2. AUTOBIOGRAPY OF JOSEPH S DAVIE







AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH ON OUTLINE OF JOSEPH SAMUEL DAVIE AND

FAMILY WHO WAS BORN IN BOLIVAR, ALLEGANY COUNTY, NY FEB 29, 1824.

MY FATHER MOVED TO THIS PLACE FROM ORANGE COUNTY WHERE HE

WAS RAISED BY ENGLISH PARENTS-HE MARRIED JANE SISSEM A YOUNG

DUTCH GIRL FROM DUCHESS COUNTY NY WHO HAD 18 BROTHERS AND

SISTERS AND ALL LIVING AND MARRIED AT THE SAME TIME. JANE BEING THE

FOURTH FROM THE OLDEST.SHE WAS A WOMAN OF UNUSUAL GOOD HEALTH

AND VIGOR. SHE HAD ALSO AN EXCEEDINGLY ACTIVE AND BRILLIANT

INTELLEC ALTHOUGH THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPING THOSE

FACULTIES WERE LIMITED-AFTER SHE MARRIED SHE ABANDONED THE DUCH

LANGUAGE AND BECAME QUITE FLUENT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.







SHE EXPERIENCED RELIGION AT THE AGE OF 20 YEARS OF AGE AND JOINED

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH WHERE SHE REMAINED A FAITHFUL

AND ZEALOUS ADVOCATE OF CHRISTIANITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF

HER LIFE WHICH TERMINATED IN THE FULLEST TRIUMPH OF CHRISTIAN FAITH

IN THE 46 YEAR OF HER AGE AND NOW SINCE SHE IS DEAD WE CAN SEE

SOME OF THE MOST NOBLE TRAITS OF CHARACTER HUMANITY IS CAPABLE

OF POSSESSING. SHE DIED WITHOUT SITTING FOR A PORTRAIT OF ANY

DESCRIPTION THEREFORE I DESIRE IT HEARE TO GIVE A SORT OF

DESCRIPTION OF SOME OF THE MOST PROMINANT POINTS OF HER PERSON.







SHE WAS 5 FEET AND THREE INCHES HIGH AND USUALY WEIGHT 112 LBS AND

GOOD PROPORTION-HEAVY DARK BROWN STRAIT HAIR AND DARK BLUE

EYES AND BRUNETT COMPLECTION HAD A FINE CUT FACE THOUGH

FEATURES RATHER PROMINANT ESPECIALLY HER NOSE A LITTLE INCLINED

TO ROMAN AND A MOUTH A LITTLE UNPROPORTIANETLY LARGE WHICH IN

THIS CASE WAS A TRUTHFUL INDICATION OF AN EXCELLENT SINGER.







SHE HAD A MOLE A LITTLE BELOW THE CENTER AND FRONT OF HER LEFT

CHEEK AND



ALSO ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER NECK WITH LONG HAIRS PROTRUDING

FROM EACH ONE. SHE HAD A FULL CHEST-AND A VOLUPTUOS BUST AND

PROMINANT BREASTS AND OR COMPLEAT PHYSICLE ORGANIZATION WITH A

NERVOUS TEMPERMENT WHICH RENDERED HER EXTREMELY VIGOUROUS

AND ACTIVE SO THAT SHE COULD NOT BE EXCELLED BY ANY OF HER SEX.

SHE DEVELOPED THESE FACULTIES AND ENNURED HERSELF TO THE ROUGH

WAY OF LIFE SO AS TO RENDER IT AN EASY TASK FOR HER TO RAKE AND

BIND TWO ACRES

OF HEAVY GRAIN IN ONE DAY OR TO KEEP UP WITH A GOOD CRADLER ALL

DAY BESIDES TAKING CARE OF A BABE AND DOING HER HOUSE WORK



MY FATHER SAMUEL DAVIE ENLISTED IN THE WAR OF 1812 AS A SUBSTITUTE

FOR A MAN THAT HAD BEEN CONSCRIPTED . HE WAS TWENTY ONE (21)

HEARS OF AGE WHEN HE ENLISTED HE SERVED THAT WAR FOUR MONTHS

AND TWENTY-EIGHT DAYS (4 MO. 28 DA). AT THE CLOSE OF THE WAR HE WAS

HONORABLY DISCHARGED AT QUEENSTOWN CANADA. ON HIS WAY HOME HE

CROSSED THE HEAD OF CAYUGA LAKE ON THE ICE WHICH WAS LESS THAN

ONE INCH THICK WICH YIELD TO HIS HEFT SO AS TO BEND UNDER HIS FEET.



