TWO GENERATIONS OF DESCENDANTS OF
ZEBULON BARNUM AND HIS WIFE, BETSEY FERSTER,
EARLY PIONEERS OF CARLTON, ORLEANS CO., NY
1. Zebulon BARNUM, 5G Grandfather. Born on 19 Dec 1773 in Danbury, CT
[Ridgefield, Fairfield Co., CT]. Zebulon died in Carlton Twp., Barry Co,
MI on 28 Nov 1848; he was 74. Buried in Fuller Cem., Carlton Twp., Barry
Co, MI. Occupation: Farmer.
He was born in Danbury, CT; in 1804 lived in Hartland, NY; 1817 Carlton,
Orleans Co, NY; 1835, Barry Co, MI.
He named the town of Carlton Center in Barry County, Michigan, after his
homeland, Carlton, Orleans County, NY
The book, "History of Orleans County, New York" on pg 162 contains the
following--...was a carding machine in Kenyonville at the early day, and
Zebulon Barnum, one of those universal geniuses who were better
appreciated years ago than now, erected a shop table a mile southwest of
Kuckville, where he manufactured wooden plows for the farmers and
carried on the tailoring and blacksmithing businesses."
Medical: He was 74 years, 11 months, 17 days old when he died
Research: "A History of the Old Town of Stratford ... & Bridgeport, CT"
by Rev. Samuel Orcutt
Zebulon Barnum was on the Assessment Roll of Real & Personal Estates of
Hartland, Niagara Co., NY, pg 14, June 7, 1813; Hartland consisted of
the present towns of Hartland, Somerset, Royalton & parts of Newfane &
Lockport, roughly the eastern half of Niagara Co.
"Landmarks of Orleans County, NY," pg 168
"History of Allegan & Barry Counties, MI"
"First Landowners of Barry County, MI"---[Carlton Twp., Town 4 North,
Range 8 West] Zebulon Barnum, section 25, 160 acres, date of patent
7-26-1836
Vital records from Barry County Clerk's office, Hastings, MI
"The History of Woodland, MI, 1837-1987"
Notes from Marilyn Furstenau of Elsie, MI, deceased, permission from her
husband granted to copy her material, ca 1989
Information received in 1990 from Betty Goodgame, Adin, CA [she was
writing a book on the Barnum family]
1820 NY federal census--Zebulon Barnum, Genesee Co., Gains, 139
1830 federal census, Carlton, Orleans Co, NY, pg 101
On 31 Jul 1798 when Zebulon was 24, he married Betsey FERSTER, in ? Born
on 17 Nov 1779 in CT. Betsey died in Carlton, Barry Co, MI on 12 Apr
1863; she was 83. Buried in Fuller Cem., Carlton Twp., Barry Co, MI.
Occupation: Housewife.
The obituary of Mrs. Betsey J. Rogers of Carlton Twp. [The Hastings
Banner, 16 May 1907, pg 6] indicates that "Betsey J. Firster, the
youngest of six children, was born June 2, 1833, in Orleans County, New
York. Her father, George Firster, died when she was but a child, after
which she and her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Firster, moved to Ingham
County, where they resided with Mrs. Firster's sister, Mrs. Matilda
Abbey.
May 17th 1855, the deceased was united in marriage to Jeremiah M.
Rogers, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Cordelia Fuller..."
My guess is that Betsey Ferster Barnum and George Firster were brother
and sister, but I don't have proof at this time.
-----------------------
George Firster was enumerated in the 1850 census at Carlton, Orleans
Co., NY, on 15 July 1850, pg 2 (17/191)--George Firster, 56, male,
farmer, value of estate $150, born PA; Mary, 49, female, bp CT; Mary I
(?), 23, female, bp NY; Catherine L, 17, f, bp NY; Josephene C, 14, f,
bp NY; Dan B, 11, m, bp NY, attends school
Also appearing in the 1850 census of Carlton, Orleans Co., NY, are the
following. I think it's very likely that Jacob Ferster, 74, is Betsey's
brother:
FERSTER, ANDREW 26 M NY CARPENTER 535
EMMA 18 F NY
ELECTA 1 F NY
FERSTER, JACOB 74 M PENN CARPENTER 533
MEHETIBLE 50 F VT
DAVID 20 M NY
JAMES 28 M NY
CATHERINE 18 F NY
LUCINDA 16 F NY
FERSTER, LUCINDA - SEE WEST 469
FERSTER - SEE YARRINGTON 77
------------------------
Also, Cordelia Ferster, wife of John J. Fuller of Carlton Twp., Barry
Co., may have been a relative of Betsey's.
