| 3632 | Hill was dedicated to community service Kristine Goodrich Staff Writer Stan Hill was a board member for more than 20 nonprofit organizations and volunteered for dozens more. The longtime White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi resident was a successful businessman and committed family man, but he always found time to serve the community he loved. "He was such a giving and caring person," said Carol McFarlane, who worked with him on several committees. "He was instrumental in supporting a lot of people in need. It was such a privilege to know him." The long list of community organizations Hill served on includes the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, Century College Foundation, Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing, White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, Mahtomedi Educational Foundation and East Metro Women's Council. "He was concerned with making the community he lived in a better place for everyone," said Jan Becker, executive director of the Mahtomedi Educational Foundation. "He was genuinely the nicest, kindest person I ever met." Hill died Dec. 25 at age 91 from heart failure. He had been sick for a while, but held on until he was able to see everyone in his family one last time, said Doris Hill, his wife of more than 65 years. "Everyone came home for Christmas," Doris said. "After everyone got there, he knew it was OK to let go." Along with a successful career and his many volunteer efforts, his family was always his priority. "No matter how busy he was, he was always there for all of the children and in later years, all the grandchildren," said his son, George Hill. "He was a kind, respectful husband and always showed his love," Doris said. Hill graduated from White Bear High School in 1929. At age 14, he was the youngest in his class and was salutatorian. He was involved in dozens of school activities, including glee club, orchestra, debate and yearbook. "Even back then it was already obvious he was going places," McFarlane said. "He was always active." Hill was inducted in 1992 into the White Bear Lake Schools' Wall of Fame. He married Doris in 1938. They met at First Presbyterian Church, Doris said. He offered to drive her home after a young-people's meeting. Hill worked as an actuary at Minnesota Mutual before being drafted into the Army in 1941. Even after his time was up, he remained in the Reserve. He went back to work at Minnesota Mutual and was vice president when he retired in 1970. He then started up his own computer consulting business before officially retiring. "He became very successful but he never forgot where he came from," Becker said. "He always gave back to his community." "He was a self-made man who was very generous with his time, talents and treasures," said Philip Bruner, president of the Mahtomedi Educational Foundation. Hill had always volunteered, but after retiring, it became his life's work, his family said. "He always very active," George said, "but after he retired, he had another eight hours to devote to helping people." He helped dozens of organizations install their first computers and served as treasurer on numerous boards. "I will miss his sparkle, his good judgment and his fine example," Brunner said. "He truly set a standard of civic participation to which all citizens should aspire." Education was one of his most valued efforts, his family said. Stan and Doris sponsored several college scholarships, and along with the local school foundations, Stan was treasurer of the Minnesota Mathematics League for more than 50 years. He was treasurer of the Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation up until this spring. "He was on the top of his game, right up to end," Becker said. "Anything he touched, he did a phenomenal job. It has been my privilege to have known Stan and I consider him a dear friend. He will be greatly missed." He also was one of the historical society's earliest members and was treasurer for many years, said Executive Director Sara Markoe Hanson. Even after he stepped down as treasurer, he was still very active, Hanson said. "He still helped out on some special projects and came to all of our events," she said. "Stan was a person that when he set his mind to something, it was as good as done. He was so supportive. He really understood what we were doing and where we were trying to go." Hill's most recent effort was founding the North East Round Table. Now part of the Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing, the group works to create more affordable housing opportunities in the community. "He was constantly out there advocating for people in need," McFarlane said. "He didn't just talk it, he walked it." Retirement also afforded Hill time to pursue other hobbies. He wrote two books -- an autobiography titled "Confessions of an 80 Year Old Boy" and a novel titled "Almost Immortal." Hill also didn't let aging stop him from enjoying outdoor recreation. Stan and George competed together for more than 30 years in sailing races at the White Bear Yacht Club, taking home several trophies. At age 80, he could still be spotted windsurfing on White Bear Lake. At age 91, he was still biking more than 1,000 miles around town each summer. "He had this energy," Hanson said. "I only hope I have half of that when I get to be his age." Hill is survived by children, George (Diana) Hill, Janis (Loren) Knott, Mary (David) West, Beverly Dwyer, Richard (Satoko) Hill; grandchildren, Erin and Casey Dwyer, Enoch and John Hill, Karen West; brother, Jack (Catherine) Hill. Services are Jan. 13 at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, 900 Stillwater Rd. in Mahtomedi. Visitation starts at 1 p.m. and memorial service is at 3 p.m. Memorials preferred to Century College Foundation, White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, Mahtomedi Educational Foundation, or any other charity of the donor's choosing.

| 3659 | HISTORY OF MORROW COUNTY OHIO A Narrative Account of its Historical Progress Its People and its Principal Interests ay ji ba &Uh&Vn ASSISTED BY ROBERT F BART LETT ILLUSTRATED VOL I THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO NEW YORK 1911 In the township are the villages of South Woodbury and West Liberty. South Woodbury contains one church, three stores, two wagon and blacksmiths shops, two physicians, one school and a resident minister; also an Odd Fellows' hall. The town was laid out in 1830, by Daniel Wood. The first building, a log cabin, was erected by Joseph Horr. The first frame building was erected by Andrew Schofield, as a storeroom. The first hotel was erected by Shadrach Hubbell and Eli Johnson, during the year 1832-33. The first mail carried from Delaware to Woodbury on contract, was by Shadrach Hubbell, and in this the Hon. J. Randolph Hubbell acted in the capacity of post-boy. The first hotel was erected by Shadrach Hubbell and Eli Johnson, in 1832 and 1833. They were succeeded by Solomon Westbrook. The organization of the township of Lincoln in 1828, was mainly due to the efforts of Collins Buck, Steiner and Shadrack Hubbell, who had come to maturity, married, and settled down in a cabin on the site of Pearson's brick house. The first election was held on the first Monday in April, 1828, at Hubbell's cabin, and resulted in the election of Edmund Buck as Justice of the Peace, and each one of the voters to one or more offices, as there were but seventeen men to fill twenty-four positions. From The Delaware Gazette - May 27, 1886: In memoriam. Mrs. Rebecca Randolph Hubbell died at the home of her son-in-law Jackson Hipple, Esq., in the 87th year of her age. She was an early pioneer of Delaware Co., having immigrated to this county with her parents Mr. James and his wife Catharine FitzRandolph in the year 1818. The family settled on a farm in Peru Twp now in Morrow Co. The farm is still in the family, and is now owned and occupied by her grandson, Mr. Orville Westbrook. In the 23d year of her age she was married to Shadrack Hubbell, who died of small pox in the winter of 1851, at his home in Morrow Co. He had contracted the disease on a business trip to Chicago. By this marriage she had eight children, Bowen C., James R., Asa C., Hiram, Harriet, Catharine, Susan and Minerva, all of whom preceded her to the grave except James and Hiram, now a resident of Ross Co., and Mrs. Susan Hipple of this city with whom she had lived since the death of her daughter, Mrs. Westbrook in 1868. Her parents were of Quaker descent, but early in life and previous to her marriage she joined the Baptist Church. A Hubbell family history says he died of smallpox in 1847.

Eli is listed as head of house hold age 30-40. Children are 2 males under 5, one male 5-10, one female under 5, 2 age 5-10, one 10-15, and one female age 30-40. Some discrepancy exists on where Eli was born. Several censuses list his birth place as Ohio, where others list his birth place as Penn. Hubbell Johnson lists Eli’s birth place as Penn on Joseph Johnson’s death certificate. The census taker would have asked Eli where he was born. Ohio became a state on March 1, 1803. In 1801 Ohio was known as the Northwest Territory. The Ohio River defined the boundary between Pennsylvania and Ohio. Jefferson county Ohio is right on the northern border of Pennsylvania and Ohio and about 70-80 miles from New York. The Johnson family bible place Eli’s birth place as Pennsylvania. Early references place Eli in Morrow county Ohio in 1824. Delaware Ohio is about a day’s travel to the west of south Woodbury whereas Pennsylvania is to the east implying that Eli probably lived in south Woodbury and went to the closest church to get married. The logic here is that Ada was young and had other family in the area namely her brother Shadrach. She was probably living here when Eli showed up. Ada was probably born on the trip to Ohio as her father came from Connecticut and her birth place is listed as New York which is between Connecticut and Ohio. Ada’s brother Shadrach was also married in Delaware, Ohio in 1821, Ada probably had to wait to get married as in 1822 she would have been 16 or possibly Eli was not in Ohio yet? In 1832 and 1833 Eli was in south Woodbury Township. 1850 Eli is in Illinois. The 1800 and 1810 Ohio census was destroyed in the war of 1812. Only records for Washington country exist. A systematic search of all existing census records for Ohio and Pennsylvania produce several possibilities for Eli’s father and builds at least an argument that Eli was not born in Ohio. Time line for Eli Johnson: 1801, Born November 29 probably along the Ohio/Pennsylvania border 1822, Married Ada Hubbell in June, Delaware Ohio 1825-1837, Various children born 1830 Shadrack is born in Ohio (1850 CENSUS) 1832-3, Built the first Hotel in South Woodbury, Ohio 1835, Myra was born in Ohio (1850 CENSUS) 1839, Joseph Johnson born on August 27 in Victoria, Knox county ill. 1840, Census places Eli and Ada in Knox county Ill. 1844, Hubbell Johnson born on April 7 in Versailles, Ill. 1850, Census Places Eli and Ada in Knox county Ill. 1860, Census place Eli and Ada in Knox county Ill 1870, Census places Eli and Ada in Missouri 1880, Census places Eli in Emporia, Lyon, Kansas Several sources list Eli as dying in pilot grove, Ill Is this possible if he is in Kansas in 1880. Travel back to Ill would have been difficult especially for someone 80+ years old. Trains were invented but the more likely mode of travel would have been horse and wagon. Perhaps Eli is buried in Kansas? Eli’s body could have been shipped back to Ill, but that would have been expensive. The CK&N rail road went from Kansas to Chicago and was active during the decade of 1880-1890. Eli did spend 25 years in Knox County, Ill so perhaps he did have a burial plot there. Pilot grove is along the rail road line from Kansas to Chicago and is about 70miles south west of Knox County. The 1870 census and the 1880 census place Eli with his children in Missouri and Kansas respectively. Did Eli have family in Pilot grove? Joseph James and Hubbell are in Nebraska. Adaline and Shadrach “did their turn” so that leaves the two oldest daughters Myra or Eli jr. or William. Eli and William are the two easiest as we know there last names, however I come up empty. The remaining daughter probably married and took other surnames which are not known? The case for Pilot grove is not impossible but also not supported. Where is Ada buried? Pioneer cemeteries are replete with single family member who died en route to their destinations. Criteria for possible fathers of Eli are: 1 must have same last name 2 must be of reasonable age born before 1780 3 must have a son born in 1801 4 must be in the right location Ohio or Pa with emphasis on those closest to the border 5 secondary searches do not rule them out | JOHNSON Eli (I41540)

| 3660 | History of Ontario County, NY, Pub. 1878, Pg. 163 Joseph Brown GATES the chief subject of this sketch, was born in Hopewell, Ontario County, New York, April 28, 1802. At the present writing he is in his seventy-fifty year and resides on the farm where he was born, and where he has always resided, three and one-half miles east of Canandaigua, on the old turnpike road. His father, Daniel GATES, was one of the first settlers in Ontario County, having emigrated hither from Rutland county, Vermont, in the year 1789. Soon after his settlement in Gorham (now Hopewell), his wife died, leaving him a family of nine children. About the year 1793, he married Milcah BROWN, widow of Joseph BROWN, of Vermont. As the result of his second marriage, there were five children born to them, Esther, Cyrus, Moses S., Joseph B. and Fordys. All of this second family settled in the neighborhood of their birthplace, Joseph B., succeeding to the old homestead. On the 22nd of October, 1829, Joseph B., was married to Pamelia B. COOK. He lead a quiet, industrious farmer life through all the subsequent years of activity. Careful and prudent in all his business concerns, he gathered about his home the comforts and privileges well earned by toil, and gave his five children the benefits of a good academical education. He has ever borne both a character and reputation of unquestionable integrity. Preferring to suffer wrong rather than to do wrong, he never had a contested lawsuit, either as plaintiff or defendant. Being one of the most highly respected citizens of Ontario county, he has been many times urged to allow his name to be used in reference to places of public trust; but he studiously declined such proffered honors, and hence never was a candidate for any official position, and never held any office above school trustee. Always leading an exemplary, moral life, he for many years was a regular attendant and supporter of the Presbyterian church in Hopewell, and afterwards of the Wesleyan Methodist church at Hopewell Centre, to which his wife was joined. In September, 1869, after forty years of contented marriage, his companion in life was separated from him by death. His five children are living to respect and honor him in his advanced years. (see Pamelia Bishop COOK for sketch on Joseph's wife) (Under Settlement, pg 159) A worthy pioneer form the "Green Mountain State", was Daniel GATES, who with a family of four children, emigrated from Vermont in 1798, and located on lot 22. A venerable son, Mr. Joseph B. GATES, resides on the old homestead, where he was born April 28, 1802. He has five children living, viz: Elisha L. and Mary M., residing in the town; Daniel N., in Minnesota; J. Spencer, in Illinois, and John C., in Iowa. Daniel WARREN, Shubeal CLARK, and Daniel GATES Jr., were early settlers on this lot. | Ludden Milcah (I50738)

