ANNA YEAKEL WAGNER [E 192] and her DESCENDANTS

[192] ANNA (JACKEL) WAGNER [E 192], b June, 1689 or 1692, of Nieder Harpersdorf; dau “Beyerhausz Jekel and Maria Hauptman, dau George Hauptman ;” m June 2, 1711, MELCHIOR WAGNER of Langneundorf. They had a small garden. On Jan. 29, 1726, they fled to Gorlitz [cf. Regent, Schwenkfeldiani in Ober Harpersdorf, sub regia Camera Silesiae, revisi, p 88, 1736, Pe Nov.]. Melchior Wagner died in Gorlitz, and his widow and children came to Pa. in 1737.

Anna Wagner died Mar. 16, 1749, aged 56 yrs., 9 mo., less 2 days, and is buried in Methacton Cemetery, near Fairview Village, Pa. It is likely that she lived with her sons, Dr. Abraham Wagner

[Plate G X], and Melchior Wagner [Plate G                    in Worcester Twp., Pa.

[192-1] ABRAHAM WAGENER, M.D. [E 193], b Mar. 22, 1715; d May 5, 1763; s Melchior and Anna (Jackel) Wagner [192]; m Apr. 6, 1749, by a Justice of the Peace, to MARIA KRIEBEL [E 83], b Feb. 5, 1726; d Mar. 19, 1760; dau Christoph and Maria (Heydrick) Kriebel [19]. Both Dr. Wagener and his wife Maria are buried in Methacton Cem. Dr. Wagener lived in Worcester Twp., Montg. Co. (Pa.), near Stump Hall School House [Plate G X]. No issue.

Dr. Abraham Wagener and Dr. Melchior Hubner [E 17] were the only two physicians in the list of immigrant Schwenkfelders. Through his mother, Anna Jackel, Dr. Wagener was a great grandson of the prominent Schwenkfelder, George Hauptman of Lauterseifen, Silesia. Dr. Wagener was one of the most learned men who came to Pennsylvania with the Schwenkfelder group. A Greek grammar deposited in the S. H. L. contains his signature showing that he was the owner of the book at the early age of twelve years.

Abraham Wagener began writing verse before he was eighteen years of age and continued the writing of poetry up to the time of his death; more than fifty of these poems have been preserved. Of the one hundred and nineteen hymns contributed by the Schwenkfelders to the Hymn Book of 1762, thirty-four were composed by Abraham Wagener, and thirteen were included in the edition of 1869, while only twenty-three of the whole number included in the 1762 edition were retained.

Dr. Wagener seems to have been an earnest, broad-minded Christian, and was a great reader. He collected poems of John Kelpius, wrote extensive biographical notes on Spener, and wrote a beauti­ful letter to Muhlenberg which is quoted in the “Hallesche Nachrichten.”

In a volume entitled “Religious Denominations of the United States and Great Britain,” (1861) Dr. Wagener is listed as a Schwenkfelder preacher. However, no evidence has been discovered to substantiate this statement. On the contrary we know that Dr. Wagener was not in accord with the strict views of George Weiss and his successor, Balthaser Hoffman, the first two Schwenkfelder minis­ters. He was considered an heretic, as he read a number of non-Schwenkfelder books, and no doubt influenced the various Beyer families, who were his neighbors, as well as his brother, Melchior, since they did not adhere to the Schwenkfelder doctrine and organization. Dr. Wagener was identified with the “Associated Brethren of the Skippack” who met at the house of Christopher Wiegner.

In addition to the many hymns contributed to the Bohemian Hymnbook, we know that Dr. Wagener wrote the following which bears the date of 1742: “Das kleine A. B. C. in der Schule Christi.”

Although Dr. Wagener was not in accord with the views of the Schwenkfelder ministers of his time, he seems not to have felt any animosity towards the Schwenkfelders as a whole. According to the B. H. Records in the S. H. L., Rev. Christopher Schultz preached the funeral sermon of Dr. Abraham Wagener, his text being Luke 23:11. From the same source we also learn that Maria Wagener, wife of Dr. Abraham Wagener, who died Mar. 19, 1760, was ill but eight days before her death.

The broad mindedness of the man is shown in his will. It has been stated that the will of Dr. Abraham Wagener was the most generous and benevolent of any of the immigrant Schwenkfelders. The original will which is preserved in the records of City Hall, Phila., is written in German, in the clear • handwriting of Dr. Wagener. The translation accompanying the will was made by his brother, Melchior Wagener.

That Dr. Wagener prized his books highly is shown by the detailed manner in which he disposed of them. . The bequest to the Pennsylvania Hospital of twenty pounds is even more generous than that which Benjamin Franklin, the founder, bequeathed to the same institution. In his will Dr. Wagener also bequeathed money to the poor and needy not only among the Schwenkfelders, but also among those of other denominations. The sum thus bequeathed amounted to £448. 12s. 3%d.; and the will directed that the entire sum should be distributed within ten or twelve years, but if it seemed best, fifteen or twenty pounds might be reserved for a few years longer for cases of necessity, exclusively among the Schwenkfelders. The testator named Hans Christopher Heebner in Worcester, Melchior Kriebel or his son, David, in North Wales, Christopher Kriebel in Skippack, and Melchior Schultz, Jr., in Goshenhoppen, as the distributors of this money. And it became a source of relief to hundreds of men and women without regard to profession or creed whether English or German, white or black, free or slave. Annually for ten years these distributions went into all that region lying between:New Jersey on the east and the Juniata Valley on the west, Allentown and Easton on the north, and Maryland on the south, and at least one sum of forty pounds went to the relief of the Schwenkfelders in Silesia.

From Christopher Heebner’s account we learn that this money (each of the four trustees dispensed about eighty-nine pounds together with some books) was distributed over a large area, covering places in Northampton, Lancaster, York, Berks, and Cumberland Counties in Pa., and also in New York. It was given to poor persons who had been unfortunate through accidents or fires, and also for the estab­lishment of schools and churches. Amongst the recipients of this fund we find the names of Christoph Schubert, Abraham Schubert, Melchior Krauss, Barbara Reinwald and Rosina Wiegnerin. [S. H. L.]

The will also provided that in the first year after the decease of the testator, ten pounds of this fund was to be expended for Bibles, New Testaments and Psalm books, German and English; Schwenk-felder, Lutheran and Reformed Hymn Books; and that these should be distributed to poor children and adults. Moreover, twenty pounds of the same fund was devised to the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia towards carrying on the charitable design of the said institution.

An instance of especial need in 1768 led to the establishment of the Schwenkfelder Charity Fund as we know it today. The first entry in the accounts of this fund was made on March 21, 1774, when £4.11s. 8d. was received as the balance of money previously accumulated, either by Sabbath contribu­tions or otherwise, for charitable purposes; and from 1774 to 1778 inclusive, the Wagener bequest annually yielded specific amounts to the fund.

The Wagener bequest is a unique example of broadminded, Christian charity in the Colonial History of Pennsylvania, and in a peculiar way emphasizes the spirit of fraternity which Schwenckfeld contended must pervade the community of Christian believers.

The original will is in German in the handwriting of Dr. Wagener. It was translated into English by Melchior Wagener. The appraisers were Jacob Umstat and Abraham Heiderich. The appraise-ment amounted to 1376 pounds, 14 shillings, and the increase at the sale of the estate was 138 pounds, 11 shillings, and 6 pence; the balance for distribution was 1345 pounds, 16 shillings, and 11 pence.

Mr. George Sheppard of Penn Yan, N. Y., has in his possession the Account Book of Dr. Abraham Wagener, which he used while practicing medicine in Worcester, Pa. That Dr. Wagener’s practice extended beyond the confines of his native township is shown by the following receipt which appears in “Heckler’s History of Lower Salford Township”:

“Receipt:—

To Doctors Wagner and Mayers for medc £0-2-3, 1763, the 21st day of March. Paid by the Overseer of the Poor of L. Salford.”

WILL OF ABRAHAM WAGENER
“In the Name of God, Amen.”

“The Sixth Day of March in the Year of our Lord 1762 I Abraham Wagener of Worcester in the County of Phila­delphia Medic.

