For years I have had it in vie-.v to prepare for publication cur fairily tree, which woul'l necessriale
a traditioual history of foieigu ancestors in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. One object of the book is ic
preserve in one volume all that is authentic in regard to the ancestral lines of several families thai: axe
closely related by frequent intermarriages. 1 hope by this work to rescue from oblivion anciept
tradition that would soon be lost, beyond the reach of anyone who might hereafter desire to write oiii
famil)- history. The most troublesome and tedious part of the task was collecting necessar}' documeut;s,
old letters and ancient family records. Important contributions have been obtained from David Wilsoii,
Miss Maud Wilson, James O. Houston, V. A. Jlilroy, Mrs. S. J. Traylor, Mrs. Nannie Grain, Horace
Stafford, and others. In fact, it is very gratifying to me that nearly all to whom I have applied for informa-
tion have responder. promptly and cheerful;}-, giving me not 0!ily their immediate family record, !>ut have
kept up an interest in the undertaking, searched out others, and located for me scattered members of tnt
different families. To them, all 1 beg to return a warm acknowledgement of their kind assistance.
Several obstacles have retarded .the progress of the work of completing the manuscript; but tb.:;'
has been an advantige; it gave me lime to examine, more minutely tb.e authcrities and make a be'.ter
arrangement of the matter to be published. i
In the biographical sketches it has been my aim to conjprise as nuich as possible in the smallest
compass, and lo select from each of the branche.': represented some prominent one deserving of notice. I
regret that for want of sufficient data I am compelled to leave without special notice so many worthy ones
The scholar will undoubtedly find nir.ch to criticise in the literary style of the book; but 1 trust all erro!
and impeifectious witl be kindly vicv»-ed, and thai ii may meet with favor from the many relatives wb-. j

I-RF.FACE.
Ours is not such an ancestral line as ihat of "Margaret, the motlier of criminal.?." We can look
back with gratitr.de ai;d pride to the noble Christian mothers whose influence stili continues iron:
generation to generation.
I do not claim an ancestry free from moral deficit, nor is it always just to judge a mother bv the
waywardness of her children, but we can truly say that noble characteristics mark otir line all the vvav
and we have among ns a large proportion of men and won.en of rare ability and integrity who will rran.<^'-
^it to their posterity the respectability, morality, energy and talent, which -44i':'characterized our lace in
no small degree. If I have awakenud a more general interest in our distinguished ancestors and secured
for them a better appreciation my object will be fully accomplished. With many of you I have h
pleasant communion and with all 1 hope to spend a happy eternity and congratulate eacli of you in
family reunion above, with our names all written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

tluit the first step in
civilization was d'.s-
tinc-:ion of ranks ;
and heraldry was
serviceable as the
means of marking
this distinction. The
name arms must be
ascribed to tlie fact
that these emblems
were tirst worn bv
military commanders on tlieir shields, banners '--r
oth^ r inirtial instrnments.
The most nsefn! purpose of this science was
to sicnalize merit; and preserve the memory of the
illns'r-nobs. This -cill always secure it from
contempt.
Tlie hereditarj- use of arm.s to distinguish
f&niilies did not begin until the year 1230. The
armed Knight was known by his shield and crest
on which the figures marked his family and the
nation to v,hich he belonged. These armorial
ensigns of the warrior I.,ord ornainented the walls
of hi3 c,"stlc where thc-y acted as a nieiuentc of the
past and a stimulus of the future. .\lso ariuorin!
ensigns of f.iiuily d!sti;;Ctioii were exhibited on
household furniture, on plate and coins. These
honorable families were vc-r) tenacious of their
bearings as the privilege of using them was limited
and select. Now the general bent of tl;e bumau.
mind is turned irom the ideal to the useful and
this has cau.sed the decadence of heraldr}-.
It is a pleasure to cherish with piide the
honorable eniblcms which distinguished cur ances-
tors and descended uudefiled to their posterity.
In our l.iud of equal rights and distinction to
all whose gcniility njavbc the result of their ov.ui
exertions or ability, vnx are content to rest securely
under tlie American eagle, stars and stripes ; and
as we resign these family crests, e5r:b!en;s of the
past we may distinguish or.rrelves noblv by another
armor: "The gospel of peace, breast-plate of
righteousness, shield of faith and hciniet of salva-
tion."
" It's better to be meanly, born and good,
Thau one unworthy of his biood ;
Though aii tliy walls .shine with thy pedi-,-.
Yei virtue alone marks nobillLy. ''

Sir Herbert Maxwell has truly said that the Scottish nation owes its very existence to Robert Bruce,
nd dearly they keep his memory.
There are some things in his early life that his most devoted admire'/s could v.-ish to see erased from
he pages of history. But when we consider the age in which he lived the customs of warfare, low
itandard of morality and the trying circumstances iu which he was placed, we can easily drav.' the mantle
jf charity over all his faults and inconsistency. Admitting his short comings as a n;an, as a King hf
never gave his subjects cause to blush for him. After he v.-as crowned King he followed a single purpose
with heroic courage, wise judgment and quick disceruraent.
No truthful historian has attempted to charge him with cruelty. lie was humane and eveu indulg-ent
to prisoners of war, forgiving and generous tov/ards his enemies. He alv/ays desired peace v.'ith England,
yet would stoop to no dishonorable terms to obtain it.
Had he lived longer he would have displayed the same energy, in the affairs of peace an ity,
for which he was so conspicuous in war. The following from Historia "Majoris Britannia" i.s all we
know of his appearance and personality:
His figure was graceful and athletic with broad shoulders. His features v;ere handsome, he bad the
yellow hair of the northern race, with blue and sparkling c}-es. Kis intellect was quick and he had the
gift of fluent speech, in the vernacular, delightful to li.sten to.
.Genecilogy of Bruce.,

with William the Conqueror in 1066; and received in princely reward for his services the grant of ninety-

