Historical Sketch

JUDER CROSBY came from Norway, Herkimer county, in 1800, and settled north of Pen-y-caerau church, where he built a log inn which he conducted for some years. His wife was Olive Cady, sister of Andrew Cady, Sr. Their children were Smith; Joseph; Henry; Angeline, who married Simeon La Sure (or La Seur); and Harriet. Mr. Crosby later moved to what is now Prospect village, where he built a log house in the Basin near the falls; and still later removed to a location near the James Owen place, now the farm of John L. Jones, northwest of Prospect, where he built another log house, and also built one in the lower part of what is now Prospect village, below the hill on the road leading to Trenton Falls. Wolves were so troublesome at his first location, that he was compelled to frighten them away from the hog-pens and sheep-pens at night with fire-brands. Smith Crosby married Anna, daughter of Gilbert Cole, of Remsen. Children: Juder, who died at the age of twelve years; Maurice, who died at the age of three; Romayne B., of Boonville; and EUza Anna, wife of Martin Bimpelle, of Whitesboro.^[3]
