In 1871, the towns were authorized to elect a game constable as provided by Chapter 721 of the State laws of that year. Reuben Howard became the first such officer at Long Lake in 1873, with the hermit, Alvah Dunning, holding sway in 1878, marking one of the few official positions he was ever to hold. The other towns responded similarly, though none were able to appoint a woodsman of equal renown. page 174

Eli Gionett and Arthur Ryan joined the Field Artillery , and Zibi LaBerty, the Army Engineers. Leon Duane and Harper Silliman were early in the Infantry. Frank Little, Robert Dunning, Jr., and Harry S. Payne enlisted for Army duty in the early years of their country's conflict. page 226

TOWN OF ARIETTA
It now became Rensselaer Van Rensselaer's turn to work for development of the region. The fruits of his efforts were shown when on May 14, 1836 the State Legislature directed that the Town of Lake Pleasant be divided to form a new town. It was named Arietta in honor of Van Rensselaer's mother. The first meeting was designated for the fourth Tuesday in May 1836 at the dwelling house of Amos Dunning at Rensselaer's Mills.
The first assessors chosen were Allen Murphy, Amos Dunning, and Nathan Satterlee.
The commissioners of highways were Shadrack Dunning, Abraham Satterlee and Robert A. Van Nest.
School commissioners were Amos Dunning, Amos Clunis and Josiah Housan, with inspectors of schools designated as Reba Dibble, Allen Murphy and Emanuel Housan. David S. Fountain, who had settled from the Town of Wells, was elected constable and collector, and Michael Dunning, constable. Rensselaer Van Rensselaer was to remain but briefly in office and as resident of the town. On October 27, 1836, eleven electors of the town met at the house of Robert A. Van Nest to choose his replacement. Amos Clunis was unanimously elected to the position of supervisor by James Billington, Reba Dibble, Amos Dunning, Michael Dunning, Shadrack Dunning, Allen Murphy, Timothy Plummer, Eli Rudes, Abraham Satterlee, Nathan Satterlee, and Robert A. Van Nest. page 295

TOWN OF ARIETTA
Amos Dunning and Grosvenor Davis were carpenters. Alvah Dunning was engaged in hunting and fishing. Sportsmen had already begun to come in scattered numbers to the Adirondacks and the Piseco area was not spared. Most notable of the arrivals was a group of men from Troy, New York City, and Medford, Mass., who traveled on William Brundage's stage to stay at Daniel Rude's boarding house at the present Higgins Bay - place they delighted to call Walton Hall. It was too early and there were too few sportsmen at hand to permit one to dignify himself as yet by the name of "guide." Yet members of the community contributed their services in leading the sportsmen to fish and game. Among them were Amos, Alvah and Michael Dunning, Floyd F. Lobb, old Eli, Daniel and Henry Rudes, and John Nichols.
In 1849, they met the "bright-eyed school mistress, Miss Carnrack" and enjoyed a party with the Courtneys, Carnracks, Basses, Youmans, Rickers, and Dunnings, among the guests. Music was provided by the violin of Cobb and the flute of Fenner....... Yet members of the community contributed their services in leading the sportsmen to fish and game.

..The tannery at Rudeston, called "Silver Lake Tannery,"was acquired on August 12, 1881....The location was in Lot 157 and included the five-acre mill lot on which Amos Dunning, Ephraim Phillips and Henry Scidmore had operated a sawmill and shingle-making machine in the 1850's. On April 10, 1856, Amos Dunning had sold his equal undivided hald part of the porperty to Thankful Scidmore, wife of Henry Scidmore and daughter of Ephraim Phillips........ Page 320

