Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me?

Albany was divided into three counties on March 12, 1772: Albany, Tryon (now Montgomery), and '''Charlotte'''. Following the formation of the State Government of Vermont, Charlotte was overthrown in March 1778. At this time, Vermont was divided into two counties on either side of the Green Mountains: Unity to the east, and Bennington on the west. On February 13, 1781, '''Rutland County''' was incorporated in the territory north of present-day Bennington. After the limitation of Rutland's northern boundaries on October 18, 1785, a new county was formed and named for English author [[Addison-330|Joseph Addison]]—here exists the formal creation of what is now known as '''Addison County'''.Smith, H.

New York : D. Mason & Co. Publishers, 1886. pp 13–15, At the time of the foundation of Addison, the county's boundaries included all of the territories presently belonging to the counties of Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle & Lamoille, as well as nine Orleans and eight Washington county towns. On October 19, 1787 the town of Kingston (now Granville) was set off from Orange county and incorporated into Addison, and not three days later the county of Chittenden was formed. Following changes including the annexation of Starksboro to Addison in 1797, Washington's incorporation of Warren in 1829, and Addison's inheritance of Rutland's town of Orwell on November 13, 1847. === Historical Landmarks === * Emma Willard House * Mount Independence * Robert Frost Farm * Rokeby == Geography == In ''The County Church in Colonial Counties'' by Marjorie Patten, Addison County is described as "a general farming region in the fertile valley of Lake Champlain."Patten, Marjorie.

Bordering the state to the east are the Canadian territory of Yukon and the Canadian province of British Columbia; to the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. To the west and south is the Pacific Ocean; its most extreme western part is Attu Island, and it has a maritime border with Russia (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) to the west across the Bering Strait. Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, the 4th least populous and the least densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately half of Alaska's residents (estimated at 736,732 by the Census Bureau in 2014) live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska's economy is dominated by the oil, natural gas, and fishing industries, resources which it has in abundance. Tourism and military bases are also a significant part of the economy.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska Wikipedia] ''Alaska'' {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-13.png |align=c |size=l}} === Alaska Neighbors === {{Geographic Location |Reference Location= [[Image:US_State_Flag_Images-1.png|50px|Alaska]]

The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_America Wikipedia] ''Russian America'' {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-13.png |align=c |size=l}} {{Image|file=Alaska-9.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=Klondike Gold Rush }} Alaska was initially a US Territory. Starting in the 1890s and stretching in some places to the early 1910s, gold rushes in Alaska and the nearby Yukon Territory brought thousands of miners and settlers to Alaska.

[[Category:United States Images]] [[Category:Flags]] [[Category: United States of America]] The flag of the United States of America, often referred to as the Stars and Stripes or Old Glory, consists of (according to Wikipedia) "13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars." When the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, the United States had no official national flag. It wasn't until June 14, 1777, that the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution which stated: "Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." The American Flag is customarily flown year-round at all public buildings such as libraries, state houses, post offices, etc. During times of remembrance (i.e. Memorial Day) or loss, the flag is flown at half staff out of respect for those affected or as a symbolic gesture. The United States has a detailed Flag Code under U.S. Federal Law which outlines guidelines for proper use and display. For example it states that the flag should never be allowed to touch the ground and, if flown at night, must be illuminated. Surprisingly, there are no penalties for failing to comply with the Flag Code, nor is the code widely enforced because such enforcement would interfere with a person's right to free speech under the First Amendment.

[[Category: Cabinet of the United States]] For the profiles of the cabinet members, see [[:Category: Cabinet of the United States|the category for the Cabinet of the United States]] The Cabinet of the United States is composed of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States, who are generally the heads of the federal executive departments. The existence of the Cabinet dates back to the first President of the United States, George Washington, who appointed a Cabinet of four men: Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton; Secretary of War Henry Knox; and Attorney General Edmund Randolph to advise him and to assist him in carrying out his duties. All Cabinet members are nominated by the President and then presented to the Senate for confirmation or rejection by a simple majority. :[[Image:US_Images-5.png|100px]]

[[Category: Idaho Projects]] The goal of this project is to ... this is part of the Idaho Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Idaho]], which is part of the United States Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:United_States]] Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Downs-977|Debra Allison]]. Though born in Lewiston, Idaho (the same hospital as my father), I spent most of my school years in Nampa, which is not the County seat of Canyon County, but was an idealist place to grow up. When I got into Boise State (College at the time), I moved to Boise, where I raised my children. Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=8906967 send me a private message].

