Mrs Davis said she was Rachel Thompson born in County Armagh, Ireland July 27, 1845, daughter of Thomas Thompson with whom she came to America when 2 1/2 yrs old, the passage taking four weeks or four months, she didn't know which. Her sister, Eliza, 3 yrs older, also came. He, her father, was a man of integrity & probity & had a farm in the country but had moved in town here about a year before his death. He went out to the farm one morning, when my informant was about 16 yrs old & was murdered by the Baxters with whom he had had trouble. One of the Baxters was sent to the penitentiary for life & the other for 7 yrs. Her sister, Eliza married a Coleman & died a few months ago. He, her father, was then 47 yrs old when killed & was a Methodist. Thomas had a brother Robert who also came to this country & his son, William Thompson went to Anaheim, Calif where he died & his widow still lives there. Another bro, John went to Toronto, Canada & has descendants living there. Their father was John Thompson & he died in Ireland. She taught school out about Fairview once.

Office of Dr D. L. Walker, Main St, St Clairsville, O Aug 19, 1925 6 PM
I walked down here west of the Court House & found Dr Walker, who is a bachelor, a fine specimen [physically & mentally & asked him if he was of the family of Rev John Walker, D.D. who married the daughter of Rev Joseph Scroggs 1793-1873 whose daughter married Rev G.C. Vincent D.D., L.L.D. once President of Franklin College at New Athens, O & father of Rev Wm Vincent who in 1898 was preaching in the U.P. Church, Detroit. He said he was not, but his mother's family was one of preachers & I asked what name & he said Jennings. I asked if of the Obediah Jennings family & he said yes that her father was David Jennings, a brother of Obediah & another brother was Jonathan Jennings, first Governor of Indiana. He said his grandfather, David Jennings came to this county & was elected clerk of the courts. He had married Susie Daly in Fayette Co, Pa & by her he had a big family of sons & daughters. He was elected to congress from here & his wife, having grown fat & stout, he went off South with a Washington City woman, See book 18 page 19
V14 Page 3
& was never heard of afterwards except that once he wrote back to his wife wanting to return, but she didn't answer his letter. His daughter, Margaret Louise Tallman? Jennings married Dr Josephus Walker & D.L., my informant is their son. I told him of his great grandfather, Rev Dr Jacob Jennings being pastor at Dunlaps Creek & of Obediah Marrying a sister of Dr David Porter, all of which he knew & of having entertained Rev Dr Samuel Carnahan Jennings in my home in 1881. He knew him & he & his son Sylvester? had both visited them here & he heard them both preach the same day & S.C's was very good, but the sons was not. He said Judge Alexander here married a sister of his mother & when she died, he married another sister & have some descendants. He asked if I knew J.V. Thompson, the big coal land owner & he was very much surprised when I told him I was the party. He said he had read of my work & my upbuilding of the bank with grant interest & was always a sympathizer. I told him of our Dr Robert M. Walker & of the capers of Rev Dr Jacob Jennings mischievous son.

At office of J.M. Henderson, Henderson Bldg, Second Floor, Martins Ferry, O Aug 20, 1925 11 AM
Mr Henderson's wife is a daughter of William Cope who came from "Redstone" & was a first cousin of Louis Cope, Jap's father & he spoke of owning the entire square (I don't know whether himself or his wife) in which his office is located which is the heart of the city which he says has 16,000 population & going to & including the Desch Hotel where I had
V14 Page 7
left my satchel & collects rents, he said from 43 to 45 people. He told me of having had a commission for 20 yrs to sell 15,000 A of coal lands of J.N. Pew of Phila located in Harrison Co, O & during the holidays, he was meeting with the Y&O board whose agent for buying coal lands he has been for 25 yrs & laid the Pew lands before Messrs Robbins, Robinson, Patterson, & others & they told him they would buy 7,000 A @ $150 per acre which included his commission & pay $150,000 down & the balance in 8 E.A.P 5 1/2 % int. He took the train immediately for Phila & was back forthwith, with Mr Pew & closed the deal. It took about three mos to get the deeds passed & he had just recd a ck for some more of his coms.
He says the big No 8 merger has not gone through & that Edwd Johnson & Judge R.L. Wildermuth of the Lorain Coal & Deck Co concerned in it, are now in London, Eng. He says differences arose by which they could not get together or agree on prices. He said D.C. Wills of Federal Reserve Bank, Cleveland, O was ready to finance it, if they get together. He said the 2000 A he sold has a .59 ct freight rate advantage to the Lakes which makes it very advantageous for the Y&O. It is located near Germano, O. He says the coal men with whom he has been talking, feel that the next two years will be good ones in which to make coal sales. He said the

