The first known ref to the Union Springs club is in a Syracuse paper in October 1860. The club payed the Syracuse BBC at Auburn NY, losing 30-27. "This game was for a prize of $20, which was put up by the Auburn club."
This appears to be the only pre-war reference to a Union Springs club.
Union Springs NY is on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, about 35 miles SW of Syracuse. Auburn NY is about 10 miles NE of Union Springs and about 25 miles SW of Syracuse. Its current population is about 1000.
