From then until his death he appears in the Hebron town records. He is referred to from that time in as Deacon Enos Ferrin.

He died 3 MAR 1811 at East Hebron, Grafton County, New Hampshire; and was buried on his property there, with a common field stone to mark his grave. In 1916 a bronze tablet was erected in his memory.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: Apr 1775; American Revolution 1st Connecticut Regiment Capt. Douglas Company Discharged 23 Sep 1775

Notes:

In 1802 he received a deed from his father Enos for land in Hebron, near his brother Aaron. This was evidently on the East Hebron shore of Newfound Lake and likely part of his father's farm. However, he must have already owned land in 1799, since he appears on the Hebron tax list in 1799. He is on the tax lists until 1809. He is not on the lists in 1810 and 1811, but reappears from 1812 until 1815. Deed records show that for those two years he had sold his land in Hebron and moved to Orange, New York. He then sold the land in New York and moved back to Hebron.

They then sold their land again in Hebron in 1815 and started in the fall by oxcart for New York. He first settled in Sardinia, near Concord (which is now Springville), Erie County, New York. He resided at Sardinia until sometime between the censuses of 1830 and 1840, when he moved into Concord. He settled on Lot 52, range 6, township 7, and lived there until his death.

Notes:

James owned 126 acres of land in Almond,Allegany Co.,NY. Later moved to the city of Hornell. 1893 living at 251 Main Street, 1894 at 7 North Main and by 1896 when daughter Julia was married they were living at 53 1/2 Thacher St.

According to an article/advertisement in the Hornell Weekly Tribune, July 20, 1894. James suffered from sciatica pain (severe back pain)).

A Cripple Walks -- A Marvellous Change from a Sick Bed to Life and Health --

“For many months I have suffered everything but death. For weeks at a time, I was unable to stand on account of the most terrible pains, which extended from the small of my back into the sciatic nerves and streaked down my legs into my feet.

“There was a constant pain that reached to the nape of my neck and the back of my head. No man can describe the awful agony I endured, which was not only excruciating but continuous, night and day. I remained in this helpless and hopeless condition until every joint in my body became so stiff and sore I could scarcely move. My flesh left me to the extent of nearly twenty pounds. My eyes were sunken back into my head and surrounded by dark circles that made me look more like a skeleton than a human being.

“My appetite was gone. My stomach was so weak that I could not bear any strong food. During my sickness I had been treated by the best local physicians with no benefit whatever.”

Such were the sufferings of Mr. J. S. Ferrin, of 7 North Main St., this city, from sciatica. His pains were unendurable and had resisted large doses of anodynes. The muscles had contracted and the limb had shortened; Mr. Ferrin grew nervous and weak.

He said to the doctor: “I have tried everything but magnetism—if that fails I shall give up hope.” After the first magnetic treatment the pain was much relieved and he could sleep more soundly. The pain has continued to diminish and his general health to improve, and in less than a fortnight he has been able to go back to his employment at the brickyard. In less than four weeks’ time he has entirely recovered.

Mr. Ferrin now looks back on those long and weary months of his life with wonder and horror. It took Dr. Smith longer to eradicate from his system the effects of the opium, calomel, and other poisonous drugs than it has to cure the original disease.

Chronic sciatica is laid down in all medical works as incurable except by a painful and dangerous surgical operation, the effect of which is doubtful. Dr. Smith will give ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS in cash to any charitable institution in this city, designated by the patient for any case of sciatica which he cannot cure, provided the sufferer will agree to follow directions the prescribed length of time. This offer is neither bluff nor bluster but is made in the strictest good faith.

Dr. F. B. Smith is an expert in the treatment and cure of all nervous and chronic diseases and may be consulted daily, free of charge at the Page House, Hornellsville, where he is permanently established rooms 10 and 12, right at the head of the stairs.

