A Trip from Poland, NY to Historic Pardee Ville
Starting at the Town of Russia Municipal Offices we left on North Main St. (Rt. 28) Poland, NY to Cold Brook, NY via Cold Brook St. (Rt. 8). We then turned onto the Military Rd. in Cold Brook. The trip continued on Military Rd. turning onto Grant Rd. and then taking a right onto Pardeeville Rd. Our journey ends at what was known as Pardee Ville and now known as Pardeeville Corners (intersection of Pardeeville Rd. and Black Creek Rd.). Pardeeville Rd. continues onto the four-corners in Grant, NY.
The Pardee family were Huguenots from Normandy, France. Driven from their homes because of religious persecution from the Catholic majority in the 16th and early 17th century moved to England. The first recorded birth of a Pardee is in England in ...

The Ruins of Hinckley, NY #history #culture #archaeology #explore #ruins #herkimer #newyork
The Ruins of Hinckley, NY
Hinckley, New York is located next to Hinckley Lake. Originally dammed up to supply water to the Erie Canal and completed in 1915. The lake provides municipal water supply to 130,000 people in the greater Utica, New York. [1] Creation of the lake required the elimination of 209 buildings, making up parts of three villages, and it flooded seven miles of highways. [2]
Elijah Hinckley, born March 25, 1765, and Gardner Hinckley I, born October 19, 1766, were sons of Samuel Hinckley V and his wife, Mary Vincent Hinckley (born in Pomfret, Conn). They descended from Samuel Hinckley I, who emigrated from England in March 1635. He first settled in Scituate, Mass., where he continued to reside until 1639, when he, and the greater portion of Minister Lathrop's congregatio...

Trucks Gone Wild UpState NY
July 2017, Poland NY in Herkimer County @ Maximum Power Park
I was privileged to be part of the Mercy Flight Central team that day as we were on standby for the Free Style Event at the Trucks Gone Wild event. I had never been to one of these events before, only seeing them on YouTube prior.
Mercy Flight was part of the large EMS crew at this event and luck actually flew a patient out during the weekend. We got to ride around the event on a Polaris Ranger type UTV and keep our eyes out for people that may need help.
It was really fun!

A Trip from Poland, NY to Historic Pardee Ville

The trip continued on Military Rd. turning onto Grant Rd. and then taking a right onto Pardeeville Rd. Our journey ends at what was known as Pardee Ville and now known as Pardeeville Corners (intersection of Pardeeville Rd. and Black Creek Rd.). Pardeeville Rd. continues onto the four-corners in Grant, NY.
The Pardee family were Huguenots from Normandy, France. Driven from their homes because of religious persecution from the Catholic majority in the 16th and early 17th century moved to England. The first recorded birth of a Pardee is in England in 1629.[1] The name itself derived from the French oath par Dieu Anglicized to Parde, Pardy, Pardie, to Pardieu and finally Pardee [2] Pardieu originates in New Hartford, Connecticut in 1840 according to Ancestry.com. New York State has the highest population of Pardee families in the United States with 46 Pardee families living there.[3]
The Pardees moved to Herkimer County, NY in 1806 from West Haven, Conn. and resided in the town of Russia for a number of generations. Family members are buried in Century Cemetery in Russia, NY since the 1830’s and the Gravesville Cemetery since the 1850’s.[4] Additionally, there are records of Pardees living in the Pardee Ville area with family members being interred in the Pardeeville Cemetery as recent as 1920.[5] It is known that the Pardees were recognized for being tanners, leatherworkers, and shoemakers.[6] and from the 1859 map we know that Pardee Ville had a sawmill and a large tannery.[7] It is possible that this location was known because the Pardee family owned the sawmill and the tannery. This is all supposition of course but this could be why the location was Pardee’s Ville or Pardee Ville.
The tannery ruins seem fairly large. One of the largest buildings was at least one hundred feet long and 50 to 75 feet wide. Overall, there would have been at least a half-dozen buildings in the complex not to mention numerous waterways and water runs. Buildings would have included bark sheds, leach houses, vat rooms and drying buildings along with splitting and finishing buildings. Tanning always needed three important ingredients, bark, water, and hides. The bark needed be ground to a dust to make tanning “liquor.” As for the skins, they would need be soaked in a lime-water solution to help in hair removal and to soften dry hides. The other method called “sweating” would allow the skins in vats of water to partially decompose to help in hair removal. The complex would have been large. [8] The overall process was time consuming and if you weren’t farming around Pardee Ville you most likely worked in the tannery or the sawmill across the creek. Interestingly, there aren’t any tanneries on the 1859 map in Russia or Gravesville. Probably because of industrial smell of smoke, the smell of raw hides stacked around, sweating (partially rotting) these hides continually and washing, cutting and finishing them were found to be unsuited for populated areas.
The 1859 map previously mentioned shows eight family homes, along with the sawmill and tannery on Black Creek. The family names of the hamlet included Miller, Maurer, McIntosh, Menlzner, Fitzwilliam and two families of Lookers. Other nearby families, within a ¼ mile of the corners, included Campbell, Stafford, and two families of Blue.[9]