that was remarkable in one suffering as he did
with the infirmities of age. His memory which had
always been good became unusually clear, enabling
him to recall events in his early life on bis death
bed at the age of eighty-three. His love of read-
ing wac a solace to him through all the labors and
trials of his life, and a delight in his decline,
when all but mental pleasures had become extinct
for him. He was quite a musician in his day.
Played beautiful Scotch airs on the flute and
taught the old fashioned singing schools in country
school houses.
When a boy he manifested a talent for rhym-
ing that would have gained some notoriety for him
in after years, had he persevered.
His nephew, Blair Wilson, wrote to him in
1S5G to send him some of his early attemps at
poesy, but he could not remember his boyish
rhymes, and wrote him the following in reply.
Those lines you want I can't now quote,
For they have slipped uiy mind;
'i -lose simple doggerel rhymes I wrote,
I'd days of Auld lang syne.
jr man)' years have swiftly tied,
Since that delusive time:
".■•'hea rhyming fancies filied my head,
In days Oi Auld lang syne.
Since life's realities I've tried,
Such follies I resign;
Those rhymes in which I took such pride,
In days of Auld lang syne.
I often visit yet the spot,
Where boyhood joy s v,-ere mine;
And naught can from ray memory blot,
The scenes of Auld lang syne.
My aged parents living yet,
Were then in life's full prime;
Though altered now I'll ne'er forget,
Their looks in Auld lang syne.
Your worthy sire who now is not,
But long since passed from time;
Comes up in nsany a cherished thought,
Qf' days of Auld lang syne.
How many friends by death removed,
Have I 10 dust consigned;
Yet I've some as dearly loved,
As those of Auld lang syne.
My you)igest darling baby pet,
We call her Eveline;
Was r=ent by lieaven to compensate,
For friends of Auld lang syne.

Since days of Auld lang syne.
The issues in the election in the fall of 1892
suggested the following lines from Mr. Wilson.
He died in a couple of weeks after the poem was
written.
The good old days when I was young,
Are much to be lameuted;
For people lived so happy then,
And always were contented.
They had enough for present use,
And never strove for riches;
In summer wore tov,- liuen clothes,
In winter buckskiu breeches.
In wooden troughs and other ways,
Beef hides were tanned to leather;
And made our shoes for rainy days.
Or for inclement \seather.
We ate our meals with pewter spoons,
And paid but little taxes;
Cut down trees to catch the coons,
With blacksmitirs hand made a.xes.
For meal v,e punctured bits of tin,
Ou this the corn was grated:
Then sifted it with sheep-skiu sieves,
With holes well perforated.
Fat bears and bucks we killed for meal.
And then we shot wild turkeys;
Some would even possum eat.
Like Old time southern darkies.
For any kind of svveeteniug goods,
We did not pay the money;
For hollow trees throughout the woods,
Were stowed v/ith luscious hone\'.
But little money had we then,
Yet each one a great defender;
Of sound finance. And coon skins made
A lawful legal tender.
Politics in those good old days,
Was one united faction;
For all the votes ^\e e^-er cast,
\Vere for old General Jackson.

were Thomas Brown Wilson and Ann (Lowry)
Wilson, earl)- settkrs of Indiana, the former being
a tanner, at which trade Francis was brought up.
Afler the age of fifteen years, our subject
taught school for about five years. During a por-
tion of the time, however, he attended Hanover
College. In 1857 he went to Centralia, Illinois,
where for two years he taught school and surveyed
and also began the study of law, borrowing books
from Judge Bruce. He then taught school and
studied law for a couple of years at Paoli, Orange
County, Indiana, and in 1S62 was admitted to
practice at the bar of that county, and the same
year was appoiuted Provost Marshal, which office
he held during the remainder of the Civil War.
While in Paoli he foimed a connection in the
practice of law, with Col. A. !M. Black. He
remained iu Paoli until 1867, when he located in
Bedford, Indiana, forming a partnership with Col.
A. C. Voris, and afterward with Hon. .Moses F.

Hon. Francis Wilsoii.
On last Sundav- the sad news reached Paoli
that Judge Wilson had died at his home in Bed-
ford on the morning of that day.
The remains were brought to Paoli for inter-
ment. Funeral services were held on Monday
afternoon, and were attended by a %-ery large con-
gregation. Able and interesting discourses were
delivered by P.ev. Frazier, of the Presbyterian
church, and Rev. John Stalker, of the Baptist
church. \'cry nearly all the members of the Bar
and county officers of the tenth circuit, and of the
Ear of other circuits, were present.
Judge Wilson's reputatioi: as an attorney and
Jurist was not limited to his ov/n circuit. He v,-as
known tliroughout the state as one of our ablest
Judges. But perhaps the people of Orange county
felt a livelier interest in his career than those of
any other co.-nraunity. It wai here the fouiidation
of that career v/as laid. Here his first iauiels as
3n attorrov vr^re gaine-d. Hce those habit? of
industry and promptness and inte';iity and fidelity
which were so strongly characterized iu bis life,
first attracted public notice aud gained the fast
friendship of the many good citizens, who have
stood by him in every vicissitude.
He was not an eld man, being but foity nine
years of age, and had his general health been
good, he would have been in the full vigor oi
manhood. His mind, however, was always clear
and quick of perception. There seemed to be no
such things as knotty law points with him. He
would dispose of, in an instant, all questions that
other lawyers had been puzzling their miuds over
for days. If there was a better judge in the state
of Indiana than Judge Wilson, no one knev; v/bo
he was.
When on llie bencli he knevr no politics, no
religion, no friends, no foe, all stood on ec^nal
footing in his court.
He was the special champion of ti'.e rig
the widov/ and orphan ; and woe was the
the man who attempted to trifle with their
in Judge Wilson's court. Socially he was a
hearted man. The poor and oppressed alwa)

a wealthy man. As it is, he has left behind him
a host of friends wEo will ever have a warm place
ior his memory, in their hearts.
[From Saturday Courier, Bloomineton, Inii.j
A meeting of the members of the Bar was
held here Sunday sfternoon to attend the funeral
of Judge Wilson, to be held at Paoli.
A committee was appointed to prepare suit-
able resolutions and present them at the nieetir:g
of the members of the Bar and citizens to be held
Thursday night, at the court house. Also a com-
mittee was appointed to drape the court room in
mourning, which performed their v.-ork very taste-
fully, draping the Judge's desk ar.d chair. A
black streamer was also stretched in front of the
court house, beneath a large photograph of Judge
Wilson. Inside streamers of crape ran from post
to post and festoons of crape were suspended from
the walls in the rearof the Judge's desk. Thus it
was that the place so recently busy scene was now
turned into a house of mourning.
Those who spoke at the memorial meeting
Thursday night, were Major Mulkly, R. A. Fulk,
.: R. East, W. F. Browning, J. V\^. Bn.skirk,
;..'•.• !. E. Brant,, W. P. Rogers and J. E. Henley.
Ir. Browning':, speech especially was very
interesting and touching. His duties brought him
near to Judge Wilson and he learned to cherrish
him as a very dear friend. He said, no purer nor
better Judge ever sat upon the bench of that court
house. Many tears were shed during the meeting,
for no public man ever endeared himself to the
hearts of the people as had Judge Wilson.
The following is the report of the committe
on resolutions.
WHKREA.S: It has pleased God to remove
Hon. Francis Wilson, Judge of this, the tenth
Judicial circuit, from our midst b}' death;
Therefore: Be it resolved by the m.embers
of Monroe county Bar and county oiilcers, that in
our estimation Judge Wilson was an able, unriglit
and honorable Judge, whose scholarly attainments
added luster to his profound learning as a lawyer.
That he was a good citizen, a sincere .^'riena, and
a devoted and faithful husband and father.
Resolved: That we shall ever rem-ember
him as a man whose heart for his fellow man was
tender and great. Ahvays on the side of right.
As a lawyer, true to the cause he espoused, active,
earnest, forceful.
An opponent v,-hose power was only equaled
by his affability and uniform kindness to the one
he opposed.
i8
THOMAS ADDISON WILSON.
As a Judge, oue in whose heart and mind
ceutered houesty, justice, discrimination, iu short
all the qualificstions for that high office. By his
death the community has lost a citizen of uuiur-
passed integrity, the Bar, a member of almost im-
uneqnalled ability, the profession, a Judge une.x-
celled.
Thoxnas AddiBon "Wilson.
Thomas A. Wilson was born in Scott county,
Ind., in /S40. Prior to the lebelHon he attended

