GERRY, NY (Chautauqua Hill Road)
On Saturday morning May 2 at 10:00 a group
will search
for buried tombstones in the Old Chautauqua Hill Road Cemetery in the
Town
of Gerry. In case of rain the search will be postponed one week.
In 1813 the Holland Land Company made a survey from Mayville to Ischua
in Cattaraugus County, a distance of 60 miles. This road
leas
off present Route 60 about a mile south of Sinclairville at a corner
once
called Loves and the cemetery lies between Robbins and East roads on
the
north side just past an old farm house that in 1961 had kennels.
Perhaps
it still does. It is just inside the East Road.
The cemetery has a "wall" but it doesn’t look like a wall. It is
a six inch ledge of about three or four flat stones piled on one
another. We went past sveral times without seeing it in the
weeds. The lady in
the farmhouse said, "Well, don’t drive so fast." When we crept
along we spotted it. The blackberry bushes were shoulder high and
the place only passable because the bushes had been trampled
down. We turned over
one large stone which was under six inches of dirt and myrtle.
We need some able bodied men with crowbars to turn the stones
over. Bring your own sandwiches and thermos. Come and
participate or come and be a spectator, cheering us on.
From a bound volume of Cherry Creek News owned by the Fenton Society we
found this "Feb. 16, 1900 Ellington: Cyrus Andrus died Feb. 12
1900 at his home aged 85 yrs 8 mos." And in the Feb. 23 edition of
News: "Cyrus Andrews was born in Middletown, Rutland County, VT
12 July 1813. At the age of 18 (1831) he settled in the Town of
Gerry where he resided
over 29 years. He removed to Ellington in 1860 to the farm where
he
has since lived. In 1841 he married Lydia Ward who died in 1843.
He
married second 24 Sept. 1844 Clarissa Thorn who survives. Also
surviving
is one daughter Mrs. Lemira Andrus Baldwin and tow sons Hiram and
Adelbert."
He is buried on lot 142 in the Valley View Cemetery out of Ellington
with
Adelbert and Hiram and their families and Clarissa 1824-1914. We
suspect
Clarissa may be a daughter of John and Mahala Thorne buried in this old
cemetery.
We spent a day in Mayville with the 1850 census of Gerry with
interesting results. Cyrus Andrus was aged 37, born in
Vermont. His wife Clarissa
was 24, born in New York State. There was Lydia 8 and Almira aged
4.
Daughter Lydia’s age subtracts to make her birth 26 June 1843 so her
mother
Lydia Ward Andrus must have died in childbirth. Almira and Emma
would
be children of Clarissa. In the next house was Albert W. Andrus
aged
34 born Vermont with wife Permelia aged 30 and child Mary D. aged
5.
In this household was also Minn Whitmore aged 66 born Vermont.
Possibly
she was Permelia’s mother.
Mrs. Ingham would be glad to have people phone in names of anyone known
to be interred in this cemetery.
CHAUTAUQUA ROAD CEMETERY PROBE RESULTS
When we wrote about the
Chautauqua Road
Cemetery in the April 25th issue we had a flu bug and had been unable
to
go out and look over the site. We went the Sunday following the
article
and found many motorists viewing the scene. The area is very
different
than eight years ago. The road bed has been raised four feet,
according
to Mr. Sandy. A drainage ditch has been dug and a new embankment
of
boulders complete with steps contain the cemetery from the drainage
ditch.
We have been told that the proper name for this cemetery is Applegren
Corners. We worked on a woman’s lineage in the fall and her
father’s people were Applegren and came from Sweden not so many years
ago. Perhaps this is not the same family. Rhoda Throop died
in 1877 and there were two others around 1871 but nearly all died in
the forty and fifties. The original name probably was Chautauqua
Road Cemetery. The Centennial History of Chautauqua County,
Volume 2, page 583 has a very interesting account of this old road.
May 2, set for the probe, was a rainy day so the probe took place on
the following Saturday, May 9, which was a lovely sunny day. At
10:00 in the morning, thirteen of us met: Robert Sandy of
Sinclairville, H.V. Davis of Mayville, Vernon Nord of Willard
Extension, Jamestown, Russel Grilles, home on leave from Vietnam and
his wife Susan, who is the director at the Fenton Historical Center,
Ray Wefing and Robert Calimari from the Jamestown Boys Club with five
of their boys, Rich Clark, Dave Wordelmann, Bob Sisley, Chuck Volpe and
Mickey Lyons. Mr. Wefing reports that the boys want to go on
another probe and their enthusiastic account has other boys asking to
be included next time. Burton Lesser of Jamestown also came but
did
not take part in the probe.
