Wil- liam Walker, agent for Phelps & Co., with Enos Boughton, son or Hezekiah, erected a store-house at Canandaigua, which was the commencement of that town, in 1788. The same autumn Enos Boughton obtained a contract from Walker, for what became the town of Victor, his father, Hezekiah, Sr., pur- chasing about one-quarter of it. There he lived and improved the land, and his sons and kindred settled about him. An elevated part of the tract was called Boughton hill, which name it still bears at this writ- ing, 1889, from which a piece of land was set off and donated by him for a cemetery, where he was buried. He died 1798, aged 73 years ; she died at West Stock- bridge, 1789. To the published Recollections of Melania Boughton Smith (daughter of Jared and OUve Stone Boughton), by her son, E.
