GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION. 



This town is situated upon Lake Keuka, on the east 

 border of the county. It is bounded north by Lake Keuka, 

 east by the county line, south by Bradford, and west by 

 Urbana and a portion of Lake Keuka. The town is about 

 nine miles long by four wide, and the north end terminates 

 in a point upon the lake. 



PHYSICAL FEATURES. 



The surface of this town is a rolling upland, from four 

 to five hundred feet high, forming a plateau of rich and 

 well-cultivated farms, and descending abruptly to the lake 

 on the west and north. The northern end of the town along 

 the lake-shore, being opposite the high lands of Pulteney, 

 and sheltered by them from the northwest and west winds, 

 is peculiarly adapted to fruit, and contains some of the finest 

 vineyards in the grape-growing section of this county. 

 Peaches are also successfully raised in this locality. The 

 soil is a gravelly and slaty loam, resting upon a subsoil of 

 hard-pan. Lake Waneta (Little Lake), lying upon the east 

 border, is a beautiful sheet of clear water, three miles in 

 length by half a mile in width. 



EARLY SETTLEMENT. 



The first settlers in the present town of Wayne were 

 Zephaniah Hofi*, Henry Mapes, Widow Jennings, and Solo- 

 54 



mon Wixson, in 1791. Enos, Joseph, and James Silsbee, 

 Abraham Hendricks, Joshua Smith, John Holdridge, 

 Elijah Reynolds, and Ephraim Tyler were also among the 

 pioneers. The first birth was that of Elizabeth Wixson, 

 Nov. 6, 1793 ; the first marriage was that of Ephraim 

 Sanford, Jr., and Julia Hofi*. Nathaniel Frisbie taught the 

 first school in 1797. 



Ephraim Sanford, who had been a soldier in the Revo- 

 lution, came from Luzerne Co., Pa., and settled, in 1793, 

 within the present boundaries of the town of Wayne. 

 He bought of Jacob Hallett, of the city of New York, 

 1864 acres of land in and around said town for £466 in 

 1793. A portion of the land he afterwards sold for eighteen 

 pence an acre. He first settled on the farm where his 

 grandson, Russel Sanford, now lives. Wolves and bears at 

 that early day were a source of frequent annoyance. He 

 immediately gave his attention to clearing land, and as the 

 settlement grew in numbers he became also a pioneer worker 

 in the religious cause. He was an earnest member of the 

 Baptist ministry, doing his work always from the conscious- 

 ness of duty, and never accepting any pay for his services. 

 He was identified with the building of the Baptist church 

 on the Salter corners in 1794, which at that time belonged 

 to the Chemung Associatiop. 



In 1802 he prospected in Allegany County, and in 1804 

 he moved his family there, and settled in the town of
