The area around the intersection of Honness Lane and Snyder Hill Rd.,
at Pine Tree Road, Ithaca New York was Pewtown.
|
In 1996, a New York State Historical marker was placed on Snyder Hill Road a short distance from its intersection with Pine Tree Road. That marker says “WM. & HANNAH PEW in 1801 settled 600 acres that today comprise Eastern Heights & vicinity. The Pine Tree/Snyder Hill Rd. corner was once known as Pewtown.”
The name, Pewtown, came from William Pew (3), (the designation used in this document), one man in a caravan of pioneers who came from New Jersey in 1801, and who first began to farm and develop that area. There is some evidence that the area encompassed by Pewtown may have actually been slightly larger than the single intersection of Pine Tree and Snyder Hill Roads. The original tavern purchased by William Pew (3) and his wife, Hannah, was located on Ellis Road (now Ellis Hollow Road). The farm that was purchased with the tavern was actually 450 acres which stretched from Cascadilla Creek to the Catskill Turnpike (now Slaterville Road). This area of the farm included much of what is now Honness Lane and encompassed the area of the current East Lawn Cemetery, which was originally named Pewtown Grave Yard. Data on the Pew family that settled and developed this area is presented herein.
The earliest information we have of the PEW Family, from whom we are descended, is from a genealogical history found in the Joint Free Library of Morristown and Morris Township, New Jersey. This genealogical history is based on a book entitled Early Germans of New Jersey, by T.F. Chambers which gives a brief account of the early settlers of Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex, & Warren Counties and includes data from the Calender of Wills found in other New Jersey colonial documents. Data collected by several families, that are descended from the Pew’s, has also been included.
1. WILLIAM PEW (1) of Lebanon, Hunterdon County NJ b. 1707, d. Sep. 1773 Roxbury Township, Morris Co., NJ, m. Abigail ___?___, about 1726, d. after Sep. 24, 1773. Children: i. Samuel Pew ii. Thomas Pew iii. Mary Pew iv. Hannah Pew v. Abigail Pew 2. vi. William Pew J
vii. Dan Pew was a prominent spy in Washington’s army in the retreat across New Jersey. On one occasion, Dan was taken prisoner by Indian allies of the English and was about to be burned by them. However, a British officer who was a Mason, learning that the spy was also a Mason, succeded through strategy to give Dan an opportunity to escape. Dan took the opportunity by swimming across a river and under cakes of ice. No vital data for Dan has been found.
WILLIAM PEW (1) was one of the earliest settlers in the vicinity of Schooley’s Mountain but his was the first purchase of land there by an actual settler. He bought, on Mar. 1, 1733 from Thomas Schooley, 136 acres between Pleasant Grove and Stephensburg, Washington Township, Morris Co., NJ. This area was settled largely by Germans. Why he settled among the Germans is not known as all traditions of William’s family claims that the Pew’s were of English descent from people of wealth. Early records of the people arriving in America, bearing the name Pew, show that they came from England.
The land originally purchased from Thomas Schooley by William Pew (1) was conveyed to his two grandsons Wm. and Joseph Pew on Dec. 13, 1770. Joseph Pew subsequently on March 7, 1776, did quitclaim said land to Wm. Pew. (Wm. Pew in the above description is William Pew (3) in this document.)
The will of Willaim Pew (1) dated Roxbury Sep. 7, 1773 and probated Sep. 24, 1773 listed his heirs as wife, Abigail, sons Samuel & Thomas, daughters Mary, Hannah, & Abigail and Grandson William Pew (we know that William Jr. had died prior to his father’s will but Dan was not mentioned for unknown reasons).
The following is the abstract of the will of William Pew (1) from the Calendar of Wills in the New Jersey Archives, First Series, Vol. XXXIV: 1773, Sept. 7. Pew, William, of Roxbury Township, Morris Co.; will of. Wife, Abigail Pew, 1/3 of my personal estate, and at her death, to my 3 daughters. Grandson, William Pew, 10 shillings.

3. WILLIAM PEW (3) b. Mar. 19, 1751/52, Town of Washington, Morris Co., NJ, d. May 29, 1818 at Pewtown, Ithaca, NY, buried: East Lawn Cemetery, Ithaca, NY. m.1778, Hannah LACY/Lacey/Leacy, b. 1739, d.

