OLD SETTLERS STORIES --This one by-- Edward Pedigo at age 89 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to set forth their travels and experiences in pioneer life, it seems proper for me to have something to say also, for my experience reaches farther back in this century than any others that have written before me of their pioneer life in the Palouse county. I will go away back to the place and time of my birth, at the foot of the Blue Ridge, in Patrick County, Virginia, April 15, 1805, for a starting point. But I am so forgetful I cannot remember whether the day of my birth was clear or cloudy. But I will try and write some of the ....(A line of type must have been omitted here). In September 1805, my father with all his children, set out on their long journey to the wilderness of Kentucky. We crossed the Alleghany mountains without an incident, but afterwards when camped near a farmhouse where there was a large flock of sheep, an old gentleman of the party was unhanrnessing the horses and while hanging up the harnesses, a buck ran up behind him and gave him such a dab that it knocked his totters from under him. when the old man arose from the ground, the buck had backed off to give him another bumper, but the old man dodged him and caught him by the wool, saying "You old rascal, I'll gouge your naternal old eyes out!" The old buck got such a gouging that he was willing to go off and mind his business. The next morning the old farmer came out through his flock of sheep to the immigrants' camp and, noticing how red and swollen his old buck's eyes were, said he wondered what was the matter with the old sheep's eyes, but the whole company was mum so they got off without any fuss. An incident worthy of note was when we were camped in the Cumberland mountains. A company of Indians kept up such a "hillabelloo" of laughter that some of the whites concluded to go and see what tickled them so. One of the Indians, afraid that some of the whites would steal his pony, tied the halter around his body and laid down to sleep. Toward day, after the fire had burned down, the pony blew his breath in the Indian's face, which scared him so bad that he jumped over the fire. That scared the pony and he jumped back and drew the Indian back through the fire. The other Indian's would point at him and laugh, but he looked very sullen. This much I have learned from my father. Well, we at length landed safe in Kentucky, and there I was brought up, and there I found my true-love, Miss Lettie Gill, one of Kentucky's best women, and the State was famed for good women, you know. We got married in the year 1826, and she proved to be a faithful helpmate to me , standing by my side through prosperity and adversity for over 50 years. In 1830 we bade farewell to friends and relatives and left Barren County with three children. bound for the rich prairies of Illinois. We got along very well with the help of a young man by the name of Cyrus Renick, until we got to Green County Ill., and there we met with a scare. Our wagon turned over with the family in it, and I saw the blood and brains of our baby washed out, as I thought, Oh, what a shock it was to me! But you can imagine what relief it gave me when I found out that there was no one seriously hurt. We had some sassafras tea for breakfast that morning and we had some of it left, which my wife poured into the coffee pot and set it in the wagon to have it with our dinner. It was the tea and sassafras bark that I thought was the blood and brains of our dear infant. I was so thankful I shed tears of joy. We the went on our way to Sangamon County, and there we took our abode for five years. After the Blackhawk war, (1831-32 between U.S. and the Sac & Fox Indians under Chief Blackhawk) we moved to what was then called the Blackhawk purchase, now Iowa. It became a territory, I think in the year 1838 and we lived there until after it became a state. I was in Iowa when it became a state, in Oregon when it became a state and in Washington when it became a state. In the year 1854 we started to the "promised land" in the far west, with all of our children but one. She and her husband had preceded us by two years. I said "promised land" because Uncle Sam had promised to give land to all that would migrate thither within a certain length of time. I will now go with a skip and a bound over the hills, prairies and mountains, inasmuch as my son-in-law, J.S. Fisher in his article, has given the time of our starting from Iowa in wagons with ox teams in April. We passed through the long and perilous journey without any deaths, and but little sickness. We left the last mountains behind us an landed at Phillip Foster's in the Willamette valley. Mr. Foster said the best thing we could do was to do into the fruit raising business, for Gen. McCarver of Oregon City sold his apples that fall for $12 per bushel, in the orchard. I took his advice and bought a claim in the timber eight miles from Oregon City and cleared off ten acres as soon as I could and planted it in an orchard. But nearly everyone else did the same thing, and when i got apples to sell the price had come down and in a short time they would scarcely pay for gathering and hauling to market. In 1871 I and two of my Sons-in-law, J.S. Fisher and S.P. Gilliland, moved up to the Palouse County. At that time there were only two counties in eastern Washington east of the Columbia River. They were Walla Walla on the south side of the Snake river and Stephans on the north. There was not a store or grist mill in Stephens County at that time, so we had to go to Walla Walla for our groceries and everything we stood in need of, even for our cats and chickens. When we got to where Colfax now stands, James Perkins, H.S. Hollingsworth and Mr. Reynolds were at work building a sawmill, there we stopped, looked around and took claims five miles above that place, where we found plenty of timber, water and bunchgrass. They came here to raise stock and here they found the place they wanted. That was rather a hard winter and their cattle and those of Nr. Chase would come home off the bunchgrass, kick up their heels and fall and rise no more, until there were but a few left. We built our cabins on the river side, broke ground and put in our crops, but in August it came a hard frost and killed all our gardens. Than I and Fisher became dissatisfied and moved six miles farther up, and a mile from the river, and settled in a small valley, which afterwards was called by Mr. Chase, Eden Valley. At that time there was not a trail of any kind to be seen, until we made them, and not a house between mine and the mountains. Well. I am spinning my yarn too long, so I will quit without saying anything about the crops, scarcity of money and hard times, for we all know something about that.

