[HI24123] (Research):The reason you don't find Lawrence in Bucks County is because he was Disow ned for Disunity by the Quakers. I'm unsure what happened after this, bec ause up to this point,(1807), the family owned a lot of property in the Mi ddletown area. I have yet to find the Father's (David) will, or Lawrence 's will. After the "Disowning", the family seemed to go their separate way s. I think the Quaker way of life had kept everyone bound together. Jonathon was born June 26,1811 and was Lawrence & Naomi Brown's first bor n. I beleive he was named after Naomi's Dad, Jonathon Brown. Jonathon married Mary Neeld of Bucks County.

EDITORIALANA. VOL. XVI. No. 3. JULY, 1907.A CHAPTER OF CORRECTIONS.
R. W. MCFARLAND.
[History .is never free from imperfections. Particularly is this true of the collected and collated records and data of pioneer periods — the beginnings of history. This is most natural as the memoranda are furnished by different authorities who discern the events recorded from various points of view or who are not accurate in their method of statement. The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society endeavors to gather and preserve all that is worthy of preservation concerning the early history of our state. It therefore gladly welcome* criticism upon and corrections of the material which it puts forth. It of course goes without saying that the Society is not to be held responsible for the authenticity or accuracy of articles contributed by- various writers to the columns of the Society's publications. We therefore readily publish "corrections" when they come from persons deserving credence. One of the most learned and critical scholars of Ohio's early history is Professor R. W. McFarland, who was born near Urbana in 1825, and who still at the age of eighty-two, with eye un- dimmed and faculties unimpaired takes an enthusiastic and active interest in the events of "ye olden time." He knew and conversed with many of the prominent settlers of the Buckeye State. Probably no one living; has so much knowledge "at first hand" of the startings of our state history. Professor McFarland's memory retains it strength and clearness unabated and what he says has the stamp of original authority. The editor of this Quarterly has often during the past years been indebted to Mr. McFarland for much valuable assistance in the effort to obtain reliable data of pioneer times and also for much revision and correction of material published. The editorial desk retains safely pigeon-holed many letters from the professor touching upon articles appearing in the Quarterly. We have culled from them some of the "items" we believe deserve not only the light of day but permanent place in the literature of the Society. The purpose of their appearance and their value speak for themselves. While much of the matter herewith published was intended only for the personal benefit of the Editor of the Quarterly, we gladly give the readers of the Quarterly and thereby all students of Ohio history, the benefit of the statements. — Editor.]

Professor McFarland says:

NAME OF SANDUSKY TOWN.

The name "Sandusky" as applied to the town, was not generally known as the name for more than twenty-five years after 1816. It was called Portland. I lived in the western part of Champaign county when I was young; and as late as 1842 my father sent a wagon-load of flour to Portland. All the country round did likewise, as being the best market for flour — , and everybody said Portland. It was after 1842 that the name of Sandusky became general

On Wednesday oflast week, while the carpenters were engaged in roofing a n ew addition to the dwelling of J. M. McFarland, the scaffold gave way, pre cipitating Mr. McFarland and Mr. N. F. Gibbs to the ground, a distan ce of 16 or 18 feet. Mr .Gibbs fell upon a large rock used for a doorste p, and a bunch of shingles which he was handling when the scaffold gave w ay followed and struck him on the back, injuring him to such an extent as to confine h im to his bed for several days. Mr. McFarland alighted square on his fe et and was subjected to no inconvenience, save the sudden halt when he came in contact with mother earth.

On the 18th «b» «/b»last, a number of friends and relatives celebrated the fifty-fifth birthday of J. M. McFarland, of this immediate vicinity. The inclement weather prevented many from attending who otherwise would have been present; yet sufficient were present to make things agreeable. A number of presents from various parties were among the items of interest. A life size portrait of J. R. McFarland and wife, of Goshen, New York, was not the least feature of the occasion. Mr. McFarland is a native of this township and is one of nineteen children of the late Robert McFarland. He has spent almost his entire life within sight of Concord chapel. In 1848 he went to Cincinnati with a drove of hogs for Uncle Dick Baldwin, working for 37 ½ cents per day, board included. On their return a part of the boys concluded to come home on the canal as far as Piqua, while the others walked back, those coming on foot beating the others several hours.