In the 1870 census, John J. & Cordelia Fuller had an 18 year old male
farm laborer living with them, named Evelyn Ferster
Another possible relative found in the 1850 census of Yates, Orleans
Co., MI--FIRSTER, HIRAM, 30, M, NY, HARNESS MAKER, 378; RACHAEL, 23, F,
NY; MALVINA, 3, F, NY; WILLIAM H., 2, M, NY
------------------------
The following e-mail message was received from Steven Allan Mercer
(MERCER0260@aol.com) dated 9 Aug 1998:
"Don't know of anyone that has been researching the Firsters of Barry
Co. and the info that I have is very limited. I, Steven Allan Mercer son
of Richard Samuel Mercer Jr. and Sybil Lucille Woodmansee, daughter of
Andrew Jackson Woodmansee Jr. and Myra L. Firster b. 1/31/1879 d.
4/18/1965 in Hastings, MI, daughter of Lois Ann Andrus and George E.
Firster, son of Seth Firster and Samantha (unknown) Firster. No dates
other than the ones mentioned. My grandmother (Myra) had 1 brother
Herbert S. Firster b. 9/01/1876 and 2 sisters, Mary K. b. 7/14/1883 and
Lois Ann b. 1/11/1886. Lois Ann m. Royal A. Wickham and Mary K. m. Aleck
James Bolter. That's about it, may have more on some of their kids, will
get back to you later if I do. Most of all buried at Fuller Cem. just
outside of Hastings.
-----------------------------
The following e-mail dated 28 Nov 1998 was received from Marc Archer
(marcher@gfn.org):
Debra, you are the first person I've seen to be interested in the
Ferster family. I almost didn't pursue your query. I thought that the
possibility of your family being connected to mine was very removed.
But, when you mentioned Carlton, Orleans Co., NY, I thought there must
be a connection.
There are two men named Ferster in the 1810 census of Genesee Co., NY.
This is in an area that later (1824) became Orleans Co., NY. They were
living near my relatives.
in 1840, in either Milan, Monroe Co., MI, or York Twp., Washtenaw Co.,
MI, Erastus Knickerbocker (son of Darius Knickerbocker and Prudence Ann
Ellsworth) m. Lucretia Allen (dau. of Talcot Allen and Lucy Rice). The
two witnesses were Edward and Allen Foster. Later, I found that Edward
Foster was really Edward Ferster/Firster. I haven't been able to find
Allen Foster, but believe he was a Ferster too. One of the men from the
1810 census was in either the 1830 or 1840 census of MI, living in
Monroe Co., MI.
Lucretia Allen's stepfather was Joseph Sackett. Erastus Knickerbocker's
sister Lucinda m. Amos Sacket, and there were other Sackett connections.
In 1838, Arden Sackett was born to _____ Sackett and Fanny Ferster in
London Twp., Monroe Co., MI. All these people are from Carlton, Orleans
Co., NY, and show up in the same area of MI about 1833.
I haven't been able to find any of them in the 1830 census of NY. I
believe an area was missed, or part of the census is missing.
Edward Firster, the witness of Lucretia Allen's marriage, married Lucy
Allen, sister of Lucretia. Large parts of this family removed to Kent
Co., MI by 1850.
One of Fanny Ferster's children, by her second husband, John Bunce, was
living in Grand Rapids, MI about 1881. Her name was Laura b. 1840. There
was also: Hannah b. 1843 resided in 1881 in Milan village, and Fanny b.
1844 (the year her mother died) resided in Clair Co., MI. I don't know
who any of these girls married.
