Ozias was the first white settler of Susquehanna County, PA and an early pioneer settler of Homer, NY.

Known residence locations include: - Lenox, MA; 1757-1770 - Lee, MA; 1770-1787 - Hallstead/Great Bend, PA; 1787-1795 - Homer, NY; 1795-1807

And was sworn in as Overseer of the Poor at the Homer Town Meeting in 1797 --- In 1787, when Ozias Strong arrived with his families in Luzerne County (now Susquehanna County), the region had previously been occupied by Native Americans. The Tuscarora Tribe was within this region but is not factually known if they resided in today’s Great Bend region.

Ozias settled alongside the Susquehanna River opposite the "THREE APPLE TREES", known today as Great Bend, PA. The Three Apple Trees was the location where various meetings occurred when the territory was occupied by the Native Indians. Previous to the Revolutionary war, the "Susquehanna" was disputed territory between the Six Nations and the Delaware Indians.

The location where Ozias established his home is shown as "STRONG's" on the 1792 map of Pennsylvania from the David Rumsey collection. His homestead is believed to have been near the corner of Susquehanna Ave. and Pine Ave., Hallstead, PA.

Ozias is credited as the very first settler for Susquehanna County, although there were white inhabitants, squatters, scattered about the area when he arrived.

The earliest church for the entire region was established at "Strongs" with its earliest meetings held in the log cabin home of Ozias Strong. In time a Presbyterian church formed with most of its first known original members on Feb. 16, 1790: - Asa, Olive & Olive Adams (Asa ordained as a Deacon on Oct. 15, 1790) - John & Susannah Baker (Ozias’ Son-in-Law & Daughter) - Jonathan & Priscilla, Moses & Mary Bennett (Jonathan ordained as a Deacon on Oct. 15, 1790) - Daniel & Olive Buck (Daniel credited as first church Pastor; 1790-1799) - Elijah & Mary Leonard - James & Deborah Mitchell - Stephen Murch & wife - Ozias & Susannah Strong - Jane & Abigail Strong - Orasha [Horatio] & Patience Strong - Bennajah Strong & wife Some records suggest Orasha was an alternate spelling for Horatio.

Ozias and his cousin, Benejah, owned & occupied just under 1,100 acres of land alongside the Susquehanna River. Their land was within today's town named Hallstead. Ozias's land was northwest of today's Main Street and included today's "Susquehanna Ave." Benejah’s land was southeast of same. His cousin's land occupied both sides of Salt Lick Creek. It is not known for sure if today's Main St. was the dividing line between their properties. When the DuBois family arrived to the area they purchased the 601 acres owned by Benejah.

Capt. Benajah Strong (1740-1836), Find A Grave Memorial # 18756252, was referred to as "Capt. Strong" within Mr. Preston's journal of 1789. See F-A-G Memorial# 136417313 of Susannah Strong for additional background about Benajah. --- Ozias married on August 9, 1757 to Susan [Susannah] West, a daughter of Peletiah West & Elizabeth Lothrop [Lathrop], the first settler of Lee, Mass.

Aug. 17, 1789 -- “Jos. Strong, from the Apple Trees came to see me. He was in want of some money. His sister was very dangerously ill. They were wanting to send to a doctor at Chenango [Binghamton], but had no money. I concluded to lend him a guinea, and went home with him in the afternoon. Salt Lick Creek was so high we were under the necessity of quitting the road and taking to the hills on the west side. I saw no land there but what was tolerable and well worth locating. We reached the river before night.

Joseph Strong told me, on the way, that they had spared grain to relieve the distress of their neighbors until they had none left for themselves. For a considerable time before the wheat was fit to boil, that he and all their family, for several days, had really suffered exceedingly for want of food; that their distress and pain was very great; that when they came to eat boiled wheat it had such an effect upon many of them as to make them exceedingly sick, and raise a very high fever, which was then the case not only with his sister and a child at Captain Strong’s, but an abundance of people, both up and down the river. It appeared to me to be very probable that might be the cause, that their being starved so long had weakened the digestive faculties and created an unsatisfied appetite, that they had eaten before they were aware, more than nature then required for a support, and that they were actually foundered.

