356 Family Note: II. Nancy was born in Cumberland, R. I., and came to Jerusalem, Ontario Co., N. Y. in 1807. The journey from Providence to Penn Yan occupied thirty-one days. She married for her first husband in 1808, John Potter, son of Thomas Hazard Potter, who married Patience Wilkinson, sister of Jemima, and consequently her own cousin. The wedding took place on Sunday, and Monday a frame house was erected for them on a farm of 336 acres in the town of Potter, now Yates Co., near where she now resides. There were 30 or 40 acres cleared, and they commenced life with fair prospects. At that time the country was a wilderness—with no roads—not even a wagon track. Blaized sic trees and Indian trails were the guides to the early settlers' home in the forests. An Indian camp was near by, wolves and panthers were very plenty, and awakened mid-night echoes all around them. One day she was on a visit to a neighbors sic a few miles away, and night coming ere they were aware, she mounted her horse, and, with her infant babe in her arms, made her way through the dense woods towards home. The wolves were soon howling upon her track, and she urged her horse to the top of his speed in order to pass a certain dismal place before they should overtake her. Fortunately she arrived home in safety. In a ravine near by was a place called the wolves howling place. Here they appeared to congregate and make the night hideous by their incessant and prolonged howling. The concert would commence with a solitary howl from the eastern hills, which would be replied to from a western acclivity, and then another from the north, and a fourth from the south until the whole forest resounded with their dismal howlings.
Mrs. Potter introduced straw braiding, and making hats which were in great demand at that time. In 1813 Mr. Potter erected the first saw-mill on his farm, and afterwards, while aiding in similar enterprises farther down the stream, he became involved in consequence of fire, and lost several thousand dollars. All this tract of country from the center of Seneca Lake to the middle of Canandagua sic Lake—44,000 acres, was originally purchased by the Potters. It is a fertile and beautiful section well wooded and watered, well adapted to grain and grazing. Mr. Potter died in 1854. Mrs. Potter is still living at the advanced age of 80—a woman of remarkable energy and perseverence. She says, she has seen that country "from a wilderness to a garden." In 1862 she married for a second husband James Johnson, and still resides in the town of Potter near her first residence there, in a house of her own building. By her first husband she had nine children, some of whom have lived and become distinguished in their callings. They are as follows:
Eliza A., b. June 20, 1809, m. Feb. 27, 1827, by Rev. Dennison Smith, M.E.C., r. at Middlesex, Yates Co., N. Y., to John H. Gleason, son of John Gleason and Anna Holmes, his wife. He was born April 6, 1799, in Pomfret, Ct. They have

Helen Mar sic, b. June 4, 1840, m. Melville W. Robert.
Hazard Arnold, b. Dec. 21, 1810, m. Louisa Ballou of Cumberland, R. I., resides at Geneva, N. Y. Mr. Potter is a practicing physician. He has a great reputation as a surgeon. He studied with Dr. Frank Potter of Penn Yan—a cousin—attended lectures at Boston, Mass., Bowdoin College, Maine, Dartmouth College, N. H., and took his diploma at Bowdoin. He first settled on Cumberland Hill, R. I., then in Potter, Yates Co., N. Y., and had a good practice in both places. He moved thence to Battle Creek, Mich., where he remained some time, and in 1855, removed to Geneva, where he now resides. He was principal surgeon in the Army during the Great Rebellion. As a surgical operator no man in America has a more extend sic reputation, and in Europe he is well known. An account of one of his operations in the March No. of the "New York Medical Journal of Collateral Sciences." He was the first to operate upon the spine, and frequent mention is made of his surgical exploits in the public prints. He has a son of great promise, now a surgeon in the Army—a graduate of Hobart College.
Jeptha Avery, b. Apr. 24, 1813, married, Aug. 27, 1840, Sarah, daughter of Noah Davis, a native of Wales, has no children. He has interested himself in taking boys, and educating them in the business of farming, one of whom is now the owner of a farm in Michigan. He resides on the old homestead in the town of Potter, Yates Co., N. Y., and owns a farm of 320 acres which is worth more to-day than the 44000 bought by his ancestors at the time of their purchase. He is engaged in the sheep business and owns the best stock sheep in the world. He paid $3000 for a single buck which he found in the state of Vermont, and values him at $4000. This sheep sheared thirty-one and a half pounds in 1865, and paid for himself within a year or two from the time he was bought.
Mr. Wilkinson is an active member of the Methodist Church with which he united in 1847, during the pastorate of Rev. George Wilkinson. He has been frequently solicited to town and county offices, but declines the honor.
John Wilkinson, b. Sept. 9, 1816, studied medicine with his brother Hazard—attended lectures at Geneva Medical College where he took his diploma. He was never settled but practiced at different places—was never married—resided for a time at Prattsbergh sic, [Steuben Co.,] N. Y., and died July 11, 1856 from the effects of virus taken from a fractured arm of a patient, at the age of 40. He was a prominent and promising young man.

