| Notes |
- Adam Castner died at the age of 85 years and 9 months. He has his own plot with other family members.
Adam , the first child, was born on the 8th of July 1772, and was educated in the common schools of that day. He learned the carpenter's trade and followed it for many years. He also worked some at coopering, and was quite infenious in mechanical arts. He came to Yates county with his father's family in 1805 from Pennslyvania and in 1806 he helped build a house for Robert Rose east of the village of Geneva and likewise worked a part of this time on the farm he had helped purchase in the town of Torrey. He and his brother, John formed a partnership and worked together until 1849 and accumulated quite a large estate. In 1849 they dissolved the partnership and divided their property.
Adam died 17 April 1858 and was buried at City Hill graaveyard, aged 85 years, 10 mos. 9 days. He was a very healthy, robust man until a short time before his death. His widow was still living and retained her memory remarkable well.
Below is probably an uncle:
SAMUEL CASTNER, of Penn Yan, N. Y., fourth son of Samuel Castner
by his wife Mary Linderman, was born in Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, 30 April, 1772 ; died at Milo, Yates County, New York.
He married in 1795, Mary Magdalene, oldest daughter of David
Wagener, one of the pioneer settlers of Milo, Yates County, New
York. She was born in Montgomery County, Pa... February 14, 1776.
She had previously been to the New Jerusalem, X. Y., with her father,
making the journey through the wilderness on horseback. While her
father was clearing land on which Penn Yan is located, with a
large number of hands, she was matron for the whole company. She
returned to Pennsylvania with her father for a short stay, and remained
to marry. Immediately after their marriage the)' removed from Montgomery
County, to Milo above. The newly wedded couple moved
the same year into a rude log house in what was called Smith's Hollow,
not far from the present location of the oil mill. In 1805 they moved
into a small new frame house on the road leading from the Hollow to
NichoPs Corners, on the Garter, where J. Lockwood now resides.