[HI24335] (Research):October 18, 1902 The citizens of Tremont were sorrow stricken, Saturday morning when word w as received of the horrible accident which happened to Charles MAGGART a nd his three boys in the great conflagration of the TUCKER wood rim facto ry at Urbana. Charles MAGGART, father of the unfortunate boys, with his li ttle family lived in Tremont prior to moving to Westville, Ohio from whi ch place they moved to Urbana. Samuel MAGGART is the father of Charles, a nd Henry SEITZ is his father-in-law. Both families hastened to Urbana on r eceiving the news. As the touching story went the rounds among the citizen s, tongue nor pen could not describe the awful shock to the many acquainta nces of the family. The poor little 7 year old boy, whose body was consum ed by the flames, probably not enough of the remains can be found for buri al, was a remarkably bright child. Whoever met little Charley was his frie nd and he was possessed of a very pleasing disposition and loved by al l. At the very latest report it is learned that the mother is in very dang erous condition from grief, and no one knows what the result may be,.

[HI24337] (Research):October 25, 1902 The remains of little Karl MAGGART, who was consumed in flames at the wo od rim factory fire last Saturday morning at Urbana, were interred in Mt C alvary Cemetery Wednesday afternoon. The condition of Leroy, the boy who w as so badly burned, is very distressing, but friends have hopes of his rec overy. The grief stricken mother is recovering from the shock, although f or a while her condition was alarming. Charles MAGGART, the father, who w as so badly hurt, was able to attend the burial of little Karl. The frien ds of the family at Tremont and elsewhere are glad that citizens of Urba na are subscribing to the MAGGART relief fund. This is a worthy cause as t he family is in need of kind gifts of friends.

HISTORY OF CLARK COUNTY. Lafferty and Hendricks were the joint owners of the farm on Buck Creek, wh ere they lived, and which they afterward sold to Nathaniel Cartmell, fr om whom it received its present name "the old Cartmell farm."

There is an interval of a few years, during which no accession was ma de to this early settlement; but, from the year 1808 to 1812, and about th at time, the spirit of enterprise seemed to have prevailed in the older se ttlements, and a number of fearless men with their families joined the bra ve and hardy pioneers. The men who came at this time were Nathaneil Cartme ll, ..................

Nathaniel Cartmell settled on Buck Creek as before mentioned.

A few years later, about 1822, Nathaniel Cartmell added another to the num ber of grist-mills; this was situated further west upon the same strea m, to which place he afterward added a woolen-mill and distillery, These m ills evidently met a demand rendered pressing by the increasing produc ts as well as inhabitants.