•John Wilson.
John Wilson wis boru in Lonoonclerry Comity,
Ireland, about 1739. His fath(?r, William Wilson,
was a wealthy lauded proprietor of a large and
valuable entailed estate, which liad descended for
several generations from father to eldest son. The
heirs were always named William and John alter-
nately, i. c. W'illiaui world name his tirst borii son
John, and John in turn would nam.e \\\% eldest son
William. Their ancestors \\ ere fiom Scotland and
England. John Wilson received the estate at his
father William's death in 1765 and soon after
married a Scotch woman by name of IMargaret
Moffat, by whom he had several children. During
the insurrections in Ireland and trouble vs'ith
England John took an active part in the political
and religious conflicts. Eelongir:g to the Orange
Organization, he opposed the Roman Catliolics
with bitter auimc.=ity. He was also oppose'l to
union with England and spared neithei time nor
monc}' to further ti;e cause of liis party.
With tlie imp-ulsive nature that we know lie
possessed, we ma\ easih' conceive tlie fact that he
made enemies and was more than generous to his
friends.
He lived extra'i'agantly. Kept hounds. Had
frequent hunting parties on his estate. Enter-
tair.ed with such lavish ho.spitaiiiy that he became
fiiianciaii)' cmbijTa^^std.
The inability to pa)' iiis. debts ■:wc 'Itipaii irig
of Iielands independence, induced h.iin to lake
passage for America in 1785, but he dieJof slrip
fever on the voyage aud was buried in tlie sea,
\Vi!liam, his eldest son and heir, a lad of
eighteen at the time of his fath^^r's death, came to
America in 1790 and settled in Peniisylvania near
1:!S cousin, another William Wilson, whose daugh.-
ter Margaret he married in 17^8. This cousin had
married Elizabeth Bruce, a native of Scotland,
and lineal descendant of King Robert Bruce. They
liad seven children, of Vy'hom Margaret was the
eldest. After their marriage u'illiani and I'Niargaret
lived in Wasliington County, Penn., until e'ght
sons were born to tiiem, two died in childhood —
George and James. In iSiv they removed to Ohio
and in 1816 came down the Ohio river in a fiat
boat to southern Indiana ; settled in Scott County,
v.drere W'illiam died in 1855 snd Margaret in 1S56.
Henry "Wilson.
Hcrir)-, another son of John Wilson's, came
to America about the year 1799 under the follow-
ing circumstances: He learned that England
feared another revolt in nortlieru Ireland and v.as
going to disarm all opposed to her rule. Henry
had a \'cry fine gun which had belonged to iiis
father. thi;> he secreted in a bog to prevent th.e
King's o:ciccrs from gettii:g it ; but a:i English spy
saw him and led tiie f.fficers, who were collecting
arms, to the .spot v/hcre it v.'a.s buried in the bog.
Henry wa>; d'rspe;-a''r at the loss of ]•;- vahiabic
relic, and a'.te:npted by force to rc-ck.im it. }:■/
HKNRV wn.sox.
severely wonsded the officer and received a sword
cut in his owa breast wliich "left an ugly icar. As
tlie penalty for resisting the King's ofScers was
death, Heurv was secreted by an uncle until he
secured passage for hini to come to America. He
came to Pennsylvania and married Jane Dill, by
whom lie Iiadeight children. Ho died on his faim
near Washington, Peun. His son Samuel J.
Wilson was an eloquent Divine, a!id one of the
most prominent men in the Presbyterian church.
His biography is given elsewhere.
Thomas Wilson, also son of John Wilson,
cnme to America and settled in ilorganfiekl, Ky.,
about iSoi. He married; but no children or grand
children have been found.
Another Thomas Wilson came to America in
1S12 and married Hanna/-,Brown in Washington
County, Fenn.. Tvro of their sons, James and
William, married and removed to Monroe County,
Ohio. This last named Thomas Wilson who
married Miss Brown was a nephew to John who
died on ship aad a brother toVi'iiiia^who married
Elizabeth Bruce. He died in Washington County,
Pa. Thia Hannah Brown was a sister to John
Brown who married Miss Houston and lived
in Nelson County, Ky. The Browns were a fine
family very inttllectua! and somewhat aristocratic
and dignified for those back woods times.

Margaret Moffat Wilson.
Of Margaret Moffat who married John Wilson
in Londonderry county, Ireland, in 1767 we know
but little. She was a Scotch woman. Tradition
says she was of same family as Robert Moffat, the
celebrated missionary, born in Scotland in 1795.
A letter written by her to her son William in
1S12 is still in existence, and it will have place
here, a.^ it shows better than any other way the
motherly and loving Chiistian spirit of the dear
old woman.

