  • Notes 
    • Mr. Durfee, with his brother Edward, came from Tiverton, R. I., to Farmington, N. Y., in the summer of 1790. He returned with a favorable report of the country, and came back the following winter with Isaac Springer. He purchased 200 acres of land of his brother-in-law, Humphrey Sherman, in 1792. He was appointed, in 1804, an Ensign in Lieutenant-Colonel Swift's regiment of New York Militia.
