CLINTON WATKINS
Clinton Watkins was born in Ontario Co. in
1811. His wife was
Frances Case, a dau~ter of Richmond and Lydia
Case. See p. 27. They had a daughter
Grace Watkins who married and lived in Niagara
Falls.The Watkins home was on Sect. 47, now the Zimmerman
place. EPHRAIM WATKINS. Cem.
Lot 18. Continued
Erasmus and Deborah were the parents of Clinton Watkins and settled on
Sect 71. Their house stood on the corner of
Spangle Street and the Turnpike. I remember the old house which was back of the
newer house which burned while the Burgesses owned the place. The Watkins may
have been the ones to set out the now old evergreen row of trees
on the west. This is just a WAUGH Caroline, wife of
Thomas and dau of Peter & Magdalin Wynkoop, born in
Ulster Co. Oct 15 1793, died Jan 21 1841,
Adeline, dau. of Thos. & Caroline,
born Sept 24 1820; died in Ontario Co. July 7 1852. WHITACRE

Cav. On this lot there was no sign that there ever had been a burial. But from my mother I knew that the pioneer Robert Whitacre and his two wives(both pioneer women) were buried there and that at one time there were stones there. From the family records I had all dates of births and deaths. Also I had records of Robert Whitacre's service in the War of 1812, which led the Supervisors of Ontario Co. to erect a stone at his grave, according to a provision made by law that any unmarked soldier's grave may receive this recognition. The original fami1y of Whitacres were Quakers and some of them still are. They belonged to that branch of Quakers which settled in and around Philadelphia. John Whitacre took up land in Bucks Co. Pa. in 1699. A grandson of his, Robert Whitacre,Sr. with his wife, Sarah Windmer, moved from Bucks Co. PA to Muncy, Pa. with their family. Their son Robert married Margaret Wytkoff, and in 1790 they came to Hopewell and settled on Sect. 19, on the Turnpike(across from the Purple place) They had 8 children when Margaret died. I think she was a sister of James Wyckoff(See Cem. Records). Hugh Reznor and his wife Polly Johnston, also from Pa. lived across the road on Sect. 21. After Hugh's death, and after Robert returned from the War of 1812, he and Polly were married. They built the house which still stands, which we know as the Charles Brundage home. Robert and Polly's first child was Hannah Whitacre, who married my grandfather, George Brundage, Jr. who bought off the many heirs to the Whitacre farm, and gradually the place became known as the Brundage farm. Editors note : It
appears from the above that these records were written by a grand dau. of George
Brundage, Jr. WHITNEY
=============================================== Gem. Lot
94.
Maria Wier's daughter Nancy, married Charles Thomas Babcock and they
were the parents of Mary Babcock(Mrs. Fred Benham) After the stone on
the Wier lot had crumbled away, it was Mrs. Benham who purchased the present
stone and had it set on her grandmother's grave. I
think the Wiers lived on the Cemetery Road, just over the Gorham line. No doubt
there were other burials on this lot. ISAAC WITTER. Gem. Lot