In 1739 or 1740 he became one of the early settlers of that town. The year 1744 broght an Indian war, with all its attending horrors, the settlers were obliged to seek safety and shelter in the forts. On the 11th of Oct 1745, as he was cutting wood a few rods from the fort, he was surprised by a band of Indians and taken captive before help could reach him. He was taken to Canada, where he was kept a prisoner in Quebec for a year and a half, when he died of prison fever 25 May 1747, just as he was about to be redeemed. His death was a severe blow to his family, and to the community where he was known, as one of his contemporaries wrote of him, "he was greatly beloved by all who knew him." ... (Recorded in ‘Howe Genealogies,’ by Daniel Wait Howe, p21) 14. NEHEMIAH3 HOWE (Samuel,2 John1), born in Sudbury, Mass., about 1693. After his father’s death, he took the estate, and paid off the other heirs. In 1717 when he was 24 years old, he sold the estate in Sudbury, and moved to Framingham. In 1727 he was a petitioner for the town of Graf ton, to which place he moved, and the second town meeting was held in his house 19 April 1728. He was one of the original members of the church 28 Dec. 1731, and was one of the Selectmen 1735, school committee 1736, and was that year paid £4, is, 8d. for keeping the school. He was Town Clerk 1736-7-8, assessor 1737, and school committee 1738-9. In the spring and early summer of 1739, he bought three full township rights in the new town called Great Meadows, N. H., the records of those deeds are found at Springfield, Mass. In 1739 or 1740 he became one of the early settlers of that town. The year 1744 brought an Indian war, with all its attending horrors, the settlers were obliged to seek safety and shelter in the forts. On the i ith of Oct. 1745, as he was cutting wood a few rods from the fort, he was surprised by a band of Indians and taken captive before help could reach him. He was taken jo Canada, where he was kept a prisoner in Quebec for a year and a half, when he died of prison fever 25 May 1747, just as he was about to be redeemed. His death was a severe blow to his family, and to the community where he was known, as one of his contemporaries wrote of him, “he was greatly beloved by all who knew him.” He was possessed of cultivation and refinement far beyond the ordinary. He kept a journal during his prison life which was of inestimable value, for the many items therein recorded of other captives whose fate otherwise would never have been known. It is also a pricless legacy to his descendants, showing as it does, the beautiful Christian character of one who could endure the severest hardships with a grace and dignity rarely to be found. He married MARGARET WILLARD, daughter of Capt. Benjamin and Sarah (Larkin) Willard, and granddaughter of Major Simon Willard, of Colonial fame. Capt. Benjamin Willard commanded a company in an expedition against the Indians. After his death, his widow married for her second husband, 26 Jan. Ensign James Miller of Hopkinton and Graf ton, and died 25 Jan. 1758. The following was taken from the diary of Rev. Ebenezer Parkman of Westboro, bearing date of 25 Jan. 1758. “We had ye sorrowing tidings of ye wife of Ensign James Miller. She was heretofore ye wife of Mr. Nehemiah How of Graf ton, who was carried away captive frem ye grt Meadows. Her maiden name was Willard, daughter of Captain Benjamin Willard, a woman of many virtues; her death is not only a great loss to me and mine, but to all 22 JOHN HOWE OF SUDBURY AND MARLBOROUGH ye place. May ye God of all Grace sanctifie it to me and mine to ye bereaved Ensign (who is under great sufferings by ye palsey) and to all ye Relatives and neighborhood.” | Howe Nehemiah (I52014)

| 3691 | Hugh - supported King Edward I in the war against his rival, the Earl of Lancaster. He served in the Welsh war but was fined 2,000 marks because he married, without the king's license, Isabel, daughter of William Beauchamp, earl of Warwick, the widow of Patrick of Chaworth. He accompanied Edward to Scotland and fought in the Battle of Dunbar (I) and the expediition against Flanders in 1297. The King used him to negotiate for peace between Edward I and the King of the Romans and the King of France. He served again in Scotland and then was sent to negociate with France which led to the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent to see Pope Clement V at Lyons and obtained a Papal bull which absolved King Edward from the oaths he had been forced to take to his people. When Edward II was coronated as King, Hugh carried part of the royal insignia. He defended the king's favorite, Gaveston, in 1308 against the league of barons, which alienated him from the barons who regarded him as a deserter from their cause. Then Isabel married William Blount about 1261 while living in Belton, Rutland, England. William was born about 1223, lived in Belton, Rutland, England. He was the son of Robert Blount and Isabel Odingsells. He died in 1316 while living in Timberlake, Worcestershire, England . | of WINCHESTER Hugh DESPENCER Earl (I20913)

| 3699 | I have the legal description 31 40N 13E, the original names of the Street, now I have the original owner's (Sayer and 5 other guys) purchased in 1838 for $1.25 per acre (www.glorecords.blm.gov), and I have facts about the area and who lived here. The problem is all the titls/deeds to properties were in the Chicago fire 1871 (prior to this date were burned). If I put in my pin number, this info only goes back to 1989. I did find that Sayre built a house on Grand and 70th. My house is located about 2 blocks form that location. Since Sayre was a farmer, I was thinking that he built my house for the farm help???? I have a victorian workmans cottage built in 1852. My search continues. Here is some info on your family: An Historical Perspective 1830 Prairie adjacent to Lake Michigan is platted for settlement by the United States government. The Township of Jefferson is established, consisting of thirty six square miles, within the boundaries of future streets North to Devon Avenue, and Western to Harlem Avenue. 1833 Town of Chicago established with a population of three hundred. 1837 Abram Gale (1796-1889) arrives in Chicago from New York state. He bought prairie, built a farm and residence near present day Mulligan and Bloomingdale, miles from the City limits. William Sayre also arrives from New York state, claiming land west of Gale’s, and marries Harriet Lovett in 1839. Theirs is the first settler’s marriage recorded in Jefferson Township. City of Chicago is incorporated. 1848 The railroads arrive, including the Chicago and Pacific running through Gale’s and Sayre’s land, at their request. 1870s Area has farms that grow hay, corn and oats. Grand Avenue, formerly Whiskey Point Road, and prior to that a Native American trail is the farmer’s connection with Chicago. 1873 Sayre Station is established, will be renamed Montclare in 1875. Montclare Post Office established with Thomas Rutherford as Postmaster, it is the only post office serving southwest Jefferson Township. A train stop is also established for the later Galewood subdivision. 1883 Western Brick and Tile plant (present day Brickyard Shopping Center) is built on land sitting seventy feet above Lake Michigan. One of the first industries in area, serving Galewood’s population of about one hundred twenty people. 1890 Jefferson Township annexed to City of Chicago, in anticipation of the 1893 World’s Fair. 1899 Westward Ho Golf Course, with eighteen holes, established on Gale’s land west of Narragansett Avenue. It became the Galewood Golf Club in 1922. 1912 Grand Avenue streetcar extension to Harlem Avenue encourages middle class residential development along with a booming commercial strip. Rutherford-Sayre Park established, field house constructed in 1916. 1920s The automobile leads to the growth of the bungalow belt in Chicago, our neighborhoods are on the western edge of this development. Wood framed houses are no longer allowed, replaced by the brick Chicago Bungalow, Tudor, Norman, Georgian and other blends of romantic styles. 1925 Amundsen Park, named for the Norwegian polar explorer, established by the Northwest Park District after petitioning by the North Austin Improvement Association. Field house not constructed until 1954 1926 Lovett and Locke Schools built in Gothic Revival/Collegiate style. Park Avenue. It has paved streets in place, ready for development. Bell Park, named for a Spanish American War Major General, established by the Northwest Park District after petitioning by the Montclare Boosters. Field house not constructed until 1954. 1928 Frank Mars moves his candy business to Galewood from Minneapolis after an invitation from the Gale family. Sayre school built in Neo-Gothic/Art Deco style. 1930s Vacant land west of Oak Park Avenue along North Avenue and south of Montclare is developed during the Great Depression. 2073 WILLIAM EDWIN,' b. in Blooming Grove, N. Y., Aug. 21, 1813; m. Harriet Lovett. He removed to Chicago, and was among the earliest settlers. He died Jan. 24, 1873. The Chicago " Tribune," of July 4, 1897, makes this reference to his widow : Mrs. Sayre of Mont Clare has lived at the site of her present home for sixtythree years. The ancient structure in which she took shelter and was guarded by friendly Indians during an Indian raid stands opposite her present handsome residence. Mrs. Sayre tells a story of the early '405, when surveyors first came to the neighborhood with compass and line prospecting a right of way for a railroad. She cooked dinner for the tired, mud-bespattered men, and wagered a goodly venture that no one present on that day would live to see a railroad laid in or about Chicago.

Biographical sketches—Sayre, Harriet Lovett Info from face book……….Len The first settlers in the area were the Lovetts. They built a cabin on what now is the SE corner of Fullerton & Long. Following them was William Sayre who built a home what now is the SW corner of Grand/Sayre (Hoyne Bank). Then he married Harriet (Lovett) Sayre. Thomas Rutherford built a home (which is still there) on the SE corner of Medill/Oak Park.

First attracted by a rolling landscape, William Sayre in 1836 laid claim “by right of possession” to 90 acres in what is now the Montclare Community Area. Unable to gain title to the land because of an inaccurate government survey, he bought the acreage at the Jefferson Township land sales in 1838. A year later he married Harriet Lovett, daughter of another area settler, in the first marriage of the township. They set up housekeeping in a newly built frame house in 1840. Sayre and his neighbors cleared fields of hay and tended main crops of oats and corn. Farmers used Grand Avenue as their main thoroughfare to the downtown markets in Chicago, where many hawked their produce from wagons at the Randolph Street Market. The return home was sometimes dangerous: along the dark, lonely road, farmers faced the threat of robbery or by the 1880s risked having their wagons hit by a train. In 1872 Sayre allowed the Chicago & Pacific Railroad Company right-of-way over his property, and Sayre Station was built on the farm. A year later another family farm in the area was platted by developers, who sold lots for $250 to $500. The town and the depot were named Montclare after Montclair, New Jersey. In 1873 the rail line failed and was taken over by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad (CM&SP). As a result, the only form of commuter transportation was a single daily train, reducing the desirability of the area. Lots remained vacant. Undaunted by a lack of new settlers, the some 120 residents went about their farming. Two schools were in evidence in 1884. Social activities focused on family, church, and Sunday School. Most residents were native-born, English, or German. Although Montclare was annexed by the city of Chicago in 1889, the first spurt of growth occurred in 1912, when the Grand Avenue streetcar line extended service to the area. The Sayre family contributed acreage for community use in 1916, which, along with another piece of donated property, later formed Rutherford-Sayre Park. The park was divided down the middle by the railroad tracks that marked the town's southern boundary. Settlement concentrated in the southeastern section near the depot, but was hampered until utilities and paved streets were added in the 1920s. Single-family structures, mainly standard bungalows, predominated in the area. Some residents found employment at light industrial plants along the CM&SP railroad lines that bounded Montclare on its eastern and southern edges; most workers crossed into neighboring communities where factories were more plentiful. Housing extended north of Diversey Avenue in the 1930s, a combination of bungalows, ranches, and Tudor houses. Hugging Chicago's western edge, Montclare retained an identity more suburban than urban. Pre– World War II commercial development was minimal; the only shopping was a retail strip at Grand and Harlem. In the 1960s the strip experienced decline and deterioration as stores left and newer shopping centers were built in nearby areas. But residential areas remained intact owing to good construction and property upkeep by conscientious residents. Population figures for 1970 showed 11,675, of which Poles, Italians, and Germans were the majority. These numbers decreased to 10,573 in the 1990 census, with Greeks, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Lebanese, and a growing number of Hispanics (11 percent) adding to the mix. In the late 1980s a few African Americans moved into the neighborhood, prompting racially motivated incidents that induced groups such as the Galewood-Montclare Community Organization to devote their efforts to reducing tensions. At the close of the twentieth century Montclare still had only 297 African American residents, but the Hispanic proportion stood at 38 percent.

