      2. History of Worth, Jefferson, New York per http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/worth.htm: "The northeast quarter of the town was sold in 1803 for $7,662. to a company comprised of Timothy Greenly, Joseph Wilcox and Elihu A. Gillette. They sold over twenty lots from this section, most to Connecticut families. The first settlers, an association from Litchfield, Herkimer County, arrived by ox cart in 1802, and a few more in 1803. They traveled by way of Rome and Redfield. That part of the town was then covered with dense forest, which had to be cleared before the families could plant their crops. Among the first settlers were Amos and Abijah Gillett, Nathan Matoon, W. Flower, Lodowyck Edwards, John Griswold, Asa Sweet, Abner Rising, and Phineas Rose."

      3. http://www.wcig.net/grbush35.htm: "EARLY DAYS IN GREENBUSH - Roswell Rose. Roswell Rose was born in Oneida county, New York, February 2, 1801. His father was Phineas Rose, a Revolutionary soldier. He attended school but very little, but was educated by his mother, who was a scholarly woman. He taught school for a number of years when a young man. He afterward learned the carpenter's trade and worked for a time in the city of Buffalo, New York. In 1836, he came to Chicago with his family, consisting then of a wife and four children, and worked there at his trade for about a year, when he pre-empted a piece of land in Lake county, Illinois, about twenty miles northwest of Chicago, the land in that locality having but recently come into market. He improved this land and lived there about six years, when he moved to Waukegan, Illinois, a small village, then just starting, where he worked at carpenter work and millwrighting, being interested in building the first mill erected in that place. He came to Fulton and Warren counties in the summer of 1850, and purchased a half-interest in a mill property, situated near where Swan creek crosses the Meridian line. This property had been partially improved some time before by John and Riverus Woods. A sawmill was already running and a frame put up for a gristmill. Mr. Rose returned to Waukegan in the fall of that year and moved his family, locating on the northeast quarter of section 13, in Greenbush township, now known as the Saunders farm. Here he bought a log house and some other small improvements. The house was built by Loren Woods in 1838. He resided in this house about three years, when he erected a frame dwelling on the south side of the creek and near the mill, where he resided until his death. Mr. Rose, with his partner, Riverus Woods, put the grist-mill in operation in 1851. This mill did quite a large business for a number of years, and was a great accommodation to the surrounding country, especially Greenbush township and farther west, many customers coming there from a distance of 25 or 30 miles, and sometimes they were obliged to wait two or three days to get their grist ground. When this mill was built Swan creek furnished sufficient water to run the mill nearly the whole year, but as the country became improved, the water became less and steam power was added. This mill proved to be a death trap for Mr. Rose. On September 5, 1867, he was caught in a band and instantly killed. His partner, Riverus Woods, had died the year before at the age of 62 years. At the time of Mr. Rose's death his son, H. Rose, was interested with him in the business and carried it on for some time after. Roswell Rose was married to Elizabeth Ingraham in Oneida county, New York. Six children were born to them, namely: Harriet, Havilah R., Silas N., and Cyrus (twin brothers), William H., and Birney. Elizabeth, wife of R. Rose, died in Avon, Illinois, November 29, 1870, at the age of 66 years, surviving her husband a little more than three years."

      4. Http://hasjny.tripod.com/id10.html: "Town of Worth. Historical Association of South Jefferson. The Town of Worth was formed from Lorraine on April 12, 1848. It is located in the southeastern corner of Jefferson County, and is bounded on the north by Rodman and Pickney, on the east by the Lewis County town of Montague, on the south by the Oswego County town of Redfield, and on the west by Lorraine. The surface of the town is very elevated and the altitude is greater than any other part of the county. The first settlers, Asaph Case and Leonard Bullock, came to Worth in the fall of 1802. They were soon followed by Eli Gillette. Leonard Bullock's first house was built entirely of logs, without floor, door or windows. The roof was made of hollow basswood logs, split, and laid so that every other one formed a trough to carry away the water. A blanket hung up served as a door, and the earth, smoothed down and covered with leaves, served for a floor. This way Mr. Bullock, wife and 10 children spent the first winter. In the spring of 1803 Joseph Wilcox settled in the town, followed by Warren Flower, Lodowick Edwards, John Griswold, Ezekiel Cheever, Phineas Rose, Joel Caulkins, Abram Ford, Nathan Mattoon, Asa Sweet, John Pinear, Phinease Stevens, Elijah Richmond, David Richmond, John Sagas, William Sagas, John Houghtaling. Principal Communities were: Worthville, Worth Center, and Diamond."
