Mr. & Mrs. Main lived in the Main Settlement in Connecticut tilltheir children were all born, and at least one, George married whilethere. They came to New York State with an ox-team and two horses, andremained for a time at Petersburg, Rensselaer Co. George Main and wiferemained a year or so there, at which place their son Jefferson was born.The family came on westward, stopping for a visit with Edward Thurstonand Abigail Main, his wife, who lived near Cooperstown, Otsego Co., NY.Their daughter Susannah remained a year or more with her aunt Thankful.The family moved on, spending a year in the town of Plainfield, thenlocated near So. Brookfield, Madison Co., NY, where Mr. Main purchased afarm of one hundred and sixty acres with a frame house thereon, which wasuncommon in those days. This homestead was about three miles from FiveCorners, where the church was located, with Elder Simeon Brown, Jr.,founder and pastor. Mr. Main owned one of the largest and strongesthorses in the vicinity, named "Old Sampson," which he would mount, andride to church with his wife or daughter. Later his daughter Susannahseemed quite willing to go, mounted on the pillion behind her father. Mr.Main was chosed deacon of the church soon after settling in the Mainhomestead, and his wife and several children became devout members.Deacon Daniel Main was a very will-educated man; he taucht school inConnecticut, and also in New York State, being very proficient in theprofession, as some of his descendants have been also. While inConnecticut he often preached, but did not preach much after coming toNew York State. He was Justice of the Peace, but farming was his chiefoccupation. He was tall, rather slender, and a man of commandingappearance. Being a deep thinker he was listened to very attentively, ashe also possessed a very pleasing voice.
Mrs. Main was short, and rather fleshy. For many years she wasblind. She had a severe attack of typhoid fever, during which she wastenderly cared for by her daughter Susannah, and son Ira Miner and wife.After her recovery she could read and sew without even spectacles, someof her handiwork being in existence now in 1912.
About one-half acre in the southeast corner of the Main homesteadwas set aside for burial purposes and known as the Main Cemetery. Thefirst one to be buried there was Thankful (Brown) Main, wife of JeremiahMain, who died March 20, 1812, aged ninety-five years. Her son DeaconDaniel and wife beside her, and several in the three followinggenerations rest there. In memory of Deacon Daniel Main and wife areunion is held yearly. At first it was held on the old homestead, laterat the homes of different members of the union; but usually, of lateyears, at Summit Lake, a very quiet but picturesque place in the vicinityof Burlington Flats, Otsego Co., NY.
