May, Mrs. Jane A. - In 1777, at Hadley, Mass., was born John Acer {6940}, son of William Acer {93762}, who was one of the first people to make a home in this locality, and whose descendants occupy a leading position in the early annals of Pittsford. John Acer was especially prominent in village affairs, being a man of public spirit and broad views. He at one time owned 100 acres, the northeastern corner of which land is now the intersection of Monroe and Main streets. In 1826 he built the Phoenix Hotel, a building noteworthy for an architectural excellence far in advance of the time, and still the leading hotel of the village. His wife was Hannah Whipple {6936}, daughter of a sea captain, by whom he had seven children, of whom Mrs. Jane May was the youngest, and is now the sole survivor. In 1848 she married Col. L. S. May, who was horn in 1817 in Washington County, and has been one of the leading merchants and a large manufacturer and refiner. Colonel and Mrs. May are now living retired in the old Acer mansion in Pittsford. They have one daughter, Mary May, and a grandson, Henry May, now a student at Hobart College, and a young man of much promise.