For much of the data pertaining to the families of Melchior Wagener and his descendants who settled in New York State, the Editor is indebted to Mr. George S. Sheppard of Penn Yan, N.

Mr. Sheppard spent many years in gathering the material and without the aid of these”Shep-pard Manuscripts” it would have been impossible to complete these early family records.

For the services of Melchior Wagener in the Revolution, and also for other facts concerning his life, credit is due Mrs. Ethel (Hickman) Righter [192-304], who has spent much time in searching the records of that period.

The will was proved November 29, 1784, and is transcribed in Will Book No. 1, page 9. An inventory was filed November 29, 1784; and an account of the disposition of the estate was filed February 2, 1787. The name of the daughter’s, Susanna’s, husband is Philip Clumberg. About one-fourth of a page of the original will is missing, and a few words were also missing by portions of the paper being torn off in other places. Appearances indicate that the will was very much handled in its time.]

Peter Supplee who married Susanna Wagener was the sixth child of Hance and Magdaline Supplee. He was born in Upper Merion Twp., Montg. Co., Pa. When the Revolutionary War broke out Peter Supplee was living with his wife on the old Supplee homestead in Worcester Twp., Pa. He volunteered as a soldier in the Revolutionary army and joined Capt. Charles Wilson Peale’s Company of Philadel­phia Militia. This company belonged to the 4th Battalion of the Phila. Reg. of Foot. Jacob and John Supplee, his younger brothers, were also soldiers in the Revolutionary War and served in the same company with Peter. Jacob was the twelfth and John the thirteenth child of the family.

Peter Supplee died at Valley Forge on January 24, 1778; his remains were taken to Worcester and buried in the Bethel Cemetery. On November 28, 1903, a monument was erected over his grave by his descendants and bears the following inscription:

“In memory of Peter Supplee,
A Revolutionary Soldier,
Born Sept. 2nd, 1745, Enlisted Sept. 12, 1777,
Died whilst encamped at Valley Forge,
January 24, 1778,
A Martyr to Liberty.”

Peter Supplee was a descendant of Andris Souplis, a soldier and officer in the French army, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1684. For further data concerning the Supplee family and for Peter Supplee’s service in the Revolution, vid. Biographical Annals of Montg. Co. (Pa.), Vol. II, p 851 sqq.

[192-3b] SUSANNA (WAGENER) SUPPLEE, widow of Peter Supplee, Sr., m 2nd time, PHILIP CLUMBERG. Susanna Wagener Supplee and her daughter, Rachel, moved to Genesee Co., N. Y., sometime after the close of the Revolution, leaving her son, Peter, Jr., with his grandmother, Magdaline Supplee, at the old homestead in Worcester. Susanna is buried in the Sheppard lot in Penn Yan, N. Y.; the name on the tombstone is given as ,Susanna Clanford; the names of her children buried here are also given as Clanford; furthermore, she and her children conveyed property under the name of Clanford that had been conveyed to her under the name of Clumberg. In the record of a deed of property given her by her brother, David, in 1799, her name is given as Susanna Clumberge. [George Sheppard, Penn Yan, N. Y.]

From the above data it would seem that Susanna Wagener was married three times, but no other data concerning this marriage have been found.

The name of Srt. Philip Clumberg, Jr., is found in the list of Philadelphia Militia. This probably refers to the above named husband of Susanna (Wagener) Supplee.

“David Wagner in addition to inheriting his father’s farm in Worcester became the owner of another farm across the road from where he lived. In 1901 this farm was owned by James Cassel, and was tenanted by Irwin Evans. This was one of the oldest dwellings in Worcester, and was a stone farm house, the datestone having the inscription `Erected in 1733 by H. S. [Hance Supplee].’

“In 1781 the farm was conveyed by Andrew and Abraham Supplee to David Waggoner. In 1788 David Waggoner conveyed the same to Anna Waggoner and removed to the Genesee country in western New York. In 1792 Anna Waggoner, then of Jerusalem, Ontario Co., N. Y., through her attorney, Barnabus Bunn, sold the same in two parts. The larger part comprising 149% acres was sold to Benjamin Weber, and the smaller part or northern corner to Mordecai Jones; this latter part was included in what was recently known as the `Berks and Frick’ farms.

“According to Hance Supplee who was born in 1768, a council of war was held on the Cassel farm the day before the Battle of Germantown, of which he as a boy ten years of age was an eye witness. According to his story Gen. Nathaniel Greene had his headquarters near the house of Magdalena Supple, the boy’s grandmother, with whom he lived, near the Skippack road, Washington’s army being encamped in the neighborhood. Mr. Supplee stated that on October second he saw General Washington call on General Greene and that they had a long talk by themselves. The next day Washington called again with other officers on foot and mounted, and they went into the meadow. Forming a semi-circle they faced General Washington holding their swords in front of their faces. They stayed in this position for quite a long time, after which each officer went to his command, General Greene coming into the house and going to his room. The soldiers were encamped on the surrounding hills.

“The next morning not a soldier nor officer could be seen, but sounds of guns could be heard, as the Battle of Germantown was being fought. In the afternoon the soldiers were seen coming up the Skippack road in full retreat and were in a demoralized condition. At times they would travel very slowly, seeming ready to give out; then a report would come that they were being pursued by the British, and they would again go on a full run. A trooper was riding along up the road with a foot soldier riding behind, both on one horse. When opposite to where the boy stood, the hindmost soldier dropped off, but the cavalryman rode on as if he did not notice the loss of his companion. The foot soldier was found to be dead, having been shot through the body, and he was buried in the field by the roadside on the Supplee farm. The grandmother’s horses were taken to help on the retreat. The boy was sent to bring the horses back, but they were retained until the next day when they were returned safely.

“The boy described General Washington as a large heavy man, over six feet tall, with a dignified look, his face slightly marked with small pox. He said he heard that General Lee misbehaved himself at Monmouth and previous to that was not liked by his soldiers.

“The above narrative was told in 1844 by Hance Supplee to his grandson, Thomas R. Supplee.” [Edward Matthews.]

“On October 19, 1782, Jemima Wilkinson came to the home of David Wagener where she found a credulous and ready welcome among the Germans of that neighborhood, and Wagener became infatu­ated with her, she making her home at both of his farms. She and her followers lived at his expense till it is said they nearly ate him out of house and home.

“In 1797 David Wagener sold his abandoned farm in Worcester to David Styer of Whitpain. “Abraham Wagener, the younger brother, also removed to western New York, buying land upon the present site of the village of Penn Yan, and becoming very wealthy.

“Joseph Supplee, son of Samuel Supplee, who was a grandson of Hance Supplee, paid a visit to the home of Abraham Wagener, his uncle, in Penn Yan in the fall of 1831, traveling the entire distance of more than two hundred and fifty miles on foot in seven days. With a companion he started from Montgomery Square, Montg. Co., Pa., on November 11, arriving at their destination on November 17. He returned in the spring on horseback. Mr. Supplee also made a trip to Niagara Falls and Buffalo and wrote an interesting account, the manuscript of which was still extant a few years ago.” [Edward Matthews.]

