This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY.
JANUARY, 1902.
VILLERS, VILLIERS, VILLIERS-STUART.
By HoBACE W. WBAYMA2, Esq., Hod. Mem.
The pedigree given on the three following pages is from the
Visitation of the County of Leicester in the year 1619, taken
by William Camden, Clarencieux King at Arms, Sampson
Lennand and Augustine Vincent being his deputies. The
family is that of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, and
is an ancient one in the county of Leicester.
Through a cadet family, this family is represented in the
Old Northwest by Gerald Villiers-Stuart, Esq., of Columbus,
Ohio, whose bookplate forms the frontispiece of this issue.
In a subsequent number of this magazine, the pedigree will
be brought down to date, arranged upon the Register plan.
By permission of the designer, we are enabled to reproduce
the bookplate of Mr. and Mrs. Villers-Stuart, of Columbus,
Ohio, and Coburg, Canada.
This beautiful plate is pictorial. Upon a border of Shamrock
(the badge of Ireland) is the legend "Ex Libris Gerald and
Maud Villiers-Stuart." The subject of the bookplate (if I may be
allowed the expression) is " Dromana," like a sentinel serenely
overlooking the Black water. In the forground (the opposite
shore), a Knight has dismounted and stands bareheaded, gazing
intently forward with an air of sad reverence that seems to be
more than fully shared by his milk-white steed. What is the
Knight's dream ? Is it of the ancient glory of the Fitzgeralds,
or of his own house ? Nay ! not of these things thinketh he,
for 't is good-bye, a last good-bye, that he looketh, for he on the
morrow must fight, along with all his house, against the despoil-
ers of Ireland, the murderers of his King, whose last dying word
*' Remember," is his own battle cry. Near him on the ground
traileth the evergreen ivy, humbly raising its head, as if for his
" In Memoriam " wreath, fit emblem of the fidelity of his house.
The Arms are those of Villiers-Stuart, Baron Stuart de Decies,
creation 1839, grandfather of Mr. Gerald Villiers-Stuart.
Arms: Qr., Ist and 4th, or, a feese chequy, an<. and az. within a doable
tressnre, flory-counterflon?^, gu., a martlet for difference, for Stuart ; 2nd and
3rd arg., on a croae, gu., nve escallops, or, for Villiers.

THE RELATION OF GENEALOGY TO^HISTORY.
A Synopsis of an Address delivered before The "Old
Northwest" Genealogical Society, by Horace W.
Whayman, Esq., Hon. Mem.
Communicated by Chables Abthur Ridgway, Colambus, Ohio.
—A broad knowledge of history essential.
—A particular knowledge of the history of England, Holland
and Belgium, of three and a half centuries ago and a knowledge
of the topography and local history of those countries from
1550 to 1812.
— A full knowledge of the ** causes and effects " of the settle-
ment and growth of the United States.
— An understanding of the "waves of emigration" to and
throughout the United States also essential.
— The settlement of New England and of Maryland, due to
differences of religious conviction in England — the settlement
of New York and Virginia grew out of business enterprise.
— Eight colonies had existence as trading posts prior to 1640
— this date important — marks the culmination of the issue
between Charles the Martyr of England and his Puritan sub-
jects.
— Emigration to New England almost ceased after nearly
thirty thousand Puritans had left old England for these shores.
— The great emigration — "The Exodus" — between 1620 and
1640.
— The length of time colonies had been in existence prior to
1640 was as follows, says Mills* :
Massachusetts : Twenty years.
New Hampshire : Seventeen years.
Rhode Island : Four years.
Virginia : Thirty-three years.
New York : Twenty-six years.
Maryland : Seven years.
Delaware : Ten years.

— In 1685, a part of the congregation from Dorchester, led
by their minister, migrated to the Connecticut River, and built
homes at Windsor. Others from Watertown settled at Weth-
ersfield about the same time.
— 1636, Rev. Thomas Hooker — with others from Newton —
founded Hartford. Three years later, these three towns in con-
vention framed the first written constitution in the land.
— 1634, Rev. John Lathrop and others from Scituate founded
Barnstable.
— 1644, Rev. John Jones, with a part of his flock, left Concord
and settled at Fairfield, Conn.
— 1636, ninety families from Roxbury went to what is now
Woodstock and founded New Roxbury. From this town and
eastern Massachusetts, during the next century, came most of
the settlers in Windham county. Conn. New London county was
principally peopled from Plymouth, the Sound and Stonington.
— Delaware was peopled largely from Virginia ; the Caro-
linas from England.
— Scotch-Irish emigration in the 18th Century from the
Province of Ulster in Ireland to Casco Bay, Andover, Worces-
ter, most of them going, however, to New Hampshire. The
first ship load arrived at Boston August 4, 1718. Between this
year and 1782 several thousand of these sturdy folk came to
our shores — six ship loads of them came to Philadelphia in 1727
— they formed a great portion of the population of Pennsyl-
vania at the time of the Revolution. From Pennsylvania they
migrated along the mountains to western Virginia, Kentucky,
eastern Ohio, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
— The Huguenots as early as 1623 some settled with the
Walloons at New Amsterdam — 1685 to 1700, largely settled in
New York and South Carolina ; a few in New England, at
Boston.
— At the time of the adoption of the Constitution the popu-
lation of the United States may divided into four general
classes :
I. English :
a. Cavaliers in Virginia and Roman Catholics in
Maryland.
b. Puritans, Brownists or Congregationalists in New
England.
c. Quakers in New England and Pennsylvania.
II. Dutch : In New York.
III. Scotch : From Ulster — most numerous in Pennsylvania
and New Hampshire.

IV. French :
a. Huguenots in New York and South Carolina.
b. Walloons in New York and immediate vicinity.
— Estimated population of the colonies at this date, forty-
four thousand — many descendants trace eight to eleven genera-
tions born on this continent since the settlement of Jamestown,
1607.
— One-fifth of the present population of the United States
are descendants of the thirty thousand who made up the first
generation, ending 1640.
— The early emigrants — up to the war of the Revolution —
consisted mostly of heads of families.
— If we would understand the deepest meaning in the history
of the United States, we must realize how closely related are
the people of the old and new worlds.
— The migrations of the early settlers — the topography of the
early colonies — the origin of place names, etc. — worthy of
special study.
— The study of evolution of man — the story of his genealogy.

THE GENEALOGICAL VALUE OF WILLS.
Where to Look for Wills in England.
By Walteb Rye, Esq., of Winchester House, Putney, 8. W., England.*
(Continued from Vol. IV., page 1/7.)
Pbobatb Registry — Department for Literary Inquiry.
This is located in the south side of the great quadrangle of
Somerset House, in the basement beneath the General Search-
room (where the general public pay their shillings to see any
will or administration). The literary enquirer enters by the
main entrance on the left, and proceeding through a passage
with rooms on the right and left, descends by a staircase on the
left hand to the basement, where are also rooms on either side
of the corridor.
Entering No. 9 he finds himself in a large apartment, formed
by two rooms being thrown into one, and furnished with tables
and desks for the use of the literary searchers.
Originally, only six students could be accommodated at one
time ; but since the autumn of the year 1884, when a second
room was added, as many as fourteen persons can pursue their
enquiries together.
The use of the calendars, registers, etc., is under the direction
of the Superintendent of the Department, Mr. J. C. Challoner
Smith, a gentleman ever ready to offer valuable suggestions and
assistance to all all who are earnest students, and not mere
triflers.
There are two messengers to fetch the calendars and registers
as they may be wanted. Nor more than two registers are per-
mitted to one reader at one time, nor more than eight altogether
in one day.
The Literary Department is open from 10 to 3:30 Monday to
Friday, and from 10 to 1:30 on Saturdays, except during the
long vacation, when the hours are from 10 to 1:30 on Saturdays,
and from 11 to 2:30 on other days. It is closed for a period of
six weeks during the autumn vacation.
The visitor is allowed, without fee, to search the calendars, to
read and make any notes from the registered copies of wills,
from the earliest recorded to within a hundred years of the
particular year in which he makes his enquiry.
The department was created in 1862, and for many years the
period to which literary enquirers were restricted was from 1394
to 1699; in less than three years after the removal from Doctors'
Commons to Somerset House, it was extended to 1 George III.

(1760); and in September, 1884, in compliance with a numer-
ously signed petition from literary men, scholars, etc., it was
still further extended to a hundred years from the year in which
the student makes his search, so that a new calendar and register
becomes available upon the 1st of January in each year.
Visitors are only permitted to read and inspect the registered
copies of wills : the originals are not open to them.
During the Cromwellian period there is a gap in the records of
all minor courts ; all wills being proved in the London Registry.
The registered copies of wills contained in the Prerogative
Court comence with the year 1384.
The Admonition Act Books are complete from the year 1559
to the present time, except that for 1662, which is missing.
The wills contained in the Commissary Court of London
begin in 1374, and extend with sundry gaps until 1857.
The books of the Consistory Court of London contain a large
number of marriage licenses ; also various ecclesiastical pro-
ceedings relating to divorces, etc., interspersed among the wills.
It may be mentioned that amongst the records of the Prerog-
ative Court are a large number of inventories (many thousands),
which, however, are unfortunately in a chaotic state, and seem
likely to rematn so. The Principal Registry includes Hertford,
South Essex, Middlesex, Surrey, and West Kent.
The districts assigned to the other Registers are those speci-
ged in Schedule A of the Probate Acts, 20 and 21 Vict., chap.
17 (1857).
The records of the Minor Courts mentioned above, as included
in the Principal Registry are under the charge of Mr. G. H.
Rodman, a gentleman of long experience, who is ably assisted
by Messrs. Cheyne and Rouse. The writings relating to these
minor courts (Episcopal, Archidiaconal, and Peculiar) commence
at various irregular dates, some as early as the fourteenth, whilst
others do not begin before the seventeenth century.
The enquirer will occasionally find an index extant, whilst
the wills for the corresponding period are not in the Registry,
never having been transferred to it, but lost by the carelessness
or neglect of former registrars in the districts where they were
kept in past times.
Besides the above, certain records are preserved here, owing
to special circumstances, relating to Berks, Bucks, and Oxford^
the Diocese of Salisbury, and the Archdeaconry of Richmond
(Yorks).
The Archdeaconry of Richmond extended over parts of
Yorkshire, Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland.
For the three Eastern Deaneries (Richmond, Catterick, and
Borough Bridge), the records come down to 1858.
For the five Western Deaneries (Amounderness, Copeland,
Furness, Kendal, and Lonsdale) the records come down to 1748„
and after that date are to be found at the Lancaster District
Registry.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
N0TB8.
Bookplate op Alexandbb W.
Mackenzie. Ck>LUMBn8, 0. — The
subject of this plate is based on
the legend of the granting of
Anns to the pro^nitor of the
Mackenzies, Cohn Fitzgerald.
The legend is, that Alexander
III. was hunting in the forest,
near Kincardine, when an infu-
riated stag, closely pursued by
the hounds, made straight in the
direction of the King. Colin
Fitzgerald, who accompanied
the royal party, gallantly inter-
posed his own person between
the King and tne wild animal
and shot it in the forehead with
an arrow. The King, in ac-
knowl^gment of his royal grat-
itude, at once issued a diploma
in his favor, granting him armo-
rial bearings, which were to be ^
a stags's head puissant, bleeding
at the forehead where the arrow
pierced it, to be borne on a field
azure, supported by two grey-
hounds.
The incident of the hunt was painted by Weet for the lafit of the Seaforths.
He received £800 for the noble painting, which is still preserve J in Brahan
Castle, Rosa-shire.
The border of the plate is the Thistle, the emblem of Scotland, and Holly,
the badge of the Clan Mackenzie. Below are the arms of Mt'ckenzie of
Lochend, differenced, azure, within a bordure engrailed diequey of three
gules and or, a stag's head cabossed, attired with ten tyres or.
Thb Genealogical Value of Bookplates. — Dr. <fe Mrs. William King
Rogers of Columbus, Ohio, recently opened their house for a lecture upon
bookplates. The lecturer dwelt at length upon the value of Ex-Librie to the
the student of History, Heraldry and Genealogy. We understand that the
collection exhibited on that occasion is still on wiew, and that Dr. and Mrs.
Ro^rs will gladly permit any person genuinelv interested to view the col-
lection. We cannot commend too highly this departure from the prevailing
custom of entertaining.
Obton.— The late Dr. Edward Orton, in his book entitled ** An Account of
the Descendants of Thomas Orton of Windsor, Connecticut, 1641," did not
attempt to connect the immigrant ancestor, Thomas, with the Orton family
in England, though he seemed confident that he came from Leicestershire,
England. We find in "The Visitation of the County of I^iceFter 1619.
Taken by William Camden, Clarencieux King of Arms. Edited by John
Fetherston, F.S.A.", page 193, the pedigree of Richard Overton alias Orton,

II. Local HtsUnrieSf EecordSj etc,
Ma99acku8eU» VikU RecordB. — The New-England Historic Genealogical
Society proposes, if encouragement warrants^ to publish, by a Fund set apart
from the bequest of Robert Henry Eddy to that Society, the Vital Records
(births, marriages and deaths) of Towns in Massachusetts, from their begin-
ning to the year 1845, whose records are not already printed, or in process
or contemplation of printing. There are about 190 such Towns, estimated
to require an average of 150 pages for each, and it is intended to issue, in
books of 8vo size, in clear type, on good paper, and with suitable bindine,
the records of as many Towns as practicable each year, until the work is
completed. The plan contemplates a verbatim copy of these records, which
copy will be permanently kept in the Society's archives, and thenprinted
alphabetically, similar to the records of Boylston, Wilmington and Wobum.
The Society now offers, until July 1, 1902, the privilege of subscribing to
this invaluable series of records at the uniform rate of one cent per printed
page, which, if 6(X) copies are printed, will be about the actual cost. This
includes binding. As only a limited number of copies will be printed, and
as the type will then be distributed, and the extra copies held on sale at a
considerable advance on the subscription price, it is earnestly requested that
all who are interested in the work of preserving the fast decaying evidence
of the founders of the Commonwealth will subscribe promptly. The records
of each Town will form a separate volume, and any number of copies of the
records of any one Town may be had, if ordered oefore the work eoes to
press. All communications should be addressed to Henry Ernest Woods,
Editor, 18 Somerset Street, Boston, Mass.
When it is considered that Massachusetts is virtually the cradle of the
Old Northwest, a large majority of the pioneers of the latter region having
been lineal descendants of original immigrants to the former, the vast im-
portance of the above records can be realized. Therefore every historical
society, leading public library or individual that collects works of this nature
should without delay signify their endorsement of the work and give it their
support at the only time it can be of any use — when it is needed to guarantee
the cost of printing — the only condition upon which so great a work can be
printed. The reputation of the Societv that is undertaking this work is
sufllcient evidence that nothing will be backing in its execution, either edi-
torially or mechanically. — Ed.

The AtpmwaU Qeneaimy, Compiled by Algernon Aikin Aspinwall, Wash-
ington, D. C. Published by the Author. The Tuttle Co., Printers, Pub-
lishers and Binders, Rutland, Vt. 8vo, cloth, 111., pp. 262. Price, $5.00,
postage or express prepaid.
This book commences with a brief account of the Aspin walls in England,
referring to the origin and mutations of the name, but making no attempt
to trace the lineage of the family from its earliest history there. Among the
settlers at Toxteth Park, near Liverpool, early in the seventeenth century,
was Edward Aspinwall, who apnears to have been a puritan, and it is prob-
able that he was the father of the first ones of the name who came to this
countrvj namely, William and Peter Aspinwall, the former of whom came
with Wmthrop to Massachusetts Bay in 1630. He married in this country
and had seven children, six of whom appear to have lived to adult a^ and
one died in infancy. Ue returned to England soon after 1651 , accompanied by
his wife and all his children except the two eldest daughters, who married
and remained in this country ; hence there are none of his descendants now
in America who bear the family name. Peter Aspinwall, who came from
Toxteth Park, Eng., in 1630, is the ancestor of most of those bearing that
name now residing in this country. The descendants of six sons and three
daughters are traced in this book, including th^ ninth generation . A promi-
nent feature is the ancestry of many of those who have intermarried with
the Aspinwall family. At the end of the book is an account other families
of the name who have come to America during the eighteenth and nine-
teenth centuries. Thus the book may be accepted as an epitome of pretty
much all that is worthy of note concerning the Appinwalls of America. In
order to avoid bulk (which would also increase the cent to the purchaser)
the compiler has made the biographical matter brief and terse. The illus-
trations consist of a view of the house built by Peter Aspinwall in Muddy
River (Brookline), in 1660, and a map showing the location of the above
house and the land belonging therewith. The book is well indexed. The
author has done his work faithfully, and has produced a book which will
Erove most gratifying to the many 'members ot the family ; but it will also
e of great use to those engaged in tracing allied families, and it should,
therefore, be placed in many of the public libraries of this country. Wo
will say, in addition, that the printers have fullv maintained their well-
earned reputation in the meclianical production of this book.
Gewaiogy of the Hibbard Family Who are Dtscmdants of Robert Ilibbardof FaUm,
JIdauachuseits. Compiled and Published by Augustine George Hibbard,
Woodstock, Connecticut, U. S. A. 11)01 * ♦ * * Printed by The Case,
Lockwood & Brainard Company, Hartford, Connecticut 1801 8vo, cloth,
111., pp. 429. Price, $5.00.
The book commences with a short article on the orthography of the name>
in which the author arrives at the conclupion that the proper ppellinjj is
Hibbard, though many adhere to the f(i;rn) Hebard and a few have it Hib-
bart. The immigrant ancestor, Robert Hibbard, was born in Salisbury,
England, where he was baptized March 13, lf)13. He came to Salem, Mass.,
with his wife Joan or Joanna , between 1635 and 1039, inhere ten children
were born, nine of whom lived to adult age and married. Of theee, four
were sons, from whom all bearing? the name Hibbard — in its varying orthojj-
raphy— as well as female linen, given in this book, are descended. The mi-
grations of the family are distinctly shown, a part of the second and third
generations going to Connecticut, and succeeding generations dispersing
thence to western Massachusetts, Vermont and New York, and afterwards

extending their movements to the Old Northwest, and at the present time
they are found in all parts of the country. Fortunately, many facts relating
to the early history of the familjr were gathered nearly fifty years since by
one of its members then residing in Hartford, Conn., who was compelled by
ill-health to relinquish the work. Since that time, the family haa become
much more widely dispersed and the author, on taking up the work, found
it necessary to conduct an immense correspondence—some two thousand
letters — in order to pick up and connect the scattering links and to bring the
records down to the present time. The result of that labor, as shown in this
book, is eminently satisfactory, and displays the fruit of a vast amount of
work, which is wholly a labor of love on the part of the author. The book
has eood indexes, in both the male and female lines, and it has a goodly
number of illustrations. It also gives the service of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut Hibbards in the war of the Revolution, compiled from authentic
sources ; which is a matter of much importance at the present time. The
prominence of the family, both as regards numbers and the standing of many
of its members, calls for an extensive demand for the book. The printing,
paper and binding are all of the high class which the imprint always signi-
fies. It is illustrated with a goodly number of half-tone portraits of members
of the Hibbard family. At the present time, we are informed, less than thirty
copies remain unsold, and the price of the last ten copies will be $10.00 each.
Therefore it is apparent that all persons or libraries desiring the book must
make early application, as the number now remaining is quite limited.
The Litchfield Family in America [Compiled and Published by Wilford J.
Litchfield ] Part One No. I October, 1901 8vo, paper, pp. 104. Piice,
$1.50. Address of Compiler, 22 Oakes Ave., Southbridge, Mass.
This genealogy is issued in numbers, and the initial number takes up the
history of Lawrence Litchfield and his descendants. He is supposed to iiave
been bom in Kent county, England, before 1620, and he was m Plymouth
Colony before 1639. Many extfac^ts from records referring to hira are given,
showing his various places of residence, bupiness affairs, etc., and these notes
contain much information which is valuable to the genealogist. This part
traces the descendants of Lawrence Litchfield into the fourth generation,
and this line will be completed in succeeeing parts, when other Litchfield
families will receive attention. The work is done in a most thorough and
painstaking manner, which, if sustained throughout the entire work, as we
nave no doubt it will be, will make this one of the most complete family
histories yet published. As the introductory matter and index will be
printed in the last numbers, every patron of the work should subscribe for
the whole at once, in order to secure it in its complete form ; for such a book
without an index would be very unsatisfactory.
History and Genealogy of Hie Mead Family of Fairfield County^ Connecticut

1180 to 1900 By Spencer P. Mead, LL.B. Member of the New York Bar.
Sons of the Revolution, and Society of Colonial Wars New York The
Knickerbocker Press 1901 8vo, cloth, gilt top, deckel edge, ill., pp. ix-|-
132.
This book is an "advance copy'* of the "History and Genealogy of the
Mead Family,'* and contains all the preliminary historical matter preceding^
the Genealogy, comprising 122 pages. It commences with the advent of the
family in England, which was of Norman origin, and is found in the Norman
records from 1180 to 1195, the name being de Prato, which was afterwarda
translated into the English name of Mead in various forms of orthography.
A Coat of Arms is described on page 6, and a picture of it, in heraldic colorn,
appears as the frontispiece of the book. The history of the family in New
England is next taken up, the first settlers being brothers named Goodman
(called Gabriel) and William Mead, who sailed from Lydd, County Kent,
England, in 1635, the former remaining in Massachusetts and becoming the
ancestor of the Meads of that state and the latter going with the tide of
emigration to Connecticut, and became the ancestor of the Fairfield and
Greenwich, Conn., Meads. In succeeding chapters the various migrations-
Digitized by VjOOQIC

of the family are given. A history of the military services of members of
the family shows that they figured in all the principal wars of our country,
from the Colonial down to the Spanish- American and Philippine wars, in all
of which the family was numerously and quite conspicuously represented.
We have before us ocular proof of the excellence of the historical part of
the work, and we hope to enjoy the privilege, sometime in the future, of ex-
amining and reporting upon the genealogical part, which is now going
through the press, and we have every reason to expect that it will be done
in the same manner as the first part now appears. Among the illustrations
appearing in this book are several historical houses of the Revolutionary
period, and pnortraits of prominent men of the family. The printing and
binding of this book are elegant, which promises a most elaborate and ^)odly
sized volume when the work appears in its complete form, and one which
every member of the family should d^re to possess or have access to.

The greater part of this book comprises a " Historical Address On Samuel
Bemis, with Short Sketches of His Ancestry and Posterity, Delivered in the
Town Hall, Spencer, Mass., Oct. 29, 1901." The author, in carrying out the
work assigned to him, found he had gathered much more material than
could be condensed into an address to be delivered within the space of one
hour, and it was therefore suggested that the whole be published in book
form, in order that none of it might be lost. This was also amplified by
including other historical papers. No other historical work, worth men-
tioning, relating to that town since the appearance of the second edition of
** Draper's History of Spencer, Mass..'* in 1860, has been published, and this
work, besides amplifying and extending the history ana genealogy of the
Bemis family contained in Draper's book, contains much matter of interest
concerning other persons and events in that old Massachusetts town. It is
worthy of note that the Howe family, of whom the inventor of the sewing
machine was a member, were connected bv marriage with this Bemis family
and that Elias Howe, Jr., was a native of Spencer. The same family also
had other quite noted inventors. The descendants of Samuel Bemis are now
widely dispersed over this country, and many of them are filling honorable
positions. The book is copiously illustrated with portraits, views of resi-
dences and other objects of interest. It should find a place with Draper's
History in all libraries which are so fortunate as to possess that work (as well
as in all such as do not, that have a special historic-genealogical collection.)
It should be noticed that this book bears ^on its titlepage the legend
** Vol. I.," which indicates more to follow. The same fact is also shown
undor the head of Books in Preparation on page 26. The contents of the
book would have been more easily accessible had there been a full index
of names, and its absence is greatly to be regretted.

THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY.
AFRIL, 1Q02.
THOMAS WORTHINGTON.
By Frank Theodore Cole, of Coluxunbus, Ohio.
About the middle of the seventeenth century two brothers
of the ancient Lancashire family of Worthington arrived in
Philadelphia, bringing with them some fair amount of property.
After some time one of them went to New England and the
other, Robert, with his son Robert, a mere lad, went to Mary-
land, where he bought land in the neighborhood of Baltimore,
and established iron works, which in due time brought him
fortune. He then removed to Baltimore.
Robert Jr. grew to manhood, married and had children. In
his old age, he lost his wife and, all his children being married,
he proposed to take as a second wife, a very young woman.
When his children objected, he divided his property into eight
or nine shares, kept one for himself, gave the others to his
children, married his young wife and moved to Berkeley Co.,
Virginia, at the mouth of the Opequam Valley, where he bought
land, cleared and stocked it, and where in 1731-2 a son was born
to him, he being then about seventy years of age. While this
boy was still an infant, the father died while returning from a
visit to Baltimore. His young widow married again and died
at a great age in 1798.
This child, named Robert, grew up with neglected education,
which defect he remedied by later efforts. His estate increased
greatly in value during his long minority and was still further
augmented by his own prudent management.
At an early age he married Margaret Edwards of Prince Ed-
ward county. He is represented as sedate and gentle in his
manners, yet decided and prompt in action, and a devout Epis-
copalian. His time was employed in agriculture and in land
speculations. He was a captain of colonial troops in one Indian
expedition and, in 1775, raised and equipped largely at his own
expense a troop of horse, for service under Washington in
Massachusetts. When all was ready he appointed a farewell
barbecue at Bath Springs, intending to march the following
morning.

84 Thomas Warthington. [April,
That night he died of bilious colic. His wife survived him
but a few years. Of his six children, Thomas, b. July 16, 1773,^
the subject of this sketch, was the youngest.
The oldest son, Ephraim, was at Princeton College, but leav-
ing on the death of his father, lived at the Manor, married, and
died a young man. The eldest daughter, Mary, who married
Edward Tiffin, afterwards first Governor of Ohio, died in 1808.
The second son, Robert, also settled in Ohio.
Left an orphan in early childhood, Thomas Worthington's
early years were spent at the Manor. After his brother's early
death, he must have been greatly under the influence of his
sister Mary, **a woman of commanding talents and rare piety,
to whom he was devotedly attached."
From her he probably imbibed the dislike for slavery which
induced him at a later date to free the slaves that came to him
by inheritance.
At the age of fourteen he chose as guardian Gen. William
Darke, a Revolutionary veteran, under whose wise management
his property multiplied, and who secured for him such educa-
tional advantages as the times allowed.
When nineteen years old he desired to travel and his guardian
refusing his consent, he secretly left home with some money,
and took passage on a British ship bound to the West Indies,
from thence to Northern Europe, and home, a voyage of two
years. He was swindled out of his money, and at Glasgow
shipped as a sailor, on the same ship and made the voyage up
the baltic and back to Alexandria, having at one time barely
escaped the Press Gang, by the determination of his captain.
This voyage must have had great influence on his character.
The experience of such misfortunes and the determined over-
coming of them developed and trained the energy and perse-
verance for which he was afterwards so noted.
He took possession of his property and busied himself in its
care for a year, till in 1796, he joined a party of young men,
who started for the Virginia Military District between the
Miami and Scioto Rivers in Ohio, to locate the land warrants
of their fathers and friends.
Gen. Darke's only son had been killed in the battle in which
St. Clair was defeated and he placed his warrants in the hands
of young Worthington. The party rode to Pittsburg, floated
down the Ohio to the mouth of the Scioto, and made their way
thence by a blazed trail to Chillicothe, where they found some
twenty houses of the rudest structure. Col. Massie had laid out
the town that summer, and Mr. Worthington evidently bought
three lots from him at this time. He located Gen. Darke's war-
rants on the table lands above Chillicothe.
Soon after his return from this trip he married, December 13,
1796, being then twenty-three years of age, Eleanor Van Swear-
iBgen, only daughter of Josiah Van Swearingen, deceased, at the
residence of her aunt, Mrs. Shepherd, in Berkeley (now Jefifer-

son) county, Virginia.* Her mother was Phcbc, dau. of James
Strode of near Martinsburg, Berkeley county. General For-
man, a British officer, who had married a daughter of the Duke
of Hamilton, had been sent to the colony on affairs of some
moment. This wife and daughter, Annie, accompanied him.
The latter became the wife of James Strode and died in 1784
leaving four daughters, the third of whom, Mrs. Van Swearin-
gen, died a few days after her mother. She was followed seven
years later by her husband. They left one daughter, Eleanor,
and three younger sons. The grandfather Strode cherished
great affection for this granddaughter, and on his death, be-
queathed to her the mother's share of his estate ^excluding
her brothers). To this was added the fourth part of her fath-
er's estate.
These young people were thus possessed in their united
fortunes of large wealth, and were at the same time independent
of control. The inbred nobleness of their character permitted
them to use their wealth and independence for justice and the
good of their fellow men, and their calm Christian faith tem-
pered their acts with mercy, benevolence and self renunciation.
They determined to free the slaves that they had inherited,
and as the law of Virginia then required that the manumitted
*Gerret Van Sweaiingen was bom in Beemsterdam, Holland, in 16r.6. In 1656 he wa«
appointed supercargo of the Dutch West India Company's ship Prince Maurice, sailing with
emigrants and supplies to the Delaware River. They sailed Dec. 21, 1656, and on March 8,
1657, the ship was wrecked on Fire Island, on the south coast of Long Island. The party
and a portion of the cargo was rescued, taken to New AmFterdam ana finally sent on their
way In the ship Beaver, arriving at New Castle, Del., April 25. There he obtained his dis-
charge from the service of the company, and engaged in business. He was soon appointed
clerk and commissary, and in a letter of Dec. 8. l^SQ, he says that he had been sheriff, waa
inst appointed secoud councelor, and had married. His wife was Barbarah de Barrette, b.
in VaJleucienues. France.
In 1664 the English took possession of New Castle and he soon moved to Maryland, where
In April, 1669, with his wife and two children he was nHtura]i;sed by act of the General
Anembly held at Ht. Manr's. The significance of this action is found in the fact, that only
British subjects could hold land. He was an innholder in 8t. Mary's and owned land in
that county and also in Talbot county, on the eastern shore. In 1668 he was an alderman
of St Marv^s and was Sheriff in 1686 and 1687. In 1684 he wrote an account of the settlementa
on the Delaware River, probably in the interests of Maryland in the boundary dispute with
William Penn.
His wife Barbarah d. in 1670 and he m. Mary Smith of St. Mary's, the antenuptual settle-
ment being signed Oct. 5, 1676. He d. 1698 and his widow some years after. Of his four
sons, the eldest, Zacharias, b. In New Castle about 1668, lived in Ht. Mary's county. In his
wiU refers to his wife and and daughter, Jane. The third son. Joseph, was b. at St. Mary's
1697, and the youngest, Charles, probably died before his mother, as nc is mentioned in tne
father's will and not in the mother's.
The second son, Thomas,* was b. at 8t. Mary's 1665, lived in Somerset Co., Md., on the
eastern shore, where he owned land and d. 1710 leaving four sons, Thomas, Van, Samuel
and John. We are only concerned with the first two. Thomas,' b. in Somerset Co.. 1688 ;
m. Lydia Riley ib. 1691 ; d. 1764). About 1734 he settled near the present site of Shepherds-
town, In Berkeley (Jefferson) Co., Va. (now W. Va.), where he passed his life, having accu-
mulated much land, which remained in the possession of his descendants over a century.
He left two sons, Thomas* and Van.*
Van,* the second son of Thomas,* b. about 1692 ; m. Elisabeth Walker, and took op landa
in Washington (k>., Md. (across the Potomac from Berkeley Co.). Finding his land covered
by a former grant^the Ringgold Manor— he leased the land for his own life and two of his
•cms, and it was held by them for nearly ninety vears. He lived to be 109 years old. He
had six sons and six daughters, the second of whom Sarah* (b. Nov. 20, 1T22 ; d. Nov. 1,
1766), m. her cousin Van Swearingen in June, 1743.
Van* Swearingen (Thomas* and Lvdia, Thomas,* Oerrit^), b. May 22, 1719. Was Deputy
Lieatenant of Berkeley Co. before the Revolution with the rank of Colonel, was called
*' King Van " from his office, and performed the duties of the same office during the Revo-
lution nnder the state government. His second wife was Priscilla Metcalf . He d. April 30,
1788, leaving seven children of whom the eldest was Jodah,* b. March 28, 1744 ; d. Aug. 9,

slave be provided with a home they decided to settle them in
Ohio, whose fertile soil Mr. Worthington had seen the previous
year.
The land of Gen. Darke, near ChilHcothe, wa^ purchased, and
with his brother-in-law, Dr. Edward Tiffin, Mr. Worthington set
out on May 1, 1797, arriving at ChilHcothe on the 17th.
In a letter to his wife he says they found the greatest change
from the year before, some hundred houses in the town and
probably one hundred and fifty families within a circle of twelve
miles, four shops fairly well stocked, and a good class of people
as settlers. He determined to move there himself, and during
the summer built a house on the block bounded by the present
Paint and Walnut streets. This was the first house in the place
to have glass in the windows. Dr. Tiffin also built a house that
summer and early in the fall they returned to Berkeley, where,
.Nov. 20, 1797, his first child, Mary, was born.
The winter was spent in preparation and in the latter part of
the following March the party started for their new home, Mr.
and Mrs. Worthington and child, his brother Robert and his
family, Dr. Edward Tiffin and his wife and two younger broth-
ers of Mrs. Worthington.*
They took with them plate, china, damask, and other evi-
dences of their wealth ; bulbs, roots, flower seeds, shrubs, and
domestic animals, and were accompanied by a large company
of freedmen whom Mr. Worthington settled on parts of his land,
allowing them to purchase a freehold, by gradual payments, if
they desired.
They followed the usual route, to Pittsburg by carriage, to
the Scioto by flat boats, and through the woods by trail to the
new home, where they arrived April 17, 1798. By the help of
their followers they were soon comfortably settled, and the
gardens bloomed with the familiar flowers. Mr. Worthington
was then twenty-five years old.
In 1796 Mr. Worthington had evidently solicited appointment
as Deputy Surveyor General, for in December of that year
*The three brothers of Mrs. Worthington were (1.) Thomas Van* Swearlngen, b. Dec. 19,
1779: m. Theododia Goodale, April 6, 1806. who d. in ChUlicothe, C, April 6, 1832. He left
€hilllcothe in 1832 and settled In Milford, 0., and in 1840 moved to Crawford Co., 111., where

Rufus Putnam wrote him promising an appointment (St. Clair
Papers, II. 413), and in February, 1798, he was given a contract
to survey the district between the Ohio Company's purchase
and the Scioto River. Therefore most of that first summer and
fall must have been spent in the woods. He seems to have
been appointed a Major of Militia, and in the following year to
have been much offended at the appointment by Gov. St. Clair
of Samuel Finlay, as Colonel, feeling that he should have
received the honor (St. Clair Papers, II. 252.) In the summer
of his arrival he was elected, as was also Dr. Tiffin, to the first
Territorial Legislature which met at Cincinnati February 4, 1799,
nominated ten candidates for the Legislative Council and ad-
journed to September 16 following, and finally convened on the
25th. Dr. Tiffin was chosen speaker, Mr. Worthington's name
appears on one of the three standing committees and on six of
the nineteen special ones.
At that time William H. Harrison was Secretary of the Ter-
ritory. His family were away and he received Mr. and Mrs.
Worthington into his house, which they continued to occupy
during the session, and after Mr. Harrison's election to Congress.
In the spring of 1800 he was in Philadelphia, at his own ex-
pense, urging on Congress, through Mr. Harrison the Delegate,
the subdivision of the surveyed sections of land into half and
quarter sections, that the poorer emigrants might be able to
purchase. During that summer he erected on Paint Creek the
first mills of any consequence in the region, and there May 10,
1800, his second daughter, Sarah, was born.
In 1800 a proposition was made to divide the territory, and
Mr. Harrison was made chairman of a committee to report a
plan.
On May 28, 1800, Governor St. Clair addressed him recom-
mending a division into three parts. The first bounded on the
west by the Scioto River, with the capital at Marietta. The
second bounded on the west by a north and south line from
opposite the Kentucky River and with Cincinnati as the capital,
and the third to the Mississippi River with Vincennes as the
capital. As this would delay the formation of the eastern part
into a state, Mr. Harrison in the interests of the state party
reported in favor of the line from the mouth of the Great Miami.
The new western division was called Indiana Territory, and
Harrison was appointed its Governor. William McMillan of
Cincinnati was elected for Harrison's unexpired term as Dele-
gate and Paul Fearing of Marietta for the new term, December,
1800.
(For the family and personal matters in this article I have followed, in
the main, the Worthington Private Memoir, by Mrs. Sarah Peter, Governor
Worthington's daughter. For this rare book — onlv thirty copies were pub-

BURIALS IN THE WESTERN METHODIST GRAVE-
YARD. CHILLICOTHE, OHIO.
Contributed by Wuuam B. Milli, ChUllootlie, Ohio.
The Methodist graveyard, comer of Chestnut and Cherry
streets, was leased to the Methodists about 1880 by Gov.
Thomas Worthington, for 09 years, renewable forever ; being
a part of a subdivision he had added to Chillicothe.
The old Methodist meeting house, though altered into a liv-
ery stable, still stands on the N. E. corner of the alley between
Paint and Walnut streets. In 1848, the congregation amicably
divided, one portion building the church on East Main street,
now known as Trinity M. E. Church, the other portion of the
congregation remaining in the old church until 1852, when they
built the Walnut Street M. E. Church, selling the old meeting
house to the congregation of St. Mary's Catholic Church.
Both congregations continued to use this burial ground until
about 1890, when its neglected appearance led the citizens in the
vicinity to have the city council declare the place a nuisance,
and order it abandoned. Some of the graves in the burial
ground were unmarked.
Note. — For conyenience of reference, and for economizing space, these
inscriptions haye been shorn of all useless yerbiage and arranged alphabet-
ically ; which we trust our readers who are searching for facU, rather than
rhetorical curiosities, will appreciate. — 'Ed.

Notes.
BuBSAU OP KiKGSBUBT ANCESTRY. — Mr. Joscph Addifion KingsbuiT, of 93S
Penn Ave., Pittsburg, Penn., author of "Genealogy by the name of Kings-
bury," proposes to have ** a place where Kingsbury items may be sent, where
they will be preserved, where the information may be available to inquirers
and issued in supplemental pamphlets." We think it is a very commend-
. able plan, and would be glad to see it generally adopted by those who may
publish TOnealogies of families. Of course, the expense should not be allowed
to fall wnolly upon the person who voluntarily takes the burden upon him-
self, but should be shared by members of the family who enjoy the benefit
of his work.
James. — We are pleased to note that Professor Edmund Janes James, late
of the University of Chicago, has been elected President of the North-
western University at Evanston, 111. President James is a member of thi&
Society, and is quite enthusiastic on the subject of genealogy. He has col-
lected a goodly^amonnt of material relating to families in the Old Northwest^
and we hope to receive from him, in the near future, some interesting con-
tributions for The Quabtbrly.
The Minnesota Historical Society. — The library of this society contains
of American genealoeies 1,321 bound volumes and 647 pamphlets, besides
many books in this class published by societies, others giving genealogies of
many :kunilie« collectively, and the genealogical portion of township histories.
These collections are free for the use of readers and students, ana are much
consulted by those tracing lines of ancestry.
Queries.
The depArtment of Queries is free to members of this Society « only. To all others a.
charge of ten cents per line will be made.
Persons sending queries to Thi Quarteblt should give their names and P. O. addresses.
Beplies to queries should, in all oata, be sent to the Editor, for insertion in The Qu abtzblt.

I. Omeatcgiei,
Persons of the several names, or families, are advised to famish the eom-
pilers of Uiese genealogies with records of their own families and any other
mformation which they think will be osefoL We woold suggest that all
facts of interest illostratinff family history or character be commonicsAed,
especially service in an^ of the wars of our country f which may be of mate-
rial benefit to those desiring to establish eligibility for membership in the
various patriotic hereditary societies), other service under the U. S. govern-
ment, the holding of other offices, flpraduation from coUe^^ or prof^eional
achools, occupations, and places ana dates of birth, marriage, residence amd
death. When there are more than one Christian name they should ail be
ffiven in full, if possible. No initial should be used when full names are
known.
Adoflm.'—'SLOTL. Andrew N. Adams, Fair Haven, Vt., proposes to complete
and publish durine the ensuing year (provided a sufficient number of sub-
ecriptions can be obtained to guarantee the expense of printing and distri-
bution) the genealogical records of the descendants of William Adams, wlu>
was born in Shropshire, Eng., Feb. 3, 1594 ; came to America in 1628, locating
first in Cambridge, Mass., but removing in 1642 to Ipswich, where he pro-
cured a large tract of land in the part which is now Hamilton — a farm still
owned by the family. The book will comprise 500 pages— possibly more —
and there will be only a limited number of copies. The records of numerous
collateral families will be given, as far as possible, and the book will contain
interesting illustrations. The author is a member of the New Eneland His-
toric Genealogical Society and of the ** Old Northwest," and has liad hurge
experience in genealogical work, having published no less than three volumes
of nistories of various Adams families, besides other historical books. The
price to advance subscribers for this book will be $5.00 per cojpy, including
cost of delivery, and will, likely, be higher after publication. Orders should
be sent to above address.

Scotland, announce that thev have in course of preparation the above very
important work, which will be published in 1902. It will contain complete
tables of all the living descendants of Edward IV. and Henry VIL, Kings
of England, and James IIL, King of Scotland, and all the subsequent Sover-
eigns of these Realms, now numbering several thousand. Among the
descendants of King Henry's eldest daughter, the Queen Consort of Scot-
land, will be found the names of everv crowned head, with the exception of
the Kings of Norwav and Servia, and the Princes of Monaco and Montene-
gro, and of the members of all the royal and princely houses of Europe, and
of many of the higher nobility of France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Poland,
Bohemia and Portugal. In order to render the work more complete, the
issue of morganitic marriages have been traced out and included. The de-
scendants of the younger daughter, Mary, Queen Consort of France, Duchess
of Suffolk — by far the more numerous — are almost exclusively confined to
members of the British nobility and their descendants in England, the
Colonies, and America, and are found in every class and station. The names
of {dl those persons entitled to quarter the Royal Arms will be designated
by a sign. There will be an alphabetical list of names at the end of the
work. Unlike other works on Royal Descents, in which only the names of
those who may have paid are inserted, no charge or condition will be made
in the present work of any name— the object of the compiler being to include
every one who can show a genuine descent from any of the Soverei^s
named. In future volumes it is proposed to treat the descendants of Kmg
Edward III. in a similar manner, and the author inWtes the cooperation of
all having Royal Descents in order that his work may be as complete as
possible. The illustrations will be of Royal and Illustrious Personages who
appear in the line of descent. They will include four photogravure plates
and about sixteen full-page illustrations printed separately from the text;
also, as a frontispiece, a facsimile in colors of the page of the beautifully
illuminated Missal, originally belondng to the Countess of Richmond (now
in possession of Exeter College, Oxford), which contains the only record of

BOOK NOTICES.
[Persons sending books for notice shonld state, for the information of readers, the price
of each book, with the amount to be added for postage, or charges, by mall or express.]
Governor WiUiam Bradford^ and his son. Major William Bradford. By James
Shepard. New Britain, Conn., James Shepard, 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 104.
Price, by mail postpaid, $2.10.
The book opens with a short sketch giWng the origin of the name of
Bradford, and the ancestry of Governor Bradford is traced to his grand-
father, William, of Austerneld, Yorkshire, England, who was living there
in 1575, and his burial is recorded January 10, 1595-6. His eldest son,
William, whose wife was Alice Hanson, was the father of Governor Bradford,
and was baptized March 19, 1589. The next 62 pages are devoted to a biog-
raphy of Governor Bradford, and this is believed to be the only volume
devoted to his* life. His eldest son was Major William Bradford, who was
bom June 17, 1624, and died Dec. 12. 1671. A short sketch of his life is
given, ending with the names of his fifteen children, by three wives, together
with dates ofbirth and death and their marriages, which will enable many —
with the genealogical material now available— to trace their descent from
Governor Bradford, of Mayflower fame. The author traces his own descent
through Meletiah Bradford, daughter of Major William, who married John
Steele, and brings the line down to his daughter who is nine generations re-
moved from Governor Bradford. The book is neatly printed, on heavy x>aper,
Illustrated with half-tone and line engravings which are of historical inter-
est, and has an index of persons. This is a most valuable book for all who
are interested in Pilgrim history, and of 8X)ecial interest to all Bradford
descendants. As the edition is limited, and is bein^ rapidly exhausted, all
desiring it should send their orders to the author without delay.
The Dorrance Family in the United Stales A Partial Becord. Published by
A. A. Dorrance Coldwater, Mich. Press of W. C. Bailey Coldwater
March A.D. 1901 8vo, paper, pp. 24.
This small pamphlet claims to be nothing more than a partial record of
the Dorrance lamily in America, who were descendants of Kev. Samuel Dor-
rance, who was bom in Scotland, A.D. 1685 ; received the honors of the
University of Glasgow in 1709, was licensed to preach in 1711, and emigrated
to America about 1720, in company with three brothers, and settled in Vol-
untown (now Sterling), Windham county, Conn. Two sons served in the
American army in the Kevolution, and agrandson served in the War of 1812.
Besides the descent of the Bev. Sainuel I^rrance. that of his brother James
is gdven, together with many interesting historical items. At ^e condoaion
of nis pamphlet, the author says: *' Being well advanced in Teara myself,
I have thought proper to give my relatives sudi evidence as I nsvei withovt

delay, and let others complete the work I have left undone." I%ia is indeed
a good foundation, and we hope some yonnger member of the family may
at some future time rear upon it an equally good superstructure, thus mak-
ing a complete genealogical history of the Dorrance family.
The Qreene Family m Englaivd and America wUh PedA^freeB. [Compiled by
Gardner Greene of Norwich, Conn., and Frederick Amory of Boston, Mass.]
Boston Privately Printed 1901 8vo, buckram, pp. 147-f d pedigrees.
In this book, the compilers disclaim any attempt to give "a complete
genealogy, but rather to enable the members of that brancii with wuidi
they are more immediately connected, to trace their line to the English an-
cestry and to show the descent from the emigrant directly to Nathaniel
Greene, who died in Boston in 1714, and more especially to the families of
hifi two sons, Benjamin and Gardiner Greene of Boston, with only such
occasional rdEerences to collateral branches as would aid those who may so
desire» to follow out the lines at their leisure." They intimate that another
person is now preparing a genealogy of the family, and they have therefore
omitted much valuable material, which did not seem consistent with their
plan and which they expect to find incorporated in the latter work. The
branch of the family represented in this oook settled in Rhode Island in
1635, and have intermarried with other noted families in New Eneland and
elsewhere, among whom are : Almy, Amory, Chandler, Copley, Ely, Gburdi-
ner, Gorton, Gould, Hubbard, Perkins, Potter, Sayles and Timmins, all of
whom are clearly shown in the Pedigree Charts at the end of the book. The
book is beautifully illustrated with half-tone cute of English and American
views, a coat-of-arms in colors, and family portraits, and has a full index of
names. The printing and binding are both elegant and substential and the
volume reflects much credit upon the printers as well as the compilers.
The WoihingUm County Branch of (he Heath Family — Genealogical Record. By
Stuart C. Wade. (From the Greenwich [N. Y.] Journal, Sept. 4, 1901,
pp. 5.)
The history of these adventurous pioneers who settled in Greenwich and
its vicinity was published in the local newspaper with the object of evoking
responses and information from other, and scattered, members of the family,
the author having undertaken the preparation of a genealogy of the Heath
famil)r. These notes contain matter of considerable interest^ and we hope,
sometime in the future, to see tiiem expanded into a good sized genealogy
of the Heath family.
The Phdm Family in Ajnerica, and their Engli»l\ Ancestors, wUh copies of WiUs,
Deeds, Letters, and other Interesting PapersJOoats of Arms and ValuaJ^ Records.
Compiled by Judge Oliver Seymour Phelps, of Portland, Oregon, and
Andrew T. Servin of Lenox, Mass. In Two Volumes. Published by
Eagle Publishing Company, of Pittsfield, Mass. 1899. HI., 8vo, dol^,
pp. 832, 833-1865. Price, $15.00.
This work oi)eiis with an account of the Phelps family in Europe, which
extends to page 67, and contains much valuable and interesting information
regarding the early history of this important family. The orthography of
the name, Coats of Arms wanted to various members of the family, and
many interesting extracts from records are given. John Phelps was private
secretary to Oliver Cromwell, and served as clerk of the court which tried
Charles I. His position in the court is shown in a reproduction of an old
nnaving from Nelson's " Record of the Trial of Charles I." William Phelps,
witn his wife and six children, and his brother George, then unmarried, sons
of James Phelps of Tewksbury, Gloucestershire, England, came to New
England in the ship Mary and John, sailing from Plymouth, Eng^ March 20,
1630, and arriving at Nantasket. now Hull, Mass., May 80, 1630. %ey settlsd
in Porchester, Mass., where William appears, by the records, to have taken
an active part in the affairs of the town until in the autumn of 1635, when,
with a party of sixty, all members of Rev. Mr. Warham's church, they re-
moved with their pastor to Windsor, Connecticut. Here the Phelps iunily
was also conspicuous in the founding and development of this new town,
Digitized by VjOOQIC
66 Book Notices, [April,
and increased and multiplied its numbers, and from thence dispersed over
the New England states and onward through the Middle states, and soon
after the tide of emigration turned to the Northwest Territory a colony of
the Phelps family left the old hive at Windsor, CJonn., and settled in Blendon
township, Franklin county, Ohio. Many of the name, and collateral kins-
men bearing the names of Allen, Goodale, Kilbourne, Moore, etc., have been
prominently identified with the history of Franklin county and vicinity.
The descent of William is traced to include the eleventh generation, after
which that of his brother George is taken up; tlie former ending on page
1257 and the latter on pa^ 1657. James Phelps, who was bom near Tewks-
bury, Eng., in 1740, emigrated to Georgia area 1765-8, was of the same
ancestry as William and George. He married in that state and had three
sons, but his descent seems destined to become extinct in the male line. A
fourth family is that of James Phelps, who was born in England in 1829,
where he married Helen Westcott aoout 1852, came to Canada with his wife
and infant child in 1854, and soon after removed to Buffalo, N. Y., where he
died, his widow still living there with two sons and one daughter. The fifth
family is composed of the descendants of Henrv Phelps, of 8alem, who came
from London in the ship Hercules in 1634, and his two brothers Nicholas and
Edward probably came with him. This family is quite numerous in Amer-
ica, occupying 124 pages of the book. Additional families, consisting mostly
of scattermg emigrants from England and Wales, and others that cannot at
present be identined with any of the original families in this country, fill the
next 35 pages, and 33 pages are devoted to Additions and Corrections, being
mostly matter which was received while the book was passing through the
press. Thus it can be seen that this work probably contains more or less
mformation concerning every branch of the Phelps family now to be found
in America, and any one of the name, whether it be in the book or not,
would probably be able to find the particular line to which he belongs. The
work is arranged upon the Register plan, and is thoroughly indexed. The
printing, paper ana binding are all oi high grade, and the illustrations are
good and plentiful. This is a very valuable work for all belonging to Phelps
or collateral families, and it is also a most useful book for all pubnc libraries
having a genealogical section. The edition is limited, and the price is sure
to advance as the surplus copies become reduced in numbers.

tions and dbarts.
This book gives information concerning some fifty-eight early Puritan
settlers in America, and traces their descent (in the compiler's line) from
three to eight generations, and shows a great amount of research — more than
a hundred books having been consulted— and ^eat pains has been taken to
render every statement accurate. The book is quite profusely illustrated
with facsimiles of signatures and old documents, tombstones, cemeteries,
residences, portraits, etc., and it has four chart pedigrees of families repre-
sented in the book. There is a good table of contents, which adequately
fills the place of an index in such a book. The mechanical part is all that
could be desired, and we congratulate the compiler on having produced so
^ood a book. It should find a place in all important genealogical collections
in this country.

