[Autobiography of Francis Milton MILLER copied from a handwritten account preserved by Vida Catherine MILLER COLLEY, granddaughter of the said Francis Milton MILLER. This copy was typed from a previous typescript copied from the original:]
I Francis Milton MILLER was born November 8th. 1838 in Benton County, State of Missouri.
Father: My Father was William MILLER who was born in State of Kentucky. My Grandfather Henry MILLER was from North Carolina. My Grandmother Hannah (BISHOP) MILLER was from South Carolina.
Mother: My mother Levina (WILLIAMS) MILLER was born in Georgia. My Grandfather Howell WILLIAMS was from South Carolina. My Grandmother Rachel (RADCLIFF) WILLIAMS was from Georgia.
Sisters: My two Sisters (twins) Paulene Jane and Levina Caraline MILLER were born January 10th., 1842. My Mother died at the birth of those twin sisters and was buried where she died in Polk County, Mo. After Mother’s death I with my baby sisters were taken to Grandfather MILLER’s in Benton County to live.
About the year 1845 my Father went to Texas and served a while with the Texas Rangers. He returned to Benton Co., Mo. and married a widow Rebecca MYERS who had two children Mary and George MYERS. This was about 1847. I was then taken to live with my Father and Stepmother and the Stepsister and Stepbrother. While my two sisters remained with Grandfather MILLER who before his death made them by his will equal sharers of his estate (with his own children).
At or near the age of ten years I commenced attending such schools as we had in those days. We had only what were termed subscription schools and my recollection is that they were very poorly managed and equipped. Among my first teachers were Annie REYNOLDS, Guilford B. PARK and Joseph MONROE.
When I was about sixteen years old my Father removed to Henry Co., Mo. near Leesville. My teachers there in the public schools, which were then being organized by law were Fenton G. REAVIS, James N. THOMPSON of near Leesville and Joel TOWNSEND who taught what was then termed a high school at Sardis Seven nine West of Calhoun in in Henry Co. To this last mentioned school I attended only about two months, with Walter S. REAVIS as chum and schoolmate. We boarded at Wm. L. AVERYs and attended school until corn gathering time came and called home. I was very much disappointed in this as I had been promised that I might attend this school all winter. As I could not return to school Mr. REAVIS would not let Walter go back alone (He was two or three years younger than I) This was about the fall of 1858 about the first of October I made up my mind that the best thing for me to do in order to get a better education which I very much desired, was to leave my Fathers house and work for wages till I could secure enough to continue my studies. Whether this was right or wrong I set out to accomplish, leaving home after the family were all asleep at night, As I fully believed I would be refused permission to go had I requested it.
I went to Warrensburg in Johnson Co., MO. and hired to a farmer near the town to cut corn for a few days at $1.00 a day. I soon went to work at a saw and grist mill owned by Wm. GRANGER on Black Water Creek near Warrensburg. I was now getting $20.00 per month with my board. I worked all winter there still with the intention of going to school as soon as I could accumulate enough money. But I soon discovered it was a slow process saving money at such wages. And in the spring, about April I concluded to go to my Grandfathers and help take care of my twin Sisters as Grandfather was old and poor and the girls often had to work out in the farm crops. A widowed Aunt (Jane LUSK) also lived at Grandfathers. She had a small Son (Silas) who was not able to do much work. I accordingly lived there about two years helping with crops in summer and teaching school in the fall and winter. During my stay here I joined the Christian Church Leesville under the preaching of G. W. LONGEEN. During this time I became acquainted with an orphan girl Catherine GILLEY, near my own age, who lived with her Aunt Sallie (SAYLOR) WOLF. I fell deeply in love with her and on my 22nd. birthday, November 8, 1860, we were married by Joseph MONROE a justice of the peace. This ended my intentions and efforts to attend school any more. I now engaged in farming on rented land with dwelling house furnished. I had however entered 80 acres of government land on which I soon built a log cabin and in which we were living when the Civil War broke out in 1861.
Our first child a girl, Alice Carey MILLER, was born on December 27, 1861.
In 1862 the Mo. Militia (E.M.M.) were enrolled and organized and I was elected 1st. Lieutant (Lieutenant) of Co. G, 60th Regt. Our Head Quarters were at Warsaw, Benton Co., Mo. We did considerable service in protecting our homes from marauding parties of bush whackers and etc.
Sometime in 1863, the M.S.M. cav. vols, were organized into N.S. service. I left the E.M.M., which had been partially disorganized and sent home, on July 2nd. 1863, and joined Co. E. 6th. Regt. as private, as this Co. was on its march from North Mo. to Springfield Mo. I did this because it was not safe for men to stay at home for many were killed at home in the presence of their families. I bid good bye to wife and baby and many friends and went with my Regt. to Springfield where we were stationed. Sometime in Aug. I was detached in a squad of 20 to escort an inspecting officer through Cassville, Newtonia, and Carthage and back to Springfield. This was a hard ride for 3 or 4 days and part of the nights as the officer had one of the best and easiest riding horses in the Army and we were on the gallop a greater part of the time with out one nights rest. After returning to Springfield, I was again detached to go in an escort for a Telegraph Co. to repair lines that the rebels had cut away down east near Lebanon and before I got back to Springfield I was taken sick and had a long siege of pneumonia and typhoid fever. Near the 1st. of Oct. I began to recuperate somewhat. The Regt. Surgeon sent for my Father who with my Stepmother brought a carriage and I was granted a sick furlough and was taken to my home in Benton Co., Mo. where I lay for months not able to get out of bed.
On the 21st. of October 1863, our 2nd. child a daughter (Ida May) was born. Before this baby was a month old we were left alone in our log cabin and wife had to nurse me and her two babes and keep up fires and all the chores belonging to such a family. She even had to cut wood and carry it in to keep up fires. I don’t think a woman ever lived who toiled with more patience and devotion for husband and children than did Katie Miller. Fortunately she kept up and bravely brought us through the winter to the 1st of March when I was ordered to report to my Regt. at Springfield, Mo. I had gotten so I could walk with the aid of crutches. The order seemed imperative and I was taken to Warsaw, Mo. and took the stage coach for Springfield. On arriving the Regt. Surgeon was very much surprized to see me on crutches as he had a report that I was able for duty and was having a good time with my family at home. But the mistake had been made and I had to stay with the army till the Surgeon said I was not likely to be able for duty for a long time if ever. So they made application to have me discharged and on June 13, 1864 I received my discharge and giving my crutches to a comrade who had a leg amputated I took a cane and on the stage coach I landed at Warsaw and out home on horse back riding a womans side saddle as my right hip was paining me so I could not ride astride. I had never received a cent of my pay for either the E.M.M. or the M.S. Cav vol service, so we were in very straightened circumstances financially and as it was not safe for even a cripple to stay at home in the country districts I moved to Warsaw (where was a garison of N.S. Soldiers) and taught school. School in Shawnee bend just across the Osage River from Warsaw. I soon made collection of what the U. S. Gov. and the State of Mo. owed me for my services, and with the proceeds bought a house and lot in Warsaw, Mo., where I managed to work in various offices writing to earn a rather scanty living for myself and family. I was soon appointed Postmaster here and thus was living a little more independently until LINCOLN was assassinated.
Walter Scott MILLER was born December 16, 1865.
