It is believed that William travel to South Carolina with his brothers' Thomas and Benjamin prior to 1769 . William first bought property in North Carolina in 1769 and a total of four land grants are listed prior to 1880. William is listed in the Orange Co. Tax records of 1779. Three of the grants are in Hillsborough Orange County and the fourth is in what was then Western lands of North Carolina but now Eastern Tennessee. William sold out his land holdings of 987 acres in 1798 and crossed over the Georgia border into Lincoln County. Settling in Lincolnton. I have found two marriages one to Anny or Amy Edwards or Edmund (b. 1786 in SC. D. 1857 in Lincoln Co. Ga.)3 Jan 1808 in Lincoln Co. Ga. The first marriage to Sarah Strayhorn ( b. In 1746 in Hawfield Orange Co NC. D. 1808 in Organge NC.) Abt 1770 in NC. All of the children of the first marriage are named in the DAR application of Mrs. Jacqueline Rawls Noland. William died in 6 Oct. 1819 and his will was probated 24 Jun 1820 in Lincolnton, Lincoln County, Georgia. 12 of the 16 names listed in William's will and presumed to be his children.

William moved from Manmouth Co., New Jersey to Orange Co., North Carolina in 17??. He purchased a Grist Mill about 1780 on the Eno River in Orange Co. from Mr. Abercrombrie, the builder. This Mill has been restored as the West Point Mill located in Eno River Park in Durham, Durham Co., North Carolina. He also owned Synott's Mill, which was down stream from the West Point Mill, also on the Eno River. William transferred 200 acres of land in Orange Co., North Carolina to his son Gilbert in 1798. This transfer was witnessed by William's son David. William moved from Orange Co., North Carolina with his sons Gilbert and David in late 1798 or early 1799 to Abbeville District, South Carolina.

(But there is a chance that this Rebecca Cox is not Jame's daughter.)

http://xpda.com/family/etc/The_Cox_Family_in_America.pdf ~1707 - <1773 William Ansley 66 66 William came to America in 1733. He was one of 59 persons who joined the Old Tennent Presbyterian Church, Freehold, on June 8, 1735. The following year, his wife Rebecca became a member. They probably married in the intervening time.

Rebecca is known to have died in the 1750's and William, after marrying Elizabeth Cox, died intestate in 1773. Elizabeth was appointed administrator of his estate on March 27, 1773, so William must have died in early 1773.

Some say William's father is Henry, some say Benjamin. Some say Benjamin is related to the Annesleys  1958 Catherine Elaine Jorski 1746 - <1808 Sarah Strayhorn 62 62 Children

Haven, CT for another state. After the death of his wife Mary Moss, Solomon took his family and moved to Morristown, NJ. It may be worth noting that Solomon appears on the records at Trenton, NJ, 18 Oct 1852, as "Principal Creditor of John Prudden (remember Samuel (1717) married Sarah Prudden, late of Morris County, deceased).

Hanover Church existed as early as 1718. Morristown was West Hanover, and its Church (Presbyterian) was organized in 1740. A list of members made 13 Aug 1742 includes Solomon Munson and his wife Tamar; he became a ruling elder 5 July 1754. A copy of his will appears on page 194, Vol. 1 of "The Munson Records". 1664 - 1741 Samuel Munson 77 77 Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut:
A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a Nation. Volume IV Adams (The Munson Line). (III) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (1) Munson, was born February 28, 1668-69, and lived in Wallingford.

He married Martha -, who died January 7, 1707, and he married (second) March 10, 1708, Mary, widow of Caleb Merriman, daughter of Deacon Eliasaph Preston. She was born April 24, 1674, and died November 28, 1755. He died November 23, 1741.

In 1690 Samuel received from his father a deed of his dwelling house, barn, and one-half his "accommodations" in Wallingford. March 15, 1692, he was given by the town thirty acres of land gratis, and in 1696 was given liberty with five others to build a saw-mill. April 26, 1698, he was chosen treasurer of the town, and in December of the same year auditor. In 1694-95, 1701 and 1704 he was chosen lister. He was townsman in 1709 and 1713.

Information on the Munson family is available in The Munson Record: A Genealogical and Biographical Account of Captain Thomas Munson and His Descendants, by Myron A. Munson, M.A., 1895.

-----------------------------------
Thomas Munson (1612-1685) first appears in America in records of Hartford, Connecticut in 1637 as a member of the militia unit engaged in the Pequot Indian War. In 1639, he signed the Fundamental Agreement at New Haven where he established his permanent home. His life is well documented in The Munson Record Volume I and the Connecticut Colony records. The evidence is persuasive that the Thomas Munson who was recorded as being baptized in St. Nicholas Church in Rattlesden, County Suffolk, England on September 13, 1612 was the same man who later distinguished himself in the public affairs of colonial New Haven. The principal tie is the age listed on his gravestone.. aged 73 years, which links well with the baptismal record. The Church records document that the Thomas Munson of Rattlesden was the son of John and Elizabeth Munson. John was baptized 14 Oct 1571 and was buried 26 Nov 1650. Elizabeth was buried 3 Jan 1634/5. John was the son of Richard and Margery (Barnes) Munson. Richard was buried at Rattlesden on 3 Dec 1590, while Margery was buried there 7 Feb 1622/3.

Beginnings - Thomas Cooper of Springfield and Some Allied Families by Agnew Thompson Cooper and John Bradley Cooper, published 1987:

Thomas Munson was first recorded as in Hartford, Connecticut in 1637. He was one of sixty-three signers of the "Agreement", sergeant in the "Trayned Band" selectman in 1656, promoted to "Ensigne" in 1661, assigned "seat No. 29 of the shorte seats in the meetinghouse". He was a member of the Council of War which considered what action should be taken against the Dutch in America and he commanded troops around Saybrook, Connecticut in King Phillip's War. He was later commissioned to deal with the Indians.

I. Capt. Thomas Munson, the ancestor of all the Munsons in the United States, was born in 1612 and died in 1685. He came from England, and in 1637 was one of the forty-two men of Hartford, Connecticut, who served under Captain Mason in the Pequot Indian war. He was of New Haven, where he signed the Fundamental Agreement in 1639. He was lieutenant in 1664-76, served under Captain Treat in the King Phillip war; was captain in 1676 of the New Haven Militia. Captain Thomas was elected to the Plantation Court in 1662. He was foreman of the first grand jury empaneled in New Haven; also a member of the Supreme Court of Appeals. In 1666 he was elected deputy to the General Assembly, serving in this capacity for twenty-four sessions. 1610 - 1678 Joanna 68 68 1571 - 1650 John Munson 79 79 ~1575 - 1633 Elizabeth Sparke 58 58 1545 - 1590 Richard Munson 45 45 ~1547 Margery Barnes George Barnes Margery 1706 - 1783 William Herndon 77 77 ~1729 Mary Colson Mary Colson is a descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrim Isaac Allerton, who was thrown out of Plymouth Colony. 1811 - 1842 Rebecca Langston 30 30 1733 Christian Bennett 1914 Elmo L Van Valkenburgh 1911 Loletta Marquerite Van Valkenburgh 1871 - 1952 Charles E Reid 80 80 Charles Reid, Sr. was a pioneer settler in Oklahoma. He was born February 23, 1871 near Bloomington, Illinois. He was the oldest child of Luther Reid and Sarah (Kaufman) Reid.

About the year 1885 the family moved to Kansas, settling on a farm seven miles south and one east of Peabody, Kansas. Dad's father came on ahead to fix a house for the family to live in. Dad was a boy of 12 when they moved. He, his mother, and three other children made the trip in a covered wagon pulled by horses, across the country.

When the Cherokee Outlet was opened for settlement in Oklahoma, on September 16, 1893, Charles Reid and two or three neighbor boys decided to make the run on horseback. They started at the State line south of Hunnewell, Kansas. With the shot of the pistol, the line quickly moved south. After riding about 20 miles south, Dad set his stake on some ground just north of Tonkawa a mile or so. When the ground was measured off into quarters and eighths, another man had staked on the same piece of ground. Dad just pulled his stake, rather than argue with the man, and went back to Kansas. The following spring, he came back to Oklahoma, bought a relinquishment and proved up on the N E1/4 27-28-3.

In the spring of 1896 or 97, there was a big wheat crop in the Cherokee Strip. Dad's brother Thomas moved a threshing machine down from their home in Kansas, and threshed for many farmers in the community. From that year on, they were known as "the Reid Brothers Threshing Crew." This went on until 1914 when Dad moved to Colorado, and sold his interest in the outfit to his brother.

Charles was a bachelor for about 14 years. His father passed away in the fall of 1894. The neighbors of Charles tried hard to find him a housekeeper, by giving parties and inviting young ladies to them. In the summer of 1906, Florence O. Robinson came to visit her sister, Mrs. Rufus Forsyth. A romance started soon after she arrived, and on November 27, 1907 they were married. The wedding was held near Bethany, Illinois at the Robinson home.

As the years went by Charles and Florence had six children born to them. They were Mrs. Ralph (Grace), Webster; Jerry S. Reid, Ponca City; Walter Neil Reid, who died at the age of 8 months; Charles E. Reid, Blackwell, Oklahoma; Gail E. Reid, Midwest City, Oklahoma; and Mrs. Leland (Avis) Eaves, Puerto Rico.

In the summer of 1914, the Reid family moved to Colorado, near Keensburg, thinking that the climate would be better for Dad's health. After two years, they decided to move back to their place north of Deer Creek. Mother, with three children, came on the train to Deer Creek ahead of Dad. He came on a freight train with our household goods and livestock, arriving a few days later. We stayed with the Rufus Forsyth family until our furniture arrived. Stanley Forsyth (a cousin), Jerry, my brother, and myself would play out on the road. Mama told us we would get hurt, but we'd do it anyway. She even told us one day that the old devil would get us if we didn't mind, but we continued playing on the road. The next day the old devil showed up between the house and the road. We were scared. Stanley took out for the house as fast as he could go; I grabbed Jerry's arm and we started for the house too. Our mothers were waiting at the door for us. We told them that the old devil was in the yard, but we didn't stop until we got inside and under the bed. Later we learned it was Mama dressed up like the devil to keep us off the road!

The schools were one room buildings, and one teacher to a building with all eight grades being taught. Dad held all offices of the school board at one time or another, while he had children in the grade school. W e lived 21/4 miles from school. We would either walk, ride a pony, or drive a pony and buggy for transportation. One evening my brother and I were returning home from school; we were playing and cutting up on the pony's back, when all of a sudden she just jumped sideways and we both fell to the ground. She didn't run from us, but stood beside us until we got up. Since we were almost home, we walked and led the pony the rest of the way.

In 1917 Dad had a nice two story house built for his family. We were so pleased with this new house as we had more room. Charles Reid did most of his farming with horses until his boys were teenagers, then he got a tractor. Our father was a hardworking man, a good manager, and a good neighbor.

Like many pioneer families, they struggled long days through all the hardships common to all the early settlers. They raised most of the food that we ate, milked cows, churned their butter, baked bread, and cured their meats, in order to keep their family fed during these years.

We lost our mother on September 12, 1949 and Dad on February 2, 1952. They are both buried in the cemetery at Nardin, Oklahoma.

There is no indication that she remarried. She had four sons and four daughters. Her second youngest child was eight years older than Erskine. After the Civil War she moved to Phillips County, Arkansas where her brothers had moved.

She was the daughter of Aaron Starnes (1761-1833) who fought in the Revolutionary War. Aaron’s father came to South Carolina from New England. This family can be traced to Shubael Stearns who was part of the first wave of Puritan migration from England to Boston. He arrived in 1630 with his son Charles Stearns (1625-1695) on the Arabella (which also carried Governor John Winthrop). Shubael died just after arriving in America and his son Charles was raised by his uncle Isaac Stearns. There are very good records on this family and many of their marriages. Charles’ grandson Shubael III and his sons were caught up in the religious movement known as the Great Awakening which began in the 1730s. They became devout Baptists about 1745 and found that their views were suspect in New England. Shubael III and his sons left for the Carolinas in 1754 initially settling in North Carolina where his son, Shubael IV, became a famous Baptist minister. Shubael III’s son John (Armenta’s grandfather) and two of his brothers moved on to South Carolina in the late 1760s. They were not ministers but they helped to organize Baptist churches everywhere they went. Some pedigrees including that of Harold Fox identify Armenta’s grandfather John as the son of Shubael III’s  brother Charles, but I have not found any records to support that. I did find sources that identify a son of Shubael III as John which I believe to be the more likely connection. Either way the line goes back to the Shubael I who arrived on the Arabella. After going South the Stearns changed the spelling of their name to Starnes.  1849 - 1939 Erskine Lyles Langston 90 90 Obituary: Mr. Langston, who had recently celebrated his 90th birthday, died Wednesday morning at 10:30.

They grew very large and suggested the name, "Box Grove," by which the place was afterwards known. 1672 - 1750 James Cox 78 78 According to the Throckmorton Family History, James Cox was grandfather to Governor James Cox, a hero of the Revolution and a member of Congress from Ohio, who died in 1810 before his term expired.

He was described in his will as "James Cox, of Upper Freehold, in the County of Monmouth and Province of New Jersey, Gentleman.''

His political sympathies were with the people as opposed to the proprietaries. If he were not as active and outspoken as his brother John and others had been at the time of the outbreak at Middle- town, he was not less interested in the success of the popular movement When the rule of the Assembly had become intolerable and the titles of freeholders to their lands seemed likely to be called in question, the governing body were denounced as enemies to the country.

In 1707, an attempt was made to bring about the dissolution of the Assembly and to elect a new one. With this end in view a fund was raised, known as "the Blind Tack," to which James Cox and his brother, Joseph, were liberal contributors. Whatever may have been the outcome of that campaign, the rights of freeholders were ultimately assured and he lived for many years afterwards in peaceful possession of his estate at Upper Freehold, which passed at length, without a cloud upon its title, to his numerous family.

He was long identified with the Baptist Church and died at a good old age in the religious faith in which he had been reared. His body was interred in the family plot on his farm at Upper Freehold, where, as his will states, many of his kindred were buried. His own grave and the graves of two others are all of which any trace remains.

states that Thomas Cox, one of its members died, about 1733 or
1734; m. ; children : i. Mary, ii. Dinah, iii. John.  1692 Rachel Cox ~1693 Anna Cox 1696 Alice Cox ~1699 - 1753 James Cox 54 54 He was born about 1698 or earlier. He died in 1853 leaving a widow, Elizabeth, and five sons—two by his first wife — besides daughters referred to in his will, but not named. His brother-in-law, Thomas Fenton, Jr., an executor ; personal estate appraised by Joseph Robins, at £152.11, including "a Palatine boy" valued at in, the latter probably an indentured servant ; value of realty not given.

He was taxed on 300 acres, in Upper Freehold, 1731 ; married at least twice; last wife, Elizabeth (Fenton?); Hannah Robins who m. James Cox, Monmouth Co., license Nov. i, 1745, may have been his wife; if so. A previous marriage must have occurred to account for his large family.

Children : i. Nathaniel, ii. John, iii. a daughter, iv. a daughter, v. a daughter;
second or third marriage—vi. Thomas, vii. Isaac, viii. Elisha; the last three under age in 1753.
~1700 Dorothy Cox 1710 John Cox 1713 - 1801 Joseph (Judge Joseph) Cox 87 87 He was described as "a fanner, in easy circumstances, of unblemished character, of strong mind and highly respected; honored no man because he was rich; never ashamed of honest labor; reading the Bible aloud, one of the delights of his old age. One of his grandsons refers to his fine and venerable appearance and to that of his wife, who was in no respect his inferior and who, he thinks, must have been beautiful in her earlier years.

The wealth that he left to his children was not insignificant, although, when divided by ten, it could scarcely have gone far; but their lives were enriched by the nobler heritage of a godly character and an untarnished name.

Children : i. Catharine, ii. Margaret, b. June 17, 1738, d. Apr. 8, 1740; iii. William, b. July 5, 1740, d. May, J759; iv- Thomas, v. Ann, vi. Asher, vii. Joseph, viii. Samuel, ix. James, x. Ezckiel, xi. Mary.
 ~1667 Thomas Cox He was described in his will, as a yeoman, of Freehold, Monmouth County, Freehold being the name of the township, now Upper Freehold, where his family had become established.

By the terms of the will, an "acre square * * * on the hill above the orchard," was left as a "burying place for the family of the testator and his brother, John Cox," His personal estate was valued at more than ¿630, which, together with his landed interests, was a considerable fortune, for that time. His business capacity may be inferred from the frequent mention of his name in connection with the settlement and administration of estates. Though not an office holder, apparently, he was actively interested in public affairs and a staunch supporter of popular government.