THE TOWN OF GILMAN
The affairs of the town could often be lively. On March 11, 1843, Benjamin Holcomb reported the results of local elections to A. K. Morehouse. Luther Brown had been elected supervisor for the Town of Gilman and David Dunning, town clerk "and a terrible muss," the writer added. "Much difficulty was experienced in Arietta" (where Zadok Bass was the newly elected supervisor, and William D. Jones, town clerk) "and Gilman, and probably there is trouble ahead."
There were eighteen fan1ilies in the Town of Gilman in 1850 and thirty-two employable males. Twenty-one were farmers. Of the others, David Dunning, 56, who ran a sawmill on Dunning Pond, William Burnham, 36, who ran the sawmill at the headwaters of the Sacandaga River below Lake Pleasant, and Elias P. Gilman, 53, were engaged in lumbering. James R. Betts, 22, Nelson Buyce, 22, and David Fish, 23, were sawyers. Calvin Dunning, 18, was teamster for the lumber camps. Matthew Deforce, now 85, was the blacksmith. Franklin Couch, 46, from Massachusetts, a prospector, gave his occupation as mining. Isaiah Cannon, 39, living across the town line on East Road, was Christian clergyman for the area. William Taylor, 62, from England, had no occupation. page 386

later to be known as Hope Valley. Here the community of Hope, with its Hope post office, was later to be located. Issachar Robinson, Peter Wager, Asa Deville, Jacob Houck, John Groff and Elisha Wright settled about 1791-'92 near the later Hope Center. page 390
*********
It was about this time that the hermit, Alvah Dunning, having left Piseco Lake to settle at Lewey Lake, finally migrated to Blue Mountain Lake. Ned hired him as guide. The two men, so different in characteristics, never got along. The final quarrel came over the killing of game. Ned Buntline, well able to buy all the supplies he needed, championed the few game laws then existing. Alvah Dunning, without money and subsisting by his rod and gun, claimed the right to take fish and game whenever he was hungry. At last, the two parted, each threatening to shoot the other on sight. page 470

TOWN OF LAKE PLEASANT
Toles and Mary Satterlee sold their store on December 4, 1884 to Reuben Willard. Reuben and Sally Willard sold it on November 4, 1885 to Edgar Dunning. Dave Henry Abrams rented the store from Dunning for a time, then built a store across the street at the southwest corner of the crossroads. Edgar and Anna Dunning sold the old store to Orrin Dunning on September 1, 1888 and on March 25, 1889, Orrin Dunning conveyed to Deborah Parslow, wife of Fitch Buyce. She, in turn, conveyed to her son, Allie Buyce.
By 1892, there were fu11y six hotels, inns or boarding houses in Speculator alone. In 1888, Edgar Dunning had built a large three-story building, later known as the Adirondack Hotel, just below the corners on the east side of the road. Just below this hotel was a boarding house. page 655

operated by Alonzo R, Wilber. Down on the lake shore below the outlet was a hotel run by Martin Kelly. In the same general area. Willett Lawrence ran an inn. Orrin Dunning also Operated a hotel in the area. Nevertheless, the well established Sturges House remained the leading hotel in the village. page 656
*********
The school district at the western end of the town was originally shared with the Town of Arietta, and was known as District 6. On October 13, 1848, William and Betsey Ann Schuyler transferred 2,400 square feet of land for one dollar to Alvah Dunning, Michael Dunning, and William Schuyler, trustees of joint School District 6, "a part of said district lying in the Town of Lake Pleasant, and the other in the Town of Arietta."........ Jessie Dunning, daughter of Amos Dunning, was an early teacher at the Airdville school. page 666 & 667
*********
Class No.1 was at Lake Pleasant Village, its members being residents of that general area. The roster listed: Nelson and Jane Aird Estey, and Nelson's mother, Sally Courtney Estey; Lydia Randall, wife of William, and Alwilda M. Randall; Elizabeth Milson, wife of George Milson; Paul A. and Adeline Dunning Nichols; Elizabeth Fish Nichols, wife of Willis, and her daughter, Mary; Joseph Franklin Nichols and his wife, Alinda; Adeline Fish, wife of Joseph Fish; Louisa Fry, wife of Co. Clerk William H. Fry; George and Deliverance Fish Courtney; and Patrick McCarty, the Irish-born Canadian, who had but recently moved to town.
In 1876, a new class was formed on Page Street. Its members were Jemina Deforce Dunning, 73, widow of David Dunning; Elizabeth Wilber, 29, wife of Alonzo Wilber; Nathan and Samantha Dunning Slack, he 69 and she, 65, and their son, Lyman, 24, daughter-in-law, Sophronia, 43, wife of Edward Slack; and Ella Slack; Jane Ann Page, 58, wife of Amos Page; and Lillian Page, 16, daughter of William Page; Mila Inez Wilber; and Emily Page Satterlee, 34, wife of David. page 672*********
TOWN OF LAKE PLEASANT
Lewey Lake gained other residents within the next few years. In 1860, the renowned hermit, Alvah Dunning, left his wife and home at Piseco Lake and took to the woods. Alvah first settled at Lewey Lake, building a camp to which he guided fishing and hunting parties for several years. Then the hermit moved to the Eagle's Nest vicinity beyond Blue Mountain Lake
The lumbermen had gained most of the land around Lewey Lake in the early 1870's. Then it was that William Ferguson, the blacksmith, a native of Glens Falls who had been living since about 1848 at Long Lake, came to live in Alvah Dunning's old camp while attending to horseshoeing. Phebe Stevens, 57, was his housekeeper and it is assumed that the house was open to lumbermen who required lodging. page 725*********
TOWN OF LONG LAKE
Then in 1865 arrived Alvah Dunning, woodsman supreme, who had left his home at Piseco five years earlier after a violent disagreement with a wife he accused of being unfaithful. Intent on the life of a hermit, he had gone first to Lewey Lake in the northern part of the Town of Lake Pleasant, building a hunter's cabin there. Then he had moved to Blue Mountain Lake and became engaged in a serious battle with the writer, Ned Buntline, who was then living at Eagle's Nest. Now it was time to withdraw from any semblance of civilization and Alvah had selected the wilds of Raquette Lake. It was just one year before "Adirondack" Murray began frequenting the locality during summers. Alvah later told that, at the time of his arrival, Mike McGuire and Bill Nash were at hand, making a living by providing deer and trout to the fashionable hotels at Saratoga Springs. page 789

