Ephraim Webster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first white settler in the central New York area around modern Syracuse, New York, Ephraim Webster, an interpreter of the Haudenosaunee (Onondaga (tribe) language, married a local Native American woman and was given permission to build a home (1786) in what became the hamlet of Onondaga Hollow on future Seneca Turnpike, south of the present center of Syracuse. Webster's cabin was situated west of the pond on modern Velley Drive, near an old Onondaga north-south trail. Webster also obtained consent for Asa Danforth and Comfort Tyler to settle in Onondaga Hollow (1788).
