B. Monnell. He married Eunice Beardslee, who was born in 1751, and whO died in 1850, at the age of 98 years, at the house of Captain Goble, of Sparta, her son-in-law. Her recollection was very disticnt of many occurances of her youth. At the time of her birth, her parents were living upon Hamburg Mountain. There were rumors of Indian troubles, and for security, her father built a log house against the rocks, where a cave behind made a second room in which she was born. This was near where the Gate House stood in later times.
   The North Church lands of Isaac Cary, Jr., passed into the hands of the Beardslee family, and he removed to upper Hamburg and lived upon another tract of land inherited from his father, now constituting the Rude farms in the vicinity, and adjoining the property of Henry W. Couplin. He lived in the log house which stood on the opposite side of the road from Jonathan Dymock's house. He had two sons, John and Mahlon, and six daughters. Maria married a Rude; Nancy, Captain Isaac Goble; Hannah, William Reeves, who built the Johanthan Dymock house, became a Methodist minister and removed to Newark; Polly married Henry Edsall, and after his death, kept the mountain Turnpike gate and was the mother of Benjamin H. Edsall; Phebe married William Osborne, a blacksmith, who changed the log house, after it came into his possession, into a blacksmith shop; Emiline married a Heminover. Isaac Cary, Jr., was a magistrate, and his headstone at the North Church reads, "Sacred to the memory of Isaac Cary, Esquire, who died January 18th, 1791, aged 48 years and 11 months.