When Andrew JOHNSON became president, I did not agree in many things with his policy and being frank and outspoken in my opinions and after the reconstruction the Bourboan and Valandingham Democrats were largely in aseendancy I was after serving as P>M> only 2 or 3 years removed to give place to an Ohio Carpetbagger, Valandingham Democrat.
As no charges had ever been preferred against me, except for political reasons, this made me pretty sore. I now took any odd jobs I could get to support my family. I wrote some in the County Clerks and Recorders offices and worked with William B. LONGAN in getting up abstracts of titles to land in Benton Co., Mo. The first work of the kind that had ever been done in the county. I was getting $40.00 per month which was considered pretty fair wages for those days. While thus engaged Dr. W. S. HOLLAND bought out the store of Holland, Dums and Lay and wanted me to work for him in the store and as I was inexperienced in the business he offered me only $25.00 per month and what goods I used at cost. Gave me a day and a night to consider the matter. I at first thought of refusing the offer as it was $15.00 less per month than I already getting, but after deliberating with my wife and as I wanted to learn the mercantile business, I concluded to accept the job and began immediately to try it for at least one month.
At the end of the month the Dr. proposed to sell me an interest in the store and offered to buy a farm of 160 acres, which I owned some 10 miles out in the country and to loan me enough money besides to pay for a third interest in the store. So I concluded to make the deal. As never expected to live on the farm any way as it was poor and rockey. He allowed me $500.00, and loaned me $1200.00 at 10% interest to pay for the 1/3 of a $6000.00 stock of goods. We went into contract to run one year in the partnership and then if not satisfied we were to invoice and divide the goods, profits, etc.
Francis William MILLER was born May 25, 1869.
At the end of the year, he proposed to sell out the whole business to me and I took him up. HOLLAND loaned me enough money at 10% interest to pay for his share of the stock of goods. (general merchandise) and also recommended me to the Merchants of St. Louis, where we bought our goods in those days.
Willis Holland MILLER was born April 2, 1871.
I ran this business with fair success for 2 or 3 years, until competition became pretty strong and I did not feel that I had sufficient means to successfully meet it. I there-fore began reducing my stock with the intention of removing to some small country town and closing out entirely as soon as I could find a farm or some land I could buy to make a farm.
Nellie Catherine MILLER was born November 2, 1872.
So in the fall of 1873, November 3, I removed to Lowry City, St. Clair Co., Mo. with my family and the remnant of my stock of goods. I rented a rather small store building, putting the goods in the front and my family in the rear part of the building. I bought a small amount of dry goods, groceries, etc in order to fill up so the people would trade with me as there was another general merchandise store in the town. I took produce for the goods and even took fence rails at $3.00 per 100 as I was aiming to buy a piece of land as soon as I could look around a little bit.
I ran a whole lot of the goods off during the winter of 1873 and 1874. And about May 1st. 1874, I bought 80 acres of raw prairie land from John S. HUBBARD paying $3.00 per acre for it. The following is the description of its locality. The E 1/2 of S.W. 1/4 of section 6, township 39, range 25.
During the summer of 1874, I still lived in Lowry City, My wife attended to store trade while worked on our new farm. I had the rails we bought delivered on the land. I fenced a few acres and broke quite a bit of sod, but raised no corn and very little fodder as it was an exceedingly dry season. I also built a two room house and smoke house and moved onto the farm in October 1874. No one raise any corn to amount to anything so we had a hard time getting through the winter. My old friend and teacher Guilford B. PARK let me have two loads of corn of a crop he had got over on the Osage bottoms. We paid 65 cents per bushel. This was all the corn I could find to buy so I hauled wheat from Warsaw at $1.00 per bushel to feed our team and cow and one hog through the winter. Every body had to pay $1.00 for seed corn that was shipped to Clinton from Iowa, No R. R. station nearer than Clinton yet.
This was a fine season and every body made a bouncing big crop of corn and fair crop of oats, potatoes, etc.
On July 20, 1875, Clarence Alvin and Clara Mabel our twins were born increasing our already large family to ten in all.
In the fall of 1875 I taught a 3 months term of school for $25.00 per month.
By the spring of 1877, I had succeeded in fencing the whole 80 acres and had broken out near half of it and was cultivating it in corn. I had gathered up and raised several head of cattle, hogs and sheep and a few head of horses. I had no barn yet but had a long shed board up at sides and ends and covered with hay for a while and afterwards covered with clap boards which I hauled from Benton County. I had also hauled from the same locality the lumber to build the shed.
Almira Myrtle Born, November 25, 1877.
I now took membership in Park Grove Christian Church, and wife and daughters Alice and Ida and Son Walter also baptized and took membership. I had belonged in younger days at Leesville, then Warsaw, Mo., then to Park Grove. We hauled our fire wood some 4 or 5 miles from near the Osage River where I cleared up land for all the timber that would not make 4 good rails to the cut.
My son Walter was now getting large enough to drive a team, and as we had two teams we gathered in our supply of wood pretty fast. We mowed wild prairie grass in summer for hay as we had no meadows yet. There was yet plenty of open prairie land and we took the grass free without any one to say us nay. Every body did this until people began to buy and improve the lands along in 1880.
In Sept. 1880, I bought another 80 acres of land adjoining mine. West 1/2 S.W. 1/4 of section 6, township 39, range 25, for $5.00 per acre. This tract was fractional containing 85 40/100 acres or the whole S.W. 1/4 of the section. People about this time began to use barbed wire for fencing and I was one who objected for much to its use as a great many horses were maimed by, but I soon concluded to fence the balance of farm with it. I had already taken a great deal of t;ouble and paid out considerable money for to get a hedge fence around the first or east 80 acres. I afterwards was sorry I had, for we found that a good fence could not be made of it, and in a few years, we began to dig and pull the Bois De Arc hedge up root and branch and replace it with woven wire which made a good safe fence.
Near this time we built the Park Grove Christian Church having previously worshiped in the R. G. school house.
In the fall of 1885, I began building a larger house as our family had grown in numbers to eleven and were very much crowded. I built a two story house on the South and connected it with the old one, I hauled the hard lumber 12 miles from the Pevely Bend on Osage River.
By the fall of 1886, we had finished and moved into the new house still using the old part for kitchen and dining room.
In August 1890, we concluded as we had now a pretty good dwelling, we would try building a barn. So I tried the lumber yard near us for fair prices on lumber, but could not get them low enough to suit me. So went to Willow Springs in Howell Co., and bought a car load of pine lumber and had it delivered to Lowry City for a great deal less than I could buy it near home.
I bought all the lumber except the shingles which I concluded I could get cheaper and better at Lowry City than at Willow Springs.
hired Mr. FIELD a carpenter of Lowry City, Mo., at $1.50 per day and he, my boys, and myself put up the barn 24 X 60 ft. with 16ft. posts and twelve ft. shed on South and North sides, making the total width 48 ft. After finishing the barn we had ample room for all our stock and grain and hay to feed them with.
July 29, 1894, all at home. Se notes in old book.
August 19, 1894, Clarence joined church.
Clarence Alvin died August 11, 1896.