He was one of those who, in 1700. signed a remonstrance, complaining of certain acts of the Proprietors, and asking for the appointment of a competent Governor.

A year later, he signed a similar petition, urging that the Province be taken under the government of the King unless the Proprietors appoint a suitable Governor. Thus early was the way being prepared for that great popular uprising which culminated, seventy-five years later, in the American Revolution.

In the matter of religion, he was a Baptist and one of the earliest members of the old church of Middletown, in the communion of which he died at the comparatively early age of 55 years.

Children:  i. Catharine, ii. Mary, iii. Elizabeth, b. July 30, 1698; probably died young: iv. Thomas, v. Alice, b. July 22, 1702, d. young( ?) ; vi. John. b. Mar. 27, 1706, d. young ( ?) ; vii. Lydia.
~1670 - 1729 John Cox 59 59 He was born probably about 1670; died in the autumn of 1729 ; little is known of him beyond the fact that he figured somewhat prominently in the riots which broke out in Monmouth County in 1701.

Despairing of obtaining relief by peaceful methods, from the arbitrary exactions of the government, he became identified with the movement to secure, by force, the justice which could not be wrung from the authorities, through petition or remonstrance.

At a Court of Sessions held at Middletown, March 6, i/oi, he and other citizens were fined ten shillings each, for contempt and misbehavior before the Court. A few days later, the Governor and Justices were seized by the excited populace and held as prisoners from the 25th to the 2gth of March. There was as little doubt of the contempt in which the authorities were held by the people as there was of the utter disregard of popular rights on the part of the authorities.

John Cox was no advocate of the doctrine of passive resistance. He was openly aggressive, and, in character and spirit not unlike the men of his blood who, in after years, at the battle of Monmouth, continued the fight which their fathers had begun, in a small way, at Middletown, at the beginning of the century.

His part in the riots does not appear to have affected his standing in the Baptist Church of which he continued to be a member until the end of his life.

He died at his home in Upper Freehold, leaving a widow and eight children to mourn his loss and a comfortable estate to cheer them in their affliction.

The names of the children occur frequently in the early annals of the neighborhood, but in the absence of family records, and the multiplicity of identical names, at the same time, in other branches of the family, it has not been found possible to identify them all with any degree of certainty.

Children : i. John, ii. Joseph, iii. Samuel, iv. Elisabeth, v. Rachel, vi. Mary, vii. Alice, viii. Mercy. (The order in which their names are mentioned in his will).

Thomas Hall Herndon, uncle to JGH, received a letter from John A. Herndon, Sr., Superintendent of Schools, Danville, Va., dated "Mch 28 1891 ", now in the possession of JGH. It is one of the earliest genealogical letters he has. It reads in part as follows: "We are not able at this writing to trace our ancestry further than to Great Grand father, whose name was Joseph Herndon. His last residence was in Fluvanna County, Va, where he owned a good estate and reared a large family of boys and girls, the boys largely predominating. All of them, we are advised, were respectable and useful citizens with probably one exception, Robert who became a victim to the dire monster, drink, but never otherwise disgraced the name. I make and enclose herewith a diagram which though very imperfect may be some guide."

Marriage Licence of George Davis and Susanna Herndon, dated 25 Oct 1813. George Davis and Joseph Herndon paid $150 to secure the licence so that George could marry Susannah Herndon. The original document is located in Fluvanna County Court House. The ministers marriage return book, page 92 says that George and Susanna were married on 30 Oct 1813. SHEET 621. 2. Fluvanna County Deed Book 17 page 251, and page 342. In these deeds Hiram agreed to support Susanna Davis as a member of his family in exchange for use of her tract of land (probably for farming). The land in the deeds is described as, "her tract of land on which she now resides, lying in the County of Fluvanna, containing forty-four acres more or less and bounded by the lands of Stephen Johnson, James Baltimore (DB17P251, dated 14 Nov 1853). On 26 Feb 1856 (DB17P342) Susanna and Hiram agreed to break the contract because Hiram was unable to live up to it. Susanna allowed Hiram to live on the property until the 25th of December and then he was to surrender all interest in the property, and the former contract was to be dissolved. SHEETS 617-618, and SHEETS 625-626. 3. 1850 Census Fluvanna County page 16, line 35. Susanna is listed in her own household with no husband, age 67, born in Virginia. Living with her was Sarah E.

I [Paul Shipp] have assumed that George Davis is really her husband and that Herndon is truly her maiden name by searching the marriage records of Fluvanna county for all marriages of Davis men to women named Susanna, and only one exists, listed above. 1787 - 1857 Joseph Herndon 70 70 Carpenter

Does any one have any information pertaining to the Birth and Marriage(s) of John "Wesley" Powell? From what I can find he was possibly born around 1800-1816. I think from what I can find he may have been married twice. 1st to Sarah Jane Herndon d/o Ruben Herndon and Hannah Long Herndon on Dec. 20, 1824. 2ndly to Eliza Jane Gauldin d/o of Samuel H.Gaulden and Cathen Gaulden on November 9, 1954. Can anyone confirm this? The reason I think he may have been married twice is the number of children I have found in records at the Chatham Courthouse and on Family Search. Com, also family story tells that his wife was killed (shot)as she stepped in front of her son to protect him. I think this must have been Sarah Jane Herndon. Another puzzling thing is who is his parents/mother. I thought it was Elizabeth, Nancy has been mentioned in the family. Also, how do I go about looking up this "killing". I have been told by family members that someone served time.


Amy Hughes
John W Powell is my 4th great grandfather. According to my records, Sarah Jane Herndon Powell died on July 17, 1863 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I haven't heard anything about the "killing". But if my records are correct, maybe the date of death will help you out.

Would like to connect these families. 1781 Nancy Herndon 1783 - 1854 Thomas Herndon 71 71 He went with his father's family to Green County, Kentucky, where on 31 May 1809 he married NANCY.  Thomas and Nancy Herndon removed from Green County, Kentucky to Franklin County Indiana in 1821. On 17 March 1821 he purchased 120 acres on Blue Creek in Butler Township, 4 miles southwest of Brookville.' There (as a member of the family wrote) the " woods were full of Indians and wild animals." Thomas Herndon " had a log cabin education. He remembered too that General Harrison made a canoe out of a buckeye tree." 3
     One of the most exciting incidents in the life of the people of Franklin County at about this date was the trial of an old Revolutionary soldier, Samuel Fields, on the charge of having murdered his grandson, Robert Murphy."'
     Thomas Herndon was a member of the grand jury which indicted Samuel Fields 1785 Nathaniel Herndon 1787 Caddis Oliver Herndon Caddis Herndon served in Major Bagley's regiment of Kentucky Militia during the War of 1812. He enlisted at Newport, Ky., as a private in Captain Garret Peterson's Company, Colonel Barbee's Regiment, 23 August 1812 and served until mustered out at Newport 19 March 1813. A part of this time his captain was Robert Burnet. His name appears on the tax lists of Green County, Ky., in 1811, 1816, 1818, 1819, and 1821. He lived in Jefferson County thereafter until his death at Paducah in 1833. 1789 Judith Herndon 1790 Frances Herndon 1792 Jane Herndon 1794 Wesley Herndon born 2 January 1794 in Madison County, Va., and continued to live there until his parents removed to Green County, Ky., approximately ten years later. From 11 June 1814 to 3 0 June 1815 he served under Captain B. Harrison in the Second Regiment of United States Riflemen.    Because of that service he was allowed a pension.    In his pension application papers he stated that at the time of his enlistment he was of, light complexion and sandy hair; was 5' 11" tall; and that he had followed the occupation of blacksmith.
He married at Brookville, Ind., 26 May 1813, ESTHER HALBERSTADT. They removed in 1825 to the town of Union in Boone County, Ky. From there they went to Burlington and shortly thereafter to Florence in that same County.    They made their home there for the rest of their lives. Wesley Herndon died suddenly of a heart attack while shoeing a horse 9 October 1854. 1795 - 1867 Archer Gray Herndon 71 71 He was still a tiny child when his father moved from Virginia to Greensburg, Green County, Ky. He served as a private in the company of Indiana Militia commanded by Captain Shultz in the War of 1812, having volunteered at Brookville 1 May 1814 for one year. He actually served, from 28 July 1814 until discharged at Vincennes, Ind., 28 July 1815. Reference has already been made to him as an old hunter always on the alert for marauding Indians in the sketch of his brother Elliott.  Early in 1819 he and his wife moved to Troy, Madison County, Ill., and in the spring of 1821 they moved from Madison County and settled in the community which afterward became known as German Prairie, about five miles northeast of the present city of Springfield. Soon after this they moved to Springfield where he was in business until 1826.
     In that year he was elected State Senator and was one of the " Long Nine " who were instrumental in having the State capital moved from Vandalia to Springfield. They were so designated because the shortest among the nine of them was over six feet tall. He was United States Receiver of Public Moneys in the Land Office from 1842 to 1860.  Additional information on the personality and activities of Archer Gray Herndon may be obtained from David Donald: Lincoln's Herndon, New York; A. A. Knopf, 1948.

192    The Herndons of the American Revolution
   " The parents were strict Christians, of the Presbyterian faith; the children were all baptised in their infancy. The strong mind and retentive memory which so characterized the deceased in her old age was made manifest in early years. . . . At the age of twelve the family moved via Pittsburg and the present site of Cincinnati to Harrison near Brookville, Ind., then an unbroken wilderness. In the journey across the mountains her father and brothers walked while she drove the four-horse team.    They arrived safely at Pittsburg where they took flats for Cincinnati which was then a cornfield with three log cabins for a city.    Here they landed and started through the wilderness looking for a suitable place to settle; finally they arrived at the present site at Brookville where they took possession of a quarter section of land and located themselves.    They built a rude log cabin with a hole in the roof for a chimney, and a blanket hung in front of a small opening for a door. At night the wolves would come around the door and fight over the bones that were thrown from the tables.... She leaves 23 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren."

Just thought as a Herndon researcher I might let you know I had followed Sarah Dant Herndon after Carey had passed away.  What I found was that she had married a Lewis J. Ferguson 28 Oct 1858 in Menard County, Illinois.  On the 1860 Athens, Menard County census, Sarah was listed married to Lewis Ferguson and there was a Herndon female child listed by the name of Melvina, born about 1854 in Illinois.

Since Lewis J. Ferguson was captured and taken to Andersonville Prison in Georgia and subsequently died there in 1864, I was unable to find Sarah & Melvina in the 1870 census records and thereafter.  But, I thought you might be interested that a child was born of the union between Carey Jones and Sarah.

My own descendency in the Herndon line is through William Henry Herndon of Springfield, Illinois.  The full line is James Nathaniel, Beverly Houston and Houston Beverly Herndon.

Hope this information is of some help to you in your research.

Lincoln had told him he never read biographies because they were all lies. (At that time, bios were written in romantic style and rarely said anything negative about anyone.)
Herndon was determined to write an accurate account of Lincoln's life, believing he would want it that way. Nearly every book written about Lincoln used some of Herndon's research. He was much hated at the time for his writings. After many years of giving his research to other writers, he finally agreed to co-author the book "Herndon's Lincoln," which is in libraries and available for sale today.

Author of Herndon's Lincoln: the true story of a great life ... The history and personal recollections of Abraham Lincoln, by William H. Herndon, Jesse William Weik, et al, 1889.

David Herbert Donald wrote a biography of William H. Herndon called "Lincoln's Herndon: A Biography," published in 1948.

Herndon, Kansas
Herndon Kansas's history began in May 1876 when Lorenz and Sophia Demmer came from Smith County, Kansas to stake their homestead claim in SE 4 of Sec. 3-2-31. Their first residence was a cave in the banks of Ash Creek at the east edge of what would become the town of Herndon. In the spring of 1877 the first of many Austrian-Hungarian immigrants, Mathias and Teckla Hafner, homesteaded a mile west of town.

The autumn of 1879 saw merchant I. N. George haul in a wagon train of merchandise and supplies. He put up a building and opened the first general store in Herndon and in Rawlins County. A year later Mr. George became postmaster of the town then called "Pesth. He got the town's name changed to Herndon to honor Billy Herndon, who was Abraham Lincoln's law partner.

==================================
Excerpt from "Lincoln and Whitman," by Daniel Mark Epstein, 2004

Springfield, 1857
Abraham Lincoln's law partner William "Billy" Herndon, thirty-nine, loved the birds and wildflowers of the prairie, pretty women, and corn liquor. He also had an immoderate passion for new books, and for the transcendental philosophizing of pastor Theodore Parker and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. By his own accounting he had spent four thousand dollars on his collection of poetry, philosophy, and belles lettres-a fortune in those days, when a good wood-frame house in Springfield, Illinois, cost half as much. Journalist George Alfred Townsend called Herndon's library the finest in the West.

Herndon's narrow, earnest-looking face was fringed with whiskers in the Scots manner, and his eyes were close-set, intense. His favorite philosopher-poet was Emerson. Herndon so admired the Sage of Concord that he purchased Emerson's books by the carton and gave them away to friends and strangers with the zeal of an evangelist. A backwoods philosopher, Herndon even solicited Emerson's endorsement for his tract "Some Hints on the Mind," in which he claimed to have discovered the mind's fundamental principle, "if not its law."

So when Emerson espoused a new book of poetry, calling it "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed," Herndon wasted no time in locating a copy, which could be found on the shelves of R. Blanchard's, Booksellers, in Chicago, where he frequently traveled on business.

Having held the olive-green book, its cover blind-stamped with leaves and berries; having regarded with a twinge of envy the salutation "I Greet You at the / Beginning of A / Great Career / R W Emerson," gold-stamped on the spine, the bibliophile-lawyer plunked down his golden dollar for the second edition of Whitman's Leaves of Grass. And knowing the storm the book had caused in more sophisticated circles, Herndon brought the brickbat-shaped volume to the office he shared with Lincoln and set it in clear view on the table, where anyone might pick up the book and thumb through it. Leaves of Grass was exactly the length of a man's hand. He laid it down on the baize-covered table with the complacence of an anarchist waiting for a bomb to explode.

The Lincoln-Herndon law office was on the second floor of a brick building on the west side of Springfield's main square, across from the courthouse. Visitors mounted a flight of stairs and passed down a dark hallway to a medium-sized room in the rear of the building. The upper half of the door had a pane of beveled glass, with a curtain hanging from a wire, on brass rings. Lincoln would unlock the door, open it, and draw the curtain as he closed the door behind him. Two dusty windows overlooked the alley.


Herndon's biographer David Donald describes the office as "a center of political activity, of gossip and friendly banter, and of such remote problems as the merits of Walt Whitman's poetry."

The office was untidy and cobwebbed. Once, after Lincoln had come home from Congress with the customary dole of seeds to distribute to farmers, John Littlefield, a law student, discovered while sweeping that some of the stray wheat seeds had sprouted in the cracks between the floorboards. A long pine table that divided the room, and met with a shorter table to make a T, was scored by the jackknives of absent-minded clerks and clients. In one corner stood a secretary desk, its many pigeonholes and drawers stuffed with letters and memoranda, its besieged surface sustaining a spattered earthenware inkwell and a few gold pens. Bookcases rose between the tall windows. A spidery black stain blotted one wall, at the height of a man's head, where an ink bottle had exploded-the memento, according to Lincoln, of a disagreement between law students over a point of jurisprudence that would not yield to cold logic.

Papers were strewn everywhere, as if by a prairie wind: on the table, on the floor, on the five scattered cane-bottomed chairs and the ragged sofa where the senior partner of the firm liked to stretch out his full length, his head on the arm of the sofa. His legs were too long to fit the settee, so Lincoln would rest his feet on the raveling cane seat of a chair. There he reclined every morning, after arriving at nine, clean-shaven. And he would read, aloud. He read newspapers and books, always aloud, much to the annoyance of his partner, who found the high, tuneful voice, with its chuckling interludes and asides, a distraction from the warrants and writs and invoices. Herndon once asked Lincoln why he had to read aloud, and the forty-eight-year-old ex-Congressman explained: "Two senses catch the idea: first I see what I read; second I hear it, and therefore I can remember it better." Lincoln-not boasting-said that his mind was like steel: the gray matter was difficult to scratch, but once engraved on it, information was nearly impossible to efface. According to Herndon, Lincoln did not read many books, but whatever he did read he absorbed completely.

