Adrial Simons, who held on right in the Susquehanna Company's township of Ulster, came on from Connecticut (probably Brandon) in 1785, about the same time as Capt. Clark, and occupied his claim, the farm now owned by Mr. VanDyke and Adolphus Watkins.

He had served in the Revolutionary War from 1777 to 1780 and was taken prisoner by the British in one of the battles fought in the vicinity of New York. For a long time he was confined in one of the prison ship on Long Island sound, where he suffered untold hardships from confinement, hunger, cold and filth, which gave those floating dens such an unenviable notoriety.

He married Sarah, sister of Chester and Ozias Bingham. She and three children died of fever in the summer of 1803. Of the large family "Septer" who died November 20, 1798 aged 15 years, has the oldest marked grave in Ulster cemetery. Other children remembered were Adrial, Elijah, Anson, Bingham, George and Jeduthan. Mr. Simons died, 1829, aged 73 years.

He was described as a fine old gentleman, hard working, frugal and kind to the poor. Capt. Simons raised a large family. Four of his sons Elijah, Anson, Bingham and George went to the state of Ohio. Jeduthan died in Ulster.