Email from Jackson Day, Montgomery County List, "Cowpasture, Thomas Mills, Charles Miles". http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MDMONTGO/2007-07/1184333992. Accessed June 6, 2016 ===1818 Cowpasture=== In a deed recorded July 17, 1818 deed, [[Day-3939|James Day]] appears to be executor of Josias Harrison. This deed appears to transfer the Cowpasture property out of the hands of Josias' estate, and out of the hands of the four granddaughters listed above. By this time, "Liney" is now Verlinda, and she is married to Mills, believed to be Thomas Mills. ===1795 Cowpasture=== The 1795 Tax Assessment showed that Charles Miles owned part of Cowpasture, the land tract that his father-in-law Basil Poole had owned. Charles Miles' will, however, states that it was from Henry Griffith that he had purchased the 160 a. willed to son Samuel's descendants, and from Arnola T. Windsor that he had obtained the 90 a. willed to son Allen. Email from Jackson Day, Montgomery County List, "Cowpasture, Thomas Mills, Charles Miles". http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MDMONTGO/2007-07/1184333992. Accessed June 6, 2016 WILL. Charles Miles' Will 25 Jan 1842 - 5 Apr 1842 (MC Wills X:426; Heterick III:8) Witnesses John R. Layton, James H. Miles. "To my three sons Uriah, Freeborn Garrison and James Hanson Miles, Mountain Farm, 30 acres where I now live, should either die, the others to receive. To grandchildren, son of Samuel, 160 acres of "Cowpasture," equally divided. To son Allen, 90 acres of "Cow Pasture." To Rebecca Day, Delilah King, Anna Nelson, Eliza Burdette, Sarah Swansby, Cassandra Trail, Elizabeth Ann Layton. My son Uriah to care for the estate of Cassandra Trail, her husband to have no authority, after the death of Cassandra to her son Charles Nathan. To my grandson Charles, son of my son Charles, deceased my silver watch. Son Uriah Miles of Baltimore City, executor." Signed by mark. Witnesses William William of John, Caleb Lewis, John W. Shaw. >From these data I infer that even if they never owned the same portions of the tract (near Clarksburg) called Cowpasture, Charles Miles' family were neighbors of Josias Harrison's family. Rebecca Miles, shown above as Rebecca Day, was Charles' daughter by his third wife Mary "Polly" Layton. Rebecca married Urban Day, son of James Day. This would give James Day a reason to visit the people living on Cowpasture, since James spent his life a bit farther north in Browningsville. That would partially explain how James Day came to be the executor of Charles Miles' neighbor Josias Harrison. ===Alphabetical Directory of Persons who have owned a portion of Cowpasture=== *John Barber *Samuel Barber *Benjamin Burdette Jr *Benjamin Burdette Sr *Nathan Burdette *James Day *John Farmer *Caleb Griffith *Greenbury Griffith *Henry Griffith *Josiah Harrison *Joel Holland *Nehemiah Holland *Charles Miles *Laurence O'Neil *[[Poole-1611|Basil Poole]] (Poole-1611) (1726-1802) *Francis Redman *Amon Riggs *John Risdon *Nicholas Warfield '*Benjamin Warfield *Stephen West *Thomas Windsor *Charles Worthington ==Question== In this case we have a Charles Miles living on Cowpasture next to Josias Harrison, whose granddaughter Verlinda marries a Thomas Mills. Is that a pure coincidence, or is there some family connection between Thomas Mills and Charles Miles? ==Cowpasture Now a Montgomery County Park== http://www.montgomeryparks.org/PPSD/ParkPlanning/Projects/ovid.hazen.wells/documents/ovid.hazen.wells.orig.deed-web.pdf ==Sources==

[[Category: Idaho Projects]] The goal of this project is to ... this is part of the Idaho Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Idaho]], which is part of the United States Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:United_States]] Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Downs-977|Debra Allison]]. Though born in Lewiston, Idaho (the same hospital as my father), I spent most of my school years in Nampa, which is not the County seat of Canyon County, but was an idealist place to grow up. When I got into Boise State (College at the time), I moved to Boise, where I raised my children. Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=8906967 send me a private message].

Return to the [[Project:Delaware|Delaware Project]]. For profiles with significant historic relevance to Delaware, the Delaware Project template should be added and the project made a profile manager: {{US History|sub-project=Delaware }} For other profiles that are part of Delaware history but don't quite rate project management, we can use a sticker template to notate a Delaware connection. Below are some examples that you can use for your Delaware profiles: '''Delaware Project Sticker''' {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png |tooltip = Flag of Delaware |addinfo = John McKinly is a part of [[Project:Delaware|Delaware History]]}} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor
|flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png
|tooltip = Flag of Delaware
|addinfo = John McKinly is a part of [[Project:Delaware|Delaware History]]}} '''18th century Delaware Settler''' {{Nonmigrating Ancestor
|flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png
|tooltip = Flag of Delaware
|addinfo = Joe Schmoe settled in Delaware in the 18th century }} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png |tooltip = Flag of Delaware |addinfo = Joe Schmoe settled in Delaware in the 18th century }} will give you this: {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png |tooltip = Flag of Delaware |addinfo = Joe Schmoe settled in Delaware in 1721 }} Or, if you know the exact year that they settled, you might put in the year: ''' ''Note: In its early history, Delaware was part of Pennsylvania. Settlers who migrated to Delaware prior to October 1701 should be included in the [[Project:William_Penn_and_Early_Pennsylvania_SettlersEarly|William Penn Early Pennsylvania Settlers Project]].'' ''' '''Native of Delaware''' {{Nonmigrating Ancestor
|flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png
|tooltip = Flag of Delaware
|addinfo = Native Delawarean
}} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png |tooltip = Flag of Delaware |addinfo = Native Delawarean }} will give you this: '''Delaware Roots''' To show that Delaware was an influence in the life of a particular profile - perhaps they were born in Delaware or lived there. {{Nonmigrating Ancestor
|flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png
|tooltip = Flag of Delaware
|addinfo = Joe Schmoe has Delaware Roots
}} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |flag = US_State_Flag_Images-7.png |tooltip = Flag of Delaware |addinfo = Joe Schmoe has Delaware Roots }} will give you this: There really is no limit to the combinations that can be used to show a Delaware influence for your profile; by varying the "addinfo= " input, you can create any number of Delaware stickers. Some other ideas: * "Was born in Delaware" * "Died in Delaware" * "Was stationed in Delaware during WWII" * "Was married in Delaware" Don't be shy to share your Delaware pride and history on your Delaware profiles!

[[Category:Doolittle, Missouri]] Doolittle is a small town of 500 people located half way between St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri on Interstate 44. The town was named for the famous [[Doolittle-1|Lt. General Jimmy Doolittle]] of World War II. Originally it was named Centertown, because it was half way between Rolla and Newburg. With Ft. Leonard Wood built in 1941 nearby, the population decided to have the town name changed to honor the Lt. General Doolittle and even invited him to the town. It would be in 1946, when Lt. General Jimmy Doolittle spoke at the dedication ceremonies in which the town was formally christened in his honor. He flew his own B-25 into nearby Vichy Airport, fulfilling a promise he made more than two years before, to be present at the dedication of the town of Doolittle, Missouri.

[[Category: Idaho Projects]] The goal of this project is to ... this is part of the Idaho Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Idaho]], which is part of the United States Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:United_States]] Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Downs-977|Debra Allison]]. Though born in Lewiston, Idaho (the same hospital as my father), I spent most of my school years in Nampa, which is not the County seat of Canyon County, but was an idealist place to grow up. When I got into Boise State (College at the time), I moved to Boise, where I raised my children. Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=8906967 send me a private message].