Elizabeth Pew
WILLIAM PEW (3) was born near Schooley's Mountain, Washington Township, Morris County, March 29, 1752. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War from Morris County, NJ. He married Hannah Lacy and had five sons and a daughter Elizabeth. The sons names were John, William, Joseph, Benjamin and Richard, all of whom served in the war of 1812. In October of 1801 he left New Jersey with his entire family to visit his uncles in Canada, probably with the intention of locating there. His wife, Hannah, said she would not undertake the journey unless the entire family including son John with wife and son Bertine could accompany them. The family traveled in a sleigh. When about two miles east of Ithaca on the Ellis Road, they rested at a country tavern whose owner was most anxious to sell his house and land. The tavern owner tried to persuade William Pew, who had money, to buy his farm but the Pews decided to continue their journey to Canada. They had traveled some distance from Ithaca, apparently to the site of the current village of Ludlowville, when they were delayed while Anna, wife of John, gave birth to a their second child, Margaret. The news of this delay reached the owner of the farm and tavern near Ithaca and he followed after the Pews and finally persuaded them to return to Ithaca and purchase his land described in one account as lying between the Catskill Turnpike and Cascadilla Creek. Note: We have learned this Tavern was the Green Tree Inn on the Catskill Turnpike.
A parcel of land in Morris County, NJ was conveyed by William Pew and Hannah his wife, to Peter Sailor on October 8, 1801. (Morris County, NJ Deed Book F, p. 184-7) A smaller parcel of land adjacent, was conveyed by William and Hannah to one John Daniels, on June 13, 1801. (Morris County, NJ Deed Book D, p. 437-8) The family then left for New York, and after this sale, purchased the 450 acre farm in the Snyder Hill area east of Ithaca.
By Indenture dated 1 Jan. 1802, Benjamin Wallace deeded to William Pew all of lot 96, containing 600 acres, reserving 100 acres out of the SE corner and 50 acres out of the NW corner. Recorded in Onondaga County, Deed Book C, pages 330-3. Subsequently, by four Indentures in 1810-11, William Pew deeded the same 450 acres to: Joseph (son) - 50 acres, Wm. Jr. (son) - 50 acres [note that this is William Pew (4) in this document], Matthias Honnes (son-in-law) - 50 acres, John (son) - 300 acres as recorded in Seneca County Deed Book D, pages 436-40.
His headstone at East Lawn Cemetery reads: William Pew “First Pew Settler” d. May 29, 1818 ae 66 y 2 m 10d.
Hannah LACY was of Irish descent. When all five of her sons decided to enlist in the cause of their country (War of 1812), it caused great commotion in the family. Mother Hannah mourned that not one could remain and became tearful. Grand- daughter Lorenda, three years old, also took the situation to heart. She buried herself in the covers on one of the great high beds of those days, fell asleep, and it was hours before the frantic grandpa, grandma, and mother found her. Hannah’s headstone gives her age at death as 102 yrs.
4. JOHN LACY PEW b. Jul. 28, 1779 at Morris Co., NJ, d. Aug. 29, 1821 at Ithaca, NY, m. Anna COWELL (some records may use Covell as spelling of Anna’s maiden name) b. Aug. 18, 1780 Hackettstown, NJ, d. Aug 1, 1827. Both are buried at East Lawn Cemetery. See data from alternate sources on last pages. Children: 4a. Bertine (or Bertini) Pew 4b. Margaret Pew 4c. Elizabeth "Betsey" Pew 4d. Lorenda Densmore Pew (also found as Lorinda) 4e. Anna Pew 4f. William Pew (5)
JOHN LACY PEW was a soldier in the war of 1812 and lived in an old red house on a farm at Pewtown, Ithaca, NY. The land was then covered with forest so, for a few years, they planted their corn and potatoes on main street. He owned the land where the present East Lawn Cemetery is located. The "Tompkins County History of Methodism" indicates that he was a religious leader in this section, holding revival classes at Pewtown. His headstone reads: John Pew d. Aug 29, 1821 ae 42y 1m. Ida (Infant) Pew Lot owner John Pew d. Sept. 7, 1834.
Anna COWELL’s mother's name was Bauman or Bowman. A man named Lambert Bauman of German Valley, NJ (note that German Valley was later re-named Long Valley at the time of World War I), who was her cousin, visited her during her last illness. The will of Anna Pew dated July 31, 1827 - Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY mentions son William, daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, Anna, and Executor - Bertine Pew, her son. Witnesses were Reuben Judd, Benjamin Pew, William Pew all of Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY. Probate Sept. 1827, Lib. B pg. 22.
