The landed estate of Marcus Heylin was fractional In—L ot Number 1 in Urbana. On 19 June 1826 in Isaac Heylin vs Jane He ylin executor, Isaac was granted $1353 for damages because Jane h ad not distributed the estate in a timely manner, but the amou nt had not been paid by 24 March 1828.

[HI56039] (Research):Then there was the old Shyrigh drum Corps. They were a family of drumme rs known from coast to coast and they performed in almost every city of a ny size in the United States. They were in their prime just after the Civ il War and what wonderfiul music they used to dispense! The snare drumme rs were William and Levi. If these two drummers couldn’t make a snare dr um talk, then we don’t know what real martial music sounds like. Claren ce Shyrigh, son of Levi, usually played the bass drum, while Byrd Shyrig b, brother of Levi and William, played the fife. In after years as the ol der ones passed on, the sons of this family of famous drum­mers occasional ly assisted by some outsid­ers, carried on and are today fizrnishing mar­t ial music for different occasions. Billy Clifford Shyrigh finally became g ood enough to win a medal as champion drummer of the country and toured wi th Al C. Fields minstrels, putting on a snare drum specially act. Of la te years Billy Clifford, Dr. H. 0. Butcher, Clyde Shyrigh and Bert Covaul t, and occasionally Lou Hovey, have furnished martial music here. Did y ou know that Urbana’s Billy Clif­ford, known in those early days as Cli ff Shy­righ, was a bell boy for the famous old Weaver House? He was consid ered by eve­rybody as a bell boy second to none. Billy says he used to ma ke as many as twenty-five trips in an evening carrying ice water to a ro om where several of the old boys used to congregate in the evenings to ta lk over the topics of the day.

[HI56068] (Research):BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF CASS, SCHUYLER and BROWN COUNTIES, Illinois - 1892 Chicago: Biographical Review Publishing Co. Page 360 FIELDS E. DAVIS, who has been for many years identified with the leading f armers of Schuyler county, is a native of the State of Tennessee, bo rn in Greene county, in 1827, a son of Paul Davis; the paternal grandfath er was Fields Davis. Paul Davis was reared in Tennessee, and there marri ed Sarah Huff, a daughter of Elias Huff. In 1827, accompanied by his wi fe and child he emigrated to Illinois, and located in what is now Rushvil le township. He remained here a few months and went to Indiana, and liv ed near New Albany until 1837, and then returned to Schuyler county, and r ented land on which he passed the last days of his life. Elias Huff remov ed from Tennessee to Illinois in 1827, and settled in Schuyler county; aft er a few years he removed to McDonough county, Illinois, where he died. Mr s. Sarah H. Davis died in Hancock county, Illinois. Fields E. Davis w as an infant when his parents first penetrated the wilds of Schuyler count y, and was a lad of ten when they returned to the State. He received his e ducation in the pioneer schools, and has a vivid recollection of the punch eon floors, puncheon seats and puncheon desks, the finishings and furnishi ngs being of almost the same pattern. He remained under the parental ro of until he was seventeen years old, when he went to learn the cooper trad e; this he followed until 1846, when he enlisted in the Mexican war. He so on fell ill, and was discharged on account of disability; he was in Tex as at the time, but returned to his home, and resumed his former occupatio n. This he pursued until 1851, when he took a trip to the Territory of Min nesota, going via the river to St. Paul which was then a rather straggli ng village. He returned in the autumn of the same year, worked at his trad e, and in the spring of 1855, started for California. This long and wea ry journey was made across the plains with ox teams, when there were no se ttlements between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast, excepting t he military posts and the Mormons at Salt Lake. He started in March, and r eached the golden State in the following August. He first engaged in minin g, the all-absorbing occupation, and afterward followed farming. In 18 57 he returned to the East, coming via the Isthmus of Panama. He work ed at his trade for two years, and then purchased a farm consisting of 1 60 acres; this he has by industry and toil brought to a high state of cult ivation, and he has made many valuable improvements; he has erected goo d, substantial buildings, all conveniently arranged for farming purpose s. He is a thoroughly self-made man, and it is through his own efforts th at he has arisen to a position of financial independence.

Mr. Davis was united in marriage April 1, 1860, to Miss Lydia E. Smit h, a native of Schuyler county, Illinois, and a daughter of Jonathan and N ancy Smith, whose history appears elsewhere in this work. Eight children h ave been born of this union: Charles J., Mary, Virginia e., William, Marga ret, Samuel, Fanny and John. Mr. Davis is a consistent member of the Missi onary Baptist church, and is highly respected by the citizens of his count y.