DAVID WAGENER

[From an article published in “The Yates County Chronicle” in the year 1870]

“David Wagener, the common ancestor of the Wagener family of Yates County, was the son of `Melchoir and Gertraut’ Wagener, and was born in the township of Worcester, County of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, on the 13th day of January, 1752. (0. S.) From a partial autobiography in his own handwriting, a copy of which has been kindly furnished to the Yates County Historical Society, it appears that his family was a good and reputable one in those parts; that he resided with his father until about seventeen years of age, and as he says, `was brought up as a farmer’s son, and had no more learning than to scarcely read and write the German and English languages.’ About this time,’ he says, `also came the people called Methodists by whom I was greatly alarmed, as also many more in the neighborhood,’ and he speaks of opposition of parents and friends to his attendance upon the preaching of those early and earnest disciples of John Wesley. The opposition seems to have resulted in his going to Baltimore. This was about the year 1772. `When I came to Philadelphia,’ he continues, `the way seemed not open to go to New York, but a way was opened Southward. In a few days I set out for Baltimore, and I arrived with some danger on the waters, but was preserved; found no one in my travels that was any comfort to me until I had found in the city of Baltimore some of the people called Methodists, with whom I had great satisfaction. I was in this place about three months, in which time I was made to believe it was right for me to partake of the ancient ordinance in Gospel terms, and was baptized with water by one of the aforesaid ministers. But it was no essential part with me at that time nor is it yet, after which I had also a right to the Lord’s Supper, so called, which I also carefully and as I thought faithfully observed, and partook of often; but it also was not the bread & waters of life to my soul, as many believed it to be; there was still something greater than that I looked for; and could not find by all my seeking and doing, although I rose often comforted and strengthened to go yet forwards and not rest short of the true and living way which I thought was attainable. In this place I met with many tryals, also some of my friends would have me tarry. My father enquired much where I might be, and at length heard where I was. He soon sent a message after me, with letters of invitation to me to come home and live with him, promising Liberty to me if I came. Being overprevailed by his proffers, and also the advise of my friends here, I consented to return. My particular friends here were the ministers of the aforesaid people, which were Joseph Gilmor, John Ken—, Robert Williams, John Bordman, and Robert Strawbridge, by whom I was baptised.’

In the year 1774, he married at Philadelphia, Rebecca Supplee, daughter of Hans Supplee. Referring to this event he says: `When the Lord saw that the reignwas given to the lust of flesh and the pride of life he provided a companion for me of an honest, reputable family, who were also taken with the doctrine of the people called Methodists, of the name of Supplee, one of whose daughters was for me it appears, and after the acquaintance and so-called courtship of near four years, we were married to­gether according to the custom of the Episcopal church order by one Mr. Stringer of the city; then was the common saying made manifest after having taken a wife, therefore I cannot come. The Love and

Duty that should have been given to the Lord was given to a loving wife. ………………………………………………………………………………………………..  

For some years the worthy and excellent pioneer settler of the town of Milo had been attracted by the quiet and unobstrusive piety of the Friends, then numerous and powerful in Pennsylvania, of whom he remarks: `I had to seek yet further again, and found the principles of the once renowned people by the living God, called Quakers, to be nearest to the Scripture truths as I had been favored to understand them.’

And now, in year 1782, there came from Rhode Island to Philadelphia, with a retinue of Friends, an illustrious lady, Jemima Wilkinson, `The Public Universal Friend,’ who soon afterwards became the pioneer leader, whose mission it was to open the wilderness which then covered the soil of Yates County, and lead in the conversion of its forest-clad hills and valleys, threaded only by the Indian trail, into abodes of comfort and plenty. Concerning this visit David Wagener writes as follows:

`In the year 1782, ye 19th of ye 8th mo., came to my house in Worcester, The Public Universal Friend, accompanied by Thomas Hathaway, William Potter and his son Arnold and daughter, also William Turpin and Sarah Brown, from New England, Rhode Island State, all as entire strangers in this part of the world. They appeared as a people that feared God and worked Righteousness, and had the living Gospel of Jesus Christ among them, to deliver to the inhabitants of the world.’ This appears to have been the first visit of the Friend to Philadelphia. `The said Universal Friend tarried three days at my house, and had two public meetings at the Bethel meeting house. A great concourse of

people attended; the power of the Gospel was effectual to the conversion of all that heard. …………………………………………………..  
He says but a few followed, that his love towards the Friend was great. and `after the end of those days continuing with us, the Friend returned towards New England again and I accompanied them to Bethelehem and East-town, near on to fifty miles north from my house.’

The effect of the Friend’s discourses on his mind was decided and powerful. Referring to them he says: `When I heard the Gospel’s Trump sound, I knew it was the true sound, and that it was with great power from on high, even to the convincing and converting of souls that heard and obeyed the counsel delivered.’

In 1784 the Friend again visited Philadelphia, the record being as follows: `In the 8th mo., 1784 had knowledge of the Universal Friend and Ab’m Dayton, Eliz’s Holmes, Arnold Potter and Sarah Brown being in the city. Went down to see and hear them with renewed satisfaction. After a few days the Friend and all came to my house and had public meetings at my house and several other places and multitudes of hearers attended, truly such as never was known amongst us, but also many hearers, but very few doers. At this time I had opportunity of conversing and improving my much respected Friend, of whom I had heard the truth and the whole counsel of the Lord declared.’

Here the autobiographical sketch of the early life of David Wagener, written by himself at Worcester in or about the year 1787, closes, and this part of his history cannot be more feelingly supple­mented than in the following authentic letter from the Friend. The almost apostolic solemnity and fervent piety of this letter with the sinking of self and the exaltation of the love, power and majesty of the Deity, are of themselves sufficient to dissipate a host of calumnies and falsehoods with which ignorance or prejudiced bigotry have sought to cover the life and memory of the Friend.”

“South Kingston, ye 17th

of ye 9th mo. 1787

“The Universal Friend to David Wagener sendeth greeting:

“This comes with my love to thee and thy family. 0 do, dear soul, haste, Escape for thy Life; up! get thee out of this place for the Lord will destroy it; tarry not in all the plains of Sodom for there is no place there for soul to sit down to rest in. Never take up satisfied with anything short of that inward living and eternal substance, Christ within, the hope of glory. Pictures of Bread won’t satisfy the hungering soul; nothing but that Living Bread that has come down from Heaven can ever satisfy a soul that doth truly hunger and thirst after Righteousness. I don’t feel to be changed nor altered, but feel that same Love to Souls that are desiring to do well that I ever did; and so I intreat of thee for thy Soul’s sake to lay aside every weight and the sin that serves so easily to beset thee and run with patience the race set before thee, looking to Jesus, who is the author of faith, and if thou art faithful,

will be the finisher of they Salvation I expect  will be the bearer of this. I send her in my
name and stead; do receive her as thou would me, for whatsoever is done unto her, I shall look upon it done unto me. I have just received thy money fro the Boulting Cloth, and have sent it to thee. My love to thy wife and family and Anna, and all friends, and do well for one soul that thee may not lose thy reward, and watch and pray that thee enter not into temptation, saith the Universal Friend to David Wagener.”

JEMIMA WILKINSON.

The story of the career of Jemima Wilkinson is one of the interesting phases connected with the history of the David Wagener Family. So many stories are current concerning the life and activities of this remarkable woman that it is difficult to determine the exact status of her actions or her influence

upon the communities in which she dwelt. Various biographies of Jemima Wilkinson, the “Universal Friend,” and the society which she formed are to be found in the libraries. So many diverse stories are told by these biographers that it is difficult at this time to conclude how much is fanciful and how much is real fact. Perhaps the most reliable account is to be found in “Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family,” by Rev. Israel Wilkinson, 1869, though other accounts will be found in Cleveland’s

“History of Yates County, N. Y.,” and “Jemima Wilkinson” by Hudson.

Jemima Wilkinson, daughter of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Whipple) Wilkinson was born Nov. 29,

1752, in Cumberland, R. I., and died July 1, 1819, in Jerusalem, Yates County, N. Y. Jemima was the eighth of twelve children, and was always noted for her singular characteristics. When she was about eighteen years of age a religious excitement in Providence County, R. I., caused by the preaching of the distinguished George Whitfield, made a serious impression upon the mind of Jemima. She seemed to have been transformed into a serious, plain contemplative recluse. Casting aside her fine apparel and secluding herself from her gay companions, and public and private parties, she spent her time in

attending religious meetings and sought the company of those who were seriously inclined. About 1775 a fever broke out in the town of Cumberland and attacked the Wilkinson family. Jemima exerted herself to help care for the sick; by constant exposure she was brought under the terrible influence of the disease and for a long time her life was despaired of. One night suddenly about twelve o’clock she rose from her bed and demanded her clothes, having been in a trance for half an hour, lying motionless and apparently breathless. This sudden recovery surprised her attendants, but as she had previously

pretended to see visions and had recounted to others the wonderful revelations that had been made to her, they were not alarmed. But now she claimed she had died and had been raised from the dead, that her carnal existence was ended and that henceforth her life was to be spiritual and divine; that she was no longer “Jemima Wilkinson,” but had been re-animated by the spirit and power of Jesus Christ, and had become a friend of all mankind and was hereafter to be known as the “Universal Friend.” She now claimed to be endowed with power of prophecy and of performing miracles. Having secured her clothing she immediately got up, knelt by her bedside and prayed, and from that time forward went about in as good health as she usually enjoyed, only somewhat feeble and emaciated as a result of what she had undergone.

