Hop Bottom (Foster) - The first annual reunion of the descendants of Major Seth Bisbee was held near Foster on Saturday, September 2nd. The ancestors and parents of Major Seth Bisbee were of Puritan stock; his mother was Jane Bradford, a descendent of William Bradford, who came over in the Mayflower in 1620 and was one of the signers of the Famous Compact on board the Mayflower. And in 1621, on the death of John Carver, was elected Governor of the Colony. Seth Bisbee commenced the study of law in the office of his brother, Noah, in Boston. But at the call for troops in the war of 1812, they both enlisted. Noah was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, near Niagara Falls, in Canada, and Seth was wounded. Noah, 3rd son of Major Seth Bisbee, served his country in two wars. In 1846 he enlisted and served under Gen. Zachary Taylor during the campaign which closed with the battle of Buena Vista. In the Civil War he was wounded and lost a leg at the battle of Antietam. Martin V. Bisbee, of Montrose, a veteran of the Civil War, and his sister, Mrs. Hannah Bisbee Howe, of Great Bend, are all that remain of the children of Major Seth Bisbee.
