He began fighting professionally in Philadelphia in late 1914 or early 1915, and fought over 200 bouts before losing his eyesight to a ring injury. In the late 1920s and early 1930s he operated a soft-drink saloon in Camden. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;">After a great deal of legal wrangling, in the late 1930s Frankie Conway obtained a liquor license in Westmont (Haddon Township), New Jersey and operated a bar there at 110 West Cuthbert Boulevard for over 20 years. Frankie Conway's bar in Westmont is still open, and has been known for many years as Fischer's. </span></i><i><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;">Frankie Conway is often confused with another fighter who fought out of New York under the same name at about the same time whose real name was Frank Ferris. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">onway passed away in 1960. -<span

sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Kathleen “Kitty” Dempsey, a self-described “old rascal,” has no advice about how to live a long life, though it’s information nearly everyone tries to extract from her. “They always ask me that … [and] I don’t know,” she said in a recent interview. Whatever she’s done seems to work, however, because Dempsey turns 106 years old Thrusday, Feb. 15.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">After spending her life in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida, the centenarian currently lives at the Susan Bailis Assisted Living Center on Massachusetts Avenue near the border of the South End. In more than a century on this earth she’s had careers as a silk mill worker, a housekeeper and a popular coloratura soprano nightclub singer. Now, the 106-year-old finds herself enjoying her late years in Boston, what she considers the easiest years of her life.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“My earliest memories are not very nice,” Dempsey admitted. She was born on Feb. 15, 1901 in Selinsgrove, Pa. to George and Laura Lumbard, one of nine children (though four of her siblings came from her father’s second marriage). At the early age of six or seven, young Kathleen, who everyone called and continues to call Kitty, was struck with tragedy when her mother died. In the wake of her mother’s death, Kitty’s father “kept his kids together the best he could,” said Dempsey, but for the young girl, life turned hard. One of the oldest among her siblings, Kitty cared for her younger brothers and sisters and was sent to work at an early age. “I went to work before and after school in the silk mill,” she said. “We had a humble home. There was nothing rich about it; it was poor.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Dempsey never made it to college, though Selinsgrove is home to Susquehanna University. “God, no,” she said, when asked if she attended college. “I didn’t even start high school.” Dempsey stayed in school until about the eighth grade and said, “I’m an old lady and I don’t have too much brain.” In truth, the sharp-tongued 106-year-old may lack formal education, but she isn’t short on brains.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">In about 1919, at the young age of 18, Dempsey married her first husband, Marshall Hoffman, and moved with him to New Jersey. The marriage lasted about 23 years, until Hoffman passed away from tuberculosis.</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Some of Dempsey’s most vivid memories come from her time in New Jersey, where she worked at a nightclub selling cigarettes and, more impressively, as an attractive coloratura soprano dubbed the “Swedish Nightingale.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“I had quite a voice,” Dempsey admitted, adding that she had a solid group of fans. “I used to sing to the tables. People wanted me to sing to them, and they tipped me well.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“I had a job, and it was good money,” she said of her stint as a singer, though due to everything getting more expensive over time, “today they’d sneeze on” the $75 a week she made at the nightclub.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">After her first husband died, Kitty soon remarried William Dempsey and moved from New Jersey to Florida, where she lived until last year. When her second husband died, after 29 years of marriage, Kitty lived alone in a mobile home, quietly working in the homemaking business and sometimes making headlines.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Elaine and Robin Sheets, who first met Dempsey about 30 years ago in Florida and have remained friends ever since — Robin’s mother lived in a nearby mobile home — note that Dempsey’s feisty attitude sometimes surfaced. About 30 years ago, when Dempsey was in the prime of youth in her mid 70s, she found a stray dog and took the dog into her home, which was against the rules of the mobile home community. After arguments about the dog, management tried to kick Dempsey out of the community, but she didn’t budge. Not surprisingly, the matter became a great story for the local newspapers, and in the end Dempsey prevailed and got to keep her dog. Elaine Sheets noted that Depmsey has always loved animals.</span></div><div id="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><div id="content"><div id="300x250-Content" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></div></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Into old age, Dempsey remained involved in her civic association and her church choir. Only recently — about six or seven years ago — did she stop participating in her local crime watch group.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Living to be so old has its disadvantages, and over time Dempsey’s friends and supporters passed away or moved away. Unable to live in a Florida mobile home alone at the age of 105, Dempsey moved to the Susan Bailis Center last year, where she’s close to Elaine and Robin Sheets (Elaine is a native South Ender).</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“She’s very strong willed, very independent,” said Elaine about Dempsey, adding that the centenarian sometimes describes herself as “ornery” and says things like, “I’m so tough a pick axe wouldn’t even kill me.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“I didn’t have a good life; I had a life that was loving,” Dempsey said recently. Perhaps her tough life — seeing her mother and two husbands die, working hard every day — tempered her, like metal, into something durable that was destined to stick around. Dempsey explains her longevity in more philosophical terms, saying, “God didn’t want me; the Devil didn’t want me, so I just wandered around.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Asked if the world has changed for the better or the worse, Dempsey responded only about her own life here in Boston, saying, “I think that I’m living better than I ever have. I have an easier life. What I attribute it to, I don’t know.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">“Age doesn’t bother me a whole lot,” she said. Asked to provide advice to younger generations she said, “I always say work hard, because I had to work hard all my life.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Dempsey’s feisty personality has made her a minor celebrity at the Susan Bailis Center where, during her recent interview with South End News, more than one resident asked her to lunch.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Emily Sato, assistant social programs director at the Susan Bailis Center, said all the residents know Dempsey. “She’s a smart aleck,” Sato said. At 106, Dempsey gets around remarkably well with the help of a walker, but, noted Sato, “She’s very feisty. [Sometimes] she’ll throw down her walker and start walking by herself.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><div style="color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">For Dempsey’s 106th birthday party, held Feb. 15, the Susan Bailis Center planned an event for residents and friends that includes food, drinks and a performer. It was supposed to be a surprise party, but it’s difficult to surprise someone who’s been around, both in terms of years and experience, as long as Dempsey. “I don’t think I’m supposed to know it, but I do know it,” she said.</span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>2007 Kitty Died, age 106.</b></span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">9 Jul</span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Age: 106</span></div><div><br /></div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Name:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Kathleen Dempsey</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Last Residence:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">02155 Medford, Middlesex, Massachusetts</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">BORN:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>15 Feb 1901</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Died:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>9 Jul 2007</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"></span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">State (Year) SSN issued:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>New Jersey (Before 1951)</span><br /><div style="color: #333333;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Burial</b></span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">2007</span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">New Jersey, USA</span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Beside her husband William</span></div><div><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>Research:</b></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">"Recently I came into possession of Kathleen Lumbards family pictures and some correspondence about her family, she is right now 105 years old, 99% blind, and in a retirement facility located in sunrise florida.

Most of them own a few acres of land which they farm intensively…that is, they grow at least two crops on them annually. Much of the work in the fields is done by the women, assisted by the men in their spare time. Most men have a trade or business which they operate when their services are needed by fellow citizens. We have already mentioned the bakery and bicycle business. Then there are carpenters, blacksmiths, locksmiths, tinsmiths, basket makers, weavers, butchers, taverns and other occupations.</p><p style="text-align: center;">There is a cigar factory which employs mostly girls and buys the tobacco grown by local farmers. Many of the men and youths and young women work at their trade in nearby cities, travelling on bicycles and motorcycles.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The principal crops are wheat, (grown mostly for green fodder), turnips, sugar beets, cabbage, tomatoes, cauliflower, endive and head lettuce. There are many fruit trees - apples, pears, prunes and cherries.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Baden-Württemberg may be regarded as the one German Land in which economic life is dominated by middle-class businessmen and small farmers. Although such world-famous firms as Daimler-Benz started as small workshops in Stuttgart and Mannheim, there is virtually no heavy industry in the region. On the other hand, Baden-Württemberg is the centre for highly specialized mechanical and textile industries. The lack of valuable mineral and other deposits in Baden-Württemberg forces the population to earn its livelihood by the manufacture, improvement, and finishing of goods. Baden-Württemberg produces the majority of all the clocks, watches, and custom jewelry that originate in the country. Substantial amounts of Germany's leather goods, musical instruments, medical instruments, food and agricultural produce, cigars, and hardware are also produced in Baden-Württemberg.</p>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395832538112153558.post-46131604890168450762024-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:002024-03-05T08:59:28.014-08:00Johann Christophel [Christopher] Rothermal<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i>Heather's Paternal 8x Great Grandparents<br /></i></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Johann Christophel Rothermal</span></b><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i>Son Of: Peter & Anna Elisabeth [Weber] Rothermal</i><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Born: 1721<br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Died: 1782</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i>Married</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Julyanna Stempel</span></b><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i>Daughter Of</i><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Born: 1726<br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Died: 1795</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Children:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><b>Catharine Born Nov. 24 1745</b></div><div>Leonhard Born Oct 24 1750</div><div>Felicitas Born.