The law students got to Whitman first. Perhaps they had read about Leaves of Grass in Putnam's Monthly Magazine, where the eminent Charles Eliot Norton had announced that words "banished from polite society are here employed without reserve" and called the book a curious mixture of "Yankee Transcendentalism and New York rowdyism"; or they might have caught notice of it in the New York Criterion, where the dyspeptic Rufus Griswold referred to it as "this gathering of muck." In America's most influential literary journal, the North American Review, Edward Everett Hale rhapsodized about Leaves of Grass. And in May 1856 no less an authority than Fanny Fern-the highest-paid columnist in the country-referred to Whitman in the New York Ledger as "this glorious Native American." The book was widely praised and condemned, much discussed, if not much purchased or read.

According to Henry Bascom Rankin, who was a student in the Lincoln-Herndon office in 1857, "discussions hot and extreme sprung up between office students and Mr. Herndon concerning its poetic merit." A few verses:

I mind how we lay in June, such a transparent summer morning,

You settled your head athwart my hips and gently turned over upon me,

And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart . . .

I turn the bridegroom out of bed and stay with the bride myself,

I tighten her all night to my thighs and lips.

Poetry indeed! These long, racy, unrhymed verses did not look like any poetry the provincial law students had ever seen, no matter what Emerson or the bluestocking Fanny Fern wrote.

The talk of Whitman that animated the law office during the unseasonably warm spring of 1857 relieved the furious, anguished discussion of the Supreme Court's recent decision about Dred Scott, which aroused Lincoln from a spell of political torpor. Yet even Scott's fate led them back to Leaves of Grass:

I am the hounded slave, I wince at the bite of the dogs,

Hell and despair are upon me, crack and again crack the marksmen,

I clutch the rails of the fence, my gore dribs, thinned with the ooze of my skin . . .

The argument over Whitman did not differ much in Springfield from the dispute in Boston and New York. Was this poetry? Then there arose the livelier controversy over the book's brazen immodesty. Was Leaves of Grass indecent? Many of the verses sounded shameless, unfit for mixed company. Take for example the anonymous woman watching twenty-eight young men bathing by the shore, who comes "Dancing and laughing along the beach" to caress their naked bellies:

They do not know who puffs and declines with pendant and bending arch,

They do not think whom they souse with spray.

Was this Walt Whitman actually depicting a sexual act outlawed everywhere but in the debaters' dreams? It was shocking, pornographic. The men wondered whether such a book should be allowed on library shelves, or in homes where women and children might casually be seduced by it. Who was responsible for the corruption of morals: the author, the printer, the Chicago bookseller, or buyers of Leaves of Grass like Billy Herndon?

The students wrangled, and read the poems aloud, with Herndon sometimes acting as Whitman's advocate, other times as an impartial referee. Visitors dropping by, such as Dr. Newton Bateman, superintendent of schools, would join in the discussion provoked by lines such as:

A woman waits for me-she contains all, nothing is lacking,

Yet all were lacking if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the right man were lacking.

Lincoln worked quietly at his desk, raking his coarse hair with his long fingers, or he came and went, apparently oblivious to the disturbance the new book was causing in the workplace. Having lost a year to politics, stumping for the Republican John Frémont during the presidential campaign of 1856, advocating "free soil, free labor and free men," he had a lot of catching up to do in his neglected law practice. He was also having a spell of depression, "the hypochondria," as it was called in those days. This mood afflicted him periodically, often between periods of intense business or creative work. So he turned his back on the students, and Herndon and Dr. Bateman, as they challenged one another's taste in literature and questioned one another's morals, reading passages of Leaves of Grass and attacking or defending Whitman as the spirit, or the letter, moved them. The poet was utterly uninhibited, whether he was describing himself, or addressing the President:

Walt Whitman, an American, one of the roughs, a kosmos,

Disorderly, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking, breeding,

No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women, or apart from

them-no more modest than immodest

. . .

I speak the pass-word primeval, I give the sign of democracy,

By God! I will accept nothing which all cannot have their counterpart

of on the same terms.

Have you outstript the rest? Are you the President?

It is a trifle-they will more than arrive there every one, and still pass on.

One day, after the debaters had departed, a few clerks, including Henry Rankin, remained, copying documents. Lincoln rose from his desk. This was always a sight because sitting down Lincoln appeared to be of average height, but his limbs were so disproportionately long that when he unfolded and stretched them it was as if a giant had sprung up out of a common man.

"Quite a surprise occurred," Rankin recalled, in a memoir written years later. Lincoln picked up the book of poems that had been disturbing the peace and began to read, as he rarely did, in devoted silence, for more than half an hour by the Regulator clock. When the pressure of perusing the poetry silently became more than Lincoln could endure, he thumbed back to the first pages of Leaves of Grass and began reading aloud, in that tenderly expressive voice with the Kentucky accent and continual undercurrent of whimsical humor.

I celebrate myself,

And what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul,

I lean and loafe at my ease, observing a spear of summer grass.

The light of afternoon streamed through the office windows, gilding the dust motes.

Houses and rooms are full of perfumes-the shelves are crowded with perfumes,

I breathe the fragrance myself, and know it and like it,

The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it.

The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the distillation, it is odorless,

It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it,

I will go to the bank by the wood, and become undisguised and naked,

I am mad for it to be in contact with me.

The smoke of my own breath,

Echos, ripples, buzzed whispers, love-root, silk-thread, crotch, vine

My respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart . . .

"His rendering," Rankin remembered, "revealed a charm of new life in Whitman's versification." Here and there Lincoln found a verse too coarse, a line or phrase he felt the poet might have avoided. But on the whole he "commended the new poet's verses for their virility, freshness, unconventional sentiments, and unique forms of expression."

Lincoln put the book back down on the office table, desiring Herndon to leave Whitman there where he might not get lost in the tide of books, newspapers, and documents. "Time and again, when Lincoln came in, or was leaving, he would pick it up, as if to glance at it for only a moment, but instead he would often settle down in a chair and never stop reading aloud such verses or pages as he fancied."

Once Lincoln made the mistake of taking Leaves of Grass home. The next morning he brought the book back, grimly remarking that he "had barely saved it from being purified in fire by the women." This anecdote goes a long way toward explaining the politician's lifelong reticence about the poet and his book. Of course, by "the women" he meant his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, who controlled nearly everything that went on inside the big, two-story house at the corner of Eighth and Jackson where they lived with their three boys.

It is uncertain what verses or pages Lincoln fancied. The feuds among Lincoln's early biographers, struggling over the soul of the martyred President, have few parallels in American letters. In 1928 a rival biographer, Reverend William E. Barton, in a popular book that took pains to disassociate Lincoln from Whitman, challenged Rankin's memory. As early as 1932, however, the scholar Charles Glicksberg, in Whitman and the Civil War, declared that Barton's book was "marked throughout by a hostile spirit toward Whitman" and discredited Barton's premise that Lincoln was unaware of Whitman's existence. Modern scholars, such as Whitman biographers Gay Wilson Allen and Jerome Loving, and David Herbert Donald, who wrote books on both Herndon and Lincoln, likewise have accepted Rankin's story in spite of Reverend Barton.

One of the points that authenticate Rankin's account is his dating of Lincoln's encounter with Leaves of Grass. Only in that year, two years after the first publication of Whitman's poems in 1855, would the ex-Congressman and future President Lincoln have had the freedom and inclination to study such a literary curiosity. Only in 1857 could the reading of Whitman have produced such an impact on his oratory.

Billy Herndon, who knew Lincoln better perhaps than any man in Lincoln's day, said he was the rare man without vices, but with a flagrant disregard for propriety, "the appropriateness of things." He was so heedless of his appearance that he forgot to comb his coarse black hair. He cared so little about clothing that sometimes he wouldn't wear this piece or that. After all, he was raised on a farm in Kentucky, barefoot. "He never could see the harm in wearing a sack-coat instead of a swallowtail to an evening party, nor could he realize the offense of telling a vulgar yarn if a preacher happened to be present."

He came to St. Mary's County Maryland, then to Dorchester County, Maryland, and finally to Rappahannock County, Virginia where he died before Nov. 14, 1679.

He was given his title of Colonel officially by the house of Burgesses of Virginia. As captain with Colonel John Washington, Captian John Lee, William Moseley, and Robert Beverly, he was appointed to settle the bounds of Northumberland and Westmoreland counties.

As Colonel of Rappanhannock County in 1675, the Royal Council of Virginia appointed him one of a commission to employ Indians in defense of the coloney. He was Burgess for Lancaster County 1677 and speaker of the house. He married Rebecca, who became administratrix of his will, the appraisement being made at "Exeter Lodge."
 ~1643 - 1702 Rebecca Hussey 59 59 On 3 Nov 1679, Rebecca Travers wills to her goddaughter, Rebecca Bonge, goods to be delivered to her either upon the death of Rebecca Travers or the marriage of Rebecca Bonge. (widow Rebecca Travers married John Rice shortly after this date).

In 1688 a William Bengee (alias) Barber brought suit against John Rice and his wife Rebecca (widow of Col. William Travers) for release from servitude. A Rappahanock Court order dated April 4, 1688 ordered William Benge to appear at next court to answer to the said Rice. On May 2, 1688 a William Benge, servant to William Travers, was deemed to be free. 1628 - 1702 Isaac Allerton 74 74 Isaac was among nine men in the seventh class to graduate from Harvard in 1650. By 1653 he was active in his father's trading activities. Following the death of his mother (Fear) in 1633, Isaac (Jr.) was raised by his grandfather William Brewster. Brewster died in 1644 and it is not known who cared for Isaac (Jr.), who would have been 14 years old. In order to enter Harvard, Isaac (Jr.) needed to demonstrate a certain level of academic achievement and secondly, the recommendation from a prominent individual(s). Allerton (senior) had the wealth for his son's education and it is suspected that William Brewster, who had the largest library in Plymouth, provided the education and recommendation needed to be accepted in Harvard.

Isaac (Jr.) married Elizabeth from New Haven as early as 1652. They had two children while residing in New Haven, Elizabeth (b 1653), and Isaac (b 1655). As early as 1655 Isaac Allerton (Jr.) purchased land in Northumberland Country Virginia.

Isaac Allerton's (Jr.) wife Elizabeth died about 1660. He moved his young family to Virginia and married the widow Elizabeth Colclough about 1663. They had three children, Willoughby, Frances and Sarah, born in Virginia.

In 1665 Isaac Allerton (Jr.) was a major in the Virginia militia and second in command to Colonel John Washington (grandfather of our first president) engaged in Indian campaigns.

Isaac Allerton (Jr.) was a county Justice of the Peace, member of the Virginia House of Burgess 1676-7 and died in 1702 owning a 2,150-acre plantation on the Rappahanock River. Children in Isaac's (Jr.) first family returned to New Haven, married and their descendants distributed themselves throughout New England and New York. Children in Isaac's (Jr.) second family remained in Virginia, married and their descendants distributed themselves throughout Virginia.
 ~1635 - >1672 Elizabeth Willoughby 37 37 During her lifetime, Elizabeth Willoughby wedded three husbands. The first was Simon Overzee, a Dutch merchant who traded widely in the lower James River bain, the counties along the Chesapeake Bay, and Maryland.

Overzee died in 1660, and within the year Elizabeth took her second husband, George Colclough. The younger brother of a wealthy, well-placed London grocer, and himself a merchant, Colclough had settled in Northumberland County around 1651. By 1656 he was a magistrate and a burgess for the county. The marriage lasted until Colclough's death in 1662.

Thereupon, the widow Colclough married Isaac Allerton, the son of a Plymouth, Massachusetts merchant who also resided in Northumberand. She was Isaac Allerton's second wife. Either just before of soon after they were wed, Allerton was commissioned a justice of the peace. Subsequently he became a member of the House of Burgesses and eventually won a seat on the governor's council.

"The Old Dominion in the Seventeenth Century"

------------------
She was mentioned in an April 1672 letter from Governor CharlesCalvert to Cecilius, 2nd Lord Baltimore regarding Maryland landrights of her deceased first husband (Simon Overzee).
 ~1586 - 1659 Isaac Allerton 73 73 Isaac Allerton was about 34 years old when he came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620. He had been a long-time member of the Pilgrims' church in Leiden, and was recorded as having been a tailor from London. He married his first wife, Mary Norris, in Leiden, in 1611, and there had children Bartholomew, Remember and Mary, all of whom came on the Mayflower with him. He and Mary buried a child, not yet named, at St. Peters on 5 February 1620. Isaac Allerton had a sister Sarah in Leiden, who married to Mayflower passenger Degory Priest. Mayflower passenger John Allerton, also a Leiden resident, most likely was a relative as well, although the exact relation has not been discovered.

Isaac Allerton was one of the more active and prominent members of early Plymouth. He was elected as Governor Bradford's assistant in 1621, and continued as an assistant into the 1630s. In 1627, he was sent to negotiate the Plymouth Colony's buyout of the Merchant Adventurers, the investors who had originally funded (and had hoped to profit from) the Colony. The Colony was about £2500 in debt; a small group of Plymouth's residents, including Bradford, Brewster, Standish, Fuller, and Allerton, sought to assume the debt themselves in return for the rights to profit from the company. Allerton was sent to England to negotiate further, and would return to England on several more occasions. Unfortunately for the others, Allerton began to use his "free" trips to England to engage in some private gains, purchasing goods and selling them in the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth. He also used his capacity as Plymouth's designated negotiator to engage the Colony in a number of unapproved money-making schemes: he went so far as to purchase ships (which he partially used for his own private trading), and to attempt to negotiate grants and patents for trade--all at great cost to the company and none of it approved by the others back at Plymouth. When his trading schemes failed, the Company found itself in far greater debt than it ever started out with.

When Allerton's wife Fear died at Plymouth about 1634, and with the general ire of the Colony against him, he had little reason to stay. He moved to the New Haven Colony, and by 1644 had remarried to his third wife, Joanna Swinnerton. Isaac Allerton remained an active trader, and did regular business with the Dutch at New Netherland in modern-day New York. Records of his trading can be found in numerous other colonies as well, including Virginia and Barbados.

-------------------------------------------

Isaac Allerton (1585/1586 - 1659) was one of the original Pilgrims who came on the Mayflower to settle at Plymouth Colony in 1620.

He is believed to have been born in London, England, about 1585 or 1586 and was raised to become a tailor. A religious non-conformist, he apparently followed the Scrooby exiles to Leiden, Holland as a young man. There he married his first wife, Mary Norris, in November 1611.

Accompanying Isaac and Mary on the Mayflower were their three children: Bartholemew, Remember, and Mary, and a servant boy named John Hooke. Allerton's wife and Hooke died in the first winter at the Plymouth Colony. Allerton also had a stillborn son by his wife Mary while they were on the ship in Plymouth Harbor. Allerton remarried to Fear Brewster, the daughter of William Brewster in 1626. With her he had another son naming him Isaac Allerton Jr.

Bartholomew returned to England sometime after 1627.

Allerton quickly rose to prominence among the Pilgrim leaders, serving as William Bradford's assistant governor during the early years of the colony. After the adoption of a more formalized governmental structure in 1624, he served again as one of five assistant governors. In 1627, he became one of the eight "undertakers" of the colony's debt and made several voyages to London to negotiate with the colony's creditors.

While serving as the colony's business agent, Allerton began several business ventures of his own, relying on the colony's credit for collateral. These ventures failed, thus leaving his colleagues back in Plymouth saddled with a greatly increased debt. Also, Allerton was asked to bring over trade goods to sell to the natives, however, Allerton brought over retail goods to sell to the colonists and fishermen who came over every year.

Later on Allerton did not mark which goods were his and which belonged to the colony. When the goods were unloaded, Allerton took the most expensive items leaving the Plymouth colonists with the cheaper goods.

In 1629 Allerton brought Thomas Morton back to New England, and allowed him to live in his house; this got the Plymouth colonists very upset. This rendered Allerton permanently persona non grata in Plymouth.

Bradford wrote: "Mr. Allerton played his own game and ran a course not only to the great wrong and determent of the Plantation... but abused them in England also in prejudice against the Plantation," and later on he wrote "Concerning Mr. Allerton's accounts. They were so large and intricate as they could not well understand them, much less examine and correct them without a great deal of time and help and his own presence, which was hard to get," and also "he screwed up his poor father-in-law's account".

Settling in Marblehead, Massachusetts, Allerton established a profitable fishing business. Fear Brewster died in 1634, and Allerton married Joanna Swinnerton sometime between 1634 and 1644. He was soon commanded by the Massachusetts authorities to leave the colony. He relocated to New Amsterdam in 1643. Two years later, he moved again to the new English settlement at New Haven, Connecticut, where he continued his activities as a merchant.