The Ruins of Hinckley, NY
Hinckley, New York is located next to Hinckley Lake. Originally dammed up to supply water to the Erie Canal and completed in 1915. The lake provides municipal water supply to 130,000 people in the greater Utica, New York. [1] Creation of the lake required the elimination of 209 buildings, making up parts of three villages, and it flooded seven miles of highways. [2]
Elijah Hinckley, born March 25, 1765, and Gardner Hinckley I, born October 19, 1766, were sons of Samuel Hinckley V and his wife, Mary Vincent Hinckley (born in Pomfret, Conn). They descended from Samuel Hinckley I, who emigrated from England in March 1635. He first settled in Scituate, Mass., where he continued to reside until 1639, when he, and the greater portion of Minister Lathrop's congregation, moved to Barnstable, Cape Cod, within the limits of Plymouth Colony. [3]
The two brothers, Elijah and Gardner, were trained in the tile carpenter's trade and came to Russia, NY then a part of Norway, to what was then called " Kingsland," a part of ' The Royal Grant," around 1796. Convention says that they brought axes with them on their journey to help clear the way through the forest. On October 8, 1796, Elijah Hinckley and Elisha Pool bought 400 acres of land of John Pettit, near what is now the village of Gravesville, paying therefore 307£. Soon after Gardner Hinckley bought out the interest of Mr. Pool in the land, and it was divided between the two brothers, each receiving about 200 acres. These farms are now in the possession of some of the descendants of Elijah Hinckley and are still known as the Hinckley farms. [4]
Gardner Hinckley II left the farm and became agent and business manager for A. K. Morehouse, who owned large tracts of forest land in the counties of Herkimer and Hamilton, and from 1838 to 1840 he lived for about a year at Piseco Lake, in Hamilton county. For the pure air, pure water and charming scenery of the Adirondack region he had an enthusiastic fondness, and he was confident that the time would come when its esthetic and sanitary advantages would be appreciated. [5]
In 1840 Gardner Hinckley II moved to Wilmurt and built a sawmill and planing-mill on the West Canada Creek near Hinckley bridge. Much of the lumber made there was carted to Utica or to Herkimer, over thirty miles. He lived in Wilmurt until 1854, when he moved to the place now called Hinckley. He was supervisor of Wilmurt for several terms and he held other town offices. He was a member of the State Legislature in 1853-1854. [6]
About 1848, in partnership with Theodore P. Ballon, of Utica, Hinckley built a gang sawmill, & planing-mill, run by waterpower, on the West Canada Creek, in what is now the village of Hinckley (so named in 1891 in his memory), continuing in the lumber business until his death. This mill, which was known through all the region as the Gang Mill, had at the time when it was built the largest capacity of any waterpower mill in that part of the State, being able to saw about five million feet of spruce lumber in a year without running nights. In 1848 there was no railroad nearer than Utica. [7]

July 2017, Poland NY in Herkimer County @ Maximum Power Park
I was privileged to be part of the Mercy Flight Central team that day as we were on standby for the Free Style Event at the Trucks Gone Wild event. I had never been to one of these events before, only seeing them on YouTube prior.
Mercy Flight was part of the large EMS crew at this event and luck actually flew a patient out during the weekend. We got to ride around the event on a Polaris Ranger type UTV and keep our eyes out for people that may need help.
It was really fun!