Notes:

1860 Eugene was working in Angelica with his Uncle Hiram Bowen, a Lawyer in Angelica.

Eugene was a member of Company "I" in the 27th New York Regiment,under Capt. Gardner. He was the first man killed in the Civil War from Allegany Co.,NY, while on the front line of the first Battle of Bull Run. Eugene was known as a young man with great promise. He had enlisted 13May1861 at Angelica,NY (some debate if he was the first killed on the second from Allegany - see below)



Rushford and Rushford People, by Helen Josephine White Gilbert, 1910. p.337/8

Extract from a letter written by William Seiver(Seaver) of Angelica, late of Co. I, 27th Regiment, N.Y.V.:
"My impression is that Eugene Ferrin of West Almond, N.Y. was the first Allegany soldier who was killed in the Civil War. Our regiment had but just got onto the fighting ground of Bull Run under command of Col. Henry W. Slocum (later Major General Slocum) when directly in our front was two Rebel regiments; the first volley they fired Eugene Ferrin was struck in the forehead, standing at my side. If Babbitt was killed in the morning, before the battle of Bull Run I did not learn about it."

Extract from a letter written by Philander D. Ellithorpe of Buffalo, late of Co. I, 27th Regiment, N.Y.V.:
"I have no recollection of Ferrin but I do know when and where Albert Babbitt was killed; I saw him receive the second shot, after he was down; it was down in the valley, near the house and not far from where Col. Slocum was wounded. The Eighth Georgia regiment was on the skirmish line down the valley and there were two other regiments of Rebs in ambush; we did not see them until they opened fire upon us."

Notes:

The sketch of the life of a self-made man is always interesting, and is not without its useful lessons.
The grandfather of our subject, Ebenezer Ferrin, was a native of New Hampshire. He emigrated from the State to Concord, Erie Co., NY, and was on e of the pioneer settlers of that town. He located and cleared a farm near the village of Springville, where he closed his days in the year 1851. Upon that farm, also, his son Adna P., father of Augustine Ferrin, died in 1854, and there the subject of this notice was born, March 9, 1843.
Mr. Ferrin’s father moved to the town of Yoirshire, Cattaraugus Co., NY, about the uear 1845, but returned to the homestead farm in Erie County in 1851. He followed the pursuit oof agriculture, as had his father before him. He married (in 1842), Lucinda Sanders, daughter of William Sanders, of Erie Co., NY, but of Connecticut partentage. She died in 1861. Of this union, Augustine was the oldest child. Owing to the death of his father when young Ferrin was but eleven years of age, his advantages for acquiring an education – limited to a few years at the district school, and a few terms at the Springville Academy – were cut short. The maintenance of his mother and sisters depending largely upon his efforts, he started out in the life-sturggle at an earlier age than most youths, - being but thirteen years of age when he entered the printing office on his maternal uncle, Lucius C. Sanders, then publishing The American Citizen, at Springville. Six months later the office was sold, and the paper discontinued. Augustine returned to his books, and thus spent the year that intervened ere he entered the office of the Springfield Heald, as a apprentice to the “art preservative.: While serving his apprenticship, and with the consent of his employer, he issued from that office a small paper entitled the Penny Weekly, the labor of his own hands and brain, and the result of diligently employed leisure hours. This early manifestation of genius shows his penchant for journalistic honor.
He remained in the Herald office until August, 1962, when he enlisted in Company F, of the 116th Regiment of New York Volunteers. He accompanied the regiment to Baltimore, thence to Fortress Monroe and New Orleans, was with it at the siege of Port Hudson, and in the Donaldsonville campaign; but upon the return of the regiment to Baton Rouge, LA., he was sent to the hospital for disability, from whence he was honorably discharged in the fall of 1963. He returned to Springville December 1, and in the January following took charge of the Springville Chronicle, remaining its editor and publisher until April 1,1865, when he became the “city editor” of the well-known Buffalo Express. This honorable position he was, on account of failing health, compelled to resign in September 1965. The following year and a half were spent in efforts to regain his health. The summer of 1866 he passed on the farm of Rev. J. B. Saxe, thereby restoring his health sufficiently to justify him in returning to his chosen field of employment. He then purchased the Springville Herald establishment, and removed the press and materials to Ellicottville, where he started the Cattaraugus County Republican, the first issue of which was dated Feb. 7, 1868, he removed his officer thither.
Jan. 1, 1873, he associated with himself B. B. Weber as a partner, and a few months later they opened an office at Salamanca. The Republican thenceforward was dated at Salamanca and Little Valley, with offices at both places. In addition to the above, in February, 1876, Messre, Ferrin & Weber engaged in a pioneer newspaper enterprise in the oil region, - establishing the Bradford Semi-Weekly Era. The paper was continued as a semi-weekly until October, 1877, when it was changed to a daily issue, Mr. C. F. Persons becoming a partner in the business. To comprehend the magnitude of the enterprise of publishing a daily at Bradford, with full “press dispatches,” it must be remembered that at the time the place was but a city in embryo, and numbered less than five thousand inhabitants. The Daily Era was a success from its inception, and became at once the organ of the oil producers in the Northern oil field. In April 1877, the two first-named partners sold their interest in the Bradford establishment to Mr. Parsons.
Mr. Ferrin married (Sept 24, 1868) Miss Anna E. Weber, of Springville, NY. She died Feb. 15, 1872, and Jan. 1, 1874, he married Miss Flavilla J. Van Hoesen, Preble, Cortland Co., NY. The result of the latter union has been one son, - Augustine W. Ferrin, Jr., - and a daughter,, - Susie L. Mr. Ferrin’s residence is at Little Valley.
Thus far in his career, Mr. Ferrin has led an active and useful life, and now, in the prime of his manhood, enjoys an enviable reputation of a journalist not only in the home of his adoption, but throughout Western New York.