Thomas Biowu Wilson tvas born on his
father's farm in Washington county, Pa., Nov. 22,
1822. He entered Jefferson College at the neigh-
boring to'ivn of Canonsburg, and graduated in
1849, taking the second honors of his class. He
giad.iatcd from the Wc:;tern Theological Se.mi-
nary in 1852. Hs was licensed to preacii Apiii,
.185.2, by what v.ts then called the Presbyter) of
Ohio, ar-d was ordained by tiiC same Presbytery.
He was pastor of the v'-^ixth church of Pirts-
burg, Pa., 1852-55. and of the Presbsteriau church
of Xenia, O., 1S55-5S. He married Miss IMarga-
ret P. Saunders in 1853. He died v^•hile ou vaca-
tion at Canonsburg, V?... Sept. 21, 1S5S. He left
two children, Rev. Maurice E. ^'\'i]son, now pastor
of the First church of Dayton, O., and Rev. Cal-
vin D. Wilson, now pastor at Franklin, O.
Rev. Thomas E. Wilson v,-as a man of fine
pulpit pov.ers, and deep piety. He was an excel-
lent scholar, and an attractive and iuspiiing orator,
and had he lived longer would iiave taken a prom-
inent position in the church. His wife wa.s a
woman of great strength of character, and noble
qualities. Both of these persons have left an
abiding impression upon all who knew them.
Samuel Jennings Y7ilson, 1). D.
This biography of Dr. Wilson is iouuded upon
an extended memoir compiled by William H.
Jeffers, D. D. , an' eminent Presbyterian minister.
Samuel J. Wilson, D. D., son of Kenr\- and
Jane Dill Wilson, was born in Washington county,
Pennsylvania, July 19, 1828. His father emi-
grated from the colony of Scotch in Northern
Ireland and settled in Pennsylvania. lu religious
belief tfeury was a stanch Presbyterian. The
mother of Samuel, Jane Dill Wilson, was daughter
of Thomas Diii, v:i:ose ancestois weic i:''-'.iii-
guishcd for theii piety and self-sacrincing patriot-

SAlUrKL J. VILSOX, D. n
isui. Jaiie was a woman of imusnai faith and
piety. Tiie parents of rianiuel v,-cre faithrul iu
the religious inscruclion of tlieir children. 'Die
;.;o.u^/s instruccion and example determined in
no small degree the tenor of wSaniuel's subsequent
life, and he ofteu expressed his deep gratitude to
her.
He was uijjeteeu years of age when he entered
Washington college. Though reserved a)id unas-
suming in his manner, young Wilson was soon
recognized by his class-mates and throughout tlie
institution as a man of more than ordinary abilit}-.
He was systemaijc, painstaking and persistent. It
does not appear that during his entire college
course, a single failure was recorded against him
iu the class-rocHi.
Daring the second year of his college life the
Presbyterian church at Washington was blessed
with a revival of great power. Fift}-nine names
were recorded on die church roll a.? a result of that
revival : among these is the name of Samuel J.
Wilson. His spiritual nature was stirred to its
utmost depths, and the remc-nibrarice of those
revival scenes rcEiained fresh in his mind ever
afterward.
After his grr^duatiou in 1S52 lient once entered
the Theological Seminary at Alkgl'.any City, Pa.,
and completed his course there in 1S55. But his
connection with the S--:ninary v/as not to r, :-;;;i:: i.i.t
till his death. Pie '.v-?.h instruclf^;: of Eccicniaslical
History and Hebrew. After two years as instructor
he v,-as advanced to the full professoiship by elec-
tion ill the General Assembly of 1857. At tlie
death of Dr. Jacobus iu IS76 Dr. Wilson became
the senior professor and presiding officer of the
f'lCV'.lty. Thus he entered upon vv'hat proved to be
the great v>'ork of his life.
Pli.s tirst work in the pulpit after he was
licensed to preach was at Steubenville, O. , and
afterwards at Wheeling, and at Sharpsburg. He
consented to take these charges always with the
understanding that no services should be expected
of him which would interfere with his regular
work in the Seminary. In 1861 he was induced
to undertake the suppl}' of the Sixth Church of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This church had been
for some time vacant, had a membership of only
forty, and was burdened with debt. Through his
earnest labors and co-operation of the little flock,
the process of restoration began almost immediately
and twenty-two were added at the first communion.
Ten years later there v.-as a membership or four
hundred and sixty-six. He ministered to this
church for fifteen years as stated supply and regu-
lar pastor.
As a man and as a preacher, Dr. "Wilson was
thoroughly in earnest. There was that in his
manr.er which indicated th.at he v.'as conscious of
the divi:ie presence. lii.-j power in the pulpit v/as
widely ;ecogn:zed, and his services v"" in. yveji
demand iur .special occ'sioiis.

REV. MAURICR IDrERY WII.SON,
v,-as ofteu he.rrd in the pulpit aud on the platfoiiii
of city and countiy urging to loyally and self-sac-
rifice in support oi the North.-
In 1S74 he was called to preside as IModerator
over the General Assembly at St. Louis and there
received the appointment to the conference which
was held in London, England, in July, 1875, for
the purpose of maturing a plan for the confedera-
tion of the Presbyterian church throughout the
woild. This con'erejice resulted in the organiza-
tfon cf the Presbyterian Alliance, with its general
councils to be heid once in three years. He was
a member of the first of these councils, which met
in Edinburgh, Scotland, July 3, 1S77, ^°^ ^^ ^^^^
time of his deatJi he was under appointmerit as
delegate to the tlnrd general council held in Bel-
fast, Ireland.
During the 5ast years of Dr. Wilson's life his
health seemed fairly good ; but after the close of
his last year's nrcrk in the Seminary his health
became impaired. He preached with great earn-
estness on Sabbsth, July 15. 'I'he next day he
pronounced the benediction at the funeral services
of an acquainta;ice, which was the last time his
voice was heard in public. Three days later he
was unable to leave his room. The disease was
pronounced by his physician to be typhoid fever,
and before it had run its course his strength and
vitnlity •pere ex'iaiKte.l. Toward the last iu
answer to the Vj-"Af:r inquiry whether he vrauled

General Samuel Milroy.
General Samuel Milroy was born August 14,
1780, in Kishakoquilla Valley, in Mifflin County,
Pennsylvania. His grandfather, John Milroy, was
a native of Scotland, and was a lineal desceudant
of Rcbtit Erucc, the heroic king of Scotl.^.nd.
John Milroy married Maitha Bruce in 1746. She
was r.lso a desce!!dnr>t ^^f koh'^rt Rrnce and w-ts
probably a cousiu ol uci iiu.'iia.iC's. In the
attempted levolutiou in Scotlaud in 1744; in which
Ch-r^-rlc-.s Stuart, the la>t heir to the throu^.: of
Scotland, sought to regain the kingdom of his
ancestors from the English ; John }>Iiiroy eiigaged
heartily in the cause of Stuart, but after the
defeat of Stuart at the battle of Cullodcu, his
followers were proscribed and pursued without
mere}-. John >.'il:oy, witli his young v.'ife, escaped
to Ireland, atid soon emigrated to the American
colonies ; settled near Carlisle, Penn-sylvania, and
became ■;■. ■■.•ro-peroiis fnrmer. He bad a familv of
two boys and three giris, ^.nd Vyss ;-iier.vard.-s v.'ith

