Mail to R.W. Hayes in Morrisonville and from Morrisonville to Hattie Witherwax at Valcour
On April 4, 1848, the Town of Schuyler Falls was removed from the Town of Plattsburgh. Ezra Turner (1763-1851), who served as Captain and Major in the 36th Regiment of the New York Militia in the War of 1812, was the first settler to locate in the area in 1802. He married 16-year old Amy Beman whose father, Nathan, had piloted Ethan Allen to Fort Ticonderoga the morning he demanded the British general to surrender. The Town of Schuyler Falls was named after Peter Schuyler who bought the mill on the Salmon River from Zephaniah Platt.