Allerton died in February 1659 in New Haven and was buried under the town common. Although his estate, when inventoried, appeared to be large, he was in fact found to have died insolvent.

Isaac Allerton in Marblehead, New Amsterdam and New Haven
by Robert Jennings Heinsohn, Ph.D., SMDPA

The activities of Isaac Allerton in Leiden and Plymouth are well known. Well known also are the circumstances concerning his dismissal as Plymouth's London agent. The purpose of this article is to piece together information describing his activities after he left Plymouth in 1631 until his death in 1659. To appreciate Allerton's activities it is useful to summarize developments in the English, Dutch and Swedish colonies during the time he pursued his trading activities.

Dutch, Swedish, English Rivalry

The Dutch and Swedes were rivals and built forts and settlements along the Delaware River to control trade. While rivals, they were united in their desire to prevent the English from creating competing settlements on the Delaware. The rivalry between Dutch and Swedes waxed and waned and it wasn't until 1655 when the Dutch gained the upper hand and eliminated Swedish influence. Complicating matters were treaties with Indians that often deeded the same land to different people at different times.

New Amsterdam – The Dutch West India Company (WIC) was chartered in 1621. The company claimed all the land between the Connecticut and Delaware Rivers as, New Netherlands, and built trading stations on the Hudson (North) and Delaware (South) Rivers. While English and Dutch colonies were organized for trade, they were governed differently. The English colonies at Plymouth, New Haven and Massachusetts were established for trade and conversion of Indians to Christianity. The English colonies a nonconformist religious ethos from which evolved the concepts of self-government. The Dutch on the other hand, organized colonies as business ventures requiring... "...peopling the colony ...expanding to unsettled parts increasing profit and trade..." Trade was to be "free" providing it was conducted in WIC vessels, and subject to freight charges, 15% export and 10% import duties set by WIC. New Amsterdam was the colony on Manhattan Island and the colonists were considered WIC employees subject to the authority of the Director-General who was accountable only to the company directors in the Netherlands. The Director-General and two administrators were advised by a council of five personally chosen colonists. Fort Orange (Albany, NY) was settled in 1623, Fort Nassau on the east side of the Delaware River (Camden, NJ), was settled in 1625, later abandoned but reoccupied in 1633. In 1626, Peter Minuit the first Director-General of New Amsterdam (1626-1631) purchased 22,000 acres of land from the Manatans Indians for 60 guilders ($24) worth of trinkets. Dutch families were assigned land and provided farm equipment, animals and supplies. Prescribed amounts of their agricultural products were required as repayment. In 1628 New Amsterdam contained 270 people. In 1638 William Kieft became the third Director-General and served until 1645 when he was replaced by Peter Stuyvesant.

New Sweden – The first major settlement on the lower Delaware Bay, Swanendael (Lewes, DE), was undertaken by the Dutch in 1631 for whaling and growing tobacco and grain. The settlement was abandoned after Indians destroyed it and massacred the inhabitants. In 1632 Swedish, Dutch and German stockholders formed the New Sweden Company and claimed land surrounding the Delaware Bay and River to trade for furs and tobacco. In 1638 the company financed Fort Christina (Wilmington, DE) and placed it under the command of Peter Minuit. From 1638-43 tobacco became the most profitable product sent to Sweden.

Peter Minuit (1580-1638)
In 1641, the New Sweden Company purchased the WIC interests in Fort Nassau. In 1643 settlements were built on Timicum Island in the Delaware River (Essington, PA) and Fort Elfsborg (Salem, NJ). By 1646 New Sweden contained 200 inhabitants. Stuyvesant began to recognize that prosperous New Sweden was adversely affecting the Dutch fur trade. In 1648 he constructed Fort Beversreed on the west side of the Delaware near the mouth of the Schuykill River (Philadelphia, PA) and in 1651 he built Fort Casimir (New Castle, DE) south and upstream of Fort Christina to control all ships on the Delaware River. In 1654 new settlers from Sweden expelled the Dutch from Fort Casimir. Stuyvesant retaliated in 1655 be sending seven armed ships and 317 soldiers newly arrived from Holland to put the New Sweden forts under siege and forced their surrender. After 17 years, New Sweden passed into Dutch hands. Stuyvesant permitted the Swedish and Finish colonists to continue as a "Swedish Nation" governed by a court of their choosing, free to practice religion, organize a militia, retain their land holdings and trade with the Indians. All the Dutch settlements in North America passed into English hands after the English seized New Amsterdam in 1664. The independent "Swedish Nation" continued until 1681 when William Penn received a charter for Pennsylvania and Delaware.

New Haven – Theophilus Eaton was a wealthy merchant and governor of the Eastland Company in London. He became interested in New England colonization and was one of the original patentees of the Massachusetts Colony. His longstanding friend, John Davenport, minister of a large London congregation, was persecuted by Bishop Lourd for his nonconformist views. Eaton joined Davenport and his congregation immigrating to New England, arriving in Boston Harbor in 1637. The congregation became dissatisfied with the Massachusetts Colony's severe practices and was given permission by Governor Winthrop to establish the colony, New Haven, even though the Dutch laid claim to the Quinnipiac harbor. The English did not have a patent but the settlers purchased land from the Indians in November 1638. Within a few years New Haven settlers founded settlements along the Connecticut coast and at numerous locations throughout eastern Long Island. A group of settlers in New Haven wished to establish a fur trading station on the Delaware River. While they did not have a patent, 20 families purchased land from the Indians in 1641 on the east side of the Delaware River near the Dutch Fort Nassau (Camden, NJ) opposite the mouth of the Schuykill River and at Varkens Kill, south of the Swedish Fort Christina. Disagreement arose with the Swedes in Fort Christina and the English settlers were asked to swear allegiance to Sweden or return to New Haven. In addition, the Dutch did not want competing English settlements south of New Amsterdam and in 1643 sent forces to seize the settler's ships and supplies and transport them to New Amsterdam whereupon they returned to New Haven. The smaller English settlement at Varkens Kill was allowed to remain. In 1654 some New Haven settlers made plans for a second expedition to build a settlement on the Delaware River based on their 1641 agreement with Indians and asked the Dutch for permission. The request was denied.

Allerton's Activities in Marblehead, 1631-1636

In 1630/1, Bradford dismissed Allerton as Plymouth's London business agent because he betrayed the colony's trust by overcharging, mishandling the colony's finances and increasing the colony's debt without approval. Believing his work was misunderstood and unappreciated, Allerton decided to trade for himself. Allerton's stature in the colony was substantial, and he continued living in Plymouth with his wife and children and was elected Assistant Governor in 1633/34. At this time Allerton was the wealthiest man in Plymouth and the largest taxpayer.

In June 1632 Allerton and James Sherley (an original Merchant Adventurer and Undertaker) formed a trading company and built trading stations on the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers. In September 1632 Allerton and Moses Maverick (1611-1685, husband of his oldest daughter, Remember, 1614-1652/56) sailed the White Angel (leased from James Sherley) into the harbor at Marblehead. Allerton and Maverick purchased fishing vessels, built a warehouse and quarters for fishermen. By 1633 they had five men and eight boats fishing in the harbor. In 1633 they built a second warehouse and fisherman's quarters at Machias on Maine's north coast. Maverick and Allerton were among the original settlers of Marblehead.

In 1633/44 Allerton experienced a series of misfortunes. The French and Indians destroyed his fishing facilities in Machias and one of his ships was lost at sea while trading with France. In February 1634 the living quarters housing Allerton and his fishermen in Marblehead was destroyed by fire. Plymouth suffered an epidemic and Allerton's second wife, Fear, daughter of William Brewster, died of fever in December 1634. Allerton conveyed his Plymouth property at Rocky Nook (later called Kingston) to his youngest daughter Mary (1616-1699) and her husband Thomas Cushman (1607/08-1691). Allerton angered the Massachusetts Colony General Court by embracing freethinking religious views. In addition, he employed as secretary, Thomas Morton of "Merrymount," whose religious beliefs and unacceptable personal behavior caused him to be involuntarily returned to England in 1629. In addition, Morton and Allerton befriended Roger Williams whose extreme separatist views offended the Puritan ministers. Williams was banished and established a colony in Providence, RI. In March 1635 the civil authorities ordered Allerton to leave Marblehead and in May he conveyed his Marblehead fishing properties to Moses Maverick and moved to New Amsterdam. Moses remained in Marblehead to become a leader in New England's fishing industry, and one of Marblehead's leading citizens holding many positions of civic authority throughout his life.

Allerton's Activities in New Amsterdam, 1636-1646

Between 1636 and 1642 Allerton's activities are not well known. There is not evidence that he had a permanent home in New Amsterdam. He may have traded for himself, or the WIC, or for wealthy Dutch family trading companies in New Amsterdam.

New Amsterdam in 1651
Engraving by Joost Hartgers
Allerton established good relations with Director-General William Kieft and was granted "burger privileges" as a resident of New Amsterdam. One of the earliest records of Allerton's trade in New Amsterdam was trading corn with Director-General William Kieft in 1639. In 1642 Allerton sold his bark, Hope, to New Amsterdam residents Govert Loockermans and Cornelius Leendertsen. Allerton and Loockermans became partners in trading and in 1643 were granted permission to buy land on the east side of Broadway, which they sold shortly thereafter. Loockermans became a wealthy landholder, and influential in the governance of New Amsterdam, both before and after being seized by the English.

Director-General William Kieft was an autocrat and ruled New Amsterdam in an arbitrary fashion, generating animosity throughout the colony. In 1643 a minor altercation with Indians evolved into a serious uprising followed by an ugly slaughter of Weckquaskeek Indians on Manhattan Island. Kieft feared a major Indian assault. Allerton was asked by Kieft to join a "group of 8 men" to help New Amsterdam. Because he was English and respected in New Haven, Kieft sent Allerton and another Englishman to New Haven in 1643 to ask for men and materials to help defend New Amsterdam. In addition, the "group of 8" was asked to propose measures to improve civility and law-and-order in New Amsterdam. New Haven refused to send men to support the Dutch but Kieft entered into an agreement with the Indians in 1645 that settled the dispute. Because of Kieft's dictatorial manner, several of the eight men petitioned the WIC directors to recall Kieft as Director-General. In time Kieft was replaced by Peter Stuyvesant, and the men initiating the recall petition were accused of insurrection and faced punishment. Allerton was the second signatory of the petition but was not the group's primary spokesman. In 1646, Allerton established a permanent residence in New Haven.

Allerton was unique among all the 17th century New England trader merchants because he was an influential resident in both New Amsterdam and New Haven. As a resident in both colonies, he engaged in trade free of the restraints New Amsterdam imposed on English traders, and New Haven imposed on Dutch traders. Thus Allerton was able to trade in English colonies in North America, Swedish and Dutch settlements on the Delaware River. Trade records show that he also traded in ports in England and the Netherlands, Curacao, the Barbados, Virginia, New Amsterdam, New England and Canada. During the testy years when New Amsterdam and New Sweden were at sword's points, Allerton traded in New Sweden while not antagonizing the Dutch and obtained goods that he transported to New Amsterdam for shipment to Europe in Dutch ships. Other English traders were less successful from trading with the Swedish and Dutch on the Delaware.

Allerton's Activities in New Sweden, 1644-1655

Ships from Sweden were unable to provide a reliable stream of supplies to the New Sweden settlements and the settlers depended on visits from Dutch trader merchants. Using his sloop, Allerton began trading in New Sweden and remained one of its principal and reliable traders until he retired. In January 1644 Allerton sold goods at Fort Christina. In June 1644 he sold 11,346 pounds of tobacco for 5 stivers per pound (Dutch money, 20 stivers = 1 guilder). In the fall of 1645 he returned to collect his outstanding accounts and sold 14 bushels of barley seed, a pair of millstones and Dutch bushel measures. In the fall of 1647 Allerton returned to collect 3,800 florin (British money, florin = 2 shillings) on his accounts. In 1651 Allerton was a witness to an agreement in which the Indians granted the Dutch land south of Fort Casimir. In 1654 Allerton sold 13,519 pounds of Virginian tobacco at 9 stivers per pound and if the Swedes were unable to receive a gross profit of 7 stivers per pound that they expected in Europe, he agreed to reduce his price. In 1654/6 Allerton acted as courier and interpreter for the Governors of New Haven and New Sweden concerning permission for the English to build a settlement on the Delaware based on an agreement the English made with the Indians in 1641. The request was refused. In 1655 Allerton brought food, vinegar, hops to Christina on credit. In 1656 he transported goods from Christina for sale in New Amsterdam. These trading practices illustrate a way for the Governor of New Sweden ensured steady visits from merchant traders. Using both credit and currency the Governor knew that the trader merchants would return to redeem credit owed them. For their part, Allerton and other trader merchants offered credit to ensure that their return with new supplies would be welcomed.

Owing to the shortage of European currency and manufactured goods in New Sweden, Indian wampum became a common medium of exchange in the fur trade. Wampum were beads Indians made from clam shells and strung on strings, woven into belts or sewn on garments as ornaments. Indians along the Delaware River valued wampum made by New England Indians from clam shells found in the Narragansett Bay and from the shores of Long Island Sound. Making wampum was a time-consuming craft in which the Narrgansetts excelled. Wampum made by the English was inferior and less valuable in trade. Indians with whom New Sweden traded prized New England wampum as the medium of exchange in trade for furs. Allerton acquired New England wampum extensively, he often acted as a courier carrying passengers, important documents, letters of credit between Dutch, English and Swedish colonies.

In 1654 Cromwell sent two ships and 900 men to seize New Amsterdam by force. When the ships were anchored in Boston harbor Allerton learned that the attack would begin in a few weeks and informed Director-General Peter Stuyvesant who began to assemble a force to defend the colony. Cromwell and the government in the Netherlands signed a treaty of allegiance and the attack was called off.

Allerton's Warehouse in New Amsterdam, 1646-1655

In 1646 Allerton purchased a narrow, 500-ft strip of waterfront property on the East River a mile north of the tip of Manhattan and constructed a two-story warehouse and dock. The warehouse was managed by George Woolsey from Yarmouth, England. The warehouse at 1700 Pearl Street became known as "Allerton's Building" and was a favorite place where English traders convened when conducting business in New Amsterdam. The northern end of the land was called Peck's Slip where a ferry provided service across the East River to Brooklyn. In 1654 the house was used as an almshouse for boys and girls from the Netherlands "bound-out" for employment in New Amsterdam. In 1656 Woolsey received permission to sell beer and wine and to operate the house as an inn. After Allerton's death, George Woolsey lived in the house until 1668. The building survived into the 18th century at a location that today would be near the South Street Sea Port and the intersection of the South and Peck Slip Streets, several hundred feet south of the Brooklyn Bridge. By 1655 Allerton was recorded to be the sixth wealthiest resident in New Amsterdam.

Allerton Married Joanne Swinnerton

Sometime before 1644 Allerton married his third wife, Joanna Swinnerton in New Haven. Joanna is believed to be the widow of Job Swinnerton, admitted to Salem in 1637. In 1646, Allerton asked Bradford, Brewster, Winslow and Standish to be his agents and sell his lands, goods and cattle to clear all his debts and demands of the undertakers that were uncovered in 1630/31. In 1646 Allerton became a permanent resident of New Haven where he and his wife lived for the remainder of his life except for trading voyages and occasional visits to his warehouse in New Amsterdam. In March 1647 Isaac and Joanna were assigned seats in the New Haven meeting house. He built a stately home with four porches and many fireplaces on two acres of land on the creek on the northwest corner of Union Street between Cherry Street on the north, and Fair Street on the south. The home was located among the grand homes of Davenport, Eaton and other original New Haven settlers. In 1661 Allerton's widow, Joanna sheltered Edward Whaley and William Goffe, the Regicide Judges who sentenced Charles I to be beheaded and who were now being pursued by the agents for Charles II to be returned for trial in England.

Allerton Died in 1659

Isaac Allerton died early in the year 1659. He was buried in the old Burying Ground at New Haven that occupied the square in the heart of the present city upon which stands the Old State House and three churches. No monument or gravestone have been found. The burgomasters of New Amsterdam appointed Allerton's son, and his business associates, Loockermans, Leendertsen, George Woolsey, and John Lawrence to be curators of his trading business which included ships, warehouse and real estate in New Amsterdam. In spite of his reputation as one of New England's wealthiest merchants, Allerton died insolvent with debts to creditors located in many of the ports in which he traded. Allerton's son purchased his father's New Haven home from his creditors and deeded it to his stepmother, Joanna, in 1660. Joanna died in 1682. The home was taken down in 1740.