We were getting everything arranged pretty well to take care of our stock, except we lacked water convenient. So in the fall of 1903, we began to dig a well in the barn yard. We hired M John BOND and his 2 boys to dig and wall the well at $1.50 per ft., he to furnish material and tools and I to board them and two horses. Mr. BOND said he could get me plenty of water at 35 ft., but when they got down the 35 ft., there was no sign of water. So I hired to go on down to 50 ft. depth at same figures and still they got no water. They had struck pretty hard stone to dig or blast, so I offered them $2.00 per ft. to go on till they would find water. But the digging was so hard and expense to keep tools sharp and etc., that let them quit after they had got down 52 ft. They walled the 52 ft. with stone clear from the bottom to the top.
I then hired two men with a 6 in. well auger to drill down in the center of the dug hole 53 ft. more, making 105 ft for total depth of the well and water that was rise 8 ft. deep in the dug part. I paid the drill men $1.00 per foot, making the well cost me about $132.00 just for the digging. I next bought a wind mill that cost me with pump, tank and all thing complete about $90.00 and we had plenty of very hard mineral water that the stock did not like, but I ran tiling from the barn into the well and the large barn roof soon filled the well to brim with good soft rain water.
In the spring of 1907, I took stock in the Mt. Zion Telephone Co, and we built a telephone line from Lowry City to Mt. Zion and bought and put a telephone in our house, I believe there were 10 phones on this line. We had free exchange with all farmer lines centering in Lowry City.
In the fall and winter of 1909, we built the Christian Church house in Lowry City which cost when completed between $1500.00 and $2000.00. It was a frame vaneered with brick. Our family had transferred our membership from Park Grove Church and of course was under obligations to help pay for the building and incidentals of the new Church, which we did to the best of our ability.
This Church had just recently been organized by the labors of Bro. John I ORRISON and by Bro. John H. JONES. The Lowry City Church was organized with very few members, probably 35 or 40. The Church building was dedicated I think in June 1910.
About the 1st. of the tear 1910, we, the whole family, I may say got in the notion of selling our farm, for many reasons, the principal reason being, I was getting too old to labor hard and long enough by myself to take care of the live stock and keep up the farm, and for many other reasons we need not mention here. So we put the farm in the hands of real estate agents to sell, asking $50.00 per acre, but after a short time we reduced the price to $45.00.
So in Feb. 1810, R. L. CRAWFORD and Larue READING, agts, made a sale of the farm to Danl LEWIS of Smithville, Clay County, Mo. at the $45.00 per acre. LEWIS to pay $2000.00 down and gave his note for balance of price, payable in 3 yrs. at 6% int. semi annual, with privilege of paying part of principal at any int. pay period. LEWIS gave me a deed of trust to secure payment, he and wife signing it.
On the 1st. of March, he having completed so far with all requirements, Wife and I made and delivered the warranty deed. We to give full possession the 1st. of April and allowing Mr. LEWIS’s hands to move into one of the houses immediately so they could go to work on the farm. We advertized a public sale to take place 19 of March 1910 and on that day sold all our live stock, farming implements, and part of our house hold goods and began to make preparations for moving to Carrollton as we had made arrangements with my son Willis to move into his residence and he to live with us. He had kindly come down from Carrollton and helped with the sale and about packing our goods, getting car and etc.
On April 1st. or near that date our car arrived at Carrollton and the family a day or two later. Willis and I had already gone on to get everything ready. We thought we might stay with Willis two or three years on his place or until we would find a home suitable to all of us. But I concluded I did not like the town of Carrollton or the surrounding country for a permanent home. So I about the 1st July 1910 went to Kansas City and rented a residence at 2441 Agnes Ave. and by the 4th. moved into it. All except Clara and Myrtle who concluded to stay with Willis and make their home there. I looked over Kansas City quite a good deal hunting a piece of property to make us a home. After some 3 months renting we found the place we concluded would do. On the 25th. day of October 1910, Newton J. KELLY made me a warranty deed to the South thirty nine feet of lot 3, Block 5, in Central Park addition to Kansas City. I paid him $3,700.00 cash. We moved into this property about November 1st. No. 2608 Chestnut.
In the spring of 1911 I bought and set out some peach, plum trees and grape vines and spaded up the back yard or most of it for garden, and found no trouble in raising near all the vegetable we needed.
On March 1st. 1913, Mr. LEWIS paid all the balance of the price of the old home stead and we own not a foot of land except lot we live on in Kansas City, a small lot in Lowry City Cemetery.

GENERATION No. 1
1. RICHARD1 CORLEY was born Bef 1655, and died Abt 1708 in Hanover County, Virginia.
Notes
Richard CORLEY is the earliest CORLEY of record in North America. Hanover County is near Richmond, up the James River from Jamestown and Williamsburg. The first ship reached Jamestown from England in 1607, not too long before Richard was born. I don̓t know where Richard was born, but if he wasn’t born in england, his parents probably were.
As Virginia got too crowded, and more land opened up to the south, descendants of Richard CORLEY migrated to the Edgefield County area of South Carolina and from there to Georgia, Alabama and other states.

Early BURLINGAME History
The original inhabitants of what is now known as England were the Celts who in turn were invaded by the Romans and the Celts were driven into what is now Scotland and Ireland. These invaders were known as Britons. After the withdrawal of the Roman forces about the beginning of the fifth century, the South Britons were no longer able to withstand the attacks of the Scots and Picts. They applied for assistance from the Roman General Aetius, but he was too much involved in the struggle with Attila to attend to their petitions. In desperation the Britons sought the aid of the Saxons; and according to Anglo-Saxon narratives, three ships containing 1,600 men, were dispatched to their help under the command of the brothers Hengest and Horan. These Saxons were assigned the isle of Thanet for habitation, and from there marched against the northern foe obtaining complete victory. The date assigned to these events by the later Anglo-Saxon Chronicles is 449 AD. The Chronicles also states that the Saxons, finding the land desirable, turned their arms against the Britons, and reinforced by new bands, the Jutes and Angles, conquered first Kent and ultimately the larger part of the island. These Saxons, Jutes and Angles were Teutonic tribesmen coming from the country about the mouths of the Elbe and Weser Rivers in ancient Germany. This struggle continued for about 150 years and at the end of that time most of the South of Briton was in the hands of these Teutonic tribes. This conquered territory was then divided into small states. In 571 or 575 A.D. the Kingdom of East Angeles was founded by Uffa. This in turn was broken up into petty chieftaincies, one of them being BURLINGHAM, which means Byrl, “the cup bearer”, “ing” is the Saxon suffix meaning “son” and “hame” is the Angle suffix meaning “home or clan”, or in other words, home or clan of the sons of ByrL Here the clans of BURLINGHAM lived and prospered until early in the ninth century when the Danes, another Low German tribe, began making raids on this section and as these attacks became more frequent and in time the Danes had conquered all of what is now the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. The BURLINGHAMs were driven from their homes and fled into Wessex. By a treaty made at Wedmore in 878 A.D., the English King, Alfred the Great, had recognized the conquest of theses Danes and made a pact with Guthrum, their leader. By this treaty, the Danes were allowed to retain the land they had conquered, but they must be baptized. After peace was established, the BURLINGHAM returned to their homes, but with the lost of most of their property, they established new homes and made a fresh start. The name of BURLINGHAM and BYRLINGHAMINGA appear quite frequently in the ancient Saxon Chronicles; the final suffix “inga” being dropped prior to the Norman Invasion in the eleventh century. The suffix “ing” still remains in many English names and coupled with the Anglo suffix “hame” meaning home or clan, gives us such names as Birmingham, Burlingham, Cheltingham, Cunningham, Dillingham, etc.. These names ending in “ingahams” are not common in the south of England. In East Angila, the “ingahams” are quite numerous. In Suffolk they are found in the northern part, at no considerable distance from the Waveney River and in Norfolk in the south along the Waveney and Yare Rivers and near the coast of the now famous Norfolk Broads.