Hiaiory of the Town of Goiherif Connecticut with Oenealogie$ and Biognnhiea
Bated upon the Becords of Deacon Lewis MHU Norton By Rev. A. G. Hib-
bard, A.M. Goshen 1897 Hartford, Conn. Press of The Case, Lockwood
& Brainard Company 1897 8vo, cloth, pp. 602. Price, $5.00.
The book very appropriated opens with a biographical sketch of Deacon
Lewis Mills Norton, who was bom in Goshen in 1783 and died in 1860, and
who durins; the latter part of his life improved every opportunitv to inter-
view the children of the first settlers who were then living and obtain from
them all available facts concerning the first settlement of tne town, and thus
res<Mi(Hl from oblivion much which would have been totally lost in another
deckade. Full accounts are given of all who served in the Colonial and
Revolutionarv wars, as well as the war of the Rebellion. Full histories of
the various churches are ^ven (except the Catholic, of which no records
could be obtained), from their beginnme down to the present time, and the
Goshen Academv, the only secondary eoucational institution of the town —
except a young ladies' seminary or boarding school whose term of life was
from 1819 to 1831— are well portrayed, llie various industries aro fully
described. The moFt important part of the book, to the genealogist, is con-
tained in pa^s 407 to 572 and consists of genealogies of early Goshen fam-
ilies. Promment among these we find the names, Baldwin, Bartholomew,
Beach, Brooks, Buell, Collins, Cook, Gaylord, Griswold, Hall, Humphrey,
Ives, Lewis, Lucas, Lvman, Miles, North. Norton, Richards, Thompson,
Tower, Wadhams and Wright. The next 50 pages contain a complete fist of
marriages (except those from 1786 to 1820, wnich, unfortunately, were lost),
from the first settlemejjt of the town down to 1896. The book has a good
index. This is a good type of the New England town history as it is usually
constructed. It was made for the purpose of preserving the most important
historical records of the town, ana we have no reason to believe that any
essential facts have been omitted. As many representatives of the families
represented in this book are now located m many places throughout the
\¥est, its great utility in libraries therein is apparent. Mr. Hibbard has
done his work well and deserves great credit, and the publishers have main-
tained their standard of excellence in the mechanical execution of the book.
Rolls and Lists of Connecticut Men in the Revolution. 1776-178S. Hartford :
Connecticut Historical Society. 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp. xiii-f 375.
This book is supplemental to the volume issued by the State of Connect-
icut in 1889, entitled ** Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the War of
the Revolution," and is pubfished as Volume VIII of the Collections of the
Connecticut Historical Society. More recent investigations have brought
to light more rolls and additional information not contained in that volume.
As this was designed to be supplemental to the former volume, it has required
much patient and painstaking work on the part of the editor to avoid dupli-
cating matter which appeared in it. As the name of a town from whicn a
man came is an important means of identification, special attention has been
paid to giving the towns wherever they appear on the rolls. Matter relating
to pay, arms, clothing, etc., is mostly omitted in the book, as it is not essen-
tial for establishing proof of service. We have repeatedly referred to the
value of works of this kind, and gladly welcome this important addition to
the list We are also glad to note the statement of the editor, Mr. Albert C.
Bates, that the Society has sufficient material at hand to form another vol-
ume of the size of the present one. The work of the editor has been most
admirably done throughout the book, and the index is complete, comprising
90 double column pages of names. The printing and binain|if of the book
are first class, and the onlv thing to be feared is that the edition will prove
insufficient to supply the legitimate demand.

These volumes increase in interest and value in direct ratio with the in-
crease of membership of the Order, and the data of Revolutionary service
of ancestors. Vol. XIV brin^ the number of records up to 14000, but still
contains none who were admitted later than 1896 ; which shows that there
still must DO a large accumulation of records in the archives of the society
remaining unprinted. We have before referred to the genealogical value of
these records in notices of the previous volumes, and are happy to say that
we think the high standard of work appearing in the former volumes has
been fully maintained in these.

speeches by officetB of the Society, greetings from sister societies, and the
dedication address by Charles Francis Adams, LL.D., President of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Societd, which is a very scholarly production and emi-
nently appropriate for the occasion. The Secretary of the Society, Mr.
Thwaites, gives a comprehensive description of the building, which is illus-
trated with numerous views, both of the exterior and interior, and giving
numerous details of architecture. It is a most sumptuous book and reflects
great credit upon the Society which issued it as well as upon the man who
edited it. ♦

We are indebted to the printers for a copy of this annual of one of the
oldest and best known colleges of New England. It gives a more extensive
expoditition of the faculty and the various student organizations than most
books of its class, and conveys a much more lucid idea of the personnel of
the institution than can be gained from the annual catalogue. The book is
certainly a credit to Dartmouth, being one of the largest and most elegant
ones of its kind we have ev^ seen, and the printers have done their part in
a most elegant and substantial manner, the illustrations, printing, paper and
binding m being of the very best of their respective kinds.

OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEAR 1901.
Repobt of the Sbcbktart.
Columbus, Ohio, January 1, 1902.
rp ^ Ogictn and Memben of The ** Old Narihwest'' Genealogical Society :
As Secretary, I beg leave to report as follows concerning the condition of
the Society during its fifth fiscal year (1901) just cloi»ed:
At the close of the year 1900. the Society hiad 146 members, classified as
follows: Resident members, 106; Associate members, 13; Life members,
13 : Corresponding members, 12; Honorary members, 2.
puring the year the Society has elected 21 members, as follows : Resident
members, 12 ; Associate members, 2 ; Life members, 4 ; Corresponding mem-
ber, 1 ; Honorary members, 3. Three Resident and one Associate member
were made Life members on account of donating books, leaving a net gain
of 17 members, and making a total of 163.
The losses durinff the year have been as follows : Resigned, 6 ; Dropped
for non-payment of dues, 2 ; Died, 3; total, 11 ; which leaves a membership,
at the close of 1901, of 155, classified as follows: Resident members, 109;
Associate members, 12; Corresponding members, 12; Life members, 17;
Honorary members, 5.
During the year, 15 subscribers (not members of the Society) and 40
public and college libraries have taken The Qdabterly, being a gain of one
in the two items. The number of exchanges is now 36, a gain of 6 ; makine
the total circulation of The Quarterly 246, a ^ain of 19. Sample copies oi
each issue have been sent to libraries and individuals, resulting in a few new
subscriptions. There has been a greater demand for single copies than in
previous years.
The correspondence of the Society has been greater than ever before, thus
increasing the work of the Secretary ; but the experience of the past year
Remonstrates the fact that so long as there is no remuneration attached to
any position in the Society it is useless to elect any one to relieve the Secre-
tary of any share of his burdens ; therefore I would recommend that there
be no Assistant Secretary elected for the ensuing year.
As The Quarterly is' not self-sustaining, and the income from dues is
insufficient to meet the deficit and to pay the running expenses of the Soci-
ety, it seems necessary that something must be done to increase the income
of the Society. If it cannot be done by increasing the dues, which a majority
of our local members seem averse to, it will necessarily have to be done in
some other way. Several plans have been talked of, some of which appear
quite feasible; out thus far every one has failed to pro<ince results, simply
for want of the necessary action to carry them into enect. It is to be hoped
that something more may be done during the coming year to lift the Society
out of debt and to create a small surplus, in order that some of the needs
pf the library and The Quarterly may be supplied, and possibly something
be left to remunerate a portion of the labor wnich is now being performed
gratuitously. Respectfully submitted,
Lucius C. Herrick, Secretary,

A genealogical dictionary of the conoty to the year 1890, is being publishad in the
form of arranfEed g^enealogies. As Essex County comprises the following cities and
towns: Anesbury, Andover, Beverly, Boxford, Bradford, Byfield, Danvera, Sssez,
Georgetown, Gloucester, Groveland, Hamilton, Haverhill. Ipswich, Lawrence, Lynn,
Lvnnfield, Manchester, Marblehead. Merrimac. Methuen, Middleton, Nahant, Newbnry,
Newburyport, North Andover, Peabodv, Rockport, Rowley, Salem, Salisbury, Sangns,
Sn^rampscott, Topsfield, Wenham and West Newbury, all of which were settled prevums
to 1650, the great value of such a dictionary is at once apparent. The records of old Nor-
folk County (1648-1679), which included all towns north of the Merrimac river, are also
being printed. £arly wills, cemetery inscriptions, revolutionary rolls, sketches oC customs
and earl^ industries, etc., furnish a variety of historical data alike valuable to. the

THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY.
JULY, 1903.
LUCIUS BLISS WING.
By Samuei, Carroi,!, Derby, A. M.
Professor of Latin, Ohio State University ; Historian of The " Old Northwest "
Genealogical Society.
Lucius Bliss Wing, a member of the "Old Northwest" Genea-
logical Society, was born at Wilmington, Vermont, November
15th, 1822, and died at Newark, Ohio, February 1st, 1902. He
was a descendant, in the sixth generation, from John' Wing,
whose arrival in America, June 5, 1632» is thus noted by Gov-
ernor Winthrop in his journal: " Arrived, the William Francis,
Mr. Thomas, master ; which left London on the 9th of March,
and reached this port [Boston] after a voyage of eighty-eight
days, with about sixty passengers, whereof were Mr. Welde
and old Mr. Batchelder, being aged 71, with their families, and
many other honest men.'*
John' Wing, with his mother, Deborah Wing, and his three
brothers appear to have been considered as a part of the family
of " old Mr. Batchelder," his grandfather, and a non-conform-
ing clergyman, whose religious opinions, it was more than
intimated not long after his arrival in New England, were
" very much tainted with Antinomian and Familistical errors."
This accusation came from a theological opponent, but it may
be admitted that a disposition to think for themselves in mat-
ters of religion is readily discoverable in the descendants of
Mr. Batchelder's daughter, Deborah Wing ; several of these
soon became Quakers. Recent genealogical researches have
made it clear that Deborah (Batchelder) Wing was the widow
of the Rev. John Wing, third son of Matthew Wing, and
grandson of Godfried Wing (Wynge), a well-kown Protestant
refugee from Belgium, who after a life spent at various places
in England and on the continent, became, in 1563, minister of
the Dutch Church in London, where he died September 30,
1599. His grandson, John Wing, admitted B. A. at Oxford,
February 16, 1603, became pastor of the church at Sandwich
in England, to which his grandfather, also, had preached.
Later, the Rev. John Wing served as pastor of various
73

churches in Holland, but died at St. Mary Aldermary, London,
about 1630. He was married in 1610 to Deborah Batchelder,
born 1592, and had at least five children ; Deborah born 1611,
and married previous to her father's death, Daniel, Matthew,
Stephen, born 1621, and John\ who was born 1613.
June 22, 1624, a license "to pass beyond seas "was granted
to ** Debora Wynge, 32 years old, wife of Mr. John Wynge
preacher resident of Flushing." This town is in the province
of Zealand, Holland.
Mr. Batchelder, the father of Deborah Wing, became a
prominent and sharply criticised personage in the early history
of the colony of New Hampshire and, after a troublous life,
died in his 100th year. The date of the death of Deborah
Wing has not been ascertained. After a short sojourn at
Saugus (Lynn, Mass.), she, with her sons, John, Daniel, Mat-
thew and Stephen, removed to Sandwich, Mass. In this town,
probably named for the English seaport where the Wings,
Godfried and John had been pastors — or in its vicinity — the
first three generations of their American descendants lived and
died. Their chief occupation was that of tilling the soil, and
such, also, was the employment of the grandfather and father
of the subject of this sketch, who thus inherited his interest in
agriculture from five consecutive generations of New England
farmers.
John* Wing, the emigrant ancestor, married about 1646,
Elizabeth , and had seven or eight children. His second
wife was Miriam Deane. John* died in Harwich, Mass., in his
84th year.
Ananias' Wing, born 1651, married Hannah Freeman, was a
soldier under Capt. John Gorham in the " Narragansett War,"
and died in 1718, fifteen years before Massachusetts made a
tardy grant of lands in its border settlements to the survivors
of " King Philip's War," or to their legal representatives.
John* Wing, born in 1702, married, 1728, Mary Knowles ;
served against the French, probably in the siege of Louisburg,
and died about 1773.
John* Wing, born May 8, 1732 ; removed about 1767 to
Conway, Berkshire Co., Mass., where he died, 1822, aged 98
years. He was thrice married and had eighteen children born
to him. His unusual physical strength and health continued to
the end of his life.
John* Wing^s fifth son, Bani*, born August 10, 1763, married,
first, 1788, Lucy Clary, and, second, 1821,Thirza (Flint) Upton,
widow of Joseph Upton. Lucius* B. Wing was the only child
of the second marriage. The household of John* Wing was
patriotic ; three of the sons were already in the American
army and one of them had been at Bunker Hill, when Bani'
enlisted at the age of 16. His service was on the Hudson near
West Point. He was attached to the body of troops by whom
Andr6 was captured, and witnessed the execution of that
Digitized by VjOOQIC

unfortunate officer, October 8, 1780. In his last years Bani
Wing drew a small pension, under tne federal law of 1832.
After his return from the army he remained in Conway until
1795 when, with his young family, he went northward to Wil-
mington, Vermont, and there established a heme in the wilder-
ness. Of the life and farm at Wilmington his son has left a
brief sketch : ** It was on the banks of the Deerfield river ;
the hills stretched away for miles ; on the summit of one stood
the Congregational church, a large and substantial edifice to
which the entire family for many years made at least weekly
pilgrimages. Month by month and year by year the home
made progress ; gradually the timber was cut away, the wild
choke-cherry thickets disappeared, and sweet mountain grasses
yielded their abundance. In winter this family foddered their
cattle on the snow and in the sheltered glades, and diligently
cultivated the three R's. In springtime they made maple
sugar and famous Vermont butter, built stone walls and cleared
a patch or two for rye, getting ready in that way to send the
oldest boy to college, and failing to do this for all, to send the
others to western New York or the far-off regions of Ohio and
Michigan, where they could put in practice the lessons they
had learned in thrift, frugality and self-reliance."
In 1837 the aged parents returned to Charlemont. Mass., and
spent there the remnant of their days. Bani Wing and his wife
were for fifty years members of the same church, and after his
name and age on the headstone in the old graveyard at Charle-
mont are added these words : ** He was a soldier of the Revo-
lution, and a soldier of the Cross." He had been an early and
steadfast opponent of intemperance and slavery. Of his ten
children five sons have died in Ohio, and four of them at death
were more than eighty years of age. The mother of the sub-
ject of this sketch died at the age of 96. To the end of her
long life " she was blessed with the continued use of her sight,
hearing and judgment — all her mental faculties"; "her pres-
ence was a continual benediction."
Such were the forbears of Mr. Wing, and in them he felt a
genuine satisfaction, and on one occasion thus expressed his
affection for the sturdy father and mother: "Inasmuch as
man does not choose his parents, or the place of his nativity, I
do not consider that either is the subject of glory or shame.
Still if I could have chosen mine, I am sure I would not have
selected any other."
He felt especial gratitude, also, to his oldest brother, to whom
he was closely drawn in his early years. Mr. Wing's education^
in the broader sense of the word, was derived chiefly from the
circumstances and duties of the simple, hardy life in which he
was reared. The backwoods farm at Wilmington, and later
the hill farm in Charlemont, taught the country boy industry,
thrift and foresight, made health and wholesome pleasures the
rule of life, and gave their nurseling a strong body, an open

mind, a hopeful and cheerful temper. To this excellent outfit
he added " a little learning/' gained from the district schools of
Wilmington and Charlemont, and supplemented by a few
months' study first in the neighboring academy at Ashfield
and, in 1844, at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., where
he was enrolled in the English course. For a time he taught
school in Franklin Co., Mass., at Heath and Charlemont ; the
last year in which he taught was 1849. At least two years pre-
vious to that he had followed his older brothers west. Two of
them had spent some years at the New England colony of
Marietta; another, Stalham Wing, had become a forwarding and
commission merchant in Toledo, Ohio, and in Michigan towns
near Toledo. For him Mr. Wing, as clerk and manager, took
charge of the steamboat DeWitt Clinton, which made weekly
trips between Buffalo and Toledo, carrying both freight and
passengers. This business was followed in summer, from 1847
to 1853. By that date the railway system had become so fully
developed that for rapid communication it had superseded the
steamboat line between Buffalo and Toledo. In winter Mr
Wing taught school or was a clerk in some business.
In December, 1853, Mr. Wing removed to Newark, Ohio,
where his brother Rufus had resided since 1825, and began to
buy and ship live stock and flour to the cities of Pittsburg,
Baltimore and New York. Two or three years later he pur-
chased about 1,500 acres of government land in Piatt Co., 111.,
"when land there was plenty and almost as cheap as water,
and it seemed problematical whether it would ever be worth
any more." This tract, improved and beautified until it became
valuable, he kept as stock farms for many years. Upon a part
of it now stands the village of Bement, whose well-shaded
streets are largely due to Mr. Wing's advice and example,
which in various ways were helpful in making the village more
healthful and attractive.
In 1860 he became a member of the firm of Robbins, Wing
& Warner, bankers, at Newark, Ohio, and remained such
through his life. In the early days of the Civil War Mr. Wing
^as urged to take the position of quartermaster, but decided
not to accept it. He went South as a, buyer of cotton and was
captured, December 20, 1862, at Holly Springs, Miss., by Gen.
Van Dorn, but through his shrewd sense aitd good humor was
released without much loss of time or property. His account
of his experience as a prisoner was published in the St. Louis
Globe, For the next decade and more, Mr. Wing was busy ex-
tending his various enterprises in Newark and Illinois, becom-
ing known to the citizens of his neighborhood and state as a
man of sound judgment, high principle and helpful aims.
Since his political faith was at variance with that of a
majority of the voters of the county in which he resided, his
civic services were seldom made use of. In 1885 he lacked a
few votes of being elected state senator. In 1875 he was

elected a member of the State Board of Agriculture and held
this position for five years, and was once chosen president of
that body. The origin and success of the Ohio system of
Farmers' Institutes are due in great measure to his support and
foresight. A large landowner in Illinois, Kansas and Iowa, Mr^
Wing's interest in agriculture and in the many problems of the
country life was intense. His appointment as trustee of the
Ohio State University, in 1881, was a natural result of his service
upon the State Board of Agriculture and success as a man of
affairs, who was closely connected with the agricultural inter-
ests of Ohio, and, at the same time, was known to be a cordial
co-worker in various movements for the benefit of his fellows,
Mr. Wing's official relation to the university was fortunate to it
and very gratifying to him. He was enabled by two reap-
pointments to give to an institution peculiarly dear to him
unstinted service for almost twenty-one years ; for more than
fourteen years he was chairman of its executive committee, a
member of the farm committee for the entire period of his
trusteeship, and was twice elected to the presidency of the
Board of Trustees. The following passage from one of his
addresses before the university reveals much of his desire to
further the rural life and farming interests of Ohio, and gives
a glimpse of the sentiment which, known only to his intimate
friends, was really a characteristic feature of his inner life :
"I know a rugged New England farm [in Reading, Mass.],.
which for 240 years has been in the continuous ownership and
possession of one family. It is to-day owned and occupied by
a lineal descendant of the old patriarch who took the first deed
to it in 1654. Eight generations lie buried in the village grave-
yard, an hour's ride or so from old Andover, their life-duties so
well discharged that it matters little whether the new theology
of Andover is true or false. For eight generations the old
hive has regularly swarmed and the colonies it has sent out are
established in every state from Maine to Oregon. But a staU
wart and dutiful son has always been found in each generation
to remain and hold the homestead. One hundred years after
this farm was first settled, the fourth in descent was killed in
the French and Indian war in a fight on the waters of the
upper Connecticut (1754). Twenty- four years after that his
son and successor was in the war of the Revolution, in the
service of him whose birth and memory we commemorate to-
day (February 22, 1887). This old homestead is the Mecca
toward which, in later years, the steps of many a wanderer is
annually turned. People from distant states, whose names
appear in the genealogical register, whether of near or distant
kinship, meet there and make new friendships or renew old
ones. They provoke each other to good works, one by plant-
ing a memorial tree, another by placing a stone watering place
upon the public road, into which the spring is turned ; another
by some repairs upon the old gambrel-roof house, which, like
Digitized by VjOOQIC
78 Lucius Bliss Wing, [July,
a grandfather in his corner, still occupies a place upon the
lawn, and still another by some bit of farm improvement. So
they pass the summer days, and renew their allegiance to their
Pilgrim ancestors and the faith of their fathers. When at
length they separate, and each takes his departure, one to his
farm and another to his merchandise, the old elm, planted no-
body knows in what generation, lifts up its arms and seems to
say, * Bless you, my children.' "
In the same address Mr. Wing made an earnest appeal "that
the wooded hills, the fertile valleys, the springs and water
courses of our good state might be more fully occupied, im-
proved and appreciated as homesteads." Such passages clearly
reveal his love of the country life, with its memories and asso-
ciations, and that vein of tender sentiment, hidden from most
but always cherished, which prompted and sustained his
increasing efforts to lift and strengthen the rural interests of
his adopted state.
As trustee Mr. Wing ** took an active and appreciative inter-
est in everything connected with the university. He sought to
know personally every member of the faculty and every em-
ployee." His attention extended to all the forms and features
of university life, its societies and clubs, its sports, publications
and amusements ; to the crops of the farm and its live stock,
to the trees and shrubs of the campus. He watched with
intelligent interest the erection of the various buildings, and to
no one more than to him was due the costly and successful
effort to restore the copious spring which adds so attractive a
feature to the university grounds. Not a ready speaker, Mr.
Wing was an excellent listener, and with a humorous illustra-
tion or an apt anecdote not infrequently closed a discussion in
the Board of Trustees. While he stood strongly for the up-
building of the branches which form the foundation of agri-
culture and the mechanic arts, he was broad enough to see that
other subjects had a legitimate place in the university, and
favored the establishment there of the School of Law. To the
service of the university he brought strong common sense,
shrewd judgment, tact, a kindly spirit and the crowning grace
of unselfishness. In the words of one who knew him inti-
mately while a trustee : " It is the deliberate judgment of his
associates, and of others having opportunity to form a correct
opinion, that no trustee of the university has rendered more
faithful or valuable service than Lucius B. Wing."
Neither approaching old age nor the insidious working of an
incurable malady prevented him from performing his duty as
trustee with patient fortitude. It was a characteristic act that
one of the last letters he wrote was to serve the institution
which he had loved so deeply and so long. He counted it one
of the great privileges of his life that he had been able to
render effective aid in creating a potent and perpetual instru-
mentality for the promotion of human welfare.

In the memorial resolutions passed by his colleagues occur
these words : " In the deliberations of the Board he was never
unduly aggressive, and while firm in his own opinions, he
always respected the opinions of others, He was fair and im-
partial in his judgments, and at all times open to new facts or
arguments. He was a model trustee. In his personal relations
towards his associates he was always cordial and friendly. He
inspired a respect and confidence which deepened into warm
personal attachment. Our sense of the loss that the university
sustains in his death is mingled with a keen sense of personal
bereavement."
The members of the faculty of the university felt no less
regret, and nearly all attended the funeral services at Newark.
In politics Mr. Wing was a Republican of positive convic-
tions and enjoyed the confidence of his fellow-citizens of the
same political faith, without losing the respect of his political
opponents. In 1896 he was one of the presidential electors of
Ohio.
A few years after his removal to Newark, Mr. Wing began
to attend the services of the Episcopal Church there, and,
though never a member, served for many years as one of its
vestrymen. He was a member of the Masonic order and of
the Sons of the American Revolution.
Mr. Wing was married. May 31, 1855, to Mary M., daughter
of Capt. George and Armenia (Lazelle) Mayhew, of Charle-
mont, Mass., a lineal descendant from Thomas Mayhew, a
merchant, born at Southampton, Eng., 1592, who emigrated in
1631 to New England, and after taking a prominent part in the
public life of Watertown, Mass., became in 1641 the patentee
and first governor of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the
Elizabeth Isles, There his conduct, uniting wisdom, kindness
and firmness, enabled both English and Indians to enjoy
through King Philip's War " a perfect calm of peace." Later
generations of this family were noted for missionary zeal and
philanthropic service. Mrs. Wing survives her husband, as do
also their two children, Charles Mayhew Wing and Mrs. Mary
LaSalle Shield, both of Columbus, Ohio ; another daughter,
Julia Mayhew, died in infancy.
In his family life and relations Mr. Wing was exceptionally
fortunate and happy. He was a devoted husband, a most
tender and affectionate father, and his home life was almost
ideal in its cheerful, gracious conditions. Those who knew him
lament in his death the loss of a genial companion, an excel-
lent citizen, a sincere friend, an upright and noble man ;

MACKENZIE OF GARLOCH (GAIRLOCH.)*
The first of this family was Hector Mackenzie, eldest lawful
son by a second marriage of Alexander Mackenzie, seventh
laird and Baron of Kintail (one of the progenitors of the noble
family of Seaforth), procreate betwixt him and Margaret,
daughter of Macdonald of Morell, his second wife, this Hec-
tor, by a charter under the great seal granted by King James
IV. dated at Edinburgh the 8th day of April 1513 years and
25th of his majesty's reign, had the lands and barony of Gar-
loch, Glassletter and pertinents, heritably disponed to him and
his heirs male, for military service. He was at the Battle of
Flodden with the said King, and was thereafter tutor of Kintail.
He married Anne, daughter to Macdonald of Moydart, by
whom he had
John, his eldest son and successor in the above lands, who
married Agnes Eraser, daughter to James Eraser, tutor of
Lovat, and second lawful son of Hugh Lord Eraser of Lovat ;
by which marriage he got the lands of Kinkell, and several
others in the low country, for which the family has been in use
to quarter the Eraser's arms with their own. She bare to him
several children, the eldest whereof was
John Mackenzie of Garloch, who succeeded his father, and
married Anne, daughter to Aeneas Macdonald of Glengary, by
whom he had
Alexander Mackenzie of Garloch, who married Macken-
zie, daughter to Roderick Mackenzie of Redcastle, The eldest
son of which marriage was Kenneth Mackenzie of Garloch, who
anno 1635, married Catherine, daughter of Sir Donald Mac-
donald of Slate, by whom he had no issue, and by a second
marriage with Anne, daughter to Grant of that Ilk, by a daugh-
ter of Ogilvy Earl of Eindlater, anno 1640, he had for his son
and successor
Alexander Mackenzie of Garloch, who in anno 1670, married
Barbara Mackenzie, a daughter of Sir John Mackenzie of Tar-
bet, by whom he had one son
Kenneth Mackenzie, who succeeded his father, and, in anno
1700, married Margaret daughter of Sir Rorie Mackenzie of
Eindon. The eldest son of which marriage is Alexander Mack-
enzie, now of Garloch who succeeded his father, anno 1704,
while an infant.
The achievement of the family, as recorded in the Lyon
Register, is, Quarterly, first and fourth, azure, a hart's head
cabossed, and attired with ten tynes, or ; second and third,
azure, three frasiers argent. Which shield is timbred with
helmet and mantlings befitting his quality ; and on a wreath of
his colours is set, for crest, a dexter arm, holding a garland of
laurel, all proper ; with the motto ; Virtute et Valore.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE OLD CEME-
TERY OF RUTLAND, WORCESTER CO., MASS.*
Contributed by David Everett Phillipps, of Columbus, Ohio.
Rutland, which has aptly been called the ** Cradle of Ohio,"
is situated in the center of the state of Massachusetts. Its
scenery is picturesque and beautiful, abounding in hills and
vales, brooks and natural lakes. Its principal street (or road)
one and one-half miles long and ten rods in width, begins at the
" Old Putnam house " and ascends the hill 1250 feet above the
level of the sea to the center village, from which may be seen
the towns and villages in every direction. Mountains nearly
one hundred miles distant are visible. The blue hills of Milton,
near the Atlantic, the Highlands on the Connecticut, Wachu-
sett rises close at hand in the adjacent town of Princeton, while
old Monadnock rears his rugged outline against the northern
sky.
The territory embracing this town was purchased from the
Indians December 22, 1686, settled 1713, incorporated May 80,
1722. Its situation has protected it against the encroachments
of modern life, although its pure air and fine scenery has of late
given it quite wide celebrity as a health resort.
Rutland is rich in historic reminiscence. Its first called min-
ister, together with two or three members of one of its first
families, fell victims of the tomahawk of the savage. During
the Indian troubles, 1723-30, Capt. Samuel Wright, one of its
first proprietors and foremost citizens, led the scouts who pa-
troled the settlements from Brookfield to Lancaster and Sud-
bury. From 1744 to 1760, in the French and Indian war, her
young men did valiant and effective service. It was a war of
races, the Latin against the Anglo-Saxon, for supremacy on
this soil. Not less than eight companies, under their own offi-
cers, marched from these hills to the frontiers on the Hudson,
and Lakes George and Champlain. On their rolls are the

and private records by Mr. Louis M. Banff. Clerk of Rutland. They are owned by his
daugnter Mrs. Harriet (Smith) Bush, of Brookfield. Mass., who placed them at the disposal
of the collator for publication. To Mr. Hanff, Mr. Francis E. Blake, and others, we are
indebted for supplying the funds necessary to procure these MSS. for publication.

famHiar names, Phelps, How, Stone, Wheeler, Moore, Clark,
Rice, Reed, Davis, etc. These years of training and discipline
in the arts of war prepared them for the greater contest to
follow.
In the war of the Revolution the town took prompt action and
furnished many volunteers, who served with honor and distinc-
tion throughout that great struggle. Two fell at Bunker Hill^
and a score or more were at Dorchester and the evacuation of
Boston. In 1778, a division of Burgoyne's surrendered army
were quartered here, extensive barracks having been erected
for their use. Rutland, however, owes its greatest distinction
in having been for eight years the home of Gen. Rufus Putnam,
" Founder and Father of Ohio." His dwelling was built by Col.
John Murray, Rutlaud's wealthiest and most honored citizen,
who at the beginning of the Revolution held an official position
under the crown and refusing to resign fled from the town and
province never to return. His estates were confiscated and sold
and this house was purchased by Gen. Rufus Putnam. It was
in this house, on the 9th of January, 1786, that Gen. Tupper
reported to Gen Putnam the result of his inquiries concerning
the "Ohio Country." "The two veterans sat up together all
night, and by daybreak had formed the plan which resulted in
the organization of the * Ohio Company ' and its settlement at
Marietta," and thus Rutland has earned its title, *' Cradle of Ohio**
The old mansion, together with about 150 acres of land, has
been purchased and its title will be vested in the Trustees of
National Reservations, to be preserved as a " Memorial of Gen.
Putnam." On September 17, 1898, a bronze tablet was placed
at the front entrance bearing the following inscription :♦
""The address upon this occaalon was delivered by Hon. George F. Hoar, Senior Senator
from Massachusetts, to whom is largely due the preservation of the " Putnam Memorial."

Shortly after the settlement of the town, what is now called
the "Old Cemetery" was set apart for burial purposes. It is
located on nearly the highest point of land, near the meeting
house. It is enclosed by a boulder stone wall, within which
rest the remains of the early settlers and the fathers and moth-
ers of those Ohio Pioneers who emigrated from this town
in company with General Putnam and whose descendants arc
found in all parts of the " Old Northwest." Many of the graves

ELIZABETH McCLANATHAN

LUCRETIA CHANDLER,
wife of
John Murray Esq.
died March 21,
1768
He married Deborah Brindley, of Boston,
Dec. 21, 1769, and as no further record of her
appears, she probably accompanied her hus-
band to Nova Scotia in 1774.
Col. John Murray (John McMorrah) came
to America in the snip with Edward Savage
and other emigrants who settled in Rutland.
His mother died and was buried at sea.
In a few years the penniless lad, by his own
energy and ability, arose to be a wealthy and
honored citizen (see introduction). His first
wife waa his youthful companion of the voy-
age and the mother of his ten children. His
second and third wives were of prominent
families of Worcester and Boston.
It was about this period (1760) he built the
famous mansion now known as '• The Putnam
Memorial." (See Illustration).
His second wife, Lucretia Chandler, was
daughter of the second Judge John Chandler,
one of the delegates commissioned by Gov.
Wm. Shirley of Massachusetts, in 1754, to meet
at Albany for a conference with the Indians
of the Five Nations, etc., and of concerting
measures for a union of all the British Amer-
ican Colonies. This was the germ of that
Congress of twenty-two years later which re-
sulted in the union forming the United States
of America.
The Chandlers were a celebrated family
and connected with others of equal note: Gov.
Levi Lincoln, George Bancroft, the historian,
etc.
Lucretia (Chandler) Murray was sister of
the third Judge John Chandler, who was
father of seventeen children, many of whom

OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEAR 1901.
Rbpobt of the Library Ck>MMnTBB.
To the President and Members of The ** Old Northwest " Oenealogical Society:
Sir— The Library Committee appointed in April, 1901, have to report that
daring the term just ended there have been added to the Library 131 books,
75 pamphlets, while 60 volumes have been bound and thus made available
to members of the Society and students of genealogy.
The work of accessioning has been carried on by Dr. Lucius Carroll Mer-
rick, the Librarian. The Library has been furnished with new oak book
cases, and a desk for the Secretary has been obtained through the kindness
of Mr. Charles A. Ridgway.
Agreeable to a resolution passed in April, 1901, a Library Fund was estab-
lished and this augmented by the generous gift of twenty dollars from the
President. This fund in future will probably provide for the carrying on of
the Library without any special effort on the part of the genend member-
ship.
In conclusion, your committee desire to record their grateful thanks to
James Buckingham, Esq., for his gift ; to Mr. C. A. Ridgway, and to Dr.
L. C. Herrick for his indefatigable work as Librarian and to the members
for their ready courtesy and assistance.
(Signed) Horace W. Whayman, Chairman,
Report op the Librarian.
Columbus, Ohio, December 30, 1901.
To the Library Committee of The " Old Northwest " Genealogical Society:
As Librarian, I report as follows ;
The library has remained, through the present vear, in the same room
occupied by it during the preceding year, but will remove on the first of
January to a room on the second floor of the Dispatch Building, comer of
High and Gay streets, Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Cole, having use for his book cases, removed the same and other cases
have been purchased by the Society to replace them ; most of them being
of the Macy Sectional variety, which have proved quite satisfactory.
The accessioning has been continued this year by Miss Nellie Herrick up
to the first of October, since which time it has been done by myself.
The titles of all books and pamphlets received by the library during the
year are shown in the Book Notices and Accessions to the Society's Library
m the various numbers of The Quarterly. The following figures indicate
the growth of the library :
At the close of last year were books, 291 ; pamphlets, 347 ; total, 638
Received during the year, " 131 ; " 75 ; ** 206
Leaving at close of year, " 422 ; " 422; '* 844
By binding periodicals, the library has gained 13 volumes.
There have oeen received for notice in The Quarterly thirty bound vol-
umes and sixteen pamphlets. The size and value of those donated during
the present year greatly exceeded those of last year, showing an increasing
appreciation of The Quarterly, by authors and publishers of genealogies
and historical books, as a means of making their productions known.
The need of cataloguing our collection— either oy cards or the Rudolph
system — is constantly becoming more and more apparent, and a strenuous
effort should be made to raise tne necessary means to inaugurate that work
during the coming year.
The library has been open a few hours each afternoon, the same as last
year, and the attendance by members has been a little in advance of that of
last year, and much more so by those not belonging to the Society. A num.
ber of the latter, on becoming aware of the benefits to be obtained, have
been induced thereby to become members of the Society. The importance
of keeping the room open at stated hours, and of having it known by the
Digitized by VjOOQIC
120 Official Reports. [July.
public, is apparent, and it is to be hoped that the Society will, ere long»
make an effort to provide the means for that purpose.
It is hoped that the new quarters secured by the Society, being more cen-
tral and accessible, will attract more members and will also be the means of
inducing others to visit our room. Although our Constitution gives us the
whole of the Old Northwest for our primary field of action and the rest of
the United States for a secondary field, still we do not wish to be altogether
unknown in the community where our headquarters are located, and we
hope the people of the city of Columbus and the state of Ohio will soon |^t
to know of us, and will manifest their appreciation of the work we are domg
by cooperating with us and contributing of their means and influence.
Respectfully submitted, Lucius C. Hebbick, M.D., Z^brartan.
Rbport of the Committsk on Hkraldry.
To the Ogken and Members of The " Old Northwed " Genealogical Society:
Ladies and Gentlemen — ^The Committee on Heraldry desire to report that
a considerable increase in the number of persons interested in Heraldry is
manifest, and that as a result the demand for heraldic works in the several
libraries within the Society's territory is much greater than in former vears —
proportionately the interest is greater in our own Society than elsewhere.
lliroueh the efforts of a member of this Committee and others, an exhi-
bition of Heraldic Book-Plates, drawings and Coats of Arms was held in
Columbus, at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. William Kin^ Rogers, for two
weeks during December, and it is to be hoped that a similar exhibition of
these things, upon a lai^r scale, mav be made accessible to the general
public sometime in the early part of the year.

THOMAS WORTHINGTON.
By Frank Thbodore Cole, of Colambus, Ohio.
(Continued from April number.)
The act dividing the Northwest Territory was passed May 7,
1800,' and by its terms — thanks to the activity of Mr. Worth-
ington and others — Chillicothe was made the capital of the
Territory of Ohio. There the second session of the first Ter-
ritorial Legislature met on November 3, and Mr. Harrison's
successor was elected.
Mr. Worthington was one of the committee of three selected
to set forth the position of the Legislature on the controversy
with the Governor concerning the establishment of Counties
and County seats. The damage to Col. Massie's speculations
at Manchester, in Adams Co.. had begun the war of the " Vir-
ginia party" so called against the Governor ; the question of
forming a State began to be discussed,* and papers were circu-
lated protesting against the Governor's reappointment at the
expiration of his term in December. The Secretary of the
Territory favored the Chillicothe or Virginia party, and to fore-
stall any advantage to them the Governor dissolved the Legis-
lature, December 9.
Gov. St. Clair was renominated December 22, 1800,* but not
confirmed until February 3, 1801,* on account of the opposition
of the Chillicothe party. Senator S. T. Mason of Virginia
writes Mr. Worthington, giving him the news of the confirma-
tion, saying that the charges, though various and some of a
serious nature, were not supported by the memorialists. He
also says, ** Should your next House of Representatives be of
the character you expect, I should suppose they might petition
the new President for the removal of the Governor, with efifect,
and could send proof and documents to support the charges
against him."*

122 Thomas VVorthington. [Oct.
The second Territorial Legislature met November 26, 1801.
Mr. Worthington was on the Committee of Privileges and
Elections, and that on Levying a Territorial Land Tax. On
December 21 was introduced the act declaring the assent of
the Territory to an alteration in the ordinance. The object of
this was to make three Territories, with the Scioto as the west-
ern boundary of the eastern division. In a letter to Dudley
Woodbridge, December 24. 1801, Gov. St. Clair says:* ''The
jjjjj ♦ « « jg passed and goes to Mr. Fearing to be laid
before Congress. You cannot imagine the agitation it has cre-
ated among the people here ; and a petition to Congress against
the measure, formed by a committee of this town, praying
that Congress may not consent to it, is in circulation. Mr.
Worthington and Mr. Baldwin are appointed to go to Wash-
ington to advocate the petition in person." Committees were
also sent in favor of the Governor's position.
The introduction of a bill changing the capital from Chilli-
cothe to Cincinnati, and the fact that it would be passed by the
union of the Miami Valley Delegates with those from Wayne
Co. (Detroit), and Trumbull Co. (Cleveland, Warren), caused a
riot, in which an attempt to burn the Governor in ^^^y was
suppressed by ** the splendid exertion of Mr. Worthington."
The next evening the mob invaded the house where the Gov-
ernor boarded, and "after they were once dispersed one of the
most violent returned, and had not Mr. Worthington come in
about the same time mischief would have ensued."'
In the same letter the Governor says : ** Can you not convey
to him (President Jefferson) that I have but five enemies in
the Territory except some they have misled, and who probably
never saw me. These are VVorthington, Tiflfin, Massie, Darl-
ington and Baldwin."
Worthington and Baldwin proceeded to Washington, and on
January 30, 1802, Worthington laid before the President Col.
Massie's ten charges against the Governor, ** attacking his
official and administrative integrity,*'* together with an argu-
ment of his own in support of them. President Jefferson
finally dismissed the charges.
It soon appeared that Congress would not only take no action
in support of the Act of the Legislature in reference to the
boundaries, but that a little management would bring about an
Act enabling the formation of a State. The desire for -three
Republican votes in the Electoral College after the close elec-
tion of 1801 made the task comparatively easy, and in spite of
the efforts of Mr. Fearing, the Delegate and of the Feder-
alists, the Act was passed April 30, 1802.
" Congress, at the suggestion of Col. Worthington, had taken
care to direct the time of holding an election for Delegates ;
had arranged the Districts, and proportioned the number of

Delegates to each ; and had provided that the Constitution so
formed should not be submitted to the people for approval.
They had also cut off the Detroit District, which was strongly
Federal, and joined it to Indiana Territory/'*
Worthington returned home in May. In acknowledgment of
his services illuminations were made through the Scioto Valley
and salutes were fired about his house by his neighbors.
The convention met November 1, 1802, at Chillicothe. All
but two of the original opponents of the alteration of the
boundaries were members, while of those who had advocated
the measure but two or three were successful at the polls.^"
On November 4 the Governor addressed the convention, and
for his criticisms on Congress was removed by the President,
with unnecessary insult, November 22, 1802.
They performed this work in twenty-five days. Mr. Worth-
ington was a member of this convention and was " second to
none in influence.""
On the first day he was appointed chairman of the committee
of five on Privileges and Elections, and one of the committee
of three on Rules. On the second the Committee on Privileges
and Elections reported, and Edward Tiffin was elected Presi-
dent. On the third day leave was granted the Governor to
address the convention. Mr. Worthington was one of the
fifteen who voted ** No."
He was appointed one of the committee to prepare the pre-
pare the preamble and first article of the Constitution ; also of
that to prepare the second article, on Executive authority ; of
the tnird article, on Judiciary ; of the sixth, on Duties of
Sheriffs, Coroners, etc., and chairman of the Committee on the
Fifth Article — Organization of Militia ; later, on Committee to
. Prepare Article Comprehending General Regulations and Pro-
visions of the Constitution, and on one to consider the propo-
sitions made by Congress for the acceptance or rejection of the
work of the convention."
The proceedings and Constitution were approved by Congress
February 19, 1803, and Ohio became the seventeenth State.
In 1802 Col. Worthington moved from the town of Chilli-
cothe to his estate of Adena, where a house of hewe d logs,
filled between the timbers with stones and plaster, had been
erected, one and a half stories high. This house stood imme-
diately in front of the present mansion.^^ Here the three
eldest sons were born. The gardens, groves and orchards on
this estate excited the admiration of the distinguished visitors
who were here entertained. This house was superseded by the
mansion now standing, which was first occupied in 1807.
On March 1, 1803, the first Legislature met in Chillicothe,
and Wo rthington was elected one of the two Senators, he being

then four months less than thirty years of age. He drew the
short term, which ended March 4, 1807.
The first session of the Eighth Congress convened on Monday, October 17,
1803, on the proclamation of President Jefferson. Mr. Worthington was
present on the opening of the session, as he was at all of the succepsive ses-
sions, and on October 21* presented his first measure, a petition of Harrison
and others of Detroit to be set off from Indiana Territory. As chairman of
the committee to whom this petition was referred he brought in a bill
which in due time (December 6) passed the Senate.
On October 26 a petition from citizens of the Illinois country, to be set off
from Indiana Territory, was presented in the House of Representatives and
referred to a committee of Lucas, Morrow, Lyon and others. When the
Senat'^ bill came down it was referred to the same committee, and after
amendments, among others changing the name from the Northwest Terri-
tory to Michigan, the Senate bill was lost, yeas 58, nays 59. •
In December he brought in a bill for the determination of the North-
western boundary of the Virginia Military Lands, and to limit the period
for locating them. This became a law March 22, 1804.^ He voted for the
bill for the appropriation to carry ont the Louisiana Treaty ; for the amend-
ment concerning the election of President and Vice-Fresident ; for the
repeal of the Bankruptcy Law ; for the bill to remove the seat of govern-
ment from Washington; and for the impeachment of Judge John Pickering.*
The CuMBBRLANn Road.
On February 13, 1802, Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury, in writ-
ing to William B. Giles, Chairman of the Committee on admitting the
Northwest Territory to the Union, suggested that in return for the waiver
by the new State for ten years of the right of taxation of public land sold
by Congress, the United States agree to expend one- tenth of the net receipts
from Ruch, in building a road from the navigable waters emptying in to the
Atlantic, to the Ohio and through the new state. This suggestion with a
change to five years exemption from taxation and one-twentieth expenditure
was ^opted. •
November 28, 1803, on the call of Mr. Jackson of Virginia, the House of
Representatives resolved it*«elf into a Committee of the Whole to consider
the appropriation of five per cent, of the net proceeds of the sales of lands
in Oliio after June 30, 1802, to the laying out and making of Public Roads,
leading from the navigable waters of the Atlantic to the Ohio River. After
much discussion the committee reported, recommending the appropriation
of two per cent.*
The next day the House took up the report, amended and referred it, and
on January 10 Mr. Jackson introduced a bill which, after much discussion,
passed the House of Representatives February 15, 1804. It gave the Presi*
dent power to appoint a committee to explore a route for a road. In the
Senate the bill was referred to a committee consisting of Smith (O. ), Breck-
inridge (Ky.) and Franklin (Tenn.), and was in due time read, debated,
postponed and finally, on February 28, recommitted to a new committee of
Nichols (Va.), Worthington (0.) and Dayton (N. J.) It was reported,
amended and passed, March 27. The House of Representatives refused to
concur in the amendments and postponed the whole matter to the follow-
ing December.'
At the second session, December 4, 1805, the first thing on the day after
the reading of the President's Message, Mr. Worthin^n introduced a
resolution that a committee be appointed to e:^amine the Act which allowed
the people of the Eastern Division of the Northwest Territory to form a

State Government, and to report by bill or otherwise. On December 5
Meeers. Tracy (Ct.), Anderson (Tenn.), Worthington (O.). Adams (Mass.)
and Wright (Md.) were appointed a committee, and on December 28
reported that two per cent, of the proceeds of sale of land, etc., amounting
to $12,652, were available for use, and that by the time the money was
needed there would be about $20,000. They advised a route from Cumber-
land, Md., to Wheeling, crossing the Monongahela at Brownsville ( Redstone) .
They also presented a bill to regulate the laying out and making of the
road. The bill was passed by the Senate December 27.
In the House of Representatives, after much debate, on May 22 the
motion of Leib of Pennsylvania to postpone indefinitely was defeated, 51
to 69; that of Jackson of Virginia to postpone to June 30 was lost, 51 to 56 ;
that of Claibourne, to recommit, by 50 to 58, and the bill at third reading,
on May 24, passed by vote of 60 to 50.*
On March 26 the Senate agreed to the amendments and the bill became a
law.
It consisted of six sections, authorizing the President to appoint three
commissioners to lav out the road ; directing that the road be four rods
wide; directing the l^resident to secure assent of the States through which
the road passed ; directing how the road should be built, fixing the pay of
commissioners and employees and appropriating $30,000.*
On February 2, 1807, President Jcfforson reported to the Senate that he
had appointed Joseph Ker of Ohio, Eli Williams of Maryland and Thomas
Moore of Maryland, and giving progress of work, etc., etc. * ° This message,
with the reports, was referred to Messrs. Worthington, Tracey and Giles (Va.)
Mr. Worthington brought in a bill appropriating $250,000 for the road,
which was passed by the Senate Februarj; 26, but after being read twice in
the House of Representatives, was indefinitely postponed, March 30, 1807,**
and as Mr. Worthington went out of ofiice that day his connection with the
Cumberland Road appropriations ceased.
In this Ninth Congress Mr. Worthington voted for the Administration
measures, to suspend trade with St. Domingo, to ]Drohibit importation of
certain goods, and on the debate on British Aggression on American Ships
made a speech, the only one that 1 find reported during this term in the
Senate.
He brought in a bill for the relief of the Gallipolis Settlers, was chair-
man of the committee to whom was referred tiie bill for the division of
Indiana Territory ; also of a committee to examine and report what altera-
tions or amendments were necessary to the laws for the sale of public
lands; also of one to inquire into the expediency of altering the Act of
March 3, 1803, relatingto the lands allowed for the support of schools in
-the Virginia Military District in Ohio.**
On November 25, 1806, in writing to President Jefferson, Gallatin said :
** Whatever relates to land cannot be too closely watched. Worthington is
the only one in the Senate, since Breckenridgo left, who understands the
subject. He has been perfectly faithful in that respect, trying to relieve as
much as possible the purchasers generally from being hard pressed for pav-
ment."*«
The great question of Canal Navigation was now to the front and the elab-
orate schemes of a system along the eastern coast to avoid the dangers of
the coasting trade was under discussion. The Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal was planned and aid askt'd from Congress. About the same time the
bill for a canal around the Falls of the Ohio at Louisville was introduced
Mr. Worthington, on Febiuary 25, submitted a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of the Treasury for a report on the coht, plans, etc., of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal and on the 26th one for a report to the Senate at
their next session as to the practicability and probable expense of a turn-

southwest, together with his opinion of route, plans for application of such
aid as Government might give, etc. On the 27th, Mr. Clay's bill for the
appointment of three commissioners to investigate the route of the canal at
the Falls of the Ohio passed the v^enate.
On the next day, Feoruary 28, Mr. Worthington withdrew his resolutions
of the 25th and 26th and offered the following, which was adopted by a vote
22 to 3 on March 3, the last day of his term :
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to prepare and
report lo the Senate at their next session a plan for the application of such
means as are within the power of Congress, to the purpose of opening roads
and making canals ; together with a statement of the undertakings of that
nature which, as objects of public improvement, may require and demand
the aid of (Tovernment ; also a statement of the works of the nature men-
tioned which have been commenced, the progress which has been made in
them, and the means and prospect of their being completed, and all such
information, as in the opinion of the Secretary, nhall be material, in relation
to the objects of this resolution.'*
He was succeeded in the Senate by his brother-in-law, Gov.
Tiffin.
Mr. Worthington was a man devoted to his family and devoted
to his State. His correspondence with his wife shows clearly
how much the enforced absence caused by public service grieved
him and at the same time shows how thoroughly he considered
that public service a matter of duty. '* Although deeply sen-
sible of the privations entailed upon himself and those most
dear to his heart by these unceasing sacrifices for the public
good, and often resolved to withdraw himself within the domes-
tic circle, he was unable, to the last, to overcome his instinctive
aspirations for the State he loved so well, and was seldom long
absent from her service."^* His service cost him much in a
money point of view and it was only by the careful and efficient
management of Mrs. Worthington that his neglected business
was kept in hand.
The burdens of the management of the large property, and
the exercise of a most generous hospitality, to foreign gentle-
men on their travels. Congressmen from the South and West,
army officers passing through Ohio, State polititians, Indian
chieftains, and personal friends, together with constant demands
on his and her benevolence, made her position, in her husband's
absence, a very arduous one. Her success as hostess and man-
ager prove her ability, and to her is due no small part of the
results of her husband's career.
The four years from 1807 to 1811 were spent in the building
of and settling in his mansion of Adena and in the care of his
affairs.
On December 3, 1810, Return J. Meigs. Jr., resigned as Sen-
ator to become Governor and on the 10th Mr. Worthington was
elected, on the sixth ballot, by a vote of 35 to 31 for ex-Gov.

