๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ was a Sabbatarian Christian who believed that the Lordโs Day was Saturday, not Sunday. He emigrated from England in the 17th century and settled in Massachusetts. His grandson from his second marriage, Bryant Cartwright, Sr., moved to Nantucket Island and later Rhode Island. Bryant Cartwrightโs descendants continued to move westward into New York State settling in the Albany area and in Allegany County. Cartwrights settled and farmed the land along East Valley Road in Andover and Alfred Townships, along Highway 19 in Scio and Amity Townships, and along Highways 275 and 17 in Genesee, Bolivar, Wirt, and Friendship Townships. Over time Cartwrights intermarried into local Allegany County families settling in all of the Countyโs Townships. Cartwright descendants lived in all fifty United States, in five Canadian Provinces, and in Australia. Cartwrights founded Cartwright, Wisconsin, now New Auburn and were among the earliest settlers of Salem, Oregon. The bookโs three Appendices pay tribute to the Cartwrights of Allen and Granger Townships, to the Hann Homestead in Andover where Hann family members intermarried with Cartwrights, and to Andoverโs Silk Mills where a number of Cartwright families worked. ๐ฆ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ: ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ป, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ, ๐๐ผ๐บ๐๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐, ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐ถ๐๐ต, ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป, ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ป, ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐, ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ, ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐ณ๐๐ถ๐, ๐๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ, ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐, ๐ฃ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฝ๐, ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ, ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐ฆ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ต, ๐ง๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐, ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ.