The marvelous growth of Chicago deserves to be ranked with the seven wonders of the world. When that section which is today covered for mile after mile with attr attractive residences or substantial business blocks until the city is today the second in America was an uncultivated prairie of low, wet land, William E. Sayre made his way to Cook county and took up a claim of government land at what is now the southwest corner of Grand and Seventieth avenues. This was in November, 1836. It was not until the following year that the little section of business enterprises and homes that clustered around the mouth of the river was incorporated as a city. For more than a third of a century William E. Sayre lived to watch the marvelous growth of the town as its boundaries were extended to the north, to the south and to the west until today within its borders is found the longest street in any municipality of the world.Mr. Sayre was a native of Blooming Grove, Orange county, New York, born August £1, 1813. His father, John A. Sayre, a native of the same place, was a fanner by occupation and resided there until his death, which occurred in 1859. His wife bore the maiden name of Cleo Brewster and she, too, was born, lived and died at Blooming Grove. On the old homestead farm there the son William E. was reared. His birth occurred while the second war with England was in progress and he lived through the period of two more great wars of the country, the one with Mexico and that between the north and the south. His early experiences were such as usually come to farm boys, his time being divided between the sehoolroom and the fields. He continued to assist his father until twenty-three years of age and then sought the opportunities of the unsettled west. He made his way to Illinois in November, 1836, and with his partner, Amos Moore, took up a government claim of one hundred and sixty acres. There he built one of the first homes on that section which is now the southwest corner of Grand and Seventieth avenues. With characteristic energy he began to break the sod and till the soil and later he purchased his partner's interest and continued in business on this tract until it was subdivided in 1873. Much of this, including the old homestead, is still in possession of the family. With the growth of the city it has risen continuously in value until it now commands a high market price. Year after year Mr. Sayre with the return of spring took his place in the fields and cultivated the crops best adapted to soil and climate, and year after year he gathered his harvests which enabled him to provide a comfortable living for his family. His life was indeed a busy and useful one and at the old homestead he remained until death called him on the 24th of January, 1873. Mr. Sayre was always active in public affairs of his township—Jefferson—and from its organization held office. He was the first justice of the peace of the district, was supervisor for some time and was road commissioner twenty-seven years. His public duties were ever discharged in a most capable and faithful manner and he was ever loyal to the best interests of citizenship. During the Civil war he took a keen interest in the conflict, being an enthusiastic supporter of the Union, but age and ill health prevented his enlistment. He was always confident that Chicago would some day be a great city which would include his property and time proved the wisdom of his foresight for today the old home farm is within the limits of the western metropolis. On the 3d of January, 1839, occurred the marriage of William E. Sayre and Miss Harriet Lovett, who had become a resident of Cook county four years before. In 1835 her father, Joseph Lovett, brought his family to Chicago, reaching the little village, for such it was then, on the 4th of March. He made the journey from Bath, Steuben county, New York, traveling overland and bringing with him his wife, Mrs. Lydia (Crouch) Lovett, their five children and a son-in-law. He first took up a claim at Cragin, but about two years later arrived in the district that is now Chicago and took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres a mile east of the farm of William E. Sayre. There he spent his remaining days in agricultural pursuits until age and ill health forced him to put aside the arduous duties of life and on the 6th of September, 1851, at the age of sixty-two years, he passed away. He had for about five years survived his wife, who died in 1846. In their family were ten children but only one, Harriet, the fourth in order of birth, is now living. She was born December 13, 1819, in Tyrone, New Y'ork, and was a maiden of fifteen summers when she accompanied her parents on the removal to what was then the far west. Here she formed the acquaintance of William E. Sayre who sought her hand in marriage, and on the 3d of January, 1839, went as a bride to his home. They lived upon the western prairie when there was not a house between their home and the west bank of the Chicago river. There is doubtless no one in Chicago who has resided here for a longer period than Mrs. Sayre. She is now in her ninety-third year, but her intellect is remarkably keen and her physical powers but slightly diminished. She does all ^rork without the use of glasses except sewing and reading and busies herself with some of the lighter household tasks or plain sewing. What she has been to the section of the city in which she lives can scarcely be overestimated. In the early days before this section became thickly settled there was no call for assistance in case of illness or distress to which she did not respond. She was the ministering angel at many bedsides and she always had a word of hope and encouragement for any who were distressed because of the heavy burdens or sorrows of life. She still lives upon the property to which she went as a bride, occupying the old homestead of her husband at the southwest corner of Grand and Seventieth avenues until after his death. Since then she has built her present residence which in the renumbering of the district is known as 6935 Grand avenue. Mrs. Sayre always shared with her husband in the belief that their home would one day be connected with the city of Chicago by street car lines and she lived to witness the fulfillment of the hope which she had long cherished. After waiting for seventysix years the car line was completed and she took her first ride on the extension of the Grand avenue line on the 1st of February, 1911. She had witnessed the building of the different railway lines not far from her home and it is said that on various occasions she would prepare a meal for the workmen. It is told how, when on one occasion she had to build a sidewalk at her home, the railroad transported the material free of charge and the labor was performed by neighbors. When the street car line was completed past her home a representative of one of the daily papers, knowing of the hope she had long cherished that this might be realized, invited her for a ride on the new line. The occasion brought back many reminiscences of the past and she exclaimed: "Who ever thought when I came rolling through this stretch of prairie more than seventy-five years ago in an old cloth covered 'schooner' that some day I would pass along this same road in a brightly painted street car? It's wonderful! Why, you will hardly believe me when I tell you that there was not a tree all along here in those days. Nothing but the big prairie and grass higher than a horse. I watched all these trees grow. At that time our house was the only one in this region west of Chicago. Oak Park was a wilderness and Chicago itself a mere dot compared to what it is now. And now I'm here in a street car! Shall I believe it? I have lived to see a wonderful age but I like it. Oh, yes, I do! I believe in all the new things. I love to ride in the automobile and I would take a chance in an airship if I had the opportunity. Really, I wouldn't be afraid; I'd like it." It is indeed a matter of marvel to think that it is within the memory of a living person when all the vast section of Chicago west of La Salle street was an unsettled, undeveloped prairie, yet when she came here with a party of sixteen people, traveling in three emigrant wagons, reaching their destination after a trip of twenty-one days, land could be purchased at twelve shillings per acre. Her father's first home for his family of nine was a little log building without a floor. Mrs. Sayre has ever kept apace in thought and spirit with the progress that the years have brought and is today as interested in what is being accomplished as she was when she watched the changes that occurred during the period of her girlhood and womanhood. When she first took up her abode out on the prairie it sometimes required five or six hours to drive in a wagon for the roads were usually muddy and it was mainly a swamp district between her home and the river. Speaking of this she said: "In the winter the big swamp would freeze over and our sleds would slip and skid like automobiles do now. There were no bridges over the river except narrow, shaky ones for the people to walk on. Wagons and horses were all ferried across. The stage went by once a week in either direction. It took a week to get to Rockford when the roads were bad and they wouldn't carry many passengers, either. They used to bring our mail out from Chicago and always stop in front of the house. Not a tree was in sight out there and the grass of the prairie, my, how long it was! It seemed to wave like a big sea under the wind which never was still. We could see it waving; as the lumber box wagons of the emigrants going still farther west drove through it we could see the white canvas tops of the wagons but we couldn't see the horses or the wagon boxes. Then in the fall it would catch fire from some camp or somebody smoking and the sky would be lit up as if the whole world was burning. The night of the big fire it was as light as day out here. I could see to pick up a pin on our lawn. I put the children all to bed and stayed up all night myself." Speaking of her arrival in Illinois Mrs. Sayre continued: "We were the only white persons west of the river. The Fort Dearborn massacre took place two years before we came. The government was moving away the Indians but there were still five' hundred Sioux with red blankets, five hundred Sacs with blue blankets and five hundred Pottawatomies with white ones living near us. They 'slept out around big fires at night. We used to go to their camps in daytime. They would give us presents and then come the next day and want them back. But they never shot a deer or any game without coming to the house and asking 'White squaw want some?' We were married young in those days. My nineteenth birthday was in December and on the 3d of the next month I was married. Every person who attended that wedding except me is gone." Five children came to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sayre: Mary E., who married Charles E. Allen and makes her home with her mother; Lydia C., who died at the age of six and a half years; Emma J., who died in infancy; Ida T., who has also passed away; and John J. The grandchildren are Harriet Sayre, now the wife of Albert F. Keeney, president of the board of local improvement of Chicago; Mary Sayre, the wife of R. Y. Bradshaw; and William S. Allen, of Los Angeles, California. There are also six great-grandchildren: Edwin Sayre and Josephine Esther Allen, children of William S. Allen; Harriet E. and Virginia Keeney; and Harriet Amy and Robert Sayre Bradshaw. In his last illness Mr. Sayre said to his wife that he hoped she would take life easier during the rest of her days and not work as they had done in the early period of their married life, adding that it would not be long before she joined him. But thirty-nine years have passed and Mrs. Sayre is still an active, well preserved woman for one of her age. She spends the winter months in California in the milder climate of the Pacific coast, but eagerly looks forward to her return to her old home in Chicago in the opening of the spring. Hers has indeed been a useful life. She cared nothing for the social prominence which means leadership in fashions, but with a heart responsive to every appeal she has always been ready to extend a helping hand to all and her kind deeds have left an indelible impress upon the hearts of many who have known her. Everyone in her section of the city knows Mrs. Sayre or where she lives and such a life deserves all the respect and honor which can be accorded it. Chicago: Its History and Its Builders, a Century of Marvelous Growth, Volume 4 By Josiah Seymour Currey 1913-11-17 Chicago Tribune (IL) OLDEST CITY SETTLER DEAD Mrs. Harriett Lovett Sayre, 94 Years Old, Here in 1835. RODE WEST BEHIND OXEN. Bought 160 Acres for $240 on Easy Terms. Edition: Chicago Tribune Mrs. Harriett Lovett Sayre, 94 years old, credited with being the oldest settler of Chicago, died yesterday at her home on Grand and Sayre avenues. Mrs. Sayre, in 1835, when 15 years old, came to Chicago in a prairie schooner drawn by oxen. Her father, with a party of sixteen from Bath, Steuben county, N. Y., took up land on the prairie four miles north of the Chicago river, two years after the Fort Dearborn massacre. There was a camp of 500 Sioux near her home. At 19 she was married to William E. Sayre, and went to live in the log house with a dirt floor, the only building between the Sayre homestead at Seventieth street and the south branch of the Chicago river. Their farm here of 160 acres was purchased from the government at 12 shillings or $1.50 an acre, on easy terms. Here she has lived for seventy-two years. At that time they were the only white people in the vicinity. The stage passed their house on Grand avenue once a week. Seventy years later Mrs. Sayre was one of the party that rode on the first street car down Grand avenue. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Allen, who lives at the old homestead; her grandchildren, Williams S. Allen of Los Angeles, Mrs. Harriett S. Keeney of 2046 North Tripp avenue, and Mrs. Mary S. Bradshaw of 2358 North Sayre avenue, and six greatgrand-children. Services will be held at Mont Clair Congregational church tomorrow. She will be buried at Rosehill. Copyright 1913, Chicago Tribune.

It occupied a central position, and as the soil was unusually good settlers were attracted to that vicinity. However, the territory was somewhat low and in early times was covered with water. To add to this unpleasant state of affairs, the citizens were negligent in regard to the question of drainage. They even took action against becoming a part of the Chicago drainage system early in the '50s. Later this injury to the town was repaired by the construction of numerous ditches and sewers. The site was originally prairie, crossed with Sand ridge and Union ridge, the latter extending from Elijah Wentworth's hotel to Whiskey Point. As a whole the township was elevated about twenty to twenty-five feet above Lake Michigan. The ridges were approximately from thirty to forty feet above the lake. The drainage was effected from the North branch of the Chicago river. Among the first settlers was John Kinzie Clark, who located there as early as 1830. He is conceded to have been the first resident in this township. He was a squatter, of course, and hence had no rights except those granted by the preemption laws. His log cabin was located in the timber on the North branch of the river, about eight miles from its junction with the South branch, the Clybourns and several residents of Chicago assisting him to erect his small residence. Here Mr. Clark resided until 1836, when he sold to Mr. Brownell and removed to Northfield. Mr. Clark seems to have been the only resident of the township prior to about 1831-32. At this date or a little later the Bickerdikes settled not far from the Clark residence. The Nobles owned land in this township very early and may have lived within the township limits during the early '30s. Joseph Lovett settled near Mr. Clark in 1833 and his residence stood about one mile northwest of Whiskey Point. It was not until 1838 that the land of this township was thrown into the market, so that all settlers prior to that date were squatters. Another early settler was David Everett. Elijah Wentworth located on Sand ridge as early as 1836. He opened a tavern and received much patronage from emigrants westward bound. Mr. Wentworth's tavern became such a landmark that the ridge was often called "Wentworth's Ridge." Among others who settled in the township about 1836 were Winthrop Merrill, Wm. E. Sayre, Gustavius V. Smith, Israel G. Smith, Major Noble, Martin Kimbell, James Townsend, Philip Townsend, Richard Townsend, John Anderson, S. S. Abbott, Thomas Burkel, Laomi Butterfield, John Sweeney, Abner Ellison, and a little later came John Robinson, Hiram Sanford, Reese Eaton, Edward Simons and others. Milwaukee avenue at a very early date was a wagon track extending from Kinzie street, Chicago, northward through Jefferson township and then on to Niles and Northfield in the direction of Deerfield. This was the most important highway leading northward from Chicago in early years. Accordingly the citizens of Chicago as well as the settlers along the road were interested in its early improvement. The County Board early made appropriations for keeping it in repair, and the towns through which it passed levied taxes for the same purpose. It was duly surveyed upon petition of Silas W. Sherman, and Asa F. Bradley was the surveyor to mark its final course. Abram Gale located in the township as early as 1835. Upon his arrival Charles Chapman had just located within the limits. Mr. Gale selected a tract on the ridge that afterward became known as Galewood. The house, however, was not built until 1838. Richard Y. Spikings, Leighton Turner, Able Kay, D. L. Roberts, Chester Dickinson and William P. Gray located in the township late in the '30s or early in the '40s. Taverns were opened by George N. Powers, S. S. Abbott and D. L. Roberts. The latter purchased the tavern owned by Elijah Wentworth in the village of Jefferson. This building was a strong block-house, two stories high. In 1845 a postoffice was established at Jefferson with E. B. Sutherland as postmaster. He was succeeded the following year by Chester Dickinson. The school section was offered for sale in 1840. At that date its valuation was from $4 to $12 per acre. In 1850 the township was organized as a township under the new law. Prior to that date the citizens had voted either at Chicago or in Monroe township. One of the voting places was at Higgins' tavern on the west side of the Des Plaines river. The new Jefferson town was made to coincide with the Congressional township of the same name. At the first meeting there were present the following men: Martin Kimbell, William P. Gray, Edward Simons, Chester Dickinson, David L. Roberts, Zina Byington, S. S. Abbott and Major Noble. The first election was held in April, 1850, at the residence of Chester Dickinson. George Merrill served as moderator; D. L,. Roberts, clerk. The first officers elected were as follows: Martin W. Kimbell, supervisor; Robert J. Edbrook, clerk; Russell Morton, assessor; Alexander Clark, collector; George Merrill, overseer of the poor; Daniel Booth and Major Noble, commissioner of highways; John H. Butterfield, constable. The officers immediately proceeded to divide the township into road and school districts, levy a tax on property, fix a legal height for fences and provide for digging ditches and constructing sewers. Early in the '50s the commissioners of highways performed the duties of a drainage board, and seem to have been negligent because there was much complaint. In 1859 a separate drainage board was organized. The village of Jefferson was organized in 1870, the first officers being William P. Gray, supervisor; S. S. Abbott, assessor; Frank D. Wulff, collector, and D. N. Kelsey, clerk. In 1856 the town hall was erected at a cost of about $2,500. From the start Jefferson spent immense sums for drainage purposes, and the result was shown a little later in the splendid farms and gardens in this portion of the county. In 1872 the village organization was made effective. Thirty citizens petitioned for the change and a total of eighty-two votes were polled, seventy-two being in favor of village organization and ten opposed. William P. Gray was the first president of the Board of Trustees. As early as 1869 the first artesian well was sunk on the farm of M. W. Kimbell, and a depth of 653 feet was reached at a cost of about $4,000. Later several Bothers were dug in the same vicinity; the water usually came a few feet above the surface but not with great force. About ten or a dozen wells were sunk and several are in existence at the present time. As early as 1836 the township was divided into school districts. Reese Eaton was one of the first teachers. He was succeeded by L. H. Smith. Mr. Kimbell taught several terms in his own residence. Children came to his house from as far as four miles. By 1837 there were four schoolhouses within the township limits. The first regularly organized school district was established in 1842 and Edward Simons, Gustavius V. Smith, Philip Townsend, Nyram Sanford and W. E. Sayre were the first trustees. Two years later, School district No. 2 was duly organized by the citizens assembled in the tavern of Mr. Kimbell. By 1849 Jefferson probably had, as a whole, the best schools in the county outside of Chicago proper. The school buildings by that time were numerous, well constructed and well attended. Among the early settlements in the township were: Maplewood, Cragin, Humboldt, Avondale, Mont Clare, Montrose, Whiskey Point, Grayland, Forest Glen, Bandow, Kelvyn Grove, Jefferson, Bowmanville, Summerdale and Irving Park. In 1869 the citizens concluded to build their first high school building. At first it was proposed to conduct high school in the town house. The first attempts failed, and it was not until 1870 that a high school was finished and opened under the principalship of J.,,B. Farnsworth. The high school building was not erected until 1883. It cost about $30,000 and was a credit to the township. Soon afterward it was found necessary to erect another. As early as 1833 religious services were held in Jefferson township. The first settlers prior to that date attended meetings at the residence of Daniel Everett in Leyden township and in 1833 Rev. Mr. Payne, a Congregational minister, conducted services in the first schoolhouse built in the township. A little later Methodist quarterly meeting was held at Whiskey Point. This meeting was the foundation for the rapid growth of Methodism in this section of Cook county. Mark Noble, Sr., a strong church man, preached to Jefferson township congregations at an early date. Several other organizations sprang up and by 1860 the township was well represented with religious services. The Jefferson Congregational church was organized with seven members in 1861. St. Johannes German Evangelical Lutheran church was established in 1876 by Rev. Augustus Reinke. The Union Congregational church at Bowmanville was founded as early as 1878 and was known as the Union Protestant church. Mrs. Mary A. Petersen was a leading member at the start. This society had an early Sunday school with large membership. The Congregational church at Cragin was established in 1873 by Rev. J. M. Williams. In 1874 the Reform Church of Irving Park was commenced with a membership of sixteen. In 1860 the Baptist church of this township was organized. Its services were held in the railroad station and in the schoolhouse. The Church Extension sosiety of this denomination do important work to this day. Jefferson village was laid out by D. L. Roberts in 1855. Numerous additions were platted and within a few years the village contained several thousand population, excellent schools, churches, business houses and shops. Maplewood lies in the southeast corner of Jefferson township. The first house there was built in 1870 by Mr. Hoffman. The second was built the following year by Mr. Daniel Reynolds. Other buildings were erected by Crony & Farlin. Mr. Rhoades, L. Welch, C. M. De Libbey, David A. Cashman, T. W. Taylor, James Lee and Mr. Whitman. The station was built in 1870 and the postoffice established two years later with Mr. Reynolds as postmaster. The site of Maplewood originally embraced the southeast quarter of Section 25. Galewood is 8.7 miles from Chicago proper. The land was originally owned by Abram Gale, from whom the village took its title. It was located on Sections 31 and 32. The station house was built in 1872, but was only a flag station until 1883. Charles G. Whitcomb was the first station agent. An important business enterprise here was the Western Brick and Tile company, which began operations in 1883. Excellent brick clay was found in the vicinity of Galewood. When burned it gave brick of a fine red color that attracted the attention of builders and contractors.

