HISTORY of DELAWARE COUNTY. by Jay Gould - 1856
CHAPTER V.
One of the most exposed of the frontier settlements during the campaign of 1779, was Minisink, an ancient settlement on the Delaware River. Count Pulaski had been stationed there with an armed force until the February preceding, when he had been ordered to South Carolina, thus leaving the settlement without any defence. Of this fact the Indians were aware, and accordingly Brant, on the 20th of July, made a descent upon it with a large body of Indians and tories.An interesting and valuable work, entitled the "Pioneers of the Delaware", has afforded us the following interesting account of the attack and massacre of this settlement, and the battle of the Delaware, fought two days afterward. - "This attack was begun before day-light, and so silently and stealthily did the crafty Mohawk chief approach his victims, that several families were cut off before an alarm was made. The first intimation which the community received that the savages were upon them was the discovery that several houses were in flames. Dismay and confusion seized upon those who had escaped the first onslaught. They were altogether unprepared to defend themselves. They were without leaders and scattered over a considerable area, although, it is to be presumed they were not altogether unarmed. The first movement many of them made was to flee to the woods with their wives and children, thus leaving the enemy to plunder them of their property, or destroy it, as they preferred.8 A few of the inhabitants gathered into the block- houses, which were not assaulted.
...
The belligerents soon engaged in deadly conflict; when, above the yelling and whooping of the savages, the hurrahs of the whites, and the report of fire-arms, Brant was heard - in a voice which was never forgotten by those who were present - commanding all who were on the opposite side of the river with the plunder, to return. They at once dashed into the Delaware, and soon fell upon the rear of the Americans, who were thus completely surrounded and hemmed in, except about one-third of their number, whom Brant in the early part of the engagement, had contrived to cut off from the main body. The enemy were several times greater in number than the Americans, who were ultimately driven in and confided to about an acre of ground."Being short of ammunition, Hathorn's orders, in imitation of those of Putnam, at Bunker's Hill, were strict, that no man should fire until very sure that his powder would not be lost. The battle commenced about eleven o'clock in the morning, and was maintained until the going down of the sun; both parties fighting after the Indian fashion - every man for himself - and the whole keeping up an irregular fire from behind rocks and trees, as best they could."10
The militia were completely cut off from water, and suffered greatly during the day from thirst. About sunset their ammunition gave out, and the survivors attempted to escape by breaking through the circle of bloodthirsty savages, but were many of them cut down.
"Doctor Tustin was engaged behind a cliff of rocks in dressing the wounded, when the retreat commenced. There were seventeen disabled men under his care at the moment, whose cries for protection and mercy were of the most moving description. The Indians fell upon them, however, and they all, together with the doctor, perished under the tomahawk. Among the slain were many of the first citizens of Goshen; and of the whole number that went forth only thirty returned to tell the melancholy story. Several of the fugitives were shot, while attempting to escape by swimming across the Delaware."
...
For forty-three years the bones of these victims of warfare were permitted to bleach upon the bleak hill-side where the battle took place. But one attempt had been made to gather and bury them - and that was made by the widows of the slain - of whom there were thirty-three in the Presbyterian congregation of Goshen. They set out for the battleground on horseback; but finding the intervening country too rough and broken for them to proceed, they hired a man to perform the pious duty, who proved unfaithful to the trust, and never returned. In 1820, the remains of these martyrs of freedom were gathered together and deposited in the burying-ground at Goshen, with appropriate ceremonies. A suitable monument was erected over them, and their names inscribed on it in the following manner; -

THE TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN
Electronic text by Shirley Becker, CA; Ray LaFever, NY; Alice Geier, NC
The town of Middletown was incorporated in 1789, as a part of Ulster county, being formed from the towns of Woodstock and Rochester, and took its name, no doubt, from the circumstance that at its formation white settlements had made no considerable progress beyond the Susquehanna valley--nearly the whole population of the State being included within the territory drained by the Hudson river, the Delaware and the Susquehanna. The Delaware is the middle valley, and the town contained nearly all that part of Ulster county lying within it. It is one of the original towns of Delaware county, as well as one of the oldest, and formerly covered all the territory of the present towns of Roxbury, Bovina, Middletown, Andes, Colchester and Hancock; nearly all of Stamford, a large part of Delhi, Hamden, Walton and Tompkins, and a small portion of Shandaken, in Ulster County, comprising more than half of the whole county of Delaware. By division it has been reduced to a territory of about fifty thousand acres or seventy-nine square miles, with a population of about three thousand inhabitants, or thirty-eight to the square mile.
