NEW HAVEN.
         THIS town was formed from Mexico as part of Oneida county, April 2, 1813, being the ninth in age of the towns of Oswego County.  The town as first formed corresponded exactly to the old survey-township of Vera Cruz, the nineteenth township of Scriba's patent.  This, in addition to the present town of New Haven, had a tract half a mile wide  running along the lake-shore through to Richland. The reason for this curious
      arrangement on the part of Mr. Scriba is not positively known, but was doubtless due to a desire to dispose of Mexico, while retaining the harbor at the mouth of Salmon creek, where he meant to build the city of Vera Cruz.   In May, 1836, the strip in question, comprising five lots, was annexed to Mexico, since which time New Haven has remained at its present size.

         The town borders on the lake, and in area is the smallest in the county, being five miles cast and west, by five and three-fourths north and south.   The surface is rolling, but generally smooth and well improved, there being only about twenty-five acres of non-resident land.

                                                                EARLY SETTLERS.
           The first permanent settler of the town was Solomon Smith, who located on lot 47, and built the first log house in town, near where David Russell now resides.   He also put up, in 1812, the first frame building, which is Mr. Russell's house, or a part of it. Soon after the house was inclosed a dance was held in it, called a " house-warming," when a grand time was had, Colonel Sherman Hosmer, now ninety years old, living in Mexico,  -being one of the party.   Mr. Smith died in the town of which he was the first resident, November 28, 1824, aged seventy-five.   He had several sons, one of whom, John 11., was killed at the raising of Orris Hart's ashery, just east of the village, in October, 1823.
           This ashery was a framed one; another had been built of logs some time before. 
      Another son of Mr. Smith was Jesse, who lived a long time in town, and died but a few years since, over eighty years of age.  The next settlers after Mr. Smith were Gardner Wyman and Eleuzer Snow, who came from Eaton, Madison county, in 1804.  __________________________________________________________________________________
 

           Sometime after 1860, James and Rhoda moved to the Town of Parish near to the farm owned by William McCollum.  Their children married.  A map in 1889 shows the location of the McCollum farm (by then owned by son in law Hosea Pickens) and the nearby farm of Cynthia's brother, Charles Husted.

            James R. Smith left a will dated October 26, 1889, less than two months before his death.  He appointed E D Edick as executor/trustee with the direction to sell his property, both real and personal, and to pay all the proceeds, after debts and expenses, to his son, George W.Smith.
      No  provision was made for any of his other children, who were listed in the petition for probate with their addresses. 
           The personal estate was inventoried with a total value of $113.93 and included such items as cash in his pocketbook of 2.02; augar and chisels 1.15; old harness 2.00; fork & crowbar 7.15; one mare 58.00;
      old bugey 8.00; and sleigh 10.50.  The farm was not mentioned nor was any other real estate.
           The PULASKI DEMOCRAT, Vol 40, No. 17, Dec 19, 1889 reported his death as follows:
            "James R. Smith of this town was found dead in an outhouse on his premises last Friday moring.  That morning he was well as usual and ate a hearty breakfast.  He went out to take care of his horse ....  Coroner Babcock was summoned and empaneled a jury.  Doctors Harter and Todd held a post mortem and found he had died of (a heart attack) and the jury brought in a verdict accordingly.  He was 81 years of age and the father of Alfred Smith (goes on to mention his life sentence without mention of any of his other children).
            There was no death certificate filed for James, apparently an oversight after the coroner's proceeding.  This was unfortunate as it should have given the names of his parents.
     Children:

  + 2. i     Emily E. born 1838.
  + 3. ii    Charles M. born Aug  8 1839.
   4.   iii     Alfred R. SMITH born abt 1842, prob Mexico, Oswego Co NY, occupation Carpenter, married Dec  7 1865, in Twn of Mexico, Oswego County NY,  Other: at The Texas Hotel by Edwin Midlam Esq., Althadine E. FISK, born abt    1851, Oswego County NY, (daughter of Wesley FISK and Elizabeth ______) died Jan 31 1886, Cuyahoga County, OH.  Alfred died Apr 30 1898, Ohio Penitentiary, OH,  Served life at Ohio State Prison. 

