Brief Life History of Oliver S. Trumbull

When Oliver Trumbull was born on 14 January 1769, in Tyringham, Berkshire, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, his father, Joel Trumbull, was 26 and his mother, Rhoda Stow, was 27. He married Elizabeth Betsy Griffith (Daughter of Seth Griffith and Mary Westcott) on 18 December 1788, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 5 daughters. He lived in Albany, New York, United States in 1790. He died on 9 March 1856, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States, at the age of 87.

 

The Aylesworth Settlement  had commenced early in New Petersburgh  (Petersburgh was located in the northeast section of Rensselaer County, NY). Jasper Aylesworth, the first settler of Smithfield, arrived in 1795, when he opened a clearing in that area of Peterboro. He had no family, and therefore was the sole inhabitant for a short time.  About 1798, Oliver Trumbull left the Massachuesetts Bay and bought 50 acres a half mile south of Jasper Aylesworth's clearing and his posterity held an honorable position in the growth of this and other towns. Seth Griffin came the same year.. In 1797-'99 came the Bump families made their way there, first Ithamar, and afterwards his father, Ichabod, and his brothers, Moses, Nathan, David, Jonathan, Gideon, Jacob, and a sister, Hannah, wife of Ebenezer Bronson, mother of Hon. Greene C. Bronson. Several of these remained in the town and by their thrifty lives added much to the town's general prosperity; most of them have eventually moved farther west. The only branches of the family who remained in  Smithfield are two grandsons and a granddaughter of Ichabod, Ira and Jeremiah Bump and Mrs. Bush.

 

 "In 1795, Utica (Old Ft. Schuyler) was the nearest market, and thither through the woods, guided by marked trees to the old Genesee road, the sparse population of all this section of Madison County wended their way to market. At that time John Post, a clever Dutchman, was merchant and postmaster at Utica for all this region, and Jason Parker carried the mail between Albany and Utica. The arrival of half a dozen letters for people of this far off section was a remarkable incident which sometimes happened---as we find indicated by the following advertisement of "Letters remaining in the post office at Fort Schuyler," published in the "Western Sentinel," Sept. 23d, 1795, the oldest issue of that paper known to be extant;---"Jedediah Jackson or Asahel Jackson, Clinton; Stephen Burton, 2, Whitestown; Oliver Trumbull, Fort Schuyler." These men were then or soon after residents of this and adjoining towns.  The Trumbulls and Griffins had families, and all of them located on lot 33, Second Allotment, being the first lot south of No. 26, on which is Peterboro. Aylesworth was unmarried, and came as the hired man of Judge Smith, and in that capacity felled the forest trees on the village plat, then an untouched wilderness which had never before been made to echo to the sound of the axman's blows and the hourly crashing of falling trees. How long he continued in Judge Smith's employ is not known; but at an early day in the history of the town he married a daughter of John Taft, Esq., another early settler who lived in town. Mr. Aylesworth endured the privations incident to the early settlers. On one occasion he brought a five-pail kettle on his back from Utica, to make maple sugar! Some of his first supplies and provisions he brought from Utica in the same manner. He became a permanent resident of the town and was an enterprising and successful farmer. One only, of the large family he reared remains in town." Madison County Directory of 1868 and '69, from the pen of Hon. A. A. Raymond,

 

Brief Life History of Elizabeth Betsy

When Elizabeth Betsy Griffith was born on 28 July 1769, in Canaan Parish, Fairfield, Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America, her father, Seth Griffith, was 31 and her mother, Mary Wescott, was 30. She married Oliver Trumbull on 18 December 1788, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 5 daughters. She died after 1830, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States.

Glass, Lewis J. (20 Feb 1847 - 19 Feb 1898)


One by one death gathers its victims, claiming one, whom, when called hence, leaves aching hearts where once was a happy family. The news Saturday morning last of the death of Lewis J. Glass was startling to all. Mr. Glass had been ailing for some three weeks past, and Friday evening succumbed to the inevitable, the direct cause being neuralgia of the heart.

Deceased was born in Loenminster, Worcester County, Mass., Feb. 20, 1847. At the age of eleven years he settled in Washington County, Wis., where he remained until the year 1869, when he came to Neillsville, Clark County, his late home. Here he resided, and for many years held the office of municipal justice. He was a member of Chas. G. Bacon Post No. 48, G.A.R., having served in the late war in Co. H. 61st Ill. Vol., receiving an honorable discharge at the end of the services. He was also a member of Co. A. 3rd Inf., W.N.G., for twenty years, and at the time of his death was chief clerk of the same. During the Hoard and Rusk administration in Madison, Mr. Glass held the position of clerk in the adjutant general's office.

In business transactions Mr. Glass was very precise, his books being kept in perfect order, and as a citizen he was all that any community could wish. He leaves a wife, seven children and other relatives to mourn. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon under auspices of G.A.R. and W.N.G.