...
IN THE BEGINNINGSo vague and uncertain are the traditions of the French settlers that we will be led by this topic back only to the spring of 1763. During the fall and winter previous a party was formed in Hurley, Ulster county, N. Y. to explore the Delaware valley, and, if expedient , to make arrangements for emigrating thither with their families.
Four families made the experiment, and bought four farms on great lot No. 7, on the Middletown flats in 1763. The deeds are dated April 9th of that year, and the purchase price was twenty shillings per acre. Harmonus Dumond bought the farm across the river from Margaretville, and his brother, Peter Dumond, took a farm up the river, near the present residence of Elijah A. Olmsted. Johannes Von Woggoner settled part of the Cockburn farm. The farm is so called from William Cockburn, a surveyor, who was in the employ of the Livingstons in 1774, and received this fine farm of six hundred acres for a part of his compensation. He also in 1797 made the survey and map locating the line between Delaware and Ulster counties. This line was resurveyed officially in 1874 and the marked trees were them standing, on some of which the date was still legible.
Peter Hendricks located on the farm now owned by Noah Dimmick. Hendrick's wife was a widow Kittle, and her son \, Frederick Kittle, has been spoken of as the fifth early settler, but the fact is he came with his step-father at the age of sixteen years. This farm is generally known as the Kittle farm, and in this way: Mr. Hendricks made a will giving his son a musket, and his step-son the farm. It is believed that this family purchased of one of the French Canadians, who had returned after the French and Indian troubles had subsided.
The little Dutch colony thus planted continues to increase by immigration, and within eight years numbered nine families. Of these, William Philip Henry Yaple came to the Elias Carpenter place in 1771. He evidently came to the settlement on more than one errand, for his fortunes were at once shared by Dumond's daughter Nelly. Other settlers were Simeon Von Waggoner, Slyter, Green, Hinebaugh and Bierch. All the settlers thus far had maintained friendly relations with the Indians, but during the first years of the Revolutionary troubles complications arose, by which the property, the freedom, and in some instances the lives of the colonists were sacrificed.
...
The Public SchoolsThe early schools of Middletown were essentially similar to those already mentioned in the Dutch settlements at Shavertown. The Dutch language was both read and spoken in the schools. These Dutch schools being broken up, as above narrated, no further effort was made toward public instruction until after the Revolution.
The first school of this period was probably near the foot of the Whortleberry Hill road. A log school-house was built on a knoll near the present site of the stone schoolhouse in that district. Noah Mann was one of the early teachers.
In this school several such families of young men as the Carpenters, the Waterburys, the Dimmicks and the Sandses were educated for the prominent stations they afterward filled in public and professional life.
...
IncorporationThe growth of the place had been very rapid during the period covered by the dates thus far given, and in 1875, on the 5th of April, a meeting was called to consider the subject of incorporating the village. This call was signed by W.R. Swart, O.M. Allaben, A.R. Henderson, Charles Gorsch, S.P. Ives, O.M. Race, William Mungle, jr., John H. Banker, O.A. Swart, Asa Akerly, A.P. Carpenter, E.L. O'Connor, J.W. Kittel, Thomas Winter, A.L. Stratton, J.B. Ackerly, A.B. Edson, Mrs. Fanny J. Grant, John Y. Dumond, Jackson Scudder and J.L. Allaben.
The election for incorporating the village was held May 8th, 1875, resulting affirmatively.
The first charter election was held Jund 21st, 1875, and resulted in the election of Dr. S.W. Reed preseident, and E. A. Olmsted, G.G. Decker and A.P. Carpenter trustees, without opposition.