Sulouff © 2006-2009</div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />A 1776 immigrant, Johannes Zulauf, is the forefather of all SULOUFFs and nearly* all SULOFFs in America. He was shipped to America in the Knyphausen Regiment, which was contracted on 15 January 1776 by the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel to serve King George III of England in the latter's effort to extinguish an uprising in America. Both parties to that contract expected the use of massive military force would settle problems in the American colonies within the 1776 campaign period. Neither of the contracting parties anticipated it would take seven years before the conflict would eventuate in independence for the British colonies in America.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Johannes Zulauf was born in 1753 (computed from his gravestone in Old Church Hill Cemetery, near Port Royal, Juniata Co., Pa.). Exactly where he was born is still being researched. Here, in a nutshell, is the research accomplished to date (12/5/2009):</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A family oral tradition, remembered by a 3rd greatgrandaughter of the immigrant, Helen (Sulouff) Emminger (1915-1999), as she received the tradition from her grandfather, Oliver Burns Sulouff (1862-1947), states that Johannes was "from Elberfeld." A very old town named Elberfeld was located at the northernmost curve of the Wupper River north of Cologne, Germany. In 1929 this town was incorporated into the city of Wuppertal. A research hypothesis, held for many years, assumed this Elberfeld was probably Zulauf's hometown. More recent research renders that hypothesis unlikely: (1) searching for many months through microfilms of 18th-century Elberfeld church records has failed to provide support for the hypothesis and (2) this Elberfeld lies about 100 miles west of the recruiting area assigned to the Knyphausen Regiment in the mid-18th Century. In fact, recent research points to Alsfeld-Hattendorf as a more likely provenance for the immigrant, Johannes Zulauf. A tradition traced back to Johannes Zulauf's youngest daughter, Elizabeth (Zulauf) Noetling (1798?-1888) and passed down in an old handwritten note through six generations of Noetling descendants, states that Johannes' father was named Walter Zulauf and that he died during the Seven Years War. A submission made to the International Genealogical Index (IGI) since 1991 lists a Walter Zulauf born about 1722 in Alsfeld-Hattendorf to parents Adam and Anna Kunigunde (Stotz) Zulauf. The IGI listing also indicates that Walter's parents, both Adam and Anna, were born, married and died in Alsfeld-Hattendorf. This town was located on the southern border of the assigned Knyphausen recruiting area in 1776. So Alsfeld-Hattendorf now appears to be the most likely birthplace for our Johannes Zulauf.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />At this point, a noteworthy coincidence siezes our attention. A small village just over a mile southeast of Hattendorf, is today called Elbenrod. In some old records its name also appears as Elberod. In German the "-rod" ending signifies forest land cleared for farming. The "-feld" ending signifies a tilled or pastured field. So the family tradition from Helen Emminger that Johannes Zulauf came from "Elberfeld" might refer to the little village southeast of Hattendorf that is now known as Elbenrod. Perhaps Johannes called this town Elberfeld or Elberod when explaining, in German, the name of his hometown. Or perhaps Johannes wrote the town's name as Elbenfeld or Elbenrod and somewhere in transmission the name was transliterated incorrectly. Search continues at this writing (April 2009) for the mid-18th Century records of the evangelical (i.e., protestant) congregation(s?) in Hattendorf and Elbenrod . It has been learned that these records are preserved in the nearby Immechenhain evangelical parish, which in today's parish structure includes the evangelical congregation in Alsfeld-Hattendorf. (Today's picturesque evangelical church building in Hattendorf, built of sandstone, dates to 1856.)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPJ_y63xnSxL3uT-TY4cyB99_3DQCMsCSXRA4wrNnqrblRRJkQ-O1khnP-sMV4ADg4oAfoRfGVzxr9MHCeYe_G2KdLvVqytuen2pMyAJlUzzGba7PsWKdViScCIR9p9CgrxfGplPqYUKA5xOG-2LXqhp4FlDxDsdXu3JMlwMHFHbEpsUIN0XynlzGkCEY/s344/Knyphausen%20Flag.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="307" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPJ_y63xnSxL3uT-TY4cyB99_3DQCMsCSXRA4wrNnqrblRRJkQ-O1khnP-sMV4ADg4oAfoRfGVzxr9MHCeYe_G2KdLvVqytuen2pMyAJlUzzGba7PsWKdViScCIR9p9CgrxfGplPqYUKA5xOG-2LXqhp4FlDxDsdXu3JMlwMHFHbEpsUIN0XynlzGkCEY/s320/Knyphausen%20Flag.jpg" width="286" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Hessian military records reveal that Johannes Zulauf arrived in America at Staten Island on 15 August 1776 with the Minnegerode (3rd) Company of the Knyphausen Regiment. As a member of this company, he participated in the battles of Long Island, Brooklyn Heights, White Plains, and in seizing Fort Washington on New York Island (Manhattan). Between 28 November and 14 December 1776 he marched with his unit across Jersey and was stationed at Trenton in December 1776. His name appears on a list of those Hessians who successfully evaded capture when Washington's forces crossed the Delaware and raided Trenton the day after Christmas in 1776 (ref: Marburg 4h 328, 113 3a). The 753 Hessians who escaped at Trenton were re-outfitted and placed in a temporary unit called the "Combined Battalion." As a member of the Combined Battalion, Zulauf participated in the Philadelphia campaign: he was at the Battle of Brandywine; spent the winter of 1777-78 in Philadelphia; the next Spring was at the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse; and then returned to New York Island in July 1778. Here the Combined Battalion remained inactive for a little over a year while exchanged prisoners and new recruits from Hesse-Cassel were added back into their ranks. By the Fall of 1779 the Knyphausen Regiment was finally restored to full strength and the Combined Battalion was decomissioned. However, the Regimental colors, carried so proudly before the Battle Of Trenton, were not presented at recommissioning ceremonies. The Landgrave of Hesse, so mollified by the debacle that had befallen his troops in Trenton nearly three years earlier, insisted the units of the Kyyphausen Regiment should prove themselves in battle before he would restore their colors.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />On 8 September 1779, Johannes Zulauf, in the recommissioned Knyphausen Regiment, sailed out of New York harbor in a British flotilla headed for Canada to stave off an anticipated attack from the French (who had recently entered the war on the American side). It appeared the Regiment might soon have opportunity to prove themselves in battle and rid themselves of the humiliation of having no identifying colors to carry aloft during troop movements. Unfortunately, soon after leaving the Raritan Bay, the British flotilla was caught in an off-shore hurricane that scattered and battered the ships. Johannes' ship, a British brigantine named TRITON, was driven southward instead of northward. It lost both its masts and all its guns in the storm and was captured by American privateers off the Jersey coast on 26 September 1779. (Details of this sailing, the storm, and the capture of Hessians on board the TRITON are recorded in the extant journal composed by Captain Andreas Wiederhold, commanding officer of the company in which Johannes Zulauf served.) On the German list of prisoners taken off the ship in Little Egg Harbor, the name Johannes Zulauf is listed among four men categorized as "Dienbe" (Servants). Zulauf and fellow prisoners were marched hastily across Jersey and incarcerated in Philadelphia's Old Gaol. There, on an English list of the prisoners dated 11 October 1779, his name appears among four categorized as "Servants to Officers." From there the Hessian officers and servants were moved on wagons to Reading, Berks Co., arriving the evening of 15 October 1779.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiJugkblPbiqjKXgTie0k0KZmY3P_JVlariu_qfTsa26IGA1TgvQo3QwT_ahjY4PUNbR6bQoVGvbyNNqb4DYEhEKIsbnFKtoxzXO3rM3xzs9I59ESuoe6cQ-RUhh3tjJyD6GHFd7m923Qrsn6w2rve7sTb2kyig8AjmawqT5GXixg9g37UgFc-mE2Qh-s/s1088/Hessian%20Heritage.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="730" data-original-width="1088" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiJugkblPbiqjKXgTie0k0KZmY3P_JVlariu_qfTsa26IGA1TgvQo3QwT_ahjY4PUNbR6bQoVGvbyNNqb4DYEhEKIsbnFKtoxzXO3rM3xzs9I59ESuoe6cQ-RUhh3tjJyD6GHFd7m923Qrsn6w2rve7sTb2kyig8AjmawqT5GXixg9g37UgFc-mE2Qh-s/w410-h275/Hessian%20Heritage.png" width="410" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Read more about John Zulauf's service in the</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Knyphausen Regiment here: </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2024/02/journal-of-fusilier-regiment-v.html"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2024/02/journal-of-fusilier-regiment-v.html</span></a></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For over a year Johannes Zulauf was classified as a POW in Reading, during which time he and three other men served as attendants to the two Minnegerode Company officers, Captain Wiederhold and Lieutenant Breide. As officers' attendants, they would have been in the private employ of the officers, would essentially have been civilians with a pseudo-military status, and would not have worn military uniforms. Johannes' duty with these officers ended when the officers were exchanged and returned to New York Island (i.e. Manhattan) in November 1780, at which time Johannes remained in Reading. Between that time and 1783, his name appears on Hessian rosters with the consistent notation, "POW." Occasionally there is the additional notation, "location unknown."</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Family tradition received from Helen Eminger Sulouff, again citing her grandfather Sulouff as source, holds that Johannes was engaged as a scullery worker in a large red brick mansion at an iron furnace during the period of his transition from military to civilian status. Mrs. Emminger stated that in her younger days she travelled some distance with several family members to visit the site of this iron furnace and that, regretably, she could no longer remember its precise location. Johannes Zulauf's name does not appear on the rosters drawn up in the Summer of 1783 in preparation for return of the Hessians to their homeland.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Pastoral records and tax lists disclose what Johannes was doing instead of answering the musters that rounded up Hessian POWs for their return home. He had become married and a resident of Berks Co. His marriage record, written by German Reformed Pastor, William Boos, and dated 28 March 1783 (pastoral acts book preserved in the German Reformed Church Archives, Schaff Library, Lancaster, Pa.), states Johannes was then a resident of Brecknock Twp., Berks Co. His wife was Maria Margaretha Spahr, daughter of Johann Frederick and Anna Margaretha (Schnaeder) Spahr. According to tax records, the Spahrs were residents of Robeson Twp., adjacent to Brecknock Twp. Johannes' bride went by her middle name, Margaret. Her Spahr ancestry has been traced back to the late 15th C. in Germany and Switzerland (courtesy of the late Max Spahr, Pocatello ID). Tax records for 1783 and 1784 show Johannes became a resident of Robeson Twp., Berks Co. On these tax records his name is spelled "John Sulouf," the earliest known deviation from the earlier surname spellings, Zulauf and Zulauff. A surname spelled Zulauf, Zulauff, Sulouf, or any conceivable variant has not been found in the 1790 federal census. Moreover, efforts to identify the Zulauf family living within a household of known relatives in Berks County in 1790 have been unfruitful. No explanation is known for this lack of mention in the first federal census.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Johannes and his wife had at least a son, Jacob, and a daughter, Mary, born in Berks Co. before the family moved west across the Susquehanna River into the northern tip of York Co., Pa. in late 1791. A 1792 deed (preserved in Pennsylvania Archives, Harrisburg Pa.) shows that 142 acres in Newberry Twp., York Co., had been conveyed to Johannes Zulauf on 11 March 1791. Since ownership of this acreage was transferred from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we presume Johannes built the 2-story log house situated on the property. The house is still in use at 471 Ironstone Road, which now lies in Fairview Twp., York Co. The old log house now serves as the front portion of a frame building that triples the size of the original residence.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbNwpDwUmrqLFYDu9IbGnWjVvrDxQxtY_KB5s2p6zAZHU-m1xb0eOwlNLmhnFe8Om2AXUIXiBjmGDw_nVVPALRMqp2dxpaT1AH2mGFR6_TV3y2JraNE5TVTT1WYi8SjKBIY-b-gkLflv7wjYW8UY679j8B6EhNR6fnH5FZf_VfyDkYOeJlUTIqcVLW6ay/s500/JZHouse4Web.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="355" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbNwpDwUmrqLFYDu9IbGnWjVvrDxQxtY_KB5s2p6zAZHU-m1xb0eOwlNLmhnFe8Om2AXUIXiBjmGDw_nVVPALRMqp2dxpaT1AH2mGFR6_TV3y2JraNE5TVTT1WYi8SjKBIY-b-gkLflv7wjYW8UY679j8B6EhNR6fnH5FZf_VfyDkYOeJlUTIqcVLW6ay/w403-h568/JZHouse4Web.jpg" width="403" /></span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> The 1798 federal 'glass' tax lists the Zulauf house at this location as 18'x15' and the barn as 31'x20'. The barn no longer exists but an old barn bank, located about 40 yards northwest of the house, confirms where the barn had been located. Since this property appears in the 1798 federal 'glass' tax listing, the house would have had glass panes in the windows rather than the translucent window coverings of vellum or oiled paper which, at that date, were more frequently used for homes built in that area. In the late 1990's, this writer was kindly invited by the current owner to tour inside the house. Windows in the front parlor were observed to have prominent bubbles in the glass panes, most likely dating from original construction. The room's walls were rough, reflecting the wild grape vines typically used as laths to secure plaster on interior walls of homes in that era. The 1800 federal census shows Johannes with wife, five boys, and four girls in the Zulauf household at this location.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />It is evident that the Zulauf family worked hard and lived frugally: they accumulated some measure of wealth over the ten years spent on this York Co. farm. In 1802 Johannes purchased 206-acres of farmland for 600 pounds Sterling (about $3000), without encumbrance, in (then) Mifflin Co. Pa., near the village of (then) Perrysville. (The deed, preserved in the Mifflin Co. PA courthouse, shows the Zulauf surname erroneously spelled Zuliff.) When Juniata Co. was taken off of Mifflin Co. in 1831, the Zulauf farm came into Juniata Co. and in 1843 Perrysville was renamed Port Royal. In this locality, except for the signature on his will, Johannes Zulauf consistently used the name "John Sulouff" and that is the name inscribed on his gravestone. The name of this family appears as "Suloff" on a list of those who, in 1803, established the first German Lutheran Church in the area, located at what has come to be known as "Old Church Hill," about two miles southeast of Port Royal. (Ref: History Of That Part Of Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys....; 1886: Philadelphia, footnote p. 804).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Numerous court documents related to settlement of the Zulauf estate, dated between 1838 and 1850, paint a picture of life on the farm in Juniata Co. The farm stretched for 226.5 perches (3737 ft.) along the Tuscarora Creek, which defined its southern boundary, and then the irregular eastern boundary stretched for a distance of about 280 perches uphill to its northernmost corner. Its boundaries and fields were marked off by split-rail fences fashioned from wood secured "on the place." Lower portions of the farm along the Tuscarora Creek were subject to flooding each Spring, damaging rail fences and crops. There was a hand-dug well under roof that provided water for the family and, customarily, there would have been a second dug well near the barn. A springhouse was erected over a spring where items that required cooling were stored. Next to the house was a sizeable truckpatch, surrounded by a "pale" fence, for growing vegetables. There was a 100-tree apple orchard and a cider press. Beekeeping equipment in the inventory indicates they kept bees and had their own honey. Items listed in the estate inventory show that crops raised included wheat, rye, hay, corn, oats, hops, and clover seed. Livestock included chickens, horses, cows, pigs and sheep. Cobbler tools in the inventory suggest Johannes may have made shoes, or at least repaired them. The lot of equipment and tools in the inventory for both farm and house indicate this household was virtually self-sustaining, typical of the pioneer farming families who settled in this region in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. (Ref: 26 documents preserved in Johannes Zulauf Estate File, Juniata Co. Courthouse, Mifflinburg PA)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20-v5AEuLP1IU1dVf3i020_-Q4JXxyvCikDMdlyuCz3FHm8HusalOtAN7CTohjokyoWAyy7X33TFWjHbs7h3lfreqEKHudtIzEgxwxOYd1nFWPuyTHkBe9P3V8d7-WP6sKyRtvddjV0ftetcNmPVUCsvOVur1ulYvoabJgFYXCkzF9gWixXEb-qxyc1F-/s692/NewMemorialinOldChCem.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="692" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20-v5AEuLP1IU1dVf3i020_-Q4JXxyvCikDMdlyuCz3FHm8HusalOtAN7CTohjokyoWAyy7X33TFWjHbs7h3lfreqEKHudtIzEgxwxOYd1nFWPuyTHkBe9P3V8d7-WP6sKyRtvddjV0ftetcNmPVUCsvOVur1ulYvoabJgFYXCkzF9gWixXEb-qxyc1F-/w513-h296/NewMemorialinOldChCem.jpg" width="513" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Four sons and four daughters born to John and Margaret Sulouff married and had children. About half of their sons and grandsons simplified their surnames from SULOUFF to SULOFF. Daughters married men named KUNKLE, SHULTZ, WISE, and NOETLING. At this update on 8/19/2010, the family historian has information on ten generations, including 2438 descendants and 1218 spouses of descendants. John Sulouff wrote his will in 1828 and signed it "Johannes Zulauf" (preserved in estate file, Juniata Co. courthouse, Mifflinburg PA). He died 23 May 1838 and is buried in the churchyard of Old Church Hill Lutheran Church, Port Royal, Juniata Co. PA. His wife, Margaret, died in 1841 and is buried by his side in Row 15. A memorial plaque, erected in 2006 by this writer, has been placed between their headstones. Three of their children are also buried nearby in Row 15, and this old churchyard contains graves of quite a number of later descendants. Today there are SULOUFF and SULOFF families still living in the Juniata River Valley. Recorded descendants are found living around the U.S.A. from Florida to Oregon and from California to Massachusetts. A few descendants live permanently abroad: one descendant family is known to be in its fourth generation in England and another is known to be in its third generation in Australia. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>*US Census records 1900-1930 include names of a dozen SULOFFs, a few of whom are shown to be 20th C. immigrants from Russia and the remainder are immediate descendants of these new immigrants. We conclude the concurrence of surnames is purely coincidental and that this small, new SULOFF clan cannot be descendants of the 1776 American immigrant, Johannes Zulauf.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">=============================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUoutEwAjgPIUJ3HS-GOYsK7HJKlC1VQTAaMsJu29nWevZVUMMaZCTwvhlBR1cgHCDaYHvnhmANjpkPMZKFBAjKTjy4i-gmlVKaSCH__iBE_4Z-50ImwSUfSOT6uF0eMXC1X290cnioIB6v4ClLYiDZxPmly3IxXk-WhgWhrHn3Zb_NcMhFZiWSGn7mAt/s2048/429885994_785689240265038_1449648417781451520_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1529" height="530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUoutEwAjgPIUJ3HS-GOYsK7HJKlC1VQTAaMsJu29nWevZVUMMaZCTwvhlBR1cgHCDaYHvnhmANjpkPMZKFBAjKTjy4i-gmlVKaSCH__iBE_4Z-50ImwSUfSOT6uF0eMXC1X290cnioIB6v4ClLYiDZxPmly3IxXk-WhgWhrHn3Zb_NcMhFZiWSGn7mAt/w396-h530/429885994_785689240265038_1449648417781451520_n.jpg" width="396" /></span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The above biographical sketch is essentially a concise version and updating of material included in earlier works by the same author. In the 1996 Journal Of The Johannes Schwalm Historical Association, Vol. 5, No. 4, the author published the journal's 20-page lead article, Part One of "Johannes Zulauf, Soldier-Immigrant." In the 1997 issue of the same journal, Vol. 6, No. 1, he published Part Two under the same title (pp. 17-37). Part Two focused on 58-years of the immigrant soldier's life as a civilian in Pennsylvania. The author's book, A SULOUFF AND SULOFF FAMILY HISTORY, published in 2001 with a revision and enlargement to 801 pages in 2003, includes additional information and research on the subject.

