Notes 2004: From "The Green County, A History" by Field Horne-1994, Written for the Greene County Historical Society and published by Black Dome Press, Hensonville, New York (ISBN 1-883789-02-08) the following was extracted regarding Samuel Ives coming to Greene Co.: "And Samuel Ives, who came from Wallingford, Connecticut in 1789, remembered the fine welcome his family received: 'Soon after going there...the family were startled at night by the sound of a violin, and listened to know whence it came. It moved towards the cabin, and never stopped its melody--the musicians marching right over brush fence and logs till they stood in the cabin of Mr. Ives--three old Wallingford neighbors, settlers upon the ridge, Eb. Johnson, Thorpe, and Sam Peck--marching to musical strains into the cabin and into the arms of their old Connecticut friends, and so giving them a brave welcome to the new country."

Isaac Mallory's place was below the Ormsbee tavern, at the bend of the road, and on the road running north from the turnpike, near the Catholic chapel, was that of James Tompkins, who came from Peekskill in 1810, and who had three children. Below the Catholic chapel, to the west, was Jacob Tiel, a soldier of 1812, and Chauncey Clark, west of the Martin stand, or inn. The John Ives tavern stand was near the western limits of Ashland. John married a daughter of Samuel Ives, who came from Wallingford, Conn., in 1789. Samuel was one of four brothers, soldiers of the Revolution. While away from home, a tory attempted to molest the family of Samuel Ives, and Mrs. Ives brought out a gun and drove him off. They first came to the Captain Mann place in Jewett, and afterward moved to the north of the Batavia in Ashland, where Daniel Ives, a descendant, now lives in the old homestead. _____ Notes 2004: From the Delaware County, New York Genealogy and History Website (http://dcnyhistory.org) BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW - 1895 - The Leading Citizens of Delaware County, NY This volume contains Biographical Sketches of The Leading Citizens of Delaware County New York Boston - Biographical Review Publishing Company 1895 - BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW - 11th Section - pages 499 - 550 (Page 532:)
