Hefound a saw-mill and a temporary shanty; but notanother building of any kind, not even a barn. Hesaw enough, however, to induce him to come to theplace with his amiable and beautiful young wife, in1805, and build the second house in house still stands. He also made a tan-yard,and cleared land south of the village. He was anenergetic and useful citizen and one of the mostrespected citizens until his death. He held severaloffices of trust and responsibility; was well read andintelligent, a judge of the county, and the father ofseveral sons and daughters, whom he trained so asto be an honor to his name. It is not probable thathis family will be perpetuated here. (Hist, of Sullivan Co.) Children, born at Monticello, N. Y.:. PLATT PELTON.
