In 1996, a New York State Historical marker was placed on Snyder Hill Road a short distance from its intersection with Pine Tree Road. That marker says “WM. & HANNAH PEW in 1801 settled 600 acres that today comprise Eastern Heights & vicinity. The Pine Tree/Snyder Hill Rd. corner was once known as Pewtown.”

The name, Pewtown, came from William Pew (3), (the designation used in this document), one man in a caravan of pioneers who came from New Jersey in 1801, and who first began to farm and develop that area. There is some evidence that the area encompassed by Pewtown may have actually been slightly larger than the single intersection of Pine Tree and Snyder Hill Roads. The original tavern purchased by William Pew (3) and his wife, Hannah, was located on Ellis Road (now Ellis Hollow Road). The farm that was purchased with the tavern was actually 450 acres which stretched from Cascadilla Creek to the Catskill Turnpike (now Slaterville Road). This area of the farm included much of what is now Honness Lane and encompassed the area of the current East Lawn Cemetery, which was originally named Pewtown Grave Yard. Data on the Pew family that settled and developed this area is presented herein.

The earliest information we have of the PEW Family, from whom we are descended, is from a genealogical history found in the Joint Free Library of Morristown and Morris Township, New Jersey. This genealogical history is based on a book entitled Early Germans of New Jersey, by T.F. Chambers which gives a brief account of the early settlers of Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex, & Warren Counties and includes data from the Calender of Wills found in other New Jersey colonial documents. Data collected by several families, that are descended from the Pew’s, has also been included.

vii. Dan Pew was a prominent spy in Washington’s army in the retreat across New Jersey. On one occasion, Dan was taken prisoner by Indian allies of the English and was about to be burned by them. However, a British officer who was a Mason, learning that the spy was also a Mason, succeded through strategy to give Dan an opportunity to escape. Dan took the opportunity by swimming across a river and under cakes of ice. No vital data for Dan has been found.

WILLIAM PEW (1) was one of the earliest settlers in the vicinity of Schooley’s Mountain but his was the first purchase of land there by an actual settler. He bought, on Mar. 1, 1733 from Thomas Schooley, 136 acres between Pleasant Grove and Stephensburg, Washington Township, Morris Co., NJ. This area was settled largely by Germans. Why he settled among the Germans is not known as all traditions of William’s family claims that the Pew’s were of English descent from people of wealth. Early records of the people arriving in America, bearing the name Pew, show that they came from England.

The land originally purchased from Thomas Schooley by William Pew (1) was conveyed to his two grandsons Wm. and Joseph Pew on Dec. 13, 1770. Joseph Pew subsequently,on March 7, 1776, did quitclaim said land to Wm. Pew. (Wm. Pew in the above description is William Pew (3) in this document.)

The will of Willaim Pew (1) dated Roxbury Sep. 7, 1773 and probated Sep. 24, 1773 listed his heirs as wife, Abigail, sons Samuel & Thomas, daughters Mary, Hannah, & Abigail and Grandson William Pew (we know that William Jr. had died prior to his father’s will but Dan was not mentioned for unknown reasons).

The following is the abstract of the will of William Pew (1) from the Calendar of Wills in the New Jersey Archives, First Series, Vol. XXXIV:

1773, Sept. 7. Pew, William, of Roxbury Township, Morris Co.; will of. Wife, Abigail Pew, 1/3 of my personal estate, and at her death, to my 3 daughters. Grandson, William Pew, 10 shillings.

WILLIAM PEW (3) was born near Schooley's Mountain, Washington Township, Morris County, March 29, 1752. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War from Morris County, NJ. He married Hannah Lacy and had five sons and a daughter Elizabeth. The sons names were John, William, Joseph, Benjamin and Richard, all of whom served in the war of 1812. In October of 1801 he left New Jersey with his entire family to visit his uncles in Canada, probably with the intention of locating there. His wife, Hannah, said she would not undertake the journey unless the entire family including son John with wife and son Bertine could accompany them. The family traveled in a sleigh. When about two miles east of Ithaca on the Ellis Road, they rested at a country tavern whose owner was most anxious to sell his house and land. The tavern owner tried to persuade William Pew, who had money, to buy his farm but the Pews decided to continue their journey to Canada. They had traveled some distance from Ithaca, apparently to the site of the current village of Ludlowville, when they were delayed while Anna, wife of John, gave birth to a their second child, Margaret. The news of this delay reached the owner of the farm and tavern near Ithaca and he followed after the Pews and finally persuaded them to return to Ithaca and purchase his land described in one account as lying between the Catskill Turnpike and Cascadilla Creek.

A parcel of land in Morris County, NJ was conveyed by William Pew and Hannah his wife, to Peter Sailor on October 8, 1801. (Morris County, NJ Deed Book F, p. 184-7) A smaller parcel of land adjacent, was conveyed by William and Hannah to one John Daniels, on June 13, 1801. (Morris County, NJ Deed Book D, p. 437-8) The family then left for New York, and after this sale, purchased the 450 acre farm in the Snyder Hill area east of Ithaca.