HE ARRIVED AT HIS HOME IN CHERRY VALLEY, N.Y JUST IN TIME FOR THE

SECOND DAY OF ELECTIONS WHERE HE FIRST VOTED AT A STATE ELECTION.

THE FOLLOWING SPRING HE MARRIED AND COMMENCED FARMING FOR A

LIVING UNTIL HIS AGED MOTHER (WHOM HE HAD TO SUPPORT) DIED. IN 1821

HE MOVED HIS FAMILY WHICH CONSISTED OF A WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN

TO BOLIVAR, ALLEGANY CO. N.Y WHICH WAS A VAST WILDERNESS. THERE

WERE BUT TOO FAMILIES IN THE VICINITY WHO CAME IN THE SPRING BEFORE

HE CAME.HE IMMEDIATELY LOCATED A FARM ON THE LITTLE GENESSEE



CREEK WHERE HE REMAINED UNTIL THREE YEARS BEFORE HIS DEATH AND

WHERE HE RAISED A FAMILY OR COMPLEATED A FAMILY OF TEN (10)

CHILDREN FIVE BOYS AND FIVE GIRLS ( 5 BOYS 5 GIRLS). THE FOLLOWING IS

A LIST OF THERE NAMES AND ALSO THE NAMES OF THEIR COMPANIONS AND

THE NUMBER OF THER CHILDREN COMMENSING WITH THE OLDEST AND

FOLLOWING THE REGULAR ORDER DOWN TO THE YOUNGEST UNTIL THIS

MATTER IS COMPILED.



BETSY DAVIE MARIED C.W COWLES HAD 6 CHILDREN



DANIEL D.T - - AZUBAH BURDICK " 5 "



WILLIAM------ -- ANGENETT MONTROSE" 3



ALMIRA M. JOHN JORDAN 4



JOSEPH MERCIA CHAPIN 6



MARY C ALPHEUS WILLIAMS 4



CHARLES B CLARICY BARNES 4



MARTHA J ROCKWELL WILLIAMS 7



CHESTER LYDA FAREBANKS 4

THIS TABLE SHOWS AN AGREGATE OF FORTY TWO (42) GRANDCHILDREN

SOME OF WHOM MARIED AND ARE RAISING FAMILIES SO THAT IN

EIGHTEEN-HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE (1865) THERE WERE ONE HUNDRED AND

SIX (106) IN THE FAMILY INCLUDING THE GRANDCHILDREN AND

GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN OF THE FOUR GENERATIONS-BESIDES EMILY K.

WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN (16) YEARS AND JAMES WHO DIED AT THE

AGE OF ELEVEN MONTHS WHO WERE THE TWO YOUNGEST OF THE FAMILY.







MY FATHER WAS POOR AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOLING WAS

EXCEEDINGLY LIMITED SO THAT MY EDUCATION WAS SO LIMITED TO ONLY A

PARCIAL KNOWLEDGE OF SOME OF THE COMMON BRANCHES-THE TWO LAST

TERMS I ATTENDED BEING WORTH MORE TO ME THAN ALL THE THAN ALL

THE PREVIOUS TIMES I EVER ATTENDED.







IN 1842 I WENT TO WM P. COWLES TEACHER AND IN 43 WENT TO SHELDON

BUCKLEY-



THEN I DID NOT GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN UNTIL 1846. I WENT TO JAMES MARVIN

TWO TERMS IN 1846 AND 1847. WHICH TERMINATED MY GOING TO DISTRICT

SCHOOL. WHEN I CAME OF AGE (FEB 1846) THE FIRST STRIKE I MADE WAS TO

TAKE ELI LE SEURES SAWMILL TO RUN ON SHARES. I MADE WHAT WAS

CONSIDERED AT THAT TIME A GOOD STRIKE & RUN THE MILL FROM MARCH

1847 (4 MONTHS AND SOLD OUT MY INTEREST) AT A GAIN OF $300.00 WHICH I

MADE DURING THE 4 MONTHS AND IN JULY OF 1847-FOR A FARM OF 50 1\2

ACRES OF CYRUS COWLES WHICH IS SITUATED ON NW.W CORNER OF LOT

NO 62 BOLIVAR TOWNSHIP ETC FOR WHICH I PAID SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY

DOLLARS ($650.00) I PAID THREE HUNDRED ($300.00( DOWN AND THE

BALANCE IN TWO YEARLY INSTALLMENTS.