The name BURLINGHAM was spelled in many ways, some of which are: BYRLINGHAM (Worcester Rolls, 972 AD); BAELINGAM (Crawford Charters, 998 AD); BERLINGENAM, BIRLINGHAM, BERLINGAHAM, BURLINGHAM, BERLINGHAM, (Domesday Book, 1086 AD); BERLINGAHAM, BURLINGHAM, BURLINGAME (Fleet of Fines 1198 AD). After the twelfth century, the name was generally spelled BURLINGHAM.
In the County of Norfolk, east of Norwich the cathedral city, on the Yare River; halfway between Norwich and Yarmouth and near Acle are three parishes known as: Burlingham St. Peter, Burlingham St. Andrew, and Burlingham St. Edmund. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin R. BURLINGAME of Minneapolis, MN visited these places in England in 1960 and while there gathered considerable data on the BURLINGHAMs of Norfolk County, England, much of which appears in the following records. The Church, Burlingham St. Peter in North Burlingham, was built about 1050 AD and is now in complete ruins and overgrown with brush. Burlingham St. Andrew was built about 1275 AD and is still standing but is no longer in use. In this church is a monument to the Robert BURLINGHAM family. Burlingham St. Edmund is located in South Burlingham and was built around 1500 AD and is still used occasionally. About three-fourths of a mile from Burlingham St. Edmund stands Burlingham Hall, also built about 1500 AD and was the home of some of the early BURLINGHAMs. While in England, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin BURLINGAME met the gentleman, who a few years before had discovered a tunnel that ran from Burlingham St. Edmund to Burlingham Hall. When this tunnel was built and for what purpose is unknown; it has been sealed off many, many years ago and forgotten about. Burlingham Hall is one of the show places of England and is still used as a residence. The last time Kaiser Willhelm visited his grandmother, Queen Victoria of England, his royal party were quartered in Burlingham Hall, now a part of the Crown Lands.
Many of these early BURLINGHAMs served as knights and in turn were granted a fee. A Knight’s fee was the first, most universal, esteemed and most honorable species of land holding, and an owner of a Knight’s fee, or in other words, a Knight, in feudal times was bound to attend his Lord to the wars for forty days for each fee held, besides other incidents peculiar to the age of chivalry. Oft times a Lordship grew out of these Knight̓s fees. (For further description of Knighthood and Knight̓s fees see Blackstone̓s “Commentaries on the Common Laws of England.”) The title of Knight was not hereditary, but the right to use their coat-of-arms was permissable.
Many of the early records of Norfolk County, England have been destroyed and are by no means complete. Some of the BURLINGHAMs mentioned in the early records are as follows:
Hugh DE BIRLINGHAM, knighted by William the Conqueror about 1075 AD.
Walterus DE BIRLINGHAM was a witness to a deed confirming a grant to the Abbey of St. Benel of Holme, Norfolk County in 1163 AD.
Elfide BIRLINGHAM was granted land in Birmingham and said grant was witnessed by Nicholas DE BIRLINGHAM. No date given.
In the fourth year of the reign of King John (1203 AD), a fine was levied between Joceline DE BURLINGHAM and Matilda, his wife; William DE BURLINGHAM and Margaret, his wife; John DE DEPENAM and Isabel, his wife, and Emme, their sister, to Edwin CARPENTER and Jeffrey DE AMBLIE for 32 acres in Massingham, a half a knight̓s fee in Begheton, no consideration mentioned, but 20 marks of silver mentioned for the knight̓s fee. (Evidently this was the settlement of an estate.)
John DE DEPENHAM and Isabel his wife, leases to Joceline DE BURLINGHAM and Matilda, his wife, 5 acres in Oxburg at 18 shillings sterling, and 12 acres in Burlingham, the regrant for the lives of Joceline and Matilda at 4 shillings per year, for which regrant they pay 5 marks of silver.
Ailward DE BIRLINGHAM and Edwin, his son, leases Lingwode land to Gilbert DE LINGWODE and Richard, his son (ca. 1205 AD)
William, son of Brictric DE BIRLINGHAM, granted lands in South Berlingham, no date given.
In the “Monasticon Anglicanum of Dugdale” is a charter of confirmation from King Henry III in the 19th year of his reign (1235 AD) listing donatories to the founding and maintenance of a Benedictine Monastery at Bungay, is the following notations: “ – of the gift of Roger, son of Rynuld DE BIRLINGHAM, thirty denarates of the rent of the lands of which Robert HOG of Lingwood holds of the same Roger.” Another entry reads: “ – of the gift of Roger, son of Rynuld DE BIRLINGHAM, one-half of all white fish.” If said Roger was able to contribute such a sum to the maintenance of the Monastery, it is probable that he held at least one Knight̓s fee and probably more than one fee.
George DE BIRLINGHAM held one fee in the 41st year of the reign of Henry III (1250 AD) but was not a Knight.
1288 AD – 16th year of the reign of King Edward I – Matilda DE CATTON, widow of Alexander DE BIRLINGHAM, sells St. Martin land to Robert DE MARTHAM.

This effort is extracted from Nelson BURLINGAME, Burlingame Manuscript I. Merrilan, Wisconsin: Privately Printed, 1971, pages 2-272, passim. BURLINGAME’S undocumented study comprises several volumes, tracing the BURLINGAME family from colonial times to the present. Additional data is from material assembled by the late Glen ALLEN of Topeka, Kansas and his recently deceased sister, Mrs. Maxine HOBBLE, of Wakarusa, Kansas, both of whom were active in researching the MATTOCKS, the RUGG, and the BURLINGAME families. Sources that I have been able to document are cited immediately following the data.

ROGER BURLINGAME, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (HOWARD) BURLINGAME, born Kent Co., England Jan. 24, 1620, died Mashantatack (Cranston), R.I., Sept. 1, 1718 (VR of RI, 1st series, vol. II:52); married, first, England, about 1646, Jacolyn HUNTINGDON, died England; married, second, Warwick, R.I., Oct. 3, 1663 Mrs. MARY (LIPPITT) BARLINSTONE, born Providence Plantations, R.I., March 3, 1643, died Mashantatack July 5, 1718, daughter of John and Martha (_____) LIPPITT and widow of William BARLINSTONE, whom she had married on March 23, 1661. See below for information regarding John LIPPITT.
At the age of sixteen Roger BURLINGAME enlisted in the British Army, serving in the regiment of his uncle, Roger BURLINGHAM, and eventually reaching the rank of Captain. After his marriage and the birth of his son, Captain Roger BURLINGAME and his company were ordered to America; he landed with his troops at Boston on May 10, 1650. Soon after reaching America he resigned his commission and went up into the Connecticut Valley for the purpose of purchasing a farm, with the intention of bringing his wife and child to America, only to learn that his wife had died.