366 Family Note:

There is some ambiguity for the birth places of the Wilkinson family.

Rev. Isaac Wilkinson, in his 1869 Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family, records that Jeptha, Sr. was born in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and that he met his wife, Sarah, in Paris, France.  Sarah's father, however, was English;  While most researchers have concluded that Rev. Wilkinson's statement to mean that Sarah was born in France, this is not proved.

The IGI sources for the children of Jeptha Avery Wilkinson gave their birth place as London, England, and for the parents as Rhode Island and "Of Paris France."

The census records are inconsistent.

  • The 1850 census recorded New York as the birthplace for the entire family.
  • The 1860 census recorded Jeptha Sr. as being born in Rhode Island, others variously as England, France, Rhode Island, and New York.
  • The 1880 census record for Jeptha's son, Jeptha Jr., including his now widowed Sarah and children Ellen and Mary, recorded Jeptha Sr's. birth place as England. The children were recorded variously as Jeptha - England, Ellen - France, and Mary - New York. Sarah was recorded as England.

I have elected to use Rev. Wilkinson's account as the source for his birth place; and England for that of his wife.

I have elected to record the birth places for other family members in agreement with the 1850 census, modified, for those found in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses to what was recorded there.

 
Wilkinson, Jeptha Avery Sr. ^ (I183)
 
367 Family Note:

There is some ambiguity for the birth places of the Wilkinson family.

Rev. Isaac Wilkinson, in his 1869 Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family, records that Jeptha, Sr. was born in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and that he met his wife, Sarah, in Paris, France.  Sarah's father, however, was English;  While most researchers have concluded that Rev. Wilkinson's statement to mean that Sarah was born in France, this is not proved.

The IGI sources for the children of Jeptha Avery Wilkinson gave their birth place as London, England, and for the parents as Rhode Island and "Of Paris France."

The census records are inconsistent.

  • The 1850 census recorded New York as the birthplace for the entire family.
  • The 1860 census recorded Jeptha Sr. as being born in Rhode Island, others variously as England, France, Rhode Island, and New York.
  • The 1880 census record for Jeptha's son, Jeptha Jr., including his now widowed Sarah and children Ellen and Mary, recorded Jeptha Sr's. birth place as England. The children were recorded variously as Jeptha - England, Ellen - France, and Mary - New York. Sarah was recorded as England.

I have elected to use Rev. Wilkinson's account as the source for his birth place; and England for that of his wife.

I have elected to record the birth places for other family members in agreement with the 1850 census, modified, for those found in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses to what was recorded there.

380 Family Note: Who were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kaufman?

That they were related to Minna Kost, Frederick W. Kost's unmarried sister, seems indisputable, based on the numerous mentions of them in the Patchogue Advance newspaper and Minna's obituary in the New York Times. In one Advance account, Mr. Arthur Kaufman (Sr.) was Minna's "cousin." In another, Reginald Kauffman (Arthur's brother) was identified as Minna's "cousin." A Herbert Pendleton of Bradford (PA) is identified as her "nephew"—he was a son of Arthur's sister who married a Mr. John Pendleton and resided in Bradford. Arthur Kauffmann, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kauffmann, was mentioned as being Minna's "nephew."