[[Category:United States Railroads]] [[Category:Illinois Railroads]] == Illinois Central Railroad == The Illinois Central Railroad (reporting mark IC), sometimes called the Main Line of Mid-America, was a Class I railroad that operated in the central United States from the 1850s until 1998, when it was acquired by the Canadian National Railroad. Its primary routes connected [[:Category:Chicago, Illinois|Chicago, Illinois]] with [[:Category:New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans, Louisiana]] and [[:Category:Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham, Alabama]]. The Illinois Central Railroad was incorporated by the Illinois state legislature in 1836. That same year, a bill was introduced in the U.S. Congress to authorize a federal land grant to connect a railroad from the southern tip of Illinois at the mouth of the Ohio River to Chicago and [[:Category:Galena, Illinois|Galena]]. The land grant was not approved until 1850, when the Illinois Central became the first land grant railroad in the United States. Construction of the line from [[:Category:Cairo, Illinois|Cairo, Illinois]], to Chicago and Galena was completed in 1856, and a branch line was built from Chicago to [[:Category:Centralia, Illinois|Centralia, Illinois]]. The Illinois Central extended its track into Iowa in 1867, and it expanded into the southern United States during the 1870s and 1880s through the acquisition and construction of additional lines. Illinois Central passenger trains were one means of transportation for African Americans migrating from southern to northern states during the 1920s. ===Illinois Central Railroad Employees=== * [[Grant-13|Willie Grant]] (1908-2003) == Sources == * [[Wikipedia:Illinois Central Railroad]] Also see [[:Category:Railroad_Workers]]

I am [[Downs-977|Debra Allison]].

Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me?

The donation claim of [[Courtney-1128|John R. Courtney]], being left vacant, was taken over by [[Finley-2095|Richard Chism Finley]], who saw on Courtney's donation land claim a suitable site for the grist mill he wanted to build. When Courtney returned, he found Finley felling a tree across the river and threatened him. With the support of James Blakeley and Finley's father-in-law, [[Kirk-3917|Alexander Kirk]], Courtney was encouraged to give up his claim and settle elsewhere. Finley's first mill, set where McKercher Park is now, washed out in the great flood of 1861-62, but he built another one which he later sold to the McKerchers. Finley and [[Crawford-10282|Philemon Vawter Crawford]] promoted the building of a new mill in the 1850s on the Calapooia a mile or so east of Shedd, a mill they called the "Boston Mill."WPA Interview with James Vawter Crawford,http://www.lgsoregon.org/lgstng/showmedia.php?mediaID=22398 Crawford and Alec Brandon were bought out in 1866 by William Simmons and the Simmons family and Finley were operators for the next 25 years.http://www.historicalgazette.net/hgv4n8.htm The grist mill was the reason for the historical town of Boston. The first railroad, now the Oregon and California part of the Southern Pacific, was open to traffic soon after 1870. Previously all supplies were hauled by wagon from Portland and Oregon City. In 1871 the Oregon and California railroad bypassed Boston 1 1/2 miles to the west and a new town called Shedd's Station sprang up beside the rail line. The town of Boston died overnight, but the mill flourished and operated continuously for over 140 years, eventually becoming Thompson's Flouring Mills.https://bostonmillsociety.org/ The Eagle Woolen Mill began in Brownsville in the 1860s. It burned in 1955. Logging was a major industry. The Calapooia was a feeder stream for log drives down to the Willamette. Sawmills proliferated, moving upstream as areas were logged off. https://www.sweethomenews.com/story/2020/09/30/news/calapooia-river-has-wound-its-way-through-lot-of-local-history/23477.html The settlers from the east plowed under the camas fields to grow wheat. In the fall, the fields were cleared and the stubble burnt off. Smoke from burning stubble was even until the late 20th century a feature of the valley in late summer and fall. Another major crop in the 19th and early 20th centuries was hops. Hop picking was a seasonal activity drawing people of all ages. The hopyards furnished work in September for Indians who came from the Siletz reservation on the coast. Today, Linn County is the largest producer of pedigreed grass seed in the world. ==== Timeline ==== The original inhabitants of Linn County were ancient mound builders and later the tribe known as Kalapuya. The ease of finding food in the valley made the Kalapuya vulnerable to intruders, including other tribes. At the time of Lewis and Clark, about 2000 Kalapuya were distributed among forty villages. Flooding during the rainy season drove the natives from the valley up the buttes to the east. It also drove small animals to higher ground, which were eaten. When floods receded, fields of camas yielded the bulb of the camas lily which for them was a cash crop. Fields of camas were cleared and then burned in the fall. Members of the first wagon train around Barlow Pass (south side of Mount Hood) arrived 1846-1847 on the banks of the Calapooia River. Among them were Hugh Leeper Brown, his nephew James Blakeley, Jonathan Keeney, and Richard Chism Finley.http://linncountyroots.com/ Alexander Kirk and his son Riley Kirk arrived in the spring of 1847. Alexander Kirk established a ferry across the river in 1847. It consisted of a stout rope. It was operated by his wife, Sarah (Sweeten) Kirk, on the frequent occasions that Alexander Kirk had to be away. 1847: Jeremiah Ralston halted his team of three wagons in the autumn of 1847 at what is now the town of Lebanon.https://www.ci.lebanon.or.us/community/page/history-lebanon-oregon#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20story%20of,what%20is%20now%20Lebanon%2C%20Oregon. Linn County was founded December 28, 1847 when it was created by the Oregon Territorial Legislature from the southern portion of Champoeg (later Marion) County. The county was named for Jacksonian Democrat Senator Lewis Fields Linn, of Missouri (1796-1843), who during his Senate career was chairman of the Committee on Private Land Claims.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._LinnLinn advocated tirelessly for passage of the Donation Land Claim Act and was a proponent of United States occupation of Oregon Territory as a counterclaim to the British. 1849: the town of Albany was first settled. Brothers Thomas and Walter Monteith built the town's first frame home. It was one of the first houses in Oregon built from sawed lumber.https://www.monteithhouse.org/ 1849: Linn County's first organizational meeting was held in Rev. Henry Harmon Spalding's schoolhouse. 1850: Rev. Henry Harmon Spalding was appointed first postmaster. The name of the town today known as Brownsville was changed from Kirk's Ferry to Calapooia in 1850. 1851: parts of Linn County were taken to form parts of Lane and Wasco Counties. In that year the legislature designated the county seat as Albany. 1852: Rev. Wilson Blain, working to heal the rift between Presbyterians and Associate Reformed Presbyterians, established the first United Presbyterian Church at a meeting at Union Point in October 1852. http://www.bentoncountymuseum.org/index.php/research/sites-of-interest/horner-museum-tour-guide-series/pioneering-from-the-santiam-to-the-calapooia/Blain founded the Union Point Academy, which later became Albany College, and still later Lewis and Clark College. 1856: a special election reaffirmed Albany as the county seat. 1870: the town of Crawfordsville was founded east of Brownsville on the land of Philemon Vawter Crawford by Crawford and Robert Glass.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawfordsville,_Oregon#:~:text=Crawfordsville%20was%20founded%20on%20the,the%20Oregon%20Trail%20in%201851. 1872: A U.