When Pat was alive him and Steve were buddies and me and Steve's younger brother Mike were buddies. Steve got involved with Bent Christopher one of his friends from school they took an awful lot of drugs. Steve Had came to visit me once after shock treatment. He was a zombie for several weeks. He never seemed to fully regain all of his faculties. Steve committed suicide after killing his wife Cindy Bauer after they had came home from a night out. The story goes they had a fight, over a comment that one of guys that Steve was working with at the Elk Mound feed mill had made, about having slept with Cindy. | Brindle Steven (I49915)

| 3706 | Immigration 1670, New France as "King's Daughter" Age 16. Occupation: Homemaker Religion: Catholic Three years later Mathurin declared himself ready to take a wife. The time was propitious since the King had just sent to this new country one of the largest contingents of his "daughters," under the direction of Anne Gasnier and Elisabeth Estienne. Mathurin needed a strong wife and he found her in Marie Campion, a young girl of 16 years. She had all of the qualities required to raise a family in the difficult conditions of that time, when one needed much courage to set up a home and to succeed in living with only the raw materials which are found in nature. "The King's Daughters, like their predecessors, wrote Silvio Dumas, were courageous. It is true that they came to Canada to try to build a better future than the one they had in France, but that takes nothing away from their courageous actions. Emigration to faraway colonies was unsympathetically viewed in the mother country at that time. They knew from the Jesuit reports that Canada had a severe climate, was closed to all communications for six months of the year, and was subject to damage from the Iroquois. To emigrate to this new country, which was described at times as "a place of horror," was perhaps an adventure to tempt the men but not the women. Those who came during this time of emigration left a country where it was good to live and which was, in addition, the best organized country in Europe; they left it to go to a far off colony without hope of seeing their native land again. So, we cannot deny that these women possessed a strong measure of courage." (3) PIONEER OF THE ILE D'ORLEANS Therefore, on 28 August 1670, Mathurin Dube, having discovered this rare pearl, needed the services of an expert in marriage contracts, the notary Romain Becquet. The contract revealed that our pioneer lived on the Ile d'Orleans and that he was the son of the late Jean Dube and Renee Suzanne, his father and mother, from "la Chapelle de May, near the town of Fontenay, diocese of Lucon." For her part, Marie Campion was the daughter of Pierre and of the late Marguerite Esnau (Henaut), her father and mother, from the town of Saint-Malo in Brittany (Ille-et-Vilaine). (4) The future spouses agreed to live in joinder as to property following the Couturne de Paris. Marie was endowed with the sum of 200 livres, and Mathurin acknowledged that she brought to the future household a sum equal to his and that half would belong to the estate, plus a sum of 50 livres that His Majesty gave her in consideration of her marriage. As usual several witnesses took part in concluding this type of agreement. There was Anne Gasnier, widow of Jean Bourdon, former seigneur of Saint-Jean and of Saint Francois and former procurer-general of the Sovereign Council; Louis Rouer de Villeray, first councillor of the same tribunal; Elisabeth Estienne, Jean-Baptiste Gosset, and Claude Morin. All signed with the notary, with the exception of the future spouses, who made their mark. The nuptial ceremony took place six days later in the parish of Mathurin Dube, Sainte-Famille on the Ile d'Orleans. (5) A copy of the parish registry indicates, however, that the parents of the bride were from Saint-Nicaise de Rouen. Why this different origin than the one indicated on her marriage contract? Was Marie born in Saint-Malo? Did her parents later move to Rouen? This could be a plausible explanation. | CAMPION Marie (I1755)

| 3708 | Immigration: 13 May 1665, Quebec, New France Age: 18 Occupation: Soldier In Grandfontain's Company, Carignan Regiment Of New France; Farmer Religion: Catholic Jean Soucy dit Lavigne Picardy was the province of origin of the ancestor of all the Soucy families in America. Normandy, Artois, Flanders, Champagne and the Ile-de-France surround this territory, which is subdivided into three departments: the Aisne, the Oise and the Somme. At Quebec on 9 October 1669, before notary Romain Becquet, Jean Lavigne stated that he was originally from Saint-Vulfran in Abbeville, diocese of Amiens. In the department of the Somme, Abbeville, known to the Romans as abbatis villa, or "city of the abbey", is one of the oldest inhabited sites in France. Archaeological research has revealed that at this place primitive man used sharpened flint as a tool. The history of Abbeville is steeped in religion. Before the French Revolution this city was host to 16 parishes, 7 monasteries and 8 convents. Of the 4 remaining parishes, the most venerable and the largest is Saint-Vulfran. The mortal remains of this saint were brought to Abbeville in 1058. In 1121 a collegiate church was founded. Vulfran, archbishop of Sens in the seventh century, then apostle of the Frisons (the Dutch), for centuries after his death was invoked against the dangers of the sea. The present church which is dedicated to him was begun in 1488 and was therefore the one attended by Jean Soucy, son of Claude and of Francoise de Vaime of Cevainne. No researcher has yet located the baptismal record of this father of numerous descendants, Jean Soucy dit Lavigne. LA VIGNE FROM THE REGIMENT Jean Soucy arrived in New France as a soldier of his Majesty in the famous Carignan Regiment; composed of 20 companies of 50 soldiers or 1,000 men. Four other companies from the Navarre regiment increased the royal military strength-to 1,200 effectives. Up until that time, never had a colony in the New World seen so many troops debark in a single year. Nearly all of these regular army soldiers had a double last name. Here are a few examples selected at random: 12 Laverdure, 7 Lafleur, 6 Laviolette, 2 Laforest one each of Laramee, Laplante, Latulippe, Latreille, Larose, Bellerose, and 2 dit Lavigne: Jean Soucy and Andre Poutre. Soucy dit Lavigne was part of Grandfontaine's company, as was Jean Bergevin, Louis Bolduc, Rene Dumas, Pierre Hudon and Pierre Lacroix. Before coming to Canada, had Soucy fought under the French flag against Austria? Quite possibly but unprovable. Let's summarize the verified facts. The last preparations before the dispatch of the regiment to Canada were carried out in the winter of 1665. On 11 April, Colbert de Terron went to La Rochelle where 4 companies were quartered. The 16 others, including Jean Soucy's, were billeted not far away, on the Ile de Oleron. On 4 May, Jean Talon ascertained that there were only 200 mattresses for all the soldiers so he quickly ordered 500 additional straw pallets. The seas were high and the barometer was low. The weather was cold, rainy and raw, hence the departure was delayed. On 13 May, the ship named L'Aigle d'Or with a 400 ton capacity, a veritable old worm-eaten hulk of the seas left the port of La Rochelle with 200 soldiers in 4 companies: Salieries, La Frediere, La Motte and Grandfontaine. The crossing took more than 3 months, with progress at the mercy of the wind and seas. Captain Villepars successfully reached the Gaspe with his ship, which had sprung a leak on the high seas. The anchor was dropped a few leagues downstream from the Saguenay River. Lieutenant Sertine went ashore to find an experienced pilot. Finally, on the evening of 17 August, Jean Soucy glimpsed Quebec in the semi-darkness. The next morning, on Tuesday, 18 August 1665, our happy ancestor stepped on the soil of his new homeland. L'Aigle d'Or sailed from Quebec on 13 September. On 6 November she berthed at La Rochelle. Colbert said upon seeing the ship that it was no longer seaworthy. Mission accomplished! As a last gasp the old ship served in a naval action as a giant fireship. MILITARY ACTIVITIES After the debarkation at Quebec, it is difficult to say where the soldiers (and jean Soucy) were billeted at that time. Perhaps the L'Aigle d'Or served as temporary sleeping quarters. There were only 70 houses it "pierrotees " on top of the old rock, reported the Ursulines. On 19 August, the soldiers passed in parade. Solemnly, the Marquis de Tracy reviewed his 8 companies, all of whom appeared to be in good condition. The population rejoiced. The religious authorities took advantage of this to organize a type of retreat preliminary to receiving the sacrament of confirmation on 21 and 22 August. The retreat master was Father Claude Dablon, S.J. Jean Soucy was not on the list of those confirmed. What a shame, because then we would know his age. "During the course of the last week of August, numerous soldiers received the scapular of Mont-Carmel." The list of candidates included jean Soucy dit Lavigne and Pierre Feuvrier, both from the Grandfontaine company. "There were indeed five hundred soldiers who took the scapular of the Virgin saint," wrote Marie de l'Incarnation. The recitation of the rosary in common was an almost daily practice. It wasn't war they wanted, but a crusade in favor of peace. Already summer was slipping away; September was bringing shorter and cooler days. There still remained a campaign for which to prepare. It was necessary to busy the non-commissioned officers and the enlisted men with a useful and necessary project before the onset of winter. The scope of the strategy went like this: to put obstacles in the way of Mohawk movement on the Richelieu River, from Lake Champlain to the Saint-Lawrence. On 2 September, Jean Soucy's company and several others made their way towards the river of the Iroquois. On 22 October, after they had built Fort Sainte-Therese , they received the mission from Governor de Courcelle to build a passable road linking Fort Sainte-Therese to Fort Saint-Louis (Chambly). Jean Soucy then returned to Quebec where he wintered over. In 1666, under his company commander, Hector d'Andigne de Grandfontaine, he took part in the expedition against the Mohawks, beyond Lake Champlain. On 17 October 1666, the army took possession of the invaded territory. And history tells USA that the soldiers gave a rousing three cheers "Vive le Roy!" Certainly Jean Soucy was among them. The agenda for the years 1667 and 1668 is notable for its absence. There was general demobilization with voluntary return of the soldiers to France. Jean Soucy was among those who decided to adopt this new country. FAILED MARRIAGE PLANS Jean Soucy traded his gun for the axe and the plow. In the autumn of 1669, his heart was full of love. On 6 October in the home office of notary Romain Becquet at Quebec, he committed himself to take as his legitimate wife, one Madeleine Marechal, daughter of Jean and of the late Catherine Frenost. He signed his own name "Jean Lavigne." This daughter of the King was a native of Amiens, a renowned city in Picardy, also the homeland of her future husband. This orphan girl brought property valued at 200 livres in addition to the "sum of fifty livres which His Majesty gave her in Consideration of her marriage." However, it seems that Madeleine had previously married Pierre Poupardeau, origin unknown, also known by the last name of Le Vagabond. Therefore it was necessary for Jean to annul the marriage contract which was done on 13 October, just seven days later. Madeleine and her vagabond eventually had 3 children: Jean, Isabelle and Louis, however, on 3 July 1684, Madeleine was run out of Montreal for bad conduct. JEAN SOUCY FINDS A RARE PEARL Jean Soucy patiently waited to find a kindred spirit and eventually he did. However, nothing- has been discovered, not even a notary contract, to help in fixing the approximate date of his marriage. As his first child was born on 5 September 1671, it is reasonable to assume that Jean took a wife in the autumn of 1670. Rene Jette even believes that the religious ceremony took place on the Ile d'Orleans. Who, therefore, was this incomparable wife? Her name was Jeanne Sauvenier or Savonet, the 23 year old daughter of Jacques and of Antoinette Babillotte from the city of Paris. She was a courageous woman of good sense, which is just what Jean Soucy wanted. ON THE ISLANDS OF THE SNOW GEESE The non- commissioned officers of the famous regiment, those who decided to settle in Canada, obtained fiefs and seigneuries in return for their service to the crown. They also were able to marry girls of good families. Thus, Paul Dupuy de Lisloye, husband of Jeanne Couillard, became the owner of half of the Ile-aux-Oies and the Ile- aux-Grues, in the Saint-Lawrence River, not far from the Ile d'Orleans. Pierre Becart de Grandville, an officer in Grandfontaine's company, husband of Anne Macard, daughter of Nicolas and Marguerite Couillard, obtained from seigneur Louis Couillard de Lespinay on 16 October 1668, the other halves of the islands. On 17 October 1671, the two seigneurs, Dupuy and Becart, agreed to redivide their properties. Paul owned the large Ile-aux-Oies, and Pierre the small Ile-aux-Oies and the Ile-aux-Grues. Here are the historical facts to help USA understand the hidden history of Jean Soucy. Pierre Becart had earned decorations and done deeds which, nevertheless, left him unfulfilled. Rather early in life he retired to his islands and requested the help of Jean Soucy, an old military acquaintance. From 1669, Jean Soucy worked hard to build the simple manor house of his seigneur. In 1670, he married and continued his activities as protege of Pierre Becart. The latter ceded to him, perhaps verbally, a piece of land on the Ile-aux-Grues. There, Jean built his house which he occupied about 1674. In fact, on 17 July 1674, Pierre Michaud, who obtained a concession on the Ile-aux-Grues, was a neighbor to Jean Soucy. Such are the approximate facts concerning the settlement by Jean Soucy on the small islands of the great white geese. FOUR CHILDREN The registries list 4 Soucy children: Anne, Pierre, Marie-Anne and Guillaume, all born on the islands, all baptized by Abbot Thomas Morel, missionary on the South Coast and the first priest of Saint- Anne-de-Beaupre. Anne, born on the Ile-aux-Oies on 5 September 1671, was baptized at Cap-Saint-Ignace on the 15th of the same month. The act was recorded at Sainte-Famille. The seigneuresse Anne Macard, accompanied by seigneur Paul Dupuy, stood up for her at the font. Anne Soucy married Jean Lebel, son of our ancestor Nicolas, on 16 August 1689 at Riviere- Ouelle. They had 5 children. Jean Lebel was buried in the same place on 6 October 1699. Anne was also the mother of a child born out of wedlock. Marie-Therese, baptized on 6 October 1703 at Riviere-Ouelle. The latter married Louis Morais, of unknown origin, at La Pocatiere about 1729. On 24 November 1704, widow Anne Soucy was married to Jacques Bois, who had arrived in the country about 1698. The. new couple saw the birth of 8 Bois children. As a result, the descendants of Anne Soucy have been most numerous. On 13 April 1673, Pierre, the eldest of the Soucy boys was born. On the 16th of the same month, Seigneur Pierre Becart served as his godparent along with Jeanne Couillard, wife of Paul Dupuy. The baptism was recorded in the registry of Notre-Dame de Quebec. Msgr de Laval conferred the sacrament of confirmation on this child at Montmagny on 31 July 1681. Elisabeth-Ursule Fouquerau, daughter of Urbain and of Jeanne Rossignol, captured Pierre's heart and married him at Riviere-Ouelle on 13 January 1699. Twelve children were the jewels in the crown of this beautiful union. Pierre was a farmer and also fished for porpoise. He died at an advanced age. Marie-Anne, the first child born on the Ile-aux-Grues on 15 February 1675, was baptized on 26 April before her godfather Pierre Michaud. At the age of 21, on 24 November 1701 at Riviere-Ouelle, Marie-Anne became the bride of Charles Pelletier, son of Noel. Charles died on 7 October 1713. They had only one son, Joseph, who was a seminarian when he died at the Hotel Dieu in Quebec on 21 April 1723. Marie-Anne then became the wife of Robert Gaulin, widower of Elisabeth Latourneau, father of 14 children, at Sainte-Famille, on 15 April 1716. Marie-Anne has no descendants. There remains the youngest to present. Guillaume, the godson of Guillaume Lemieux and Marie-Anne Langlois, was born on 5 April 1677 and baptized on the first of May. This Guillaume does not seem to have married. However, he had a natural son by Marguerite Bouchard, wife of Fran is Dutartre. This unheralded child was named Jean Baptiste dit Guillaume. He went to the Montreal region as a young man, where he married the widow of Jean Laroche, one Catherine Demers, on 18 June 1726 at Laprairie. To her 6 Laroche children, Catherine Demers added 3 Soucy children: Jean-Baptiste, Marie- Angelique and Louis. Such is the brief account of the first harvest of Soucy offspring in America. SAUVENIER-BERUBE-MIVILLE One inevitable day ancestor jean Soucy died; we know neither how nor why. During her mourning Jeanne Sauvenier met ancestor Damien Berube and married him on 22 August 1679. Proof appears in the registry of l'Islet. To the Berube history, previously featured in this series, let USA add that in the census of 1681, the 4 Soucy children remained well protected in the home of Damien Berube at Riviere-Ouelle. There, they knew 6 Berube half-brothers and sisters and, later, a half- sister, Marie-Francoise Miville, the daughter of Francois and of Jeanne Sauvenier, their mother. The Soucy family has spread out and is most numerous in both Canada and in the United States. We find them in all trades and professions. Let it suffice to recall the memory of a family of Soucy sculptors: Elzear, Cleophas and Donat. For three generations they lived at Saint- Onesime in Kamouraska. In 1924, Elzear Soucy sculpted a Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville "which truly has style." This work may be admired in an exterior niche of the parliament of Quebec.

