3051	. WILL of Richard Griffin married Susanna Haight, daughter of Nicholas Haight, of Flushing, Long Island. Richard appears to have spent his life at Flushing according to some records, & accumulated considerable property. He had a family of 15 children. He died in I722 or 1723, In his WILL, dated October 27, 1722, & was probated February 5, 1723, he mentions Susanna & 14 children. He does not mention his third child, Richard, & it is supposed that he died earlier. He made two specific bequests. First to "my eldest son, Samuel, £30 to be paid him next third month" & to "son Joshua £20 when he comes out of his apprenticeship." Then he bequeaths, "To my dear & loving wife Susanna, all my lands, housings, orchards & meadows with all the rest of my estate, real & personal, whatsoever, wholly to dispose of & use as she shall think best for the bringing up of my children, & if she die my widow she shall have full power to distribute whatever of my estate may be remaining, but if she chance to marry again then she shall have one-third of all when the land & housing is sold & all in a condition to be divided. . During the revolution, a number of the sons in the 7th generation of American Griffins who lived in the Nine Partners, New York were Loyalists. Isaiah's sons, Joseph & Charles, were in Jessup's Royal Rangers, Samuel, being too young, had remained on the farm in Charlotte County. Joseph & Charles, as well as some of their cousins, were imprisoned in Albany's jail. William Griffin, a farmer in Charlotte County, was "committed as a dangerous person, examined & recommitted", a petition in his favor, & he was released on bail" Ref: MINUTES of the Commissioners for Detecting & Defeating Conspiracies in the State of New York, vol. 11, 1780-81. . The Exodus to Canada Isaiah Griffin's sons. Joseph & Charles, as well as some imprisoned cousins, escaped & rejoined Jessup's Royal Rangers. This group moved up the Hudson River & took refuge in Quebec. Samuel Griffin was granted as an United Empire Loyalist Lot 4, Con 2, Elizabethtown, Yonge Twp., Leeds Co., Ontario. . Richard Griffin, eldest son of Edward, born June 22, 1732, was a school teacher, farmer & miller. He married Mary Smith, daughter of Judge Abraham Smith, New York. They had 12 children, 7 sons & 5 daughters, all of whom, except the eldest daughter, came to Canada in 1786. Early in that year Richard & his second son, Edward, then 22 years of age, came over & selected as their future home the site of the present village of Smithville, South Grimsby, Lincoln Co., where the family was allotted 800 acres of land. The father then returned to Duchess County for the rest of the family, leaving Edward alone in the vast wilderness, which he lived to see become a well populated & prosperous settlement. The arrangements for moving & the wearisome journey through a wild country occupied six months. Part of the family came by barges up lake Ontario from Rochester to Niagara, bringing their mill machinery, & the others followed the Indian trail, bringing their live stock through the forest, western New York not being then settled. Rochester consisted of little more than a blacksmith shop & a tavern. The settlement of this family in South Grimsby became known as the Griffin Settlement, & is sometimes yet called Griffinville, though they themselves called it Smithville, in honor of their mother. Great was the rejoicing of Edward on the arrival of his relatives, for a lonely time had been his lot, though he had kept himself busy building a log house & manufacturing rude furniture to make it as civilized as possible. Richard lived long enough to see his family well established in this pioneer home & several of them married. He died in 1794, aged 62 years. Most of his children lived to very advanced age. Edward, the pioneer of pioneers, died Aug. 13, 1862, aged 98 years, as his Monument in the Methodist churchyard states. . An essay written in 1878 by Mr. Abishai Moore tells of their efforts. The following extract from the essay summarizes the facts : "In or about 1792 a Methodist class was organized in Smithville, or as it was then called, Griffin Settlement. There was a large family of these Griffins, & they appear to have had considerable influence in the community in those days. They all became members of the class, & proceeded, as was the custom among those early Methodists, to go out into the highways & seek those to whom they could tell the glad tidings. In a short time the little class at Griffin Settlement became an important institution in the locality, & many of the leading families of the district became connected with it, among them being the Merritts, Johnsons & Wrongs. - - -	GRIFFIN, Richard Sr. (I224)
3052	. "Died, at Vittorio, on Friday, the 21st inst. after a long and painful illness, which she bore with true Christian resignation, Helen W. R. Tisdale, daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret Tisdale, in the 45th year of her age. Deceased was one of the most remarkable causes of extreme suffering to which our frail humanity can be subject. Torn from her youthful expectations, and thrown upon a bed of suffering, from which she was never raised even to a sitting position for the long period of twenty eight years -suffering, almost without cessation, the most excruciating pain, for which sore affliction she was never known to murmur or question Divine justice - always trusting in the merits of a kind Redeemer for a happy release when the earthy dissolution should come, deriving consolation from her Bible and Prayer Book, of which she was a constant reader, and firm disciple of the Church of England, in which faith, with a full assurance of a happy resurrection to eternal life, she breathed her last, being the first of a family of ten and surrounded by her brothers and sisters - retaining through all her suffering to the last the full powers of her mental faculties, the amiability and brilliancy of which are most fully displayed in her early school girl days." - - -	TISDALE, Helen Wycoff Rappelje (I154)