Allerton's Son Isaac, 1630-1702

Allerton had two sons, His first son, Bartholomew, was born in Leiden (ca 1612), sailed on the Mayflower but retuned to England after 1627. His second son, Isaac, was born to Fear in 1630 and was among nine men in the seventh class to graduate from Harvard in 1650. By 1653 he was active in his father's trading activities. Following the death of his mother (Fear) in 1633, Isaac (Jr.) was raised by his grandfather William Brewster. Brewster died in 1644 and it is not known who cared for Isaac (Jr.), who would have been 14 years old. In order to enter Harvard, Isaac (Jr.) needed to demonstrate a certain level of academic achievement and secondly, the recommendation from a prominent individual(s). Allerton (senior) had the wealth for his son's education and it is suspected that William Brewster, who had the largest library in Plymouth, provided the education and recommendation needed to be accepted in Harvard.

Isaac (Jr.) married Elizabeth __ from New Haven as early as 1652. they had two children while residing in New Haven, Elizabeth (b 1653), Isaac (b 1655). As early as 1655 Isaac Allerton (Jr.) purchased land in Northumberland Country Virginia. Isaac Allerton's (Jr.) wife Elizabeth died about 1660. He moved his young family to Virginia and married the widow Elizabeth Colclough about 1663. They had three children, Willoughby, Frances and Sarah, born in Virginia. In 1665 Isaac Allerton (Jr.) was a major in the Virginia militia and second in command to Colonel John Washington (grandfather of our first president) engaged in Indian campaigns. Isaac Allerton (Jr.) was a county Justice of the Peace, member of the Virginia House of Burgess 1676-7 and died in 1702 owning a 2,150-acre plantation on the Rappahanock River. Children in Isaac's (Jr.) first family returned to New Haven, married and their descendants distributed themselves throughout New England and New York. Children in Isaac's (Jr.) second family remained in Virginia, married and their descendants distributed themselves throughout Virginia.

Conclusions

There are no portraits of Isaac Allerton and very few reports about him written by people who actually knew him. In the words of James Sherley:

    As an agent, Mr. Allerton appears to have been indefatigable in his attempts to promote the interests of his employers. He was a person of uncommon activity, address and enterprise.


In the absence of more information, it is possible to speculate about Allerton's personality based on his accomplishments. His vigorous trading practices would be commonplace today but in the 1620s they offended the Pilgrim's collectivist attitude and he was censured by Plymouth. His freethinking religious views would also be commonplace today but in 1634/5 they offended Puritan sensibilities and caused his banishment from Marblehead. Having been burned twice, Allerton's activities in New Haven and New Amsterdam display prudence borne of experience. He avoided personal involvement in acrimonious political disputes within, and between the colonies. Caution enabled him to remain above controversy to pursue trading and become a prominent and trusted trader merchant in three rival colonies that were often sword points. Records show that he contributed financially to civic activities in both New Amsterdam and New Haven when called upon during emergencies and trough regular assessments.

Some historians use the words "unlucky" and "unscrupulous" to describe Allerton, but the historical records of New Amsterdam, New Haven and New Sweden contain no evidence that his trading practices were unscrupulous. Johan Rising, Governor of New Sweden recorded that Allerton drove a "sharp bargain," but so did all trader merchants of the time. While other men rose to prominence as political leaders, Allerton achieved success in the world of commerce. He overcame adversity three times in his life and recovered to build four successful careers. After fleeing Suffolk County England, Allerton, Brewster and Priest displayed such enterprise in the Netherlands that they were granted honorary citizenship in Leiden. Allerton survived the Mayflower voyage and the horrific first year in Plymouth and rose to become Assistant Governor and London agent. He left Plymouth in disgrace, began a thriving fishing enterprise in Marblehead only to be expelled because of his freethinking religious views. Beginning anew for the fourth time he became one of New England's most successful trader-merchants and a prominent citizen of both New Haven and New Amsterdam.

Allerton was an uncommon man of unusual talent who lived a long and active life. His resourcefulness to overcome adversity suggests that he should be counted as one of the remarkable men in early 17th century America. He mastered the world of commerce and rose above the political conflicts that embroiled the English, Swedish and Dutch colonies to become a respected citizen in all these colonies. Many of Allerton's contemporaries refer to him as the first "Yankee trader" and "more Dutch than English." He epitomized what today is called the entrepreneur. One suspects that if Allerton were alive today, he would recognize, indeed master, the exotic financial activities such as off-shore limited partnerships, investment hedging, derivatives and other business practices that characterize today's global economy.

Dr. Robert Jennings Heinsohn is Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he and his wife Anne have lived in Pennsylvania Furnace, PA, since 1963. He is a descendant of Isaac Allerton, John Howland, John Tilley, and Robert Cushman, the chief agent of the Pilgrims in London.

Isaac Allerton Senior John Harriman  ~1606 - <1634 Fear Brewster 28 28 Fear Brewster was the third daughter of Mayflower pilgrim William Brewster and his wife Mary. She was named Fear because at the time of her birth, the Puritans were holding secret meetings and were under constant threat of arrest. Her early years, and indeed her whole life, were full of unrest. In 1608 she moved, along with the other pilgrims, to Amsterdam (and later Leiden).

Fear was only 14 when her parents and two younger brothers left for America on the Mayflower. She was left in the care of her older siblings, Jonathan (born in 1593) and Patience (born in 1600). Jonathan joined the pilgrims in 1621 onboard the Fortune. Fear arrived in America with Patience onboard the Anne in July 1623.

Fear married Isaac Allerton, another Mayflower pilgrim, around 1626. He was 20 years her senior. They had a son, Isaac Allerton Jr., born about 1627. There is speculation that they had a daughter, Sarah Allerton, who was baptised on August 13, 1633 and probably died in infancy.

Fear died young, but the exact date is unknown. She died sometime before her sister Patience's death December 12, 1634. ~1643 John Rice ~1660 - ~1687 William Travers 27 27 1686/7, 14 Feb: William TRAVERS of Rappahannock Co., VA Gent., made his will.

D. ~1620 Mary Norris She died in the first winter at the Plymouth Colony. ~1566 - 1644 William Brewster 78 78 William Brewster was a Pilgrim colonist leader and preacher who came from Scrooby, in north Nottinghamshire and reached what became the Plymouth Colony in the Mayflower in 1620. He is generally considered to be the most famous of the pilgrims. He was accompanied by his wife, Mary Brewster, and his sons, Love Brewster and Wrestling Brewster. Son Jonathan joined the family in November 1621, arriving at Plymouth on the ship Fortune, and daughters Patience and Fear arrived in July 1623 aboard the "Anne."

Scrooby Manor was in the possession of the Archbishops of York. Brewster's father, William senior, had been the estate bailiff for the archbishop for thirty-one years from around 1580. With this post went that of postmaster, which was a more important one than it might have been in a village not situated on the Great North Road, as Scrooby was then.

William Junior studied briefly at Peterhouse, Cambridge before entering the service of William Davidson in 1584. In 1585, Davidson went to the Netherlands to negotiate an alliance with the States-General. In 1586, Davidson was appointed assistant to Queen Elizabeth's Secretary of State Francis Walsingham, but in 1587 Davidson lost the favour of Elizabeth, after the beheading of her cousin (once removed) Mary, Queen of Scots.

Cambridge was a centre of thought concerning religious reformism, but Brewster's time in the Netherlands, in connection with Davidson's work, gave him opportunity to hear and see more of reformed religion. While, earlier in the sixteenth century, reformers had hoped to amend the Anglican church, by the end of it, many were looking toward splitting from it.

On Davidson's disgrace, Brewster returned to Scrooby. There, from 1590 to 1607, he held the position of postmaster. As such he was responsible for the provision of stage horses for the mails, having previously, for a short time, assisted his father in that office. By the 1590s, Brewster's brother, James, was a rather rebellious Anglican priest, vicar of the parish of Sutton and Lound, in Nottinghamshire. From 1594, it fell to James to appoint curates to Scrooby church so that Brewster, James and leading members of the Scrooby congregation were brought before the ecclesiastical court for their dissent. They were set on a path of separation from the Anglican Church. From about 1602, Scrooby Manor, Brewster's home, became a meeting place for the dissenting Puritans. In 1606, they formed the Separatist Church of Scrooby.

Restrictions and pressures applied by the authorities convinced the congregation of a need to emigrate to the more sympathetic atmosphere of Holland, but leaving England without permission was illegal at the time, so that departure was a complex matter. On its first attempt, in 1607, the group was arrested at Scotia Creek, but in 1608 Brewster and others were successful in leaving from The Humber. In 1609, he was selected as ruling elder of the congregation.

Initially, the Pilgrams settled in Amersterdam, and worshipped with the Ancient Church of Francis Johsonson and Henry Ainsworth. Offput by the bickering between the two, though (which ultimately resulted in a division of the Church), the Pilgrams left Amsterdam and moved to Leiden, after only a year.

In Leiden, the group managed to make a living. Brewster taught English and later, in 1616-1619, printed and published religious books for sale in England though they were proscribed there, as the partner of one Thomas Brewer. In 1619, the printing type was seized by the authorities under pressure from the English ambassador Sir Dudley Carleton and Brewster's partner was arrested. Brewster escaped and, with the help of Robert Cushman, obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company on behalf of himself and his colleagues.

In 1620 he joined the first group of Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower on the voyage to North America. When the colonists landed at Plymouth, Brewster became the senior elder of the colony, serving as its religious leader and as an advisor to Governor William Bradford.

As the only university educated member of the colony, Brewster took the part of the colony's religious leader until a pastor, Ralph Smith, arrived in 1629. Thereafter, he continued to preach irregularly until his death in April 1644.

Brewster was granted land amongst the islands of Boston Harbor, and four of the outer islands (Great Brewster, Little Brewster, Middle Brewster and Outer Brewster) now bear his name.
 Mary William Brewster married Mary (whose maiden name is unknown) there is some speculation as to her maiden name, with the most common being Love or Wentworth.

The maiden name of William Brewster's wife has not been proven. The claim it was Mary Wentworth rests solely on the fact that Mary Wentworth happened to live somewhat close to William Brewster in Scrooby, Nottingham. That is very shaky evidence to say the least. Further, it has been proposed that William Brewster may have married Mary Wyrall, but the evidence is just as flimsy for that marriage. There are no fewer than seven marriages from 1590-1610 that have been located in parish registers showing a William Brewster marrying a Mary. All, however, have been satisfactorily eliminated as probable candidates for the William and Mary (Brewster) who came on the Mayflower. So at present, there is no evidence to document who William Brewster's wife Mary actually was.
 Elizabeth She was Isaac Allerton's first wife. 1653 - 1740 Elizabeth 87 87 1655 Isaac Allerton Isaac Allerton is not named in his father's will. Under the primogeniture in force in Virginia at that time Isaac, if he were living, would have been entitled to a share of his father's estate even if he were not named in the will. There is no record he shared in the estate and it must be assumed he died childless before his father. ~1664 - 1724 Willoughby Allerton 60 60 Probate inventory for his grandson Willoughby Allerton (his son Isaac's son who died in 1759) is here:
http://xpda.com/family/etc/AllertonWilloughby1759Inventory.pdf ~1671 - >1731 Sarah Allerton 60 60 1653 - 1709 Hancock Lee 56 56 ~1703 - ~1750 Elizabeth Lee 47 47 1707 - <1768 Zachary Taylor 60 60 ~1743 - 1829 Richard Lee Taylor 85 85 1760 - 1822 Sarah Dabney Strother 62 62 1784 - 1850 Zachary Taylor 65 65 He was 12th President of the United States, 1849-50. He died in office and was succeeded by his Vice President Millard Fillmore.

 D. <1661 Simon Overzee D. <1663 George Colclough ~1593 - 1658 Thomas Willoughby 65 65 In 1610, as a young man of 17, Thomas Willoughby the immigrant left Rochester, Kent, England for Virginia. His age at the time of his migration suggests that he might have been a younger son in search of the advancement that the accident of birth had denied him. But whether or not he was entitled to be called a gentleman, as he was styling himself by the 1620s, is uncertain.

Willoughby's early years in the New World are clouded by a dearth of evidence. He may have done some soldiering prior to his coming or soon thereafter, for he was listed in the muster of 1624/25 as "Ensigne Thomas Willoby." By the 1620s, though, Willoughby clearly had begun to acquire land and political offices. Although his name does not appear in the land patent records until 1628, he had already sued out patents to three hundred acres of land as early as 1626. By the time he died, Willoughby had amassed over 3,600 acres of land by patent.

His military experiences probably account for his gradual insinuation into the colony's political life. In 1627 Governor George Yeardley and the Council of State appointed him to command a militia force sent to attack hostile Indians. There after, Willoughby served as a judge on one of the monthly courts that preceded the county court system, and he sat in the House of Burgesses.

After the General Assembly erected the county courts, he became one of the first justices of the peace in Lower Norfolk County, following its formation in 1637. By the 1640s he had been elevated to a seat on the Council of State, a post he apparently occupied until Interregnum.

In addition to these public duties, Willoughby performed other community services. For his neighbors he was one of the chief creditors in the county. As such, his name regularly appears in court records as a suitor in debt actions.

Since he also engaged in a wide range of commercial activities and even made frequent trips to London, it may be surmised that he was also a contact for city merchants as well. On more than one occasion, Willoughby was asked by county officials to do such tasks as buy law books for the court of recruit a minister from England.

Thomas Willoughby died in England sometime before August 1658. He left two daughters and a son, but since he died intestate, there is no record of how his property was distributed among his heirs.

The Old Dominion in the Seventeenth Century, Warren M. Billings, 1975
----------------------------------
Thomas Willoughby was from Rochester, Kent, England. He came to America in 1610 aboard The Prosperorous. He was among the first settlers in that area.

July 4, 1627, Ensigne Thomas Willoughby was ordered to command an attack on the Indians.
James City Court: "At this court was thought fit that we should draw out parties from all our plantations and go upon the Indians and cut down their corn, and further that we should set upon them all in one day, vizt. the first day of August next:
...
For the Chesapeakes, Ensigne Willoby
...

November 17, 1628, Ensigne Thomas Willoughby of Elizabeth City was awarded a land patent of 50 acres.

In 1628/29 Thomas Willoughby was assigned as a monthly court judge in Elizabeth City.

In 1629/30 Thomas Willoughby, William Kemp, and Thomas Hayrick were Burgesses for the Assembly, representing the Upper Part of Elizabeth City.

In 1631/32 Thomas Willoughby was a Burgesse for the Assembly, representing Waters Creek and the upper parrish of Elizabeth City.
 
In 1639 he was Justice of the Peace, and in 1640 he was a Member of the Council of State.

Captain Thomas Willoughby was granted 2,900 acres of land for the transportation of 28 people to Virginia.

In March, 1645- 46, the assembly ordered Capt. Edward Hill and Capt. Thomas Willoughby to go Maryland and demand the return of certain Virginians who had remained there without permission. While in Maryland, Hill was chosen governor by the insurrectionist party and held office for several months.

 Mary Smythe ~1505 William Brewster children: William and Henry. Maud Mann ~1505 William Smyth John Simkinson Joanna Swinnerton 1679 - ~1749 Joseph Cox 70 70 He was one of the two children referred to by the administrator of his father's estate as being "very small" at the time of his father's death. Joseph increased in stature, however, as the years went on and when he arrived at man's estate, married Catharine, daughter of Thomas and Deborah (Grover) Shepherd.

This matrimonial alliance introduced him to one of the oldest families of the colony. Catharine Shepherd was a great grand-daughter of William Lawrence Sr., one of the founders of Middletown, who is said to have been a son of Sir Henry Lawrence, President of Cromwell's Council, and Amy Peyton, whose family afterwards became prominent in Virginia.

In 1706, Thomas Cooper, a London merchant and one of the twenty-four proprietors of East Jersey, conveyed one-half of his proprietorship, or one forty-eighth part of all the lands in the Eastern division of New Jersey, with the exception of 5000 acres, to thirteen persons, resident in the township of Middletown.

The name of Joseph Cox and that of his brother James, appears in the deed of conveyance among the grantees who thus came into possession of a very extensive and valuable tract of land. The consideration named in the deed was only £260, but even that sum, in hard cash, was no doubt, of more value to an enterprising London merchant than an untamed wilderness three thousand miles away.