DESCENDANTS OF CAPT. WILLIAM FOWLER.
By DANiKL W. Fowler.
CommuDieated by Charles Arthur Ridgway,
Life member of The *' Old Northwest" Genealogical Society.
For the purpoae of bringing more clearly to view the reasons and canseB
which indncea the emigrant ancestor, William Fowler, to come to America,
together with the part he doubtless took, in connection with others of his
contemporaries, in founding, and subsequently in forming the policy of the
New Haven Colony, I introduce the following from Dwight s History of
Connecticut, Chaps. 8 and 9, as being the most concise and at the same time
thorough statement of any with which I am familiar :
**Mr. Davenport, Samuel Eaton, Theophilus Eaton, Esq., Edward Hop-
kins, Esq., Mr. Thomas Gregson, and a considerable number of persona
besides, who had left England to escape persecution, and to take up their
abode in America, arrived in Boston from London, England, in the month
of June, 1637. (Two large ships arrived at this time, one named the Planter,
but we are not informed if the comi)any came on one or both.)
Mr. Davenport had been distingniehed in England as a minister of great
learning and piety. Messrs. Eaton and Hopkins had been successful mer-
chants m London, and the former had resided at the Court of Denmark as
agent of the King of England.
Great exertions were made in Massachusetts to induce this wealthy com-
pany to remain in that colony. The people proposed to relinquish to them
their whole town, and the General Court to give them any place which they
might select; but they ^preferred to penetrate farther into the interior of
the country. ♦ ♦ • ♦ That highly respectable company appeared
to have had several reasons for not remaining in Massachusetts. Mr.
Davenport held the opinion that no reformation in the Church had ever
been carried farther than where it was left by those who introduced it;
and he probably thought that the system adopted in the new colonies was
defective in some points not likely to be improved. He was a decided
opponent of Antinomian doctrines, which at that time had progressed in
Boston. Besides, he and his associates were apprehensive that the King
would soon send out a Governor-General of New England, to whose author-
ity they did not wish to be subject.
Fully resolved on making a new settlement at a distance from the
others, in the autumn of 1687, Mr. Davenport, with several of his friends,
visited the shores of Long Island Sound, with the commercial and other
advantages of which they were much pleased. They selected the place
called Quinnipiac by tlie Indians, and by the Dutch, Rocabert ; and having
built a hut there, a few of their number spent the winter in it. This was
the first habitation known to have been erected there, and, indeed, on any
part of the Connecticut coast west of Saybrook Fort. The settlement of
New Haven, however, did not really begin until the following year. On
the 30th of March, 1638, Messrs. Davenport, Pruden, Theophilus Eaton,
and Samuel Eaton, sailed from Boston with their companions. They
reached Quinnipiac in about two weeks. On the 15th of April they
spent their first Sabbath there and in a truly Christian manner, viz.: in
the worship of God, and in the strict observance of His holy day. The
people assembled in the shade of a large oak tree, at the place where
George Street now crosses College Street; and Mr. Davenport preached
an appropriate sermon from tne 6th Chapter of Matthew, 1st verse:
Take need that ye do not your alma before men, to be seen of them,
otherwise ye have no rewwtl of your Father which is in heaven.

Shortly afterward, a day of fasting and praver was observed; and at
the close of it they formed what they called the " Plantation Covenant."
in which they solemnly bound themselves **that, as in matters that con-
cern the gathering ana ordering of a Church, so also, in all public offices
that concern civil order, as choice of magistrates and officers, making
and repealing laws, dividing allotments of inheritance and all things o!
like nature, they would, all of them, be ordered by the rules which the
Scriptures held forth for them." This was intended to be their rule until
they should form a more intimate mutual acquaintance, and then they
designed to covenant together as Christians.
The first Constitution of Connecticut was formed in Hartford, after
mature deliberation at a meeting of the free planters of all the towns,
who assembled on the 14th of January, 1()39. The preamble states, in
substance, that they formed one public Stiite or Commonwealth for the
establishment of order and government, and that they confederated, for
themselves and their successors, to maintain the liberty and purity of the
Gospel, and the discipline of the Churches, according to its institutions.
♦ * * » It declared all to be freemen who had been received
as members of towns, and taken the oath of fidelity to the Common-
wealth. The Governor was required to be a member of a regular Church
and to have been a magistrate; and he could not be elected more than
once in two years, 'fi) be a candidate for a magistrate, a man was
required to be a freeman, and to be nominated by the freemen or the
General Court. ♦ * * ♦ "These pure and sincere men, the
founders of Connecticut, denied the divine rieht of Kings, and had been
led by their observations, experience, and renexions in England, to the
conclusion that man is too frail in judgment and virtue to be safely
trusted with the uncontrolled government of others."
1. Capt. William' Fowler, the son of William' Fowler, the
" magistrate," did not participate with his father in the
settlement of Milford, but remained at New Haven, where
he took the oath of fidelity, 1644, and was admitted to the
General Court, 1645. He was a land holder at New Haven,
where he was living in 1655. East Haven, *' Fowler's Cove,"
and •• Fowler's Creek," now so called, were named from
him. About two miles from New Haven, now the village
of Whitneyville, and on the site of the establishment for
the manufacture of fire-arms, erected by Eli Whitney, the
the inventor of the cotton gin. Mr. Fowler built a mill, 1645,
which the town bought of him, 3d of January, 1659, for one
hundred pounds. He was chosen successively, ''Sergeant,"^
•• Lieutenant," and " Captain," of the "Town Company,"
and is mentioned in the Colonial Records of Hartford and
New Haven, as one to raise troops as a defence against a
threatened incursion of the Dutch.
He first m., as early as 1645, Mary, dau. of Edward and
Ann Tapp, sister of Jane Tapp, wife of Governor Treat, by
whom were born to him all his children. He m. 2d, Nov.
1st, 1670, at Milford, widow Elizabeth (Alsop) Baldwin.
She was living at the date of his death, and as we learn
from his will, was a " tender, dutiful and loving wife," and
he desired that she might continue to " live with his child-
ren, to be a guide and help to them as a mothet, and head
of a family." He removed and settled at Milford, about

Five generations have lived on the spot, and it is now the

six children.
Gurdon Fowler emigrated to Pennsylvania, to what is
now Monroe Township, Bradford County, in September,
1800. He and his sons Jonathan and Rogers bought lands
under Connecticut titles, which afterwards proved worth-
less, as the lands were claimed by Pennsylvania, together
with all the improvements, consisting (besides others) of
a saw and grist mill. Nothing daunted by such adverse
fortune, they again purchased lands, on long credit, of the
" Holland Purchase Company," and this time were more
fortunate ; but it required the most stubborn energy and
perseverance to bring forth the fruits of husbandry from a
wild and densely wooded region, like that of Northern
Pennsylvania,
After nine years of struggle and privation, incident to
the settlement of a new country, "the father, Gurdon
Fowler, was called to his eternal rest, — freed from hard-
ship and toil." He d. 11th November, 1809. Children,

writer of this memoir came to Chautauqua Co.. N. Y., with
his mother in 1814, where he remained until 1832, when he
determined to remove and settle in the then " Far West."
He came by water to Detroit, and from thence by land to
St. Joseph, where he took passage in a schooner for Chicago,
reaching there in the month of June, of that year. A week
or so after he arrived. Gen. Scott and his troops came in the
steamboat Sheldon Thompson, from BufiFalo, bringing the
Asiatic Cholera with them, a scourge until that time unknown
in this part of the world. The greatest panic prevailed among
the citizens of the place, every one leaving that could get
away, and he again took passage on the same schooner that
had brought him to Chicago, for St. Joseph ; but not being
allowed to land there, they proceeded to Mackinac, where
they were again refused permission to land, and only after
much solicitation could they obtain provisions (which were
finally handed to them on the end of a long pole) to enable
them to proceed on their voyage to Detroit.
Mr. Fowler again came to Chicago in the spring of 1833,
and engaged in speculations in real estate, from which he
realized a small sum of money, with which he proceeded
to Buffalo, and purchasing a stock of Indian goods, he re-
turned in September, in season to attend the great Indian
payment of that year. That being over, he concluded to
try his fortunes elsewhere, and emigrated to Milwaukee,
reaching that place on the 18th November, 1833, finding
there Solomon Juneau, its founder, and the only white man
residing there at the time of his arrival. He went into Mr.
Juneau's employ, and was engaged in trading with the
Indians for some time afterwards. He acquired their
language, and was known among them as Mis-kee-o-qud-nen,

Peace, and first Register ot Deeds in Milwaukee ; was a
member of the Convention which formed the present Con-

1867, and where he still continues to live^ much respected

home (having been discharged from the army for disability),
after lingering and painful illness. His brother died two
days after, in hospital, at Gallatin, Tenn. Their demise over-

148 Descendants of Capt William Fowler. [Oct.
41. Col. Rogers* Fowler {Russell* Gurdan^ Jonathan^^ yona-
than,* William^), b. 16th May. 1812, on the same day, and in
the same house from which his uncle, Rogers,* was buried.
The co-incidence gave him his name. He engaged in busi-
ness on his own account at an early age, and being possessed
of rare business qualifications, and immense energy, soon
achieved success. He was engaged in merchandising and
lumbering in Bradford Co., for many years, but meeting
with reverses, he concluded to go West. In 1854-55 he
organized the New York Lumber Company, and, purchas-
ing a large amount of pine lands in the vicinity of the
Menomonee River, of Green Bay, he built near the mouth
of it, where stands the present flourishing village of Mene-
kaunee, a mill weich had a capacity for cutting 150,000 feet
of lumber every twenty-four hours.
He soon after opened one of the then largest lumber
yards in Chicago. The financial revulsion of 1857 coming
on soon afterwards, affected the enterprise disastrously, and
he sold out his interest in 1858. Having taken up his resi-
dence in Chicago in 1854-56, he became one of its most
enterprising citizens, and at the breaking out of the war of
the rebellion, was appointed by Gov. Yates, Commissary
General of the State of Illinois, and was instrumental in
bringing troops to the defence of Cairo in season to antici-
pate, and thereby preKrent, its intended capture by the rebel
forces. He was afterwards commissioned a Colonel by Sec-
retary Cameron, of the War Department, at Washington,
and sent West to look after certain interests of the Gov-
ernment in that direction.
In 1865 he went to Texas, and, with others, purchased the
franchises of the Memphis and El Paso R. R., and has since
labored to effect its completion, with fair prospects of suc-
cess. The enterprise is one of the grandest in conception
of any in the United States ; is one of the connecting links
of the Great Southern Pacific R. R., which is already com-
menced and will eventually be completed.
Mr. Fowler is six feet three inches in height, of noble
bearing, and fine personal address ; of most genial and pleas-
ant manners ; has hosts of warm personal friends ; and still
possesses, at the age of 58, the fire and energy of his most
vigorous manhood. Unfortunately, his health has become
somewhat impaired, from great exposures, which restrict
his opportunities. Mr. Fowler m. 19th September, 1888,

NOTES AND QUERIES.
NOTRS.
AvsRT.— We are sorry to note that Hon. Elroy M. Avery, who has been
enff&ged for several years upon a revision of Sweet's *' Groton Averys," seems
to he very much disoouraffi^d by the small number of subscriptions for the
work. He had determinecTthat unless two hundred additional subscriptions
were received in June and July, he would, on the first of August abandon
the effort and return the money already advanced. It would be a great pity
indeed to allow so valuable a work to go by default, and it will, probably, be
many years before an]^ one so capable of doing the work will undertake to
earrv it on to completion and publish it. We also re^t to note that the
publication of Avery Notei and Queries ended with the issue for May, 1902.
Ck)LLAMEB, CoLLAMORs — For a number of vears past, some members of
this family have been gathering genealogical data relating to the Collamores
and CoUamers, at home and abroad. The compilers have worked independ-
ently, and have accumulated data which has never been merged into a whole
nor published. Interest in the matter has of late become more widespread,
and has finally crystallized into the suggestion that that the family organize
an association, liKe many others of the same character. All the above
material can be made clear, and other interesting facte disseminated and dis-
cussed by such an association as is proposed, and through the literature it
will issue. All who are eligible by descent from or marriage with this family
are invited to enroll their names at once in the projected CoUamore Union.
For prospectus and particulars, address the secretary, Newton L. CoUiumer,
1006 F Street, Washington, D. C.
Sands.— We regret to note the death of Miss 0. Louise Sands, of Meriden,
Conn., who died June 15, 1902, at the house of her brother in that city. She
took great interest in genealogy, and devoted much of her time to genealog-
ical investigations. She contributed, within the past two years, to our

of each book, with the amount to be added for postage, or charges, by mail or express.]
A Genealogical History of the DurUevy Family Don Levi, Donlevy, Dvnleavy,
Durdaveyt Durdevey, Etc, Bjr Gwendolyn Dunlevy Kelley Columbus, Ohio
1901 Issued for Private Distribution 8vo, cloth, pp. 336-h pages for Ad-
ditional Records and Index, none of which are paged. Illustrated.
This book is divided into three ijarts, and commences with extracts from
old historical works giving the origin of the name and family, from the year
900, when a Dunlevy appears as King of Ulidia in the north of Ireland. A
^ood map of the north of Ireland shows the family to have been represented
m no less than four different localities, and their respective heads occupying
more or less prominent positions. In th e second part, the history of different
branches of the family is taken up, with a chart pedigree of each, so far as
the writer of the work was able to learn of them. The last part of the book
gives the line of descent from Anthony (or Antoine) Dunlevy (I) of Ireland,
and his son Anthony (II) Dunlevy, who emigrated to America about 1736.
The book contains a goodly amount of material, which could have been elab-
orated and arranged so as to have made a most useful history of this impor-
tant family, and it is to be hoped that sometime in the future some interested
member will take the matter in hand and produce a more comprehensive

Dumont Family Notes. Comprising Genealogical Data Derived from Various
Sources. Compiled by Eugene F. McPike, Chicago, 111. 4to, paper, pp. 5.
Price, 60 cts.
These notes are of interest to the Dumonta of America, as they undoubt-
edly contain more information concerning the origin of the family and the
evolution of the name than many of them would otherwise obtain. They
are the product of much careful research, and are put together in inexpen-
sive and legible form, and the comjjiler merits the thanks and patronage of
those of the name and family. This would afford valuable material for a
more extended history of the Dumont family.
Record of Uie Descendants of Vincent Meigs, who came from Dorsetshire, England,
to America about 16S5. * * * ♦ By Henry B. Meigs. Copyrighted 1901.
Published by John 8. Bridges & Co., Baltimore, Md. 4to, cloth, pp. 374.
Price, cloth, $6.00; leather, $8.00, postage, 35 cts.
The only one bearing the name Meigs of the first generation was Vincent
Meigs, who, with his sons Vincent, John and Mark were first recorded in
this country as at Weymouth, Mass., in 1639. From there they went, in
1642, to Rehoboth, Mass., and about 1644, to New Haven, Conn. The first
son, Vincent, left no heirs. John, the second son, settled in Guilford, Conn.,
and from him have descended all bearing the name of Meigs in America.
Ten generations are represented. The family is not very numerous, but a
goodly number have filled honorable positions. In the Old Northwest, the
name of Return Jonathan Meigs is well known ; he having filled important
offices in the early history of the Territory and the State of Ohio, having
been the second Governor of the State. He was also Postmaster-Qeneral ;
TJ. 8. Senator ; Judge of Supreme Court, etc. We find the family rejjre-
sented in Philadelphia, Penn., by a very noted physician, Charles D. Meigs,
whose son Montgomery C. was Quartermaster-General U. 8. Army during
the Civil war ; another son continued to represent the medical profession in
Philadelphia, and at the present time the place is filled by a grandson. Arms
were borne by several families of the name of Meigs, or Meggs, in England,

and some of the descendants of Vincent^ have turned their attention to the
subject. Cuts of the Arms of Enghsh families are in the book, and are fully
described in the appendix. Bion'aphical sketches, instead of ai)pearing witn
the family record, are all placed in the appendix— a plan which seems to
have the advantage of affording more space than could well be spared in the
body of the work. The book is profusely illustrated, most of the illustra-
tions being of high class. The index is complete in all parts, and, taken all
in all, it is a most admirable work, and one which is a credit to the family,
as well as to the compiler. The printing and binding are elegant and the
paper is good, thus making the book durable and substantial. As the Meigs
family has many prominent members, and is quite ¥ndely dispersed over our
country, this booK should find a place in many public libraries.
Meigi Chart of American Ancestry. 17 x 28 in. Price, $1.00. *
This chart makes a very graphic display of the descent of the Meigs family
in America, and is thus a most valuable accompaniment to the genealogy.
It contains nistorical references to various names, with valuable notes giving
references to works consulted.
A Genealogy of the Viets Family with Biographical Sketches Dr. John Viets of
Simbmryy Omnecticut 1710 and His Descendants Written and Compiled By
Francis Hubbard Viets Hartford Press : The Case, Lockwood & Brainard
Company 1902 8vo, cloth, pp. 228. Price, |3.00.
This book commences with a short article on the origin and spelling of the
name VietSj which is of considerable interest and shows extensive research.
The progenitor of the American family was Dr. John Viets, or Viett, a youne
physician, probably from Germany, who arrived a few years before 1700 and
settled in New York, where he married Catharine Myers, and in 1710 re-
moved with his family to Simsburv, Conn. The progeny of Dr. John and
Catharine Viets traced in this book are all descended from three of their
four children, as nothing could be learned of the fifth, Mary or Mercy, who
married a Goff. A number of families of the name are given in the appendix
who were probably descended from the same ancestors, but the compiler
was unable to fully prove their descent. There are also others of the name
who came recently from Germany, or whose parents or grandparents came
thence. There are biographical sketches of prominent members of the fam-
ily, of greater or less extent, which add greatly to the interest of the work.
The book is arranged upon a modification of the Register plan, is very nicely
printed upon a good quality of paper, and is tastefully bound. It is illus-
trated witn a goodly number of portraits, views of residences, etc., all of a
high grade of half-tones, and it has a complete index of Viets and one of other
names. We notice that many whose names appear are now domiciled in
the Old Northwest ; so there should be many persons within the region who
ought to possess the book, and it should also find a place in many prominent
public libraries of the section.

the third and fourth, and the Potters to the second, with list of births, 1661-
1752 ; marriages, 1650-1750 ; deaths, 1662-1706. The Whitehead pamphlet
contains, principally, extracts from records relating to John Whitehead, and
gives the names of his children.

Albemarle County in Virginia Giving tome accatmt of what it was by nature, of
whai it was made by man^ and of some of the men who made it. By Rev. Edgar
Woods * * * [Copyright 1901. The Michie Companv, Printers,
Charlottesville, Va., 1901. 8ov, cloth, pp. iv+412. Price, $2.00, postpaid.
Albemarle county waa formed from other counties in Virginia about
1745, having been taken from Gouchland county, and various additions and
changes were made in its boundary from time to time down to the year
1889. The first patents to land withm the present borders of the county
were taken out m 1727, the grants continumg to be issued in small num-
bers during the succeeding ten years. After that time the settlement of the
county waa more rapid, and among the early settlers we find families that
became noted in the history of our country, such as the Clarks, of whom
was Gen. George Rogers Clark, and the Jefierson family of whom was
Thomas, well known to fame on many accounts. Most of the early records
of the the county were preserved, and are made use of in this book, but an
unfortunate gap occurs from 1748 to 1783, a period of thirty-five years,
which was caused by the ravages of the British troops near the close of the
Revolutionary war. Other interruptions also occurred, since that time, as
those from 1785 to 1791, and those for the years 1805 and 1827. Some facts
regarding the Revolutionary history of the county were derived from other
sources, for the book gives a list of oflScers and enlisted men who served in
that war — a very valuable record, for the descendants of some of those men
are now to be found in the Old Northwest, and many other parts of the
country at the present time. Lists of county officers are given from 1745
down to the present time, also of emigrants from that county to other
states, and we find that Ohio, Indiana and Illinois received a goodly num-
ber. There is a complete history of the different religious denominations
in the county ; also tne celebrated university at Charlottesville is well set
forth, and many historical events. The most important part of the book
to the genealogist is found in pages 137-361 inclusive, which contain histo-
ries of families. Although this is a small book for a county history, and it
contains no pictures of any kind, like the generality of county histories
which have oeen constructed of late, yet we consider it one of the most val-
uable books of the kind we have seen. Many persons in the Old Northwest
would be greatly interested in it. if they knew of its existence, and would
desire to procure it, and the book should find a place in many public libra-
ries throughout the above named section of our country.

This book is a new edition of a work which was published sixty-six years
*-:o, and has been long out of print. The original title-page, a reproduction of
"The Highlanders of

Scotland, their Origin, History and Antiquities ; with a sketch of their
Manners and Customs, and an Account of the Clans into which they were
Divided, and the State of Society which Existed among them. By William
F. Skene, F. S. A. Scot. In two volumes. London : John Murray, Albe-
marle Street. MDCCCXXXVL" The editer of this edition. Dr. Macbain,
adds a Preface and a Life of Dr. Skene. The contents of the first edition
have been reprinted without change, and the editor has added an Excur-
sus and Notes at the end of the book amounting to forty- two pages. This
book is, without doubt, the highest and most reliable authority on the ori-
gin of the Highlanders of Scotland and of clans into which they were divid-
ed, and it will enliehten the student who wishes to become acc^uainted with
the subject probably more than any other book, of its size, which has been
published. There are now in America many representatives of the High-
land dans who would be greatly interested in reading of their ancestors,
and this book will ^ve them more information upon this subject than any
other of the same size. The publisher has brought out the book in fine style.

This little book, as its title indicates, will be of great use to the American
genealogist who desires to trace his pedigree back in England. It indicates
the source oj information, and also tells that such information can be sup-
plied by Mr. Mathews. It is ver^ well to know the addresses of reliable
persons who will make the requisite searches, and procure such informa-
tion as may be of use, and do it at a reasonable price.

The preceding: books of this series have received notice in previous issues
of The Quarterly, so it will not be necessary to review the present book,
the fifth of the series, at great length. The value of the whole series haa
been established, and the books are very frequently consulted now by
genealogists to establish the date of marriages which took place in Connec-
ticut before 1800, which they had been previously unable to obtain. It
is greatly to be regretted that so many of the records have been lost, by
burning and otherwise, some of them many years ago ; but these books
show what ones have been lost, which will show to the genealogist the use-
lessness, in most cases, of making further search. Libraries and indiviuals
having the former books of this series should by all means procure this one.
The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts, With some Related

dence, R. I. 1902. 8vo, paper, pp. 415-492; 493-572. Price, $1.00 per
part.
The first volume of this valuable book was reviewed at some length in
Thb Quarterly of Januarv, 1900, and the numbers were briefly noticed
from time to time previously, as received. We are now glad to notice the
resumption of this publication, and the reception of the first two numbers
of Volume II of Mr. Hoyt's ** Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury,
Massachusetts.'* These portions of Volume II are mostly devoted to the
18th century records of Salisbury and Amesbury churches which are now
in private hands, inaccessible to the public, and liable to be lost. They
also contain records of baptisms, marriages and deaths. The first volume
contained records of families for three or four generations, down to the year
1700, and this volume will cover the period from 1700 to 1800, and includes
that portion of the century which is usually found most difficult in tracing
one's ancestry. All libranes, public or private, making a specialty of gene-
alogy that have not already secured Vol. I of this valuable work should
immediately do so, and at the same time should enter their subscription for
Volume II.

(of various books), What is Believed, Family History from the Public
Records, Family History from Private M8S., A familv of Soldiers, A Gene-
alogist's Kalendar, Editorial Notes. These are mostly treated in an elabo-
rate and exhaustive manner by persons well qualified to write upon the
Bubiects, and everything set fortn is substantiated by reference to the best
autnority; so it may be received and accepted with confidence. Much
light is thrown upon the early history of families now represented in Amer-
ica, and this work gives the promise, in its future issues, of much more
valuable information to Americans in this line, which will render it a sine
qua non to fl;enealogiets in this country. Probably time will develop the
necessity of a department of Notes and Queries, which will add greatly to
the value of the review, and other features will also, no doubt, evolve as
occasion for them may present. Each issue is a book in itself, bound in
such a manner that it can be handled with much more comfort and satis-
faction than the ordinary pamphlet. The printing, paper, and general
make-up are all first-class, leaving nothing, in those matters, to be desired.
It must inevitably find a place in every public library in this country that
pays any attention to family history and genealog}'. (Jrders in America can

A National Register of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Com-
piled and Published under the Auspices of the National Publication
Committee By Louis H. Cornish Register List Ck>llated and E<lited by
A. Howard CHark Registrar-General National Society, Washington, D. (5.
L 8vo, buckram, pp. 1035. Price, $3.00.
This book contains an outline of the history of the National Society, and
short historical sketches of the various State organizations, together with
the Constitution of the National Society, and lists of National Oflicers from
the beginning. It also gives full directions for joining, and where to look
for evidence of Revolutionary service. The much larger portion of the book,
however, is filled up with the names, lineages and military service of the
ancestors of the more than fourteen thousand members of the Society,
which makes a vast amount of valuable genealogical material. The State
and other branches of the Society are arranged alphabetically, and the
names of members are also similarly arranged in their respective divisions,
so it is quite easy to find any member of a state society ; but the vast
amount of genealogical matter is accessible only by most patient and persis-
tent search, for there is no index at all in the book. The Daughters of the
American Revolution had previously published most excellent examples of
how such a book ought to be constructed, and we are very sorry to see that
our brothers of the sterner (?) sex have not followed their example in the
construction of this book. There should have been two indexes, one of
members and one of Revolutionary ancestors and other names — the former
being designated by italics. A subject-index would also add materially to
the value of the book as a work of reference. We hope if the book should
be revised in a few years, and another edition should be printed, that the
above named omissions will be supplied. The book con tarns many histor-
ical illustrations and portraits of ofiacers, both National and State, and some
portraits of members, all of which add greatly to the beauty of the book.
The mechanical execution of the book is faultless, the paper, though not of
the best quality, is probably fully as good as the subscription price (previ-
ous to publication) warranted the publisher in using; but we think a
majority of the subscribers would have been better satisfied with a finer
grade of material at a higher price. This book has, through the generosity
of members, been placed in all the public libraries of several states, and
many more libraries in less fortunate states should by some means possess
themselves of the work, for it is a vast storehouse of informatfon wnich is
sought constantly by a great number of people.

THOMAS WORTHINGTON.
By Frank Theodore Cole, of CJolumbus, Ohio.
(Continued from Vol. V., page 126.)
Mr. Worthington's second term covered the Third Session of
the Eleventh, the two sessions of the Twelfth, two. and a part
of the Third Session of the Thirteenth Congress. He appeared
and took the oath January 8, 1811, and his resignation was read
December 14, 1814.'
During these four years he was unquestionably the authority
in the Senate on all questions concerning the Public Domain,
being always on the Committee on Public Lands, and most of
the time its chairman.*
He introduced the bill for the establishment of the General
Land Office, which passed the Senate February 27, and became
a law April 24, 1812,* under which law Edward Tiffin was
appointed Commissioner.
He was always watchful of the interests of the Cumberland
Road,^ obtaining in the Eleventh Congress, an appropriation of
$30,000, to finish the first section.
He was also on the Committee on Manufactures, and chair-
man of that on Indian Affiairs.'^
Having always supported the measures of the Democratic
party until the question of the declaration of war came before
Congress in 1812, he opposed this policy, on the ground of the
unprepared condition of the country, and voted against the
bill, and against his party.
The following, from a letter to his wife under date of June 7,
1812, shows his mind :
"The measure alluded to in my last (the declaration of i war) has been
decided. I have done my duty and satisfied my conscience. Thousands of
the innocent will sufler, but I have bom my testimony against it, and I

thank God, my mind is tranquil. What comfort there is in having done
ones duty conscienciouely ! I care not for popularity and I only desire to
know that I have acted for the best Now that the step is taken I am bound
to submit to the will of the majority and use my best exertions to save my
country from ruin.*"
This latter determination he carried out and as long as he was
in the Senate, he voted with the war party for all of their rev-
enue, military, and economic measures.'
He paid the penalty for his independence. When the Second
Session met, November 2, 1812, while he was not ignored alto-
gether, he was the last of seven chosen on the Committee on
Foreign Relations and Military Affairs ; the third of five on the
Militia, and the chairmanship of the Public Land Commiitee
was given to Mr. Magruder, from the new state of Louisiana.'
In the Thirteenth Congress, which met May 24, 1813, his
unpopularity was more plainly shown. Jeremiah Morrow, the
new Senator from Ohio, was placed at the head of the Public
Lands Committee with Mr. Worthington as the second member
and Mr. Tait, a new Senator from Tennessee, as the other
member.* Although he was one of the few old leaders left, he
was placed on no other committee.
His daughter, in the Private Memoir, says that in the early
part of this year, in April, during the siege of Fort Meigs, when
all Ohio trembled for fear that its fall would bring the savages
upon them, he. with his friend Maj. William Oliver and a friendly
Indian, disguised as Indians, and guided by a friendly Indian,
took a message to the fort, promising supplies of provisions,
and that they lurked about till these assurances were thrown
into the fort, in a letter wrapped around an arrow.*
His letters to his wife all express his mortification at the mis-
conduct of the war.* The disasters and misfortunes of this
summer, so clearly the result of the unreadiness for war so
proved the wisdom of his objections and of his position that
he regained the popularity he had lost, and when Congress met
again, December 6, 1813, in its Second Session, he stept to his
place in the front rank as leader, being chosen chairman of the
most important committee, that on Military Affairs.' The Bills
from that committee show how active in legislation he was.*
At the Third Session, which met September 19. 1814, he was
chosen chairman of the Militia Committee, and on November
8 introduced a bill for a Uniform System of Militia. Nothing
was done with it, as he soon after left the Senate.'
During these sessions he was invariably present at the open-
ing of the session, and his name appears as answering most of

the calls for ayes and nays. He made but one short speech in
favor of a recess of six weeks, in 1812, before the war was
declared.* He was emphatically a working member.
It is of interest to notice that he voted for the extension of
Robert Fulton's patents ;' for the annuity to Gen. St. Clair ;'
for the Bill to choose Presidential Electors by Districts,* and
he supported President Madison in the nomination of Albert
Gallatin for Peace Commissioner.
He voted against the publication of the Henry Letters,* and
against the licensing of two lotteries in Georgetown.' He re-
ported favorably the bill for a canal around Mason's Island in
the Potomac River, just as in his first term, he had favored the
early canal projects.^
On December 20, 1813, he introduced a bill for the establish-
ment of an additional Military Academy, at or near Pittsburg,
but this bill was defeated for final passage by a vote of 16 to 17
April 14, 1814.*
In the Thirteenth Congress appeared Rufus King, as a Fed-
eralist Senator from New York. Mr. Worthington soon formed
with him a deep and lasting friendship. How deep is shown by
his daughter's quotation of Mr. King's words during his last
illness, in 1826 : " My child, I wish to send a message through
you to your father ; tell him that I esteem and love him none
the less ; that I can never forget the noble sacrifices of his
patriotism. No other man could have done what he has done
for Ohio ; no other ten men would have made the personal
sacrifices that he has made for the state."*
Edward King, one of his sons, a young lawyer of twenty-one,
came to Ohio in Oct., 1815, and of course to Mr. Worthington's
home in Chillicothe, and there married May 15, 1816, the second
daughter of the house, Sarah Ann, then sixteen years of age.
He practiced law in Chillicothe and then in Cincinnati ; was
private secretary to Gov. Worthington in 1817-18 and in the
General Assembly from Ross county*' (House, 1823, 1825-28 ;
Senate, 1830). He received 21 votes for U. S. Senator in 1830,"
and died at the early age of forty, February 6, 1836.
The Thirteenth General Assembly of Ohio met in Chillicothe
on Monday, December 5, 1814, and on the following day, in
joint session, they opened and counted the vote for Governor.
There were then thirty-eight counties in Ohio, and it appears
that Thomas Worthington had carried twenty-nine with a total
vote of 15,879, while Othniel Looker of Hamilton had carried
nine with a vote of 6,171. There were some remarkable figures.
Worthington carried Jefferson county, 1532 to 6 ; Licking
county, 553 to 5 ; Athens county, 319 to 7 ; Coshocton county,
248 to 1, and in Washington, Knox and Tuscarawas counties
there were no votes against him.

A joint committee was appointed later in the day to wait
upon him and announce his election and ascertain when it will
be convenient for him to take the oath of office.
On the next day he sent in his resignation as Senator. The
committee appointed for the purpose reported that they had
waited upon Mr. Worthington, informed him of his election and
that he would take the oath of office the following day at
eleven o'clock.*
On December 8, the two houses met in the Representatives
chamber, Mr. Worthington was duly installed into the office of
Governor and delivered an address, in which he set forth his
own motives ; called attention to the failure of the peace nego-
tiations at Ghent, and the need for united support of the Gov-
ernment ; deprecated the evils of party spirit in its extreme
form, saying : ** If party division had not deeply affected the
energies of the nation can any one believe * * * that with a
proper management of its affairs, three campaigns would have
passed by with so little effct on the enemy." He called atten-
tion to the responsibility that lay upon officials and exhorted
all to be of good courage.*
On December 14, he sent to the Legislature a confidential
message, enclosing a letter of the 13th from Gen. Duncan Mc-
Arthur (then in Chillicothe) commanding the Eighth Military
District, setting forth the great lack of rations, especially of
breadstuffs, at Detroit and the other northern posts, and inti-
mating that the troops might have to abandon the posts before
spring. The General urged an appropriation of §30,000 to
secure flour.
This matter was debated in secret session and a long report
made denying the facts and the deductions of the General's
letter, but recommending that the amount be offered as a loan
to the United States. A bill to this effect was passed after much
opposition and the United States accepted the loan.^
On December 21 and on December 23, he sent to the Legis-
lature two long messages setting forth in the first, defects in the
militia laws and lack or waste of equipment ; and in the second,
defenseless condition of the northern frontier, especially against
the savages, enclosing a copy of a plan of defense, that he had
submitted to the Secretary of War, when he was last in Wash-
ington.
He wished to have organized and equipped five regiments of
militia, to be drilled and provided with camp equipage, but to
receive no pay or rations unless actually called out, and to be
credited with their tours of duty of six months, as soon as
equipped. (The militia was then classified and expected to
serve in classes for periods of six months each). The Governor
believed that this plan would afford individuals time to prepare

for the performance of their duties and would also provide arms,
camp equipage, and discipline, and all at small expense.'
Bills were introduced to carry out these plans but were de-
feated, as were other modified bills of the same nature.*
Again. February 13, 1815, the Governor, in a message, called
the legislative attention to the matter. It was referred to a
committee, but little came of it and the Legislature adjourned
on February 16. During this session the battle of New Orleans
was fought, January 8, but news of the victory did not reach
Chillicothe till about February 1. On that day, resolutions of
thanks to Gen. Jackson, his officers and men, were introduced
and the Legislature ordered their respective chambers to be
illuminated. On the 8th, the Legislature invited the Governor
to join them in procession to the Presbyterian meetinghouse
where divine service was performed, thanks returned for the
victory offered and a sermon suitable to the occasion, preached
by the Rev. Robert G. Watson, to whom the Legislature after-
wards voted its thanks and the sum of one hundred dollars.^
In his message to the Fourteenth General Assembly, which
convened at Chillicothe on December 4, 1815, Governor Worth-
ington congratulated them on the Peace ; offered the acknowl-
edgements of the State to ** The brave men who defended the
country in its difficulties and dangers;" advised the menlbers
*to set an example piety, and gratitude to God, and industry
and moral rectitude * in the discharge of their duties ; to develop
and call into action the resources of the state ; and *to provide
for future exigencies by the establishment of funds, which may
be resorted to in times, of difficulty and necessity, and for the
education and morals of the present and rising generations;'
to consider what can be done to improve the judiciary system
and to increase the salaries of the Supreme and Circuit Judges.
He makes a long argument for the better use of the so-called
"Three percent Fund" (so called from the three percent of the
sales of public lands set aside by the government for road-
building in Ohio) in the improvement of roads and for better
systems and larger tax for highways, He urges a better system
for the militia, and especially the purchase of arms and equip-
ment, referring to his message of December 20, 1814. He calls
to mind the system of caring for the few paupers among them,
reprobates the harsh laws of deportation, and the custom of
auctioneering of the care of the poor, and recommends that
each county establish ** Poor Farms."^
The Senate appointed committees to take into consideration
the portions of the message on Roads and Highways ; on Edu-
cation and Morals, and on the Poor. The House appointed on
Militia, and a joint committee took up the matter of the Judi-
ciary.®

The Committee on Education and Morals reported that the
state was then too poor to legislate on the subject of education,
and that the laws then in force were "sufficient to afford all aid
to morality, that can be reasonably expected of penal laws."*
The Poor Laws were revised and an act passed covering the'
management by overseers, and another allowing county com-
missioners to erect and establish county poor houses " whenever
in their opinion such a measure will be proper and advanta-
geous."* The Judicial system was reorganized, a fourth Su-
preme Judge and two additional circuits provided.* The Road
laws were revised and unified, but the Governor's suggestions
as to the Three Percent Fund were ignored.* All that could
be secured in the matter of the Militia was a resolution instruct-
ing the Delegation in Congress to favor a uniform militia law.*
On the 20th of December, a long message was sent favoring
the Bank Taxing policy and enclosing a report of Ralph Os-
born. State Auditor, on the subject, and also suggesting some
changes in the matter of the sale of a non-resident's land for
delinquent taxes. The Governor suggested that a portion of
the land should be forfeited and after two years allowance for
redemption, sold at public sale instead of the sale of the whole
tract. The legislature did not change the tax law, but did
debate over the Bank Tax question during the whole session,
finally passing a law on the matter.*
At this session the Legislature voted to move the books,
papers and money of the State to Columbus, the new buildings
being ready.'
On December 2, 1816, the Fifteenth General Assembly met
in Columbus. The Governor's message, read the next day, con-
gratulated the members, on the general peace throughout the
world, with the exception of South America, and asserted that
those peoples struggling for their liberty were entitled to the
best wishes of the people of Ohio. He further said, "Among
the objects which claim your particular attention are the Public
Schools and the means of improving the minds of the rising
generation ; the navigable rivers and the public roads of the
State." He calls attention to the way in which the navigable
rivers are obstructed by dams, and recommends a tax on the
lands of the counties through which the rivers run sufficient to
render navigation in them more safe and certain. He argues
for an increased tax and labor on the roads and a better use of
the Three Percent Fund, suggesting the incorporation of turn-
pike companies, and the subscription to the stock of these by
the State to the amount of that fund. ( For the year 1817 it
was $60,000).