...
The legal profession has been represented in Margaretville since 1855 by A. P. Carpenter, who was born in 1829. His law training was begun in the office of Samuel Gordon, of Delhi, where he practiced a year after being admitted to the bar in January, 1853.ABRAM CARPENTER, the most extensive farmer on Mill brook , is a son of Richard; was born in Middletown in 1821. In 1864 he was married to Margaret Jaquish, whose father, John, built the saw-mill below Mr. Carpenter's residence in 1834. The farm of four hundred and fifty acres was first cleared by Leander Done, about 1840.
RICHARD CARPENTER, son of John Carpenter, was born in Dutchess county in 1791. In 1826 he removed to Middletown, where he resided until death, which occurred February 29th, 1879. Mr. Carpenter was long identified with the Methodist church of Margaretville, of which he was steward over thirty years. His wife, who survives him, was a daughter of Abram Akerly. They were married in 1859.

THE TOWN OF TOMPKINS
...
The town of Tompkins is the most western one in the county of Delaware, and is situated between latitude 41° 58'; and 42° 12'; north, and longitude 1° 39'; and 1° 58'; east of Washington, with Masonville north, Walton east, Hancock south, and Sanford, Broome county, on the west, and about two miles of Pennsylvania on the southwest.In 1769 Simon Metcalf, a government surveyor, established the most western corner of the town and county, at the mouth of the Tewbeac, on Oquago creek, at Deposit, and ran "the property line" between the Indians and the King, in pursuance of the treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768. In 1774 David Rittenhouse and Samuel Holland, commissioners appointed by the States of Pennsylvania and New York to fix the northeast corner of Pennsylvania in latitude 42°, wet up and marked a stone on an island about six miles southeast of Deposit, on the Squire Travis farm, from which the island was called Monument Island. Soon after the commencement of the Revolutionary war Bo'son Parks was brought up to the Cook-house by the Indians from Equinunk in a canoe, and landed near the council ground on the N. K. wheeler farm, where he was tied, and the Indians (leaving him till their return) went up the river and gathered lead ore from a mine supposed to have been near the mouth of the Astraguntira.

The farm between JOSEPH and ELIPHALET CHAMBERLIN was settled by JAMES GALLEY from Ireland. He had two sons, JAMES and JOHN. JAMES lived on the place, died in 1873. The farm now owned by L. B. PALMER and the one below it was cleared by OBIDIAH SANDS working under JUDGE PINE of Walton about 1810. JOHN CARPENTER and DANIEL G. FRISBEE bought these and for many years carried on lumbering. The mill at the Eddy was known as Carpenter's Mill. MR. CARPENTER had a large family of children: ARTEMUS, POLLY, CHESTER, LUCY, DANIEL, BERSHA, JAMES and SALLY.L.B. PALMER'S first wife was LUCY, he bought out the other heirs. JOHN CARPENTER kept a tavern for many years catering to lumberman. He died suddenly of hemorage of the stomach in 1837.

The Court of Common Pleas was the civil court in the early days of Delaware County. The first Common Pleas Court session in Delaware County was held at the home and tavern of Gideon Frisbee on October 3, 1797. At the time Gideon Frisbee's house was in the Town of Kortright. When the Town of Delhi was erected March 23, 1798, Gideon's land was included in this new town. All Courts and meetings were held there until the summer of 1799 when the Court House/Clerk's Office/Jail was completed in what is now the Village of Delhi.The Common Pleas Judgment Book, in the County Clerk's Office, is a true copy of the original earlier book. It was copied and checked with the original in accordance with an act passed April 7, 1834. The first entries were on October 4, 1797.

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
13th Section - pages 589 through 649AUGUSTUS J. CARPENTER, a retired farmer, who occupies a pleasant home in the village of Walton, may be classed as one of the self-made men of Delaware County, having begun his career without other resources than his own indomitable will and persevering industry. He was born in the town of Hamden, Delaware County, in 1844, and is a son of John L. Carpenter, a farmer by occupation, who married Juliet Smith, daughter of Benjamin Smith. At the age of thirty-six years she was called from this life, and was followed the next year by her husband. Four sons, the eldest of whom was but thirteen years old, were left orphans, and were subsequently cared for by kind neighbors and friends.