He intuitively understood and adopted the concepts and fundamentals of math, science and art; and nothing was ever discarded that could be repaired, recycled or repurposed.<br />He was revered as "one of the smartest men I knew", and a "Straight A Student" from start to finish, receiving numerous academic accolades. Among his earliest personal favorites is the Rensselaer Medal, a prestigious award presented to a single student in any given high school to recognize that student's strength and success in the fields of mathematics and science. Later accomplishments included the Bronze Star with "V" medal for action in Korea (1951-1952), ordination as a Lutheran Minister, Professorships at Princeton University and Gettysburg College, and retirement from the United States Navy as a senior Chaplain with over 24 combined years of military service to his country.<br />Since retiring in 1989, and settling in Oro Valley, AZ, he dedicated himself to his church, his community and genealogical research resulting in publications now being used extensively by other researchers of history and genealogy. He also enjoyed the spectacular and ever changing views of nearby mountains, desert wildlife, spirited games of Bocce Ball and grooming numerous flowers and plants on the back patio.<br />Nelson is survived by Dr. Kilja Choe Sulouff, loving wife and partner of nearly 50 years; daughter Letha (Sulouff) Welch and two sons Nathan and David from his earlier marriage to Marion (Treon) Sulouff of Watsontown, PA.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">============================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div> 10 February 2000 </div><div>ANCESTORS OF NELSON RAYMOND SULOUFF</div><div><div><i>The scheme for the Ahnentafel numbers on the left is that a father's</i></div><div><i>number is double the child's, and a mother's number is double the</i></div><div><i>child's, plus o</i></div></div><div><br /></div><div>1.

Other German principalities including, Brunswick, Anhalt-Zerbst, Anspach-Bayruth, and Waldeck, contributed troops for service in America, in all around 30,000 men. These soldiers were not mercenaries in the usual sense of the term since they did not offer their services in return for money or booty. They were troops who served under their own officers following an agreement or "treaty" between Great Britain and the rulers of the German principalities. Each German ruler received payment from Britain in return for the services performed by his soldiers.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUbwBaQgKKMSkblRGJ0-LElU_j8_hd6E5-zRzf-oxNOqr5C2CVaTNl_37ZJQka5XaLgx2-bAB1_qFw7rBDTeR5dKVQUEHMH721LIkNc1LiP5zIwjsnQvXovufch4mpi7qNBmw16MKQG9gGwAey-ZacP6u7ESCf2AytuP-UIrxVNXIG03FUk03ryL8gfgLe/s384/0049photo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUbwBaQgKKMSkblRGJ0-LElU_j8_hd6E5-zRzf-oxNOqr5C2CVaTNl_37ZJQka5XaLgx2-bAB1_qFw7rBDTeR5dKVQUEHMH721LIkNc1LiP5zIwjsnQvXovufch4mpi7qNBmw16MKQG9gGwAey-ZacP6u7ESCf2AytuP-UIrxVNXIG03FUk03ryL8gfgLe/s320/0049photo.jpg" width="278" /></span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Drawing of the uniforms of Hessian troops, Von Knyphausen Regiment, Rall's Brigade - 1776.

There were no precedents to follow and the logistics of the operation was learned as they went along. During boarding it was learned that the ships assembled at Bremerlehe were insufficient to carry the entire First Division, so the troops ended up sailing in two separate convoys. As a consequence, 3-2/3 companies of the Knyphausen departed Bremerlehe on 17 April and the remaining 154 men of the Knyphausen sailed in a hastily organized second convoy out of the mouth of the Weser River on 18 May. The two convoys joined up outside New York (Raritan) Bay on 12 August, and the Knyphausen Regiment was set ashore on Staten Island on 15 August 1776. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">For the next four months the Mirbach Brigade was engaged in the campaigns of Long Island, the New York mainland, New York (Manhattan) Island, and New Jersey.

He was one of the 753 soldiers who evaded capture by Washington's army that day, and before the end of December these remnants of the Rall Brigade were mustered into a temporary unit called the "Combined Battalion."</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The Combined Battalion went into garrison on New York Island for a month of rehabilitation, and by early February 1777 the unit was once again fit for duty. During the summer campaign season of 1777, the new battalion sailed out of New York Bay with about 18,000 British and German troops on about 250 ships headed for Philadelphia. Access to Philadelphia was denied by a chain of fireboats across the Delaware, so they sailed around to the Chesapeake and disembarked on the north bank of the Elk River. Zulauf, in the Combined Battalion, was among those assigned to cross the Elk and move east along the southern shores of the river, foraging for livestock and food to sustain the invading army during their march against Philadelphia.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> During the battle of the Brandywine, the Combined guarded the supply wagons, after which they were engaged in holding Wilmington as a hospital and supply point. After Philadelphia was secured by the main force, the Combined moved to the Schuylkill River and crossed to the Philadelphia side in the early hours of 23 October. They spent the winter in Philadelphia, then marched across New Jersey, were engaged in protecting the supply train during the battle of Monmouth, marched on to Sandy Point, sailed across the Bay and reached New York Island the second week of July 1778. The year following their return to New York was uneventful.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The Knyphausen Regiment was reconstituted in the Summer of 1779, and the second week of September it was shipped out of New York in a convoy headed for Canada to oppose the French. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The fleet ran into a hurricane, and on 26 September 1779 the entire Knyphausen Regiment was captured at sea aboard storm-damaged ships. Zulauf was among those POWs who were put ashore at Little Egg Harbor in Jersey, held briefly in Philadelphia, and then were sent on to Reading in Berks Co. PA. With hostilities finally ended four years later, the units of the Knyphausen Regiment were rounded up, marched to New York, from which they sailed for their homeland on 15 August 1783. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">However, the name of Johannes Zulauf was not on the roster of those who sailed. He was back in Berks Co. with his bride of six months. He had found what he wanted in this fledgling new nation. He spent the remainder of his life as a Pennsylvania farmer. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Johannes Zulauf changed his name to Sulouff in the beginning of the 19th Century and became the founding patriarch of a singular family with two spellings for their surname, Sulouff and Suloff. All persons with these surnames are descended from Johannes Zulauf, one of some 6000 immigrant Hessian</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">soldiers who chose to remain in North America after the Revolutionary War.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBU-TL36cYCMyzKBZdyRYsQmOhyphenhyphenuG7KRkf5jOy9kpOdu2dDC_YwyV9OLlhWOLyapo0AfUCKbrSgXtkWshrJdkpyGcSGAztviJ1WjDP8ZWKAIiy_wBLq1aJlaEIbK4rcxFFhxrV1sXlq4D8Nl8o9hkAi_UxXtfPSY3m4k1C5INa-Ots8lbd9p6AepFfb9fT/s756/germanflg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="756" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBU-TL36cYCMyzKBZdyRYsQmOhyphenhyphenuG7KRkf5jOy9kpOdu2dDC_YwyV9OLlhWOLyapo0AfUCKbrSgXtkWshrJdkpyGcSGAztviJ1WjDP8ZWKAIiy_wBLq1aJlaEIbK4rcxFFhxrV1sXlq4D8Nl8o9hkAi_UxXtfPSY3m4k1C5INa-Ots8lbd9p6AepFfb9fT/w648-h154/germanflg.jpg" width="648" /></span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Extractions Journal of the Fusilier Regiment v.

The enemy had erected a fort on a high rocky elevation, which seemed fortified by nature itself, which they called Fort "Washington. Human skill had also been employed to make it very strong. Without possession of this fort we could not keep up communication with New York, nor could we think of advancing any farther, much less get quiet winter-quarters. <i>-</i></span><span style="text-align: center;"><i>Wiederhold Diary</i></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;">11 November. — At 5 o'clock in the morning the entire division of his Ex.

Howe arrived with the entire army and camped about a mile in the rear of us. Now another plan was made, and 16 November. — was fixed upon for the attack. At half past five in the morning, we passed over King's Bridge with the following regiments: Knyphausen, Theyne, Bienau, Ball, Lossberg and Waldeck, which were joined by Wutgenau and the grenadier battalion Kohler, and all formed in two columns. The right column consisted of the regiments Wutgenau, Knyphausen, Theyne and Bienau, and was led by Maj.-Gen. Schmidt; the whole attack was commanded by his Ex. Li-Gen. von Knyphausen. The latter at all times could be found in the thickest of the fight, where resistance and attack was the hottest, and he tore down the fences with his own hands to urge the men on. He was also exposed like a common soldier to the frightful cannon and shrapnell-fire, as well as to the rifle shots, and it is wonderful that he came off without being killed or wounded. The advance-guard on the right consisted of a body of Jagers and 100 men, which was commanded by the Major von Dechow. The advance-guard of the left column consisted of 100 men commanded by Oapt. von Medern, of the regiment "Wutgenau, and with this body I went, as well as Lt. Lowenfeld. Both the captain and his lieutenant are dead ; the latter was killed on the spot, the former died the next day. But I am still alive, thanks be to God ! and have escaped unhurt, but for a little scratch in my face caused by a broken twig, although I led the van of this advance-guard, a body of thirty men. Here I thought of the old proverb, Weeds are never hurt — " Unkraut vergeht nicht." At 7 o'clock a violent cannonade was begun to divert the attention of the enemy, so that they should not know where the real attack was to be made. If we had continued in our charge at that time, we would not have suffered one third as great a loss as we did later on ; for I was already nearly halfway up the hillside with my vanguard when Gen. Knyphausen sent me an order to retire. Gen. Howe had sent word to Gen. Knyphausen that as everything was not ready that was needed for the feigned attack, therefore, they were to delay the real one. At half past 7 o'clock the English Gen. Lord Percy with two English and one Hessian brigades under Maj. Gen. von Stirn (the Erbpring, Donop and Mirbaeh) attacked the lines which were between the fort and New York, and took them without any heavy loss as they had only two wounded, and the rebels left their lines. At 11 o'clock the boats with two brigades of English came down Harlem creek in order to make a landing near the woods on the left to make a feigned attack. At this moment the real attack was begun near us, and we stood facing their crack troops and their riflemen all on this almost inaccessible rock which lay before us, surrounded by swamps and three earthworks, one above the other. In spite of this every obstacle was swept aside, the earthworks broken through, the swamps waded, the precipitous rocks scaled and the riflemen were driven out of their breastworks, from where they had been <span><i>-</i></span><span style="text-align: center;"><i>Wiederhold Diary</i></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: center;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTlirVumVNxOPO1e3aUlXeh2yYlRDjjkJcqsXHIwMFFW0qO19aLP_VUDchyphenhyphen4AgNibczEFw6O-2lmuheCf9mEEm_v8iAbNsKdUzUDdykBFHyVneUgz6evidbJ6kJlvgOuEgIrS3BwIGs5foks8IuS5wu8I5d7e4ott8w-TLRGNcmDjaK0Wr4nz8JuDbiJu/s496/wiederholds%20plan.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="496" height="513" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTlirVumVNxOPO1e3aUlXeh2yYlRDjjkJcqsXHIwMFFW0qO19aLP_VUDchyphenhyphen4AgNibczEFw6O-2lmuheCf9mEEm_v8iAbNsKdUzUDdykBFHyVneUgz6evidbJ6kJlvgOuEgIrS3BwIGs5foks8IuS5wu8I5d7e4ott8w-TLRGNcmDjaK0Wr4nz8JuDbiJu/w610-h513/wiederholds%20plan.jpg" width="610" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><i><br /></i></span><p></p></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>16 Nov: Knyphausen led attack on Fort Washington.

There we seated ourselves at the side of the precipitous mountain to protect ourselves from the cannonade from the fort. But only our Regiment and that of Rail were here. The fort was summoned to surrender, and half an hour later 2600 men came marching out of it, laid their rifles down at our feet and surrendered as prisoners of war to his Ex. Lt-Gen. von Knyphausen, who was present and signed the capitulation. The entire fort with all stores of ammunition and provisions, which were considerable, was handed over to us. </span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The grenadier-battalion Kohler occupied the fort in the evening and we went back to our camp, where all those who were well, once more had cause enough to thank God for their preservation.

Among the dead were : Captain Walther of Rail's regiment and Lieutenant Lowenfeld of the Wutgenau ; mortally wounded were Captain Barkhausen, of the Knyphausen and Colonel von Bork of the same regiment.

The enemy had erected a fort on a high rocky elevation, which seemed fortified by nature itself, which they called Fort "Washington. Human skill had also been employed to make it very strong. Without possession of this fort we could not keep up communication with New York, nor could we think of advancing any farther, much less get quiet winter-quarters. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">11 November. — At 5 o'clock in the morning the entire division of his Ex.

Howe arrived with the entire army and camped about a mile in the rear of us. Now another plan was made, and 16 November. — was fixed upon for the attack. At half past five in the morning, we passed over King's Bridge with the following regiments: Knyphausen, Theyne, Bienau, Ball, Lossberg and Waldeck, which were joined by Wutgenau and the grenadier battalion Kohler, and all formed in two columns. The right column consisted of the regiments Wutgenau, Knyphausen, Theyne and Bienau, and was led by Maj.-Gen. Schmidt; the whole attack was commanded by his Ex. Li-Gen. von Knyphausen. The latter at all times could be found in the thickest of the fight, where resistance and attack was the hottest, and he tore down the fences with his own hands to urge the men on. He was also exposed like a common soldier to the frightful cannon and shrapnell-fire, as well as to the rifle shots, and it is wonderful that he came off without being killed or wounded. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZlCp3JTuMV46UN6OzdXD-3wHvULmZmSGQGtggrRI9cC_X9fcQgI2oPcf0m7R6HqXYR4abOWW9pBXTAaPXB5Yf-x018IJ-j1mS1ZCat-XcBFaYSnn7p5jJ891mHggIUIQEdJfvLOK3JgoYwc1jVEUmulOWKd2_uVdbJFffTaKwoJjAk520rkoT5GFKDaQd/s2185/20085840_0002.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2185" data-original-width="1289" height="733" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZlCp3JTuMV46UN6OzdXD-3wHvULmZmSGQGtggrRI9cC_X9fcQgI2oPcf0m7R6HqXYR4abOWW9pBXTAaPXB5Yf-x018IJ-j1mS1ZCat-XcBFaYSnn7p5jJ891mHggIUIQEdJfvLOK3JgoYwc1jVEUmulOWKd2_uVdbJFffTaKwoJjAk520rkoT5GFKDaQd/w433-h733/20085840_0002.png" width="433" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The advance-guard on the right consisted of a body of Jagers and 100 men, which was commanded by the Major von Dechow.

