• Notes

  Andrew Sutherland Jr (Andrew3 Peter2 John William1) was born 22 July 1818 in Cambria, Niagara County, New York and died 27 Feb 1891 in Rochester, Monroe County, New York. On 7 Aug 1848 he was married to Mary A. McLean in Dundee, Yates County, New York. She was born 16 Mar 1828, the daughter of William and Elizabeth (DeGroot) McLean of Starkey, NY. Mary died in November 1899 in Rochester. They had 7 children. In the 1850 US Census for Yates County NY is William McLean, born New York state, and his wife, Elizabeth, born in New Jersey. William is a farmer worth $17,650. Living with them are: Cornelius F. Mclean age 20; Cyrus F. McLean age 15: Margaret Dye age 31; William McLean Dye age 13; Elizabeth McLean Dye age 10; Nargaret K. Dye age 5; Nary M. Dye age 3; and Eliza F. Dye age 1. Altho it has not been proved, we feel this Margaret Dye is a widow with her children, living with her parents and brothers. Andrew Jr is the one to whom we are indebted for writing a Journal telling of his early life and pioneer times in western New York. He described himself looking as much like his father as any of his siblings, only taller than the 5'8" of his father. He wrote the journal presumably toward the end of his life, possibly after his retirement in 1886. The copy of the journal we have ends in the middle of a sentence indicating that he was either too ill to go on, or that over the years further pages may have been lost. The following is copied from the memorial book of the Genesee Conference in 1891: The Rev. Andrew Sutherland was born in Cambria, Niagara County New York 22 July 1818. He died in Rochester, Monroe County, New York on 27 Feb 1891. He was converted under the ministry of the Rev. Wm. D. Buck, at the age of 19, and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. As a probationer into the Genesee Conference he was received as a Lyons New York in 1846 and into full membership in 1848 at Rochester. The Conference was divided at the session of 1848 and Brother Sutherland became a member of the East Genesee division. He continued to labor...within the territory of the old Genesee Conference...His effective relation was [continuous] until 1886 when, on account of growing infirmities, and especially of gradual failure of sight, made it impossible for him to the study or read. He accepted a superannuated [too old] relation but his residence during the period of his superannuation was still in Rochester where he enjoyed the companionship not only of old friends, but especially of most of the members his own beloved family. He leaves three sons, Willian Andrew and Arthur Eugene, honored and successful members of the legal profession in Rochester, and the Rev. Ward Taylor, pastor of a Congregational church in Meadville, Pa. Two daughters also mourn his loss, Miss Leela M., a teacher in the Deaf-Mute Institution of Rochester, and Miss Anna G. who has always resided with her parents. Physically, Mr. Sutherland was of delicate, apparently frail, oganization; and when he joined the Conference his early demise was expected by his friends, but by a life of severely temperate and correct habits, supported by open-air exercise, such as was demanded of the earlier itinerant, he developed expected powers of endurance, doing much faithful and not little heroic service. He yielded up his life at last in good old age, more on account of exhausted vital resources than of acute disease. His end was cheered by the constant and loving ministries of his own family, for which he expressed great gratitude to God. His end was peace, like the quiet, unclouded setting of the summer Sun. His life work had been so completely done that nothing was left to do in the dying hour. [4]