THE FIRST YEAR I CUT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS $100.00 WORTH HAY. IN

SEPTEMBER



1849 I WENT TO UTICA TO LEARN THE DAGUERROTYPE OF MY BROTHER DDT

DAVIE WHO



HAD JUST LOCATED A GALLERY IN THE DEVEREAUX BLOCK, UTICA, N.Y. I ...

ONE YEAR FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ART AND A COURSE OF CHEMICAL

LECTURES BY PROF. AVERY OF HAMILTON COLAGE AND ALSO MUSIC

LESSONS OF PROF. WRIGHT OF UTICA, N.Y. IT MAY SEEM STRANGE THAT I

SHOULD BE TAKING LECTURES AT HAMILTON COLLEGE AND AT THE SAME

TIME ON A SALLERY OF $300.00 A YEAR. THE FACT THAT I MADE THREE TRIPS

EACH WEEK TO CLINTON WHARE THE COL. IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF

BUSINESS HOURS A DISTENCE OF 14 MILES AND ALWAYS ON FOOT EXCEPT

WHEN I ACCIDENTELY CAUGHT A RIDE WITH OTHER TRAVELERS. AT THE

EXPERATION OF THE TERM I ENGAGED ANOTHER FOR FOUR HUNDRED

$400.00 A YEAR.



IN OCT 1850 BROTHER DDT DAVIE LOCATED A BRANCH GALLERY IN THE

CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON D.C. WHARE HE REMAINED DURING THE WINTER

DURING WHICH TIME HE TOOK A 1\4 SIZE DAGUERREOTYPES OF ALL THE

THIRTHY FIRST (31)CONGRESS WHICH WAS THEN IN SESSION. I HAD BY THIS

TIME BECOME PROFICIANT IN THE ART SO AS TO ENABLE ME TO TAKE

CHARGE OF THE BUSINESS IN UTICA DURING THE ABSENCE OF



MY BR. SUCCESSFULLY AND SATISFACTORYLY. IN FEBRUARY 1850 I WAS

AWARDED A SILVER MEDDLE BY THE UTICA MECHANICS ASSOCIATION FOR

THE BEST DAGUEREOTYPE ON EXHIBITION AT THAR FAIR. I ALSO REC'D A

PREMIUM FROM THE N.Y.S FARE FOR THE BEST PICTURES WHICH WAS HELD

AT ROCHESTER 1850 (SEPT)



IN 1852 I WAS ELECTED SECRETARY AND TREASURER TO THE FIRST

DAGUERREOTYPE ASSOCIATION EVER ORGANIZED IN AMERICA WHICH WAS

CALLED THE UTICA DAGUERREAN ASSOCIATION, UTICA , N.Y. DEC 14, 1849. IN

MARCH 1851 BR DDT DAVIE RETURNED FROM WASHINGTON WITH HIS GRAND

EXHIBITION OF...LIGHT PRINTINGS OF THE 31ST CONGRESS AND WHEN

FOREN DIGNITARIESWHICH CREATED A PERFECT PANIC FOR PICTURES. WE

WERE DRIVEN WITH WORK TO THAT EXTENT THAT I DID NOT GO TO DINNER

THE WHOLE SUMMER BUT WOULD CONTENT MYSELF WITH A BRANDY PIE

WHICH MADE THINGS LIVELY SO LONG AS THE BRANDY EXTENDED ITS

INFLUENCE SO THAT BY THE FOLLOWING FALL



....FADED LINE..... I WAS (?)



PERMANENTLY CONTRACTED FOR THAT KIND OF STIMULANT AND I AT ONCE

MADE UP MY MIND TO QUIT IT. I ALSO MADE A CONTRACT WITH MYSELF TO

ABANDON ALL KINDS OF STIMULATES EXCEPT TOBACCO OR AT LEAST TO

SHUN EVERY KIND OF ALCOHOLIC DRINK. I FULFILLED THAT CONTRACT FOR

25 (?) YEARS SINCE THEN UP TO THE PRESENT TIME JANUARY 1879 I HAVE

INDULGED TO A VERY LIMITED EXTENT THOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A

RELISH FOR GOOD LIQUOR. IN NOV 1850 I WENT HOME TO BOLIVAR

ALLEGANY CO. ON A VISIT AND TO GET A WIFE. WAS MARRIED DEC 2 1850 BY

A P STETSON AT THE RESIDENCE OF AZUBAH CHAPIN OF BOLIVAR N.Y.