[[Category: Portal World-The Netherlands]] [[Category:New Netherland]][[Category:Low Dutch Settlements in Kentucky]] [[Category: Kentucky]] [[Category:Kentucky Projects]] {{US History | sub-project = Kentucky | flag= US_State_Flag_Images-20.png}} ==Terminology== {{Portal World-The Netherlands}} "Low Dutch" was a term used by descendants of the Dutch settlers of New Netherlands to designate their origin in the low countries of Europe, Holland and Belgium in order to emphasize their difference from immigrants of Germany and Switzerland who were referred to as "High Dutch" or sometimes "Pennsylvania Dutch". NOTE: The "German" migration of communities of artisans and builders from Pennsylvania to Kentucky has been referred to as the "Great German Diaspora of 1787". Their skills influenced the development of the Federalist style seen in central Kentucky homes. see: Pennington, Estill Curtis. ''With Joy and Wonder: Ante-bellum Taste in the Bluegrass'', University of Kentucky Art Museum, 1992.Using the term "Low Dutch" enabled them to hold on to their culture, maintaining a strong sense of their Dutch origins, religion and language. [[Space:Portal_World-The_Netherlands-USA]] "Station" was a term used principally on the Kentucky frontier to describe a fortified structure used by the pioneers as a gathering place whose purpose was for defense against their enemies. (At that time the British and Indians) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_(frontier_defensive_structure)][https://www.webcitation.org/5kmsoYG2F] ==Early Low Dutch Explorers of Kentucky== Almost twenty years before Kentucky became a state, while the area was part of the western frontier of the colony of Virginia, persons of Dutch ancestry were involved with exploration of the region. Many of them shared common ancestors who settled New Netherland in the 1600s. Surnames of the first Dutch who came into the region between 1773 to 1780 included: Hite, Eltinge, Hoagland, Kuykendal, Swearingen, Van Cleave, Van Cleave Errett and James William Van Cleave. 1947.

Van Cleave. and Van Meter. The Dutch who had settled in Virginia and Pennsylvania liked to keep to themselves in an effort to maintain their culture, language and religion so they organized into groups known as "Companies" to explore the Kentucky region and seek sites to build homes for their families. In order to accomplish their goal the Low Dutch Company sent scouting parties to Kentucky led in March 1779 by [[Durie-16|Samuel Duree]] from Shepherdstown, Berkeley County, Virginia. Members of the Duree scouting party included: [[Morgan-4494|William Morgan]], [[Morgan-4495|Ralph Morgan]], [[Swearingen-146|Thomas Swearingen]], [[Swearingen-154|Benoni Swearingen]], John Taylor, [[Strode-498|John Strode, Jr]], [[Bedinger-11|George M. Bedinger]], and [[Constant-2|John Constant]]. As a result of their explorations [[Durie-16|Samuel Duree]] announced plans to claim land on Muddy Creek for the Low Dutch Company. One to be used for a mill seat and another site further up the creek on a stream he named DeBan's Run for his son-in-laws [[DeBaun-65|Joseph DeBaun]] and [[DeBaun-86|Abraham DeBaun]]. Despite problems with the Indians the group spent the spring and summer raising a corn crop. {{Image|file=Low_Dutch_Settlements_in_Kentucky-4.jpg |caption=Cumberland Gap }} In the spring [[Durie-16|Samuel Duree]] (about 56 years old at the time) led about 30 persons from Berkeley County, Virginia over the Wilderness Road - Cumberland Gap route and arrived at White Oak Springs Station in Kentucky in March 1780. [[Durie-16|Samuel Duree]]'s wife was [[Banta-312|Weintje Banta]], the sister of [[Banta-29|Hendrick "Father Henry" Banta]].