He refers to the advantages of the site of the new Capital
and requests the patience of the members with the present
inconveniences.*
The Senate appointed a committee of five upon that part of
the message referring to Navigable Rivers, which later reported
that the finances of the State would not warrant appropriations
and that the plan of taxing contiguous counties would operate
unequally, and recommended the appointment of a committee
to examine the five principal rivers, and report at the next
session. This recommendation was disagreed to.*
On December 6, 1817, in joint session, the Speaker of the
Senate opened and published the returns of votes for Gover-
nor.' It appeared that Thomas Worthington had 22,931, James
Dunlap 6,295, and Ethan Allen Brown 1,607. He carried all but
ten of the forty-three counties. The inaugural took place on
the 9th, and Governor Worthington addressed the Legislature,
congratulating them on the general comfort and happiness in
the state, and the freedom from political asperity. He directs
their attention to the Penitentiary Report and to some defects in
the criminal law in the matter, especially of the penitentiary
sentences for minor offences. He argues for humane treatment
of the prisoner and for efforts toward his reform, and recom-
mends that the prisoner receive at the expiration of his sentence
the net proceeds of his labor, as such a course would encourage
industry and reformation ; providing, however, that this privi-
lege should be forfeited on a second conviction.
He also called their attention to the new capitol and grounds.
Some revision was made in the criminal law.* The matter
of the Penitentiary was referred to a committee, and after a
recommendation of removal to Zanesville* was finally located
where it now stands, ten acres being given by the proprietors
of Columbus for that purpose. The next session the matter was
again before the Legislature and the Governor submitted plans
procured at his own expense from Philadelphia for the
structure.*
On the last day of the session the senate voted down a reso-
lution to authorize the Governor to improve the public lot
(Capitol Square) and report the expense to the next Assembly.'
On December 11, a short message was sent in enclosing a
letter from DeWitt Clinton, President of the Canal Commis-
sioners of New York, soliciting the attention of the Ohio
Legislature to the plans of New York for a canal from Lake
Erie to the Hudson, and asking, that, as Ohio would participate
in the benefits, she share in the expense. The Governor said :

** I recommend to your consideration the propriety of using each means
as you deem proper to ascertain the practicability and expense of the pro-
posed canal. Should the information obtained on these points be satisfac-
tory, it will become the duty of the people of Ohio to give all the aid in their
power towards effecting an object in which they are so deeply interested."*
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Lucas, Ruggles and
Wheeler, was appointed to act with a committee from the
House and on January 27, 1817, a joint resolution was passed :
**Re8olvfdj That this State will aid as far as its resources will justif)' in
making the contemplated canal * * * in such manner as may be deejned
most advisable, when the plan or system which may be adopted by the State
of New York may be known ; and that his Excellency the Governor be
requested to open correspondence * * * in order to ascertain the practi-
cability and probable expense * • * and communicate the same to the
General Assembly at their next session.'*'
This session was chiefly devoted to bills for erecting new
counties ; incorporating banks, turnpike companies, and towns,
and leasing school lands.
The Legislature did, however, settle with the proprietors of
of Columbus, and pass a law requiring the examination and
licensing of physicians.^
The Fifteenth Assembly met December 1, 1817. The next
day the Governor in his message said :
(P. 11.) "First, as I consider it most important, I recommend to your
E articular attention the educaiion of the rising generation. * * * » w^e
ave received from the United States means to a very considerable extent,
which if rightly used would go a great way towards the general diffusion or
knowledge. To bring these means, with others, into action, to devise, or-
ganize and put in practice a system of education * * » ♦ would be the
most pleasing duty you could perform. The propriety of the measures pro-
posed and the means of effectnig it are the subjects which should be exam-
med. * * * That we possess the means, if earnestly disj>()sed to elfect
the object, I have no doubt. It is true it must be a work of time, hence the
necessity of commencing it. The great difficulty of procuring teachers whose
moral character and other qualifications fit them to enlighten the minds and
shape the morals of the rising generation, even when suitable compensation
can be made, is evident. * -^ » * With a view to effecting this object
(providing suitable t(»achers) I recommend to the Assembly the propriety
01 establishing at the seat of government a free school, at which shall be
taught the different branches of an English education at the expense of the
State to such number of boys, children of parents unable to educate them,
and no others, as the legislature may deem proper. That when ever young
men thus educated, shall become qualified for that purpose, they shall, when
proper salaries are furnished them, have the preference of employment in
the public schools of the state, and shall be obliged to serve as teachers of
schools until they are twentv-one years of age, and afterwards so long as
they conduct themselves well, have the preference of employment."
He again calls their attention to the public roads, laments the
waste and lack of responsibility, again recommends his plan for
the investment of the Three percent Fund* in the stock of turn-
pike roads.
He argues for the encouragement of domestic manufactures
and urges the propriety of their setting the example to their

constituents by the use of the manufactured articles of the
state.
He notes that in the fifteen years of life under the constitu-
tion the population has increased from 80,000 to over 500,000,
and the counties from nine to forty-eight, and that some pro-
visions of the constitution well calculated for a small population
have become burdensome for a large one, making necessary a
useless taxation.
He believes that shortly many provisions will be impossible
of execution and that by a change of provisions, fully one-half
the expense can be sayed and government better administered,
therefore he advises the necessary steps for such alterations as
may be necessary.
He states that from the contingent fund voted January 28,
1817, he has secured the articles there directed and has also
purchased a small but valuable collection of books which are
intended as the commencement of a library for the state. ** In
the performance of this act," he says, *• I was guided by what I
conceived the best interests of the state by placing within reach
of the representatives of the people such information as wil aid
them in the discharge of the important duties they are to per-
form." On the 6th, the Governor sent to the Senate a list of
the books and a copy of the rules and regulations adopted by
him till the Legislature should see fit to change them. In his
report of the contingent fund' it appears that the books cost
$945.67. On January 17, 1818, Gustavus Swan, the member for
Franklin county, offered a resolution* that the General Assem-
bly accept the library purchased by the Governor and that a
joint committee be appointed to adopt rules and regulations.
His resolution was passed by the House and on the same day
by the Senate.^ The report of this committee was adopted on
the 29th.*
A message of December 10*^ placed before the Assembly what
information had been obtained relative to the Erie Canal and
terms of settlement with the proprietors of Columbus ; urged
the reform of laws regarding commitments for slight offences
to the Penitentiary ; recommended purchase of books of field
exercises for the Infantry and the alteration of the Militia law
in such way as to improve the efficiency of officers, specifying
six changes ; referred to the fact that the N. W. boundary had
been surveyed, and enclosed report of the Auditor with sugges-
tions as to alterations in the revenue laws.
On January 10,* in giving notice of appointments made during
recess, and of resignations he directs attention to the N. W.
corner of the state, to which the Indian title has been extin-
guished, and urges the Assembly to divide it into sixteen coun-

ties 24 miles square and petition Congress to donate one section
near the center of each for a county seat, one-half the land to
be sold for country buildings and one-half for schools. On this
a committee was appointed, who on the 17th reported* in favor
of the plan, but as that the ratification of the treaty was not
yet reported, it would be indelicate to memorialize Congress,
and they recommended that the next Assembly take up the
matter. This passed the Senate January 22.*
In transmitting to the Assembly a list of Jeremy Bentham's
works presented to the State through J. Q.Adams, late Minister
to England, he takes the opportunity (Jan. 20),^ to inform his
fellow citizens that he does not desire to be a candidate for
Governor at the next election, and says, ** I have deemed this
early notice proper, in order to give the good people of Ohio
full time to select a successor, — on the present occasion I should
do injustice to you, to them, my successor, or to my own sense
of propriety, if I did not frankly express the opinions which I
have formed from holding the office for the last three years.
**The extraordinary increase of population in the state has
increased in the same proportion the duties of the office of
Governor and makes it necessary he should spend much of his
time at the seat of Government, indeed I have no hesitation in
saying, the interests of the state would be promoted by his
residence there. If the example of the oldest and most expe-
rienced states of the Union, who have found it necessary to
make provision for the residence of the executive at the seat
of Government is to have any weight, the propriety of such a
measure will be admitted.
** Considering the increased duties of the Governor of Ohio
and that the situation in which he is placed necessarily involves
him in expenses which if avoided would subject him to general
censure and if incurred will not be justified by the compensa-
tion now allowed, I feel it my duty to recommend earnestly, to
your consideration the propriety of making such suitable pro-
vision for the next governor of the state as you may deem right
and proper."
On the 28th, the House and Senate passed a vote of thanks
to the Governor.*
The session was almost entirely occupied with legislation
concerning the erection of new counties and little heed was
paid to the Governor's suggestions. A bill for the management
of the schools was introduced in the Senate, discussed and
recommitted.* A Committee on Roads was appointed which
brought in a bill that passed the Senate* on January 15, but it
did not become a law. On the matter of manufactures, the
appointed committee reported a resolution advising the sue-

ceeding legislators to appear in clothing of domestic manufac-
ture,' but nothing was done of importance.
The Seventeenth Assembly met December 7, 1818, and on
that afternoon the annual message was received and read,
beginning as follows :*
" Among the measures which I have heretofore recommended to the
Legislature for their consideration, and on which they have not acted, a gpod
plan for the education of the rising generation has been considered first in
importance. Time, and further reflection have confirmed me in the opinions
I have communicated ; and from a sense of duty to the state, I must again
recommend the subject to your attention.'*
He argues the matter for a page or so very forcibly, saying :
" I am fully convinced, it is the duty of the Legislature to adopt, with as
little delay as possible, a system for the establishment of elementary schools
throughout the state.'*
He further says :
" Next to a well regulated system of education the internal improvements
of the state require the attention of the Legislature, especially the naviga-
ble streams and public highways."
He refers then to his former communications with the added
reference to the increasing population, and lays before them a
copy of a letter and map sent by him to the Secretary of the
Treasury, concerning public roads in Ohio.
He says also :
"The disordered state of the paper currency of the country will claim
vour attention. The people of the state look to you for such remedy as may
be within your power. The obstacles * * * cannot be disguised, indeed I
fear it may be found impracticable to answer public expectation.'* He also
says: "The Agriculture and Manufactures of the state are objects at all
times worthy of the attention of the General Assmbly, under the present
circumstances they are especially so. A proper attention to the roads and
navigable streams are the best means of promoting the former. * * * I feel
fully satisfied by setting an example yourselves in using domestic apparel
* * * much can be done.
" The act to authorize the establishment of Poor Houses, leaves it discre-
tionary with the Commissioners to purchase land on which to erect a poor
house. The advantage to every county from purchasing lands before the
price becomes advanced, and by maintaining tne poor in houses erected for
that purpose are so evident as in my opinion to make it the duty of the
commissioners to purchase lands with the least delay. The present mode
of maintaining the poor, besides the extraordinary expense it incurs, is not
calculated to ensure them even humane treatment. Put off to the highest
bidder, their food, raiment and treatment must be proportionably wretched.
I recommend that the act be so amended as to effect the objects just stated."
The Governor states that the U. S. Government had charged
against Ohio nearly 1200 stands of arms. Knowing that this
was a wrong accounting, he says that he gathered all receipts
and vouchers possible and went to Washington for the purpose
of closing this account.
He shows that this has been effected on just and liberal prin-
ciples and that the state is entitled to $100,000 worth of arms,
which will be sent on as soon as a proper place is prepared for
them, and recommends a State Arsenal at Columbus.

He states that since the last session he has attended as many
of the musters of the officers of the militia as possible, and feels
great satisfaction with the disposition of the officers of the
fourteen brigades reviewed.
He refers to his message of January 10 in regard to the part
of the state lately secured by treaty from the Indians, and
encloses maps of the survey of the Michigan line. The follow-
ing is worthy of notice :
*' I can not close this communication without calling your attention to
one other subject, which I sincerely hope you will take into serious consid-
eration and make such provisions as tlie case requires. The immoderate use
of ardent i^piriis is productive of much evil in society. I remind you etc., etc.
* * * Nothing aids more in the practice of this vice, than what are usually
called tippling housen, or dram shops. I have no doubt the putting down
of such houges would have the best effects as they are really nuisances m
society."
He closes with an exhortation to maintain the principles of
republicanism established by the founders, and an expression
of his feelings on parting with many with whom he had long
been associated in public life.
In his letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, referred to
above, he urges' the extension of the National Road west from
Wheeling, through Columbus to St. Louis, stating that it then
took the mail forty days from Washington to St. Louis, but on
a well constructed road it could be done in eighteen days at
most. He asks aid for a road from Washington, Pa., through
Steubenville to the mouth of the Cuyahoga river ; from Zanes-
ville to Maysville or Limestone, Ky. (the old Zane Trail); from
Portsmouth via Columbus to Sandusky, and from Cincinnati to
the Miami of Lake Erie (the Maumee).
He describes the navigable rivers and shows that the Big
Miami and St. Marys branch of the Miami of the lakes might
be connected by canal, and that other connections at head
waters might be made, with only a short portage.
On the 8th, the Assembly canvassed the returns for Governor
and found that Ethan Allen Brown had 30,194 votes and James
Dunlap 8,075* and a resolution was passed that the Speaker of
the Senate wrote Mr. Brown informing him of his election and
requesting his attendance to enter upon his duties.
Committees were appointed on those parts of the message
relating to intemperance^ and salaries, a joint committee on
paper currency, a committee on a State Arsenal, and one on the
Revenue System ;* on Education ;* on Manufactures.*

EXTRACTS FROM MANCHESTER, ENGLAND.
CHURCH RECORDS.
Contributed by Clarence M. Burton, of Detroit, Vice-President for Michigan
of The "Old Northwest" Genealogical Society,
The " Old Northwest'' Gene, Society, Columbus, Ohio :
My ancestors came from near Manchester, England, and for
the purpose of looking them up, I had an examination of all
church records, and other records of like nature, in and about
the old places at Manchester, preceding the year 1800. The
name Burton is quite frequently met with, and there are many
of that name in no way connected with my family, but as this
search may be of interest to others bearing the same name,
I send you herewith a copy of all these records that I have
obtained.
Their publication will, doub'.less, permit other people to place
their own ancestry across the ocean, and if any one is benefited
by my researches, I shall be gratified and satisfied.

FIRST SETTLEMENT OF BLENDON TOWNSHIP,
FRANKLIN COUNTY, OHIO.
By H. Wabbbn Phelps, of Columbus, Ohio.
For the purpose of preserving a correct history of the first
settlement and of the pioneer industries, school and church of
Blendon township, Franklin county, Ohio, by publication in
The " Old Northwest" Genealogical Quarterly, reference
is made, and names and dates are taken, from an account book
kept by the first pioneer settler, Edward Phelps,* in 1806, and
from official papers brought to Ohio by him which are now in
the possession of a grandson, the writer of this.
In 1805, Edward Phelps and Isaac Griswold.f a younger man,
came to Ohio, traveling on horseback, accompanying the colony
of Windsor and Simsbury, Connecticut, people and some others
from towns in Massachusetts, who settled Granville, in Licking
county, among these were the Moore and Humphrey families.
*£dward Phelps was the youngest son of Timothy and Margaret (GiUett) Phelps and
was born at Windsor, Conn., Aug. 27, 1759; grandson of Cornelius and Sarah (Mansfield)
Phelps ]great-grandson of Lieut. Timothy and Mary (Oriswold) Phelps ; great-great-grand-
son of mlliam and Mary (Doyer) Phelps, who came from Tewkesbury, Oloucestershire,
England, in 1630, on the ship Ma/ry and John, landing Mav 30th. after a ten weeks voyage,
with 140 persons, on the coast of Massachusetts at Nantasiet Bay and settled at Dorchester.
In 1635, the Phelps family with sixty other persons settled Windsor, Conn.
The Phelps arms are: "Argent, a lion rampant, sable, between six crosses crosslets
pitchy gules. Motto : " Veritas Sine Timore " (Truth without fear.)
The name In Germany, in the 15th century, was Guelphs, and in Italy in the 11th cen-
tury It was Welf . The Guelphs were the leaders of the Papal party in the conflicts of the
Pope with the German princes in the middle ages.— See " Phelps FamUy of America," by
Servln.
After 170 years of living at Windsor, this family still held the original homestead lands
of their ancestors, although many of the descendants had removed to other towns, cities
and states. Nearly all of that name in America are descendants of those sturdy emigrants,
William and Mary.
tGrandson of Isaac and Mindwell (Phelps) Griswold, and a descendant in the sixth gen-
eration of Edward Griswold, who came from Kenilworth, England, in 1689, and settleid at
Windsor, Conn.

18 First SeUUnunt of BUtuUm Jwp., FranhUn Co., O. (Jan.
Leaving this colony in their new forest home, these two men
pursued their way, following an Indian pathway, guided by
friendly Indians, twenty-eight miles farther west to the settle-
ment of Connecticut and Massachusetts people : Griswold,
Case, Pinney, Tuller, Phelps, Bristol, Brown, Morrison, Topping,
Vining, Kilbourne, Dr. Lamb, Lewis, Maynard, Beach, Tnomp-
son, Wilson, Sloper, Cochran and others, at Worthington.
After carefully examining the soil, timber and natural advan-
tages of the country, they decided to purchase lands bordering
on Alum creek, five miles east from the Worthington settle-
ment. After blazing trees at Alum creek to designate their
choice of lands, they started on their return journey and arrived
safely at their homes in Windsor, Conn. They disposed of their
lands and purchased lands in Ohio from Aaron Ogden, of Eliz-
abethtown. New Jersey, by his attorney, Jonas Stanbery of the
city of New York.
There is a certified copy of a power of attorney now in the
gossession of a grandson of Edward Phelps, made by Aaron
>gden to Jonas Stlnbury, both of Eastern states, giving to the
said Stanbery authority to sell lands in Ohio, contained in a
tract of 4000 acres, being the third quarter of the Second town-
ship in the Seventeenth Range U. S. Military lands situated in
Franklin county, Ohio.
This land was on the seventh day of May, 1800, patented by
John Adams, President of the United States of America to John
Stiles, and on July 7, 1800, John Stiles deeded this land to
Matthew Williamson, and in 1802, October 12th, Matthew Will-
iamson conveyed this land to Aaron Ogden.
The following deed to land was the first deed made to an
actual settler of Blendon township :
To all people to whom thefe prefents shall come Greeting : Know Ye
that I Aaron Ogden, of Elizabethtown in the County of Efsex, & State of
New Jersey, by m^ Attorney Jonas Stanbery, of the City of New York, for

Hartford County & State of Connecticut.

Section.
To have and to hold the above granted and bargained premifes with the
appurtenances thereof, unto him the faid Edward his heirs and

Wagons to be drawn by oxen, and lighter wagons to be drawn
by horses, were prepared, Mr. Ethan Palmer being the mechan-
ical iron and wood worker. Iron cost seven cents per pound.
The following extract from the account book of Edward
Phelps is self-explanatory :
March 1806.
To prepare ox wagon for our journey from New England to Ohio.
To the Wheels and Axel trees and nees $21. To Iron to tire the wheels
sixty weight, $4.20. To tiring the wheels $2.50. To Bands and irons to
make epikes, $2.50
The Horse wagon cost $56.
Edward Phelps married *' Azubah, daughter of Simeon and
Hannah (Barber) Moore,* May 6, 1789. She was born Feb. 13,
1765, at Torrington, Conn., and was a descendant from George
and Frances (Dewey) Phelps. He was brother to William, and
came from England in 1630."
They, with their six children ; Isaac Griswold and his wife,
Ursula, dau. of Moses and Ursula (Phelps) Clark, born Jan. 1,
1783, married Feb. 14, 1801, and their two children ; Miss Selina
Griswold, sister to Isaac, and Ethan Palmer ; fourteen persons,
started from Windsor, Conn., on June 24, 1806, with two wagons
drawn each by three yokes, or pairs, of oxen, and two wagons
drawn by horses, — on August 8th, they crossed the Ohio river
on a ferry boat, paying $2.52 ferriage, — and after two months
of weary travel arrived on their lands in Ohio, Saturday, August
23d.
They established homes on Alum creek, and were the first
white settlers of what was afterwards known as Harrison town-
ship, but the name was, in 1824. changed to Blendon.
The first winter these new settlers, living in the forest, five
miles from the Worthington settlement of three years and
twelve miles from the settlement at Franklinton, had very little
food supply : wild game meat, the nuts which they had gath-
ered, with a small supply of corn and potatoes which they could
procure, was their allowance.
On June 8, 1807, Benjamin and Simeon Moore, brothers of
Mrs. rhelps, with their families, arrived from Connecticut.

In 1808, Francis Olmsted, George Osborn and Oliver Clark
came -from Connecticut. Francis Olmsted selected land and

James Kilbourne, commenced to publish Tke Western Intelligencer
in 1811, at Worthington, copies of which are now in existence.
The paper was the foundation for the Ohio State Journal, of
Columbus.
In the old account book of Edward Phelps appears the fol- "
lowing : ** December 17, 1810. Francis Olmsted came to my
house with his family ; " and there are accounts of different
dates, up to April 7, 1811, of provisions furnished, and in Feb-
ruary, 1811, appears the following : " Dr. to sledding brick from
Maxfields brick yard near Worthington settlement, to build
chimney for Olmsteds cabin."

with fever on August 8, and died September 1. This was the
first death occurring in the new colony, and the body was buried
in the Worthington Episcopal cemetery. A plain slab, with
name inscribed,* marks the grave, near the church. Dr. Parsons
treated him and the book shows his bill, twenty-three dollars,
paid. A receipt is in the book as follows : " Rec'd July 22nd,
1812, of Edward Phelps ope dollar in full for my services dig-
ging grave for Mr. Moore : as witness my hand. Matthew
Matthews."
Ebenezer Butler, Cruger Wright, Preserved Leonard, Isaac
Bartlett and Robert McCutcheon — the latter from Virginia —
came in 1811 ; Timothy Lee, Obdiah Benedict, William Huey
Watt, Charles P. Hempstead, Christian Smothers, in 1812 ; Sam-
uel and John McDannald, Samuel Puntney and Elisha Bidwell,
1813 ; Israel Baldwin and John D. Coe, 1814 ; Thomas Palmer,
Aaron Poe, Thomas Ingalls, and Jonathan Noble, 1815 ; Menzes

Matthew. Peter and William Westervelt and John Bishop came
from Dutchess county, New York, in 1818 ; Peter P. Lawson came
from same place in 1822 ; all settled in the northern part of the
township. Garrit Sharp and Westevelts established the village
of Westerville, in 1839.
On March 6, 1815, the township was organized under the name
of Harrison. Previous to that time, it was kuown as the Second
township in the Seventeenth Range, United States Military
District of Ohio. An election was held on the first Monday
in April, 1815, under direction of the county commissioners.
The treasurer's report made April 1, 1816, showed that four-
teen dollars and twelve and one-half cents tax had been im-
posed. The expenses had been seven dollars and ninety cents.
There was dissatisfaction with the name of Harrison, and on
the 8th of December, 1824, the name was changed to that of
Blendon township ; which blended all factions and parts of the
township.
The first marriage was Ethan Palmer and Miss Chloe Lovilla,
daughter of Francis and Chloe (Case) Olmsted, on March 25,
1818, by Ezra Griswold, J. P., of Worthington.f
Their daughter, Eliza F. Palmer, died at the age of 18 months
in 1817. He died March 80, 1818, and they were buried in the
cemetery near Jamisons, now known as Blendon Pioneer Cem-
etery, which is now cared for under the cemetery laws of Ohio.
Miss Selina Griswold, who was aged 24 years, came to Ohio
with these pioneers as a teacher for their children. She returned
to Connecticut with her parents, who visited the pioneers in
1807, but came back to the pioneer settlement in 1808 and taught

until 1813, when Captain William Alford, who came from Wind-
sor in 1812 and remained one year, won her for his wife. They
returned to Windsor and were married, and four children were
born to them.
Apple seeds were brought by the settlers from their homes
in the East and planted. Apple trees were also brought from
Zanesville and Granville, in 1808, on horseback, and planted.
The seeds of the burdock and other dock, jimpson, alder, sage,
pennyroyal, mullein, saffron, poke, ragweed, hoarhound, catnip
and dandelion were brought by Mrs. Phelps and planted for
their medicinal qualities ; as also was the thin-shelled, small
hickory and the red plum and peach.
Pure distilled whiskey was used to extract the medicinal
qualities of herbs, roots and berries. Every housewife of these
pioneer families was the home physician,
Apple trees are still standing, annually bearing fruit ; also red
plum trees, on lands near to where the first cabin stood, erected
by the pioneers for Isaac Griswold and family. A depression in
the ground (the cellar) plainly shows where the cabin stood,
the spring of water is near by, and a grove of thrifty white oak
timber stands on three acres of land which was one of the first
fields cleared of the native timber and where wheat was grown,
harvested in 1807. * When the roads were first established, this
land was left one-fourth mile to the north ; but it is still owned,
and highly prized, by a grandson.
One daughter, Mrs. Mindwell Eunice Griswold (widow of
George Bull Clarke for 50 years) aged 80 years, is the only
living child of either of the two pioneer families. She resides
on the lands where the second cabin of her father's family was
erected, at Blendon 4 Corners, and in the house where her par-
ents resided for so many years. This aged lady fully identifies
the prominent places described in this sketch. There are yet
living fourteen sons and daughters of the young people who
came with their parents in 1806.
The centennial celebration of the first settlement of Blendon
will be held in 1906, on the grounds where evidences are so
plainly visible. Annual pioneer family reunions are held.
The Phelps family's double cabin was located on the brow of
the high ground three-fourths mile west from Alum creek, on
the north side of the present road leading from Worthington.
The first well dug is nearby — there was a spring of water in the
bank across a ravine one hundred and twenty feet W. of north.
The first road leading north and south was on the west side of
the cabin ; but in 18^ it was changed to one-fourth mile east,
where Blendon 4 Corners was established.
The first school house was built, with round logs, on lands of
Griswold, about thirty rods south from where Blendon 4 Corners
now is, in 1814. About the year 1814. another log school house
was erected two miles north, on the Robert Jamison land, and
one on the N. W. section of the township. Previous to the

erection of these houses, rooms in cabins and barns were used
for school purposes. Schools were kept in the Moore settle-
ment in the cabins and early erected frame houses.
A school was established, very soon after 1815, near where
Central College Academy was established in 1885. Rev. Eben-
ezer Washburn, of the Presbyterian church, was the teacher in
a select school there for several years previous.
In 1835, Timothy Lee gave one hundred acres of land, and
erected suitable buildings — chapel, recitation rooms and dorm-
itory three stories high, of brick — presenting all to the Presby-
tery. A charter was obtained in 1842. Rev. L. A. Sawyer was
the first president. Rev. Ebenezer Washburn was made pro-
fessor or natural philosophy, mathematics and astronomy.
Those who became governors of states, U. S. senators, eminent
judges and lawyers and professors were educated there. The
college finally failed of support and has recently been sold to
the society for aged mutes.
Timothy Lee and Harvey Trumbull had a woolen mill, and
manufactured cloth, on Big Walnut, near Central College, and
gave employment to many young people who were students at
the academy.
In 1839, Matthew Westervelt donated twenty-five acres of his
farm to the Methodist Episcopal Conference, and the Blendon
Young Men's Seminary was established at Westerville. Build-
ings were erected and the school was opened with Rev. J. C.
Kingsley and George Blair as teachers. In 1849, the United
Brethren in Christ church conference purchased the college
and converted it into a college for both sexes. It is a success.
The first church services were held at the cabins of the pio-
neers ; then in commodious frame barns, by ministers of the
Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist and Universalist
denominations. The Rev. James Hoge preached there in 1812
and Rev. Ebenezer Washburn in 1816, and the Presbyterian
church society was organized in 1820. The first church building,
a frame, was erected in 1829, in the center of the township on
the lot where was located the Old Church Pioneer Cemetery.
This church was burned down by incendiaries on the first Sun-
day night of October, 1829.
Another larger frame building was erected, on a lot opposite
the cemetery which was given by Edward Phelps — built entirely
by donations of materials and labor by the citizens, in 1880, and
was not denominational, although the Presbyterians occupied
it for many years, until 1864.
The Methodists held services in school houses until 1839,
when they erected a brick church in Westerville.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
Clbvxland.— We reeret to note the death of Edmund Janes Cleveland,
of Hartford, Conn., wnich occurred July 9, 1902, after a long and painful
illness of diabetes. Mr. Cleveland was the author of Cleveland Qenealonr,
a colossal work in three large volumes of over 1000 pages each, and at the
time of his death he was enmpd upon the fourth volume of his work. He
served his country in the CivO war, in which he had a very honorable rec-
ord ; but his genealogical record will be his most enduring monument. He
had a large and very valuable genealogical library, which his family desire
to dispose of. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth (Bra^w)
Cleveland, one son, Edmund Janes Cleveland, who graduated at Trmity
College, Hartford, in 1902, and two daughters, Mrs. George Allen King, of
Hartford, and Mrs. Erastus W. Bulkley, of Albany, N. Y.
MooRB Gembaloot. — Hon. Horace L. Moore, of Lawrence, Kan., has his

Sabchet.— I have copied a note from the Genealogy of the Sarchet Fam-
ilv, recently published at Cambridge, 0., which might be of interest to some
of our readers if published in The Quabtbrlt.
" In 1805 there was a colony formed for the purpose of emigrating to the
new state of Ohio in the Northwest Territory. Thomas Sarchet was selected
as the forerunner. Where he located the members of the colony were to
locate. He located August 14, 1806, at the newly laid out town plat of Cam-
bridge, Muskingum County, Ohio, on big Wills Creek. The rest of the
colonists came on in 1807. The names of the Guernsey families were: Sar-
chet, Birchard, Ogier, Naftel, Lenfestey, Marquand, Hlubert. de Francis, La
Sures, Ratillies, La Vire and Ferbache, and of young men, Kobin, Poedvin.
Ogier, La Rue, Langlois, Torode, Corbet, Birchard, La Page and Gibrant.'*
The families mentioned in the Sarchet Genealogy are from the Island of
Guemsev. Cambridge is now located in Guernsey County, Ohio. There
also settled at an early date in Coshocton County from the Island of Guern-
sey the following: Boise, Le Retilley and La Serre. Chas. F. La Sebbb.

of each book, with the amount to be added for postage, or charges, by mail or express.]
A Frinan Family. The Banta Oenealogy. Dacendants of Epke Jacobee^ who
came from Friedand, Netherland»y to Isew Amsterdam^ February, 1669. By
Theodore M. Banta, Member of the New York and Long Island Historical
Societies, of the American Historical Association, and of the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society, Fellow of the American Geograph-
ical Society. New York: 1893. 8vo, half seal, pp. xvi-f-412.
This is a history of a feunilv that seems to have been known by the name
of Jacobs^ or Jacobse, in Holland, for many years ; but some time after its
introduction to this country, where permanent surnames are the rule, the
name became changed to Banta, and all of the family now in America bear
that name in some form of selling. The descendants of the immi|^nt at
an early date began to settle in New Jersey, and from there have dispersed
quite extensively over the country, many being in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and other states in this section of the country, and even the Pacific coast
seems to have attracted many of them. As this family descended from one
of the early Holland immigrants, all its members are eligible to membership
in the Holland Society, and this book will enable them to trace their lineage
and to make application for membership. The book is most elegantly con-
structed, the pnnting and binding being first class, and it has fine illustra-
tions, consisting of views in Holland and portraits of members of the family.
It should be accessible to all members of the family andshould find a place
in every library having a genealogical collection.

The Lancaster Family. A History of Thomas and Phehe Lancaster, of Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, and their Descendants, 1711 to 190S, Also a Sketch on

This book traces the descendants of Thomas Ijancaster, who, when a boy
of about nine years, was brought over from Yorkshire, England, in 1711, to
Bucks county, Pennsylvania, oy Ann Chapman, a minister of the Friends*
Society, on ner return from a religious visit. He was reared among the
Friends, and in 1725 married Phebe Wardell, a member of that sect, daughter
of John Wardell, a native of Wales, who with his daughter Phebe settled
in Boston and afterwards removed to Wrightstown, Penn. Thomas and
Phebe both became ministers in the Society of Friends. About 1740, they
removed to Bucks county, Penn., and of thirteen children eleven grew to
maturity and from them have sprung a goodly progeny— now ^uite widely
dispersed over our country — many of whom are now residing in Ohio and
Indiana. A short sketch of the English family is appended, going back to
the time of the Norman conquest ; the progenitor of the family coming over
with the Conoueror and receiving an allotment of land in Lancashire and
Westmoreland. It has been impossible to trace the connection of the immi-
grant Thomas with this familj^, as the circumstances of his coming away,
at such a tender age, and castmg his lot among strangers to his family ren-
dered it impossible, in later years, to find the connecting link. The book
is copiously illustrated with views of Friends* Meeting Houses, residences
and portraits, all of which are f^ood half-tones. It is well indexed, and the
paper and binding are of superior quality. It is a book which will interest
not only this Lancaster family, but many others connected by marriage, and
will also be of sreat use to genealogists m search of information concerning
collateral families.
The Livermore Family of America. By Walter Eliot Thwing Member of the

Genealogical Society W. B. Clarke Company Boston 1902. 8vo, buck-
ram, pp. 479. Price, $7.60.
We gladly welcome this work, the crowning fruit of nearly twenty years
of patient research. John Livermore, the ancestor of nearly all bearing the
name in the United States, sailed from Ipswich, England, the last of April,
1634, and settled in Watertown, Mass., and, in 1635, went to Wethersneld,
Digitized by VjOOQIC

Conn., with other people from Watertown, and about three years later re-
moved to Quinnipiac, now New Haven, being one of the original settlers of
that place. He left New Haven and returned to Watertown, Mass., about
1650, where he died April 14, 1684. He married in England Grace, a daugh-
ter of Edward and Grace (Makin) Sherman, of Dedham and Colchester,
county Essex. No attempt is made, in this book, to trace the ancestry of
John Livermore in England. A succinct history of him is given and his
descent is carefully traced to the eleventh generation. The family has inter-
married with many other noted families of this country, and has had a
goodly number of worthy representatives in many localities, ornamenting
the various professions and callings. The author has had previous experi-
ence in genealogical work, having published, in 1883, a genealogy of the
Thwing family, and this book exhibits the mature judgment of a veteran
worker in this particular literary field. The book is of great value, not only
to Livermores, but to many other families with which it has become allied.
It should be accessible to all of the family, and should also find a place in
many libraries throughout this country. It is handsomely printed and
bound, beautifully illustrated with portraits and views of old residences of
members of the family, and is thoroughly indexed.
Oeneaiogy of the Merrkk-Mirick-Mynck Family of Massachutetts 16S6-190iS By
George Byron Merrick Madison, Wis. Tracy, Gibbs & Company 1902
Svo, cloth, pp. viii-h494. Price, $5.00.
The book opens with a brief account of the Welsh origin of the Merrick
family, compiled from Burke*s Peerage, edition of 1887. Making no attempt
(which would, doubtless, now prove futile) to establish direct connection
with the Welsh stock, the author traces the descent of four brothers, who
were bom in Wales, and who reached Charlestown, Mass., in the James in
the spring of, 1636. They were: William, born 1603; John, born 1614;
James, bom about 1612, and Thomas, bora 1620. The first settled in East-
ham, and^also seems to have lived in Duxbury ; the second in Charlestown ;
the third in Newbury, and the fourth in Springfield, Mass., and we now find
their descendants widely dispersed throughout the length and breadth of
this country. The most noted member of the family in Ohio was the late
Kev. Frederick Merrick, D.D., who was for many years connected with the
Ohio Wesley an University, at Delaware, as professor and president. After
giving the descent of the lour brothers, some Southern families are given,
who descended from settlers in North and South Carolina— probably from
the Massachusetts stock— about 1740-50, and are now quite widely scattered
throughout the Southern states. Colonial and Revolutionary war records
of many Merricks are given, which will prove quite useful at the present
time. In an appendix, genealogical notes of these allied families are given :
Smith, Bidwell, Brook and Whitney. The book is well arranged, on the
Register plan, with ample biographical sketches of the most noted repre-
sentatives of the family, and it is illustrated with a Coat-of-Arms in heraldic
colors, and is completely indexed, with the family and other surnames and
names of places — the latter being a most useful and essential feature which
often overlooked by those indexing genealogies. Another useful feature is
a list of college graduates bearing the name of Merrick. The printer has
done his part of the work in a most elegadt manner, and the binaing is both
durable and elegant; making this altogether a model genealogy, which
should be generously supported by the Merrick family, and it should be
found in the principal libraries of this country.

Svo, buckram, pp. 514.
MunselPs Genealogical Index (1900) has a list of nine Rogers genealogies,
varying in size from 5 to 194 pages ; so this is by far the most extensive work
relating to any family of that name vet published. James Rogers was made
a freeman of New liondoiK Conn., Mar. 14, 1660-01, but his name appears
in the town records a number of years before that time, and he probably

came from England about 1635, when quite a youngman : but the exact
date and place of hia birth has not been ascertained. The will and inventory
of his estate are given, together with many extracts from town records. His
descent is traced with great care, and shows ten ^nerations. An appendix
of nine pages gives many items which were received too late to be inserted
in their proper places. The compiler has done his work in an excellent
manner, and this Dook should receive so generous patrona|^e that he will
feel encouraged to publish the records of other Rogers f amihes, of whom he
has prepared most copious data. There is a full index of persons, all em-
bodied under a single nead ; which, together with a table of contents, renders
its contents of very ready access. The book has a goodly number of illus-
trations, consisting of Coats-of-Arms, portraits^ views of residences, etc, all
of whicn are half-tones of superior quality, with one exception, which is a
steel enmiving. The paper is of good qualitv, the printing fine— being the
work of T. R Marvin & Son, of Boert^n — and the binding is both ele^nt and
substantial. This book is the most important contribution to the history of
the name of Rogers in America, and it should be generally accessible.
Same Family lAneage of Thomas Sayrt 4 Fofwnder of Sofuihampton By Theo-
aore M. Banta Author of ''A Frisian Family," Member of the New York,
Long Island and Virginia Historical Societies, of the New York Genealog-
ical and Biographicfu Society, of the American Historical Association, of
the Maalschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkande te Leiden (Society of
Dutch Literature at Leiden, Netherlands), etc., etc. New York 1901
[The De Vinne Press] Sq. 8vo, half mor., pp. xvi-f-759. Price. $10.00.
The Sayre family is English, the direct ancestry having been traced to
William oayre of Hinwich, in Bedfordshire, who died in 1654. The name
appears upon records in that county as far back as 1310; so it is evident the
family has been located there at least six hundred years. Thomas Sayre,
the American ancestor, was born in England in 1597, and probably married
and had children there. He appears of Record in Lynn, Mass., in 1638, and
and was among the settlers of Southampton, Long Island, in 1640, From
him ten generations have sprung, as shown by this book. We find a goodly
number of noted men representing the three learned professions, and other
honorable positions in bfe, in various sections of our country. As with
many other Long Island families, many of the first who left Southampton
settled in the near-by colony of New Jersey, and from there their progeny
scattered to contiguous places or colonies, in a westward direction, until at
the present time the)r are almost ubiquitous. The book has a list of those
of the name and family who served in all the various wars of our countrv,
from colonial times down to the present ; so that all members of this family
desiring to become members of patriotic societies based upon ancestral serv-
ice in those wars can find in this book good proof of such service. The book
is most beautifully printed, as the name of the printer, De Vinne, attests,
and the binding is both elegant and substantial. Illustrations, though not
80 numerous as in some books of the class, are all good, consisting of views
of churches in England, old residences in this country — ^notably Long Island
and New Jersey — and portraits of members of Uie family. The book should
have a wide circulation in the family, as well as in public libraries.
Year Book of the Holland Society of New York 190f Prepared by the Secre-
tary Theodore M. Banta L. Svo, cloth, pp. xiv-|-179.
This book, besides containing a list of officers and members (both living
and dead) of the society, and tne proceedings at the annual banauet, has a
complete and carefully revised list of passengers to New Netherland from
1654 to 1664. This is of great value to any one looking for information as to
the date of arrival of any of .the Dutch immigrants who came to what is now
New York at that time, and the descendants of those passengers are much
indebted to Mr. Banta for the pains taken by him to render the information
full and correct. The book is most elegantly printed, and bound in the
colors of the society and is illustrated with several ancient views of New
Amsterdam, the menu of the banquet, and with portraits of members who
made addresses at the banquet.

As its title indicates, this is not a book which is of much value to the
senealogist, but it sets forth in a very interesting manner the history of the
fundamental laws of the territory and state of Iowa, and the final crystalli-
sation into a state constitution. Incidentally, the names of many of the
most prominent early settlers and officials are given ; but the lack of an index
of names renders it somewhat of a task for the searcher to find them. The
gifted author has done his work well, and it is a very useful work for the
generality of public libraries.

GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY.
JULY, 1903.
LUCIUS CARROLL HERRICK.
By Louise Hsbbick Abbott and Nbllie Herrick Wright, his Daughters.
Lucius Carroll Herrick sprung from one of the earliest New
England families. Behind him six generations of New Eng-
land farmers take us back in direct line to a Henry Herrick
who was, in all probability, the fifth son born (1604) to Sir
William Herrick of Beau Manor, County of Leicester, England.
As a young man he emigrated to the new world, probably
going first to Virginia, where Sir William Herrick is known to
have been interested in mercantile adventures. Before long,
however, he journeyed north to Massachusetts where, in 1629,
he with his wife Editha were among the thirty who founded
the first church in Salem. Of their numerous family five sons
and one daughter left issue, and these are regarded as the
patriarchs of the various branches of the Herrick family.
Lucius Carroll Herrick belonged to the family of Ephraim,
the third son of Henry Herrick, who lived on a farm given him
by his father at Beverly, Massachusetts. Timothy, the fifth
son of Ephraim, removed to Preston, Connecticut, where his
fourth son, Israel, also resided, to whom was born in 1760 a
second son, Stephen, the grandfather of Lucius Carroll Herrick.
Stephen Herrick enlisted as a private in the Revolutionary
Army in 1776, and continued in service, part of the time as
teamster, until 1779, when he shipped upon a privateer which
was captured a few days afterward by a British man-of-war.
He was imprisoned in the old " Jersey '* prison ship in Walla-
bout Bay, Long Island, for eighteen months, the last nine
months of the time holding the position of chief cook for the
prisoners, which not only gave him full rations but also aflForded
him an opportunity to surreptitiously aid his starving fellow
prisoners.
At the close of the war he married in Hanover, New Hamp-
shire, and in April, 1792. settled in West Randolph, Vermont.
During the latter part of his life he was a licensed preacher of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was noted for his
Digitized by VjOOQIC
58 Lucius Carroll Herrick. [July,
remarkable memory, retaining everything of which his mind
took cognizance either by reading or observation.
Stephen Herrick and his wife Rebecca (McCray) were the
parents of thirteen children, all but one of whom lived to
marry and rear children. The eleventh child, Lorenzo Dow,
born 1806, continued to reside on the homestead, known as the
Valley Farm, living during his whole lifetime in the house in
which he was born. In 1882 he married Zilpha Ann Haskins
of Middlesex, Vermont, and their fifth son, born September 2,
1840, was Lucius Carroll Herrick, the subject of this sketch.
It is of interest just to note in passing, that the line of descent
we have been tracing through seven generations four times
includes a fifth son, the first, third, sixth and seventh members
of the line bearing each this distinction.
Lorenzo Dow Herrick was a man of more than ordinary
force of character. His large family claimed much of his time
and energy ; still he was a man of large public spirit and made
his influence felt in many good enterpises. In particular he
was the friend of education, being a leader among a few citi-
zens who instituted the Academy at West Randolph. He gave
four sons a college education and assisted them more or less in
professional studies which all of them pursued. He also
assisted his fifth son, Lucius, in the study of medicine.
This son as well as his older brothers inherited the father's
love for education. He early developed a fondness for books
which remained a ruling trait through life. While a mere boy
together with his life-long friend, Albert Brown Chandler, well
known as the President of the Postal Telegraph Cable Com-
pany, he began the publication of a miniature newspaper which
they called " The Pearl." Truly, " the child is father to the
man", and it is not strange to find him in later life giving up
the profession of his early manhood and returning to the
chosen work of his boyhood days.
Dr. Herrick received his preliminary education mostly at the
West Randolph (Vermont) Academy. At the age of sixteen
years he went to Montpelier, Vermont, where he worked as
apprentice in the printing office of the ** Green Mountain Free-
man." Two years later at the age of eighteen years, he com-
menced the study of Medicine with Dr. C. L. Stewart, of West
Randolph, Vermont, under whose tuition he remained three
years, during which time he attended lectures at the Castleton
(Vermont) Medical College and the Medical Department of
the University of Michigan.
During the autumn of 1861 h;: assisted his preceptor in his
practice, until November 21, when he enlisted as a private in
the Eighth Vermont Volunteer Infantry. While in camp at
Brattleboro, Vermont, in January 1862, he contracted a heavy
cold and was compelled to enter the regimental hospital.
There, instead of receiving treatment as a patient, he was soon

assi^ led to duty as a nurse, while his cough and bronchial
troul e remained unabated. Finally, in March, a severe attack
of p iumonia seized him in New York City on the eve of
emK king with his regiment for a southern port. He was
giv I a furlough and eight weeks later, when convalescent,
h'-' g unable to obtain passage to Ship Island, Mississippi,
re his regiment was then located, was permitted to return
his home in Randolph, Vermont. In August, 1862, he was
lered to report at the Marine United States Army Hospital
Burlington, Vermont, where he acted as hospital steward
til the latter part of October, when he requested to be sent
) his regiment, then stationed at Algiers, Louisiana. Arriving
iftere in December, 1862, he at once reported at the hospital
and was detailed as a nurse, which position he filled for nearly
a year, moving with the hospital to various points in the south-
ern part of Louisiana. The climate proved very deleterious to
his health and he was much of the time on the sick list, and
finally was recommended for discharge ; but being offered a
commission as Assistant Surgeon of the Fourth United States
Colored Cavalry, he accepted it and remained in service,
though continuing to suffer from numerous attacks of malaria.
In the fall of 1864 he was compelled to return to his home in
Vermont on sick leave, where he remained two months, and
returned to his regiment about December 1, (1864), being
stationed mostly at Port Hudson, Louisiana, until the regiment
was mustered out of service, March 20, 1866.
Dr. Herrick had received his degree from the Medical
Department of the University of Vermont in 1864. At the
close of his military service he returned to Vermont where he
spent the summer. In September, 1866, he went to New York
City and attended a course of lectures in the Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, also taking a special course in the chemical
laboratory of that institution. He then began the practice of
his profession, first at No. 112 East 59th Street, and in a few
months removed to No. 45 Bleeker St., was appointed a district
Physician to the New York Lying-in Asylum, and also acted as
attending physician to the "New York'* and the " Eastern **
dispensaries.
In January, 1869, he removed to Urbana, Champaign Co.,
Ohio, where an older brother was teaching in the New Church
Urbana University. A few months later he settled in the
neighboring town of Woodstock, where he resided more than
twelve years, building up a large practice and taking an active
interest in all affairs. He was a member of the Ohio State
Medical Society ; of the Champaign County Medical Society,
of which he was President 1880-82; member of the Central Ohio

Librarian of the Woodstock Library Association from its
foundation in 1874 until he removed from that place ; also
served as Clerk of the board of Education for several years.
Here in 1871 he married Louise, daughter of Jason Davis and
Mary (Comer) Taylor, who survives him together with two sons,
Justus Taylor, and Charles M., and two daughers, Louise (Mrs.
Harry L Abbott) and Nellie (Mrs. Percy E. Wright), a third
daughter, Mary, having preceded him to the other life.
In 1882, Dr. Herrick removed with his family to Columbus,
where better opportunities were afforded for the education of
his children. Here for a time he practiced his profession, but
later engaged in other work, devoting much of his leisure time
to genealogical studies.
About 1872 Dr. Herrick undertook the task of revising the
" Family Register," published in 1846 by General Jedediah
Herrick, and in 1885 published the fruits of his labors in the
" Herrick Genealogy," a volume of over five hundred pages,
which is a model of its kind. This he revised and brought
down to the year 1890, and was collecting material for a third
edition at the time of his death.
In 1888 he became a member of the Ohio Archaeological and
Historical Society, and in the same year was superintendent of
the department of History and Archaeology at the Ohio Cen-
tennial Exposition. In 1889 he was admitted to membership
in the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution,
in which he continued to take an active interest. He served
as historian for several years and edited the Year Books of
1898 and 1900. He was a member of the Benjamin Franklin
Chapter.
Dr. Herrick's abiding interest in genealogy led him to culti-
vate the acquaintance of other genealogists, and he gradually
drew together the nucleus of charter members, who, April 24,
1897, incorporated the ** Old Northwest " Genealogical Society.
He was chosen its first Secretary and Librarian and continued
to hold this office to the time of his death, during most of the
time acting also as editor of the Quarterly. From the time of
its organization this society continued to hold the chief place
in his interest, and he was tireless and unremitting in his efforts
in its behalf. He had a high appreciation of the value of
genealogical studies and believed that the time would come
when such appreciation would be more general.
Dr. Herrick was quiet and unassuming in manner. His
excellent memory and his gift for relating anecdotes made him
a most interesting conversationalist, while his deep sense of
justice and his interest in every phase of human life, made him
a good citizen in the community, and to a smaller circle, a valued
friend. His oldest brother wrote of him ; **As boy and man
he was blameless and adhered to a high standard of moral

conduct. This, rather than want of mental capacity, pre-
vented him from attaining that professional success which is
measured by pecuniary gain." He cared little for outward
show. The world of mind, of spirit, was to him the real world.
Such a mind as his found ready delight in the teachings of
Emanuel Swedenborg, which he accepted as truth in his early
manhood, and which were the foundation principles of his
unselfish and upright life.
At a meeting held May 4, the members of the Executive Committee
adopted the following
MEMORIAL:
Luaus Carroll Herrick, bom in West Handolph, Vermont, September
2, 1840 ; Private in the Eighth Vermont Volunteers ; Assistant Surgeon of
the Fourth U. S. Colored Cavalry; Doctor of Medicine, 1864; a] practicing

IN MEMORIAM.
ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER EDWARD TAYLOR.
Dr. Archibald Alexander Edward Taylor was born in Spring-
field, Ohio, August 27th, 1834. His father was Dr. Edward
Taylor of Cleveland. His grandfather and great-grandfather
came to Ohio from New Jersey in the year of "Wayne's Treaty,"
and settled in Ross County, naming the town Bainbridge in
honor of Commodore Bainbridge, the brother-in-law of Dr.
Taylor's great-grandfather.
His early ancestors came from England in 1692. His great-
grandfather on his mother's side was Colonel James Gordon
of Virginia, whose diary is published in Dr. Foote's " Sketches
of Virginia." Colonel Gordon, a Scotchman, was an elder in
the Presbyterian church under the celebrated Samuel Davies.
James Waddell, the blind preacher, of whom Wirt wrote
in "The British Spy" married Col. Gordon's daughter, the
sister of Dr. Taylor's grandfather. Dr. Waddell's daughter
married Dr. Archibald Alexander, the renowned Princeton
Professor, for whom the subject of this sketch was named.
At the age of eighteen months, his mother died, leaving him
to the care of his paternal grandmother and her daugher, two
godly women. When fifteen he entered Princeton College,
graduating in '54, at the age of nineteen, and three years later
completed his theological course in Princeton Seminary. He
was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Cincinnati, his
first charge being in Portland, Kentucky for two years. The
next six years of his ministry were in the First Church of
Dubuque, Iowa.
At the close of the war in 1865 Dr. Taylor became pastor of
the Bridge Street Church of Georgetown, D. C, and after
remaining four years there, he took charge of the Presbyterian
Church in Mt. Auburn, Cincinnati. In 1874 Dr. Taylor was
unanimously elected President of the University of Wooster,
where the most pronounced work of his life was accomplished.
In 1883 he resigned the Presidency of the University, but for
ten years retained his connection with the college as a Profes-
sor, as Dean of the Post Graduate Department and as the
President of the Board of Trustees.
In 1898 Dr. Taylor became Pastor of the Westminster
Church of Columbus, until failing health compelled him to
resign in 1899.
Dr. Taylor was twice married. His first wife was Miss Annie
Van Derveer whom he married in 1858, from which union one
son survives,>Dr. Van Derveer Taylor, a resident physician of
Cincinnati. In 1868 he married Miss Lucy Eleanor Munson of

Munson Hill, Fairfax Co., Virginia, to whom three children were
born: — Edward Munson Taylor, a lawyer of Columbus, whose
sudden death occurred Feb. 24th, 1893, at the age of thirty-
three ; Archibald Gordon Taylor, who died at the age of eigh-
teen in St. Louis, and Lucy Munson Taylor the only daughter,
who survives with the widow, residing in Columbus.
Dr. Taylor was a man of unique personality, fine talent,
poetic temperament, and impressive address. He held posi-
tions of honor and trust in the church, being a member of
Boards of the Church, of the Board of McCormick Seminary,
Chicago, and of the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny,
and a member of the General Assembly in 1869 when the
reunion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church
occurred.
He received the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Divinity
from Wooster in 1882, and the Degree of Doctor of Laws in
'83 from both Wooster and Princeton.
Dr. Taylor was a loyal member of the " Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution," in which he held the oflfice of State Chaplain
for some years. He was a member of the Old North West
Geneological Society, and in 1899 its President.
His pride of ancestors was pardonable in that he held the
well authenticated claim that the blood which flowed in the
veins of four Presidents, Washington, Madison, and the two
Harrisons, flowed in his veins.
The Death Angel is no respector of persons. In the even-
tide of April 23rd, 1903, just at the setting of the sun. Dr.
Taylor entered into life, and as the western sky threw back its
golden light, it was as a last earthly benediction on a strong,
rounded, and well-lived life.
His country has lost a patriot, and his friends — a friend.

