Any info sure appreciated.

The webpage for the Town of Rensselaerville went online six months ago. It contained a map of the Town from the 1866 Beers atlas for Albany Co. and a list of property owners transcribed from the map. Since then additional maps of four hamlets in the town have been found, scanned and the names on them transcribed by Barbara Bolster-Barrett. This adds an additional 250 properties to what we already had. The property owners are listed on the Beers map as a surname plus initials for the first and middle names. Barbara's new work on this project is a major addition to what I already had online. Next, Janet Haseley combed the materials and resources of the Rensselaerville Historic Society to determine what many of the initials stood for on the new list. This is another major addition to this project. Her research notes are also online because they contain sources of the names and additional information like spouses, relatives and occupations which would not fit on the property owners list which I posted. After many months of work by the three of us, the project is finally complete. These changes went online today. I must say that it was a delight to work with Barb and Janet on this project. They are as hard working and dedicated to accurate work as one could possibly ask for. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Misc/MAP-RenVL-List.htm Cliff

KNAPP, who died a few years since at his home in Warsaw, N.Y., where he had spent the larger part of his entire life, having been born in this town August 20, 1813, was a descendant of sterling pioneer stock, his father, grandfather, and several other members of the KNAPP family having settled in this section of the county in the early part of this century. His grandfather, William KNAPP, was born in Canaan, Columbia County, N.Y., January 4, 1758, and died in Warsaw in 1817. He married Olive ROWLEY, who bore him ten children – Daniel; Olive; William; John R.; Mima; Sally; Esther; Orson S., Bethiah; and Harley. Daniel, the eldest child, was the first one to make his way to this part of the State. He had previously spent a short time in Orville, VT., coming from there to Warsaw in 1806, and bringing with him a part of his numerous family, he having been thrice married. He and two of his brothers, William and John R., were engaged in the War of 1812, the two former as officers. All of the children rounded out a full period of years; and Esther who married Abel TAYLOR of Attica, lived to the venerable age of ninety-four years. John R. KNAPP, the fourth child named above, was born in Canaan, N.Y., July 7, 1787, and removed from the place of his nativity to Rutland, VT., where he was united in wedlock to Melinda WILSON. In 1812 he joined his father and brothers in Warsaw, brining his family and goods with teams, often cutting a path through the woods. For thirty years he lived in Warsaw, then removed to Marion, Ohio, where the death of his wife occurred in 1848, when fifty-seven years old. She bore him six sons and three daughters, of whom the following are now living: William L., a retired wagon manufacturer in Howell, Mich.; and John R., Jr., who was a Lieutenant in the late Civil war, and has since held a position in the Second Auditor’s Office in Washington, D.C. On June 24, 1849, Mr. KNAPP was married to Lydia BRADFIELD; and of their union, one son was born, James B. KNAPP. The father died at his home in Marion, March 8, 1864; and his widow still occupies their Ohio home. Jacob W., son of John R. KNAPP, was educated in Warsaw, and in early life learned the blacksmith’s trade, which he followed for some years, but afterward established a grocery business in the town of Warsaw, and from 1852 until 1861 was the village Postmaster. During the recent civil conflict his valuable services as a brave commanding officer won him his title of Major. Through his efforts Company D, of the famous First New York Dragoons, was recruited, in September, 1862; and he was elected Captain of the company, serving as such until January, 1865, when for his brave conduct he was promoted to the rank of Major, being subsequently in command of the regiment more than half of the time. In December 1853, while still a captain, he led the regiment into battle, and won distinction as a commander; and his intrepid charge at Culpeper, VA., is noted in the war records. Three of the sons of Major KNAPP – Augustus, Lucien, and Thomas, all now deceased � 3 were members of his regiment. In 1837 Major KNAPP was united in marriage to Miss Elvira PUTNAM, of Warsaw, a daughter of Edward and Rachel (HUTTON) PUTNAM; and their happy wedded life extended over a period of fifty-one years. Three daughters and four sons were born of their union, of whom the following are not living: Augustus, Lucien, Thomas, John R., and Margaret. The surviving are: Miss Caroline KNAPP; and Harriet, the widow of Orson C. KNAPP, who died April 15, 1877, leaving three children – Clarence Wilson, Frederic H., and Edward M., the first of whom is engaged in the laundry business, while the other two sons are students at Hobart college, in Geneva. The sisters occupy the family home on Geneseo Street. Orson D. KNAPP was also a soldier in the late Rebellion, having enlisted as a private in the thirty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and being afterward promoted through the various grades to the rank of Captain, having command of Company I. He was formerly Indian Agent at Fort Klam! ath, Fla., and after the close of the war was a soldier in the regular army until the fall of 1870, when he resigned; and in the following December his nuptials with the daughter of Major KNAPP were celebrated. In politics the Major was always a stanch Democrat, and for more than forty years was a Justice of the peace. He and his family were communicants of the Episcopal church.