Hudson says, she feigned sickness and then told a long absurd story about foolish tricks she played on her watchers. The fact is, that her recovery was sudden, and that she had been very ill. The Sab­bath following, against the remonstrances of her friends, she went to church and at the close of the ser­vices addressed the congregation under a shade tree in the churchyard. From this time forward she began holding meetings, studying the Bible, and quoting it with great ease. The fame of her eloquence spreading to other towns, she was invited to go abroad and preach. She made circuits throughout New England and various stories are current regarding her assertions that she was able to perform miracles. Wherever she went she made proselytes; very frequently they were men of influence and high standing in society. In 1780 at Kingston, R. I., it is stated that Judge Potter became an en­thusiastic and devoted follower, and that he built a large addition to his already spacious mansion, containing fourteen rooms and bedrooms. Her influence controlled his entire household, including the servants and the income of his great estate. She made his home her headquarters for about six years. It is stated that Judge Potter was her principal agent in procuring land for her in the state of New York, where she later built a Friends’ settlement. In the summer of 1782 she went to Philadelphia attended by a few followers. Abraham Supplee, a Methodist prea^.cher and brother of the wife of David Wagener, lived in Worcester, Montgomery County, Pa.; having heard Jemima preach in the city of Phila. a number of times, he invited her and her companions to his house in Worcester. She accepted his invitation and it is stated that she sometimes had an audience of two thousand people to hear her preach. David Wagener attended these meetings and became interested in her discourses; a disagree­ment taking place between Abraham Supplee and the “Universal Friend,” David Wagener invited her to his house, and he and his wife became devoted friends and followers.

Various stories are told concerning the career of Jemima Wilkinson while she remained at Wagener’s house. Space forbids rehearsing more than one or two or these tales as told by Hudson. He states that Jemima Wilkinson arrived in Worcester in December, 1787; that she was followed by officers to search for stolen property, part of which was found. She fled by night with Wagener’s horse and wagon, reaching Bushkill Creek, seventy miles away, where she was overtaken the next morning.

During the last residence of Jemima in Worcester, she and her household subsisted entirely upon David Wagener’s means, and he became involved in debt. “His property was dissipated, his business .deranged, and he himself was loaded with debts which he could not discharge without sacrificing his real estate which consisted of three very large and valuable farms in a high state of cultivation and capable of yielding a handsome revenue. After striving for three years to redeem his shattered fortune he at length sank under the pressure of his embarrassments. He disposed of all his property, and with the little pittance that remained after paying his debts, followed Jemima to the Land of Promise, `Jerusalem,’ this being the name of the place where she settled, near the head of the West Branch of Crooked Lake, about twelve miles west of Seneca Lake.

“During the last sixteen years of Jemima’s life she was involved in a continuous series of litigations and died July 1, 1819. She at one time had a domestic named Anna Styer, who sometime after joining the society became partially deranged and committed suicide. Her friend, Mr. Wagener, was probably one of the most obedient and devoted disciples in her whole train.” [Hudson.]

In 1798 David Wagener, disposed of his property in Worcester and settled in Yates County, N. Y., and became a member of the New Jerusalem colony founded by Jemima. One story current is that David Wagener himself drove with his family and Jemima Wilkinson from Worcester to what is now Penn Yan, N. Y., in his carriage. An old carriage is still exhibited (1920) in Penn Yan which is called the “Jemima Wilkinson carriage,” owned and preserved by G. H. Remer. It is stated that this is the carriage in which Mr. Wagener drove Jemima to New York. Tradition also states that when Wagener started from Worcester he went out in his orchard, cut a branch from an apple tree to use as a whip when driving his horses ; and that when he arrived in New York, he stuck this stick in the ground, which grew into an apple tree from which was developed the Wagener apple. Impossible as this story is, the fact is that the Wagener apple was propagated by his son, Abraham Wagener. For the history of the Wagener apple, see “Apples of New York,” pages 354-356, a publication of the New York State Agricul­tural Society.

In this lake country Jemima Wilkinson and her followers founded New Jerusalem, the Land of Promise, where she proposed establishing an asylum for the oppressed where they could worship God under their own “vine and fig tree” with no one to molest them or make them afraid. Followers from New England and Pennsylvania congregated at this place and later established the town of Penn Yan.

Although it is stated that Jemima ruined Mr. Wagener, Judge Potter and other wealthy men, the fact that they followed her to New Jerusalem, where they became the first men of the county in wealth, influence, and respectability, does not bear out these statements. Here a log house was first built for her; later on a large gable-roofed house was erected which was said to be the first frame house built in western New York, and which was still standing in recent years. It is stated that fourteen thousand acres were purchased for the colony at twenty-five cents an acre. Troubles arising, law suits followed, and the latter part of her life was devoted to defending these law suits, and the colony disintegrated.

Although Jemima had her maids of honor, or her “two witnesses” as she called them, she gave the names of ancient prophets to some of her followers. In our day she probably would be called a spiritual­ist or a clairvoyant, and there is no doubt that she wielded a tremendous influence over the groups of people with whom she came in contact. Her will disposed of her property by giving it, both real estate and personal, to the friends who remained faithful to her, and not to the descendants of those who first gave it to her or enabled her to acquire this property, much to the dissatisfaction and disgust of these same descendants.

Charlestown, Chester County, Oct. 17, 1823. “Dear Sister:

I am favored once more with an opportunity of writing a few lines to you. I feel very happy to hear from I,ena Castner that you and your family were all in good health, and all our connections in your country seem to same in­estimable blessing. Your poor unworthy brother has suffered very much this two years past under the afflictive hand of providence. Last fall was a year I took the fever and again the 1st October and it continued with me till the 10th of February, then I was taken with the Typhus billious fevers which brought me nearly to the verge of the grave but blessed be the name of the Lord he has delivered me through all my troubles and diseases and I still remain one of the monuments of his Mercy. I would wish to be resigned and say Lord thy will be done, I have been some sick this fall but am now in the recovery but feel very weak, whilst writing this letter. I would wish you to write to me what the profits of our land amounts to yearly and whether our land is divided from John’s with a good fence and whether the land is getting better or worse. I think if Brother Morris has a chance of selling the land at a tolerable good price, we had better agree to sell it together and not divide at all. I think you had best buy me out it will be valuable some day being so near the County town. Please to answer this as convenient. We all join in sending our respects to you, Brother Morris and family. Don’t forget to give our respects to Aunt Ann, Aunt Mary, Uncle Joe, all our relations. No more at present.

Your Brother

ABRAHAM WAGENER AND THE FIRST SETTLEMENT OF PENN YAN

[From the Dundee Record, January 14, 1852: Courtesy of Samuel Castner, Phila. ]

“The Wagener family is a very ancient one, and its branches may be found in several States of the Union, and in our own State of New York, where it is distinguished by the omission of a letter, being written as Wagener or Wagner.

Abraham Wagener was born on the 29th day of November, 1774, in the town of Norriton, Mont­gomery County Pennsylvania, sixteen miles north of Philadelphia, and is consequently now in the 78th year of his age. His father, David Wagener, was a respectable farmer, and became in his own state one of the followers of the celebrated Jemima Wilkinson, and a member of the Society of Universal Friends, at an early period, and with that remarkable woman and her followers came to the State of New York, in the year 1791, and formed a settlement in the wilderness. The first location of the new society, was called the Friends Settlement, and was on the west bank of the Seneca Lake, in the south part of what is now called the town of Torrey, in the county of Yates. The new town was then called by the appro­priate name of Jerusalem, and embraced all the territory in the present county of Yates (excepting Starkey and Barrington) and was then part of the then unorganized county of Ontario.

