From the HISTORY OF ONTARIO COUNTY; compiled by Lewis Cass Aldrich; edited by George S. Conover; 1893:
"Henry Pardee was born in Sharon, Connecticut, September 23, 1796, and came with his parents to the town of Victor in 1802. His father, Silas Pardee, purchased a farm about a mile east from Victor village, owned a few years since by George A. Adams, Helen M. Lane being the present owner.
He secured a good education in the public schools, and, upon reaching manhood his ability and intelligence were recognized by his townsmen, and he was many times elected to fill important offices, holding that of justice of the peace for many years, and was generally known as Esquire Pardee. He was elected four terms to represent his district in the Assembly at Albany, and looked faithfully and well after the interests of his constituents. Mr. Pardee was careful in preserving a file of his business correspondence during his service as Assemblyman, and it is interesting to note some of the requests for his influence.
In politics Mr. Pardee was what was called an old line Whig, and upon the organization of the Republican party, he became an ardent advocate of its principles and purposes, and was considered one of the strong men of the town, acting with vigor in whatever he was interested in. He died June 15, 1862, about a year after the civil war commenced. As might be expected, he was found heartily sustaining the integrity of the Union up to the time of his death."
