Burnita
Shelton Matthews was the first woman appointed to the Federal
District Court Bench, an event which did not take place until
1949. This fact appears in the history books, but Burnita accomplished
many other things throughout her life that made her an exceptional
person. She spent a lifetime fighting for women’s rights under
the law. The issues Burnita tackled spanned from suffrage to jury
service, and from property to citizenship. |

The
son of Thomas Barlow, late of the town of Duanesburgh, Schenectady
County, N.Y., and was born in that town March 14, 1807.
His
education was academical; studied law with Honorable Arphaxed
Loomis and E. P. Hulburt, of Little Falls, Selleck Boughton, of
Rochester, Aaron Hackley, of Herkimer, and G. B. Judd of Frankport.
In July term of the Supreme Court of 1831 he was admitted as attorney,
and in July term, 1834, to the degree of Counsellor of that court;
January 26, 1835, he was admitted solicitor and counsellor of
the Court of Chancery.
In
September, 1831, he located in his profession in Canas- tota,
Madison County; married for his first wife Cornelia G. Rowe of
that place, and second, Charlotte Spriggs, of Floyd, Oneida county.
He has six sons--
George, Edward, Eugene, Albert, Henry and Flandrau.
In
the fall of 1842 he was appointed Superintendent of the schools
of Madison County, was First Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
of that county from Feb. 2, 1843, to the first day of January,
1848; and State Senator from January 01, 1844, to January 01,
1848. In May, 1841, he was made a corresponding member of the
New York Historical Society, in the city of New York.
He
was granted the honorary degree of Master of Arts by the Board
of Trustees of Hamilton College, in July, 1851. In July, 1853,
he was elected a member of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, and in March, 1854, he was elected corresponding member
of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. April 08, 1854,
he was made a corresponding member of the New Orleans Academy
of Sciences, and granted a diploma, and in June, 1862, he was
elected a like member of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences.
He
formed a cabinet in natural history of his own gathering, mounting
and arranging of birds, animals, and especially of insects, equaling
if not exceeding any other private one in the State, and has from
time to time lectured before societies, literary, educational
and collegiate institutions and univer- sities, on natural history,
and entomology in particular, as the favorite branch of his studies.
To arduous professional and judicial services he thus added the
labors of familiarizing himself with a knowledge of natural sciences,
practically and theoretically, to an extent surpassed by but few
in our country.
Judge
Barlow has kindly contributed much of the history of Canastota
from his own records, which the publishers grate- fully acknowledge.
As most of the records of the county were destroyed by the fire
of 1873, it would have been impossible to have gathered them from
any other source.
LAWYERS.--The
pioneer lawyer of Canastota was George Ager; after him Ichabod
Smith Spencer, who moved from Massachusetts in 1802 to the town
of Madison. He began the practice of law in 1808, and was one
of the most successful lawyers of his time. Curtis C. Baldwin,
Thomas Barlow, Israel S. Spencer, Hiram Bennett, William
H. Kinney and I. Newton Messinger were among the earliest of the
profession in Canastota. Judge Thomas Barlow is the oldest
resident lawyer at present, as also the oldest practicing lawyer
in the county, forty-nine years of the time having practiced in
the village of Canastota.