  OHIO PENITENTIARY REGISTER OF PRISONERS AND INDEX, Vol 14, Dec 1886 -Feb 1889 (from Archives & Library Division, Ohio Historical Society, Columbus OH).
   Entries from the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County show that Alfred was charged and tried before a jury of 12 men for Murder first degree, but the jury acquitted him of first degree and found him guilty of second degree.
   Although the jury panel was called and the trial date was set on Jan 3rd, it was not until Jan 22nd that the court found that Alfred had no lawyer, "nor means or ability to procure counsel."  Two lawyers were appointed and the jury selection for murder 1st began 5 days later.  His appointed counsel  exhausted the 1st jury panel in the process of selection. The trial ran from Feb 4 to 17, 1887.
   He was sentenced on March 29th, 1887, "at hard labor for and during the remainder of his natural life, and that he pay the costs of this prosecution. It is no part of this sentence that (he) be kept for any period of time in solitary confinement . . "
      Research inquiries have failed to identify the victim of his crime nor any other details.  However, Cuyahoga Coroner files show that an Althadine Smith, age 36, died 1-31-1886, and was murdered.  The fact that Alfred was admitted to prison as a widower leads one to speculate that Althadine may have been his wife whom he killed.  Requests for further information have not yielded the answer, but review of earlier research did.  The Town Historian for Mexico, Os Co, sent a letter dated Oct 1995 in which she wrote: "From E. Simpson's Fact File Cards, Smith, Alfred R. married Aethadine Fish, on Dec 7 1865."  Based on this, it is most reasonable to conclude that Aethadine was the wife of our Alfred, and most likely the victim of the crime for which he was convicted in Ohio.  The census records give the spelling of her name as Althadine Fisk.
         The book, History of Oswego County, New York, p. 276, lists Alfred R. Smith as having served in the 184th Infantry, enlisting September 1864, and the 1865 Census schedule of military personnel lists him as being a private in the 12 th NY Regiment. Althadine: 
        Althadine is found in the typwritten index for the 1855 Town of Mexico Census.  Her parents are found with her sister, age 1, in the 1850 Census, living 5 households from Alfred R. Smith and his parents.  There is a W. Fisk shown in the Hamlet of Texas, not far from the same family.

 5.   iv     Laura A. SMITH also known as: Lyndia (Laivna M?) SMITH born 1845, Oswego County NY,   not listed in father's estate in 1889.  The marriage records of Edwin Midlam, Justice of Peace, Texas NY list a marriage of Laura Ann Smith at the Texas Hotel to Jay B Pe?? (possibly Pear) on November 26 1865, both of Mexico.  (hand written copy from Bonnie Shumway Mexico Town Historian).  A typewritten version states Jay B. Poorsons (?).

2. Emily E. SMITH (1.James1) born 1838, Twn of Mexico, Oswego County NY, married (1) Preston STACY, born abt 1835, Oneida County NY,  occupation Boatman, married (2) Perry F. MARSH, born 1841, occupation Coast Guard, died Feb 10 1922, Twn of Mexico, Oswego County NY,  buried: Mexico Village Cem, Mexico, Oswego Co NY.   Emily died Jan 31 1929, home, Arthur, Twn of Mexico, Os Co NY,  buried: Feb  2 1929, Evergreen Cem, Twn of Orwell, Os Co NY.   Emily's obituary recited that she was survived by several grandchildren and two stepsons, George Marsh of Mexico and Charles Marsh of Fayetteville.  She is apparently on two different headstones, one next to her son, and one next to her second husband in a different cemetery. Preston: given name of Preston established from the marriage record of his son James R. Stacy to Rachel M. Parmeter.  There is a Preston Stacy who died Nov 27, 1892, to be identified.  They lived next to his wife's parents in 1855 and on the other side of her parents lived a Clarissa Stacy b Oneida, age 52, with a daughter Adaline 16 born Oswego, and grandson Charles Stacy; very possibly Preston's mother as they are both listed a having lived 18 years in Oswego County. They lived in New Haven in 1865 (Census Index p. 13). Perry: Identity of ____ Marsh as a second husband is from the listing of step children in Emily's obituary. His given name is from his death record by telephone call to Mexico Town Clerk, where informant was Emily Marsh.

The dates fit with Lewis, son of Emily.  To be followed up on.
    15.  vi    Clara STACY married Henry GREENFIELD.  Clara  of Phoenix NY in 1929.  given name from "Card of Thanks" adjacent to mother's obituary