A grist-mill had been erected in the year 1790, on the outlet of the Crooked Lake, called the Friend’s mill, by James Parker, Abraham Dayton and Richard Smith, of which David Wagener, in 1791, became the owner of one half-and which continued for many years to be the only mill in the county-and was rather primitive in its construction; yet the mill house was the centre of business and the scene of the transaction of all the town and public affairs.

The subject of this sketch came to the settlement [Jemima Wilkinson], in October, 1792, and has since resided for a period of sixty years in the now county of Yates. At the time of his arrival, the settle­ment embraced about sixty-two families, all of whom belonged to the Society of Friends, and the names of the heads of which we here give, as a matter of interest to all the readers of the Record:

 It will be borne in mind, that these are all the names of heads of families, in 1792; many others of our oldest and most respected families came in shortly after, such as Richard Henderson, Samuel Kress, Andrew Robelier or Raplee, &c.

At this time, the Indians were still living, in large numbers, on the lands of the settlement, claiming their rights as lords of the soil, and the forests abounded with bear, deer, wolves, and all other wild animals of a new region. The Indians retained possession of the lands, claiming that the white people had failed to pay for them, according to agreement. To remove this difficulty, Messrs. Phelps & Gorham, after much trouble, got their consent to hold a treaty, which they could only do by procuring the Quakers to unite with them, so great was the influence, and wide spread was the reputation of the integrity of the followers of Miquon (William Penn) amongst the savage owners of the wilderness. This treaty was held at Canandaigua in 1793 or 1794, there being present Red Jacket, Corn-Planter, Farmer’s-Brother and John Blacksmith, Chiefs of the Senecas, on the part of the Indians, and Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham, the celebrated interpreter, Major Jones, and four of the plain and peaceful Quakers, on the part of the white, and the treaty was consummated and the Indians ever after quiet and peaceable. At this treaty Abraham Wagener was present and had the pleasure of listen­ing to the powerful native eloquence of Red Jacket (Sa-ga-ye-watha, or Keeper awake).

On the 26th of May, 1796, he married his first wife, Mary Casner, sister of the late Samuel Casner, of Milo. When they commenced house-keeping, they brought all their worldly wealth on two Indian ponies, and first settled at Himrod’s Corners, in the town of Milo, where they lived three years.

In the year 1796, his father, David Wagener, became the owner of the land where the village of Penn Yan now stands, and built the first grist-mill at Penn Yan, in the same year, on the south side of the outlet, on the side where Jillett’s mill now stands. On the 26th of August, 1799, David Wagener died, and was the first person buried in the grave yard at Penn Yan. He left his lands at Penn Yan, (276 acres) to his two sons, Melchoir and Abraham; those on the south side of the outlet being left to Melchoir and his mother, and those on the north to Abraham. The first quarter of the 276 acres was purchased for four dollars an acre in 1796, of Lewis Birdsall, who bought of Robert Chissom and he purchased of George Wheeler, who derived his title directly from Phelps and Gorham. A most unprom­ising heritage it seemed to the subject of this sketch, being covered with scrubby pine bushes and underbrush, and large portion of it being low, swampy ground.

During the year 1796, Jemima Wilkinson removed from the gore where she first settled, in the permanent settlement of the friends in the present town of Jerusalem.

Upon the death of his father, in 1799, Mr. Wagener came on the lands left him by his father, and erected the first frame building within the bounds of the village of Penn Yan, being a part of the tavern stand formerly owned by Miles Benham, and occupied, at the time it was burnt, in 1841, by Elijah S. Ryno, into which he moved on the first of January, 1800. At this time there were three log cabins on the banks of Jacob’s Brook (named for Jacob Wagener) occupied by Indians and their families. The second frame house was built by Doctor John Dorman, and was the Old Red House, a part of which is now occupied by Charles V. Bush, as a house-builder’s shop, on the east side of Main Street; it was built in 1800. The third frame house was the one now situated on the south side of Elm Street, nearly opposite the residence of Abraham N. Wagener, Esq.; and the fourth was the school-house still standing on the west side of Main Street. on the premises of the late Frederick H. Rhode. In this last named building, a few years later, the first religious meetings were held, and at a still later period, Rev. Richard Williams (Presbyterian) was first preacher.

In 1801, Mr. Wagener took active measures. and assisted in cutting a new road from Canandaigua to Newtown, (now Elmira,) by the head of the Seneca Lake, which was made a mail-route, and a post office (the first in Yates county) was established at his house, and he was appointed post master, (the name of the post office being Jerusalem) and held the office for fourteen years.

The new village began now to assume her station, and, feeling her importance, began to look about for a name. By its citizens it was known as Unionville, and by the outsiders, by the more expressive but less satisfactory appellation of Pandemonium. Various conferences were held on the subject, by Mr. Wagener, the late Morris F. Sheppard, and others, as the little settlement in the neighborhood of the house of Major Thomas Lee, known familiarly as the `Tom Lee Stand,’ also put on airs and claimed to be a village. At length at one of those then important gatherings called a `raising,’ the Gordian knot was cut by the late Philemon Baldwin, (grandfather of P. H. Baldwin, of Penn Yan,) who, when the last rafter was raised, mounted the plate, and, according to ancient usage, swung the well-filled bottle round his head, and, after alluding to the selection of a name, observed that part of the inhabitants were Penn-sylvanians and part Yan-kees, and proposed the name of Penn Yan, and swung off the bottle with a hurrah! The name was greeted with universal approbation, and so the village was christened, and being expressive, so it remained and when a short time afterwards the name of the post office was changed to Penn Yan, it became a fixed fact.

In 1808, Mr. Wagener was appointed a Justice of the Peace, by the Council of Appointment, for the town of Snell (since Benton and Milo) and held that office for twenty-six years, having been appoint­ed under the new Constitution, and subsequently for the two last years elected by the people for the town of Milo. Having alluded to elections we cannot omit noticing the account given by Esq. Wagener of the first election held for Governor in the Friends settlement in 1795.

The voters of the New Jerusalem assembled at their capitol, the Friends Mills, and after having been marshalled by Castle Daines, who was inspector or returning officer, they all gathered upon a fallen pine tree near the mill and there exercised the right of suffrage, being unanimous for one of the candi­dates before the people, and believed to be the late Chancellor Livingston.

In 1810, the grist-mill on the north side of Crooked Lake outlet, was built on the site where now stands the mill of Messrs. Casner & Scheets; and it stood till 1824, when Esq. Wagener built the present mill, John Spicer, Esq., being the architect. * * * *

In the year 1832, he bought his lands on Bluff Point, (1100 acres in one body) of the late Charles A.Williamson, for $4 an acre, all of which he still owns, together with 500 acres in the towns of Milo and Jerusalem, all in one body. In 1833 he erected his elegant mansion on Bluff Point, in the town of Jerusalem, where he removed and resided till 1840, when he purchased his present residence, formerly belonging to R. N. Morrison, Esq:, near Penn Yan, on the Jerusalem line—and which continues to be the abode of charity and hospitality. From his own door, the venerable patriarch can see a thriving village of about 300 inhabitants, with seven large churches, a court-house, jail, two large flouring mills and two banks, with a large number of stores and shops, and the proportionate number of private dwellings. Casting the eye over the Crooked Lake, a steamboat may be seen, in the season, performing its daily trips, while from its foot proceeds the Crooked Lake Canal, with its boats, the Canandaigua and Jefferson Railroad, with its trains of passenger and freight cars, and its line of telegraph wires, all denoting the onward march of enterprise, improvement and civilization, and all existing in a spot which a little more than fifty years ago, was an unfruitful and apparently useless wilderness.

Abraham Wagener served as supervisor of the village of Penn Yan, and was also nominated to the legislature. * *

He is about five feet nine inches in height, still unbowed by time. with a clear eye, and exhibiting few marks of old age either in his appearance or actions. Perhaps something if not all of this exemption from the infirmities of advanced years may be traced to his habits; for he says of himself: that he never went to a dance or frolic; never was drunk in his life, and never laid abed in the morning when he was well, and his signature is as steady and clear now as it was twenty years since.

