. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. ^%^^^^^^1S^. Joseph Grover Sturpevant was born at Caldwell, N. J., Feb. 25, 1807. He was a descendant of John Sturdevant, son of a London silversmith, who in colonial times emigrated from England to Con- necticut. The line of desc(nt is 1st, John; 2d, James; 3d, John ; 4th, Joseph G. The great-grandfather and grandfather were both farmers. The former died in Connecticut, - the latter, in Pennsylvania. John, father of Joseph G., was born in Norfolk, Conn., April 12, 1776. He was the seventh son in his father's family of twelve chil- dren. Physically he was more delicate than his brothers, yet possessed of patient, quiet industry and perseverance. That, joined with his poetical tastes and love for intellectual pursuits, enabled him, despite unfavorable circumstances, to obtain a very good education. This he turned to successful account as teacher from time to time during his varied and eventful life. His wife, formerly Mrs. Crane, daughter of Joseph Grover, a Pres- byterian clergyman and missionary in Western New York, was born in Parsippany, N. J., Jan. 2, 1777. Their three children were also born in that State, —Harriet (now Mrs. Eleazer Hiler, of Michigan), in 1804; Joseph G., in 1807; and Miss Abby Sophia, of Prattsburgh, in 1815. John Sturdevant served in the war of 1812-14 as a colonel of the United States troops quartered at New York, in which city he was for several years a merchant, also a marshal, and keeper of a State prison. He removed to Virginia; afterwards to Bristol, N. Y.; and from thence, two years later, to Prattsburgh, where he purchased a saw- mill and seventeen acres of land. To this himself and son made additions from time to time until his death, which occurred Sept. 22, 1854. His wife died in Ohio, at the residence of her son, Zenas Crane, March
