COUNTY JUDGES

The County judges were appointed by the council from 1777 to 1822; by the governor and senate from 1822 to 1846. One of the number was styled first judge, and the others were known as associates. The pioneer judge of Ontario, was Oliver PHELPS, who continued in office from May 5, 1789 until October 5, 1793, when Timothy HOSMER was appointed to the office and held it until June 1805, when, constitutionally disqualified by age for longer exercise of official duty, he retired to private life. He was succeeded by John NICHOLAS, appointed January 27, 1803, and who retained the office for sixteen years, when he resigned honors and responsibilities into the hands of Nathaniel W. HOWELL, who served from the date of his appointment, March 13, 1819 until 1833. The various incumbents of the office since the later date have been: Oliver PHELPS, appointed April 30, 1833; Bowen WHITING, July 17, 1838; Charles J. FOLGER, May 7, 1844; E.
