| Mr David Chapin stopped by to find out if we had any information on the place of burial for Uriel Chapin. He |
| was the first Supervisor for the Town of Pulteney. He served for the terms 1808-1809 and 1811-1812. There |
| doesn't seem to be much information on him or his family. Through Ancestry.com, I was able to find him in |
| Massachusetts in the 1830 census. David said that is where Uriel came from, so it appears he headed back |
| to family. There also was a Uriel Chapin who built a mill in Seneca Falls. Because I don't know date of birth or |
| any other information, it's hard to tell if that was him or a relative. Mr. Chapin thanked me for what information |
| I could get. He said it was more than he had hoped for and was very appreciative. |
|
| I'm still working on the Glenview Cemetery burials. As usual, one thing leads to another, so as I get side- |
| tracked, the work gets done slower than I would like. |
|
| Dave Clancy called to make sure we still wanted him to do the $2000.00 worth of work on the Presbyterian |
| Cemetery this spring. I told Mr Clancy that I would verify this and get back to him. I went to the Urbana Town |
| Clerk to see what information she might have as to who else does this kind of work. The Village of |
| Hammondsport renovated their cemetery a few years ago. She will get in touch with Emory Cummings, who is |
| in charge of the Village road crew who maintains this cemetery to see if anyone remembers who did the work. |
| Also, the Urbana Town Clerk has a message in to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery board to see who they use for |
| their repairs. She will get back to me. |
|
| I looked at the 2010 Pulteney Town Budget and did not see the $2000.00 that the Town Board said would |
| be used for work on the Presbyterian Cemetery this year. |
|
| I received an e-mail from Marilyn Pierce thanking me for the information on Seth Pierce. (An early settler |
| in the Town of Pulteney around 1806) She said she will send me a copy of the obituary of one of his sons. |
| (Joshua). She also will send me copies of work she has done for our family file on the Pierces. |

|
| I have received a request via Phyllis Peek (her daughter brought it over) from Shay Michael Pickett who |
| lives in Seattle, Washington. I will e-mail him to tell him that I will try to answer his questions soon. I'm not |
| sure how much help I can be, because our records are very sparse before 1888. |
