Ontario History??
Colonel Lansing had by his wife, Mary Antill, three sons, Richard R.,
Barent B., and Edward Antill. The second son, Barent Bleecker, was
born at Oriskany, N. Y., in the year 1793, and in the year 1815 married
Sarah, daughter of Arthur Breese, esq. At an early age he was
clerk for William G. Tracy, esq., at Whitesboro, and after that engaged
in business with James Platt, esq., of Utica, N. Y. This partnership
lasted only a short time and subsequently Mr. Lansing accepted an
offer and became cashier of the Bank of Belleville, N. J., and from there
he was called to the cashiership of the Oneida Bank, Utica, which place
he held until his death in 1853.
Mr. Lansing died at the house of his
daughter, Mrs. Charles W. Morse, the wife of the eldest son of Prof. S.
F. B. Morse, at Brooklyn.
His remains were taken to Utica for interment
and were buried from the Presbyterian Church. The stores were
generally closed on the day of his funeral as a voluntary tribute of
respect for one who had many friends and no enemies. Mr. Lansing
had a loving and affectionate nature and was distinguished for honesty
and truthfulness. He was the father of five children: Arthur B.,
Henry Livingston, Henry Seymour, Manette Antill, and Barent B.
