According to Turner's History of the Holland Purchase, the first contracts for land in Belfast were issued in 1804 to Benjamin Chamberlain, Calvin T. Chamberlain, Jedediah Nobles, Elisha Chamberlain, William Pinkerton, Marvin Harding, Isaac Sanford and Abraham D. Hendern. It is probable that some of these men made their advent in the town at an earlier date, as it is stated in French's Gazetteer of the State of New York that "the first settlement was made on Genesee river, in 1803, by Benjamin, Elisha, Calvin and David Chamberlain, brothers, from Pennsylvania. It is not likely that all those mentioned above as having taken contracts for land in 1804 remained in the town for the protracted period; but some of them were residents during the remainder of their lives, and their children and grandchildren are in the enjoyment of the fruits of their toil. Among these are the descendants of some of the Chamberlains. Elisha Chamberlain had a son named Henry who married Hannah Reynolds the daughter of another early settler.
The first saw-mill and grist-mill have been referred to. Samuel King and Martin Butts kept the first store, on lot number 12, near the J. H. Chamberlain place, in 1824. The first tavern was kept near the village, three years earlier, by Joseph S. Raymond.
SIMON SNYDER CHAMBERLAIN was born in Belfast, Allegany county, New York, in 1804, a son of Calvin and Isabel (Ives ) Chamberlain, and was reared there and in the Cowanesque Valley. His father was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1771, the third son of Simon Chamberlain, one of three brothers who came from England to Roxbury, where he married a Miss Dodge and reared a family of four sons and five daughters. His mother was a daughter of Ambrose Ives , and a sister of Timothy, Titus and Benajah Ives , early settlers of Tioga. To Calvin and Isabel Chamberlain were born four children, viz: Chandler, Simon S., Ives and Deborah. The father came to the Cowanesque Valley early in the century and spent the remaining years of his life in this part of the state, and New York state, dying in Middlebury township, at the home of his son, font