witli all its contends was biuneu during one of the
massacres at Car/:.;e. Among t'-e valuable licir-
looms burned were liis familv record and coat of
arms.
The only surviving- son, Henry, after arriviiM^
at maturity, mr.rried Agnes ^IcCorniack, and
settled in Mifflin County, Penn. Henry had a
family of four boys and two girls. Samuel, the
subject of this sktlch, was the third son, and when
eleven years of age, his father died. He was soon
afterward apprenliced to learn the trade of car-
penter and joiner. In 1S03 he married Frances
Alexander and settled in Center County, Pa., fol-
lowing his trade until 1806, in wliich ytai his
wife died, leaving two children, a daughter and a
son. Tlie daugnler was the first v.'ife of Jolin
Adams of Carroll County, Ind. The son Henry
Bruce Alilroy, who was the first sheriff of Carroll
Count}', Ind.
vSoon after the death of his wife, Samuel set
out with his elder brother, John, to try their for-
tunes in the Grer.l West. They came across the
Alleghany ^Mountains to Pittsburgh, Pa., and
descended the 0]i:o river on a !iat-boat to Cincin-
nati. They left Cincinnati with the intention of
going to St. Louis, but when opposite Bardstown,
Nelson County, Ky., in v,-hich county resided a
large number of their old neighbors, as well as
.some leialivcs, they concluded to turn .sct;ti: r.bor.t
twenty-iive miles and enjo)' iheinieb.'es for a l;me_
among old friends and relatives.
Aiter visiting their friends, where they were
waimiy welcomed, they both went to work, Sam-
uel at his trade, and John to surveying. In about
a year, John married Isabella Houston, by whom
he had ten children. The eldest was Dr. Henry
A. ililroy, of Delphi, Ind.
Samuel, after working at his trade for several
months, still had dreams of making a fortune in
St. Loiiis, and in the fall of 1S07, in company with
George Wilson, a relative, of the same trade ';<,'ith
himself, traveled on foot to St. Louis, where they
woiked at their trade very successfully for about
ten months, when both were takei? down with
bilious fever, from which tliey did not reco\er t<:<i:
six weeks. As soon as they were able to travel
they set oui en their recurn to Nelson Count\', Ky.
They struck the Ohio river at Evansville, and
v/ere offered v.'ages as hands on a keel-boat loaded
with goods for Louisville. They accepted the
ofler, and on the way up an incident occurred that
showed the sincerity of Wilson's friendship.
While passing a large drit't, Samuel sav.' a log
sticking out of the upper edge, and supposing it
was solid and stationary, placed the end of l:is
setting pole against it, then threw his weight upon
the pole, for the purpose of propelling the boat ;
but the log suddenly turned and he went into the
river h.cad foremost. Wilson rushed to the place
.viicre !ii< friei:d h."l gone down, and plun^rd 'u
after him witlioul a momeut's hesitation, kr.ov/ir.g
that he could not. swi'.n. Samuel kept his presence

of mind, and tliought it best to let himself go
dowu to the bottom, and then by a vigorous spring
send himself to the surfiice, but finding the water
very deep, after sinking fifteen or twenty feet, he
commenced to work for the surface. Upon resell-
ing the top, Wilson came to the rescue. He called
to the men on the boat to throw out a rope, whicii
was quickly done, they seized it when only a foot
from the drift, under which the water was
sweeping witii a strong current, and were drawn
on board just in lime to save their lives.
Upon arriving in Nelson county, Samuel
resumed his trade with his usual energy. In 1810
he married Martha Houston, a young sister of his
brother John's v;ife, by whom he had ten children,
seven sons and three daughters. Thres of the
boys died young. The eldest, Gen. Robert H.
Milroy, will be given special notice elsewhere.
In 1812 tlie Indians destroyed a settlement ;n
Scott County, Indiana Territory, killing three
men, five women and sixteen children. Samuel
Milroy raised a company in Kentucky and reached
the scene of the massacre in just four days after
its occurrence. Tliey found the ruins of the
houses still smoking, and the bloody, mangled
corpses of the victims scattered in ghastly array.
IMilroy with his vobmteers determined to follow
the Indians, and followed their trail for several
days, bvit - f;^" cf sno';^• covered the foot-prints
and they were compelled to give up the pur.suit.
During this scout he had a good opportunity
for observing the country and forn-.ed a fa\-oiable
opinion of a portion of Washington County, I;-,d.
Al'ter his return he became disgusted with, the
institution of slavery, and determined to emigrate
to Indiana Territory, from which slavery v-fas
excluded by the ordiuance of 1777. He sold his
property in Kentucky in 1814, and in company
with his brother James came to Washington
County, lud., and purchased one hundred and
sixty acres of land. Here he built a house and
moved his family to their new home.
In 1816 the congress of the United vStates
passed an act to enable the people of Indiana Ter-
ritory to form a constitution and state govevnruent.
This act required an election to be held in the
counties to choose delegates to a constitutional
convention. Samuel Milroy was elected one of
the delegates from Washington county, and was a
member of three of the most important commit-
tees of the convention.
In the following August he was elected one of
the representatives from Washington count}', and
v,'as re-elected a member of the legislature from
that county for nine years successively, and was
speaker of the house at Jhe session of 1821.
He was comraissiojied a major by Governor
.Posey in 1816, a colonel by Governor Jennings in
181 7, and a brigadier-general by the same t^over-
uor in 1.B19.
He sold his farm in Washington County in
1826, and in company with his son Henry iJruce

INIilroy, lie came out to ihe Wabash, and finaljy
located in Carroll County, Ind. Near the close of
the year 1827 he was appointed by John Ouincy
Adams to examine the land offices of Illinois. In
1822 he was elected to the legislature from the
district composed of the counties of Montgomery,
Fountain, Warren, Tippecanoe and Carroll, and
shortly after the election he unexpectedly received
the appointment to examine the land offices of
Illinois, from President Jackson Soon afterward
he received from the same president the appoint-
ment as Register of the Land Office at Crawfords-
ville, Ind., an ofBce then worth three thousand
dollars per annum. He thus held three offices at
one time and it was with him a matter of deep
solicitude v.-hich office should be retained and
which resigned. Finally by the urgent solicita-
tions of his friends, he concluded to accept the
registcrship, and resign the other tvro offices.
He was a delegate to the first Democratic
national convention ever held in the United States
which met in Baltimore in 1S22, and nominated
General Jackson for his second term. He was a
delegate and attended every succeeding Democratic
national convention from that time to 1843, when
Polk was nominated. This was the last conveu-
tio;i prior to his death.
In 1835 he was appointed by President Jack-
son one cf the Hoard of \'isitors 'o th^ Uiiiied
States Military Acrdet -.y at West Point, and. nobly
discharged that duty. In 1836 lie was elected
state senator from the counties of Carroll and
Clinton, Ind. lu 1839 he was appointed agent for
the !\Iiami and Pottawatomie Indians, and in 1840
succeeded in purchasing from the ^.liami tribe,
their great reservation, which the government had
for many j-ears, through different agents and special
commissioners, tried in vain to purchase. 'This
last office he held up to the time of liis death,
which occurred on the 26th of i\Iay, 1S45, at
Delphi, Indiana. His death was caused by erysip-
elas, of v.-l'.ich disease liis ton Bruce had died two
weeks before.
Gen. Samuel .Milroy's house v/as the home of

