Polk County
    [IOWA] 1903 History of Polk County
Date:    3/4/03 9:58:08 AM Eastern Standard Time
From:    Bare67deb@aol.com 
To:    IOWA-L@rootsweb.com 

    POLK COUNTY was established from the territory of the original county of Keokuk in January, 1846, and named for President James K. Polk.  When first created it embraced a part of Jasper and Dallas but in 1853 the boundaries were fixed as they now are.  It lies in the sixth tier east of the Missouri  River and in the fourth north of Missouri.  The Des Moines River flows through it from north to south and the Raccoon entering from the west unites with the Des Moines.
    An account of its earliest settlements and the establishment of Fort Des Moines will be found elsewhere.  Thomas Mitchell settled at Apple Grove in April, 1844, and in 1845 John Saylor located in a grove on the east side of the Des Moines River about six miles north of the fort.  In 1846 Eli Trullinger settled in Franklin township at a grove which bears his name.  Walker Corey and John Fisher with their families located in Elkhart township in 1846 near Corey's Grove; Riley Thornton settled in Delaware township, the same year, on Little Four Mile Creek and George Bebee located in Madison township.  James N. Stewart settled in Camp and James Smith in Douglass township in 1847.  Dr. T. K. Brooks, in 1845, bought a claim on the east side of the Des Moines River and was the first postmaster of Fort Des Moines.  A  town was laid out on the east side and named Brooklyn which aspired to become he county-seat but failing disappeared from the map.  James C. Jordon took a claim several miles west of the fort in 1846 on a creek which flows into the Raccoon River.
    The first election in the county was held April 2, 1846, at which the following officers were chosen; John Saylor, probate judge; W. T. Ayres, treasurer; Thomas Mitchell, sheriff; Thomas McMullen, recorder; Benjamin  Saylor, W. H. Meacham and E. W. Fouts, commissioners.  On the 25th of May of the same year the county-seat was established at Fort Des Moines and the first term of court was held that spring by Judge Joseph Williams, one of the log houses of the garrison serving as a court-house.
    The town of Fort Des Moines was platted by A. D. Jones, county surveyor, in July, 1846.  In July, 1849, Barlow Granger established the first newspaper in the county which was a weekly named the Iowa Star.  In 1847 Miss Davis opened a school in one of the government buildings, room No. 26.  The Capital of the State was located at Des Moines in 1857 and the first railroad, the Des  Moines Valley, reached the city on the 29th of August, 1866.  This road was built up the Des Moines valley from Keokuk.  The Rock Island Railroad reached  the Capital a year later.

1889

E. V. KOHL is one of the enterprising and successful men of Lincoln Township. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, August 29*, 1849, and is a son of William and Hannah (Fidderling**) Kohl. When our subject was six years of age the family removed to Jones County, Iowa. Here he grew to manhood. He was reared on a farm, and received his education in the public schools of the county. Mr. Kohl was united in marriage, March 13, 1879, to Miss Mary Schrope***, a native of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and a daughter of William and Susan (Shick) Schrope, natives of Pennsylvania. They resided in Jones County until 1880, when they came to Shelby County, and Mr. Kohl bought 160 acres of partially improved land. He now owns 240 acres of land, on which he has made many improvements. He has a comfortable dwelling, a good barn, a grove and an orchard, all bespeaking the thrift and wise management of the owner. Mr. and Mrs. Kohl are the parents of four children-William, Eva Essi!
e, Josie May and Morris Lewis. Mr. Kohl is a strong supporter of the Republican party. He is a member of the Evangelical church. Although he is yet a young man, he has won a good position in the community and is one of Lincoln Township's representative citizens. *born Aug. 27, 1849 ** Fitterling ***Shrope

I have just uploaded new records for NY City Almshouse for 1826 and 1827. This adds to the existing records on Olive Tree
Genealogy for 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824, 1855, 1856, 1857 and 1858. When this project is finished the records will
be complete from 1819-1844 and 1855-1858 In the early 1800's port cities in the USA bore the burden of immigration. By the time they arrived, so many immigrants were tired, hungry and poor they ended up in the City Almshouse.
    As far back as the colonial era, New York City assumed responsibility for its citizens who were destitute, sick, homeless, or otherwise unable to care for themselves. The city maintained an almshouse, various hospitals, and a workhouse on Blackwell's Island (now called Roosevelt Island) for the poor. 
    Part of the information taken Almshouse clerks was the place of birth of each person, the name of the ship they arrived on and
where the ship sailed from. Using this online (free) database will allow you to find individuals from many countries and many states within USA.
    There are 180 individuals listed in the 1826 Alms House  Registers, along with the following ships they sailed on:

Dear Fellow Genealogists,
       You are invited to a Heritage Day Rally at the Oklahoma State Capitol on Tuesday, March 11.  Sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical Society and a coalition of Oklahoma historical, genealogical and lineage organizations to show appreciation for our history and support for the preservation of  that history, the day will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the auditorium of the Wiley Post Building of the Oklahoma Historical Society at 2100 N. Lincoln, Oklahoma City.  After receiving details about the legislation needed, the attendees will proceed to the Capitol to speak with their legislators about the importance of completing the funding for the new Oklahoma History Center by authorizing the sale of the final $18 million in bonds needed to complete the project.
       Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the newly reopened Research Library and also to take a "hard hat" tour of the new History Center site.
The OHS parking lot will be reserved for your convenience and shuttle vans will be available to move you around once you are parked.  All  three venues -- lobbying at the Capitol, the Library tour and the hard hat tour -- will be available beginning at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. We hope you can join us at the rally and encourage you to invite others who believe in the future of Oklahoma and who have an interest in her past.  If you cannot be there, you can still support the effort by writing, calling or e-mailing your legislators to urge their support. For more information, please call the Oklahoma Historical Society at 405-521-2491.  We hope to see you there.  

Sincerely,
Oklahoma Genealogical Society Board of Directors

24 March 1617
An open Warrant. Whereas it hath pleased his Majesty out of his singular Clemency and mercy to take into his princely Consideration the wretched estate of diverse of his Subjects who by the Laws of the Realm are adjudged to die for the sundry offences though heinous in themselves, yet not of the highest nature, so as his Majesty both out of his gracious Clemency, as also for diverse weighty Considerations Could wish they might be rather Corrected than destroyed, and that in their punishments some of them might live, and yield a profitable Service to the Common wealth in parts abroad, where it  shall be found fit to employe them...