Van Swearingens of Cleveland, O "newsies" 20 yrs ago had sold ninety million dollars worth of Real Estate in Cuyahoga Co in the last two years & recently had bought 6000 A near Mentor, O, Garfield's old home & were improving it by putting in sewers & traction lines. He told me about Dan R. Hanna's death. Said one of the men working for Hanna ran across a fellow who had a flask of good scotch whisky & the sample being good, the man bought a case of professedly the same kind & had it sent to Dan R's cellar at his home up the Hudson, on a Saturday afternoon & Sunday about that time, Dan R. had three of his business associates at his home with him & drank the contents of the flask which they found so good, that Dan said he had a case of it in the cellar & getting some of it & they all being considerably under the influence of the liquor, drank of it without noticing the difference, with the result that when going down to dinner, Dan R., a grand big specimen of manhood dropped dead at the newell post at the stairs, another went blind at once & was sent to a hospital & died & the other two escaped death by a narrow margin. The cases contents were largely formaldehyde. He asked me to stay for lunch, but I declined.
Left at 11:44 AM
V14 Page 9
I then took the street car to Bridgeport, O & as the bus had just gone, I had to wait two hours for another bus & consequently while waiting, got my lunch at Harding & Burley's Restnt & leaving at 2 o'c, rode over with Dr Tubbs, a practicing physician here at Cadiz, O who had lived at New Athens, O & said R. R.G. Campbell was 86 yrs old (he is 91) & to ask him about the race to Columbus, O to get a charter for the college. He said the college quit functioning in 1918 & the buildings worth fully $70,000 had been bought by the school board who now use them for $15,000.
Arriving at Cadiz, O abt 3:15 PM, I went to C.M. Henderson's & got him to drive me out 7 miles in a drizzling rain & was soon:
At residence of Robert Gowan Campbell, New Athens, Harrison Co, O Aug 20, 1925 4 PM
I was admitted by a tall stately handsome middle aged woman who said she would call the doctor & going upstairs, he came down, a fine massive well formed man 6 ft 2 in high with a fine face with gray hair & gray mustache & chin whiskers, when I told him my mission, he said Rev Dr John Walker had died in 1845, ten years before he came here, he having come from Eastern
V14 Page 10
Penna in 1855. He said Rev Dr Geo C. Vincent married a daughter of Rev John Walker D.D., but says that Walker was older than Rev Dr Joseph Scroggs & he does not think he married his daughter, but did think that he married a sister of his. He went upstairs & brought down a couple of manuals of the U.P. Church of North America, one by William Melanethon Glasgow, pub by the U.P. Board of Pub at Pgh, Pa in 1903 ctg 680 pages which he says has many errors in it & he says the board at Pgh, Pa are selling them out to get rid of them & he thinks they could be had for .50 cts a volume.
On page 309, is an article on Rev Elijah Newton Scroggs (there are none but preachers noted in it) who was born at Newville, Cumb Co, Pa July 22, 1786, educated at Jefferson College & at Dr Anderson's Service Sem at Service, Pa licensed by Ohio Pres Aug 25, 1819 ordained by same Pres & was pastor at Scroggsfield, Longs Run, West Beavor, O & 4 miles Penna.
When I commenced making note of his record, said he was a brother of Rev Dr Joseph Scroggs of Ligonier, Pa but he now says he was his Uncle, being the youngest of 21 children. He was born on the Big Spring South of Newville, Pa.
V14 Page 11
Dr R.G. Campbell says that Rev Joseph Scroggs D.D. of Ligonier, Pa had but one daughter & her name was Jemima (named evidently for his Aunt Jemima Dunlap, living out in the neighborhood of where he preached) & she married "Harry" Elder, his full name being Alexander Henry Elder, who was at the U.P. Pgh Theological Seminary, Allegheny. Just across the street from the Western Theological Sem of the Pres Ch when he was there & they roomed together & he was everlastingly talking about her. He, Alex Henry Elder was born at Pleasant Unity, Westnd Co, Pa Nov 12, 1835, being a year younger than my informant & he died Feby 19, 1897. His charges were New Lisbon 1877-1882, Clever? '82,'83, '87 & Pastor at Cleveland, O until his death. He never heard of any children, but there may have been & he thinks she survived him. He knew her.
Rev D. Joseph Scroggs 1793-1873, had a son Rev Joseph Alexander Scroggs who married a Miss Pollock from over near Uniontown, Belmont Co, Ohio. She is dead. Thinks they were both well up in years when married & probably did not have any children. He retired from the ministry & lived at Canonsburgh, Pa
V14 Page 12
Doesn't know whether he was married before or not. He retired from the pastorate in 1883. He said to call at the Paisley house first one this side of the U.P. Church on the Main St, who was of the Pollock family & they could tell whether his widow was living & about his family.
Referring again to page 309 of the Glasgow Manual & Dr Campbell's statements, he said Dr John Walker had two daughters by his first wife. One married a Kirkpatrick & lived in Monmouth, Ills.
The other one was red headed & married a man who drank liquor wit the avowed intention of reforming & the doctor thinks the place where they lived was Americus, Ills.
Page 349 of Glasgow's manual says John Walker was born in Canonsburg, Pa 1787, was educated at Jefferson College & service Seminary, Pastor, mercer, Pa 1811-1814 & at Unity, Mt Pleasant O, Piney Fort & Cadiz, O 1815-1845 Founder of Franklin College, New Athens, O in 1825. He died Mch 8, 1845 from erysipelas.
Dr Campbell said he was not considered such a profound scholar but was very enthusiastic & an active worker, very pronounced against slavery to which reference in some way was made in
V14 page 13
most of his sermons. He owned the land on one side of the road & another man owned on the other side two adjoining farms & he was anxious to start a school & Cadiz also wanted the school if started. Dr Walker started on horseback for Columbus, O to get a charter. On the way, he fell in with a lawyer from Cadiz, O their rival for the location, also going to Columbus on the same mission & riding together, talked it over. On nearing Columbus, O, Dr Walker told the lawyer he wanted to take a road that turned off the Main Road & bade him goodbye & when out of sight of the other road, whipped his horse into a gallop & reaching Columbus by this by road which he knew he reached the State House, got the charter for Franklin College & was going down the steps of the State House with it in his pocket when he met the lawyer coming up the steps. He & the neighbor farmer then laid off the town on their farms. He was an M.D. as well as a D.D. & also at times followed that profession.
Rev Joseph Scroggs D.D. was born Mch 1, 1793 near Newville Pa & was Pastor of Donegal & Fairfield Churches, Ligonier, Pa from Oct 18, 1815 to Sept 3, 1872 & stated supply until
V14 Page 14
his death at Ligonier, Pa Apr 21, 1873 a pastorate at one church, his only charge of over 57 yrs. He was a man of great power & keen wit. & Dr Campbell said had not much patience with those who could not see the humorous side of life. He was given the degree of D.D. by Jefferson College in 1857. Dr Campbell thinks Rev Dr John Walker married his sister, not his daughter. The Rev James Brown Scouller's manual of the U.P. church in N.A. published in 1881 by the Patriot Pub Co, Harrisburg, Pa & now out of print, gives a fuller sketch of Joseph Scroggs & other relatives & is more reliable & I should get it.
On page 347, the article on Dr Vincent gives his name as George Carothers Vincent, see if his mother was a Carothers or how he got the name. He was a D.D. & L.L.D. & was born at Harrisville, Butler Co, Pa Apr 4, 1813. He married for his first wife a daughter of Rev Dr John Walker & by her had two sons that Dr Campbell knew of viz:
1. Rev Alvan Stuart Vincent, sketch of whom please see in the manuals & ask about at Paxton, Ills where he was pastor fr 1889-1896 or possibly at Emporia, Kansas where he became Stated Supply in 1897
V14 Page 15
2. Milton Vincent, another son, was not much account, doing principally chores abt the home.
Geo C. Vincent married for his second wife a Miss Hann who was a younger sister of Thomas Hanna 1799-1864, the husband of Sarah Foster Hanna of the Washington Pa Female Sem when my sisters Ruth & Lenora were there.
Rev Wm Hanna Vincent, Pastor in 1898 of a U.P. Church in Detroit, Mich was a son by this second wife.
His son, Rev Geo C. Vincent is now Pastor of the U.P. Church at Shadyside, Pgh, Pa. Has been to Europe & is a Cecil Rhodes Scholar & honor man. He had been a Pres, but came over to the U.P. church.
Dr John Walker had a son who preached, but who was silenced.
Dr R.G. Campbell says he was born Apr 4, 1834 & is in his 92d yr, was born in York Co, Pa 20 miles south of York, Pa near the Guinston Church, his grandfather Gowan having lived at Ettrick, Scotland. He says he was an officer or professor in Franklin College for 40 years & most of that time was business manager of the college as Vice Prest, the President not being active. He was pensioned by Carnegie in 1906, is 6 ft 2 in tall, a handsome massive man with fine countenance & wd pass for 75. He says his only sickness has been the mumps & measles when a child. He conducted the funerals of six of his old Church members, three of them elders within one year recently.

At residence of Crawford Dickerson Carrothers, Moorefield Tp, Harrison Co, O (P.O. Freeport R.D. 1) Aug 21, 1925 12:55 PM
Mr C. says they are just half way between Freeport & Cadiz & for the Hist of their family has gotten out the "Com & Biog Hist of Harrison & Carroll Cos, Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co 1891" & on page 494 is a sketch of his father Beatty Carrothers which I can see at home.
Mr Carrothers says that his great grandfather, James Carrothers & his wife had both died in Ireland which his mother told me was at Enniskellen, County Fermanagh & after their death (about two years after) their three sons & he thinks that was all the children his father ever spoke of, concluded to come to America & did so in 1803, all coming together as far as Canada. In order of ages, they were John, George & William.
John located in Canada & lived & died there. Said all three brothers were single when they came over together on the same ship. When Mr C. was in Tenn in 1895 2 1/2 miles west of Franklin, Tenn, he met Harry Carrothers about his own age & height & Sandy complexion with the Carrothers cheek bones who was a son of Wm who had died near Toronto, Can & Wm was a son of his C.D's [best guess]
V14 Page 22
father's Uncle John. Harry was living on the farm referred to in 1895 & was a farmer, married & had one son. Thinks they may be there yet. Mr C's father wrote to him & had one letter confirming the above relationship. Don't think there were any brothers or sisters left in Ireland.
George & William came to Washington Co, Pa together & were in the distilling business. He says that he knows nothing of what became of William Carrothers the brother of his grandfather who came to Wash Co, Pa with him & says his father never could tell them anything about him. He says his grandfather, George Carrothers is buried at the Nottingham Pres Ch g.y. in Moorefield Tp 1 1/2 miles from here & has a marker, a tall slender stone about the middle of the cem & his last wife, Ann is buried with him. Thinks his first wife might be buried on a Dunlap farm between Caseville & New Athens. Says, however, to look for two tombstones near the Rev Crawford mon by the gate at Nottingham g.y

Harriet got these from her mother, Eliza & Mrs McGrew

She says there was a drawer full of the old papers which were yellow with age on some of the writing was most faded away. She says her great grandmother Markle who before marriage was Rachel Blackburn, was an Episcopalian & tells of seeing a tombstone at Island Creek Cem which read "Some mothers have children, others have none, but this mother had twenty one".
She says Mr McGrew is her second husband & her mother was married twice & so was her grandmother & I will now ask her to give the record from her grandmother down as she seems to have a wonderful memory & a lot of Markle lore & was much elated to meet me, but I do not know how she will be on dates.

Mrs McGrew said a log rolled on her great Uncle Benjamin Markle injuring his skull when he was a boy & he was never right mentally after that.
She asked which Markle it was (she thought it was a Markle but it may have been a Blackburn relative) whose boy baby was seized by a bear & carried up a tree & they placed gingerbread about the root of the tree & the bear came down for it bringing the baby safely down, when they shot the bear. Later, when the mother was nursing this baby, she was struck by lightning & was found dead with the baby still ahold of the nipple nursing. She said this baby, a boy, became a noted man. Mrs McG's hair is still black & lots of it not a gray hair.

Going out Friday afternoon 21st to C.D. Carrothers, Mr C.M. Henderson told me of an operation he had at the hospital in Jany 1924 saying they found his gall bladder had fastened itself about the neck of his stomach at the opening & had 3/4's closed it up & they took his gall bladder out. He said everyone thought he would die & he was unconscious a considerable while & they pumped a gallon of salt water into his veins through needles in his breast & elsewhere & then while they were pumping the second gallon of salt water in his veins, which was done to make blood, he came too. He said when they opened Holmes M. Thompson, they found he had an ulcer in his stomach, so they made another opening in his stomach through which his food is discharged & he says he feels as well as he ever did, the discharge through the new opening having the effect of keeping the ulcer dormant, while discharging through the new opening.