“Since the above was first published, we have had the pleasure of a short conversation with Esq. Wagener, in which he mentioned a few additional incidents, which we esteem well worthy of preservation.

In November, 1796, William Eddy and Josiah Gregory, came to Mr. Wagener’s house at Milo, (he then resided near `Himrods,’ as it is now called,) in search of a lot of land belonging to an eastern gentleman named Jonathan Lawrence. ** * * Eddy was an Irishman, then about 30 or 35 years old, not very intelligent, but strong and robust. He had fallen in with Gregory accidentally, and an intimacy having sprung up, the latter had been induced to accompany him in search of the lot. Eddy stated that Lawrence had agreed to give him 50 acres of the land if he hunted it up, and sell him the balance of the lot at a very low stipulated price if he wanted it.

Mr. Wagener examined the papers produced by Eddy, and at once offered to show the land des­cribed. All south of Wagener’s house, at Milo, was then a dense unbroken forest as far as the Head of the Seneca Lake, except that the old Indian Trail to Catharine’s Town, (at or near to Havana) had

been partly cut out and cleared for a wagon track being the principal part of the road now running
westerly from Russel A. Hunt’s, and thence through or near Dundee to Jefferson. The next day Wagener, Eddy, and Gregory started south scoring a road through the woods, and about noon Wagener pointed out the corner described in the deed—being on the spring brook that now runs through the north part of Eddytown village, whereon, in later years, Benjamin Cheever constructed a grist-mill, the site of which is now owned by Seymour Hurd. On their return the party marked the road plain, and Gregory having been employed by Eddy, immediately proceeded to cut out the trees so as to render the route passable for a sled. This is the road now running from Himrod’s Corners to Eddytown. A few days afterwards Mr. Wagener took down to Eddy’s lot 400 feet of boards on an ox-sled. A log house was immediately put up near the spring brook, close by where Smith’s Ashery was subsequently established. Gregory then went off. Eddy remained in the woods six weeks making a clearing—Mr. Wagener furnishing his supplies. He then went east to perfect his title, and returned to his lot in the spring, soon after which several settled near him—among the earliest of whom were Timothy Hurd and Matthew Royce, the latter probably the oldest resident of this town now living.

The road running north from Himrod’s Corners to the late Richard Henderson’s residence (now occupied by James Longwell, Esq.) in Milo, was laid out under Mr. Wagener’s direction, and cut out by him, Henderson and others.

In regard to Jemima Wilkinson’s first acquaintance with his father, Esq. Wagener gives the following explanation:

`In 1781, The Friend preached in Philadelphia. David Wagener’s wife’s brother, Abraham Supplee was a Methodist preacher, and had heard her preach several times during his visits to the city. He invited her and her companions to his house in Worcester, Pa. During her residence there she exhorted and proclaimed her mission. David Wagener became interested in her discourses and on a rupture or disagreement taking place between Supplee and the Friend, David Wagener invited her to his house, when he and his wife became her devoted friends and followers. The projected settlement in the wilderness discussed and during the subsequent visits agreed upon. David Wagener from time to time furnished for her and her traveling companions large sums of money, horses, carriages, &c.’

Some curious memoranda will be found in the following exact copy of a page of an old manuscript book in the hand writing of David Wagener, which we now have before us. The book contains nine sheets of the old fashioned water laid foolscap paper, each sheet bearing the british stamp, `G-. R.’ sur­mounted by a crown—curious and valuable specimens of the odious Stamp Act, which so effectually assisted in precipitating the American Revolution. These sheets are fastened within an ancient, paste-board cover, on which is written by the hand of David Wagener, in the peculiar style of `coarse hand’ characteristic of the period, the following words: `David Wagener his cyphering Book, who began January the 6th Day, 1768.’ The pages, with the exception of the two last, are filled with neatly written Arithmetical calculations, from Numerations’ to `Double Rule of Three Direct.’ The last page seems to have been kept by David Wagener as a Family Record, and for noting what he evidently considered the most important events of his life. The following is an exact copy of the page:

“David Wagener was born of Melcher and Gertraut Wagener The 25th Day of January Ao. 1752. Rebeccah Wagener was born of Hance and Magdalene Supplee The 25th Day of November A. Do. 1749.

Two INTERESTING DEEDS

“George S. Sheppard, Esq., has in his possession a deed dated May 13, 1796, given by David Wagener to Ezekiel Sherman, conveying, for an expressed consideration of one hundred and fifty pounds, one hundred and fifty acres of lot 48, township 7, of the Second Range. Cleveland’s History states (page 455) that one hundred acres of this land was deeded in payment for the early explorations made by Ezekiel Sherman for the Friend’s Society, and fifty acres for improvements made on their first purchase in the original Friends Settlement near Seneca Lake. David Wagener built the first mill in what is now Penn Yan, and was the first person buried in Lake View Cemetery. The entire deed is in Mr. Wagener’s handwriting, and indicates that he was a man of much more than ordinary ability and business experience. This deed was witnessed by Samuel Castner and Melchior Wagener.

Mr. Sheppard also has a deed dated June 8, 1797, given to Mary Sherman, the wife of Ezekiel Sherman, by Rachel Malin, `lawful heir to the last will and testament of Sarah Richards, deceased,’ and conveying, `in consideration of eighty dollars of good silver coin,’ one hundred and sixty acres in Lot 47. Cleveland’s History states that this deed was given on behalf of the Friend in payment of money advanced to aid in moving the Friend’s effects to the new settlement. This deed was witnessed by Lucy Brown and David Wagener.

Both deeds are the property of Mr. Warren S. H. Wright, a great-grandson of the original grantees.”

ABRAHAM WAGENER, THE FOUNDER OF PENN YAN

“The founding of a village where Penn Yan now stands was the outgrowth of necessity, and not of design. It was a natural consequence and not the result of speculative schemes. David Wagener bought the lands because they were desirable and not that he contemplated the building up of a village. But Mr. Wagener did not live to enjoy the substantial fruits of his purchase. He died in 1799, and his estate in lands, on which the village stands, was inherited by his sons, Abraham and Melchior. In area the estate embraced 276 acres, lying both north and south of the outlet; that part north of the stream fell to Abraham, while his brother became owner of the lands on the south side. Eventually Abraham succeeded to the ownership of the whole tract.

“To Abraham Wagener therefore attaches all credit for taking the initial steps that resulted in a substantial village corporation. In 1801 he took active measures in having surveyed and constructed a highway leading from Canandaigua to Newton (now Elmira). This road soon became an established mail route, and a postoffice was located soon afterward at Abraham Wagener’s house. He was the first postmaster, and the name of the office was Jerusalem, being as this locality then was, within the district called Jerusalem.

“On the 1st of January, 1800, Mr. Wagener moved into `town,’ and occupied a dwelling built the year before for his use. This was the first frame building erected on the village site, and stood where later was the Miles Benham tavern. The building was burned in 1841. When Mr. Wagener came here to reside there were three log cabins within his tract, all standing on the stream called Jacob’s brook [named for Jacob Wagener], and occupied by Indians and their families. These primitive inhabitants were tenants by the sufferance of Mr. Wagener, they having no title nor claim to the land they occupied. They are said to have remained for a time, but the constant arrival of white settlers caused them to retire from the neighborhood.

“For fourteen years after his appointment Abraham Wagener held the office of postmaster at his little village, but he was otherwise honored in public affairs. In 1808 he was appointed justice-of-the-peace for the town of Snell, which then included all that afterward became Benton and Milo. This office Mr. Wagener held for about twenty-five years, and from his long continued incumbency thereof, he became generally known as `Squire’ Wagener, by which name he was called as long as he lived.

“Abraham Wagener, the founder in fact of the village, was in all respects the honorable, straight­forward public-spirited citizen, a man of large means and much influence in the town. The land on which the Court House was built was his voluntary gift, while also the main thoroughfare of the village was donated and laid out by him. Of course, these things greatly enhanced the value of his property, but at the time they forwarded the interests of other persons who perhaps were less able and less inclined to give than he was.

