Excerpt from History of the Town of Elma: Erie County, N. Y.; 1620 to 1901
I have consulted, as helps in obtaining facts for this work, his tories and encyclopedias as to the early settlement of the country, the histories of the Civil War by J. T. Headley and Horace Greeley; and for other parts of the work, I have used the records in the Erie County Clerk's Office, the Records in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Erie County, N. Y., and of the Town Clerk's office of the town of Elma.
In addition to the' above, from my own personal knowledge, (hav ing kept a diary for many years) and from information obtained by correspondence and from persons who were on the ground and who knew whereof they spoke I have gathered and arranged the facts here presented.