They treated me very kind, and entertained as well as their situation would admit. I had milk for supper, and a hay loft to lodge in, which was much better than I had at home.” --- THE CORTLAND DEMOCRAT, Cortland, NY Friday, June 21, 1935

One Venture Not Enough to Satisfy Early Settlers' Pioneering Instinct

History of the early settlements of Cortland County & Central New York credits the first comers into the wilderness with an abundance of only one thing – the pioneering instinct. Stories of the first settlers’ hardships give the reader a feeling that once would be enough for a lifetime. But pioneering seems to have been a habit with some of them. That is why it is that some of the earliest settlers disappear from Cortland County history after the first few years, and that is why it is that many of those who made homes here a century ago and a quarter ago are not mentioned at all. They went West to pioneer again.

A scrapbook owned by descendants of the Strongs and Bakers who settled in the town of Homer in 1794 and 1795 tells much of the pioneering history of these families, and it is made up of stories printed in an Ohio paper in 1871.

Ozias Strong, born at Lee. Mass., was the first settler of Great Bend, PA. He had six sons and six daughters. The sons were: Major Joseph, Horatio, Francis, Zadock, Peltiah, and Abner; and the daughters by their married names were Beulah Treet, Roxy Benedict, Hannah Gates, Susanna Baker, Polly Jones, and Lovina Todd.

John Baker, born at Hatfield, Mass. In 1765, was a greater pioneer that the Strongs, with whom he was associated by marriage and in seeking new homes in the wilds. John Baker pioneered four times, twice at Great Bend, once in the town of Homer, and again in Huron County, Ohio, where he died of accidental injuries in 1817, only 52 years old.

John Baker was not a favorite of fortune, according to the family history. His parents died when he was very young, and from childhood he was at work. He served six months in the Continental Army when he was 18, which would have been in 1783.

He went to Great Bend when he was 24 and married Susanna, daughter of Ozias Strong. They bought land and improved it, and promptly lost it because their title was faulty. Loss of improved land by reason of clouded title was not an uncommon misfortune.

Baker and his wife started their second pioneering adventure at Great Bend, cleared the ground, built a house, and seemed about to prosper, when fire destroyed their home.

Then they migrated to the town of Homer in 1794, their third venture. The family history says they were the ninth family to settle in Homer. They returned to Great Bend in the spring of 1795, where their first son, David J. Baker, was born, March 3. As soon as the ice was out of the river they journeyed by canoe to their new home in Homer.

Nearly twenty years of prosperity ended when misfortune struck again. A valuable farm had been cleared and comfortable buildings erected, when someone proved a title by a state grant. Baker expended nearly all of his personal property to defend his title, but in vain.

He struck out in April 1814, for Bellevue, Ohio, entered some land, raised a crop of corn, and in the fall returned to Home. With a sled drawn by oxen and a sleigh drawn by horses he started for Ohio, in January 1815. David J. Baker, his son, remained in the East and settled in Dryden, while the others began the fourth pioneering adventure. John Baker was killed Dec. 26, 1817, while aiding a neighbor at a log rolling.

Ozias Strong and the majority of his family came to the town of Homer from Great Bend in 1795. Major Joseph Strong, the oldest son, settled at Manlius, but migrated to Ohio in 1812. Horatio Strong went direct to Ohio from Great Bend. Francis Strong went with John Baker in January, 1815. Zadock Strong followed later that year. Abner and his sister, Mrs. Todd followed a little later. Their settlement near Bellevue is still known as Strong’s Ridge.