ready welcome.
Such is a brief outline of one who in his day
was the most piominent citizen of the state of
ludiana.
From "History of Carroll County, Indiana,"
by Dr. Stcv.-art.
Gen. Robert H. Milroy.
Robert Houston Alilroy was the eldest son of
Gen. Samuel Milroy by his second wife, Martha
Houston, aud was therefore of same'Bruce ancestry
and great grand-son of John Milroy from Scotland.
Robert was born in Washington County, Ind-
iana, Ju.ne I J, 1 816, and was graduated at Norwich
University, Vc, in 1843) taking degree.s, both in
the Cla.'zjical and Jvrilitr.ry DCj:.^rtii.-.tL!ts.
In llic svar with Mexico he served as cantMiu
in the ist Indiana "Volunteers. He studied law,

was admitted to the bar in 1849, and in 1S50 was
graduated from the law department of Indiana
University.
lie was a member of the constitutional con-
vention of Indiana in 1S49-50, and in 1851 v/as
appointed judge of eightli judicial circuit court of
Indiana.
At the opening of tlie Civil War he issued a
call for volunteer.s, and was made captain, becom-
ing colonel of the gtli Indiana Volunteers on the
26th of April, r86i. Served in West Virginia
under McClellan aad Rosecratis. Received a com-
niissiou as brigadier-general Feb. 6, 1862, and was
made major-general of volunteers in ilarch, 1863.
He had charge of the second division of the 8th
army corps, statioi;ed at Vi'inchester, \'a. In June,
1863, he was attacked by nearly all of Lee's army,
on its wa\' to Pennsylvania. Gen. Milroy resisted
this superior force for three days, ui.til his ammu-
nition and provisions were exhausted and then cut
his way out by night, losing a large portion of his
forces.
This retention of Lee's army at W^iuchester
enabled Gen. Meade to fight advantageously at
Gettysburg; v/hen otherwise the great battle would
have taken place farther north. In 1865 he
resigned from the army, became a tru3l.ee cf the
Wabash and Erie canal in 1868, which place he
held for some time.
He was appointed superiritenderi; cf Indian
affairs in Vi/asliington Territory, and continued in
the office until 1S74.
He w.is a])poi',:;ed Indian agent in 1S75 iincl
reappointed in 18S5.
During his law prfictice his uniform kinc"r.e.~s
and faithful attention to the interests of his clients
won the respect and esteem of his brelhreri at the
bar.
He was a ruling elder in the Presbjteriar.
church, and died at Olyinpia, Washinton, i\iarch
24, 1890, as he had lived a firm believer in the
Christian faith and of a sure hope of imtnortality.

From a Letter.
The following is from a letter to Val. A. Mil-
roy, Jan. 25, 189S.
"My parents, James Milroy and Vv'ife, emi-
grated from Kirkcondbright, Scotland, to western
New York in 181S. Three children, David, Jane
and James, were born in Scotl-ind. The ollrers,

lionie. Grandj-iother was lOO years old wbeii she
died ill 1835.
David came to Logan County, O. , and left
three sons, two of whom, 'William and Robert
Bruce Milroy, ?.re in San Francisco, Cal.
James lefi three sons, and three daughters.
The eldest. Dr. W. F. ]Milioy, is a physician in
Omaha, Neb, John is in Houston, Texas, George
is in N. Y.
William I\Ii!roy was a Covenanter minister in
Logan County, O. He left a family of eleven
children. His eldest son, William, is professor of
Latin in Get eva College, Beaver Falls, Pa. He
studied iu Yale and graduated in Hopkins Univer-
sity. One other son is a lawyer and one a physi-
cian. The _voi?uge?t is a student in Beaver Fails,
Pa. The naints of father's brothers are John,
William and Peter. I think we can trace our
auctstry back to Gilbert and William Milroy men-
tioned in ''Scots Worthies," who owing to perse-
cutions were arrested, their ears cut off, property
confiscated, and they banished to Jamaica, and
sold as slaves. In 1710, Gilbert, returning, v^rote
a history of their sufferings. Please note, giand-
mother, whom I so well knew, was born less than
thirty years after.
Dr. W. F. Milroy, of Omaha, Neb., has given
much research to this family record. Found
information in old libraries of New York and
Baltimore. Also Prof. W. Milroy aided him in
information gotten from Yale libraries. The
result of Dr. Jslilroy's labors is a famih' tree of
considerable information.
At a meeting of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church held iu Omaha some time
ago, your father. Gen. R. H. IMilroy, was a dele-
gate. Dr. ■\Iilroy sought hiu) out and had an
interview, the result of which was they concli^ded
ihey were distant relatives.
Very truly Yours,
Ebkxezkr I^.Iilroy,
Northwood, Logan County, Ohio.

was Surveyor-General for several \ears, and his
brother. Gen. Samuel Milroy, who married Martha,
was Receiver in Land Office and member of Con
grass from Indiana iu 1836.
William Houston, eldest sou of James and
James Elliot Houston, married Nancy McClarty,
who was of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and nine child-
ren were born to them.
John Houston, second son of James and Jane
Elliot Houston, was a member of the Legislature
from Nelson County, Ky. , for many years. His
children all scattered off to Indiana and Missouri.
James Houston, third sou of James and Jane
Elliot Houston, married and had two children:
John B. Houston, who was a lawyer and lived in
Lexington, Ky. He was also speaker of the
house of representatives in Kentucky. The daugh-