Telling him about the episode of Ebenezer Finley being pursued by the Indians, & his father Rev James Finley praying for him, he recalls hearing his father tell it & says that it was in passing through a narrow aperture about the root of a tree that had blown down & a thicket of underbrush when Ebenezer passed the other boy who was scalped by the Indians. He said his father laughed about the unusual agility of that boy up to that point because of his being a lazy boy who wouldn't work. We passed the home built by the Curtis's a fine good sized frame house painted white, well located on a good farm, the building of which caused them to loose [sic] all they had. Mrs T. said it had been offered to her the 72 A with the house on at $3000 which she perhaps had better have taken. She got lunch & I ate three good big ears of corn just pulled in their garden & they were fine. He took me over to Summerfield, O in his Ford. She going too. They were very kind & asked me to come back. I bade them goodbye in Summerfield & having an hour to wait for the 5:15 PM bus for Caldwell, I went to the Barber shop
V14 Page 48
to get shaved & while waiting, a weazened [sic] up old man with glasses & gray moustache & whiskers all over his face came in at 4:22 Pm & said he was John Daly born in Monroe Co, O between Summerfield & Stafford on Jany 5, 1837 who said he enlisted at Summerfield & served 4 mos in the Civil War.
While waiting in front of the butcher shop, I got in conversation with a very much superior & well preserved old soldier who didn't seem as old as he was by 10 yrs or so. He was clean & a fine face & said his name was Joseph Calland born Sept 9, 1845 & served two yrs in Civil War & draws a pension of $50 per month, never having applied for the increase. He told of having been out beyond Columbus, O to London, O where a party he talked to there had had this year 40 acres in oats which threshed out 82 1/2 bus to the acre which he handed right to the elevator & got .36 cts a bushel which would give him returns of $30 per acre for the entire 40 acres which is certainly very good. A very good young chauffeur "Toad" Davis drove me to Caldwell & showed me where Mrs L.B. Frazier nee Taylor whom I want to see lives on the corner just beyond the Columbia Hotel where the bus
V14 Page 49
stops & which he says is the best hotel in the town. He says Mr Frazier is a lawyer & that she has a brother John Young living there. I just had a half hour in which I got my dinner at the Columbia Restnt & left at 6:40 PM for Marietta & came to this the Lafayette Hotel where I am writing this in room 302, reaching here at 8 PM last night. It is now 10 PM Sunday night 23d.
When out at Waterford today, Mrs McGrew gave me a good book to look at while she was setting the table on which I had been writing for lunch. It was: "The Beautiful Story, A Companion Book to the Bible written & edited by J.W. Buel, the renowned writer & historian assisted by Rev T. DeWitt Talmage [sic] D.D. printed by Historical Publishing Co Phila, Pa St Louis, Mo Chicago, Ills Toronto Canada, Auckland, New Zealand, Sydney, Australia, Calcutta, India, Belize, British Honduras.

Miss Nellie Carothers Tea room No 306 Putnam St, Marietta, O Aug 25, 1925 11:50 AM
This is a very attractive well kept place to eat. I had tea, ice cream & cake & many people were there being served. She is a well poised business woman somewhat like Sarah F. Ainsworth in appearance, but much younger. She at once said to see her Aunt, Mrs Devol & when I told her I had seen her, she gave me the record of her father who was the oldest of the nine children of Rezin D. Carothers viz:
Benoni Henderson Carothers born June 12, 1847 - died Sept 25, 1905 who on June 17, 1874 was married at Chester, Ills to Marsella Staley

Going about 2:30 PM to see him & speaking of Mrs Beman Gates being born in our county, he showed me on his desk, a picture of his wife, who he said was her daughter.
V14 Page 69
He phoned to Geo J. Blazier at the Marietta College & arranged for him to show me the old newspaper files to see if they gave anything of the shooting of Barrett who carried off Aunts Margaret & Nellie Jack. I accordingly took a taxi & was soon at:
The library of the Marietta College on 5th St near Putnam, marietta, O Aug 25, 1925 3 PM
He got out several bound volumes of old newspaper files commencing with 1811 & in one of them the Western Spectator Vol 2 no 14 published at Marietta, O under date of Jany 18, 1812 was reported:
"Died
At Charleston, Mass on Sunday week Commodore Samuel Nicholson Senior officer of the Navy of the U.S. Act 69 yrs"
I think this was the father of Albert Gallatin's second wife, Hannah. Mr Blazier was very kind & said he had stayed overnight at the Summit Hotel & I invited him when passing through again to stay overnight with me. I found nothing in the files about Barrett only getting over 1811, 1812 & 1813.
Left 4:20 PM

I went from there to the residence of Geo E. Elliott, No 609 Putnam, who is janitor at the college & waited for his return & he came about 5 o'c.

I started up the hill from the Malta Hotel at 9 AM & walked up the hill & first found Thompson Simeral working with his cabbage patch & he brought me up to the house to his sister, Nancy Plummer who says she is 77 yrs old, the oldest of the family, born in Westmoreland Co, Pa & her parents moved to Washington Co, O when she was 2 yrs old say in 1850. Her father, Thompson Simeral born May 1, 1823 died 1896 & she says there were at least two boys & two girls older than him. His father was Alexander Simeral who is the earliest ancestor of whom they know the name. Her brother John L. has also come in.
They know nothing of any brothers or sisters of Alexander nor of any cousins of their father on the Simeral side. He died before his son Thompson was married.

1:11 PM. Have just finished an excellent dinner which they asked me to have with them in the kitchen as I have been writing on the big table in the dining room. Taking the births of the children of Alexander Simeral on page 72 & with the known date of Thompson's birth, we can safely estimate the date of Williams' birth, the oldest as 1807 to 1810, making Alexander born say 1785 to 1790 which is about the right age for a child of Sarah Simeral, daughter of Samuel Thompson, counting from what we know of the births of her sisters, Agnes Fulton & Mary McGrew.

At residence of Eber Rees Finley, Deerfield Tp, Morgan Co, O (P.O. Malta O RFD 1) Aug 28, 1925 7 PM
We got here at 4:45 PM coming out from McConnelsville with the family in their auto & have had a good supper everything tasting good. We intended driving over to David & Albert Finley's after supper, but the boys had gone over to the other farm for a cow & were late getting back & tired, so we couldn't go as they were the drivers of the car. Mr Finley says he talked with an old neighbor woman, Miss Price over 80, who gave him the names of the children of his grandfather's Robert Finley children seven in number which I am entering in a genealogical table commencing on page 116.
It is now 9:30 PM & Mr Finley has gotten nervous & is not able to give the record of his sister, Mary Ellen & has said we will go there in the morning, as she lives near here & will complete her record on page 118.
V14 Page 113
Aug 29, 1925 7:15 AM
Have just finished our breakfast & while they are doing the chores, I will note that we arrived here at Eber R. Finley's at 4:45 PM yesterday afternoon. He says he was named for a relative on his mother's side, Eber Rees who was guard for many years at the State Penitentiary at Columbus, O. This home is the fourth home built on the 80 A taken up by Eber's grandfather, Robert, all of which is owned by him & also 47 A adjoining which they bought.
Eber thinks his father was 18 or 19 yrs old when the family moved to Ohio. Coming out yesterday afternoon, he said Amos, who I met Thursday at the reunion, a tall perfect specimen of manhood over 6 ft, is a son of Amos, who was a son of Abram J., the youngest of the children of the original John, see pages 81 & 80. The elder Amos was a large fine looking man fully 6 ft 4 inches & when trying to put out a fire which started in the fields, he inhaled so much smoke that he died & his only child, the Amos who I met, was born after his father's death.
Eber said his own father was a wagon maker & just after his marriage, he set up business at Triadelphia, O two miles from here & there his first three children were born, the other
V14 Page 114
children were born on this farm. The third house on the farm located just east of this, burned down one Sunday, starting from kindling a big fire from shavings which set the roof afire. Eber was then a boy. His elder brothers went up to the attic in an effort to put out the fire, but made a misstep on the lath & came tumbling down with the plastering & the aperture thus made, so accelerated the flames that the house was consumed. He thought it possible that his grandfather's bible may have then been burned up.
Eber said at 6:11 o'c this morning that Samuel Finley, son of Old Uncle David was so tall, he thought near 7 ft that he went bent over so as not to make his height so apparent. His first wife was Margaret Ray from this section, a daughter of Samuel Ray & his wife, Sarah. Both buried at Deerfield g.y. No issue. He married 2d a young girl of 26 who lived with him, of an unsavory reputation named Tamer Grubb. He was probably 50 yrs older than her & when she had a baby not long after her marriage, Eber said his father knew Samuel was then no good for begetting a child & on pressure, she owned up that it wasn't his & told who the father was. Samuel had no issue whatever.
V14 Page 115
Jane Moore, his, Samuel's, niece, daughter of James Finley & mother of Mrs Harper was also very tall & a large woman.
Eber had "flu" three years ago & has been ailing since until last June he has been having the services of a chiropractor & has been drinking three quarts of water in an evening which has resulted in dislodging a coating on his bowels so that he is now back to his normal health.
Coming in this afternoon from Mrs McDonald's Saturday 29th, Alta F. (Eber's daughter) said there was a young Paul Finley at Zanesville, O. Speaking of the excellence of their pickles, three of which I ate last night & two this morning for breakfast, I asked her how they made their potato salad which was so good & she said they cooked their potatoes with a little bit of onion in them & mixed with mayonnaise dressing adding some mustard seeds & I think some mustard. It was the best I ever ate.
We reached town at 2:40 PM & I went to the Fox barber shop & got shaved.

