TO THE HONORABLE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA
the petition of James BUCHANAN of the County of Bourbon humbly sheweth that your Petitoiner having acquired at a great expence the claim of one half the lower blue Licks on Licking Creek of a certain James PARBERRY of Henry County & hath lately had the same divided and conveyed by Deeds in Fee Simple which were acknowledged and recorded according to Law: Your Petitoners part of the said Tract or parcel of Land includes the only good place for a Ferry across said Creek on the road leading from the mouth of Limestone to Lexington & your Petitioner at the request of many of his Neighbours hath provided a Boat & hands at his own Expence & set over passengers in time of high water from many of whom he has neither received Fee nor reward therefore your Petitioner prays that a Ferry may be established on his Lands on the one side of Licking Creek to his Lands on the opposite Shore. Your Petitioner lately alarmed by an advertisement set up at the door of the Court House of this County by said PARBERRY declaring his Intentions of applying tot he next General Assembly for the establishment of a Ferry on what he calls his Lands on the said Creek running parallel with your Petitioner’s which Place your Honorable House may be assured is a rapid and entirely unfit for a Ferry & therefore he can derive very little advantage to himself but would do much Injury to your Peti-
[page 104]
tioner who hath for some Time lived with his Family on the Place much exposed to the Indians: your Petitioner in support of the above allegations hath obtained a certificate of Colo James GARRARD Survaeyor of the said County who run the dividing Line by Consent of the Parties which Line stands as the Boundary mentioned in the Deed To which Certificate your Petitioner hopes your Honorable House will give the highest credit he being no way interested. Your Petitioner begs Leave further to inform your Honorable House that the said PARBERRY had prior to the Sale of the one Half sold to your Petitioner disposed of his other Half of the said Claim unto William BUCHANAN at the same time giving sufficient writings for the Conveyance of the Same and receiving full value in Lands lying on Holstan’s river which obligations have since been assigned over and now become the claim of Mr. James FRENCH of the District of Kentuckey. And your petitioner for the better Information of your Honorable House hath inclosed a true copy of the Articles of agreement between William BUCHANAN and sd PARBERRY & your Petitioner humbly hopes that your Honorable House will take the same Into consideration & grant him the said Ferry & your Pettioner as in duty bound shall ever pray.
James BUCHANAN
This is to certify that being call’d on by Mr. James PARBERRY to Divide the Tract of Land that contains the lower Blue Licks and having run the Dividing Line through the two Licks, one on each side of Licking Creek and having View’d the situation of the Landings proper for a Ferry are of opinion that the lands of Mr James BUCHANAN is by far the most proper for a ferry By reason of a short Break of the Hills which forms a perfect Eddy and secure Landing when the Creek is past fording which runs rapidly over Mr. PARBERRYs Landing, and I do further certify that I am not Interested any way in the Establishment of the ferry at the Lick, only as a Citizen Given under my hand this 15th day of Sept 1787.

TO THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES
the Petition of Sundry Inhabitants of the County of Bourbon Humbly sheweth That in the year one thousand Seven Hundred and eighty eight there was an inspection of Tobacco established at the Junction of Hinkson & Stoner fork of Licking and that Stoners fork has been found by trial made as navigable
[page 146]
a very considerable Distance above the Junction and for as large Boats, as it is below; and as long in the year and that it makes its way throug the center of the County, through a fertile soil thickly Inhabited, abounding with a variety of Fish, and that it is the only stream by which the greater part of the County can be relieved from a Difficult Land carriage of many miles, in exporting of their produce, and that an attempt is made for obstructing the same by the Court of sd County granting an order for a mill without any restricktions whatever, when granting two others the one prior & the other posterior to the former, obliging the owners to keep a passage for boats forty feet by twelve; the validity of which will evidently appear by the certificates attending this Petition from the Clerk of the County; Now being convinced that the obstructing the navigation of sd River would be highly injurious, and contrary to the Interest of the County; and also that your Honourable House are fully possessed of the advantages from a water carriage. We therefore pray that your Honourable House will take the same into consideration and remove all obstructions that shall be made across Sd River; and establish the navigation of Licking Beginning at its Junction with the Ohio thence up to the mainfork, thence up the South fork, to the Junction of Hinkston & Stoner thence up Stoners fork to Bramblets Lick in such manner as in your wisdom you may think best and we your Petitioners shall ever pray

Descendants of Richard Corley

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.

THE ANCESTRY OF EUNICE BURLINGAME
WHO MARRIED ICHABOD MATTOCKS AND MIGRATED TO WESTERN NEW YORK
COMPILED BY ALFRED W. LITTLE
[…], SILVER SPRING, MD. 20910
AUGUST 25, 1997
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.
~~~1~~~
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).

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. Dec. 23, 1773, died Independence, Allegany Co., N.Y. Mar. 4, 1833, son of James and Sarah (PIERCE) MATTOCKS. 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).

We have heard through family of the ambassador to China. Then we found some info on the internet about him. Anson Burlingame b. 1820 in New Berlin, NY and died in Russia in 1870 He was US Minister to China in 1861.
Where does Anson fit into this genealogy? Who were his parents and who was he married to?
Thanks alot

The Virginia Revolutionary War Public Service Claims Court Booklets
An Introduction
The documents known as the court booklets in the Public Service Claims, Record Group 48, Virginia State Library and Archives, came into being following the Revolutionary War. At various times during the war the General Assembly of Virginia had required the citizens individually, or the county governments acting as local procurement agencies, to provide livestock, foodstuffs, arms, and other supplies for the use of the militia and for the Virginia and Continental armies. When the scene of action shifted to Virginia and the south during the second half of the war, military officers borrowed, bought, impressed, or sometimes simply took necessary supplies from the citizens. Many of the officers provided certificates, or receipts, for the articles they took so that the owners could seek reimbursement from the state government or from the Congress.

[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,” […]

[AMWELL TOWNSHIP]
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.”

[AMWELL TOWNSHIP]
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” […]

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
[Earl makes a mistake here. Catherine Gilley was the mother, not the wife of 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
