Erasmus and Deborah were the
parents of Clinton Watkins and settled on Sect 71. Their
house stood on the corner of Spangle Street
and the Turnpike. I remember the old house which was back of the newer
house which burned while the Burgesses owned the place. The Watkins may
have been the ones to set out the now old evergreen row of trees on the west. This is just a
guess.

On this lot there was no sign that there ever had been a burial. But from my mother I knew that the pioneer Robert Whitacre and his two wives(both pioneer women) were buried there and that at one time there were stones there. From the family records I had all dates of births and deaths. Also I had records of Robert Whitacre's service in the War of 1812, which led the Supervisors of Ontario Co. to erect a stone at his grave, according to a provision made by law that any unmarked soldier's grave may receive this recognition.
The original fami1y of Whitacres were Quakers and some of them still are. They belonged to that branch of Quakers which settled in and around Philadelphia. John Whitacre took up land in Bucks Co. Pa. in 1699. A grandson of his, Robert Whitacre,Sr. with his wife, Sarah Windmer, moved from Bucks Co. PA to Muncy, Pa. with their family. Their son Robert married Margaret Wytkoff, and in 1790 they came to Hopewell and settled on Sect. 19, on the Turnpike(across from the Purple place) They had 8 children when Margaret died. I think she was a sister of James Wyckoff(See Cem. Records).
Hugh Reznor and his wife Polly Johnston, also from Pa. lived across the road on Sect. 21. After Hugh's death, and after Robert returned from the War of 1812, he and Polly were married. They built the house which still stands, which we know as the Charles Brundage home. Robert and Polly's first child was Hannah Whitacre, who married my grandfather, George Brundage, Jr. who bought off the many heirs to the Whitacre farm, and gradually the place became known as the Brundage farm.
Editors
note : It appears from the above that these records were written by a
grand dau. of George Brundage, Jr.

Maria Wier's daughter Nancy,
married Charles Thomas Babcock and they were the parents of Mary
Babcock(Mrs. Fred Benham) After the stone on the Wier lot
had crumbled away, it was Mrs. Benham who purchased the present stone
and had it set on her grandmother's
grave. I think the Wiers lived on the
Cemetery Road, just over the Gorham line. No doubt there were other
burials on this lot.

------------
Lewis P. Witter's
home was just over the line in Gorham township, and on the cross
road back of the Jo Birdseye place. I believe that had been his parents
home also. I was very familiar with the house
during my growing
up years, but it does not stand any more. A pleasant white house, with
upright and wing running parallel with the road, white fence around,
barn across the road. They kept bees and I always looked forward to
Aunt Hannah treating me to home made bread and honey, when my mother and I would
walk through our farm lots, climb the fence and there we were for an
afternoon visit. A pleasant porch along the
side of the wing, and a double horse block which went up one side of
the fence and down the other. Once during my high school days, while my
mother and Aunt Hannah
were away visiting some cousins of the family,
I spent a week there keeping house for Uncle
Witter as I called him. He
was a very pius old
gentleman.