It is related of John Baker that he had no school advantages in his youth. He had to work. He learned to read and write after he married. His wife taught him. He was one of the early members of the Homer Congregational church, and was the author of a scholarly thesis when he dissented from some of the views held by the elders in the church. He was known as Deacon Baker in the Presbyterian Church at Bellevue. ---

From the speech provided by Judge McCollom during the October 1887 Centennial Celebration held at Hallstead, PA, the following text is what he conveyed to those in attendance:

A hundred years ago Ozias Strong from Lee, Mass., settled here. He was the first white inhabitant of the territory contained in this county. Around him was a wilderness. Along the river bank he built a log cabin and made a clearing. He was on a generous soil and in the midst of scenery attractive and inspiring, but without the advantages and protection afforded by civilized society. He was a pioneer in the work of subduing the forests and developing the resources of a new country. Of his life, his struggles and his achievements here, little is now known. The public records inform us that in June, 1790, he bought of Tench Francis, a tract of land lying on the north side of the river in the vicinity of the present bridge; and he afterwards sold from it a farm to Johnathan Dimon, who settled here in 1791. In 1795 he removed from this settlement to Homer, NY, where he died in 1807. (note: the bridge mentioned within this centennial text was positioned less than 1/10 mile north of today’s Great Bend-Hallstead bridge)

In the same year that Ozias Strong bought of Francis a tract on the north side of the river, Benajah Strong bought of the same landholder, a tract on the south side of the river, containing six hundred and one acres, lying on both sides of Salt Lick creek.

On the 21st of September, 1791, Benajah Strong sold his tract to Miman DuBois and Seth Putman. A portion, at least, of the present borough of Hallstead is within the lines of this tract. DuBois afterwards became the exclusive owner of it and resided upon it. At one time, and near this point, he kept a tavern, where the early settlers were entertained on their journeys to and from the wilderness south of us where they were then building their log huts and making their first clearings.

In that portion of the Susquehanna valley lying within our county and from which the townships of Great Bend, Harmony and Oakland were erected, there were, in 1787, evidences of the prior occupation of it by the Indians. Near us were the "Three Apple Trees" which formed the rallying point and headquarters of all the Indians in the neighborhood. As early as 1779 these trees bore the marks of great age. Near them, in the summer of that year, sixteen hundred soldiers of the revolution encamped enroute to join the army of Gen’l Sullivan at the mouth of the Chemung River in his memorable campaign against the Indians who, incited by British agents and British gold, had united with the Torres in their murderous attacks upon the border settlements. These soldiers descended the Susquehanna up on rafts and landed here to pass the night. -- In the neighborhood of their camp was an Indian burying ground. In the river not half a mile above us was an island which was a resort for Indian fishing and hunting parties. In Oakland, upon the Westfall farm, traces of an Indian village were found. While at the time of the settlement of this valley by the whites the Indians were not in the actual occupancy of it, they frequently passed along and across it in considerable numbers.

In 1788 Daniel Buck and his sons Ichabod and Benjamin, were settled on the north side of the river about two miles above the present borough of Great Bend at a point now known as Red Rock. It was stated in a newspaper article by the late Joseph DuBois that "this romantic locality was known to the early settlers as the Painted Rock, from the fact that high up on the face of one of the cliffs, and far above the reach of man, was the painted figure of an Indian chief." J. B. Buck, in writing of the same locality, said that when his "father came to Red Rock it was all wild. But on examination marks were found that could not be accounted for. The rocks upon the river were painted red and on the island was found the foundation of a house." These statements by descendants of pioneers of this valley point to the presence and work of civilized man in it before any known settlement of it.

Moses Comstock was the first settler at the East bend of the Susquehanna, near the pleasant village of Lanesboro, and it is believed that he was located there in November, 1787. He and his sons for a dozen years at least occupied and improved lands there which he was eventually compelled to relinquish on demand of the Pennsylvania claimant as he had no title to the land which the Pennsylvania authorities recognized. There is little doubt from the evidence attainable on this subject that Ozias Strong and Moses Comstock, with their families, were the only white inhabitants of this valley in that year. Johnathan Bennett stopped in Oakland a short time before, locating in Great Bend in 1788, and afterwards sold an improvement there to Isaac Hale, who came there in 1790; but whether he made the improvement before settling in Great Bend cannot be stated.

