Early settlers in the Town of Lebanon 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.]

        Lebanon was formed from Hamilton Feb. 6, 1807.  It was one of the six
towns originally  patented to Col. William S. SMITH, who soon after 
transferred the major portion of it to Sir William PULTNEY, reserving, 
however, a large tract bordering the Chenango.  There were, therefore, two 
agencies active in promoting the settlement of the lands in this town... 
 
In 1791 
Joshua SMITH, a native of Franklin, Conn., settled but 
            subsequently moved to Riga,  Monroe county. 
Col. Willilam S. SMITH sent brother, Justus B., to act as agent 
for sale of lands and he, together with  brothers John and James 
and five sisers, joined him in the settlement. They were natives 
of Long Island.