THREE DAYS LATER I RETURNED TO UTICA WHERE I RESUMED MY FORMER

BUSINESS WITH MY BR DDT DAVIE UNTIL JANUARY 1, 1851. I HIRED THE

GALLERY OF HIM FOR 1 YEAR FOR THE SUM OF $500.00 AND IN MAY 1851 I

COMMENSED HOUSEKEEPING IN NO 11 SPRING STREET UTICA, N.Y. MR IRA

GATES OUR LANDLORD OCCUPIED PART OF THE SAME HOUSE. THE GALLERY

ENTERPRISE PROVED BE A FINANCIAL SUCCESS WHICH ENABLED ME TO

ESTABLISH A GALLERY OF MY OWN. IN APRIL 1851 I ESTABLISHED THE

LARGEST AND BEST GALLERY WEST OF ALBANY, N.Y. IT WAS LOCATED IN

THE FRANKLIN BUILDINGS GENESEE ST SYRACUSE, N.Y. THIS PROVED A

SUCCESS UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. SICK WITH AGUE WHICH

FINALLY DEGENERATED INTO A BILLIOUS LIVING WHICH KEPT ME ON MY BED

FOR EIGHT MONTHS DURING WICH TIME MY OPPERATIONS RUN ME IN DEBT

FOR STOCK AND EXPENSE AND I HAD APPROPRIATED THE RECEIPT OF THE

BUSINESS TO THARE OWN USE TO THE EXTENT THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE

FOR ME TO REVIVE THE BUSINESS AGAIN AND CONSEQUENTLY WAS UNDER

THE NECESSITY OF SELLING OUT. I PUT THE GALLERY ON THE MARKET AND

SOLD OUT IN A FEW DAYS AND AFTER PAYING UP MY DEBTS I HAD THREE

AND 88\100 DOLLARS LEFT OUT OF THE THREE THOUSAND WHICH I

INVESTED. WHILE I WAS THUS ENGAGED IN CLOSING OUT THIS SYRACUSE

GALLERY, I HAD AN OFFER FROM M. B. BRADY OF NEW YORK OF $16 PR.

WEEK TO SUPERINTEND HIS OPERATING DEPARTMENT AND MAKE HIS

CHEMICALS SO I IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED TO MR B. AFTER THREE WEEKS HE

ADVANCED MY WAGES TO $20 PER WEEK. I REMAINED WITH MR BRADY FOR

ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS AFTER WHICH I MOVED BACK TO BOLIVAR, N.Y.

WHERE I ENGAGED IN FARMING AND DAGGUERRE TYPING. ON LEAVING MR

BRADY HE REQUESTED ME TO GO INTO HIS STOCK-ROOM AND SELECT ME A

COUNTRY FIT OUT FOR TAKING PICTURTES AS HE WISH TO MAKE ME A

PRESENT OF THE SAME AND IN COMPLIANCE (I WENT_ AND SELECTED A 1\2

SIZE HARRISON CAMARA AND CORRESPONDING TRAPS TO THE AMOUNT OF

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) WHICH HE TRULY AND CHEERFULLY

PRESENTED TO ME AS A TOKEN OF HIS APPRECIATION OF MY EFFORTS

WHILE I WAS ENGAGED TO HIM AND AS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE I BAD HIM

AND HIS MEN (TO WHOM I HAD BECOME VERY MUCH ATTACHED) A

RELUCTANT FAREWELL AND ON THE FOLLOWING DAY..I TOOK PASSAGE ON

THE N.Y AND ERIE RROAD FOR BOLIVAR NEW YORK MY NATIVE AND

COUNTRY HOME.







WELL HERE I AM ON A FARM WITHOUT A HOUSE TO LIVE IN WITHOUT TEAM,

TOOLS OR STOCK OR ANYTHING TO LIVE UPON. IN THE SPRING OF 1854 I

BUILT A HOUSE WITH A NICE SELLUR UNDER IT THE WHOLE SIZE 24 FEET

SQUARE WHICH WAS QUITE COMFORTABLE FOR OUR SMALL FAMILY. MY

FIRST EXPERIENCE IN COUNTRY OPERATING WAS AT THE BOLIVAR HOTEL

WHICH WAS KEPT AT THE TIME BY HIRAM BEARS. I HAD A GOOD RESULT THE

GREATEST PART OF THE SEASON. IN SEPTEMBER 1854 I TOOK A G WILLIAMS

IN AND LOCATED ANGELICA, N.Y. WHERE WE FOUND GOOD BUSINESS AND

REMAINED THREE WEEKS THEN MOVED TO BELFAST DURING THE COUNTY

FARE FROM BELFAST WE MOVED TO SHONGO, TOWN OF WILLING AND

FINALLY CLOSED UP OUR ENGAGEMENT OR PARTNERSHIP AT HONEYOY

FORKS AND WENT INTO WINTER QUARTERS. IN APRIL OF 1855 BOT THE REAR

PART OF D.A. NEWTONS STORE AND MOVED IT ACROSS THE STREET ON A. G.