“Squire Wagener continued to live in Penn Yan, as the village afterward was named, until 1833, in which year he moved to Bluff Point, where he occupied an elegant stone mansion which he had erected during that year. However, before his removal to Bluff Point, Squire Wagener built a second residence in the village, which stood on the land now in part occupied by the Knapp House, about where the dining room of that hostelry is located. This dwelling is believed to have been erected in 1816, and to it was given the name of Mansion House. This name was preserved in after years when the building was changed in character and occupancy and put to hotel use.

“In the rear of the house stood the famous old Wagener apple tree, so called from its owner, the one who planted the seed, nourished and cultivated the sprout, and distributed its seed in return throughout the vicinity, the yield of which has always been known as the Wagener’ apple. Now the old Mansion House has become a part of the more modern Knapp House; the apple tree has been cut down, that the land may be used for other purposes and the founder of the village, its pioneer and most influential citizen lies buried in the old cemetery which his father gave to the people for the interment of their dead.

“Abraham Wagener died May 21, 1853. Descendants of his still live in this village and throughout the county, and the name is an honored one. So common has been the error in the spelling of the apple in question, that probably the great majority of those living today do not associate it with the founder of the village of Penn Yan. To the credit of the official reports of fruit growers’ meetings throughout the State, the correct spelling has been maintained. Publishers of catalogues also usually use the middle `e’. “

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

“In Memory of Mrs. Mary Wagener, consort of Abraham Wagener, who died on the 3d of June, 1811, in Benton, On­tario County, aged 37 years; with Address to her parents and relations.”

 `The Widower’s Lamentation.

“Come all my friends both far and near,

My lementations you may hear;

Come, lend an ear and I’ll relate

The sorrows of my present state.

I was once blest from Heaven’s hand With a kind wife and bosom friend; She was the partner of my cares; But now her loss I mourn with tears,

The God of mercy gave a call—She heard the same and gave up all, And freely left all things below, And bid adieu to pain and woe.

She now lies mouldering in the ground, Till the last trump shall give the sound, And call the saints of God to rise, And meet King Jesus in the skies.

And thus bereft of consort dear,

Who in my troubles used to share;

But now for ever from me gone,

And left me here to grieve and mourn.

I’m like a dove who seeks in vain For his lost mate, but can’t obtain; 0, whether shall I go, to find Deliverance from a burden’d mind.

How deep the wound! how keen the dart; The stroke of death bath reached my heart; My loss is great, which makes me mourn; I weep in vain—she’ll ne’er return.

My hopes cut off, my joys are gone, I’m left with my dear Babes alone; My anguish and my sore distress No tongue nor language can express.

My dear Relations, mourn with me, “\ My deep distress you here may see; ‘\ In tears of sympathy now join,

And thus you’ll aid a troubled mind._

Lord, give me grace to bear me up; May I have faith—may I have hope, And worthily pursue the way

That leads the soul to endless day.”

“The Address

“Mysterious are the ways of God, His works, his providence and world; All, in conjunction do declare His majesty we ought to fear.

Both life and breath are in his hand; The powers of death he doth command, And when his sentence we do hear, We must obey, we can’t forbear.

When he gives life or takes the same, We ought to bless his holy name; Submit unto his righteous rod, Not question, but adore our God.

The dispensation he’s display’d, Of late by death, which he hath made, Abundant cause for you to mourn, The loss of her who’ll ne’er return.

Her ling’ring sickness, pain and death,

At last destroy’d her vital breath;

While weeping friends stood round her bed,

Without a groan, her spirit fled!

Brothers and Sisters, very near—Tender Parents, and Husband dear, In coalition now may join,

In lamentations all combine.

To aged Parents this I’d say—

Though God hath call’d your Child away,

Submit and say, `They will be done

In all things here below the sun.’

To Brothers and to Sisters too, The same advice I’d give to you, Unto the will of God comply, And thus prepare to live and die.

To him who’s left with tender Babes, (Who seeks in vain their Mother’s aid!) The Lord now calls, 0 hear his voice, And make his grace your happy choice.

0, may God’s grace assist us all, To do his will and hear his call! That we may live in peace and love, And then receive a crown above!”

“Richard Henderson, Sr., husband of Anna Wagener, was born in Ireland, and came, at seven years of age, with his parents to Pa. In the Revolutionary War he drove a baggage wagon for the American Army. He was a surveyor and came with David Wagener to the Genesee country, where he was much employed. On one occasion he was offered a township in payment for his services and refused it. While surveying in Cayuga County, some Indians stole his compass, and but for the good fortune of meeting other friendly Indians, he could not have found his way back to camp. He married Anna Wagener, daughter of David Wagener, in 1795, and they settled on a large tract of land midway between Milo Center and Himrods, and there remained the rest of their lives. They moved directly into the woods, bringing their belongings on an ox-sled. They were early and ardent Methodists. The itinerant preachers always had a cordial welcome in their home; in fact in their home was held the quarterly and other meetings, for years.” [Cleveland— Hist. Yates Co.]

“Melachor Wagener, Sr., came from Pennsylvania in 1792 and settled about four miles below Penn Yan on the outlet. His father, David Wagener, came about 1790 with millwrights and built a mill at the above location, and subsequently built one at Penn Yan. He also kept the first public house there. A son of Mrs. Abraham Van Wagener remembered well to have seen the French Duke, Lianeourt, at his father’s inn. Melachor Wagener came to this town in 1811, and settled on the farm now occupied by his son, Melachor, where he built a grist mill in the gully. He was twice married. His second wife was Alpha Wilkinson, distantly related to Jemima, the prophetess.” [Hist. of Steuben Co. (N. Y.), P. 479.]

Alpha Wilkinson was horn in Cumberland, R. I., and at the age of twenty years went to Penn Yann, N. Y., with her widowed mother. Here she married Melchior Wagener and moved to Pulteney, N. Y. Later he settled in Penn Yan, and built the first saw mill in the town of Pulteney in 1810, and the first grist mill in 1814. [Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family; Landmarks of Steuben Co., p 14.]

Jeptha Wilkinson was born Apr. 3, 1757, and died Aug. 15, 1803. He was the son of Jeremiah Wilkinson and Elizabeth Amy Whipple of Cumberland, R. I. He was also the brother of Jemima Wilkinson, the religious enthusiast. Jeremiah Wilkinson lived in Cumberland on the farm long known as the “Old Wilkinson place.” He was a distinguished inventor. Jeptha was married Mar. 25, 1780 to Lucy Smith of Groton, Conn. He was a natural mechanic and found employment in the surrounding villages and cities. He was one of the “Minute Men” of Boston in the time of the Revolution, and engaged in the strife for independence. He died in 1803 of yellow fever in Jersey City. N. J., leaving his wife and children to contend alone with an unfriendly world.

Two years after this, his widow emigrated from Cumberland with six of her children, leaving Nancy and Arnold to settle her business in Rhode Island. She started for the wilderness of New York, stopping first in the Town of Milo, three miles east of Penn Yan. Here she remained about a year and soon afterwards purchased an eighty-eight acre tract of land in Jerusalem where she built a log cabin and engaged in farming. She also purchased a share in a carding machine and was joint owner with Capt. Lawrence. She was a person of great energy of character and with her industry and a small pension allowed her by the general government she made herself and family comfortable and educated her children. She nearly attained her one hundredth year, retaining her faculties to a remarkable degree. She died in Pulteney, Steuben Co., N. Y.. and is buried in the Wagener burying ground. Her grave is marked by a blue marble stone, erected by her daughter, Nancy, as a tribute of affection to a departed mother. [Memoirs of the Wilkinson Fam.]

Through the influence of Mrs. Morrell, a white marble slab was placed in the Penn Yan (N. Y.) Cem. on which is carved an account of the donation of the cemetery grounds by Abraham Wagener.