|
| 3714 | Immigration: 1635, Quebec, New France Occupation: Master Carpenter Religion: Catholic Gaspard Boucher may count among his descendants a great number of the most remarkable families in Canada. Such is, in substance, the finding of Msgr. Cyprien Tanguay contained in a short three-line notation, which must be read with a magnifying glass because it appears as a footnote to a page in his monumental work "Dictionnaire genealogique des familles canadiennes." (1) THE HEAD OF A CANADIAN DYNASTY Indeed, this remarkable descendancy includes a Governor, a Prime Minister, Ministers, Legislators, Bishops, illustrious warriors as well as renowned male and female educators. We have here an entire dynasty about which one could write a saga more captivating even than the "Chronique des Pasquier, Jean-Christophe, or the Comedie humaine." (2) There are also various intrigues from which an expert writer could create a compellingly passionate tale. In the meantime, while waiting for the legend of the Bouchers, to flow from the pen of an historian who, with a little poetic flavor, would reveal the exploits and feats-of-arms of these three centuries and until all of the scattered documents have been assembled, let USA portray the ancestor Gaspard as a humble settler who came from Perche with his entire family in 1635. He had no intention of accomplishing feats of arms and entering his name in the history books. He would leave this task to his son Pierre and to the latter's offspring. Moreover, if Gaspard Boucher and Pierre had not taken the initiative of' settling in Trois-Rivieres, the destiny of this family would have been different. Providence, in its unfathomable wisdom, often knows how to place good people in the right place at the right time. From 1629 to 1632, while New France suffered under the yoke of the Kirke brothers, very few Frenchmen lived in that area of the world. For his part, Robert Giffard, Seigneur of Beauport, had returned to France. In 1634 he decided to come back to Canada, but this time with his wife, his children and as many colonists as he could recruit. Jean Guyon, Zacharie Cloutier, Noel Langlois and Jean Juchereau came with this first group. Meanwhile, Gaspard Boucher was making his final decision to leave the land of his fathers. FATHER, MOTHER AND FIVE CHILDREN, CROSS THE SEA Born at the end of the XVI century, Gaspard, probably the son of Jacques Boucher and of Francoise Paigne, was married to Nicole Lemaire when he was about twenty years old. At least eight children were born of this union, five of whom crossed the seas with their parents. However, on 25 May 1633, it is not at all certain that our ancestor had any intention of leaving his homeland. On that date our master carpenter acquired from his mother-in-law, Marie Gastrie, a plot of land and an orchard at Perruchet, in the parish of Saint- Hilaire. But he sold this property on 1 February 1634. Had he already made the decision to go to New France? It is quite possible. However, he was not on the first voyage, the one in 1634, as several historians have stated. Besides, on the following 20 April, (3) we learn that Marie Gastrie, "abandoned wife of Pierre Delorme, her second husband," ensured her son-in-law and daughter a legacy superior to that of her other heirs because Gaspard and Nicole had provided for the forsaken lady without recompense for eighteen months. Pierre Boucher himself stated in his Memoires that he was one of the earliest inhabitants of New France, "having been brought over to this country by my late father in 1635. " (4) In addition, an act by notary Decourtemanche discovered by Madame Pierre Montagne in the archives of Alencon confirms this. (5) On 19 March 1635, the Boucher's were still in France; but on that day they sold, left, ceded and transferred forever to Jeanne Desjouis, two parcels of plowed but unsown land at Charbonniers, adjoining the monastery of Val-Dieu. (6) This was probably Gaspard's last transaction in his native Perche. A few days later, the family bade adieu to their relatives and friends, received the blessing of the Cure Alexandre Chevalier, traveled the forty leagues (160 km) by wagon, (from Mortagne to Dieppe) and embarked on one of the ships commanded by Duplessis-Bouchart.(7) Coming out of the English Channel, the convoy evaded a fleet of Turkish ships and made the transit, beset by the usual Atlantic storms. This voyage was longer than the one the previous year, but they finally reached the promised land on 4 July. A long-boat sent from Tadoussac announced their imminent arrival at Quebec. The good ship Saint-Jacques, commanded by Roche-Jacquelin, arrived there eight days later. CHAMPLAIN WELCOMES THE NEW ARRIVALS "Samuel de Champlain, who was still living, (he died on Christmas Day 1635), writes Montarville de la Bruere, welcomed the new arrivals at Fort Saint-Louis. Without doubt he could not have suspected that one among them, a young boy of thirteen, would later be one of the principal instruments of the salvation of his dear colony. However, it was a great consolation during his last days, to see added to his nation such an industrious and honest family. " (8) Gaspard himself asked Champlain for protection on his arrival at Quebec. He then took advantage of this to inform the Governor of an incident in which he was a victim. Thomas Giroust, a traveling companion to whom he had entrusted some personal effects, refused to return them. Champlain ordered Giroust to return the property that he had kept illegally. Giroust pretended to obey, but later swore that he would not. This affair dragged on for three years, and finally justice was done. On 12 September 1638, Gaspard recounted that he had asked Giroust to take him from Mortagne to Dieppe, with baggage which contained, among other things, "two large salt cellars, two large flower vases, two large plates, six porridge bowls, all in a tin case, eight to ten plates, three small bowls, two of pewter and one of tin, a ceramic bottle containing rosewater, two bushels of cooked pears and one bushel of cooked prunes." (9) All of these items were put aboard the ship and brought to Quebec. This theft of utensils did not benefit Giroust, because it appears that he was obligated to sell his property and return to France. THE INFLUENCE OF THE BOUCHER FAMILY IN TROIS-RIVIERES During the first ten years of his stay in New France, it seems that Gaspard Boucher was a farmer for the Jesuits at Beauport. In 1644 he received a section of land at Trois-Rivieres, probably granted by the Governor, Charles Hualt de Montmagny. The Boucher family was well established by 1646, because in that year two of the ancestor's daughters, 12 year old Madeleine and 15 year old Marguerite, were listed in the civil records of the town as godmothers, paired with Michel Leneuf and Jean Godefroy. "At the post of Trois-Rivieres, writes Sister Estelle Mitchell, (10) the Boucher family had great influence, being made up of eighteen people while the total population did not exceed one hundred. (11) Gaspard, the father, as well as his sons-in-law Baudry and Lafond, signed the official report of the election, as trustee, of Michel Leneuf du Herisson in September 1648. (12) ... On Sunday, 17 January 1649, at the home of Gaspard Boucher, a marriage contract was signed between his son Pierre and Marie Chrestien(sic), a Huron woman living in Trois-Rivieres and who was related to the Pachirini family. (13) Marie-Madeleine Chretienne, as historians call her, was a boarder for a few years at the Ursuline convent." Mother Marie de l'Incarnation said about her: "There are some among the Hurons who persevered in their studies and whom we raised as French girls. We provide for them and they do very well in reading, writing and speaking French. We have introduced one of these girls to Monsieur Boucher who has been for some time the Governor of Trois-Rivieres." (14) The whole Boucher family fully approved of this marriage. On 16 June 1649, Gaspard sold his property to Jean Sauvaget, (15) but Governor d'Ailleboust granted him another on 1 June 1650, as "a place to build a house at the bottom of the hillside where the fort is situated." ( 16) This property had an area of 300 toises; 10 in frontage by 30 in depth, located near the road which ran from the town to the common. Gaspard's immediate neighbor was his son Pierre, who also received a grant on the same day. He was located to the north-west, on the land called the "Marquisat du Sable;" a boundary which corresponds today with the rue Badeaux. (17) From 1650 until his unexpected death, few documents detail Gaspard Boucher's life in Trois-Rivieres. Undoubtedly he cultivated his land, worked at his trade of carpenter, and above all, he influenced his son Pierre, who often needed his wise counsel. On 22 November 1655, the archives of the Provost of Trois-Rivieres mention a lawsuit brought by, Gaspard against two competitors, the master carpenter Elie Bourbaut and his associate Michel Lemay: Then we hear no more. DID GASPARD DIE IN A FIRE IN HIS HOUSE? On 27 June 1668, Madeleine Boucher, Gaspard's daughter and wife of Urbain Baudry dit Lamarche, declared that the title to the 24 arpents of land that her father had received from Governor Hualt de Montmagny, on 21 March 1646, situated on the Saint-Maurice River "was burned with the house of the said Gaspard Boucher, in which it was kept." (18) Can we infer from this evidence that our ancestor himself perished in his house? Most historians think so: It is certain that Gaspard passed away between 1662 and 1668. As for his wife Nicole Lemaire, was she also a victim of this fire? We just don't know. It was said that she was still alive on 19 June 1652 when the records mention her as a godmother. After that date there was nothing more. The burial records of Gaspard and Nicole have fallen into one of the numerous voids in the registry of Trois-Rivieres.