-----------------------
Another e-mail from Marc Archer dated 1 Dec 1998:
In the 1881 Atlas and Biographical Sketches of Monroe Co., MI, pg 194,
under Milan Twp. is:
Medical: She was 83 years, 4 months, 25 days old when she died
Research: The 1840 census in Carlton, Orleans Co, NY shows a George
Fister [1/0/0/1/1/0/1 (males) -- 0/1/0/1/0/0/1 (females)]--he could
possibly be Betsey's father or brother, not sure.
1850 federal census, Carlton Twp., Barry Co., MI, 14 Sep 1850, pg 115,
752/771--Betsy Barnum, 65, f, NY [Note: Living next door (753/772) was
Seth P. Fester, 21, m, 1000, NY. He obviously was a relative of Betsey

NEIGHBORING VILLAGE AGAIN VISITED BY FIRE
The Large Frame House of M. P. Fuller at Woodland Destroyed Sunday
Evening
Again our village has suffered from the effect of another disastrous
fire.
Sunday night about 9 o’clock as the people were leaving the M. E.
church, fire was discovered in the large frame dwelling house of M. P.
Fuller on East Broadway. When first discovered it was in the Ward house
adjoining the Main building on the north, and although those who were
there did the best they could, the fire had gotten under such headway
that in a few minutes it had reached the Main building which was soon a
mass of flames. The wind was blowing a gale from the north-west and for
a time the dwelling of R. G. Rowlader and B. S. Holly seemed to be in
danger but the snow on the roofs perhaps averted the danger. The
dwelling house of L. L. Faul standing about 50 feet to the west of the
burning building was also in danger and had the wind been in the east -
would have taken the dwelling houses of L. L. Faul, C. S. McIntyre and
Mrs. R. R. Atchison and from there to the barn of L. Faul when the
business places on the east side of main street would surely have been
destroyed. Thus while it is a hard blow to Mr. Fuller the wind saved the
property of many others. Mr. Fuller who is of the age of 89 years and
his wife a few years younger were asleep in the house at the time and
were awakened and taken to the neighbors.
Nearly everything of value was taken out, yet some of it was badly
damaged by handling. We understand that the house and contents were
insured in a Stock Company which F. F. Hilbert is agent. This is the 2nd
fire within 3 weeks and the 3rd dwelling house burned since the village
was organized. In addition to these we have had one saw mill and two
elevators destroyed by fire during this time. At this writing we do not
know whether Mr. Fuller will rebuild or not.

Uncle Mose Fuller, while helping his wife with the washing Monday
forenoon in some way got one of his fingers in the gearing of the
ringer. Uncle Mose, who is nearly 90 years old says he doesn't mind a
little hurt like this much, if it wasn't that corn husking is so near
and that his finger may bother him from earning full wages.

MOSES P. FULLER
Was Woodland's Oldest Resident--A Pioneer of Carlton, A Modest, Honest
and Highly Respected Citizen
"Uncle Mose" Fuller, who has been failing since about January 1st,
passed away Sunday morning at nine o'clock. For several days it was
evident that the end was not far away as his condition from day to day
showed so plainly that his case was but a natural giving away of his
once hardy constitution and great vitality.
The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon, and a beautiful service
it was indeed. The weather was so perfect, the drive out to the Holmes
Church by auto so well planned, the well chosen fitting remarks by Revs.
Kenyon, Manning and Atchison, the passing of the old home, on the way to
the cemetery, where Mr. and Mrs. Fuller had lived and labored so many
years, and the appearance of the cemetery itself, altogether made an
impression on many that they will never forget.
The following obituary, prepared by a close friend of the family, was
read from the pulpit.
Moses P. Fuller was born in Berlin, Rensalaer County, New York on Jan.
26, 1823, and died at his home in the village of Woodland, Michigan on
July 18, 1915, aged 92 years, 5 months and 22 days.
He was married to Lucinda Barnum Jan. 1, 1849. To this union one son,
Luman B. Fuller, was born, who at present lives in Yates, Orleans
County, N.Y.
On Oct. 10, 1849 his companion was taken from him in death leaving an
infant child. On Nov. 28, 1854 he was united in marriage to Susan C.
Sherman, with whom he celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary last
Thanksgiving day.
