Y., in 1889; married Sarah Winslow, August 9, 1829, born at Dartmouth, Mass., July 7, 1805. He was at Buffalo and witnessed the entry of Com. Perry's fleet into that port after the battle of Lake Erie, and he piloted a boatload of officers into the harbor. In 1815 he removed to Henrietta, then a part of Pittsford, teaching school in winter and working at farming in summer; before the opening of the Erie canal the farmers would send him to Montreal to sell their produce, returning on foot through an almost unbroken wilderness to his home in Henrietta. In 1820 he purchased fifty acres of land, the nucleus of his farm, where he died.