In Miss Blackman's history of the county four townships are designated as "settled" in 1787, these are mentioned in the order of their settlement and are Great Bend, Harmony, Oakland and Brooklyn. It stated, however, in the same history that there was not a house in Oakland prior to 1788, and that Johnathan Bennett arrived there that year. I cannot discover that Oakland had a white inhabitant in 1787, but as my researches on this subject have not been exhaustive the statement of the history referred to is not disputed, I merely say that I have not found the evidence on which it rests. ---

And from text offered within "The Centennial of Susquehanna County", written and compiled by James T. DuBois & Wm. J. Pike.

Three stalwart men, Ozias, Benajah, and Horatio Strong came to the Great Bend of the Susquehanna River. They were well fitted for the burdens of pioneer life.

Ozias was fifty-three years old and of powerful physique. His wife, who accompanied him, was the daughter of Pelatiah West, the first settler of Lee, Massachusetts. They had twelve children, one of whom, Pelatiah, Jr., was drowned in the Susquehanna River. Ozias died at Homer, NY, Nov. 21, 1807. Horatio, or Orasha, was the son of Ozias, born just nine months and seven days after the marriage of Ozias to Susan West, and was twenty-nine years old when he came to the Great Bend of the Susquehanna, where he was hunter, farmer, and inn-keeper for ten years, after which time he followed the course of empire west to Ohio, dying near Salem in that State in the year 1831.

Captain Benajah Strong, a cousin of Ozias, when he arrived in Pennsylvania, was forty-seven years old; six feet & two inches in height, had been a Captain in the Revolution. Although entitled to he refused a pension Was in servicwe when Danbury, CT, burned. Benajah was married to Jane Cochrane, of Woodbury, CT, who accompanied him first to Greene County, NY. After a few years residence at the west bend of the river he went to Ithaca, and from there to Lansing, where he bought 2,000 acres of land at $1 an acre, which could not now be purchased for $100 per acre. His wife died in 1816, and two years thereafter he married the widow Powers, of Stillwater, NY, who was the mother of the first wife of President Fillmore. Benajah died in 1836 at the age of six and ninety. His second wife died in 1850, eighty years old. His son, Benajah, Jr., died at Lansing in 1851.

Both Benajah and Ozias bought tracts in the summer of 1790. Benajah secured 601 acres on the south side of the river, which were a part of tracts of land originally warranted to Paul and Roger Harper in 1785.

The following concerning the above plot of survey was taken from the records at Harrisburg: - A draft of a tract of land situated on the southerly side of the northeast branch of the Susquehanna, opposite to an old Tuscarora town, including the mouth of Salt Lick Creek, in Stoke Township, Northumberland County, surveyed on the 25th day of April, 1785, for Paul Harper, by virtue of his warrant, dated the 4th day of April, 1785, containing three hundred and ninety-nine acres, and allowance of six per cent, for roads, &c. By WM. GRAY, D. S. To John Lukens, Esq., Surveyor-General.

Two days before Benajah received a title to his land Ozias purchased 453 acres on the north side of the river, which was a part of the land originally warranted to Joseph Rambo. Ozias must have also owned a part of the Paul Harper tract on the south side of the river, because old documents exist showing that he owned lands adjoining the Elisha Lenard property, which included the mouth of Wiley Creek.

All the land above mentioned was deeded by the warrantees to Tench Francis, who transferred it to the Strongs in the summer of 1790. The next spring Mina DuBois arrived from Philadelphia as the agent of his brother Abraham, and he bought of Benajah Strong the 601-acre tract on the south side of the river. A large portion of this tract has ever since remained in the family, and is now the property of James T. DuBois.

What were the Strongs doing between 1787 and 1790? The genealogy of the family proves that they located at the Bend of the Susquehanna in 1787. Up to that time Benajah owned a ferry-boat plying between Athens and Hudson. They may have crossed Greene County, and, reaching the eastern branch of the Delaware River, passed down it some distance, and then, crossing over to the Susquehanna, followed that stream down to the high on the south side of the river where Hallstead is now situated, and where they erected the first log cabin ever built within the borders of our county.