The New York Times obituary for Anna (Minna) Kost, identify a Mr. and Mrs Arthur Kaufman as being her "cousins." Strictly speaking then, they would have been the children of one of Minna's parents' siblings. Her parents are here identified as Joseph and Catherine Kost. We have not yet identified any of Joseph's or Catherine's siblings.

Local remembrances of them are that Mrs. Arthur Kaufman was "Minna Kost's sister." However, by now most of these remembrances are second hand. One somewhat ambiguous Advance newspaper account mentions her given name as Aileen (she was more definitely identified as Aileen from the census record). Minna apparently had only one sister, Emma. If Mrs. Arthur Kaufman had been Minna's sister, she would seem to have been too old to have had Arthur, Jr., who was mentioned as having been in the Navy during World War II, and as having attended the Merchant Marine Academy previously. And if she were Minna's sister, it was odd that the relationship between Minna and Mrs. Arthur Kaufman was never identified in this way.

While the next generation children, Arthur Kaufman Jr. and Herbert Pendleton are identified in the Advance as "nephews," strictly speaking they would have been 1st cousins once removed.

Census data provides some clarity. In the 1900 census, Arthur (aged 9) and others are found as children in the household of Emil and Hattie Kaufman on Staten Island. In the 1920 census, Reginald Kaufman (aged 17) was found as a son in the household of Emil and Hattie Kaufman of Staten Island. In the 1930 census, Reginald Kaufman, Hattie Pendleton (daughter), and Herbert Pendleton (grandson) were found in the household of Hattie Kaufman on Staten Island, as was Arthur and his wife Aileen and son Arthur Jr.

Some have said that Mrs. Kaufman was the proprietor of a guest house—specifically the Hawkins house at 311 Beaver Dam Road, Brookhaven, NY. No supporting evidence has yet been found to support this.

Working hypothesis: Emil or Hattie Kaufman are siblings of Joseph or Catherine Kost, parents of Minna and Frederick Kost. If Emil is the relationship, then Catherine's birth surname was Kaufman; if Hattie is the relationship, then her birth surname was Kost or another (she could be a sister to either Joseph or Catherine); however, since Hattie's parents were born in Vermont, a relationship through Hattie is unlikely; no connection of the Kosts to Vermont has yet been found. It is unlikely that Mrs. Arthur Kaufman was Minna's sister.

382 Family Note: [The 1870 census record creates an ambiguityfor the family. In the 1880 census, the older children are clearly that of the 1870 census that had George Hand as the head, and Harriet as the inferred mother. George died in 1878. In the 1880 census, Mary Hand (age 44, b. 1838) was enumerated as the head of the household, with children Henry G. (17), Frank H. (14), Jetur W. (12), and Nellie S. (6). Nellie was therefore born after the 1870 census. Harriet of the 1870 census was born 1835.] Hand, George > (I5683)
 
383 For someone who appears to have been well known in the community for many years, he is elusive. Except for the 1920 census record, and various notations on post cards and photographs, I have found little on him.

384 Foster Lee Hawkins worked with the Port Jefferson shipyard (formerly the John T. Mather Shipyard). After his public schooling and three year apprenticeship in his father's shipyard, he took a four year course in naval architecture and resumed work with his father. From 1901 to 1914 he managed the shipyard of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport, CT. From 1914 to 1918 he was President of the New Haven Shipyard and Yacht Builders, Inc. In 1918, he organized and directed the Housatonic Shipbuilding Company of Stratford, CT. During WWI he was Senior Marine Engineer with the U.S. Government designing and building Army Transport Vessels. Following WWI, he sold his interests in the shipyards. He retired in 1927 for reasons of health. He subsequently sold life insurance, was a welfare investigator and a reporter for the Long Island News.

