"The first election of Justices of the Peace was recorded in 1844,
when Charles Bell, M.S.
Barnett and C. L. Rockwood were elected........In 1843, there were
100 resident
taxpayers in the town with property assessed at $1,461.50, as
follows: Isaac B. Judson, F.

these, D.G. Deissner,
owner of the saw-mill, was the heaviest taxpayer, being assessed
$32.66, and Asa Clark,
owner of the saw-mill at Pewaukee with a tax of $21.49, was the next
heaviest......
At about the same time, John M. Woodworth settled in the
south part of the town. Mr. Woodworth was a small man, and
Cephas L. Rockwood, a Prairieville lawyer, was a very
large one. The latter settled on one of the former's claims,
and was ordered off, without success. Mr. Woodworth went out
one day, and finding Mr. Rockwood preparing to build a log
house, again ordered him to leave. He was still
unsuccessful, and then began a series of strange and
astonishing maneuvers, jumping and squatting on all sides of
Mr. Rockwood, standing on his head, making frightful
grimaces and falling prone on his face with astonishing
rapidity, the while keeping up an uninterrupted flow of
gibberish which no one could understand. Mr. Rockwood
thought Mr. Woodworth, who was always known as, "Crazy
Woodworth" on account of his strange actions, was possessed
of a devil, and dropping his ax, took to the deeper woods,
leaving the clai, to the quasi juggler. Afterward Mr.
Rockwood had many a laugh over the novel manner in which he
was frightened out of a claim.

From South Edwards History:
http://history.rays-place.com/ny/edwards-ny.htm
"The first merchant at South Edwards was Elijah
Shaw, who settled there in 1825 with his brother Noah. The
former became one of the most prominent citizens, and the hamlet
was locally known for years as "Shawville." Mr. Shaw engaged
with a Mr.
Sears in the manufacture of potash and had other various
interests. Mr.
Sears purchased his partner’s interest in the potash
business, and Mr. Shaw retired to a farm north of the village.
Sears afterwards removed to Canton. The merchants of the
place now are Ira Hammond and John Lumlev, and the latter is
postmaster, the office having been established in September,
1828, with James C. Haile as postmaster."
