The Murdock Family of Venice Center, Cayuga County, New York (continued)
Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock
Lyman Murdock's Youth
Lyman Murdock, the youngest son of Joshua Murdock and Eunice Moore, was born at present-day Venice Center on 8 August 1804 (1) (2), and there he was raised. These were very much pioneer times in the history of Southern Cayuga County when fields were wrested from forests, and business enterprises were in their infancy. Lyman must have shown early maturity, industry, and judgment for he is said to have assumed management of his father's large farm at the age of 16.
Lyman, his [Joshua Murdock's] son, has been largely interested in the growth and prosperity of Venice Center, where his father was the first settler, and prominently identified with its material interests and enterprises. In 1820, at the age of sixteen, he took the management of the farm. In 1821, he, in company with his neighbors, the Fishes, built a saw-mill on the site of the old one, on the southeast corner of the farm. September 5th, 1824, he married Clarinda, daughter of Captain Alanson Tracy [NOTE: Storke is incorrect on this point; Clarinda was the daughter of Squire Gilbert Tracy and Deborah Woodworth as shown by multiple sources - R. A. Post], of Scipio, and bought 150 acres of the old homestead farm, but continued to work the whole farm.

Clarinda W. Tracy's Family and Youth
Clarinda W. Tracy was the daughter of Squire Gilbert Tracy and Deborah Woodworth (3). Gilbert was born 7 January 1761 at Preston, New London Co., Connecticut (3). He reportedly served from 1777 until early January 1784 as a soldier with Connecticut state troops and with the Continental troops in several regiments of the Connecticut Line. This service was interspersed with several cruises on the privateer, "Marquis de La Fayette," under Captain Elisha Hinman, presumably in the capacity of a gunner or marine (4). Following the Revolution, Gilbert Tracy made his way from Connecticut to the Cayuga Indian Reservation on the east side of Cayuga Lake ca. 1789 where he leased land from the Indians (5).
Gilbert married Deborah Woodworth, daughter of Jonathan Woodworth and Mercy Parker, on 9 April 1791 at Ulysses, then part of Herkimer Co., New York, in the portion of the town that would later become Ithaca, Tompkins Co., New York. Gilbert and Deborah took up residence at Gilbert's cabin at or near present-day Levanna, Ledyard, Cayuga Co., New York until they were burned out with 12 other families in October 1791 by the High Sheriff of Herkimer County on orders of Governor Clinton in response to a complaint by a Cayuga chief (5) (6). Having become homeless with the approach of winter, the couple lived for several weeks in a crude shelter while Gilbert harvested his corn and then removed about 5 miles east to near present-day Scipioville, Scipio, Cayuga Co., New York. Deborah and Gilbert occupied a doorless, windowless, floorless, and chimneyless cabin that Henry Watkins had fortuitously completed before returning to Albany, Albany Co., New York to register his land. There they remained the winter, removing in March 1792 with their baby son, Durastus Tracy, several miles farther east to Salmon Creek in the vicinity of Bolt's Corners in Scipio where Gilbert obtained land with a log cabin, possibly of his own construction (5)
Clarinda W. Tracy was born 29 September 1803 in Scipio (7), presumably in her parent's cabin on Salmon Creek. She was the eighth child of an eventual 13 and third daughter of Gilbert Tracy and Deborah Woodworth. Little, if any record exists of Clarinda's youth. We can speculate that it was occupied with the household tasks of a pioneer family with many mouths to feed, carving a farm out of the forest. Clarinda's residence on Salmon Creek near Bolt's Corners likely was not more than 2 miles from the residence of Lyman Murdock in present-day Venice Center, Cayuga Co., New York. That they would know of each other was inevitable.
Clarinda married Lyman Murdock on 5 September 1824 (1), a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday. The location of the wedding is not known, but the Town of Venice had been taken off from Scipio the previous year, and the wedding does not appear in records of some early Scipio marriages so Venice is the likely location.
Gilbert married Deborah Woodworth, daughter of Jonathan Woodworth and Mercy Parker, on 9 April 1791 at Ulysses, then part of Herkimer Co., New York, in the portion of the town that would later become Ithaca, Tompkins Co., New York.

That they would know of each other was inevitable.
Clarinda married Lyman Murdock on 5 September 1824 (1), a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday. The location of the wedding is not known, but the Town of Venice had been taken off from Scipio the previous year, and the wedding does not appear in records of some early Scipio marriages so Venice is the likely location.
