Did come across this Register of Masonic Organizations. Takes a little time to zero in on each one of interest, but when you find them it shows the names of the principals, mostly early settlers. I checked Millport lodge, as an example, and recognize the names shown.

The Dams that were built in Tioga County in the 1970s caused the destruction of large land areas. Among the losses were several cemeteries and many houses and other buildings. Many of the lost farms had long family histories. In Nelson, many buildings were relocated, but many others in the area were lost entirely. We hope to collect some of the photos of lost buildings for this section of the site f you have any send them to me in HIGH RESOLUTION JPG format. Please do not be stingy with the pixels or I'll have to ask you to do it again. Please include whatever history you have on the building and its residents as well.
