"Charles Colburn
"Charles Colburn with his wife and three sons, George, Caleb and Abijah came from Shrewsbury, Vermont, in 1833 and settled in Podonque. His brother Seth owned the adjoining farm. Two or three years later Holton, the younger brother, came, walking over from Rochester with his boots on his back filled with potatoes for seed. He bought the farm south of Seth's. Thus the three Colburn brothers lived near each other for several years.
"In 1838 Holton married Phebe Benjamin. In 1840 Charles and Seth built a saw-mill on Thunder Shower Creek. This mill was run incessantly at certain periods of the year. In 1846 Charles, with his sons George and Caleb, built a saw-mill at Kellogsville. They had the first circular saw used in Rushford. Teams were sent to Rochester after it.
"These brothers possessed a combination of faculties that made them desirable citizens. They were good farmers, good mechanics, able to turn their hand to almost any kind of work. They were upright and temperate. They did not desire notoriety, yet they aided in every worthy cause.
The children of Holton were Gratie, Julia (Mrs. Nathan Miller, deceased) and Myra (Mrs. A. Frazer). Gratie and Myra still reside in Rushford. Adoniram and Henry B. were the sons of Seth."