Si was working as a Fish and Game Warden in what is now Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, when that section of Wyoming was opened to homesteading. He filed his homestead near the old Black Rock Ranger Station and started cattle ranching. He subsequently bought out other small ranchers and farmers, and became one of the larger cattle ranchers in that section. In the 1920's, the Rockefeller Family bought out several large and small ranchers and homesteads in that part of Wyoming, including the Si Ferrin properties. He then moved his family to Jackson, Wyoming. Until the depression he became a cattle broker buying cattle from local ranchers. He drove the consolidated herds to a railhead at either Victor or Driggs, Idaho or Green River, Wyoming. He spent the rest of his life in Jackson with a loving family.

THE ALFRED SUN, WEDNESDAY, March 21, 1900
A Terrible Fire.
Eugene Ferrin's Home Burned To the Ground Early Sunday Morning and Two of His Children Perish in The Flames
Last Sunday morning the inhabitants of this community received a shock, Which, while it excited the sensibilities, at the same time touched the Inmost hearts and sympathetic natures of all, when it was learned that the home Of Eugene Ferrin lives in a house belonging to Wm Ostrander, situated almost three miles from this village on the McHenry Valley road, was burned to the ground together with the entire contents, and two of Mr. Ferrin's children had perished in the flames. About twelve o'clock Saturday night Mrs. Ferrin arose and put a chunk of wood in the stove to keep the fire until morning. She then retired again and her attention was soon attracted by a reflection of light which proved to be a fire which had started around the stove pipe hole down stairs. Mrs. Ferrin gave her husband the alarm and went to the stair door and called the three older children who were sleeping overhead, two boys in one room and a little girl in another. They answered and the little girl came down. The fire was at first apparently not very serious and Mr. Ferrin, endeavored to extinguish the flames with two pails of water which were handy; but this amount being insufficient and the water privileges being very inconvenient, he was obliged to abandon the effort. When it became apparent that the house would be destroyed, Mrs. Ferrin rushed out of the house with her baby and little girl. Seeing that the boys did not come down stairs in response to the call, Mr.Ferrin became alarmed for their safety and started up the stairs to rescue them but was met by a wall of seething flame which caused him to retreat. He then rushed out of the house and after procuring a ladder, climbed to the chamber window which was located near the bed in which the boys had been sleeping. We are informed that when Mr.Ferrin broke through the window he found that the children had left their bed and were in the opposite corner of the room cut off from him by the flames so that it was impossible to effect their rescue. In his efforts to save the children he was very badly burned, the hair being burned from his head and his hands and one side of his face being entirely blistered. The two boys who were cremated were aged 9 and 3 years. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrin and the other two children escaped with nothing save their night clothes and walked on third of a mile to Mr. Ostrander's in their bare feet. The night was severely cold, the thermometer standing at eight below zero, and their feet were badly frozen from the exposure. They are at present at the home of Mrs. Ferrin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry McIntosh, and it will be some time before they recover from the burns and effects of exposure. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrin have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their great calamity and bereavement, and several parties are busily engaged in collecting effects to aid them in their time of need. Surely this is a Christian duty, and we trust that all will join in bearing these heavy burdens that they may be made as light as possible for those on whom they will fall with crushing weight. The remains of the little ones were placed in a casket "together" and interred in Woodlawn Cemetery Monday afternoon.

