1895 Map of Madison
The towns of Hamilton, Brookfield and Cazenovia were formed in 1795.
Peterboro was named for Peter Smith. Peterboro was a haven for abolitionists. Peter and his son Gerrit sold over 100,000 acres of land in New York and surrounding states.
Gerrit financed John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry. According to his later writings, he didn't know what the money would be used for, he was simply showing support for his friend as he had in the past. He also wrote that he had committed himself to the Utica Insane Asylum because he was upset over what had occurred. Some think he did this to avoid prosecution for treason!