To the Honorable Continental Congress: The Petition of a number of the true and loyal subjects of the United States of America at large, most humbly Sheweth That your Petitioners having heretofore been Inhabiters of the different States of America since the commencement of the contest with Great Britain for the common cause of Liberty; have ventured their lives in a wild uncultivated part of the Continent on the Western Waters of Ohio called by general name of Kentuckey, where they have made improvements on what they allowed was King's unappropriated Lands, before the commencement of the said contest and that in the face of a savage enemy with the utmost hardships and in daily jeopardy of being inhumanly murdered — Your Petitioners further allowed that the Honorable Congress would allow them a Reasonable Retaliation in Lands for the services your Petitioners did in defending and settling, on their own expense, the Country aforesaid to the weakening of the enemy and the strengthening the United States, whenever the common contest with Britain should be decided in favour of America, — In the full assurance of which your Petitioners sold all their livings in the settled parts of the Cbntinent and have removed with their wives and families and all their effects to the Country aforesaid in order to take possession of their improvements aforesaid. — But when they came found almost all their Improvements granted away by a set of men which acted or pretended to act under the late Act of Virginia, which act also allowed large grants without any reserve of settling and improving the same. — By which means almost the whole of the lands in the Country aforesaid are engrossed into the hands of a few Interested men, the greater part of which live at ease in the internal parts of Virginia, while your Petitioners are here with their wives and children daily exposed to the murders of the Savages to whom sundry of their Acquaintances has fell a sacrifice since their arrival though as yet but a short time. Again the late Acts of Virginia require your Petitioners to take a new oath of allegiance to that State, renouncing all their Kings, Princes and States, and be true to the State of Virginia only, and the prospect of Military Government taking place shortly in this place give your Petitioners the greatest apprehension of the most severe usage unless they comply with their mandates. — Your Petitioners considering all those grievances would gladly return into the settled parts of the Continent again, but having come seven hundred miles down the River Ohio with the expence of the greater part of their fortunes find it impracticable to return back against the stream with their wives and children were they to suffer the most cruel death. Your Petitioners being drove to the extremity aforesaid have but three things to choose. One is to tarry in this place, take the Oath of Allegiance to Virginia, and be true to that State only, and also become Slaves to those Engrossers of Lands, and to the court of Virginia. The other is to Remove down the River Ohio, and land on some part of Mexico and become subjects to the King of Spain. And the third to Remove themselves over the River Ohio, with their wives, children and their small effects remaining, which is now in possession of the Savage Enemy, to whom they are daily exposed to murders. The two former appearing to your Petitioners to have a Tendency to weaken the United States and as it were Banish the Common Cause of Liberty. Humbly pray the Honorable Continental Congress to grant them liberty of taking the latter choice and removing with their wives, families and effects to the Indian side of the Ohio and take possession of the same in the name of the United States of America at Large, where your Petitioners propose to support themselves in an Enemy's Country on their own risque and expence, which they humbly conceive will have a tendency to weaken the power of the Enemy, strengthen the United States at large, and advance the Common Cause of Liberty. Your Petitioners further pray the Honorable Congress to allow them Liberty of making such Regulations amongst themselves as they shall find necessary to govern themselves by, being subject to the United States at large and no other States or power whatsoever — Your Petitioners humbly pray the Honorable Continental Congress to consider their case and grievances in their true light and grant them such Relief as they in their great wisdom shall see meet, and as your Petitioners in duty bound shall ever pray.

Humbly Sheweth That in the Spring of the year 1780 they moved to Kentuckey with their families and effects, with a view and expectation to procure a tract of land to enable them to settle togeather in a body for the conviency of civil society and propogating the Gospel in their known language; when they arrived there to their sorrow and disappointment they were, thro' the dangerousness of the times by a cruel savage enemy oblidged to settle in Stations or Forts in such places where there was the most appearance of safety, notwithstanding all their caution numbers of them suffered greatly in their property, several killed and others captivated by the enemy, living in such distressed confined way always in danger, frequently on Military duty, it was impossible for them to do more than barely support their families with the necessaries of life. by which means they are much reduced, and what adds more to their disappointment and affliction is that, contrary to their expectations before their arrival and since, the most or all the Tillable Land has been Located and monopolized by persons that had the advantage of your Memorialists by being acquainted with the country, and your Memorialists being strangers and confined as aforesaid, and being so reduced are rendered unable to purchase Land at the advanced price, and especially in a body conveniently together agreeable to their wishes. Whereas, Providence has been pleased to prosper and support the virtuous resistance of the United States in the glorious cause of Liberty, which has enabled them to obtain an Honorable Peace whereby they have obtained a large extent of unappropriated Territory. And whereas, it is currently and repeatedly reported amongst its that Congress has broke or made void Virginia's right or claim to Land in Kentuckey Settlement. Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray (in behalf of themselves and other intended settlers of that persuasion) the Honourable Congress would indulge them with a grant of a Tract or Territory of Land in Kentuckey Settlemt. : if the Virginia Claim thereto should be made void, or otherwise in the late ceeded land on the North west side of the Ohio river ; whereto there is not any prior legal claim to enable them to settle in a body together, on such reasonable terms as Congress in their wisdom and prudence shall see just and reasonable, they complying with and performing all reasonable conditions required, to enable them to put their intended plan in purpose and execution, they having principally in view the ''Glory of God," the promotion of Civil and religious society, educating and instructing their rising generation in the principals of religion and morality; hoping the Honorable Congress will give all due encouragement to such a laudable undertaking.

No order of survey under this act shall exceed the quantity of four hundred acres for each family, and the surveyor shall lay out the same in one tract, the greatest length of which shall not exceed the breadth by more than one third. All persons claiming under this act, besides the usual office fees, shall pay into the public treasury after the rate of twenty shillings in specie, or the value thereof in paper money, for every hundred acres, within two years and an half from the date of the survey, as the state price, and in default of making such payment, all right and interest to such surveys shall be forfeited to the Commonwealth, and the lands subject to the claim of any person who shall pay the said state price for the same, and prosecute by the way of caveat in the manner prescribed by law. All orders of survey and proceedings contrary to the true intent and meaning of this act shall be void and of no effect or avail to the persons claiming under them.