He was a witness to Court held at Stonington, Conn. in 1654. He and Thomas GRIFFIAN (said to have been the brother-in-law of Roger BURLINGAME, having married his sister, Elizabeth BURLINGAME) purchased one hundred acres of land on Feb. 16, 1656 at Pequot (now New London), Conn. located on the east side ‘of the brook Called misticke’. (Suffolk Deed III:455). He sold this farm on March 1, 1659.
John HARRUD, Roger BURLINGHAM and Thomas RALPH were recognized as the first English settlers of Mashantatuck (Sidney S. Rider, History of Rhode Island Lands). The three settlers claimed to have had a grant from the Cooweeseette Indians bearing the date of June 6, 1662 for 4000 acres at Patuxet, at a place called either Mashantatack or Paquabuck (Providence Town Papers 0120,I:53). By order of the General Assembly of Sept. 25, 1671, they were ordered to make the rate and levy the assessments on the inhabitants of Mashantatack.
Roger BURLINGHAM was elected Deputy to represent Warwick at the General Assembly of May 6, 1690. However, he was not accepted as Deputy since he claimed residence in two jurisdictions (Warwick and Mashantatuck; the Assembly declared the election illegal, ruling that BURLINGHAM resided in Mashantatuck (Proceedings of the General Assembly May 16, 1690). At a Town Meeting of Elections on June 6, 1698 Roger BURLINGAME was chosen as one of seven members of the Town Council.
Roger BURLINGAME and his family were of the Quaker faith. For many years up until 1711, the “Friends” held their meetings in his mansion house (May Day Souvenir of May 2, 1882, The Oak Lawn Baptist Church of Providence).
[JOHN LIPPITT, born England in 1597, died Warwick, 1667 and MARTHA (MARY?) his wife, settled in Salem, Mass. In September, 1635, Roger WILLIAMS and others were banished from Salem because of their religious views. In 1636 WILLIAMS and four companions built their homes in the wilderness on land he purchased from the Indians. In 1638 there were two divisions of this land and John LIPPITT’s name was sixth on a list of fifty-two persons who then held homelots in Providence Plantations. On May 2, 1640 John LIPPITT signed a compact containing proposals for a form of government under the first charter. In 1647 he represented Providence Plantations as it met with other towns for the purpose of forming a government. He removed to Warwick, becoming a recorded landowner in 1648, the year he was elected a member of the Warwick Town Council. Children: Nathaniel; John married Ann GREEN or GROVE; Mary; Moses married Mary KNOWLES; Joseph; Rebecca married Joseph HOWARD (Children’s names from Genealogy of R.I. Families from the NEHGR. Baltimore: GPC, 1989. Vol. I:661)].
[page 2]
Roger BURLINGAME’s will, dated Nov. 28, 1715 and proved Sept. 13, 1718, named his wife Mary [who had predeceased him], daughters Mercy, Alice, sons Roger, Peter, Thomas, John, as well as several grandchildren and two sons-in-law. All children were to share equally, the moveable estate being valued at 199 pounds: 13: 8. Son Roger received fifty acres, and John, Thomas, and Roger received 20s. each.
Glen ALLEN, (hereafter GA), stated that Roger’s father was George Thomas BURLINGAME from Darwich, Kent, England. He wrote that Roger̓s first wife was Mary (_____) with whom he had one son, Roger, Jr., born in England. He then married in Rhode Island in October, 1663 Widow Mary BARLINGSTON with whom he had four children. In 1672 he married Mary LIPPETT with whom he had five children. ALLEN also indicated that Mary LIPPETT was the daughter of John and Mary LIPPETT and an older sister of Martha LIPPETT who married Roger BURLINGAME’s son, Thomas.

CLARK BURLINGAME, son of Ephriam and Julia STETSON (?) BURLINGAME, born West Greenwich, R.I. Oct. 17, 1757, died Door Village, LaPorte, Indiana Jan. 13, 1843; married Fairfield, Franklin Co., Vermont Dec. 6. 1777 PATIENCE SOPER, born Fairfield Nov. 7, 1757, died Utica, N.Y. July 24, 1829, believed to be the daughter of Dr. Joel and Rachel (HILLS) SOPER (Glen ALLEN).
Clark BURLINGAME served in the Vermont Militia in Captain Jonas GALUSHA’s Company, Colonel HERRICK’s Regiment for eight days service in the alarm of October, 1780. The company marched 55 miles; he was paid 1:9:0 (Rolls of Soldiers in the Revolutionary War, 1775-1783, op. cit., p. 247). A family legend from his grandson says he was a member of Colonel Sam HERRICK’s Regiment of thirty men who attacked Skenesboro during the battle of Ft. Ticonderoga in May, 1775. No record of this reported service has been found (Glen ALLEN̓s notes). **Check rolls for GALUSHA’s and HERRICK’s hometowns**
In 1790 Clark and family were residents of Smithfield, Chittenden Co., Vt. The household consisted of two males over 16, two males under 16, and seven females (U.S. Census 1790). He was one of the first Justices of the Peace in Fletcher, Chittenden County, Vermont and in 1798 he was Justice in Fairfield. He was deeded land in “Fairfield, formerly called Smithfield”, County of Chittenden on October 19, 1793 and again on Sept. 6, 1794 (Fairfield, Franklin County Land Records 2:163 and 2:164). [Obviously Fairfield County on the Canadian border was formed from the northern part of Chittenden County]. The family’s removal from this area is signaled by land deeds executed in 1798 and 1799. Clark BURLINGAME sold 100 acres in 1797, additional land also in 1797 and 150 acres on March 3, 1798 (Fairfield, Franklin Co. Land Records 3:150, 4:70, and 3:171). Two deeds executed in 1798 and 1799 describe him as a resident of Tinmouth, Rutland Co, Vt. On Dec. 29, 1798 Clark BURLINGAME of Tinmouth signed at Tinmouth a deed transferring title of land in Smithfield
[page 5]
Franklin Co. and on March 6, 1799 he returned to Fairfield where he signed a deed, neither of which were co-signed by his wife (Fairfield Land Records 4:71 and 4:110).
The following year three families of BURLINGAMEs, Clark, Ephriam, and Wanton, were residing in Queensbury, Washington County, N.Y. (1800 New York Census, Washington Co. Clark BURLINGIM, p. 210; Ephriam BURLINGIM, p. 202; Wonton BURLINGIM, p. 201). *Check Composition of each household*
By 1805 Clark and family were residing in Attica, then part of Genessee Co., New York. He is named as being among those immigrants – a carpenter by trade – who came to Attica Town in 1805, locating up Crow Creek near the center of town. (F.W. Beers, History of Wyoming Co., N.Y. New York: F.W. Beers, 1880, p. 126-7). A deed for land purchased from the Holland Land Co. (Town 10, Range 2) was recorded in 1805. **Source – probably Karen Livsey. Western NY Land Transactions. Baltimore: GPC, 1996. Check*
In 1810 the family was found in Sheldon, Genessee County. **Census composition** Patience is believed to have died in 1829 in Augusta or Utica, Oneida Co., N.Y. where her parents and son, Clark, lived. In 1830 Clark, Sr. was living next door to sons Spencer and Abel in Putnam Co., Indiana. **Census** In 1840 he was in Milwaukee with his son Spencer. **Census** He was living in Door Township, LaPorte Co., Indiana when he died and was buried in Kingston Cemetery of that county in 1843. (Margaret Waters. Rev. Soldiers Buried in Indiana (1942). Baltimore: GPC, 1967 and Glen ALLEN notes).