Lyman and Clarinda W. Murdock's Children
Lyman and Clarinda took up residence on the Murdock Homestead in what would become Venice Center following their marriage as noted in the quotation from Storke (1879) above. Their first child, a son, Evander Murdock (1), was born at Venice Center on 27 July 1825. Evander married Margaret Wood on 6 March 1856. They later removed west and resided at Cedar Falls, Black Hawk Co., Iowa. Evander died at Holly Hill, Volusia Co., Florida on 4 June 1884 (8).
Mary Ann Murdock (1) was the second child of Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock, born at Venice Center on 28 February 1828 according to one source (9); however, the Cayuga Co. NYGenWeb Cemetery List for Venice Center Cemetery gives an incomplete name and birth as 1827. Mary Ann married Stephen Van Rensselaer Howard on 24 February 1858. They lived at Guilderland, Albany Co., New York where Stephen died ca. December 1869. Afterward, Mary Ann lived with her daughters in her father's household at Venice Center, in her own household, and finally with a daughter near Scipio Center, Scipio, Cayuga Co., New York where Mary Ann died 17 October 1898.
Lyman T. Murdock (1) was the third or fourth (see next paragraph) child of Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock, born at Venice Center on 6 March 1833 (1) (8). Lyman T. Murdock married H. Eliza Hull on 18 January 1861. They resided at Venice Center where Lyman T. was involved in various businesses including farming, operating a grist mill, and dealing in phosphate (fertilizer). He also was a Justice of the Peace and served as Venice Town Supervisor. Lyman T. died 12 December 1893 (1).
Clarinda Racelia "Celia" Murdock (1) was either the third or fourth child of Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock. She was born at Venice Center, but the date of her birth is not certain. Celia's inscription on a Murdock monument in the Venice Center Cemetery shows her birth as 2 November 1834. This date conflicts with the birth date of her brother Eugene, who seems to have been born in December 1834. A published Murdock genealogy (9) gives Celia's birth as 2 December 1830, which seems consistent with her early census records but less so with later records. There also is a lack of clarity about Celia's middle name, which appears in census data as Lucelia and Rucella. A relative bore the name Racelia, perhaps indicative of Celia's actual middle name. Celia Murdock became an accomplished artist specializing in pastoral scenes and livestock. Celia studied in France, exhibited in several prestigious art venues, and was among locally recognized artists (10). After her untimely death on 15 November 1882 at the residence of Dr. Amanda Sanford in Auburn, Cayuga Co., New York, Celia's artistic recognition slowly faded from memory into obscurity. Several of her paintings, however, yet grace walls of homes and institutions including Wells College and the Howland Stone Store Museum (scroll down to Paintings).
Eugene B. Murdock (1) was born at Venice Center on 13 December 1834 (9), the fifth child of Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock. Eugene was unmarried, listed as a Farmer in several sources, and lived in his father's household. One source says that Eugene also was a Civil Engineer (9). His occupation was Surveyor in the 1865 census. He died 27 August 1865 as shown by his Death Notice in a local newspaper.
Marcus Wellington Murdock was the sixth and last child of Lyman and Clarinda Tracy Murdock. He was born at Venice Center 4 May 1837 on the Murdock Homestead (1) (8). The story of his life will be told in subsequent posts.

Lyman Murdock's Career at Venice Center
Mills, Taverns, and Store in Venice Center
As seen above, Lyman had already built a new sawmill with the Fish family before his marriage to Clarinda Tracy, purchased 150 acres of his father's holdings, and continued to operate the entirety of his father's holdings. Lyman's next enterprise was to open a public house at his residence.
In the fall of 1826, he built an addition to the homestead and commenced keeping a public house, in which also the town meetings and other elections were held and other town business transacted for many years. That building, which was the first tavern at Venice Center, forms the east end of the present tavern, and was moved to its present site, in 1835, when the addition was built. In 1834 he built a grist-mill on the site of the present one; and in 1835 he built a saw-mill adjacent to it. The same year (1835) he built the present tavern at Venice Center; and gave one acre of land to Philander Tracy, who built thereon that year, the first store in that village. From 1850, he has been connected pecuniarily and officially with railroad projects, which culminated in the establishment of the road which runs through the central part of the town.-- Elliot G. Storke, History of Cayuga County, New York 1789 - 1879 (Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY, D. Mason & Co., 1879), Internet Archive http://archive.org/, Town of Venice - Early Settlements; p. 435 https://archive.org/stream/historyofcayugac00stor#page/434/mode/2up
An 1859 map of Venice Center, then called Murdock's Corners, reveals the locations of Lyman Murdock's 1834 gristmill and 1835 sawmill. This map and others also show that the mills and mill pond were constructed some distance from Big Salmon Creek, with a millrace leading from a point upstream on Big Salmon Creek and discharging back to the Creek well downstream of present-day Poplar Ridge Road. The dirtwork required to create the pond and raceway alone would have required substantial investment and effort to say nothing of building two mills.
