I came in here some 20 minutes or so ago & Dr introduced me to County Supt of Schools Nesbit, who says his ancestors came from Washington Co, Pa. He says Geo Crawford, living at Manchester, O with his son Okey, has been bedfast for two years, but still keeps up his reputation as "Swearing George" who says he is 90, but Supt Nesbit says he is 85 or 86. He says he tells that he is great grandson of Col Wm Crawford & I suppose then that his father was a son of John. He says to see Okey's wife & she will get me what records they have. He says Geo had a brother, Womatt or some such name who was said to have been hung in the west for killing a man, but George won't tell me anything about that, but says to see Womatt? Scott who is a relative & can tell me about the family. Doctor had Evans Hist of Adams Co, O & on Page 670, it speaks of John Treber, son of orig John & brother of Jacob & Joseph went to Butler Co, O & married Elizabeth Crawford. Investigate the records there & see if she could be daughter of Oliver or Hugh Crawford, brothers of Esther & Anna who married the Thoromans & on page 669, it stated

V15 Page 13

Just as I was leaving, I asked Mrs Frame about the Patterson children buried out near her great grandfather, Jos L. Finley, viz: Algernon S., James McCrea, & Stephen H. & she thought they were children of her Uncle Joseph P. Patterson, by his first wife Effa Ann C. who was from these parts, but she didn't know her name. Her Uncle had a daughter Alice, by her, who married Wheeler Collier. she died at Miamisville, O but there are none of the family there now. She had a daughter, Mary who married a Foster & thinks lives in Penna. She also had two sons.Her Uncle Jos P's second wife was from Butler, Pa & a son he had by her lives in Penna. Thinks Clarence Smith can give record of these.I then went across again to Dr Sproull's office & he said that "Dad" Thompson, who lived down by the Sproull bridge had several sons among them Robert, Moses & Aaron.Mrs Frame said her husband didn't know the name of his grandfather Frame. I had called in S.S. Jones store this afternoon before supper & he was in the County, so he came in Dr Sproull's office while I was over at Mrs Frame's & he wrote down seven note size pages of what he told him. I am comparing with what the doctor told me at Pages 536 & 552 to 554. The former record given on Book 14 pages 552 -554 is only a skeleton in proportion so I give it completely:

I went east on Mulberry street passing an old frame tobacco warehouse 250 ft on Mulberry St & 190 ft on Boyd st which Mr Bayless told me was used now simply for the growers to bring their leaf tobacco to for marketing. I stopped at a little store of Mrs Will Bayless on the corner & was told by a man there that he had just left the store, so I walked four blocks, short ones, out Boyd St & came to the:

Residence of Will Bayless on Boyd St corner of Poplar, West Union, O Oct 20, 1925 9:40 AM Just as I arrived at his residence, a large frame one, with porch around both street sides, he, coming from beyond on Boyd St with his daughter, met me & took me in the house. Talking with him, both he & his daughter were much interested & she said she would want to get a book. She had to go with her little boy. He is a tall active, virile man about my age & said he had seen me working at the Court House last week & said his name appeared on the books there more than anyone else because of the large amount of property he had bought & sold. He had matters demanding his attention today, but arranged to go in the morning to his Wilson cousins in the country about 5 miles out who have the bible with record of his grandfather

V15 Page 28

Daniel Bayless who married Jennie Jack a sister of Andrew Jack & a daughter of Thomas Jack, the old Revolutionary soldier, he being the first one to be able to give the name of Andrew's father. He said Andrew & his grandmother had a brother James Jack & regretted that I had not come three years sooner, as his father, also Daniel Bayless had died a couple of years ago aged 92 yrs & often told him of what his grandfather, Thomas Jack, had related to him about his services in the Revolutionary War. He said too that the widow of Thos Jack lived with my informant's grandmother, her daughter Jennie Jack Bayless after her husband's death. I think he said that his grandfather had six children. His said his great grandfather, Thomas Jack, was buried out a g.y. by or near New Harmony, but there was no marker, but Wm Santee knows which is his grave. He said Thomas Jack used to talk much about a witty Irishman that was in the war with him & his exploits. I had occasion to go to his privy & was well relieved. He walked on about another square along Boyd St & he pointed out that he owned a circular area of land running from the Wilson Children's Home around us & said he had built 70 houses in the neighborhood & had owned 40 of them & owns yet a dozen or more. He took me to the

V15 Page 29

Residence of Mrs Eva O'Brian, Boyd St, West Union, O Oct 20, 1925 10:30 AM And introduced me to her. She was cleaning house in the kitchen & was very kindly disposed. She said she was the daughter of Quincy Kincaid & that her Uncle W. Scott Kincaid living abt 2 miles west of town, had the old Kincaid records. It was through them & the information he gave, that Mrs O'Brian got in the D.A.R. She said if she could do anything further to assist, to call on her.

I then walked over to Dr Sproull's office stopping to speak to Dr Coleman, a descendant of Judge Coryell's 2d wife by her first husband, who just drove up in his fine car & he said he was taking Wm C. Coryell, son of the judge by his first wife home with him to Loveland, O near Cincin, O. Dr Sproull said he was 6 ft 1/2 inches in his stocking feet & he said if I was ever in Kansas City, Mo to see Lafayette Treber's descendants there. He descends from Jacob through his 2d wife, not in our line.About 11:40 AM, W.C. Coryell & his friends came in the hotel for dinner just before leaving for Cincin, O or Loveland for a few days recuperation. Asking him about the Darlintons, he said he expected he knew more about the family than they did themselves & that while the first Darlintons here, Joseph & his wife Sarah Wilson were of high repute, the later generations were not. He said the Bronner boys here were about the only descendants in town.Dr Sproull thought the Author of the novel "The Parson of Klein Wood" described Rev I. Newton Darlington. [sic]

Asking him to drive me out to Alex C. Levi's, he said he had just brought him in & he was now at the probate judge's office. Going there, the probate Judge to whom I had not introduced myself when there Monday & Tuesday of last week said his name was Robert Cramer Vance, son of George Vance & that he was born in Fayette Co, Pa two miles N.E. of Smithfield at Reeses Hill on the Morgantown road & the middle part of his name was Cramer for his Uncle Godfey Cramer about whose family he asked. His parents

V15 Page 33

brought him to this county when he was 6 yrs old & he had never been back there until last July. His mother was a Harris & he spoke also of the Burchinal Uncle. I then went to Dr Sproull's office & he drove me to:

House on Boyd St where Mrs Caroline Stewart now rooms, West Union, O Oct 20, 1925 3:30 PM Mrs Stewart had been in bed & had just arisen & dressed. She looks rather frail, but her mind is active & good. She said Genl Joseph Darlinton was an aristocrat & a fine man, but sd the later generations of the family had greatly deteriorated. Speaking of Genl Darlinton's children, she mentioned Doddridge, called "Dodge" & Sarah

Margaret, who died unmarried. She said Gabriel, a son of Doddridge was killed here by a boy named Johnny Ryan who hit him with a barber pole. She said Gabriel married a Shubert & left two girls who are living in Chicago, but inconsequential. She said Adaline ______, kin to the Darlintons married? Dr Wilson & lived at Ironton, O but had no issue. Mrs Stewart said she was born in West Union, O Feby 25, 1845 & her father, James Hood was born in

V15 Page 34

Connellsville, Pa in Dec 1802 & died in July 1890. He came to Ohio in 1806. He was son of John Hood & his wife Hannah Page & John was son of James Hood who lived in the North of Ireland 27 miles from Scotland. He never came to the U.S. nor did his sons Archibald & William unless they came later. John came to Connellsville, Pa where he married Hannah Page who had come from new Jersey abt 20 miles from Princeton, NJ. Either the Hoods or Pages came to Connellsville because the founder, Zachariah Connell owed them a debt which he could not pay in money & they came & took land in settlement. She said the Mausoleum at the bottom of old cemetery which I saw Sunday was erected by her father, James Hood, then the richest man in town. Dr Sproull said in 1865, the workman who built it being John Black, a brother of Benj Cole Black, see Sunday 18th record. She said Ellen Flanigan, who I went to see yesterday see page 7 was out to see her today, having walked out & said she was 6 mos older than she was, being born in Aug 1844. She said Robert Wilson worked for her father at work in his cellar & died suddenly of cholera in 1851. He was father of Finley Wilson. Left 4:30 PM

V15 Page 35

Dr Sproull then drove me around through the fine grounds of the children's home & right by the large building & by the soldiers monument which was erected by the terms of the John Wilson will from the million dollar fund he left. He made his money as a merchant running a store at Tranquility, O. He was married & had but one child which died young. He then drove me by the old brick home at the east end of Main Street of "Dodge" Darlinton erected by him. Mrs Stewart said the two Brawner brothers were descendants of the Darlintons. Dr then drove me by the old woolen mill on Main St & out Cherry Street past the Branson home (Mrs Branson being an older sister of Mrs Stewart) saying they came from our county & past the old cemetery to the home of Alex C. Levi in the edge of the town & 300 feet beyond his house is the Tp line where Cherry ST turns to the Manchester road.

V15 Page 36

At residence of Alexr Campbell Levi, on Manchester road in West Union, called Cherry St, Oct 20, 1925 5 PM Mr Levi says Mrs Richard Fristoe aged abt 70, widow living in Jacktown, O is a dau of Saml P.

She was born In Penna & her mother died in Pa & her father started back fr here to Penna to settle up an estate & when going over this mountain near Pgh, he kneeled down & took a drink from a spring & died in 3 minutes. She was then raised by her maiden Aunt, Sallie Rothwell, who lived to see her grand nieces & nephews go back to illiteracy in these Ohio hills notwithstanding she & her brother Isaac were well educated. She died July 1864 of cancer of the breast & is buried in the old cem near the grave of Maj Jos L. Finley

Don't know date of James Finley's death. His children by his wife Eliza Rothwell were five in order of age viz:Jane, oldest

Margaret, nextCaroline, nextJosephHannah, the youngestthe above is the correct order of their births.He says it is 5 or 6 yrs since Jane died, & he thinks she was buried. He was buried there too. Would have markers [doesn't say where she was buried]Says Joseph Finley & his wife both died & are buried in Indianapolis & wd have markers as he was a Civil

V15 Page 38

War veteran & served fr 1862 until July 4, 1865 in 7th Ohio Cavalry. Was in Andersonville Prison 14 mos as long as any of them. Starved until his sisters didn't know him. He says he had three children, but only recalls the name of Minnie, was a boy & another girl. Says that Margaret & her husband, Saml Kincaid never went to Mt Oreb, but to Hamersville where there [sic] youngest son Joe Finley lives now, a bachelor, is a painter.Stewart is in the furniture business at Hillbsoro, O & has one son who is in business with his father.

V15 Page 39

ever in Dayton, O home or at Urbana, O but says Jane once owned property at Urbana, O. No issue. He says to ask Stewart Kincaid who can give reliable information. Leaving 5:54 PmBoth Mr & Mrs Levi were very kind & insistently asked me to stay all night. He showed me the picture of his grandmother Levi on the wall of their front room. Her maiden name was Hannah Scott, a first cousin of Genl Winfield Scott & with her big broad strong face, she looks much like, him, her father & his father being brothers & she would not marry his grandfather John Levi unless he renounced Judaism, which he did. His father, the great grandfather of my informant was Judas Levi, a Jew, who served through the Revolutionary War & had a government position at Maysville, Ky in 1793 & had been settled there some years before that. My informant's father was also Judas Levi, not Julius as his daughter told me yesterday. When I told him I was going out to the old Jack farm in the morning, he said he had been born at the foot of the hill there & knew Andrew Jack like a book. I should see him again. He said his wife's mother was

V15 Page 40

buried in the old cem just east of the entrance steps & had a slab marker, wife of James Clark. Leaving at 6 PM, it was so dark I could not keep in the road & a dozen times got to one side or the other in the grass, run once against a telegraph pole alongside the road & once fell getting up two or three steps I run on to, I got to the city lights & pavement & made then good time reaching the hotel at 6:11 PM & Mrs Moore said W. Scott Kincaid had been in asking for me & had left 3 minutes before & also that Will Bayless had phoned that he could not get over tonight but would be ready to go with me in the morning.I then went in to supper & the young school girl waitress sat down to eat at the same table & on inquiry, she said she was in the 8th grade & that her name was Lucile Doss. Just as I finished supper, W.S. Kinkead came in with his cousin Wm Edwin Kincaid. He did not know of Thomas Jack marrying Jane Kincaid & said she could not

have married him here in 1787 as there were no settlements here until 1793 & thought them they must have been married east. When I showed him the record of the mar-

V15 Page 41

riage on page 336 Evans Hist of Adams County, he said the enlistments of service in the Revolutionary War of Thomas Jack & the persons he served under were the same as of his great grandfather Thomas Kincaid & the battles in which he fought were the same. He thought Jane Kincaid was a sister of this Thomas. His father was John. This Thos was the father of Col John Kincaid who served in the War of 1812 & his son of John H. was the father of my informant & his son (ie Col John's son). Thomas was twice married to McClanahans who were first cousins. Wm Edwin Kincaid who accompanied W.S. is a grandson of this Thomas. He went out & phoned his maiden Aunt, Elizabeth Kincaid living two miles out of town & coming back reported that she told him that the first wife of her father, Thomas Kincaid was Elizabeth McClanahan & her son Samuel Williamson Kincaid is the one that married Margaret Finley. He was named for an Uncle who bore that name. his Aunt has her father's bible & Wm E. arranged to come 6:30 to 7 o'c tomorrow evening to take me out.Mrs Stewart said today that Rev Newton W. Darlington was a grandson of Genl Joseph Darlinton see book 14 p 598 item 12. Mrs Stewart said last Saturday Oct 10, 1925 was the coldest Oct 10 in these parts for 50 yrs.

