Wheeler, and others; while those who have aided by extended
personal effort, will be found credited in the pages where
their work
appears.
The
Publisher desires to acknowledge his
obligations to those
citizens of the
county who, by their patronage, have
enabled him to
bring this work
to completion. Especially
are his
thanks
due to
the clergy throughout
the
county,
and to the editors and
managers of the county
newspapers
for essential aid
rendered.
Valuable
assistance
has been derived from
consulting the following:
Adams'
"History of
New England;"
Smith's
"History of New
York;"
Spafford's "Gazetteer of New York;"
(editions of
1813 and 1824);
Gordon's "Gazetteer
of New York;" Clarke's
"Onondaga;"
Miner's "History of
Wyoming;"
Hodgkin's
"History of
Western
New
York;" Turner's "History
of the
Phelps and Gorham Purchase;" Turner's "Pioneer
History of
the Holland Purchase;"
Barber and Howe's "Historical Collections of
New York;"
McMaster's "History of
the Settlement of
Steuben County;"
"The Diary
of David
Ziesburger,"
Moravian
missionary to
the Indians; Schoolcraft's "Notes
on the
Iroquois," French's "Gazetter
of the State of New York;" The "Life and
Times of Rev.
Thomas Sheardown;" The
"Life of Mary
Jemison,
Deh-ne-wa-mis, the White Woman of the
Genesee;" Child's "Gazetteer of
Steuben County;" the
manuscript copy
of the late
Charles
H. Erwin's "Centennial
History of
Painted Post;" W.
W. Clayton's "History of
Steuben
County;" The
"State Geologist's
Report," and other
state, county and town documents, and
in
numerous
pamphlets and
manuscripts
kindly loaned.
It
is here
suggested that the patrons
of this work carefully
read the
explanations
on page 3, Part
Second.
More than
ordinary care has
been exercised in collecting
and
compiling the information
contained
in that department. Still, in the time
required
to complete this work in a
county so
large and
thickly
populated as
Steuben, deaths have
occurred and
changes have necessarily taken place.
However,
corrections
have been made
to date
so far as it was possible to obtain
information, and such
errors as have
been noted in the
reading of the
proofs
will be found corrected in the
Errata.
With a
reasonable
degree of confidence that
its deficiencies will be charitably
regarded by those who
are best
qualified to judge, the
work is
respectfully
submitted by
THE PUBLISHER.