Both the captain and his lieutenant are dead ; the latter was killed on the spot, the former died the next day. But I am still alive, thanks be to God ! and have escaped unhurt, but for a little scratch in my face caused by a broken twig, although I led the van of this advance-guard, a body of thirty men. Here I thought of the old proverb, Weeds are never hurt — " Unkraut vergeht nicht." At 7 o'clock a violent cannonade was begun to divert the attention of the enemy, so that they should not know where the real attack was to be made. If we had continued in our charge at that time, we would not have suffered one third as great a loss as we did later on ; for I was already nearly halfway up the hillside with my vanguard when Gen. Knyphausen sent me an order to retire. Gen. Howe had sent word to Gen. Knyphausen that as everything was not ready that was needed for the feigned attack, therefore, they were to delay the real one. At half past 7 o'clock the English Gen. Lord Percy with two English and one Hessian brigades under Maj. Gen. von Stirn (the Erbpring, Donop and Mirbaeh) attacked the lines which were between the fort and New York, and took them without any heavy loss as they had only two wounded, and the rebels left their lines. At 11 o'clock the boats with two brigades of English came down Harlem creek in order to make a landing near the woods on the left to make a feigned attack. At this moment the real attack was begun near us, and we stood facing their crack troops and their riflemen all on this almost inaccessible rock which lay before us, surrounded by swamps and three earthworks, one above the other. In spite of this every obstacle was swept aside, the earthworks broken through, the swamps waded, the precipitous rocks scaled and the riflemen were driven out of their breastworks, from where they had been </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSktFRy2ppk5TDWwjXJxAW20gI8wSWJ1oKGSGJK14JyK6zA_jl9s6Uvbyif5Fe9Nqq2jzKLMsUOyDLspNtBONTO2XpMLN_zR-g8f4aaB_zenJ3NG3jZ2R0onnj8pxJktjjmI0h3f6ncIrt2Z1HthPcRQSSt5Ur-b0SuG06_vb5JP7pI-YUJUR8h1OuzoBz/s2048/20085840_0003.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1353" height="698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSktFRy2ppk5TDWwjXJxAW20gI8wSWJ1oKGSGJK14JyK6zA_jl9s6Uvbyif5Fe9Nqq2jzKLMsUOyDLspNtBONTO2XpMLN_zR-g8f4aaB_zenJ3NG3jZ2R0onnj8pxJktjjmI0h3f6ncIrt2Z1HthPcRQSSt5Ur-b0SuG06_vb5JP7pI-YUJUR8h1OuzoBz/w460-h698/20085840_0003.png" width="460" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">seconded by their artillery — and we gained this terrible height, pursued the enemy who were retreating behind the lines and batteries ; routed them there also, took the batteries, one of which lay on the very top of the rock, and we followed the fleeing enemy to the fort proper. There we seated ourselves at the side of the precipitous mountain to protect ourselves from the cannonade from the fort. But only our Regiment and that of Rail were here. The fort was summoned to surrender, and half an hour later 2600 men came marching out of it, laid their rifles down at our feet and surrendered as prisoners of war to his Ex. Lt-Gen. von Knyphausen, who was present and signed the capitulation. The entire fort with all stores of ammunition and provisions, which were considerable, was handed over to us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The grenadier-battalion Kohler occupied the fort in the evening and we went back to our camp, where all those who were well, once more had cause enough to thank God for their preservation. The loss of the Hessians in dead and wounded amounted to more than 300. Among the dead were : Captain Walther of Rail's regiment and Lieutenant Lowenfeld of the Wutgenau ; mortally wounded were Captain Barkhausen, of the Knyphausen and Colonel von Bork of the same regiment. Captain von Medern of the Wutgenau; Colonel von Bork and Lieutenant Briede died the same day, all the rest on the second or third day after.

Their purpose was to register and regulate the coats of arms of nobility, gentry and boroughs, and to record pedigrees. They took place from 1530 to 1688, and their records (akin to an upper class census) provide important source material for historians and genealogists</span></span><span lang="en-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395832538112153558.post-64718170950761440982024-02-18T16:15:00.000-08:002024-02-18T16:42:31.775-08:00The Statement Of James Gregson<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2wNGBBNWi_2ztgAoOYsAOjcL38SPnlDV9K-gRSbwPAaIYSR7_rpcEGHOqvuHEMJXia8hStT3mbgFIxk19rbH-ss1uLRrebZzS6_8EI_agPFTl1J9phR5dEyR5JjYwNJ1PaNEYNO4ifD5KW9bAQOxCW-bPLgBY6z0gtoa_qTTV_CbifKJoUqdhBhoD3CR/s1926/James%20Henry%20Gregson.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1926" data-original-width="1248" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2wNGBBNWi_2ztgAoOYsAOjcL38SPnlDV9K-gRSbwPAaIYSR7_rpcEGHOqvuHEMJXia8hStT3mbgFIxk19rbH-ss1uLRrebZzS6_8EI_agPFTl1J9phR5dEyR5JjYwNJ1PaNEYNO4ifD5KW9bAQOxCW-bPLgBY6z0gtoa_qTTV_CbifKJoUqdhBhoD3CR/w317-h490/James%20Henry%20Gregson.jpg" width="317" /></a></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>In 1876, James Gregson was asked to give a statement about his life, for a History Of Sonoma County, which was published in 1880<br /><br />Having traveled by wagon to Fort Sutter, participating in the Bear Flag Revolt, camping with the Donner Party Survivors, and finding gold that started the gold rush.. he had plenty to contribute to a history volume.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />So did his wife. Although she wasn't asked, she penned her own "Memory", that can be read here: <a href="https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2024/02/elizas-memory-eliza-gregson.html">https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2024/02/elizas-memory-eliza-gregson.html</a><br /><br />The dictated “Statement of James Gregson” was sent by Robert A. Thompson, editor of the Sonoma Democrat, to Hubert Howe Bancroft, on April 16, 1876, with a letter requesting compensation for the clerical work involved.<br /><br />James Gregson's “Statement” follows the general outline of his wife's account but gives fewer family details. A fair amount of attention is given to his experiences as a soldier, his land warrant for service, and his work with James Wilson Marshall, the discoverer of gold.<br />Of the two manuscripts, the “Statement” is the better written, probably because it was dictated to Thompson. Since it is a transcription and not Gregson's own writing, the spelling and punctuation have occasionally been corrected.

There was in our train about thirty wagons and perhaps—persons including men, women and children.*</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKjNvvnztJ1HciYpV1G_LOo_gzhy4H9MZPD_vS2tktWLWe_21-c3Q0XkXxbbYvPzxrdBckGPfecGc1_zcm1voigV0TNeHkBwrjJvkMdcX17IaKGv38Uh5FrAoDkSVm8i8ClFrsolSYhKFb92wWI2kZiFP3GUaaY1i-SBeHhaLTH3Iztq-VLdPpqQwfTdBU/s860/Fort%20Hall_Place%20Wide.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="265" data-original-width="860" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKjNvvnztJ1HciYpV1G_LOo_gzhy4H9MZPD_vS2tktWLWe_21-c3Q0XkXxbbYvPzxrdBckGPfecGc1_zcm1voigV0TNeHkBwrjJvkMdcX17IaKGv38Uh5FrAoDkSVm8i8ClFrsolSYhKFb92wWI2kZiFP3GUaaY1i-SBeHhaLTH3Iztq-VLdPpqQwfTdBU/w599-h185/Fort%20Hall_Place%20Wide.jpg" width="599" /></a></div><i><span face="Arimo, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #444444; font-size: 15.6px; text-align: start;">Fort Hall is built on the Oregon Trail fourteen miles norwhest of Pocatello, Idaho, by former fur trader, Nathaniel J.

The lumber was to build a schooner on the headwaters of the Cosumnes River, fifty miles from the Fort. We cut a good deal of lumber. While there an Indian came in who had never seen a white man; he had a hat made like their baskets and all covered with feathers. I traded him a white shirt for it, and afterwards traded it to a Mormon for a horse. We went in to the Fort in the fall of 1845. Captain Sutter sent for us, and the lumber got to the Fort a few days before Christmas. He gave us $30 a thousand for lumber payable in goods.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />We then entered into a contract with Mr. Hardy who owned a great estate at the mouth of the<br />Feather River where the town of Sacramento was.* We stayed with him three months, doing general farm work and living in a tule shanty. I only stayed there three months and then went back to Sutter's Fort. Hardy fell off of a schooner in Suisun Bay and was drowned.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />I went to work digging a ditch for Captain Sutter with Henry Marshall, at $2.50 a rod, a foot wide at the top and four feet deep, and two feet at the bottom. *</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPsf3HthX0g0Ejs7M7kE9yQqDOiFvWrDuv56QkArN2xsy0mtcjY_1AJ5VVJwVHVumljkGFU41SdBP9TSfk4BNDf3Zlqt8zSeH_SQHVc0sr7QEU-igJFHZP085Nh5Wb4G1c_SBj_1xPrI53sEb2uFD9U5T50CeRu41QbWtwAPHh60Fi38uGhq90ykHOB5Oe/s500/ssf.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="500" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPsf3HthX0g0Ejs7M7kE9yQqDOiFvWrDuv56QkArN2xsy0mtcjY_1AJ5VVJwVHVumljkGFU41SdBP9TSfk4BNDf3Zlqt8zSeH_SQHVc0sr7QEU-igJFHZP085Nh5Wb4G1c_SBj_1xPrI53sEb2uFD9U5T50CeRu41QbWtwAPHh60Fi38uGhq90ykHOB5Oe/w551-h336/ssf.jpg" width="551" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>James and Eliza resided in the buiddling in the foreground, at Sutters Fort</i></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> We worked at this Fort until the war began. When we first came in we heard that Sutter was favorable to the Americans. Then I went to work for the Captain at anything he wanted.

After it was read Sutter told us to stand by him and he would stand by us.*</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Frémont came to the Fort in February 1846. In the fight with the Klamath Indians Captain Gillespie killed an Indian with a coat of mail made of wood slats and a warp of sinew.

Ide, who had decided to emulate the Texans by revolting against California's Mexican government. They later made and raised an improvised flag featuring a grizzly bear that some viewers mistook for a pig. Instead of resisting, Vallejo, who favored the American takeover of California, invited the rebels inside his quarters in the Casa Grande for a meal and drinks. The Americans proceeded to get drunk while negotiating with Vallejo a letter of capitulation that guaranteed that neither Vallejo nor his family would be taken prisoner, which he unopposedly signed. However, when the agreement was presented to those outside they refused to endorse it. Rather than releasing the Mexican officers under parole they insisted they be held as hostages. Although Vallejo was sympathetic to the advent of American rule, he deemed the perpetrators of the Bear Flag Revolt to be mere lowlife rabble. </span><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was at Sutter's Fort when Vallejo and the Bear Flag prisoners [were there and] took my regular turn as a guard of the prisoners. I had been enlisted into the services of the United States for three months at $12 per month. [When I] guarded the men they all appeared quiet. We used to take them out to exercise—Bob Ridley, J. P. Leese, Victor Prudon, Salvador and General Vallejo—then stood guard over them. I stayed there until they were released on parole. Then I enlisted in the California Battalion in Captain Brown's Company and went down to meet Frémont at Monterey. We had no trouble until we got to San Juan South. We had twelve Walla Walla Indians along, Captain Burris [Charles Burroughs] in command.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />We saw the long glittering lances of the Mexicans as we got into the plain. We were joined about this time by Captain Weaver [Charles M. Weber] and thirty men which gave us about sixty men. The sun was about an hour high when the fight began. We had eight hundred head of horses and four pieces of artillery. We put the horses in the corral at the Gomez ranch and left a dozen men to guard them and took part and fought two hundred Mexicans with fifty men. We formed in line and counted off. Captain Burris [Burroughs] said for No. 1 to fire while No. 2 was to hold his fire, but we soon got mixed up and fired on the Indians who were in advance and fell back, and the Mexicans charged us boldly and we give them the best we had and charged at them. I was close to Burris [Burroughs] when he fell, the captain of the Mexicans killed him, he rode up close to him, and fired, I thought with a pistol. Burris [Burroughs] was killed before we could get him to the rear. We lost a man named Ames and Billy the Cooper of Weaver's [Weber's] Company, and Foster who was a lieutenant. All killed with musket balls or pistols. *</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />After the charge we held the ground. We thought we killed ten of the Mexicans; they retreated. We went to Gomez's house and got two men to go to Monterey and tell Frémont we were there—they got in safely and told Frémont. We buried our dead, when Frémont came up with three hundred men and we all then went to the Mission of San Juan and encamped. Most of us were enlisted into Captain Ford's Company.*</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFS0WglhdTe9Kjj0HjAT9mRINRTa_r1mCDGFg8R1Gcyzcs0IJ8b6XSDZO_90bZq-WcUO_2wR4IFCqSbzUVCaj6V6NIanbIyi9STrR2xLk9DDt5YRATmSm64s5iXm-bjiz7pmUA7KRkRodL4Yeq0uD5z1rKxha9dx4ZNvmjs06fWpCgXhEfTpwARKo_0Sll/s730/01%20-%20Vischer_View_of_Capistrano_done_1865.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="492" data-original-width="730" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFS0WglhdTe9Kjj0HjAT9mRINRTa_r1mCDGFg8R1Gcyzcs0IJ8b6XSDZO_90bZq-WcUO_2wR4IFCqSbzUVCaj6V6NIanbIyi9STrR2xLk9DDt5YRATmSm64s5iXm-bjiz7pmUA7KRkRodL4Yeq0uD5z1rKxha9dx4ZNvmjs06fWpCgXhEfTpwARKo_0Sll/w547-h369/01%20-%20Vischer_View_of_Capistrano_done_1865.jpg" width="547" /></a></div>San Juan Mission, 1867<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> [We stayed] at San Juan three or four weeks, then started for the lower country with Frémont.

