Farrington was a doctor, had served as a surgeon in the War of the Rebellion/Civil War--his letters use the former term. He practiced in Binghamton, attended a conference in Paris after which he brought back a porcelain doll to Margurite Breckinridge, his great niece, on the occasion of her birthday. She was born at home, his signature is on her birth certificate. The doll, named "Lillian" is currently owned by Desiree Elaine Stover ,7th great niece. He also published a pamphlet 1892 outlining the family ancestors, with personal information . A copy of that, with a hand written letter dated 1907, is in the possession of Sheila Spencer Stover. From the Tompkins Co. page: US GenWeb Project: The cemetery story below was borrowed from: A History of Trumansburg, New York, 1792-1967 by Lydia Sears, pages 35-36 ***************** The cemetery, on Main Street east of the present Methodist Church was Presbyterian though all sects used it. In 1847, the Presbyterian Congregation purchased a tract of land comprising part of the present Grove Cemetery which it maintained until 1854 when a non-sectarian association was formed. The moving of the gravestones from the Old cemetery was not carried out very carefully or thoroughly and the process continued over a number of years. Many of the original stones may be found in the northern section of Grove Cemetery in a little visited area. The first burying ground was somewhere in the present area of Mrs. W.P. Biggs home. Its existence had been forgotten for many years until Dr. John M. Farrington, who had heard of it from Col. Camp, investigated in September 1876. He wrote, "Time and neglect have allowed the stones to fall over and they were densely covered with weeds and grass. Three only were standing. ************************************************* Chapter
XIII The Town of Ulysses TOWN OF ULYSSES The Town of Ulysses is situated on the west bank of Cayuga Lake and is the northwestern town in Tompkins county. Its shore line on the lake is precipitous in many places, and the land rises gradually from the bluffs until it reaches a height of 600 feet above the lake, and then spreads into an undulating upland, constituting a beautiful and fertile farming section. The soil is a gravelly loam, admirably adapted for growing grains and grasses. The town contains 19,400 acres, by far the larger part (about 16,000) being improved. The only stream of importance is the Taghanic Creek which flows across the town from west to east. In the northern part is Trumansburgh Creek, and there are several smaller streams, on all of which are cascades. The celebrated Taghanic Falls , which are on the creek of that name and about a mile from the lake, is the highest perpendicular fall in this State. The stream flows through a gorge worn in the shale rock 380 feet deep, and the water drops over a harder limestone ledge 215 feet.1 The town of Ulysses embraces the site of one or two Indian villages which existed before the foot of the white man had impressed its soil. In GREENHALGH's account of a journey westward from Albany made in the summer of 1677, he says, that Indian villages were sixty miles southeast of ye Onondagas on Lake Tiohero (now Cayuga). Another early writer says where Taghanic Creek empties into the Tiohero Lake the Indians had built a small town and were growing corn, beans and potatoes. They had also apple trees on the rich flats of two and a half centuries' growth. While we may not readily agree with some of this statement, the site of the Indian village is well known, and was called by the name of the creek. Its inhabitants escaped attention by Lieutenant Colonel DEARBORN in his raid from SULLIVAN's main army, on his return from the Genesee. There was also another Indian village near the site of Waterburg village. The first white settlement in what is now the Town of Ulysses was, made by Samuel WEYBURN, who came with his wife and four children from Tioga Point and built his log cabin at what has been known as GOODWIN's Point on the lake shore. His son, of the same name, was town clerk in 1812, but the elder WEYBURN removed away in a few years. In the fall of 1792 Abner TREMAN and his brother-in-law, John McLALLEN, came to Ulysses. Mr. TREMAN had served in the Revolutionary war, and drew for his services lot No. 2 (640 acres), which tract embraced the site of Trumansburgh. He arranged with his brother Philip to come into the wilderness and clear a part of his land. Philip and his son Benjamin walked here from thirty mile, north of Albany, carrying their axes, provisions, etc. They built a little hut, cleared off about eight acres, and then returned to their eastern home. In the fall of the same year Abner came on, as before stated, burned the brush, piled the logs, sowed the land to wheat, and returned home. Originally from Columbia county, Mr. TREMAN had lived about a year in Chenango county, and in February, 1793, started from there with his wife and three children, and John McLALLEN, his wife's brother, and reached his settlement in March. They built their first log house near the creek. In the winter of 1794 he drove his oxen to the flats where Ithaca is situated to feed them on the marsh grass. Returning he stopped over night at Nathaniel DAVENPORT’s tavern on the West Hill. A heavy fall of snow came on with intense cold, and he started on foot about nine o'clock the next morning. The journey was a terrible one, and he reached WEYBURN's, at GOODWIN's Point, about midnight, but too near dead to enter the house. His cries were heard, however, and he was carried in. His feet were so badly frozen that one of them had to be amputated. In 1794 he built a small grist mill on the creek, and soon afterward erected a larger log