In the article of April 25 we listed Squire Howe and a probable
grandson, Squire Howe Shaw. We turned the stone over and found
his brother, Joseph W. Shaw, son of Joseph and Juliette Shaw "killed in
front of Petersburg, VA"
30 July 1864 aged 19 years, 7 months, Co. B 112 Regt. NYSV. This
stone
had been bolted to a huge base. The bolt is still there.
The
base is about 36 inches square and slopes down a curve and levels
out about 5 feet, all one continuous stone and very thick.
We all were puzzled
over the extension. The headstone had a curved sculptured top and
bottom
which had broken off when the bottom split at the bolt.
From records of Ellicott Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution
we have found that Squire Howe called "the second" was the son of
Captain Squire Howe, a Revolutionary Soldier and wife Martha
Field. Mrs. Marion Snow of Falconer has a very interesting
account of the capture of Martha Field Howe and son Squire II by the
Indians. They were taken to Canada and suffered greatly before
being rescued. Squire II’s wife is not here. She was Mary
Townley born 6 May 1797 in Ludlowville, Town of Lansing, Rensselaer
County, NY, died 6 June1838 at Dryden, NY. They were married 2
Nov. 1815 (Howe Gen. Pp 89 & 168). Their son Squire III was
the father of the late Inez Howe Crosby of Falconer.
We discovered that Mahala Campbell’s death date was 1866 and not 1855
as listed in April. We probed for Hiram, her husband, but had no
luck. Near her were two footstones, SL and CR. We did not
find the headstones for them but have decided to return sometime and
try again.
Under ten inches of sod and soil we found stones for Eliphalet Case who
died 24 Dec. 1847 (the men read it 1850) aged 82-3-12 and his wife
Lavinia who died 4 Jan. 1849, aged 86-6-15, and we found Laura Case,
wife of H.D. Phillips, who died 9 Sept. 184(?)0. The bottom with
the age was missing. The Mayville Sentinel for 10 Feb. 1848 has
"Died in Ellington 24 Dec. Mr. Eliphalet Case aged 82" and the
Centennial History Vol. 2, p. 567 says, "He came from Pittsfield, MA in
1835 and settled on the old Chautauqua Road." His son, Salmon, is
buried in Valley View Cemetery out of Ellington. The Sentinel for
1 Feb. 1849 says, "In Ellington Jan. 4 Mrs. Lavinia Case, aged 86,
widow of the late Mr. Eliphalet Case." The Sentinel for 20 July
1848 lists "Married on July 7th by S. Morehouse Esq., Mr. Hiram
Phillips of Ellington to Miss May Hartwall." Could Hiram be H.D.
Phillips, husband of Laura Case?
We found one stone with the name Millard in raised letters in a
semi-circle but he rest of the stone was broken into several pieces and
utterly unreadable except for a 7. We have tacked to our dining
room door two tracings of names from two eroded stones - no
dates. As yet we are unable to decipher them. From past
experience we expect someday the name will suddenly shine forth.
BATES, Rensselaer J., son of James and Sally
Bates died 23 March 1859, age 31-5-4.
BATES, another top gone, aged 13-2-21.

June 1877 in the ? yr of her age.
THROOP, Anthea, wife of D. Throop, died 1 Nov. 1852, age 45-9-9.
THORNE, John died 10 Dec. 1862, age 77-5-10.
THORNE, Mahala, his wife, died 19 Feb. 1870, age 79-6-5.
Young’s History p. 255 says he was one of those from England in 1834.

B90 DERBY, Morris was born 25 Dec. 1817 at Montpelier, VT, died in Busti and was buried on lot 6 grave 3 of the village cemetery. There seem to be no dates for him. Doesn’t anyone know? He married (1) Miss Button by whom he had two children, one of whom, Charles, died in infancy. He married (2) her sister Evelina A. Button born 17 Aug. 1832 died 1 March 1869. She has a stone in the Busti Cemetery. Married (3) Polly (Tanner) Bohall widow of James Bohall by whom she had Hutlett (?), Fern who married John White of Busti, Frank and George. Would like to hear from descendants of these Bohalls.
B90 DERBY. Through Mrs. Florence Miller of Jamestown we received a great deal of material on the Derby family and on Luther POWERS, son of Rev. Simeon Powers of Harmony. From Mrs. Ethel Kranking of Magnolia we received material on Bohall. We thank these ladies and are compiling a short history on each family.