children of William and Nancy McClarty Houston
was a lawyer and a partner of the memorable Ben
Hardin of Kentucky for thirty years. Served his
country three years in the House of Representa-
tives and eight years in the Senate. He was a
delegate to the conventiou which framed the new
constitution of Kentucky, and was count}- attor-
ney for twenty years in Logan County, Kentucky.
Samuel Miligan Houston.
Samuel M. Houston, third son of Alexander
and Margaret Mitchell Ho'iston. was born in Nel-
son County, Kentucky, No\ . i-g^ uid was mar-
ried to Rebecca Wilson Dec. 29 1825 To them
were born six children, four sons and two daugh-
ters. Erasmus P., the eldest son, was county
clerk at Clay Center, Kansas, None of the child-
ren are now living except James Otis, who resides
at Geneva, Neb.
Samuel taught school when a young man and
was justice of the peace from 1S32 to 1836. Was
elected Commissioner in 1S44, and was superin-
tendent of the poor farm in Washington County,
Ind., for three years. He was a member of the
Legislature in 1837.
He died on his farm in Washington County,
in iS highly respected and admired by all who
had known him. Rebecca died a few years later at
the home of her son, Daniel Houston, near New
Philadelphia, Ind.
J. S. M. Houston.
The following special telegram to the IVoi'ld
describes the standing of J. S. M. Houston in the
State L^niversity of Missouri.
Special lo the iVorld:
"J. S. M. Houston of Raymore, Cass County,
Mo., is the valedictorian of the 189S law class of
the state university. Mr. Houston was born at
Clarksburg, Mouiteaux County, Mo., 1872. He
was raised on a farm, attending school four or five
months in the year. Later he attended the State
Normal and graduated with distinction in 1890.
After this he taught school. In 1S95 he married
Miss IMaggie Miller of Johnson County, Kansas,
and moved to Columbia to study law. In 1S96 he
won the "Zealer Scholarship" from Boone County
in a rigid competitive examination. In 1897 he
won the "Rollins Scholarship," $50 in cash for
standing at the head of the Junior Law Class
Last month INIr. Houston got second honors in the
senior law thesis contest. His thesis will be pub-
lished in a leading law journal and bound for
library use.
What proves ;\[r. Houston's ability more than
anything else is his winning the valedictory this
\ear, in a class composed of fifty-two members,
and Judge Martin pronounces it the best class ever
graduated from the law school. So to stand at its
head is an honor indeed."

From a Letter.
A few years ago Anna EllioU of Blooming-
ton, Illinois, made a genealogical tree of our
branch of the Houston family, beginning with
Christopher Houston, born in North Carolina in
1744, whose father, John Houston, came from
Scotland to Pennsylvania early in the eighteenth
century. The oldest Houston I know of in Mis-
souri is my grandfather, Christopher C. Houston,
born in North Carolina in 1S04, moved to Ken-
tucky and then to Mo. His address is now Grain
Valley, Jackson County, Mo. Gen. Samuel Hous-
ton of Texas and grandfather are cousins.
J. S M. Houston,
Ray more, Mo.
This John Houston mentioned above was
brother to James Houston from whom we start our
branch of the family. H. W. S.
James Houston, came from Wales to Scotland, then to America about 1730. Settled first in Dela-
ware, afterward in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, moving to Kentucky in 1793. Married first an English
woman by name of Jane Elliott, Second a native of Pennsylvania by name of Abigail Brown. Died in
Kentucky, Sept. S, 1S08.

LOWRV AND OCHELTREE.
Ann Lowry Wilson.
Ann Lowry Wilson, daughter of Joseph and
Nancy Och<ltree Lowry, was born in Bo:-tourt
County, Virginia. Her father was a native of
that state ; her mother was born in Arma^, Ire-
land, and came with her parents, Michael and
Mary OchfUree, to America in 1793. At that
time Nancy was eighteen years old. The captain
of the ship in which they came lost his bearings
at sea and sailed for several weeks far out of his
course. As there were several hundred emigrants
on board, provision became almost exhausted be-
fore their signal of distress was sighted by the
captain of another ship, who came to their relief,
set them on the right course, and enabled them to
laud safely in j^Jk/ ///<^i?(/3^'V
The second daughter, Mary Ochrlltree, mar-
ried a gentleniau by name of Clinton, to whom
she was engaged in Ireland. He was teaching
school in J^-^ ^7 »"/■< ' ^'^ time of their marriage,
which was soon after the Ochcltrees landed. The
Ochfltree family left Mary with her husband and
came to Augusta County, Virginia. No word
ever came to them from Mary and nothing is
known of her fate.
Rachel Ochiltree married William Young in
\'irginia. Nancy Ochiltree, the third daughter
and mother of Mrs. Wilson, had a family of seven
children when she and her husband, Joseph Lowry
removed from Virginia to Indiana in 181S. Ann
was but six \ears old when her parents came to Jef-
ferson county, Indiana. They afterward settled on a
farm near Lexington, Scott County, Indiana, where
Ann was married to Thomas Brown Wilson, Oct.
1S33. Before her marriage she had united with
the Methodist Church, but as hex husband was a
Presbyterian, she joined that denomination, which
was the faith of her parents. She has always gone
forward in discharge of duty, though called upon
to pass through many trials, and to bear the load

of mauy and exacting responsibilities. Her
Christian faith aiid fortiti;de uot only helps iior to
bear her own sorrows, but makes her a comforter
to otlieri. As a devoted Christian niotlier, and
sj'iL^pathetic frieiid, her life has been full of good
det 3s and kind acts. She is now in her eighty-
seventh }ear and realizes her luicertain hold on
life ; and conudtutly and calmly 5peak.> of her
departure. "Her children" can truly "rise up
and call her blessed."
"Blessed, though out of tribulation
Lifted to dwell in the Lord's bright smile
Happy to shcire in the great salvation,
Well mav -Slia tarry awhile."
John J. Dickson.
John J. Dickson,-, brother of William M.
Dickson, was born in Le.xingtou, vScott County,
Indiana, in iS^c. After ^>■or>.ing for several )-ear.s
at the tiade of cooper, John and his mother nioved
to Davis County, Iowa, where he was very suc-
cessful financially, and is a retired farmer and
highly respected citizen to-day. He married Mary
Eliza Paiker, sister of his brother's wife, in 1855.
To them were boxu ten children, eight of wiioui
are living. He served one year in ranks of Unioa
army in civil war.
He has been a contributor to the prcs.s for
ditctioufj m one book entitled, "A. ba^mer's
Thought.^ in Prose and Poetry." Ijis style i;s
excellent,— original and practical. The foliowiug
is one of his latest poems :
'I'HE UlCIO^r SOLBIEK,
The soldiers that met thee with chivalrous pride
Fell back in disorder, s\irrcunered or died.
The victories won broke the chain of the slave.
Arid law, peace and Union are over thy grave.
While Time's circling years to Eternity roil
The fame of thy deeds will ennoble the soul,
Aud fair one's with tokeus from woodland and
bowers.
Will corns to th,)' giave and drop ter<rs with tlic
flowers.
THE CONFEBEKATE SOL'OIER.
lu the faith of your fathers you thought you v/cre
righr.
Overpowered b) num.bersyou fell in the fight,
Oh! 'tis not for the North to e.xult in your fall.
For the cause of the war was the sin of u.s all.
But the day Las now come v.dien the blue and the
Shake hands in one garb \vhere they met in the
fray,
Fair forms from the North will come down to your
grave,
And drop tears with the liov.'eis on the turf ot the
brave.

