[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] From 1812 to 1S32 a consider-able number of steamboats ran from New York to Sing Sing and places above. Among these were the " Mountain Mouse," the " Ariel," the " < Jeneral Jack-son," the "Cinderella," the " Water Witch" and the " Westchester." Captain Haft", of Scarborough, built and ran a horse ferry-boat from Sing Sing to Rockland and Haverstraw over sixty years ago. A succession of market sloops have done the traffic of this vicinity since l^SU, at which time the" General Washington " was run by Captain Isaac Woolsev, and the "Amelia" by Captain Solomon Acker. About the same time Captain William Buckhout ran the "Volunteer" four years. Captain Isaac C. Smith sailed the " Volunteer" for twenty-three years. Captain.1. W. Jenks began his transportation busi-ness in 1837 or 1S3X. with tin-market sloop "Fannie." lie afterwards ran the sloop "Sea Gull" and the pro-peller "On." He died in 1862, and was succeeded by his three sons, who have kept up a propeller line OSSINING. 363 to the present time, having owned the " Eureka " and the "Leader," until succeeded hy the "Sarah Jenks." The transportation business was about equally di-vided between Sparta and Sing Sing near the year 1820, at which time Captain Stephen Orser and Cap-tain John Leggett sailed sloops from Sparta. Through some difference in the rental of docks, Captain Leg-gett changed his sailing-place to Sing Sing, and this little circumstance turned the tide of business to the latter place.
