The Indian name for the area of the town of Deerpark was spelled many ways. The most definitive spelling is apparently that of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society--Machackemeck.

Notes from Wayne L. Shepard wshep1@infi.net on 2/3/01
Notes for Benjamin Depuy, Jr.:
Date and place of birth obtained from pension file. Some of these documents state that Benjamin lived at amakating until 1793 with the exception of a few months during the War. He moved his family to Aurelius, Cayuga Co., NY, in 1793, then Marcellus, Onondaga Co., in 1802, and finally, Lysander by 1804. One affidavit mentions that he
lived in the Town of Salina in 1834.
Census data would seem to indicate that there were 15 children; Depuy Family History lists 16 - 4 might have died young.

What had the numerous hardy and energetic pioneers accomplished in the first quarter of the century? First and, perhaps, most important of all, many of them who settled on farms, cleared and cultivated their lands, improved their dwellings and other buildings and laid the foundations of the many beautiful homes that now belong to their posterity. Others built mills, especially saw mills, which sprang up in great numbers on the Seneca and a few on the small streams of the town. They were of great importance until the forests were largely cleared away, when most of them fell into disuse. Others engaged in trade, bringing their goods in early years from the east on long journeys by the well known water route, or in the winter by teams, and marketing such surplus products as the farmers could spare. And all labored to promote the general welfare.
At the first town meeting of which there are existing records, held on the first Tuesday in April, 1808, Cyrus Baldwin, moderator, the following officers were chosen:
Elijah Snow, supervisor; James Adams, town clerk; Henry Emerick, William Wilson, and James Clark, assessors; Thomas Clark, collector; Adam Emerick and Reuben Clark, poormasters; Job Loumis (the spelling found in the records is followed, thought it is palpably wrong in some instances), Abner Vickery, Adam Emerie, commissioners of highways; Fry Ferington, Thomas Clark, constables; William Wilson, Silas Scofield, Benjamin De Puy, fence viewers and poundmasters; Parmenis Adams, 1st ward, Adam Emerick, 2d war, Thomas Farington, 3d ward, Reuben Clark, 4th ward, Abner Vickery, 5th ward, William Wilson, 6th ward, Job Loumis, 7th ward, Alexander Adams, 8th ward, overseers of highways; Adam Emerie, Cyrus Baldwin, commissioners of public lots.
