Davis's, I about the year 1810: In or about 1810 o r 1811, Joseph Lueo and Oramel Dutler oomnienced the . settlement in tlio south-east part of the , town. A year or two after, Moses Pike | began a clearing on tho farm now oecu. pied by Frederiok P, Root, which ho sub. j scqucntly sold to Aaron Root, Timothy j Tyler started a clearing in 1S10 on tho | adjoining farm, afienvard cleared up and occupied by Dudley-Root; and the follow- ! ing year moved to tlio place on the east' side of the Ln.ke void', where lie lived till '; hu died, recently, at an advanced ago. | ltuwuND pArxDKRS 'came in the fol- • lott ing year, and settled upon the Lake , voatl, where he niw resides. I l'lilnumd II. Pialcigh sett'ed the same \ear on the place which Zenas Beecllo ' iiuw eccupii's, and was the first and the j best huttcr ever in tlie town. I Led Paige and Ezra Uruiyn settled ak-utWlor 1S12, at \West Ewcde.nl and Abijah Ca ; JI. 1 cited a mile west of the Lake road about the same time. Of the earlier settlers of Sweden there we;v (|iiite a number no t here named; hut no \ re.it prngreo had been made in settling ov clearing up the twMu when the war of 1^12 broke out. By that event, leading i.s it did to cutitiuual alarms of the inhabitants au'l IVeipunt leipiisitious upon litem to aid hi th e defense of the frontier, where .many rendered patriotic service, some were killed and'others wounded, further settlements were retard- ed, and those already made in a measure broken up. UctWc the close of the war, many had lcfi,,.sun.c temporarily, and otli- efs not tu return. With tho return of peaco commenced a now era i n the history of the town. Some impression had been made before, on the foiv-t, dense and tall, which ori^i-1 italiy eive.ed it; hit still it spread un- { b¥uk?n OUT by farlhe greater portion of I its surface; and the work of charing it | up and permanently settling uputi, re-! claiming and improving: the lands, was ter [ i ho most part yet to he accompli -In .1..

Very little of the land had I then been deeded, and it wa« with u'reat difficulty, and net without some shifts, i that freeholders enough could b'- found I or made to fill the town offices, for some time after. After the claw of tho war, a tide of emigration beg'.-, f j rush in : the popu- lation of the townwas sjon rapidly aug- mented ; an d the new settlers were gene- rally of a more substantial class, and bet- ter off than a majority of their predeces- sors.

Oftlioir ; rudeness, and th e wiklnoss of the coun- try bordering on them thon, it is difficult now for those who did not see them, to form an adequate conception. William WJI-B, A-.i>Bnbcock, Benjamin Tjabcock, Oliver Spencer and Edmund Spencer, Philip King and vYilliaui King, had set- tled in the westerly part of the town seme earlier than Hubert Staples. James White came the same year be did. Cliauncey Staples, Chewier \White and John White, located thcrea year or two after. I.i-vi POND settled there in the early part of lol\ bought out a previousoccu- pjiit, an l with Krastus Lawrence, who came in ISIS, cleared the farm ^uow oc- cupied by Lafayette Steves. Mr. Pond remained un the place several years; af- ter which he sold out to Mr. Lawrence and t euioved first to the Beach Kidge, on the west aide of the Lake road, and sub- sequently from tbenco to llrockporl, wl.t re he has sduce resided. In the central part of the town, a lit- tle to the west of die Lake road, l'eleg Thomas, son., and Alauson Thomas had s.itlcd timing or previous to the war, and Al.uia„u had a mill lor grinding corn ai.l grain on the farm now occupied by Ches- ter Iloberls. Dr. Daniel Avery and Steward lienuett settled in the same neighboihi'd in 1810. J.U the south-west part of the town, next to Bergen, Silas Parker, Sen., aud his sun Sila-, and Epaphas Merrill setttloJ in MO and 1317. A little farther north, to the west of the Lake road, Moses Stiekncy k-ated in 1815, and still re- rc-ides, at an advanced age. But little progress was made in the further settle- ment of that part of the town till a much later period. Janus Hart settled in that i.'.-yhluiihooM in Lslti, hut afterwards moved out to the Lake road, where he ~till resides.

Samuel 13i.,hop, be.li.ie named, a little to 11. .• south, were the only settlers then remaining in thai locality. Very little clearing had been done at this time in that part of the town ; there were no framed houses, and but one barn. The ap- proach to tho settlement was by a road of the moat primitive kind, turning east from the Lake road at John Reed's and then north to Bishop's, from which the under- brush only had been out out, the trees be- ing left standinc, and without bridges or cross ways. South of Bishop's, Calvin. J. Whilehcr, with his father, settled as early as 1810. Bela Butler, Daniol Butler, and Nathaniel Bangs, located in the same neighborhood about the same time.
