From the Utica, NY City Directory  1853-1854: Pg 26.

Whitestown Seminary

Located at Whitesboro, under the control of the Free-Will Baptists
John Fullonton, President.
John J. Butler, Secretary.

Samuel Farnham, M. A., Principal.
John Fullonton, M. A., Professor of Mathematics.
John J. Bitler, M. A., Professor of Hebrew.
James S. Gardner, M. A., Professor of Natural Sciences.
Miss Wood, Preceptress.

I cannot find it in the 1852-53 edition, nor in the 1854-55 edition, but
since Hamilton College, which still exists, is not in the latter either,
that may not mean that the school existed just this one year.