Augustus J. Carpenter was nine years old when the death of his father occurred, and he was taken to the home of a neighbor with whom he lived for a year. He then became an inmate of the household of a relative, Jotham Scudder, a blacksmith, residing near Delhi, with whom he lived until attaining his majority. He received a limited amount of schooling, and became familiar with the trade of a blacksmith; but work at the forge having no attractions for him, he turned his attention to agriculture, and went to work on a farm by the month. Being hard-working and economical in his habits, he saved some money, and in 1878 bought one hundred and six acres of good land in the town of Masonville, where he carried on general farming with excellent results. In I893 he sold his farm and removed to the village of Walton, where he is now enjoying the fruits of his earlier years of labor.
Mr. Carpenter has been twice married. On February 4, 1869, he was wedded to Alida Cramer, daughter of William and Polly(Munson) Cramer, all natives of Delaware County.
She died on the farm in Masonville, March 12, 1885, leaving one son, William. Since her death Mr. Carpenter was united in marriage to Mrs. Margaret (Wright) Ogden, daughter of Malcom and Margaret (Shaw) Wright, and widow of the late Edward Ogden, who died in the village of Walton, in March, 1871, being then but thirty-six years old. Mr. Ogden was born in Walton, son of Abram and Margaret (Sawyer) Ogden, who removed here from New Jersey. His great-grandfather was one of the earliest settlers of the county; and his grandfather, Daniel Ogden, cleared and improved a fine farm, four miles from Walton, on West Brook, the farm now being owned and occupied by William H. Ogden, a son of Mrs. Carpenter. Mr. Wright, the father of Mrs. Carpenter, was born in Scotland, emigrating from there when a young man. His wife, Margaret Shaw, was a native of Delhi. Three sons and six daughters were born of their union, all of whom, with the exception of two daughters, are now living. Of the union of Margaret Wright and Edward Ogden eight children were born, three of whom are deceased; namely, Eliza, Emily, and Charles. Eliza died at the age of twenty-two years. Emily, who married Platt Hanford, died in 1887, at the age of twenty-nine years, leaving an infant daughter. Charles married Imelda Beers, he died May 1, 1892, aged thirty years, leaving his widow and two children - Thurman and Louise. The names of the living children are as follows: William H. who resides on the Ogden farm, as before mentioned: Julia, who was graduated from the Walton High school, was a successful teacher, and is the wife of Edwin Guild; Jennie, an active young lady, living with her brother on the farm; John, a harness-maker; and James, a salesman in a hardware store in Oxford.
...
NOTE: In 1836 Lyman Palmer marries Lucy Carpenter daughter of John Carpenter, a native of VT.
LYMAN B. PALMER, a highly respected and well-to-do citizen of the town of Tompkins, was born February 28, 1815, at Delhi, son of Abel Palmer, a native of Canton, Litchfield County, Conn. The father of Abel Palmer came with his parents when young to Andes, Delaware County, where he went into the carpentering business, and built some of the first frame houses in that section of the country. He married a member of the Peck family, of Connecticut. From Andes he moved with his family to Delhi, where he died.
Abel Palmer was born in 1772. From boyhood he showed marked vocal ability; and he taught singing-school for a long time, but eventually leased a piece of land, where he carried on farming, also following the trade of carpenter and millwright. He married Mary Saunders, a native of Connecticut, whose family were noted for their bravery and daring in the Revolutionary War. Abel Palmer first settled in Andes, but later in life moved to Delhi, where he purchased a farm, and resided there until his death, in 1855, when eighty-two years of age. His wife had died nineteen years previous to this, having had a family of eight children -- Betsey, Saunders, Margaret, Lydia, Castle, Erbin, Abel, and Lyman B.