Eber says that Deborah Enlow Finley, first wife of John Finley the younger, page 80, was thrown from an old horse she was riding over by their gate & her leg was frightfully broken, so that the bone protruded & stuck in the ground & she died from it. She is buried at Deerfield g.y.

At 11 AM, when leaving David B's, I noticed a thicket or woods full of extra large & tall locust trees just in front of his house on the hillside facing the finest I have ever seen. His farm contains 165 A his wife said & Eber said it was extra good land. Mrs Finley is a very fine lady & it is due to her care in preserving the records & knowing just where she had put them that I got the very important family records on pages 120 to 123. In going to David B's, we turned off the road to the right, just beyond the present home of Silvey A's mother & brother an old small brick house.

AT residence of Mary Eleanor McDonald, Deerfield Tp Morgan Co, O (P.O. Malta, O route 1) Aug 29, 1925 11:33 AM
Mr Eber R. Finley dropped me here at his sister's & her daughter Blanche recd us & her mother & father have come in. Eber, when bidding me goodbye here, said he would want to get a book when it comes out. His sister, Mrs McD. says her father, David Finley had a sister Betty Mealy (she pronounced it Mailey) which accounts for the mother of Robert Finley Mealy out from Claysville, Pa who I saw in June 5th 1923. It adds still another additional name to the children of the original Robert, which neither Geo W. or Eber R. knew of. Mrs McDonald says she never lived out here & for that reason, she supposes her brother Eber never heard of her. She said she never saw her "Aunt Betty Mealy" & does not know about her family, but I told her they were living near Claysville, Pa. She never saw the old bible of her grandfather, Robert Finley, nor does she remember or know who got it.
Blanche has brought out their own family bible & from it I am making out the table on page 118 & 117. The bible is a well preserved small one printed by American Bible Society NY in 1882.

Mr McDonald thinks his wife's Uncle James Finley page 81, married a Moore & she thinks he went to Hocking Co, O & knows nothing further. I see on page 116 that Eber said last night that he married Sarah Darlington. There is 185 A in this farm & Mr McD says he has 40 A three miles over where Franks [sic]

Kennebec Hotel office Aug 29, 1925 9 PM
I have just come in & find several memorandums I had penciled down yesterday & today & am making note of them here:
Silvey A. Finley said yesterday see page 107 that there is a:
Robert Finley at Gaysport, O a bachelor. This is just across the line in Muskingum Co & I have arranged to stop there in the morning on my way to Zanesville. He is 75 to 80 yrs old & is rich. Eber told of his keeping his wool because of low prices & it accumulated year after year until he had a crop which sold for $18,000 & it was so matted together he had to take a pick to separate it. It is 14 miles from here & the bus stops there.
Mrs Harper, who I saw on the street in front of this hotel said that neither David nor Samuel, brothers of her grandfather James Finley, children of old Uncle David, had any children although both were married. Samuel was married twice: 1st to Margaret Ray an excellent woman & 2d to Tamer Grubb, a young girl of abt 26 who was bout 50 yrs younger than him, who is still living down back of Ringgold, O though very feeble & old. while her great Uncle Samuel was an active Meth Epis, this wife was a bad character. Said to ask Eber.
V14 Page 135
Hiram Finley who was at the reunion had a sister who married a Tannehill & her son, Howard Tannehill is an attorney at Zanesville, O. Hiram's half brothers, Albert & David live not far from Eber's she said & Mrs Harper thinks David would have his father's bible.
She said Mrs Payne has an old Finley bible. She is a daughter of Isom, who was son of Samuel, son of old Uncle John. It is probably her grandfather Samuel's bible she has, see page 81 & go see her at Worthington, O near Columbus, O. Mr Harper then came up with Eber R. Finley & if he had not hunted him up, I would have missed him, as he had about given up finding me & was just starting home.
James F. Daniel said that Isom Finley broke up his father, Samuel, who kept furnishing him money & endorsing for him. he said Isom had a store & his father raised him $7000 in cash once to go to Phila to buy goods & he came back home without money or goods. he fell in with some gamblers who fleeced him out of his money.

He was married in Deerfield Tp by Rev W.J.

At residence of Robert Henderson Finley, Blue Rock Tp, Muskingum Co, O (P.O. Duncan Falls RFD 1 Ohio) Aug 30, 1925 9:25 Am
I arrived here about 8:15 AM on the bus from McConnelsville, O & was met at the kitchen door by Mr Finley who introduced me to his niece, Mrs Carrie Gault Siler of No 1895 East 101st St, Cleveland, O. Her son Robert Lyle Siler has come in. He is president of his class & is a junior at East High school Cleveland, O & is preparing to enter college, most probably Princeton. Mr Finley says his father was James & his grandfather Robert Finley. Says his grandfather came from Penna & he thinks from Washington Co as told to him by his father & his Uncle Stephen. His grandfather died in this Tp before his time & thinks he was not very old. Said he took a severe cold & Dr Mason was called & thought there was not much the matter, but he died in a few days from pneumonia.
As near as this date can be fixed, it was 1838. Robt H. said he was buried on the farm, but when he, my informant, who was born in 1856, was 7 yrs old say 1863, he was taken up & moved to Duncan Falls Cem right near the town & was re-interred there in "the old yard" there are two right side by side. He remembers that they told him
V14 Page 138
that he had been buried 25 yrs which would make it 1838. Mr F. remembers his grandmother Finley very well & in an old bible, her death is recorded as occurring in 1877. He says his grandmother was a German from Fredericktown, Maryland, the Barbara Frietsche town. he thinks she was considerable over 80 as much as 85 or more when she died. She died up at the home place where she lived with her youngest son Henry S. Finley, father of Franz Sigel Finley, Atty of Mt Pleasant, Iowa with whom I corresponded. Henry S. fought in the Civil War under Genl Sigel & named his son for him. Thinks she was born in Frederick, Md. A "Historical Atlas of Muskingum Co, Ohio, illustrated L.H. Everts & Co 1875"
On page 22 3/4 under Wayne Tp, it says:
as early as 1802, a portion of section 32 was settled on by James Finley. He was a weaver by profession from Pennsylvania & squatted on the land".
Mrs Siler thinks this was their earliest ancestor of whom they have nay record but Mr Finley does not know whether he was the father of his grandfather Robert or not, but he may have been. Says he knows nothing of any brothers of Robert & thinks that he
V14 Page 139
was the only one of the family out here. However, look up at Zanesville for his will & for deeds to & from him. His niece, Mrs Siler says F.S. Finley of Mt Pleasant, Iowa has figured out & states that this Robert was a cousin (thought first) of David, John & Robert, the three brothers who came to Morgan Co, O see pages 80 & 81.
On the same page in the Atlas, under Blue Rock Tp it say Blue Rock Tp was organized Jany 6, 1814 & was 6 miles square. It was subdivided into two road districts Apr 23, 1814. "There being no cause so that crossing could be made. Robert Finley, clerk, stood on one bank of the river & swore the constable James Larrison, who stood on the other side, hat off & hand up into office." "the Tp was mostly settled by Pennsylvanians from Chester Co. Robert Finley settled where H.S. Finley now lives".
"The first couple married in the Tp were Stephen Reeve & Mary Briggs on Apr 7, 1803. Reeve now lives on Salt Creek in his 95th yr. The next couple married in the Tp were Robert Finley & Catherine Baker, a half sister of Samuel Outro in 1811".
Duncan Falls in is South corner of Wayne Tp which extends up to Zanesville.
In the Illustration is the Brewery of Merkle Bros in Zanesville, O.
Mr Finley says his grandfather had six sons & one daughter. I am making a table commencing on page 142 listing them he says in proper order of birth.
V14 Page 140
Mrs Siler says her recollection is that her Uncle Stephen, her Aunt Mary & her grandfather told her that James, who settled in Wayne Tp in 1802 was the father of Robert, who settled in Blue Rock Tp. Robert H. recalls being told that at the time of the big flood in 1818, his grandfather, Robert Finley carried out his three oldest children, John, James & Stephen in a bed tick with their heads sticking out, the water being up to his chin & it was with great difficulty that he kept his feet as the water at some low places was deeper. At the same time, Robert's wife, Catharine carried out the baby which was Mary. This farm was a mile above here & in the flood of 1913 the house was swept away & also a Sutro home & another.
Mrs Siler says she will send the additional information about her father & brother.
An old bible here printed in Stanford in 1866 by Case, Lockwood & Co they thin must have belonged to an old Methodist preacher Rev McAbee who used to stop often with Mr Finley's father, has the following records:
"Isaac Newton McAbee born in Westmoreland Co, Pa Aug 2, 1804"
Mrs Siler says F.S. Finley has all the record including the old bible
V14 Page 141
of his grandfather James Finley & to apply to him. He probably would have the Robert Finley bible. They have gotten dinner & it is now 1 PM & I am having dinner with them as I left too early at 7 this morning to get breakfast. Mr Finley appeared this morning in his bare feet & is of the typical, heavy set Finley build. Mr Finley said he was a pretty bad boy & apropos thereof said their family doctor once said in speaking of him & his mother nee Nancy Henderson that "Nancy Henderson had a very nice girl, but her boy was a raging lion". He said the land where this house is, was bought either by his grandfather Robt Finley or three of his older sons including James from a Thompson, John or William he thought, who lived on the hill above & who his grandmother told him was a very good religious man. Of this Thompson land, Robert's Uncle Stephen got 320 A on the hill & this tract went to James viz 198 A. The home tract taken up by Robert went to his son Henry S. The other two sons John & David went to Ottumwa, Iowa before my informant was born. The corn crop still continues good & Lorenzo Walker said this morning that he never had seen as good a crop of corn, as this year. Coming down on the bus, a Mrs Kelly of Youngstown, O nee Russell sd her grandfather here, Benson Russell was 92 yrs old. Said this Berry Hotel was built up & owned & run by a colored man, who sold it 3 yrs ago & built himself here & very fine