On this site during the Mexican–American War on Christmas Day 1846, the Mexican Army waited to ambush the US forces of John C. Frémont. Fremont learned of their plans and instead crossed the San Marcos Pass to capture Santa Barbara</i></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />We crossed the Santa Inez Mountain on Christmas day in a dreadful storm, lost fifteen head of horses, left cannon on the mountain and went down a trail. We might have gone through Gaviota Pass. One of the most noted things that happened was just before we got to San Luis Obispo on the Salmon. We captured an Indian with dispatches, shot him and went on to San Luis Obispo and caught Pico, caught him in bed, surrounded the house and took him down to San Luis Obispo that night and tried him by court 21 martial. [He was] found guilty of violating his parole and sentenced to be shot. We thought he would be shot. We were marshaled out and Frémont released him on the condition that he would stay with and pilot us over the mountains. His family came and begged for him. The boys thought it was a shame to kill the Indian and not Pico.*</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At Santa Barbara we had no trouble. We lived on beef, had no bread. We had with us about 450 men. As we left San Buena Ventura the Mexicans rode up on top of the hill and the next morning we marched out in battle order, artillery in the center. The Mexicans came out and Frémont got scared and ordered us up a hollow. We could not get through and had to come back, and camped on the Santa Anna River [Santa Clara River]. There we had no trouble until we got to Los Angeles— and had none there.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />I came up by land to San Francisco in the spring of 1847 with ten Mexicans. We were given ten dollars apiece and indebted to Major Reading for this.* We came up by the coast. All shipped at Santa Clara and I went on to San Francisco and gave up my horse. I was in San Francisco without money, and I had to buy clothes from a sailor. I was standing on Black's Point. *</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> 1st Lieutenant Revere* came up and asked me what man-of-war I belonged to. I told him I did not belong to any. He asked me if I had no coat. I told him “No” and showed him my papers. He told me to come the next day and he would give me a coat, which he did. I had nothing to eat and asked him if he could not give me an order to get something. He said that he had nothing, but to come tomorrow and see Captain Dupont.*</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> The next day I met Captain Dupont and asked him to give me something to eat until I could get to Sacramento. I lived in San Francisco three months and crossed to Sonoma with J. P. Leese in the sloop Amelia and from there to Sacramento. The officers gave me a horse at Sonoma and I went to Sacramento City. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwCNTpEo7NhtV3rWzhcPwNb1Nf-_CtqRcH0jUfBzurnQqESb5eqvJpgAL34_YFOOkC34nX5PAvc4O5YIG5-w9jNIqZOogZDluRhLK5qAtWuHImYg-sZV6n7uQUo85C7RIbo0xTxy1kQwTD0xORe0dndK7ReczEi5o9yRwEM4kJdeJU3UliDqnYMi6BlHi/s500/anvil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="432" height="477" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwCNTpEo7NhtV3rWzhcPwNb1Nf-_CtqRcH0jUfBzurnQqESb5eqvJpgAL34_YFOOkC34nX5PAvc4O5YIG5-w9jNIqZOogZDluRhLK5qAtWuHImYg-sZV6n7uQUo85C7RIbo0xTxy1kQwTD0xORe0dndK7ReczEi5o9yRwEM4kJdeJU3UliDqnYMi6BlHi/w410-h477/anvil.jpg" width="410" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">James Gregson's Anvil</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Brought to the fort in 1841.

Myself and a man named Lenox helped to get out the large mill stones for Captain Sutter's grist mill on the American River,* then we made a contract to do the blacksmithing for Sutter and Marshall who were partners in building a saw mill at Colusa [Coloma] where gold was discovered. Up to this time I had not heard of gold. Where I first worked with the whipsaw was afterwards all worked out for gold. My wife was to cook for one or two men. I was to work for three years, to be paid in cattle. The morning we were to start for Colusa [Coloma] from Sutter's Fort, Marshall came into the Fort with a little vial of about an ounce, greenish glass, which was over half full of scale gold.*</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> I looked at it and this was the first gold seen in the country. That vial was sent to Capt. [Joseph L.] Folsom in San Francisco, and in six weeks there came back word it was gold of fine quality. It was sent down on the old launch. 22 I think Major McKinstry took it down, a cousin of Judge [E. W.] McKinstry. *</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLn8fsIJWvDrnE4a28O3qwLUPcAsVXE7h6z0pvzbIppuE_igXavOAxa02YwVotwTCRNlvs3K5GMyVM7gYC-EMVl0OrtNQuup2YZBeaW8XS0uI7wblk6yD92CcdSffsWKbitN8UE_VszC867lNqTKzUGMb9ZnquNyeREG7W2AKJah-JX8lKWomKprm21nJ/s475/loccalgoldrush1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="475" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLn8fsIJWvDrnE4a28O3qwLUPcAsVXE7h6z0pvzbIppuE_igXavOAxa02YwVotwTCRNlvs3K5GMyVM7gYC-EMVl0OrtNQuup2YZBeaW8XS0uI7wblk6yD92CcdSffsWKbitN8UE_VszC867lNqTKzUGMb9ZnquNyeREG7W2AKJah-JX8lKWomKprm21nJ/w544-h343/loccalgoldrush1.jpg" width="544" /></a></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />I went up to the mill with my wife and went to work. There were a number of men there, five or six white men. I recollect Weaver* and his family, Marshall, Humphreys and Charles Bennett (he died in Oregon), two Mormon teamsters and perhaps a dozen Indians. In the daytime the Indians would dig in the race, which was twenty feet deep in some places and an average of ten feet. At night we would turn the water in and shut it off in the morning, and we would find the gold in the crevices of the rock. It was all scale gold in that race. I went up there just after New Year's Day 1848. It was in the race every morning, we did not pay much attention to it. We picked it up off and on for six weeks without any excitement. A letter came to Marshall from Sutter [reporting] that it was gold of a fine quality. Marshall was then living with me. We had salt salmon and boiled wheat, and we, the discoverers of gold, were living on that when gold was found, and we suffered from scurvy afterwards.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Myself, Marshall, Humphries, and Bennett were living together in a double cabin. Soon as we got word it was gold I said to Marshall: “Let us go up the river, the south fork of the American River, and see if we can't find some gold.” We had a pick and pan. We went up the river three miles to a bar and called it Live Oak Bar. We went out on the bar and picked out lump gold of the size of a bean with our fingers, without digging—in all a pint cupful. I said,”This lets up our contract. Now,” says I, “James, suppose we divide this gold.” “No,” says he, “I don't divide. You are a hired man.” I said, “That ends our contract.” The next day I went back and dug and took out a good deal for myself. It was the first prospecting done.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />The people flocked in after that, and I got sick and had to come to Sonoma. I brought down about $3,000 in the fall of 1848. I went back in 1849, in the spring, and worked three months and came back. While in the mines we found a man deserted, on the middle fork of the Feather River. He had chronic diarrhoea. Mills visited him. At last one morning he was found dead.

James & Eliza experienced the Bear Flag Revolt, lived with the Donner Party Survivors after they were rescued and James Gregson was one of the first to find the gold that began the Gold Rush. Their daughter Annie was the first white child born at Sutters Fort.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>In 1876, James Gregson was asked to give a statement about his life, for a History Of Sonoma County, which was published in 1880. </span><span>Feeling that the pioneer women had been neglected by the historians, Mrs. Gregson proceeded to write her own “Memory.” This she did on the blank sides of old bill-heads, letters, and other scraps of paper, which were preserved by her daughter, Mrs. Eliza Butler.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">"To those interested in the history of the period, Mrs. Gregson's account will be of even more value than her husband's. Here is to be found a rare, detailed record of everyday life written by a pioneer woman. Her “Memory” begins with her life in England and includes her journey to the United States, her marriage, the hardships of the overland journey to California in 1845, the births, sicknesses, and deaths of her children, her husband's work for Sutter, the delightful Indian custom of skinning a coyote alive, the use of cow manure broth to break her husband's fever, the terrible experiences of the Donner party, incidents connected with the conquest of California, the discovery of gold and the resultant rush, the establishment of a home in Sonoma, and many other experiences known only to the pioneer woman."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Eliza's "Memory" was first published in </span><span>CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY </span><span>VOLUME XIX NO. 2 JUNE 1940. It has nearly as many inserted footnotes as it does original text, and after consideration, I removed most of those and placed them all the way at the bottom of the page, keeping only the more relevant tidbits in the text. Although the notes are valuable for researchers, for the casual reader, they were mostly distraction. In their place, I've added photos of the things Eliza mentions.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span> Parts of her memoir are quite shocking. After recounting the strength of the Donner women, who beat a track for the men, made the camp fires, and prepared the food, she mentioned Mrs. Fodick, who stayed behind with her ailing husband when he could not keep up. Her husband died quickly, and the new widow was able to quickly catch up to the party that had left them behind. Eliza recounts, "</span><span>She told them he [Mr Fodick] is dead. Fowler said, can we have him to eat? She said you cannot hurt him now. so some of them went back & brought some of his flesh & cooked it." </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span> Eliza then comments, derisively, "</span><span>So speak about womens rights say they are weak & ought to have no rights." </span><i><span>[California would be the 6th state to allow women to vote, in 1911. Eliza would die 20 years before that occurred.]</span></i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTRp6wPXhLPpd3annuRXcd141LCX_5pdvp-8aL02OW4piP-lpEKDqBsaThetSvCjcHOy2jUcXKUlbLURae0kdH6lGejxAfU6QtscuY0KjtP29fWL6wU1jxEtXoR3Bdv-Dqd72YgQMiUSfJUtGJiHFEwStHQsbvS-v1cLjJuyRsFfV265I9NJGrZB1ewLMX/s745/Gregsons.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="745" data-original-width="490" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTRp6wPXhLPpd3annuRXcd141LCX_5pdvp-8aL02OW4piP-lpEKDqBsaThetSvCjcHOy2jUcXKUlbLURae0kdH6lGejxAfU6QtscuY0KjtP29fWL6wU1jxEtXoR3Bdv-Dqd72YgQMiUSfJUtGJiHFEwStHQsbvS-v1cLjJuyRsFfV265I9NJGrZB1ewLMX/w278-h424/Gregsons.jpg" width="278" /></span></a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">James & Eliza Gregson</span></i></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">====================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Mrs. Gregson's “Memory”<br /></span><span>=======================<br /><div style="text-align: left;">I was Born in the city of manchester [England] 1824 on the 15 of march lived there untill I was about 4 years old, & then went to A place calld Stockport. afterwards moved into derbyshire where we lived untill I was about 13 years. my memory ofton gose back to my childhood years at that place. wich was named pleasley. the people were old fashened & kind & many of them had lived there ever since they were born some of them were over 100 years old. majority were staunch Methodists.

Hubert Howe Bancroft,History of California (San Francisco, 1884-90), II, 730. John Henry Brown states that Bristow (whom he calls Bristol) was one of the group who, as the end of the journey approached, left their teams and went ahead on horseback. In this group he includes also Blackburn, Snyder, McDougal, and Knight. John Henry Brown,Reminiscences of Early Days of San Francisco (1845-50 ) (San Francisco: The Grabhorn Press [1933], p. 12. Bristow is mentioned in the New Helvetia Diary, a Record of Events Kept by John A. Sutter and His Clerks (San Francisco: The Grabhorn Press, 1939), on pp. 10, 15, 32, and 34. (This work is hereafter cited as N.H. Diary.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">* Henry Marshall, “Reminiscences of a Pioneer,” in The Pioneer, San Jose, August 10, 1878, states that he “left Independence for Oregon with Captain Welch and one hundred and twenty-nine wagons, and perhaps five hundred persons. We divided first into three companies, and then split into small parties. I came on the way as far as Fort Hall with Welch.” This was undoubtedly Dr. Presley Welch who was captain of the train piloted</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">by Stephen H. L. Meek and of which Joel Palmer was a member. See Joel Palmer, Journal of Travels over the Rocky Mountains to the Mouth of the Columbia River (Cincinnati, 1847), p. 16. Palmer and Welch went on to Oregon, but, Marshall writes, “at Fort Hall a train was made up for California and I joined it. The Hudsons [David and William], Elliots [William B. Elliott] and [Michael] Coleman for whom Coleman Valley is named, joined also,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">with P. McChristian and James Gregson.” Bancroft,op. cit., IV, 576-86, divides the 1845 overland immigration to California roughly into five parties: the Swasey-Todd (or Snyder-Blackburn) company; a company of fifteen men under William L. Sublette; the Grigsby-Ide company; Frémont's exploring expedition; and a party under Lansford W. Hastings. The Gregsons, Marshalls, Elliott, Coleman and McChristian he assigns to the Grigsby-Ide party. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yet Gregson himself, in his “Statement” which we print hereafter, records that “near Fort Hall we fell in with Jacob R. Snyder and Judge Blackburn who were traveling with pack horses, they came on with usGeo. McDougal joined us at Fort Hall and also Knight from whom Knights Valley is named”;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> and Bancroft states that these men came with the Swasey-Todd party which left the Grigsby-Ide company at Fort Hall. William F. Swasey, The Early Days and Men of California (Oakland, 1891), p. 29, also includes them in his party of twelve, but does not mention Gregson or the Marshalls. Apparently the personnel of each company varied during the journey, since it was difficult for all to maintain the same rate of speed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">“At Fort Hall we were met by an old man named Caleb Greenwood and his three sons; John was 22, Britain18, and Sam 16. Caleb Greenwood, who originally hailed from Nova Scotia, was an old mountain man and was said to be over 80 years old. He had been a scout and trapper and had married a squaw, his sons being half breeds. He was employed by Captain Sutter to come to Fort Hall to divert the Oregon-bound emigrants to California. He called the Oregon emigrants together the first evening we were in Fort Hall and made a talk. He</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">said the road to Oregon was dangerous on account of the Indians. He told us that while no emigrants had as yet gone to California, there was an easy grade and crossing the mountains would not be difficult. He said that Capt. Sutter would have ten Californians meet the emigrants who would go and that Sutter would supply them with plenty of potatoes, coffee and dried beef. He also said he would help the emigrants over the mountains with their wagons and that to every head of a family who would settle near Sutter's Fort, Captain Sutter would give six sections of land of his Spanish land grant “After driving southward for three days with Caleb Greenwood, he left us to go back to Fort Hall to get other emigrants to change their route to California. He left his three boys with us to guide us to Sutter's Fort “ Fred Lockley,Across the Plains by Prairie Schooner: Personal Narrative of B.

Snyder,” in Quarterly of The Society of California Pioneers, VIII (December 1931), p. 252.

All the men, also Mrs. Gregson and her mother, traveled on foot the entire distance from Humboldt to Johnson's ranch on Bear creek, the party arriving there on October 20, 1845.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">See Note 3. Knight says that he, with McDougal and Snyder, left the party at the Truckee River and went on to Sutter's Fort. Returning to meet his party on the summit, he found that his wagon and other property had been burned by the explosion of a keg of powder. Thomas Knight, “Early Events” (MS in Bancroft Library), pp. 3-4; also Bancroft, op. cit., IV, 577. Mrs. Sarah E. Healy, William B.