Soon after this union Mr. and Mrs. Fuller moved from York State and
lived in Lenawee county, this State about a year. Mr. Fuller working at
his trade, that of carpenter. They then moved to Carlton, Barry County,
where he continued working at his trade till the autumn of 1856 when he
bought the 80 acre farm on which the Fuller cemetery is located. They
lived on this farm about seven years, when they bought the 80 acres
across the road on which they moved and lived until a little over five
years ago, when they sold the old homestead and located in the village
of Woodland where he has since resided.
Mr. and Mrs. Fuller having no children of their own took into their home
Kitty Grames, when a small child and was cared for and reared by them to
womanhood as a child of their own would be, and is still loved and
cherished as a daughter. She with her husband, Smith Holmes, were able
to care for her foster father during his long spell of sickness and did
all that willing hands could do to alleviate his suffering.
Mr. Fuller was always ready with both money and labor in church work,
being one of those who made it possible for the Holmes church
neighborhood to have a place of worship. He was one of the pioneers of
Southeast Carlton, and is remembered as a wise counsellor, honest and
upright in his dealings with fellowman, an honored and respected
citizen.
He leaves to mourn a loving and devoted wife who has stood by him in the
trials of life, and helped to make a home and plenty for the needs of
old age, one brother, Russell Fuller, of Medina, N.Y. besides his foster
daughter, Miss Kitty Holmes, husband and family, and a very large circle
of friends and distant relatives.

On 2 Feb 1857 when Celia was 22, she married Reuben Elmer FULLER, son of
Reuben E FULLER Sr. (7 May 1800-15 May 1891) & Fanny MOREHOUSE (1804-24
Sep 1856), in NY. Born on 3 Aug 1832 in Carlton, Orleans Co., NY. Reuben
Elmer died in Ridgeway, Orleans Co., NY on 6 Oct 1918; he was 86. Buried
in Carlton Cem., Carlton Twp., Orleans Co., NY. Occupation: Farmer.
Per Doug Murphy, "Landmarks..." pg 143 lists his first marriage as 5
Sept. 1854, not 1 Sept.
In 1919 he was living in Medina, NY
He has a gravestone, but may not have been buried in Fuller cemetery,
because there is no year of death given.
"Landmarks of Orleans County, New York", pg 182 tells that "Fuller, Alva
A., is a lineal descendant of Reuben, who was born in Wilmington, Pa.,
May 7, 1800, and came to the town of Carlton, then a part of Genesee
county, in 1812, and purchased a tract of land containing 300 acres,
where his son, Reuben E., father of Alvah, now resides. Reuben E. was
born on this farm August 3, 1832, and his wife was Celia Fuller, born
November 4, 1834, in Carlton. The children of Reuben E. and Celia
Fuller were as follows--Lester S., born February 19, 1853, died December
29, 1862; Hattie D., born September 21, 1860, married December 24, 1879,
to Zachary Thompson, and they have these children (Mabel F., born June
30, 1881; Bertha C., born January 12, 1883; Lester D., born March 12,
1885); Alvah A., born December 4, 1863, married January 28, 1891; Sadie
E. Rice, born April 12, 1868; Vernon E., born October 14, 1867, married
February 14, 1889, Susan Eckler, and resides in Carlton; Gertie A., born
August 24, 1870, married March 23, 1893, James Smith; G. Ray, born
February 13 1872; Myron, born September 28, 1876, died March 7, 1877.
Alvah A. Fuller was educated in the common schools of Carlton and
attended a select school taught by Miss P.A. Foster at Albion. He
commenced to work by the month on a farm and after three years went west
as far as Washington State, where he remained two years and was foreman
on a ranch of 800 acres. In 1889 he returned to Carlton and worked on
his father's farm two years, and in 1891 moved to the village of Gaines,
where he has carried on a mercantile business up to the present time.
Mr. Fuller is now town clerk of Gaines, having been elected in the
spring of 1891 on the Republican ticket.