Lyman B. Palmer received his education at the district schools of Delhi, and until sixteen years old assisted his father on the farm. He then started for himself in life, doing carpentering and lumbering until he reached his twenty-first year, when he went South, working in Georgia and the Carolinas, erecting mills. During the late war he was engaged on government works for a few years. In 1851 he bought from the heirs of his first wife's family ninety-four acres of land, upon which he now resides, also holding the title to four hundred and ninety acres in Georgia.
Mr. Palmer has been twice married, first, in 1836, to Lucy Carpenter, daughter of John Carpenter, a native of Vermont; and by this marriage there were two children: Mary Jane, who married Henry Marks, of Chicago, Ill.; and Nancy M., who married Norman J. Harris, of Hart, Oceana County, Mich. Mr. Palmer married for his second wife, in 1866, Renna A. Butler, who was born in the town of Walton in 1826, daughter of John, Jr., and Ruana (Berry) Butler. John Butler, the grandfather of Mrs. Palmer, was born in England, and came to this country when a young man, settling in Connecticut, where he followed the trade of shoemaker. All of his sympathies were with the American people, and during the Revolutionary War he assisted on this side. Three of his brothers were numbered among the British forces, and during an engagement John Butler shot one of them three times without recognizing his victim. He married Martha Eells, of Canaan, Conn.; and in 1809 he, with his wife, bought land in Walton, where he engaged in farming. John Butler Jr., followed his father in the shoemaking business until his death, at the old homestead, when sixty-three years of age. He was the father of nine children. Mrs. Palmer's sister Harriet married George W. Finch, of Tompkins, and still resides in that town.
Lyman B. Palmer has been a voter in four different states -- New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and South Carolina. He first voted with Whigs; and, when the change was made in the two parties, he became an Independent, voting generally, however, with the Democratic party. While in the South, he met and talked with many prominent men, including Jefferson Davis; Alexander Stephens; Governor Crawford, of Georgia; and Robert Toombs. Mr. Palmer is one of the substantial citizens of Tompkins, is still hale and vigorous, and continues to look after his extensive business interests.

THE TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN
Electronic text by Shirley Becker, CA; Ray LaFever, NY; Alice Geier, NC
The town of Middletown was incorporated in 1789, as a part of Ulster county, being formed from the towns of Woodstock and Rochester, and took its name, no doubt, from the circumstance that at its formation white settlements had made no considerable progress beyond the Susquehanna valley--nearly the whole population of the State being included within the territory drained by the Hudson river, the Delaware and the Susquehanna. The Delaware is the middle valley, and the town contained nearly all that part of Ulster county lying within it. It is one of the original towns of Delaware county, as well as one of the oldest, and formerly covered all the territory of the present towns of Roxbury, Bovina, Middletown, Andes, Colchester and Hancock; nearly all of Stamford, a large part of Delhi, Hamden, Walton and Tompkins, and a small portion of Shandaken, in Ulster County, comprising more than half of the whole county of Delaware. By division it has been reduced to a territory of about fifty thousand acres or seventy-nine square miles, with a population of about three thousand inhabitants, or thirty-eight to the square mile.
...
IN THE BEGINNINGSo vague and uncertain are the traditions of the French settlers that we will be led by this topic back only to the spring of 1763. During the fall and winter previous a party was formed in Hurley, Ulster county, N. Y. to explore the Delaware valley, and, if expedient , to make arrangements for emigrating thither with their families.
Four families made the experiment, and bought four farms on great lot No. 7, on the Middletown flats in 1763. The deeds are dated April 9th of that year, and the purchase price was twenty shillings per acre. Harmonus Dumond bought the farm across the river from Margaretville, and his brother, Peter Dumond, took a farm up the river, near the present residence of Elijah A. Olmsted. Johannes Von Woggoner settled part of the Cockburn farm. The farm is so called from William Cockburn, a surveyor, who was in the employ of the Livingstons in 1774, and received this fine farm of six hundred acres for a part of his compensation. He also in 1797 made the survey and map locating the line between Delaware and Ulster counties. This line was resurveyed officially in 1874 and the marked trees were them standing, on some of which the date was still legible.
