man Orellana Beebe‏‎
Born ‎ Mar 30, 1770 at Waterbury, New Haven, CT---see notes, died ‎ Feb 25, 1863 at Taylor, Cortland, NY‎, 92 years
Orellana moved from New Haven, CT in 1796 and located on lot 7, in Solon, Cortland,NY where he remained two years and then removed to Taylor and located on lot 100. The early pioneers were frequently sujected to great hardships from scarcity of provisions, and the uncertainty of procuring them even by making long journeys. During one of the seasons of scarcity, Orellana and his son Cokely went to Genoa, Cayuga County to purchase wheat, which he afterwards had ground at Esquire Bradley's mill. The next spring being equally in want, and not wishing to spend the time to go himself, asked his son, then only ten years old, if he could go and get some grain or flour. "I can try," was the boys reply, and forthwtih preparations were made and at an early hour in the morning he was on his way. He took with him three bags each containing eight pound each of maple sugar, with which to pay for the wheat, at the rate of eight pounds a bushel. His only guide through the dense forest was marked trees. He reached his destination at night and inquired of Mr. Bradley if he could let him have the grain. On receiving a negative reply, the boy burst into tears, but was quieted by Mr. Bradley that he would give him the value of his sugar in flour, and keep him and his horse over night free of charge. Early the next morning the boy set out for home. When he reached Judge Bingham's house at the salt road, it was nearly dark, and the Judge persuaded him to stay over as it would be impossible for him to find his way marked by trees. About ten o'clock the next morning he arrived at home greatly pleased with his trip. [from a Special Edition of the Cortland Genealogical Society on Taylor, NY.] In the article, Cokely's name is given as "Koakland" which is believed to be wrong.