PHILO FULLER, who is engaged in farming on section 20, Carlton Township,
Barry County, is a native of New York. He was born in Carlton Township,
Orleans County, January 28, 1841, and is a son of Harmon Fuller, a
native of Connecticut who served in the War of 1812. He spent his
entire life in the East but after his death his remains were brought to
Michigan and here interred. In the family were twelve children, our
subject being the ninth in order of birth, and Edwin and Joseph were
numbered among the boys in blue of the late war. Philo remained at home
until 1861 when, prompted by patriotic impulses, he responded to the
country's call for troops and became a member of Company F, Third New
York Cavalry, which was ordered to Maryland where the troops remained
during the winter. In the spring they were sent to Virginia under Gen.
Banks, crossing at Harper's Ferry,w here they were held in reserve while
Banks raided Winchester. Next they were ordered back to Washington,
D.C., where they spent two weeks, following which they went to Newbern,
NC. The year the Third Regiment spent in that place the troops were
engaged in picket duty and skirmishing, after which they were ordered to
Fortress Monroe, VA, and went in to winter quarters. The following
spring they returned to Newbern, where Company F remained until
receiving its discharge in 1864, on the expiration of its term of
enlistment. Mr. Fuller took part in several skirmishes and in Hyde
County, NC, in 1863, was hit in the wrist by a ball which bent the
handle of his revolver out of shape and then killed the horse on which
he was riding. Two shots also penetrated his right arm but the wounds
were not serious and on the 31st of May he was honorably discharged and
returned to his home.
The year 1865 witnessed the arrival of our subject in Barry County,
Mich. He immediately purchased land--his present farm--and after
building a log cabin began clearing it. Not a furrow had been turned or
an improvement made and the present fine condition in which it is today,
is all the result of the owner's labors. After clearing the land it was
his next duty to provide a more comfortable home for himself and family
than their pioneer cabin, and he erected the pleasant and commodious
two-story frame residence at a cost of $2,000. It is tastefully
furnished from basement to attic with rich yet neat furniture of the
latest design and is supplied with all the little accessories which make
life worth the living and indicate the presence of cultured people. A
large basement barn was also built, 32 x 46 feet with eighteen feet
posts, which is sufficiently large to accommodate all his stock with
shelter during the inclement winter weather. A young orchard is just
beginning to bear fruit and with the exception of five acres of timber
land the entire farm is under a high state of cultivation.
Mr. Fuller was united in marriage with Miss Elsie Morgan, daughter of
William Morgan, on the 7th of April, 1866, by the Rev. Mr. Tapley, a
Methodist minister. Unto them have been born three children--Wilbur H.,
who married Stella Sherman and resides on the old home farm; Myrtie B.
and Roy C., are at home with their parents. This family has been
identified with the history of Barry County for more than a quarter of a
century and our subject is one of its valued citizens.

OBITUARY
Philo Fuller was born in Carlton, Orleans County, New York, January 28,
1841. He was one of a family of 13 children, only one of whom, a
sister, is still living. On August 19, 1861 he enlisted in the Third
New York Cavalry and served in the Civil War until he was wounded in the
right arm and wrist in a skirmish in Hyde County, North Carolina, March
4, 1863. Because of his incapacity for service he received honorable
discharge at Newark, New Jersey, May 31, 1864. Soon after his discharge
he came to Michigan and worked on the farm of his brother in law, Truman
Barnum. On April 7, 1866 he was united in marriage with Elsie Morgan
and they moved to the farm where he lived until his death. There four
children were born: Wilbur H., Myrtie B., Roy Chester and Ralph, who
died in infancy. August 19, 1903 his wife died after an illness of
three years. He was married September 30, 1905 to Mrs. Mary E. Wilson
who survives him.
After an illness of several months he died at his home in Carlton
Sunday, May 31 at the age of 84 years and 4 months. Besides his wife
and three children, he is also survived by a stepdaughter, Mrs. Merrill
H. Coats of Holly Hill, Fla., and by six grandchildren and three great
grandchildren. Mr. Fuller had been a faithful member of the Carlton
Methodist Episcopal church for over 30 years and will be missed in the
church and the community by a host of friends and neighbors. The
funeral was held at the home on Tuesday, June 2, with burial in the
Fuller cemetery, Rev. M.A. Davison of Freeport officiating.

OBITUARY
Fuller--Elsie M. Morgan was born in Ruggles, Ashland Co., OH, March
14th, 1847, and departed this life, August 19th, 1903, at her home in
Carlton.
