Nicholas Patch

Notes:

BIRTH: Parish 1f S. Petherton in Somersetshire near Burlescomb,
England. DEATH: Day of month from New Eng, Hist. Gen. Reg. v 111. Ron
Patch has d. bef 16 Nov 1673. Alt. d. date given in another rec. as
26 Nov 1673. Still another record gives b. 1595 and this has been used
rather than the c. date. Came to America on the ship Mary & John in
1636. Doris Amsbury's book gives the emmigrtion as May 1622 aboard
the Sparrow, which was part of Ketch's fleet of which 1/8 was owned by
the Norcross family. Death location and burial may have been in
Beverly, Salem, MA. Amsbury book also has info. from the Beverly
Historical Society. Some of the many hardships and Indian troubles
experienced by these early settlers are described in Charles Bolton's
Real Founders of New England. His account indicates that Edmund and
Nicholas were part of a group that in 1622 settled at Wessagusset
(Weymouth). Not long after, it seems they joined the Roger Conant
group in the Cape Ann area; then by 1626 they had moved on to Naumkeag
(Salem). (Bolton pp. 43-53; 158-177).
Because Nicholas and Edmund were among the first to settle in Salem,
they were of the group referred to as the "Old Planters." Their names,
with those of Richard Dodge, John and Benjamin Balch, and Roger Conant
appear frequently on early land transactions recorded in the Essex
County Book of Deeds, Book 1. Nicholas's sister Elizabeth and her
husband William Woodbury had also settled in Salem by 1637. Nicholas
was granted 40 acres of land near Mackerel Cove in the Beverly part of
Salem, on the south side. of Bald Hill (History of Salem, Vol. 2, p.
416-418, by Sidney Perley.)
Exhibit A reference has the following: Nicholas, Salem, had gr. of
ld. 1639, says Felt, was one of the founders of ch. at Beverly 1667,
with Eliz. prob. his w. who was says a wid tradit. the first girl of
Eng. parents, b. in the Col. of Mass. and d. 14 Jan. 1715, aged 86.
He d. Nov. 1673, leav. s. John, and Thomas. Hutch. II 216 and 3 Mass.
Hist. Coll. VII.256. Dwlr, in note on Ann. I. 175, informs us, "a
Patch fam. was in Salem as early as 1629;" but it is thot. by many
that is ten yrs. too soon.
Exhibit B gives a conflicting story on the who was the first girl.
More on this later.
Eliz. is no doubt Elizabet OWLEY. The dates and sons check; however,
the son we have as James is not listed. James died in 1658. Thus he
died before his father and in 1673, James had already died. Thus, the
record is probably correct.

Somerset. Emigrated to Salem, MA Colony with his sister Elizabeth
Patch Woodbury and his cousin Edmund in 1636. Lived in Mackerel Cove
in the Beverly part of Salem. He was a farmer who had a grant of ten

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: 13 May 1861, Angelica, Allegany County, New York; American Civil War (North) 27th New York Regt., I Co. Killed - Battle of Bull Run 1861

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.