WILLIAMS LOT AND FITTED IT UP WITH A NICE SIDE AND SKY LIGHT

COMBINED WHICH I KEPT IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR TWO YEARS

AFTER WHICH I SOLD THE BUILDING TO S D WILLIAMS WHO WORKED IT INTO

A WHISKY



RECTYFYING ESTABLISHMENT. WILLIAMS OCCUPIED THE BUILDING ONE

YEAR AND IN MAY 1856 I BOT THE BUILDING AGAIN AND RESUMED

PHOTOGRAPHING AGAIN WHICH I CONTINUED UNTIL THE JANUARY 10TH

1857. AGAIN ENTERED INTO PARTERNERSHIP WITH MY BR DDT DAVIE IN THE

DEVEREAUX BLOCK UTICA, N.Y. WE INTRODUCED LIFE SIZE PHOTOGRAPHS

COLORED IN OIL COLLORS. COLORED BY ALEXANDER FRANCORS AND HIS

FATHER. WE SOLD THE FIRST TO ALRIC HUBBELL FOR $100 JULY 12, 1857. AT

THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR I BOT OUT MY BRO INTEREST IN THE GALLERY FOR

FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ($1500.00) I TOOK POSSESSION THE 10 OF

JANUARY 1858 AND CONTINUED THE BUSINESS UNTILL MAY 28 1859 WHEN I

SOLD OUT TO ONE OF MY PUPILS B W RAYMOND OF CEDARVILLE N.Y. AND

MOVED BACK ON THE FARM IN BOLIVAR, N.Y. WHARE I LOACTED

PERMINENTLY. I BOT 2 COWS A PAIR OF STEARES AND A FEW SHEEP TO

START IN WITH SO THAT AT THE END OF TWO YEARS I HAD ACCUMULATED A

NICE LITTLE STOCK AND A PAIR OF YOUNG HORSES. IN 1859 I CLEARED 25

ACRES OF LAND WHICH ENABLED ME TO INCREASE MY STOCK TO 25 HEAD

OF CATTLE AND 30 TO 50 HEAD OF SHEEP. IN 1860 I BUILT A CATTLE BARN 33

1\2 FEET BY 23 1\2 FEET AND IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUED

PHOTOGRAPHING A PART OF THE TIME UNTIL SEPTEMBER 11, 1864 I

ENCLISTED IN THE ARMY AS A MEMBER OF THE FIRST BRIGADE BAND

HARDINGS DIVISION AND 21ST ARMY CORPSE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF C E