I then continued out to the end of South Court street & turned to the right on west Mulberry St & crossed the bridge over the Hocking River & was on Richland Ave & walking out it a long stretch along a rich bottom planted in garden where I saw over 50 at work on the right & which coming in tonight Elmer Searls of Albany, O my autoist of the afternoon said was the 400 A of the Ohio State Hospital, sequestered on the
V14 Page 149
hill above, among the trees, & have he said 1500 patients & 200 attendants, I bore to the left & continuing on some distance, came to 374 Richland, the home of Geo M. Jack where I found his wife hanging the washing out on the line. She came in the house & gave me record. See pages 144-147.
Paul Cotner told he his mother Mrs H.W. Cotner, 1716 N. High St Columbus, O is a genealogist at the museum at Ohio State there. Get tel no in directory.
Mrs Geo M. Jack said a brother of Edward Jack was very wealthy & lived & died in some distant part of the U.S., but there was not enough get up in the relatives here to go after his fortune. Said to ask Edwd Bolton about him. Edward Jack's children were all born before he came here, probably in Guernsey Co, O as he came here from there in the month of a March. They had lots of hogs, cattle, horses & stock on their farm. She said a bus left Athens a quarter before eleven & came by her house so at that time, we went out & hailed it & the driver, Howard Lowther, let me out at Elmer Searls just as we were entering Albany & arranged with him to take me right away out
V14 Page 150
to Boltons, the old Jack home. While waiting for him to get ready, met his grand niece, little Helen Higgins whose mother is dead & whose father is a son of W.E. Higgins of Waynesburg,Pa whose wife now dead was a Tewkesbury, a sister of Mr Searls' wife. Helen is a very thoughtful helpful little girl. Driving out, we came to the:
Haning Cemetery Alexander Tp, Athens Co, O Aug 14, 1925 12:12 PM

We then drove down the hill to the left in front of the long g.y. & were:
V14 Page 151
At residence of W. Edward Bolton, Alexander Tp, Athens Co, O (P.O. Albany, O RD 2?) Aug 31, 1925 12:40 PM
Mr Bolton was away at his work & would not be back until the end of the week, but his wife, who was very kind, brought out the old bible of Gibson Daugherty inscribed in front with his name on July 10, 1870 & published by the Am. Bible Soc at NY 1867 which gave record as follows:
"Gibson Daugherty, born June 1, 1821.
Margaret S. Daugherty born Jany 29, 1818
Mary E. Daugherty, dau of Gibson & Margaret born Apr 1, 1858
Albert J. Daugherty, son of G & M Daugherty born Oct 13, 1854
Gibson & Margaret Daugherty (nee Jack) was married Apr 22, 1852
Gibson Daugherty died Aug 10, 1881
Margaret S. Daugherty died Aug 30, 1892
Albert J. Daugherty died June 11, 1885 in Hospital at Fargo, Cass Co, South Dakota"
Another old big split in two bible printed by Am Bible Soc NY in 1866 had this family record in it:
"Jane Dugen was born in 1773 died in 1826 married Joseph Minteer 1785. Joseph Minteer Snr was born in 1770, died 1823
Nelly Minteer was born 1794, Sept, died in Sept 30, 1872. Married Edward

Euphemia Jack (natural daughter of Mary Ann Jack see page 145) was born Jany 28, 1857 ob Oct 13, 1919
Joseph Jack died Aug 7, 1897"
On an old crumpled leaf of a bible record that Mrs Bolton found folded up in one of the old testaments was the following record of:
"Births
Nancy Jack was born Oct 6, 1824
Elizabeth Jack was born Apr 25, 1826
Margaret S.C. Jack was born Jany 29, 1828
*Matthew Jack was born Mch 23, 1831
Nelly Jack was born Nov 16, 1832
Phebe Jack was born Jany 13, 1834"
(*The last figure on this was torn off & I thought it should be 1830, but Mrs Hamilton, who I saw later in the day, insisted so strenuously that her father & mother were born on the same day & year, that I changed it & then changed Nelly's birth from 1831 to 1832. I think Mrs H. is wrong that her father is just 1 yr older than her mother & his date should be 1830 & Nelly's 1831. See what his bible record, if found, says.)
Milford went up in the attic & brought down the following record written on a sheet of paper:
V14 Page 153
"Robert Dickey was born Mch 24, 1780 (or 1786)
Robert Dickey & Nellie Minter [sic] married Nov 1, 1810
The first child:
William Dickey was born Aug 14, 1811
William Dickey & Sarah Allaway was married Dec 29, 1831.
Sarah Allaway was born Sept 15, 1804"
I then started at 1:15 PM with the children, viz Garnet, 11 yrs old, but large & broad but lithe & active & weighing fully 150 lbs, but lithe active & jolly & Russell, 9 yrs old & little tow headed Mary 5 yrs old, as guides to the graves up on the hill grown up all around with trees, through which the sheep run, almost straight up & which I never would have found without them & we were at:
The Old Jack graveyard on a sharp narrow ridge among the trees, Alexander Tp, Aug 31, 1925
This was on land owned by the Jacks when the graves were made, but is now owned by Sandusky Wood Yard & is to the right of the main road going past the old Jack brick house, but to the left of a road which turn to the right, just below the house, the Jacks having sold what was beyond this last road. The inscriptions there on good, well preserved stones are:

Left 1:40 PM
Mrs Bolton says her father, Hiram Buck living now at Reedsville in Meigs Co was born Oct 1, 1836 in Ohio near Guysville, O. He had a brother Geo Buck.
I recall that I found Bucks among the Jacks in Switzerland Co, Indiana in Oct 1921.
We were back at the Bolton house at 1:55 PM & Mrs Bolton had found an old letter directed to "Mr Edward Jack, Downington, Meigs Co, Ohio postmarked Phila Oct 9, 3 cts paid as follows"
"Phila Oct 10, 1854
Mr Edward Jack, Dear Sir," States in "answer to your inquiry, our grandfather, Edward Jack lived better than one mile & half from Newton Stewart, the town land of Balley Mulerty. My grandmother's name was Mary Caldwell. My father Edward Jack was born 1755, my Uncle John Jack 1757, Uncle James 1759.
The family bible records my Uncle James having three children before he left Ireland viz:
V14 Page 155
Agnes Jack
Edward Jack born 1785. It was he to whom the letter was directed, see item 34 above which figures his birth as Aug 24, 1785
& Mary Jack
My father Edward Jack was married to Catharine Keys. He then settled in Newton Steward. She had 3 sons & 2 daughters.
By his second marriage, he had no children. She died, he then married our mother Margret Lutch. She had just two children, myself & sister Catharine. Our eldest brother Oliver was a surgeon in the British Navy. He died a good many years since in London, brother Richard died in this country, my brother John, the youngest lived in Phila for better than 30 yrs. He was a printer. We came here after my father's death 1834. My mother died the same year. We lived with our brother until his death. He died in 1850. He was never married, both our sisters is [sic] dead, one here & one in Ireland. We are the only children alive from Father's family. My father never heard from your father or his brother John, but he always understood my Uncle John was never married. Let us know what he done for a living or in what part of the country he resided.
Elizabeth Jack
Catherine Jack"
V14 Page 156
Another letter from them two years letter [sic I think he means later] was:
"Phila Nov 10, 1856
To Dear Cousin Edward
Ackg receipt of letter from him they say they had a letter from Lancaster that James is going to break up house keeping next spring & intends to rent most of the farm. Speaks of a John Fulton & also excuses themselves for not receiving his son as they lived alone & were timid about strangers & were very sorry they didn't know it was him.
Elizabeth Jack
Catharine Jack"
On Saturday last Aug 29th, a Mr Joe Jack from Nevada was here to see the old place & was going to Nelsonville, O to visit his niece who was with him. He was a nephew of Joseph Jack the bachelor.
There was an Edward Jack killed in a mill explosion. He was a Civil War soldier & is buried upon the hill, see item 34 page 154. The widow, Louisa Jack, living up near Albany, O is his widow & a son of his named Clark Jack is also buried there. He was drowned in the creek down here when 14 yrs old before his father was killed.
V14 Page 157
Mrs Bolton says Jacks had 600 A here at one time & kept selling off until there was only 70 Acres left. She says old man Dickson living in the neighborhood says this house is over 100 yrs old. They say Edward Jack was killed Apr 24, 1891 & when found, he had a tight grip on the monkey wrench so Milford says. The children I saw, now counting the baby viz:
Milford Bolton was born Aug 11, 1912
Garnet Bolton was born Apr 1, 1914
Russell Bolton was born Aug 12, 1916
Mary Bolton was born Mch 27, 1920
The old small bible printed by Am Bible Soc in NY in 1869 which Mrs Bolton sent her son Milford on horseback over to her married daughter's to get, has this record, all of which I think I had from previous data.
"Margaret S. Daugherty died Aug 30, 1892 at 10 o'c the night, buried Sept 1.
Joseph Jack died Aug 7, 1897
Gibson Daugherty died Aug 10, 1891
Mary Ann died Apr 4, 1888
It was raining 2:30 to 3:30 & we waited & Mrs Bolton found a cft signed by Ethan Allen Brown, Gov of Ohio, which shows appointment of Edward Jack as Capt of 8th Co of 2nd Reg, 1st Brigade & 6th Dist of the militia of this state, dated July 7, 1819. She also produced a deed from Wm

Dudley & wife to Edward Jack dated in 1848 wherein for $1700 two tracts, one of 100 A & the other of 80 A are conveyed.
Left 3:33 PM
We then drove on over very slippery roads until we came to the home of Mr Searls' daughter who married a Carbaugh, the only child of a Mr Carbaugh who died recently owning two farms & other property which the widow & son inherit. We drove in the shed there & Mr Searls put on chains & his daughter brought each of us out a big piece of good custard pie. We drove on some five miles further & were at the:
Residence of Eli Hamilton, Alexander Tp, Athens Co, O (P.O. Albany O route 3) Aug 31, 1925 4:50 PM
Mrs Bolton said she had given one of the Jack bibles to Mrs Hamilton, a relative & we came over to see it. Mrs H. is a big broad fleshy woman of I should say 200 lbs & is a daughter of Matthew Jack. As she had the Reeves bible, she gave the one Mrs Bolton gave her to her sister, Sarah Sees, wife of Samuel Sees, who is living right in Everson, WVA a little mining place not far from Clarksburg, WVA
V14 Page 159
She produced from the Reeves bible of her grandfather Reuben Reeves a couple sheets of paper on which the record was written as follows:

They are all married, but Carrie Ethel & she is working out.
Rosella Jack, my informant, said her mother had two children younger than her, see page 146 & that she was born on the Jack farm in this Tp, but not in the brick house on Feby 2, 1859 & was married July 26, 1883 in Scipio Tp, Meigs Co, O to Eli Hamilton born Dec 1, 1858 in this Tp, son of Wesley Hamilton & wife Mary Wyant. No issue. Mr Hamilton says the brick house was known as the Dudley house & he probably built it, the brick Eli said, were made right there on the place. Dudley sold the farm to Edward Jack in 1848 & Mr Hamilton thinks that was when he came here from Guernsey Co, O.
He says Edward Jack had a son James who he thinks was older than Joseph. James married & had children, lived in this Tp & thinks died East of Albany, up on the hill above Chase. He was an old man when Mr Hamilton was a kid.

Mrs Hamilton says positively that her father & her mother who was Jerusha Reeves were born on exactly same day & year. Mr Hamilton thinks the Dudley farms were the first bough by Edward Jack & he remembers when the area up this way was bought by Joe, Mary Ann & Sarah Jane in his recollection. He thinks his wife's grandmother Jack was buried up on the hill by her husband. He recollects seeing her about the house before she died, old & tottery, but has no recollection of seeing her husband. Mrs H.

The probate judge said to see Daniel Lappin over 80 down at the Mayor's office as he had been a county officer 45 yrs ago. I went there & he had just gone & I followed him around to his home at 147 E 2d St. His son thought I had better see DR C.O.

Mr Lappen came in & told me of a Wilson Moore living near who is over 90 so I am going to see him.
Leaving 11:40 AM
I then walked down to the third house back of the court house, a fine brick residence & was at:
Residence of Wilson Patrick Moore No 88 S. Market St, Logan, O Sept 5, 1925 11:45 AM
Mr Daniel Lappin came in & told me about Mr Moore being past 90 yrs & on
V14 Page 207
talking with him, a well preserved smooth faced slender man, he said he was born in Athens Co, O June 2, 1834 son of Josiah Moore a moulder who was born in Uniontown, Fayette Co, Pa & who went to Cincinnati from Uniontown, Pa & worked at his trade & then came up to Athens Co & married & settled. He said he was named for Wilson Patrick who came to Ohio & lived the last 20 yrs of his life with his father. His father, he said, was the son of Abraham Moore. His daughter, Mrs Charles Keynes (pro Kines) a large matronly woman was also there & said they had been at Uniontown last year, but did not learn much about their family. I told them I would make inquiry & write them. I think that he comes of the Jacob D., Isaac A. & "Dick" Moore family.
Left at noon.
Mrs Keynes advised that I go to see Miss Moore who is a school teacher & whose mother, Mrs Samuel Moore died abt six months ago, so I walked up to the:
Samuel Moore Residence 131 W 2d St Logan, O Sept 5, 1925 12:10 PM
Miss Wolf said Saml Moore had married a Patton & that Miss Moore was in Columbus, O & she advised me to see her sister, Mrs Dr Allen, so I walked up to:
V14 Page 208
Residence of Dr D.O. Allen 188 W. Main St Logan, O Sept 5, 1925 12:20 PM
Mrs Allen came to the door & said she was just at dinner. She said her father, Samuel Moore, had married a Patton & that William Moore of Green Tp was her grandfather & he had a brother David Moore to whom he sold his farm. She referred me to Mrs M.N. Parsons 84 today, first cousin of her father at the Parsons Millinery just beyond the court house & who she had often heard speak of her Uncle David. Just then, Dr Allen came from the yard & I walked down to Parsons Millinery store & a lady said Mrs Parsons had just gone to dinner, in fact I had met her.
I then went to the Hotel Ambrose & found her having her birthday dinner there with her daughter. When she came out at 1:10 PM, I spoke to her & she sat down in the hotel office & said her Uncle David Moore had married Mary Stanton & he did not have a brother Samuel, but said her Uncle David moved to Kansas where his son was recorder at Emporium Kansas.
Her mother, Margaret Moore was the 5th of 10 children of Wm Moore Sr & married a Sterling which was her maiden name & her husband
V14 Page 209
Mr Parsons was a seafaring man & had been first to plant the Stars & Stripes in Japan. She said there were several boys in her grandfather's family viz: among others William, David, Eden etc but no Samuel, so it was not the line I was hunting. She said she did not Know of any of her Moores having married Finleys. Being thus unable to locate the Samuel & David Moore, brothers, who married Mary & Sarah Finley, sisters, daughters of "Uncle" Robert, I concluded to pack up & took the 2 o'clock bus for Columbus, O where I arrived 4:15 PM & got the 4:50 PRR train for Pittsburgh Pa where I arrived at 10:05 PM & am now at 12:22 Am Sept 6, 1925 at Room 1052 Wm Penn Hotel & will record my itinerary of 2631 miles in my cash acct book W page 205 if I dont' get sleepy & also enter there for preservation the detail record of my 198 conferences with 434 people covering seven families during the month & a day from Aug 4, 1925 when I got to Steubenville, O until Sept 5, 1925 when I left Logan & having covered 13 of the 88 Ohio Counties & parts of three other Counties.

I hope he is singing the praises of the Redeemer, he has gone from a world of affliction, sorrow & trouble to a better land I hope where all is peace & joy, he had been afflicted so long."