At residence of Mrs Nellie M. Young (wife of Roby Young) Tiffin Tp, Adams Co, O Oct 21, 1925 9:42 AM I got back here some 20 minutes ago & having been looking over some old Stevenson papers & Andrew Jack deeds. Mrs Holliday says that Deborah Jack nee McGarry wife of Andrew Jack died in May 1877 about six yrs after he did & when her granddaughter Matilda McC Stevenson was 5 yrs old.The Bible of Elizabeth A. Jack (Stevenson) printed by American Bible Soc NY 1860 says:"Elizabeth A. Jack was born Jany 3, 1832Her daughter Matilda McGarry Stevenson born June 2, 1872.Mrs Holliday says Deborah Jack was 89 yrs old when she died.Andrew's mother Jane Jack nee Kincaid lived with him in the old log house which stood about 400 ft beyond this house across a small stream coming from a clump of small trees & bushes after her husband died. They built a room for her, on one side of the house (which after her death was used as a kitchen) with a big chimney & fire place to burn logs in & in the wall of this chimney was an opening about 8 inches wide & 12 inches high left there as a place for her to put her pipe. The foundation of this house in the edge of a young orchard is there & the bottom ten feet of a big chimney. It is on a

V15 Page 45

slightly higher elevation that that on which the present frame house built 25 yrs ago stands. The place where the old house stood was never farmed as the forest trees were cut down to make a place for & were used in the building & then cleared out about it. They didn't know when she died, but I learned at the next house I went to see next page bottom. When at the pension office, Wash D.C. investigate & find how old she was.Elizabeth Ann Jack was 38 or 39 yrs old when she married Chas J. Stevenson say in 1871. The date of her marriage was Jany 31, 1871 Mrs Holliday remembers. She is not sure where she was buried. Thinks Jane Jack, widow of Thos Jack was buried at McGarry g.y. Said to ask the Wilsons. Left 10:05 AMThomas Jack is buried over at New Harmony but has no marker but Wm Santee living in that neighborhood knows the location of it. He gives much attention to the graves of all old soldiers.

It is the old Testament, the Apocrypha & New Testament. It has more of the Thomas Jack record, but only deaths, than anything else. Mr Bayless & Mrs Holliday, who is here, say there was an epidemic of cholera on Poplar Ridge in Tiffin Tp & they think it caused the three Jack deaths in Aug 1831. This is about a mile from an old Methodist Epis Ch at New Harmony where Wm Santee says Thomas Jack is buried, but there is no marker to his grave, but he knows which is his grave. The bible record is:"Thomas Jack died Aug 11, 1831 in the 84th year of his age Nancy Jack died Aug 8, 1831Betsy Jack died Aug 9, 1831George Jack died Oct 28, 1838George Jack was Born Sept 12, 1820Jane Jack died Jany 15, 1844.

He bought early 1000 A of land on which in 1815 he laid off the village of Winchester, O on part of it, named evidently from the town in vicinity of his native home, Winchester, Va.

children, one of whom, John M. Darlinton on Jany 27, 1818 married Polly Beard & in Mch of that year moved to his new home on a part of this 1000 A where she died some ten months after their marriage.

The last named the subject of this sketch on Feby 28, 1872 married Rachel A. Smith & they have three children, George Edward, Mary Nancy & George Wilson. (evidently some mistake as there would hardly be two Georges). He occupies a portion of the old home farm adjg Winchester O.On Page 24, same "Atlas Hist" on an Article on John McClanahan it states that his grandfather John McClanahan was married twice & the family was of Irish origin. By his first marriage he had 5 children: Andrew, Robert, John, Sydney & Elizabeth. Andrew, the oldest. Andrew never came to this country. His second wife was Elizabeth Thompson. They were the parents of four children. William, Martha, Rebecca & Margaret. This grandfather John bought 100 A of Gen Massie two miles west of West Union.

I explained to him that her tombstone record would make date of her birth 1770 which was 38 yrs later that Col Crawford's birth in 1732, indicating her to be of the next generation. She also thought the Harper Crawford was of the same family, but the Robert Crawfords were of another family & no relation. Mr McClelland had but two children, both born in Oliver Tp, viz:1.

At residence of Stewart Graham Glasgow, Main St, Cherry Fork, Adams Co, O Oct 24, 1925 9 AM I left West Union, O with J. Will Francis at 8 AM & arrived here about 20 minutes ago. Mr Glasgow is the son of Robt Anderson Glasgow by his second wife Jane Smiley. His first wife was Dorcas Finley, daughter of Wm Finley & sister of Porter Finley, William Finley, Martha Campbell, Mary Glasgow et al. He & Dorcas had four children as he recalls. Three of whom died young & the other, Joseph L. Glasgow died in the Civil War. He married Angeline Cunningham after he enlisted, but had no issue. She afterwards married Jeff Morrison & died at Mattoon, Ills & probably buried there. Had a son & daughter by him. Robt A. Glasgow mar Margaret Steele for his 3d wife & she had no issue, but took his bible with family record with her to Oskaloosa, Iowa where she lived in the family of Rev John Gilmore. She died there & Rev Gilmore & his wife, who was a sister of the 3d Mrs Glasgow also died there leaving a son Jno? Steele Gilmore & a daughter Clara who mar a Rev Calhoun, a U.P. minister. The last he heard of her she had lost her mind & was in a sanitarium out at Topeka, Kan. The Robt A. Glasgow bible would, no doubt be with one of them. Dorcas was buried in the old part of the cem here & has a flat slab over her grave. Robt Glasgow son of Finley Glasgow mar Phebe, dau of Glasgow Finley & he died abt two yrs ago at Seaman, O & he with

V15 Page 97

his wife, who died many years before are buried at Tranquility. His son J. Ora Glasgow lives at Mt Oreb, O. Had also a dau Tiny, single who might be about Seaman. Had 5 or 6 children died young. Says Silas Dyer McIntire was mar twice & had 4 children that he knows of by 1st wife, & six by last wife & his son Herbert by 2d wife lives on a part of the old farm & another son Wilbur lives at the old home. Mr Glasgow was born Sept 17, 1854 & his brother Arthur born 1852, lives in the town & his bro J. Gilmore who I saw on 11th at Seaman is younger. Says

Mrs Martha Glasgow nee Wasson aged 84 widow of J. Steele Glasgow (whose father he thinks was 1st cousin to his own father) is well informed & can probably tell more of the old connection. Mr G's wife was a Brown. Leaving 9:29 AM

V15 Page 98

At residence of Mrs Martha Melvina Glasgow, Main St, Cherry Fork, O Oct 24, 1925 9:55 AM I came across the street from Stewart G. Glasgow's 20 minutes ago. Mrs Glasgow is the widow of John Steele Glasgow & he & his brother James were first cousins of Robert A. Glasgow, the father of Stuart G. Glasgow. James Glasgow had a son Robert Glasgow who married Mary, the daughter of William Finley of Robert Sr & she distinctly remembers that he was a first cousin of her husband. He & Mary went when she was a young girl with some children to Washington, Iowa where she eat [sic] a dinner after returning from church & died. He died one morning shortly thereafter & both are buried at Washington, Iowa. Says some of them went away west a long time ago, but there may be some of them there yet. Don't know what relation they were to Finley Glasgow. Neither Mrs G> nor Stewart G., who has come across know of any brothers of Finley Glasgow, except Stuart Glasgow who went to Peoria, Ills. His first wife was Elizabeth Askain [best guess] of this section & he mar 2d Edith McCullough. He died at Peoria, Ills 2 or 3 yrs ago. Mr G. says his brother, John Smiley Glasgow, the oldest of the second wife's

V15 Page 99

children got up a history of the Glasgow family back for over 100 years. He died 10 yrs ago at Olney, Ills & the last Mr G. heard of it was about 4 yrs ago when Everett Fenton Glasgow, son of John I. visited my informant's daughter at Cincin, O when he told her he had this record. He then lived & does yet, at Pontiac, Michigan. Neither one remembers of any brothers or sisters of Glasgow Finley.Mr G. says that Finley Glasgow married Jane Campbell who was a younger half sister of his father, Robert A. Glasgow, his grandfather's widow having married a Campbell. Mrs Glasgow says that William Campbell who married Martha Finley, dau of Wm, was a brother of her mother, Martha Campbell. Their parents were James Campbell & Martha Patton, but were not related, so far as they know to the Campbell that Mr Glasgow's grandmother, Martha Campbell, married, Thomas Campbell Wasson & she, my informant was born in Wayne Tp, Feby 8, 1840. On Oct 18, 1860, she married John Steele Glasgow, born May 27, 1838 & died Apr 5, 1909. He was son of John Glasgow, & his wife. An obituary notice of the death of Robert Glasgow (which Mrs G. says was a few yrs after his wife died) taken from "Washington, Iowa Press" speaks of the death of his wife on the lounge on May 5, 1884 & says he was born in Adams Co, O Apr 12, 1820, the son of James & Mary McNeil Glasgow,

[margin note reads:] *Dec 11/25 Mr S.G. Glasgow writes Dec 8/25 small env filed that his daughter is Mrs H.C. Smith, 3606 Edwards Road, Hyde Park, Cincinnati, O

also natives of Adams Co but says his grandfather came from Ireland & fought in the Revolution & was an early comer to Ohio. The father, James, staid [sic] on the paternal farm until 1856 when he came to Wayne Co, Iowa. In 1840, Robert married Miss Mary R. Finley & staid on the farm until 1854 when he came here. Had 5 children, James, William F., Martha, Lorenzo G. & Mrs Allen White. Mrs G. has to get up. Leaving 12:05 PM

At residence of Robert Arthur Glasgow, Main St, Cherry Fork, Adams Co, O Oct 24, 1925 11:42 AM I arrived here in the rain half an hour ago & Mrs Glasgow who was a Caskey, has along with her husband

succeeded in getting the Glasgow connection straightened out. Mr Glasgow says that his grandfather was Joseph Glasgow & after his death, his widow married a Campbell & one of her Campbell children married Wm Porter Breckenridge & Ed S. Breckenridge & Araminta McIntire of Seaman are their children. Mrs G. says that Mary R. Finley, sister of Porter was bridesmaid to her mother & also recall of having heard her mother often speak of Rosanna Finley (who according to my records is an Aunt of Mary R.) & who married Robert Glasgow & became the mother of Finley Glasgow & Stuart Glasgow (first cousins of Robt A., my informant's father) & thus then is proved up that Robert who married Rosanna Finley (dau of the elder Robert Finley of the 17 children) was the brother of Joseph & both were sons of Robert who came out from Ireland in 1765 & came to this Co abt 1793 & died abt 1806 see Evans 1900 Hist of Adams Co. Mrs G. says a Mrs Finley died leaving a baby

V15 Page 102

girl & at the same time the baby of Phebe Patton (grandmother of my informant Mrs G.) had died & she took the Finley child, suckled & raised it & gave it her name "Phebe" Finley. The father came a year or so after & took the baby home & it cried all night, would not sleep & wanted to go "back to mother", so the next morning, he took her back & "gave her to Mrs Patton" who wouldn't take her on any other terms.

about 7 miles west of here.