SENATOR JOSEPH KERR.
By William A. Taylob, of Columbus.
Joseph Kerr, of Ross County, the sixth citizen of Ohio to be
elected to the United States Senate, was the seventh to reach
the Senatorial dignity, Stanley Griswold, of Trumbull, having
been appointed to the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Senator Edward Tiffin in 1809, by Governor Samuel Hunting-
ton, under whose patronage Senator Griswold, a man of great
brilliancy and high attainments, came to Ohio from the Terri-
tory of Michigan, where he had been Territorial Secretary
under Governor Hull, who subsequently surrendered Detroit
and his army to the British in the war of 1812.
At the first session of the Court of Quarter Session, held at
Manchester, Adams Co., Sept. 12, 1797, he was one of the
Justices, and again at the June session of 1798. In that year
Ross Co. was established.
Senator Kerr had a disputed title to a large tract of land
adjoining Chillicothe, of which he was dispossessed after years
of litigation, leaving him in straitened circumstances.
He took an active part in the new state movement, along
with Thomas Worthington, Edward Tiffin, William Goforth,
Gen. Nathaniel Massie, William Henry Harrison, Judge Francis
Dunlavey, Jeremiah Morrow and the other state-movement lead-
ers, and must have been a pungent public speaker judging from
the spirited replies of Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the Territorial
Governor to some of his public speeches.
On Feb. 2, 1807, Pres. Jefferson appointed Joseph Kerr of
Ohio, one of the Commissioners to lay out the Cumberland
Road.
The title of General came to Senator Kerr from the fact that
he served as Adjutant General of the State during the years
1809 and 1810, as well as in the war of 1812, as a Brigadier
General. He served as one of the senators from Ross, Frank-
lin and Highland counties in the Third and Fourth General
Assemblies, and as one of the representatives from Ross county
in the Seventh and Eighteenth General Assemblies, 1808-9
and 1819-20, respectively.
When the Legislature met in December, 1814, it was called
upon to select a successor to fill the vacancy from that date
(Dec. 10, 1814) to March 4, 1815, occasioned by the resignation
of Senator Thomas Worthington, to assume the office of Gov-
ernor.
There were eleven candidates for the position before the
Legislature, and it required four ballots to determine its choice,
as follows :

At the senatorial election for the full term on the 7th of
January, 1815, Benjamin Ruggles was elected by the same
vote, 42, and a single vote was cast for Senator Kerr, although
he was not a candidate. Senator Kerr doubtless had aspira-
tions to the full term, but being aware of the strong opposition
of personal as well as political enemies, which was augmented
subsequent to his election to the vacancy, he asked his friends
not to present his name to the joint convention of the Legisla-
ture.
From the initiation of the new state movement, until 1824,
Senator Kerr took a leading part in State affairs, and while he
was not one of the great political leaders of that period, he was
an energetic and untiring one, and a typical pioneer in all
respects.
Nowhere in the local records of Ross County, or the State,
were left any discoverable record of the nativity or early life
Senator Kerr, and when he left the State he appeared to have
passed entirely beyond the horizon of the biographer and his-
torian, so that only his record for thirty years in the Territory
and State was available. Beyond that, both toward the morn-
ing and the evening of his life, all was impenetrable.
The writer many years ago began the search for the lost data
of the earlier and later life of the Senator, but his researches
were resultless. Later he discovered that the venerable and
versatile Col. William E. Gilmore, of Chillicothe, author of a
charming biography of Governor Edward Tiffin,t was also pur-
suing a like line of inquiry, and to some extent they worked
together in unison, but to Col. Gilmore belongs the credit of
rescuing from apparent oblivion, the earlier and later events of
Senator Kerr*s lite. The result of his researches may best be
given in Col. Gilmore's own words :
** At length," said Colonel Gilmore, under date of March 21,
1903, "my inquiries and correspondence, began in 1886, for the
purpose of recovering something of the personal history of

66 Senator Joseph Kerr, [July.
General Joseph Kerr, a very early resident of Chillicothe, and
in his day a very prominent and important one, has met with
some success through the assistance of Mr. Henry Clay Carrel,
an eminent architect of 1123 Broadway, New York, who is a
son of the well-known Captain Hercules Carrel, formerly of
Cincinnati, and a great grandson of General Kerr.
" It has been strangely difficult to get information in regard
to this notable person, owing to many peculiar causes. In the
first place he himself was utterly indifferent as to whether his
fellow citizens or any others knew anything about him or not.
In the second place, while his correct name was Kerr, almost
every person who knew him spelled and pronounced it Carr,
and this fact gave infinite trouble to his descendents afterwards
in proving up title to a large land grant, made by the Republic
of Texas, to soldiers of its revolutionary war with Mexico.
" He was defeated in long litigation for that magnificent
farm just east of this city, known as the Watts farm, and his
defeat almost impoverished him, and greatly embittered him.
" He had been unjustly treated, he thought, in large contracts
for supplies to the army of the United States, operating under
General Hull. He had quarreled with Gov. Thomas Worth-
ington, to whose remnant of senatorial term he had been
elected by the General Assembly of Ohio, and finally he, with
his family, had made two or three changes of residence after
leaving Chillicothe in 1824, and if he ever wrote a single letter
back to any one here, I never could hear of it, although I have
made diligent search for such.
" And so * his trail ' was lost, and so completely lost that
even so intelligent, industrious and resourceful an investigator
as Col. W. A. Taylor, of Columbus, gave it up, and in his list
of Ohio Statesmen simply designates him as * The Lost Ohio
Senator.*
" Therefore, when I, this morning, received the documents
which enable me to give the salient points of General Kerr's
personal history, as herein given, from his great grandson, Mr.
H. C. Carrel, I was inclined to echo the old Greek's shout,
* eureka! eureka! '
" General Joseph Kerr was born of Scotch ancestry in Cham-
bersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1765, and was married in that city
to Nancy Daugherty, a young lady of Irish descent, in 1788.
He removed to Ohio with his young family * in the year 1792
(according to the statement of his son, James D. Kerr, who
was still living on a part of the homestead farm in Carrel Par-
ish, near Lake Providence, Louisiana, in 1887 — ^and I do not
know how much later), and settled on, and highly improved, a
large tract of bottom land, one mile below Chillicothe on the
Scioto River, but the title was disputed by a Virginian by the
name of Watts, who, after eighteen years of litigation, gained
the land from my father.*
Digitized by VjOOQIC
1908.] Senator Joseph Kerr, 67
"This date, 1792, must be wrong, for it is four years earlier
than the advent of Nathaniel Massie's party of original settlers
in this valley, or the occupancy of this region by any white
people. But certainly Kerr came very soon after Massie's party
did ; i. e., very soon after April 1st, 1796.
" I can myself remember that a lane, which led from the
northeastern part of this city, eastward to the race track on
the Watts farm, was known as * Carr's Lane.' The oldest
powder house was located upon it, near its eastern end.
" He was elected to the legislature as a representative from
Ross county in 1804. When Thomas Worthington resigned
his place in the United States Senate, in 1814, to accept the
governorship of Ohio, to which he had been elected, Mr. Kerr
was elected to fill out the unexpired part of his term, which,
however, only lasted from December 10th, 1814, to March 4th,
1815. At that time he and Worthington were decidedly * at
outs ' with each other, and I never could understand how and
why he was elected to succeed to Worthington's remnant of a
senatorial term. It may be that it was a peace offering from
the friends of the governor-elect in that General Assembly.
" Senator Kerr held a commission as brigadier general of
volunteers in 1812-1815, and is reported to have seen some
service in the field during the war, but I am not able to say
what or how much it was.
••In 1824 Kerr, with his family, left Ohio, intending to
remove to Mexico, but stopped at Memphis, Tennessee, and
having bought land near there, for a few seasons followed farm-
ing. But this location not proving satisfactory, he moved fur-
ther south and settled finally in Louisiana, a little below Lake
Providence, in what is now known as Carrel Parish. Here his
wife died in 1833, and he followed her to the grave in 1887.
" Nine children had been born to General Kerr and his wife
during their union. These were, in the order of their births,
named Aletha, Harriet, Chambers, Elie, Clara, Susan, Nathan-
iel, James and Joseph. I am unable to follow the story of
these children beyond the fact that Elie was appointed a West
Point Cadet about 1816, and that Joseph and Nathaniel early
enlisted in the Revolutionary army of Texas, and were both
killed by the Mexicans, under Santa Anna, at the asault and
capture of the Alamo.
" Both Joseph and Nathaniel were born here in Chillicothe,
as were also several of their brothers and sisters.
" In consequence of the confusion which always existed be-
tween the names, Kerr and Carr, great trouble ensued in set-
tling the identity of the two sons killed in the Alamo, and
securing the land grants which the Republic of Texas ^ave to
the personal representatives of her soldiers who were killed or
died in that war. Testimony was taken in the case here in
Chillicothe, notably the depositions of Dr. William Waddle

Senator Joseph Kerr.
[July.
and of his mother, Mrs. Nancy Mann Waddle, and of Colonel
James McLannburg."
After his return from Washington, as a means of self-support,
he purchased what was then known as the "Red Lion" Tavern
in Chillicothe, a two-story brick house, situated on the north
side of Water street, between Paint and Mulberry streets. It
was then the most fashionable hostelry in the town, and per-
haps the most fashionable one west of the Allegheny Mount-
ains. Here he entertained the State officers, members of the
Legislature, and other notabilities.
He changed the name of the tavern from the ''Red Lion" to
the " Scioto Ox," in compliment of his friend George Renick,
the pioneer stock raiser ot the Scioto Valley, and commemora-
tive of a huge steer of mammoth-like proportions which grazed
among his flocks and herds. A fairly executed picture of the
huge beast graced a swinging sign in front of the hostelry,
supplanting the tawney African Leo.
The following copy of an advertisement in the Scioto Gazette,
in 1816, is characteristic of the man and the times in which he
lived :
Farmer's Hotel.
Sign of the Scioto Ox,
(Chillicothe, Ohio.)
The eubscriber has determined to make his charges
correspond in future, with the prices of articles used in
a public house. His charges will be as follows : Horse
at hay and grain, or grain alone, the night, 33 cents ;
horse at hay alone, the night, 20 cents ; horse stabled
and fed once, 10 cents ; oats 20, and corn 25 cents, the
bushel, and stable or yard to feed in. Breakfast, dinner
or sapper, 20 cents. Lodging, IN CLEAN SHEETS,
10 cents ; at these prices the different items shall equal
those in any public house in the western country. His
pastures will be extensive and well enclosed; and
charges for keeping droves of horses or cattle, low. His
stable is capable of taking in fine teams ; his carriage
house is also large, and the house itself so constructed
and subdivided as to accommodate SEPARATELY, all
the grades of company he will entertain.
Assuring those who honour him with a call, that their
situation will be made as pleasant during their stay as
in any public house, he solicits a continuance of public
patronage. JOSEPH KERR.

He continued in the hotel business until 1821, and probably
amassed some wealth, with which he purchased his southern
holdings. Certain it is that he was previously in straitened
circumstances, and at one period, after being elected to the
State Legislature, he was imprisoned for debt, and thus pre-
vented from being present at the opening of the session. The
question of a member of the Assembly being privileged from
arrest and detention, upon civil process, during the sittings of
the body was raised, and he was released and took his seat.
Senator Kerr's daughter, Harriet, whom the Scioto Gazette, at
the time described as ^'amiable and accomplished" was married
at Chillicothe on the 24th of August, 1815, to Amaziah Davis-
son, a leading merchant of the place. The marriage ceremony
was performed by Rev. Robert G. Wilson, a Presbyterian min-
ister of Chillicothe. who subsequently became President of the
Ohio University, at Athens.
There is a dearth of personal remeniscences of Senator Kerr,
as the most of his contemporaries passed over the river almost
or quite half a century ago. Col. Gilmore remembers him only
as a very young boy. Through him comes one that is not only
characteristic of the early days but indicates that Senator Kerr
at that time did not possess that reverence for the Deity that
seems to have characterized the later years of his life.
An old lady, near the border of the century, whose whole
life has been one of beautiful Christianity, in giving some of
her recollections of Senator Kerr, said that he used to drive an
immense yoke of oxen, which he, or some one else for him,
had named Jesus and Christ, respectively. With a pious shud-
der she reverted guardedly to the number of times she had
seen the Senator, in her young girlhood, driving the animals
along the streets pulling a heavily loaded wagon, urging them
through the mudholes by name, accompanied by objurgations
that ox-drivers only know how to use with effect and fluency.
To her the remembrance is still a horror, relieved only by the
assurance that in his later years, her old friend had put Satan
and all his accompaniaments behind him.

A LETTER FROM "THE LOST SENATOR/'
Contributed by Winchssteb Fitch, Esq.
[The original of this letter is in the possession of Mr. Henry Clay Carrel, Architect,
of 1128 Broadway, New York City, a great-grandson of General Kerr.]
Chillioothb, 15th February, 1813.
Dbab Sib : — I have taken the libert}^ of asking your interest in procuring
a military appointment for Andrew Gilmore, the son of a poor honest man
of our neighborhood. I know of no young man (he is not more than 18 or
19) who has made better use of his time than this young man, and of none
in whom I have greater confidence as an honest, mdustrious one—and as
to Bravery, I am not afraid to stand his sponsor. I inclose you his first
intimation to me of a wish for such appointment, and confess that I did
not mention it then, lest I should lose iiis services in the Orleans trade.
Since that time he volunteered in Capt. Armstrong's Rifle Company under
Genl. Taylor, and was at the Genl's elbow at the Rapids. At tne time he
volunteered he could have had 60 dollars as a substitute, this he refused.
I am sorry that you and I should have reason of complaint against each
other and will put the issue upon this footing, that he who is most in fault
shall make a public acknowledgement of the wrong.
Would not those Indians that profess friendship and have to be fed at
the expense of Government be much better kept in the interior of the
country, than on the frontier where the whites are not able to distinguish
between friend and enemy ?
I am conscious that those Indians being on the frontier, will, in the
spring, occasion lives to be lost on both sides, where none would, were the
friendly Indians removed in and confined to certain interior bounds, where
no enemy could be expected.
I have killed my provision here, and have chartered a keel boat, built at
Hockhocking, Berthen 750 Barrels: in which and some boats I am about to
find a foreign market for 700 bbls. Beef 600 Pork and 2000 bbls. Flour and
purchase provision to the eastward in the spring to meet my contract.
This would not do, if Government wanted these articles here, but they are
known to be here and no attempt made at a purchase.
A little contract was made with me to break and quiet me, this did not
succeed. I have delivered flour for five Dollars less at Upper Sandusky
than any they have taken there in Public Teams or on Pack horses, and
still can send ofl" 2000 barrels. Mr. Davisson reached a market safe, and has
forwarded a remittance.
I am Dear Sir yours Respectfully

REPORT OF JAMES KILBOURNE
Agent for the
SCIOTO COMPANY.
Written In a blank book (without covers), unruled, 18 leaves, 84>^ closely written
pages, folded in the middle and indorsed like a document, as above.
We, James Kilbourne and Nath'l W. Little, being by resolve
and determination of the Scioto Company appointed Agents
for said Company, to explore the Territory of the United States,
northwest of Ohio [river] and to transact any other business
for said Company which we should deem for their benefit
Beg leave to Report the following description of the said
Territory from the Ohio River near the town of Wheeling
westward to the river Scioto. — also the business that we have
transacted in behalf of the Company, together with the bill of
expense which has accrued during the year.*
Report of James Kilbourne Agent for the
Ohio (Scioto ?) Company, to the said Company
respecting the northwestern territory.
From the Ohio River at Wheeling, as I passed on west
through the territory I first entered upon the tract of country,
belonging to the United States, called the seven Ranges, which
are seven Ranges of Townships,* This is a District by itself
and has a land office, which is kept at Steubenville, which place
is situated on the west bank of the Ohio twenty five miles above
Wheeling.
The whole of this tract from the Ohio to the Muskingum is
a very uneven country indeed, — much more so than I had con-
1. Payne Kilbourne, Esq., in his History of the Kilbourne Family says, that Mr. Kilbourne
in the winter of 1801-2, secured seven associates, who desired him to explore the
Ohio Country and if he thought expedient to purchase land for forty families.
Accordingly he started in the spring of 1802, evidently with Mr. Nath'l W. Little as
a companion. They traveled by stage from Gran by, Ct , to Shippensburg, Pa., forty
miles south-west of Harrisbure. Thence carrying packs they walked over the
mountains, probably through Bedford to Pittsburg, 150 miles; thence to Wheeling.
From there they traveled on foot through Ohio as this report relates.
The Sewn Ranges.
2. A portion of the Congress Lands, so called, being the first ranges ever surveyed by the
General Government west of the Ohio River. Surveyed in July, 1786, by Thomas
Hutchins, Geographer of the U. S., who ran tho first line in person. This is called
the " Geographer's Line" and began at the point where the Pa. State Line crosses
the Ohio river, and ran due west forty-two miles through Columbiana and Carroll
Counties, ending on the heights south of Sandyrillein Tuscarawas Co., about three
miles ea.<rt of Bolivar.
At each mile a post was set. Every six miles was a township comer. From these
comers surveyors ran ranite lines south to the Ohio River and east and west town
lines. On account of the hostility of the Indians very few townships were surveyed
in 1786. The next year the western boundary line was surveyed, eighty four miles
in length, south to the Ohio River at the south-east comer of Marietta Township in
Washington Co.

ceived — lying in sharp cobbling hills and irregular broken
ridges and very deep narrow valleys. These hills are not at all
stony, excepting in a very few instances, and are a light kind
of earth.
They have been repeatedly burnt over, probably every year
nearly, for ages, till there is not any mold or black soil of any
consequence on the ground, and the timber has become thin —
in many places it is almost all killed, and become open except
bushes. There is a great quantity of White oak timber and
very handsome, on this land. In the bottoms there are various
other kinds of timber, but White oak is the principal.
I consider this whole tract as a very poor country. It is
however in many places interspersed with creeks, many of which
are of considerable size, and on them are narrow rich bottoms.
There are but very few settlers in all this tract after you leave
the Ohio a few miles till you come near the Muskingum, except
upon the post road to Chillicothe, where a number have settled
along to keep tavern &c.
This bad district — the seven Ranges — is bounded east on the
Ohio ; south on the Ohio Companies purchase ;* west on Chilli-
cothe District and north on New Connecticut.*
Thb Ohio Company's Puhchase.
3. On July 23, 1787, the Board of the Treasury was authorized to contract with any person
or persons for a grant of a tract of land from the mouth of the Scioto River to the
western boundary of the Seven Ranges ; thence to the northern boundary of the
tenth township from the Ohio, [this point is in the western line of Londonderry
[Tp., Guernsey Co., three miles south of the N.-W. cor. of the Tp.l ; thence in a due
west line to the Scioto [this would be just above Bell Point in Concord Tp., Dela-
ware Co.] ; thence by the Scioto to the beginning.
On July 26, 1787, Cutler and Sargent wrote Congress stating that their oflTer was to pay
half a million when the contract was executed, half a million when the tract was
surveyed by the oflBcer of the U. S. and the remainder in six annual pavments.
When the second payment should be made the purchasers to receive a deed for so
much land as the million dollars would pay for. The purchasers were to enter
upon no land that was not paid for.
On the 27th of July, by resolution it was ordered that the Letter be referred to the
Board of the Treasury. The Board contracted with Cutler & Sargent as agents for
the Ohio Company of Associates for one million five hundred thousand acres, Oct.
27, 1787, and Congress on Apr. 25, 1792, confirmed the contract for so much of the
land as applies to the tract, oeginning where the western boundery of the Seventh
Range intersects the Ohio River, ( S. E. Cor. of Marietta Tp.. Washington Co.) ;
thence along the said river south-westerly to the western boundary of the fifteenth
Range ; (the S. W. Cor. of Boone Tp.. Lawrence Co.) thence northerly and along
said western boundary of the fifteenth range, (now the western line of Meigs and
Athens Co's.) till a line drawn due east to the western line of the Seven Ranges will
comprehend with the other lines of this tract 750.000 acres besides the lots reserved;
[In each Tp. Lot 16 for schools. Lot 29 for religion and Lots 8, 11, or 26 for future dis-
position oi Congress] thence to Seven Ranges and thence to beginning and also two
other tracts north of this east and west line once of 100,000 acres adjoining the Seven
Ranges and one of 214.285 to the west of the first. The remainder of the land named
in the original contract had been conveyed to the Scioto Co.

Muskingum.
On the Muskingum River at Zanesville, where the Licking
Creek falls in on the west side, the bottoms are rich and fine
but not wide, perhaps half a mile, but widen out more further
up towards the forks.
Immediately west of this bottom comes a succession of poor
broken hills, the same as on the east side, of a thin soil and
much burnt, which extends about sixteen miles to Jonathans
Creek* where the hills end, and upon this Creek above the hills
is a handsome rich bottom of considerable extent.
HOCKHOCKING.
From Jonathans creek twenty four miles to New Lancaster*
on the east branch of the Hocking is a delightful country, vari-
agated with moderate hills and dales, and on the Creeks the soil
is very deep, black and rich. Here are extensive large tracts
of level land and many open meadows and prairies covered with
grass, plum trees &c., particularly on the west side of Hocking'
opposite the town is a very large one, principally improved.
Scioto.
From Lancaster which is about fifteen or twenty miles above
the great range of hills, to the west is one uniform, level, rich
country.
It has a handsome variety of moderate hills and interspersed
with many tracts of open prairie or meadow : some of which
are small, others very large. Many of these openings are dry
land, and some wet and low.
The Ohio hills continue all along on the south quite to the
Wabash river. Where the Muskingum, Hocking, Scioto and
other riyers pass through them there are some flats, but very
narrow.
On the Muskingum the hills come entirely up to the river,
and at some places are very high, at other places widen out half
a mile perhaps.
Jonathan Cbeek.
5. Probably named for Jonathan Zane, rises in the north part of Perry Co., flows north
easterlv 18 or 20 miles across Muskingum Co., and empties into the Muskingum
River tnree miles south of Zanesvllle. The Indian name for the stream was Moxa-
hala. On the south branch of the Jonathan in Pleasant Tp., Perry Co., is a small
village bearing the Indian name.

7* Report of James Kilboume. [July,
On the Hocking the flats are not more than fifty rods wide
for many miles and in many places no bottoms at all.
The flats at the mouth of the Scioto are wider than either of
the others by far, but even there they are narrow for thirty
miles up. Thence they widen out by degrees till about from
forty to fifty miles up the Scioto, the level country from the
Hocking to the Scioto and thence to the Miamis westward
unites in one extensive opening of several hundred miles afford-
ing a vast prospect in the open parts, as far as the eye can
reach on all sides. Chillicothe stands on the Westerly side of
the Scioto at a great bend forty five miles from the Ohio. The
range of hills comes up in sight of the town on both sides and
one ridge passes even above the town on the west within half
a mile of the river. On the east side the whole range in a solid
column comes rather higher than the town, leaving the flats not
more than two miles wide. Above this all is open and the pros-
pect is unbounded.
Remarks upon Land, &c.
From Zanesville on the Muskingum to Lancaster on Hocking
took the opportunity of viewing and remarking upon Town-
ships Nos. 15, 14 (12 ?) and 16 in the Eastern Survey. Those
on the east of Hocking are good land but so much taken up as
not to leave a body sufficient for our purpose.
After spending sufficient time at Lancaster to get full infor-
mation respecting the lands in that vicinity, I proceeded to
cross and remark Nos. 14, 12, & 13 in the Southern Survey* and
east of the Pickaway Plains. I found it to be excellent land in
the main, but in my opinion too flat, and not sufficiently tim-
bered, there being a vast proportion of prairie and thinly
timbered land ; a very great part of which is so thin, that it
would be necessary to do but little more than girdle the timber
to fit it for wheat or any other crop. From the Pickaway to
Chillicothe, viewed and remarked upon Nos. 10, 8, 11 and 5,* all
of which like the last mentioned are not so well timbered as I
should wish, and particularly wanting in sugar maples, ash, and
white wood, which is necessary for sealing and clapboards.
Considerable many of the best sections on these townships
had been taken up, especially on the Scioto River. This is the
most thickly settled of any part of the country, land might
however be had a little back, but none near the river.
The Pickaway Plain itself is a high dry piece of ground,
suitable for any crop and very productive. When enclosed and
cultivated it is well covered with grass and good sweet feed.

Above the Pickaway Plains."
In my tour to the northern part of the Congress Lands" I
explored the Townships Nos. 9, 2, 4, 10, 3 and 11" in the North-
ern Survey, immediately above the Pickaway Plains. The
Country is in many respects like the south and east side. The
soil is richer in general but has many rich meadows, the timber
as timber, but rather better than upon the other side. Proceed-
ing towards the forks of the river the country grows better in
respect to the timber and the meadows [are] much dryer, so
as to be good land and the soil is very light, deep and rich, and
as the soil changed the timber is different.
I found here a great deal of Black walnut, Honey locust,
Hackberry, Whitewood, &c., which never grow on any but first
rate land.
After having fully explored these northern townships [I]
came to a conclusion to make our pitch in this division.
The Lands preferred are in Townships Nos. 10, 3 and 11."
This tract is situated on the eastern side of the Scioto and is
watered largely by Walnut Creek," a stream as large as Salmon
Pickaway Plains.
10. Three and one-half miles south of Clreleville. Pickaway Co., said to contain the
richest body body of land in Ohio. They are divided into two parts, the ereater or
upper plains and the lesser or lower one. The soil was very black when first culti-
vated. These plains are based on water worn sfravel and pebbles. The upper plain
is at least 150 feet above the bed af the Scioto lliver which pa^^es about a mile west
of them. Their form is elliptical about seven miles N. E. to 8. W. by three and one-
half to four miles. They were destitute of trees when visited by tne whites. The
fertility was such as to produce JOO bushels of corn or 50 bushels of wheat to the
acre for many years, bui they are now less productive.

The townships were numbered from the south to north. Tlie Ranges from east to

22 ranges of these lands, i. e., from range 16 to the Scioto River. From range 15 east
to the Seven Rangeii and the Ohio Company's Lands, the sales were made at

Brook in Granby, and the Bigbelly Creek," which is near or quite
as large as Farmington River at Farmington, both clear lively
streams of pure water as ever flowed from a fountain, with small
gravel, and in places large pebble stone bottoms.
Mill Seats on each of these streams may be had, but will
require considerable labour to build the dams, as the streams
are broad and the banks not of very hard substance.
On the Bigbelly is a good millseat as will appear on the map
and always water sufficient. There are a number of small
streams and many springs so as that the tract is usually well
watered for this Country considering that both the creeks run
entirely across the Township. But it is undoubtedly true that
no level land is so well watered as hilly lands.
Wells are easily obtained in all this Country 20 to 25 feet
being the usual depth, to obtain water, and loose easy gravel to
dig, and clear and good tasted water generally as any in the
world. The natural springs also are good water.
This Tract of Land in particular, is very rich in general ; it
is exceedingly so in the bottoms and flats. It has a great pro-
portion of level ground, it might be well perhaps if it was not
so much. But it has no ponds or marshes and where hilly, rises
and desends gradually, for a considerable distance, as half or
three fourths of a mile. In some places the hills are short and
sudden but not in many places. The variation by the best esti-
mation I could make from a level between hill and dale is about
80 feet, in some places 40 to 50, but few of the latter.
There is in this tract a thousand acres at least in one place of
the best clear meadow I ever saw in any place what ever, with-
out a tree or a bush in the whole extent, and the old grass and
weeds are burnt off every spring. The present growth, (which
is good stock hay, if made early) was in the lowest places higher
than a horse's back except where it was lodged down, and gen-
erally higher than my head sitting on my horse, to the topmost
spires.
It was so thick as to be almost impossible to force a horse
through it. A Mr. Spence and Mr. Little being with me, we
had to take turns in going before to break down a path, as a
horse would tire and tange [tangle ?] himself in a .small
distance.
This meadow is so dry as to be good plow land and fit to be
planted with corn any year with only plowing and fencing, and
for the latter purpose, there is a good forest of fencing timber
around it on all sides, so that it might be all enclosed without
drawing any rails two rods.
''•^——^—' Bigbelly.
16. The Big Walnut of FranUin Co., rises In the N. E. Corner of Delaware Co., flows 8.W.
for forty miles, where in the lower part of Franklin Co., it receives from the east a
stream called Black Lick, and just below from the west a stream called Alum Creek.
From this point for nine miles it is a large stream, commonly called Bigbelley.

The clear black mold in all this meadow and others of the
kind is at least three feet deep, and produce if kept clear of
weeds 70 or 80 bushels of corn per acre at a crop. This is fully
verified by the fields of corn growing on similar lands in the
vicinity I may say confidently therefore, that the statement is
within bounds. There are several other smaller pieces of sim-
ilar lands, some of which are wetter but will make good mowing
or pasture.
The soil of this land is in our opinion rather superior to any
of so great extent I have seen in all the Territory.
It is of various depths, from 6 inches on the highest hills to
three feet in the bottoms.
Upon the large Creeks the bottoms seem to have a soil almost
as deep as the bank of the streams, at least four or five feet.
The soil of the country in general in the bottoms is of a black
or dung colour, on the hills it is in some places of a light, in
others a dark chocolate colour.
The principal timber is oak making near one half of the whole.
Part of this is whiteoak perhaps half, and the other yellow, black,
and Spanish oak.
There is hard Maple, Hickory, Black walnut, ash, and White-
wood in abundance.
There is also Cherry, Butternut, Elm, Soft Maple, Buckwood,
some Beech and Honey Locust.
The undergrowth which is not thick, except in some partic-
ular spots is chiefly Spice bush, mixed with Pawpaw in all the
richest uplands.
Upon the thinnest upland, the underwood (where there is
any) consists of Boxwood, Hardbeam, Hickory sapling and
Hazelnut bushes.
But not an Alder of any kind have I seen beyond the Jonathan.
On the sides of the prairie are thousands of plum bushes,
which are very fruitful.
The timber in all this region is much better than it is further
south, and increasingly so as we go north ; yet not very heavy
but generally of a fine size, and straight, handsome : Its growth
is lighter by half than I had expected. But yet there are some
very large trees, esspecially in the bottoms. I have frequently
observed solid white oaks which will measure 12 feet in circum-
ference, many feet from the ground, and black walnut and white
wood equally large, or nearly so, and Button woods much
larger. But of the latter there are not many except in the
Bottoms.
Water.
The water of the springs on this tract is excellent, and the
Walnut Creek is in appearance as handsome, clear water, and
has precisely such a bottom, as Salmon Brook at Doctor Top-
pings. No wells have yet been dug.

78 Report of James Kilboume. [July,
The Navigable Waters to this Tract are, the Scioto on the
west, and the Bigbelly, which when there is water sufficient, is
boatable and very good for the business, entirely across the
Tract.
Plums and Crabapples are the principal natural fruit, of which
there are thousands of bushels to be found in any part of the
Country, and they are not only plenty but the plums are a fine
palatable fruit. I apprehend however, not very healthy.
I saw a vast quantity of grape vines, but few or no grapes.
They do not bear in the woods especially in the rich bottoms.
On the hills and where it is open they are said to bear well.
I freqently saw vines that measured from 6 to 8 inches in
diameter.
It is a mistaken idea that new settlers make wine from grapes
in the woods. No such thing is done. But the native grape (and
the native grape is as good as any) is cultivated here in great
perfection. It is also a mistake that wheat cannot be cultivated
here for a first crop, or that the ground must not be plowed to
raise it.
So far is this from being the case, that they sow wheat on all
their upland for their first crop. They plow the land once, sow
the wheat, and harrow it in well and they get for a crop from
30 to 45 bushels per acre.
It would not answer in the flats as the straw would lodge
down before the season for earing.
There is at least one stone quarry on this tract and plenty of
clay in many places for brick &c. There are also some lime
stones, but not many, nor any other kind of stone on the tract.
There are three or four Settlers on this land, but none have
purchased, except one." Mr. Gibson on the south tier of sections

be cut by order of Congress, from the forks and a great dis-
tance to the N. W., to Lancaster, and Zanesville, and then on
to the eastward, may be brought through No. 10 in a direct
course.
The nearest trading town is at present Franklinton at the
forks 14 miles above. But Chillicothe is the best and will be so
for a considerable time yet, 35 miles below.
There is now another town building on the west side of the

This country along the Scioto appears to be well situated for
trade and the prospects in that respect are good for the future.
It will be found rather difficult I apprehend to obtain mill
seats sufficient in many parts of this country, below the forks
and where mills must be had ; and a considerable expense to
support them. There are however some very good spots.
It will for the present be as much as twelve miles from these
townships to a mill of any kind whatever.
In all this country we have not seen a Pond or sunken Marsh
nor is there a Section or the tenth part of one that I could see,
but that can be cultivated, nor so wet but that it will bear herd's
grass or redtop.
From Township No. 10 to the Indian line is little more than
forty miles in a direct line, but there are no towns of Indians
near that line.'*
When stating respecting the grape vines I might have added
that a company in Kentucky have a vineyard of 200 acres, which
answer (?) an excellent purpose, and rights in it sell very high,
as they pay a large interest.
There are a number of vineyards begun in the Territory, but
not brought to great perfection as yet, though doing very well.
Of the Fever.
Respecting the healthfulness of this country, I have to
report : That it is in fact sickly in a considerable degree. At
the first settlement it was thought to be very healthy there being
only a few cases of the ague and fever.
But in the fall of 1800 a billious fever took place of which
many were sick in the lowest situations, and some died. In the
summer and autumn of 1801, the fever made its appearance
again with more terror. Almost all were sick both in the towns
and country so that it became difficult in many places to get
tenders for the sick. In many instances whole families were
down at a time and many died and the fever continued long
Westfall, the town being laid out by the owner of the laud, Abel Westfall. As the
laud was then in Hamilton CJo.. the plat of the village was recorded at Cincinnat.
Westfall was for some time considered the rival of Chillicothe, but its location proving
unhealthy its growth was stinted and little by little it went to decay. See Hist, of
Franklin and Pickaway Cos., p. 322.

80 Report of James KUboume. [July.
upon some, some were sick three months, some 4, 5 or even 6
months before they recovered their health and strength entirely.
In the country around the Pickaway Plains, where are the lowest
bottoms, or rather the most frequent wet Prairies, or Meadows ;
and where the people have uniformly settled in the low bottoms
by the side of the creeks the fever prevails more generally and
violently, than in any other part of the Scioto Country.
But there was no part of the country exempt from the malady
from the Great Miami to the Muskingum River.
In the town of Chillicothe it prevailed very generally both
seasons but was not so mortal as in the country where they have
all settled in much lower land. Not more than 7 or 8 died in
Chillicothe during the two seasons it is said, while in the coun-
try that settled along the Scioto, taking in a distance of twenty
miles square, forty or rising died : making in all, with those in
the town about 50 persons that have died of the fever, since it
appeared in the country.
The settlements above the forks of the river where there are
none of the open meadows to poison the air with their rotting
vegetation have been perfectly healthy during all the sickness
and still continue so ; which seems to show that the disorder is
a local one produced by the effluvia that is exhaled from those
numerous Prairies, at the season when they began to lodge down,
and rot and putrify by the sun and shower. The fever never
takes place until after this vegetation is considerably perished
so as to make the meadows steam with a noxious effluvia.
There were not more than seven or eight effected with the
disorder this season in the town or till I left there ; one infant,
only, had died, and not more than three or four persons closely
confined who were sick, and it is not so general or so violent in
the country as the two other seasons. None have died of it
this year though many are sick, and those who are taken down
get about again in a much shorter time, as two or three weeks.
It is generally believed to go hardest with new comers, the
first time it attacks them, and having had it severely once, they
do not have it so hard again, though they may have turns of it
every year. Many have stated to me that they have had it every
season while others again (but not so many) that they have been
there four or five years and have had nothing of it, or little if
anything.
In my journey through new settlements in the bottoms north
of Chillicothe, for 30 miles or more, I was in at many cabins
and found more or less sick or complaining at almost every one.
In different families one, 2, 3 or 4 were complaining, not that
they were all confined, but much indisposed and low spirited.
We were every where told that the disease had been much
more favorable this season than heretofore. But these people
generally live in overflowed bottoms, or in the midst or on the

side of the Prairie and often in cabins with no floor but the
ground.
What seems to me strange is that the Indians, who were
natives of this country are subject to the disorder as the whites.
Of the few who remain in the Territory some are now sick with
it, and they say it has always been so and that they have often
been obliged to move back from the meadows and bottoms,
where they always live, into the woody upland, during the
season to escape it.
It appears from this and many other circumstances that those
who live in and about these meadows, will be sickly more or less
at that particular time of the year, till by improvement they
shall subdue the lands with crops, and get stock sufficient to
<:onsume the growth as it rises ; and after that it seems reason-
able to suppose, it may be healthy as well at that time of the
year as at others.
The air of the country in general seems to be pure at this
season as any other when one is out the scent of these Prairies :
but when near them the air seems all impregnated with the
noxious effluvia to a considerable distance.
Col. Worthington, who is a gentleman of first rate informa-
tion, informed me that where families were careful in their
manner of living and housing themselves from the damp air
and fogs ; they generally avoid the fever. That many families,
particularly his own and Mr. Windships, by prudence had almost
wholly escaped. And he is of the opinion that the Country,
when a little more opened and those vast meadows improved,
by planting, mowing and feeding, so that the immense vegeta-
tion does not putrify on the ground and be wafted about in the
air will become as healthy as any country whatever and many
other gentlemen gave the same as their opinion.
He observed to me that many miles further south as soon as
we left the flats and meadows and got into the coblehills the
air was perfectly clear and the few settlers healthy, and as I
returned towards home through that quarter I found it as he
had said.
But there are others again who seem much discouraged and
think it will be sickly at this season of the year for a long time
to come, but these are not people of the most correct informa-
tion, and they live very badly themselves in new and low
situations.
It appears to me indeed by the best observation I could make,
that where the lands are most open and cultivated and the Praries
dry, the disorder is less severe. But where the river overflows
frequently and where the meadows lay low and uncultivated it
is highly probable it will be bad for some time yet for those
who are so imprudent as to settle in them ; and nothing is more
frequent than to see a man, to save himself the labor of digging
a well, or clearing a garden spot, strike him up a cabin on a river

bank, in a bottom so low that he will have to move his family
out to a hill at every high flood, and build a camp till the water
falls, and then go back.
One man related to us such an account of himself and at the
same time told me he had had the fever every year since he lived
there and was sick when I was at his house.
Yet he continued to live in the same situation with a high
pleasant hill within 60 rods of his house.
This was at the mouth of the Bigbelly Creek, so called. Mr.
Gibson who lives on town No. 10 which I have preferred has
been there these two years with a housekeeper and three or four
hired men and boys and has had nothing of the disorder ; but
he has a good cabin and lives prudently and he had but one
prairie of about 80 acres near him, and that he got immediately
under cultivation."
The U. S. Militaby Lands.
19. Appropriated by act of Congress, June 1, 1796 to satisfv claims of soldiers in the
Revolutionary War : Beginning at N. W. Cor. of the original Seven Ranges ; [Three
miles east of Bolivar, Tuscarawas Co.l thence south 50 miles ; thence west to the
Scioto River ; thence up said river to the Greenville Treaty Line : thence northeast-
erly with said line to old Fort Laurens, on the Tuscarawas River [near Bolivarl :
thence due east to place of beginning. Including about 4,000 sq. miles or 2,560,0(K)
acres. These land were surveyed into townships five miles square .and again into
quarter townships containing 4000 acres each.
2 1
These quarter townships were numbered
8 4
The ranges and township numbers were as in the Congress Lands.
The townships numbered from south to north and the ranges from east to west.
The office for the sale of the nine western, most of the twenty ranges was at Chllli-
cothe.
Why the Company did not buv the lands here recommended but did buy in the U. 8.
Militarv District, Tp. 2, 8 ana 4 of the 20th range, we are unable to discover.
It is possible that this land was partly sold before they were ready to make their pur-
chase, and it is possible that tne fear of the fever drove them to higher ground or
that the owners of the 4000 acre tracts in the U. S. Military District gave them better
terms.

should be placed Just above the words *' Powers Settlement," as the so called "Yankee
Settlement" was at that point. See KUbourne's Beport of 1808 in this number. The

THE REPORT OF JAMES KILBOURNE, AGENT OF
THE SCIOTO COMPANY FOR THE SUMMER
OF 1803.
This is a blank book of 8 leaves with paper cover. It is folded and indorsed as above. ;
James Kilbourne, agent for the Scioto Company, having
attended to the several objects in the western country for
which he was appointed begs leave to report as follows :
Tuesday, Apr. 5, 1803. Was prevented from beginning my
journey as was expected, by having to meet the committee and
secretary which took up the whole day before the business
could be arranged.
Wednesday 6th. LeftSimsbury and proceeded to Hartford
to get the specie changed for bills of credit, procured the
exchange of Hartford and Middletown notes with much dffi-
culty and one dollar discount, put up at Pratts.
Thursday 7th. After finishing the business which was not
completed yesterday, set out on the journey. Dined at N.
Haven and obtaining an exchange of the bill on that bank, part
in gold at the bank and part by private hands in bills of the
United States, making a discount of 25 cents, left N. Haven in
the evening, and put up at Milford.
Saturday 9th. Arrived in N. York and put up at Dr. Stan-
berry's.* Spent Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday till 10
o'clock here, and having got the necessary business arranged,
set out for the westward.
Thursday the 21st, (Apr.) Arrived at Pittsburg after a very
unpleasant journey, on account of the snow storm, and other
disagreeable weather.
Friday the 22nd. Proceeded directly to the business of
obtaining mill irons, blacksmith's tools, iron, etc., etc., for part
of which I had to go to the works and wait to have them made.
Was detained here until Thursday the 26th, five days, and
closely employed to get all things in readiness.
Having this morning got all the heavy articles on board a
Cincinnati boat, to be delivered by the Master (Mr. Neader),
to the care of Mr. William Russell,* at Alexandria, at the mouth
of Scioto, at 10 o'clock I left Pittsburg and proceeded on my
journey. The day following at Wheeling I fell in company
1. Dr. Jonas Stanberrv, a speculator in western lands, a member of the Scioto Com
pany, who afterwards settled in Zanesville. He was the father of Henry Stanberrv, AUy.
Gen. of the U. 8. uhder Johnson: of William Stanberry, M. C, from Licking Co., 0.,
1928-82, and of Charles Stanberry of Delaware Co., O.
2. Wm. Russell was tavern keeper at Alexandria. On Dec. 5, 1801, he petitioned the
court for relief because his rival was selling liquor without a license. On Mar. 1798 one of
the same name was a Grand Juror at the Session of the Court in Manchester, Adams Co.
We find that a Wm. Russell and Ruth Heneman were married Aug. 7, 1798 by John Belli,
Esq. He moved to Illinois in 1825, became a Probate Judge there and died in 1847.

88 Report of James Kilboume. [ July^
with two gentlemen from Litchfield, who accompanied me
through the wilderness to Zanesville where we parted. Found
no hay for the horse in all the hill country from St. Clair to
Zanesville: had to keep the horse wholly on oats which
foundered him in a degree. Put up here from Friday evening
the 29th till Wednesday morning. May 4th, when he became
able to proceed on the journey. Had been hindered here four
entire days.
On Wednesday, May 4th left Zanesville in company with
Wm. Wells, Esq.,' who went with me one days journey on the
Licking road. Passed all the rest of the wilderness alone to
Franklinton, had a heavy north-east snow storm all the way^
and to swim my horse through two rivers, by which I was com-
pletely wet from head to foot as possible, the weather at the
same time quite cold. The storm ended with a sharp frost.
On Friday the 6th, at evening arrived at Franklinton very
wet, cold and much fatigued. Put up at James Scott's, Esq.,
the man who had the care of survey for the Dunlap Section.
Saturday 7th. Left Franklinton, went up Whetstone, and
spent this and the two following days in the woods viewing
our lands, and choosing out a place most favorable for our first
improvement. Returned to Franklinton Monday evening the
9th, and found there the Wm. Morrisons, who had arrived there
the evening before, being the 8th, and put up with him at Mr.
Scott's.
Tuesday the 10th. Procured as many articles of supplies as
could be had at a fair price at Franklinton, and in the after-
noon of the same day, secured a boat with some hands of Mr.
Warren (a New England man), who with the Wm. Morrisons,
put off down the river to Chillicothe for the rest of the sup-
plies. Took a horse and went on myself by land, and by
reason of some hindrance by Mr. Warren's hands the boat did
not arrive till I had everything procured and ready to load,
although I had to procure the axes, chains, etc., etc., to be
made after I arrived. Found all produce much raised by the
opening of the port of N. Orleans, which had been announced
about 10 days when I got into the country. Bought here the
following articles, viz.: A smith's bellows, 300 cwt. bar iron
with some steel. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Also 1 barrel of whiskey, 80
bushels of wheat and many articles of provision as per bills,
which see, etc., etc.
8. This was doubtless the founder of the present town of Wellsville, Columbiana Co.
In 1795 James Clark of Washington Co., Pa., purchased of Robert Johnson, one of the
government surveyors, 804 acres of land and setued on it.
In 1796 he transferred half and in 1798 the other half to his son-in-law, William Wells,
who entered upon the improvement of the lands on which in 1820 he laid out in the pre-
sent town.
Gov. St. Clair appointed him July 16, 1797, a justice of the peace, his jurisdiction
extended from the Muskingum on the west to Lake Erie on the north.
He was judge of the County Court at Steubenville until 1803. He died in April 1852,
aged 88.

Thursday the 12th of May. Arrived at Chillicothe, and
Tuesday the 17th, got all on board the boat which started just
before evening and I myself set out for Franklinton. When
we came to the mill it had broken, and the wheat was not
ground nor could it be short of a week and we had to leave it,
and go on.
Wednesday the 18th. At evening got back to Franklinton,
put up at Scott's, while the boat was getting up proceeded to
collect what I previously found could be had here.
Bought of Mr. Lucas Sullivant, 30 bushels of corn, 15 do.
oats, 80 lbs. pickled pork, 40 do. ball soap, etc., etc.; of Mr.
Domigan, 50 lbs of bacon, of Mr. Fleniken, 112 do.; of Mr.
Morehead and others, 10 bushels of potatoes, and of sundry
persons, sundry articles of provisions, etc. Also bought of
Wm. Lyle, two cows with calves, one of which proved diseased
of the horn, etc., and was taken back and another given in
exchange, and a better one, I giving one dollar to boot.*
When the boat got up I procured a team to carry up part of
the load and went to the ground. On my return to Franklin-
ton at this time from Chillicothe found Case, Bristol and L.
Pinney at Scotts, who had been in about half and hour. When
they had refreshed they went up the river with me, and went
immediately to work, while I returned to meet the boat, etc.,
at Franklinton, leaving them to board at Esq. E. Brown's till
I returned.'
Then bought of E. Brown, Esq., a yoke of oxen, $50, a large
cow without calf at $11.00, and got him to make us a plow.
6. Thomas Moorhead at the session of Court held Sept. 8, 1808. was appointed one of
three viewers to lay out a road to Springfield, Greene Co., who on March 24, 1804, reported
the road laid out to Darby Creek. At the session of Jan. 7, IbOl, he was appointed viewer

Thursday the 26th. Left Capt. Carpenter's, and viewed the
upper section of ours, and found it better than I had expected.
It is indeed good farming land and will afford a plenty of good
pasture and mowing ground. Returned very late in the even-
ing to our own home.
From this kept at work v.ith hands till Pinney and brown,
(Brown ?) which was on Sunday the 29th, in the morning pre-

estate and Feb. 12, ISOl. started for Ohio with his family of ten grown children.
About twenty young men who were going to see the country accompanied him. They
travelled in wagons and sleds to Pittsburg, tlience down the Ohio River in flat boats to the
mouth of the Scioto, thence in keel-boats to Franklintou and by canoes up the Whet«-tone
(Olantangy) to the place five miles below the present town of Delaware where Hiraia R.
Carpenter afterwards lived, arriving May 1, 18tU.
They encted a rude cabin and Capt. Carpenter be^n prospecting, while his compan-
ions put in a crop, and raised five hundred bushels of com. During the summer he built
a substantial log house. Mrs. Carpenter died Aug. 7, 18<j3, the first death In the county.
Capt. Carpenter died Sept. 9, 1814 In con.sequence of an injury received while riding in the
night time. Seveti children survived him.
Thomaa and Avery Powers came out with Carpenter, their families coming in the
fall, settled on hdjoiningfarm. Thomas was killed at the battle of the Thames and Avery
died after a few years. His son Benjamin was at one time President of the First National
Bank of Delaware.
The following spring, (Apr. 1802), the settlers were Joined by Thomas Collar from
I*ranklin Co., Pa., and Josinh McKinnie from the same region.
They were men of wealth. Collar bought the 4(K)0 acre.-*. Sec. , of »—
Township, and built near the present residence of K. G. Taggcrt. He had sons, Thomas,
R. M.. and J. F. McKinnie located on the other side of the river opposite Carpenter. He
was the first As.sociate Judge of Delaware Co.
Ralph, Watson, and George Case and George QllUee who were all related followed soon
and settled on the Collar Section.
In the spring of 1804. Aaron. John and Ebenezer Welsh, (brothers), and Capt. Leonard
Monroe from Chenango Co., settled in Carpenter's neighborhood.

on the price of the improvements with Mr. Vance as agent for
Mr. Dayton."
Monday the 30th. Began on King's lot to finish the clearing
they had begun and to add to it for a corn field as we could
sooner get a larger piece here to plant, than where we first
began.
Put all hands to the work and kept with them myself what
time I could get till I had to go down the river, to get up the
flour and other supplies which had been left behind.
Wednesday June 1st. Began to plow for corn. Worked
with the hands to help clean the ground before the team, by
burning brush, etc. The next day pursued the same business
till I found the cow we had bought of Esq. Brown to be sick
then attended to her till she died, this was in a few hours.
After my second trip down the river to Chillicothe on my
return to Franklinton, Wednesday morning, June 8, heard of
my brother in Licking wilderness, went out to meet him and
on Thursday the 9th, at evening, conducted him safe to our
cabin. On Wednesday the 15th, finished planting our corn,
potatoes, etc.
After losing the cow mentioned above, had an opportunity
to purchase another very good cow and calf, and finding milk
cheaper than any other living concluded to take her, and
Brother Lemuel bought one for himself.
On my return home bought another barrel of whiskey, and
sundry other supplies, and sent up by a wagon, as per daily
journal, which see for all particlars, transactions not herein
mentioned.