But whatever his point of view it is clear that the purchasers made an entirely safe and judicious investment. A year later, he became interested in the movement to dissolve the Assembly and to bring about a new election, and contributed £12 towards the fund, that was raised to further this object, his brother, James, contributing a liberal though somewhat smaller amount. How this money was used we are not informed. John Bowne who was the custodian of the fund, doubtless gave an account of his stewardship but was not required, apparently, to make public his disposition of the so-called " Blind Tack."

Thereafter his name occurs at intervals, in public records, for a period of forty years, chiefly in connection with the transfer of land, the witnessing of wills, and the recording of the ear mark with which his cattle were branded. The last conveyance that he is known to have made bears date of February 29, ( ?) 1747-8. when in consideration of £400 he gave to Matthias Johnson, his son-in-law, and Obadiah Bowne, yeomen, both of Middletown, a deed for certain property in Middletown, Shrewsbury and Barnegat, reserving as a burying ground for his posterity, one chain square, (in Middle- town?) where his wife and children were buried. Reference is made in the same instrument, to land in Middletown which he had previously given to his son Thomas.

That his death occurred soon after the above transaction, may be inferred from a town record of November 17, 1750, to the effect that "Matthias Johnson, Jr., used the ear mark of his grandfather, Joseph Cox," at that time, apparently, deceased.

Children : i. Thomas, ii. a daughter, wife of Matthias Johnson, and others whose names are not known.


~1646 - 1681 Thomas Cox 35 35 Thomas Cox was "a man of ability,education and prominence." He settled on Long Island, New York at the head of Newtown Creek in 1665. Then he moved to Monmouth New Jersey and in 1667 lived in Middletown. In 1668 he helped make laws for Middletown, and was a founder of the Baptist Church in Middletown.

------------------------------
Thomas Cox, was born, probably, in England. He died in Middletown, NJ, 1681; a resident of Newtown, Long Island, in 1665, as appears from his marriage license, issued in that year, by the Colonial Governor, Richard Nicolls, of New York. The following is a transcript made from the original document in the State Library at Albany, in 1908:

"Whereas I have received information of a mutual intent and agreement between Thomas Cox of Marshpath Kills in ye Lymmits of New Towne, and Elizabeth Blashford to enter into the state of matrimony, and that there lyeth no lawful obstacle or obligation on either part to hinder the performance thereof, I do hereby grant unto them Lycences so to do—and do also require one of ye Jus tices of ye peace of ye North Ryding of Yorkshire upon Long Island or ye Minister of some Parish therein to Joyne the said Thomas Cox and Elizabeth Blashford in Marryage, and to pronounce them man and wife and so to record them according to the law made in that behalf, for doing whereof this shall be sufficient warrant. Given under my hand and Seal at James Hart in New York this 22nd day of April, 1665. Rich. Nicolls."

No mention of his name occurs in the early records of Newtown,  nor is anything positively known as to the time or place of his birth, or the date of his arrival in the colony. From the Public Record Office in London, however, we learn that in 1650, one Thomas Cox, with two others, was licensed to pass to Virginia. There is also in possession of one of the descendants of Thomas Cox, of Newtown, an old plate, somewhat elaborately decorated, and bearing date of 1661, which has been handed down from generation to generation, and which is said to have been brought by one of the family, from Virginia. Beyond that, no clue to his antecedents has been discovered. Shortly after his marriage, he joined the colony which, during the summer and autumn of 1665, settled at Middletown and Shrewsbury, New Jersey.

The majority of those who took up land in Monmouth County, under the Nicolls patents and who organized these towns, were from Long Island and New England, the latter coming chiefly from Rhode Island. The settlers at Shrewsbury were, for the most part, Quakers ; at Middletown, the Baptists predominated. There is nothing to indicate that Thomas Cox was actively identified with either body, although his family and his descendants, for several generations, were of the Baptist faith, as many of them are to this day. Between the Baptists and the Quakers of that period, there appears to have been an entirely friendly feeling. Intermarriages were not unusual among them, and a community of interests, social, religious and political, had drawn them somewhat closely together.

His love for Elizabeth Blashford may perhaps have made him tolerant of her faith, if he did not accept it as his own. But whatever his religious predilections, he was, evidently, a just man. The lands which he acquired were guaranteed to him by the Ni- colls patent, but he recognized the prior right of the Indians to the property and paid them, in full, for the portions which were allotted to him.

His activity in local affairs dates from the beginning of the year 1667, when he was chosen one of the overseers of the fence. To what extent the lands of the early settlers were inclosed, does not appear, but it is evident from the frequent record of ear marks, that cattle were allowed to range at large, on lands that were owned in common.

The following entry was made in the book of the Town Clerk, January 4, 1668:

''Tho. Cocks his marke is the top of the right eare cntt off and a swallow taile and a hole in the left eare." From overseering the fences, he advanced another step in his public career, when in the following year, he was appointed "rate maker" of the town. Later, he was chosen to assist the constable, and still later, he became a town deputy. That he had a mind of his own may be inferred from the fact that, while serving in that capacity, he dissented from certain laws ordered at the town meeting.

"The habit of dissent appears to have been a family characteristic, inherited perhaps, from ancestors who had been trained in the school of Cromwell and who had caught the spirit of independence which he inspired in his followers. The next public office to which he was chosen was that of town overseer, which may have differed somewhat from that of town deputy, although the distinction is not quite clear. By this time, or a little later, he had made his mark in the world. He may have made it before, but it is certain that he made it on the 8th of November, 1673, for it appears on a document bearing that His mark date, and is thus recorded: Tho. Cockes. signum talis"

It would have been more gratifying to family pride if this suggestion of illiteracy had not been discovered. But the schoolmaster was not largely in evidence in his day, and comparatively few of the early pioneers had opportunity for acquiring even the rudiment? of an ordinary education. In spite of this handicap, many of them through sheer force of character, industry, and native ability, were able not only to accumulate wealth, but to exercise large influence in the social and political life of the communities in which thev lived, and Thomas Cox appears to have been of that number. Within a few years after his settlement at Middletown, he had become an extensive land owner and a recognized man of affairs in Monmouth ( ounty. In 1676, he was chosen a deputy, to meet the Governor and his Council at Woodbridge, a circumstance which seems to indicate that he was a man of some consequence and a representative citizen.

The occasion of his errand to Woodbridge is not a matter of record, but in the light of contemporary history, it is fair to assume that he appeared in support of the popular, as opposed to the proprietary interests.

He died in August, 1681, leaving a widow and six children, two of whom are described as being "very small." The necessity of caring for these small children, to say nothing of the others, the eldest of whom was only thirteen years old at the time, may have inclined the widow to entertain the proposition of a second marriage, shortly after her husband's death.

At all events, the days of her mourning were not unduly protracted. The administrator of the Cox estate appears to have lost no time in pressing his suit. Whatever considerations he may have urged, the following extract from the town records tells its own story of the speedy culmination of an exceptionally brief courtship.

"Tho. Ingham and ye wid. Elizabeth Cox were married by Cap. John bowne Justis of the peace in Middle Town, Sep. ye 9:1681."

This second marriage was terminated by the death of Ingham, in 1690-1. The children, by this time, had grown larger, and as there appears to have been no urgent need of a further matrimonial alliance, the presumption is that Elizabeth Ingham died a widow.

children: i. Thomas, ii. John, iii. James, iv. Joseph, and two others, probably daughters.

http://xpda.com/family/etc/The_Cox_Family_in_America.pdf 1715 - 1800 Mary Mount 85 85 Daughter of Thomas Mount of Schrewsbury (son of Matthias son of George). She was mother of Brigadier General James Cox of the Revolutionary Army, and great grand mother of Samuel Sullivan Cox (known as "Sunset Cox") who was a member of Congress, and United States minister to Turkey.  1753 - 1810 James Cox 56 56 He was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey, the son of Judge Joseph and Mary (Mount) Cox. He was an officer in the American Revolutionary War at the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, and was elected Brigadier General of the Monmouth Brigade after the war. He was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly from 1801 to 1807 and was its speaker from 1804.

He served as a Representative in the 11th United States Congress from 1809 until he died of a stroke on 12 September 1810 in Upper Freehold, New Jersey.

James Cox married Ann Potts (1757–1815), daughter of William and Amy (Borden) Potts, on 29 February 1776. They were the parents of thirteen children, including Ezekiel Taylor Cox, who was a member of the Ohio State Senate and father of United States Representative Samuel Sullivan Cox. 1671 - 1760 Mary 89 89 1634 - 1672 Thomas Willoughby 37 37 Thomas Willoughby II was born in Virginia in 1632. His father intended that he should be trained in a mercantile calling, for the elder Willoughby sent the boy to the Merchant Taylors' School in London when he was twelve.

The earliest evidence of Thomas II in the records of Lower Norfolk County occurs in April 1656, when he turned down an appointment to the bench, and a month later when he was fined for refusing jury duty.

His refusal of both responsibilities may have resulted from his royalist sympathies, a supposition that is borne out by his acceptance of a commission as a justice of the peace a year after Sir William Berkeley's restoration as governor in 1660.

Like his father, Willoughby held several other county posts during his tenure on the Lower Norfolk Court. A colonel in the county's militia, he also served one term as sheriff in 1666.

At the time of the Second Anglo-Dutch War he was one of the commissioners appointed to oversee the construction of a fort on the lower James River. But unlike the elder Willoughby, the son never served in the House of Burgesses or on the Council of State.

Sometime prior to 1659 young Willoughby married Sarah Thompson, daughter of a planter in Northumberland County. They had a son and a daughter who grew to adulthood. By 1672 Thomas Willoughby was dead at the age of 40.

"The Old Dominion in the Seventeenth Century"
-------------------------------

Legend has it that his wife awoke one morning following a terrific storm (possibly the "Harry Cane" of 1667) to see a point of land in front her home, where there had been only water the night before. The Willoughby family, it is said, were quick to apply for an addendum to the original land grant, giving them ownership of the "new" property.

Thomas was apprenticed as a merchant 1644-1647.

In 1656 he refused to be sworn as Justice of the Peace (Commissioner), and he was fined 150 pounds of tobacco for refusing jury duty.

In 1661 he served as a Commissioner, 1666 he was Sheriff, and in 1667 he was a Commissioner for Nansemonde Fort for the building of a fort there.

Thomas Willoughby II married Sarah Thompson, daughter of Richard Thompson. She and her sister Elizabeth, who married Peter Presly, inherited over 2000 acres from their father, which was assigned to their husbands.

Thomas and Elizabeth had two children, named Thomas and Elizabeth.

HEISLER, one of the enterprising, public-spirited young men of Wasco county, is a farmer living one mile southwest of Dufur. He is a native Oregonian, having been born in Prineville, June 3, 1879. His parents, sketches of whom will be found elsewhere in this work, were Monroe and Cynthia L. (White) Heisler.

Our subject attended district school two years in Prineville, and also the Dufur and Lagrande graded schools, and this education was supplemented by a year at Albany College, Albany, Oregon. Returning home he remained with his parents engaged in farm work and stock-raising, which business he has since followed successfully. In 1897 he purchased an interest in the property from "Grandpa" Heisler, and later purchased two hundred acres adjoining his land. They cultivate four hundred acres of wheat and barley, which averages forty bushels to the acre. They winter about one hundred head of cattle, and the same number of hogs. Our subject has a substantial story and a half frame house, supplied with the first barb-wire telephone in Wasco county, connecting at Dufur with long distance telephone.

Mr. Heisler was married August 26, 1900, to Eva L. Powell, born near Dufur, July 13, 1883, the daughter of Isaac J. and Adelia E. (Colver) Powell, the father a native of Illinois and the mother of Marshfield, Coos county, Oregon. Her father came to Oregon when a small boy, and is now a farmer at Tygh Valley. Mrs. Heisler has three brothers and four sisters. Our subject and his estimable wife have lost one daughter, Blanch Agatha, who died August 26, 1903, at the home, aged two years, one month and two days.

Fraternally Mr. Heisler is a member of Ridge-ly Lodge, No. 71, I.O.O.F., and W.O.W. Both are members of Star Lodge No. 23, Rebekahs, and Mrs. Heisler is a devoted member of the United Brethren church.

 ~1850 - 1920 Adelia Emily Colver 70 70 1792 - 1861 Theophilus Powell 68 68 He was on the "lost wagon train of 1845," where they ran across the "Lost Blue Bucket" gold mine, not recognizing the yellow pebbles in the creek as gold.

He was a preacher for the Methodist Church in Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Oregon.

---------------------------------
At the time of Theophilus' first preaching, the Methodist Church issued 1 year certificates to preach under.There was 1 in Virginia in 1935, Between 1838 and 1845, he received several more certificates in Missouri. In 1836 and 1837, Theophilus recieved a total of 450 acres in Land Grants. All but 50 acres was on Powell Creek, Kentucky. The other 50, was on Begus Creek, Kentucky. The land, however, was not productive, and sometime between 1838 and 1841, he moved to Missouri with his brother Allen and Allen's family.After arriving in Missouri, Theophilus started preaching again. he was a "Circuit Rider" type of minister on the American Frontier.He officiated at many marriages. Not long after going to Missouri, Allen's wife, Mary, became ill, and died, leaving Allen with 8 children. Soon after, Allen lost his life in a prairie fire he was fighting. Another of Theophilus' brothers came to Missouri and took the girls. Theophilus moved in with the boys. There were 5 boys. In 1941, Theophilus married a young widow, Rachael Center Tull. Her husband had died of tuberculosis, leaving her with a baby boy, William Tull. By 1843, They had 2 children of their own, Mary and Isaac. The young couple became discouraged farming, due to low farm prices and lack of markets. The area was rampant with Malaria cases. They started to hear stories about Oregon, and in 1845, they left Independence, Missouri by wagon train to Oregon. Rachael's mother, Mary Center, a sister Lucy, and 2 brothers went along.Their destination? Oregon City! By June 20,1845, they had reached the Platte River. The leader of the wagon train was Captain Solomon Tethrow. After only a few days, he resigned, and Captain English took his place. The roads at first were in good shape, fuel for the oxen, and water was plentiful. Things changed quickly. They travelled 10-20 miles a day, so the trip was going to be a long one.According to Palmer's Journal, at Independence, the wagon train company decided to hold an election to choose a pilot for the trip. They had 2 volunteers. Mr Adams, would pilot the train to the end of the trail, for $500.00 in advance.Mr. Steven Meek, an old fur trader who claimed to know the land well, offered to pilot the train for $250.00 total, with only $30.00 in advance. They chose Mr. Meek.The book "Early Western Travels",says that on August 27, some 200 families separated from the main train. Mr. Meek was leading these 200, promising a shortcut over the mountains to the Willamette Valley, from Malhuer Creek. Soon the vegetation and water disappeared, along with the good roads. The only water was stagnant pools,even the cattle didn't want to drink. Those that did became ill,many dying, and many more so weak they could barely travel. The days were hot and the nights so cold ice formed in their water buckets. As if this weren't enough, it soon began the fall rain and winter snows. Much to their discomfort. According to family stories, this was the train that discovered the "Blue Bucket" mine. The stories say it was Theophilus that flattened a piece of gold on his wagon wheel, saying "It may be gold, but I do not know that it is." No one since has found the mine area, or any gold, though many have tried. By now the train was helplessly lost. A scouting party returned saying they had found a way out, just in time to save Mr. Meek from being hanged by the angry train members. Mr. Meek then left the train to fend for themselves.According to "History Of Oregon" by Harvey K. Hines,(on page 287) this was the ill-fated emmigrant train that was lost on Meek's Cutoff. After their rescue,the scouts found the Dechutes River. It took the wagon train about 2 weeks to find a place to get across. They ended up dismanteling a wagon,and using heavy cable, they made an aerial ferry.(Confirmed by both "Our Colonial Lines" and "History of Oregon") With that they ferried their belongings and families across the river. This crossing, was at Shearer's Bridge. ~1818 Rachel Center ~1750 Cader Powell Edward N White Catherine Burkhart 1828 - 1905 William (Grandpa) Heisler 77 77 Children

"December 1, 1880, the townsite of Dufur was platted by E.B. and A.J. Dufur, Jr. The patent to the land which comprised the original townsite was issued by the United States to C.W. Brohack, September 16, 1872, and at once came into possession of Joseph Beezley. A few days later it was purchased by E.B. and A.J. Dufur who retained possession until the platting in 1880. Connected with the material advancement of Dufur will be remembered the names of Hon. A.J. Dufur, his three soils, Dr. L. Vanderpool, E.D. Bohna, William Heisler, A.J. Brigham, the pioneer merchant, C.W. Williams, D.E. Thomas, J.A. Guleford, A.J. Brigham, W.R. Menefee, George Nedrow, Johnston Brothers, (T.H. and G.W., who purchased the business interests of C.A. Williams.)"