[HI56116] (Research):Champaign Co, History by Beers 1881 THOMAS A. COWGILL, farmer; P. O. Kennard; was born on the farm where he n ow resides July 21, 1840, and is a son of Henry and Anna (Marmon) Cowgil l. He is a native of Ohio and she of North Carolina. The paternal grandfat her, Thomas, was a native of Virginia, and emigrated to the then Northwe st Territory and located in what is now Ohio about 1800. He became a resid ent of Champaign Co. in 1817. The maternal grandfather, Martin Marmon, bec ame an early settler of Logan Co., taking an active part in the organizati on of that county, and for many years in its civil administration. Henry C owgill followed agricultural pursuits during his life, and was among the m ost prominent and successful farmers of this county, acquiring a large amo unt of real estate and a good competency of this world's goods. He was n ot a man who sought or desired office, preferring a quiet farmer's life a nd the enjoyment of his home and family. He, however, served in some of t he minor offices of his neighborhood and township; was Township Treasur er some thirty-three years. He was the father of nine children-Angeline, E liza, Elects, Sarah, Samuel, Susan, Martha, Thomas A. and Cynthia. He di ed Sept. 12, 1869. His wife is still living with our subject on the old ho me place, aged 75 years, enjoying good health physically and mentally, a nd has been a continued resident here for fifty-four years. Our subject li ved with his father and engaged in agricultural pursuits until his manhoo d, enjoying merely the advantages of a common-school education. Under t he manual labor upon the farm, he grew up to maturity, physically and inte llectually strong, and possessing a natural strength of mind and great for ce and energy of character. Notwithstanding the limited advantages for acq uiring an education, he became a more than ordinarily accomplished gentlem an, and is really " a self-made man." In early manhood, the war period daw ned upon our country, and he, catching the martial spirit, enlisted with m any of his companions in the defense of his country, and was made Capta in of Co. E, 95th 0. V. I., with which he served in the Army of the Missis sippi, participating in many of the sanguinary encounters in which that co rps was engaged with the enemy. Being mustered out of the service upon t he restoration of peace, he returned to his home and the quiet pursui ts of his farm, engaging extensively in stock-raising, to which he has giv en his main attention to the present time. Mr. Cowgill has given some atte ntion to the study of law, but has never been admitted to the bar, his oth er employments being enough to render his life an active and busy on e. He has filled many minor offices of the township, and was elect ed as a Republican to the House of Representatives in 1875, serving with c redit to himself in the 62d General Assembly. He was Chairman of the Commi ttee on Agriculture. His acquaintance with the practical part of that scie nce rendered him the right man in the right place. He was re-elected to t he General Assembly in 1877, and again in 1879, being the first person ev er elected to represent the county for three consecutive terms. He was cho sen Speaker of the House of Representatives at the organization of the Gen eral Assembly Jan. 4, 1880, which position he now holds. Mr. Cowgill is po ssessed of a well-proportioned, manly frame, and has a commanding appearan ce; is a social gentleman, easy of approach, and possessing great ease a nd affableness of manner. He has formed; during his residence at the capit al, friendships that will endure for life.

