“On April 4, 1803, the original military township of Tully, No. 14, including the present towns of Tully, Preble and Scott and portions of Spafford and Otisco, was given independent privileges as a civil town bearing the same name, and on the 8th of April, 1808, Fabius was reduced to its present limits by the formation of Cortland county, which took off nearly all of the towns of Truxton and Cuyler. In 1810 the territory under consideration contained about 1,900 inhabitants. Its settlement during the first decade of this century was very rapid. Joseph Simons had opened a second tavern near the center of the town and Colonel St. John started a third at Apulia.” History of the Towns of Fabius (www.usgenweb NY rootsweb) Dwight H.