[HI24454] (Research):From Larry Hurley 8/1/2004 lhurley918@earthlink.net There was several reasons for us moving to Indiana in the early 50's. The re was a colony move d from Ohio to Indiana. Among them was Rube and Will is Zirkle, two Gentis families mand a Rus t or two and a few others. Whene ver they caame back to Ohio they would report Indiana much su perior in fe rtility to Ohio whicxh created a western fever which never left them unt il they m oved. Another reason was a dozen boys coming on that needed a j ob of work at home. The home p lace in Ohio was only 60 acres and no oth er land joining it couol be bought, Then Uncle has t wo boys and he wan ts land for them. And, another thing in the fall of 1881 Jacob Apple ca me t o Indiana and bought 80 acres 1 mile north and 1 mile west of Swayze e. Then mother and fathe r said we will go to Indiana as soon as we can g et a farm there. I know in th spring of 188 2 I was to go for myself so Ja cob wanted me to drive the team through to Indiana. But Grandmo ther to ld me Indiana was a swamp, that there was no drainage, that water had to e vaporate, th at it was full of the third-day ague and in the fall fu ll of Typhoid fever, that I would go o ut there and get sick and spend a ll I had and would have to be brought back. I told her tha t I would b eg my living and walk back. On the 13th day of March 1882 I left for St. P arris. T he next day at 6 o'clock Will Apple and Dave Knull and I started for Indiana with Jakes tea m a nd my horse with a saddle aand bridle on it. On the 16th we wanted to g et to the Marion Pi ke at New Cumberland, but it was so dark and I was wal king ahead of the team picking out th e best place to drive. I slipp ed in a rut over boot top deep and got my feet wet. We got to W ill Appl es on the 17th in the afternoon. Jake and I was to look for a place for th em. They wa nted a 160 acre farm. We picked out three farms for them and w rote them. One place was NW Qua rter Sec. 16, Franklin Twp; another was 1 /2 NE Grand 1/2NW Quarter sec. Sims Twp; another wa s what was to become t he home place SE 120 SW of sec. 12, Sims Twp. They wrote back for the d es cription of the place and an estimate of the oak timber. On Sunday Dave Kn ull and I counte d it [the farm] as having over 25 trees that would measu re 3 feet and over at the stump; 25 t rees 2 feet and over and 30 tre es 18 inches or over. I sent this report back home and in a fe w days g ot an answer that they would be out to see the place as soon as they got t he corn pla nted. When they came, I took them in a 2 horse wagon to sever al places. They decided on the h ome place in sec. 13. They went back to O hio for the summer. Then Grandmother was very much d ispleased with what t hey had done and said that they would move out west and she would neve r see them again and s he had no way of traveling but with kit, the old gray mare and a carria g e. In September, Father and Oscar and Elmer came out with two loads of goo ds and to sow whea t and make some arrangements with Mrs. Mark to mo ve in September. When the wheat was sowed, t hey drove back to make the sa le to move. I went back to drive the milk cows for them. The sal e w as on Monday. We were going to start for Indiana on Wednesday but so ma ny people came in t o help us off that we did not get started that da y. On Thursday morning it was the same. The house was full but mother sa id if they got started , Cyrus and I would take the 6 head of cows a nd we were to go 1 mile or so and 1/2 mile eas t of St. Parris and wait f or the wagons. We got there ahead of them. They came in about an ho ur. Th ere we ate our first lunch at the Apple schoolhouse. We started again a nd drove west o f Picqua for the first night. Saturday we at sundown w as 2 mile NW of New Cumberland and th e hash box was empty. It was filled at Union City las t. We could not get anything at New Cumb erland so we decided to dri ve to Jonesboro, Indiana for more hash and stay overnight. We go t to 3 Jo nesboro at 6:30 all hungry and tired. Daddy and others went in a sto re to get food fo r supper and breakfast. Anna hollered and called at t he top of her voice. The old hound was t ied under Oscar's wagon and he be llowed and made everything attractive for the loafing popula tion which tu rned out in force to see what was taking place and to ask all kinds of que stion s imaginary as to who we were and where we were going and ready to g ive all kinds of advice . One man told us to go 1 mile N and 1/2 mi le W on the Kokomo Road and stay overnight as th e stock was about worn ou t. We went to the schoolhouse as he said. There we let everything re st wh ile we ate lunch. Then we decided to go home 10 more miles. Cyrus was a ll in so he got o n the wagon. That left me with the cattle. The wagon dro ve on and was soon out of sight. Th e cattle were foot worn and tired whi ch made them hard to get along. The wagon got home at 1: 00. I drove the c attle W to Roseburg Road, then N to Roseburg, then W home. When I got 1 /2 mi le W, I was all in as I had to heel every cow or they would lay do wn for me. When I got to th e woods I decided we would take an hours res t. That was 1:30 but I forgot and went to sleep s etting in a fence corne r. When I woke up daylight was peeping over the eastern horizon. I soo n h ad the cows on the move again. I did not get home again intil 7:30. I a te my breakfast, sh aved, cleaned up, ready for the night, then I laid down for a rest. But, they did not call m e and I overslept again, never w aked until after dark. I had an appointment with a girl at Sw ayzee. All I could do was go to sleep aga in and forget it and square myself wilth her for nex t Saturday evening. From a letter written by Jesse Foltz on August 26, 1931 to a niece, Ali ce Foltz Patterson [Em met Foltz daughter].