THE SCOTCH IRISH- a Social History by James G. Leyburn. (As it pertains to the ancestry of James Callison, grandfather of John Cal lison) "The term Scotch Irish is an Americanism, generally unknown in Scotland a nd Ireland. In American usage, it refers to people of Scottish descent w ho having lived for a time in the north of Ireland, migrated in considerab le numbers to the American colonies in the eighteenth century. Another mis conception must be cleared away. Few ancestors of the Scotch Irish had any thing to do with Clans, tartans, bagpipes and other charming extravagances . A genealogical search for clan ancestors on the part of Scotch Irish is l ikely to prove discouraging, unless one's forbears were not in the main st ream of the migration to America. A few Highlanders drifted over into Nort hern Ireland. Their Gaelic language and sometimes their Catholicism made t hem more welcome to the Irish than the Lowland Scots but King James had sp ecifically excluded Highlanders from his design for the Plantation of Ulst er. Clans, tartans etc. derive almost entirely from the Highlands of Scotlan d, not from the Lowlands, whence came the Scots who went over to Ireland The lowest class of European Society four centuries ago were peasan ts -- and it was from this class of Scots whose descendants became Scot ch Irish. In European usage, peasant simply means a tiller of the soi The story begins in 1600 when King James, the Scottish Stuart king so on to become King of England as well, was about to make grants of la nd in northern Ireland to Scottish landlords. The recipients of these esta tes were to persuade tenants to migrate to the northern Irish province a nd take up farms. Those in Scotland who accepted the invitation became t he ancestors of all the Scotch-Irish in America. The Great Migration of these people to America began in 1717 and was touc hed off by drought, diminished trade in woolen goods, depression, religio us discrimination and "persecution". Letters from immigrants in the seco nd wave 1725-1729 spoke of rack-rents as the main cause for leaving. Landl ords were considered tyrants who by "screwing and racking" their tenant s, had reduced them to worse condition than peasants in France. Famine str uck Ireland in 1740 and was certainly the principal occasion for the thi rd large wave. An estimated 400,000 people died in Ireland in 1740-1741. T his third wave marked, on the American side, the first movement in any num bers beyond the confines of Pennsylvania into the rich Shenandoah Vall ey of Virginia. For the entire fifty-eight years of the Great Migration, (1717-1755) t he large majority of Scotch-Irish made their entry to America through Phil adelphia or Chester or New Castle. With these towns as their starting poi nt and the western frontier their destination, the immigrants, as they pou red in, found their path of progress almost laid out for them by geograph y. The Great Valley led westward for a hundred miles or more; then when hi gh mountains blocked further easy movement in that direction, the Valley t urned southwestward across the Potomac to become the Shenandoah Valley. Af ter getting their bearing in the cities, they were not likely to linger. T hey had come to be farmers, not artisans or hired workers. All were eag er to get to the frontier. Two counties in the Valley of Virginia, Augus ta and Rockbridge claim to be the most Scotch Irish counties in the prese nt day United States, their stock derived from Ulstermen who came down fro m, or at least through, Pennsylvania. Penn's province was full of small farmers from Northern Ireland and Germa ny within fifty years of its foundation, while Virginia for a century a nd a quarter after Jamestown was primarily a plantation colony. It's weste rn regions, especially the fertile lands of the Shenandoah Valley, were al most empty. The rulers of Virginia began to think of inviting immigrants i nto the back country and then primarily as a military safeguard. The ye ar 1730 was the effective date of the opening of the Valley of Virgini a. In 1736, Governor Gooch gave a grant to William Beverley for the MAN OR OF BEVERLY, lying in Orange County. The 'better' families took pai ns to have their lands surveyed and their purchases confirmed. Legal tit le was received at the rate of one English pound for forty acres. "

