Among the first settlers were Capt. Hezekiah Hooker, of
Kensington, a parish of Farmington, now Berlin, a
descendant of the celebrated Rev. Thomas Hooker.
of Hartford; and Jonathan Kelsey, of Waterbury, who
afterwards became deacons in the church of this
society. With Deacon Hooker came two of his sons,
Hezekiah, Jr., and James. From the first society came
Reuben and Josiah Avered, Francis and Joshua
Guiteau, Caleb and Ebenezer Lewis, Isaac Hill, Jr.,
Isaac Hotchkiss, Nathaniel Porter, and Samuel
Steele formerly of Farmington. From Farmington
came John Steele; from Litchfield, Thomas and
Ebenezer Thompson, and Ephraim Tyler from New
Chesire. Four years after the first settlement, the
number of families amounted to only fourteen; yet this
handful of people felt able to suport a minister a part
of the time, and accordingly petitioned the General
Assembly at its October session, 1738, for liberty to
"winter privileges" for five months, "in the most
difficult season of the year, viz., November, December,
January, February and March," as they lived so far from
church, it was impossible to attend. They also asked to
be exempted from taxes for repairing the old meeting-house
in the first society. This was to be done till they could hire
a minister all the time. These privileges were granted them
on the condition that they hired an "orthodox minister", and
refrain from voting in the first society, in relation to the meeting-
house. In May, 1739, they petitioned to be released from
parish taxes as long as they should hire a minister, and from
school taxes, on establishing a school of their own......
The signers to these several petitions were Hezekiah Hooker,
John Steele, Nathaniel Porter, Francis Guiteau, Caleb Lewis,
Joseph Clark, Josiah Avered, Ebenezer Lewis, C. Gibbs,
Jonathan Seley, Edmund Tompkins, Isaac Hill, John Parkis,
Reuben Avered, Ephraim Tyler, Caleb Wheeler, Ebenezer
Thompson, Beriah Dudley, Seth Avered. The prayer of the
petition was granted , the society was incorporated and
named Bethlehem.

(Rev War)The Graveyard of old Bethlehem (NOT ENTERED YET)
One stone near the entrance, is interesting, in that it marks the place where Simeon Gitteau, the great-grandfather of Charles J. Guitteau (as later spelt) who shot President Garfield, lies buried. Francis and Joshua Gitteau were among the first dozen settlers of the North Purchase coming from the "First Society" in Woodbury. They lived in the western part of town and the tombstone mentioned is that of one of their descendants. That Simeon Gitteau was a God-fearing, charitable man is attested by the inscription on the headstone to his grave, which reads: In memory of Mr. Simeon Gitteau Who died May 29, 1815 age 64 and who bequeathed to the Church of Christ in Bethlehem the sum of $333.34, the annual interest of which is to be appropriated to the support of the gospel ministry in Bethlehem May his memory for this be respected; May others follow his example and be beloved.

Elder Leland was willing to preach, pray and baptize among the
people, but positively refused to break bread for his church.
This position gave rise to much and varied discussion among the
members of the church.......Dr. Francis Gitteau, an eminent
physician of New Framingham who belonged to the church acted
upon this principal to show its fallacy. He argued that if such a
course was followed it would bring all churches to grief; but if it was
right for Elder Leland it was right for Dr. Gitteau. Perhaps its not
necessary to say that Dr. Gitteau was excommunicated while
Elder Leland was sustained.History of the Town of Lanesborough, Massachusetts, 1741-1905

Oneida Historical Society Year Book 1881-1886 (article on the Guiteau

Another brother (of Francis Guiteau Jr) was Calvin Guiteau, a well
known surveyor of the farms and first roads in Deerfield, who
became a resident of that town as early as 1797, was elected
in 1798 the first commissioner of highways in Deerfield, and
its supervisor in 1811; in 1817, he removed to Utica, in which
place he died.American Biographical Notes - page 182
Guiteau, Calvin. This and the two following were sons of Dr.
Francis Guiteau of Pittsfield Mass., who all settled in Oneida
County, N.Y. Calvin resided in Deerfield, and was much
employed as a surveyor in the central part of the state, from a
period at least as early as 1795. Francis was a physician in
Deerfield in 1792, and the first supervisor of the town; in
1801 he took up his residence in Utica, and until 1814 was
actively engaged there in the practice of his profession;
afterwards at Whitesboro, where he died about 1822.Early Settlers of New York State, Vol. I

Holland Land Company, Cazenovia Establishment
Surveyed by Calvin Guiteau, rendered by Alexandre Autrechy, 1794
It appears that Guiteau completed his survey in the early summer of 1795 and the first sale of record for this tract was made on June 25 of that year. For reasons unknown the next recorded sale of land within the village area was for a single lot a year later, and it was not until the summer of 1798 that any appreciable sales were recorded. It is not clear why there were few sales, but one reason was that people may have been hesitant to invest in land that might not grow as the proprietors wished. A number of people did lease lots from the Company in the early years. Perhaps in response to the slow sales the Company made a gift of a number of lots to several individuals in the summer of 1799. These people had been valued members of the community for several years and included the keeper of the Company Store keeper, a shoemaker, blacksmith, and a carpenter. Two other lots were given to Theophile Cazenove, a Company Agent.

