28, 1816, his parents being Col. William and Miriam (Hyatt) Hempstead, natives 
of the Empire State. His father dying in 1834, he assisted in support of the 
family until he was 25 years of age, when he bought a small farm and 
cultivated it six years. He then sold out and entered the livery business at 
Oswego City, which he followed for 14 years. Then he came to Sterling and 
engaged in the same business, in which he is enjoying fair success. He is the 
oldest liveryman in the city. Politically, he is a Democrat in his principles,