3. Charles M. SMITH (1.James1) born Aug  8 1839, Texas, Twn of Mexico, Oswego County NY,  occupation Farmer/Carpenter, married Oct 14 1865, in Pulaski, Oswego Co NY, Other: by Justice Wright of Pulaski, Mary E. ALDRICH, born Oct    1845, New Haven, Oswego Co NY,  (daughter of George ALDRICH and Julia ______) died Oct 20 1910, Texas, Twn of Mexico, Oswego County NY,  buried: Oct 22 1910, New Haven Cem, New Haven, Os Co NY.   Charles died Oct 22 1920,  buried: New Haven Cem, New Haven, Os Co NY,  in Demfster [sic], Oswego Co., NY 1889.
    Found among the effects of Flora MacCallum was a 2 1/2" by 4 1/2" piece of lined paper evidencing a loan of $50 by Chas M Smith to F E MacCallum MD which was cosigned by Mrs John Mac Callum and J Mac Callum.  Interest was paid and it was marked "Paid in full  C M Smith" on the back.  He was listed as from Dempster in his father's estate.
    The 1900 Census lists a Charles Smith, b Aug 1840, wife Mary E. born Oct 1845, married 34 years (1866), with Mary the mother of one child, still living.  His occupation was listed as a farmer and he owned his property free of mortgage.  Both they and their parents were born in NY. (US Census 1900, Twn of Mexico, Oswego Co NY [Heritage Quest CD Rom T623/1143/Part1/179A]).
     He served in the Civil War 1862-65 in the12th Calvary, was promoted to Corporal (History of Oswego; 1865 Census). _____________________________________________________________

    The National Archives and Record Administration files show that Charles M. Smith applied for and received a pension under "soldier's certificate No. 922811" (Can No 18986, Bundle No 34).   The title page of his papers lists his rank as Corpl with service in Co B  12 NY  Cav. The promotion to Corporal occurred on June 30, 1864.  His signatures on the various papers received from the NARA compare favorably with the signature on the note found among the papers from the MacCallum estate.
    The NARA file contains several items of information, including the fact that Charles, " while on duty at New Bernie, N.C. on or about Fall of 1865 __ 1865, __ was disabled by deafness of both ears."  He was treated at the Regimental Hospital.  His service was from enrollment on August 29, 1862, to his honorable discharge on July 1, 1865 by reason of close of the war.  The pension application was in 1895 when he listed three subsequent disabilities, being reumatism, kidney trouble, and disabled wrist.  At that time he lived in Demster.  Other papers included affidavits from others that attested to his infirmaties including the fact that his wrist was broken when he was doing carpentry work and fell off a ladder in January 1889.
    Charles' personal information was that he 5' 8" with dark eyes and dark complexion.  The family information included  a response to a questionaire in early 1915, listing his wife. maiden name not clear, but probably Mary E. Alderich, who was his only wife and who had died 4 years earlier, their marriage, and the single child, Frederick D. Smith of New Haven, Oswego Co NY.
 

    The military records from the NARA show his various pay vouchers, his enlistment form, and cancellation of a desertion charge lodged against him when he did not appear for his final discharge.  These records show his voluntary enlistment on August 21, 1862 at Oswego City NY, for a  period of three years.  He was transferred from Co A to Co B on May 20 1863 and was promoted to corporal on May 1, 1864.
    The continuing muster rolls for Co. B, 12 Reg't N. Y. Calvary, show him "present" through June 1865, well after the end of the Civil War. Charles M. Smith, as he was always designated on the records, "Appear(ed) on Returns as follows: May 1865 On extraordinary duty on courier lines."    Again, this was after the war ended.  The next record, "Muster-out Roll" for Charles M. Smith, from Raleigh NC July 19, 1865, under remarks, states as follows: "deserted at Halifax NC,  July 1 1865. Due US for one Sabre, Pistol & account ??? complete also carbine sling & swivel stolen Book mark: 3682 a (EB) 74."   Another record in the materials states "NOTATION, Book mark: 3682 - a -  1874, War Department AGO, Washington Dec 15, 1885. The charge of desertion of July 1, 1865 against this man is removed and he is discharged to date July 1, 1865 under the provisions of the act of Congress, approved July 5,1884. Discharge certificate furnished by War Department Dec 18, 1885. The notation of Jan. 31, 1884 is cancelled."
    After the end of the war that many soldiers were either told they could go home and did, or were discharged from a medical facility. In the case of Charles M. Smith, he was a special courier just before the muster out and perhaps he was simply not present for the final call. The NARA did not send any copy of an application that he might have submitted to change charge of desertion so the official basis for the removal is not known.  In any event, the supposed desertion was AFTER the war was OVER, and therefore not a desertion in the face of the enemy, and most likely it was an administrative problem that was later corrected. Certainly if there had been a serious problem, he never would have been awarded a pension in a later year. An actual desertion just before honorable discharge simply makes no sense what so ever, and at best was a shabby way to treat one who served honorably in such a horrible strife.
