“ A sadly neglected cemetery.”
Young’s History of Chautauqua says that Jonathan R. Reynolds bought
land
in lot 32 in Sherman, March 1823. The following year he built
a cabin for
himself and the family of his father. This probably is
Levi Reynolds.
On page 528 Young’s states that in 1817 Israel Palmer, a native of
Dutchess County emigrated to the town of Ripley and settled 3 miles
south of Quincy. He had a son Israel Jr. who is listed in the
1874
county directory. This must be Israel Sr. Israel Jr. had
a son
George W. who graduated from Albany Law School in 1857 and
made quite a name for himself in NYCity.