Am ong the pioneers of Champaign Co., the gentleman whose name heads this ske tch deserves mention in this work. He was born April 18, 1810. His parent s, Sampson and Margaret (Brown) Kelley, came to Jackson Township, Champai gn Co., from Virginia, about 1806. According to the best information we c an get, they have the honor of being the parents of the first white male c hild born in Jackson Township. Sampson was a weaver by trade; he entered e ighty acres of land, and set to work to subdue the forest and secure a com fortable home. During the fall and winter seasons he worked at his trad e. Mrs. Margaret Kelley departed this life in 1814, and he in 1829, but h ad married for his second wife Mrs. Rebecca Pence (formerly Miss Rebecca D avis), by whom he had four children; one only survives at present. Eight c hildren were the issue of the first marriage. One died in infancy, one abo ut 45, and another upward of 50. Five are still living, the youngest bei ng past 69 years of age. At the age of 15. William commenced an apprentice ship at tanning, which trade he followed for about twenty-five years whe re he resides, in Addison. In 1847, he commenced harness-making, whi ch he followed till about twelve years ago ; he quit his trade and boug ht a farm, and has since lived rather retired. He has served his townsh ip as Trustee four years, and has been Postmaster for about eleven year s. His marriage with Nancy Strain was celebrated Aug. 11, 1831. For almo st half a century this union has lasted, and has been blessed with elev en children; eight survived their infancy and grew to maturity, viz. : Edw in, Semantha A., Margaret E., Angeline, Isabel, Louise and Emma (both dece ased), and Oliver H.

[HI24532] (Research):Record Book 16, Page 460 - Filed 22 April 1840 - Bill of Interpleader Jo hn West, Administrator of Sampson Kelley Vs Jacob Baker et al SampsonKelly married Rebecca Pence, widow of Lieutenant Pence of the la te war. By an act of Congress, 1 June 1813, the widow became entitl ed to a portionof Jacob Pence's pay which was collected by one Henry Nort hup, one half pay for five years service. The judgement against Northu p, $713.43, was obtained by Kelley in his lifetime. An agreement (mark ed "A" with the suit), dated between the heirs of Sampson Kelly, dat ed 31 October 1831, stated that Rebecca would receive the widow's portio n, Sampson Kelly's heirs were to receive $10 each, except Sarah Jane & Reb ecca Ann Kelly who would receive two equal 1/9 parts each, and the balan ce was to be paid to Ruth Pence, heir of said widow. After the payments w ere made West settled the probate of Kelly, but since then a further s um of $422 has come to the estate. John West made a partial distributi on of the second amount according to the agreement, however, a problem h as arisen which he wants the court to settle. There is $388 of the $422 l eft for distribution. ' The portions that have been distributed were to-R ebecca Kelly, Ambrose & Nancy Grafton, children of Lewis Darnall ' Sarah J an; Kelly and Rebecca Ann Kelly. Sampson Kelly's legal heirs: Joseph Kell y;William Kelly; Robert Kelly; Ambrose Grafton & his wife, Elizabeth; Ezek iel Darnall & his wife, Mary; Abimelech Darnell & his wife, Nancy; Margar et Darnall, formerly Margaret Kelly who married Lewis Darnall, who died le aving the following children: Wesley Darnall, Joseph Darnall, Sampson Darn all, and William Darnall; Sarah Jane Kelly (minor) and Rebecca Ann Kelly ( minor). By the end of the case, Henry T. Kyle was appointed guardian ad l item for only Rebecca Ann Kelly. "The only child and heir of said widow P ence, by her first husband, Lieutenant Pence, is their child Ruth Pence me ntioned in said contract marked A and now the wife of Jacob Baker." Conten ts of an answer filed 12 October 1840 by Jacob and Ruth Baker: Jacob Penc e, father of Ruth was believed killed at the Battle of Brownstown in the s ervice of the United States in August 1813 and Rebecca married Kelly cir ca I September 1818. Ruth had received $244.25 for "half pay," but she w as not sure that she had received the total amount that she should. The o ther defendants neglected to plead or answer.

