Early settlers in the Town of Cazenovia taken from "1784 History of 
Chenango & Madison Counties, NY" by James H Smith; pub. 1880.  Tried to use 
year, where stated, person and where they were from. 
 
     Cazenovia was formed from Whitestown and Paris, March 5, 1795 and 
derives  its name from Theophilus Cazenove, the first agent of the Holland 
Land Company.  It originally embraced an extent of territory nearly equalling
Madison county.  De Ruyter, which then embraced the present towns of 
Georgetown, German, Lincklaen, Otselic and Pitcher, was taken off March 15, 
1798; Sullivan, then embracing the town of Lenox, Feb. 22, 1803; Smithfiled,
