Theresa.
The Falls on Indian River in this town, were early marked as an eligible point for a village, and
about 1810, Mr. Le Ray caused several "jobs" to be cleared in town, one of one hundred acres on
the James Shurtliff farm, a mile and a quarter south of the falls, another forty acres, nearer
the falls, at the forks of the roads near Mr. J. Fayel's residence, and one or two others in this
town, and Alexandria. He also caused a saw mill to be erected at the Falls, at which many
thousand feet of lumber were made, and sent down to Rossie and Ogdensburgh.
The war which soon ensued checked these improvements, and left a large quantity of lumber
on the premises, much of which rotted on the ground. The clearings having been seeded with grass,
were occupied in the summer of 1813, as pasturage for a herd of sixty cattle, twenty horses, and
about four hundred and fifty sheep, of which Capt. John Hoover, and a hired man (John A. Evans)
were employed as keepers. The hazard attending the trust may be inferred from the fact that the
clearing was surrounded by a dense forest, which extended to the St. Lawrence, and to a great
distance to the east, west, and south, the nearest neighbor being at Evans' Mills, 9 miles, and
Friends Settlement, 7 miles distant, to the former of which, a blind path led through the woods.
Should the enemy make an incursion in force, the only chance of safety was in a strongly built
log house, which had been erected for the storage of wheat, and which they had fitted for hasty
barricades, should these be necessary; nor was this frontier station without incident. On the
occasion of the affair of Goose Creek, in July, 1813, which we have more fully detailed in its
place, Capt. Hoover rallied his company in Le Ray, and took part in the action, which for the
number engaged, conferred as much honor upon the American Name as any that occurred in the war.
The prisoners were marched past the little camp on their way to Sackets Harbor, and Capt. H.
resumed his lonely vigil with no society but his wife, and hired man, a few trusty guns, and
plenty of ammunition. A few days later, near sunset, being out a short distance in the border of
the woods that seperated the two clearings, in which were the stock he was watching, he noticed
five of the enemy cautiously approaching, who, without noticing him, crept into a barn on the
premises, to spend the night. Not doubting but that they had come to spy out the weakness of the
place, he returned, and securely fastened himself in his house, and at dawn crept out with his
gun to watch their movements, and perhaps attempt some achievement if circumstances favored.
Having taken a station a few rods from the clearing near the present corners of the roads, at the
house of Mr. Fayel, he soon perceived the five soldiers approaching, and challenged them after
the manner of a sentinel, demanding who the were, to which they replied "friends." He then
ordered them to advance, and lay down thier arms, upon which two approached, and the others fled.
These two he assured "should not be molested by his regiment," if they continued orderly and
quiet, and having disarmed them, and mounted them upon horses, himself fully armed, riding behind
a spirited horse, he conducted them to the camp at Sackets Harbor.

Mr. Le Ray in 1810 opened a road from Evans Mills, following the Indian trail on the bank of the river to the High falls. He also made a clearing of 40 acres about one mile from the falls on the Douglass farm. He also built a log house and a frame barn on the job. The boards used in the construction of these buildings were sawed by man power. The barn was framed on the principle of cut and try which was the extent of mechanical ingenuity in early days. Captain John Hoover was placed in charge of these improvements.