386 Frederick Bourne Hard, 96, of Stamford, Conn., died July 1 after a brief illness.
Mr. Hard had been for some time at the top of the seniority list of the New York Stock Exchange, having acquired his seat in 1933. During his long career, he served as partner and floor broker for several New York city firms, including Taylor, Smith & Hard, W.R.K. Taylor & Co., McMullen and Hard and finally for H.G. Wellington & Co., Inc. until his retirement.
Born on Oct. 10, 1910 in Sayville, N.Y., he was a son of Anson Wales Hard Jr. and Florence Bourne Hard. Their West Sayville estate, which was a wedding present from Florence's father, Frederick G. Bourne of Oakdale, bordered on Long Island's Great South Bay, where Mr. Hard learned to love everything to do with boats and the bay.
He loved boats and the engines that propelled them, but his favorite of all were sailing vessels of all sizes and types, from dinghies to full-rigged ships. He understood them; he owned many, built some, restored some and sailed and raced some, with particular emphasis on vessels built in the Herreshoff yards.
His house in Edgartown was his base in later years for all those activities, and his mooring in the harbor was hardly ever without a sailing vessel of some kind. A number of those boats still are owned by Vineyard residents.
Mr. Hard's schooling included the Pomfret School, Hun School and University of Virginia, where he was a member of the St. Anthony Society and excelled in boxing.
On Jan. 31, 1933 he married Hildegarde Stevenson, daughter of Joseph H. Stevenson and Hildegarde Kobbé.
He and his wife lived in Bay Shore, N.Y. For many years, he commuted to work at the New York Stock Exchange. During World War II, he served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard. By the end of the war, he was in command of a ship in the U.S. Navy.
In 1965, he and his wife moved to Stamford, Conn., and spent summers at their house in Edgartown.
Mr. Hard was predeceased by three brothers, Anson Wales Hard, III, George Wales Hard and William Lawrence Hard; and one sister, Florence H. (Cherie) Hughes.
Survivors include his wife, Hildegarde; a brother, Kenneth Blanchard Hard; three sons, Frederick Bourne Jr. of Wardsboro, Vt., Michael Wales of Tucson, Ariz., and David Francis of Boulder, Colo.; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces.
His club memberships included the New York Yacht Club, Cruising Club of America, Racquet & Tennis Club and many others over his lifetime. He was also a past member of the Edgartown Yacht Club and the Reading Room in Edgartown.
No funeral service will be held. Instead of a formal memorial service, his relatives and friends are urged to set aside five minutes, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday to remember him as each person feels appropriate.
Memorial contributions may be sent to the Long Island Maritime Museum, P.O. Box 184, West Sayville, N.Y. 11796, where Mr. Hard was one of the founders and served on the board of trustees for many years.

388 From "Book of Strattons":
"John was one of the founders of East Hampton, a prominent citizen and a man of considerable property. He was baptized Aug. 14, 1621 in London, the third son of William amd Elizabeth Stratton. Just when John Stratton first left Tenterden in County Kent, England for America is not known but he was twenty-eight when he settled in East Hampton, where his brother Richard joined him within a year.

"His [John Stratton] name stands fifth on the list of founders of the town, and from the first he was a prominet man among the settlers. In 1652 the boundaries of his home lot are given in the town records as follows: "John Stratton ffour ackers upon the litel plaine be it more or lesse by the hie way South and Thomas Talmage junior West and on the North parte agt Luke Lille and part agt Richard Straton: and the hie way East.

"John Stratton Sr. and John Jr. employed two Indians, Harry and Hector, to go to sea for them to kill whales off shore at East Hampton. The Indians get to have half their catch in both oil and bone. The agreement made March 18, 1680/1681 was witnessed by Joseph and Cornelius Stratton."

