Daniel Bartholomew

Daniel, born in Harpersfield, N.Y., in 1771; married twice, both daughters of James Wright; and died in Geneva OH ... in 1814.

Mr. Bartholomew in Feb., 1800, moved with his family and several neighbors by sleds drawn over the snow, from Charlotte Valley to Ohio; after reaching the future site of Buffalo they made the ice on Lake Erie their highway, and on the 4th of Mar., 1800, made a landing near the land purchased by his father in the present townships of Geneva and Harpersfield, where he settled and erected his loghouse.
