    The Oneida and Stockbridge Indians found the territory of this town
    a favorite resort and regularly visited it as late as the close of the war
    of 1812, their southern trail extending through the western part. Many
    interesting and valuable Indian relics have been found in the town.

    Hamilton was one of the six townships patented to Col. William S. Smith, as described in an earlier chapter, on April 16, 1794. Townships 2, 3, 4 and 5 which formed the original great town of Hamilton,
    were soon transferred to Sir William Pultney, from whom Dominick
    Lynch, a New York merchant, who became a large land owner in and
    around Rome village, purchased the greater part of the 4th township,
    which included the territory of the present town of Hamilton, and it
    was surveyed for purchasers.

    The first settlement in this town was made in the spring of 1792, on
    the east branch of the Chenango, near the site of Earlville, by John Wells, Abner Nash, Patrick W. Shields and John Muir, who came together from Paris, Oneida county, driving a yoke of 'oxen, two cows and two hogs. Wells and Nash had made a snow-shoe trip to that locality earlier in the year, selected a location and built a log cabin.
    These two were originally from Amherst, Mass., while Shields and Muir were native Scotchmen. Mr. Wells brought in his wife and infant son and their route was defined only by marked trees. The cross-
    ing of the stream was made at the site of Hubbardsville with great difficulty, as it was swollen with recent rains. Mr. Wells settled on the
    east side of the river about midway between the sites of Poolville and Earlville. He immediately began keeping a tavern for the accommo-
    dation of the numerous persons who were passing by in quest of new homes; it was on his land also that the first store was kept by Israel
    Church. Mr. Wells died on his farm December 26, 1831. Their son William, the infant brought in with them, died in September, 1830.
    Henry, another son, was the first white child born in town — 1793 — and
    died in 1837. The other children were Jerry, Daniel, Alonzo, Horatio,
    Betsey and Caroline.

    Abner Nash, who with Shields and Muir, settled on farms near that
    of Mr. Wells, died in Earlville in 1837. His son, Horace, born in
    Hamilton in 1794, was the second white child born in the town. Shields
    was a British soldier in the Revolutionary war. Muir died in Hamil-
    ton in 1823, and had children, James, father of Harriet and John ; and
    David, father of Mrs. Albert Plumb
  • (Head of Household) Census: circa 1791; Paris, Oneida Co., New York, USA; In the winter of 1792, John Wells and Abner Nash, from Paris, Oneida County, N. Y., formerly from Amherst, Massachusetts, came on snow shoes and selected a location in the southern part of the town, on the east branch of the Chenango River, a short distance east from where the village of Earlville now stands, and returned to Paris. In the spring of the same year John Wells and his wife, Abner Nash; Patrick Shields and John Muir, the two latter from Scotland, left Paris with their goods and chattels, all of which were drawn on an ox sled, and, guided by marked trees, penetrated the wilderness. Mrs. Wells was provided with a horse on which she carried her infant son William, about one year of age. Their route was on the west side of the cedar swamp, between Waterville and Hamilton. Coming to the east branch of the Chenango which was swollen by recent rains, a new difficulty presented itself. Nothing daunted, Mrs. Wells urged her noble horse into the stream, and he swam over with Mrs. Wells clinging to the saddle and her child in her arms. Their goods were ferried over in an old canoe, the oxen swimming the river and drawing the empty sled. Soon after, they reached their new homes in safety.

    During the summer of the same year, Mrs. Wells, learning that there was a white woman about twelve or fourteen miles distant, in the town of Norwich, went on horseback, following marked trees, and made her a visit, there being no other white woman within that distance.

    Those four pioneer settlers took up a body of land on both sides of the Chenango River and then divided it. Horatio Sholes now lives where they settled. The first and only animals driven into town and owned by these pioneers, consisted of one yoke of oxen, two cows and two hogs. Mrs. Wells brought a small dog in her saddle bag, which was nearly drowned, being wholly submerged in crossing the Chenango.

    John Wells commenced keeping a public house immediately after his arrival, for numerous emigrants and those "looking land" were finding their way to the "Twenty Townships."

    The first living white child of the town was Harry, son of John Wells; the second was Horace, son of Abner Nash. On the premises of the first settler the first store of the town was kept by a Mr. Church. The first grist mill of the town known to the remembrance of the earliest living inhabitants, was conducted by Reuben Slater, Poolville.
  • (Head of Household) Census: 1792; (now Madison Co.), Hamilton, Chenango Co., New York, USA; The first to arrive were John Wells and Abner Nash who in 1792 explored and selected plots along the Sangerfield River a short distance east of where the village of Earlville now stands. Settlement was made the next year.
