McCammon, George W., Manheim, was born October 25, 1808, in Albany, N.Y.  He 
received a liberal education in the schools of that city, after which he

of age he was engaged for five years in Orange county as book-keeper at 
Cornwall Cotton factory; was appointed second officer of the steamer "North 
American," and two years afterwards was engaged in smelting ore in Canada, in 
connection with a Mr. Townsend, under the firm name of Townsend & McCammon.  
In 1839 he purchased his farm of 133 acres, near Little Falls, upon which he 
has since lived.  Squire McCammon has held the office of justice of the peace 
and was appointed by the governor inspector of turnpikes in Herkimer, which