Mr K. remembers that his stepfather was related to the Kerrs, the McCagues, & the Smileys, of whom he has often heard him talk. There was a Rev Thomas McCague, a U.P. preacher who he says went to Nebraska & Mrs K. thinks it was to Omaha he went. She said he one time pursued his work in Egypt. They used to live at Ripley, O where the Kerr's also lived & he thinks there are some elderly Kerrs living there now. He thinks Albert's grandchildren, the Williams boys living in the old home, a big brick in Decatur, O Brown Co would have the old Liggett Bible, so I have arranged to go over there in the morning. Albert had but one child, a daughter & she married J. Robert Williams, a lawyer there. Albert had been a school teacher. He would be able to give information. Mrs K. says to write to: Miss Margaret E. Liggett, 363 S. Grant St, Denver Colorado who is a daughter of Wm Liggett, is aged over 73 yrs & a sister of Albert. She lives with some cousins named Wright, their mother having been a sister of Wm Liggett's first wife who was a Bayne.

He said the Sarah Margaret Campbell house at Unity was locked up but that Delbert McClelland had the key & he would telephone him to let me in to look over the old papers & letters that might be there.

One was a big well preserved bible printed in Edinburgh in 1791 & looked as though it might have been the elder Robert Finley's, but it had written in the front "Robert Finley 1840". The letter from Anna McClung is:"Mary Finley married (R.) Anderson Glasgow, one son was born, his name was Joseph. He died or was killed in the Civil War. His mother died when he was small.There was another sister. She was

Leaving 9:55 PM

When I first arrived here at 6:44 PM, I penciled down what Mr Washburn first told me & now at 11 PM at office of Martin Hotel at Peebles, O am transcribing it & it should be read in at top of page 202.Mr Washburn at first talked of three brothers coming to Manchester together & one of them, he thought John, was

his great grandfather, but later talk convinced me that he meant his grandfather, as he later so alluded to him. He said he went to a place about three miles straight north of Sinking Springs, to a place in Highland Co which his son T. Ed says is Butler springs, O & took up a large tract of land & he & a little child are buried on it. & which he went

V15 Page 211

to from Manchester, O & where a child also is buried. He & two other brothers first stopped at Manchester & the other two settled between Bentonville, & Georgetown, but nearer to Bentonville. One of the brothers was "Jake". He thought his grandfather's name was John. His father was Benjamin Washburn. He doesn't have his father's bible. Says his brother, John Washburn took it west with him to Blanchard, Iowa, where he died an old bachelor & the oldest boy of the family, who died there about 1908 aged 70 years. His father died when he was about 10 yrs old of lung trouble say abt 1849 & is buried in the cemetery here at "Jacktown" & has a monument. His mother died in Nebraska at her daughters & they brought her back to Coyne, Iowa for burial, the cemetery there being on the edge of the town & she has a marker & was 88 yrs old, so Mrs "Ed" Washburn says. They daughter moved back from Nebraska to Iowa. He says the children of his parents were:1. John Washburn, bachelor, buried at Coyne Iowa & has nice marker.2. a little girl died when 6 or 8 mos old with the croup in Highland Co, Ohio.3. Thomas, my informant4. George Washington5. Collins6. James7. Mary Ann, the youngest.

V15 Page 212

The mother, nee Mary Ann Thoroman daughter of Thomas, who was son of Thomas & his wife Esther Crawford was born Dec 10, 1815 so "Ed's" wife says. Mr W. says his great grandfather was married twice & his last wife's name was Charlotte, I think it was his grandfather Thomas whose second wife was Charlotte. No, he was right. It was his ggf.John took the old bible & after John died, he thinks Geo W. got it. (or possibly his sister, Mary Ann Oliver may have gotten it) Geo W. is dead but probably gave bible to his brother James's son Rolla, who lives at Bellville, Kansas, where he is a farmer. They have a fine photo of the five brothers standing & the one sister seated taken in 1910 at Bellville Kan when my informant was there on a visit all large men. It would be a good picture for my Crawford book.Another picture for my book is a fine photo of Mr & Mrs Collins Washburn seated with nine of their eleven children standing back of them, also taken they say at Bellville, Kan.

At residence of Edgar Allen Poe Black, Meigs Tp, Adams Co, O (P.O. Peebles, O RD 1) Oct 29, 1925 4:30 PM We have just arrived here from James T. Thoroman's & find Mr Black driving in to the stable with a sled load of fodder & his wife out milking & he said he wd have to continue & finish up his work before it got dark, but he went in the house & lit two lamps, put some wood on a smouldering fire & got out the big old bible of his mother's father, Samuel Thompson, which was printed by John B. Perry Phila 1858. He said he was sure his grandfather Samuel Thompson came from Penna but don't know from what town or county nor when he came here, nor does he know of any brothers or sisters or the name of his father. Said his wife was Lantz, also from Penna. The bible does not disclose anything, but what I got from his nephew, Robert O. Black near the Sproull bridge on Oct 18 th. Left 4:40 PMWe then drove back & stopped at W. Ray Stewart's, see page 201 & from there, came to "Wash" Thoroman's &

found the house dark & locked up & noticed his auto at the edge of town as we drove in, but didn't see him.

Back at "Jack" Weber's, Martin Hotel, Peebles O Oct 29, 1925 5:30 PM Among the bright spots & outstanding features of the day were the superior characters we met in both Mr & Mrs Jacob Traber & Mr & Mrs Abel S. Gayman. Mr Traber is a strong character & has a wonderful memory. He has this one year more to teach (he is getting $100 a month & he will then have taught long enough to entitle him to a pension.) By reason of our conference, he was 15 minutes late getting off on this three mile walk to his school & started out across the fields on a run at his age & the thermometer at 17 above zero. Mr Gayman is a big strong intelligent man & was very kind. His wife, Tilliza is a treasure. She is of the average size neither fleshy or lean & is a very superior cook & housekeeper. Her biscuits were the lightest & largest & best I have ever eaten & she served them good & hot. She had too, a very tasty & good butter or preserves made from ground berries. Just as I went out to go, I had a call of nature & went to their privy about 20 to 25 feet deep & had a good full passage, but the surprise was that the privy was scrubbed as clean as a kitchen bread bowl & swept as clean as a parlor.Coming in, P.O. said that Daniel B.

V15 Page 215

Thomas was insured in the Modern Woodman of America & Mrs W. Ray Stewart, his only child, got the $3000 insurance money. W. Ray Stewart has over 400 A of good land & is well fixed financially. Their son & daughter there were fine bright children & the boy, Geo Wm has an exceptionally bright face. Their oldest son lives with his grandmother (Ray's mother) in the fine brick house, this side of the good frame house (old home) where Ray lives. P.O. says he, the son, has lived there since he was weaned with his grandmother.P.O.'s father, Isaac Wm Thomas was in the Royal Arcanum & they got $3000 insurance money. He says if everyone were of the excellent citizenship that Geo H., John B., James T. & Washington Thoroman, brothers, bore & bear they could dispense with the Sheriff's office.

Mr Crawford has a copy of the will of Col Wm Crawford among his papers.

I find a letter to George Crawford, Wrightsville, O dated Nashville, O Aug 4, 1905 from Joshua Crawford, who Oakley says has died he thinks in 1918, well written in a good plain hand who said he was trying to obtain records of all the Crawfords in America to be printed in E.A. Crawford's book. Says he learns from the Butterfield Hist of the Crawford campaign that Capt John Crawford (son of Col Wm Crawford who was burned at the stake by the

Indians) emigrated to near the mouth of Brush Creek In Adams Co, O. Says if you are John Crawford's grandson, can you not tell what year he settled there. Asks if he can get an old family bible that wd give name of his wife & each of his children. Says he is not a descendant of Col Wm Crawford, but is a kinsman & belongs to same line. Says can write him, if he desires, many facts connected with Crawford Hist.

V15 Page 246

Leaving 3:44 PMWe then walked down the lane to the old brick house on the banks of the Ohio River, fine location & went in the house containing 12 rooms with fine old stair way & stair rail of walnut probably & perfectly ceiled with fence board width, which Oakley sd were cut off the farm. At the head of the stairs is a dark room which was used as a bee room where

V15 Page 257

many bees were kept & Geo W.C. said there were holes left through the brick walls for the bees to enter through. He said this house was built by his father Geo W. Crawford & he thought all of his father's children were born there. The house is occupied by Jasper N. Gregory, wife & children. Mrs Gregory & children showed us through the house. She said the present owner was Ben Blye who had recently bought it. It is located 3/4 of a mile or more from the Pike or road & a muddy lane leads down to it which we walked down & back. The g.y. is along west side of lane 3/4 way down. We then drove on past the Grimes farm & turned to the left & going up in the timber found the fence posts & one crude sandstone marker, no inscriptions in the old Grimes Graveyard. The Grimes had been buried down on the river & when the caskets were washed to view & they moved them to this high ground. We drove back to Oakey's & found Mrs C. Had supper about ready at 6:15 & we ate & she at 7 went out dressed as were the others, girls who had gathered in fantastically [sic] with the others downtown to Halloween & I questioned & wrote down what G.W.C. & Oakley could tell me from 7 to 9 when Oakley walked in town with me to Murphys store where they told me Andrew McIntire had left a month ago

McIntireI then came to the hotel & Mrs Cooper, the clerk showing me where Tom Coopers little grocery store was out east second st on the south side opposite the Presbyterian Church, I walked up in the cold & found him standing by the fire (stove) & two men sitting by who proved to be Ben Blye & Lewis Young, the latter of Manchester & I talked with the three an hour until 11 PM. Ben Blye said he had recently bought the old Crawford house & 225 to 227 A of it & the Grimes farm from a brother of Jacob Cline, living at Batavia, Ohio who is settling his estate for $10,000 (Oakey sd he pd $2000 down & gave mtge for $10,000) which he said figure of $44.44 per acre for 225 A but it ran 227 A. He said the deed reserved access to the g.y. for the Crawfords. He said he was building a house for a home on the line half on the Crawford farm & half on the Grimes.

Mr Tom Cooper said his mother was a daughter of Dan Bayless & Jane Jack & there were eleven children in their family & while he did not have their family bible, he could give record of their birth children etc from memory & would come to my room 21 when I am writing by a fire Clark

He said he had a chest at home that was brought over from Ireland, he thought County Tyrone, but wasn't sure, by his grandmother, 10 Bayless great grandmother Jack. We had a very interesting talk for an hour. Mr Young said there was an old Mr Stevenson who lived to be over 90 who knew well the early history of these parts but he died a few yrs ago, but he would see what he could learn from the family & write me.It is now 4:30 AM Nov 1, & I will get ready for bed as I left a call for 7 o'clock.

Perhaps, I have the book at home.I walked over with Tom W. Cooper to the "bachelor" room in which he lives & he showed me the plain old chest that his ancestors brought from Ireland. It is sixteen inches deep & sixteen inches wide & 3 feet long. As he said, it wasn't worth a dollar, but he wouldn't take a hundred for it. I then went across the street to the Pres Ch g.y. meeting the people coming out at 11:30 as I went up the walk as the g.y. comes right up to & back of the Church. A big strong 6 foot man seeing me, came over & helped hunt out inscriptions & turn over fallen stones.