On Saturday, October 25, “Sutter sent two Waggons to Pine woods, Gregson's “Statement,” printed herein. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Henry Trow is mentioned several times in the N. H. Diary, beginning with September 18, 1845. Bancroft,op. cit., V, 751, states that he was in Sutter's employ from 1845-46, was mentioned in connection with Benicia affairs, 1847-48, and was later in the mines of Trinity or Shasta. According to Bancroft,op. cit., V, 698-99, Edward Robinsin was an American sailor who is said to have touched at Monterey in 1830 and to have “coasted off and on” for ten years; he then settled in the Sacramento Valley. In 1847 he married Mrs. Christina Patterson and lived on Dry Creek, San Joaquin County, but went to the mines for a while in 1848. He is mentioned frequently in the N. H. Diary. Thomas M. Hardy was in California as early as 1843 when he was granted the rancho Rio de Jesus Maria on the Sacramento River near the mouth of Cache Creek. In 1844 he was a carpenter and translator in the Sonoma</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">district, was in the mines in 1848, and in 1848 or 1849 was drowned in Suisun Bay, Bancroft,op. cit., III, 775. He is mentioned many times in the N. H. Diary.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Mansion located on Hock Farm was destroyed by an arson fire on June 21, 1865, deliberately set by a vagrant ex-soldier, whom Sutter allowed to loaf around the farm, who retaliated against Sutter for having him bound and whipped after being caught stealing. The blaze destroyed all of Sutter's personal records of his pioneer life as well as works of art and priceless relics except for a few treasured medals and portraits that Sutter was able to save.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The proclamations and orders from Pio Pico were received on October 21, according to The Diary of Johann August Sutter (San Francisco: The Grabhorn Press, 1932), p. 28. See also N.H. Diary, p. 8. Pico was acting on orders dated July 10, 1845, which he had received from the Mexican Government, instructing him to prevent the entry of immigrant families into the department. Bancroft,op, cit., IV, 605, citing the following MSS: Manuel Castro, Documentos para la historia de California, I, 152; Superior Government State Papers, XVIII, 8; Departmental State Papers, VI, 89, and VIII, 11; Documentos para la historia de California, II, 202, etc.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">James McDowell and his wife, Margaret Pyles, and daughter Maggie A. came overland to California in 1845 with a party Bancroft was unable to identify. He was employed as a gunsmith by Sutter, 1845-47. In August 1847 he moved with his family across the Sacramento, bought a rancho there and built a house. In May 1849 he was murdered, and the next year his widow had the townsite of Washington laid out on her land. She married Dr. E. C. Taylor in 1851 and died at Washington in 1883. Bancroft, op. cit., IV, 723.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The wife of Daniel Leahy who was an Irish cooper at Sutter's Fort, 1845-46, and in 1847 owner of a lot in San Francisco, where they lived at least until 1854. He died in Nevada in 1875, leaving a family in Oregon. Bancroft,op. cit., IV, 709. Sarah Montgomery came overland with her husband, Allen, in 1844 with the Stevens party. He died in 1847, and she married, on October 25, 1849, the notorious Talbot H. Green (Paul Geddes, a fugitive from justice). When the facts came out about Green, she divorced him and married Joseph Sawyer Wallis, in 1854. John Adam Hussey, “New Light upon Talbot H. Green,” in this QUARTERLY, XVIII (March 1939), 32-63. Bancroft records, op. cit., IV, 743, that in 1885 Mrs. Wallis was still residing at Mayfield, “taking part sometimes in public meetings</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">of progressive and strong-minded females.” America Kelsey, daughter of David Kelsey, came to Oregon in 1843 and to California in the Kelsey party of 1844,with her father and mother, two sisters and possibly a brother. George F. Wyman, whom she married in 1846,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">was sent by Sutter to raise recruits for the Micheltorena campaign in December 1844, and is often mentioned inthe N.H.

Diary, p. 3, records the arrival at Sutter's Fort, on September 27, 1845, of “Dr. W. B. Gildea and J. Greenwood with a small party preceding a large company from the States.” Dr. Gildea, employed by Sutter, took charge of the pharmacy and became the physician at the Fort. Swasey,op. cit., p. 35.

font-size: medium;">Research:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Statement of John Henry Gregson:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I was born in England and came as a boy of twelve years to Philadelphia and went to Illinois in the spring of 1844 and with my wife joined a train for Oregon at Independence in [April] 1845, and at Fort Hall we determined to come to California. There we met Greenwood, the mountaineer, who told us we could get land of the grant holders and agreed to fetch us in. He got $2.50 .......... apiece to pilot us in to California. There was in our train about thirty wagons and perhaps--persons including men, women and children. Near Fort Hall we fell in with Jacob R. Snyder and Judge Blackburn who were travelling with pack horses. They came on with us. With our party came George McDougal, a young man. He was brave and handsome. He joined us at Fort Hall, and also Knight from whom Knights Valley is named. The Elliotts were along, and John Grigsby, and the McChristians and family, and the Hudson family. We had no trouble at all at the sink of the Humboldt [except that we] had a few shots fired into our cattle. Ide, who issued the proclamation at Sonoma, was also along. He was a prominent man; he was well provided.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Note:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">James Gregson was born in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, on September 14, 1822. In 1837, in Philadelphia, he was bound to James Brooks as an apprentice to the blacksmiths' and machinists' trade and served until he was 21 years old. Hist. of Sonoma County , p. 474.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We got into the Sacramento Valley the last of October, and went to Sutter's Fort, and there I was employed as a whipsawyer with Henry Marshall who came out with us. The lumber was to build a schooner on the headwaters of the Cosumnes River, fifty miles from the Fort. We cut a good deal of lumber. While there an Indian came in who had never seen a white man; he had a hat made like their baskets and all covered with feathers. I traded him a white shirt for it, and afterwards traded it to a Mormon for a horse. We went in to the Fort in the fall of 1845. Captain Sutter sent for us, and the lumber got to the Fort a few days before Christmas. He gave us $30 a thousand for lumber payable in goods.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We then entered into a contract with Mr. Hardy who owned a great estate at the mouth of the Feather River where the town of Sacramento was. We stayed with him three months, doing general farm work and living in a tule shanty. I only stayed there three months and then went back to Sutter's Fort. Hardy fell off of a schooner in Suisun Bay and was drowned.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I went to work digging a ditch for Captain Sutter with Henry Marshall, at $2.50 a rod, a foot wide at the top and four feet deep, and two feet at the bottom. We worked at this Fort until the war began. When we first came in we heard that Sutter was favorable to the Americans. Then I went to work for the Captain at anything he wanted. Soon after we got in, a proclamation was read notifying the Americans to leave. After it was read Sutter told us to stand by him and he would stand by us.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Fremont came to the Fort in February 1846. In the fight with the Klamath Indians Captain Gillespie killed an Indian with a coat of mail made of wood slats and a warp of sinew. I saw the coat of mail when it was shewn to Captain Sutter on his return. Captain Gillespie afterwards commanded sixty men as volunteers.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I was at Sutter's Fort when Vallejo and the Bear Flag prisoners [were there and] took my regular turn as a guard of the prisoners. I had been enlisted into the services of the United States for three months at $12 per month. [When I] guarded the men they all appeared quiet. We used to take them out to exercise--Bob Ridley, J. P. Leese, Victor Prudon, Salvador and General Vallejo--then stood guard over them. I stayed there until they were released on parole. Then I enlisted in the California Battalion in Captain Brown's Company and went down to meet Fremont at Monterey. We had no trouble until we got to San Juan South. We had twelve Walla Walla Indians along, Captain Burris [Charles Burroughs] in command.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We saw the long glittering lances of the Mexicans as we got into the plain. We were joined about this time by Captain Weaver [Charles M. Weber] and thirty men which gave us about sixty men. The sun was about an hour high when the fight began. We had eight hundred head of horses and four pieces of artillery. We put the horses in the corral at the Gomez ranch and left a dozen men to guard them and took part and fought two hundred Mexicans with fifty men. We formed in line and counted off. Captain Burris [Burroughs] said for No. 1 to fire while No. 2 was to hold his fire, but we soon got mixed up and fired on the Indians who were in advance and fell back, and the Mexicans charged us boldly and we give them the best we had and charged at them. I was close to Burris [Burroughs] when he fell, the captain of the Mexicans killed him, he rode up close to him, and fired, I thought with a pistol. Burris [Burroughs] was killed before we could get him to the rear. We lost a man named Ames and Billy the Cooper of Weaver's [Weber's] Company, and Foster who was a lieutenant. All killed with musket balls or pistols.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After the charge we held the ground. We thought we killed ten of the Mexicans; they retreated. We went to Gomez's house and got two men to go to Monterey and tell Fremont we were there--they got in safely and told Fremont. We buried our dead, when Fremont came up with three hundred men and we all then went to the Mission of San Juan and encamped. Most of us were enlisted into Captain Ford's Company. [We stayed] at San Juan three or four weeks, then started for the lower country with Fremont. I think he was a confounded scamp and a coward.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We crossed the Santa Inez Mountain on Christmas day in a dreadful storm, lost fifteen head of horses, left cannon on the mountain and went down a trail. We might have gone through Gaviota Pass. One of the most noted things that happened was just before we got to San Luis Obispo on the Salmon. We captured an Indian with dispatches, shot him and went on to San Luis Obispo and caught Pico, caught him in bed, surrounded the house and took him down to San Luis Obispo that night and tried him by court martial. [He was] found guilty of violating his parole and sentenced to be shot. We thought he would be shot. We were marshaled out and Fremont released him on the condition that he would stay with and pilot us over the mountains. His family came and begged for him. The boys thought it was a shame to kill the Indian and not Pico.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">At Santa Barbara we had no trouble. We lived on beef, had no bread. We had with us about 450 men. As we left San Buena Ventura the Mexicans rode up on top of the hill and the next morning we marched out in battle order, artillery in the center. The Mexicans came out and Fremont got scared and ordered us up a hollow. .......... We could not get through and had to come back, and camped on the Santa Anna River [Santa Clara River]. There we had no trouble until we got to Los Angeles--and had none there.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I came up by land to San Francisco in the spring of 1847 with ten Mexicans. We were given ten dollars apiece and indebted to Major Reading for this. We came up by the coast. All shipped at Santa Clara and I went on to San Francisco and gave up my horse. I was in San Francisco without money, and I had to buy clothes from a sailor. I was standing on Black's Point. 1st Lieutenant Revere came up and asked me what man-of-war I belonged to. I told him I did not belong to any. He asked me if I had no coat. I told him "No" and showed him my papers. He told me to come the next day and he would give me a coat, which he did. I had nothing to eat and asked him if he could not give me an order to get something. He said that he had nothing, but to come tomorrow and see Captain Dupont. The next day I met Captain Dupont and asked him to give me something to eat until I could get to Sacramento. I lived in San Francisco three months and crossed to Sonoma with J. P. Leese in the sloop Amelia and from there to Sacramento. The officers gave me a horse at Sonoma and I went to Sacramento City.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I paid in work to Captain Sutter for my wifes relations [rations?] while I was gone, and I never got but ten dollars for my services and a 120-acre land warrant; this was the summer of 1847. Myself and a man named Lenox helped to get out the large mill stones for Captain Sutter's grist mill on the American River, then we made a contract to do the blacksmithing for Sutter and Marshall who were partners in building a saw mill at Colusa [Coloma] where gold was discovered. Up to this time I had not heard of gold. Where I first worked with the whipsaw was afterwards all worked out for gold. My wife was to cook for one or two men. I was to work for three years, to be paid in cattle. The morning we were to start for Colusa [Coloma] from Sutter's Fort, Marshall came into the Fort with a little vial of about an ounce, greenish glass, which was over half full of scale gold. I looked at it and this was the first gold seen in the country. That vial was sent to Capt. [Joseph L.] Folsom in San Francisco, and in six weeks there came back word it was gold of fine quality. It was sent down on the old launch.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I think Major McKinstry took it down, a cousin of Judge [E. W.] McKinstry.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I went up to the mill with my wife and went to work. There were a number of men there, five or six white men. I recollect Weaver and his family, Marshall, Humphreys and Charles Bennett (he died in Oregon), two Mormon teamsters and perhaps a dozen Indians. In the daytime the Indians would dig in the race, which was twenty feet deep in some places and an average of ten feet. At night we would turn the water in and shut it off in the morning, and we would find the gold in the crevices of the rock. It was all scale gold in that race. I went up there just after New Year's Day 1848. It was in the race every morning, we did not pay much attention to it. We picked it up off and on for six weeks without any excitement. A letter came to Marshall from Sutter [reporting] that it was gold of a fine quality. Marshall was then living with me. We had salt salmon and boiled wheat, and we, the discoverers of gold, were living on that when gold was found, and we suffered from scurvy afterwards.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Myself, Marshall, Humphries, and Bennett were living together in a double cabin. Soon as we got word it was gold I said to Marshall: "Let us go up the river, the south fork of the American River, and see if we can't find some gold." We had a pick and pan. We went up the river three miles to a bar and called it Live Oak Bar. We went out on the bar and picked out lump gold of the size of a bean with our fingers, without digging--in all a pint cupful. I said,"This lets up our contract. Now," says I, "James, suppose we divide this gold." "No," says he, "I don't divide. You are a hired man." I said, "That ends our contract." The next day I went back and dug and took out a good deal for myself. It was the first prospecting done.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The people flocked in after that, and I got sick and had to come to Sonoma. I brought down about $3,000 in the fall of 1848. I went back in 1849, in the spring, and worked three months and came back. While in the mines we found a man deserted, on the middle fork of the Feather River. He had chronic diarrhea. Mills visited him. At last one morning he was found dead. He had written on a tin plate, "Deserted by my friends, but not by my God." My partner was named Mills--perhaps it was D. O. Mills --he and me were working together. Some young fellows came into Spanish Bar where we were, from Napa, and they had one hundred pounds of flour to sell. I told Mills we had better buy it. We gave an ounce for it and found some nice butter rolled up in the center.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">We left with eight hundred dollars and came back to Sonoma in the fall of 1849 and have been here ever since. I bought land of Captain Cooper. I have a daughter who is now Mrs. Robert Reid of San Luis Obispo, who was born at Sutter's Fort, September 15, 1846. She was the first white child born in the Sacramento Valley.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">===============================================================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I want to add a few more words about my Pioneer ancestors. My Mother Eliza J. (Gregson) Butler was a daughter of James and Eliza Gregson who were born in England. They came to the U.S.A. to Pennsylvania where they later left the Eastern State by wagon train and settled in California, first at Sutters Fort, Sacramento before gold was discovered.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">James Gregson was a blacksmith at the Fort, and his anvil is located there now. He was with Marshall when gold was discovered at Coloma. Also he was with Fremont when War broke out with Mexico, and was at Sonoma when the Bear Flag was raised there.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Their first child Ann (Gregson) Reid was born at Sutter's Fort. Afterwards they moved to a ranch in Green Valley (near Graton), Sonoma County. My Mother was born there May 31st, 1854. She had three brothers and 5 sisters.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">=========================================================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Author: Alley, Bowen & Co. (1880)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Gregson, James. A representative man of Sonoma county, and hose portrait is in this history; was born in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, September 14, 1822. When nearly twelve years old, he with his parents, emigrated to the United</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">States, settling in Philadelphia, where, in 1837, James was bound to James</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Brooks as an apprentice to the blacksmith and machinists' trade, serving till</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">twenty-one years of age. Here, on October 20, 1843, he married Miss Eliza</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Marshall, who was born in the city of Manchester, England, on March 15, 1824.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">They moved to Rock Island county, Illinois, in 1844, sojourning there until</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">April, 1845; then, in company with Mrs. Gregson's two brothers, Henry and John</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Marshall, her sister, Mary A., and mother, Mrs. Ann Marshall, crossed the plains</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">with ox teams to California. While on the road, and passing through Humboldt</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">canon, they were attacked by Indians, who killed all their stock, except one</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">yoke of cattle, which compelled our little party to make a two-wheeled vehicle</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">out of their wagon, on which their baggage was transported, together with those</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">persons who were unable to walk. All the men, also Mrs. Gregson and her mother,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">traveled on foot the entire distance from Humboldt to Johnston's ranch on Bear</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">creek, the party arriving there on October 20, 1845. Mr. Marshall did not walk</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">over twenty miles. The hardships and sufferings which these two women endured on</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">this journey can better be imagined by those who have passed through a like</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">experience than described by us. All honor to these ladies, who braved all the</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">dangers of an overland trip to this State, and at a time when few had dared to</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">make the journey in order to become permanent settlers, and who have lived to</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">see the then wilderness of California subdued to a garden of beauty. Mr. Gregson</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">at once proceeded to Sutter's Fort, where he was employed by Captain John A.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Sutter to work at blacksmithing. During his stay here he enlisted in a company,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">to join General Fremont at Monterey, taking with them a drove of horses. In</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">1846, while at the fort, Mr. Gregson was guard over General Vallejo, who was at</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">that time a prisoner of the Bear Flag party. He was also engaged in a battle at</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Salinas, and followed the movements of Fremont to Los Angeles, when he, together</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">with other members of his company, were honorably discharged; after which, Mr.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Gregson returned to Sutter's Fort, where he remained till February, 1848, when</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">he was sent by Captain Sutter to Coloma to assist in erecting the mill which</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">that gentleman was building at that place. It was while the subject of this</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">sketch was working on the mill that gold was discovered. Mrs. Gregson has now a</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">small nugget of the precious metal, which was given her by some Indians in</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">exchange for a shirt. While this family were residents of Sutter's Fort, their</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">daughter Anna was born on September 3, 1846. After their arrival in Coloma, the</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Indians would come a distance of forty miles to see the baby, and could not be</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">induced to believe it a real child until they had pinched it, or in some other</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">way made it cry. In October, 1848, Mr. Gregson came to Sonoma, having moved</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">there partly to regain his health, which had become impaired while living at</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Coloma, but, on recovering which, he returned to Coloma in 1849; thence to the</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">middle fork of the American river, but was again compelled to leave the mines on</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">account of ill-health; going to Sacramento, there engaging in house-building in</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Sutterville, which he continued till late in the Fall of 1849; thence to Sonoma,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">and in January, 1850, settled on his present farm of one hundred and sixty</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">acres, situated in Green Valley, Analy township, and was the first to break land</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">and raise grain in the valley. We will here note that Mrs. Gregson's mother and</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">sisters settled in Sonoma in 1846. No man in this State is more respected than</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Mr. Gregson, and his name is everywhere the synonym of probity, honor and</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">business integrity. Uniting to the frankness and generosity of an Englshman</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">[sic] the intelligence and polish of the highest type of a gentleman, his name</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">and pioneer career will ever be associated with all that is most agreeable in</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">the early settlement of Sonoma county. The names and births of his children are</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">as follows: Annie, the first white child born in Sutter's Fort, as above. She is</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">now Mrs. Reid of San Luis Obispo county, this State; Mary Ellen born at Coloma,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The 1880 Census lists her as a widow, so I am going to start out on the assumption that her sister Kitty was her sister in law. However, I am not convinced. In her obituary, Joseph states that she as the youngest of 7 children, and that only one survives her. Then he mentions her sister Katy Stom - leading me to believe that Katy was truly a sibling, not a sister in law. This would either mean that Lucy returned to her maiden name, or, possibly, that her daughter Mary Ann Stom (Joseph Lumbards mother) was illegitimate. Joseph was himself the illegitimate son of Josiah Lumbard and Mary Ann Stom.</span><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">On the other hand, we know Mary Ann had a sister named Catherine, who married Daniel Hahne. Catherine's maiden name was Stom as well. It seems especially unlikely that Lucy would have had two illegitimate daughters.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span face="helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">My 4th great paternal grandfather, Jacob Freed, lived in Chapman twp, which was in Union County until Snyder County was formed. He was born approximately 1805. </span><span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif">He married Magdalene, and they had at least 4 children: Abraham, Magdalena, Henry, and Eva Elizabeth. In the 1850 census Jacob is shown as a labourer, and his son Abraham, age 16, is listed as a "boatman". Much of this township is employed as either boatmen or in "boating" in 1850-1870. The Canal ran through Chapman Twp.</span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>1834 - Son Abraham Freed Is Born</b></span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Abraham Freed was born about 1834. It appears he was married twice, briefly both times. His first wife may have been named Mary, and then in 1880 he appears to have married Susannah, who had been widowed just a few months before. </span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> Susan had three young boys, listed as Abraham's stepsons in 1880. John Howell died in October of 1879, at age 63, leaving 36 year old Susan a widow with three young boys. </span><span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif">In 1880, Susan and those three boys appear in the census with Abraham Freed, with the boys being listed as his stepsons and Susan being listed as Susan Freed. Susan died in December of 1880, so it is very unlikely that her and Abraham were married long - probably only a few months at most - before her death. </span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Abraham was a boatman on the canal. His mother appears to have lived with him her entire life. I'm not certain I have the correct census records, but if the records I have are correct, Abraham was married to a Mary in 1870. She has disappeared by 1870, and Abraham appears, if it is the correct Abraham, with a Susannah and 3 stepsons with the last name of Howe (Howel). </span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Susannah was likely the widow of John Howel, who died in 1879. (the 1870 census shows John, Susan, Ammon, and newborn Charles) Susan Howell's tombstone however, gives her last name as Howel (Not Freed), she is buried beside John, having died just a year later, at age 37. Ammon died around 1893, at age 24. If this is all the correct families, Susan would have only been married to Abraham for a very brief time - perhaps only weeks or at most a few months, before her death. <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/133861328/susan-howell">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/133861328/susan-howell</a></span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The only record I have found of Magdalene is in the 1850 census. In 1860 she would have been 24, so it's very possible she was married by then, but I do not know to whom.</span><br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>1837 - Son Henry Freed Is Born</b></span><br />
<span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Henry Freed, at age 17, had his first son with Mary Ann Shaffer, age 24. Her family lived near the Freed family. Henry and Mary Ann had at least two more children, Catherine Freed in 1874 and Ida Jane Freed in 1877. Henry died in 1911, in the Danville State Hospital. Cause of death was gangrene of his foot. He was buried in Dalmatia.</span><br />