He was buried in the Old Petry Cemetery, Indian Ridge Road, Mercer, West Viginia. Quoted from D. L. Petry's Book, 'Petry, Pettry--' "His name first appears in the records in August, 1801, when we find him serving on a jury in Monroe County. In the 1815 Giles County tax list he is enumerated as being the owner of 2 horses and 3 cows. Clearly he was engaged in farming, although at the time of his second marriage in 1859, he gave "Carpenter" as his occupation. He was the ancestor of all the Mercer, Summers, and Braxton County Pettreys, also spelled Petry, Petrey, and Pettry. Some of his later descendants also moved into Raleigh, Boone, Kanawha, and Fayette Counties. Although he had 21 children, all by his first wife, the names of only 17 are known. The others probably died in infancy." James and Mary Lacy Petry are buried in the old Petry Cemetery, located on Secondary Rt. 18 and north on Lick Creek Road, near the Bill White home, in mercer County. It is hoped that at some time a more suitable monument can be placed on their graves. Born in Rockingham County, Virginia, died in 1865, Monroe Co.

James Pettry came across the mountains from Montgomery County in 1799 or 1800 along with his parents and younger brothers and sisters and settled down on Indian Ridge between Tom's Run and Lick Creek, now known as the old Wyrick Place. At that time it was located in Monroe County. It became Giles County in 1806, Mercer County in 1837, and finally in 1871 was organized as the Pipestem District of Summers County. His name first appears in the records in August, 1801, when we find him serving on a jury in Monroe County.

Born about 1790, Rockingham or Montgomery County, Virginia, d. between 1872 and 1880, probably Raleigh Co. He married Mary May, b. abt. 1801, d. 5 May 1872, Raleigh Co., daughter of William and Elizabeth May of Kanawha Co. John Petry lived at Shumate's Branch in Raleigh County and was a farmer. He apparently moved there from the Pipestem area in the 1820's along with his father. In the National Archives is a record of his being a member of a company of Riflemen of Virginia Militia commanded by Captain Andrew Johnston from the 86th Regiment in the County of Giles, War of 1812. This company was mustered into service February 17, 1815, at Giles County Court House, place of rendezvous, and , after having marched about 75 miles or thereabouts on the way to Norfolk and the same in returning, was discharged March 2, 1815, at Giles County Court House, having been 14 days in service. The War had officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on Dec. 14, 1814. Apparently this company was disbanded upon hearing the news of the ending of the War. For his services John Petry was paid the princely sum of three dollars and ninety-three cents. Parents: Martin PETRY and Elizabeth Ann RAINES. Martin PETRY was born on 19 Jan 1757 in Orange Co., Virginia.299 He died after 1838 in Packsville, West Virginia. He was buried in the Old Petry Cemetery, Indian Ridge Road, Mercer, West Viginia. The following is and excerpt from Kimberly S. Day, Peoria, Arizona: Martin Petry married Elizabeth Ann Raines of Rockingham County, Virginia. About 1792, they settled on Lick Creek, at now, Brown's Chapel, in the Pipestem area of Summers and Mercer Counties. They lived there for 8 to 10 years. About 1802, Martin built a one room log cabin on Little Marsh, at, what is now known as, Packsville, WV in now Raleigh County, near the over-flowing well (artesian well) and lived here part-time while, also, maintaining a home at Lick Creek. A few years after Martin had established his home site, Lemuel C. and Elizabeth (Farley) Jarrell, from the Monroe County area, settled 1 1/4 miles from the mouth of Little Marsh Fork, near the present Marfork over-flowing well. In about 1807, some of Martin's eight children resettled in the Marsh Fork and Clear Fork Districts of Raleigh County. Martin and Betsy lived here until his death some time after 1835, but before the 1840 census. They are buried on a small knoll behind where his cabin once stood. Martin and Betsys children are James, Sarah, Sally, John, St. Clair, Samuel, Jacob and Elizabeth. Served in the Revolutionary War and was at the taking of Cornwallis. Please verify all entries. Parents: Mathew PEATROSS and Jane. Spouse: Elizabeth Ann RAINES. Children were: James PETRY SR, Sarah PETRY, Sally PETRY, John PETRY, St. Clair PETRY, Samuel PETRY, Jacob PETRY, Elizabeth PETRY. Martin PETRY was born about 1811 in Island Creek, Giles, Virginia. He died about 1892. " Martin and Sarah apear to have moved to the Clear Fork of Coal river at an early age. On file in the National Archives are the pension payments as surviving dependents of their son, French Petry, who died in the civil war. Martin's last paper filed was in 1892 and from the description given in that affidavit of his physical frailties, it seems unlikely that he would have lived much longer. He was a farmer."