V15 Page 303

riage docket (which I did not have time to examine) & said that marriage license no 10 page 534 was for A.G. McCague to M.L. Kirkpatrick abt 1878 1879. Mr Carskaddon says can find him in the Provident Bank Building where they have an office where his son William would be in if he wasn't. Judge Waters took me upstairs at 11:55 AM & introduced me to Col H.L. Jennings who he called out of the court room where he is bailiff ortipstave [sic] & he said to wait five minutes until court adjourned which I did. He has no recollection of any lady talking to him about the Liggetts & thinks Miss Liggett is mistaken or it might have been some other Jennings. Closed 12:12 PMI then walked out the street & was:

was John Thompson who died aged abt 75 yrs. Her grandfather she says was Edward Thompson. Her grandfather had three sons viz:James Thompson oldestWilliam Thompson nextJohn Thompson youngestThey came here from Germantown, KY & they had sisters:Violette Thompson who married Jas Richards andMargaret who married John Foster who had lived at Washington C.H. O.She thinks Edward's father was James & said he was a Baptists preacher & got drowned in a swollen creek. He, Edward, had a mill & each of his three sons built mills here & lived at White Oak, a mile from here & all three mills were near together & they took their flour to New Orleans, La to market.She says her Uncle William's daughter Mrs Susan McCoggin, a widow aged 83 yrs had three children, all of whom have died & she lives with a niece & a grandson at Rushville, Ind in the town. Her husband McCoggin was a Civil War veteran & she gets a pension. She says her grandmother Thompson was Susannah Feagins whose father

V15 Page 305

was a recruiting officer & got 1000 A of land from the government & another great grandfather had gotten 1000 A also for his services & both grants were located right near Georgetown, O. This great grandfather`s name was Robert Curry who died comparatively young, aged she thought 35 to 40 years. Her brother, Charles Dimmitt Thompson lived in Ky & his son whose full name as I see on a $10 bill gotten in change at Georgetown, O is Charles L. Thompson Asst Cashr of the First Natl Bank, Georgetown, O who she wished me to see. They wanted to give her great grandfather, Capt Feagins his 1000 A in Ky & he refused to accept it in a slave state, hence it was given to him in this county. It was located where the Fair Ground is, which adjoins the cemetery where I was this morning & included the Pres Ch adjoining & her home where she is now telling me & he was buried in the orchard down in the present Fair Grounds. He died of what they then called the "Cold Plague" congestion of the lungs, known now as pneumonia which was then she said so called. She said in those early days, the Indians would get on top of the house & would smoke them out.

V15 Page 306

Her maiden name was Elizabeth Thompson & her husband was Aaron DeWitt Crouch & she said she was born on Bald Point a mile north of here in Lewis Tp on Mch 21, 1840 where her cousin Victor Thompson, son of her Uncle William recently died. Mr Waters showed me the home this afternoon as we drove out. She is a most inveterate talker & I could hardly get her stopped long enough to say goodbye. She said she wanted a book & when I said it would be 4 or 5 yrs before I could get it out, she said she wouldn't be living then, but I think she will. Left at 12:46 PM

Coming from her home to the Biehn Hotel where I was stopping, I noted that the fine tall Hamer monument stands on the N.W. corner of the court house square & bears the inscription 1800-----1846 . To Brigadier General Thomas Lyon Hamer, speaker of Ohio House of Representatives 1828, member of Congress 1833-1839, Re-elected 1846. nominated U.S. Grant as a cadet to West Point, commander of Ohio volunteers in Mexican War. Died at Monterey, Mexico Dec 2, 1846.

V15 Page 307

I read it as I passed & stepped across the street to the hotel & wrote it down while waiting for them to bring my

dinner in.

A man from Marion, O, a lawyer, I think who sat same table with me last night for supper & this morning for breakfast said that Gov "Vic" Donahey was neither a brilliant, nor an able man, but was inherently an absolutely honest man & having that reputation as being a fair square man, he had won both races for Governor & is now serving the first year of his second two year term & says if he runs again, he would surely be elected again as his Ohio constituency prefer a man they know as honest, rather than risk an abler man who might not prove to be honest. He said he himself was a Republican, but had voted for Donahey. He said Donahey was first elected Auditor of the State advertising himself by Post card photo of himself with his 12 to 15 children surrounding him & his strength, which commended him to the voters was in knowing how to raise children.

V15 Page 308

As I went into lunch, Mr & Mrs Jno Bodey, Prop of the hotel Biehn & their handsome red-haired daughter were sitting in the hall & I asked Mr Bodey to get me a taxi man to drive me to Hamersville & Mt Oreb & possible [sic] back to Georgetown, if we didn't get through in time to take the N&W train at Mt Oreb, so when I came out, the man was waiting & Mrs Bodey told me to pay her daughter, which I did & I started & upon asking the driver of the Ford his name, I found he was the father of the Judge I had been with, his name being as I wrote down at 3:44 PM as we passed through Shiloh, O William Robert Waters born on N. Main St, Georgetown, O May 22, 1869. He said his son the Probate Judge, Howard Dunn Waters, a handsome man, had been educated & put through Ohio University at some sacrifice, but he was their only child was now 32 yrs old & five yrs ago when 27 yrs old, was elected probate judge for a 4 yr term & was re-elected a year ago. They are Democrats & say the County is Democratic. Mr W.R.W's wife is a D.A.R. through a Hamilton ancestor. She was a Dunn. Her people having lived out by New Hope 7 miles out & her grandmother (he thought the mother of her father was a daughter or Robert Hamilton a Rev. Soldier,

V15 Page 309

& when I mentioned that three Hamilton brothers at an early day had settled in Westnd Co, Pa he thought that was the location he has heard them mention.He said Genl Grant was born at Point Pleasant, O in Clermont, the adjoining Co on the Ohio river &his father moved his family here to Georgetown, O when U.S. was 2 yrs old, which would be in 1824.

on the harrow to do. The swish of the birds scared the horses & they ran off with the harrow & her & she was killed.Finley Glasgow, his grandfather, the father of above children died at Weldon, DeWitt Co, Ills & Ora thinks his family bible would be with his Uncle William Glasgow who lives right in Weldon, Ills a retired farmer aged abt 70 & who has six children.

He said Finley Glasgow's brothers & sisters were:1. Anderson Glasgow and2. Another son who lived in Peoria Co, Ills & was a great big man. It came time. I had to go & I left my address & asked him to write me & send me a list of the brothers & sisters of Finley Glasgow & Glasgow Finley his two grandfathers. He said his sister Tina had a full history of the Glasgow family back to Richmond, VA & from the way he spoke of it, I infer it is in book form & printed. See page 364 Left 5:40 PMWe reached Georgetown at 6:30 PM & I got a good supper & was driven by Mr Waters assistant to the C.G.&P Traction Sta & took the 7 Pm car for Cincinnati, O.

Nov 23, 1925 1 PM made all slips to here JVTOak Hill, Nov 11, 1925 3:33 AM Wm H. Hogg of Mountain Lake, NJ has been with me here since 3:30 PM yesterday 10th & has just gone to bed in the French room. He is son of Wm Hogg (see book 5 p 464) who on Oct 20, 1879 when aged 59 yrs shot Wm H., my informant, then 12 yrs old born Jany 1867, through the head, putting his arm around his head & firing, the bullet entering at base of right ear front & coming out at top of left ear front, scars still visible, also shooting my informant's sister in the right ear taking a downward course neither fatal & then shot himself dead, as told me Sept 29, 1921 by cousin Albert Lincoln Moore at Bloomington, Ills. They had by reason of financial reverses, moved the day before from Bloomington, Ill to Normal, Ill to a house which had been occupied by a negro tenant.

He remembers stepping over his father's dead body & running screaming across the street where he fell unconscious. Said he & his sister walked up from Normal & his father went up on a mule or freight street car & overtaking them stopped the car & asked them to get on which they declined. Wm H. was playing in the attic when he heard a shot & ran down with his playmate Abe Rosenthal (Reed)

V15 Page 316

His father did not arrive at the house until two hours after they did & they learned afterwards, he had been to a hardware store & bought a revolver, his second wife who he had married four months before having taken from him a revolver she found him handling a few nights before. His father, Wm Hogg 1820-1879 was the son of John Hogg who his rich Uncle Wm Hogg of Brownsville, Pa the merchant, had had come over from England in 1807 when 18 yrs old & who went to Mt Pleasant O & started a store & was one of the executors of his Uncle William's will a copy of which my informant has. This John, was a son of Percival Hogg, a brother of William of Brownsville, Pa, who John later brought over from England & whose grave at Mt Pleasant, O, I saw in August last. Percival's brother John also came over & located at Newark, O & was known as "John of Newark".John of Mt Pleasant, O had a dau who mar Robert Vincent Simeral first & married second & had children George Simeral.Robert Carrithers came to Mt Pleasant, O about 1796 as died Jesse Thomas & others & it was decided by lot that

V15 Page 317

Robert Carrithers take title to the land from the government & the town was first called "Jesse-Bob-Town" & later changed to Mt Pleasant. They came from Pennsylvania. I think from Washington Co, Pa see my records book 11 p 565 in which it shows their oldest child Samuel was born in 1783.Wm H. Says his father was not a spiritualist & that he was always neat & tidy in his dress, but his second wife while a good woman was not of the neat type, he was. He says Harriet Niccolls dau of John & Maria Niccolls, book 5 p 464 was known as "Hattie" & her husband H.G. Reeves was he thinks a member of congress. He says to ask Robt E. Niccolls as to whether he had issue.Page 466 Book 5 Jno Niccolls last & 8th child was James Elliott Niccolls & he married my informant's sister, Sarah Eleanor Hogg for his first wife & married 2d Marietta Albertson from the Quaker settlement of Indiana.He married his first wife in 1875 & she is buried in Carthage, Mo & he at Kansas City, Mo. There were two children by the first wife & one by the second viz:

V15 Page 318

1. Robert Elliott Niccolls who married Beatrice Howell & live at 188 Third Ave, Brooklyn, NY where he is with the Manifold Supplies Co, I think they have one child, a son Robt E. Jr.2. Eleanor Niccolls who married Henry Wright & live at 4701 Foster Ave, Long Island City, NY & have I believe four children. He is a very fine man & has business that often takes him west making the trips by auto.3. Rolland Niccolls. He says there were no other children.

Eleanor's children are:1. Eleanor now in Bernard College, which is the female Dept of Columbia University, NY city.2. Elliott in the engineering Dept of the Cincinnati, University.3. Henry Wright, now a junior in the Long Island High School4. Marian Wright. In the Horace Mann Grammar School of Columbia University NY

He gave me the address of: Ed L. Finley Attorney at Law Sinclair Building Steubenville, OHe thinks there was a Henry Zoll at Sedalia, Mo see book 11 p 565. Wm H's wife is a daughter of Judge Shirk of Sedalia, Mo is a large

V15 Page 319

buxom, flirtatious, woman of 180 lbs who has a position in Gimbel Bros Store NY & he weighs 142 lbs & is not as tall as I am but is dressed very neatly. He has four sons & four daughters, including twin boys all born within ten years & I think he said he was married in 1895 & he says his wife has since had the doctors take three from her prematurely.I went out to Spring Dale this morning & was at brother Will's from 10:20 to 10:42 AM. I think he went home from the hospital last week after being there seventeen days after having an operation performed in which they removed his gall bladder which had adhered to the stomach & thus causing the severe excruciating pain from which he suffered last summer & last month in which he said he lost 25 lbs in ten days & now weighs but 148, they also removed his appendix. Will completes his 74 yrs on Friday 13th inst.One Sunday in Oct while I was gone, he went in town to S.S. & then officiated at communion, came out on the street car & walked across the field to the house, got his dinner & went to afternoon S.S. at Sandy Hill of which he is Supt, then went in to the hospital that evening & went on the operating table on the next day, Monday afternoon.

V15 Page 320

Wm H. Hogg told me he had secured at Cadiz or Steubenville, the Benj Mitchell Church book in which the sessions minutes were recorded & read therein, that his Aunt Sarah Anne Hogg Simeral had been reinstated in Church on her penitent contrition, having after Mr Simeral's death, been read out of church for pre-nuptial fornication, but she afterwards married the man Withrow & the child which was thereby legitimatized & married Smith, the blacksmith. He told me his wife's mother died when she was nine years old & her nature of extravagant expenditures has caused both her father & himself untold humiliation & misery & he virtually left home last June & has been on family research work since, after finding proof of criminal liaisons she has had with several different men who wait upon & flatter her to which she is very susceptible. It is now 5:25 AM Nov 11, 1925 JVT

He had formerly lived at Warsaw, Mo whence he came from Penna. Thinks his children are at Sedalia, Mo. He was a contemporary of Wm H's father-in-law Judge William Stauffer Shirk, whose name he said had been shortened from Sherrick. He also gave me the address of John A. Simeral 4410 Forest Ave, Pgh, Pa (Bellevue Tel Linden 1414) who prepared "The Simeral Family" to whom he was referred by Miss Emma L. Grimes Regent of the D.A.R. Steubenville, O whose brother Latimer L. Grimes is Prest of Peoples Natl Bank, Steubenville, O.

