    Samuel Jaques, a native of Hopkinton, R. I., a cooper and farmer, came to Genesee in 1827, and had to cut a road for one mile and a quarter. He brought his wife, five children, and all his household goods with one horse and a wagon. He made the first clearing on his farm of 100 acres, built his log house and later bought another 100 acres, for which he paid $1.25 per acre. Mr. Jaques died in 1883 aged 97 years, his wife died in 1877.
