24. | Carroll Sutherland ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Carroll[4] (Andrew[3] Peter[2] John william[1]) was the first of the children of Andrew and Naomi to be born in New York state. He was born 1 March 1814, a ruddy healthy boy until about the age of 14 or 15 when according to his brother Andrew Jr he caught a severe cold while helping his father and Benjamin get out some timber at New Fane [Newfane]. From that time on he suffered from asthma. In spite of this he was a fine singer. He went to Canada and taught school for awhile when still quite young, and then when a vacancy occured on the religious circuit, he took the place and continued for several years. He preached at Lockport for almost a year, at the close of which he married Elizabeth Johnson of Canada, and joined the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was stationed at Black Rock and Tonowanda, then at Knowlesville where he preached nearly all of one day. He was a very popular preacher and was remembered very affectionately by his associates and beloved by all who knew him. He was taken sick and died of bronchial pneumonia at the age of 29, Jan 1843. His widow later married William Wirt near Knowlesville and later settled in Albion. Carroll and Elizabeth had two children; one, a daughter, Mrs. Alice Sutherland Bangs, lived in California. Family/Spouse: Living. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
25. | Fletcher Sutherland ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Naomi Cooley's father, Col. Benjamin Cooley, died in Pittsford, Vermont 27 Feb 1810. Fletcher and Naomi returned to Pittsford early in 1816 to settle her father's estate and it was while they were there that Fletcher was born. Thus, the apparent anomaly of having Fletcher's younger brother, Carroll, and the rest of his elder siblings born in Cambria, New York while he was born in Vermont. Fletcher married Mary Brink about 1844 in Lyons, Wayne Co, New York. Mary was born about 1825 in Lyons, Wayne Co, New York; died on 24 Sep 1867 in Lockport Township, Niagara Co, New York.

26. | Andrew Sutherland ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
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. Andrew married Mary McLean on 7 Aug 1848 in Dundee, Yates Co, New York. Mary (daughter of Living and Living) was born on 16 Mar 1828 in Starkey, Yates Co, New York; died about Nov 1899 in Rochester, Monroe Co, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