I was in Pgh Thursday 14th inst & phoned Jno A Simeral who said his book only treated of the descendants of his great grandfather Alexander Simeral & did not give those of his brother Thomas Simeral.

Oak Hill, Nov 16, 1925 11:57 PM I have been reading the Simeral book tonight & think I have found trace of Samuel Thompson's daughter Sarah Simeral on page 9 where it states that William Simeral the son of Alexander Simeral & his wife Jena Lindsay & to whom they conveyed their farm in 1783 see deed book A p 337 Gbg P in Huntingdon Tp & who dying intestate in 1796, letters of Admr were granted Dec 15, that year to Sarah Simeral & George Blummer. Look up Adm records. Also see book 14 p 72 to 77 where Alexander there referred to as having 11 children is one of the sons under 16 yrs of age referred to in the census of 1790. Look up particularly the conveyance by his heirs of the farm that his father deeded him in 1783 & see who went on Sarah Simeral's bond. Make slip for this & also for going to Penn

12*7 Not of our Kilgores see J.K.J's Kilgore History.

Sta without delay & see if his eleventh & youngest child, Ann who married John? Saeger is still living see book 14 p 73. This eliminates Robert Vincent Simeral who married Sarah Ann Hogg see page 330 this book as we see on page 11 of the Simeral hist that he is son of James, who was son of Alexander Jr who was a brother of William above named who died in 1796.

Oak Hill Nov 17, 1925 9:05 PM When in Pgh today, I went up to the right of R.S. Euler's office to see A.B. Shaw of their bond dept at 12 o'c noon & he said he had been with the Union Trust Co for 25 yrs & had charge of the securities & was now doing two mens work. He said Wm H? Shaw, 86 yr old Civil War veteran of Connellsville, Pa who died this month was his cousin & they were both descendants of Moses McCormick (I think he said McCormick, not Crawford) & that Province McCormick, the ancestor of the late Henry P. Snyder was also, & he said he had a record of the family & descendants, much of the data for which he said he got from a very old relative with a wonderful memory living in Ohio several years ago. He at first didn't know why I wanted it, but when I explained about my efforts down the Ohio River last month & what I was wanting to do, he said he would gladly cooperate with me & I said I would be glad to have him prepare the needful sketch for their branch which were pleased him [sic]. I said if he wd let me have his records, I would copy same & return original to him with one or two carbon copies. He said Col Crawford, only had one full brother, Valentine Crawford, which if Correct upsets Anjou's placing of him & I felt Anjou's birth date was not right. He said the Col's father married Honora Grimeswho he said was a strapping big raw boned woman who after

V15 Page 337

the death of Col Crawford's father married a Stevenson by whom she had five sons, half brothers of Col Crawford, most or all of whom went south mostly to Kentucky. He said Mr Cogley who told me of Mr Shaw having these records was his nephew, possibly by marriage but may be by blood. Look up my Connellsville, Pa history in hall book case & see what it reveals. Nov 23/25 there is nothing biographical or genealogical in it.

James Caruthers born near Glasgow, Scotland so his granddaughter, Miss Julia R. Edgmon of Quincy, Ill writes Nov 24, 1925 & when six yrs old came with his parents to Tennessee, town & Co not known to her, & remained there until his parents died & afterwards settled in Madison Co, Ills & later moved to Morgan Co, Ills where he took up 400 A near Waverly Ill & lived many years acting as a doctor to the community in the absence of a physician & died there of apoplexy Nov 28, 1849 aged 57 yrs & is buried in their home g.y. on the farm. He had 4 sons & 5 daughters. He had a fine slab marker surmounting a wall built for it. He had one sister who in the 40s went overland to Oregon settling in what is now the heart of the city of Portland & evidently died without issue as

in 1860 to 1865, her heirs in Illinois recd portions of her estate. He married __________, who died Jany 8, 1857. Mrs Jane Caruthers Carter aged 78 says through Mrs Goldsmith that her grandmother was from Scotland & that her grandfather was born in Tenn. I incline however to think Miss Edgmon also in her 70s is right. Mrs Goldsmith says his children were born in Illinois. He settled near Troy, Madison Co, when he first came to Ills. See b 25 pages 364-8 & 412-5. His father was James see b 25 p 366.

James Robinson filed his account as Admr of Joshua Robinson.In Sept 1801, John Robinson of Georges Tp was appointed gdn of same minors in Lieu of those formerly appointed.

Reynolds Ross was born Apr 2, 1755. He was born in Ireland & was 20 yrs older than his wife Martha Finley above. He came over in the first ship after the peace. This information was written to Edwd C. Finley Jany 5, 1912 in a three page letter by Henry Wallace, grandson of Reynolds & Martha from Des Moines, Iowa, who said he got it from his cousin, Geo A. Ross living there, "who is rather curious about these matters of family history". I am copying the letter & filing copy with letter & also copy of my answer. Henry Wallace was father of Henry C. Wallace, late secy of Agriculture who died about a year ago.on VII pageIs an acct of some Texas Finleys & a contest for 160 A in Phila which had been leased for 99 yrs in which several heirs are named.

V15 Page 355

Also Hills Plantation of Ulster gives the names of John & Patrick Finley as having got a lease for 7 yrs of the pole of Tullylurgan (a pole means a town land) from John Hamilton in 1620 in the vicinity of Killeshandra. The land owned by John Hamilton had been originally granted to John Ralston in 1608 & sold by him to Hamilton. Most of the land in Cavan was granted to relatives of the Stuart family. The property near Ralstons belonged to Esme Stuart, Lord Aubigny & Duke of Lennox, & Gordon. The Hamilton family was the same as the Duke of Abercorn. These families all came from Ayrshire. This is the first mention of a Patrick Finley I have seen abroad & maybe a forbear of Patrick Finley great great grandfather of Mrs Waite's & Mrs Barrett see book 13 p 82 & give a clue to the place from which he came & acct for the Lordship story. In his letter of June 24th bottom of page, large env filed, he recommends Edward Houston, Esq of 26 Sandymount Ave, Ballsbridge, Dublin, as very efficient in getting records & reasonable. Says he has done work for him & he can recommend him to anyone. I am writing him to send him to Co Cavan to run down Alexr Finlay's descendants from 1568.I have made note on Page III of this letter that his ancestor, George, might be a grandson of John Finley born Apr 9, 1636, bro of my Robert, see Anjou Hist P 341 refer to this letter in large env filed.

At Laughlin Graveyard, Redstone Tp, Fayette Co, Pa, Dec 8, 1925 11:30 AM This g.y. is on what I understand was the old Hugh Laughlin farm, but I found no tombstone or marker with his name. The farm was owned 25 yrs ago by Clark B. Campbell when I bought the coal & I believe it was encumbered by a Higinbotham dower (perhaps mother of George). The shff sold C.B. out & it got in the hands of John Phillips who sold 50 A including the g.y. & buildings, old stone house, which he sold 12 yrs ago to David or Daniel Buriff of High House then, who with his wife, both of whom I saw today, live there. The graves are up across the field to the left & west of the house & are enclosed in a substantial & enduring stone wall, masonry built 5 ft high 2 ft think 12 ft wide & 25 ft long. Inside across the south end are the graves of Mary Breading & Nathaniel Breading, covered with good perfectly preserved slabs supported by walls some 3 ft high built under them & beyond, the upright tombstone of Wm Breading, their son, I suppose. No other markers within, but Mr Buriff says he thinks a Gribble who once lived there buried a child or two in the north end of the enclosure. He don't know who built the

V15 Page 359

old stone house, but says he had been told it was 150 yrs old. I think it probably more likely that it was built 130 to 135 yrs ago. The inscriptions are:From page 301 240. Sacred to the memory of Nathaniel Breading who departed this life Apr 22, A.D. 1821, aged 70 yrs & 1 mos

At residence of Mrs Eliza Jane Keener, German Tp, Fayette Co, Pa (P.O. McClellandtown, Pa RFD No 1) Dec 8, 1925 2 PM As we drove up, Addie F. was waiting on the porch, I having written her on Saturday that I would be there today if it didn't rain. She said her brother Alpheus H. had just gone to the funeral of Laura Dearth Moser, wife of J. Frank Moser. I went in & met her mother who was active & spry & didn't look her years by ten or fifteen. They said they had quite a party & big dinner week before last on Thanksgiving Day Nov 26, her birthday celebrating the close of her 88th year, born Nov 26, 1873, natural daughter of Elizabeth Brown (dau of Wm of James & Elizabeth) see book 9 at May 2, 1923 by Dr Jeremiah Boyd see Apr 9, 1925 book 13 page 112.She wanted to tell me about a cupboard or desk that her Uncle Dan Flick had which was made out of 40 different kinds of wood. She said her first cousin, Wm Brown Flick, had it & I told her that when passing through Beallsville, Pa sometime, I would stop & see his widow & see if it was about the house yet. She said Rachel J. Huston was

V15 Page 363

living alone in the big brick house beyond her, since her husband, Hugh Thompson Huston had died. She said her father John W. Lynch, the squire had married a Sharpnack & I think now that I recall that his wife was a sister of my old friend Daniel Sharpnack. She said her natural son, Wm Wilson was much away from home, selling lamp wicks & burners & she thought he was not at home today, but when I came by at 5:05 PM, I saw a light in his house where he lives alone, all of his eight children, but one being married. She said he was at his daughter's in Masontown, Pa for turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.She was very anxious to hear about Dr Jerry Boyd, but Addie was around most of the time & there was not much chance. I told her I would write out about him for her but it didn't occur until now that she being blind, would have to get someone to read it for her. Alpheus H. came home from the funeral a little before four & from 4 to 4:45 PM, we had a bountiful excellent dinner that Addie had prepared & everything was extra good & I ate of everything, much too bountifully, stuffed chicken tender, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, sausage, apple sauce, Cole slaw, good rolls & butter, celery, spiced apples, pickles, gravy, apple pie, pumpkin pie, jelly cake & good

water etc. They asked me to come back & I told them I wd. Pallini ate with us. Left 5:05 PM

Oak Hill Dec 22, 1925 9:09 PM Edmund Hayes Bell of Washington D.C. formerly of Phila Pa, came out to Brownsville, Pa with his wife to visit at her old home "Nemacolin". He said her ancestor, Jacob Bowman, had been employed by Col Robert Elliott, of Hagerstown, Md, brother of Great grandfather, Wm Elliott. He said that Isabella Lowry & her sister, Martha, I believe set sail from the North of Ireland to Join two brothers who had gone to Jamaica, West Indies & were landed at Balto, Md where Martha died & word came too that the brothers had died of yellow fever at Jamaica & Isabella, aged 17 was left alone. Robt Elliott who was a relative, sent for her to come to Hagerstown & tutor his daughter which he had to his first wife. He said Matthew Elliott of Pgh who joined the British army in the Revolutionary War was a brother of Col. Robert & Mr Bell when in Europe this summer (he rtd in Oct) found his affidavit & claim vs the British Government for his property at Pgh which had been taken by the U.S. & which was paid by the English Gov. In this affidavit, he said he was a native of Donegal, Ireland. Jacob Bowman, son of Simon Bowman, worked for Robt Elliott at Ha-

V15 Page 378

gerstown, Md, married Isabella Lowry. Elliott & Bowman were partners at Brownsville, Pa as Indian traders. Isabella's mother was, I believe a Blair & their home in Donegal was, I think, Castle Finn? He, Col Robert was the father of Com. Jesse Duncan Elliott.He tried when in England, Scotland, & Ireland, to find something of his great grandfather, Gen Wm Thompson, but without success. He said Gen Wm was only a half brother of Dr Robert Thompson of Lancaster, Pa & that Wm's mother was a Hamilton of the nobility. He said Rev Samuel Thomson [sic] who died in 1787 aged over 100 yrs, was a brother of Genl Wm's father. He said further that Robert's sister Mary, born 1729 reported by Anjou as marrying Geo Stevenson in 1748 did not marry Crookson, her first husband, until 1753 & after his death (his will is on record at Lancaster, Pa I think) she married Geo Stevenson. We went out to Masontown, Pa at 12 o'c noon & called on Dr Geo W. Neff & he came in with us a little after 1 PM & I had them both with me to lunch at the White Swan Hotel Coffee Shop & I walked around at 2:30 PM with the doctor to Dr Peter F. Smith's to attend his funeral which the doctor came for.