By Indenture dated 1 Jan. 1802, Benjamin Wallace deeded to William Pew all of lot 96, containing 600 acres, reserving 100 acres out of the SE corner and 50 acres out of the NW corner. Recorded in Onondaga County, Deed Book C, pages 330-3.

Subsequently, by four Indentures in 1810-11, William Pew deeded the same 450 acres to: Joseph (son) - 50 acres, Wm. Jr. (son) - 50 acres [note that this is William Pew (4) in this document], Matthias Honnes (son-in-law) - 50 acres, John (son) - 300 acres as recorded in Seneca County Deed Book D, pages 436-40.

His headstone at East Lawn Cemetery reads: William Pew “First Pew Settler” d. May 29, 1818 ae 66 y 2 m 10d.

Hannah LACY was of Irish descent. When all five of her sons decided to enlist in the cause of their country (War of 1812), it caused great commotion in the family. Mother Hannah mourned that not one could remain and became tearful. Grand- daughter Lorenda, three years old, also took the situation to heart. She buried herself in the covers on one of the great high beds of those days, fell asleep, and it was hours before the frantic grandpa, grandma, and mother found her. Hannah’s headstone gives her age at death as 102 yrs.

4. JOHN LACY PEW b. Jul. 28, 1779 at Morris Co., NJ, d. Aug. 29, 1821 at Ithaca, NY, m. Anna COWELL (some records may use Covell as spelling of Anna’s maiden name) b.

JOHN LACY PEW was a soldier in the war of 1812 and lived in an old red house on a farm at Pewtown, Ithaca, NY. The land was then covered with forest so, for a few years, they planted their corn and potatoes on main street. He owned the land where the present East Lawn Cemetery is located. The "Tompkins County History of Methodism" indicates that he was a religious leader in this section, holding revival classes at Pewtown. His headstone reads: John Pew d. Aug 29, 1821 ae 42y 1m. Ida (Infant) Pew Lot owner John Pew d. Sept. 7, 1834.

Anna COWELL’s mother's name was Bauman or Bowman. A man named Lambert Bauman of German Valley, NJ (note that German Valley was later re-named Long Valley at the time of World War I), who was her cousin, visited her during her last illness. The will of Anna Pew dated July 31, 1827 - Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY mentions son William, daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, Anna, and Executor - Bertine Pew, her son.

BENJAMIN PEW served in the War of 1812 with the rank of Colonel. He lived at the west edge of Snyder Hill overlooking Pewtown. Benjamin later moved to Ithaca, dying at his home at the nothwest corner of Seneca Street and Stewart Avenue. His headstone says he was aged 98y 6m at death. He reportedly held the family records of his father and grandmother Purcell but they were lost. This is believed to be the reason that we can find so little about his father, William Pew (3) and his family, in New Jersey. His occupation was Farmer according to the 1860 Federal Census. Benjamin and his wife Nancy deeded land to the Trustees of the East Lawn School District, the conditions of which are documented by a bond from Justus S. Mithcell to Benjamin Pew as follows:

Whereas Benjamin Pew and Nancy, his wife, have by deed bearing date October 22nd , 1857, conveyed to me their reversionary intent in a certain piece of land deeded by them to the Trustees of School District No. twenty in the Town of Ithaca - the said premises having been deeded to said trustees to be used for a School House or Meeting House and in case of its ceasing to be so used is to revert to the said grantors.

Now then for the condition of this obligation is such that if the said premises known as the School Lot shall ever revert to the said Benjamin Pew, or cease to be used and occupied as and for a school house or Meeting House, that I will pay to the said Benjamin Pew or his Officers Administrators or Heirs at the rate of fifty-dollars an acre therefor.

In witness whenof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 22nd day of October 1857.

Signed sealed and delivered in the presence of W. V. Bruyn

Signed: J. S. Mitchell

The1850 Ithaca Census, shows children of Benjamin: John age 22, Charles S. age 20, Marvin age 18, Henrietta age 16, Helen F. age 12, George N. age 10, Benjamin F. age 8. (Benjamin F. could be Benjamin Frank)

John Snyder had been married before to Rebecca Penrith. He moved to St. Peter Minn. where Helen lived with him until he died, then she returned to her home in Tompkins Co., NY. As per Snyder family records John and Helen had a son Frank. When her father made his will, she was listed as Helen Way, so she had not married John Snyder yet (at that time she would be 47 yrs. old), so it is doubtful that Helen and John are the parents of Frank.

Elizabeth and Matthias Honness lived between Pewtown and the Catskill Turnpike (currently Slaterville Rd.) in the area around the current Honness Lane which undoubtedly got its name from this family.

East Lawn Cemetery records state that the spelling is “Hormers” as shown below. This is clearly a mistake in spelling and the headstone dates do not even seem to be correct for Elizabeth.

Hormers, Matthias d. Feb. 21, 1848 ae 80y 5m 15d

Hormers, Eliza, his wife d. Oct. 15, 1837 ae 55y 6m 21d

Another reading of this monument was done on April 20, 2000 as follows:
