 GALUSHA

History of Ontario Co, NY and Its People, Pub 1911, Vol II, pg. 202 - 203 

The name GALUSHA is an uncommon one owing to the meagre number of its bearers, and practically no information has been gathered concerning the origin.  The family to which this article relates is of French descent, and its American forbears were among the early settlers in Vermont.  The name was made prominent in the history of the "Green Mountain State" by Jonas GALUSHA, who, in addition to serving as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, was its governor from 1809 to 1813, and again from 1815 to 1820.

     ( I ) Seymour GALUSHA, a native of France, settled in Vermont prior to the American Revolution.  But little information can be found relative to him or his family history, but he is known to have had a son Amos, who settled in Otsego county, New York.

     ( II ) Clark, son of Amos GALUSHA, was born in Otsego county, October 11, 1824.  Reared in a sparsely settled community his education was confined to the limited advantages afforded by the public school system then in vogue in the rural districts, but he made good use of his opportunities for study and became a man of considerable learning.  His principal occupation was tilling the soil.  In early manhood he resided for a time in Italy, Yates county, New York, and settling in Phelps, Ontario county, in 1864 he purchased a farm which he carried on successfully for the remainder of his active life.  In 1864 he enlisted in the 50th New York Engineers Corps for service in the Union Army, and served until the close of the Civil War, receiving an honorable discharge in 1865.  Although the management of his farm absorbed the greater part of his attention, he nevertheless found opportunities to exercise his abilities in other fields of usefulness, and was one of the most prominent citizens of Phelps in his day.  He took a special interest in the study of history and was regarded as an authority upon that subject.  In politics he was a republican. 

He was a member and trustee of the Methodist Episcopal church, for a number of years acting as superintendent of the Sunday School.  Mr. GALUSHA died May 28, 1906.  He married Eunice BURNETTE, who died October 23, 1896.  Children:  Evangeline, married T.V. FOX, of Clifton Springs, New York; Amanda, married C. SHULTZ, of Clifton Springs; Herbert, died at the age of two years; George S., whose sketch follows:

     ( III ) George S., son of Clark and Eunice ( BURNETTE ) GALUSHA, was born in Italy, Yates county, New York, July 14, 1857.  He went to reside in Phelps in the autumn of 1864, and completed his education at the union school in that town.  He acquired a good knowledge of farming at the homestead and with the exception of short intervals devoted to other pursuits, has made that calling his chief occupation in life.  About the year 1884 he went to Kansas, where he engaged in sheep-raising, and having accumulated a flock of 1,700 sheep he sold them to good advantage and returned to the homestead.  From 1893 to 1898 he was engaged in the shoe trade in Naples, New York, and selling his business in the latter year, he has ever since devoted his energies to the cultivation of his farm in Phelps.  He was elected road commissioner in 1905, was reelected in 1907, and at the present time is serving as town committeeman.  He is a charter member of Naples Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, organized in 1894, and also affiliates with Wide-Awake Grange, Patrons of Husbandry.  He has in various ways demonstrated his business ability and progressive tendencies, and is ever ready to aid in promoting the general interests of the town.  Mr. GALUSHA married, September 26, 1877, Mary Isabelle, daughter of Jesse and Cynthia A. THATCHER.  They have one daughter, Georgia Gladys, born July 3, 1901.

GARLOCK 

History of Ontario Co, NY and Its People, Pub. 1911, Vol. II, pg. 32 -33

Peter GARLOCK, the first member of this family of whom we have definite information, was a descendant of Johann Christopher GERLACH, one of the immigrants from the Palatinate on the Rhine, in Germany.  He was born not later than 1690.  He was appointed the head man of the "dorfs" or villages in which a number of these immigrants were settled in 1710 and 1711.  There were seven of these dorfs, on both sides of the Hudson river, in and opposite what is now Columbia county.  Elizabethtown, over which Johann Christopher GERLACH was head man, was west o the river.  In 1713 a body of these Palatines removed to Schoharie.  They were in a miserable condition, having been unfairly treated in their former settlement, but happily were kindly received and charitably assisted by the Indians.  The richness of the soil soon enabled them to improve their condition.  Others followed within a few years, and one of the villages formed by them was named Gerlach's or Garlock's dorf, after Elias GARLOCK.  About 1722 Elias GARLOCK removed to the Mohawk valley.  Several of the GARLOCKS have won distinction in the Revolution and in Medicine.  Peter GARLOCK had at least one child, Abram, referred to below.

(II)  Abram, son of Peter GARLOCK, was a farmer in Manchester, New York.  He married Catharine, daughter of Peter COOK, who was a native of New Jersey.  The children of Abram and Catharine (Cook) GARLOCK were nine, including Cyrus, referred to below; Dr. Alfred, who lived in Michigan; and Peter, born in Phelps, October 6, 1832, mentioned below.  

(III) Cyrus, son of Abram GARLOCK was born in Manchester, August 26, 1826, died July 6, 1908.  After his education he ran a lumber and stave factory and a cooper shop, and in later years engaged in farming.  He was supervisor of the town and justice of the peace.  He married (first) Hester Ann FERGUSON, and (second) Laura BURT, who died in 1892.  Children of Cyrus and Laura (Burt) GARLOCK: Erastus Burt, married Mary CRAMER, and they lived in St. Louise, Missouri; children: Howard Burt, Laura Marguerite, Floyd, Ruth; William F., referred to below and Mary C.

(IV) William F., son of Cyrus and Laura (Burt) GARLOCK, was born in the town of Manchester, February 15, 1870.  He was educated in the public schools, then engaged in farming until 1904.  In that year he went to Port Gibson, where he engaged in the creamery business and runs a general store.  July 1, 1910, he was appointed postmaster.  In 1891, he married Nellie, daughter of Carroll C. and Lydia TERRY.  Children: Laura Fern, born in 1892; Alice, 1894; Terry, 1895; Emma, 1898; Vincent, 1901; Lydia, 1902; Everett, 1905; Albert, 1907; Dorothy, 1910.