VIRGINIA NOTES (Written years ago by Dr. Archibald Hopkins, of Harrisonburg, Va., for h is son, Dr. William Davis Hopkins.) Before the Revolutionary War, the valley of Virginia was almost a wildern ess. From the time of the first settlements till 1734, it was all one coun ty, called Spotsylvania County. In 1734 Orange County was formed from t he western portion, including all of Virginia west of the Blue Ridge. It w as called Orange County because of the color of the soil. The act of the Assembly, constituting Augusta and Frederick Counties, w as passed November 1, 1738, but the business of the people of Augusta Coun ty was transacted at Orange Court House till December 1745, when the cou rt of Augusta was organized. In the meantime, all persons in the valley ha ving suits to prosecute, or any law business to transact, had to take t he long trip on horseback, through the gaps in the mountains, and by bridl e-paths to Orange, spending two or three days on the way. Moreover, as the re was no minister for the Established Church in the valley until 1747, a ll couples wishing to be married had to travel across the Blue Ridge to Or ange, or elsewhere, in search of a minister authorized by law to perform t he ceremony. Until October 1780, no minister, except of the Church of Engl and, had authority to celebrate marriage except by dispensation of the gov ernor. It was not until October 1784, that all ministers were put on an eq ual footing in respect to this matter. The first courthouse in Augusta Cou nty was, no doubt, like those on the frontier, a log cabin. A carpenter 's bench with half a dozen chairs upon it served as the judgment seat, a nd though the house was barely sufficient to contain the bench, bar, juror s, and constables, the occasion of the first court must have brought the w hole population to town. THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA 1763-1789 Ph.D. thesis by Freeman Honsfort Hart and published at University of Nor th Carolina in 1942. "'The Valley,' as the expression is understood by those who live in it, d enotes the tract of country in Virginia bounded on the east by the Blue Ri dge and on the west by a parallel ridge called, in most of its extent, t he North Mountain. The first settlers in this valley, with few exception s, were from the north of Ireland. They were the descendants of the Scotc h, who, for various reasons, had immigrated to this country, and had tak en with them the Kirk and the school. They were decided Presbyterians. "In passing from Staunton to Lexington along the road leading through Bro wnsburg, about twenty-two miles from Staunton, the traveler will noti ce a brick church a few hundred yards on his right, and near it a large gr aveyard. The house that is now occupied is the third in which the congrega tion of New Providence has worshipped. (My note: James and Isabell Callis on worshipped at New Providence Church) The first was a wooden structur e, and stood a short distance east of where the road to the church cross es the creek. The second was of stone, and occupied in part the ground th at is covered by the present building. This house was built either in 17 45 or 1746. At that time there was but one vehicle that moved on whee ls in the congregation, and it was a one-horse cart. The heavy timbers f or the roof and galleries were dragged to the place with one end resti ng on the axle of the cart and the other on the ground. The sand used in p lastering the house was carried in sacks on horseback about ten miles, a nd this was done chiefly by the girls of the congregation. The people of t hat period were not infrequently disturbed by alarms of Indians, and the w hole of a family would go to church on a Sabbath because they dared not le ave any at home. The father and sons carried their weapons with them, prep ared to defend their lives, and a large number of armed men were frequent ly seen at the church. The soil in the valley is primarily stiff, red-clay limestone formation t hat readily lends itself to grain and grass production.. Here in the Re v. era, farmers reaped fine crops of hemp, wheat, corn, flax, barley, oa ts and rye. Since pasturage was abundant, they pocketed easy profits fr om raising cattle, sheep, horses and hogs. The soil did not offer much pro mise for tobacco culture. The most acceptable estimate for the population in 1763 of the valley (Be rkley, Frederick, Dunmore, Rockingham, Augusta, Rockbridge and Botetour t) was 20,000 whites. The population density was 3 to a square mile. The re were six towns in the valley of 1763, Winchester, Mecklenburg, Staunto n, Stephenburg, Strasburg and Woodstock. Five of these had been establish ed in the 6 years before 1763 partly because of the theory that the "erect ing of towns" might aid the inhabitants in defending themselves against In dian raids. From the standpoint of a "money crop", hemp was the leading product ju st before the Revolution. The amount of hemp was remarkably large. In 176 7, 23 Augusta growers each raised between 1,000 and 8,800 pounds. One dia ry reports hemp 14 feet high and rivaled Russia in producing it for the En glish Navy. Hemp was priced at 30-50 shillings per hundredweight. In the decade 1763-1774 the county courts made provision for hundre ds of local roads. The roads were usually opened by the labor of titheab le persons who lived nearby and there was little expense involved since ro ad building meant little more than clearing trees and leveling rough place s. The "Great Road" as termed by some pioneers crossed the Potomac down to S taunton to Fincastle at the lower end of the Valley. There it had 3 fork s: the south to the Carolinas, the center to the SW meaning Ky. and Tenn ., and west to the trans Allegheny region by way of Greenbrier Valley. Less that 1/2 of the homes had kitchen utensils, only about 1/3 had be ds and only 1 family in six had table and chairs. (These estimations we re taken from records of estate sales). This did not signify destitution b ut merely the hardiness of these early pioneers. Meals were prepared Indi an fashion and the family slept on the floor or bunks nailed into corne rs and used logs for table and chairs. One of the most prized possessio ns was a "rifle gun". The average inventory in Botetourt was 151 pounds mo stly livestock and farm equipment.. Most of the houses were 1 story, bui lt of stone, well constructed but not large or imposing. Comfort, warmt h, and occasionally protection from Indians along with low cost and frugal ity were determining factors. There were a number of schools with teache rs pay about 18 pounds/year. Tuition was 2 shillings per month per child a nd the schools numbered 15-30 children One of the pioneer Presbyterian ministers of the Valley, John Brown to ok his avocation seriously of teaching the youth of his church so that bef ore 1763, he established Augusta Academy. BETHEL AND HER MINISTERS by Herbert S. Turner, DD Page 24: the first mention of North Mountain in the records of Hanover Pre sbytery shows that one member of the congregation had made an issue befo re presbytery. Samuel Davies Church August 10, 1756 " A petition from ye session of ye north Mountain congregation in August a, was presented to ye Presbytery, requesting that one of ye members m ay be sent thither to moderate in ye session in determining a difference b etween Mr. Brown and JAMES CALLISON. The minutes of Hanover Presbytery which follow show that Mr. Brown w as a "New Side" minister and pastor of new Providence Church and that he h ad refused to baptize one of Mr. Callison's children. Mr. Callison stood h is ground and Mr. Brown was summoned before Presbytery to defend his actio n. James Callison entered a general complaint against the Rev. Mr. Brown a nd the Presbytery desire him to draw up his complaint more explicitly in o rder that it may be judged of at our next and also that the evidence of Sa muel Downey, John Trimble and James Phillips, attend in person on the Pres bytery of send their evidence taken upon oath before a magistrate and th at Mr. Brown appear and make his defense. This same year 1758, the Syn od of Philadelphia and the Synod of New York were reunited and the whole i ssue was dropped." My note: It is possible that James and Isabell Callison are buried at th is church. NORTH MOUNTAIN MEETING HOUSE There was a gathering place for worship at North Mountain in the fa ll of 1740 and a year later they had built a meeting house. The Presbyte ry of Donegal ordered Mr. Craig in 1740 to supply North Mountain one Sabba th in two months and as many week days as he can. In 1745 they joined South Mountain in calling an Old Side minister, Re v. Samuel Black as settled pastor. He accepted and Donegal Presbytery inst alled him pastor of the two meeting houses for as yet they were only Chris tian Societies not yet set in order with ordained officers. But followi ng acceptance, other circumstances encountered after leaving presbytery ca used Mr. Black to change his mind. The New Side Presbytery of New Castle and Synod of NY saw at this ti me an open door of opportunity in Virginia. They sent in the fall of 17 45 Mr. William Robinson as their most suitable revivalist to reach the Vir ginia people. Then Rev John Blair who in 1746 organized North Mountain in to a New Side meeting house set in order under the care of New Castle Pres bytery. Mr. Craig continued to serve until his death in 1774 The old North Mountain meeting house was replaced by the building of t he Bethel Church in 1780’s. The French and Indian Wars greatly affected the inhabitants of the Gre at Valley. When Braddock was defeated it was a disaster for these fol ks as related below. "This, defeat, struck terror to every heart. A cold shuddering possess ed every breast and paleness covered almost every face. In short, the who le inhabitants were put into a universal confusion. Scarcely any man dur st sleep in his own house, but all met in companies with their wives and c hildren, and set about building little fortifications to defend themselv es from such barbarians and inhuman enemies, whom they concluded wou ld be let loose upon them at pleasure" William Foote, Sketches of North Ca rolina. The chaos that ensued on the Virginia Frontier is attested by many docume nts; none are more pungent with horror than the 13 page so called "Prest on Register," 1754-1758, A Register of the Persons who have been either Ki lled, Wounded or taken Prisoner by the enemy in Augusta County, as al so of such as have made their escape" Lyman C. Draper, Draper manuscripts Indians, allied with the victorious French unrestrained by any principl es of civilized warfare, ravaged the frontier, killing, scalping men, wom en and children indiscriminately. The atrocities came nearer and nearer t he Augusta Settlement of Beverley Manor. Colonel Patton having seen Capta in Preston Rangers through the initial organization stages in order to ha lt the stampede of settlers fleeing their homes on the frontier, set out s oon after the 21st of July, 1755, with a poorly guarded wagonload of ammun ition to supply this need of the south west Virginia frontier militia a nd settlers. Amid this confusion the people of Craig's congregations appealed to him f or advice on fleeing the frontier as other congregations were doin He branded fleeing as: " a scandal to our nation....a reproach among Virg inians, a dishonor to our friends at home, an evidence of cowardice, wa nt of faith and a noble Christian dependence on God, as able to save and d eliver from the heathen; it would be a lasting blot to our posterity." William Foote, Sketched of Virginia II 32-33 New Side and Old Side were terms used of the way people were to act in re vivals. Old Side wanted no emotions displayed at all, and New Side sa id a conversion of the heart should produce some noticeable effects. Th is caused many divisions among the various congregations in Virginia duri ng this time. The Revolution found most citizens of Augusta Co in favor. When the Bost on Tea Party reduced the people of Boston to want, Bancroft, the histori an says, When the sheaves had been harvested and the corn threshed and gro und in a country as yet poorly provided with barns or mills, the backwoods men of Augusta county, without any pass through the mountains that cou ld be called a road, noiselessly and modestly delivered at Frederick one h undred and thirty seven barrels of flour as their remittance to the po or of Boston’ Waddell, Annals of Augusta County Va p 218 (Waddell points out that an Aug usta Co youth helped to throw the tea overboard.)

HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. - 531 THOMAS COWGILL, physician; P. O. Kennard. Soon after the emigration of Wil liam Penn to America, Ralph, Isaac and Henry Cowgill, brothers, came fr om Wales, their native country, and settled near Philadelphia, Penn. Abo ut the same time, four brothers, named Antrim, emigrated from Ireland a nd settled near the same place. One of these Antrim brothers soon became d issatisfied with the new country and returned to Ireland, and, in cour se of time, received the title of Lord Antrim. He died in Ireland, leavi ng an estate worth over $30,000,000, which, according to history, remai ns to this day in the Bank of England waiting for orders from the rightf ul heirs. From these two sets of brothers descended the subject of this no tice. Thomas Cowgill, the father of our subject, was born in Frederick Co ., Va., July 27, 1777, and died in Champaign Co., Ohio, Sept, 14, 1846. H is wife was born in Stafford Co., Va., Sept. 16, 1780, and died in Champai gn Co., Ohio, June 18, 1868. They raised to maturity eleven children, name ly, Ann, Henry, Susannah, Daniel, Sarah, Thomas, Joseph, Levi, Lydia, Jo hn and Eli, of whom Ann, Henry, Susannah, Sarah, Joseph and Levi are decea sed. Mr. and Mrs. C. were members of the Society of Friends during their w hole life. The members of both families have generally been members of sa id society, or held to that faith since the settlement of their ancesto rs in America. The paternal grandmother of our subject was an eminent mini ster in the Society of Friends, and was related to Gen. George Washingto n. The Washington family frequently visited her at her home in Virginia, a bout one hundred years ago, claiming relationship with her. They also atte nded her meetings frequently. The parents of our subject were married in 1 799, in Virginia, and in 1801 became residents of the Northwest Territor y, locating in what is now Columbiana Co., Ohio. In the fall of 1817, th ey moved with their family to Champaign Co. Thomas, Jr., was then in his 6 th year, and has resided here ever since, a period of sixty-three year s. He spent several years in helping to clear the forest and make his fath er's farm, and has borne a full share of the hardships, trials and privati ons incident to settling a new country. Now, in his 69th year, he feels th at he has lived a long life. He has enjoyed good health and the confiden ce of his fellow-men. He has been Surveyor of his adopted county, and h as been a practicing physician for thirty-five years. His chief and best r ecommendation is that he has been a member of the Society of Friends duri ng his entire life, and has never wavered from the true doctrine of that c hurch. He recognizes the goodness of Divine Providence in directing his st eps.