She was united to Mr. Philo Fuller April 7th, 1866, and was the mother
of four children, three of whom are living, Wilbur of East Jordan and
Roy and Myrtle of Hastings, who with the father mourn the early
departure of a kind and loving mother. She has resided in Carlton all
her married life upon the farm that joins the Messer farm on the south.
Her home was one of beauty and hospitality, and the hosts of friends who
mourn her death attest how generous a hostess and true a wife she has
been.
She was converted about eight or ten years ago under the preaching of
the Rev. William Wright and joined the M.E. church at Carlton Center,
where she has been a faithful member, always doing what she could to
help the master's work. During the last two years she has been a great
sufferer, but her patience and fortitude was perfectly marvelous.
The funeral services were held by her pastor, Rev. J.H. Bennett, at the
home. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, attesting the high
esteem in which the deceased was held by her neighbors and friends.
The floral offerings by Roy Fuller's fellow workmen of the factory
called forth many kind remarks. All seemed to try in some way to show
their sympathy and interest and a large company followed the remains to
the Fuller cemetery where her body now awaits a glorious resurrection.

[OBIT. FROM BULL SCRAPBOOK, HASTINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY, HASTINGS, MI]
PERRY A. STOWELL
WAS A WELL-KOWN AND HIGHLY RESPECTED RESIDENT OF THE TOWNSHIP.
FOURTH SON OF A STRONG FAMILY
Perry Alanson Stowell, fourth son of Ira and Evaline Stowell, was born
in the township of Woodland on Dec. 15, 1856, and died at his home in
Woodland May 1, 1920, aged 63 years, 4 months and 16 days.
He received his schooling in the district and select schools held in
Woodland and was licensed to teach in 1876 but never taught. Thus he
grew to manhood and received his schooling in what we term as the
pioneer days of the township. He has always lived in Woodland except
eleven years that he resided in Carlton township. He was active
socially in his younger days being a member of the Good Templars when
they were first organized and also in 1887 when they were reorganized.
Mr. Stowell was united in marriage to Dora Haight Jan. 20, 1884. To
this union one daughter was born, Mrs. Gaylia Brummeler of Grand Rapids.
On Dec. 25, 1858 he was married to Jessie Barnum of Carlton township,
Barry Co. To this union were born two children, Arvilla and Ford.
Jesie died July 31, 1896. During the next four years Grandma Barnum
assisted him greatly in caring for his young children.
On April 17, 1900 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Clarinda Fuller, who
has ever been a worthy companion. She with her son Ford have cared for
him during his recent illness as only a devoted wife and dutiful son can
minister to the earthly wants of husband and father.
During his life he has experienced much sickness and earthly sorrow.
When 21 years of age he was very ill of pneumonia. In 1896 typhoid
fever nearly claimed him as a victim. At this time Jessie died. Owing
to his power of endurance and indomitable will, he seemed to survive
this shock, but when Arvilla died in 1905, his cup of sorrow was full.
Perry Stowell had ideas and ideals peculiar to himself. His beautiful
home and homelife were outward expressions of some of his ideals. How
he admired a good horse! How he enjoyed, during the last few years,
caring for and driving his span of blacks.
These might be called selfish ideals but if so he had unselfish ideals.
His devotion to his wife, to Gaylia and Ford and his two grandsons, and
brothers amounted to worship. For some years past he has been
financially able to assist others in different ways. His brothers and
neighbors can testify to this. One brother knows that he was not only
honest but fair in the highest sense of the word in all his dealings
with mankind.
In religious matters he believed in the principles upheld by the
Methodist Episcopal church. He has been a member of the local church
since 1911. No passing cloud of unbelief affected him. He was ever
strong and steadfast. During the past winter he has said many times
that everything was all right; that he would not fight death an instant.
On the afternoon of May 1, when all nature was unfolding her beauty his
heart and strength failed him. God had become the strength of his heart
and his portion forever.
He is survived by his wife, two children, Gaylia and Ford, three
brothers, S.A. of Sault Ste. Marie, H.J. of Reed City and D.N. of
Woodland.