William Heisler worked as a tobacconist in Pittsburgh after he left home at age 17. Then he enlisted as a soldier in the Mexican War; his unit, Company A of Colonel Powell's battalion under Captain Sublett, was assigned to guard the Oregon Trail. After the war he worked at gold mining in California. Following his marriage in 1851, he travelled by covered wagon on the Oregon Trail with family and neighbors of his new wife to the Willamette Valley of Oregon, settling on a donation land claim (similar to homesteading in the midwest.) He pursued a variety of jobs, including farmer, cattleman, miller and storekeeper. Before he died in 1905, he was known in the town of Dufur as "Grandpa Heisler." Martha McConnell Heisler was similarly known as "Grandma Heisler." (source: Susan Molye) Martha McConnell Martha McConnell Heisler was pregnant during the entire wagon trip from Cedar Co., MO to Lane Co., OR. Her first child was born in the wagon while they were wintering over in Oregon, waiting for spring in order to make a land claim. In her old age she was known as "Grandma Heisler" all around Dufur, Oregon. (source: Susan Molye) John McConnell Mary Hill John Heisler 1791 Catherina Yost 1759 - 1839 Daniel Yost 80 80 He was very active in Friedens Union Church near what later became New Ringgold.

He lived in New Goshenhoppen, Pennsylvania.

He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.

He was active in local politics and was appointed Justice of the Peace for his area. On 9 DEC 1811, Governor Snyder commissioned Daniel Yost an associate judge for a new judicial district, then seated in Orwigsburg. He served in this position until December 29, 1836. He was the first Associate Judge of Schuylkill County.

Victoria Jorski Seikel, 90, passed away June 28, 2006, after a lengthy illness. She was born Oct. 21, 1915, to Sophia and Andrew Jorski in Harrah, the fifth of their seven children. Her great grandfather, Isaac (Ike) Jorski, staked a claim in Harrah in the second Oklahoma Land Run Sept. 22, 1891. A graduate in 1934 from Harrah High School and from Draughon’s Business School in Oklahoma City, she married Lawrence Seikel Aug. 6, 1940, in St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church. They had three sons.

Ike was the third oldest of six children born to Jacob & Victoria Jezewski. On the 1900 census it states Ike immigrated to the US in 1873. Ike's first wife was Victoria Olegniczak, daughter of George and Barbara Olegniczak. Ike and Victoria were living in Marche, Arkansas where they had five children, Andrew Henry, Mary Anna, John Jacob, Martha Anna, and Selina Victoria. Ike's wife Victoia died in 1889 and Ike then married Katy Rominski.

On Sept. 22, 1891 Ike took part in the second land run on what was once Indian Territory, from Marche Arkansas. Ike and his family were one of the ten original family's that settled the town of Harrah, Oklahoma. Ike secured a homestead of 160 acres, three miles east of Harrah.

Ike's family lived in a dugout under ground for a year before they erected a tent made from the remnant of the wagon, where they lived for the next 2 years. Later they built a 10 ft. by 10 ft. dirt floor cabin. Ike and Katie farmed the land and raised their children in Harrah.

At the age of 71 years in 1920 Ike died of natural causes. During his life he lived without electricity and a motor vehicle. Most of his family still live in and around Harrah, Oklahoma and have many businesses around the Oklahoma City area.

Ike's headstone says: "Ojciec Ignac Jezewski  Urouzil sie dnia Stycznia 1859 Umarl dnia 20 Sierzpnia 1920," or "Father Ignac Jezewski was born on January 1859. He died on 20 August 1920."

 1826 - 1917 Victoria Korynta 91 91 Maybe she was born in 1821 or August, 1924. On the 1910 census it states Victoia was the mother of 11 children with only seven of them still living.

1842 Jacob Jezewski 1845 Mary Jezewski 1847 Martin Jezewski 1850 Isaac Jezewski 1863 - 1943 John Jezewski 80 80 John was the son of Jacob and Victoria Jezewski/Jorski who came to the US in 1865.

He served as Sergeant in Captain John Mark's Company, 14th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel Charles Lewis.

He was wounded in the Battle of Brandywine September 11, 1777, while serving as Sergeant under General George Washington, and was sent home on furlough (U.S. War Department record). He later rejoined his regiment and Colonel Lewis when ordered to join the Army of the South in Georgia. Benjamin was with Troop C under Count Pulaski at the Seige of Savannah. (Knight's "Georgia Roster of the Revolution").

After the Revolutionary War Benjamin returned to Frederick County, Virginia, where he married Mary Ann Jameson. Shortly afterward he moved to Wilkes County, Georgia. In a 1790 Tax Digest, Captain Elsberry's District of Wilkes County, Benjamin is listed as owning 283 acres of land in Wilkes County and 250 acres in adjoining Franklin County.

In 1792 Benjamin Fry sold land in Franklin County, Georgia, signed by Benjamin and wife Mary Fry.

Record taken from Wilkes County Deed Book kk p. 16: "Benjamin Fry, late soldier in the 14th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel Charles Lewis appoints Francis Baldwin to receive my pay due me as a soldier afore-said and my land also from the United States or the State of Virginia. June 20, 1793. J.S. Smith, Judith Jordan, Test." (This proves Benjamin to be the same person as shown on the War Department record.)

Oglethorpe County Deed Book D p. 57: June 1, 1799, between Benjamin Fry and his wife Mary to Daniel Holderfield, wherby the said Benjamin Fry and his wife Mary sell 105 acres of land on waters of Macke Creek for $500. Witnesses: George Dogget, Isaac Eason, Thomas Duke.

Wilkes County Deed Book ZZ p. 19: December 21, 1802, Benjamin Fry of Wilkes County, Georgia to William McLaughlin of the county of Oglethorpe state of Georgia for the consideration of $400 all that tract of land in Wilkes County containing 200 acres on the water of Long Creek. Witnesses: Pit Nuluer, John Moore, Om. Brookes. (This proves Benjamin was still living in Wilkes County when his son Benjamin was born 9/15/1800.)

Early in 1803, Benjamin Fry and his family joined the many Georgians who were going westward seeking new homes. He and his family settled in old Randolph County, Georgia, which in 1808 became Jasper County.

The U.S. Government granted Benjamin a pension beginning September 1810 because of a wound received while he was in Service. This would was doubtless received at the Battle of Brandywine. The last pension paid him covered that period from September 4, 1822 to March 4, 1823. On March 15, 1823 Benjamin Fry certified that three months previously he had moved to Henry County from Jasper County, Georgia. He died in Henry County September, 1823 (War Department Record).

Date of death of Mary Ann (Jameson) Fry is not known, but it was between 1820 and 1830. Family tradition places her death about a year before her husband's - that is, about 1822. 1820 U.S. Census, Jasper County, shows she and her husband living with their son Benjamin Fry, Jr. in Monticello, Jasper County, Georgia. The 1830 census does not show her in the the household of Benjamin, Jr.
 1754 - ~1822 Mary Ann Jamison 68 68 1786 Mary Fry 1789 Annis Fry 1791 Sally Fry 1796 - 1854 Lodwick Fry 58 58 Lodwick Fry arrived in San Augustine County, Texas in 1839, where he applied for a 640 acre grant. Lodwick and his family were preceded in Texas by his younger brother Benjamin, who arrived in 1834.

In 1840, Lodwick received a land grant for 320 acres in Houston County.

Lodwick owned 320 acres in Trinity County at the time of his death. This land was divided among Sarah's four daughters in 1875.

Lodwick sold the 320 acre John Kirby survey, located in Walker County, to Isaac McGrary on July 29, 1854, with the consent of Sarah and her daughters. Sarah died in Trinity County in1875, leaving 320 acres she received from the State Land Grant.


 1798 Margaret Fry 1799 - 1825 Milly Fry 26 26 1800 - 1872 Benjamin Franklin Fry 72 72 Benjamin Franklin Fry, Jr. was born September 15, 1800 in Wilkes county, Georgia to Benjamin Fry and Mary Ann Jameson Fry. While he was a young child, his parents moved to Jasper Co., Georgia, and he grew to manhood there.

On December 23, 1820 (or 1819) he married Nancy Carden (or Carter), from Jasper County, Georgia.

Benjamin is listed in the 1820 U. S. Census Record as follows: Benjamin Fry, Jasper Co., Ga., Monticello Town District No. 228-216: 1 male over 10 and under 26 yrs. (himself); 1 male over 45 yrs. (his father); 1 female under 10 yrs. (This may be daughter of Ben's sister Sally who died before 1822.); 1 female over 16 and under 26 yrs.; 1 female over 45 yrs. (Mary Ann Jameson, Ben's Mother).

Ben Jr's mother died 2 years later and his father 3 years later. They were obviously in poor health and in need of assistance, so they were in the household qf their youngest son in 1820.

The Henry County 1830 U. S. Census Record lists Benjamin Fry: 1 male 20-30 yrs., 1 male under 5 yrs., 2 males 5-10 yrs., 1 female 30-40 yrs. (This would indicate that Nancy was slightly older than Ben. Census taken before Sept. 15, 1830.)

Family tradition places Mary Ann Jameson's' death about one year before her husbands, that is 1822.

Ben Jr. moved from Jasper County to Henry County in December 1822 and there his father died September 1823.

While Benjamin Fly's forefathers were of the Lutheran faith, he, being reared in a Baptist community, became a Baptist, and later joined the Baptist ministry. About 1833 he moved to LaGrange Georgia where he filled a pulpit in the Baptist Church for a short time.

In 1834 he heard the call of Texas for colonists, and December of that year found him, with his family, entering from the north the Mexican Territory called Texas. After crossing the Red River near Jonesborough, now called Davenport, near the present town of Clarksville, they stopped to rest for a few days. While doing this, their son, John Gilmore Fry, was overcome with nostalgia for his old Georgia home, and, though but a lad, determined to, and did return with some Georgia people he had met at a horse race in Joneshorough. (John Gilmore b. Sept. 1823 was 11 years old.) Benjamin Fry, with the rest of his family, continued their journey which ended in Nacogdoches. From there he moved to Crockett, Houston County, Texas.

Family Group Sheet

Just after the Battle of Gonzales Oct. 2, 1835, the call went out that Texas should throw off the yolk of Mexico, no longer should that country encroach upon the rights of the Colonists. Benjamin Fry joined the Texas Army at San Augustine on Oct. 5, 1835 just three days after the first battle in Gonzales. On the evening of that day, an enthusiastic meeting was held, and Sam Houston and Thomas Rusk spoke. A company of men was then organized to leave on the morning of Oct. 10th, just four days later. The cry of this Company was 'Take Bexar', and they became known as the "Red Landers" because the soil of East Texas, their home, was of a red color. They traveled what is known as the 'El Camino Real', or 'King's. Highway', which road was blazed in 1691 between San Antonio and Nacogdoches, and joined Stephen F. Austin and his men at the Salado Creek about ten miles from San Antonio. Benjamin Fry was in the skirmish at Salado Creek, Battle of Conception, and later, when camped with the Army out of San Antonio, he saw Ben Milam step out in front of the men and say, "Who will go with old Ben Milam into San Antonio?" Benjamin Fry was one of the "Old Three Hundred and One' volunteers, who stepped forward and followed Ben Milam into battle. The "Seige of Bexar" was on. For four days and five nights the Mexicans fought - house to house - room to room - until the morning of Dec. 9, 1835 when the Mexicans were defeated.

At the Battle of San Jacinto April 21, 1836, Benjamin Fry was in the First Regiment , Texas Volunteers, Company 1 under the command of Captain William S. Fisher. This Company was known as the "Velasco Blues". He had joined on March 6, the same day the Alamo fell to the Mexicans, just 4 days after Texas declared their independance on March 2nd at Washington on the Brazos. Benjamin was released from duty June 6, 1836. After his release from duty, Benjamin returned to the ministry.

Fry was a Baptist Minister who is said to have preached under five of the "Six Flags over Texas," becoming known as the "Fighting Parson." He was at the siege of Bexar, at San Jacinto, and fought later in the Mexican War. He was born in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1800 and married Nancy Carter in 1829. He preached his final sermon on the day of his death in Jeddo, Bastrop County, 1872.

There were few churches in those days. Saloons sometimes had to make do, requiring on the part of a saloon keeper a certain degree of introduction: "Oyez, oyez, there's goin' to be some hell-fired racket here this mornin, gents, by Fightin' Parson Potter, a reformed gambler, but now a shore-nuff gospel shark... the Devil's gonna git ye quicker'n hell kin scorch a feather."

Religion generally came late to the Republic. Although the Baptist J. H. Pilgrim founded a Sunday School in Austin's colony, a Catholic mission to the new nation in 1836 found there to be only two priests in the whole of Texas. The Methodists came in the persons of the Reverend Martin Rider and his assistants Robert Alexander and Littleton Fowler in 1836. The first Lutheran may have been the Reverend Louis C. Ervenberg, a German. The first Protestant Episcopalian, Caleb S. Ives, arrived in 1836.

In 1840, Benjamin owned 640 acres in Houston County, Texas. His son King Lodwick (18) owned 320 acres, his brother Lodwick owned 320 acres, and his nephew Robert owned 320 acres.

A meeting was held in the School house in the town of Huntsville, Montgomery County, Republic of Texas, on Monday, September 16, 1844 for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Church. The following proceedings were had to wit-. After divine worship by the Rev. Benjamin Fry, the meeting was called to order by Elder Z. N. Morrell who invited all persons present who wished to become members of the church about to he organized to take seals and also invited visiting brethren sit with us. Rev. Benjamin Fry, Chairman of the Committee heretofore appointed to draft an abstract of principles reported the following, to wit: Articles of Faith, etc.

On November 11, 1844 Benjamin Fry was involved in the organization of Antioc Church in Anderson Co., Texas.

When the Mexican War broke out, "Benjamin Fry was enrolled May 17, 1846 at Cincinnati, Texas for six months; was mustered into service todate May 30, 1846 at Fort Polk, Point Isabel, Texas as a Sergeant in Captain Bennet's Company B, 1st Regiment Texas Foot Riflemen Mexican War; and was mustered out with the Company and honorably discharged the service as Sergeant Aug. 24, 1846 near Camargo," according to the U.S. War Department. He was mustered out due to ill health.

Captain Cheshire, from Eastern Texas, had fitted up a large tent for the accommodation of those who felt piously inclined; whence, on a calm moonlight night, the melody of psalm singing, sermonizing, and prayer, resounded over the camp. The chief orator, on these occasions, was our orderly-sergeant Fry. He was a decided character, and deserves a passing notice.

The Sergeant was the tallest man in our regiment, being six feet nine in his stockings, and was slim and straight as an Indian; long favored, with blue eyes, and pleasant countenance, and a nose of huge proportions. Whether he belonged to the Methodist, Baptist, or Universalist persuasion, could not be ascertained from his discourses. One thing, however, was certain,--if he was a Methodist, there was not much method in his eloquence. He never touched upon doctrinal points; and when not holding forth to his congregation, there was nothing of the parson in his manner, unless it was his general good-nature, and friendly smile, and word for every one he met.

The Sergeant declared "he had volunteered to look after the spiritual interest of the boys. That he meant to serve the Lord; but, if duty required him to shoot Mexicans, why, he thought he could do so, and look to heaven with a clear conscience." He was one of those pious soldiers who could trust to Providence, but chose to take care of his own powder.

In No. 15, Public Department Papers in the Archives of the State Library there is an affidavit made June 10, 1836, by Captain William S. Fisher at Velasco that Mr. Fry served in his company of "Valasco Blues" from March 6 to June 6, 1836. Mr. Fry was issued Donation Certificate No. 184 on December 3, 1849, for 640 acres of land for having participated in the battle of San Jacinto. He received Bounty Certificate No. 9247 for 640 acres of land for having served in the army from March 6 to September 6, 1836. On January 11, 1850, Governor Peter H. Bell signed a joint resolution of the Legislature granting Mr. Fry one-third of a league of land as a headright, setting forth that he "entered the army of Texas in October, 1835, aided in the siege of Bexar, and participated in the battle of San Jacinto."

The 1850 Walker County, Texas Census listed Ben Fry, 51, Carpenter; Nancy Fry, 54; Ben Fry, 23.

From A History of Cincinnati, by Vernon Cleveland Fitzgerald Schuder: "In Walker County, on the west bank of the Trinity River, Cincinnati, Texas was founded by James C. DeWitt in 1837. Carpenters in Cincinatti were Ben Fry, Dan Clarke, and William Devane Shockley."