| 3715 | Immigration: 1660, Quebec, New France Age: 29 Occupation: Farmer Religion: Catholic Mathurin Dube It has been 3 and 1/4 centuries since the Poitevin, Mathurin Dube, left his native village of Chapelle-Themer to try his luck in New France. Since this time long ago, there have always been Dubes in Canada and there still remain some who perpetuate, from generation to generation, the ancestral line in this humble village in the Vendee. THE LAST OF THE DUBES IN CHAPELLE-THEMER In 1928 J.A. Dube, bookkeeper for the J.A. Larochelle firm of Quebec, began to search for the place of origin of his ancestors. (1) Thanks to the information provided by two highly esteemed genealogists of his time, Msgr Amedee Gosselin and Father Archange Godbout, the researcher succeeded in locating the small village which for a long time, he had dreamed of visiting. There, he was privileged to meet the last surviving relative from the French family of his Canadian ancestor: Jules Dube, son of Louis. Nine years later, J.A. Dube returned to Chapelle-Themer in order to renew his ties of friendship with his cousins from France. Alas! Jules had left for another world in 1934 at the age of 72, but his mother, the wife of Louis, still lived and the local population was getting ready to celebrate her 100th birth day. In reality the venerable ancestress had turned 100 on 28 September 1937, but the village celebration was on 3 October. On the road which leads to Sainte-Hermine a la Caillere, near Beau-Raisin, at the crest of the road going down to the village of Magnils (2), an arch of triumph carried these words: "Honor to our centenarian." "The small road, reports the author of the article, was changed into a lane of greenery and flowers. The village party held in her honor, that evening, took place in the large yard of Madame Dube and was a big success. It was there that Monsieur the Mayor, surrounded by all the council members and speaking for all his administrators, offered the centenarian the warmest congratulations. The musicians from la Chapelle and from Thire played selections in her honor. It appeared that Madame Dube herself was a part of the melody," Born in the village of Magnils on 28 September 1837, Madame Dube was baptized two days later, made her first communion in 1847, was married on 14 July 1856, her husband died in 1924 and her son in 1934. We do not know exactly when Madame Dube died, but there were still some Dubes who lived in the community of Chapelle-Themer, somewhere between Sainte-Hermine and Frontenay-le-Comte. Some Canadians who recently finished a pilgrimage to the land of their ancestors have confirmed this. SERVANT FOR MSGR DE LAVAL Mathurin Dube, the pioneer of the Canadian families bearing this name, arrived in New France around 1660, maybe even 1659, at the same time as Msgr de Laval, for whom he worked for several years. Even if the ancestor was not listed in the census of 1666 and 1667, it is certain that he lived in the Quebec region. On 22 June 1667 an act by notary Paul Vachon reveals that the bishop of Petree conceded his servant a piece of land, 3 arpents in frontage by half that in width, on the Ile d'Orleans, within the boundaries of the parish of Saint- Jean, facing the south bank of the Saint-Lawrence River. His neighbors were Pierre Michaud and Jacques Jahan. The first six children of Mathurin and Marie were born on the Ile d'Orleans: four of whom were baptized at Sainte Famille and the other two at Saint-Jean. It was in this last parish that the family was listed in the census of 1681. (6) The master of the house was said to be 50 years old, and his wife 27; five children were counted: Mathurin, Madeleine, Louis, Pierre and Charles. The ancestor still worked only 3 arpents of land and kept but 1 cow; his immediate neighbors were Jean Moirier (Amaury) and Rene Asseline (Ancelin). A little later, Mathurin signed 2 farming leases whose contracts were initialed at the home of notary Gilles Rageot. One, on 26 September, 1684, on behalf of Francois Magdelaine Ruette d'Auteuil et de Monceaux, councillor and procurer general to the Sovereign Council; the other on 20 October, from Eleanore de Grandmaison, widow of Jacques Cailhaut de la Tesserie, former councillor to the same Council; all of this is to say that Mathurin was the farmer for these two important people, after having been the farmer for Msgr de Laval; this would also explain why he hardly had the time to enlarge the cleared portion of his own land. FARMER OF THE SEIGNEUR OF AUTEUIL The contract of 26 September marked the departure of Mathurin and his family. On 10 October he sold his land at Saint-Jean to Julien Dumont dit Lafleur. (7) By this time he had already crossed the river to work the land of the seigneur of Auteuil at Grand-Anse, in the seigneurie of la Pocatiere. Proud of his seven year lease, Dube housed his family near to the seigneurial manor where he could use the bakehouse, the barn, the stable, as well as work the land and the fields. He had as neighbors Guillaume Lizot to the northeast, and Monsieur de Saint-Denis to the southeast. The lease specified that the tenant was to cultivate the land, to seed half of it and to raise as many cows as he could. Mathurin Dube was the farmer of the seigneur of Auteuil when LeRouge surveyed this seigneurie in 1692. In his official report the latter wrote: "I have measured all the lands of the aforementioned seigneurie, both those of the domain and the conceded dwellings and those not conceded, namely first, the domain which begins at a boundary marker which I planted that separates the aforementioned seigneurie from that of Monsieur de Saint-Denis, and from the above- mentioned marker I measured 14 arpents to the river where the mill is built, and from the aforementioned river to the dwelling of Guillaume Lizot there are 9 arpents 9 perches, and at the end of this I drew a line from the northeast to the southeast to a small hill, the above- mentioned line making a separation from the previously mentioned seigneurie of Monsieur Auteil from the dwelling of Guillaume Lizot, and on the aforementioned line I planted 2 stone markers under which are buried some pieces of brick." Mathurin Dube had his last 2 children baptized at Sainte Anne-de-la- Pocatiere, but they seem to have died in infancy. However, 5 of his 6 offspring had families of their own. "Mathurin Dube, wrote Leon Roy (9), had barely finished his lease with the seigneurs of Pocatiere when he died at about 64 years of age. He was buried at Riviere- Ouelle on 30 December 1695. Marie Campion, his spouse, died before 30 December 1703. (10) Their sons Mathurin, Laurent, and Pierre established themselves in the first row of the seigneurie of Aulnaies, but the last apparently gave up his land to his brother Laurent before 1714 (no. 13 des Aulnaies). In 1723, son Pierre Dube had some property in the seigneurie of Lauzon and in 1728 he lived in the Montreal region, while his brother Louis lived in the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Liesse (of Riviere-Quelle). Their only sister, Madeleine, lived at Pocatiere until the death of her husband, Jean Miville (1672-1711)." NUMEROUS FAMILIES Even though ancestor Mathurin Dube had an average size family-at that time eight children was not considered large- the four sons who took wives did better in this respect than their father. Louis, the second son, was the champion with about 20 offspring. In 1719 at the age of 42, he married Marguerite Lebel in a second marriage, who was the same age as his eldest son, 19 years old. He began, so to speak, to raise a second family. Here are some details concerning the 8 children of Mathurin Dube and Marie Campion: THE DUBES DIT DELORME Towards the end of the French regime a soldier, by the name of Jean Dube dit Delorme came from France, without doubt to participate in the defense of the colony threatened by the English army. After the conquest, Jean Dube settled down in the region of Richelieu. His act of marriage, inscribed in the registry of Saint-Denis on 13 January 1766, indicates that he was the son of Pierre Dube's (sic) and of Marie Bourgette (Bourgatte or Bourgotte) and on that day married Marie-Anne Martin, born about 1741, daughter of Jean-Baptiste and of Marie-Anne Renaud dit Deslauriers. Jean Dube dit Delorme had been a merchant, and then a surgeon beginning in 1774. He died during the night of 28 or 29 March 1789 at Saint Denis and was buried in the same place on 30 March. Six sons and seven daughters were the issue from this union. Three sons: Jean-Baptiste born in 1766, Joseph born in 1774 and Charles born in 1785, had descendants. Most of these families live today in the region of Saint-Hyacinthe. (11) ENDNOTES (1) This fact is reported in the journal Le Soleil of 16 February 1938, by Madame Louis Dube.

| 3716 | Immigration: 1665, Ange-Gardien, New France Age 13 But by the end of the summer of 1667, on 2 October, Pierre is present in the home of Claude Auber, in order to amend the text of his marriage contract. The notary wrote: "Pierre Michel, habitant of Sainte-Anne-du-Petit- Cap, coast and seigneurie of Beaupre. " This contract was never signed. For some unknown reason, the celebration of the marriage of Pierre was delayed for about 3 years. His dearly beloved lived at Ange- Gardien with her father and stepmother. She was Marie Ancelin, daughter of the thread-mill worker Rene Ancelin and the late Claire Rousselot. She first saw the light of day at LaRochelle, parish of Notre-Dame, in May 1654. Her father, three and a half years after the death of his first wife at La Rochelle, remarried to Marie Juin on 19 January 1665. The following spring they emigrated to Canada, bringing little 11- year-old Marie with them. At first the Ancelins lived-at Ange-Gardien where, in 1667, they owned 2 head of cattle and 6 arpents of cultivated land. Their neighbors were Abraham Fiset -and Jacques Achon. On 18 May 1669, Marie Ancelin was godmother at the baptism of her half-sister, Marie, at Ange-Gardien. At this time she was not yet married to Pierre Michaud. ON THE ISLE OF ORLEANS According to Leon Roy, Pierre Michaud obtained a land grant of 3 arpents of river frontage on the Ile d'Orleans from Msgr de Laval in June 1667. It was within the boundaries of Saint-Jean parish, between neighbors Robert Boulay and Louis Bibet. On 18 November 1670, we learn from the records of Notary Pierre Duquet, that Pierre Michaud, habitant of the Ile of Orleans, owed a debt of 21 livres 10 sols to Louis Boussot dit Laflotte. His young fiancee now lived on the island, along with her parents. On 26 March 1670, Marie Ancelin appeared as a godmother to the infant of Antoine Pepin-Lachance and Marie Tetu. Were Pierre and Marie married by this time? There is nothing to prove it. The opinion is that probably the marriage had taken place between 1669 and 1671, on the Ile of Orleans, where they both lived. The missionary priest must have simply forgotten to record the act in the register of Notre- Dame de Quebec. | ANCELIN Marie (I356)