Meanwhile, a record of "the marks in the town of Wells' through 1815 listed the identification that was to be used by each farmer for his cattle and sheep:
"Amos Dunning--a crop off both ears and a slit in the right.
Shadrack Dunning--a hole in both ears. page 908*********
Concerned in the transactions involving the property was Leonard Copeland, who was then operating the Copeland Mills on the Sacandaga River opposite the mouth of Dunning Creek-originally a part of the Stimson property. By February 7, 1854, Azariah E. Stimson had reacquired much of the original property.
It was about this time that David Dunning began operation of his mill on Dunning Pond above Gilmantown off the lake road. Joseph Spier had originally owned the property, acquiring it on December 8, 1827 from John Woodworth. On October 1, 1835, Spier contracted to sell the land to Dunning. Before the transaction could be consummated, Joseph Spier died. On October 1, 1854, his heirs, Joseph F. Spier, William E. Spier and Richard P. Spier, sold the property to David Dunning for $300.
On June 21, 1871, it was sold to Silas Call in an exchange involving land at the four corners at Newton's Corners, acquired by Dunning. page 968*********

I also have a picture of Henry Dunning with a large deer hanging from a tree in front of his camp known as the "Ruff" Camp on the west side of Piseco Lake near Point Comfort taken about 1920, according to writing on the back of the picture**********
NOTE: There are some discrepancies with Henry Dunning, there may have been more than one person named Henry Dunning. In the book "History of Hamilton County" there is a Henry E. Dunning, apparently born about 1868 and a Henry Dunning, apparently born about 1857. both listed as guides at Arietta, NY and Henry E. a Town Clerk in 1878, at the age of 20.
According to other Dunning family (including Theophilus Dunning) information Henry E. Dunning's mother was Anna eliza Plummer. However, Anna Eliza Plummer was Amos's Dunning first wife and died sometime in the 1840's (Amos married his second wife, Angelina Carnrike, before 1850) so she could not have given Henry an 1880 bible.
Amos and Angelina moved to Onondaga Valley in the late 1800's and Angelina could have given the Bible to Henry, however according to other family records, she was not Henry E.s' natural mother.

.... Mel Slack, born in 1873, used to attend school in the little one-room schoolhouse, located just across the road from Clifford Slack's house. Elizabeth Dunning Wilber, wife of Alonzo Wilber, was the teacher, he told. Born in 1843, she used to live in the house by the post office in Newton's Corners. Everyone walked to school and Mrs. Wilber was so big and elderly that the students would walk ahead and scuff a path for her through the snow. She always kept her son, Lon Wilber, by her side to help her up the hills. Page 666
