Samuel Scribner Jr. and Thomas Leland II were pioneers in Schroon Lake, NY, arriving there about 1795. They were listed as among the first settlers. Their children, John Scribner and Silence Leland, were listed in J.H. French's Gazeteer of NY in 1860 as the first marriage in Schroon. The date was not given, much to my chagrin, for I've been looking for it for quite some time. I think it was about 1804. The Scribners and Lelands moved on westward, but Thomas Leland III stayed in Schroon Lake and the Leland family became one of the best known in the area for the next 100 years or so.