4a. Bertine Pew b. Aug. 13, 1799 at Morris Co., NJ, d. Oct. 16, 1885, (the death date of 1885 I believe is in error and the correct death date is 1855) He married Sep. 12, 1818 Elizabeth Parcell b. June 22, 1802 d. Apr. 27, 1887. He may have moved to Steuben Co., NY. See data from alternate sources on last pages. Children: ? A Bertine Pew with wife Elizabeth is found in 1850 Painted Post, Steuben Co., NY. Children: infant, Irene 1822, Adaline 1824, Franklin 1827, Theodore 1829, Infant 1831, Wilbur 1832, Mark 1834, Charlotte 1837, Augusta 1839, Albert 1843, twin infants, 1845, Edward 1846. By 1860 Elizabeth is living with her daughter Augusta Way, no Bertine Pew is in the home, making the death of Bertine in 1855 making sense. The Ithaca Journal has a Bertine Pew's death listed as Oct. 16, 1855, death taking place in Corning, NY. The children listed still need more research to prove.
4b. Margaret F Pew b. Nov. 17, 1801 Ludlowville, NY, d. Aug. 19, 1854, m. 1818 Elias S Ostrander b. Mar. 17, 1797 Tompkins Co., d. Oct. 27, 1879.

Lorenda Densmore Pew was named by a circuit rider named Densmore who happened along when she was born.
John E. Williams was one of the founders of the East Lawn Cemetery. Meeting with William Mitchell and John B. Lang in 1885, they laid out the present beautiful cemetery to replace the Pewtown burial plot that had fallen into decay. They named the section East Lawn. 4db. Charles Williams b. Aug. 3, 1833, m.

Many of the unknown Pew family members may be from his family. NO more information is known about him.

BENJAMIN PEW served in the War of 1812 with the rank of Colonel. He lived at the west edge of Snyder Hill overlooking Pewtown. Benjamin later moved to Ithaca, dying at his home at the northwest corner of Seneca Street and Stewart Avenue. His headstone says he was aged 98y 6m at death. He reportedly held the family records of his father and grandmother Purcell but they were lost. This is believed to be the reason that we can find so little about his father, William Pew (3) and his family, in New Jersey. His occupation was Farmer according to the 1860 Federal Census. Benjamin and his wife Nancy deeded land to the Trustees of the East Lawn School District, the conditions of which are documented by a bond from Justus S. Mitchell to Benjamin Pew as follows:
Whereas Benjamin Pew and Nancy, his wife, have by deed bearing date October 22nd , 1857, conveyed to me their reversionary intent in a certain piece of land deeded by them to the Trustees of School District No. twenty in the Town of Ithaca - the said premises having been deeded to said trustees to be used for a School House or Meeting House and in case of its ceasing to be so used is to revert to the said grantors. Now then for the condition of this obligation is such that if the said premises known as the School Lot shall ever revert to the said Benjamin Pew, or cease to be used and occupied as and for a school house or Meeting House, that I will pay to the said Benjamin Pew or his Officers Administrators or Heirs at the rate of fifty-dollars an acre therefor. In witness whenof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 22nd day of October 1857. Signed sealed and delivered in the presence of W. V. Bruyn Signed: J. S. Mitchell
The1850 Ithaca Census, shows children of Benjamin: John age 22, Charles S. age 20, Marvin age 18, Henrietta age 16, Helen F. age 12, George N. age 10, Benjamin F. age 8. (Benjamin F. could be Benjamin Frank)

John J. Snyder had been married before to Elizabeth Rebecca Penrith. He moved to St. Peter Minn. where they lived until she died, then he returned to his old home in Tompkins Co., NY and married Helen. As per Snyder family records John and Helen had a son Frank. When her father made his will, she was listed as Helen Way, so she had not married John Snyder yet (at that time she would be 47 yrs. old), so it is doubtful that Helen and John are the parents of Frank. Frank Snyder was born abt 1870 per 1900 census in Nicolet, Minnesota, so he may have been a son of John, but not Helen. Believe he is John F. in the 1870 Nicolet, Minn., census. John had other children, but they died young. His first wife died after 1880.

where she became a successful teacher.
In 1867 she married to Mr. Rose and in 1885 the family removed to this
City. She is survived by her husband and an only daughter, Florence and a
brother, Alexander McEllwain. Mrs. Rose was a women of strong
character, possessed the gentleness and refinement, a model Christian women,
a devoted wife and mother and admired by a large circle of friends. The close of her life; her loss to the
home and social circles she adorned has left a void not easily filled. During her severe and painful illness
she displayed rare patience and heroism and calmly awaited the final summons
with an expression of deep peace upon her kindly face and passed away as one
who falls to sleep after a day of toil when night lets her sable curtains
down. The devoted husband and the
loving daughter are bowed in heavy grief but they alone are not all who mourn
the loss of a noble women. Other eyes are wet with tears at her
passing, while the sympathy of the entire community is with the bereaved
family. The funeral was held from
the house Wednesday afternoon.
Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, pastor of Park church, staunched the mourners’
tears and soothed their sorrow by comforting and sympathetic words. The casket was covered with a
profusion of flowers that warmed the usual iciness of death and masked it
____ pallor. The bearers were M.
M. Conklin, Robert Hall, E. F. Lawrence and H. H. Rockwell. The remains were taken to
Waverly for burial accompanied by Mr. Beecher and the pall bearers. The interment took place at the
Forrest Home Cemetery where brief services were delivered by the pastor. 9dba.

(In 1860 they were living in Caton, Steuben Co., NY, they had a George Honness living with them age 14.) By 1870 they are found living in Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY. Salmon was in Co. D. 141 NY Inf. Civil War. Raised his sister's granddaughter Jennie Williams) I believe this George Honness was the George W. Honness who died of Typhoid fever in his 21st year on May 26, 1866. It is unknown who his parents are, other than he was living with Salmon in 1860. (Also spelled Solomon and Salomon on many records. Headstone reads Salmon)
Alexander Honness 1850 census age 23
East Lawn Cemetery Pew, Infant dau. of William & Hannah Pew d. Nov. 16, 1822, East Lawn Cemetery. It does not seem likely that this could be a dau. of William & Hannah since their last known child was born 1792. It seems more likely that this is Deceiser Pew, dau. of Benjamin & Nancy Mitchell Pew b. Nov. 16, 1822, d. Nov. 16, 1822 from Mitchell family records. (see Item 7d.)
Pew,
Mary (Osburn) d. Aug. 11, 1831 ae 20y 10m 13d (this may be the Mary Osborne/Osborn who
is said to have married Ira Pew as his 1st wife, a sister of his
wife Rosannah/Rosanna. They are believed to be daughters of
John Osborn. Not Found
Pew, William d. Apr. 23, 1904 ae 89y Not Found
Pew members unsure where they fit in; Reuben Pew married in Ithaca March 1, 1827 Eliza Townley by Rev. Wisner Not Found
Record of a Reuben Pew born Aug. 1789 unknown who this is. Not Found
The 1850 Ithaca census shows Pew, William ae 36, Caroline ae 26, with Irene Pew ae 27, Dunning, Maria ae 64, Taherty, Bridget ae 18. This data was once thought to be connected to Item 4f. Do not know where this family fits in. This William would have been born about 1814, so it could be William Pew (5) but the other names listed in the census with him make that seem unlikely, based on what little we know.
William Pew married July 24, 1831 Asha E. Tennant by Elder Sears Not Found
Ira Pew who married Rosana Osborne and had sons Henry A & Lee Have
not found who Ira Pew was the son of. See Note immediately after
Item 8bh. Update: Ira & Rosana moved to Minnesota. 1860 Ira and Rosanna Pew were living in Athens, Bradford Co., Pa. Ira age 48, Rosanna 39, Henry 11, John 13, Mary 6, Phebe 2, George 1/12. Minnesota death records have Ira Madison Pew, born July 12, 1811 died Sept. 23, 1906, wife Rosanna Osborne, buried in High Forrest Cemetery, Olmsted Co., Minnesota. Frank must have been already out of the house by 1860, he was born abt. 1837. Other researchers state that Ira married 1st Mary S. Osborne who was born 1813 died in 1834. Rosannah as written on her tombstone born Jan. 14, 1821 died Jan. 29, 1896 and is also buried in High Forrest Cemetery, Olmsted Co., Minnesota. Also found notes on other researcher that stated the mother’s maiden name of Ira Pew was Brink.
Mrs. George Pew died Dec. 26, 1877 age 50 yrs. Not Found
Marriage record from Newspaper clipping; Samuel Pew married Dec. 26, 1839 Eliza Grant, daughter of Hosea Grant by Rev. Caleb Drake, Esq. If this is Samuel R. Pew and Eliza W. his wife, this marriage date must be in error, or her date of birth records stating she was born 1835 or 1833 could be in error. I believe that this marriage date is in error, see Item 7a.
Obit Clipping Benjamin F. Pew of Ithaca, NY married 1833 in Cleveland Ohio, Catharine Jordan of Cleveland Ohio, Ithaca Journal + General Advertiser 12 Sep.1833 pg 3. No connection found
Data From Alternate Sources Cases where data from alternate sources is different from data presented and no judgement as to which data is correct seems possible at this time.
Item 4. For John Lacy Pew, one source has b. June 28, 1779 while a 2nd document says b. July 28, 1779; data from the later source has been used. Also, one source has, for Anna Cowell, b. 1781 while a 2nd source says b. Aug. 18, 1780.
