I recollect Captain Zadock Grover, I learn, came from Cayuga county. He came up Hemlock lake on the ice on the 20th day of March, 1816, and settled on what was then known as the John Roberts farm, in a log house where the Humphrey and Marvin store now stands. A brief description of his family may be in order. I learn that Zadock Grover had three wives and reared quite a large family of children. By his first wife he had one daughter, Wealtha, and six sons, Silas, Hosea, Lemuel, Lyman, Zadock B. and Thomas O., after which his wife died, and in the course of time he married a widow Tyler, who had four children, three daughters and a son. Polly married Dr. David Henry, Roxey married Solomon G. Grover, who many of you will remember. Sally married Benjamin Irish. The son was the late Harvey Tyler of Springwater, who is well remembered by all the old residents. By this marriage they had one daughter, Olive, after which his second wife died, and about 1809 he married Thursy Allen, by whom be had four children, two sons and two daughters, viz.: David H. Grover late of Springwater, John J. Grover who is still among us, Ann, or Mrs. John F. Brown, living here, and Mrs. Charles Pixley, living in Rochester. all of whom are remembered by the present inhabitants and nothing special need be mentioned of them.