At residence of Clarence N. Stairs, No 552 Trenton Ave, Wilkinsburg, Pa Dec 23, 1923 4 PM I walked in after rapping several times & found Mrs Stairs down in cellar finishing up her pre Xmas washing. She called her mother-in-law Mrs Mary Stairs, a medium sized woman now in her 88th year & she came downstairs & seems well enough physically, but mentally, she says her memory is impaired. She could not tell what her grandparents names were certainly. Her maiden name was Mary Byerly born in 1838, daughter of Michael Byerly who she says lived in Mt Pleasant Tp, Westnd Co, Pa & she supposes she was born there. His wife was Margaret Washabaugh & her mother was Mary Ann ________. Michael & his wives are buried in the Baptists g.y. at Pennsville, Pa where he has a monument. She thought Michael's father was John or Michael, but was not sure, but didn't know who his wife was. When I asked her if it was Mary Finley, she didn't know. Said she was named for

some of her forbears. Said her father was in his 77th year when he died. His oldest son, her brother John Byerly died in Greensburgh

William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pa Room 1462, Dec 23, 1925 10 PM I was disappointed in the paucity of the information which Mrs Stairs could give, but hope I can work something out of the references given.I went out at 12:10 PM today on the PRR to Penn Sta arriving there at 1:45 PM. An elderly man who was wheeling the mail bags away said that Mrs Anna Saeger, wife of Henry Saeger died several years ago, but he said an unmarried daughter, aged 50 to 60 yrs, Dosia Saeger, lived with Jim McKissock who married her niece, about one mile out from Jeannette, Pa on the Harrison City _Pike, near the old John Myers farm, so after abt 20 minutes, I got a street car to Jeannette & a taxi man there phoned & found that Jim McKissock & Dosia with him had moved to Export, Pa 12 miles away, so I waited for the PRR to come along & took it at 2:50 PM for Wilkinsburg, Pa C.W. McGrew came in with a letter about the 20,000 A of Wash Co Pa coal lands which I wrote he could sell at $325 per acre & wd give them $25 com. He said his mother's remedy, hogs lard & turpentine mixed in equal parts & rubbed thoroughly over chest & shoulders & run in for 2 hrs will cure pneumonia. [I don't doubt that it would help. 2 hours of rubbing should loosen the phlegm in the lungs & help keep them clear. CW]See book 15 P 335

At residence of Mrs Elizabeth Gregg. No 1561 Shelby St, Indianapolis, Indiana, Christmas, Dec 25, 1925 1 PM I arrived here 12:05 PM on the street car & was admitted by Mrs Gregg's son Thomas who is unmarried & lives with her & met Mrs Gregg who is of medium size & spare. She is active & not at all feeble for one in her 86th year. She & her son are getting dinner. They had heard from her brother, Thomas Finley of Aston, WVA, who had sent her my letter & they were expecting me.Yesterday, when at the office of the Republic Iron & Steel Co at Youngstown, O, I asked Thos J. Bray, Prest of the

Co of his Brays came from Jefferson Co, Ohio & he said his father came here from Wales, but he himself was born in America. He said the name was French or Norman so he then is not a descendant of John Bray & his wife Elizabeth Finley of Island Creek, Jefferson Co, O.Mrs Gregg said she was born Elizabeth Finley on Mch 22, 1840 fourteen months younger than her brother John Finley on her father's farm at Waterford, Westnd Co, Pa near Ligonier, Pa & 20 miles from Johnstown, Pa. She said there was so much talk of going to Kansas, that her parents with

V15 Page 383

their family went to Pittsburgh in May 1858 & went down the Ohio, up the Mississippi & up the Missouri Rivers to Leavenworth Kansas where they landed & after experiencing a very severe storm there, they concluded to return, leaving two weeks after arrival by boat. Stopping several places on the way to look at land both in Mo & Evansville, Ind & finally stopped at Point Pleasant, Mason Co, VA (now WVA). Her brother, Thomas at this time was 4 yrs old. They located in Mason Co opposite Gallipolis, O & when the Civil War came on, her mother becoming alarmed about the rebels insisted on coming over to Ohio, which they did, locating in Gallia Co where her father died in the spring about 2 or 3 yrs after the close of the war say in 1868 aged 65 yrs & is buried in Gallipolis, O in the lot of her brother, John, but she says there is no marker. She said there was a fort at Ligonier & her grandfather Finley, whose name she doesn't remember, but thinks it was probably Samuel & her grandfather with another man were out at a hut attending to the farm & one morning they drew lots to decide as was their custom who should go after the horses & who should get breakfast & while he was doing so, the horses came tearing up to the hut snorting & he anticipating the Indians had killed his companion grabbed a bridle & putting it on one of the horses,

V15 Page 384

Jumped on bare back & fled at top speed & on crossing the creek at daybreak, was fired on by the Indians laying in wait there by numerous arrows. Coming to a woman with a child on the road, he told her to get on behind, him or the Indians would kill them. She handed him the child & got on & he fled with such terrific speed that she was so frightened & said that she would as leave be killed by the Indians as that way & slid off the horse & looking back he saw her scalped by the Indians but he escaped to the fort with the child which was raised in the fort & grew up. She says her father told her this.Thomas T. Gregg, her son says his great grandfather Finley served in the Revolutionary War in a short campaign under Mad Anthony Wayne against the Five Nations in Western New York, because of the depredations of the Indians who were offered $10 per head for the scalps of the whites. He received one or two thousand acres of land in Westmoreland Co, Pa for his services, where he located & his home was not far from the farm of his son Thomas in Waterford, on the road toward Lauglintown, where he built a big stone house. His son, Samuel got this farm & the stone house (Look at Greensburgh, Pa for deeds to or from him & his will) Samuel

V15 Page 385

sold this farm to Francis Smith who I met Sept 5?, 1897 in Ligonier Pa, he being then 90 yrs old. He tore down the old stone house, which Mrs Gregg remembers being in, & built a brick house on the same foundation. Mrs Gregg remembers Francis Smith & says she went to school with his son Matthew. Her Uncle Sam then went to Jefferson Co, Pa where he engaged in the pine timber business which he rafted down the rivers. He was back on a visit to his brother Thomas at Waterford, when my informant Mrs Gregg was a little girl several years before they went to Kansas. He went back to Jefferson Co, Pa & died shortly thereafter. His daughter, Mary Jane, a very beautiful girl, died there about the same time aged about twenty, unmarried of consumption. Her brother, ie Mary Jane's bro, Alex also died of consumption unmarried. There was another brother, Cameron who she thinks was married. Then there was Susan who married a Hunter, an undertaker, now dead & Mrs Gregg has several letters from her, dated July 13, 1904 to Jany 11, 1909 all written from 902 Huey St, McKeesport, Pa. In her letter of July

13, 1904, she says her father died when she was a child & she never knew her father's relatives. Says that two weeks ago, she was in the Ligonier Valley & saw her cousin Barbara Blair

V15 Page 386

father Finley.Mrs Gregg said there was a Thomas McDowell who lived on his farm with a big brick house adjoining their farm at Waterford who was a first cousin of her father, his mother being a sister of her grandfather Finley & she thought her name was Martha. He had been a school teacher in his young days & was an invalid for years from consumption, but ran a brick yard or two from his sick bed & became wealthy & when the farm of my informant's father was sold on a security debt that he had gone on for a professed or feigned preacher from Phila Thomas McDowell bought it. After he died, his wife, Jane, married a Wilson who moved in the brick house with his five children & her one child by Thomas McDowell, Mary Jane by name, about 10 or 12 yrs younger than my informant, was driven out & went to Fairfield, some six miles away where she married & lived. I am starting a genealogical table on page 390 from what she tells me.Mrs Gregg & Thomas tell me that her grandfather Finley was driving a supply wagon for Waynes army when a big Indian with painted face broke out of the brush on the road as he came along the road & he told the Indian there were armed soldiers ahead & behind

& giving him a flask of whisky from his supply train, told him to make all haste through the brush & get away or he would be killed. Some years after this, Finley was captured by the Indians & they all decided to burn him at the stake, but took him to their chief for his approval. When the chief saw him, he recognized him as the man who gave him the whisky & saved his life & he said "No, this is a good man, we no burn him", so they let him go.Samuel McCurdy died near Brazil, Ind abt 12 yrs ago & left a widow, Eva, who went to the soldiers home at Lafayette, Ind & died there two yrs later.

Hotel Deming, Room 608 Terre Haute, Ind Dec 28, 1925 12:38 PM Finley A. McNutt Esq came in here at 8:30 this morning. He is a typical Finley & from all I have read of his ancestor, Rev James Finley, he is an exact prototype, I should judge but 5 ft tall very full broad face & frame, neat & tasty in his dress. He says he was, or is a graduate of Annapolis, Md & served five yrs in the Navy & has been for 39 yrs attorney for the different RRs here which now form the Penna System. He had just gotten home last evening from St Louis, Mo where he & his wife had been for a week, visiting their daughter. He very kindly offered to take six or seven of the books when they were completed for his own family & to give to other relatives & will help in any way he can.He told me about Miss Marietta David Finley, daughter of Leighton & said her mother was a daughter of a brother of Genl Jeff C. Davis of the Union Army who during the war shot & killed Genl Nelson in the Galt House,

Louisville, Ky. Nelson was his superior officer & met Davis in the lobby of the hotel & asked him how many men he had & upon his saying he didn't know

V15 Page 408

Nelson struck him in the face with his gloves. Davis went to his room, strapped his revolver to his waist & going downstairs met Genl Nelson on the stairs & shot him dead. He said he knew a Harry Finley in the Navy, a descendant of Joseph Finley of Ebenezer of Rev James who returned from the Orient & committed suicide here. He was, I think unmarried. He phoned Geo Shannon, Atty, who came to his office in Erwin Block where we had gone on Wabash Ave Corner 5th St & he came over fr his office, Wabash Ave corner of 4th where I arranged to meet him at 2 PM. His mother was a daughter of Alexander Dunlap son of Samuel Dunlap & Hannah Lecky.I left Mr McNutt's office at 11 Am & took a S 7th Car to the end of the line & walked two blocks to the present residence of Orville? or Oliver Franklin McCurdy, a Penna RR conductor at No 2835 S 8th St. He says his father, William Franklin McCurdy aged 61 yrs lives at Linton, Greene Co, Ind abt 50 miles south of here he being a son of an elder Wm Franklin McCurdy who was from Penna & probably a bro of the McCurdy who married Isabella Finley. He says one of his father's sisters has the old McCurdy record & he will find out which one & get for me a copy of the record.

Major Abraham Markle page 147 He brought his second wife when he came to Vigo Co. His sons were: William, Abraham, Henry, George, Frederick, Joseph & Buonaparte [sic]. The Markle family, John Dickson & family & Isaac Lambert & family settled on Otter Creek. They came in 1816 coming down the Allegheny & Ohio, disembarked at Evansville & came by land to Vincennes. Major Markle built a mill on Otter Creek which for some years was the dependence of the neighborhood for bread for miles around.Pages 164 & 165 etc. Major Abraham Markle was born in Ulster Co NY in 1769 of one of the most prominent families in the County. When a very young man, he emigrated to Upper Canada where he soon acquired fame & fortune. He bore a conspicuous part in opposition to the rule of England in the dominion & the oppression of the people by English rulers. He became a member of the Provincial Parliament & on all occasions gave unmistakable evidence of the spirit of freedom & independence that had culminated in the Independence of the colonies. Immediately on the Declaration of War in 1812, he returned to his old home in NY & entered the army with the rank of Major. In his command

V15 Page 418

were his two sons William & Abraham. When the war was over, he came at once to Fort Harrison with his family of seven sons & two daughters. For his action in the war, the English confiscated his land in Canada & the U.S. Congress granted him a large quantity of scrip & extra pay. These land warrants he located on Wabash lands as

soon as he arrived becoming the owner of several sections in & about Fort Harrison including the lands in & about where the Union Depot now stands & the land on which Fort Harrison stood. He died Mch 26, 1826 aged 57 years. He was a large man physically & mentally & would have risen to prominence anywhere or any time as his commanding military figure would arrest attention at any gathering of men. His temperament was fiery & chivalric [sic] impulsive, but as warm & generous of heart as any man that lived. He would go to great trouble to meet a foe he thought was hunting him & twice as far to meet a friend who wanted his assistance. His nature was social & jovial & a beautiful woman only could divide his affections for a fine horse. Liberal in all his ideas, with a high sense of honor, he was born to command men & not to follow. His eldest daughter

married Nathaniel Huntington, noted as the first lawyer who opened an office in Terre Haute. He was a man of fine abilities who soon ranked among the ablest in the profession. He was cheated of great eminence by his early death. Col. Huntington loved military affairs & often drilled his militia regiment in the open ground where the Terre Haute House now stands.