LESURE OF BOLIVAR, ALLEGANY CO N.Y. AFTER FILLING OUR QUOTA OF

500.O00 MEN (OR) TROOPS WE WENT TO ROCHESTER NY WHARE WE

ENLISTED FOR ONE YEAR OR DURING THE WAR TO FILL THE QUOTA FOR THE

TOWN OF RIGA MONROE CO. N.Y. FOR WHICH WE RECEIVED A BOUNTY OF

$500.00 FROM THE COUNTY OF MONROE AND $300.00 FROM THE TOWN OF

RIGA IN SAID COUNTY WHICH IN THE AGREGATE AMOUNTS TO $800.00. WE

WERE MUSTERED INTO SERVICE IN OCTOBER 1864 BUT WAS DETAINED IN

OUR STATE UNDER ARMS AT ELMIRA UNTIL A SHORT TIME BEFORE

ELECTIONS. WE WERE PERMITTED TO GO HOME ON A FURLO TO ELECTION

AFTER WHICH WE WERE SENT ON TH FORT RENO NEAR TENELLIA TOWN

SOME FOUR MILES FROM WASHINGTON D.C. WHARE WE WENT INTO

COMFORTABLE WINTER QUARTERS WHARE WE REMAINED UNTIL APRIL 1865

WE WERE MOVED TO FORT SLOCUM WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MILES FROM FORT

RENO. WE REMAINED AT FORT SLOCUM UNTIL JULY 12 1865 WHEN WE

WERE DISCHARGED. I RETURNED HOME TO BOLIVAR JUNE 15 1865 AND

IMMEDIATELY RESUMED MY FORMER OPERATIONS FARMING AND

PHOTOGRAPHING. BROTHER DDT DAVIE



VISITED ME FROM NEW YORK THE LAST OF SEPTEMBER 1865 AND STAYED

SIX WEEKS



AND ASSISTED ME IN TAKING PICTURES AT MY OLD STAND IN BOLIVAR

WHARE I CONTINUED UNTIL THE NEXT SPRING WHEN I GAVE MOST OF MY

ATTENTION TO FARMING. PROCUCE WAS SO EXTREMELY HIGH THAT

FARMING WAS THE BEST BRANCH OF MY BUSINESS. DURING THE SUMMERS

OF 1866 AND 1867 I WORKED IN THE GALLERY BUT ONE DAY EACH WEEK (ON

FRIDAY) THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME I SPENT ON THE FARM. DURING THAT

TIME I TRAVELED TAKING PICTURES THROUGH THE COUNTRY WINTERS

MORE OR LESS UP TO 1875.



IN 1867 I SOLD MY GALLERY IN BOLIVAR VILLAGE AND BUILT AN ADDITION OR

UPRIGHT PART TO MY HOUSE AND ARRANGED THE UPPER PART INTO A SUIT

OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ROOMS WITH A SIDE AND SKY LIGHT COMBINED. IN

MARCH 1867 UNCLE DAVID CHAPIN CAME TO LIVE WITH ME, HE PROPOSED TO

HELP ME TO MONEY TO HELP BUILD MY HOUSE WITH ME. HE LET ME $100.00

FOR WHICH HE PROMISED TO BOARD OUT. HE STAYED UNTIL THE

FOLLOWING NOVEMBER WHEN HE LEFT WITHOUT SETTLING HIS BILL. HE

SOLD HIS ACCT. TO HIS SON CHAS. CHAPIN AND HASTENED TO THE FAR

WEST WHERE HE DIED TWO YEARS LATER. SO MUCH FOR HIS HONESTY.



IN OCT 1867 BR DDT DAVIE EXPLODED 4 LBS OF GUN.COTTON (ACCIDENTLY)

WHILE WEIGHING AND PACKING IN HIS LABORATORY IN NEW YORK. THIE

SHOCK AND BURNS IMPAIRED HIS RIGHT HAND SO AS TO RENDER HIM A

COMPOUND CRIPPLE- HIS LEFT HAND BEING CRIPPLED WHEN HE WAS A BOY

SO AS TO RENDER IT ENTIRELY USELESS. HEW WAS THAREFORE UNABLE TO

TAKE CARE OF HISELF SO HE CAME TO ME FOR CARE AND TREATMENT IN

NOV 1867 AND REMAINED WITH ME UNTIL JULY 1868 WHEN HIS RIGHT HAND

PARTIALLY RECOVERED SO AS TO ENABLE HIM TO DO A LITTLE WORK.



IN 1871 I TRADED FARMS WITH SAMUEL DAVIE MADE A CONTRACT TO PAY

HIM $2000.00 BOOT. I ARRANGED WITH MR RUSSEL OF BELMONT FOR MONEY

TO PAY THE BOOT- SAID ARRANGEMENT WAS TO GIVE A MORTGAGE ON THE

FARM TO SECURE THE PAYMENT. BUT MY GOOD FRIENDS C.B DAVIE AND

WILLIAM DAVIE OUT OF GEALOUSEY AND SELFISH MOTIVES SUCCEEDED IN

BREAKING UP THE TRADE. DURING THE SUMMER I ACQUIRED A

CONSIDERABLE EQUITY BY WAY OF IMPROVING THE FARM BY CLEARING

AND CUTTING ENORMOUS DITCHES ONE OF WHICH WAS 40 RODS IN LENGTH

FIVE FEET WIDE AND THREE TO FOUR FEET DEEP WITH A SUFFICIENT

AMOUNT OF WATER TO FLOAT A PLANK AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE

AMOUNT OF FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS . AFTER SECURING THE CROPS IN THE

BARNS I MOVED BACK TO MY OLD FARM AND IN A SHORT TIME MY GOOD

FRIENDS (REFERRED TO ABOVE) INFLUENCED MY FATHER TO SELL MY

PRODUCE ON THE FARM I HAD BOT. I WAS THEREFORE COMPELLED TO SUE

MY FATHER IN THE COUNTY COURT IN ORDER TO GET A SETTLEMENT THE

RESULTS WAS I ACCEPTED A PROPOSITION TO TAKE THREE HUNDRED

DOLLARS INSTED OF FOUR HUNDRED WHICH REALLY BELONGED TO ME.