| 3719 | Immigration: 1709, Quebec, New France Age: 35 Occupation: Sergeant in the troops of the company of D'alogny, Bailiff, Lawyer Religion: Catholic Charles Chandonnet dit Leveille Chandonnet descendants are unaware that their family name with so fine a French appearance is a diminutive for a place of origin: Chandon, attributed to several hamlets in France and to a community of the Loire in the arrondissement of Roanne. Chandonne and Chandonnais are only different names for the same bearers. Charles Chandonnet, child of Gatien and of Marguerite Legeay, was born about 1674 at Saint-Calais, arrondissement of Le Mans, today in la Sarthe. This locality has a long history. Its abbey, founded under the name of Anisola in the sixth century, in the twelfth century took the name of its founder Caislefus (Saint-Calais), a monk from Auvergne; in 1425, the English destroyed this monastery at the same time as the town. The abbey was rebuilt by Jean de Ronsard, the father of the great poet. It was in this civilized and religious atmosphere that Charles Chandonnet was raised. He was educated and signed his name with flourish "Chandone". It seems likely that Charles committed himself at the age of 20 to a military career. One does not become a soldier at the age of 35! I do not know his resume in France. When he arrived in Canada about 1709, he held the title of sergeant, a rank that he kept all his life. Sergeants were, in the beginning, servants, either at the Provost in Paris, or for the magistrates or the senechaux. Sergeant and servant were synonyms. In Charles's time, a sergeant was a non-commissioned officer in an infantry company. That definition, by and large, remains true today. AT QUEBEC Charles Chandonnet dit Leveille, was at Quebec in 1709. On 13 December, he appeared at the church of Notre-Dame as godfather of Charles Jodouin, son of Claude and of Louise Renaud. Marie-Catherine Larcheveque accompanied him as god mother. The curate Pierre Pocquet did not miss the opportunity to mention the title of the spiritual guardian of the infant: "sergeant in the troops of the company d 'Alogny ". Charles-Henri Aloigny de la Groye, midshipman at Rochefort, had come to Canada in 1683 as a lieutenant. For 30 years, he pursued a very active military career here as captain, ship's ensign, commander at Fort Frontenac in 1700, major in 1702 and commander of troops in 1704. He would occupy this last position until his death in the autumn of 1714 in the shipwreck of the Saint-Jerome at Sable Island. Sergent Chandonnet was therefore under the orders of Charles-Henri Aloigny in 1709. It took this baptism to reveal to USA these valuable details. If Claude Jodouin had chosen Ancestor Leveille as godfather, it was because he was already favorably known at Quebec and perhaps had been so for a few years. From 1711 to 1712, Charles Chandonnet assisted as witness at four marriages. On 23 November 1711, Jean Chandelier dit Saint-Louis, soldier in the Co,mpany d'Aloigny, abandoned bachelorhood. He married Jeanne-Elisabeth Joly at the cathedral of Quebec. Sergeant Chandonnet and Nicolas Framery, soldiers in the same company, were honored to act as witness for their companion-in-arms. On 19 January of the following year, the same friends, Charles and Nicolas, did the same at the marriage of Louis Dautrepe dit Lanoix, soldier in the Company d'Aloigny, and Marie-Madeleine Delaunay, daughter of Henri and of Francoise Crete. Ten days later, it was the turn of soldier Rene Girard dit Brindamour and Marie-Josephe Poitras to commit themselves to the great company of married people. This time, Sergeant Charles Chandonnet enhanced this wedding at Quebec by his presence: along with, to his right Etienne de Villedonne, aide major of the troops, and to his left Jean Vergeat dit Penouveau, veteran sergeant at the garrison of Chateau Saint-Louis. Finally, on 5 April 1712, Jean Bonneau, royal baker, native of Saint- Quentin-les-Trod, took as his wife Marie-Madeleine Moreau, widow of Francois Rolland. In his lifetime Rolland had been a soldier in the company de Mantet and master baker. This widow, who was marrying again, was accompanied by a diverse crowd of people: Jean-Baptiste Lacoudray dit Tourangeau, inn keeper and merchant; Francois Pampalon dit Labranche, sergeant at the garrison of Quebec since 1703; Louis Guerrain, an unknown soldier; Claude-Charles Detisne, ensign of troops; and finally, Sergeant Charles Chandonnet. The presence of Charles Chandonnet appears again at the baptism of Marie-Charlotte Dautrepe, the eldest daughter of Louis. Accompanying the soldier on this 5 April 1712 was Marie-Barbe Delaunay, the child's aunt and godmother. In short, the presence of Sergeant Charles Chandonnet did not pass unnoticed at Quebec. He was so kind! Did Charles decide to set up his home before white flakes fell on his roof? DAILY LIFE The life of sergeant Chandonnet appears rather tranquil and with reason. The Treaty of Utrecht, signed on 11 April 1713, gave Hudson Bay and Newfoundland to England. Acadia was already lost. With the permission of the king, the soldiers were used to strengthen the fortifications of the capital: they built a redoubt and a wall along the slope of the Palais to provide a curtain between the redoubt and Cap-au- Diamants. The sergeants, the first rank in the hierarchy of the non- commissioned officers, assured the supervision of these defensive works. After the death of his commander Aloigny, Charles changed companies. We know that in 1740, he belonged to the Company of La Ronde. Charles de Beauharnois (1726-1749) replaced Philippe Rigaud (1703-1725) as Governor of Canada. Chandonnet was educated. He sometimes used his talents as bailiff or lawyer. Thus, on 23 May 1725, he signed an official report of an account of expenses to be paid by the widow Duchesnaye at the request of Jean Badeau. On 8 August 1746, Sergeant Chandonne argued at the Sovereign Council the case of the late Jean-Baptiste Roy, who was during his lifetime, resident of Saint-Valier. And on the 13th of the same month, he produced the account of expenses to be paid by the widow Claire Cadrin. Another similar document for the same case was drawn up on the first of August 1747. On 26 March 1739, we learn that Chandonne and Larche owned a lot at Quebec rented to Joseph Huppe, hatmaker. The latter said he was unable to pay the 50 livres owed in arrears; he begged them to annul this debt, considering that he now was living at Terrebonne, and to take back this lot located on Rue Saint-Joseph and acquired in the presence of Pinguet on 13 and 18 December 1731. The debtor received an acquittal from his easy-going creditors. HOUSE SALE Elisabeth and Charles, residents of Rue Saint-Joseph, decided on 30 June 1740 to sell to the tailor Pierre Lamothe, living with his wife Charlotte Boisandre at the carrefour Saint Jean, "a lot and house above built on it located and situated on the level of the said rue saint Joseph, containing about 24 feet 10 inches of frontage...by 38 deep ". The neighbors were Etienne Roy and the widow Badeau. The house 20 feet wide, log on log, had only one floor with kitchen, bedroom, a small room, cellar and attic. Chandonnet had acquired the lot on 8 November 1715 from the Fathers of the College for 24 livres in non-redeemable annual rent. The buyers could draw their water from the Chandonnets' wells located on Rue de la Fabrique, near the heirs of Louis Vaillant. The tailor would pay a total amount of 700 livres to the sergeant. Charles and Elisabeth gave a receipt to Lamothe on 20 March 1742. At the time of the census of the city of Quebec in 1744, the Chandonne family was still living on Rue Saint-Joseph. Pierre Lamothe, tailor, and Francois Lachambre, shoemaker, were their neighbors. At that time, were the Chandonnets property owners or renters? A receipt from Sieur Couillard de Saint-Thomas given to Charles on 30 April 1747 sheds some light. In the presence of the notary Louet on 18 March 1729, they had acquired this piece of land "from a division" to Sieur Couillard de Saint- Thomas after the death of his uncle Jean-Baptiste Couillard, Sieur de l'Espinay. Charles had paid 400 livres to acquire this lot on which he was presently living with his family. THE CHANDONNET FAMILY At Quebec, the sun of life shone at least 13 times in the Bourget- Chandonnet cradle. But Charles, Marie, Madeleine, Marie-Anne, Antoine and Jean-Baptiste did not reach adulthood. I am unaware of the destiny of Etienne, baptized on 4 September 1738, present in the census of 1744. There are stitches missing in the fabric of the history of this second generation. One day, a descendant researcher will bring new details. LAST WATCH Geography is learned by measurements, the history of a country by ones heart and the value of life by the number of years one has lived. Charles Chandonnet, sergeant major, had crossed the ocean to protect the property of his homeland. For almost a half-century, he was faithful to his post as sergeant in New France. Now he was ready to trade his military stripes in order to receive those of the chosen. On Sunday, 27 June 1756, there was a changing of the guard. He was 78 years old. He was buried the next day at Quebec, in the presence of a single witness recorded in the registry, Jean Vallee. The officiating priest Jean Baptiste Rousseau could have said more but he seemed to have counted his words. On 20 September of the following year, Elisabeth Bourget ordered an inventory of the property of her late husband. Before the distribution, she had the right to 1,000 livres in dowry, 600 livres in preciput, her old clothes and her ornate bed. Half of the remaining property reverted to her as a wife married with community property. Thus, a fortune did not remain to be divided among the minor children. Etienne Chandonnet, Andre, Marie Marthe, Elisabeth, Marie-Anne, Josephe and Charles settled on the Riviere Saint-Jean. The number of inventoried objects is impressive. Not to mention the pots, iron trivets, skimmers, casseroles, numerous plates and the bird cage, I especially note the small frypan from the forges of Saint-Maurice with its sheet iron rack; the small iron pepper mill with its crank; the 13 inch mirror with a frame of gilded wood; the 2 small cotton curtains and their small iron rods; an old and new testament; 2 prayer books; 2 dictionaries Latin and French; a box containing 3 alphabets of copper for printing letters and an old copper horn. In the cellar were found 6 cords of firewood; a small oratory composed of a Christ and 9 small paintings with their frame; 1 basin of coarse crockery for shaving; 2 old spinning wheels, and so forth. The widow declared owning no silver. She owed the nuns of the Hotel- Dieu 10 livres for the care of her cow. Pierre Poulin was in debt to the Bourget-Chandonnet family in the amount of 450 livres "by a debt signed before Mr Sanguinet and Dulaurent" on 9 March 1752. That which Charles left was not important; the important thing is what he brought: an honest life shared with his loved ones, his homeland and his first commanding officer, the Lord and Master of people and men. The Chandonnet descendants have multiplied quietly in Quebec and elsewhere. FAMILY NAME VARIATIONS Chandon, Chandone, Chandonne, Chandonnais and Leveille.

| 3723 | In 1628, Pierre Gareman of Bagneux, Picardie married Marguerite Charlot. Their first child arrived in 1629 and their second in 1631, they were girls, Florence and Nicole. This little family migrated to Quebec before the birth and baptism of their third daughter, Marguerite, in 1639. They had, Charles, their only son in 1643. They baptized Charles in Trois-Rivieres. According to Marcel Trudel (Terrier, p.307), the Gareman was in the region of Portneuf from 1640 to work in the service of Jacques Le Neuf de la Poterie. A short time later, around 1642, the Iroquois forced them to take refuge in Sillery, at the hospice. It was about the same era that Pierre stayed sometime in Trois-Rivieres. He shows up as a witness in 1643. The 25-05-1646, the seigneur Le Neuf came back again and signed with Gareman and Rene Mezeray a contract that incites them to take up where they left off in Portneuf. This contract did not have the desired follow-up because Mr. de la Poterie will declare in 1668 that the Iroquois danger obliged him and "many of his tenant farmers, had to abandon the area twenty years ago" because the buildings were burned," in which they suffered notable losses that cost him a lot to presently settle and could not do it earlier because there were no troops in the country" (The Carignan Reg.). The historian Trudel concludes that the occupation of the area is not yet really underway before 1663, because the only two known residants at that time are Pierre Gareman and Rene Mezerets dit Nopce. In 1652 or before, the Compagnie des Cent-Associes granted to Pierre Gareman some land of four arpents wide on the (St. Lawrence) river, to which originally was twelve and a half arpents deep, and later to fifty. [In 26-03-1656, the inheritors will sell this land with buildings to Etienne Letellier, for the sum of 300 pounds. This property, today, takes up the major part of the parishes of Ste. Ursule and St. Benoit at the western end of the city of Ste. Foy.] In 10-06-1653, when he was living at Cap Rouge with his family, Pierre and his son Charles, 8 years old, are captured by the Iroquois. In the Histoire De Notre-Dame de Ste. Foy, the priest H.-A. Scott writes (pp. 295-296): "the 10-06-1653, Francois Boule, called Petit Homme, was working in his field, which bordered on that of Rene Mezerets, when he was hit by three gunshots, one in the stomach, in the groin, and in the thigh, then scalped. His other neighbor, Pierre Gareman, called the Picard, had a consequence even more sad, as he was taken alive with his son Charles, of eight years, and a young man named Hugues Couturier, and reserved to these terrible tortures so often written about. The Jesuit Journal also tells about the attack on 10-06-1653 by the Onieda tribe of the Iroquois on Cap Rouge. The Journal refers to ten year old son, Charles. The Iroquois did not approve of men letting themselves be captured. They usually tortured and killed them, as they did with our Pierre Gareman.

| 3724 | In 1773, Daniel and Prudence built a log cabin on Elk Creek in Harrison County, VA on the present day site of Clarksburg, WV. Their claim on 400 acres of land was recognized when the land commissioner sat in Clarksburg in 1781. By 1778, Davisson had permitted a number of settlers to build cabins adjacent to his. One cabin joined another to form a wall that made the little village a fort. In that time of Indian raids, a fort was a necessary consideration. At its first meeting near Buckhannon in 1784, the Harrison County Court decided to place the county buildings on Daniel Davisson’s. George Jackson asked permission at the same meeting to build a dam and grist mill on Elk Creek about a hundred yards from the edge of the village. Daniel is everywhere in the court records of the 1780’s. He viewed the road “to Levi Shinn’s”, filled and order to “to build stocks, whipping post, and pillory” in 1785 and collected a shilling for candles he furnished the justices in 1786. He accepted a place on the committee to superintend construction of a building for Randolph Academy in 1788 and proved to the court that he worked 20 days in 1788 and 30 days in 1790 as a commissioner helping to cut a road from the State Road near Kingwood to the mouth of the Little Kanawha River. In 1788, he presented the court his commission as a Captain in The Virginia militia. The Harrison County court ordered a courthouse erected in 1787 and by 1790, Daniel had built a residence and “ordinary” across the street. This establishment functioned as a store, hotel, restaurant and meeting place. In 1790, the county court accepted Hezekiah Davisson in place of Daniel “to keep the road in repair from for of Elk in Clarksburg to Limestone Creek and from the courthouse to the mouth of the Elk”. Apparently the Davisson establishment served an an unofficial adjunct to the Courthouse. By 1795, the court authorized Daniel to “keep the courthouse key and to sweep the courthouse clean for a year at 15 shillings.” By 1800, the court allowed Daniel $12.50 for his room to hold court for 1 year. In 1799, Daniel was commissioned a Major in the 11th Regiment of the Virginia Militia. That year the governor received Daniel’s name as a man likely to be a justice of Harrison County. Daniel was voted a delegate to thwe Virginia Assembly in 1801 and in 1802. In 1817, Daniel was appointed High Sheriff of Harrison County for 1 year. Prudence (Izzard) Davisson died in 1806 and Daniel in 1818. BIBLIOGRAPHY: "Clarksburg, A Bicentennial Album" "History of Harrison County WV" p.153 From: A History and Genealogy The Davissons Twelve Generations 1630-1992 Davidson-Davison-Davisson Families By Russell Lee Davisson published 1993. Major Daniel Davisson (Obadiah, Josiah, Daniel) was born in the Millstone Valley of New Jersey, circa 1748; he died at Clarksburg, Virginia, in 1819; Daniel Davisson is buried at the Hopewell Baptist Grounds, near West Main and Chestnut streets, at Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia (West Virginia), now the Daniel Davisson DAR Cemetery. He was probably married in 1772, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Prudence Izzard, daughter of George Izzard of South Carolina; said to be a niece of Aaron Burr; she died circa 1806(?) (deed 1808). Her name was variously spelled as Izzard and Izard, but the later spelling is used by her Davisson progeny. His 400-acre settlement right made in 1773, and certified in 1781, included the principal part of Clarksburg between Elk Creek and the West Fork River. His cabin was allegedly located on Chestnut Street between Pike and Main streets. From being the first settler, he is known as the "Proprietor of Clarksburg." He later built a large stone building on the northwest corner of Second and Main streets where he live for many years. For a long time he kept an ordinary, a tavern or eating house serving regular meals, which was authorized by the county court held 18 September 1787. The author's grandfather told him that next to Daniel Davisson's ordinary was a large livery where he also provided stall hay and oats for the horses of his customers. Major Davisson was one of the leading men of the county. He took part in the revolutionary struggle being commander of Nutter's Fort. His revolutionary service is referred to in the pension affidavit of his brother Isaac mentioned previously. At the court held on 18 March 1785 he was awarded a contract for the erection at Clarksburg of stocks, a whipping post and pillory. At the following April court he was named surveyor of a highway in "Monongalie," Harrison and Ohio counties, Virginia. Daniel and Hezekiah Davisson were appointed to a commission to locate the road. In 1788, these same Davissons were named trustees for Randolph Academy, then authorized by the General Assembly of Virginia. He was a delegate to the House of Burgesses in 1801-1803. At the age of sixty-nine years, in 1817, he was named high sheriff for Harrison County by the governor of Virginia. The earliest record of the building of a church in Clarksburg is contained in a deed from Daniel Davisson dated June 21, 1790, which convenes to the "Congregation of Regular Baptist member of Hopewell Church and their successors, in consideration of ten shillings, a lot containing three rods and seven perches." This lot is located on the south side of what is now Main Street, just west of Chestnut Street, and was used a a burial ground from 1788 until shortly after the close of the Civil War. The Daniel Davisson Chapter of the DAR was named in his honor. The chapter currently maintains the burial grounds as a historic site; the church and most grave markers have long disappeared. | DAVISSON Maj. Daniel (I37128)

