Samantha MESNARD was born June 19, 1809. The Mesnards were very religious and successful. They would have been upstanding citizens and probably Masons. Smantha's maternal grandfather was at least the head of a lodge. His tavern still stands. When it was renovated secret doors were discovered that hid Masonic symbols marking the tavern as a Masonic building. Luther has a Masonic mark on his grave. I believe the Bakers were Masons and possibly so were the Everinghams.

information from research of historian J. Roy Dodge, 1991
"On May 27, 1830 Enoch Everingham, who had removed to the town of Manlius with one of his older brothers, returned to LaFayette. He purchased sixty acres, adjacent to his brother's old home, on lot #91. This was a mortgage foreclosure by decree of the Master of Chancery, Abijah Yelverton, against Frederick and Rufus Freeman. (Bk. UU P.51) Upon this acreage Enoch lived from 1830 and in the year 1844, or so it is said, built the large house still standing thereon. "
other research of Kevin Everingham of MI, 2013:
Tully Independent, March 22, 1973 ... "Mr & Mrs. Clay Smith, who moved into their new home on Alexander's Hill last summer managed to get electricity into their house on February 1st after seven months without it. Old Enoch Everingham, who has been dead these last ninety-five years, would have felt right at home but that is about all he would have recognized on the west side hill of his former farm where the Smith's new house stands."