BRISTOL, dealer in general merchandise at Gainesville, was born in that town, December 2, 1835. His grandfather, William BRISTOL, whose parents came to this State from Connecticut, was born in Canaan, Columbia County. In 1805, while in the employ of the Holland Purchase Company, he located about fifteen hundred acres of land, and built a log house near the site now occupied by the store of his grandson. As the settlement grew, he presented the town with the land for cemetery, churches, and school-house sites. He was the first Supervisor, one of the first School Commissioners, and in 1823 the representative of his district in the State Assembly, being a very prominent leader in his day. His wife, who before her marriage was Martha STEVENS, became the mother of a large family, of whom but two are now living – Benjamin F.; and William, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Benjamin F. BRISTOL, father of Joel W., was born June 11, 1811. His present residence, overlooking the beautiful valley of Gainesville, stands out with pleasant prominence against the rolling background of green and fertile farm lands. From the piazza he can look upon the house where his grandfather lived and died; while just beyond is the home of his childhood where lived his father for more than half of a century. From pioneer stock of Puritan composition and characteristics he has by a vigorous, busy, and most honorable life fulfilled the promise of his inheritance. Well equipped with undoubted patriotism and sound educational requirements, he entered the political arena, being an earnest advocate of the principles of the Republican party. He early took a warm interest in local government, and his town and county have honored him and shown their appreciation of his worth by choosing him to many offices of trust and importance, among them the following: Supervisor, Constable, Highway Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner; and although a Whig in a Democratic town, he was the first no-license candidate ever elected Justice of the Peace, which office he held for twenty-four years. He was also Supervisor of the Poor for the County of Wyoming twenty-eight years, his sensible views and sound judgment giving the most satisfactory results to both the people and the dependents. While attending a State convention, he introduced the resolution for the removal of children from county houses throughout the State, which was met with approval. He still resides on the old farm in Gainesville, now at the advanced age of eighty-four years, a well-preserved and active-brained old gentleman; and around him, or near by, live his ! sons and grandchildren, all of whom do him honor. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. BRISTOL are both members of the Congregational church, and for many years have taken a very prominent part in promoting its prosperity and usefulness. He married Margaret A. DAVIS, daughter of Joel DAVIS, a native of Preble, Onondaga County, N.Y. None in the community are more respected than “Uncle Ben” – as he is familiarly called – and his estimable wife. To Benjamin F. BRISTOL and his wife were born six children – Joel W., James, a prominent citizen of the town; Corydon D., deceased; Theodore, deceased; Martin F., at present residing at Rochester; and Benjamin F., Jr., who remains with the aged couple on the old homestead. Joel W. BRISTOL received his education in the district and select schools of Gainesville, and at an early age began the mercantile business by entering the store of A. B. WEBSTER at Warsaw, where he remained two years. He then engaged with Mr. BROWNELL at East Gainesville, with whom he remained two years more, and in 1859 went to Minnesota. Upon his return East, he commenced business on his own account, moving in 1866 into the store which he now occupies. In 1888 he took in partnership Fred M., his eldest son, a bright and capable young man. They have a very large and prosperous business; and the firm of J.W. BRISTOL & Son stands as one of the most reliable in the county. Mr. BRISTOL, like his father, is a Republican in politics. He was for eighteen years Postmaster, having been appointed by Montgomery BLAIR, First Assistant Postmaster General under Lincoln’s administration, and continuing in the office until 1882. He was Town Clerk for several years, was elec! ted Supervisor in 1894 for two years, and has for fifteen years been Notary Public. He has been a member of the Republican County Committee several years, and is also one of the Congressional Committee for the Thirty-first District. He is Secretary and chairman of the Gainesville Salt Company; has been Secretary and Trustee of Maple Grove Cemetery since its incorporation, and has always been a most earnest worker for everything which had for its object the general advancement of his town, the interests of education, and the aid of his fellow-men. Mr. BRISTOL was for many years a School Trustee, and while in office, was mainly instrumental in having the school changed to a union school. He was also chairman of the Executive Committee which secured Regents’ supervision for the school; the State Board of Regents later conferring upon him the honor of being Regents’ Examiner for the school. On May 11, 1864, Mr. BRISTOL was united in marriage to Mary E. MERRILL, daughter of Cyrus MERRILL, a merchant of Perry. They then moved into the house which they now occupy, having improved and beautified their home as time has blessed them with prosperity. Of this union four children were born – Fred M., in business with his father; Clara A., a graduate of the Geneseo Normal School, and now teaching in the high school at Warsaw; Cyrus W., who is in the boot and shoe business at Gainesville; and Mary E., the youngest, who is yet in school. Mr. BRISTOL has a family of which he is and may well be proud, and is a worthy descendant of an old and honorable ancestry.