Genealogical Publishing Com, 1988. p19-21. ==Founding of a Low Dutch Colony in what was then Jefferson County, Virginia, now Henry and Shelby County, Kentucky== The formation of The Low Dutch Company enabled the purchase in 1784 of about 3,000 acres in what is now Henry and Shelby Counties for the proposed colony. Indian attacks forced the members to abandon the first settlement in 1785 and flee to the relative safety of Mercer and Clark Counties. In the spring of 1786 the company purchased 6,000 acres adjacent to their original holdings from Squire Boone, brother of Daniel Boone, selling off approximately 1,350 acres to help finance the investment. In March 1786 the members formally signed the articles of agreement. All land was held in common, with all profits or losses to be shared equally. The tract, straddled the boundary of Shelby and Henry Counties totaling more than 7,600 acres. It was divided into 34 lots of varying sizes, from 200 acres and upward and allocated to members. Farm plots were assigned to individuals and their families, but actual legal title was held by the Company, which combined the elements of a modern business corporation, cooperative, religious congregation and commune. Remarkably some descendants of this colony still reside on a portion of the original purchase today. The Company appointed a trustee whose duty it was to look after all the estate and keep records. Actual first settlement of the tract did not begin until about 1790 at Bantatown, later Pleasureville. Dutch and non-Dutch families moved in, purchasing land adjacent to the colony, but did not join the Company. From the beginning there were problems with conflicting land claims over the tract purchased from Squire Boone. This resulted in numerous law suits with financial loss to the Company. In 1813 a claim for more than a thousand acres was decided against the Company requiring them to repurchase the land. In 1820 the Company lost more land, including that upon which Bantatown was located. Other suits were filed by the Company to reclaim land from the heirs of original members who were holding tracts in private ownership. In addition, one of the primary objectives of the Company had been to establish a Dutch Reformed Church and obtain a Dutch Reformed minister. This failed and members defected to other churches, primarily the Presbyterians who were in harmony with their Calvinistic beliefs but also the Baptists and Methodists. Eventually some of the Low Dutch descendants would found the religious movement known as the Shakers. Beginning in 1817, families started moving away from the colony, first to Switzerland County, IN and then Johnson County, IN, where farmland was $1.25 an acre. This period was referred to as "the exodus." The Company was dissolved in 1831. Title to the land was transferred by deed to individual owners from about 1831 to 1839.

[[Category: Idaho Projects]] The goal of this project is to ... this is part of the Idaho Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Idaho]], which is part of the United States Project [[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:United_States]] Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Downs-977|Debra Allison]]. Though born in Lewiston, Idaho (the same hospital as my father), I spent most of my school years in Nampa, which is not the County seat of Canyon County, but was an idealist place to grow up. When I got into Boise State (College at the time), I moved to Boise, where I raised my children. Though living in Texas since 1997, I choose to consider myself a native "Spud" - fun fact, potatoes are not Idaho's main source of income. Please feel free to explore and submit any ideas you have for improvement. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * uploading maps that show Cities within County (highlight County seat) * uploading County Seals (if they have one) * linking to local cemeteries within the County * linking One Place studies within the County * tagging with either birth place, death place, or recorded residence. * making sure that all family members are attached to each profile correctly. * to make sure that each line connects to the World tree * to direct main questions to G2G, until resolution * most of all, having fun by sourcing well Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=8906967 send me a private message].

With English proprietors of West Jersey, they petition that East and West Jersey be united rather than annexing East Jersey to New York. *'''September 1687:''' Daniel Coxe informs West Jersey Proprietors that he will assume governorship. *'''April 1688:''' East and West Jersey proprietors sign first of several surrenders of governance rights; “Glorious Revolution of 1688” in England and other events delay surrender for another fourteen years. *'''mid-1688 to April 1689:''' New Jersey and New York are temporarily annexed to the Dominion of New England under Gov. Edmund Andros, seated in Boston. *'''14 May 1688:''' Somerset County is set off from Middlesex County in East Jersey *'''5 September 1688:''' The boundary from the end of the Keith line to the Hudson River is agreed to by West Jersey Governor Daniel Coxe and East Jersey Governor Robert Barclay. *'''6 September 1688:''' West Jersey Council of Proprietors is formed to administer land distribution. *'''1689:''' England enters war with France; New York presses for annexation of New Jersey for reasons of defense. *'''1690s:''' East Jersey Assembly presses for taxation of proprietors’ unimproved lands; East Jersey Proprietors press for collection of quit-rents or taxation to support government. *'''March 1692:''' Dr. Daniel Coxe, West Jersey’s largest shareholder, sells governance and certain land rights to the West Jersey Society (a land speculation company) for £9,800. By 1699, 230,000 acres of land are surveyed out of 577,000 acres estimated to belong to the Coxe right. *'''31 October 1693:''' East Jersey’s counties are formally divided into townships for administration of local government; all of Somerset County is treated as a single township. *'''17 May 1694:''' West Jersey’s county boundaries are formalized, although the courts were well established.

New Jersey becomes a single royal colony, although the provincial capitals of Perth Amboy and Burlington continue as dual seats of government for the colony’s eastern and western divisions, respectively. Proprietors retain land rights. Deeds, surveys and other records will continue to refer to the provinces of East and West Jersey into the revolutionary period and later. *'''27 March 1719:''' Colonial legislature passes an act for appointment of commissioners to determine the true north point of the Duke of York’s grant of 1664. *'''25 July 1719:''' Tripartite (three-party) deed executed between representatives of New York, East New Jersey and West New Jersey agreeing to northern boundary of New Jersey and the northern terminal of an unsurveyed partition line between East and West Jersey. *'''1738 to 1776:''' Disputes prevail relative to quit-rent rights of the East Jersey Proprietors and land titles in areas for which patents were granted by Gov. Nicolls. *'''September-October 1743:''' John Lawrence, for the East Jersey Proprietors, surveys the partition line between East and West Jersey to the northern terminal. Many grants between the original partition and the Lawrence Line had been granted in the preceding decades, confusing the land titles in this triangular area in the center of the colony. *'''13 April 1745:''' Bill in Chancery filed by East Jersey Proprietors challenging the settlers of the “Clinker Lots” in Elizabeth-Town. Defendants’ answer to bill is completed in August 1751. Longstanding dispute stemming from patents granted by Gov. Nicolls eighty years before are never resolved judicially. *'''1769:''' Commissioners appointed by the king establish New York-New Jersey boundary line. Two hundred thousand acres within New York boundary had been considered part of New Jersey; however, East Jersey Proprietors agree to the line. The survey is completed in 1774. West Jersey Proprietors unsuccessfully attempt to have legislature recognize the new northern point as the northern end of the East-West Jersey partition. *'''25 November 1790:''' Trenton becomes the capital of all New Jersey. === Source === [http://www.nj.gov/state/darm/pdf/proprietors.pdf Using the Records of the East and West Jersey Proprietors], by Joseph R.