Carmel Friends' Church.-The Carmel society took shape as early as 1825; t he present house was built in 1873, in the western border of the townshi p. Previous to this, the society occupied a meeting-house on the same sit e, and which was built in 1832. Still earlier the same people worship ed at what is now known as Ryan's, in Salem Township, nearly two miles fur ther north. The early preaching was generally held at the houses of Thom as Cowgill, Sr., W. H. Baldwin and John Robinson. These families, with tho se of John Miller, Henry Cowgill, Lydia Gray, Jesse Baldwin and others, co nstituted the membership in its earlier history. Eli Cowgill and Abrill a, his wife, since 1866, have from time to time ministered to this peopl e. Thomas Cowgill, Sr., was a native of Virginia; his wife, Sarah Antrim, w as of the same State. The were members of the Friends' Church. They ca me to Ohio and settled in Columbiana County in 1801. In 1817, they ca me to Champaign County and settled in the western part of Wayne Townshi p, near the Carmel meeting house. Mr. Cowgill was for many years a Trust ee of the township and sustained a high reputation for honesty. His fami ly consisted of seven sons and four daughters-Henry, Daniel, Thomas, Josep h, Levi, John and Eli ; the daughters were Ann, Susannah, Sarah and Lydi a. Of these only Daniel, Thomas, John and Eli survive. These sons and daug hters of this early pioneer became staid citizens of the country. They adh ered to the doctrine of the church in which they had a birthright. Thom as A. Cowgill, a grandson of this subject, served the county as Representa tive in the State Legislature repeatedly, and was made Speaker of the Hou se of Representatives of the Sixty-Fourth General Assembly.

The pioneer meeting at West Liberty, on Thursday last, was a grand success in every particular. The meeting convened in the town hall at the usual hour, and after reading a portion of scripture by Rev. Wm. Fitzgerald, prayer was offered by Hon. Luther Smith, assistant Chaplain of the association. The hall was filled, and excellent addresses were made by Rev. Samuel Alien, aged 82 years; Judge Wm. Patrick, aged 84 years; Hon. Jesse C. Phillips, aged 80 years; Daniel Cowgill, [the maker of Gen. Simon Kenton*s coffin forty-.three years since] aged 73 years; Hon. Luther Smith, aged 79 years, which, together with Mr. HaIler, the first speaker, whose age is 78 years, makes a total of four hundred and seventy.-six years, for the six speakers, or an average of more than seventy~nine years. A resolution tendering the thanks of the association to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor for their kindness and hospitality was passed by a unanimous vote. The meeting adjourned to meet on the 28thof August in their annual reunion, at Neal*s grove, near Concord Chapel.