Peter Hendricks located on the farm now owned by Noah Dimmick. Hendrick's wife was a widow Kittle, and her son, Frederick Kittle, has been spoken of as the fifth early settler, but the fact is he came with his step-father at the age of sixteen years. This farm is generally known as the Kittle farm, and in this way: Mr. Hendricks made a will giving his son a musket, and his step-son the farm. It is believed that this family purchased of one of the French Canadians, who had returned after the French and Indian troubles had subsided.
The little Dutch colony thus planted continues to increase by immigration, and within eight years numbered nine families. Of these, William Philip Henry Yaple came to the Elias Carpenter place in 1771. He evidently came to the settlement on more than one errand, for his fortunes were at once shared by Dumond's daughter Nelly. Other settlers were Simeon Von Waggoner, Slyter, Green, Hinebaugh and Bierch. All the settlers thus far had maintained friendly relations with the Indians, but during the first years of the Revolutionary troubles complications arose, by which the property, the freedom, and in some instances the lives of the colonists were sacrificed.
...
The Public SchoolsThe early schools of Middletown were essentially similar to those already mentioned in the Dutch settlements at Shavertown. The Dutch language was both read and spoken in the schools. These Dutch schools being broken up, as above narrated, no further effort was made toward public instruction until after the Revolution.
The first school of this period was probably near the foot of the Whortleberry Hill road. A log school-house was built on a knoll near the present site of the stone schoolhouse in that district. Noah Mann was one of the early teachers.
In this school several such families of young men as the Carpenters, the Waterburys, the Dimmicks and the Sandses were educated for the prominent stations they afterward filled in public and professional life.
...
IncorporationThe growth of the place had been very rapid during the period covered by the dates thus far given, and in 1875, on the 5th of April, a meeting was called to consider the subject of incorporating the village. This call was signed by W.R. Swart, O.M. Allaben, A.R. Henderson, Charles Gorsch, S.P. Ives, O.M. Race, William Mungle, jr., John H. Banker, O.A. Swart, Asa Akerly, A.P. Carpenter, E.L. O'Connor, J.W. Kittel, Thomas Winter, A.L. Stratton, J.B. Ackerly, A.B. Edson, Mrs. Fanny J. Grant, John Y. Dumond, Jackson Scudder and J.L. Allaben.
The election for incorporating the village was held May 8th, 1875, resulting affirmatively.
The first charter election was held Jund 21st, 1875, and resulted in the election of Dr. S.W. Reed preseident, and E. A. Olmsted, G.G. Decker and A.P. Carpenter trustees, without opposition.
...
The legal profession has been represented in Margaretville since 1855 by A. P. Carpenter, who was born in 1829. His law training was begun in the office of Samuel Gordon, of Delhi, where he practiced a year after being admitted to the bar in January, 1853.ABRAM CARPENTER, the most extensive farmer on Mill brook , is a son of Richard; was born in Middletown in 1821. In 1864 he was married to Margaret Jaquish, whose father, John, built the saw-mill below Mr. Carpenter's residence in 1834. The farm of four hundred and fifty acres was first cleared by Leander Done, about 1840.
RICHARD CARPENTER, son of John Carpenter, was born in Dutchess county in 1791. In 1826 he removed to Middletown, where he resided until death, which occurred February 29th, 1879. Mr. Carpenter was long identified with the Methodist church of Margaretville, of which he was steward over thirty years. His wife, who survives him, was a daughter of Abram Akerly. They were married in 1859.

THE TOWN OF TOMPKINS
...