Cooperation brings history to light.
Barneveld: On May 9th the Town of Trenton will be loaned the oldest original map on file in the Oneida County Clerk’s Office. The map will be officially loaned to the Town of Trenton Board by Oneida County Clerk, Richard Allen. The map had been in storage in the Oneida County Clerk’s Office until Betsy Mack, an Historian active in the Town of Trenton, took an interest to it. The map will be in a framed display in the Town of Trenton Municipal Offices on 8520 Old Poland Road in Barneveld. Last spring Historian Mack was in the Map Room of the Oneida County Clerk’s Office doing research when she came upon the map was made by land surveyor Calvin Guiteau in 1795. Mrs. Mack’s keen eye as an historian noticed that the map needed to be better protected so it could be around for future generations to view. She sought and received a grant for the preservation of this map from the Central New York Community Arts Council for $600. The Town of Trenton contributed the additional funding needed for the restoration. Using the grant money the map was sent to Cooperstown to Restoration Specialist Ellen Tilapaugh who restored and sealed it in Mylar. The Town then approved the funds to produce two working copies and to encase the original map in a frame. The map was originally made by Mr. Guiteau while working for Garret Boon and the Holland Land Company. The map encompasses the "Servis Patent" which included parts of Marcy, Remsen, Trenton and Deerfield. The Town of Trenton was separated from the Town of Schuyler on March 24, 1797 and contains part of the (Servis and Holland Patents) which were granted in 1769. According to Oneida County Clerk Richard Allen the map will be on loan indefinitely for display in the Trenton Municipal Center. Mr. Allen noted "that this type of cooperation between the Towns and the County is an excellent example of how we can share resources for the greater good of our citizens." Trenton Supervisor Mark Scheidelman stated that he was pleased that the County and Town work together to preserve the map. "Our residents will be able to view a piece of our history. This project should be an example for other municipal cooperation endeavors."GUITEAU, CALVIN. This and the two following were sons of Dr. Francis Guiteau of Pittsfield, Mass., who all settled in Oneida county, N.Y. Calvin resided in Deerfield, and was much employed as a surveyor in the central part of the state, from a period at least as early as 1795. Francis was a physician in Deerfield in 1792, and the first supervisor of the town; in 1801 he took up his residence in Utica, and until 1814 was actively engaged there in the practice of his profession; afterwards at Whitesboro, where he died about 1822.

Ephraim Guiteau, M.D.
Dr. Ephraim Guiteau, born in Bethlehem, then part of Woodbury,
settled in Norfolk about 1760. After ten years residence in
New Marlborough, Mass., after 1770, he returned to Norfolk
and remained there until his death, April 21, 1816, aged 79 years.
His elder brother, Dr. Francis Guiteau, was a life-long physician
to Lanesboro, Mass. The family was of Huguenot extraction,
and fled from France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
Oct 21, 1762, Dr. Ephraim Guiteau was married to Phebe
Humphrey, daughter of Dea. Michael Humphrey of Norfolk,
and tradition says theirs was the first wedding in the town
solemnized in a frame house. Mrs. Guiteau was an excellent
woman, and died Feb. 27, 1828, aged 83 years, having
outlived all her children. Their son, Philo Guiteau, M.D., died
in Norfolk in 1810, and their grandsons, Dr. Corydon Guiteau
in Lee, Mass., in 1853, and Rev. Sheridan Guiteau in
Baltimore, Md., in 1872. With his death the name was extinct
in this branch of the family. Miss Phebe Sophia Guiteau, who
died unmarried, was one of the earliest teachers in Norfolk,
whose name has come down to us. Another daughter of Dr.
Ephraim Guiteau, Louisa, married Dr. Benjamin Welch, Sen., of
Norfolk and was the mother of eight of his ten children.
Dr. Guiteau was an original member of the Medical Association
of Litchfield County, formed in Jan., 1767, and composed of the
most eminent physicians then in practice here. In 1783, he
represented the town in the General Assembly.
Dr. Guiteau had a good reputation as a physician, and was the
instructor of many Medical Students, some of them from other
states. He was in advance of his times as a medical practitioner,
and was acquainted with the Latin and French languages.
He was a member of the Congregational Church in Norfolk, and
at New Marlborough was chosen a Deacon in 1772. After his
return to Norfolk, he united with others in organizing an
Episcopal Society in 1786 and meetings were held at his house.
At a meeting Dec. 3, 1787, it was Voted "To write our wishes
to the Right Bishop Sebra(Seabury) for a Curate or preaching."History of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 1744-1900 Summer