Historic House Near Theresa;
Built by John La Farge in 1825
[Photo caption]
On this spot Capt. John Hoover made a noted capture during the War of 1812.
Theresa, Feb. 12 - Just out of the village of Theresa, on the Theresa-Watertown State Road, stands one of the historic landmarks of this section - a house erected by John La Farge. The building, still ______? has sttod through the storms of nearly a century, having been erected in 1825 when Theresa was first being rapidly setlled. For two years Mr. La Farge resided in this home when trouble over land claims arose with indications that the Antwerp Land Company were the rightful owners of the land. La Farge took himself away to a section near the banks of Perch Lake, where he erected another and more costly building. But trouble again arose and again La Farge moved, this time locating and causing to be erected a mansion near the present village of La Fargeville, a place named after the celebrated Frenchman.
La Farge came into the North Country through a strange combination of conditions. He was a crafty and polished French ______ man of the firm of Russell & La Farge. Their trade with the West Indies was extensive.
Back in those days Peter Penet was a sailing master of unusual ability and had become a wealthy ship owner. It was his boats in which the trade to the new ports was carried on and he introduced La Farge to conditions in the new world. Penet, learning that there were large tracts of land in Northern New York being sold by the Government at small prices, came into this section in time to attend a peace conference held at Fort Stanwix by Governor Clinton and chiefs of the Six Nations. It was at this conference that Penet obtained a tract of land, the grant reading as follows:
"And further, that the People of the State of New York shal, as a benevolence from the oneidas to Peter Penet and in return to the services _____? grant to the same Peter Penet of the said _____ land lying to the northward of Oneida Lake, a tract of ten miles square wherein he shall elect the same."
As a matter of fact that tract of land was surveyed pretty far north of Oneida Lake, being located in the present Jefferson County and in what is now the town of Orleans. It was in October, 1784? that the grant was made. The grant was patented by Penet in July 1793?. With these papers from the State of New York in his pocket he returned to France with no agent to look after his lands.
Some time after, Penet made a voyage from Havre to the West Indies with valuable merchandise and never returned. It was thought that pirates _______ his ship, took the cargo and dropped Penet overboard. Maybe not. No one knows.
But shortly after the failure of Penet to return to LaFarge, making a business trip to New Orleans from France, came north and sought to make ____ of the claim that this land belonged to him. It was the first of many disputes over claims that came afterwards.
The old house still standsand is a Landmark of this section. It was here in this same spot, at that time only a clearing, that Capt. John Hoover caught, in 1813, five Redcoats, single handed, by strategy.

The store of the place was then kept by William Palmer, in the building which had been the tavern of Jenison Clark, on the spot where Capt. Hoover, six years later, built the brick hotel. Another establishment, which perhaps might be called a store, though whisky was the principal article dealt in, was kept by Heman Millard and Hiram Becker where the furniture store now is, at the northwest corner of Noble and Main streets.

The subject of county maintenance of the poor was first seriously discissed by the supervisors in 1822, but not until three years later was definite action taken, when members Hubbard, Hart and Stewart were constituted a committee to ascertain the probable cost of a farm property, situated within five miles from the court house, and well suited to its intended use. Several sites were offered the committee, and were reported to the board, which body selected the Dudley farm of 150 acres in Le Ray, five miles from the county seat. It cost $1,500. The buildings were repaired and arranged for their new tenants, and here the county poor were maintained until 1832, when the supervisors determined to sell the property and secure another location. On January 25, 1833, the legislature passed an act authorizing the supervisors to borrow $4,000, and at the next session of the board it was resolved to purchase the J. Foster farm (situate one mile below Watertown, on the north side of the river) at a cost of $1,500. The committee appointed to carry out the resolution of the board comprised Orville Hungerford, Joseph Graves and Bernard Bayless. Thus the present county poor farm and property were secured, although since that time the building has been remodeled, enlarged and repaired as occasion has required.
In 1852 (April 12) the legislature passed an act relating to this county which authorized the election of only one overseer of the poor in each town, which officer, associated with the supervisor, performed all the duties of overseer therein, subject, however, to the restrictions and limitations prescribed by the board of supervisors. At this time the office of county superintendent of the poor was abolished, so far as the election of that officer was concerned, and the board was authorized to appoint a person to fill the position during its pleasure. The appointee was to reside on the farm and perform the duties of keeper, in addition to those incumbent on him as superintendent.
This system, while perhaps a novel one, has its benefits in reduction of county expenses, and at the same time the proper committee of the board, and indeed the board itself, is able to know what expenditures are made, and how made, and are in no manner at the mercy of a general county superintendent, as might be the case under the provisions of the law as it now exists.
Under the original system, after the purchase of the Le Ray farm, superintendents were appointed, and were Orville Hungerford, William S. Ely, Peter Xandes, John Hoover and Asher Wilmot for the first year, and a like number annually until 1848, when the office became elective. The first elected incumbents of the office were David Montague, Charles
F. Symonds and Phineas Hardy, 1848; Martin J. Hutchins, 1840; Peter S. Houck, 1850; and Austin Everitt, 1851. Under the new and present system the first appointee was Alpheus Parker, whose term began January 1, 1853, and who was succeeded in 1858 by Nathaniel Havens, jr. Colonel Heman Strong followed in 1860, and served until his death in April, 1876. The later superintendents have been A. W. Wheelock, 1876