<a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93615783">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93615783</a><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">Jacob Fried and his wife Elizabeth of Richland Township (Quakertown), Bucks County, had a son named Peter, born in the mid-1770's. It has long been a mystery what became of Peter.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "source sans pro", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">There were two Peter Freeds, born around that time, who could have been that Peter. Peter Fried, of Hellam Township, York County, PA (1777-1854) has been widely assumed to be the Peter in question. But the York County death register indicates that his father was Henry Fried. Peter Freed, of Center Township, Union (formerly Northumberland) County, PA (1770's-1832) may be the son of Jacob and Elizabeth.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "source sans pro", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">Jacob Fried died before 1782, in Richland Township, and his estate documents described his farm and listed members of his family. (According to tax lists, he was dead in 1779, when "Widow Freed" was listed in Richland Township, indicating that estate documents were not always filed in a timely manner.) Based on the 1790 census, Elizabeth's three youngest sons, Henry, Abraham, and Peter were apparently living with her. In 1800, only Henry Freed was living in Richland, on the family farm on the Tohickon Creek, near Quakertown. It is not known where Abraham or Peter were at this time, although in 1807 estate documents show that Paul, John and Peter Freed were in Bucks County, at least to collect their share of their parents estate. It is not clear where Peter Freed or Abraham Freed were between the mid-1790's and 1807. Peter could have been in Virginia with his older brothers, in Northumberland County, in Western Pennsylvania, or somewhere in Bucks County. His older brother Abraham settled in Northumberland County prior to 1807.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "source sans pro", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">The Peter Freed, who lived in Union County, may have been the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Freed, of Richland Township, Bucks County, PA. No evidence, other than circumstantial, has been found to prove this link, but it is likely. He appeared in Northumberland County at about the same time as Abraham Freed, son of Jacob of Richland. They both appear in the 1810 census in Northumberland County.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "source sans pro", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">Peter Fried, of Hellam Township, York County lived near Henry Fried, the brother of Jacob, and was closely associated with him. The York County death register states that his father was Henry and that he was born in Bucks County. His son Abraham, who should have been in a position to know, gave this statement.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #36322d; font-family: "source sans pro", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><span face=""source sans pro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #36322d;">No documents directly link Peter Freed, of Center, to Jacob's family, but his first son appears to be named Jacob, which would conform to the German naming convention" often seen in early German immigrants in Pennsylvania, if his father was Jacob Freed. Germans usually named the first son after his father's father. Peter, of Hellam, named his first son Henry, which does not prove that Peter's father was Henry, but indicates that this is a strong possibility. In the book The History of the Freed Family, it is stated that his first son was Henry.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Philip L.

<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the principal roads in the southwestern part of the county ran directly through the Broad Creek community; this </span><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">road connected the Town of Piscataway with Sr. John's Church and then continued north to the Eastern Branch and/or </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">(by ferry across the Potomac) to Alexandria. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Travelers making this journey relied upon taverns along the wal for rest and refreshment, not only for the passengers, </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">bur for their horses. One such tavern, the Slash Creek or White Horse Tavern, was located on this road (now Livingston </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Road), immediately south of Harmony Hall, at the present intersection of Livingston and Fort Washington Roads. Many </span><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">taverns are known to have operated in the village of Broad Creek during the eighteenth century, but little is known </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">about them other than the names of the proprietor licensees in the case of the White Horse, more information is </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The White Horse Tavern stood on the west side of the road that ran south from St. John's Church to Piscataway and </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">operated from the very early years of the nineteenth century. In 1804, Philip Webster purchased three acres of Battersea </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"at the road leading from Piscataway to the head of Broad Creek." From that time until his death in 1818, Webster</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">operated a tavern on this property, known variously as the Slash Creek or White Horse Tavern. After Webster's death, </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">the tavern stand was acquired by Henry Culver Thorn, who operated it until his death in 1872. The White Horse was a </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">landmark in the Broad Creek community to the extent that, during much of the nineteenth century, the Harmony Hall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">property was identified in legal instruments as adjoining the tavern or the Henry C. Thorn property. The old tavern </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">building and its prominent White Horse sign lasted until the end of the nineteenth century.</span><br />

He was with that department until it was closed sometime after the war ended. Then he and his brother-in-law went into business (John N. Mitchell) for themselves, Harness, Trunk making and carriage trimming on Pennsylvania Avenue opposite Willards Hotel. They parted ways and Robert A. Simms carried on the business in S.E. Washington until his death. He was a lieutenant in the Meigs Guard, also a member of the City Council from the 6th Ward, also a member of Lebanon Lodge #7F.A.A.M.. After his death his wife with all the children except John Edwin connected with the Catholic Church (St. Peters) on Capital Hill. He was married by a Catholic Priest although a Protestant and his two sons Richard A. and John E. were baptized inthat church in Baltimore. He became a member of the Methodist Church and all of his children attended that Church until his death, none of them ever knew that their mother ever was or had been a Catholic. </span><br />

Third line down here. I know from this that it's Letters Of Administration, not a will, and that it is found on page 62 (of will book 6, which is what we have open here)</div>

