Notes for Samuel Brooks Sr
ORVIS, HEDDING, and DELONG were the only three families residing here until the spring of 1796, when James VARNEY settled on the farm now owned by Irvin COLBY, and Samuel EASTMAN on the farm owned by Charles C. LEE. Jedediah DURFEY settled on the place where Elihu PURINTON now lives, the same spring or following winter. Samuel BROOKS and Wolcott BURNHAM settled here in 1797, the former on the place, or very near, where the school-house now stands in District No. 1. BURNHAM settled on the COWLES farm near his west barn. Thomas LEE settled on the farm with Samuel EASTMAN in 1799. Their houses stood very near the south side of the old orchard above Charles C. LEE's dwelling house. Thomas GOODRICH first came into town September 10, 1799, it being his nineteenth birthday, and resided some time with Thomas LEE and Samuel EASTMAN, and then built a log house and settled on the farm now owned by James BUTTERFIELD. Jonathan GOVE settled in that part of the town known as Gove Hill, in 1800, at which time there were only ninety-seven persons residing in town.