The town of Tompkins is the most western one in the county of Delaware, and is situated between latitude 41° 58'; and 42° 12'; north, and longitude 1° 39'; and 1° 58'; east of Washington, with Masonville north, Walton east, Hancock south, and Sanford, Broome county, on the west, and about two miles of Pennsylvania on the southwest.In 1769 Simon Metcalf, a government surveyor, established the most western corner of the town and county, at the mouth of the Tewbeac, on Oquago creek, at Deposit, and ran "the property line" between the Indians and the King, in pursuance of the treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768. In 1774 David Rittenhouse and Samuel Holland, commissioners appointed by the States of Pennsylvania and New York to fix the northeast corner of Pennsylvania in latitude 42°, wet up and marked a stone on an island about six miles southeast of Deposit, on the Squire Travis farm, from which the island was called Monument Island. Soon after the commencement of the Revolutionary war Bo'son Parks was brought up to the Cook-house by the Indians from Equinunk in a canoe, and landed near the council ground on the N. K. wheeler farm, where he was tied, and the Indians (leaving him till their return) went up the river and gathered lead ore from a mine supposed to have been near the mouth of the Astraguntira.

The Court of Common Pleas was the civil court in the early days of Delaware County. The first Common Pleas Court session in Delaware County was held at the home and tavern of Gideon Frisbee on October 3, 1797. At the time Gideon Frisbee's house was in the Town of Kortright. When the Town of Delhi was erected March 23, 1798, Gideon's land was included in this new town. All Courts and meetings were held there until the summer of 1799 when the Court House/Clerk's Office/Jail was completed in what is now the Village of Delhi.The Common Pleas Judgment Book, in the County Clerk's Office, is a true copy of the original earlier book. It was copied and checked with the original in accordance with an act passed April 7, 1834. The first entries were on October 4, 1797.

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
13th Section - pages 589 through 649AUGUSTUS J. CARPENTER, a retired farmer, who occupies a pleasant home in the village of Walton, may be classed as one of the self-made men of Delaware County, having begun his career without other resources than his own indomitable will and persevering industry. He was born in the town of Hamden, Delaware County, in 1844, and is a son of John L. Carpenter, a farmer by occupation, who married Juliet Smith, daughter of Benjamin Smith. At the age of thirty-six years she was called from this life, and was followed the next year by her husband. Four sons, the eldest of whom was but thirteen years old, were left orphans, and were subsequently cared for by kind neighbors and friends.
Augustus J. Carpenter was nine years old when the death of his father occurred, and he was taken to the home of a neighbor with whom he lived for a year. He then became an inmate of the household of a relative, Jotham Scudder, a blacksmith, residing near Delhi, with whom he lived until attaining his majority. He received a limited amount of schooling, and became familiar with the trade of a blacksmith; but work at the forge having no attractions for him, he turned his attention to agriculture, and went to work on a farm by the month. Being hard-working and economical in his habits, he saved some money, and in 1878 bought one hundred and six acres of good land in the town of Masonville, where he carried on general farming with excellent results. In I893 he sold his farm and removed to the village of Walton, where he is now enjoying the fruits of his earlier years of labor.
Mr. Carpenter has been twice married. On February 4, 1869, he was wedded to Alida Cramer, daughter of William and Polly(Munson) Cramer, all natives of Delaware County.
She died on the farm in Masonville, March 12, 1885, leaving one son, William. Since her death Mr. Carpenter was united in marriage to Mrs. Margaret (Wright) Ogden, daughter of Malcom and Margaret (Shaw) Wright, and widow of the late Edward Ogden, who died in the village of Walton, in March, 1871, being then but thirty-six years old. Mr. Ogden was born in Walton, son of Abram and Margaret (Sawyer) Ogden, who removed here from New Jersey. His great-grandfather was one of the earliest settlers of the county; and his grandfather, Daniel Ogden, cleared and improved a fine farm, four miles from Walton, on West Brook, the farm now being owned and occupied by William H. Ogden, a son of Mrs. Carpenter. Mr. Wright, the father of Mrs. Carpenter, was born in Scotland, emigrating from there when a young man. His wife, Margaret Shaw, was a native of Delhi. Three sons and six daughters were born of their union, all of whom, with the exception of two daughters, are now living. Of the union of Margaret Wright and Edward Ogden eight children were born, three of whom are deceased; namely, Eliza, Emily, and Charles. Eliza died at the age of twenty-two years. Emily, who married Platt Hanford, died in 1887, at the age of twenty-nine years, leaving an infant daughter. Charles married Imelda Beers, he died May 1, 1892, aged thirty years, leaving his widow and two children - Thurman and Louise. The names of the living children are as follows: William H. who resides on the Ogden farm, as before mentioned: Julia, who was graduated from the Walton High school, was a successful teacher, and is the wife of Edwin Guild; Jennie, an active young lady, living with her brother on the farm; John, a harness-maker; and James, a salesman in a hardware store in Oxford.

