In an address given by Ross G. Watkins at the Old Rutland Hill Church
on August 16, 1942 he stated – “One item which has seemingly escaped attention
was the coming of two Mormon Elders and their flock to the scene. They
strewed the countryside with their propaganda and soon the excitement was
intense. Then more of them came until quite a colony was formed. After
a bit, some opposition arose and they, with some of the settlers who embraced
their faith, moved to near Liberty, Pa, where they founded the village
of Nauvoo. (Meaning the beautiful.) There, more persecution arising, they
moved to Illinois and founded a city also called Nauvoo in the year 1839.
During a riot in 1844, Joseph Smith, the leader and his brother were killed
and the building of their temple was stopped. Then Brigham Young led them
on to Utah. During their stay here it seems they occupied this farm as
I remember it, they left four of their number, two adults and two children
to mingle with the dust on that knoll up there. As long as George Tanner
owned this farm, he kept some field stones in place to mark their final
resting place and inplaying around the old orchard as children, my cousin
and I came upon them and were told by the old folks why they were there.
What their names were or where they came from is all conjecture now but
perhaps some older and abler
historian might be able to find out and if so, I would like to hear
from them (History of the Old Rutland Church, Rutland Township, Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, Ross G. Watkins, 1942).
The Curtis family was one of several Rutland families that embraced
Mormonism and removed west. Enumerated in Fulton County, Illinois in 1840.

FORD
William Ford b. c. 1781 appears on a special assessment of Tioga and Delmar Townships, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, dated 7 Oct 1814 when it was submitted to the commissioners of Tioga County. This was a special tax enumeration of the two townships that existed in the entire County at that date. William Ford is listed as age 33, farmer. He appears on the 1816, 1817, and 1818 assessment lists of Jackson Township (Rutland Township not yet created). Solomon Wood purchased 53 acres (Liber 4:197) on 7 Nov 1814 from the Bingham Trustees, situated on warrant parcel 1373 (present Pumpkin Hill, Rutland Township) which mentions bordering lands surveyed to David Nichols, William Ford, and Ebenezer Rumsey. The Ford and Rumsey families had resided in Hubbardton, Rutland County, Vermont.

In the Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch County, Michigan it relates that Daniel Rumsey Ford was born in “Vermont, in Rutland County, Dec. 16, 1814. His parents William and Laura (Rumsey) Ford, were natives of Vermont. After marriage the father and mother of our subject, settled in Rutland County, Vt., where the father was engaged in farming, but they subsequently removed to Genesee County, N.Y., where they died.” Later in the same sketch it states – “Our subject was five years old when his parents left their old home under the shadows of the Green Mountains , and took up their abode in Genesee County, N.Y.”
No mention is made in the above biography of Tioga County, Pennsylvania
and Daniel stated he was born in Vermont after the William Ford of Tioga
County appears on the 1814 assessment list.

In an address given by Ross G. Watkins at the Old Rutland Hill Church
on August 16, 1942 he stated – “One item which has seemingly escaped attention

GOFF
Solomon Goff b. c. 1764 enlisted at East Haddam, Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. He is perhaps a son of Solomon Goff, but further research is needed. In the Early History of Berlin, Vermont by Mary Green Nye, 1795 is the first year that names were listed in the Town Meeting Record Book of persons taking the Freeman's Oath and among the names was Aaron Goff (father of Bethuel Goff who also removed to Wells Township). A footnote appended to the record of 1797 gives a list of names from the former town clerk as having taken the Freeman's oath prior to 1797, which had not been recorded, and included Solomon Goff, which is perhaps the Solomon Goff b. c. 1740 and possibly the father of Solomon b. c. 1764.
Solomon had a wife, Huldah b. c. 1776 (age 44 in 1820) baptised 20 Jan 1800 Eastbury, Connecticut. Removed in the spring of 1800 from Eastbury, Connecticut to Fabius, Onondaga County, New York and was enumerated there in 1800 with one male under age ten (b. 1791-1800), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1756-74), one male over age forty five (b. before 1755), one female under age ten (b. 1791-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five 9b. 1756-74). Enumerated in Fabius in 1810 with one male under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), one male of age forty five and over (b. before 1765), four females under age ten (b. 1801-10), one female of age ten and under age sixteen 9ib. 1795-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). The History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897, states that Solomon Goff settled north of Roseville in 1815. In Mar 1818 (pension application), resided Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Related to have removed to Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania from Sullivan Township, Tioga County between 1818 and 1820. Sullivan and the future Rutland Township, which had not yet been created bordered each other in Tioga County. Solomon does not appear on the 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819 or 1820 assessment lists of Jackson Township, which included part of the future Rutland Township. Solomon does not appear on the 1818 or 1819 assessment lists of Sullivan Township. The deposition for a pension below would indicate the Goff family lived in Tioga County in 1818.
