Henry Beary Jr. - Founder of Bearytown, later Fayette, NY.
Henry Beary removed to Seneca county, New York before the year 1819, where he purchased a large tract of military lands. He soon established a business center, first known as "Beary's Corners," but which subsequently grew into Bearytown, by which name is known to this day, a beautiful, typical New York state village. Henry Beary was one of the most popular men in Seneca county, his place was a favorite gathering place for military organizations on general training days, and also for political conventions. A quaint old stone church building in which the members of the Reformed congregation worship, stands opposite Henry Beary's old home. In the graveyard in the rear of the building lie the remains of many of the Beary family. A granddaughter of Henry Beary in recent years presented a chime of bells to the congregation.
