Andrew left his native state at an early age locating in the town of Scipio, Cayuga County buying a farm and residing there several years. About 1818 he went to the town of Canadice buying a farm in what was then woods. He resided there for a time but through sickness and other trouble lost the farm and for the balance of is life remained poor. He had 12 children, two who died in youth. Mary was of English origin and it it is rumored that a large estate in England remains to be divided, she being one of the heirs.
In 1835 when young Isaac, who was the sixth child, was in his 15th year, they moved to Ossian. The oldest son, John who with his father bought a new farm of 125 acres making a small payment, which John subsequently paid for making a home for his family.

3.  HONORABLE ISAAC2 HAMPTON (ANDREW1) was born April 20, 1821 in Canadice, Ontario Co., New York, and died November 09, 1896 in Ossian, Livingston Co., New York.  He married MARY JANE FENTON December 08, 1849, daughter of NATHAN FENTON and LUCY SPELLMAN.  She died Aft. 1908 in of Dansville, Livingston Co., New York. Ossian Postmaster 1870
Young Hampton attended the district school to a limited extent, but in a short time he was enabled to teach a district school, and with such success that he was engaged for nine successive terms, and saved enough of his salary to enable him to attend the Nunda Academy two terms. Being then about 24 years of age, he concluded to go west, going to Ottawa, Ill., to teach school and study law, but being taken down with the fever prevailing there at that early day, he returned home in a few months, but suffering for over a year. The three years following he spent in alternately teaching winters and laboring summers. Having accumulated a small sum of money, he purchased a farm, paying two hundred dollars down, and buying a team on credit, also some timber land in the southwestern part of the town with a saw mill upon it. This mill has been burnt three times and each time promptly rebuilt, and is now in full operation. He bought timber land from time to time and cleared it, making fine farms of the land, until he had some five thousand acres. He has recently sold one thousand acres to his son Isaac F., leaving him four thousand acres.
This land is well adapted to stock raising, into which he has entered largely, having now about two thousand sheep, and other stock in proportion. From 1867 to 1875 he was engaged largely in the wool trade, but was obliged to abandon it on account of other business. In politics he was formerly a Whig. By that party he was elected Justice of the Peace and Supervisor for several terms. He entered the Republican ranks in its infancy, attending as delegate from Ossian, the first Republican convention held in Western New York, at Angelica. He has been Supervisor fourteen terms and Chairman of the Board several times; was elected to the Legislature in 1855, and received the appointment, from Abraham Lincoln during his first term, of postmaster at Ossian, which office he still holds.
In religion Mr. Hampton is a Presbyterian and his wife a Methodist, she having adopted the creed of her parents at an early day. He has long held the office of trustee in both of said churches, and for twenty-five years superintended the Sabbath school in one or both of said churches almost continually.

Hon. Issac Hampton who for may years was called by his North Dansville neighbors the "King of Ossian", died in 1896, contributed two papers to the Livingston County Historical Society which contain some interesting statements. He came to Ossian with his father's family from Canadice, Ontario County, in 1834 being then fifteen years old. He says that at that time no kind of timber was of any value, and several years afterward he assisted in logging and burning on the ground good oak and pine timber simply for the purpose of clearing. Later the timber sold in the tree for twenty-five cents a thousand feet. It was a relief to get rid of it at any price, as it made the clearing lighter. After the Erie canal was finished for several years the pine timber delivered to Dansville was about five dollars per thousand feet, but in the financial crash of 1847 good white pine lumber sold in Dansville for three dollars per thousand feet, half cash and half barter and pine shingles for 75 cents per thousand. Mr. Hampton remembered when ten saw-mills were run by water on Sugar creek, and two on Duncan run, and at that time it was not unusual to see ten to twenty teams a day from York, Leicester, Caledonia, Avon and Mt. Morris, there after lumber.
In Mr. Hampton's paper of 1886 he said: "the most notable improvement is the rapid pulling of pine stumps and putting them into fences. There are about ten stump-pulling machines in the town of Ossian of various kinds and most of them are kept busy during most of the summer season. Many farms in town have been nearly doubled in value within the last few years by freeing them from their pine stumps. Before pine stumps can be pulled fifteen years must elapse from the time the tree was cut, and the fibres from the roots have rotted. By this time hemlock and hard wood stumps are so rotted that they can be removed without difficulty. Or they will burn as they stand. Freed from these the process of pulling the pine stumps begins. By a patent lever process, or by a screw machine worked by a horse the stump is removed and left for months to dry. Then the roots on one side are hewed away and the stumps are drawn together to build fences which are impassable to cattle or sheep."
When Mr. Hampton came to Ossian in 1835, the bears and panthers had disappeared, but there were still many wolves in the forest. They came around his father's log barn in the night and several times killed some of the neighbor's sheep, and they could hear them often in the night howling near the house.
In the earlier years of the first settlers both bear and panthers were occasionally encountered. Indians were then numerous, but friendly. They came on hunting expeditions and once had a winter encampment near Ossian Centre. Among them were Tall Chief, Yankee John and Laughing Molly.  (The History of Livingston County)

Death of Ex-Sheriff Hampton
The Event Occurred Last Sunday Morning and it was Very Sudden
Ex-Sheriff Isaac F. Hampton, popularly known as "Freemont" (sic) Hampton, died very suddently at his home in this village at eight o'clock Sunday morning, his death occurring shortly after he had eaten his breakfast and while he appeared to be in his usual good spirits. He had for some time been troubled with a difficulty with his heart and he had had one or more severe spells from the trouble, but he was out as usual all last week, even up to late Saturday afternoon, and seemed in no way the worse.  He was, however, more seriously affected than he knew, for when the end came it was so quick that the physician called was too late to give him any relief.
Mr. Hampton was the son of Hon. Isaac Hampton who came into Ossian with his parents in 1835, purchased land and engaged in farming more extensively than any man who ever lived in the town. He was sent to the assembly in 1856 from the town of Ossian while the town was yet in Allegheny county, and after it was attached to Livingston county he represented the town on the Livingston county board of supervisors for eleven years and was chairman of the board one or two years, and he died in 1896.
Fremont Hampton was born in Ossian in July 1856, and he was engaged in farming, owning and controlling many acres of land. He represented his town in the board of supervisors in the year 1881 and 1882, having been elected on the Republican ticket, and in 1888 he was elected sheriff of Livingston county and served his three year term with credit. Shortly after his term of office expired he came to Dansville, purchased the home where he died, and he had been engaged since that time in attending to his Ossian farm interests and in buying wool.  He was a public spirited citizen, and did much to improve that portion of the village where he lived by enlarging his own residence and by building a number of handsome house.
Mr. Hampton was married twice, his first wife being Eva Welton of Ossian who died in 1893, his second wife being Anna Seymour of this village, who survives with eight children, offspring of his first marriage. These are Miss Jessie Hampton, Mrs. Ernest Quick, Mrs. C.J. LaBoyteaux, Miss Marguerite Hampton, F.W. Hampton, all of Dansville; Mrs. Edward Fenstermacher of Panama, Canal Zone, Mrs. Arthur Miller of Waterford, Mrs. J.R. Kennedy of Hempstead, Long Island; besides a brother and five sisters.
The funeral of Mr. Hampton was held from the house yesterday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Hakes of St. Peter's Memorial church officiating, interment on the family lot in Greenmount.
