About Samuel Felt, III
Per Somers, CT V.R. (Barbour): Felt, Samuel, s. of Samuel Jr. m. Mehetable Buel, Nov. 22, 1762
Rev. War Vet. Samuel Felt, a native of Somers, CT, was one of the first settlers of Madison County. He came here with one of his sons in 1793, and secured a tract of five hundred acres in the heart of the wilderness, on the banks of the Chenango River, in the present town of Lebanon, Madison County. They cleared a part of the land, and raised a crop of potatoes and Indian corn. In the autumn they killed one pair of their oxen, salted the meat, and concealed it under the floor of the cabin. Returning East to spend the winter, they came back in the following spring with the rest of the family. Madison County being without roads at that early period, in going from one place to another they followed a trail of blazed trees. There were no mills here for some years; and the only way to grind corn was by making a fire with coals on the top of a stump, and digging out the charred wood and ashes from the centre until a deep hollow was formed. Into this the corn was put, and pounded with a great stone fastened to a long stick hanging from a spring pole. The finest part of the pounded corn was used to make bread, the coarsest for samp. Samuel Felt (1735-1803) served as Ensign and was commissioned Lieutenant in Captain Solomon Wells' Company, Colonel Joseph Spencer's 2nd CT Regiment. In 1779 he commanded a company in the same regiment under General John Stark. He was born in Somers, CT; died in Lebanon, NY.
