We have a mystery and need help

By -

 
If you attended Lindley's 225th Birthday Party in September, you may have seen the owner with this cane. Apparently, it was made for the 1876 Centennial Celebration and contains local names which are listed below. It has been handed down in the Lindsley family but the history is not known.  Another Lindsley relative has been doing research and has compiled the list below.
 I am hoping one of the blog followers may have more  information about the names on the cane and the story that goes with it. Any feed back will be appreciated .
Please send any information or ideas to townoflindleyhistorian@gmail.com

Tip from Kitty:
I took a second look at Lawrenceville History –2006.   Not much on 1800’s but I did find some of these names were connected to business and that the IOOF was organized  July 14,1875.

A Brief History of Corning ,N.Y. Northside High School

                                                                         For Sale in 2014      The last blog posting shows the  postcard of a Northside High School. A former Lindley resident was curious as to the date. Using the Internet ,  he found a copy of the postcard dated 1905.  After a discussion about the  age of the  Northside  High School that has been in  recent  Corning Leader news articles, he located a September 14,1927 article  on the Fulton  Archival Newspaper website  that said the new high school had opened .  Corresponding with him  about the date and other information regarding the school had  piqued my curiosity .        Knowing that so many Lindley residents had attended  a Corning Northside High School or  had a connection with it,  I decided to research the history of the schools. As  Town Lindley Historian , I had provided Ian Mackenzie with information about the Lindley one room schools when he was writing his book  -" Th

20 October 2012 – Bath NY Delivered by Timothy F. Taylor, at his great x 4 grandfather’s, Brigadier General John Taylor, memorial service.   Impact of research – formation of team, re-establishment of ties to lost branches of the family. One of the first documents that the team discovered was a note in the Bath Historian’s office detailing some of the History of General John Taylor and his family.   In that note it states that John Taylor started as a private in the Militia.   Although we have not found any of his Militia Records prior to 1775, we have found that on October 28 th of 1775 he was promoted to 2 nd Major of the 4 th Hunterdon Regiment of the New Jersey Militia. Revolutionary War Pension Applications detail some of his unit’s accomplishments, one of which tells of a detail from Major John Taylor’s command that was sent to patrol the Delaware River in December of 1776.   That detail was under the command of Lt. Daniel Bray and they collected boats and too
