Samuel Crosson203. He married Nancy.

 Includes NotesNotes for Samuel Crosson:
Samuel Crosson was the founder of the town (Syracuse). He built a long mill west of the outlet of the lake as early as 1833. I remember when very young being in a great crowd of people and seeing the mill sink down under the waves, the chain having broken. A millrace was then dug and I remember well when it was dug and a mill built farther down the creek. In 1837, Syracuse was a flourishing village.

Mr. Crosson built a large frame dwelling with a ball-room up stairs. He had a family of beautiful daughters and one son. One of the daughters married Calvin Cory, another married William Guy and another, Jane Crosson, married John Gill. The girls were short lived, except Mrs. Guy; she was living in 1853. Jane, I remember well when she was a young unmarried woman. She taught me my ABC's The school house stood on the hill near where Widner's shop now stands. Mr. Crosson had one son, Samuel Crosson, Jr. He died when a young man about the year 1850. The widow was still living in 1853. A large store-room and dwelling was built about the year 1885 by Joseph Kirkpatrick. The crash of 1837 broke him up. This dwelling house was built about on the ground that the Methodist church occupies now. It was a large house for that day so far West, with a large brick chimney, with four fireplaces, two downstairs and two upstairs.