Children of Clark and Patience (SOPER?) BURLINGAME, all born Fairfield, Franklin Co., Vt. with exception of Spencer:
1. Amey Sept. 6, 1778
2. EUNICE LORRAINE, born Jan. 14, 1781, died probably Gerry, Chautauqua Co., N.Y., Jan. 5, 1857; married probably Queensbury, Washington Co., N.Y., Jan. 24, 1802 ICHABOD MAITOCKS, born Litchfield, Conn.

Their son James MATTOCKS married Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ RUGG, their daughter Cornelia Adele MNITOCKS and her husband Clark Benjamin ELY were the parents of Lilly Victoria (ELY) LITTLE.
(Glen ALLEN’s grandmother claimed the Eunice-Ichabod wedding took place at Utica, New York. No record of this marriage except a bible record of the date has been found (Notes of Glen ALLEN). The BURLINGAME and MATTOCKS families were near neighbors in the 1800 Queensbury, N.Y. census (Census, Washington Co., pages 209-10).

[RELIGIOUS HISTORY]
[…] the second camp-meeting was a grand success. The Spirit was graciously poured out, and one-hundred and twenty-five professed faith in Christ. It should be remarked that many of the Presbyterians were deeply interested for the success of this meeting. Rev. Dr. DODD himself became so enlisted in it that he employed Dr. LINDLEY to conduct a sacramental meeting for him at Braddock’, now the Presbyterian Church, near Grayville, in Greene County, while he went with his family and camped at Millikin’s. His faith was rewarded, for MORGAN says, “Several of his children, as well as we remember, were hopefully converted during the meeting.”
The time now came for the return of the older missionaries to their homes in the South. The two younger men, MORGAN and BRYAN, who were still single, had intended to labor here for a few months only, and then cross the mountains, spend some time in New England, and then return to the South. But after much hesitation they at length yielded to the entreaties of the people, and concluded to make their homes in Pennsylvania. But before MORGAN could settle here he had to return to his father’s, in Alabama, to arrange some business. And it did seem for a time that BRYAN would be left alone in this State during the coming winter. What must have been his joy when he heard of the coming of his friend and fellow-presbyter, Rev. Milton BIRD, then in the full vigor of youthful manhood. As an evangelist, a pastor, an editor of church papers, and a teacher of probationers for the ministry, no one did more in establishing and confirming the churches in Pennsylvania than Mr. BIRD. He was long pastor of the Pleasant Hill congregation, on Lower Ten-Mile, in this county. In regard to his coming to this State, his esteemed widow, still living near Princeton, Ky., has sent me the following extract from his journal: “The Green River Synod was induced to pass an order fo rthe organization of Pennsylvania Presbytery. Pursuant to the appointment of Synod I proceeded to Pennsylvania, going from Elkton, Ky., to Paris, Ky., where I took the stage for Maysville; thence I took passage on the steamer `William Parsons’ for Wheeling; and thence by stage to Washington, Pa., where I arrived on the morning of November 7th, 1831.”
Mr. MORGAN returned to his father’s, in Alabama, early in November, 1831. I have recently received from his daughter, Mrs. BROWN, of Nashville, Tenn., a letter written by him to his father a few days before he started on this journey, and dated “Washington, Pa., Oct. 28, 1831.” In this letter he says, in regard to the meetings in Pennsylvania, “We have had one of the most powerful and glorious revivals of religion I have ever seen. About six hundred have professed religion since the last of July, and many more are now inquiring what they must do to be saved.” This private letter shows beyond all doubt that the missionaries had not labored in vain in the Lord. Among the converts at their meetings in the summer and autumn of 1831 might be mentioned a number who became ministers of the gospel, as Rev. E.K. SQUIER, D.D., Rev. W.E. POST, Rev. Messrs. John and Isaac Newton CARY, Rev. Messrs. Philip and Luther AXTELL, Rev. Stephen WINGET, and also many distinguished citizens of this county, as Elias DAY, long a ruling elder of the Concord Church […]
[…] The new Presbytery thus formed was practically without boundaries. The churches formed in Ohio were for several years included in it. The number both of churches and ministers rapidly increased. At an early period Lee Roy WOODS, S.M. SPARKS, Isaac SHOCK, A.T. REESE, Felix G. BLACK, and other Cumberland Presbyterian ministers came from the South […]
[415]
[…] It is a common saying that most of the people at Concord [in Morris township] answer to the name of DAY, and the majority at Windy Gap to the name of SPROWLS […]
The Bethel congregation seven miles south of Washington, near Van Buren, was organized by Rev. John MORGAN, May 30, 1832. It was composed in part of Presbyterians from the Upper Ten-Mile congregation. Five of its members, namely, Ephraim COOPER, Sylvanus COOPER, Thomas AXTELL, John WOLFE, and Samuel DAY, having been elders in the Presbyterian Church, were re-elected to that office at Bethel, and Samuel WEIR, Isaac CONDIT, and Archibald McCRACKEN were added to their number. This is at the present writing the largest and most flourishing Cumberland Presbyterian congregation in the county. Early in the year 1833 the Pleasant Hill congregation, on Lower Ten-Mile near Clarkton, was organized and Joseph EVANS, Abner CLARK, and Abel MILLIKIN were made elders […]
[…] At the present writing, Rev. J. Reed MORRIS is pastor at Windy Gap, Rev. Azel FREEMAN, D.D., at Concord, Rev. P.H. CRIDER at Bethel, Rev. Luther AXTELL at Pleasant Hill, Rev. I.N. CARY at Greenfield and Millsboro’, and James S. KEENER, a licentiate, is ministering to the Fairview congregation.
Finally, the writer hereby acknowledges his great obligation to Rev. Philip AXTELL, of East Pittsburgh, who has long had charge of the minutes of Pennsylvania Presbytery and Synod, and whose statistics of the churches, published in the “semi-centennial,” […]

Andrew McCRACKEN, a brother of David, remained in Ireland until 1792, when he emigrated to America and came directly to this county, and lived with his brother two years before he made a purchase of land. On the 12th of April, 1794, he bought sixty-three acres of land of Jacob HOUSONG, and on the 10th of May, 1806, forty-one acres of William McCLENAHAN. This land was part of a tract warranted to Luke BROWN on the 28th of August, 1792, and in the survey was named “Desart.” BROWN sold to HOUSONG on the 16th of October the same year. On this land Mr. McCRACKEN passed the remainder of his days. He died in 1837 while on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. John FINACLE, then living in Athens County, Ohio. He left two sons, — John and Archibald. John emigrated to Ohio, and later to Iowa, where he died. Archibald married Lusany, the daughter of Luther AXTELL, Sr., and settled on the homestead where he was born and still resides at eighty-three years of age. M.L.A. McCRACKEN, an attorney in Washington, is a son. The daughters of Andrew McCRACKEN all married and emigrated to Ohio.