[HI56556] (Research):KENTON RECOLLECTIONSDelaware, Ohio, Aug. 28, 1881

To the Editor: In looking through the Beers History of Champaign County, I was very mu ch surprised to find (on p. 823) the assertion that the coffin enclosing t he remains of that old pioneer and Indian fighter [Simon Kenton] was ma de by Lyman North, late of Salem Twp. Desirous of vindicating my own statements and veracity, as well as establi shing the truth in a matter more important, perhaps, to myself than to any one else, I submit the following personal reminiscence: I conducted a furniture manufacturing and undertaking business near Zanesf ield, Logan Co., for about 25 years, locating there in 1830. On Apr. 30, 1 836, with the assistance of John Kirkpatrick, who now lives in Bellefontai ne, then a journeyman cabinet maker in my employ, I made the coffin and at tended, as under-taker, the funeral of Simon Kenton. In addition to Mr. Kirkpatrick, I refer, in support of the statement, to t he following well— known citizens of Logan Co., who are cognizant of the ma terial facts herein stated: Judge Ezra Bennett, Abner Riddle, Michael Funk, Dr. Lord, Elder George Mcc ulloch, all of Bellefontaine; and Ccl. Joel Haines, of West Middlebur g, as well as to any of the old residents of Jefferson Twp. in the vicini ty of the place where the eventful life of the brave old pioneer terminate d.

I knew Simon Kenton well during the years of my early manhood, the place w here he lived the last few years of his life being but about three miles f rom where I resided more than 30 years. Although 45 years have elapsed, y et the incidents connected with the death and interment of the wonderful o ld pioneer are fresh in my memory, as I doubt not they are in the min ds of those whom I here cite as my witnesses.

I suggest that the Beers reference ("The coffin which enclosed the remai ns of Simon Kenton of pioneer fame was made by Mr. North") be erased by th ose who desire to preserve the truth of history for the coming generatio n. And I request that the newspapers of Champaign and Logan Counties co py this article, or its substance, in order that this matter of personal r eminiscence—— important only by reason of its connection with weightier mat ters— may be established while living witnesses remain to confirm it.

[HI56558] (Research):EARLY SCHOOLS - I By Thomas Cowgi! I propose to give a little history of our early schools in Champaign count y. Sixty-four years ago I attended school one-half day in company wi th my brother Daniel, six years older than 1. On that day my grandmother w as buried in the graveyard near "Elkrun" meeting house, in Columbiana coun ty, OH In the winter of 1817-18, my. brothers Henry and Daniel and two elder sist ers, attended a school in a log cabin school house, about ten rods nor th of the residence of my nephew Thomas A. Cowgill. This school was attend ed by at least a dozen young men and women filly six feet high and of prop ortionate size. The joists in the house were not six feet high, consequent ly those tall young men and women had to bow every time they walked acro ss the house or they would bump their heads badly. Perhaps two persons w ho attended that school are now living. Daniel Read, son of the late Ez ra Read and my brother Daniel who is living at Delaware, OH. This school w as taught by the late Judge Daniel Baldwin, father of Enos Baldwin, of We st Liberty. In the winter of 1818-19 1 attended school at the same place for a few da ys only. The first day I attended I became considerably alarmed during t he forenoon, all the scholars spelled and read aloud. It seemed all tri ed to see which could make the most noise. This school was taught by the l ate Judge Ed L. Morgan. He frequently called out in a loud voice "SILENCE ". I concluded he had forgotten my name and called me silence and as he ke pt a large hickory within his hand I feared that might come down on m e. As soon as school was dismissed at noon, I made tracks for home. Wh en I related the circumstance to my parents and sisters, they told me wh at the teacher meant by saying silence and assured me that he meant no ha rm towards me and that I might return to school in perfect safety. Next mo rning I went to school and the teacher seemed to be veay friendly to all h is scholars and I felt as if I was at home and was ever anxious to atte nd school during my schoolboy days. Of the scholars who attended this scho ol, I remember three, Ezekiel Thomas, son of the late Col. John Thomas, h is brother Volney Thomas living in West Liberty and my brother Daniel. In the winter of 1819-20 Judge Morgan again officiated. It was like oth er school houses of the time, the fire-place occupied the east end of t he house, the writing bench the north side, with a window about ten inch es wide extending nearly the full length of the house, with small uprig ht pieces at about eight inches apart to paste our papers to. We general ly used old newspapers, well greased with lard or bee tallow, pasted on ma de very comfortable light. When we could not obtain newspapers we used bro wn paper of any kind we could obtain.

