History :
1787.] ANNALS OF BUFFALO VALLEY. by John Blair Linn Pg 245-247
John Farley, a New Jerseyman, came here in 1787, from the
State of New Jersey, with a wife and seven children, named Jacob,
Barbara, Minard, John, David, Naomi, and Fanny. He immedi-
ately Iniilt himself a log cabin, and occupied it, on White Deer Hole
creek, about two hundred feet from where the dwelling house of the
late Charles Gudykunst now stands, and being an active and enter-
prising man, he soon afterward built himself a log grist-mill here,
the first one in the Valley, as already stated.

I have obtained all of the above facts relative to these fourteen
families, (excepting what relates to their times of death and places
of burial,) from Mr. John Farley, a son of the above John Farley,
and who is still living in our Valley, a venerable white-haired old
gentleman, in the eighty-eighth year of his age, whose house I visited
for that purpose on Tuesday, the 17th of July, 1870.

He says: "I was born in Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon
county. State of New Jersey, on the 9th of July, 1783, and came
here into this Valley with my father, John Farley, in 1787, when I
was four years old. And I have resided here ever since, for the
long space of eighty-three years, and knew and remember the names
of all the white settlers that lived in this Valley in the spring of i 7S7,
when I came here, and where their log huts or cabins stood, and
how their cabins were made. My father built one of the same kind
of cabins here in 1 787, and four or five years afterward he also built
a small log grist-mill here, with but one pair of grinding stones in
it; the first grist-mill erected in this Valley. In the year 1800, my
father, after living here for thirteen years, moved back to the State of
New Jersey. But he died here in this Valley in June 1822, while he
was up here on a visit to me and my family. He was upwards of
seventy years of age when he died, and my brothers and sisters are all
dead, and I am now the only one left of all my father's family.
Very great changes have taken place in the appearance of this Val-
ley, its farms, houses, barns, &c., since I came here; changes far
greater than any I ever expected to see here, and all for the better."