house, in 1806 he built a frame house, Mr. TREMAN was a man of great force of character and left his mark upon the community which he founded. He died August 13, 1823, and his descendants are still living and occupying important places in the county, as elsewhere stated. We quote the following from a historical sketch written by Dr. J. M. FARRINGTON in 1876, the memoranda for which he gathered largely from Hermon CAMP during his life, and is a description of Trumansburgh in 1805. As far as possible we have brought its statements down to the present time: ""The snow was about six inches in depth, and night overtook him before he reached the Pine Woods, which at that time extended to the Halseyville Creek. There was no real road, the smaller trees only were cut, and the road was very crooked or zigzag to avoid the larger trees. He was very weary and cold by the time he reached McLALLEN's tavern. As you come from Jacksonville on the hill east of Halseyville Creek, where the barns of Frank PEARSALL now stand, was a small frame house, occupied by Michael SNELL, who afterwards became justice of the peace. A log bridge crossed the Halseyville Creek, above where the dam now is. The road there wound through what at that time were extensive pine woods, towards Trumansburgh next on the road being a log one, near where A. J. HOWLAND now resides, and was occupied by a Mr. HAVENS. Another log house was located where J. D. GOULD's barn now stands, and was owned by Robert McLALLEN. There was about an acre of clearing surrounding each of these dwellings. The next house was the one built by the first settler, Abner TREMAN. Going westward, the grist mill of Mr. TREMAN was the first structure, which stood on the site of the present stone mill of CLOCK & SMITH. Both the mill and dam were built of logs. The hillside slope leading to the mill was covered with large hemlock trees, girdled and dead. In the mill pond black ash trees were standing, but dead. A small frame house stood near where the bookstore now is [now a grocery]. Bethniel BOND had once kept a few goods there. A log potashery was standing where Samuel WILLIAMS's shop is, bordering on the mill pond. A Mr. CHEESMAN owned the establishment, and got water from the mill pond for its use. CHEESMAN was there, and made a little potash after Mr. CAMP came; but Esquire BOND was at that time living in Covert with his family on the place now owned by Stephen HORTON [now occupied by CURTIS]. BOND still owned the little building before alluded to, but kept no goods after Mr. CAMP came. BOND was accustomed to take two or three barrels of potash to Utica with a horse and wagon to buy goods. Mr. TREMAN had then cleared on our present South street as far as where Linas WARING now lives, and John TREMBLY, a tailor, grandfather of the landlord of the TREMBLY House, lived there. The south road was opened as far as Deacon HAND's place, and there David ATWATER lived. Mr. ATWATER first settled where W. B. DUMONT now lives, near the Taghanic depot. The UPDYKE Settlement had occurred previously, and probably the road was opened from Glen Mills, as far as the log meeting house, which stood near the burying ground, on the farm now owned by Peter VAN LIEW. There was a road leading from this place to GOODWIN's Point, passing somewhere near the hill of the present road. There was no clearing the trees adjacent to the house were felled. TREMAN had cleared both sides of Main street to the creek, which was spanned by a bridge about where it now is. An old orchard on Mr. COREY's land, near the brickyard, marks the site of a house where Joshua HINCKLEY then lived. The only other building in that direction, which Mr. CAMP recollects, was near where Seymour BATES now lives. The timber growing was mostly beech, maple and basswood, while pine and hemlock covered the banks of the creeks and the land adjoining. On the west side of Trumansburgh Creek near where GOODYEAR's store now stands, John McLALLAN had just built a new tavern. It was a frame building, two stories high, the lower story dug back into the bank or hillside, and having a cellar at the rear part of it. The land was cleared upon the hill where the Phˆnix Hotel now stands, and also for a considerable distance beyond, so as to afford quite an extensive meadow, which was used also as a parade ground. Here Colonel CAMP trained his company of cavalry, sometimes three days in succession, with drills every day. Moses HARRIMAN had a little distillery below James L. STONE's present residence, where an old barn of James McLELLAN's (sic) has recently been taken away to make room for a new house. Dr. Peter ROSE lived near where GREGG's furnace now is. He was an excellent physician; but probably from his unfortunate proximity to said distillery, he, too, obtained supplies from there in too large quantities. There was a small building standing on the site of the present dwelling recently occupied by John VAN DUYN, occupied by Merritt KING, and another where Albert STONE formerly lived. There was a road leading northward to where Deacon KING lived, and from there to the lake, as at present. Cayuga street vicinity was covered with trees; there was no road there. A small frame house was standing on the hill where what has been known as the Esquire GLAZIER place is situated. . . One half of that building was Colonel CAMP's first store. HENSHAW's family lived in the other half. There were some little clearings in the vicinity, but none of large extent. HINCKLEY lived where BLUE's Corners now are, and Mr. EASLING, grandfather to James and Henry EASLING, lived where the grandsons now do. There were no buildings from HINCKLEY's to BOND's, which latter was the place that has been known as the NOBLE Farm. "" John M.

