  Note	SOME INCIDENTS OF THE WAR OF 1812 AND OTHER OLD TIME REMINISCENCES By J. W. HUBBELL Father (Julius C. Hubbell) at first boarded with Mrs. Grant, who lived in a log house about where Mr.and Mrs. Fletcher Gilbert now live. Afterwards he boarded with Septa Fillmore in a log house near where the hotel now stands. In 1807 five families, the heads being Septa Fillmore, Seth Graves, Eleasur Graves, and John Brownson moved up from Saxe's Landing to Chazy, which was known for many years as the 'Five Nations'. The origin of the name is reported as follows. A company of traders from the south, stopped at the Landing to purchase furs. On inquiry of the landlord, 'Old Chantonette,' he told them that there were no furs for sale there, but there was an Indian village three miles west, called the 'Five Nations,' where they could doubtless purchase furs; they started with high expectations, but just before reaching there,found these five men working on the road, they told their mission and the directions they had received. 'Trash' exclaimed one of the party, 'that's one of old Chantonette's tricks.' There were many others who settled here at that time, but I cannot stop to speak of them at this time. Many of them were soldiers of the war of 1812 and 1814, and afterwards remained here. There was one I remember well; he was a shoemaker, and lived in the southwest corner of John H. McCan's lot.
