Bouton-Boughton Family

(ii.) Enos Boughton (son of Hezekiah and Abigail Pen- oyer Boughton) b. Stamford, Conn., May 26, 1755. At just what date he went to Stockbridge the writer is not informed. By the aid of the published EecoUections of Melania Bough- ton Smith, by her son, E. Delafield Smith, New York, 1870, many interesting incidents of early history have been obtained, among which is the following : "In the year 1788, Phelps & Company, of New England, purchased large tracts of land in western New York, of the Indians, notwithstanding such purchases had been prohibited, except by consent of the legislature. They appointed William Walker their agent, by whom Enos Boughton was subse- auently employed as clerk. Enos Boughton and his brother [ezekiah, Jr., having heard of the fertility of the Genesee country, went, in the year 1788, through trackless forests, to explore that region. They accomplished their object and returned ; and again, m the spiing of 1789, he and his brother Jared visited the place which subsequently became 272 BouTON-BouGHTON Familt. Victor, the residence of so many of the Boughtons and their connections. During the fall of 1788, he, Enos, secured a contract from Walker for what became the town of Victor, and before the following spring had sold more than two-thirds of his purchase. ^^ In process of time some trouble was experienced in obtaining satisfactory titles for these lands, and he, Enos Boughton, became heavily involved, by which not only himself but his brothers, who endeavored to assist him, became large losers, and in order to retrieve their losses, he and his brother Jared, and brother-in-law Daniel Sawyer, went to North Carolina in the summer of 1799. Their project was to make lumber of the juniper or white cedar, which grew in the swamps of that region. The climate not proving congenial and tne enterprise unsatisfactory, he, Enos, soon returned with his family to Victor. He married, place and date not known, but probably West Stockbridge, Mass., Clarissa Jones, and moved (after his return from North Carolina to Victor), thence to Niagara FaUs, and then to Lockport, N. Y., where he died three years later, Oct. 5, 1827, aged 73 years. She died April 19, 1821, aged 58 years. ** Enos Boughton was a man of great force of character ; was active, enterprising, and always sanguine of success in his schemes, when others would have yielded to discourage- ment. His figure was fine and erect, his eyes dark and expressive. In manner he was courtly but always dignified, and rather reserved. He spent his later years in retire- ment, at his first home at Boughton Hill, interesting him- self in reading, a little farming, gardening and fruit rais- ing, of which he was very fond. A widowed daughter and her child were his chief companions, his wife having died many years before.^' Note. — An article appeared in a Rochester newspaper on the 4:th of January, 1889, as foUows : *' Yellow with Age. — One of the first transfers of real estate made in Monroe county, N. Y., was recorded in the county clerk's office yesterday. The paper was worn and yellow with age, but the writmg was well preserved. The deed was given on August 9, 1795, by Enos Boughton, of Bloomfield, Ontario county, N. Y., to his kinsman, Horatio Boughton, yeoman. The land described in the deed consisted of 241^ acres on the south side of Genesee river, at the entrance of Bed creek, and the consideration was £500. Enos Boughton, the grantor, was the f oundei* of a large family, many de- scendants of which reside in that locality. A portion of the BOUTON-BOUGHTON FAMILY. 273 land embraced in this deed, is in the tract selected by the park commissioners for the proposed South Park. When this deed was made, the site of Rochester was an unbroken wilderness, and the purchaser little dreamed that in less than 100 years his descendants would sell the land to a great city for a park."