THE CONNECTICUT RESERVE.
By Hobace L. Moore, Lawrence, Kansas.
The New England hive was an extremely prolific one and
sent out its swarms to the West with great frequency. The first
line in the invasion of the forest and the domain of the Indian,
was then, as has always been the case since, that ubiquitous
company of hunters and trappers who climbed every mountain,
and followed to its source every stream that flowed from the
forest. These lived largely among the Indians and from
necessity maintained as amicable relations with them as it was
possible to maintain. These hunters and trappers were the
first explorers of the regions stretching away to the unknown
and apparently illimitable West. Their stories of more fertile
lands and more hospitable regions were a constant lure to the
agriculturist who followed after, clearing away the woods and
making permanent settlements. The progress of the latter
class was slow but it was constant.
About 1730 iron was discovered at Salsbury, on the west line
of Connecticut, and a quiet little boom drew several settlers
from Massachusetts and Connecticut to that point. From 1740
to the time of the Revolution there occurred a very consider-
able movement from the older colonies to the north into Ver-
mont. I have not been able to find out what they went there
for. At about the same time the overflow from Massachusetts
and Connecticut reached the Hudson on the west. They
settled a place in the Dutchess Co., Colony of N. Y., called
"The Nine Partners." There was another geographical puzzle
called "The Oblong." Of course our modern maps know
nothing of these, and when you trace a party to "The Oblong"
you might as well give him up as a lost community. That part
of the state of New York cast of the Hudson was settled
largely by New England people together with an element that
had followed up the Hudson from its mouth.
In this way they went on step by step as new tracts of land
were opened for settlement. The opening of the Genesee
country about Rochester, N. Y. was followed by the settlement
of the Holland Purchase comprising Cattaraugus, Chautauqua
and perhaps other Counties of Western N. Y. In 1798 the
Connecticut Reserve in North East Ohio was surveyed and
sold by the State to the Connecticut Land Company. There
were 3,300,000 acres of land sold at 36 cents per acre, l^'rom
the year following the completion of the survey, emigrants,
almost exclusively from Connecticut and Massachusetts, came
in and began the settlement of the Reserve. A roll call of
the early settlers of Mantua, O., sounds like calling the roll of

the inhabitants of Southwick, Mass., and Suffield, Conn. We
had Harmons and Sheldons, and Skinners and Winchells.
There were Pinneys and Phelps. We met Fosters and Chap-
mans, Hurds and Atwaters, Reeds and Canfields.
The route traveled by most of the Pioneers crossed the"~]
Hudson at Fishkill, thence through Carlisle, Pa., to Pittsburg
and thence north-west to the Reserve. From six weeks to two
months were ususally spent in making the joiirney. A wagon
or cart drawn by horses or oxen was the only means of trans-
portation. These people were farther from the base of supplies
in point of time, than the forefathers were when they landed
at Plymouth. They were almost as isolated and had to be as
self-supporting at Robinson Crusoe on his island. It was a
New England community. They brought with them the habits
and customs ot their native land, so that I am impressed with
the idea that a man born on the Connnecticut Reserve 75 years
ago, who grew to manhood there, has a much better notion of
New England life during the colonial period, than any living
man of New England can have.
To give an idea of the Connecticut Reserve architecture I
will quote from the diary of Elias Harmon of Mantua, O.,
born in Suffield, Connecticut.
July 1, 1799. Began to cut logs for our house.
July 2. Put up and moved into our house.
July 3. Got timber for the floor.
July 4. Laid the floor.
You see, now the house was done. Elias had married
Sabrina Gillett, and the honeymoon was spent traveling in an
ox cart from Suffield, Conn., to the promised land, 'fiiis was
the new house in which the bride was to charm her husband
with her skill in housekeeping. A hundred years has changed
the face of the world. I am afraid some of our modern col-
lege-bred girls would hesitate if any such Elias were to make
a few pointed remarks touching their heart and hand. This
Elias was not so bad either. He was a leading man in the
community. He was the 1st United States Marshal and then *
one of the Judges of the court. *J
I have dim and indistinct recollections of a log house, better
than this one just mentioned, because it was built a few years
later. It was 20x24 feet, and built of hewn logs, some 12 to
14 inches in diameter. It was divided into three rooms below
and was all one above. The fire place and chimney were of
stone while the chimneys of the earlier houses were of sticks
covered with mud. There was a crane with hooks for the kettles
and a Dutch bake-oven for the bread. The andirons and fire
shovel were hammered out by the blacksmith. I saw that old
shovel a few year ago. It is all iron. The handle is about 4
feet long, with the blade perfectly flat and perhaps 8 inches
square. They used to call it a "slice." The dints of the
Digitized by VjOOQIC

blacksmith's hammer are still as plain on that old shovel as
the letters are on his gravestone.
These people found the forest their one implacable foe. By-
cutting down the trees the sunlight was let in, but still there was
no ground that could be plowed. A little wheat or rye was
hacked in among the stumps and in this way the bread ration
was provided. The rifle of the pioneer had to be depended
upon in a large measure to supply meat for the family. Every
house had its spinning-wheels, a little one and a big one. The
first was for the linen and the other for wool. There were
swifts and reels and looms where the women of the household
made the cloth with which the family was clothed.
It was a life of unremitting toil both indoors and out. The
most rigid economy had to be observed. The people were
practically without money. They had nothing to sell except
the furs and pelts of animals infesting the woods. Notwith-
standing all this, these pioneers built school houses and
churches — log ones. They open roads and where no fords was
convenient they built bridges. The whip saw and hand mill
or mortar came first and then were replaced with the water mill.
The boys and girls of these families early in life, were,
taught to lead a helping hand in the labor of the household.
They didn't know as many things as our 20th Century boys
and girls know, but they knew how to do things. If a little
boy wanted a sled ur a cart it never entered his head that he
could go and buy one. There was but one way out for him.
Whatever he wanted, he had to make. It was a very young
boy that did not know of some black ash that, cut at the
proper height and split down through the root, would make a
good pair of sled runners. If a young pair of steers were to
be broken, the boys knew exactly how to make a yoke for
them. They could make and bend the bows, cut the key
holes and make keys to fit them. They could make an ax-helve
or a flaxbreak. They were handy with a draw shave, could rive
shingles and put the chime-hoop on a barrel.
The girls were just as efficient in the house. Did anybody
ever hear of one that couldn't sew or spin ? They could knit
too. If you would give one of these old time girls half a
chance, she would "knit up the raveled sleave of care" or
make hose enough for the fire company.
The town meeting was the business meeting of the commun-
ity. At first the boys went to listen and then they learned to
submit a few sensible remarks on the mellowing of occasion.
Here they learned their first lessons in the practice of govern-
ment. This was the kindergarten of politics. The lessons
learned there were the best ones. They were lessons in Demo-
cracy that never should be forgotten.
The last time I was in Ohio, I went to the old church, but
the old folks were not present. When I inquired after them
Digitized by VjOOQIC

by name, I was told they were on the hill. I found them there
in long rows. The pioneers of the Connecticut Reserve are
all gone.
" Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault,
If memory o'er their tomb no trophies raUe."
It is true that no rust-covered mail, or hatchment of heraldry
hangs over the last resting place of these pioneers, but their
trophies are greater than these. The sons of these men have
girdled the lands with railroads and flecked the sea with their
ships. These boys born in the log cabins of Ohio have led
great armies to battle and victory. The pulpits and courtrooms
of the country are resonant with the sound of their voices, and
in the halls of Congress they are shaping the destinies of the
nation. New England should feel proud of these sons of the
Western Pioneers.

RECORD OF MARRIAGES IN ROSS COUNTY, OHIO.
Ross county was established August 20, 1798, having been
part of Adams county from July 10, 1797, and before that, part
of Hamilton county.
The entries are nearly all in the handwriting of the different
Justices, and it was evidently their custom to make the entries
whenever they happened to be at the county seat.
No records can be found previous to April. 1803.
Where the previous marriages were recorded is not known.

Stocking Ancestry ^ The-—C<mijorisina the Descendants of George Siockina, Founder
of the American Family, Edited and published by the Kev. Charles Henry
Wright Stocking, D. D. The Lakeside Press. 1903. Cloth, 8vo., pp. 205.
Copies may be purchased of the editor, at Vincennes, Indiana.
The Stocking family are said by the editor to be of East Anglian origin,
and to date from the time of the Domesday Survey — but of this he gives no
sufficient evidence ; his reference to the Hundred Rolls is interesting— but
again, we see no proof of descent.
That George Stocking, the founder of the family in America, came from
the premier courts in East Anelia we do not doubt; still, no evidence is
given of the date or place of his oirth.
As a contribution to American genealogy the book is valuable, and worthy
of its learned editor. A copy should be found in all public libraries havine
any pretense to a genealogical section. The editor is a member of The ** Old
Northwest" Genealogical Society. H. W. W.

Kay, State Printer. 1902. 8vo, half russia, gilt edges, pp. 22.
This brochure contains a complete history of the origin and development
of the Seal and Coat of Arms and Flag of the State of Pennsylvania, from
the earliest colonial times down to thepresent time. It is profusely illus-
trated, some of which are in colors. We congratulate the author on pre-
senting the subject in such interestinc form, and the printer and binder on
the elegant manner in which they nave done their work. The work is
indeed a credit to the great State which has issued it. — L. C. H.
Qeneohgy of the Waldo Family. A record of the Decendants of Cornelius Waldo
of Ipswich, Mass. From 1647 to 1900, Compiled by Waldo Lincoln, A. B.,
2 vols., 8vo. pp. 1121. Price, $10. Worcester, Mass., 1902.
These substantial and elegant volumes contain the carefully investigated
records of a family once prominent in New England. The compiler appears
to have traced everv male descendant of the American immigrant ancestor,
and to have incluaed, also, greatly to the enrichment of the works, the
names and births of all children and grand-children of Waldo women.
More than 1000 family names are indexed under the first eight letters of
the Alphabet, A-H, inclusive. In addition to a very painstaking and
detailed account of the private life of the persons named in these volumes,
there are many interesting items, illustrative of the local hfe and early con-
ditions in the New England colonies.
Among the many excellencies of this work, we call attention to the
unusually complete system of references by which apparently every state-
ment can be readily verified. The authorities include not only town
records, church records, wills, deeds, geneologies, collections of epitaphs,
histories, historical collections of various states, but also newspaper articles
and obituaries, gravestones, family bibles, and very numerous private
records of individuals whose names and addresses are fully given. Another
noteworthy feature is the remarkably elaborate index which fills 238 pages,
naming every individual separately, and with full middle names; all
married women are indexed under both their maiden and married names.
The index of places contains the mention of 122 localities in Ohio, many of
them appearing more than once in the course of the work.
We have seldom examined a genealogical work in which candor, sobriety
of judgment and cautious statement were more conspicuous; these charac-
101

teristics give one great coDfidence in Mr. Lincoln's conclusions in doubtful
matter and make one wish that a singular critical sense and exactness of
statement might be displayed in other works on genealogy. Mr. Lincoln
leaves the origin of the Waldo family undetermined and aoes not attempt
trace the ancestry of Cornelius Waldo in England or on the continent of
Europe, though his *' Introduction " contains some helpful hints upon both
these points.
Genealogists will find in these volumes an arrangement and notation
" the decimal letter system/' quite unlike the ** Register Plan." This novel
method, which has been explained in the New England Historical and Oene-
alogicaX ReghteVy vol. 51, page 305, is believed by Air. Lincoln to have advan-
tages from ** its simplicitv, facility of expansion, and definition of relation-
ships." We quote the following explanation, from the preface :
*^The earliest immigrant of the family is lettered a, his children are
lettered oa, a6, ac^ etc. The children of the oldest child are lettered aaa^
aahy aaCf etc., of the second child, abay abb^ ahc, etc., and so on through the
each succeeding generation, each descendants having as many letters show-
ing exactly his line of decent. Should there have been more than one
immigrant whose descendantB are traced, they should be lettered a, 6, c, d,
etc., and their descendants' letters will always begin with the letter of their
respective ancestors, thus showing at a glance to which family they belong."
For convenience in counting a space may be left after the fourth letter.
For ease of reference the index letters, in these volumes, are printed at the
top of every page and also given in the index. It is evidence that there are
certain advantages inherent in the method just outlined. The crucial ques-
tion seems to be that propounded by the compiler of this record — Is it suffi-
ciently simple for the understanding and use of the general public? We
confess to a doubt.
Not merely from all descendants of Cornelius Waldo is gratitude due Mr.
Lincoln, but all interested in the sober and intelligent study of the family
history of American families, are indebted to him for a very careful and
creditable piece of research well digested and published in excellent form.

To those interested in the genealogies of old Essex, Union and Morris
County (N. J.) fimilies..
For some years I have been collecting data conceming the families ol
this vicinity, and I now have, I believe, as large a collection as any other
Serson. I have made a specialty of Revolutionary history and family records
own to the beginning of the nineteenth century, when so many removed
from New Jereey to the West. I have copies of over two thousand tomb-
stone inscriptions prior to J 850, and abstracts of several hundred wills, all
relating to this vicmity.
I am glad at any time to furnish information from my collections at a
moderate eont, or to make npeeial investigations. Applications for admissioii
to the patriotic societies filled out. If there are any missing links in your
ancestry, write me. Perhaps I can help you out Correspondence solicited.

THE "OLD NORTHWEST"
GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY.
OCTOBER, 1G03.
WORTHINGTON, OHIO— 1803-1903.
One hundred years ago this fall a party of six young men —
Case, Bristol, L. Pinney, the Morrisons and Lemuel Kilbourn
— were making ready to harvest a crop of corn planted in the
early summer, on a small clearing which they had made in
Township No. 2, Range 18, U. S. Military Lands ; and at the
same time a number of families were on their way from Con-
necticut and Massachusetts to their new home in the Ohio
wilderness.
The family of Ezra Griswold arrived first, October 29, 1803,:
and began the settlement of what is now Worthington; in
Sharon Township, Franklin County, Ohio. The other families
soon arrived, and the following spring more joined them ; all
members or friends of the Scioto Company, formed in Granby,
Conn., in 1802.
The man who promoted the company ; explored the country
in 1802 ; led the young men who cleared the ground ; made
all arrangements concerning the business of the company ;
returned to Connecticut and directed the journey of the fami-
lies ; surveyed their lands ; preached to them on Sundays ;
developed the business and manufacturing interests ; repre-
sented them and central Ohio in Congress in 1813-1817; and
for nearly fifty years dominated the place, was James Kilbourn,
a successful business man of Granby, Conn.
No attempt is here made to publish a history of Worthing-
ton. The object has been to give some account of a few of its
institutions that date from the beginning of the settlement,
and of some of the men who were on the ground the first year.

110 Warthington, Ohio,— 1803-1903. [Oct.
Much more space is given to Col. Kilbourn than to others,
because his influence in central Ohio in those early days was
far greater than that of any other resident, and in later days,
his position in politics was one of great prominence.
In his old age he wrote for a relative an account of his life,
which we here publish, thanks to the courtesy of his grand-
daughter, Mrs. William G. Deshler, who has the original
manuscript. This autobiography has been annotated by the
committee, largely from information gathered from the letters
and papers now in the possession of another granddaughter,
Miss Emma Jones, who has kindly placed the whole collection
in our hands, for study.
Much of great interest in regard to Col. Kilbourn's share in
the Whig Party's movements, from its organization to 1848,
will form the subject of a later article.
An effort has been made to set forth the facts in regard to
his Homestead Bill and his efforts for its adoption, and some
interesting letters connected therewith are printed, as are his
two addresses to the voters in his Congressional campaigns.
An account of the Worthington Medical College, from the
pen of Dr. H. W. Felter, of Cincinnati, will be found in this
number ; also a brief sketch of the Worthington Female Semi-
nary, by Mrs. Louise Wright, of Worthington.
Mr. D. E. Phillips, an enthusiastic amateur photographer and
active member of this Society, has generously given of his time
and skill in securing representations of many of the old houses,
and of some interesting scenes and objects.
The genealogies of the Kilbourne, Griswold, Job Case, Pin-
ney, Thompson, Buttles, Bristol and Burr families are here
printed. It is expected that those of the Topping, Vinning,
Sloper, Morrison, Maynard, Isaac Case, Plum and perhaps
other families will follow later. The committee desires to
express its thanks to the many who have assisted in the prep-
aration of these genealogies, especially to Mrs. Fredonia Case.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COL. JAMES KILBOURNE,
OF WORTHINGTON, OHIO/
WoRTHiNGTON, March 22, 1845.
Payne Kenyan Kilboutne, Esq. :
Dear Sir and Friend — I have again to commence with an
apology for my long delay in forwarding the information
requested, which is a relapse into a bad state of health soon
after I wrote you last, which still continues ; and a continued
pressure of business beyond my capacity of action. At the
most favorable moments I could, however, have given you the
necessary information in a short communication, but was
inclined to give a pretty specific sketch of my beginning and
progress in life, and had, with that view, written a number of
pages in November last, meaning to leave it with yourself to
select such incidents as you should deem worth preserving.
By the new attack of disease I was prevented from completing
the sketch in that form, and now abandon it for a shorter one,
though still somewhat extended. Shall still be pleased, when
health and business may permit, to make an addition to the
form originally designed, for your own eye, and to make you
better acquainted with a distant friend on whom your generos-
ity confers so much honor. I have already advised you in some
letter that I have not kept copies of my communications to
you ; shall therefore be liable to repeat some matters already
communicated, and omit others that it might be well to insert.
I believe that you are already acquainted with my parentage,
time and place of nativity, of the final ruin of my father and
deaths in his family, by the events of the Revolutionary War,
which commenced when I was in my fifth and closed in my
thirteenth year of age ; and that at 16, in the autumn of 1786,
1. Thomas Kilbourne, the common ancestor of all the Kilbournes In America, was b.
In the parish of Wood Dilton, Cambridgeshire. England, in 1578, and baptized there on the
8th of May of that year. He and his wife Frances had eight children. On April 15, 1635,
with a portion of his family he failed from London in the hhip Increase. Robert Lea,
Master, being then fifty-flve years of age. He settled in Wetherefleld, Conn., and died there
In lt)39. his wife surviving till 1(560, her will being dated Nov. 18 of that year. She was
sixty-flve years old.
Their youngest child, John, was baptized at Wood Dilton Sept. 29, 1624, and was In his
tenth year when the family left England. His name first occurs in the Wethersfleld Rec-
ords in 1647, when he was appointea Collector of the Tax Rates. In 1657 he was confirmed
as Sergeant and from that time referred to as "Serg. Kilbourn." He was Representative
for Weth»»r«field in 16«oand was conspicuous in town affairs for nearly forty years. By
his wife Naomi he had three children. John, Thomas and Naomi, and by his second wife,
8arah. dau. of John Bronson. of Farmington. he had six, Ebenezer, Sarah, George, Mary.
Joseph and Abraham. He died April 9, 1703. Sarah, his widow, died Dec. 4, 1711, aged
seventy years
Ebent-zer, the flrst child of the second marriage, was b. In 1665. He m. Grace, dau. of
Peter Bulkley. Sopt. 20. 1692, and d. Dec. 17. 1711, leaving children: Grace, Ebenezer,
Eleazer. Josiah, Daniel, Margaret, Sarah and George.
Joslah, the fourth child, was b. June 8, 1702; m. Ruth, dau. of John Warner, Nov. 27.
1726. Soon after his marriage he moved some six miles below Wethersfleld village and
Rettled on a farm in Farmington (afterwards in New Britain), where he died. His will
bears date of Dec. 17, 1750. His children were David, Joslah, John, Richard, Ruth,
Elizabeth.
Josiah. the second son, was b. in Wetherpfldd in 1731 ; resided in New Britain, and d.
there in 1814. In 1754 he m. Anna Neal. of New Britain. His children were :
i. Josiah. b. Jan., I756; entered army in April. 1775, and continued to close of war;
TO«e from private to Captain. He sufferid from effects of his wounds and hardships all his
life. He married and was in busiuess in New Britain, dying in 1787, leaving no children

112 Autobiography of CoL yames Kilboume. [Oct.
by my father's suggestion I left home to assume self-direction,
poorly clad for summer and no winter clothing, illiterate, read-
ing only tolerably, without practice in spelling or any knowl-
edge of grammar, or of writing that could be read. I put
myself to farmers five months in the summer season of each
year to provide my clothing and expenses, and the other seven
months to a clothier to learn his trade, for four years, when I
should be 20 years old— October 19, 1790.
On the day that I left home, September 23, 1786, reflecting
on my destitute condition and gloomy prospects, I came to the
conclusion that two things in particular were indispensable for
me, viz., to establish the reputation of a first-rate hand to work,
with perfect integrity in every trust, and to get learning. For
the latter I had neither money nor time, during the hours of
labor and chores doing. It must therefore be acquired by my
own application, and mainly while others slept. My determi-
nation was taken accordingly and persevered in, with success
beyond my most sanguine expectations.

appropriated invariably half of every night to that object, and
never letting study interfere with my labor or trust, he became
my warm and efficient friend ; the most disinterested and val-
ued friend I ever had or could desire. With him I learned
the English, Latin and Greek grammar, arithmetic and other
branches of mathematics, and much besides of useful knowl-
edge. And nothing gives me greater pleasure than occurrences
which render it suitable for me to declare this debt of gratitude
which I owed to that great and excellent man while living, nor
less to his memory, now that he has gone to the bosom of his
God; a debt I can never pay but in the heart's warm devotion.
At the commencement of my fourth year's service at the
trade, October, 1789, circumstances occurred which induced my
master to relinquish his claim to my further services, on condi-
tion of my taking full charge of the whole establishment and
clearing him wholly from work and care.
This offer I accepted, and married the daughter of John
Fitch,' inventor and builder, at Philadelphia, of the first steam-
boat in the world. Our marriage was celebrated in St. Andrew's
Church, Simsbury, on Sunday, November 8, 1789. I was thus
settled in family and business at about 19, and nothing remained
but to "go ahead" with such capacity and means as I pos-
sessed. And here I shall find a constant tendency to run into
detail, according to my original design, but I will try and keep
from it and show more of the ''modus operandi by which I
effected results, or let it pass without notice.
I commenced business with the closest application and econ-
omy, not unfrequently, in seasons when customers pressed,
saw the sun rise and set twice without taking rest except while
at my meals. In three years I owned three clothing establish-
ments, that of my master's being one, viz., where Tariffville
now stands; where Avon is since built, and on the line between
Granby and Suffield. Employed workmen enough and super-
intended it all myself ; and bought back the place where I left
my father and mother, which he had mortgaged the day before,
and ultimately surrendered to the mortgagees, for its full value
as his necessities had progressively demanded.
By inhaling so constantly and extensively the fumes of poi-
sonous compositions and dyes I became severely sick, unable
3. John Fitch, son of . was b. at East Windsor Hill, Conn.. Jan. 21,
1743, and d. in Bardstown. Ky., July 2, 1798. He was an armorer in the military service
during the Revolution. For a while near the close of the war he was a surveyor in Vir-
ginia, during which time he prepared, engraved on copper and printed, on a press of his
own manufacture, a map of the Northwest country, afterwards formed Into a territory.
He constructed a steamboat in 1786 that could be propelled eight miles an hour. A
compiiny was formed (178») in Philadelphia, which caused a steam packet to ply on the
Delaware River and it ran ifor about two years, when the company failed.
In 1793 he unsuccessfully tried his navigation projects in France. Discouraged, he
went again to the Western country, where he died, leaving a history of his adventures in
the steamboat enterprise, from which Mr. Thompson Wescott prepared a biography which
was published in 1867. Cy. of U. S. Hist.. I, 490.
The model of his steamboat is now in the collection of the Ohio Archseological and
Historical Society at Columbus, O., having been presented by A. N. Whiting, Esq , of that
city, a grandson.

to do anything for many months ; was pronounced incurable on
two occasions by able counsels, one of physicians, the other of
surgeons — the two about a year apart ; obtained distant and
better aids — recovered gradually, walked with crutches eigh-
teen months, tried again to work at my trade, but was unable.
I bought land, in addition to the little place my father had
owned, to make a good farm ; tried farming one year — could
not stand the labour and exposure — rented out my farm ; com-
menced mercantile business on a small scale, soon made it a
large one ; made more money than I needed in trade, bought
two large farms, one of them that which my father lost by the
Revolutionary War, and two small ones of convenient size and
good. Built a tavern stand near my store at the foot of the
great range of the New England mountains, eighteen miles from
Hartford, on the turnpike leading through Tariffville, Granville
and Pittsfield to Albany, near the Craggs Mills, one of which I
owned. Here became what in Granby was deemed wealthy.
Up to this time I had declined all the little offices that were
offered, except the management of the fiscal concerns in the
Episcopal Church and lister and assessor of taxable property.
Meantime raised and conducted two literary societies and a
large circularting library.
Having thus provided a comfortable independence and placed
myself and family in the first circle of society at home and
abroad, and being near 30 years of age, concluded to take
breath a little, but without much relaxation.*
About this time, commencement of 1800, conceived the plan
of forming an emigration company to the then N. Western
Territory. It took about one year (1800) to make my friends
believe me serious in the proposition ; the next (1801) to sat-
isfy them that I was not insane; the third (1802) to explore
the country, complete the Scioto Company of forty members
and prepare for operations, and the fourth (1803) to commence
improvements, and near the end of the year to conduct the
families to the purchase, all of which devolved on me.* This
first year's settlement consisted of twelve families and 100
members, my daughter Orrel, born on the journey, filling out
the even number, which till then was wanting one.
4. "Amidst his herculean labors he had found time to prosecute with vigor his
researches after truth and useful information, and It is here worthy of remark that theol-
ogy and ecclesiastical history had claimed no small share of his attention. His parents
were members of the Congregational Church, but he had himself in early life united with
the Episcopalians, and was ardently attached to their doctrines and forms. During this
season of relaxation he was often called upon to oflaciate as lay reader in the church, and
was urged by bis friends to take orders. After much hesitancjr and prayerful self-exami-
nation, he at length yielded to their solicitations and was ordained at St. Peter's Church.
Cheshire, Jan. 4, 1802, by the Rt. Rev. Abraham Jarvis. Bishop of Connecticut. He offici-
ated in several vacant parishes and was invited to settle in tnree or four. He, however,
declined the Invitations thus tendered to him, having formed the project of Western
emigration." Kilbourne Family, p. 144 ; see also letters to Bishop Jar\'is, published in
this number.
5. See July number this year. He had previously made two tours of exploration
through western N. Y., crossing the branches of the Delaware and Susquehanna and along
the Mohawk to Phelps and Gorham's purchase, returning along and near Lake Ontario, to
Black River, Wood Creek, etc., to Albany. Kilbourne Family, p. 145.

Our numbers continued the same without addition or loss to
the following Fourth of July, 1804, when we were all assembled
and, in the heart of a boundless forest, celebrated our great
national festival in the happiest style I have ever witnessed,
felling nineteen great trees instead of &c., &c.
In the spring of 1804 the organization of the new State was
completed and I was made Captain of all the N. West frontier,
on the Indian line, as per the Greenville treaty, having about
men enough in the northwest third of the State for one com-
pany, and they mostly of our own settlement and below us on
the Scioto river. Was elected about the same time Justice of
the Peace for the county of Franklin for three years.* During
this year surveyed and divided to all of the proprietors their
land in the company's purchase, closed up all its concerns and
dissolved the association.^
In the spring of 1805 I explored closely the south shore of
Lake Erie, from its most southerly bend, now in Erie county,
to the Maumee Rapids, then an Indian territory, and selected
the present site of Sandusky City as our northern commercial
emporium, as it has since become and is now rapidly rising, it
being also chartered as a city instead of a borough as formerly.
About the same time I received in conformity to an act of
Congress, from Hon. Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury,
unasked and unexpected, the appointment of a District Sur-
veyor for a vast tract of the public land.® and executed the
duties of the office for nine years, and still holding the com-
mission completed the service by deputy. I went the same
year to New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, purchased
some quarter townships, or 4,000-acre tracts of land, became a
general land agent. Formed three new companies of settlers,
called Union, Louises and Goodriches Settlements, in 1806.
Meantime and previous by writing and otherwise, had induced
the formation and settlement of the Granville Association of
100 members from Granby and Granville, Bixbe's Settlement
from Lenox and other parts of some hundreds of families, and
6. He was first elected Justice of the Peace in 1806, when Sharon was a part of Liberty

In 1806 was appointed by joint ballot of the Legislature one
of the first Board of Trustees, the Governor being President
ex officio, by which the establishment and first organization of
the Ohio College at Athens was effected. This college was
endowed by Congress with two townships, or 46,000 acres of
land. The college faculty were appointed at the same meeting
of the board. After holding this trust for ten years, on account
of the distance to travel resigned it, January 20, 1821.*^ Went

settlers. 1807, re-elected Justice of the Peace for three years.

porations. Have declined services in the church, but continue
in the academy. Went Eastward again this year and brought
on additional settlers. Meantime had been elected Major of
the first Battalion on the Indian frontier. We were located
about the center of the State and the Indian boundary twenty-
five miles north of Worthington, the settlements extending to
it. In 1808, if my recollection is correct, was elected by the
Legislature one of three Commissioners to establish the site of
Miami University, and attended to that duty." Meantime had

declared utterly void.

business with drugs and medicines and several mechanical
shops, and went Eastward twice a year for goods. Was elected
Colonel of the Frontier Riflemen, but declined accepting, and
resigned the Majority through disgust for the Brigadier, who
lived below us and was a perfect booby in all military affairs.*'
In 1812, was appointed by the President of the United States
one of three Commissioners to establish the contested bound-
ary between the great Virginia Northwestern Reservation and
the Public Lands of the U. S.»*
This duty was executed under circumstances of much peril,
as it was soon after the declaration of war ; much of the line
lay through the Indian country, and many of the Indians were
very hostile. We encamped two nights on the site of an Indian
town, which our troops had taken and burned a day or two
before — the smouldering ruins still burning. A few days after
the completion of this service, which Congress subsequently
ratified, was elected a member of Congress for the Center Dis-
trict of the State." Served with close attention through the
four sessions, two regular and two specially called, of this, the
Thirteenth Congress, and was re-elected while attending the
second special session, in October, 1814. At the end of the
term declined further election, on account of ill health and a
great pressure of private business — the country also being
delivered and safe. This was the time when I supposed my
standing better than at any former period. Was first Master
of the first Masonic Lodge, first High Priest of the first Royal
Arch Chapter, and one of the three first officers of the Encamp-

progress therein, against violent opposition in the Legislature,

thus introduced has been slowly progressing at every session

est, was that of a liberal charter to the " Worthington Literati/***
Having been the founder of this association, and presiding at
its deliberations, when present, was elected first President
thereof under the charter, but have for some time past declined
further service in that capacity.
Going a little back from the order of my dates heretofore
observed, I wish to here advise you that about the commence-
ment of the last war, it being known that I had some knowledge
of manufacturing and some spare capital, I was invited by
friends in New York and urged by members of the Government
from the President down to Cabinet officers and members of
Congress, to embark in manufacturing woolen goods to aid in
clothing our army and navy. I remembered well the fate, the
total ruin, of all who were similarly persuaded during the Rev-
olution. When peace came, their country's peace was not peace
to them. I well remembered that, notwithstanding all the
promises given of full protection, by tariff, so soon as the war
protection should cease, even the patriotic Congress refused all
protection to the humble beginners in American manufactories,
by employing families, etc., and they were ruined.
Still, the promises were so fair, and the non-protectionists
admitting their errors and agreeing to change their course, I
was induced to join a company of the kind here.
I invested $10,000, incurred liability as security for $57,000
and much more.**
Peace came in 1815 — no protection to woolens till 1824-5. I
sustained the whole concern, as did Mr. Wells that at Steuben-
ville, amid enormous losses by those who owed us and other-
wise, until 1820, when, all hope from Government failing,
Steubenville and Worthington factories were crushed ; and
your friend at 50 years of age, with a family of eight daughters
and four sons, half of them still small and unprovided for.
was stripped of the last cent he had accumulated, with tremen-
dous sacrifices, by the vigorous coercion of creditors.

seloctinff the lands granted by a late act of Congress to Ohio. I understood from you last
wiufor that there was a quantity of good land in the region through which the Columbus

If at Portland I would be glad if you could take this route home and meet me at the
loan office at Tiffin on the 2Htn inst. If thiK does not reach you before your return to

Meantime and including that perplexing period, my thirds
Lincoln, was three years and nine months under surgeon's care,
two years of the time unable to move himself from the bed,,
with a diseased hip, from which, however, he recovered, against
all expectation, after great suffering and expense. He is well
and a vigorous business man.
On finding myself again totally without means except some
physical strength and a mind not greatly discomposed, and
concluding not to hang, drown or get drunk, I took up the
compass again and went into the woods. With much labor and
economy my doctors' bills were paid, my family all raised to
business, science, virtue and honor. They are all well settled ;
all in good circumstances, having respectable independencies,
and some of them quite wealty. Have acquired for myself and
my good companion a comfortable independence, though not
so much in amount as before, but so that I do for my friends
as many favors as I have need to ask.
I have laid off thirteen towns of this State, of which number
are Worthington, the chief town of the Scioto Company's pur-
chase ; Bucyrus, the flourishing seat of justice of Crawford
county, and the commercial City of Sandusky, now chartered
as such, and advancing firmly in improvements, the seat of
justice of Erie county, and destined to be the largest city on
the south shore of Lake Erie. Have also, by State and county
authority, established more State and county roads than any
two individuals besides. The same remark will apply in a ratio
of at least double in regard to the towns.

It is my wish that you furnish me in the first place with a list of the very best lands
only, and that you keep a memorandum of the lots of a 2nd quality, and when through
with your examination that you will transmit this abo by mail as above.
You are aware that the value of this grant to Ohio, depends upon the ease (?) and

In closing this detail will only add» that I do not remember
being a member of any corporation or association, at the com-
mencement thereof, except one each, of which I was not the
first President, and of those two subsequently.
Have been called to preside at more than half the public
conventions and meetings, jiolitical and others, which 1 have
attended for fifty years ; among them the immense Whig Con-
vention at Columbus, February 22, 1840, and another nearly as
large ; and the great State Convention, July 4, li839, for laying
the cornerstone for the Capitol of Ohio. The Governor was
present with heads of departments. This was the greatest
public dinner and festival I ever saw, and the expression of
apparent good feeling was unbounded, without the obtrusion
of the Demon, Party.
In the foregoing I have mostly noted scenes of business and
steady (?) advancement, and not adverted to thousands of the
most interesting passages of my life, at least to me — scenes of
distress and joy, of pleasures and sympathies, which friends of
the most feeling heart, and highest devotion to our welfare,
alone can duly appreciate —
A Friend that can sigh o'er my sorrow,
And rejoice in the snmmer and sunshine of life;—
That can smile in the hope of a happy to-morrow,
And vanqoish the demons of discord and strife.
Can give ns a right welcome, warm-hearted greeting ;
That sUrs in the Spirit its holiest spells.
Many such were inserted in the more diffused form first
adopted but laid by, as above mentioned.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF THE TOWN.
An opinion seems to prevail among many that the Town of
Worthington was named for Gov. Thomas Worthington, first
Senator from Ohio. The universal tradition among the descend-
ants of the settlers, however, is that the name was given in
memory of a Connecticut locality.
The following letters seem to be of interest in determining
the matter. The Worthington therein referred to was a village
in the east part of Berlin, on the main road from Middletown
to Farmington, about ten miles northwest of the former.
Barber's Connecticut Historical Collections states (p. 65) that
Berlin was incorporated in 1785, having been previously the
Second Society of Farmington, by the name of Kensington,
and set off about 1712. In 1758 Kensington was divided by
the formation of New Britain, and again in 1772 by the forma-
tion of the Society of Worthington ; its name being derived
from one of the committee who located the Society quoting
Pease and Niles Gazetteer as authority. There is a picture of

Right Reverend Sir — We are informed that the Bishop is displeased
with Mr. Kilbourn's calculation, in leaving this parish to take a journey
into the Northwestern Territory — fearing that it will prove a disappoint-
ment and a damage to the church here.
We beg, therefore, humbly to represent to the Bishop— That Mr. Kil-
bourn has long contemplated this journey and often declared it to the
wardens and others from the first of his reading here, and it was fully
understood in the last contract made with him by the committee a short
time before he was ordained, and was a condition in the contract, that he
should be at liberty to make this particular journey if he should think it
expedient — and he did not engage so much as to supply the pulpit during
his absence; but he has, notwithstanding, been so thoughtful of our inter-
est and prosperity as to agree with the Rev. Mr. Warren, the Rev. Mr. Ives,
and Mr. S. Griswold, a Candidate, to supply us as usual while he shall be
absent, which is more than we expected, but is in full unison with the
wishes of all the parish.

We understand the contract which he has made with Mr. Griswold and
fully approve of it, and as we have once heard Mr. GriBwold read to the
satisfaction of the whole Society present, we must request the Bishop to
forward Mr. Kilbourn's design m this respect, encouraging Mr. Griswold to
come forward agreeably to the encouragement he has given. We believe it
would be an injury to the Society if he should not. We could all wish, ta
be sure, that Mr. Kilbourn did not wish to take this journey, but inasmuch
as he does, we ought to and we do hereby certify that it is no more than
we agreed to at the time when we made our contract with him, which con-
tract on the part of Mr. Kilbourn has been observed with honour.

MR. KILBOURN'S CONGRESSIONAL CAREER.
From the returns of the census of 1810 it appeared that Ohio
was entitled to six Representatives. Mr. Kilbourn was urged
by his friends to become a candidate in the Fifth District,
which then comprised the Counties of Licking, Delaware,
Franklin, Madison, Fairfield, Champaign, Montgomery, Miami
and Darke.*
He issued his address to the electors, as follows :
ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS, 1812.
To ihe Trulepmdent Electors of Franklinion, Columbus and the Townships Adjacent :
Gentlemen — Being so far honored with the favorable opinion of some of
my fellow-citizens as to be named in several counties as a candidate at the
approaching election, for Representative in Congress from the Fifth District,
of which yourselves are a part; and finding that great pains have been
taken to represent my situation and views, as being at variance with the
local interest of your part of the District, 1 have come to the conclusion,
with the advice of friends, to make to you a public but concise statement
of my interest, views and political sentiments.
As I do not know my political opinions were ever called in question,
shall consider it sufficient on the present occasion to state, that I have ever
been, and still am, a decided Republican, according to niv best understand-
ing of the principles of civil government, and inflexibfy attached to the
Constitution of the United States. Leaving this part, therefore, without
further observations, shall confine my connnunications principally to those
objects which appear most essentially interesting to the public in general
in this critical period of difficulty and danger ; and to those local interests
which are the most immediately connected \iith the prosperity of our own
District in particular. With respect to the National concerns, it will be
proper to ODserve that I consider the present war as being strictly just on
the part of the United States ; and indispensably necessary under existing
circumstances, unless we are prepared to surrender our dearest rights of
property and personal liberty, and to prostrate at the foot of Royal inso-
lence the hitherto honored name of "American Independence." And for
one, fellow-citizens, I am not prepared for such humility ; I shall never
agree to such a surrender. But in the prosecution of the war, it appears to

me that a greater degree of vigor and promptitude is necessary than has yet
been maniiested. I am fixed in the opinion that the cheapest mode of
conducting a war, even as it respects pecuniary considerations, if we men-
tion no other, is, with an overwhelming force for an army, a flowine abun-
dance of all the provisions and munitions of war, and the most rapid move-
ments to every point required. An invading, or assailing army, should
never be behind their own appointments, but should always oe at the
point intended sooner than expected by the enemy, and in er^ter force if
possible. In this way the United States would have it in tneir power, in
the present war, to carry all before them, and ensure a speedy ana an hon-
orable peace ; and which is still a consideration of infinite importance, will
save the sacnfice of the lives of thousands of our citizens and the effusion
of human blood ; and, to crown the whole, will obtain not only an honora-
ble, but a lasting peace.
With respect to the local interest of this part of our own District, it
becomes my duty, in the most unequivocal terms, to contradict the insinu-
ation that I am bv interest opposed to the prosperity of Columbus and
Franklinton and the adjacent country. It is not true that I have any such
opposition ; and every man who is acquainted with present circumstances,
must know that all suggestions of that sort, which have been circulated
with so much industry by particular characters, are totally without founda-
tion. While the Seat of Government remained unestablished, there was
indeed a difference of interest, relating to that particular question, between
the towns of Worthington and Franklinton. But that question being now
at rest, and having myself become interested in the Town of Columbus, no
person can reasonably suppose that I could feel any other disposition
towards that part of our District than the meet sincere desire for its growth
and prosperity. It is indeed well known that so soon as the Seat of Gov-
ernment was established by law, that, on behalf of the manufacturing com-
pany, I immediately commenced a branch of our business in Franknnton,
where it is still continued; and it is my fixed design to establish the same
in Columbus, with lar^ additions, so soon as suitable buildings can be
erected the ensuing sprmg, the materials and labor being already contracted
for to erect said building.
As to the great United States road from Washington City to this State,
and a Post-road from Newark, by Columbus and iranklinton, to the west-
em part of this District, reference may be had to a communication of mine,
published some time since, in which the facts, and my opinion relating to
them, are distinctly stated as they exist, and particularly favorable to your
interests.
I shall therefore only add further, in this place, that my interest and
disposition are so far from being unfriendly to the prosperity of this part of
our District, that I shall exert my best abilities in its favor, on every ques-
tion that may arise concerning it in the National Legislature, should the
suffrages of my fellow-citizens place me in connection with that body.
With respect to capacity to render you the necessary service, you will of
course form your own opinions. It is only becoming me to say, as I can do
with confidence, that should it be your will to honor me with your suffrages
I shall remember it with gratitude, whatever may be the result of the elec-
tion ; and if placed in the contemplated office, shall feel myself impelled,
both by interest and inclination, to discharge my duty in such a maimer as
shall not disappoint your confidence or ever shame your favor.

A letter to R. F. Slaughter, written in the early part of this
session, shows his views :
Endorsed : *' Letter to R. F. Slaughter. An Essay upon the Administration and the
Opposition."
Washington City, June 5, 1813.
RoibeH F, Slaughter, Esq. :
Dear Sir— The enclosed paper will give you all of the news of the day
here. Congress has done but little yet. The committee having the most
important matters under consideration have not yet reported to the House.
We expect the report of the Committee of Ways and Means on Monday
next, which will be the seventh of the month, and as soon as that report is
taken up I expect the opposition to take the field in full array against the
Administration and its supporters, but I hope the majority will have the
firmness to take the reponsibility upon themselves of adhering to their own
measures, instead of being weakly driven into measures comporting with
the views of the opposition, with the whole responsibility still resting upon
their dioulders.
A conduct in the Government of this last description has been but too
visible to the views of my mind in many instances that are past, but I tnist
that the fallacy of such conduct is now discovered, and I very much hope
that such a wavering policy and the fallacious expectation of conciliating
the present opposition will never a^ain govern a division of the majority in
Congress or the acts of any indiviaual of the Administration. I refer to
Mr. Slaughter.
I view it as reduced to a certainty, sir, that the opposition will not permit
one measure to be adopted which it is in their power to prevent, that could
prove favorable to the National happiness or honor, as any and ^1 such
measures would go directly to estaolish the reputation and support the
popularity of the Administration, the thing of au others which they most
dread, and will therefore seek to prevent by every measure which their
ingenuity, ambition and envy can sun^st, aided by the malice of Hell
fuiminatmg from Eastern pulpits, ana the old and deadly influence of
British gold and bribery.
To attempt the conciliation of a party so directed, as the present opposi-
tion to Government most manifestly is, would not only be the most thank-
less of all attempts, but the the most unpromising of any favorable result
that the folly of men could possibly conceive.
The person who still entertains a hope that the party can be conciliated
and brought to co-operate with the Administration in any one efficient and
beneficial measure which it can devise, cannot have marked the course of
the opposition since the change of administration, nor the many sacrifices
made by the majority of their own sentiments and opinions within the last
presidential term to efiect if possible so desirable an object as that of the
united exertion to repel foreign aggression and support the honor and
essential rights of the Nation. No, sir ; the person entertaining such an
expectation at this time cannot have marked these things as they have
passed, in the li^ht of truth, or his capacity of profiting by experience must
be very limited mdeed.
THE HOMESTEAD BILL.
About a month after the session opened, on June 21, he
offered for consideration the following resolution :
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to inquire whether any, and if
any, what provision ought to be made for the more effectual and econom-
protection of the Northwestern Frontier against the incursions of
any,

savages and other enemies, by granting donations of land to actual settlers
on land adjoining the northern and western boundary of the State of Ohio
and of the Territories of Indiana and Illinois.'
On the 23d this was amended by adding the Territory of
Missouri, and was referred to a select committee of which he
was one, from which on July 13 he reported a bill which was
read twice and committed.*
The extra session adjourned on August 2. The following
documents were sent to him before the regular session in
December :

Thb Hok*blb Jambs Kilbourn,

City of Washington.
Kaskaskia, 9th November, 1813.
Sir — By the last mail I received your circular, memorial and bill, which
came to hand too late to procure all the signers that could have been had,
so as the memorial be with you at the opening of the next session of Con-
gress. But the Assembly of the Territory are to meet this week if bad
weather does not prevent their arrival ; I will endeavor to have a resolu-
tion passed in favor of the bill and forward the same to you by next mail.
I have done all in my power for the short time I had the memorial, I have
also mentioned the respective offices of those who signed — on a separate
paper as they put their names to the memorial.
Two of the members from the upper counties came this evening. As
there is post office on the route and where they reside I inquired what
success the memorial met with ; they said they heard nothing of it, but
doubted not of its meeting the approbration of all. Which would be so
advantageous to the United States and the frontier country, for not a single
Eerson that has seen the bill, but returns thanks to the Supreme Being for
aving a gentleman of your talents and abilities in the National Legislature.
None before has taken such a laborious task for the benefit of our great and
fruitful country.
It is a mistaKen notion as is said to mention it as an unhealthy climate.
It is so to negligent neople. I have been in this Illinois country twenty-
eight years and may be a while longer, and am as hearty as when I left
Ireland. On my conuning here there was swamps, lakes, etc., of stagnated
water. But yearly these places get less in a manner tnat now many of
them are entirely dry and have good roads throueh them.
I hope, sir, that my conduct in this business will meet your approbation,
and should anything occur wherein my services may be of any utility you
may depend, sir, on my utmost exertions as far as in my power — no one
wisnes more the good of the community than I do.
Our Territory has been neglected ; many dead, their heirs growing gray-
headed, since land has been granted them and not yet located, nor does not
know when they will be in possession of them. And now our Territorial
Assembly has imposed a tax on lands of that description. I among others
am one of the sufferers — and it's said for want of being represented— and
where can we have redress except a ^ntleman of your charitable disposi-
tion would be disposed to do something for this neglected country ?
I am fully of the opinion that our Delegate would wish to do all in hia
power for tne benefit of this country, but it requires support.