Storke's (1879) description is a bit unclear, but it appears that Lyman built the first tavern in Venice Center as an addition to the Murdock house in 1826. One of the meetings held in this addition occurred on 10 September 1831 in response to a notice by the Anti-Masonic republicans of the Town of Venice to chose Delegates to the County Convention. John A. Barber, David Avery, and Lansing Kendall comprised the Town Committee of the party. Then in 1835, Lyman built a standalone tavern, and the house addition was moved to be reused as part of the new tavern. The 1859 map of Murdock's Corners referenced above shows the 1835 tavern, by then called the Venice Center Hotel, located on the southwest corner of present-day State Route 34 and the Poplar Ridge Road, about where the Venice Town Office is now located.
Storke (1879) documents Philander Tracy receiving 1 acre of land from Lyman Murdock upon which Philander built the first store in Venice Center. Philander Tracy was Lyman's brother-in-law.
The Venice Center store would have a succession of proprietors over the years following its founding. Perhaps Philander Tracy found the business less than lucrative because he settled at Lowell, Kent Co., Michigan on 5 May 1836 (11). Nevertheless, again referring to the 1859 map referenced above, we can see that the store was located on the northwest corner of the intersection of present-day Route 34 and Poplar Ridge Road, nearly opposite the Murdock house, and was operated by D. Cannon in 1859.Storke's (1879) description is a bit unclear, but it appears that Lyman built the first tavern in Venice Center as an addition to the Murdock house in 1826.

The first merchant at Venice Center was Philander Tracy, who commenced business in 1835, and continued three years [NOTE: Another source shows that Philander removed to Lowell, Kent Co., MI in 1836 - R. A. Post].-- Elliot G. Storke, History of Cayuga County, New York 1789 - 1879 (Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY, D. Mason & Co., 1879), Internet Archive http://archive.org/, p. 438 https://archive.org/stream/historyofcayugac00stor#page/438/mode/2up
Politics
Lyman Murdock had some involvement of the politcs of the day. In 1831, Lyman may have been sympathetic to the cause of the Anti-Masonic party, if not an active member, as shown by the meeting at his tavern, referenced above. Since most members of the Anti-Masonic party eventually joined with the Whigs, it is not surprising that Lyman Murdock was named at the Whig Nominating County Convention, held at the Auburn House on 23 September 1843, as a Delegate representing the Town of Venice to convene with Delegates of other towns to select a Delegate to the National Convention.We do not hear of Lyman's direct involvement in politics again until August 1880 when he was among the Republican candidates competing in party caucuses to be named the Republican Nominee for Sheriff of Cayuga County. Lyman did not receive the nomination but was chosen with another competitor, Philip Martin, to graciously escort the Nominee, John Choate, to the convention platform, presumably for Choate's acceptance speech.
Agriculture
Lyman Murdock, operating a farm of about 250 acres, was prominent in agriculture in Southern Cayuga County. Despite the number of enterprises in which he had engaged, he listed his occupation as Farmer in each census. He was a member of the second Cayuga County Agricultural Society by 1845, if not from its formation in 1841. A newspaper story printed in June 1845 listed Lyman as a member of the Committee for Farm Implements during planning for the Cattle Show and Fair of the Agricultural Society to be held at Auburn, Cayuga Co., New York on the 8th and 9th of October of that year. Several years later, Lyman served on the Committee for Devon Cattle, Class No. 1, at the Annual Cattle Show and Fair on the 6th and 7th of October 1852. Committee members presumably did the requisite judging in addition to setting the class and award structures.The Moravia Agricultural Society was formed in 1858 and invited membership from all the towns of Southern Cayuga County. This caused the Society to be more generally known as the Southern Cayuga Agricultural Society, of which Lyman Murdock became a member and exhibitor at the Southern Cayuga Union Agricultural Fair in 1859.
As may be seen, Lyman raised Durham cattle of very good quality, and he garnered more prizes for his cattle at Sherwood the following year. His daughter, Clarinda Racelia "Celia" Murdock displayed one of her paintings of his oxen at this fair, the same painting now hanging at the Howland Stone Store Museum in Sherwood.SOUTHERN CAYUGA UNION AGRICULTURAL FAIR-1859.