ABRAHAM WAGENER MEMORIAL CHAPEL
Bequest by Mrs. Henrietta J. Morrell

“Penn Yan, March 12, [1908]. The will of Mrs. Henrietta J. Morrell, a descendant of the locally illustrious Wagener family, who died March 1, leaves an amount to be expended in Lake View cemetery. The clause, which is the fifth in the will, says:

“I give and bequeath to my executors the sum of $3,000, and more if my executors deem necessary, but the sum must not exceed $4,000, in trust, nevertheless, to expend and lay out in building and erecting in Lake View ceme­tery, in said village of Penn Yan, at such point or location as shall be selected by my executors and the cemetery commissioners, a brick or stone chapel, in Swiss or Gothic style of sufficient size to accommodate not less than forty persons, to be known as the Abraham Wagener Memorial Chapel, such chapel to be used by any religious de­nomination for religious services only, and to contain one vault, and two if my executors deem necessary. This bequest is given upon condition that the cemetery commissioners will accept such chapel and enter into an agree­ment with my executors to maintain, keep and care for such chapel and, as well, my lot and the lot of my father, the late Abraham Wagener, deceased. I also empower my executors to provide ten years’ Insurance upon said chapel and contents; and I do hereby declare that this bequest shall take precedence over all other money legacies herein bequeathed and under no circumstances shall said sum be reduced.”

In her last codicil, Mrs. Moue11 gave an additional $1,000 to the chapel fund.

The last will is dated August 22, 1902. To this will three codicils were made. The following are some of the important paragraphs:

“After the payment of all my just debts and funeral expenses, in case I have not provided a monument prior to my death, I hereby authorize and direct my executors hereinafter named to purchase within six months after my death a white Westerly granite monument in memory of my husband and myself, the same to cost, exclusive of the cost of erection not less than $2,500 * * * * I authorize and direct my said executors to cause my lot in Lake View cemetery to be put in perfect condition, and that there shall not be any trees or shrubbery planted, nor walks laid out thereon, and that no person or persons, under any circumstances shall be buried therein except my husband and myself.

I give and bequeath to the clergyman who officiates at my funeral $50.00.

I do authorize and direct my executors, so far as possible, to return the various articles of personal property of which I die possessed, and which have been given to me at various times, to the donors thereof.”

The following clauses of the last codicil will suggest the character of all. This codicil revokes clause eight of the will, and has among others these clauses:

“I give and bequeath to Henrietta M. Weed the sofa in my back parlor, the tall clock in my back parlor, all my lamps and the entire contents of my bedroom.

“I do hereby give, devise and bequeath unto St. Mark’s Episcopal Church all the rest, residue and remainder of my property, of whatsoever name or nature.”

The executors of the will were Henry C. Underwood and William T. Morris.

Russel A. Hunt married a second time to Ann M. Castner [192-37].

Previous to the birth of Russel A. Hunt, his father, Silas Hunt, lived somewhere in New Jersey. A hunter and trapper from this neighborhood, who had crossed over into Canada and followed the border down to Niagara Falls, related his experiences upon his return and stated that the finest country he had seen on his long trip was that section which included the chain lakes—Seneca, Crooked and Canadaigua—especially that section along Seneca Lake. This description so inspired the Hunt family that Adam and Silas Hunt and three other men took their axes and a bushel of wheat, and blazed a trail through the forest by marking the trees for more than half the distance. They selected a location which is now Milo Township, Yates County, New York. They partly cleared a small portion of land and sowed the wheat, and then returned home.

The following spring they started out with their families, taking their cattle and other possessions, and set up their homes in the wilderness. Here Russel A. Hunt was born under a basswood tree, while the log house was being built. He had an older brother named Henry, who at this time was thirteen years of age; when he became of marriageable age and wanted to start out for himself. his father said, “All I can give you is a yoke of three-year old steers, but I have no chain, nor is there any in this section of the country. However, I loaned a chain to a neighbor in New Jersey, before we moved here, and if you care to go to New Jersey to get it you can have it.” Being no tenderfoot, young Henry took his old flintlock musket, some dried beef, and started out. He forded streams, slept in the bushes, and killed game en route, following the blazed trail that was made seven or eight years previously. He arrived in New Jersey in due course of time, shouldered the chain, and returned to New York. It took him six weeks to make this trip, and upon his return he used the chain to clear up a 200-acre farm, thus establishing himself in Milo Township.

Russel A. Hunt himself became one of the most successful farmers in his section. His wheat crop was very large for the time and neighborhood, and he raised often fifteen hundred bushels in a season. It is stated that at Christmas time he would take a load of wheat to the mill; then early on Christmas morning, before folks were astir, he would leave a bag of flour, together with other necessaries of life, on doorsteps where people were in need.

The Rev. Dr. A. Judson Rowland was born at Valley Forge, Pa. In 1862 he was graduated with first honors from Bucknell University, whereupon he served as a chaplain in the U. S. A. for one year. In 1863 he entered Rochester Theological Seminary and three years later completed the course.

His first pastorate was at the Mount Auburn Baptist Church of Cincinnati. Im 1870 he came to Pittsburgh and for two years served the First Baptist congregation. Then for twelve years—from 1872 to 1884—Dr. Rowland occupied the pulpit of the Tenth Baptist Church in Philadelphia. As pastor of the Franklin Square Baptist Church, he went to Baltimore in 1884 and remained there until 1895 when he was made general secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society. Dr. Rowland held this latter office until 1917, when he was appointed acting treasurer of the same Society.

In his lifetime, Dr. Rowland contributed to many denominational organs, and was the author of “A Handbook on the Pentateuch” (1895). From 1890 to 1900 he acted as editor of “Our Young Peo­ple,” and was likewise the editor of the “Senior Quarterly,” a Baptist publication, from 1883 to 1895. He served the S. S. Council of the Evangelical denominations as its first president.

For many years, Dr. Rowland was the secretary of Bucknell University, which institution con­ferred on him at various times the degrees of A. M., D.D., and LL.D.

John M. Oliver enlisted at the fall of Ft. Sumter; was made 1st Lieut., Co. A, 15th Michigan Infantry. After the Battle of Bull Run, he was made captain of Co. A. His promotion to the colonelcy of same regiment soon followed, and he was assigned to the Army of the Tennessee. At the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, he was again promoted for “conspicuous gallantry on the field of battle.” The battles of Shiloh, Corinth, and Sherman’s March to the Sea, and especially his bravery at Ft. McAllister which his brigade captured, brought him his promotion as major general, commanding the 2d Div., 15th Army Corps, General Sherman’s own division.

After the close of the war the Division was ordered to Little Rock, Ark., where after some months it was mustered out. General Oliver was then made assessor of Internal Revenue with headquarters at Little Rock, and later was supervisor of the postal railway service of the South, headquarters at New Orleans. His death at the age of 43 years occurred suddenly in Washington, D. C., while he was there on business for his department. It was during his southern activities that his friendship with General Sam Houston began, only ending with his death. Generals Grant, Sherman and McCook were his warm personal friends. [Mrs. Wm.

Samuel Hopkins Wagener was born in Penn Yan, New York, being the son of David Wagener and Maria West of Great Barrington, Mass. At the age of twenty-nine years, Samuel Wagener went to Monroe, Michigan, where he served his apprenticeship in the drug business. In 1855 he went to California, via the Isthmus of Panama, and engaged in mining in Yuba County. At the expiration of two years he abandoned the mining business and opened a drug store in Petuma, but in 1864 he returned to Michigan and started a drug store in Muskegon, conducting it till 1877. During this time he was a very prominent factor in civic affairs, serving as mayor, city treasurer, and member of the Board of School Trustees. Although the city was Republican, he was elected mayor on the Democratic ticket by a large majority, and at the end of his term refused to serve longer although urged by both parties to do so.

Returning to California in 1877, he established a drug business in San Jose, continuing there until his retirement, a few years before his death. During the administration of Pres. Cleveland, in 1886, Mr. Wagener was postmaster of San Jose, serving four years. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, serving as vestryman for thirty-five years. He also served as treasurer of the “Society of California Pioneers of Santa Clara County” for three years, and was a member of the San Francisco Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. After his death the Grand Chapter of the Royal Masons of the State of California published a memorial in his memory.

On Sept. 22, 1864, Mr. Wagener was married to Evelina Frances Smith, a native of Monroe, Michigan, and a graduate of Monroe Seminary.