History of Warren County, New Jersey An Indian trail known as the "Minisinks' Path" ran across this township from the gap in the mountains above Sand Pond to Marksboro, & on past Allamuchy & Budd's Lake to Elizabeth. It was wide enough for men to travel in on horseback when first visited by white men in 1715. It was along this path over the mountains that the early settlers in Hardwick had to take their grain to mill on horseback to the earlier settlement in Pahaquarry. The settlers of the Paulins Kill Valley in this township were nearly all Germans. The first settlers came about 1740. John Teel & John Mingle both located here about 1755. Jacob Armstrong was at one time owner of the larger part of what is now Hardwick Township. In 1771 a church was built at Stillwater, then in Hardwick, for the use of the German Lutheran & German Calvinist congregations, who worshipped on alternate Sundays. > At a Supreme Court held at Philadelphia for the Province of Pennsylvania, before Wm.

Dr. Talman Wheeler established the “Teetzel Orchard” where he grew peaches & other fruit crops. These were the area's first formal peach orchards; they began bearing fruit in 1852. By 1855 several thousand baskets of peaches - mostly Crawfords - were being shipped to Chicago annually. The fruit was sold for three dollars per bushel; the peaches were then peddled by street vendors for ten cents each. When news of the growing qualities of south western Michigan reached points east, a steady stream of families moved to the area to try their hand at growing peaches. When the Civil War began, (1863) the departure of men joining the army created a shortage of manpower to work the state's farms. .... New sawmills produced apple barrels & peach baskets. The peach also was responsible, in large part, for the founding & early growth of Benton Harbor. Sometimes the profits form one peach crop paid for the entire land they were grow on on. ...

The cut on this pate shows the Teetzel Well Auger with the new drilling attachment as used on all the combined machines now by by the Globe Well Works of Ottawa, Illinois. The same attachment can be added to the old machines made by them at a small expense. The drill as now operated is believed to be the most complete & practical device for drilling through roc of any yet made, as it works faster with the least lost of time or power. The manufactures in their circular describe it as follows: A ratchet arm is fastened on the end of a shaft driven by a sprocket chain & intermediate gear & comes in contact with the rope to which the drill is attached, while making a sweeping movement, thereby raising the drill until the arm passes the perpendicular when it disengages itself in the ratchet & the drill is dropped, the arm being thrown around just in time to catch the drill on rebound, & the operation is repeated." To those familiar with well making apparatus this may be very plain, but to many others it will not be so easily understood. It is plain & simple enough, however, when seen in operation. The same apparatus in general is used to operate this as is used to operate the TEETZEL WELL AUGER which has the great advantage over all others of removing the dirt as fast as it is bored without taking the boring rod or shaft from the well. In operating some well machines in less than less the time is spent in taking the shaft to pieces to get the dirt out & in putting it together again. The advantages of using the one here described is apparent. For full information write the Well Works, Ottawa, Illinois. .

Ref: Acton Free Press, age 3, column 3 . . 1919 Feb 6, IN MEMORIAM ELSIE VIOLA McCutcheon On Wednesday evening, 22nd January, 1919, at her father's home, 3rd line, Erin Township, the death occurred of Elsie V. McCutcheon, eldest daughter of Mr. Hugh McCutcheon, at the early age of 14 years. Her illness extended over 5months & was borne with heroic patience & cheerfulness. Early in December she underwent an operation in Queen Alexandra Hospital, Fergus, & her condition seemed to improve for a time, but a recurrence of the disease soon took place. Her sufferings became more & more intense until death finally released her. Throughout her illness she greatly enjoyed meeting her girlhood friends & companions whom she recognized & welcomed to the last. Elsie was always somewhat delicate in health, but her mind was ever keen & alert. She passed her entrance examination in June, 1917, & afterwards took up continuation work for a year. She then devoted her whole time to music, a subject in which she was particularly gifted. At school Elsie was a general favorite. Her gentle & amiable disposition won for her the admiration & affection of all with whom she came in contact. Her capability & willingness to accept any part assigned her made her services a valuable asset in preparing for entertainments in church & school & in this capacity she will be greatly missed. The general esteem in which she was held is evinced by the gloom which her early death has cast over the entire neighborhood. Her sorrowing parents & sister have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. The funeral on Saturday to Churchill Cemetery was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Wilson assisted by Rev. R. E. Jones. Several anthems appropriate to the occasion were rendered by a male quartette led by Mr. A. T. Mann. The floral tributes were beautiful.

A frame Methodist Church was built on east corn of the lot. A log parsonage was built about opposite the Cemetery Gates. It was ready in the summer of 1856, when Rev. Joseph Hiltz & family arrived, their first minister. It was the home of succeeding ministers until about 1886, when the Belwood parsonage was used. The stone parsonage was built in 1862.