Maj. Daniel AXTELL was an original purchaser of land of the proprietors of East and West Jersey, to which they obtained title in 1682. About the year 1740 he purchased a tract of two thousand acres, now in the township of Bedminster, Somerset Co., N.J. Within the succeeding ten years his death occurred, and the land came into possession of his son William, by whom part of it was sold in 1750 and part in 1760. Of his family three sons came to this county about 1780, and settled in Ten-Mile Creek. But like most of the settlers of that day they did not secure titles till several years later. At what time the warrant was secured and survey made of a tract of four hundred and four acres called “Green Mount” is not known; the patent was secured July 7, 1797. On the 6th of October, 1799, one hundred acres was sold to James TUCKER, and on the 10th of February, 1801, one hundred and thirty-seven acres to Jonas CONDUIT. Mr. CONDUIT lived there many years, and was appointed justice of the peace in 1813. These sales of land were made from the “Green Mount” tract.
A tract called “Winter Green,” adjoining Caleb and Levi LINDLEY, Samuel CLUTTER, and others, had been warranted, surveyed, and patented to Ebenezer GOBLE, and part of it was purchased by Daniel AXTELL, April 7, 1794, and on the 12th February, 1798, Mr. AXTELL sold one hundred and ten acres to Daniel JOHNSTON. On the 28th of September, 1795, Daniel AXTELL was appointed attorney for the sale of a tract of land called “Pleasant Grove,” belonging to Samuel TUTTLE, of Morris County, N.J., and on the 21st of March, 1796, he sold two hundred and eighteen acres of it to Col. Daniel McFARLAND. In the tax-list of 1784 the name of Thomas AXTELL appears, but little is known of him or his descendants.
Caleb GOBLE had made application to the land-office for a tract of land lying on a small branch of Ten-Mile Creek, adjoining Samuel CRAIG, John HUGHE, and William BRYSON, which had been warranted and surveyed to him, and on the 5th of October, 1790, GOBLE conveyed to Luther AXTELL all his right, title, and interest in the tract, and on the 9th of July, 1797, he received a patent for it. On the 27th of April, 1804, he conveyed fifty acres of it to Abigail DICKINSON, and the same day one hundred and eight acres to Thomas WEIR. On the remainder of this tract Luther AXTELL resided till his death. He left four sons — Daniel, the eldest, died at the age of twenty-four years; Silas settled in Greene County; Philip and Luther became ministers of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The former is now in charge of the church of that denomination in East Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co., and the latter in charge of Pleasant Hill Church, East Bethlehem township, Washington County. Lusany, a daughter of Luther AXTELL, Sr., became the wife of Archibald McCRACKEN, who settled near the AXTELLs on the old McCRACKEN homestead.
Col. Daniel McFARLAND […] on the 21st of March, 1796, purchased two hundred and eighteen acres of Daniel AXTELL, attorney for Samuel TUTTLE, of Morris County, N.J., which was surveyed to TUTTLE as “Pleasant Grove.”

James TUCKER came from New Jersey to Amwell township about 1780. Beside his interests in this vicinity, he owned a one-eighth interest in the Old Spring Hill Iron Furnace, located in Spring Hill township, in Fayette County, where he spent a great portion of his time. In the year 1802 he sold this interest to Jesse EVANS. James TUCKER married Elizabeth BANE, and they had five children, — Isaac, Joseph, Thomas, James, and Nancy, the youngest, who married Henry BEBOUT and removed to Greene County, where she died. James TUCKER, Jr., was a miller by trade and never married; Joseph TUCKER emigrated to Ohio; and Isaac, who married Sarah MASON, lived and died on a portion of the old homestead. Thomas TUCKER had the remainder of the father’s farm, and his son Absalom now owns and occupies the whole of the original tract. Old Mrs. TUCKER survived her husband several years.

In September, 1870, Rev. J.C. HENCH commenced preaching to this people [Lower Ten-Mile congreagation]. He afterwards received and accepted a call to become the pastor of this church. He was installed on June 17, 1871. In the installation services, Rev. J.S. MARQUES presided and charged the pastor, and Rev. Henry WOODS preached the sermon and gave the charge to the people […]
In the sessional records of Lower Ten-Mile the following names appear of men who served as ruling elders, viz.: Demas LINDLEY, Jacob COOK, Joseph COE, and Daniel AXTELL, who were chosen at the organization of the church in 1781; William McFARLAND and Stephen COOK, ordained in 1784; Stephen SAUNDERS, Joseph LINDLEY, John CARMICHAEL, John SMILEY, and Abel McFARLAND, ordained in 1795 or 1796; Israel DILLE, Jonas CONDIT, Ziba CASTERLINE, and John HEADLEY, ordained in 1805. At the time of the separation the session of Lower Ten-Mile consisted of three members, viz.: William McFARLAND, Esq., John SMILEY, and Jonas CONDIT […] Mr. Samuel ANDREW was added to the session in 1824; and Messrs. Ephraim COOPER and Nathan AXTELL on Nov. 5, 1826 […]
[page 664]
[…] About the time of Mr. ANDREW’s removal, Mr. COOPER united with the Cumberland Presbyterians. This reduced the session again to two members, viz., Messrs. Jonas CONDIT and Nathan AXTELL. In the autumn of 1837 the congregation agreed to go into an election of six, and as a result Messrs. William PATTERSON, James McFARLAND, Luther AXTELL, John BUCKINGHAM, James BRADEN, and Thomas McFARLAND were chosen. They were all ordained and installed on Nov. 6, 1837, except Mr. Thomas McFARLAND, who retained the call until the next summer. His ordination occurred on July 22, 1838.
Mr. Jona CONDIT died on July 17, 1850, in the eighty-second year of his age and forty-fifth year of his service as ruling elder. None was more faithful or highly esteemed. His second wife was a daughter of Rev. Thaddeus DODD […] Mr. Nathan AXTELL died on May 23, 1852, in the seventy-ninth year of his age and twenty-sixth year of his service as ruling elder […] In 1858 this composition is changed by the congregation selecting three additional members, viz., Messrs. Thomas J. PATTERSON, Robert BOYD, and Daniel CONDIT, who were solemnly set apart on Sabbath, Sept. 12, 1858 […]
[…] Mr. Luther AXTELL died on Feb. 8, 1868, in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and thirty-first year of his service as a ruling elder. Mr. AXTELL was born in the State of New Jersey, and came with his father, when six years old, to Washington County […]
[…] Mr. McFARLAND was soon followed to his reward by his associate in office, Mr. James BRADEN, who died May 1, 1871, in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and thirty-fourth year of his office. On Dec. 30, 1872, Messrs. A.P. VANDYKE, Samuel BRADEN, and J.N. HORN were chosen. Mr. BRADEN removed to Jefferson, Pa., in the spring of 1877, where he is now serving as a ruling elder […]
The first house of worship was erected in the summer of 1785, on the premises of Mr. COOK. It was built of hewn logs. It was repaired considerably in 1809. In 1825 the congregation of Lower Ten-Mile built of brick a house of worship on the farm of Mr. Jonas CONDIT, about five miles northwest from Amity. It was long known as the “brick meeting-house” […]

Van Buren.— The land on which this hamlet is located was the early home of the GOBLEs. The old homestead and tavern stand (the latter kept many years by Daniel L. GOBLE) is now the property of Adam WEIR, whose father, Adam WEIR, purchased the property now Van Buren April 18, 1818, and opened a store, and became the postmaster at the office soon after established at that place. He was postmaster many years, and was succeeded by Stephen PIPE, who was succeeded by Adam WEIR, Jr., the present incumbent. A store was kept a short time previous to the purchase of Adam WEIR, Sr., near the GOBLE tavern by Sample SWEENY […]

Luster Earl Colley to Gregg Leon Mattocks, letter, 14 October 1997

October 14, 1997
Dear Gregg:
Oma sequestered all my birthday greeting mail that arrived before my birthday party. some way, your card got by her. So I got it directly.