Elizabeth's estate is recorded in Champaign Co. Minute Book 19, Pa ge 312, 1846. By his marriage, William had acquired interest (child's portion) in the land of Jose ph Sipe. On 7 August 1845 he petition the courts to settle the esta te of Joseph Sipe in William Davis vs Christian Sipe & others; which ca se was settled on 3 April 1846 (Chancery Book 20, Pages 292-296 ). On 4 April 1846 he again petitioned to sell the land and use the m oney to purchase .. wild land" (area not located) in William Dav is vs Frances Elmira Davis & Others; which case was settled on 16 Nov ember 1846 after the sale of the land. For $1,000 he purchased the so uth half of the north-east quarter of Section 1, Township 3, Ran ge 11 (Jackson Tp.), 80 acres; from Noah and Catharine (Sipe) Kite (C atharine's portion) (Book S, Page 227). Then he purchased from Andr ew Davis and Frances (Sipe) Davis, (Frances' widow's portion) for $3 00 interest in the north-east quarter of Section 1, Township 3, Ran ge 11 on 28 July 1846. (Book T, Page 153). In Record Book T, Pages 1 52 and 153 we f ind that William B. Davis and his wife Elizabeth Ja ne (who had been dead since 1842, t@erefore, he must have sold in h er behalf) sold 80 acres of the south quarter of the north-east quart er for $1,000; one-third of the north-east quarter for $300 and the n orth half of the north-east quarter for $300 of Section 1, Townsh ip 3, Range 11 (Joseph's Sipe's land in Jackson Tp.) to Benoni Barne s. On the same day he sold to Benoni Barnes his children's intere st in half of the north-east quarter of Section 1 (Book T, Page 15 4) - all dated 16 September 1846. After this time, 1846, Willi am is no longer found in Champaign County records.Surely, he took t he widow's dower interest to Frances Sipe Davis in Grundy Co. MO, b ut where did he settle to purchase "wild land"? According to the wi ll of Andrew Davis Senior, William Davis was to receive the homeplac e, or at least the house. A deed was not located whereas William disp osed of this land. However, the deed index indicates that William Dav is and "Jane Eliz." his wife, did convey 2 acres located in the we st half of SW1-4, Section 4, Township 3, Range 11 (Jackson Townshi p) to John Fitzpatrick (Deed Book T, Page 447). This last deed nee ds to be checked to determine if the index lists the correct locatio n. William B. Davis and Francis Davis, his daughter, are the peop le who are listed in Champaign @ounty Deed Book X, Page 73, where by William received $93 dollars from James and Francis Hendrick. Will iam may well be the "William V. Davis of Wayne County, Indiana" w ho purchased the west half of the SE-4, Section 20, Township 3, Ran ge 11 (Jackson Tp.) from John Springer of Fayette County, Indiana (Ch ampaign Co.