[HI56561] (Research):LOST CHILD IN THE WOODS AND PRAIRIES IN 1821. A little daughter of Mr. Cowgill's, then about four years old, had be en in the habit of going with some of the family to the nearest neighbor' s, William H. Baldwin. She one afternoon assumed the responsibility of goi ng alone ; she went straight to the neighbor's, when Aunt Elizabeth soon s tarted her home, and went with her near to the crossing of the Urbana roa d, and watched her along the path until she thought the little girl wou ld surely get safe home. Somehow, she missed the way, and took down sou th along the Urbana road, which was then a mere pathway. Her track was se en in the road, but, as it happened, she was not seen by any one until aft er sundown. She had traveled partly along the Urbana, and along paths a nd through woods, barrens and prairies, and crossed King's Creek, whi ch is said to have been one-third larger fifty years ago, than at presen t. In the evening, after sundown, she was found along a cow-path, among t he plum and hazel bushes, near the present home of Matthew Stewart, Es q. A man named Lyman Olds then lived near Kingston ; his boys were out hun ting their cows, and met the little girl along the path ; they asked her w here she was going, she said "goin' home." The boys took her home with the m, their father talked with her, and she told him where she had been, to ld him her name, and answered every question directly and to the point. Ly man Olds made ready as soon as he could and took the little girl to the ho use of John McAdams, Esq. AS soon as it was ascertained that the child w as lost, almost the whole neighborhood turned out to search for her, a num ber of women were of the company. Near 11 o'clock at night, several men we re stopped about one-fourth mile south of where Kennard now is, consulti ng about the best mode of search, when some one said, "Listen, I hear a ca ll." We listened, and at the distance of about one mile we plainly hea rd a loud, clear call borne upon the quiet air of that calm, clear nig ht in August, Isaac McAdams said, That is mother's voice. I know the chi ld is found."The men then started on a run in the direction of the call. S oon after, tin horns sounded from several of the neighboring houses; it se emed to be a time of great and general rejoicing the child was found. Lym an Olds said the little girl talked to him incessantly on their journey th at night, told him what each member of the family were doing when she le ft home, the names of all the horses and cows on the farm. She arriv ed at home about midnight, to the great joy of her parents and the famil y, her mother being sick at the time. A company of Indians were camped a f ew days before on the east fork of King's Creek, near where Cable now stan ds. It was feared by some that the Indians had taken the child.

REUNION OF THE HUSTON FAMILY One of pioneers of Stony Creek neighborhood, some two or three miles north west from Springhills, was the late Paul Huston, who was born in county De ny, Ireland, July 1, 1785, and at the age of six years was brought to Amer ica, the family settling near Carlisle, Pa. In 1818 he was married to Ma ry Caruthers and removed to Preble county, Ohio, in 1821 and the followi ng year settled in Hamilton county. In ~i 828 the family came to the old h omestead above Springhills, where both the parents died some years sinc e. The older members of the family left home prior to the birth of the you nger children and not until November 26, 1885, was the entire family toget her. The family consisting of eleven children, seven sons and four daughte rs, came together on Thanksgiving day at the old homestead, which, togeth er with the descendants, numbered seventy, with some twenty-five friend s, including preachers, editors and reporters. The services consisted of t wo appropriate songs, when prayer was offered by Rev. T. N. Barkdull, aft er which the principal address was delivered by the oldest member of the f amily Ex-Representative James Huston, of Hamilton county. His remarks we re fill of feeling and when he closed but few eyes in the house were undim med with tears. Each of the children then followed with brief remarks aft er which Rev. Barkdull, Dan Spelhnan, Esq., T. S. McFarland and the venera ble John Nichols each were called out and spoke with much feeling. Pri or to dinner the family all stood up in a row when their names and ages we re taken, the ages aggregating six hundred and thirty-eight years. O ne of the Sons traveled a thousand miles in order to be present. James, An drew, Robert, Samuel, Harper, John and Thomas are all members of the churc h. Two of the four daughters are widows and all are far above the avera ge in common sense and sound intellect. They are a class of people who a re scrupulously honest and deserve the good will of all with whom they mee t. Joe Cretcher, the largest man in the crowd, came in for a full sha re of the fun as well as the dinner. This was the first, and will doubtle ss be the last time they will ever all meet together.

In his religi ous convictions Mr Ream was a staunch believer in the universal fatherho od of God, in the spiritual authority and leadership of His son Jesus Chri st, in the trustworthiness of the Bible, as containing a revelation from G od, in the certainity of just retribution for sin, and in the final harmo ny of all souls with God.
