=======================================
Source: HISTORY OF WYOMING CO., NY
BY: F. W. BEERS, 1880
=======================================
Christopher Post was born Nov. 20th, 1794, in New Jersey. In June 1815, he married Maria VanLiew. Mr. Post has always been a farmer. He has served the town as supervisor, superintendent of common schools, highway commissioner, and seven years as assessor. His father married the daughter of Captain Schenck, who served in the Revolutionary War, and came from New Jersey with an ox team, the journey consuming three weeks. Mr. Post lived two years under the administration of President Washington. At an early day he articled one hundred and fifty acres of land, and has owned two hundred and forty acres at one time. His name was on the petition to have the name of the town changed from Hebe to Gainesville. Years ago his house was often visited by Mary Jemison, the celebrated "white woman". Mr. and Mrs. Post are the only survivors of the pioneer period of the town.
