Person:Samuel Lundy (13)

!Samuel & his wife Elizabeth lived for some years at the great meadows in Warren Co., NJ, in the stone house built by Samuel Lundy I. In 1816, they removed to Seneca Co., NY, a section then known as the Lake Country and settled near Waterloo, within the compass of the Junius Monthly Meeting. Here, Samuel cleared up 300 acres, the land being so smooth that there was scarcely a stone on it large enough to throw at a bird. When building stones were required, he bought them at $4 a cord and carted them from Waterloo. He and his wife were members of the Society of Friends and are buried in Friends yard at Waterloo. Sunderland Gardner, an aged minister among Friends, preached at the funeral of Elizabeth and afterward at the funeral of Samuel. SOURCE: "The Lundy Family & Their Descendants" by W. C.