Charles H. GARLOCK, who has for many years served as trustee of the village of Phelps, Ontario county, New York, and is prominently connected with the financial and commercial interests of the county, is a descendant of one of the early Dutch settlers of this country, his great-great grandfather having come to America from Holland. Another of his ancestors was Peter COOK, who was a native of New Jersey.

(III)  Peter, son of Abram and Catharine (Cook) GARLOCK (q.v.) was one of 9 children and was born in Phelps, Ontario county, New York, October 6, 1832, died Feb 17, 1904.  Twenty seven years of his life were spent in Arcadia, New York, and he then made his permanent and final home in Phelps.  In 1863 he commenced the distilling of cider brandy and peppermint oil, about two and one half miles southwest of Newark, New York continuing this plant for the distilling of cider brandy until about 1893, when he discontinued.  In 1879 he built a cider mill in Phelps, New York, and in 1885 he added to the plant and put in new and improved machinery.  The plant then had a capacity of 3,000 barrels of cider annually, and this was constantly being increased as the demand for the excellent product became more extended.  In 1890 he admitted his son, Charles H., to a partnership in the business, under the firm name of P. Garlock & Son.  Mr. GARLOCK married (first), in 1857, Maria VAN DE VORT, of Phelps, who died in 1886 (died Mar 27, 1886).  Children: Ellen, married O. M. LINCOLN; Abram, Thomas, Charles H., Kate, Alfred & Jessie M.  He married (second), Cecelia SMITH, of Rochester, New York; children: Arthur & Grace. 

(IV)  Charles H., son of Peter and Maria (Van De Vort) GARLOCK, was born in Arcadia, Wayne county, New York, May 7, 1864.  His education was acquired in the public schools and in the Newark Union School, and he was engaged in various occupations until he had attained his majority. At the age of 21 years, he went to South Dakota, and accepted a position in the hardware store of his brother, Thomas, remaining with him 2 years.  He then went to Denver, Colorado, in which city he opened a cigar and confectionery store, in which he was successfully engaged for one year.  He abandoned this in 1889, in order to return to the east and enter into the partnership which had been proffered by his father.  His energy and enterprise soon occasioned many innovations to be introduced, to the great benefit of the enterprise, and upon the death of his father, Charles H. GARLOCK purchased his interest in the business, uniting them with his own.  In 1910 he decided to incorporate the concern, a proceeding which was immediately put into effect, and a stock company organized.  Charles H. GARLOCK is the president of this company; C. W. KELLY, vice president; and J. Fred HELMER, secretary and treasurer.  It is know commercially as the P. Garlock Company, and has largely increased facilities for the manufacture of their wares, this being rendered imperative by the increased demand.  The annual output at the present time is from 5 to 10 thousand barrels of cider and from 3 to 5 hundred barrels of apple brandy.  The demands which his position as president of this important corporation make upon his time do not prevent Mr. GARLOCK from being actively interested in a number of other enterprises.  July 27, 1910, Mr. GARLOCK was the leading spirit in the organization of the Phelps National Bank, of which he was elected president, and under his able management this undertaking is proving a decided success.  The Phelps National Bank of Phelps, New York, is one of the substantial financial institutions; the bank was opened for business, September 8, 1910 and it is receiving the patronage of a large number of people.  The officers are: Charles H. GARLOCK, president; A. T. VAN NOSTRAND, vice-president; J. Fred HELMER, cashier; Mae C. VAN BUREN, assistant cashier. 

(A table appears here as a financial statement  made December 8, 1910, when the bank was but 3 months old, of $123,858.32)

GATES

History of Ontario County, NY, Pub. 1878, Pg. 163 

Joseph Brown GATES the chief subject of this sketch, was born in Hopewell, Ontario County, New York, April 28, 1802.  At the present writing he is in his 75th year and resides on the farm where he was born, and where he has always resided, three and one-half miles east of Canandaigua, on the old turnpike road.  His father, Daniel GATES, was one of the first settlers in Ontario County, having emigrated hither from Rutland county, Vermont, in the year 1789.  Soon after his settlement in Gorham (now Hopewell), his wife died, leaving him a family of 9 children.  About the year 1793, he married Milcah BROWN, widow of Joseph BROWN, of Vermont.  As the result of his second marriage, there were five children born to them, Esther, Cyrus, Moses S., Joseph B. and Fordys. 

All of this second family settled in the neighborhood of their birthplace, Joseph B., succeeding to the old homestead.  On the 22^nd of October, 1829, Joseph B., was married to Pamelia B. COOK.  He lead a quiet, industrious farmer life through all the subsequent years of activity.  Careful and prudent in all his business concerns, he gathered about his home the comforts and privileges well earned by toil, and gave his five children the benefits of a good academical education.  He has ever borne both a character and reputation of unquestionable integrity.  Preferring to suffer wrong rather than to do wrong, he never had a contested lawsuit, either as plaintiff or defendant.  Being one of the most highly respected citizens of Ontario county, he has been many times urged to allow his name to be used in reference to places of public trust; but he studiously declined such proffered honors, and hence never was a candidate for any official position, and never held any office above school trustee.  Always leading an exemplary, moral life, he for many years was a regular attendant and supporter of the Presbyterian church in Hopewell, and afterwards of the Wesleyan Methodist church at Hopewell Centre, to which his wife was joined.  In September, 1869, after forty years of contented marriage, his companion in life was separated from him by death.  His five children are living to respect and honor him in his advanced years.