NOTE; THIS ACCOUNT WAS SUMMARIZED BY CARRIE COWLES, JOSEPHS

DAUGHTER, BUT THE ORIGINAL ALONG WITH HIS DIARY AND ACCOUNT BOOK

WAS FOUND IN THE ATTIC OF A HOUSE IN FRIENDSHIP, NY WHERE HIS

GRANDAUGHTER, BERTHA DAVIE TUTTLE LIVED UNTIL HER DEATH.

APPARENTLY HER FATHER , SAM DAVIE, ACQUIRED IT. JOSEPH WROTE THE

ABOVE IN 1879 ( AND SHRTLY AFTER ?) THE MENTIONED DIARY WAS A

FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF HIS FAMILY LIFE IN SPRING OF 1873 FRAUGHT

WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY SUFFERING BRONCHITIS FOLLOWWED BY

SCARLET FEVER FOR THE CHILDREN. AND JOSEPH "TAPING" 170 MAPLE

TREES IN A DAY WITH HOMEMADE WOODEN BUCKETS AND HIS EVER

HELPFUL SON "SAMMIE" AGE 17, HELPING. THIS WAS COPIED LONGHAND AS

THE INK WAS SO FADED TO MAKE MECHANICAL COPYING IMPOSSIBLE; TWO

PLACES ARE BLANK BY ONE LINE. SPELLING WAS DUPLICATED AS POSSIBLE

AND THOUGH SME DATES ARE QUESTIONABLE THEY CAN BE NOTED ON

COPIES. JOSEPH SAMUEL DAVIE DIED APRIL 21, 1899.

#11. HISTORY







HISTORY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY PUBLISHED 1895



REGARDING DAVIE FAMILY...............

Samuel Davie a well known character came to Bolivar March 23, 1823 from

Unadilla, he having moved there with his parents from New Jersey, where he was

born Feb 14, 1794. He constructed a log house and returned for his family the

following June arriving with them in July 1823.He first settled on the farm now

owned by E R Kilbury across the creek, sometimes called the Wilbur farm. Some

claim there was already a log house built on the farm on which he settled, but the

writer is convinced such was not the case. On his return from Unadilla he brought

the first span of horses owned in Bolivar. When Mr Davie was first at Friendship

he bought the farm above mentioned of persons representing themselves to be

agents of the Philadelphia Land Co. But about 5 years afterward the true agents of

the Company satisfied Mr Davie that he had been imposed upon and that his title

was worthless. Mr Davie had to part with his span of horses as part payment of

the second purchase. The true agents however refused to take more than the

original price of the land, $3.00 per acre. Mr Davie considered this a generous act

as the land had considerably advanced by reason of settlers coming in and the

fact that he had made great improvements upon his farm. He died at the

residence of A G Williams in Bolivar, April 20, 1875. William Davie, the eldest son

was born in Cherry Valley in 1821, came to Bolivar in 1823. Samuel Davie wifes

maiden name was Sisson and she had three sisters; Sally, who married James

Davie; Sophia, who so far as was known never married; and Eva who married

John Mead Sr. Samuel Davie and his wife were parents of eleven children; Betsy,

who married Charles Cowles; Tompkins, who married Azubah Burdick; William,

who married Angenette Montrose; Joseph, who married Mercia Chapin; Mary C ,

who married A G Williams; Almira, who married John J Jordan; Charles, who

married Clarissa Barnes;]Chester, who married Lydia Fairbanks; Martha J, who

married Rockwell Williams; Emily who died at age 15 yrs & James who died at

about 1 yr, making a family of nine children, 5 boys and 4 girls, who grew to

manhood and womanhood rearing families of from three to ten children. At this

date nearly everyone of their grandchildren are married as well as many of their

great-grandchildren. Therefore to write a comprehensive history of the Davie

family as founded by Samuel Davie and wife here in Bolivar would require more

space than we are permitted and tax your indulgence as the families of the Davie,

Williams, Jordan, Mead and Cowles are numerous indeed.It may however be of

some interest to recall some of the countless interesting incidents in the lives of