GARDNER JAMES12 NOXON, b. 05 Nov 1865, Berkshire, Tioga Co., NY; d. Aft. 1899. Notes for GARDNER JAMES NOXON: Supposedly ran away from home. Family SAID they didn't know where he went, but information surfaced he was a teacher, had been in Pennsylvania for awhile. Letters now in possession of author corroborate he was in Pennsylvania, then a post card from when in St. Louis, stating he had plans to head for California. No records or information have been found---a search of the varying census records through 1930 fail to show him, he may have changed his name. His letters indicate a tendency to make friends with strangers, allow them to pay his exepenses for trips, entertainment. He was meeting up with one such gentleman during the trek to St Louis, and on to California. ******************************************************** 1880 United States Federal Census ********************************************** ii.

Notes for EFFIE EDITH NOXON: A tiny lady, with a lovely,but sad,face. According to her mother's journal, she was a school teacher, only friends with the often visiting "Mr B"--whose sisters also visited at length in the Noxon home. It did appear "Mr B" was more interested in pretty Effie than the other way around. She was a talented artist-I have some of her handpainted china, collectibles---she was an adept seamstress, making her own clothes, dresses for her much younger sister, May. She seemed to be active, out and about with, her friends, colleagues, and a caring daughter. sister. Her only granddaughters spent many summers, vacations with her in Binghamton, but I never heard anything about the relationship between Effie, her own daughters. I remember the house up on the hill--the wide porch that overlooked a large porotion of Binghamton. The yard was huge,dropped off sharply into a small ravine, where Effie (Gt.

He was, for a time, according to the journal of his mother in law, a teacher. He worked for the Syracuse Herald - later the Syracuse Herald Journal - necessitating the family live in Syracuse. On their return to Binghamton, Arthur worked for the old Binghamton Sun. That didn't work out well, he was, according to family lore, memory, considered "too liberal" and "socialist" in his views, writings, eventually moved to Staten Island, NY where he worked, wrote. He was courtly, a "perfect gentleman", a great admirer of the ladies. He wrote essays, poetry for all occasions, some of which have survived til now, as have numerous letters he wrote varying family members. They show him to have been mannerly, complimentary, concerned, quick to give praise, gentle advice. Even his admonishments were couched in kind words, always supportive. He obviously made excellent money--even during the 30s. It was his funds that supported/ helped support, his daughter, Margurite, her husband and daughters. He paid often for his other children, their families, also contributed greatly to the well being of his sisters, his nephew, Edward Graham. The house up on Ross Park Dr, referred to as "Airy acres" was purchased by him, put in the name of his wife,Effie. When Arthur retired, he was not allowed to come home. (the exact circumstances have not surfaced - there was no scandal--the journal of Bertha Haight Noxen clearly shows it was a marraige performed instantly due to her "death bed wish" which may have had some bearing once the children were out and on their own? (Bertha actually lived into her 90s--however!) so, it remains somewhat of a mystery/matter of speculation.. Having read his letters, known how much he did for all his beloved family, the great joy he took in being with, socializing among--them, I , personally wonder at the isolation in which he spent the end of his life. Arthur went to the Union Printers Home in Colorado Springs, where he died. His son, Bob, brought him home,and he is buried in Spring Forest Cemetery with the rest of the Breckinridges. **************************************************************************** Binghamton High School Class of 1884 Salutatorian – Henry A.

Supposedly did small historical tours. It is my understanding the house was part of a Historic District, whether that was local or Federal, I have no idea (sss/fss) I do remember my Mother going to visit there, in what I think was early 50s. While at Charlotte Valley Central School, Davenport, NY, my social Studies teacher was Donald Haight. Altho he admitted we were kin, knew who "Aunt May Haight" was, he would not share his family line, even when I was grown, married, a mother, and wrote him on a couple occasions. ******************************************************************** 1920 United States Federal Census ********************************************** 1930 United States Federal Census 12.
