Botsford, Samuel, son of Elijah and Margaret (Scott) Botsford, was born in this town in 1809, and was educated
at the common schools of that day. He was a farmer and taught school during the winter months. A Republican in
politics, he was prominent in town and county affairs, was supervisor of Jerusalem for four terms, and clerk of

Branchport, N. Y.; Walter (deceased); Mary, who married George D. Vail, of this town, and Dr. Wade H. Botsford,
who lives at Dresden, N. Y. Frank now owns the old homestead and carries on farming and fruit growing. His mother