Beers Champaign Co, History Harrison Twp pg473 EARLIEST SETTLEMENTS. In or about the year 1803, a solitary young man, accompanied only (we beli eve by the faithful horse he was riding, left the State of Virginia, pure ly through a spirit of adventure, and, crossing the waters of the Ohio, en tered the Buckeye State. His saddle-bags were filled with white seed cor n, which was dropped, on the (blazed) wayside as he rode along. To h im is attributed the introduction of white seed corn into the Western soi l, and the name of Fuson corn has become a household word in every Weste rn State of the Union. Fuson came to Champaign County in 1804, and entered a part of Sectio n. 24 in this township in 1808. History records him as the first white m an who settled in Harrison Township. He was elected Trustee at the first T ownship election, and was continued in that office for a number of year s. He was a zealous worker, an enterprising citizen and a kind neighbo r. Of the children (we could not learn the date of marriage or maiden na me of wife), the following are living Lucinda married John Terrel, and resides in Missouri; William resides in C alifornia; James resides in Iowa; John is a resident of Indiana; Jeremi ah has taken up his abode in Missouri. Hannah married Alexander Pitman ; a fter his death she married Ebenezer Pitman, whom she survives also ; s he is living in this township. Artie married Burke, living in the West; Ce lia (now Mrs. ---- Speece) resides in the West. Fuson's wife died while he was yet in the vigor of manhood. He was unit ed in marriage, some time after the death of his wife, to Jane Johnso n. Of this marriage, the following children, yet living, were born .
Joel Fuson and his four brothers were pioneer preachers. Jeremia h, Samuel and james were in the Christian Church. William was a regular mi ssionary Baptist. Joel preached the tenents of Union Baptist, later call ed the Free-Willed Baptist. Little was found concerning Joel's work as a m inister other than he was regularly ordained and was an early pioneer pre acher. The Rev War Pension Records show that Joel Fuson, a Baptist Clergym an , testified as to his fathers credibility and standing on William Fuso n's application for Rev War pension in 1832.
Joel was supposedly buried on the John Russell Farm, a mile from We sley Chapel, one mile south and a half mile west of the location of Gla dy Creek Church. Glady Creek Church has long since disappeared. It sto od on the south-west corner of the intersection of the Wesley Chapel and S pring Hill Roads, now and open field. On a trip to this locality Sept 1 3, 1935, this author visited several cemeteries and private burial plot s, without locating Joel's grave, which is probably unmarked. David Fus on of DeGraff, Ohio, grandson of Isiah Fuson, and the oldest living Fus on in the locality is authority for the location of Joel's grave. (Dav id Fuson died June 12 1939).
Concerning Bethamia Bramble, Joel's Virginia bride, we learned littl e. Sometimes after her death in 1833, Joel married a second time, a daught er of a prominent Wayne township family, Jane Johnson by name. Jane Johns on Fuson's grandfather, William Johnson, was a native of Maryland, but ca me from Western Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1804, where his wife died in 18 17 and his death followed in 1820. William Johnson left four sons, Jaco b, Barnett, William and Otho. William owned 337 acres of land in Wayne tow nship on the present site of Mingo and he and his family were the first wh ite settlers on the north side of Mingo Valley in 1806. Jane Fuson's fath er was William's oldest son, Jacob Johnson, born July 27, 1766 in Marylan d, died in 1845 Champaign County, Ohio. He married in 1790 Martha Boggs Mc Farland, a widow in Virginia. Jane's grandfather Boggs was a native of Vir ginia, although her mother, Maretha, was born in Pennsylvania, Oct 20, 17 74 and died in Ohio 1854. Jacon and Martha Johnson had eight children: mar y, William, Lavina, Hiram, Belson B, Jane, Alfred,and an infant. Jacob bou ght 478 acres of land in Mingo Valley in 1804 or 5, at $2.50 to $4.00 p er acre. The Indians had farmed it the year before. From Beers histo ry of Champaign County I learned that jacob and his three sons later own ed 1900 acres, at one time valued at $120,000. The Johnson family burial g round was on the Mingo Valley Farm, but we did not learn where Jane was bu ried, nor the date of her death.
Joel Fuson's large family became widely scattered and not easily trac ed.

A sensational divorce case has been filed in the common pleas cour t. It is styled Benjamin F Deal vs Emma J Deal, grounds adultry. In his pe tition, Benjamin sets forth matters smewhat in this manner. They were marr ied in November 1891, and shortly thereafter a child was born to them. Bef ore the marriage, she was asked who the guilty person was, and she replie d, " If you were stung by a hive of bees, could you tell which one did it? ". Benjamin was finally picked out and the ceremony was solemnized. In jan uary 1892 he was taken to the penitentiary for forgery, and before his ti me had expired, another child was born to his wife. In this case he accus es her of adultry with William McAlexander, of Adams two. Shortly before t he birth of this last child, she becan proceedings against Benjamin Deal f or a divorce, but circumstances necessitated her dropping the case. Now Be njamin thinks it is time Emma is sent on her way rejoicing.