| 3754 | In 1909 the firm of Poss and Freeman rented out their vacuum cleaner by the day - the easy way to clean the house without taking up the carpets. The firm of Poss and Freeman, one of the oldest firms in Franklin, dissolved partnership in January 1915. Poss took over the hardware and farm implement business and Freeman took the furniture and lumber part of the business. The men were in partnership for 19 years. The new store name was "Freeman Furniture, Lumber and Undertaking." In 1918, the flu epidemic continued throughout the year, and many deaths were attributed to the dread disease. To curb the spread of the flu, public gatherings were stopped and funerals were not allowed to be held in the churches. This was an order received by C.E. Freeman, the local undertaker. Mayor L.H. Kirwin ordered schools closed and all activities cancelled for the month of November. In 1950, H.J. Poss bought the Freeman Lumber Yards from C.E. Freeman. The purchase included several sheds, lumber and material. In August, The Freeman Furniture Store was sold to Leanard McAdams of St. Peter.

| 3762 | In an article published in the Milton newspaper that the Hon. Neal Brown, of Wausau, WI had attended his brother's funeral and became a mainstay of the family since Carey's illness and had done everything possible for his brother before his death. This is the first mention of another child in the family. Here is the article about Hon. Neal Brown from Wausau in 1900: WAUSAU IN 1900 Hon. Neal Brown. Hon. Neal Brown is a lawyer by profession and a philosopher by inheritance; he is a lover of nature, a sportsman in the truest sense of the term and a writer of much ability. He might with propriety be called a genial grumbler. Were he not a Brown he would be a Carlyle, and the quaint and cynical and incisive criticisms of men and things with which he is wont to regale and always to edify his friends, are of a quality to do the great, grim, rugged Thomas Carlyle no discredit. Mr. Brown is himself great, grim and rugged, and his knowledge is confined to no narrow scope. It is practically world-wide. He is widely and accurately read, is perennially cocked and primed for the deep discussion of all things natural, or super-natural, or subnatural, and he rarely talks in private or in public without teaching his listeners something worth knowing, which they had never before known. Mr. Brown's attainments and reputation in the legal profession are enviable and steadily growing. He is the senior member of the firm of Brown, Pradt & Genrich, attorneys at law, which has attractive offices in the First National Bank building, and enjoys deservedly the high rank which has been honestly earned. A Badger by birth, having been born in Jefferson county, Wisconsin, in 1856, Mr. Brown has spent all the years of his life in this state. He continued to reside in Jefferson county until 1877, attending the county schools. In 1880 he graduated from the law school of the University of Wisconsin and came to Wausau in July of the same year, and has resided here continuously ever since, steadily adding to his reputation as a lawyer and as a hale fellow, well met. He represented Marathon County as assemblyman two years and for four years served in the State Senate from his district. Mr. Brown was married July 2, 1892, to Louise Norton of Lockport, Ill. They have an elegant home, surrounded by attractive groves of native trees and shrubs, all set by Mr. Brown who is an enthusiast on the subject of tree culture and landscape gar-dening. Mr. Brown is a member of Wausau Lodge Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and Forest Lodge No. '3° F. & A. M. Term: Brown, Neal 1856 - 1917 Definition: lawyer, businessman, politician, b. Jefferson County. He was the son of Thurlow Weed Brown (q.v.). He graduated from the Univ. of Wisconsin (LL.B., 1880), moved to Wausau, and set up a law practice. In 1885, he and two partners formed the Wausau Law and Land Association, a firm dealing in real estate throughout northern Wisconsin, as well as in Michigan, Minnesota, the Pacific coast, and the South. One of the most powerful businessmen in northern Wisconsin, Brown was among the organizers of the Wausau Street Railway, the Marathon Paper Mills Co., the Wausau Sulphate Fiber Co., and the Chisholm Electric Co. (Minnesota), and was an active promoter of the Wisconsin Valley Electric Co. A consistent opponent of governmental restrictions on business, he campaigned to eliminate tariff restrictions and fought state control of Wisconsin water-power rights. Originally a Republican, he became a Democrat in 1888 and served as state assemblyman (1891-1892) and state senator (1893-1896). In 1908 he was the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He was president of the state bar association in 1909. L. Marchetti, Hist. of Marathon Co. . . . (Chicago, 1913); Wausau Daily Record-Herald, Sept. 19, 1917; N.

| 3767 | In his Revolutionary War pension application November 12, 1832, Isaac stated that he was a son of Obadiah Davisson, that he lived in Harrison County, VA during the Revolution, That he was a brother of Major Daniel Davisson, that he was 86 years old, and a resident of Johnson County IN at that time. He stated that he volunteered as a ranger in a company officered by Captain James Booth, Lieutenant John Tucker and Ensign John Tucker about July 1, 1775. The following year, he was engaged as a spy under his brother, Major Daniel Davisson. Isaac was named to the VA General Assembly December 5, 1793. land deeds indicated that he may have lived in Harrison County as late as March 1808 before moving to Ohio. From: http://www.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/norman/DAVISSON He served as orderly sergeant and Indian spy, Virginia Line. He was placed on the pension roll of Johnson County, IN, 1832 for service as private, Virginia militia. From: A History and Genealogy The Davissons Twelve Generations 1630-1992 Davidson-Davison-Davisson Families By Russell Lee Davisson published 1993. Isaac Davission was born in the Millstone Valley of New Jersey, circa 1746; he died October 17, 1847. Isaac is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery, Lot 93, Section 5, at South Charleston, Ohio. He married Isabella Anderson (born 24 October 1756) on 25 May 1779. In 1871, he received certificate for four hundred acres of land on the West Fork River, Harrison County, Virginia, adjoining lands of John McCauley to include his improvements made in 1776. He was a Revolutionary War soldier named in Book 22 of miscellaneous volumes of lists of militia paid at Pittsburgh. At the time of the Revolution, he was a resident of Harrison County. The Wisconsin Historical Society has a five-page affidavit made by Isaac Davidson (Davisson) in a pension application dated 12 November 1832 (Draper papers) in which he recites: "That his father's name was Obadiah Davisson; that he lived at station in Harrison Co., VA; that he is a brother of Maj. Daniel Davisson; that his age is eighty-six years; that he is resided in Blue River Township, Johnson County, Indian; that he volunteered as a ranger, when living in Harrison County about 1 July 1775; that the company was officered by Capt. James Booth Lt. John Tucker and Ens. John Tucker; that they crossed the Monongahela's West Fork and ranged as far west as the Ohio River. The next year he was engaged as a spy under his brother, Maj. Daniel Davidson (Davisson). In 1777, Maj. Daniel Davisson commanded Nutter's Fort in Harrison county not far from Clarksburg. | Sr. Isaac Davisson (I36639)

| 3768 | In Ireland, the year 1810 was not in itself unusual. Things were neither good nor bad. People went about their work as usual. There were marriages, births and deaths. Some of the more hardy and adventerous souls, migrated to America, to them the 'Land of Plenty'. But to the members of the Brown family, this was, indeed, a most important year, because it was then that a son was born to the Goggin Family of County Cork. His name was Edwin, or as he was sometimes called, Ned, and he is the most remote ancestor about whom we have any knowledge. About his early life we know nothing. We do know that he married a lass named Mary Hudnut (also spelled Hodnett) in the city of Cork. Not long after their marriage, the great potato famine struck Ireland, and Edwin, his wife Mary and possibly his first child, David, left Ireland by sailing vessel for America. Mary's brother, Richard Hudnut, sailed for America at the same time, but in another vessel. As sailing vessels had to depend on the wind, they always made for the nearest port. Mary's ship was blown into the mouth of the St. Laurence River, while that of her brother came into the harbor at New York. According to our informant, Angela Borne, Richard became a successful businessman in New York and was probably the founder of the famous cosmetic company that bears his name. The only other information concerning this branch of the family, is that he had an adopted daughter, Virginia, who was one of the many wives of Rudolph Valentino, movie actor of the 1920's. Meanwhile, Mary and Edwin settled on a farm in or about Tinwich, Arthabasha County in the province of Quebec. There, more children were born, at least five that we have record of, but there may have been more. In addition to David, who was born in Ireland, there was Ned, Katie, Anna, Mary Anne, and Joanna. In the year 1890 at the age of 60, Edwin's wife, Mary died. Her husband followed her soon after at the age of 80. Both were probably buried in the old church yard near Tinwich. Edwin, in his later years, became senile, and his only activity was saying the rosary. A few days before he died, he plucked off each bead of the rosary while saying it and dropped them on the floor. He never asked for his rosary again. While it seems safe to assume that most of Edwin and Mary's children married, we have records on only two of them. Katie was married to a man by the name of Mullens, and they had two children, Katie and Mary. Beyond this we have no information. Mary Anne married James Brown, and it is with these progenitors that we are concerned in this family tree. James, Mary Anne's husband, was also born in Canada. While living in Canada, three children were born to them; James, Mary Ann and Edmund. When James was six, Mary Ann three and her brother Edmund, one, the family left Canada. It was in the year, 1868 that they arrived in St. Peter, Minnesota, From there they journeyed by ox team to Norfolk Township near Birch Cooley. There James took up farming, and there the following children were born; David, Katherine, Ellen, Edward, Patrick and Sarah. Written by Thomas J. Shay February, 1963 | GOGGIN Edmund (I3448)

Brown alleged to be insane, having heard the evidence in the case. are satisfied that said Guilford D. Brown is insane, and a fit person to be sent to a State Hospital for the Insane; that he is a resident of the State of Illinois and County of Iroquois, that his age is 57 years; and that his disease is of about 1 month of ? duration; that the cause is unknown. that the disease is not with him heriditary; that he is not subject to Epilepsy, and that he does not manifest homicidal or suicidal tendencies, that he is free from vermin, and is not affected by any contagious or infectious disease, and is not an idiot; that he is not a pauper, and that said Guilford D. Brown was in person actually present during said Inquistition, with full liberty to be heard in defense. And we further find the said Guilford D.

However, he was never qualified and was never appointed. In October 1899, Guilford presented to the court that in July 1888, he was judged insane. That Arthur W.

He petitioned that further, he was at the time of being adjudged insane, committed to the Eastern Illinois Hospital for the Insane, that about the 10th day of June, 1897, the authorities of the said Hospital refused longer to keep him in custody and he was transferred to the county Farm of the said county of Iroquois, where he remained until August, 1897, when he was discharged. The petitioner shows unto this court that for the past two years he has been perfectly restored to his reason, and is entirely rational in all and every respect, that since that time he has done business for himself and one of his sons in farming and handling, managing and selling stock of various kinds, and that he now requests a hearing to be officially declared to be restored to his reason. Your petitioner represents that he is the owner of some land in said county, which he desires to dispose of in order to give proper and sufficient title. He asks that the proceedings may be had and prays that upon a hearing thereof he may be adjudged to be fully restored to reason , and have the care, management and control of the said property.

Brown It is doubtful if the death of any person could have caused more regret than that of Jefferson T. Brown, who passed away at his home at “Home Comfort” on West Main street, Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. Mr. Brown had been in poor health for the past six weeks, having had an attack of appendicitis and owing to his advanced age the doctors thought best not to operate for. He seemed to be improving nicely until the death of his sister, Mrs. J. A. Staysa, and from that time he gave up interest in life and gradually sank away. Mr. Brown was born in Scips, Seneca County, [corrected, possibly by Fred H. Brown, to say Milo, Yates County] March 30, 1850, and was the son of William H. and Jane Eleanor Brown. He had spent the greater part of his life in Yates and Ontario counties where he was in the hotel business for about forty-three years. There are many interesting facts in regards to Mr. Brown’s connection with the hotel business, one being that he himself was a man of strict temperate habits, and his hotels were always known for their high character, and many a traveling man has been known to exclaim that they would go twenty miles in order to put up at the Brown Hotel. Mr. Brown was also much interested in good horses, and was able to give the pedigree of many of the best ones. When about twenty one years of age Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Alice Stebbins of Branchport, who died about twelve years ago. Seven years ago Mr. Brown came to Alden to live and during that time has made himself generally liked because of his kind, courteous, and gentlemanly manners and while of a good nature, he made many friends. Mr. Brown leaves to mourn his death one brother Emmett E. Brown of Denver, Colo., and a sister, Miss Mary M. Brown of Alden, also a brother-in-law, John A. Staysa. In accordance with his wishes a brief funeral was conducted from his home Monday morning at 8 o’clock and his remains were taken to Gorham and buried in the family lot in the village cemetery. In the 1880 census, Jeff and his wife, Alice, were living with his father and mother in Milo, Yates county,NY. Both he and his father were in the hotel business. | Brown Thomas Jefferson (I52864)