389 From "Portrait and Biographical Record:"

CHARLES HALLOCK HULSE.
The truth of Shakespeare's well known epigram, "there is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them how you will, " is proved hundreds of times daily. Even so has it been in the career of our subject. Born in a modest sphere of life, making it necessary for him to work from the earliest childhood, and with the most limited opportunities to acquire an education, he still has made of himself that noblest work of God--an honest, honorable man, who takes his place in society as a good and respected citizen. By calling, Mr. Hulse is a contractor and a builder, located at Sayville. He was born in Brook Haven [then Fireplace], April 25, 1835, and is a son of Hampton and Eliza A. (Wines) Hulse [his parentage quoted here is likely an error. Elsewhere on the Portrait and Biographical Record he is recorded as a brother to W. W. Hulse, whose parentage is as recorded here.]. A more extended notice of the family history may be found in the sketch of W. W. Hulse, of Bay Shore.

As before said, our subject was early put into the harness. His father died when he was fourteen years of age, and he early felt the pressure of earnestness of life. He was required to work throughout the pleasant weather, while only the dull, inclement days were allowed him to attend school. He learned his trade, that of carpenter and builder, in Port Jefferson, the years from eighteen to twenty-one being spent in apprenticeship. He then removed to Brooklyn, where he was engaged in the business for fourteen years. During that time he had accumulated a snug competency, and when he came to Sayville he purchased real estate for which he paid $9,000, a large price for twenty-five years ago. It proved, however, to be a good investment, although he carried it for some time at considerable cost, but when at last it was sold, he made handsomely from it. He still owns considerable real estate, and by virtue of his holdings has become quite interested in the business of transferring property. He has built many houses, having an excellent reputation in his line in this locality. Although his first youth is past, he is still as much in the harness as ever, having all he can do to fill contracts for large buildings as well as private residences.

Charles Hulse was married to Sarah E. Hawkins of Brook Haven, December 21, 1856. Mrs. Hulse was born in Bellport, and was taken to Brook Haven by her parents when two years of age. Our subject and his wife are the parents of six children, namely: Arcelis, who is the wife of Henry O. Newton, a resident of this place; Ella, the wife of Thomas Overington, also living here; Charles, deceased; Louis G.; Clarence H., who is a physician, practicing at Sayville; and Archie M., at present attending school.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Hulse are devoted Prohibitionists, having given much time and enthusiasm to the work for the past sixteen years, and Mr. Hulse can give good reasons for the faith that is in him. He is now a candidate for the Assembly. Fraternally he is a Mason, and has been for the last fourteen years. He is also a Good Templar. He and his family are worshippers with the Methodists, in which body he is a Trustee, Steward and Class-leader, and has been most of the time for the past forty years. He is also much interested in Sunday-school work. It is most gratifying to see such a courteous Christian gentleman and reliable man at the head of so fine a home as he possesses in this place.

390 From 'Portrait and Biographical Record:"

W. W. Hulse. The story of the life of a worthy citizen should be given to the public; it should be read by all our people, that they may profit by the example; the lessons should be studied, and the good they inculcate impressed upon the minds of the youth of our land. All may glean from them some kernels of wisdom for present use, and store up knowledge and information which will be of benefit in after life. It is of such a citizen that we write. the story of the life of the subject of this sketch is no ordinary one; for few men on Long Island have a more faithful record as a soldier, or more upright and distinguished one as a civilian, than W. W. Hulse of Bay Shore.

Mr Hulse was born, August 29, 1838, in Brook Haven, and is of Dutch extraction on the paternal side, his ancestors being among the first settlers of Long Island. His father, David Overton Hulse, was born in Suffolk County in 1777, just at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and died when seventy-three years old. He was a remarkable man, an educator of exceptional ability, well posted on all subjects, and a leader among men. Mrs Hulse, whose maiden name was Sarah Hallock, was born at Stony Brook. She was a lineal descendent of Peter Hallock, one of the Pilgrim fathers who in 1642 occupied what is now Southold. He was the first man of the ship's company that landed, and to this day the particular spot is called "Hallock's Point" in commemoration of that event. Of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Hulse we mention the following: Charlotte resides at Bellport and is now eighty-one years old; Sarah married John D. Rider, of Bellport; Mary became the wife of Charles W. Pease, and both are now deceased; Jane married G. R. Rimmington and died about twenty-four years ago; David, born in 1826, is a builder of Brooklyn; Sarepta is the widow of Ephraim Pease; Van Buren resides in Bay Shore; Andrew is a builder in Brooklyn; Charles follows the same calling in Sayville; William Warren is our subject, and three died young.