IN A STRANGE WAY.
Hobart Allen Falls From Hay Rake—Is Dragged, Kicked by Horses and Dies Shortly.
An inexpressibly sad and unexplainable accident occurred on the farm of George M. Meeder in Orangeville last Thursday morning as the result of which Hobart Allen, the eleven-year-old son of K. Allen lost his life. The lad, whose father is the cheese maker in the factory near Mr. Meeder's, was driving two horses on a hay rake, in the same field in which Mr. Meeder and his son were at work, but the men were not in sight of the boy with the rake and the first thing which attracted attention, was the team going across the field toward the road. Mr. Meeder's son saw them, and after calling to the horses to stop, and he was following them to the barn, some half mile distant, when Miss Nellie Meeder heard his calling and went out and stopped the team. It was then discovered that Hobart Allen had in some way fallen between the two horses and that the inside tug of the near horse was around his body, and though the boy was still living, the kicks received on the back of his head had fractured the skull, and he lived but a short time. The horses were dragging the whiffletrees and the evener, and the tugs were fastened and how the boy got in the position described is past understanding. The rake with the pole broken was in the field. The body was taken to Mr. Meeder's house, and on Saturday was taken to Almond, Allegany County for burial. The boy's mother died a couple of years ago. The father, two brothers and a sister survive. This is Mr. Allen's second season at the factory.

Notes:

Polly(Mary Stanley) graduated from Hornell High School in 1920. She lived with her aunt, Mrs. John Stanley, after the death of her mother in 1905. She was said have had a very tough time as a little girl, living with her mothers family, having to hear about how "improper those Allen's are." Audrey Allen, said that Grandma was not even aloud to play with the neighbor kids because she was an Allen. Grandma never mentioned anything about her father having been Divorced before marring her mother. This was look down upon at the time and may have been why her parents went to Steuben County to get married by a Justice of the Peace. Grandma always spoke highly of her father and of his third wife Edith Jotry. She so wanted to go and live with them, but from what I understand, they were always traveling and it would be no place for a little girl, so she was told.

1910 living with his grandfather Andrew Allen in Alfred. Miles was employed by Seymour G. Stewart in West Almond, as a farm laborer, according to the 1920 census of West Almond. He was said, Audrey Pettibone, to have been living with his half-sister, Grace Farnum, in Wellsville at the time of his death. Miles was killed in an oil refinery fire in Wellsville. A story relayed to me by Audrey Pettibone from her uncle(Lionel), who know Miles, said that about every Saturday night there was a dance and one night a deputy sheriff came and caused alot of grief for everyone. The Deputy was apparently not well liked by everyone. Never-the-less, some words were spoken and Miles hit the Deputy with his fist, knocking the Deputy out cold. Miles spent the next three days in jail. Under normal circumstances, Miles could have been fired from his job for such an incident, but his boss kept him on. Unfortunately, he was killed not long after.