NOTE: In 1836 Lyman Palmer marries Lucy Carpenter daughter of John Carpenter, a native of VT.
LYMAN B. PALMER, a highly respected and well-to-do citizen of the town of Tompkins, was born February 28, 1815, at Delhi, son of Abel Palmer, a native of Canton, Litchfield County, Conn. The father of Abel Palmer came with his parents when young to Andes, Delaware County, where he went into the carpentering business, and built some of the first frame houses in that section of the country. He married a member of the Peck family, of Connecticut. From Andes he moved with his family to Delhi, where he died.
Abel Palmer was born in 1772. From boyhood he showed marked vocal ability; and he taught singing-school for a long time, but eventually leased a piece of land, where he carried on farming, also following the trade of carpenter and millwright. He married Mary Saunders, a native of Connecticut, whose family were noted for their bravery and daring in the Revolutionary War. Abel Palmer first settled in Andes, but later in life moved to Delhi, where he purchased a farm, and resided there until his death, in 1855, when eighty-two years of age. His wife had died nineteen years previous to this, having had a family of eight children -- Betsey, Saunders, Margaret, Lydia, Castle, Erbin, Abel, and Lyman B.
Lyman B. Palmer received his education at the district schools of Delhi, and until sixteen years old assisted his father on the farm. He then started for himself in life, doing carpentering and lumbering until he reached his twenty-first year, when he went South, working in Georgia and the Carolinas, erecting mills. During the late war he was engaged on government works for a few years. In 1851 he bought from the heirs of his first wife's family ninety-four acres of land, upon which he now resides, also holding the title to four hundred and ninety acres in Georgia.
Mr. Palmer has been twice married, first, in 1836, to Lucy Carpenter, daughter of John Carpenter, a native of Vermont; and by this marriage there were two children: Mary Jane, who married Henry Marks, of Chicago, Ill.; and Nancy M., who married Norman J. Harris, of Hart, Oceana County, Mich. Mr. Palmer married for his second wife, in 1866, Renna A. Butler, who was born in the town of Walton in 1826, daughter of John, Jr., and Ruana (Berry) Butler. John Butler, the grandfather of Mrs. Palmer, was born in England, and came to this country when a young man, settling in Connecticut, where he followed the trade of shoemaker. All of his sympathies were with the American people, and during the Revolutionary War he assisted on this side. Three of his brothers were numbered among the British forces, and during an engagement John Butler shot one of them three times without recognizing his victim. He married Martha Eells, of Canaan, Conn.; and in 1809 he, with his wife, bought land in Walton, where he engaged in farming. John Butler Jr., followed his father in the shoemaking business until his death, at the old homestead, when sixty-three years of age. He was the father of nine children. Mrs. Palmer's sister Harriet married George W. Finch, of Tompkins, and still resides in that town.
Lyman B. Palmer has been a voter in four different states -- New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and South Carolina. He first voted with Whigs; and, when the change was made in the two parties, he became an Independent, voting generally, however, with the Democratic party. While in the South, he met and talked with many prominent men, including Jefferson Davis; Alexander Stephens; Governor Crawford, of Georgia; and Robert Toombs. Mr. Palmer is one of the substantial citizens of Tompkins, is still hale and vigorous, and continues to look after his extensive business interests.

Richard Carpenter was a native of Dutchess County, born on January 6, 1791. He married Miss Margaret Hicks, by whom he had nine children, namely: William, who married Ann Cornell; Deborah, who married Luther Landon; John who married Mrs. Delia R. Ellison; Isabell, who married first William J. Walker, second the Rev. B. S.

He then moved to Margarettville, which was but a hamlet at that time. There were no stores or mills nearer than Kingston, where all of the marketing had to be done.
