OLIVER CULVER (1778-1867): A ROCHESTER PIONEER
by Warren Kling
Oliver Culver was one of the earliest and most interesting pioneers of Monroe County, contributing to its growth and developer, in many ways. He was born in East Windsor, Connecticut on September 24 , 1778. When he was five, his family moved to Orwell, Vermont and later to Ticonderoga, New York.
In 1796 at age 18, he started west on foot to work with his friend, Sam Spafford, and Sam's father, Amos, on a surveying job in Cleveland, Ohio. They were delayed in Schenectady having to wait more th an a month for a boat to carry them west on Lake Ontario. Too restless to sit around, Oliver hiked as far west as Irondequoit Bay, arriving at the Indian Landing on Irondequoit Creek in March 1796. There, he hunted and fished, and his only human contact was with a family of squatters headed by Asa Dunbar.

Author: [history2@rochester.rr.com]
Media: Book
Text: Asa Dunbar was a settler on Irondequoit Creek, not Irondequoit Bay, and he was not in the town of Webster. Webster wasn't created until 1840 from the northern part of the town of Penfield. Asa was i
n the town of Brighton on the west side of the Creek. He was not in the town of Irondequoit, as some sources cite, because that town wasn't formed until 1839. Irondequoit Bay, which leads from Lake Ontario becomes Irondequoit Creek as it narrows and approaches the Irondequoit Landing (also called Gerundegat Landing in early accounts).