Near the bottom of the ancestry screen, you will see how many pages are included in this film, and what page you are on. We want will page 62 for Valentine, but that could be any number of pages on the film. Each page of film is typically two pages of wills, and the wills will start anywhere from 10 to 25 pages into the film. So it may take a few tries to flip to the right film. Watch the page numbers at the top left and right -</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there, in the middle of page 62, are the Letters Of Administration for Valentine Ritter. This may not seem like a great find, it's not a will.. but in this example, it gives me a date for when Probate was filed. Before finding this, I had no idea what year Valentine died, now I can enter "about 1872" to his record. The record also mentions his wife, telling me she was still alive when he died, and it it names William S, Ritter, which is very likely the oldest living son. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's even better when these records take you to a will, with specific listings of the daughters married names - but even a Letter Of Administration can have helpful info!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our son is attending the highland games this year, and he wanted to know if we have any Scottish roots. My answer was Yes! And then I realized that it's more assumption than proven surety. So here is what I know, and what I suspect. Hopefully someday I will be able to prove more!</span></div>

among its 270 passengers the following Valentine Gramly Hans Adam Gramlich Hans Adam Gramlich Jr The relationship between the first one and the two last named is not of record but tradition states that the first two were brothers The name is one which is easily misspelled and on the old documents are found the following spellings Kramlich Kramley Kramly Cromley Cromly and Crumley Valentine Kramlich came from the Duchy of Wurtemberg Germany and soon after his arrival at Philadelphia he proceeded via the Schuylkill river to Oley township Berks county thence across the hills into Macungie then settled in Weisenberg township Northampton now Lehigh county There he became a large property owner and one of the organizers of a church for the community He was a man of great prominence inence and influence and was a leader in his district But in an historical record of Ziegel church written by the Rev WH Helffrich a minister of the Reformed faith possessed of great learning and foresight who dwelt in that section credit for meritorious work was largely given to members of his own faith while the work of the Lutherans of which Valentine Kramlich was a leader were barely mentioned Kramlich was possessed of more than ordinary intelligence was a Lutheran of strong convictions and his numerous posterity among whom are a number of ministers of the Gospel have continued to hold to that faith with remarkable zeal The ancestor had the following children 1 George who moved from the district after 1 790 died near Danville Pa 2 Paul who died upon the homestead 3 Daniel 4 Anna Maria 5 Christian who moved to Ohio in 1808 and soon afterward he began to spell his name Crumley and Cromley but on his marriage certificate and official documents it was spelt Kramlich Paul Kramlich who continued upon the homestead in Weisenberg township in 1790 had three sons and four daughters The sons were Paul Jr Jacob and Jonathan The tax lists of Weisenberg township contain these names 1 762 Valentine Kramlich 1 781 Valentine Gramlich Paul Gramlich 1 81 2 Paul Kramlich Paul Kramlich Jr Jacob Kramlich The Penna Arch record the names of Paul Jacob Christian George and Frank Francis Kramlich as having served in the Revolutionary War from Northampton county The four first named were descendants and doubtless sons of Valentine of Weisenberg township except Jacob who was a son of Paul

now live The will was made March 8 1773 and was probated on May 1 of the same year The executors of it were M F I and E Kramley doubtless sons of the testator The above Adam Kramley doubtless was the same Hans Adam Gramlich who with his son Hans Adam Jr emigrated to America in 1749 The Federal Census of 1790 records one Adam Gramlich living in the eastern district of Cumberland county Pa and he had three sons and four daughters Christoper and Frederick Cromlich lived also in the same district in that year The former had four and the latter had six children Three of the five children of

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The bulk of Henry S.Furry's 1910 book- "History of Johonnes Furry, (or Forrer) and His Descendants to End of the Eight Generation", is likely correct. However his assumption that his John Furry/Forrer of Berks Co.,Pa was one and the same as Johannes Forrer arriving in 1727, is incorrect. Johannes, of 1727, was Mennonite, lived and died in Lancaster Co.,PA.. None of his children per;"Biographical Annals of Lancaster County" settled in Berks Co,PA either. The Biographical Annals of Lanc." lists Johannes and some of his descendants as Mennonite. As does Richard W. Davis in his "Emigrants, Refugees and Prisoners". Likely John Furry naturalized 1755 in Phila.."The Biographical Annals of Lanc.." and R.W.Davis, indicate that Johannes (1727) did not go to Berks Co., but none of his children did either. John Jr. inherited farm in Hempfield. Son Daniel inherited part of the same farm. Jacob inherited farm in Hellam Twp, York Co.. Abraham- also rec'd half. David inherited 'Chestnut Hill' farm (sold and moved to M.D.). Henry inherited a mill. Henry later purchased brother Abraham's land in York "</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Notes from another researcher:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I did a little digging in my data files and I believe the Henry Forney you are looking for is the son of John Forney and Elizabeth Bixler. John Forney was the son of John Forney AKA John Furry who apparently arrived in America in 1727. He located in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County PA, on a tract of 346 acres of land. He had two sons and two daughters, namely: Michael, John, Rosina (wife of Henry Berger) and Catharine (wife of Leonard Emerich).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tradition states that John Forney and his wife Elizabeth Bixler settled on the west side of the Susquehanna River. They had four sons and two daughters. The Sons were: John, Jonas, Lawrence and Henry. The first three upon their return from a grist-mill at Sunbury, Pa., found to their horror that the Oneida Indians had killed and scalped their parents and two sisters, and also burned down the house and taken a horse with them. The youngest son, Henry, the Indians took with them to Canada, where he was afterward found. The three brothers buried their parents and sisters under an apple tree and went to Reading, PA.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have nothing more on Jonas; Lawrence Forney married a Zingmaster. They had at least 8 children. One of the children was Christina Forney born September 02, 1802, she married Charles Druckenmiller; John Forney also no further information; The youngest was Henry Forney as stated was taken by the Indians. The source for the tradition is from a book titled “Historical and biographical annals of Columbia and Montour counties PENNSYLVANIA” published 1915.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The premise that Henry was raised by “strangers” would seem to confirm the tradition" </span></div>

FURRY 1910-11 Reading, PA.<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chapter One</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On October 16, 1727, Johannes Furrey (or Forrey), and forty-six Palatines, with their families, about two hundred persons embarked on the ship, Friendship ,of Bristol, John Davis, Master, from Rotterdam, last from Cows, from whence the ship sailed on June 20th, 1727, and landed at Philadelphia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This John Furrey went to Tulbehocken, Berks County, Pa., and got a land warrant for 346 acres, October 11th, 1744. This land had been granted to a man by the name of Hoobler who forfeited his warrant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The patent was granted under the hand of James Hamilton Esq., Lieutenant Governor of the State, under the great seal of Pennsylvania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The patent is certified to be recorded at Philadelphia, now at Harrisburg, in Patent Book A, Volume 17, page 374, dated May 12th, 1752.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This Johannes Furrey (or Forrer) had located about three miles northwest of Womelsdorf, Berks County, Pa., on the road leading from Womelsdorf to Mt. Aetna. This land is now owned by Dr. Horace F. Livingood, of Womelsdorf, and tenanted by the Frantz brothers. The original springhouse is still standing and is in daily use. the farm is one of the best in the County, the soil is rich and fertile and slopes tpward a little ravine from the east and west.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>CORRECTION TO ORIGINAL TEXT:</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Found on an Ancestry message board - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #134f5c;">"The bulk of Henry S.Furry's 1910 book- "History of Johonnes Furry, (or Forrer) and His Descendants to End of the Eight Generation", is likely correct. However his assumption that his John Furry/Forrer of Berks Co.,Pa was one and the same as Johannes Forrer arriving in 1727, is incorrect. Johannes, of 1727, was Mennonite, lived and died in Lancaster Co.,PA.. None of his children per;"Biographical Annals of Lancaster County" settled in Berks Co,PA either. The Biographical Annals of Lanc." lists Johannes and some of his descendants as Mennonite. As does Richard W. Davis in his "Emigrants, Refugees and Prisoners". Also confirmed by a descendant/researcher a few years ago, who's name escapes me.If memory serves me at all, Henry S.Furry never makes any ref. to his Berks Co. Furry's as being Mennonite in origin. Research continues as to who was Henry Furry's emigrant. Likely John Furry naturalized 1755 in Phila.."The Biographical Annals of Lanc.." and R.W.Davis, indicate that Johannes (1727) did not go to Berks Co., but none of his children did either. John Jr. inherited farm in Hempfield. Son Daniel inherited part of the same farm. Jacob inherited farm in Hellam Twp, York Co.. Abraham- also rec'd half. David inherited 'Chestnut Hill' farm (sold and moved to M.D.). Henry inherited a mill. Henry later purchased brother Abraham's land in York "</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chapter Two</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some years ago all of the original building, except the springhouse, which was about 500 feet away, burned down. These buildings were the old-fashioned log buildings, but now new and modern buildings are erected in their places. The original tract is now divided into four different farms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a number of Furrys in lancaster, York and different other Counties in the State, and as they all originated from the Palatines, which is a section in Germany, there is no doubt that the Furrys' (or however they may spell their name), ancestors came from the same place in Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ten persons bearing the name immigrated from the Palatines and Hugenots , which is a County in France, close to Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In years gone by people were not so exact in spelling names and there no doubt accounts for rhe different ways of spelling this name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following persons immigrated to America in the following years:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Johannes Forrer, or Furrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1727</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lanhart Furrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1739</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hans Casper Furer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1747</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jacob Furrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1750</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christian Furrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1750</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">John Rudolph Ferrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1752</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christian Fuehrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1754</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Daniel Fuehrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1754</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Johannes Forrer<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1754</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peter Farry<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1768</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What makes it certain that this branch of the Furrys is from the one that came to America in 1727, is because the first land taken by that name, in Berks County, was on October 11th, 1744, as there were no other Johannes Furrey (or Forrer), that came to America between 1727 and 1744, and we also know that this branch comes from Berks County, Pa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We find that prior to the year 1716 a family by the name of Ferrie or in German (Vere) was living in a town called Lindan, not far from the River Rhine in the kingdonm of France. This family consisted of himself, his wife, three sons and three daughters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The names of the sons were Daniel, Philip and John; those of the daughters were Catherine, Mary, and Jane. Their religion was Calvanistic. The husband died and the widow with the rest of the family immigrated to America and first located in New York State. Later they moved to Lancaster County, Pa., where she died in the year 1716 and is buried in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, Pa. Her maiden name was Mary Waronbower</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We find that quite a number of prominent people have sprung up from this family. First their name was Ferrie, then Forry, and now Furry. We also find that some became ministers of the gospel, some doctors and some attorneys. They claim relationship in America with the Furrys from Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Furry family is an old and prominent family; we find that some have taken an active part in the Revolutionary war and also in the war of 1812. Some also took an active part in State affairs. They can be traced all over the United States. It is impossible to give an account of when the old people died and where they were buried.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are the descendents of Johannes Furrey (or Forrer) and his wife, whose name we were not able to ascertain. As near as can be found to the eighth generation, as to the date of births, deaths and marriages, it is impossible to get them all. In some cases there were no records kept and in others they were lost and can not be found.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This Johannes Furrey (or Forrer), was blessed with two sons and two daughters, Michael, John, <b><a href="https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2017/03/henry-berger.html">Rosina ,wife of Henry Berger </a></b>and Catherine, wife of Leonard Emrick. In 1765 the land was granted to his son, Michael, and on September 9th, 1765, the land was released by his brother, John.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From 1774 to 1781, during the Revolutionary war, Michael was Captain in the sixth batallion of Pennsylvania Militia and was afterward appointed Major of the same batallion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 1776-77, Michael Furry was appointed assessor of Berks County. His family consisted of four sons and one daughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First,<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>George</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Second,<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Peter Michael</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Third,<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>John</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fourth,<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Daniel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fifth,<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>a daughter who was married to a Mr. Weaver</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Michael, son of Johannes, was born May 8th, 1732, and died November 15, 1798, at the age of 66 years. His wife, whose name we were unable to learn, was born January 19,1724 and died November 1799, at the age of 75 years; they are both buried at the Reed's Church burial place, near Stouchsburg, Berks County.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the year 1782 Michael Geiger, Joseph McIntosh, John Furry, brother of Michael, Thomas Wilkinson, George Hunsicker and Conrad Wampold, from Reading, Berks County, with their families, took an Indian trail across the Blue, Broad, Locust, and Little Mountains. They traveled on horseback and came to the Susquehanna river to a place called Hughesburg, now called Catawissa. About that time a tribe of Oneida Indians established a settlement at the old site of Lapackpittonstown, greatly to the annoyance of the settlers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thomas Wilkinson aroused their displeasure by interfering with their fishing operations. On one occasion he was compelled to seek shelter in the river, and being unable to swim he was obliged to be contented by wading. Every time he raised his head above water he was a target for the Indians, as they would fire at him. He afterwards said that he was only measuring the depth of the river and was given the name of Tom Gauger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chapter Three</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">John Furry, with his family, settled on the west side of the river. His family consisted of four sons and two daughters:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>John</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Second;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Jonas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Third;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lawrence</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fourth;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Henry</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The names of the daughters are not known.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">John, Jonas, and Lawrence, then young men, went to Sunbury to a grist mill one day, and as they returned home, found to their horror, that a band of Oneida Indians had killed both their parents and sisters, and scalped them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They had also burned down the house and took with them the horse and youngest brother, <a href="https://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2011/04/henry-forney-b1813.html">Henry</a>, and had gone to Canada, where he was afterward found.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The three brothers buried their parents and sisters under an apple-tree and also buried their farming implements and returned to Reading, Berks County.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The settlers were very much annoyed by the Indians,in fact so much that they were all compelled to flee for their lives with the exception of Thomas Wilkinson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometime after that, Jonas Furry left Reading and went to Washington County, Pennsylvania; John Furry left Reading and went to Lebanon County and married Polly Spangler. He raised a family of ten children as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Henry (brother of Jonas, Lawrence and John and son of John) was taken prisoner by the Indians and held for several years. Finally the Indians decrees that he must run the gauntlet and formed a circle, through which he was permitted to amke his escape if he could. The Indians of course thought it was impossible and they would kill him. At one place of the circle an old squaw and her two sons were stationed. She told him to come to her, which he did, and she saved him, apparently in the same manner in which Pocahontas, the Indian chief's daughter, saved the life of John Smith, in 1607. He was kept for some time by this old Indian Squaw and was traded off, in Plattsburg, New York, to some French trappers, from Canada, for a lot of tobacco.</span><br />

He married a French Canadian woman and raised a family of three sons. He died and is buried in Canada. One of the sons went to Plattsburg, New York, but we have no record of what became of him.</span><br />

The crew was taken to New Orleans where these two brothers made their escape and settled there. They both married French women and raisedfamilies, but we can find no record showing whether they are living or not.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">W. J. Furry, Seventh Term, was one of the last to leave Andersonville. He and his comrades fell in line facing the gate and were marched to the railroad where they were piled on an old train and run up to Macon, Ga. They were not taken from the train, but run back over the road, passing within sight of the walls of Andersonville to the end of the railroad at Albany. From there they were marched to Thomasville, a distance of fifty miles. They must have presented a striking appearance with their tattered rags, filth and weakness. Most of them were without shoes. Comrade Furry carried the meals which he had drawn for rations, in an old pants leg. From Thomasville they took a train for about 75 miles to Lake City, Florida, where they were kept about a week and then shifted to Baldwin. Here they were dumped in the pine forest after which they were left free and told to make their way, as best they could, to Jacksonville, Florida, where the union lines were. The last of the mournful parade of living skeletons arrived at Jacksonville as the twelve o'clock gun was fired. Furry himself weighed but 94 pounds, and he was a good specimen of the thirteen hundred.</span><br />
