Family History:
Valentine Rathbone and his son, James Rathbone, came to this town (Spafford NY) from Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Mass., in the Fall of 1801, and settled on fifty acres in the southwest corner of Lot 69, Marcellus, of which the former had a deed.
In March of the next year Valentine Rathbone conveyed, without wife, these lands to James Rathbone, and the latter, from time to time thereafter, added to this purchase other lands on this and adjoining lots, until he owned at one time a very large farm of 336 acres, on lots 68, 69, and 74, Marcellus.
James Rathbone married Margaret Ashley, and by her had the following children:
James Harvey, married Clorinda Pardee, he died in Spafford and was buried in Borodino Cemetery, no stone;
Niles, married and died in Illinois;
Charlotte, married Conrad Hillebert, brother of John C. Hillebert, of this town;
Clorinda, married Edmund C. Weston, both dead, and buried in Borodino Cemetery;
Sophia, married Peleg Gifford, died near Utica, N. Y . ;
Fanny, married William Patten, dead, and buried in Borodino Cemetery;
Harriet, married Zara Berry, died in 1828, and buried at Thorn Hill;
Jane A., married Leonard Harvey, son of Medad and Anar (Buell) Harvey;
Mary, married Benjamin Folsom, (said to be an uncle in some degree of Mrs. Grover Cleveland), resided in Los Angeles, California;
Benjamin Frank, married and died in Michigan and
William, died in Spafford, unmarried.
Valentine Rathbone and his son, James Rathbone, were clothiers by trade, the former having built the first clothing mill in Pittsfield about 1768, and the latter built a similar mill in Factory Gulf, on Lot 74, Marcellus, soon after he came here.
Among the list of soldiers of the American Revolution mentioned in the history of Pittsfield, Mass., as serving
from that town, are the following: Daniel, James, Reuben,Valentine, Jacob, Sylvester and Charles T. Rathbone; the last three possibly may have been grandchildren of Valentine, the others were his sons.