He held many commands and his promotions were rapid. In 1775-6 he was a Captain in Colonel Alexander McDougal's Regiment, 1st N. Y. Line. On April 27, 1776, the Provincial Congress recommended him to the Continental Congress for Major of the same Regiment. In November of the same year he was recommended for Lieutenant- Colonel of the 3d Line, and in July, 1780, he was made Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 5th Regiment of the Line. In 1781, as Lieutenant-Colonel, he commanded a Regiment of Levies, and in 1782 was made full Colonel of still another Regiment of Levies, After the death of General Nicholas Herkimer, Colonel Willett commanded the Tryon Co. Militia as Acting Brigadier General, and in the battles of Johnstown and Caughnawaga defeated the enemy most signally. == Sources == * Three Rivers, History From America's Most Famous Valleys, New York In The Revolution as Colony and State, by James A.

[[Category: Ohio]] [[Category: Ohio Project]] {{United States|sub-project=Ohio}} == List of Ohio Project Members == This is a place to list the WikiTree members who are working on the [[Project:Ohio|Ohio Project]], It is intended to help with communication and various sub-projects. To add yourself to this list, please: *Go to Edit *Enter your WikiTree ID and name in double brackets (for example, [[Sample-62120|Ellen Sample]]) followed by information about your particular areas of interest and current activities within the Ohio Project *Click "Save Changes" Please insert your name in alphabetical order by last name. '''Ohio Project Members''' *[[Adams-16917|Marj Adams]] - focus on husband Thomas Green's 2nd gr grandfather, Ira Green. Possibly born 13 April 1820, location possibly Franklin County. He died there in 1898, burial info of wife "Eliza, wife of Ira Green" d. 1889 on the gravestone in Reynoldsburg Methodist Hill Cemetery. Ira's death notice in ''Columbus Dispatch'' by 2nd son John omitted Ira's parents' names. birth date was calculated from death date. *[[Amon-120|Daniel Amon]] - My Great-Great-Grandfather immigrated from Slovakia to the United States and later settled in Columbus, Ohio. I still have family that resides in Ohio even though my parents moved to South Carolina in the 80s. * [[Bohlen-56|Steven Bohlen]] - Areas of interest include research of my paternal Bolin line, as well as several other families that at one time lived or still live in Franklin, Ross, Fayette, Highland, Greene, and Fairfield counties. Member of Ohio, Fairfield Co., Ross Co., & Fayette Co. Genealogical Societies. Main surnames of interest with connections to Ohio include Bolin/Bohlen, Goldsberry, Garner, English, Mountjoy, Stermer, Creed, Uncles, Fogle, and McCoy. Looking to help the project any way that I am able. *[[Colville-218|Joelle Colville-Hanson]] - I got lots of Scottish immigrants in Washington County. If that’s of interest to anyone I’d love to work together. *[[Doutt-29|Sandy (Doutt) Garner]] - Most of my family still reside in Ohio. Counties of interest include Cuyahoga, Erie, Huron, Lorain, and Tuscarawas. Surnames include: Doutt, Donohoe, Willoughby, Vining, Banks, Higgins, Moroney. Especially interested in information regarding ggrandfather Thomas Donohoe, ggrandfather William Vining, 2nd ggrandfather Lorenzo Devaro Vining (this lineage dates to colonial Mass.). * [[Hildebrandt-355|Diane Hildebrandt]] - Focus on Muskingum County. My third great-grandfather was Dr. Increase Mathews (aka Matthews). With the assistance of his uncle, Brigadier-General Rufus Putnam (appointed the first Surveyor-General of the Northwest Territory) and Levi Whipple, he founded a settlement called Springfield southeast of the juncture of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers. This name was changed to Putnam in 1814 because there was another settlement by that name. The town of Putnam was annexed by Zanesville in 1872. Dr. Increase Mathews built a stone house in 1805. The Dr. Increase Mathews House is now a museum owned and operated by the Muskingum Historical Society. Dr. Increase also built the Stone Academy. Increase's brother, John Mathews, was one of the first 48 to Ohio. His sister, Susannah, and brother-in-law, Jonathan Stone, settled in Belpre. Jonathan was also one of the 48. Sometime after 1776, this branch of the family dropped one T from their surname. In fact, the Revolutionary War records for their father Daniel Mathews Jr. uses both forms of their surname. * [[Hood-4489|Dan Hood]] - I live in Southern Ohio and am interested in the territory and early statehood settlement of Southern Ohio. I am initially from California, but have discovered several family members who lived in Southern Ohio. Counties I'm interested in include: Adams, Brown, Highland, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and surrounding counties. Surnames include: Records, Hughey, Finch, Fenton, and Elrod among others. * [[Kirch-132|Carole (Kirch) Bannes]] - My family has deep roots in Knox, Coshocton and Tuscarawas counties in central Ohio. When I retired in 2004, I started a Knox County Families project and ended up with over 92,000 names, all linked and sourced. Unfortunately, it was stored on the old RootsWeb (World Connect) site, where it was available to anyone who wanted to see (but not download) it. As most of you know, that site went belly-up several years ago. The research now resides on TribalPages (WikiTree couldn't absorb a GED that large), but the sources are not showing up there. :( At any rate, I'm really good at finding anyone who ever lived in Knox, Coshocton, or Tuscarawas County. My family names from Ohio are Kirch, Mizer, Baker, Russell, Fry, Snyder, Yearous, and Wiggins. The Russells go back to the Mayflower; the Mizers (Meiser/Miser) to the Palatine Migration. * [[Loy-520|Emily (Loy) Martinez]] - I have family all over the state. My family started in Muskingum and Perry Counties. Then some moved north into Allen County. They spread from those. I was actually born in Licking County. Mordecai Edwards who was my 3rd great-grandfather started what I believe was the 1st Methodist Church in the state in Muskingum County. My family lines are Edwards, Shirer, Shroyer, Binkley, Sturtz, Bagent, Bainter, Buker, Gaumer, Barrett, Bell, Lecky, and the list goes on. Some ran newspapers, some were farmers, some ran funeral homes, some were doctors, some were teachers, some were builders. I lived there until I graduated from college. My brother still lives there. I think that the majority of my extended family still lives there. I am an Ohio State grad. I am definitely here to help! * [[Moriarty-508|Mike Moriarty]] - Focus on Perry County. During the 1830's and 1840s, my GGG-grandfather (Kircher) and his family came from Geispolsheim (Bas-Rhin) and lived all around Perry county (Somerset, Saltillo, Harrison, McLuney). My gg-grandfather (Slinger)/mother(Kircher) both died in the Cholera epidemic of 1849, whence the family moved on to Saint Louis, New York and elsewhere. In addition to two decades of farming in the county, the family was active in the Dominican order of priests and nuns, with three OP's in one generation who worked in education in Ohio, Boston, New York and elsewhere. *[[Rodgers-2825|Jody Rodgers]] - Several of my family lines were some of the first settlers to Muskingum County. My research also covers much of Southeastern Ohio- including Coshocton, Guernsey, Perry, Monroe, Noble, Knox, and Licking Counties. I am working on a One Place Study of Dresden, Ohio. *[[Stewart-213|Saundra Stewart]] - Ohio was once the wild frontier for the new United States. So, I'm attempting to cover the history and first settlers of all counties and their townships in order to track individuals and families during their westward movement. I'm also profiling those of specific ethnic settlements like "African-American Settlements", "Welsh Settlements", etc. * [[Stokely-68|Raymond Stokely]] - The Stockley/Stokely's emigrated to the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1636. My 6x Great Grandfather John Stockley [[Stockley-3|'''John Stockley''']] founded a 2700 acre homestead in Accomack County (1664), Virginia. John's decedents. Woodman, Oliver and Prettyman settled in Sussex County, Delaware. My 3x Great Grandfather, David Stokely [[Stokely-3|'''David Stokely''']], upon the death of his father Prettyman (1790) moved westward from Sussex County via Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the Ohio River arriving in Marietta, Ohio in 1795. In the spring of 1799 David Stokely came up the Muskingum River from Marietta to Putnam, a part of present-day Zanesville. He built a cabin on “Congress Land” near the site of the Putnam foundry. In 1797 Stokely was deeded 100 acres of land in Newton Township in the Bear Creek Allotment, Eighth Range, and Lot 36 of the Third Township and Lot 31 in the Fourth Township. In 1805 Stokely moved to his land in Newton Township, south of Jonathan Creek. Stokely built a log cabin that year and the family occupied it for the next ten years. The cabin was torn down in 1815. The back wing of the existing homestead was built on the site where the cabin once stood.The larger front portion of the house was added in 1840. Stokelys lived in that home until 1981. The Homestead was a station on the Underground Railroad and was visited by Gen Morgan's men during his raid into Ohio in 1863. I am researching the histories of the Civil War Regiments my ancestors were in, the 32nd, 62nd 56th and 73rd OVIs and the Underground Railroad in Ohio