Down river a few miles lived Benjamin's. brother Lodwick, Lodwick's son Robert, and other members of Lodwick's family.

In the fall of 1853 the yellow fever epidemic struck the town of Cincinnati. An estimated 250 of about 600 people died from the "Yellow Jack".

Whether or not the yellow fever affected the Fry families directly or not is not known. But several had died and are buried in the Fry Cemetery on what was Robert's land near present day Point Blank, San Jacinto County, Texas.

1860 found Benjamin and many of the Fry relatives in Limestone County, Texas.

In 1867 it was reported that Ben had a home in Jeddo, Bastrop County, Texas. Benjamin's wife, Nancy Carden (Carter) Fry died in Jeddo, May 1867 and is buried in Jeddo Cemetery. She was reportedly a very small woman, had dark eyes and black hair, and in her later years, smoked a pipe.

In October 1869 in Trinity County, Benjamin Fry married Martha Elizabeth ("Lizzie") Phillips Williams, widow of "Buck" Williams.

The 1870 Trinity County Census, Aug 3, 1870 listed Benjamin Fry, 69 Baptist Minister and Farmer, Married within the year; Lizzie Fry, 40, Housewife, born in Mississippi; Sterling Williams, 20, Farm Labor, born in Lousiana; Mitchell, 15, born in Lousiana; Christiana, 12, born in Lousiana; Lizzie, 7, born in Lousiana.

November 17, 1870, George Washington Fry was born to Benjamin and Lizzie Fry. G. W. Fry was about one year old when Lizzie died. Ben was an old man and was concerned for the future of his new son, so in the fall of 1872 he took G. W. to Waelder, Texas, Gonzales County, to his grand daughter Mary Ann Hopkins, daughter of his son King Lodwick, for her to care for.

On October 3, 1872, Benjamin Franklin Fry died and is laid to rest beside his first wife Nancy.

---------------------------
"Benjamin Fry Family" told to Iva Blalock by Elliot Fry and Zona Knight Barnett. (Benjamin Elliot Fry - son of George W. Fry; Arizona Knight Barnett - daughter of Lizzie Williams Knight)

Benjamin Fry was close to 70 when he married Martha Elizabeth (Lizzie) Phillips Williams, Buck Williams widow. Martha Elizabeth and Buck had two children. They were Christi Ann Williams, who married Lum (Columbus) Morgan, and Lizzie Williams who married William (Billy) C. Knight. (Benjamin Fry had children by his first wife. Some of his boys fought in the Civil War. (Benjamin's' wife died.)

Benjamin and Martha Elizabeth had one son, George Washington Fry. When George Washington was one year old, Martha Elizabeth Fry died, Benjamin Fry gave George W. Fry to one of his granddaughters and her husband to raise. (I believe their names were Hopkins and they lived at Waelder, Texas.) George W. was about two years old when his father, Benjamin Fry died.

George W. thought he was a Hopkins until he was 7 years old. He was standing in the chimney corner one day and overheard Mrs. Hopkins reading a letter from one of his (George's) half- sisters, saying she felt George W. was still living. George W. came in the house and told the woman what he heard, and begged to go live with his sister. The old lady told George W. that she loved him and couldn't give him up.

As time went on, George W. began to notice the Hopkins family showed a difference between him and their own son, Sam. George W. had to do his chores and Sam's too. If Sam didn't want to bring in wood or carry water, George W. had to bring it all in. George W. had to hoe his row of cotton, and help hoe Sam's row, for Sam would lag behind. George W. made up his mind, when he got a little age on him, he was going to run away.

Years later, Mrs. Hopkins died (Aug. 18. 1881, when George W. was 11, nearly 12.) and George W. was placed in a distant relative's home. His home life was no better there. They had a large family and all worked hard.

At 14, George W. ran away and went to work on a cattle ranch. The family did not think enough of him to look for him. George W. worked hard for a few years building fences, rounding up cattle and helping to feed and brand them.

When he earned enough money to buy a horse and saddle from the rancher, he quit the job and started on his way to San Jacinto County to live with his half-sisters Christian and Lizzie Williams. He rode in the day and slept at night under the stars with the saddle pad under his head for a pillow. He staked his horse nearby to graze on grass. George W.'s food consisted mostly of parched corn.

It was late one afternoon, when he got to the Trinity River. After crossing the ferry, he asked the man f he knew Christian and Lizzie. "I don't know them son, but you can come home with me. My wife might know them." When they reached the ferryman's home, the old lady hugged the boy. "Are you really George Fry?" she asked, "I thought you were dead. Eat supper, son, and spend the night with us. I will tell you in the morning how to get to your sister's house. I'm too old and shocked to talk about it now."

The next morning the old lady told George W. that Christian had married Lum Morgan, and Lizzie was married to William (Billy) C. Knight. She showed him a trail and told him to follow it and it would take him to the cotton gin where W. C. Knight worked

When he reached the gin, Lum Morgan was there with a wagon of cotton to be ginned W. C. Knight and Lum were picking the cotton up in a basket and throwing it in the compress to be ginned and baled "Wait until I get through here son," said Lum, "and I'll take you to see your sister."

Christian was at the well drawing a bucket of water when Lum drove up in the wagon and George W. followed on horseback. She set the bucket down and ran to meet them. "You're George W.," she said, hugging the hay. "I'd know you anywhere." I never did believe you were dead even though they wrote that you were. I'll take you to see Lizzie."

San Jacinto County, A Glimpse Into The Past, Volume H, By: Iva Aden Blalock. pg. 30 -

It was a fall evening, just before sundown in the year of 1892, (More likely 1885 since family tradition says he returned when he was about 16. He would be 16 in November.) when George W. Fry came to the East side of the Trinity River at Ryan's Ferry. He hallooed for someone to come and ferry him and his horse across the river. When Ryan and George W. Fry came to the Ryan cabin, Mrs. Ryan was so glad to see the 16 year old boy she hugged and kissed him. "Honey, you were about two years old when your father took you away, but I would recognize you anywhere," remarked the old lady.

The Ryans gave George W. his supper and a warm bed to sleep in. The next morning, Ryan went with George W. to the Durdin cotton gin to meet William C Knight who worked at the gin. Knight had married George W.'s half-sister Lizzie Williams Caswell Knight.

Told to me by Aunt Oma - Ben took George W. to his granddaughter by horseback and before arriving they got caught in a thunder storm. Ben wrapped the baby in a saddle blanket to keep him warm and dry while he got soaked, contracting pneumonia and dying of complications shortly after arriving.

She said also that when George W. worked on the cattle ranch, he received room and board and very little money. While at the ranch he realized the need for an education and acquired a tutor to teach him, at night, to read and write, while working on the ranch by day.

In 1893 George Washington Fry married Sarah Margie Warren on November 30, 1893 at Cold Springs, San Jacinto County, Texas. They moved to Bell County where their first three children, Ben Elliot, Gazzie and Jeff were born.

Probably in the fall of 1900, G. W. moved his family to Shockley Community, Walker County, Texas where Harvey, Oma and Murphy were born.

History of Shockley Chapel Cemetery, By: Mrs. R. H. Aden, says the last Church-School was built in 1910. George Fry helped build the church. "He hung the bell in the tower," said Elliott Fry. Gazzie Fry said, "You could hear the bell all over the community. It told us when it was time for church and time for school." Methodist ministers were Reverends Robert (Bob) Mann, John Mann, and Luther Ellisor, and the Baptist Ministers were Reverends John Bartee, W. Burton, Robert Day, Tom Richardson, Riley Wilson, and George Fry.

Families in the community were; Winters, Wilson, Mann, Knight, Roark, Carter, McClendon,

Hoot, Scofield, Love, Wimberly, Dixon, Ellis, Barnett, Bartee, Copland, Green, Fry, Webb, Burton, Hughes, and others.

Giorge Knight recalls - "It was during family visits between my grandmother Lizzie (Elizabeth Williams, Caswell, Knight) Aunt Zona and Dad (John Allerson Knight) that I overheard references, with apparent fond affection, of Preacher (George Washington) Fry.

"It was on one of these occasions that Dad and Aunt Zona were teasing grandmother Lizzie about how she used to pull Preacher Fry's coat tail as he walked back and forth preaching if she felt it was time for him to end his sermon. From their talking, I saw him as a thin, tall, red headed man that loved the Lord and the preaching of His word.

"I have often wondered where my parents came up with the name of George for me, since I wasn't aware of any relatives by that name. Since Grandmother Lizzie lived in the home with my mother and father, I am now convinced that my mother and grandmother had a shared interest in naming my brother and me because my brother was named after my grandfather, William Knight, and my mother's oldest brother, Preston White. Apparently, I was named after my grandmother's beloved half-brother, George Washington Fry, and my half-uncle, Albert Knight. I am happy to believe that I could have been named George in honor of George Washington Fry."

About 1911, G. W. and family moved to Black Jack Community, Walker County.

Huntsville and Walker County, Texas, A Bicentennial History, By: D'Anne McAdams Crews, 1976. Page 436 - Early settlers of the Black Jack Community include the... George W. Fry family,... Hiram and Fannie Vause Little,...Steely,... Ellisor,... Niederhofer,... Coward,... Allen,... Palmer,... Sheppard, etc.

March 15, 1915 - Sarah Margie Warren Fry fell asleep in Christ March 15, 11 P.M. 1915. Had been bedridden from stroke for some time.

March 25, 1923 - G. W. married Mrs. J. S. Hollis.

George Washington Fry was a Baptist Minister from 1916 to 1929. He was instrumental in the forming of a Baptist Church at Cut and Shoot, Montgomery County, Texas. He was unable to preach in '29 because of cancer of the throat.

May 27, 1929 - G. W. Fry died and is laid to rest in Shockley Chappel Cemetery, Walker County, beside his wife Sarah Margie Warren.
 1820 - ~1820 Mary Ann Fry 1822 - 1869 King Lodowick Fry 47 47 In 1840, Age 18, He was reported in the Republic of Texas paying 1 poll tax (male in household over 21) and having 320 acres of land (surveyed).

In 1860 he was living in Bastrop Co., Texas and farming. Had $1,540 real estate and $1,445 personal property.

On August 21, 1863 he enlisted in Bastrop Company for 3 years in Company I, Terrell's Regiment Texas Cavalry. On February 3, 1864 he was sent on Detached service with his enrolling officer in Colorado County, with Horses. There were no more pay slips after February 1864, and his son Mack Alexander was born in 1865, so he must have returned home.

In April 1867 K. Lodwick's wife Levinia died at age 41, leaving 8 children under age 18. The youngest, age 2, also died that year. This presented an extremely difficult situation. His oldest daughter Nancy took her two brothers George Washington and Daniel Webster. His daughter Mary took her sister Elizabeth Jane Judson. It is not known what happened to the others.

In Feburary 1869, King Lodwick died at age 47 in Huntsville and is buried at Crocket, Houston County, Texas.

On April 9, 1933, Murphy married Sudie Beatrice Hoot under a large pine tree outside Center Hill Baptist church after Sunday service.

They lived on Mr. Lewis's place at Black Jack. Murphy share cropped, living in a converted barn having two rooms, a kitchen and a living room, with a small front porch. The floors and walls had cracks, according to Mom, "you could throw a cat through." His first three children Aaron, Sarah and Martin were born there.

Probably the fall of 1937 he moved a short distance to the Little farm, to a better house. Mr Little, a fellow preacher and friend of Murphy's father G. W. Fry, had died, leaving the farm unused. Murphy's next two children, Sadie and Molly, were born here with "Grandma" Little as midwife. (Hiram and Fannie Little)

In October or November of 1942, Murphy moved his family to Oakhurst, San Jacinto County, to the Fowler farm where he share cropped for 1/4 livestock and crops as rent.

On March 14, 1962, he died at Huntsville, Walker County, and was laid to rest in Shockley Chappel Cemetery, in the old community where he was born. He is buried beside his father and mother.

There were two sessions of the assembly during this period, one beginning May 9, 1723, and the other beginning May 12, 1726. At the first, on the recommendation of Governor Drysdale, laws were passed to regulate the militia and for the more effectual prevention of Negro insurrections. It appears that not long before a conspiracy had been planned by Negroes. This conspiracy furnished additional reasons for the duty laid the same session on liquors and slaves.

At the next session a commission was issued by the governor constituting Philip Finch to be the first sergeant-at-arms and mace-bearer of the House of Burgesses. Previous to this time an officer called the messenger had discharged these duties. Governor Drysdale announced to the house that "the interfering interest of the African Company" had obtained from the board of trade the repeal of the law of the previous session imposing a duty on liquors and slaves. He stated his belief that if a new duty be laid on liquors for the support of the college, then "in a languishing condition," the English government would not object, and this was done. Drysdale was a sick man during this session, and not long after its adjournment he died at Williamsburg, July 22, 1726.

 Senkowski ~1905 John Senkowski ~1908 Joe Senkowski 1837 William B Dougherty The family left Ohio and settled briefly in Illinois and then settled in Poweshiek County, Iowa.  It was here that William married Ellen Lee who was born 1843 in Ohio. 1843 Ellen Lee 1862 Tilitha C Dougherty 1863 Martin E Dougherty 1867 Russell S Dougherty 1874 James B Dougherty 1877 Lena B Dougherty Maude Horton William Jasper Johnson 1867 Olive Johnson 1868 Florence (Lulu) Luella Johnson 1871 Guy Tricillian Johnson 1873 Aaron Johnson 1875 Johnson 1877 Fred J Johnson 1879 Theodora (Dora) Jane Johnson 1882 Sarah Elizabeth Johnson 1887 George Henry Johnson 1761 - 1833 Aaron Starnes 72 72 Aaron Starnes fought in the Revolutionary War. Aaron’s father came to South Carolina from New England. This family can be traced to Shubael Stearns who was part of the first wave of Puritan migration from England to Boston. He arrived in 1630 with his son Charles Stearns (1625-1695) on the Arabella (which also carried Governor John Winthrop). Shubael died just after arriving in America and his son Charles was raised by his uncle Isaac Stearns. There are very good records on this family and many of their marriages. Charles’ grandson Shubael III and his sons were caught up in the religious movement known as the Great Awakening which began in the 1730s. They became devout Baptists about 1745 and found that their views were suspect in New England. Shubael III and his sons left for the Carolinas in 1754 initially settling in North Carolina where his son, Shubael IV, became a famous Baptist minister. Shubael III’s son John (Armenta’s grandfather) and two of his brothers moved on to South Carolina in the late 1760s. They were not ministers but they helped to organize Baptist churches everywhere they went. Some pedigrees including that of Harold Fox identify Armenta’s grandfather John as the son of Shubael III’s  brother Charles, but I have not found any records to support that. I did find sources that identify a son of Shubael III as John which I believe to be the more likely connection. Either way the line goes back to the Shubael I who arrived on the Arabella. After going South the Stearns changed the spelling of their name to Starnes.  1851 - 1928 Mary (Mollie) G. Nix 77 77 1861 - 1940 Gregory Michalski 79 79 In 1930 he lived in Dewey, Oklahoma with Verna.

In addition to the lumber and hardware, the E.F. Eberle & Co. secured a McCormick-Deering dealership.

Eberle was known through out the area for his knowledge of that line of implements and for his exceptional memory of McCormick-Deering parts numbers.

Prior to the 1902 establishment of the Bank of Deer Creek, E.F. Eberle & Co. provided a service by shipping in the needed currency to cash checks for the community.

Just as they sold wagons and buggies that provided early transportation for the Deer Creek area, C.F. Eberle & Co. also sold cars and trucks as the automobile industry budded and grew.

About 1913, they became a Chevrolet dealer and "Chris" Eberle is credited with having driven the first Chevrolet into Oklahoma.

Throughout their almost 50 years in business, C.F. Eberle & Co. also dealt with and provided for their customers products from other companies: Aerometer, Coleman Lamp, De Laval Separator, Dempster Mill, Fairbanks Morse, Goodyear Tire an d Rubber, John Deere Plow, MAytag, Stromberg Carlson Telephone, and Westinghouse.

C.F. Eberle sold the business in 1944 when he and his wife Floy retired.

She is probably the only one of the children who obtained all of her school education in America. In addition to attending the English public schools during these pioneer years, Agness, like most children of Mennonite families also attended german parochial school for a few months every summer as well as receiving catechismal instructions. After completing the catechism course at about the age of fourteen years, members of the class were baptized and accepted into the church as members. During much of her life, Agness was known by the name "Nancy".
