William Wisner bought a tract of land on the south side of the main road where is the present village of Ripley. Josiah Farnsworth and Jonathan Parsons were the first purchasers of land on the north side of the road here, and others who came early were Perry Ellsworth, Asa Spear, William and Andrew Spear. Charles Forsythe, from Connecticut, settled on the McMahan tract in 1808. He established saw mills and made cider and cider brandy. He lived in the village until 1860, and built the first brick house there. In 1809, Basil Burgess, came from Maryland, bought lands which he sold to Robert Dickson from Cherry Valley, and Moses Adams from Duchess county. Mr. Burgess settled on land adjoining.

His nearest neighbor was a John Robinson, who lived across the Pennsylvania Line, in the town of North East. In 1806, a Mr. William Crosgrove, also a native of Ireland, came to Ripley and purchased a tract of land adjoining Mr. Cochrane' s an the West, and at the present time, a direct lineal descendent of the two early settlers awns and lives en a part of the original purchase.

She lived in the house around the age of 5 (that would be about 1963). My grandmother bought the place from Frank Thayer. My family found a large book in the house on its (the houses) history and there was information on the railroad in the book. Grandma donated it to Myers Memorial Library in Frewsburg, it might still be there. My mom tells me that access was under the house, and that it went under the road. (Grandma had to climb under there constantly to unthaw the pipes.) (I did get a little confused about her not being allowed into the passage. That was another story about the area behind the fireplace being hollow and how my mom and her siblings always tried to talk grandma into letting them go into it.) My mom also tells me that after they bought the house, Frank would show up and hang around the barn and the garage. Mom says he was a little "lost" after his wife passed and with old age and he didn't know he wasn't supposed to be there.