LOWR^' AXD OCHLETIiKH
American niaiitood. Of Scotch- Irish Presbyter-
ian stock, his graud- father, Rev. J-scob Dickson,
presided over one parish iu Scotland for over 6fty
years. United ^u his mother's side witli the old-
est families of Virginia, the Campbells and tlie
Lowrys, he possessed iu the highest degree, that
honest, fearless :!etermination cf ciiaracter v.-li''cL
lias been the b!)ne and sinew of so many of our
great men. Tlie judge's father, Richard L.
Dickson, v,'as sent in an official capacity to th.e
English Colonies, came to America, met and
married Rachel Lowry in 1825, near Madison,
Indiana. Afterirards settled on a farm in Scott
County, Indiana. Two boys were the issue of
this m.arriage.
In 1835 the father died, leaving the widow
and two sons, John and William. The family
moved to Ranover, In.diana, where there w?s a
good scliool. John volunteered to learn the trade
of cooper, while William attended college, first at
Hanover, and afterwards at IVIiami University,
Oxford, Ohio. Here he swept out the recitation
rooms for liis tuition, and cooked h.is own scant}'
meals.
He was graduated from old Miami in 1S46.
Wliile teaching school in Ktiuucky he studied
law, was admitted to the practice at Lexington,
Kentucky, ivj 1840. and afterward attended Har-
vard Lkw bciiool. While lliere, Chief Justice
Psi.rker, his preceploj, picked him out as an unasu-
ally bright, honest y--j-.:nc,' man, and made him c;;e
of liis hoi'.seliold. He graduated at Harvard iu
1S50. Afterward, without moi:e\', v.'ithov.t a
friend in the city, alone, with only a letter ot in-
troduction from Justice Parker to Judge Wright,
v,-e find young Dickson iu Cincinnati, 0. I)y
tutoring in Judge Wright's family, teaching else-
wliere, and by reporting as a space reporter on the
old Cincinnati Times, he managed to make a
living. In 1852 he married Annie Parker,
daughter of Dr.- John Parker of Lexington, Ken-
tuckv, and came again to Cincinnati. Although
almost an entire stranger he ran on the independ-
ent ticket for prosecuting attorney of the Police
Court. To the surprise of everyone, and most ct
all to himself, he was elected.
\Ve iind him afterward rapidly r'si-g to th?:
front rank in his profession. His arguments under
the Fugitive Slave Law, and in the celebrated
Blind Tom case, are well remembered. At the
age of thirty-one he v.-as appointed, by Goverr.or
Chase, Judge of the Common Pleas Court. On
account of extreme youth, and younger looks, he
v.-as bitterly opposed by some of the older micmbers
of the bar, but by hard work, uniform courtesy to
all, and just decisions, he left the bench foi the
practice of law, loved and respected by all.
He was a presidential elector for Lincoln
vvhe-i he v,'as fir*;* elected. During the war he
was tiie Cui^'ideutial fntud of J,i::' (-in, Siaiilvi.')
aiid Chase. He spent )nuch of his iv.v.-z at Wash-
ins-ton. D. C. and had much to do wiih fr-^minj:;
1.0VRY AND OCHI.KTREK.
99
the Kniancipatioi! Proclamation. Whiie at V/ash-
ingtoii he was teiidered by Genera! McCleilan the
position of Assistant Judge Advocate General,
with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He spent
some \veeks at the front, but a certain distrust of
the methods and men employed compelled him, to
decline.
The war over, he took a leading and active
part in reconstruction. His ready pen and active
brain wete employed in the interest of his party
and his countr\'.
In 1866, in the prime of his manhood, at the
age of thirty-uirit, he w.qs stricken down by sick-
ness, followed hy extreme nervous prostration,
from which he ntver recovered. Foreign travel
and the best medical advice of this country and
Europe were trie<i in vain. Notwithstanding his
terrible physical suffering, the last twenty five
years of his life ".vcre spent iu writing and devotion
to his family. He was always a hard student and
was translating Thier's History from the French
at the time ol his death.
He constantly wrote for the magazines of the
country and the daily press, always on politics and
sociology. His well known initials, "W. M. D,"
will long be reniembered and their absence
regretted. His style was peculiarly concise, terse,
perspicuous. His stirring sentneces were such
7f:?is/ be understood. . . .
Public and private dishonesty he could not
brook, but for the unfortunate or wronged his
kindly heart prompted him to a generous sympa-
thy. l''or some years before his death he was
president of the Trustees of the Ohio Medical
College.
Before Judge Dickson retired from the practice
of law his income was unusually large, consider-
ing the few years of his professional career a;:d
the best care - was taken of it. His wealth and
noble virtues obtained a high social position that
v.-as enough for hi:n. He should be held up as a
noble example of the eminence obtainable by
energy and assiduity, iu our fortunate country.
In religion Judge Dickson had accepted tiie
views of his brotlier, who had decided to study for
himself the words of the blesicd Lcid as fou:.d iu
the Gospels. The substance of these he found
in two great commandments, "Thou shalt !o\-e the
Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and
mind," and the second which is like unto it,
"Thou sbalt love thy neighbor as thyself. " He
devoted the superior mind which God had given
him to practical thinking. The moral aspect of a
transaction h.e set apart to be considered b) itself.
His character as a public man, a private citi-
zen, and a loving father, stands as a shining light.
Take him all in all, his place will be h'lrd to iill.
I'he public needs a censor. None ccu;a !,"-- foa!!'.!
more uoble and honest thun he.

The preparaiion of this volume has presented many perplexities, involving as it did, reiereiice to
varied and frequently conflicting autliori ies.
It has been a work of no inconsiderable toil to classify and harmonize all the information furnished
for publication. ■-•■;/.'.;■": i ■...;" ^ ;v/. :! ; •:- '.'■:■ .....■■■.■. ^. .'..'■■..■ .
Ti:e book is now dismissed from t!;e compiler's hands %\-ilh the hope that it ma\ prove as agreeable
to the reader as it lias been to her in the process of ccdlection.
i he mechanical execution has been attended with a greater outlay tharr was anticipated, but should
she meet wiih the same generour^ favor accorded to her in the- preparat'on it will be ample recompense.