[[Category:Piopolis, Illinois]] =='''First Emigration from Ersingen, Baden (1841) '''== Cajetan Aydt came to the United States from Ersingen initially in 1939 looking for an area to settle. He returned to the Ersingen area to recruit other families to join him. A group of 11 families came to the United States in the spring of 1941. Nine of the families arrived in Hamilton County. They were: * Urban Anselment ** Elenore (Schuster) – wife ** Josephine Schuster – born out of wedlock? ** Alexandra Anselment – daughter * Cajetan Aydt (or Cajent or John Kaietan) * John Leonard Aydt * Charles William Aydt (known as William) ** Regina Huth - wife * Albert Esswine (Esswein) ** Christine (Kaercher) - wife ** Anastasia - daughter * Joseph Haller ** Vincentia (Voegele) – wife ** Charles - son ** Joseph Salomon - son * Mathew Kaufmann (Mathias) ** Elizabeth Ruebenacker – wife ** Felix - son ** Agatha - daughter * Anton Kaufmann (Anthony) ** Christine Schuster - wife * Marzell Zachmann (Marcell) ** Vincentia Frey – wife ** [[Zachmann-18|Mary Eva]] - daughter ** Lawrence - son ** Phillip James – son ** Mary Elizabeth – daughter Albert Esswine’s brothers, John and Stephen, also came with the group from Baden, but decided to settle in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Albert came to the United States with his wife, Christine, and daughter Anastasia. His first wife died in 1848. He remarried Louise Schuster shortly after. Urban Anselment married Elenore Schuster on April 15, 1841 just before they left for the new world. Illinois land records show Marcell Zachmann, John Leonard Aydt, Christine Aydt, John Kaieton Aydt, Urban Anselment, Joseph Haller, and Anthony Kaufman purchasing land in the fall of 1941 in the northern portion of Hamilton County near what was to later to be Piopolis. The three Aydt’s from Ersingen were also related. John and Charles William Aydt were brothers, the sons of Charles Louis Aydt (1781-1852) and Barbara Ochs (1782-1820). Cajetan was their cousin, the son of Leonard Aydt (1770-?). John Leonard Aydt and Agatha Brink (or Brenk) were their paternal grandparents. == Piopolis area in the 1840’s == Land was still plentiful and cheap in this part of Illinois. Many others from Ersingen, Bilfingen, and Spessart, came to this area. The 1850 census shows over 80 people that emigrated from Germany living in Hamilton County. Nearly all of these were from the Ersingen area in Baden. Anthony Kaufmann died just three years after immigrating on December 14, 1946, leaving his wife, Christine, a widow. Additional Aydt brothers followed. By 1943 John Jacob Aydt owned land in the same area. Alexander Aydt owned land in the area in by 1953. He received his land through a warrant rather than outright purchase. Tobias Brunner arrived from Ersingen in 1942. In April 1943 Solomon Karcher and Ignatz Karcher arrived in the United States. Freys, Reylings, Ripplingers, and Schusters were also among early settlers that trace their roots to Karlsruhe area of Baden. == Resources == There are a number of good sources of genealogical information about these Piopolis (and Hamilton County). One of the best is Piopolis Families by August Reyling. This book is available at Family Search at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Hamilton_County,_Illinois#Church_Records. It includes over 700 pages of family sheets constructed primarily from the church records of St. John's church in Piopolis, IL. == External links == * [https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Hamilton_County,_Illinois Hamilton County at Family Search] * [http://hchs-il.com Hamilton County Historical Society]