House ; and that, from the most deliberate view which we have been ena-

Raolvedf That our Delegate in Congress oe puiicularly instructed and he
is hereby requested to give the said above-mentioned bill every aid and

The following letter from Major Irwin, U. S. A., is also of
interest :
Dbtroit, Dec. 18, 1813.
Dear Sir— On the receipt of the memorial you sent to me, I was ordered
from Lower Sandusky to Portage and had no time to get signers. I left it
with Captain Koss, of our county, in order to obtain signers, and for him to
send it to me at Portage. I was ordered from Portage to this place. Cap-
tain Koss sent his trunk with the papers in it by water, so that it was a
considerable time before they came to my hands. The newspaper with the
bill in it was by some means mislaid, so that I never had an opportunity of
perusing it but once. It was considerable against me getting signers among
the regular officers, as thev wished to see the bill previous to their signine.
I hope you may succeed and have it passed into a law this season. I
believe it will be the most effectual and speedy method to get the Western
lands settled and our frontiers secured. In hopes to hear of your succeding,
I remain. Your friend and H*ble Serv't,
Thomas Irwin.
Hon. James Kilboum, Washington City.
On January 10, 1814, Mr. Kilboum, with Jennings, of Ind.
Ten, presented petitions in favor of the bill and the matter
was referred to the Millitary Committee.*
April 13, he moved " that the House do now proceed to the
consideration of the Report of the Committee of the Whole on
the Land Bill," but the House, by a vote of 36 to 71, refused
to take it up,* and on the 18th adjourned. In his address to
the voters, 1814, he gives the history of his efforts.
Among his papers are memoranda of his argument in support
of the bill. He estimated that in the State of Ohio and the
Territories of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Northwest and Mis-
souri, there were 16,000 warriors. That there were (excluding
Northwest Ten, where only five and a half million acres had
been ceded, and also Missouri,) about fifty million acres of
ceded land and over forty million of unceded. In the cordon
of settlements proposed on the frontiers there were about ten
million of ceded and two million of unceded lands, of which

1903.] Mr. Kilboum's Congressional Career. 129
the proposed donations would amount to about 25 per cent.,
leaving in the cordon seven and a half million of ceded and
one and a half million of unceded land.
He sets forth twelve propositions in favor of his plan :
Ist. It will induce compact settlements, whereas they are now scattered.
2nd. It will shorten the line of frontier from Sandusky to the Arkansas
from 2,070 miles to 940.
3rd. It will reduce the number of fortified positions necessary for the
frontier from 107 to 32.
4th. The line of forts and block houses will be immediately outside of
the settlements, by which they will be supported and supplied with pro-
visions.
5th. The most important will first be settled, such as Ft. Meigs, Ft.
Defiance, St. Joseph's, Chicago, Rocky River, the bank of the Mississippi,
the two middle districts of Indiana and Illinois, and the positions on tne
Missouri, the White River and the Arkansas. The settling by one thousand
men of one county at each. Ft. Meigs, Ft. Defiance, Chicago, Rocky River,
Ft. Shelby, Ft. Clark, Ft. Arkansas, Ft. Harrison or Peoria, would be worth
$100,000 each to the Government if the war should continue two years.
6th. It will enclose all the ceded lands except ^y% and a half million
acres in the N. W. Territory, and that lays so adjoining the line as to receive
much benefit.
7th. It will add great additional value to the lands ceded, or that be
ceded hereafter, to the U. S.
8th. By enclosing so great a number of Indians it will prevent the inter-
course of the British with them.
9th. The settling of one county only at Ft. Meigs secures forever the
communication with Detroit, and will furnish supplies for that and several
neighboring jjosts for the lake forces or fleet.
10th. It will, in every case, prevent all communication of the enemy by
water from one important point to another.
11th. It will separate and divide all the Indian tribes and prevent their
co-operation.
12th. To complete the plan and to render peace certain and perpetual,
there should be added an incorporated Northwestern Fur Company, who
should establish a line of trading houses on all the Northwestern bays and
portages from Sandusky to the Lake of the Woods.
At the second session of the Thirteenth Congress, which
opened December 6, 1813, he was not present, not arriving till
the 22d. The following letter explains this, and shows that he
had his constituents in mind even when on a sickbed :
Brownsville, Pa., Dec. 6, 1813.
To the PrejsiderU of the United StcUes :
Most Respected Sir — Being detained on my way to the Seat of Govern-
ment by indisposition of body, and the season having arrived, as I appre-
hend, for the appointment of the officers of the Internal Revenue, I consider
it to be my duty as one of the Representatives of the State of Ohio to recom-
mend to the President persons within the District which I have the honor
partially to represent, who would meet the approbation of the people there,
and whom from particular acquaintance I consider worthy of appointment
to the offices of Principal Assessor and Collector of the Direct Tax and
Internal Duties.
Permit me therefore, sir, to recommend Recompense Stanberry, Esq., for
the office of Principal Assessor, and Samuel Shannon, Esq., for tnat of Col-
lector for the Collection District composed of the Counties of Madison, Del-
aware, Franklin, Pickaway, Fairfield, Licking and Knox, which, if my
recollection serves me correctly, is the Third; and Samuel McCullough,
Digitized by VjOOQIC
180 Mr. Kilbaurris Congressional Career, [Oct.
Esq., for Collector of the Second District, or the District composed of the
Counties of Champaign, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Greene.
As one of the counties within this last VoUection District (Greene) does
not belong to the Congreuional District by me represented, but to that
which is represented by the Hon. John Alexander^ I forbear to mention
any person for the office of Assessor within the said Second District, but
have referred that matter to Mr. Alexander.
In favor of Mr. McCullou^h, permit me further to observe that I consider
him as being eminently qualified for the duties of the office proposed, and
that he has lost his right arm in the service of his country. He is brother
to the two Captain McCulIoughs who have fallen during the present war,
one at Brownstown and the other at Ft. Meigs.
With the most profound respect and highest consideration, I have the
honour to be, sir. Your Most Ob'd't Serv*t,
James Kilbourn.
Soon after his arrival in Washington he sent to two of his
friends the following letter :
Endorsed : '• Copy of letter to Hon. Wm. Wilson and to C. H. Griswold, Dec. 25, 1813."
Washington City, Dec. 25, 1813.
Eon. WiUiam Wiltfon, Etq. :
Dear Sib — ^The enclosed is not forwarded at this time through the expec-
tation that it will be new, but merely for your better convenience in
preserving it for reference, it being in pamphlet form.
We have no news here of importance but that of the destruction of Ft,
George and the town adjoining it and the abandonment of that important poai-
Hon by the Americans, Of the fact we understand there is no doubt, and a
most damning and ditgracefuL fact it in ! for what degree of imbecility in our
commanding Generals and of humiliation to our American feelings must
we next prepare ? I verily fear, sir, that we shall soon hear that the enemy
have attacked our army in their cantonments and driven them back with
immense loss if not effecting their total destruction, and in either case what
in the name of God is to save our fleet frozen in the ice of Ontario, I cannot
tell! Nothing, however, that I can conceive, but the most improbable
nejglect of the enemy or a special interposition of Heaven.
The principal officers have mostl]^ left the army ; the towns and cities in
these parts are actually dwarming with them. Wnether this is for the vxyrse
or heUer to the army cannot be known at present ; the latter, however, is
my hope. That Brigadier Generals Brown and Boyd, particularly Brown,
remain is a favorable circumstance.
No nation was ever honored with braver men and subordinate officers
than those who compose the armies of the United States ; but further than
that I am not prepared to say at present To our naval men and command-
ers and to most of our land forces, including the subordinate officers, all
praise is due. In them and the justice of our cause and in the benedictions
of Heaven I have much confidence. I wish I could say as much of the
capacity and energy of our Major Generals. But if they or either of them
are to command another campaign, may Heaven grant they may redeem
their own and their country's honor.
With esteem and great respect I am, sir, your most obedient servant.
Jambs Kilbourn.
The following resolution was offered on January 25, 1814 :
Besolved, That the Committee on Naval Affitirs be instructed to inquire
into the expediency of increasing the pay of the officers, marines and sea-
men composing the crews of the fleets in the service of the United States
on the Northern Lakes, and of offering such other inducements as they may
deem necessary, if any, in addition to those now offered, for procuring a
competent number and the proper description of men for all the purposes
Digitized by VjOOQIC

connected with the naval service on that important frontier, by which to
establish with certainty a complete command of the lakes, so indispensably
necessary for the operations in that quarter in the further prosecution of
the war; and that they report by bill or otherwise.'
This resolution was opposed by Mr. Lowndes, of S. C, as
unnecessary, and supported by Mr. Kilbourn in a speech in
which he called attention to the unwillingness of men to enlist
in the navy for fear of being transferred to lake service.
The House refused to adopt the resolution. At this session
he voted for the Loan Bill and for the repeal of the Embargo
Act and against the Yazoo Claim.*
The third session began September 19, 1814, but he did not
appear till October 22.'
During a discussion of a bill to authorize the President to
accept the services of such volunteers as may associate, organ-
ize and offer their services, Mr. Kilbourn moved (November 1)
to extend to privates killed during their service the same pro-
visions for relief of their widows and children as was provided
for officers' families. This was defeated in committee of the
whole as putting privates of these organizations on a different
footing from the rest of the army, but on the committee's
rising he renewed the motion and spoke in favor of it, and it
was agreed to.*°
Three days later he stated that he observed that there was
much difficulty in filling the ranks of the army, and believing
that to attain that highly important object nothing could more
greatly conduce than a provision for the families of those who
die in the service, he had been induced to offer the following
resolution :
Besolvedf That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire
into the expediency of providing by law for the relief of the widows and
children of all such non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates as
shall be killed in the public service in any of the corps comprising the
army of the United States.
This resolution was ordered to lie upon the table, but the
next day he called it up and modified it so as to embrace only
regular soldiers and volunteers in the service, excluding cases
of militia already referred to the Military Committee. So
modified it was agreed to."
In a discussion of the Volunteer Bill on the same day, he
moved an amendment to strike out the clause which authorized
the volunteers to be commissioned by the States as well as by
the U. S. His object was to obtain uniformity in the service
and in the grades of the commissions. Much discussiou ensued
by Webster, Grosvenor, of N. Y., and Ingersoll, of Pa., for the
7. Do., p. U42.

motion, and Johnson, of Ky., Jackson, of Va., and Sharp, of
Ky., against it, but Kilbourn*s amendment prevailed."
On November 9 he presented a petition of 729 persons,
praying that certain public lands be appropriated and sold at
twelve and a half cents per acre to actual settlers. This the
House refused by a vote of 50 to 48 to refer to the Public
Lands Committee."
In the discussion on the question of the National Bank he
took part, making a speech on November 18 in favor of the
Government subscription, of offering some amendments, and
having Chillicothe substituted for Pittsburg as a place for
taking subscriptions."
He strongly opposed the increased tax on distilled liquors
as detrimental to his constituents, and urged the imposition of
an income tax.** Yet he voted for the bill and for all of the
Government's taxation measures.
During this session he issued his second address to the
voters :
ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS, 1814.
To the People of the Fifth Omqremonal District :
Friends and Fkllow-Citizknb — Having been honored, by the suffrages of
free men, to represent you in the Congress of the U. 8. for the two last
sessions, I feel it to be a duty which I owe, and I have much pleasure in
performing that duty, to communicate to you the various propositions
which have been made in Congress immediately affecting the local inter-
ests of the Western ^country in general, and of this State and District in
particular.
The most prominent measure, perhaps, which, as yoiu* Representative, I
have had the honor to propose, is a plan of defence and protection of
the Northwestern frontier oi the U. 8. oy granting donations of land to
actual settlers withm, and erecting a line of fortitied posts, immediately
upon the north and western boundaries of this State and the territories
west of us. And although this business, like all other new propositions of
magnitude, has progressed slowly, it has nevertheless progressed substan-
tially ; and although there were many found ready to appear in opposition
to it, as there ever has been, and I expect always will be, to every prop<)si-
tion tendingto promote the important interests of the Nation, and particu-
larly of the Western country, yet I was much encouraged by the progress
it made during the last session, to expect its final success. It may indeed
require more time and greater exertions to effect it, than the interests of
the Nation or the feelings of the Western people would seem to allow ; but
of its eventual success there is now, I appreliend, but little doubt — espe-
cially if the Legislatures of this State and of Kentucky will at their next
sessions come forward with applications to Congress in favor of the meas-
ures, as did the legislature of Illinois at the last session, and as I under-
stand that both that and the Indiana territories will do at the next sesston.
Let Congress clearly understand it to be, as it undoubtedly is, the universal
wish of the Western people, and the measure will be sure to carry.
The time and manner in which this subject was first proposed and the
bill introduced into the House, will probably be remembered bjr most of
you ; and that it lay over for consideration, from the extra session of the

Committee of Unfinished Business at the last session had reported that this
bill with others remained unfinished from the preceding session, as the
Representative of a District entirely upon the frontier, and more particu-
larly as having had the honor to serve as chairman of the select committee
tJiat originally reported the bill, I considered it my duty to call the atten-
tion of the House to the further consideration of the subject, which was
done by the introduction of a resolution, as is customary in such cases.
The resolution was adopted by the House and the subject taken up, with
no opposition except that the Hon. Mr. Taylor, of New York, moved for its
reference to the standing committee of the House on millitary afiairs —
which committee consisted of seven very respectable members. This was
not done by way of opposition, nor had I but one objection to the motion,
and that I stated to tne House, viz., that as the Military Committee had
already an overwhelming mass of business referred to them, it would occa-
sion much delay, and probably crowd the matter off to so late a period as
that we could not obtain the final sense of Congress upon it during the
session. In reply it was stated that, as the Committee on Military Affairs
were charged with devising and proposing a plan for the general protection
and defence, and as the proposition under consideration embraced a plan
for the protection of almost one entire frontier, they ought to have it under
their consideration while framing the general plan, in order that it might
be adopted, if at all. in such form as best to harmonize with the other parts.
It was but fair to acknowledge the proprietv of these suggestions, and I
could say nothing against them but to urge the probability that such would
be the pressure of business upon the hands of that committee, and such the
consequent and unavoidable delay, that the matter wo'd remain undeter-
mined and the coimtry suffer essentially through the non-adoption of a
practicable and important measure. It was, however, thought expedient
that the reference should be made to the Military Committee, and it was
done accordinglv ; and it proved, as I had anticipated, that several weeks
elapsed before they could take up the subject. Late in the session they
assigned a dav, on which I attended and explained before them, at length,
the objects of the bill and the view I had taken in prospect of the advan-
tages of the system, should it be adopted by the Government ; and was so
hap{>y as to learn, soon after, that they had decided favorably, which they
manifested by approving of the bill in its original form and reported the
same to the House without any variation.
The bill so reported was imme<liately taken up and committed to a com-
mittee of the whole House, and made the order of a particular day ; and it
being found on examination that most of the priuted copies had teen lost
during the recess of Conj^'ress, on motion of the cliairman of the Military
Committee it was ordered to be reprinted, and done accordingly.
Here was experienced another cause of delay : the bill being reported at
a late period, was consequently late entered on the list of the orders of the
day, and could not be taken up until it came in course. At lengtli its turn
came, and the House went into committee of the whole upon it, where it
passed through the usual readings and investigation, and received several
amendments which further consideration and some changes of circum-
stances ha<i induced me to propose, and none other. The question was then
taken upon it in that committee, and passed in the affirmative by a hand-
some majority.
I then moved the House to take up the report of the committee of the
whole, that the bill might be engrossed in order to its final passage. To
this there appeare<l strong objections, even with many who appeared favor-
able to the bill and voted for it in committee of the whole. It was stated
that the plan was an extensive one ; that it was entirely a new proposition
since the commencement of the Thirteenth Congress; that it embraced
provisions which would appropriate a great and good body of the pubUc
lands, etc., and that it ought to be well considered; and finally, that if the
House were even to hurry it through and actually pass the bill, there would

not remain time safficient for it to pass through the usulal formSi much less
to be duly examined in the Senate, before both Houses must adjourn.
Since, therefore, it must lay over, with many other of acknowledged impor-
tance, they were unwilling to hasten it through the House at that time.
Ideas of this kind appeared to prevail with many, who at the same time
declared themselves friendly to the plan, and stated their convictions, that
they should at the proper time vote for the bill on its final passage ; in
takmg the question, therefore, of then considering the subject, it was
decided in the negative. Still unwilling, however, that the matter should
be suspended without proceeding with it as far a practicable, after a day or
two had passed, and members having had more time to think upon the sub-
ject, I made another effort to get it up, and called the ayes and noes upon
the question; but the same objections appearing insurmountable to so
many that the decision was the same as before. At the time when this last
vote was taken upon it, most of the Western members were absent, being
pressed with busmess at the several offices, on behalf of their constituents,
for property furnished or services rendered during the war ; but for which
circumstance the number would have been much greater for taking it up,
even at that late day in the session.
Many, as I understand, have been informed that the proposition had
been reiected and the bill entirely lost. To correct this mistake, and to
give to each and every citizen a true understanding of the case, I have been
thus particular ; and I now firmly believe that it must and will eventually
carry if pursued with industry and perseverance. Possibly it may not be
accomplished even at the next session — nor will it be strange, indeed, if it
should not. Many propositions of less magnitude have frequently taken
more time than this will then have done, and after being rejected repeat-
edly and again brought up by the perseverance of those who were friendly
to the measures, have been at last adopted by a large majority, and given
universal satisfaction. But in all the time which has been taken with this
bill no vote has been passed or motion made for its rejection, although it
has been under consideration at two sessions, and twice printed at the
public expense. From all which, together with its passage in committee of
the whole House at the last session, as above stated, I have drawn the con-
clusion that impressions favorable to its final passage are increasing in
Congress, and that with due exertions it will become a law.
Another matter of more local interest, but still of some importance,
relates to the public Post-roads in this and the adjoining Districts. In this
your Representative has had the satisfaction of procuring the establishment
by law of the following Post-roads, pursuant to resolutions which he had
the honor previously to introduce, viz. : From Springfield to Urbana in
the County of Champaign, and from Urbana to Troy in Miami County.
From Athens, the seat of the Ohio Universitv, on the Marietta route, by
New Lancaster to Columbus, and from Columbus, by Franklinton and Lon-
don in Madison County, to Xenia in the County of Greene, there intersect-
ing with the old Post-route from Cincinnati. And also of aiding in the
establishment of a Post-road from Columbus, through the southeast part of
Madison County, by Washington in the County of Fayette, to Hillsbor-
ough in Highland County, in the direction and with a view to its further
extension to Augusta in Kentucky. And here I ought to mention that the
exertions of the Hon. Mr. Alexander, of the 2nd District, were particularly
applied in favor of this latter route — and I experienced his ready co-opera-
tion in favor of the route from Franklinton by London to Xenia. I feel a
pleasure also in stating that Mr. Alexander was zealous in his endeavors,
both in the select committee and elsewhere, in favor of the protection bill
for the Northwestern Frontier.
Resolutions were also introduced by your Representative before the
House, and by them referred to the Committee on the Post Office and Post-
roads, for establishing routes from Granville in Licking Co. to Columbus,
from Franklinton to Springfield in the County of Champaign, and from
Delaware to Sandusky. But the committee and Post Master General were

of opinion that these routes were not immediately necessary, and that to
grant them now would be giving to this District more and greater accom-
modations of the kind than to any other section of the country— they are
therefore for the present rejected ; and it is not probable that another law
will be passed relating to Post-rosids durine the present Ooneress, but the
next law upon that subject will doubtless be passed at the nrst session of
the next Congress, till when we must rest satisfied with what we have
obtained.
My health, which during a considerable part of last year has been but
indifferent, being now in a good degree restored, I shall soon repair to the
seat of Government, where I shall be happy to receive the communications
of my fellow-citizens, either relating to their own immediate concerns or in
matters interesting to the Nation in the present exigence of our public
affairs.
If any of my constituents have claims upon the Government, requiring
to be presented at the public offices, they will please to command me,
accompanying with proper vouchers and instructions, & the best that cir-
cumstances will permit, it will be my pleasure to do on their behalf.
In the general current of our public affairs you are already duly conver-
sant — <fe a minute account of the public acts of Government would exceed
the limits prescribed to this communication. Of the manner in which the
general policy of the Nation has been supported by the voice and votes of
your Representative against the pretensions of our ancient, unjust and vin-
dictive foe, and of the personal attention paid to the claims of those who,
in their persons or by their property, have rendered service to their countrv
in its conflicts and expenditures, it will better become others than myself
to speak. I shall conclude, therefore, by expressing a most ardent wish
that the unanimity and patriotic zeal which have characterized the freemen
of this District in the cause of our common country ma}^ pervade every
section of this extended republic, animating the heart and invigorating the
arm of everv citizen, until the united phalanx of freebom man shall become
impenetrable to the imperious foe — until the ancient invaders of our rights
and present invaders of our land shall be compelled to abandon their
projects of ambition & malice — their hordes of mercenaries and other sav-
ages be driven in disgrace from our borders, and the feet of tyrants and
tyrants' slaves no more pollute the soil of freedom, consecrated by the
blood of the heroes who have fallen in our Revolutionary struggle and in
the present conflict for the rights of man.

On the 28th of December, so much of the report of the Com-
mittee on Unfinished Business as related to the ** bill for the
more effectual defense of the Northwestern Frontier" was
referred to a .select committee, of which Mr. Kilbourn was
chairman. He had the petition o£ the Illinois Legislature and
the petitions presented at the former session referred to this
committee on January 9. He introduced his bill on the 13th.

136 Mr. Kilbaunis Congressional Career. [Oct.
It was read twice, referred to the committee of the whole and,
on February 20, debated and indefinitely postponed. It is
probable that the proclamation of peace with Great Britain
was felt to remove the chief demand for the bill."
He introduced a resolution on January 14 to instruct the
Committee on Public Lands to report on the expediency of
selling the unclaimed lands in the Refugee Tract."
On the 18th he moved that the Committee on Ways and
Means be instructed to inquire into the expediency of laying
and collecting an income tax from such people as have capital
invested in stocks and private loans, from those engaged in
professional or other employment producing an annual income
above a certain fixed amount ; and of increasing the tax on the
income or dividend of capital invested in banking. The reso-
lutions were defeated — 66 to 60. A motion to print them and
call them up some future day was also voted down — 66 to 63.^®
As many of the volunteers and drafted militia in the North-
western army, and under Gen'ls Jackson and Floyd against the
Creek Indians, had lost their horses, he introduced a resolution
instructing the Committee of Claims to consider the question
of paying for them. The resolution was discussed and passed
February 2, but on the last day of the session, March 3, the
whole matter was indefinitely postponed."
Mr. Kilbourn did not attend the first session of the Four-
teenth Congress, which met in December, 1815 ; nor did he
arrive at the sitting of the second session until January 29,
1817.** He seems to have taken but little part in this session,
and to have been absent at many roll calls.
He voted for the bill for the repeal of the internal taxes and
for the passage of the internal improvemnt bill over the
President's veto.**
On the same day, March 3, 1817, the Fourteenth Congress
came to an end.
At one time during his term in Congress Mr. Rilbourn deliv-
ered an oration on Lafayette, before the Senate and House of
Representatives at Washington. In the fragment of the pam-
phlet which I have seen he says : **I am to speak to the North
American States and people assembled here in the persons of
their honored and confidential lawgivers and Representatives.
I am here to speak to them by their own appointment, upon
the life and character," etc., etc.
In 1826, charges were made against Col. Kilbourn in the
Ohio State Journal of September 28, over the signature of "A
Constitutional Elector," which he attributed to Maj. James K.

Corey. He replies to them in a sharp letter to the Ohio Monitor
of October 6. The letter was published as an extra. Among
other things he says :
A few wordfi to the people. I did not take the $1,500 for a week spent in
Congress. I received but little more, if any, than the half of one year's
salary, for the whole term of my membership, two years, in the Fourteenth
Congress. The Thirteenth Congress sat a principal part of the time, during
the whole two years, on account of the war. The President called us into
two special sessions, viz., in May, 1813, and Sept., 1814, besides the two
sessions in course ; during which I was not absent from my place a sinde
day. We were often in our seats from ten in the morning till after candle
lignt. This close confinement so destroyed my health, as not only to
confine me by sickness all the next summer, but to render me wholly
nnable to attend the /Irs* session of the Fourteenth Congress, when the
1,500 dollar bond law was passed. As this mme slander has been twice got
up, by those who haew it to be a slander^ I wish it now distinctly under-
stood that I did not go to Washington City at all, during the first session of
the Fourteenth Congress ; and of course did not receive a cent of money
from the Government that year. My non-attendance was occasionea,
wholly, by severe sickness ; and my death expected for several months.
I did attend the second session ; was entitled to 1,500 dollars, but did not
take it. The members who attended at the finL session, and passed the
jusdy obnoxious law, had so managed to apply that law as to take about
$2,200 at the end of that session; leaving, of course, for themselves to
receive but about $800 for the last session.
When settlement came to be made, although $1,500 was legally my due,
and ofiered to me, I refused it, and took no more than the other members
had left for themselves, at that session.
This whole matter was explained, to the full satisfaction of every person,
four years ago, etc., etc.

THE COLUMBUS POST OFFICE.
The following letter and portions of letters give the facts in
regard to the establishment of the post office and appointment
of post masters in Columbus :
Washington City, Jan. 22, 1813.
Hon, CHdeon Granger ^ Esq. :
Dear Sir — 7 am requested to make application to the P. M. General for
the establishment of a Post OflBce in the Town of Columbus, in the State of
Ohio, with which request I readily comply, believing that the proposed
establishment would be of public utility. Columbus is now established as
the permanent Seat of Government of the State and is situated in the
County of Franklin, on the east bank of the Scioto River, immediately
opposite the confluence of the two main branches of that stream, forty-three
miles north of Chill ico the and nine miles south of Worthington.
Would also take the liberty of nominating to you Mr. Mathew Mathews
as a suitable person for the office of Deputy P. M. at that place.
I am also requested to mention to you that John S. Wills, Esq., Judge
Advocate to the N. Western Army under Maj. Gen. Harrison, has a desire
to officiate as post master for that army only. I have been acquainted with
that gentleman for many years past, and believe him qualified for the
duties of that office and that he would discharge them faithfully if appointed.
I have the honor to be, sir, with great respect,
Your obed't serv't, Jas. EIilboubn.

Mr, McUhew Mathews :
Dbab Sir — You are appointed Deputy Post Master at Columbus by the
Post Master General and the papers are already sent to you, with the books
of directions, etc.
You will of course provide immediately a room for the purposes of the
office, with some faithful hand to attend to it, till you get settled there aa
Ass't P. M. Perhaps Mr. Keen or some person having the care of their
business there can best do it. Of this, however, you will be the best judge.
It will be best for you to see Mr. Kobe and get every information from
him which you may need, for I have a desire that the business should be
done in the best possible manner, and if you succeed in thus doing it, within
a very few years the Post Office in that town will yield a verjr handsome
income. I am confident that you will not fail to do all the business in the
most perfect form and in as good a handwriting as you can. As I shall not
be at home to sign the bond with you, it wnl be best to ask Mr. Kobe
to do it.
I would not mention to any person but him, and recjuest him not to
mention it, that you have the appointment, or have any idea of it, till you
are about ready to commence business.
I think also it is best to remove the store to Columbus as soon as a suita-
ble room can be obtained or one as good as that in Franklinton.
This office may give you a little trouble at first, but will be a handsome
thing eventually, and now was the only time to secure it for years to
come. * * *
With great respect and esteem, I am, Your Friend,
Jambs Kilbourn.
A letter directed to Mathew Mathews, Worthington, Ohio,
and dated Washington City, March 12, 1814, says :
*^ If you conclude to resign the Post Office in Columbus, as I suppose you
will, if you do not go there to live, you had better enclose your letter of
resignation immediately that I may deliver it and get Mr. Buttles appointed
to the office before I leave here. There is so much confusion and rascality
Practiced in the General Post Office, that I can calculate on getting nothing
one except what I attend to personally on the spot.
'*It will be important to our business to keep the office at the north end
of Columbus, and it will aid our business in many respects, as you will
perceive, to have Mr. Buttles appointed when you resign."
On April 10, 1814, he writes to Mr. Mathews :
**Your letter of 29th ult. received to-day, containing memorandum of
goods and your resignation of the Post Office.'*
On April 15, 1814, Joel Buttles writes to Col. Kilbourn at
Washington City, which letter was forwarded to Philadelphia :
"Mr. Griswold, Jun*r, I am told, is extremely anxious for the appoint-
ment of Post Master in this place. He was a few weeks ago talking to me
on the subject, and probably from my seeming indifference became more
anxious. I told him that at present it was more trouble than profit and in
that light 'twas an inconvenience, and were it not for other considerations
would not have it at all, and further, that it was not for me to say anything
on the subject, as it was in Mr. Mathews' hands. Mr. Mathews tells me
that by Mr. G.'s solicitation he has written on in his favor.
*' I snail say now, as I have often done before, that I will never solicit
appointments. Business is, however, greatly increasing and the office will
in a year or two be of use to a man, and I should like to have it on that
account."

On October 14, 1814, Mr. Buttles writes from Columbus to
Col. Kilbourn at Washington :
" They have started a petition in Franklin ton for a Post Master here and
are industriously circulating it. Gardner, I suppose, is at Washington City
to assist whatever may be attempted by his clan here. The strife in elec-
tioneering has been carried beyond all bounds and created much enmity
among manv. Jo Grate is the bitterest enemy you have probably in the
world, and his malignity extends farther than yourself, even to evervone
who is not as malicious as himself. We know nothing or but little of the
returns yet. McCullough has run well by the most extravagant exertions.
♦ * ♦ Their petition will probably go by this mail, and one will be sent
by the next mail for Jacob Grubb to oe appointed P. M. in Franklinton,
but it will not start from this town althougn they have manifested such a
guardian's care among themselves over us here."
This sentence occurs in his letter of December 9, 1814 :
" By this morning mail I received your letter of the 26th ult. * ♦ * i
received also by this mail the Commission from the appointment of Post

Mr. Buttles held the office until removed by Pres. Jackson

AN ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE HON. JAMES KILBOURN
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
At Wobthihgton, August 25th, 1817.
The Committee of Arrangements, Sir, as well for themselves as on behalf
of the citizens of Worthington and vicinity, be^ leave to express to you, so
far as they can express, the great pleasure which animates them at this
happy moment, and their high sense of the honor done them by this visit
of the Chief Executive Magistrate of the United States.
Your eminent services, sir, in various stations through a long career of
public life, have so uniformly merited and commanded our gratitude and
best affections, that we rejoice in this opportunity of expressing those sen-
timents to you in person, and to bid you, and the distinguished general
officers and gentlemen who accompany you, a most sincere and cordial
welcome to this town.
The present auspicious occasion brings to our minds, with renewed force,
a recollection of the perils, the labours, the vxmnds and the triumphs in
which you suffered and bore so honorable a part in the glorious days of the
Revolution ; and of those great and important services which you rendered
to your country during our late arduous conflict with our ancient oppressor.
At a moment the most dark and threatening, when disorder and derange-
ment existed in and public confidence was withdrawn from the War Depart-
ment, finding no objection from the higher station which }rou then held in
the Government, and without dreading the labours or fearing the responsi-
bility, you stepped forward, descending to the Department of War, set in
order in a moment the things that were wanting, and directed the energies
of a brave and free people to Victory, Olory and Peace I
With these things in the view of our mmds, which an American can never
recollect but with gratitude, manly pride and exultation ; as members of
the American family, and particularly as citizens of Ohio, located on the
late frontier and lines of savage war, we cannot adequately express the joy
which we feel that the reins of the Chief Executive Government are placed
in your experienced hands ; that the public resources, improvements and
defences of the Nation, both internal and on the frontiers, are under the
wmediale ob$ervaHon of your eye, and will be directed bv those maxims of
wisdom which your diicriminating mind and practical knowledge furnish ;

GENERAL ASSEMBLY, 1823-4.
The Journals of the 22nd General Assembly, which met December 1,
1823, show that Mr. Kilboum had a very large share in the work of the
session.
The 2l8t General Assembly had directed a revision of the laws, and had
appointed as a committee for that work, Messrs. Dunlevy, Ewing and 8<x)tt.
Tneir work came before the 22nd Assembly for review and adoption and
was on December 18th, referred to a joint committee, of which Mr. Kilboum
was a member.
On the 20th he introduced a resolution instructing the joint committee to
prepare a glossary of Latin and technical terms to be published with the
forthcoming volume of laws. After some opposition this resolution was
adopted by both Houses, and an the 25th, he, with Mr. Higgins, was
appointed on behalf of the House, a sub-committee to do that work. They
reported on February 14th, and after a reference to Gustavus Swan for
approval tlie Apsembly adopted their work. *
Mr. Kilbourn introduced on January 2nd, a long set of resolutions,
beginning—
*' Ist. There shall be no person imprisoned for debt,*' and providing for
exemption from execution of the necessary beds and bedding, kitchen and
table furniture, two months* provisions, the flax, wool and cloth then
idlowed by law ; that a family might retain one cow, two swine and five
sheep ; labormg persons their tools and implements, surveyors their instru-
ments, professional men their books, and military men their uniforms and
equipment.
2nd. Providing that persons making fraudulent conveyances be severely
Sunished ; that every writ be accompanied by declaration of the matter in
emand and served twentj; days before session of court. No stay of execu-
tion for a sum not exceeding five dollars ; for sums exceeding twenty dol-
lars, two months, etc.; that justices shall summon juries on demand of
either party ; that there shall be no appeal on a verdict of less than fifty
dollars, and none on a default payment of less than twenty dollars.
3rd. That courts of probate be established in all organized counties, of
one judge each, elected oy General Assembly.
4th. That courts of chancery be established with one chancellor, and one
master for each county.
5th. That there shall be at least two terms of court in each county.
6th. That justices and clerks shall issue subpoenas for witnesses to any
person applying, on payment of legal fees for the same, which any person
may serve. But no witness shall be required to attend at any court unless
fees are paid or tendered.
7th. That the various committees be instructed to incorporate the fore-
going principles into the several bills or acts.
Which resolution was ordered to lie for consideration.

On the 12th he introduced a resolution for a committee to prepare and
introduce a bill for establishing courts of probate and outlining the provi-
sions thereof. This was disagreed to, and on the 29th he introduced the
bill himself. It was read a second time, but on February 8th the matter
was indefiitely postponed. ■
All of these provisions, except the chancery court, were afterwards
included in the statutes.
On December 11th, 1823, Henry Steece, of Adams County, introduced a
long preamble and resolutions having as an object the relief of those in
slavery, by proposing a scheme of gradual emancipation by purchase by
the Government and colonization. This was referred to Messrs. Steece.
Goodman, of Jeflferson County, and Kilbourn. On January 1st, they offerea
a report favoring the plan, 'which report was, in due time, with some
amendments, aj^reed to.'
He was appointed on the first day of the session, chairman of the com-
mittee to inquire into the condition of the '* Three Per Cent. Fund,'* and
report thereon. He made a full report on the matter, which was adopted
and ordered printed.*
As chairman of the committee who considered the petition for relief of
the bondsmen of H. M. Curry, former State Treasurer, he reported as fol-
lows : " The committee, to whom was referred the petition of Jarvis Pike,
James Robinson and others, securities for Hiram M. Curry, late Treasurer
of State, respectfully report that they have attended to the duties assigned
to them ; have examined into the facts existing in the case and find them
truly stated in the said petition.
By this examination it appears to the satisfaction of your committee that
the purchases of property, to which the said Curry applied the public
money, in the full amount of his defalcation, were all made prior to his
re-election to the treasury office ; that the petitioners had no knowledge of
his defalcation, nor was the fact then apprehended by the Treasury Com-
mittee.
The petitioners certainly had reason to believe that the General Assembly
would not re-elect a known defaulter, nor one with whom, after the annual
examination and report, they were not well satisfied ; and so believing, they
entered into the security bonds in question ; but the actual defalcation was
soon after discovered.
It thus appears that the mistaken confidence placed by the Legislature
in a public officer of their own appointment oi)erated to draw the petitioners
into the unfortunate situation set forth in their memorial and from which
they now apply to this General Assembly for relief.
It also appears that the said petitioners have done more in effecting
security to the State by the property of the said Curry than was contem-
plated by the resolution of the Legislature, in that they have removed
the incumbrances from the property by paying $1,800 in cash, and they
have exhibited with ther memorial the Treasurer's receipt, given in con-
formity; to the provisions of the said resolution, for $55.73 more than the
sum originally due the State from said Curry.
During the time they were making these laudable and efficient exertions,
and to the present time, expensive and vigorous prosecutions have been
carried on against them by the agent of the State, which appears to have
been unnecessary and of course not justly chargeable against them.
From every view of the subject, therefore, your committee is of the
opinion that the praver of the said petition is reasonable and that the said
petitioners ought to be discharged from all their liabilities in the premises,
without further payment.
Your committee therefore recommend the adoption of the following
resolution : Resolved by the General Assembly of Ohio, that Jervis Pike,
James Robinson, Christian Heyl, George Newson, Thomas W. Furnas,

MoCormic, G. Leistanicker be, etc^ etc.
The resolution was agreed to. Tne Senate amended it somewhat and it
was passed. A committee was appointed to look into the condition of the
property and the auditor authorised to rent it.'
A resolution relative to the location of a canal from Lake Erie to the
Ohio river was passed December 22, and he was one of the committee of
seven appointed thereon, but three days later this action was rescinded and
a joint committee provided for, whose report was passed.*
John C. Stockton of Muskineum county introduced a preamble and reso-
lutions January 1, approving the views and opinions of President Monroe
in a late message. Mr. Kilboum voted with the majority in defeating them»
yet on the 17th he voted for the approval of the "Monroe Doctrine" mes-
sase.^
The chief matter of local legislation that he secured was the removal of
the seat of justice for Franklin County to Columbus. He presented several
petitions for the removal and two against it He was chairman of the
special committee to whom the matter was referred. The bill became a law
on February 14th. «
The prison bonds for Franklin County were also defined in the last two
d«ys of the session, his bill passing under a suspension of the rules.*
January 2, 1824, Mr. Collins presented in the House a memorial of the
Grand Lodge of Ohio for the privilege of erecting a Masonic Hall on the
north-west comer of the Public Grounds in Columbus. The matter was
referred to Messrs. Collins, Kilboum and M. T. Williams, who on the 14th
reported a bill authorizing sucb action. The bill passed the house Febru-
ary 2, but was postponed to the next December by^the Senate.*®
He secured tne passage of a bill authorizing D. Pugh to build bridges at
Alum Creek and at Big Walnut Creek.* *
The several bills he introduced for the relief of various parties were post-
poned or left unfinished.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1838.
Mr. Kilbourn and Mr. John W. Andrews, of Columbus, represented
Franklin Countj in the 37th General Assembly which met December 3, 1838.
He was appomted chairman of the Committee on Hoads and Highways.
He was also, January 17, appointed chairman of select committee to
investigate and report upon the * Three Per cent Fund," having on Decem-
ber 22, introducea resolutions requesting the Auditor to report what sum
would be available for appropriation; what counties had received more
than their share ; and whetner any part had been withheld by the Secretary
of the U. S. Treasury.!
These two committees performed an immense amount of work.
As chairman of the Fund Committee he made a thorough investigation,
easier because he had gone over the subject when a member before (1824)
and made two reports setting clearly before the House the real condition
and procuring the passage of resolutions calling on the United States for a
redress of grievances in the matter.*

1908.] The General Assembly of 1838. 148
There was evidently a policy adopted by the Road Committee to refuse
the appropriations of money for improvement of roads already laid out,
because of the high taxes and general poverty of the State, but they recom-
mended the laying out of many new State roads, but not of all that were
petitioned for.'
On the third day of the session Mr. Kilboum offered his favorite plan
in r^ard to local bills, Resolution No. 2. He wished these bills to be so
arranged by the committee that those of kindred nature be consolidated
into a comparatively few bills, thus saving time and expense to the State.
On the 7th his resolution passed and he with Mr. Andrew H. Patterson, of
Delaware, and Joseph Kyle, of Green, were appointed and they reported
a bill. On the 17th he offered a resolution for a joint committee to consider
the matter but by a vote of 39 to 31 the resolution was indefinitely post-
poned, and immediately after, the committee's bill met the same fate by a
vote of 39 to 32.*
On the next day he offered a resolution for a standing committee on cor-
porations but it was voted down. He immediately ^ve notice of the
mtroduction of a resolution to amend the rules to provide for such a com-
mittee. This he did on the 21st and after an effort at postponement it was
adopted. He was appointed as the second member on this committee and
was very active thereon.*
He endeavored to have the Standing Committees instructed whenever
they reported a bill repealing any part of the statutes to specify the parts
intended to be repealed, so tnat no doubt as to the intention could exist.
This resolution passed, but was rescinded two weeks later, e
He also endeavored to procure protection to the State in the matter of
claims for damage by the construction of canals ; and secured the printing
of five hundred copies of the acts of the Assembly for sale at cost to
citizens.^
In local matters he secured the incorporation of the Worthington Female
Seminary, the Blendon Younc Men's Seminary, the Worthington Literati,
The Literary and Botanic College, and introduced a petition for incorpora-
tion from the Trustees of the Worthington Academy. All of these matters
were referred to a special committee consisting of himself, Mr. Andrews
and Mr Patterson, of Delaware.*
One curious action in view of his early opinions must be noted. On Feb-
ruary I3th, he introduced a series of resolutions on the subject of the pub-
Uc land. In these be condemns the late act of Congress allowing the pre-
emption of the public domain and urges its repeal, alleging that no land
should be sold for less than $1.25 cash per acre ; that Congress was a trustee
for the States of this domain and ought to distribute the proceeds of sales
to the States for use of schools and of internal improvements. On the 18th
the House postponed the consideration of these resolutions to the following
December.*
He signed the protest of the Whig members against the banking law.*®
He voted for tne abolition of capital punishment ^ * and of imprisonment
for debt ;** against the bill to pronibit the establishment of a branch of the
U. S. Bank in Ohio ;*« in favor of the bill to encourage silk culture,** and
for repealing an act of 1837, increase the credit of the State to railroad

Remarks on Religious Subjects by J. Kilbourne.
Words not in the Bible, though much used to sustain, what
are called Religious Doctrines, but which should be called
Anti-Religious Errors and Delusions.
Thomas D. Adams,
Front St., between Broad and State St
Original Sin. Original Corruption. Original Depravity.
Original Impurity. Original.
Total Depravity. Universal Depravity. Natural Depravity.
Human Depravity. Depraved Nature. Depravity.
Corrupt Nature. Corrupt Affections. Corrupt Desires.
Corrupt Propensities. Natural Corruption.
Adam's Fall. Man's Fall. The Fall. Fall of Adam. Fall
in Adam. Fall with Adam. Fall through Adam. Fallen Man.
Fallen Race. Fallen Nature.
Indeed the word fall or fallen is not once used in the whole
Bible, in reference to Adam's sin, or any effect thereby on his
posterity.
There are not only no such words in the Bible as those written
above, but there are no such doctrines or sentiments taught there
in any words, as those would have implied, had they been used.
Will any one assert the contrary of this ? If so, let him quote
the words that sustain him, and then let him tell us why he
does not use the language dictated by the Holy Ghost, instead
of words artfully chosen by designing men without the shadow
of authority ; nay, in defiance of authority, to carry out the
unholy purposes of designing bigots in opposition to God's
eternal trutn.
The cause is obvious : If the pure and holy principles of true>
practical religion were set forth before the people, in the

direct and appropriate language of native simplicity, the
apostle of errors and bigotry would rightly consider his conse-
quence lost, as interpreter of the Divine will and decrees.
But this policy, even if the benefit of those engaged in it
only was wisely consulted, would be better if carried on further ;
for if persevered in, it will bring men of principle, talents and
means into the field, capable of demolishing their "Dagon"
at a blow and dispersing their visions of delusions to the four
winds of heaven.
There will also be some danger that those who have the
talents, research and candour to discover and expose such enor-
mous impositions as are continually put upon a confiding people
by ignorant or designing men — men who are themselves
deceived and thus become as blind leaders of the blind ; or
who know the matter well, but have their own motive for
deceiving others, may run into the opposite extreme, and thus
the cause of true religion, the great principles of moral virtue,
founded on the moral attribute of God, suffer even in their
hands. It is one of the greatest evils consequent upon false
teachings that it makes honest people jealous of important
truths.
Some Maxims of Advice in Domestic Economy.
Bj Jamss Kilbournb.
Leave your pillow early in the morning and go to your
business, if you have any — if not, seek some.
Let the first, mild morning rays of the sun shine on your
head, and you shall not want a hat to defend it from its scorch-
ing beams of noon.
Earn your breakfast before you eat it, and the sheriff shall
not deprive you of your supper.
Pursue some lawful calling with diligence, and your creditors
will not pursue you.
Be temperate in all things, and the doctor will seldom, if
ever, find your name on his books.
If you have a farm or a trade that will support your family
with convenience and comfort, and something to your capital
yearly, be content with it, for its well enough, and the true
point of wisdom is, •* Let well enough alone."

A PATRIOTIC SONG.
BY JAKBB KILBOUKNS, EBQ.
TuNB— "Our Flag it There."
Great Hbnby Clat, all men muit Bay
No banner needs for him alone ;
We proudly say, for Henry Clay,
Onr Country's Flag and his are one I
From low beginning how he rose,
Bt his own efforts high to fame,
With brilliant pow'rs that spum'd reposei
And patriotism's holy flame I
Great Henry Clay, Ac.
We raise no special flag for him ;
For none he needs to prop his fame:
His country's glory all his theme ;
His country glorifies his name I
No motive urg'd by wealth and power
Can sway him with the lure of gain ;
He still sustains her ev'ry hour,
His country will her son sustain I
Great Henry Clay, &c
Presiding in the highest grade,
Where freemen, represented meet ;
His country's flag was o'er his head,
His country's foes beneath his feet.
Our flag waves o'er that Congress Hall,
Our Army, and our gallant Fleet ;
Our flag and rights, whate'er we call,
By him sustained, with him we greet.
Great Henry Clay, dec.
When insolence, by British Lords,
With daring aim our rights to mar,
Combln'd with barb'rous, savage hordes,
Involv'd our land in horrid war,
Our Clay then cheered our gallant tars,
And fired the soldier's manly breast,
Till vict'ry hailed our stripes and stars,
With glory crown'd and honor'd rest!
Great Henry Clay, Ac.
When he, with other natriots went
To treat of peace, in foreign lands,
The glorious contract clos'd at Ghent,
Gave proof 'twas done by able hands.
His talents there w splendid shone,
As rais'd him high in public fame ;
And with him, when returning home,
Sweet peace, a smiling cherub came!
Great Henry Clay, &c.
No selfish views were ever known
To sway his course in any form :
With purpose true, unmov'd he shone,
O'erplarty bribes, and partv storm.
Thus, ev'ry in'trest which our flag
Was meant to cherish and deiend,
Has found in him, the man, the sage,
A fearlessLpever-yielding friend !
Great Henry Clay, Ac.
Our country kens a glorious day.
In Forty-Four, that's hast'ning on.
When sne will call her Henry Clay
To guard her rights, her ablest son !
He always for his country stood.
'Gainst IOCS at home, and foes atar;
Devoted to the public good.
In smilingpeace, and deadly war!
Great Henry Clay, Ac.

Payne Kilbourn, in his History of the Kilbourne Family,
says (p. 147) that James Kilbourne was appointed minister of
this parish and served for some years, until the demands of his
fellow-citizens were so great that he resigned his place and
devoted himself to other public duties and his own private
occupations. ** He was active and efficient during this time in
visiting neighboring settlements, preaching and organizing
societies, many of which became and remained permanent
churches. He was once invited to preach, on a special occa-
sion, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, both branches
of the Legislature having adjourned for the purpose and all
the members being present."