Room 608, Hotel Deming, Terre Haute, Ind Dec 30, 1925 8:30 PM Mr A.R. Markle has kindly come in from Ferguson Hill to continue the record from his grandfather, Nelson Markle & to give some further information that he gathered today.The service of Abraham Markle in the U.S. army in War of 1812 began with his enlistment as Capt Dec 12, 1813 probably very shortly after coming from Canada in Lieut Col Willcox's detachment in U.S. Vol (Canadians) & was paid as Capt to Apr 19, 1814 & thereafter as Major & ended June 30, 1814, but as we have heretofore stated, he drew pay until June 15, 1815. See C.K. Gardner's Dictionary of Army & Navy officers Pub NY 1853, Disbanded June 15, 1815.Further, Wm Markle, son of Abraham, 2d Lieut of Canadian Volunteers Apr 19, 1814 retained May 1815 in rifles resigned Mch 31, 1817. Mr Markle gave me the six pages of record page 452 to 457 inclusive of the descendants of his grandfather Nelson Markle & by that time it was 12:30 AM the 31st & his son Richard Theodore becoming impatient (& he

V15 Page 449

having driven his father in in their auto) they left at 12:44 Am giving me a batch of card index cards, 49 in number, covering the descendants of his great uncles Frederick C., Joseph W. & Napoleon Buonaparte, from which to make up their records.On arrival in Brazil at abt 9:30 Am 30th, I went to office of Fr G.W. Finley 18 1/2 E. National upstairs & found him with a patient & some waiting. After seeing them, I had a fine talk with him. He has the Finley aspect & a face seared with up & down wrinkles. He told me that Robt McCurdy's widow, Belle had married again & was now the widow Lowry, living with her son at 1704 E. National. The doctors own residence is 115 E Kruzan St. Brazil, Ind. His brother, John A. is also on 2d floor of Citizens NBK building a few steps beyond where he took me & introduced me & upon his telling me his sister aged 83 living six miles out in the country had the old bible of their grandfather George Finley 1757-1833 Revolutionary soldier, I arranged for John A. to take me out in his auto at 1 PM.Dr Finley showed me a letter from Mrs A.M. Honeywell 610 E. Penn St, Hoopeston, Ills. She was Mary Finley, sister of Chas R. Finley there, who is

V15 Page 450

President of Grant Tp, mutual Fire Ins Co Hoopeston, IllsShe wrote Dr Geo W. Finley Sept 1, 1925 in which she says descendants of Archibald Finley's sons, John & Henry went to North Carolina. She said Archibald's other sons, Alexander & Archibald never left Penna (see if she can give their sons). She names his son John Findley as her gr gr grandfather & does not think he went to N.C. to live but only to visit Daniel Boone who he had known in Penna. Says she has not found out how many children, he had, but says there was her great grandfather, John & one girl who married a Mr Brown, who raised my grandfather, David Finley. She signed the letter "Mary Finley Honeywell". She says Henry Finley, 2d, son of Archibald was born in Ireland abt 1721 or 1722 & came to America in 1734, settling in upper part of Warrington Tp, Buck Co, Pa & married Elizabeth, daughter of Wm Walker before 1752. In 1758, he lived in Hilltown Tp.

Soon after, he moved with his family to London Co, Va & from there to Kentucky in 1788 as recited in the "American Ararat". Little is known of his family except that one of his daughters married Lieut John Wallace, who removed with

V15 Page 451

the family to Ky (Look for wills of both Henry Finley & John Wallace or deeds to & from at Williamsburg, Ky). I recall that Finley A. McNutt said he felt very sure that the mother of Cyrus H. McCormick was a Finley or that he was a Finley descendant & he says his son Harold McCormick has the Finley aspect. Look this up in "Who's Who" in America or else where.John A. Finley said he commenced teaching school when 17 yrs old & taught for 20 yrs, the last & as Principal of the Brazil Schools & then went in the R.E. & Insurance business in which he has continued. He said there was a Ross Caruthers in Brazil who is Supt of a hydraulic plant. Write him. I got in from Mrs Belk's at 5 PM & went to Dr Finley's residence where I met him & his wife & he loaned me the record made up by his daughter D. Pearl to supplement my table on pages 444-5 & then return. He & his wife gave me names & dates of their three daughters, all unmarried as shown on page 445. The doctor also said there is a Dr Palmer Findley, a noted surgeon in Omaha, Neb. Also that he had a brother in Indianapolis where there were many other Finleys. He wanted me to stay for supper, but I could not & left at 6 PM. It is now 3:22 AM 31st Dec & I will go to bed.

Says she has been unable to find the names of the wives of Col Israel Painter. Of course she has, he never had any. Than generation may not know that all of his children were illegitimate.

Anent the Crawford genealogy:I asked Chas L. Springer what his Springer family history gave on it & he gave me the following: "Second GenerationUriah, born 1754 son of Dennis Springer & Ann Prickett married Sally, widow of Maj Harrison & daughter of Col Wm Crawford who was burned at the stake by Indians in 1782. Their children were:1. William G. died "without heirs"2. Matilda, died "without heirs"3. Crawford, married, died 18524. Uriah born 1799 died 1883. No heirs5. Anna

Uriah Springer Sr was commissioned by Lord Densmore as an ensign in the army when 19 yrs of age, was at one time Commander of Redstone Old Fort & arose to the rank of Colonel in the Federal Army. Served in several Indian campaigns. After the close of the War of the Revolution,

was Brigade Inspector during the War of 1812. He died 1826. Sally, his wife died 1836. (I wonder where buried & see if either got a pension) Third GenerationCrawford, son of Uriah Springer & Sally Crawford married. Their children were:I. AngelineII. Elizabeth, married WagonerIII.

Joseph learned the chair making trade in Pgh sewing fr 1815 to 1818 & run a chair manufacturing establishment in Indiana for over 30 yrs.

At Chicago Motor Club, Michigan Ave, Corner 33d St, Chicago, Ills Feby 12th, 1926 10:30 AM I came up here on the bus arriving at 10:07 & found Mr Jack out. He came in, however, in a few minutes a spare smooth faced virile man of 63 yrs with every indication of the Jack longevity. He said his name was Frank Ellsworth Jack born in 1863 in Detroit, Michigan, named for Col Ellsworth & son of James Anderson Jack, who was born in this country shortly after his parents, William Jack & wife had arrived from the neighborhood of Edinburgh, Scotland with one child, Mary, who was born abroad in Scotland & my informant's father was the first child born to them in America. There was too, another son, George, who lived in Detroit, Mich & other children who lived in Michigan where one of the members of the family had gathered considerable records of the family. He said he had an older brother, James two years older than himself who died at the age of 21 yrs & four other brothers, one named Bert living in St Louis, Mo who wouldn't be able to tell anything about the

V15 Page 540

family, but his sister, the seventh & youngest child, Harriet Elizabeth Jack now Mrs R.J. Russell living at the

Gatewood Hotel, a high class family Hotel at St Louis, Mo would be able to give more information about the family & could give me the name & address of the relative in Michigan, who had gathered the records of the family. He said his father, James Anderson Jack had died in St Louis, Mo 7 or 8 yrs ago aged 86 years, born then say about 1833.

Also says her grandmother Elizabeth Finley was not an educated woman as they did not then educate the daughters, but says she was a very good woman & very small & after her marriage, she was in a runaway & they thought her back was broken & she was never able after that to straighten up. She don't know the parentage of her gf Col Andrew McIntire.Jane's name was Jane Finley McIntire & neither she nor John Lindsey, Martha (Patsie) or Samuel Finley were married.Page 113 Phebe Finley was the first wife of her great Uncle Robert Finley.

cemetery at Locust Grove, O.Ruhamah married Geo McCague Evans & David S. died I think when aged 21 yrs, unmarried. She spoke in the most endearing terms of her father who she said never whipped her, but her mother did. Said once, she struck her brother David & her father took her in a little bedroom, took her on his knee & told her how wrong it was to strike her little brother & said if you will promise me to not do it again, I won't whip you & then kissed her & put her down. She said his talk hurt her more than a whipping.She told of when her son David when holding a candle to the door for her in apple butter making time & stepping back fell in a kettle of boiling cider vinegar & burned him from Knees to armpits. He said "Mother, am I going to die" & she said "Yes, David". He then said "Well then, I must pray" which he did. His pain was intense burning the first five hours, but he did not suffer so much the next six. He called the children to him & bade them goodbye with the parting injunction to "be good" & said he was not afraid to die. She said to me that if "this was my own house, I would have you stay all night, but to page 577

Rhu is peculiar". She is the youngest nonagenarian I ever saw & did not look her age by 20 yrs. She thanked me for coming & was very kind & said the Finleys & McIntires were good people & she had nothing to be ashamed of in her heritage. Mrs Milligan wanted to get me some supper, but I asked her not to. When I was leaving in the rain, she said she was sorry she didn't have an extra room to give me for the night. She knew Martha Cannon born Jany 19, 1836 & her niece Julia Hepzibah Cannon born 1855 of Morning Sun, Iowa.Mrs George is a little below medium height & is neither slender of fleshy & is very spry & active.Mrs George said she was either 5 or 7 yrs old when her father died & Ruhamah 3 or 5 & David 1 or 3, but I see from her statement that he died when 24, that their ages would be 5 yrs, 3 yrs & one yr then. She spoke of her doctor saying she would live to be a hundred & I think she bids fair to do so. She said that when her Uncle Sam Finley McIntire & her grandparents died July 30, 1849 that her Uncle Silas? Dyer McIntire who had also been down sick asked her to pray that no more would be taken & she did & dates her conversion from there.

At Olathe Hotel, Room 14 Olathe, Johnson Co, Kansas Feby 18, 1926 1 AM During the day that is just passed, A.O. Thompson, lumber merchant of Kansas City, came to the Muehlebach Hotel at 12:30 PM & had lunch with me & was with me until 3:11 Pm when I parted with him as we were leaving the Aladdin Hotel just back of the Muehlebach Hotel.After leaving him, I penciled down some of the things he told me about his immediate family which I do not believe I got as I was relying on him or Mrs Kilpatrick to make it out for me & I don't think they ever did.His grandfather, David Thompson was born in 1803, a twin with Joseph who came to near Olathe here but when I was here in Nov 1922, I could learn very little about his descendants. He spoke of the following children of his grandfather David.

1. Hannah who married John Thompson & had among other children: 1. Will? at Love Elm, Kansas who I then saw. 2. Cephas at Enid, Okla who I saw in Dec

V15 Page 579

2. Rebecca, who married Kilpatrick & had: 1. Samuel 2. William H. 3. Robt J. & others3. Sarah Ann married Downey & had:

1. Minerva who married Ravencraft? & went to Montana & their daughter married out there & her two sons were the internationally famous _______ brothers with a world wide fame as Jockeys. The name has six letters.

