Notes:

1897 Tioga County, PA History, Chapter 27, Elkland BoroughSchools-The early schools in Elkland, as in other places throughout the county, were supported by subscription, and until the building of the first school house in 1827, were taught in any house that could be secured for the purpose. The year when the first school was opened has not been ascertained, but it was probably as early as 1814 or 1816. Among the first teachers were Henry Womer, Miss Mary Ryon and Harriet B. Wright. Miss Wright, who afterwards became the wife of Ira Bulkley, taught a term of thirteen weeks beginning June 14, 1824, in an old log dwelling house "located where C. L. Pattison now resides." She had eighteen pupils—eight boys and ten girls. They were John, Amariah and Hannah (wife of George L. Byon) Hammond; Esther Wright (second wife of Ira Bulkley); Elizabeth Cook (wife of Orsemus Rathbone); Willis and Nancy (wife of Brockhurst L. Baker) Hammond; George L. and Harris T. Ryon; Benson, Elizabeth and Charles Tubbs; Maria Coates (wife of Lorenzo Cook); Edward, Charlotte and Hester Buck; Phebe Mascho, who died young, and her brother Charles; and a girl named Rifle, who lived in the family of John Ryon, Sr. Miss Wright’s pay for teaching was "calculated at one dollar per week, or one bushel of good merchantable wheat." In 1892 her sister Esther, one of her pupils, who became the second wife of Ira Bulkley, dictated for publication an article which appeared in the Elkland Journal.

Notes:

Cyprian and his wife, Esther, left Swanzey, NH for Pennsylvania and bought land from Mark Wilcox in the township of Delmar, Tioga County, PA on 1 September, 1808 as recorded in the land transactions of the county of Tioga, P. 2 and 5. They probably were accompanied by others from NH when they migrated west.

Cyprian, died at the age of 69 years, 5 months and 28 days. He and his wife, Esther Belding Wright are buried in one of the oldest cemeteries, except for the Indian burials, in Tioga County, PA. The Carpenter Cemetery is on the Loren Carpenter Farm about half mile east of Academy Corners in Deerfield. The cemetery is also called Academy Corners Cemetery.