B91 PRATT-BUEL. Amanda Farrel Buel was the mother of Aurelia Buel wife of Anson Wyman Pratt, oldest son of Horace A. & Minerva (Wyman) Pratt.
B92 COWDEN. According to Clayburne Sampson’s records and to descendants, Emogene Cowden Brown was the daughter of Ephraim & Mary Ann (Hapgood) Cowden but Wallace H. Cowden of Warren says that the Hapgood Genealogy he owns says she was Mary Ann Wilson, daughter of Joel Wilson. If so, why is she in the Hapgood Genealogy? We wonder if he miswrote it. There was no Joel Wilson in Ellery but there was a Joel Hapgood who died in 1883 aged 81. His wife Susan Harrington lacks dates. Can anyone supply them?
B93 ROUNDS. From the Gregory records and cemetery headstones we find a Milo Rounds born 21 June 1828, died 24 Sept 1865, aged 37-8-3, a Civil War veteran, son of Reuben Rounds born 14 March 1796, died 25 May 1850 and wife Anna Gregory born 22 March 1804, died 14 Nov. 1887. All are buried in the little cemetery outside Lander and variously known as Pond Cemetery, State Line Cemetery, and correctly, Maple Grove Cemetery of Lander.
B93 ROUNDS. Mrs. Rose Rounds Thomas says that her father was Milo Rounds born Clearfield or Deerfield, PA in 1902 son of Joseph & Viola (Wilson) Rounds. Joseph lived in Youngsville, PA and at Rounds Corners near Lander and Milo thinks that when he was very young the family lived for a while in Busti. Joseph was the son of Milo & Asa Rounds who lived at Rounds Corners. His brothers were Horace, Warren and Wilbur. Question: Is this Milo the Milo who died 1865? We did not find Milo’s name in Presidents, Soldiers & Statesmen which lists the Civil War veterans of Warren Co., PA.
B93 ROUNDS, Milo. Mrs. Rose Rounds Thomas has connected the various Rounds we discussed last month and is compiling quite a Rounds record. But we have heard from another Rounds family. Jewel Rounds Lanphere took us to talk with her father Oran Rounds who was born in South Valley, Cattaraugus County, the son of Aaron Rounds and wife Rena Bentley who was the daughter of Arnold Bentley of the Town of Randolph. She died in the Pierce Run section of South Valley when Oran was three days old. Aaron had brothers Lane and Ted. There may have been others and possibly sisters. We want to learn more about this Rounds family. Perhaps Aaron was closely related to the first Milo Rounds.
B94 Jewel’s husband told us that our friend Mr. Smith of Fredonia had the Lanphere family records. Perhaps he has the records in it of Jonas Lanphere (Lampheare) of Busti and Hanover. Both Miss Marguerite Lee of Florida and Mrs. Lieb of Houston, Texans are looking for Jonas Lampheare records. His name is spelled differently in various records.
B96 HARMON. From the Volusia Cemetery: Luther Harmon died 29 May 1856 aged 86. No stone for a wife. Luther D. Harmon died 24 July 1860 in the 60th year of his age. Mrs. D. Harmon 1810-1893 (probably wife of Luther D.). Eliza Harmon on same Stone as Mrs. D. 1834-1888. Martin Harmon 1838-1916 and Marian his wife 1844-1886 and on the Tillinghast lot is Phebe S. Harmon, wife of Martin 1843-1923.
B96 FELLOWS. We sent her a photostat of p. 411 from the Town of Portland by H.C. Taylor 173 and some records of Revolutionary Soldiers who are probably ancestors.
B100 AMES. We had two letters on Edson Ames. He moved first to Little Valley and later to Ellicottsville where "He died early and Clementine died in old age." The daughter’s name was Laura. She married Robert Cross and lived "back East." She died in 1910. Her son lived in Springfield, MA and was president of a bank. Clementine died about 1920. Both she and Edson are buried in Little Valley.
B100 AMES. Last month we told you about Edson Ames being buried in Little Valley Cemetery. That must have been Edson Jr. We had a letter from a lady who attended Edson Ames funeral and the service at the cemetery and she states that it was held in Sinclairville and he was buried in the Evergreen Cemetery there. She had no dates for him or his wife. If anyone has them please contact us.
C4 POWERS Sent her p. 440 from Young’s History of Chautauqua County and tombstone dates from Panama Union Cemetery. Rev. Simeon Powers died 13 Nov. 1842 aged 73-8-12 and his wife Polly died May 1859. Her stone was sunken so we do not know her age. Fenton would like to hear from their descendants.