My birthday was predated a little bit to Sunday, since everyone has more time on sunday. Aldine and I went over to Barbie’s house for my birthday party. Barbie made ham loaf and all the fixins that I like and my birthday cake was a black raspberry pie. Barbie knows what I like. When everyone was full of good food, they brought out a heap of mail from my descendants, that they had been saving. They demanded that I read it all out loud and pass around the pictures. I never had so much mail all at one time and had so many say such nice things about me. Fathers usually have to be dead to get so much favorable fan mail. It was so much fun I would like to be 80 again next year.
I have a new status symbol as a Family History Expert. I have been working as a substitute at the Mormon Library for several years. Just recently they gave me a promotion, and I am now a member of the regular staff. There was no pay raise. Everyone on the staff gets the same pay, nothing. But I feel well paid in fun and being able to associate with the nicest, smartest people in the whole world.
I have been working on several projects. One project is to gather data for an eventual history of Butler Township, St. Clair Township, MO. A lot of your ancestors came from that place. I doubt I will ever live so long as to write the book, but maybe you and your mother can take over where I leave off.
I have a working version of a program I wrote in “C” language that I hope will combine census records in a new useful way. I have entered a lot of data from the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census of Butler township in a raw data base. I hope to do the 1880 census for Butler Twp this winter. The new idea of my program is that it will combine a sorted version of the combined censuses so the people will be grouped together. That way, you will be able to see on a single screen how a person ages and how their situation changed as the decades pass. I also have entered a lot of WW1 draft data and a lot of marriage records for Butler Twp and other parts of St. Clair County.
I made photocopies of the original draft records for your great grandfather WEARS and your great grandfather COLLEY. I will enclose a photo-copy of the one for GGfather WEARS. Both Doris and I existed at that time as mere embryos, so I imagine the registration of prospective fathers for military service was something of a shock to the prospective mothers. Now as I take a closer look at the copy, I see that Doris had already been born. She was born in August and I wasn’t born until October.
Just a short time ago a correspondent sent me some new material about our SAYLOR family. The best way to explain this is to make an abbreviated Ahnentafel which I will extend a bit for later purpose:
1. Gregg MATTOCKS
2. Leon MATTOCKS
3. Carol Lee COLLEY
6. Earl COLLEY
12. James Alvin COLLEY
13. Vida MILLER
26. Walter MILLER

27. Catharine GILLEY b 2 May 1840 Washington Co. TN, d MO
52. William MILLER
54. Abraham (Absalom) GILLIS (GILLEY) married 12 Oct 1837 Washington Co. TN
55. Mary SAILOR (SAYLOR)
104. Henry MILLER
105. Hannah BISHOP b Chester District, SC ca1884; d Benton Co. MO after 1850
110. John SAYLOR b 1775 Lebanon Twp. Lancaster Co. PA; d TN; m 26 Dec 1797 Rockingham Co. TN
111. Betsy KYSOR
210. James BISHOP b PA; d Hopkins Co. KY
222. Henry KISOR (KYSOR)
420. Nicholas BISHOP b DE, d Chester District SC.
Items 111. and 222. I have long suspected were true, but the new data I received gives me much more confidence. The marriage of John SAYLOR and Betsy KYSOR is recorded in the book “Rockingham Co., VA Marriages 1778-1816” by Strickler. The book can be found in many Genealogical libraries. The new data I got goes back several generations and says the SAYLORs were Mennonites from Switzerland. I haven’t yet examined this story well enough to want to give it my blessing. I sent in a request to the Main Mormon Library in Salt Lake City for a film that I hope will add some detailed proof to the story.
While I was in the process of writing this letter the mail man delivered our mail. I received my copy of the quarterly Bulletin of the Chester District Genealogical Society. I have subscribed to it for many years and sometimes contribute material for them to print. In this issue is one thing of particular interest to us. I will enclose photo-copies of three pages. The interesting part is the inset on page 112, but I copied the preceding and following page to include some background.
Henry BISHOP was an older brother of our James BISHOP (James BISHOP is number 210 on the previous Ahnentafel). Henry BISHOP was a Captain in the Patriot army. The whole BISHOP family with all their Patriot neighbors formed a refugee train of ox carts and such to retreat from the British and Tory threat. They headed for Charlotte, NC where there was a stronger Patriot army for protection. The men with the refugee train went to attack the British at Hanging Rock to turn them away from attacking the refugee women and children. Henry BISHOP was wounded at the Hanging Rock battle. He was carried in the refugee train to Charlotte, where he died of his wounds. I have long searched for additional records about the battle and the refugee experience. The British burned houses and killed all the live-stock that the refugees could not carry along with them. I suppose most historians did not think the battle at Hanging Rock was very important, because not enough soldiers were killed there.
I often scan the data you sent me a long time ago, and think how much time you have invested. Since I live in the Northeast, I have been aware that our County Library may have some sources that have not been readily available to you. I hope to take advantage of that, but I never seem to stay on one subject very long. I keep getting diverted by peripheral quests.
I hope your mother can soon get her life back on track and have time to pursue our mutual interest in family history. She tells me that property values in the peninsula are so poor that she expects a difficult time in selling her house. We have the same surplus real estate situation here, and I would have a difficult time selling my house. I would really like to avoid the tribulations of being a home owner and move back to Columbia, MO. The Missouri Historical Society is there and the MO University Library. As an alumnus of the University and an ex-teacher, I would be eligible for using a lot of the School facilities.
Tell me about the computer you are now using. I still have my old 386 DX machine. For a long time I also had another machine on my desk based on a 286 mother board that I bought second hand for $29. But I could not run WINDOWS on that. I resisted WINDOWS long after most of my friends were using it, but almost all software now requires windows. When JUNO (no cost internet access) was offered it was the last straw. JUNO requires WINDOWS. Being too much of a tightwad to pay for “Intel inside”, I upgraded to a K5 processor made by AMD. It works great, and I don’t see how paying the price for a Pentium would have given me any better service. Other components are also gettig cheap, so I have 32 Meg of ROM, a slow PC disk reader, and a 2.5 Gig hard drive.
I really make good use of having two computers side by side. I do a lot of writing. I use the old 386 as if it were a dedicated word processor, and use the K5 machine to look up data as the subject of my writing demands. It is possible to switch windows on a single screen to get that result, but my system allows me to have two full screens visible at the same time.
I would be glad to hear of your adventures, but I know that like all of us, your time is fully engaged. If the next I hear from you is my 90th birthday card, I will understand. But I will be pleased to hear sooner.
With the affection I have for all my extensive clan,
Old grandfather