4. Robert Jackson, twin with Rebecca. He was father of my informant, A.O.5. Rebecca, twin with Robert J. born in 1838. She married Saml Hull from Texas where they went to live & he got in the Confederate Army. She married about 1857-9 & coming back to Kansas she died 1875-1880 & is buried at Laney, Kan along the Oklahoma line. They had several children. He then moved to Arkansas to Dalrymple? or to some town there commencing with D.[Note: Two Rebeccas appear as JVT entered them]I went with him to the office of C.O. Jones on Walnut St near 10th. Mr Jones is a tall handsome smooth faced man of abt 35

V15 Page 580

years & is worth a million & a half A.O. says. He not being at his office, we walked over to the Aladdin Hotel 15 or 16 stories on Wyandotte St which he built & he is the ruling spirit in the Co he formed which owns & operates it. He asked A.O. to take a fourth in this Co which he regrets now that he did not take. Mr Jones figured the Ambassador Hotel excellent for location at No 3552 Broadway as follows: Building $900,000 Furniture 250,000, the very best Ground -150,000 Total $1300,000He says it is built wrong & will never pay the rooms being too small & the closet accommodations will not admit of a woman putting a dress in without wrinkling, requiring continual pressing. It was first built of 4 stories & then increased to six & then to 9 or 10 & has but one small elevator front & a small one back which are not adequate & cause a serious handicap. The Commonwealth Hotel was built later & has better

V15 Page 581

sized rooms & closets. It is at NO 1216 Broadway & he estimates costs & values: Building $900,000 Furniture 150,000 not so good Ground _100,000 Total $1150,000The location is not so good & will not command as high charges for rooms. He says that Carney Goodman owns the Co which owns both hotels & he says doubling the value for a trade is the regular practice of their realtors, who estimate that the party trading has put two prices on his property.When I saw Goodman at 10 AM, he said the property wd only admit of a second mtge of $250,000 each which wd not raise as much cash as I required to make the trade. A.O. said you could not trade with him without getting

beat. A.O. was on the draft board during the World War & Goodman claimed Exemption because he had a wife & she, a tough one, appeared & said he did not support her & should not use that to exempt him. They tried the hardest to get him in, but he was so slippery they only succeeded in

getting him to Camp Funston just before the war closed. C.O. Jones's Aladdin Hotel is a dandy & his rooms are only half what the Muehlebach charges viz $2, $3 & $4.50 for single occupant & $1.50 to $2 additional for a second occupant.They serve suppers for $1.50 & no cover charge with dancing & radio broadcasts after theatre from 10:30 PM to 2 AM with music by Johnnie Campbell's "Aladdin Arabian Nights Band".

At Residence of John Wesley Dill, No 1409 W. Main St, Chanute, Neosho Co, Kansas, Feby 18, 1926 1:22 PM I arrived here by train at 1 PM & find Mr Dill alone, his wife having gone to a quilting.He says he does not have his father's bible as he married the second time after his mother died. He married his second wife in 1873 in Labette Co, Kan & he dying in 1874, his widow got the bible. He says a man named Dick, living at Parsons, Kansas says that Mr B. Frank Dill got the bible, but of this, he is not sure. This 2d wife was an old maid, who came out here from Hamilton Co, Ind with the Dicks. Don't think she had any children nor when or where she died. He has his own bible. Says his mother told him that her father served in the Revolutionary War with Washington. His impression is that she said his name was George, but is not sure. Says her brother, George Markle (father of Jesse B.) served in the War of 1812 & coming to Illinois, located in Cook Co before Chicago

was named & took up 160 A on a soldiers land warrant fourteen miles N.W. of Fort Dearborn & died on said farm during the Civil War. His daughter married an Englishman (or his father was) Old Tom Jory & moved to Cambridge, Iowa. He says his mother said her father entered the Rev. War from Lancaster Co, Pa & served seven years being a young man & single & married after the war closed & lived & died in Penna. His mother knew him well & often spoke of him. My informant thinks he died in the forties before he was born in 1848. Says they moved to Iowa in 1850. Thinks his sister Eliza Pouss died in 1870 or 1871 at Avilla, Mo & had six children, but don't think any of them are there. He married again & died in Mo.Mr Dill has two letters, one dated Dec 11, 1925 & the other Jany 16, 1926 from his brother, Israel M's daughter, Mrs Sarah Jane Roberts No 305 East Ohio St, Monticello, Indiana.

Sarah Markle was born in Penna in, he thinks, Lancaster or Schuylkill Co & died near Altona, Wilson Co, Kansas Dec 14, 1872 & is buried at Altona, Ks, but does not have a marker. She was younger than her brother George who was older than her & she remembers as a little girl of 7 yrs when he came back from the war. She was next to the youngest of the family. Married in Penna, Schuylkill Co probably or perhaps in Lancaster Co, Pa to Solomon Dill who was born Jany 8, 1808? in Schuylkill Co, Pa & died near Timber Hill, Labette Co, Kansas Sept? 1874 & is buried at Timber Hill, Kan, but does not know whether there is a marker or not.

They moved from Penna with their two oldest children to Hamilton Co, Ind where he was a blacksmith, owning a farm & their other six children were born there & in 1850, he sold the farm & moved to Polk Co, Iowa where Des Moines now is & where he had 80 Acres. Once owned over 1000 A of land. Then moved to Story Co, Iowa, Nevada about 1859 and came to Kansas, Miami Co, Rockville in 1867 & in 1870 moved to Wilson Co Kansas where she died.

When I introduced myself & told her my business, she said she wasn't interested in the Thompsons & had given all the Thompson record she was going to & said a man had been to see her last spring saying I had sent him & she gave him the full record & they said later it was A.T. Secrest of Pleasant Hill, O & said too there were Secrests living here or at Edgerton, Kan.In talking, however, she said that Rebecca Thompson, daughter of Joseph Thompson (born 1803, twin brother of David & son of James 1758-1835) had married Joseph Larrick. My records indicate that they had a big family but her attitude saying she had given it to Secrest for me precluded my pursuing my quest, but her daughter who came

V15 Page 589

to the door, spoke of her Uncle Jacob Larrick & Mrs Mason said that Abraham Larrick, brother of her first husband, James Larrick who deserted her & her children, had a son John Larrick, a farmer living about three miles out of Edgerton, Kan, would be the one from whom I could get the record. She said too that Estella Larrick, oldest daughter of Abraham, had married Jim Rees, youngest brother of My informant, who was Margaret Rees, born in Bourbon Co, Ky which she said was the best county in Ky. She said she gave her parentage & record to Mr Secrest. Her first husband, James Larrick, son of Joseph Larrick & his wife Rebecca Thompson, the latter having died near Edgerton, Ks. He deserted her & the children & went to Omaha, Neb where he took the name of James McClain & now lives at No 3720 Meredith Ave, Omaha, Neb, a retired engineer. The man who admitted me went to the back part of the house & came back giving me the above number & said his name was Goodman & a woman appeared in the door, greatly angered evidently his wife & berated him

V15 Page 590

for getting the address from her to give me saying she had promised her "dad" she wouldn't give it to anyone. Goodman said he had been in Uniontown, Pa & Mrs Mason said her brother John William Rees, a plastering contractor had died & was buried there. The daughter of Mrs Mason said she had a letter from A.T. Secrest, Pleasant Hill, O asking for her Dad's address & she wrote him that she wouldn't give it.Mrs Mason, quite matronly said she had broken her hip two years ago & recently broke her right arm in two places below the elbow in an auto accident & it is still bandaged. See book 9 p 389.

The heavy snow which commenced about 8:10 AM at Olathe, Kan continued 3 hours & covered the ground completely in half an hour, but it did not reach to Humboldt, Kan. I reached John W. Dill's residence at 1 PM &* the snow storm blew up shortly thereafter, snowing in a raging windstorm & blowing very cold & while Frank Sibert, Auto man was waiting 3/4 of an hour for me, the tires of his auto froze fast to the ground, so that he had difficulty in pulling out. This morning 8 to 8:30, there was much heavy thunder at Olathe & a man in the office said that meant much cold weather & wagered it would be 15 degrees below zero by morning. Finished 8:44 PM

At residence of William Peter Preedy, Santa Fe Tp, Haskell Co, Kansas (P.O. Sublette RFD Kansas) Feby 19th, 1926 3:26, 1 PM (2:46 PM their Mountain time) I arrived here an hour ago & found the family just finishing dinner, Mrs Preedy & her mother Mrs Hutchinson has gotten out the family bible of Moses Markle, which was printed by the American Bible Society in NY in 1850, but there is no record in it,nor was there a place for one. They have, however, the Dolf Scheins [sic] of her father & mother ie Moses Markle & his wife & a record of the births of his children or the most of them written by him. These Dolf Scheins are in German, but some of the children who studied German had translated them as follows: The Father is:Moses Merkel was born of good Christian parents, the fourth day of Sept at 6 o'clock in the morning in the year of our Lord 1799 in the State of Penna, Northumberland Co, Breyhkirck Tp & was Baptized on the 4th day of March in 1802 by Mr Cyarmann, Evangelical Calvinistic minister & walks in Peace with God. The parents are Christian Merkel & his wife Nancy Catharina, a Bayerin bornGodparents are George Michael Bauer &

his wife Hannah"If you are faithful till death, I will give you the Kingly life" The Mother is:Birth & Baptism. To these two parents, as Samuel Schafer & his good wife Rosina, born a FÜehlein, a daughter has been born named Christina in the year of our Lord 1806, the 30th day of November at 3 o'clock in the sign of the lion. This Christina is born & baptized in America in the State of Penn in Northampton Co, Loor Mt Abel Tp (I think it is 17 1926Sv_#_#__ä_Calif on Jany 6, 1926.__ny _r_q_#¯_#H____ baptized by Mr Thomas Pomp. Godparents were Joseph FÜchline & his wife Christina. In Good faith.

I am starting a genealogical table on page 596 in which I am incorporating the dates given on sheet written by Moses Markle.Mrs H. does not remember her grandfather Markle, who I think was dead before she was born. She remembers her grandfather Samuel Schaefer just faintly, but remembers his wife who survived him. Says they lived out in Armstrong Co, Pa & when he died, he gave his big chair to her mother. Mrs H. says her mother died of the dropsy which she had had for 15 yrs during which she was always an invalid

Her son Edward died in Long Beach Calif abt 5 yrs ago & had two girls. Mrs Preedy has written to Sarah Smith Brooks at Bethany, Okla to get their address. John Markle when a young man went to Michigan to an Uncle, she thinks, on her father's side & married there & when the family moved to Iowa, in 1854, they stopped & visited him & she thinks it was at Three Rivers, Mich. They never wrote to each other & she does not know anything about what family he left.Mrs H. says they were making up a new Co to go to the war & eighteen had enlisted prior to the Quantrell raid at Lawrence Kan about 5 o'c in the morning of

One was a big red 18 mos old Duroc weighing fully 600 lbs. He has also a lot of cows & calves their only shelter being a sparse thicket of small thorn bushes. Has also turkeys, chickens & guineas. He rents the farm, on which is the house in which they live, which is owned by a man in Michigan who wants $25 per acre for the 160 A. He says he owns 240 A on the west side of the road & 80 A cornering with it, but they do not have any buildings on them. They rent several farms, some on the shares giving 1/4 & some for the taxes which he pays for the rent. He says their only profitable crop is wheat & he & his sons have 600 acres in fall wheat & expect to put out 100 A in spring wheat. Speaking of the Quantrell raid on Lawrence Kansas which was the year before

he was born, on the morning of Aug 21, 1863 before many people were up at 5 AM, he said his father was out milking & his mother was getting breakfast preparatory to going to the country with her father & two children in the spring wagon which was hitched & waiting when his father heard shooting in the farther end of the town. He ran in the house & told his wife to bundle in the wagon & get away at once which they did without getting their breakfasts & as they were driving out of the west end of town, the Rebels guards rode up surrounding the town, but seeing it was an old man driving with a woman & children, they let them pass. His father & a neighbor man started to go up town & met a man who stopped them & asked them where they were going & they said they were going to see what was going on. He said they had best not go as the raiders had first broken in all the saloons & were drunk & dangerous shooting & killing everyone they met, that he was one of them but was not in sympathy or accord

V15 Page 604

with their killing & drinking & had walked off from them. They turned & went across the street to a 10 A patch at the edge of town & hid in the growing corn thereon, waiting there awhile, they went out to the edge of the field & climbed up on the worm fence & saw the men coming on horseback toward the town & they ran back into the corn & hid & were saved. A young grown girl, standing on the street in front of his father's home & a man accosted her & asked her what she was crying about & she said "I see smoke coming out of this house which has been set on fire & all they have is in the house". He told her to go & put it out & she said she couldn't do that & he said come on & I will go with you & they found the bed clothes afire & burning lightly or slowly & they grabbed them off

the bed & carried them out & saved the house. He thought this was the same man who stopped his father. I wonder if it was Cousin "Jone" - Wm Johnston Van Kirk. Ask Abb. This was the raid & the morning in which Mrs Hutchingson's three brothers in their Union uniforms were

V15 Page 605

shot & killed viz: David, Samuel & Lewis Markle.He spoke too of the gunsmith of the town who handed his pocket book to his wife & the Rebels coming up, demanded that he give them his purse or they would shoot him & his wife, thinking to save his life, handed them the purse & threw her arms around his neck & they shot him dead in her arms.