Item 4a. For Elizabeth Parcell, the original source has b. Jun. 22, 1802 while a 2nd source says b. Jun. 26, 1802; data from the original source has been used. Also, one source has Elizabeth d. 2 Feb. 1887 while other sources have d. Apr. 27, 1887.
Item 4b. For Margaret F Pew, a 2nd source has d. Aug. 10, 1854 while our original source has d. Aug 19, 1854. One source says Elias Ostrander was born in Ulster Co instead of Tompkins Co. Item 4e. For Anna Pew, one source has d. Aug. 1, 1827 aged 46y, 11m, 19d as recorded from headstone. This gives a calculated dob of Aug. 13, 1780. This cannot be possible because the first child of John Pew & Anna Cowell was Bertine b.1799 and the second was Margaret b. 1801. A 2nd source has Anna b. Aug 16, 1812 Ithaca, NY which makes good sense. Data from the 2nd source has been used. Either something is wrong with the data recorded from the headstone or that data has been assigned to the wrong Anna Pew. Item 6. For William Pew (4), a 1st source has b. Oct. 27, 1786, d. Jun. 1, 1832 ae 46y 3m 5d from headstone. This gives a calculated dob of Feb. 27, 1786. A 2nd source has b. Feb. 24, 1787, d. Jun. 1, 1832 ae 46y 8m 6d. This gives a calculated dob of Sep. 26, 1785. A 3rd source has b. Jul. 24, 1787, d. Feb. 1, 1832. Since there is no clue as to which is correct, the data from the 1st source above has been used until some better estimate of what is correct can be made. A photo of the headstone shows that the age at death appears to have been changed from 64 yrs, 3 Mts. & 5 Days to 46 yrs. 3 Mts. & 5 Days.
Item 6e. For Mary Ann Pew, a 1st source has d. Nov. 30, 1887, a 2nd source has d. Nov. 18, 1887, a 3rd source has d. Nov. 29, 1897.
Item 6g. For Warren Uchlet Beham, another source has d. Jan. 3, 1879 instead of d. Jan. 3, 1899.
Item 7. For Benjamin Pew, one source says d. Apr. 28, 1891, a 2nd source says d. May 28, 1891, and a 3rd source says plus the headstone says d. Apr. 29, 1891. For Nancy Mitchell, her headstone says d. May 28, 1858, her obit says d. 1858, a 3rd source says d. 1860, and a 4th source says d. May 28, 1855.
Item 7c. For Electra Fox, wife of Sylvester Pew, her name is given in one source as Electra Jox dau. of William Jox.
Item 7f. For John M Pew, one source says b. 1826, a 2nd source says b.1828, and a 3rd source says b. 1827.
Item 7g. For Charles S Pew, one source says b. about 1830, a 2nd source says b. 1828.
Item 7h. For Marvin Pew, one source says b. 1830, a 2nd source says b. 1832. One source says that Martin Pew was b. 1830.
Item 7j. For Helen F Pew, one source says b. 1839, a 2nd source says b. 1838.
Item 7k. For Mary Ann Banfield, one source says b. Oct. 20, 1838 while a 2nd source says b. 1841.
Item 7kab. For Emery G Pew, the Banfield dtat says that Emery d. Sep. 26, 1964 which appears to be in error. The date of death and age at death from the headstone gives a calculated year of birth as 1897. Social S. death index give date of death as Sept. 1969., and birth year as Aug. 18, 1897.
Item 7l. For Franklin Pew, this person is listed in one source as Benjamin F Pew or Benjamin Frank Pew. One other source has name Benjamin J Pew b. 1842.
Item 7ka. For the 2nd marriage of Benjamin W Pew, s/o George N Pew & Mary Ann Banfield to Florence A. Pickett, daughter of James M. & Lois (Teal) Vann, one source has m2. Sep. 26, 1912 while a 2nd source has m2. Sep. 12, 1912.
Item 8. For Richard Pew, a 2nd source says b. Apr. 27, 1790 while the original source says b. Apr. 19, 1791.
Item 8a. For James M Pew, a 2nd source indicates b. Jul. 17, 1811 while the original source indicates b. Jul. 2, 1811.
Item 8b. For Mary Pew, one source says b. 1817 while a 2nd source says b. 1816. Mary Pew married Jesse Whitlock but one source says m. Feb. 6, 1834 while a 2nd source says m. at Ithaca, NY Feb. 26, 1834 by Rev. Campbell.
Item 8h. For Hannah Jane Pew, one source says d. May 16, 1840 while a 2nd. source says d. May 10, 1840.
