Note:
"Phillip Myrtle was a pioneer settler of Wheeler. He built the first saw mill in the area, having come to Bath, New York, in 1797 from Hill's Island, Pennsylvania, in the Susquehanna River. It took him six weeks to get to Painted Post, New York, where he left his family while he proceeded to Bath, near which he killed a black bear. He sent the meat back to his family and sold the hide for five dollars. After three years he was able to buy 40 acres of land in Wheeler, for which he paid two and a half dollars an acre."
Phillip married Rebecca WALTERS in 1795. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