152 St. John's Church. [Oct.
On Sunday, March 16, 1817, the Rev, Philander Chase, being
then in his forty-second year, preached his first sermon in Ohio,,
at a place called Salem, on Conneaut Creek, in the Western
Reserve.* Passing thence throngh Ashtabula, Windsor Town-
ship and other settlements in the Reserve, organizing parishes
at Ravenna and Middleburg, he visited Zanesville and Colum-
bus, and from Worthington, on May 12, wrote to his wife to
join him. In a letter dated at Worthington, July 10, 1817, to
his son George, in Vermont, he says : " Yesterday your mother
and myself took a ride on horseback from this place to Colum-
bus, where I found a letter from you dated the 30th of May.
* * * I performed service in this place the first Sunday in
June. The Monday and Tuesday following I agreed to become
the Rector of St. John's Church in this place. Trinity Church
in Columbus, and St. Peter's Church in Delaware, fifteen miles ,
to the north, a county seat ; purchased me five lots in this
village, and a farm of one hundred and fifty acres of land,
within half a mile — both sides of the road — on the way to
Columbus, best of land, sixty acres under cultivation, with a
good apple and peach orchard — fruit plenty — no buildings ;
price two thousand and fifty dollars, one-third down, the rest
in two annual payments. I received from the Trustees of
Worthington Academy the appointment of Principal."* He
then describes his journey to meet his wife at Cleveland, and
his return to Worthington.
On January 5, 1818, according to previous notice very gen-
erally given, a convention of the clergy of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Ohio was held at Columbus, two clergy-
men in full orders and nine delegates being present. They
resolved that they were in communion with the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States of America and unani-
mously adopted the Constitution and Canons of that church.
They adopted a Diocesan Constitution, made a report on the
state of the church, and appointed a committee to raise means
to support a Bishop. They recommended the parishes in the
State to send at least one delegate to the next Convention,
** to meet at Worthington on the first Monday in June next."
The second Convention met on June 3, J 818. Their principal
business was the election of a Bishop, and Philander Chase was
unanimously chosen. He went to Philadelphia, and after four
months' delay was consecrated, February 11, 1819, arriving at
his home in Worthington March 3, 1819.
Bishop Chase had married in Bethel, Vt., in the summer of
1796, Mary Fay, daughter of Daniel and Mary Fay, of Hard-
wick, Mass. Her brother. Cyrus Fay, came to Ohio about the
same time that she did. She died May 5, 1818, and on July 4,
1819, the Bishop married Sophia May Ingraham, daughter of

THE WORTHINGTON FEMALE SEMINARY.
Contributed by Vbb. Louin (Hbath) Wbioht, of Worthington, Ohio.
Miss Serepta Marsh, a thoroughly educated teacher from
Vermont (?), was conducting a private school in Chillicothe.
Her sister, Mrs. Maltby, having settled in Worthington, she
determined to visit her, and having found the people alive to
the advantages of education she decided to open a school for
girls. She began in one room on a side street, but her success
was so great, and the regard of the citizens so marked, that the
Masonic fraternity rented to her the lower floor of their build-
ing, where the school continued for two years.
Miss Marsh was a Methodist. With the support and active
co-operation of the Rev. Jacob Young and the Rev. Uriah
Heath she obtained the endorsement of the Methodist Confer-
ence at Xenia in 1838. Col. Kilbourn, then in the Legislature^
introduced a bill to charter the Worthington Female Seminary,
on February 6, 1839, and on March 9th the charter was granted,
naming as Trustees, William Bishop, Buckley Comstock,
Thomas V. Morrow, Rensselaer W. Cowles, Potter Wright,
Moses Carpenter, Ozam Gardner, Joab Hoyt, Jacob Young
William Herr and Uriah Heath.
The citizens of Worthington subscribed some $1,500 ; a lot
of five or six acres on the east side of Main street in the south
part of the town was purchased, the foundations laid deep and
strong, and a three-story building erected, which was dedicated
in the presence of over fifteen hundred people in 1842, the
Hon. Samuel Lewis, of Cincinnati, delivering the oration.
A peculiar interest is attached to this from the fact that Mr.
Lewis, then a candidate for governor of Ohio on the Free Soil
ticket, was a lineal descendent of Rev. John Robinson of May-
flower fame. From that hour until the celebration of reunion
of the 46th Ohio, nothing like it was ever seen in Worthington.
It was uplifting — a dawn of brighter days — better things — full
of encouragement for the despondencies of the past and half
buried hopes for the prosperity of the future.
Miss Marsh was an educator to the "manner born," one fully
capable of imparting her thoughts to those under her care.
Strenuous efforts were hers — they characterized her life — and
the motto, " Twine around thy brow the unfading wreath of
happiness and virtue," was through her, enabled to become the
thought of after life — the hope and expectation of the future.
From her we learned, in order to succeed in all that pertained
to our lives, then and ever after, required the possession of
three things : design, contrivance, and skill. Showy accom-
plishments were shunned, while spelling was examined with
scrutiny and great care. So successful was she that her pupils
became known as such years after ; and while many disliked
her '* morning lectures " or " daily bread," when girls emerged

into women, with erateful hearts they acknowledged all'w^s
done with a desire for their future well being, and she received
the welcome plaudit well done.
Her assistants, Sarah M. Tucker and Maria Tucker, from the
Granville Female College (Presb.), and Miss McGill, music
teacher, gave general satisfaction.
Miss Marsh continued as Principal until her marriage with
the Rev. Henry Baker, in 1842.
She was succeeded by Alexander Nelson, a native of Ver-
mont, who came to Ohio in 1835, and to Worthington, from
Norwalk, Ohio. He remained till about 1846. He was after-
wards President of the Iowa Wesleyan University, at Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, and connected with the Baldwin University, at
Berea, Ohio. The late Professor E. T. Nelson, of Delaware,
Ohio, was his son. Under Mr. Nelson, Miss Carpenter was
Pupil Asssistant ; Aaron Rose, a blind man, and also a part of
the time Miss Swindell taught music.
Mrs. Jane M. Z. Nelson was preceptress. From a mere child
her parents decided her sphere in life was to instruct others,
and carried out their intentions to the letter. She was sent to
New Orleans to study French, and no doubt needle-work, from
the efficiency manifested therein ; at any rate, we girls thought
her fully equal to any and every requirement made upon time
and talents, those of the " Queen of the Kitchen " excepted.
The Misses Smith, two estimable women and excellent
teachers, succeeded Mr. Nelson, remaining some four years.
They were two lovely, excellent characters and beloved by all.
One of them married the Rev. Dr. E. P. Kidder.
Rev. E. M. Boring was principal in 1847. Mrs. H. L. Porter
and daughter of Washington, D. C, ably assisting him. of
whom it can be truly said, their equal to-day can scarcely be
rivalled ; and no wonder, for this school had the reputation of
being the best west of the mountains.
In 1853 Mr. O. M. Spencer was Principal, followed by Rev.
Benj. St. James Fry of Cincinnati, a man with no mean reputa-
tion as an artist, a preacher, student and teacher, and who later
filled some of the highest positions in the church.
From 1853 the school gradually lost support and was closed
in 1857. The cause of this was the increasing attraction of
the co-educational idea at Ohio Wesleyan University, at Dela-
ware, only fifteen miles away.
The standards of scholarship in this institution were always
of the highest, and a failure in work was considered a digrace.
The ideals of refinement and culture were equally high, and the
impress of this school for higher aspirations and noble living
was placed on a great number of central Ohio women.
The tuition was five dollars per quarter, with music, painting,
French, drawing, etc., three dollars extra. Board was two
dollars per week.

WORTHINGTON COLLEGE, OHIO, REFORMED
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.*!
By Habyey W. Feltkr, M. D., Professor of Anatomy and Chemistry in the Eclectic
Medical Institute, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The space occupied by the following sketch of Worthington
Medical College precluded an extensive article on the reasons
for the establishment of such a venture. Suffice it to say that
the medical practice of the early part of the century was of
such a heroic character that many physicians, not to say a large
proportion of the people, rebelled. The necessity for reform
in medicine had come, and many were the systems inaugurated
to accomplish such a reformation.
Among those who combatted the current practices of the
day was Dr. Wooster Beach, of New York City. He soon
gathered around him men to assist him in his work, and among
these we find those who were so prominent in locating and
maintaining the medical school at Worthington. Briefly the
career of that institution is given in the following paragraphs.
Necessarily the New York school is referred to in order to pre-
serve the historical connection between the two schools :
Dr. Beach, while a member of the N. Y. Co. Medical Society,
attempted to introduce his afterward widely-famed Reformed
System, Here he failed to receive encouragement, but, on the
contrary, met with the most intense opposition. This led him
to emulate the example of the celebrated John Hunter, by
opening for clinical instruction, in the city of New York, the
United States luftrmary? In this he was aided by some of his
former pupils ; for he had, since about 1825, clinically instructed
students at his house in Eldridge Street. The Infirmary was
established as early as the spring of 1827,* and subsequently
expanded, first into the Reformed Medical Academy (1829), and
later (1830)' into the Reformed Medical College of the City of New
York, The latter flourished until 1838, and was regarded as
fully as efficient and as well-equipped for instruction as any
medical college of that day. It was not, however, classed
exactly as Eclectic. Soon after (1829) the establishment of
the Academy, Dr. Beach, together with Drs. Thomas Vaughan
Morrow, Ichabod Gibson Jones, and John J. Steele, all regular
graduates in medicine, and others, formed a society under the
name of the Reformed Medical Society of the United States, Dr.
Beach presided. The membership was composed chiefly of
young physicians possessed of marked energy and enthusiasm

for the new cause. This national gathering appears to have
antedated other similar bodies in this country.* On November
29, 1829, the following officers were chosen for this body :
" President, W. Beach, of New York City ; Vice-President,
John J. Steele, of Fayette County, Pa.; Secretary, Thompson
Richardson, of Marietta, Pa.; Treasurer, G. W. Downing, city
of New York ; Board of Examiners, Thomas V. Moreau (Mor-
row), Hopkinsville, Ky.; Amzi Sanborn, Parsonsfield, York
County, Maine ; S. A. Stanley, of Farmington, Conn."* At a
meeting of this society held in New York City, May 3, 1830,
the following resolutions were presented and adopted :
** Resolved, That this Society deem it expedient to establish
an additional school in some town on the Ohio River, or some
of its navigable tributaries, in order that the people of the
West may avail themselves of the advantages resulting from a
scientific knowledge of Botanic Medicine.*
''Resolved, That Dr. John J. Steele be sent, on or before the
middle of August next, to explore the towns on the Ohio
River, from the head of navigation to Louisville, in order to fix
upon an eligible site for a Reformed Medical Institution, and
in case of failure, to proceed further west or south.^
''Resolved, That any information from the citizens in any of
the towns on the Ohio River, concerning the location of this
contemplated Institution, will be thankfully received.
" Resolved, That those who contribute towards erecting the
edifice for said school, shall be repaid in full, in medicine and
attendance by our Faculty ; or in the instruction of such young
men as they may choose to have instructed in the principles of
the New System.
"Resolved, That these proceedings be signed by the President,
Vice-President and Secretary, and that the editors in the West
be particularly requested to give them one or more insertions/'

The progress of empire was rapidly making its way west-
ward, and the great Northwest Territory offered apparent
advantages to the farseeing Beach and his sagacious associates.
Worthington was not five years old when an act of incorpora-
tion was obtained from the Lep^islature,® February 20, 1808, for
a school to be known as the Worthington Academy, Under this
name the institution was conducted "with a good degree of

success," until the eighth of February, 1819,' when a new
charter was granted, incorporating the school as Worthington
College. When the act incorporating the college was passed,
the act of incorporation of the academy was repealed. At
this time the trustees of Worthington College were : Philander
Chase, James Kilbourne, Thomas S. Webb, Chester Griswold,
Recompense Stansberry, Chauncy Baker, Stephen Maynard,
Ezra Griswold, Benjamin Gardiner, Orris Parrish, Lucas SuUi-
vant and Leonard H. Cowles.*®
Section i of this Charter reads as follows, and is here inserted
to disprove the allegations advanced *' that the institution has
no power to confer degrees;" and again, "that it had no
charter at all : " — An act to establish a College in the town of
Worthington .•"
" Section 1st. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, That there shall be a college instituted and
established in the town of Worthington, in the County of
Franklin, on such lot or lots of land, in said town, as the
trustees hereinafter appointed may procure by purchase, grant,
gift, or otherwise, by the name and style of * Worthington
College,* for the instruction of youth in all the liberal arts and
sciences; in virtue, religion, and morality ; and for conferring all
the degrees and the literary honors granted in similar institutions ^
Acting upon the conviction that ** the great American idea
of medicine was to take permanent root " in the " mighty
West,'* Dr. Beach issued a circular," and sent it to various
points in the West and South, the object being to elicit such
information as would enable him to make a judicious selection
in locating a Reform£d Medical College}^ Fortunately one of
these circulars came to Worthington College. Evidently with
a view to municipal expansion, liberal offers were made to
rising institutions to locate in Worthington, and accordingly,
at the instance of Colonel Kilbourne," the trustees sent an invi-
tation to Dr. Beach, offering him the advantages of their
charter and use of their building for his proposed medical
school in the West.
Upon the acceptance by Dr. Beach and his associates of the
offer of the trustees to establish a medical department at
Worthington, an amendment to the above mentioned charter

college In Worthington. After Chase's trouble with Ken yon CoUejare, ne never returned to
Wortnington, and indeed, at that time, would have had no influence, as he was then
extremely unpopular in that town. He should be remembered, however, for his efforts in
securing the charter for Worthington College (In 1819). the institution upon which the
medicaldepartment was later engrafted. The honor of locating the medical department
in Worthington belongs to Colonel Kilbourne.

was said to have been made in 1829, establishing such a depart-
ment of the college " for the purpose of studying the medical
resources of our country, in addition to the ordinary curriculum
usually pursued in medical colleges."'^ According to Dr.
Wilder, the Worthington Medical School "has the distinction
of being the first institution of the American school ever
created under the direct authority of a legislative enactment,""
The plan of opening a school in the growing West was now
fully matured. The liberal offer of Colonel Kilbourne and the
other trustees of Worthington College, offering their charter
and edifice for the establishment of a medical department,
seemed providentially to open the way for the advance of
medical reform ; and, losing no time, preparations were at once
made to open the •* Reformed Medical College of Ohio" better
known as the *' Medical DepattmeTtt of Worthington College^
According to the Resolutions of the Keformed Medical Society
(which see), Dr. John J. Steele, "a reformed Allopathic physi-
cian of rare accomplishments,"" was sent by Beach to examine
the place, and if approved, to accept the offer and make the
necessary arrangements to open the school.
The new institution was finally opened for instruction in
December, 1830,'* "with professors duly qualified to give
instruction in all the regular departments of medical science, as
well as collateral branches by lectures, examinations, etc., with
Dr. John J. Steele as President, but owing to some difficulties "
(irrelevant to our subject), "it soon became necessary for Dr.
Steele'* to vacate his situation in the school, and it was filled
by the present incumbent [Morrow], in the course of the ensu-
ing spring." (T. V. Morrow). Seven or eight students
attended the first winter session ; the number increased during^
the summer, so that in the winter of 1832-3 from fifteen to
twenty were in attendance. "The most untiring efforts were
made at this early period of its history, by its enemies, to
prostrate it, by the dissemination of every species of falsehood
and slander which the most envenomed malice could devise.
No pains and trouble were spared to excite in the public mind
predjudices against its peculiar principles and practices."**
16. Alexander Wilder. The School at Worthington, in JSWcrtic Medical Jowmnl, 1894,
p. 551. In the Laws of Ohio, appears no record of this amendment. Indeed, it woold
appear doubtful from the wording of the act (which see), abolishing the medical depart-
ment, whether such an amendment was ever made, but rather that the college operated
under the elasticity of the clause in the charter of Worthington College (I81d). reading:

This " proved only partially successful in misleading the pub-
lic,"*^ for at the next session (1883-34), thirty attended ; thirty-
three or thirty-four the succeeding year, while in attendance
upon the session of 1835-36. were forty students.
Ten months of lectures, divided into spring and summer, and
fall and winter terms, constituted the annual course ; the winter
sessions at $50 in advance, or $60 at the close of the term ;
$20 to $25 being the fees for the summer session, in which the
lectures were not so full, but in which a full course on botany
was included, with practical studies in the botanical garden in
connection with the school."
Closely following Dr. Steele, came Dr. I. G. Jones, in 1830,
and finally upon the disaffection of Dr. Steele, Dr. Thomas
Vaughan Morrow, a native of Kentucky, a graduate in Dr.
Beach's Reformed Medical College, and occupant of the chair of
Obstetrics in his Alma Mater, who had been left in New York
to make fuller arrangements for the new school, came to
Worthington, and in 1831, upon the recommendation of Dr.
I. G. Jones, was selected by the trustees as president of the
enterprise. Though but twenty-five years of age, his master
hand was at once seen, and, upon taking the oath, he delivered
an address of which Professor Bickley writes: "Which, in
literary, scientific, and reform merit will forever stand unparal-
leled as a master effort of a master mind. Had Morrow never
made another stroke with his pen, that essay alone would have
marked him for a man of giant intellect."" In speaking of the
school at this time, Dr. I. G. Jones says : " I was for a time
comparatively single-handed. The chosen head [Dr. Steele]
of the institution was, at best, but imperfectly taught in the
principles of true reform, and knew but little of our system of
practice. In fact, he was but recently a seceder from the old
school ; but he was a man of most decided talents and scientific
attainments. Flushed, however, with the success attendant
upon our treatment of the cases first intrusted to our care, and
the growing influence connected therewith, he began indulge
in habits incompatible with the moral sense of the community
in which we were placed, and, failing thereby to meet the
expectations of the trustees, he resigned and left the State.**
The college now started out with Dr. T. V. Morrow, presi-
dent, and Drs. I. G. Jones and J. R. Paddock, as professors."
In 1836, " The Western Medical Reformer^ a monthly journal of
medical and chirurgical science, by the medical professors of
Worthington College, editors and proprietors," was launched
to advocate and disseminate the doctrines and practice of the

Reformers. The cause flourished. The Wortkingtan Infirmary
was opened for clinical instruction, in July, 1837. The condi-
tion of the reform movement may be inferred from Professor
Morrow's statement in 1836.** He wrote : " There are now, in
different sections of the United States, about 200 regularly
educated scientific medical reformers, who have gone forth
from the New York and Worthington schools ; besides, a con-
siderable number of old school physicians, who have come out
and openly declared themselves decidedly in favor of the
improved or botanical system of medical and surgical practice,
so far as they have been able to become acquainted with its
principles."" Though the term "botanical " is here employed.
Beach and his followers never had anything in connection with
the Thomsonian System, as is fully shown by the unrelenting
attacks upon the Reformers by the Thomsonians, whose acrim-
onious utterances were no less vituperative than those of the
dominant school.
The college edifice** was an oblong, two-storied brick struc-
ture, well lighted, and painted a bright red color. Surmount-
ing it was a cupola protecting a bell. This bell now calls the
children to their studies in the commodious and elegant public
high school buildings which stand almost upon the spot where
the old college was located. The anatomy room, well lighted,
was equipped like an amphitheatre. According to a student"
of that day, the college possessed excellent chemical apparatus,
and it was really a good place in which to get a medical edu-
cation. The old college building was torn down in 1875.
The leading professors of the college were men of great
ability and extensive attainments. Dr. J. L. Riddell, who early
filled the chair of chemistry, resigned in 1832 or 1833, and was
later connected with the chair of chemistry in the University
of Louisiana, and with the medical department of Cincinnati
College (literary and scientific). Professor Riddell was suc-
ceeded by Professor Jonathan R. Paddock, M. D., a fine scholar,
who had previously held a professorship in the literary depart-
ment of Worthington College. ** He was an excellent chemist,
a splendid botanist, and a friend of Mr. SuUivant, of Columbus,"
whose fame as a botanist was national. ** Professor Mason was
a good anatomist, and an interesting lecturer." Professor Day
is described " as a fine lecturer, but was not so decidedly for
Reform as was Dr. Morrow, and he would occasionally pre-
scribe some form of mercury." " Professor Morrow was a man
of great medical knowledge and energy. In addition to his
college duties he had an immense practice. He sometimes

lectured on anatomy, and was able to take the place of any of
the professors. He gave no calomel, and was decidedly for
botanic medicines. His favorite alterative, which was perhaps
given more than any other, was Macroiys racemosa (Cimicifuga).
Some of the students called him * Old Macrotys/ *'**
As stated above, the college started with a Faculty of three
professors. The Announcement" (signed by T. V. Morrow,
M. D.), of July 14, 1836, makes the following arrangement for
the approaching session :
T. E. Mason, M. D., on Anatomy, Physiology, and Surgery —
Eight lectures a week.
J. R. Paddock, M. D., on Chemistry, Botany, and Pharmacy,
I. G. Jones, M. D., on Diseases of Women and Children, and
Medical Jurisprudence,
T. V. Morrow, M. D., on Materia Medica, Obstetrics, and
Theory and Practice of Medicine,
The succeeding year (1837),** Dr. Morrow added Physiology
to his duties, and dropped Materia Medica, which was taught
by Joseph B. Day, M. D., who also taught Surgery, Professor
Mason assuming Operative Surgery. The July, 1838, Circular
announces the resignation of Professor Truman E. Mason, and
the appointment of Richard P. Catley, M. D., to the chair of
Anatomy and Operative Surgery. This proved an unfortunate
venture. The December number, 1838, closing the third vol-
ume of the Western Medical Reformer, announces in the college
catalogue, " in order to prevent imposition on the public," the
following list of professors *' from the commencement of the
medical department of this institution to the present time : "**

All but Drs. T. E. Mason and J. B. Day, are also named in
the list of graduates of the institution.
Subsequently, Dr. A. Bronson,** a graduate of the college, is
said to have occupied a professor's chair for a brief time at
least, and Dr. B. F. Johnson, son of Governor Joseph Johnson,
of Virginia, another graduate, was also a professor, remaining
through the succeeding dark day of the college. Moreover, a
diploma of 1840 is signed by Colonel James Kilboure, as presi-
dent ; Drs. T. V. Morrow, J. B. Day, I. G. Jones, J. R. Paddock,
and G. W. Chevers, as members of the Faculty.**

164 Worthington Medical College. [Oct.
In an Annual Circular and Regulations^ relating to the medical
department of Worthington College, issued as a Western Medi-
cal Reformer Extra,^ ]\i\y 8, 1839, reasons for the diminished
classes are given, and a new set of regulations adopted, which
it was hoped would remedy some defects in the organization.
This circular also states that the fall and winter course will
have five lectures daily, and continue five months ; the spring
course provided for lectures on each alternate day, to continue
three months. The last week of each session was set apart for
examinations, for graduation, and for the granting of degrees.
At no other time could degrees be granted, excepting honor-
ary, unless by a special act of the Board of Trustees. The
Faculty arrangement for the fall and winter term of 1839 (with
fees), was as follows : — " Anatomy and Physiology ($12), T. V.
Morrow, M. D.; Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence ($12),
G. W. Chevers, M. M.; Theory and Practice or Medicine, and
Midwifery ($10), J. B. Day, M. D.; Surgery, and Diseases of
Women and Children ($10), I. G. Jones, M. D.; Botany, Materia
Medica, and Pharmacy ($10), J. R. Paddock, M. D." " Fees
for each professor's ticket for the spring and summer course,
$5. Graduation fee, $10. Use of dissecting rooms, $3 —
optional." This circular is signed by the president, James
Kilbourne ; the secretary, R. W. Cowles, and by J. B. Day,
M. D., as Dtan, It has generally been stated that Dr. Morrow
was always Dean, but this circular shows such a view to have
been an error.
The path of the Reformer is at no time easily trodden.
Worthington Medical School, with its promoters, shared the
common lot of pioneer institutions. Although for the most
part the Faculty was unusually harmonious, dissensions gradu-
ally arose which were to darken the way for Morrow and his
faithful associates. When Dr. I. G. Jones, owing to increasing
practice in the Capital, was obliged to remove to Columbus, a
graduate of the institution (in 1832), Dr. D. L. Terry was called
to a professorship, and was also taken into partnership by Dr.
Morrow. Not long afterward he began to sow seeds of discon-
tent among the students, and at last, in May, 1836, went over
bodily to the Thomsonians, and subsequently engaged in
acrimonious disputation through the Botanical Recorder -with the
Faculty at Worthington.
For the first few years the college was in a thriving condi-
tion, and much enthusiasm was shown by Faculty and students.
For nearly ten years the Faculty supported the institution
without the least outside aid. Liberal State appropriations
were made to the Ohio Medical College, then the leading Allo-
pathic college in the West, but no such liberality was shown
the Worthington College. The college edifice was none too

well adapted for a medical institution, and money was needed
for more chemical apparatus, to fit up and more fully furnish
the anatomical museum, and for a library. Repairs were also
very much needed. The tuition fees had thus far been applied
to keeping up supplies. However, as before stated, the Fac-
ulty, more so than of most infant institutions, was unusually
harmonious, but the lack of funds began to be felt by all.
Colonel Kilbourne^ suggested that the Legislature be memori-
alized to appropriate funds, and private benevolence was
appealed to. Further, in 1834, in a private letter to the Hon.
Thomas Ewing, United States Senator for Ohio, he had im-
portuned the latter to urge Congress to make an appropriation
of public lands in the northern portion of Ohio for the benefit
of Worthington College, but without success, owing chiefly to
the temper of the times. It had become evident, however,
that the town was too small and out of the way ever to become
a great medical center, and this, coupled with the animosities
of its enemies, as well as the difficulty of procuring anatomical
material, led to the consideration of a plan to abandon the
Worthington College and remove the school to Cincinnati.
Dr. Richard P. Catley, of the chair of anatomy, had now become
" a bitter enemy to the further advancement of the school, and
adopted the most unwarrantable measures to effect its destruc-
tion."** Removing to Delaware, Ohio, he circulated unsavory
items concerning the manner of procuring dissecting material.
Nothing so inflames the people as the violation of the sanctity
of the sepulcher. But it must be remembered, that in this
matter the Worthington College was not one whit different
from other medical colleges of that period, all of which pro-
cured anatomical material chiefly from the potter's fields of
various cemeteries. Up to this time no provision had been
made by the State (by statute, as is now the case) for furnish-
ing anatomical material. The Faculty had used its utmost
endeavors to prevent violation of family lots, and had, as neces-
sity compelled, only countenanced the disinterment of pauper
subjects — such as is now freely permitted by the laws of the
State.** But the enemies of the college were now at work.
" Exaggerated pictures of sepulchral robbery," most horrible
and repulsive tales of resurrection, greatly exposed the Faculty
to an indignant populace, and several suits for disinterment
were threatened. The class dwindled to about twenty ; in
1838 the Western Medical Reformer was suspended, and the
Infirmary closed. Criminal charges were brought against Dr.
Morrow, of which he was acquitted. The majority of the Fac-
ulty was disheartened, but Dr. Morrow never lost heart. ** On

two occasions the sheriff and posse surrounded the college and
made thorough search for bodies, but such was the complete
arrangement that none were found. Afterward, however, a
hiding-place was discovered, and a body was found and taken
away. ** Exaggerated newspaper accounts were given of the
" Resurrection War," as it was termed. The trouble was largely
instigated by non-residents, the citizens of Worthington being
favorable to the college.
The climax was reached in the autumn of 1839. A Mrs.
Cramm, of Marietta, O., died at the State Insane Asylum, and
owing to the deep mud roads to Columbus, her relatives did
not arrive in time to claim her body. For some reason or other
she was hurried in the potter's field — then located where the
Union Depot of Columbus now stands. Upon the arrival of
the Cramms, they found that the grave had been disturbed.
Upon opening it they found no body. Suspicion was at once
directed to the Worthington Medical College, and the flame
was fanned by the college enemies. Two other graves were
found to have been opened. On one memorable day, news
came that there was to be an attack on the college building,
and that a great company of men were on their way from Del-
aware for that purpose. The students and their friends, by
chance, got word in time to arm themselves with pistols and
shotguns, and every kind of firearm that they could procure,
and fortified themselves in the college building. At length the
mob arrived. A lawyer named Powell, from Delaware, made
an inflammatory speech. The infuriated rabble first searched
the house and office of Dr. Morrow, but found nothing. Behind
the house, however, search revealed the dead body of a negro
ensheathed in a shock of freshly cut corn. Their fury now
knew no bounds ; a pitched battle was fairly averted in Wind-
sor Street, and Dr. Morrow and others defended the college
with rifle in hand. It is said that battering-rams were erected
for the demolition of the building. Finally, some one betrayed
the Faculty, by placing in the hands of the mob the key to the
college edifice. Dr. Morrow, seeing that further resistence was
useless, stepped out and announced his determination to yield,
provided the Faculty be allowed to take with it the movable
college property. This request was granted. Had an attack
been made, the Esculapians would certainly have fired upon
the mob. Entering the building, the latter found what was
believed to be the body of Mrs. Cramm upon the dissecting
table. The collece at Worthington had received its mortal
blow, and its enemies exulted. But it was to rise again in a
more favorable locality, and outlive the machinations of its
enemies. The Legislature (March 20, 1840*') passed the fol-
lowing enactment :
41. Ibid.

The financial crisis of 1837, and its results for the succeeding
seven years, with its political entanglements, tariff agitation,
and changes in the banking system, which so materially em-
barrassed the business interests of the whole country, was
strongly felt at the Worthington Medical College, and con-
tributed no little to its final abandonment. Though deprived
by law, of the power to confer medical degrees. Dr. Morrow
still hoped that the tide would turn in his favor, and it is said
that he continued to instruct students at Worthington until
1842.
In the class of 1832 there graduated from the Worthington
school two men who were to become conspicuous in Eclectic-
ism — Drs. Lorenzo E. Jones and Alexander H. Baldridge. See-
ing the futility of any further attempt to revive the medical
department, Dr. Baldridge, who had located in Cinninnati in
1840, and a Mr. Mills, who afterwards lived in New York City,
persuaded Dr. Morrow to remove to Cincinnati, and there
renew his efforts for medical reform.
This school, so formed — The Reformed Medical School of Cin-
cinnati, and the successor of the Worthington Medical College, was
the direct predecessor of the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincin-
nati, chartered in 1845, and to-day the leading exponent of the
Eclectic practice of medicine.
A few words concerning the men connected with the Worth-
ington Medical Department may be of interest.
Dr. Thomas Vaughan Morrow was born in Fairview, Ky.,
April 14, 1804, in the same house in which, four years later,
Jefferson Davis was born. He was of Scottish and French
descent, and his ancestors emigrated to America, settling in
Virginia at about the beginning of the French and Indian War.
His mother was of English descent. Dr. Morrow was educated
at Transylvania University, of Lexington, Ky., and in medicine,
in New York City. He became a disciple of Dr. Beach and
subsequently held the chair of Obstetrics in the Reformed
Medical College conducted by the former. When but a young
man of twenty-six he was placed at the head of the Worthing-
ton enterprise, and from that time on he was the leading medi-
cal reformer in the West, and the master-organizer of the new

faith. He posessed great firmness of purpose and rare execu-
tive ability. For years he was the master-spirit of the new^
school, and when it failed he did not, like some of his col-
leagues, lose hope, but with a faith worthy of the cause, trans-
ferred his school and its small following into the midst of
antagonistic environments and began anew the dissemination
of the peculiar doctrines and tenets of the new practice. Here
his efforts were crowned with success, and he had the satisfac-
tion of seeing the fruits of his labors before his death, which
occurred of dysentery, in 1850. Dr. Morrow was massive in
person. He was a versatile man, often without preparation
assuming the duties of the absent professors of the school.
He enjoyed a large practice among the best class of people.
His wife was Isabel Greer, of Worthington. After his deaths
Dr. Morrow's observations on diseases and their treatment
were published by Dr. I. G. Jones, together with his own, as
yones and Marrow* s Practice of Medicine, a work of very great
merit. Dr. Morrow's great work was the founding of the
Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati. He was the first
president of the National Eclectic Medical Association, and an
incorporator of the Worthington Female Seminary.
Scarcely less distinguished than Dr. Morrow was Dr. Ichabod
Gibson Jones, who was born in Unity, Waldo Co., Me., June 18,
1807, and died of consumption at Columbus, O., March 14, 1857.
Like his distinguished colleague he was educated in medicine
at the Medical Department of the University of New York, and
became a professor in Dr. Beach's New York school. Remov-
ing to Worthington he became a strong factor in the medical
school and soon became known far and wide for his skill as a
physician. Moving to Columbus, he was appointed physician
to the Ohio Penitentiary, a position rarely bestowed upon any
but those of the dominant school. In 1833 he married the
daughter of Col. James Kilbourne. Upon the death of Dr.
Morrow, Dr. Jones was called to fill the deanship of the Eclec-
tic Medical Institute of Cincinnati, but owing to failing health
he was obliged to relinquish the position. ** He was a typical
pioneer, large, active, strong, the type of a noble man, and one
that made his mark in every pursuit."
One of the most scholarly, though less aggressive of the
froup of teachers at Worthington was Dr. Jonathan Roberts
addock, who now " sleeps the sleep of the just " in old St.
John's Churchyard at Worthington. He was born near Crom-
well, Conn., November 19, 1803, and died of paralysis of the
heart, in Maysville, Ky., June 7, 1878. He graduated from
Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y., under the celebrated
Dr. Nott ; became a professor in the literary department of
Worthington College, and subsequently assisted in organizing
and maintaining the medical department, in which he remained
a steadfast friend and teacher as long as it existed. He was a

splendid botanist and competent chemist, a skillful physician,
and a classical scholar of extraordinary attainments. He was
truly a noble character, modest and retiring, yet affable and
dignified. His second wife was Jane Bristol of Worthington.
Old St. John's Churchyard also embosoms the mortal remains
of Dr. Benjamin Franklin Johnson. He was born in Bridge-
port, W. Va.; the son of Joseph Johnson, twice governor of
Virginia ; a graduate in medicine from the Worthington Medi-
cal College, and a teacher in its halls during the dark days of
her career. He also held the physicianship to the Ohio Peni-
tentiary. In 1840 he married Emily Griswold, of Worthington.
His grandson, Hon. Newton L. Gilbert, was recently lieutenant-
governor of Indiana. The diploma, of which a cut is here
shown, was that issued to Dr. Johnson by the Worthington
Medical Department.
Dr. John Leonard Riddell was a teacher in the literary
department of the college when the medical department was
organized. Early in the career of the latter he served for a
brief period as professor of chemistry. Dr. Riddell was born
in 1807, of Scotch and Irish descent. He was not only a good
teacher, but acquired an international reputation as a scholar
and scientist. While engaged in a scientific exploration of
Texas he wrote a ** Symposium of the Flora of the Western States!*
Many new species were discovered by him, and one genus,
Riddelha, bears his name. In the days when the microscope
was in its infancy he became an expert manipulator of that
instrument and attained an enduring fame by inventing the
binocular microscope. As early as 1836, Dr. Riddell identified
himself with the Medical College of Louisiana, the germ of
the present Medical Department of Tulane University, where
he held the chair of chemistry until his death, in 1865, a period
of twenty-nine years.
Of Dr. John J. Steele but little is known. He hailed from
Fayette County, Pa., and was active in selecting Worthington
as the location for the new school. He was a man of attain-
ments, and while entrusted with the important mission referred
to above, he never possessed the full confidence of Dr. Beach.**
His intemperate habits and moral obliquity soon brought upon
him the displeasure of his associates, and he was superceded
as the head of the medical department by Dr. T. V. Morrow.
Upon leaving Worthington he attempted to injure the school
and so strong was his influence that it seems to have been
feared by Dr. Beach. He was a bitter enemy of Dr. I. G.
Jones, but was willing to have his differences settled by Dr.
Morrow, who seems to have been a favorate with everybody.
Dr. Steele died shortly after leaving Worthington.
Of the teachers less prominent, but little record has been
preserved. Dr. Truman E. Mason removed to Cincinnati, and

finally to New York. He was accounted an interesting lecturer
and good anatomist. Dr. Joseph B. Day was for a brief period
dean of the medical department, and is said to have been a
fine lecturer. He subsequently engaged in the manufacture of
chemicals in New York City. Dr. D. L. Terry went over body
and boots to the Thomsonians or "Steam Doctors," as they
were termed, and Dr. Richard L. Catley removed to Delaware^
O., where he waged a relentless war against the medical school
at Worthington.

Ezra Griswold, b. in Simsbury, Conn., Dec. 6, 1767, d. in
Worthington, Ohio. Oct. 22, 1822. He was a son of Elisha
Griswold [son of Samuel] and Eunice Viets [whose parents
were John and Lois (Phelps) Viets].
He m. Nov. 8, 1789, Ruth Robets, b. Jan. 24, 1768, d. May 31,
1847. She was dau. of Lemuel Roberts [who was a son of
Lemuel and Abigail (Beaman) Roberts] and Ruth Woodford
[who was dau. of Samuel and Mary (Thompson) Woodford].
They lived in Simsbury, where six children were born to
them, till 1803. He was a brother of Bishop Griswold and a
friend of James Kilbourn, and joined in the latter's plans for
emigration to Ohio, subscribing for 500 acres in the Scioto
Company's agreement.
He started with his family from Connecticut on Sept. 15,
being then almost thirty-six years of age. The family arrived
at the present site of Worthington Oct. 29, 1803, the first
family to reach the grounds.
In the division of the town lots he received Nos. 16, 17, 61,
62, 78, and of the farm lots, No. 45, containing 52 a., north of
town ; No. 76, containing, 62 a., and No. 77, containing 93 a.
These two were in the eastern tier of lots south of State street.
On the town plat of about 1820, he has acquired Nos. 41, 42,
55, 56, 57, 58, 73, 74, 75, 76, being the entire block between
State and Bradford, Pearl and Evening streets ; No. 53, on
Main street, and No. 54, in the rear of it. On 53 was built the
house shown in this number, in which his widow resided for
twenty-five years. He also had No. 11. on the west side of
Main, the second from North street, and Nos. 85 and 87, on the
north side of State street east of the Academy lots.
He was Clerk of the first parish meeting, held April 3, 1804,
and was elected Reading Clerk, and usually read the lessons
when Mr. Kilbourn was absent. He is the second in the list of
incorporators in 1804, and at the meeting in 1805 was elected
Second Trustee and continued to hold that office for years.
He opened the first tavern in 1803, built the first frame house
in 1805, and is said to have kept the first store.
In 1808 he was elected Justice of the Peace ; re-elected in
1811, being succeeded in 1814 by Isaac Case. But in 1815 he
was again elected, and re-elected in 1818, retiring in 1821.
On the organization of New England Lodge, No. 4, he
became the Secretary.
" Mr. Griswold was a plain-looking, well-built man, about five
feet seven inches high, always spare in flesh, rather thin face,
but generally healthy and very athletic. In his youth he
seldom met with a man who could excel him in those manly

When the Scioto Company was formed eight of the men
were from Blanford, Mass., viz., Atwater, Morrison, Morrison,
Jr., Thompson, Stewart, Sloper, Cochran and Little. They
subscribed for more than one-third of the shares. By the
kindness of the Rev. Sumner G. Wood, Pastor of the Congre-

bury colled Scotland. He had eleven children, all by his first wife, of whom one of the
youngest was Abner. [Hist, of Ancient Windsor, Ct., p. 749.]
Abner Pinney,* b. 1750. He served in the Revolutionary
War, and although not an officer of that rank, was ever after
called "Captain." In theSimsbury Records, p. 240, he is called
"Lieut." He signed the Scioto Company's agreement for 860
acres. His son Azariah signed for 100 acres (the name was
copied into the Records Zaciah), and his son Abner Putnam
signed for 100 acres with Isreal P. Case. In the distribution he
received town lots Nos. 70, 54, 59. 102, 127, 128, 129, 130, and
farm lots No. 22 of 93 acres. No. 60 of 100 acres. No. 84 of 72
acres. No. 88 of 60 acres. Of these, Nos. 22 and 84 were the

11, 1804, was signed by his sons Abner P. and Levi, under
power of attorney. They also signed for their brother Azariah.

veys to the son two parcels of land, one the north half of farm
lot No. 22, extending from the tier line to the river, being 46 a.

disposed of, No. 70 belonging to Kilbourn, No. 128 to P. Hunt,
No. 54 to E. Griswold, No. 59 to Webb, who had No. 60, east
of it, corner of the Green, across the street from Griswold.
He was probably the oldest member of the Scioto Company
who emigrated to Ohio. The following appears upon his
gravestone, besides the Masonic emblems :
Capt.
ABNER PINNEY
died Nov. 23, 1804
in the 55 year of
his age.
Here Abner Pinney lies, the kind^ the jost,
His flesh returning to its kindred dust.
True friendship dwelt within his faithful heart,
Yet from his dearest friends was cal'd to part,
And now we trust he's landed on that shore
Where death ne'er comes, and friends shall part no more.
Mrs. Pinney was Ruth Gillet, of Granby, Conn. Her grave-
stone is inscribed as follows :
In
memory of
MRS. RUTH
Ck>n8ort of
Capt.
ABNER PINNEY
who died March 28
1806
in the 55 year of
her age-
Beneath or near this monumental stone
A mother's form is laid, her spirit gone ;
True to her vows she shared a matron's fame
And kind to all ; her children bless her name,
And now her earthly joys and sorrows cease
Her soul, we hope, has reached the realms of peace.
The children of Capt. Abner and Ruth Pinney were :
i. Ruth Pinney, b. July 28, 1774.
1 ii. AzABiAH Pinney, b. July 26, 1775.

P. P. Stewart, bom at Sherman, Conn., 1796; buried atPittsford, Vt, 1868.
John J. Shipherd was the son of Hon. 2^bulon R. and Elizabeth B. Shipherd, and
waa born in West Granville, Washington Co.. N. Y., March 28, 1802. He was educated
at Pawlet Academy and prepared to enter Middlebury College, but through an acci-
dent his health and eyesight were so impaired that study was impossible. In 1824 he
married Esther Raymond, of Ballston, N. Y., and removed to Vergennes, Vt., to engage
In the marble business. He had assumed that his poor eyesight, which prevented him
from reading more than a few minutes continuously without intense pain, precluded
the possibility of his preparing for the ministry, but after a long period of indecision
he entered the study of Itev. Josiah Hopkins, of New Haven, Vt., wnere he spent a year
and a half in theological study. His first pastorate was at Shelbume, Vt. Later be
took a commisHion from the American Home Missionary Society, but never worked
regularly as a missionary. He was installed pastor of the church at Elyria, O., in 1831,
and the next year entered upon his work of laying the foundations of Oberlin, the
colony and college. In 1844 Mr. Shipherd removed nis family to Olivet, Mich., purpos-
ing to build another Oberlin, profiting by the experiences of the first, but be lived
only a few months. His wife returned to Oberlin with her boys. When the sons were
Sown she lived with them in Cleveland. There is a memorial window to her memory
the Plymouth Church at Cleveland.
Philo Penfleld Stewart was born in Sherman, Conn., July, 1798. He was appren-
ticed to his uncle at Pawlet, Vt., at the age of fourteen, for three years, to learn the
trade of saddle and harness making, and he was given each year a term at the Pawlet
Academy. He hod a natural mechanical beut and was famed as a whittler in his
childhood. At the age of twentj'-three he accepted an appointment from the American
Board to a mission among the Cboctaws in Mississippi. He made the Joumev of
almost two thousand miles on horseback, a pair of sadalebags containing his whole
outfit. The oflacers of the Board furnished him seventy dollars for his traveling
expenses, but from the time of starting he entered on his missionary work, preaching
the Gospel to the families along the wav until he reached the Choctaw Nation, at an
expense of only ten dollars for himself and horse. He preached to the Indians for
several years, later having the help of a young man and three young women, one of
whom, Eliza Capen, he afterwards married. In 1831 his broken health compelled him
to resign his mission work and return North. He had since his boyhood corresponded
with his schoolmate, John J. Shipherd, and in 1832 Mr. Stewart joined him at Elyria
and went with him to Oberlin. Their idea for the college was a place where study and
labor might be combined and the whole establishment conducted upon such princi-
ples of thrift and economy that enterprising students could defray all their expenses
Dv their labor without any detriment to their progress in study. During the year at
Elyria preparatory to the final settlement at Oberlin, and while Mr. Shipherd made a
tour of the East to secure lands, funds, colonists and students, Mr. Stewart was espe-
cially occupied In the work of bringing to perfection a cooking stove which he had
invented, and which was known as the Oberlin stove. This was the beginning of the
Stewart cooking stove, which afterwards became so well known throughout the
the countrv. After four years at Oberlin Mr. and Mrs. Stewart removed to Troy, N. Y.,
where the Stewart stoves were manufactured. He died Dec. 13, 1868.
Alfred Avery, died June 9, 1852, aged 61 years 4 months.
Elizabeth P., wife of Alfred Avery, d. Dec. 13, 1855, aged 67 yrs. 2 mos.
George N. Allen, died 1877, aged 65.
Mr. Allen was the first Professor of Music at Oberlin College. He was from Boston,
a pupil of Lowell Mason. He was also Professor of Natural History and Geology. He
compiled the collection, '• Hymns for Social Worship," and was a composer of hymns
and music. The hymn beginning, " Must Jesus bear the cross alone? '* is attributed
to him in many collections, but was his more by discovery than composition. He
found in an old book a hymn '' Must Simon bear the cross alone? " which he changed
to the well-known words. He composed the stanza which is now written as the
second. He also composed the tune "Maitland." After retiring from the professor-
ship he removed to Cincinnati, where he died in 1877. His son, the late Frederick D..
Allen, was Professor of Latin in Harvard College.

department of heraldry and to the literature of book-plates, a field in which
she has long been a close siudent, but also a beautiful art book suitable for

printed with clear black t3rpe on glisteningly white paner with wide mar-
gins. The frontispiece is an exquisite engraving by Mr. W. F. Hopson,
representing Mr. Charles W. Sheroem, the greatest living engraver, at work
in the famous Chelsea studio. On the title-page is the charming vignette
engraved by Mr. J. W. Spenceley, which marks all of the issues of this
interesting private press. No electrotyj>es were made for the text of the
book. The tyx>e was hand set and the impressions for each chapter made
from the direct face of the type ; the material for each being distributed to
use in the next chapter. The following outline of the contents of the book
will show its general character :
Chapter I. The subject in general.
Historical outline, mottoes used in heraldry, cadency, per-
sonal ex-libris.
Chapter II. Special book-plates and their values.
Early plates, plates by famous artists, proof remarque
plates, autographic plates, plates of celebrities.
Chapter III. Artists of the past.
Descriptive list of the great artists of all countries.
Chapter IV. Modem artists.
Chapter V . Classification and arrangement.
Chapter VI. Book-plate Associations, clubs and societies.
History of each and lists of publications.
Chapter VII. Institutions and individuals collecting book-plates.
Includes descriptive items of each collection and cor-
rect address of collector.
Index. A very complete index by subjects; includes all names men-
tioned.
One of the special features of the book sure to be much appreciated by
collectors is the addition to the chapter on Modem Artists, of lists com-
plete to date of the book-plates made by prominent artists. These lists
include material never before permitted to be printed, and in each case the
list was revised by the artist and its publication authorized. The book-
plate of the author is one of the really fine engravings of the book and
represents the old family homestead at !2anesville, Ohio, and also the pretty
cottage at Granville, Ohio, for which the pi-ess is named. The book-plate
of the "Ohio Alcove of the Manilla Library, of the Columbus Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revolution ' also has a prominent place in
the work, as has fdso many historical items of special interest to readers of
the "Old Northwest** Genealo|pcal Quarterly. The book promises to be
soon out of print. The edition is limited to 900 copies and already half of
that number have been spoken for by collectors of the issues of private
presses, book-plate material and antiquarian and genealogical data. Few
books have appeared this year of greater value to tne students of heraldry,
and the lovers of art.
AvJtdbiogra'j^hy of Maj. Samuel Oregg, 1806, A brief pamphlet of eleven pages
written m 1806 when Mr. Gregg was 66 years of age. Published by flie
Greffi Genealogical Co., of St. Louis. Mr. L. L. Uregg, Gen4 Mana^^r
and Editor, 132 Front St., Burough of Manhattan, New York, and cir-
culated with a view to increasing interest in the work of the company.
The editor, Mr. Gregg, wants to hear from all the of the family in the
country. He deserves and should have the help of all of that name in his
efforts to collect information. The pamphlet is a most interesting story of
the son of one of the Scotch Irish settlers of Londonderrv. He was a sol-
dier in the French wars of 1758, and responded to the Lexington Alarm
from Petersboro, N. H., where he had settled with his young wife with
whom he lived for over forty years. He gives an interesting account of his
family history. F. F. C.

To those interested in the genealogies of old Essex, Union and Morris
County (N. J.) families.
For some years I have been collecting data conceming the families i.|
this vicinity, and I now have, I believe, as large a collection as any othei
Sereon. I have made a Hpecialty of Revolutionary history and family recordi
own to the beginning of the nineteenth century, when sa many removes
from New Jersey to the AVest. I have copies of' over two thousand tomti
stone inscriptions prior to 1850, and abstracts of several hundred wills, d
relatingato this vicinity.
I am glad at any time to furnish information from my collectioDe at
moderate cost, or to make special investigations. Applications for admi^sio
to the patriotic societies filled out. If there are any missing links in vut
ancestry, write me. Perhaps 1 can help you out. Correspondence soHcitei
