Among those whose names appear upon the pages of our county history, none have a better record of an honest, indus- trious life than the subject of this sketch. Colonel N. B. Stanton, son of Deacon Amasa Stanton and Dimmis Brown, was born in Charleston, Montgomery Co., N. Y., Jan. 29, 1814 He was the oldest of a family of seven children, all of whom save the colonel were born in Hornby, his brother George being the first boy born in Hornby.

The colonel's father was also a native of Connecticut, and one of the early pioneers of this county, and settled in Hornby in 1816. He cut the road through from Painted Post to his home in Hornby. He married Dimmis Brown, a native of Connecticut, who was born in 1795, and emigrated to Mont- gomery County ; married about 1813, and settled in Hornby in 1816. Amasa died in 1842, and she died Sept. 13, 1878, in Grand Rapids, Mich., and was buried in Hornby, at her request. The colonel came from one of the best pioneer families of the county.

He purchased his present farm about 1840, and since has added thereto, until now the family have two hun- dred and seventy-five acres. He has made nearly all the im- provements on his farm, chopping and clearing the same. His farm was always in a good state of cultivation, and he was con- sidered one of the leading farmers in the town or county. He married Samantha Tra
