The marriage of Hiram’s daughter, Sarah Lavinia to “Martin J. Merrifield” on January 1, 1857 was noted in the Villanova Circuit Church Marriage Records 1856 – 1888. The record states the marriage took place at the “House of H. Edgerton, Dayton” and that the witnesses were “Nelson Leonard and wife” – that is, Sarah’s eldest sister, Maryette (Edgerton) Leonard and her husband, Joseph Nelson Leonard. In the latter 1860’s, Hiram Edgerton sold or transferred his property in Dayton and purchased a large farm in Hanover Township in the neighboring county of Chautauqua. In 1879, Hiram’s heirs “George D. Edgerton, Edmund A. Edgerton and Mary Anne Edgerton” sold the western 40 acres of this property to Caroline M. Grantier. The remaining 100 acres of the farm are found listed on the F. W. Beers 1881 Atlas of Chautauqua County as the property of “G. Edgarton”. The present location of this farm is at 308 Route 39 in Forestvale (Hanover Township). The household of Hiram
“Edjartin” was recorded in the 1870 Federal Census