Mr. WARNER’s grandfather, William, came from Canaan, N.Y., to this section of the country in company with his brother, Asahel, in 1794. They first located a claim, and in the fall of that year went back and were married in the winter of 1794-95. In the spring they and their wives, joined by two other brothers, migrated with ox teams, crossing Cayuga Lake on the ice in the month of March, a dangerous undertaking at that season of the year. Daniel and William WARNER settled first in Richmond, Ontario County, where they remained from 1793 to 1811, when they came to Lima, then known as Charleston, William brining seven children. They traveled by marked trees, as there was then only one road – the old road from Albany to Buffalo – in this section. The four brothers WARNER built log houses, and, in clearing the land, burned many acres of fine, heavy timber. Indians were numerous and to a certain extent troublesome. The WARNERS raised flax and wool, and made all their own clothing. Seed potatoes were brought with them for future crops. Later on William WARENER was Captain of the militia at Lima. He wife was Lois BRISTOL, belonging to another pioneer family. Grandfather WARNER was one of fourteen children, and with seven of his brothers served in the Revolution. He and his wife reared a family of nine, as follows: Henry WARNER, born October 9, 1797, died April 26, 1877; Polly WARNER born December 24, 1798, died in September 1873; Miles B. WARNER, born July 31, 1800, died May 20, 1877. Amelia WARNER and Amanda WARNER, twins, were born March 26, 1803; Amelia died March 1, 1823, and Amanda on January 4, 1865. William WARNER, born August 10, 1807, died February 4, 1850. Albert, born November 13, 1809, is still l! iving. Abel, born January 29, 1812, died January 15, 1832. Lois N., born September 14, 1813, died December 23, 1831. Miles Bristol WARNER, their third child, father of the subject of the present sketch, was educated at the district schools of Richmond and Lima, and was a singing-teacher nearly all his early life. He carried on the farm purchased in 1811, and lived in Lima all the remainder of his days, dying at the age of seventy-seven, at the home of his son Hiram in the village of Lima. His wife was Jane R. CLARK, the daughter of Thomas CLARK, of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Said Thomas CLARK emigrated from Drumore township, Lancaster County, to Ontario County, New York, in 1799, and as he wrote in his Bible, “No road out, no road in.” Their son, Hiram Bostwick WARNER, with the exception of a sister who lived to the age of sixteen, was the only child. Hiram was educated at the district schools of Lima, and later attended the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in that town working at the homestead farm until late in life. He removed to the village of Lima in 1876, but continued to carry on the farm until 1879, when he sold out and retired from active life. April 27, 1854, he married Harriet HORNER, daughter of Hugh and Sarah E. (HUMPHREY) HORNER, of Northampton County, Pennsylvania,. Mr. and Mrs. WARNER have never had children of their own; but their affectionate natures have prompted them to adopt two, who are grown up, married, and are now living in comfortable homes of their own. The WARNERs are much respected members of the Lima Presbyterian church. Mr. WARNER has been a Republican in politics since 1864, casting his first Presidential vote for General Taylor, the Whig candidate, in 1838, the year the Mex! ican War closed. “Oh, blest retirement, friend to life’s decline How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these, A youth of labor with an age of ease!” So writes that graceful poet, Oliver Goldsmith, and his lines are illustrated by such a career as those herein chronicled.

He had visited this section in the fall of the previous year, and bought one hundred acres of land in the town of Avon, which then consisted of only one uncompleted house, sixteen by eighteen. This he finished, and making it comfortable, commenced his career as an independent farmer. He soon built another house and frame barn, and otherwise improved the property, residing there until 1852, when he sold that farm and purchased the place on which he now resides. Here he erected a number of buildings; with modern improvements, which rank among the best in the town. The farm consists of one hundred and twenty-five acres, which he has managed very successfully.