Samuel and Jane Davie who came to Bolivar as stated in 1923 and out of the

virgin forest created a home for and reared their family of ten children. He with

his own hands felled the trees while she with hers ministered to her healthy

brood, yet between mending , cooking, and teaching she found time to add to

their income by spinning, weaving and knitting for others and for them was a

mid-wife when neighbors wives bore children, and was noted for her generosity

and charity.Devoted to her church work and acts of kindness that those who are

living today that knew her are eager to testify to. It is also a matter of historythat

Samuel Davie entered into a compact with his brother-in-law, John Mead,that

during the War of 1812 one of them at least should be constantly in the service of

his country, and the one at home should care for the family of the absent one. And

this agreement was faithfully lived up to. In 1863 when our Civil War got into such

a condition that President Lincoln issued a call for three hundred thousand more

men, Samuel Davie then 69 years old,walked from his home in Bolivar to Cuba to

enlist, and accepted, actually mustered into service as under 45 yrs of age, that

being the age limit the government would accept men for service. On hearing of

this enlistment three of his sons, William, Joseph and Chester hastened to Cuba

to secure his discharge, stopping on the way at Clarksville for John Jordan wheo

they took with them. At first the officers refused to release him, but upon being

convinced that his age was against him they reluctantly released him. the

commanding officer remarking when he did so; "I would rather have parted with

any three men in my command than to part with this rugged, determined old

hero". It was always a thorn in the old mans side to think they would not let him

go.It would be interesting to any person, old or young to hear this story told by

his son Chester Davie, who by the way is the only livingmember of this noted

family, all of which except two, William and Martha J are buried in the Bolivar

Cemetery.







EXCERPTS FROM; " THE TOWN OF BOLIVAR " AS WRITTEN IN THE "HISTORY

OF ALLEGANY COUNTY", NEW YORK, 1895







Another well remembered early settler was Samuel Davie who was born in New

Jersey, Feb 14, 1794. His parents moved to Otsego county when he was quite

young. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, serving four months and twenty-eight

days, and mustered out at Queenstown at the close of the War. Having bought a

piece of land in Bolivar (part of lot number 62) on which was a small house of logs

but no clearing, he came out in March 1823, cleared a small piece and made a

garden and planted some corn. About the first of June he started for Otsego

County for his family and returned within a month bringing with him a team of

horses which was the first brought to that section. During the late war he enlisted

as a soldier and was accepted of his representation that he was only forty-four

years of age. When told that he appeared much older he offered to prove his

youthfulness by a trial of strength with the "best man in the crowd". Through the

influence of his son he was persuaded to return home and abandon his warlike

project. He died April 20, 1875. Charles Cowles, came from Stueben county and

James Davie from Otsego county, settled in the town in 1833, the latter on lot

number 54.The sale of skins and venision paid for most of the necessaries of life

which the settlers obtained of the merchants. Soon after his settlement in the

town James Davie found himself in straitened circumstances; but being an

expert hunter he killed enought deer to make a load, which he hauled to Cuba and

traded for the supplies of various kinds.

The Bolivar Cemetery; The grounds selected and purchased for cemetery

purposes consist of between two and three acres of the land of Eli and Cyrus E

Lesuer and James Davie, immediately surrounding the old cemetery, which

included about 3\4 of an acre, and are pleasantly located about a half mile south

of Bolivar Village on the road to Ceres and can be easily enlarged as necessity

may require.C B Davie was born in Bolivar in 1830 and married in 1855 to Clarissa

Barnes of the same town. He is a lumberman and farmer; has been town auditor

two yrs, inspector of elections five yrs and excise commissioner one yr.







Sacrificed for the Union: L Sanford Davie, died at Fairfax Courthouse.







Alpheus G Williams was born in Watertown, Jefferson county, NY Nov 29, 1820.

He came to Angelica, Allegany county in 1844 and first came to Bolivar in 1846.

His first business in Allegany county was that of Clerk



in Hartshorns Hotel in Angelica. He kept a Hotel at Friendship two years; he was

afterwards engaged in the same business in Rushford three years. He was

proprietor of the hotel at Bolivar from 1852 to 1856. He was deputy



sheriff under Gamaliel Benjamin from 1852 to 1855 and also under S N Bennett .

He was married Sept 27 1847 to Miss Mary Davie, daughter of Samuel Davie one of

the early settlers of Bolivar. She died March 23, 1857. He afterwards married Miss

Mary J Davie, a daughter of James Davie.