William W. Hulse received his primary education in the district school, but at a comparatively early age left school and learned the trade of mason with his brother, David H. In 1853, while working at his trade in Brooklyn, he completed his education at a grammar school in Green Point. On the 15th of August, 1862, which was the darkest of all the gloomy periods of the Civil War, Mr. Hulse joined the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh New York Monitors, the regiment commanded by Col. W. Guerney and Lieut.-Col. Stewart L. Woodford. He served with this command all through the war, and after returning North engaged in the building business. He selected his wife in the person of Miss Josephine Worth, daughter of a Methodist minister, and their union was celebrated in Brook Haven, June 3, 1867. There eight children were as follows: Justus Warren, who married Miss Maud Wicks of Brooklyn; Martha Hallock; David Eugene; Bertha Eliose; Blanch; Ethel Worth; Mabel, and Laura.

Politically Mr. Hulse is a stanch Republican, and has taken some interest in local politics. Had he cared to turn his attention in that direction he would have been a leading politician. In 1881 he was a delegate to the Republican county convention at Riverhead, and it was the sentiment of the convention to make no nomination for Superintendent of the Poor. W. T. Hulse, of Port Jefferson, a Democrat seemed to have a clear field. H. T. Clock, a delegate from Bay Shore, rose and made the remark that they were there to nominate a ticket, and did not believe in leaving any place on it vacant for a Democrat. The consequence was that W. W. Hulse was nominated, much to that gentleman's surprise. He was subsequently elected by a clear majority of two hundred and sixty-five. While serving two terms in that capacity he did much to purify that department of county government. The second term as Superintendent he ran against John S. Havens, an excellent man in every way, but our subject carried the day by six hundred and fifty.

Our subject has also served as Assessor and for nearly a score of years was a member of the Board of Education, being President of the same a large portion of the time. He is a present president of the Great South Bay Steamboat Company and vice-president of the Long Island Chautauqua Assembly Association, representative of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, president of Veteran Association of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Regiment, New York State Volunteers, and commander of William Gurney Post, G. A. R. He is past regent of Bay Shore Royal Arcanum, and is also a Free mason, having taken his degree in Brooklyn Lodge 403. In his youth Mr. Hulse was licensed to preach in the Methodist Episcopal Church, but of late years he has become intensely interested in the Church of the New Jerusalem (known as Swedenborgian), and service are held regularly at his house. He is well posted, a ready speaker, a strong debater, and has an intelligent grasp on all public questions. In fact, he stands to-day among the foremost men of Suffolk County. He is an eloquent speaker on the temperance question and takes exceptionally strong grounds against the tobacco habit. He has read the statements of many able physicians and others, and from these and his own careful observations for many years firmly believes that this vile, filthy habit causes more physical suffering and death and ruins more souls by far than the drink habit, as it makes the subjects the more abject slaves. He says the time is surely coming when to sell the deadly poison will be a crime in the eye of human law as it now most surely is when viewed from the "higher law."

Mr. Hulse is now engaged in the real estate and insurance business, and to what thorough and masterly development modern business methods have brought real estate and insurance interests in this country can be readily seen at the widely known bureau for that business which for the past fifteen years has been conducted at Bay Shore by our subject. His thoroughly equipped offices are on Main street, opposite Park avenue, and for the period indicated have been the center throughout this section of Long Island of all matters of that kind. The wide and valuable business conducted is solid evidence of first-class facilities afforded by Mr. Hulse. For many yeas he has made a special study of these important lines. He can, therefore, speak with authority, and his judgements are all attested by the confidence now given to them, not only by the most experienced business men of this section, but also by a large number of outside parties. He handles every kind of real estate business, and can present in brief, comprehensive form the scope of the local market. He represents the most important fire insurance companies of this country, and he also is the general agent for the Prudential Life, and Lloyd's Plate Glass Insurance Company.