Y., is a hale and hearty man of more than threescore and ten, as vigorous in intellect as if in the prime of life. His birth occurred in Gainesville, May 7, 1821. He comes of Revolutionary stock, his grandfather, Benjamin BRISTOL, having served in the war for American independence. Prior to that time he had married Abigail WARNER, of Canaan, Columbia County; and of this union the following children were born: William, Richard, Charles, Josiah, Henry, George, Hannah, Chloe, and Rebecca. William BRISTOL, Sr., son of Benjamin, was born in the town of Canaan, August 19, 1775, and there lived until twenty years old. In 1806 he removed to the part of Genesee County that is now Wyoming County, and helped to survey the present town of Gainesville. He located sixteen hundred acres of land, and cleared and improved a good homestead from the wild domain on which he felled the first tree. On February 22, 1807, he was wedded to Martha STEVENS, who was born in Worcester, Mass., September 1, 1785, but who subsequently removed with her parents to Lima, N. Y. Six children came to gladden their home, namely: Francis S., who died in 1845; Benjamin F., now living at the age of eighty-four; Mary, who married John M. LAWRENCE, and died in 1876; Lamira, who married George HARRINGTON, and died in 1848; Laura, who married Corydon DOOLITTLE, and died in 1851; and William BRISTOL, Jr., the subject of the present sketch, whose career, has been closely outlined by the pen of a lo! cal journalist in words that follow, copied for the County History: -- “With a common-school education he began life for himself at the old family home in Gainesville; and to his business as a farmer he added that of wool buying, which he followed for over twenty years. A man of quick feeling, of fine address, of business ability and integrity and great energy, Mr. BRISTOL early became a man of mark in his town and county. As a business man large interests have been at different times committed to him. He has hardly been what would be called a politician, though a man with his characteristics could not be left out of public affairs during the stormy period in which he has lived. He was born and bred a Democrat; but, becoming dissatisfied with the position his party assumed in regard to certain moral questions, particularly slavery, he abandoned hit, and became one of the founders of the Republican party, being a delegate to the historical “Anti-Nebraska” Convention held at Saratoga in 1854 and one of the five repres! entatives from this part of the State to the famous “Barnburner” Convention at Syracuse in 1856, which indorsed Fremont. He was Supervisor of his town in 1855 and again four years during the war, was Under Sheriff of the county in 1842, was Presidential elector and secretary of the electoral colleges in 1864, and member of Assembly in 1867 and 1868. He contributed materially to establish and sustain Gainesville Female Seminary. As a member of the committee appointed by Governor Morgan to promote enlistments in the Thirtieth Senatorial District, Mr. BRISTOL did efficient service. His patriot course, he careful zeal, and his expenditure of time and money in those years made him a central figure in the local history of the county during the war period. A considerable portion of his large income was devoted to this work; and by and through his efforts, sustained by the loyal sentiment of his townsmen, Gainesville filled every quota promptly, and came of the ! war without a debt. A Director of the Rochester & State Line Railway Company (now Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh) from its organization, no one had a larger share in the responsibility of its location and construction than Mr. BRISTOL. He was one of the first directors of the Warsaw Salt Company the pioneer company of the great salt industry in the town. He moved to Warsaw in 1867.” Mr. BRISTOL has been twice married, his first wife having been Adelia M. LOCKWOOD, whose mother, Clara (HOAG) LOCKWOOD, belonged to a family quite prominent in religious circles, many of its members being ministers of the Methodist denomination. The maiden name of his second wife was Martha J. JEWETT. She is a native of Ontario County, being a daughter of Major S. S. and Jemima ROSS JEWETT and a niece of Freeborn G. JEWETT, a well-known resident of Skaneateles, one of the first judges of the Court of Appeals under the elective judiciary. Mr. BRISTOL has reared six children – Laura B., Belle B., Caroline B., William, Millie J., and Henry R. Laura B. married Major John P. ROBINSON, who served through the late Civil War, and was brevetted Colonel. He was County Clerk until the time of his decease, in the spring of 1873. Mrs. ROBINSON, who still resides in this town, is a cultured woman, and a writer of much ability, being a regular contributor to four papers. The! second daughter, Belle B., the wife of M. A. KURTZ, a prominent business man of Nampa, Idaho, removed there in 1888. Caroline B. is the wife of Nathan S. BEARDSLEE, who lives in Warsaw, is President of the Empire Duiz Salt Company and President of the village. William, of Warsaw, has been in the employ of the Erie Railway Company for some years. Millie J. is pursuing the study of vocal music at Rochester. Henry R., a graduate of Rutgers college, read law with M. E. & E. M. BARTLETT, of Warsaw, and was admitted to practice in all courts of record in the State.
