He was a farmer and merchant. They lived in North Colesville, N.Y., and in Tunnel, Broome Co., N.Y. They died in the latter place, she on Apr. 4, 1916, and he on Sept. 9, 1952. He had previously married Mary E. Webb, born in Greene, N.Y. in 1863, daughter of Henry Webb and Harriett Page. She died in Greene in January, 1886.

From History of Broome County: page 582
Springsteen, Gurley, p. o. East Windsor, born in Windsor in 1833; wife, Francis Vosbury, of Colesville, born in 1838, married in 1859, died in 1875 leaving five children: Addie, Lucy, Herbert, Althea and Burton; second wife, Susan Bresee, of Sanford, born in 1838, married in 1876, daughter of Henry and Susan Bresee. Parents, John and Martha (Smith) Springsteen, the former of Windsor, born in 1810, the latter of Canada, born in 1813, married in 1830; children nine, three now living. Mr. Springsteen is at present a farmer, and owns and occupies the old homestead of Richard Vosbury, purchased before 1800.

also page 584
Atwell, Edward, farmer, manufacturer and shipper of lumber, born in Windsor in 1827; wife, Hannah A. McClure, daughter of David and Hannah Springsteen McClure, born in 1832, married in 1849, children six: Delia A., Morris E., Edna A., Marvin W., Eliza H. and Benjamin B. Parents, Ammon and Appalina (Heath) Atwell, of Broome county, children seven, all living, the oldest 64, the youngest 44. Parents reside at Windsor. Grandparents, Paul and Abigail (Mail) Atwell, of Connecticut, the former was a Revolutionary soldier and a pensioner, children eight.

and on page 275
The Springsteen family settled in the town among the first, and certainly before 1790. Jacob Springsteen came from the Hudson river country, with his brother Hans, (John) and located near the Indian Fort which has been described, their lands extending from the river toward East Windsor, in the northern part of the town. Uriah Springsteen, son of Jacob had a son John, who was the father of Gurley Springsteen, living at the present time on the homestead of the Vosbury family, in the town of Colesville, he having married Frances Vosbury, daughter of Orsamus and Lucy Vosbury; the latter still living in Colesville. Eli and Abram Springsteen, now living in the northern part of the town, are descendants of Jacob and John Springsteen.

and more - p277
The preceding record of the pioneer settlements in the town embraces most of those of any special note prior to the beginning of the century, at which date the valleys had become quite well occupied, while a few of the intrepid immigrants had gone back among the hills and established their rude homes. The following summary of early settlements on the Susquehanna, from Wilkinson's Annals, will not be out of place here: "On the east side of the river, as the traveler came down from Jericho (Bainbridge) the first inhabitant to be met with was Lemuel Badger; the next his brother Edmund; next John and Jacob Springsteen; next was Captain James Knox. He would next meet with the habitation of William Moore and Isaac Churcher, near the old fort; next was John Stuart, a Revolutionary man who died in consequence of over-eating in the time of the great scarcity; next Edward Russell, and Asa Judd next to Mr. Russell. Below the present (1840) bridge was Nathan Lane, esq., and next to him was Azariah Hatch. Crossing the river and returning upon its western side, our traveler would first meet with Ebenezer Garnsey, Major John Garnsey, a Dr. Garnsey and a Mr. Potter; all living on the Garnsey patent. Next to these was Judge George Harper, who lived about one-half mile below the bridge. It was Oliver, a son of Judge Harper, that was shot as he was passing through the beech woods, by Treadwell; an event still fresh in the memory of many. Mr. David Hotchkiss' location was next. Mr. Hotchkiss was noted for his generosity to the poor, refusing often in times of scarcity to sell grain to those who had money, but letting it go to those who had none. He was the first magistrate appointed in the place. Next to him was Major Josiah Stow, about one mile and a half above the bridge; next above Major Stow's was Jonathan Andrus; and last upon the west side in the settlement was John and Abel Doolittle."

and page 89

A patent was granted to William Moore, John Springsteen, Jacob Springsteen, Josiah Stow, David Stow, David Hotchkiss and Josiah Beebee, for a tract of land partly in the township of Warren and partly in the township of Chenengo on both sides of the Susquehanna river, containing 1,235 acres, on the 6th of December, 1798. This is known as Moore's Patent, and lies in the present town of Windsor. Vol. XXIII, page 353. (Note from VT: This applies to recorded in the Secretary of State's office, in Book of Patents)
