BIOGRAPHY: "History of Madison County - State of New York" page 425: "A settlement was commenced in 1796, in the east part of the town (Hamilton), called 'Colchester', now East Hamilton. The inhabitants, being chiefly emigrants from Colchester, CT gave it the name of their native town. The Ackleys, Calvin, Rodney, and Eli, three brothers, were conspicuous among the pioneers of Colchester. Some of their children are in possession of some of the excellent farms these men took up." |