I got in Phila from NY at 11 o'clock & came here to see Wm Harris Finley, who has a desk & window here. He said he was born in Oct 1846 & would be 79 yrs old next month, a son of Dr Clement Alexander Finley & great grandson of John, who was killed by the Indians in Lurgan Tp, Cumb Co, Pa & in 1757 & in that was as far back as he could go. I told him I could go back the balance of the way for 300 yrs further on his line. He is a virile active man, with gray moustache & is a little under average height. He says he has given but little attention to the family records, but says his niece, Miss Matilda Finley McKee, dau of his oldest sister living at Flushing, Falmouth, England, with her Aunt Lydia M. Finley (sister of my informant) where they have lived for 20 yrs may have some records as she commenced once to gather them but gave it up. He says it is possible some of her records may be at his home. He took my address & will send them to me if he finds any. He said he wanted a book & he thought
V14 Page 218
Leighton Finley had gotten the record of their family, but that was 20 yrs ago. He said this sister, himself, & a younger brother in Merchantville? NJ were all that survive of his father's children. Asking him about James Finley, an older or oldest son of John Finley of Lurgan Tp & brother of his, my informant's, grandfather Samuel Finley, he said his grandson, Col Charles B. Finley, a lawyer, lived at Paoli, Pa & saw service abroad in the World War & was aged abt 40 odd. His father was Charles Finley also of Elkton, Md & his father James Finley (son of John 1713-1757) married as his second wife, a Moore, who was a sister of my informant's mother, also a Moore, the wife of Dr Clement A. Finley, his father. He was very cordial & kind.
Left 12:25 PM
Mch 29/26 From the McCoy letters examined yesterday, see book 16 p 230-31, I see his reference above was not to his grandfather's brother James, but to his father's brother Dr James B.
Yesterday, when at the Cadruns [best guess] Book Shop abt 4:30 PM, Chas P. Everett showed me a 3 vol $27 History of the Wyoming Valley by Kulp, published abt 50 yrs ago in which under an article on Lamberton, it said
V14 Page 219
his grandfather, Gen. James Lamberton's mother was a Finley (was at bottom of a right hand page & turn over). I think it said that he, Gen James Lamberton, was from Londonderry, Ireland. Look up the Lamberton's History in our Penna Biography & when home see if my Noah F. Morrison genealogy catalogue has a book on the Lambertons.

At home of Mrs Margaret Finley Lenox, Masseyville, Ross Co, O (P.O. Chillicothe, O RFD 7) Sept 25, 1925 9:30 AM
I arrived here half an hour ago, the house being adjoining the Baptist Church & belongs Mrs Limle [sic] said to them. Mrs Lenox said her grandfather, Isaac Finley was born on the ocean coming over, but she does not know the names of his parents nor where they came from in Ireland nor where they settled on arriving in America nor where they died.

His wife was a Henness & she died of child bed fever when her youngest child, Isaac was but three weeks old. There was but six weeks between the deaths of Isaac & his wife (don't know which died first) & the home (they being renters)

Mulberry St & said to see Dr J.M. Hanley nearby on E 2nd ST as he had been practicing many years & knew them. I walked down there & found him at his home near his office, a fine urbane, heavy set man with gray chin whiskers. He said he had practiced medicine there for 46 out of the 48 yrs of his professional career & he walked to the corner of N. Mulberry & showed me the old Coates home, built as shown at top of spouting in 1818 & wonderfully well preserved as it does not show decay in any way. The lot is about 100 ft square & runs to what was the old Erie Canal 100 ft east of Mulberry which has been filled in & is now used as an alley. He said the property was sold about a week ago & that Dr McDougall of Athens, O had fallen heir to it. He said the office of old Doctor Coates was on Mulberry St, just south of the house & had recently been torn down. A.L. Fullerton told me Sunday evening that this office built in 1805 was the oldest building in town

& that the building on N.W. corner of South Paint & W 4th, the property of his grandfather Humphrey Fullerton, recently torn down to erect a garage & filling station was the next oldest house in town.
Dr Hanley sent me to the furniture store in one of the frame buildings on back end of Coates lot & beyond & was soon at the:
Furniture Store Cor N. Mulberry & E 3d St, owned by H.O. Ewing Sept 26, 1925
Mr Ewing is a fine handsome middle aged man with good countenance & said that Miss "Zepp" Coates was the last one to die, which was about 2 yrs ago. The other sister, Miss Louise Coates died in 1919 or 1920. Thinks Miss Zepp was the oldest & was about 90 yrs old. Mr Ewing said Ernest Moran lived with them for 30 yrs & now lives on Masonic Av a short street off E 2d right by the Majestic Theatre in the rear of Dr Iden's where he lives with his mother.

V14 Page 269
Residence of A.L. Fullerton No 68 S. Paint St Chillicothe, O Sept 27, 1925 3:54 PM
Mr F. said he was a nephew of Humphrey Fullerton who married Elizabeth T. Scott & he referred me to Alex J.A. Alexander, Spring Sta, Ky (a P.O.) for information as to death & burial of Martha Finley Scott[5] said her first child was born in less than nine months
Lexington, Ky where he died in 1843. He, A.J.A.A. is son of Lucy Fullerton, daughter of Elizabeth Scott Fullerton.
Mr F. said that Genl Joseph Scott Fullerton was on Genl Gaines staff & later on Genl Thomas's staff in the Civil War. He had a son who died & a daughter who married Paul Bakewell, a lawyer where they live at St Louis, Mo & have, I think he said, 4 children.
He, Genl Fullerton, was over at Spring Sta, Ky & when leaving, told his sister, Lucy Alexander that he feared something was going to happen to him & if it did, he wanted to be buried at Chillicothe, O. He took the train at Spring Sta, Ky & when he got to Cincinnati, O, he changed his reservations to another train. The train on which he had his first reservations went through
V14 Page 270
safely. The one he was on somewhere in WVA beyond Parkersburg, WVA came to an abrupt stop & the impact woke him & he ran to the door in his pajamas & jumped off the train which was stopped over a river & he dropped through into the river 60 ft below & was killed. No one else on the train was hurt. He seems to have had an obsession like father when he heard when last down south, the sermon on the final dissolution.
I then walked around to the:

I then walked up to the hotel & got my dinner & then went to hunt Ernest Moran & finally found he had gotten in a taxi & I got the taxi driver to take me where he left him away down Douglass St near J.B. Posey's & he was drunk, but I got him in the taxi & took him back to his:
Home of Ernest Moran 14 Masonic Av back of Majestic Th off of E. 2d ST Sept 28, 1925
He said he had the old bible & all the whole works & would give them to me. However, when he
V14 Page 278
got to his room, there was a bottle there with whisky in it & he drank it all & was becoming maudling [sic] drunk when his mother, a slender, bloodless, weazened [sic] faced cantankerous old woman came in & she said he did not have any bible, but he insisted he had & a lot of other things he had taken after Marzeppa M. Coates for whom he had looked after for 28 yrs had died. He said he burned up a lot of old letters he had found there. They said G.W. Coates, Clarksburg, was no relation & both said Mazeppa's [sic] brother, John D. Coates, Eureka, Calif had died 7 days after she did, but DR McD. said 8 days later namely June 5, 1923. Mrs Moran said Louisa died on Aug 28th. Mrs Moran said he was in no condition to do anything & told me to go so I
Left at 8:44 PM
I then went to my room & called up Dr Chas S. McDougall at Athens, O & he said several old Coates relatives were at Athens, so I told him I wd come down on the morning train & he took me to them & I was:
V14 Page 279
At residence of Miss Mary Moss Gibson & her sister, Mrs Elizabeth Stedman Athens Tp, Athens Co, O (P.O. RFD 1 Athens, O) Sept 29, 1925 12 o'clock noon.
Dr McDougall drove me out to Mrs Baugher's a few doors beyond & Miss Baugher has come here with me. Miss Gibson, whose mind is clearest on the family history insists that her grandfather was Arthur Coates, a raw Irishman, but not a Catholic & she thinks came from County Down, but is not sure. He came to Fayette Co, Pa & married Mary Moss & it is for her that my informant was named. He came out here at a very early day with a lot of children, but two of their children, Joseph & Margaret who were twins, remained in Fayette Co, Pa & Margaret married John? Moore & had several children, two of whom John & Joseph used to visit here & were big boys or men when she was a little girl & they used to chase her to try to kiss her. She says Joseph Coates, her Uncle, used to visit here & was married & had children in Fayette Co, Pa some of whom she thought taught school. Her grandfather, Arthur Coates took up
V14 Page 280
large areas of land here when this was a wilderness & the house where I am writing is on it. There were certainly 1000 acres & possibly more. When the family came out here, Joseph & Margaret stayed back there with their grandmother Moss. Her grandfather was the first man who subscribed to start the Presbyterian Church here. She does not remember having ever seen her grandfather or grandmother Coates, but has a faint idea that her grandmother died at her son, Arthur's. They both died in this house, their home being further down toward town on the hospital grounds owned by the State, which Dr McDougall says they bought about 1868 or 1869. Doctor remembers seeing Arthur Coates Jr & he thought Dr John Coates was the oldest, but Miss Gibson thinks Wm & Alex were older than him. Her grandparents were buried in the first old graveyard here which is still kept up & fenced & she says "there is a string of Coates buried there". Some went west & she thinks there was one or two of them that she can't name. She says Nancy Goodspeed, her mother's niece got the old family bible which was full
V14 Page 281
of pictures & had the family record in it & she says she tried every way to get it, but they wouldn't let her have it. Miss Baugher thinks her daughter, Mrs Bell, a widow living at Glouster, O, 14 miles from here would have gotten it & she has gone home to phone her. Miss G. thinks it is destroyed, a she believes they would not take care of it. Miss Gibson is giving me the names of her grandparents children in the order of their ages as she remembers hearing her mother tell:
1. William Coates, who she thinks was oldest & who her mother esteemed so highly, went west when a young man & was not married & was never heard of after.
2. Another son, who both she & Dr McD have a faint idea of hearing that another went with him.
3. Alexander Coates, he died here at home when a young man of "the cold plague"[6] done for a living or in what part of the country he resided. ( here. He was engaged to Maria Brown of Athens, O, but died unmarried.
4. John Coates born in Fayette Co, Pa in 1789 & died in Chillicothe, O in 1865 & is buried in Grandview Cem there. He never married. He was found dead in bed one morning, had been in habit of taking a drug & thought he took an
V14 Page 282
an overdose as he had been well the night before. He went to Chillicothe, O when he commenced practicing & practiced medicine there until he died. His sister, Nancy & his sister Elizabeth went & lived with him & Nancy learned to teach when there & Elizabeth to sew & that is they way they made their living.
5. James Coates "Uncle Jim" married a Polly Fearce in Vinton Co, O the adjoining Co west, where he owned a farm & died & thinks from his talk he had a large family. He used to come & visit & tell many funny stories & my informant never saw any of the family, but him, but her mother did. Look up the will & deed record there. She thinks his descendants are there yet probably. McArthur, O is county seat.
6. Ann Coates. She married when quite young & her husband was swept off a raft & drowned in the Hocking River. They had one little boy, but she thinks he must have died young as she never saw him. Don't think she ever married again & used to work about town & died at her brother Arthur's & was well up in years, was a fleshy woman, much older than my informant's mother & is buried in the old Cem here. She remembers her.
V14 Page 283
7. Arthur Coates married Sarah Robinette (called "Aunt Sally") from Va, daughter of Hezekiah Robinette & his wife. Hezekiah Robinette moved from Va to New Marshfield, O in this Co on a farm where he died. Arthur was a farmer & lived in the old home & run this big farm. She remembers him very well. He died of apoplexy in the old home & she died of fever about a year later. Both buried in the New Union Street Cem near the B&O Sta. They had 4 sons & 4 daughters, most of whom are buried there.
1. William called "Weed" mar Rosa Miller. No issue.

V14 Page 284
5 children all born on the farm here & after her Uncle John died, they went to Chillicothe, O as they got his property, she thinks by deed as she heard of the deed having once been lost. The children were:
1. Carthagenia Matilda
2. Mazeppa Manima

9. Nancy C. Coates. She married a Presbyterian preacher named Alexander Brown, a scotchman & went to Southern Illinois, the town she think Lacon, thinks in Henry Co as they moved from the Southern part of the state. Both died & buried there. No issue. He had a boy by a former wife. Miss G. remembers her & says she had red hair & was back two or three times on a visit.
10. Joseph &
11. Margaret, twins probably came in between Ann & Arthur. Joseph had a bit nose. Joseph married in Fayette Co & she remembers hearing him when here speaking of a daughter Lydia who was a school teacher & a son Maurice who had a fine horse
V14 Page 285
called "Secesh" which was continually jumping out of its enclosure & Maurice said if it jumped out again, he was going to shoot it, so when it did jump out again, he shot it in the side with his shot gun & it ran ten miles & then ran back to the stable & dropped dead.
Margaret married Wm Moore as I have it, she thought it was John, but was not sure & I have names of her 4 boys & 2 girls see book 9 p 520.
12. Elizabeth Coates born Oct 10, 1808 on this farm (several other of the children were born on this farm) & died in the same Tp on the Gibson farm, to which they went when she was married on Oct 19, 1898 aged 90 yrs & 9 days old.

This is three miles out from the center of Portsmouth, O & I find Mr John Peebles here at his desk who says he is 78 yrs old & comes to the office at 7 AM & at the other side of his desk is Mr Fred L. Manning, who is of the New England Mannings & lives at 2017 Waller St, Portsmouth, O & he says his wife Nuna Betts is a descendant of Rev Dr Samuel Finley, Prest of Princeton College & her 1st cousin, State Senator William Betts, Democrat, twice elected Senator in a strong Republican district, lives at Clearfield, Pa & has gotten up a lot of records, which would no doubt be available if I would go to see him. His father was a Presbyterian minister. Mr Manning & Mr Wood to whom he introduced me & all of the others have just gone out to lunch & locked me in & I am writing at Mr Peeble's desk. He went out a short time before with an elderly lady, probably his wife, who came in an auto, having however first given me a book of
V14 Page 307
family records prepared by his father, John Gettys Peebles when he was 80 yrs old & who was killed by a street car in front of his own residence when 90 or 91 yrs old. This book is a well preserved dark cloth bound ledger folio one half inch longer than this book & a full inch (or 32 lines) wider. It is marked NO 2 on back & 174_ to 189_.
Mr Peebles said he had 27 other volumes like it which his father had pasted full of clippings all of which he has given to the public library here but this is the only one that has family records in & he said he would not let it go out. These family records commence on page 1 & continue to page 57 & Mr Peebles said I could copy all I wished of them. They are closely & compactly written, very precise & in a good plain hand & give I think the very records I want. Mr Peebles said that after his father's death, he wrote to scores of them & they didn't answer & the threw up his hands & dropped it & now he hears frequently from different ones, but pays no attention & says "they can go to". Mr Manning said he would ask his wife to give her Finley line & let me know.
V14 Page 308
On page 1, he commences saying:
"A continuation of the account of marriages & deaths as taken from the records of same in various newspapers. The record of same is commenced in Volume No 1 Mch 22, 1837 on page 42 & continued to Jany 22, 1872 page 60 by the Index in Vols Nos 1 & 2 names & dates can be obtained satisfactorily".
These records continue on pages 1 & 2, but I disregard them. Mr Peebles said his father was born in 1813 at the top of page 3 he commences & I copy:
"History of the Peebles family & its Descendants A biographical History of the Peebles Family together with a History of the Geddes, Nevin, McCoy, McCracken, Rodgers, & Steele families all of which are related or connected, with the Peebles Family & has been collated through information obtained from biblical & personal information received from the various children & heirs of said families.
In getting up a complete & accurate history, the information had to be gotten from so many persons & distances so great & scattered, that a full & complete history of the early members could not be obtained, & through negligence & loss of records, it has been very difficult to obtain a full & complete history, but the following sketches
V14 Page 309
or history of the several connected families as far as obtained may be regarded as correct, from the information received and given by the compiler in such a detailed manner that those that are interested in the history of their ancestors may obtain information relative to their ancestry & the descendants of same to the present time, 1893. It will be observed in the statistical history of the several families there are numerous blanks that are not filled, caused by want & lack of information, but taken as a whole, the collateral history of each family may be regarded as near complete as could be gathered from such an ancient and scattered family connection.

In the talks today, Friday, Oct 2, 1925, with John Peebles at their office at New Boston, O, he said his father had said that he was 7th generation in descent from John Knox which I then figured if:
John Geddes Peebles was the 7th generation
John Peebles would be 6th generation
Elizabeth Finley Peebles would be 5th generation
John Finley 1713-1758 would be 4th generation
Michael Finley would be 3d generation
Robert Finley would be 2d generation
Questioning him about this, he said their Finleys descended from a sister (wasn't it of course a brother) of John Knox's mother, who he said was a Finley. He says John Knox's mother was a Finley & his name was John Finley Knox. I did not have such information. Investigate my Finley & Knox histories.
Mr Peebles said he left for Europe on June 10, 1925 & only got home Monday of this week, Sept 28, 1925, so it is well I went to Chillicothe before coming here.
Referring to page 6 of his father's record, page 315 of mine, he said that Margaret Peebles Wood married, born Oct 5, 1834, died in California during the past year.
Also that her sister, Martha Mary Wood, unmarried, born Dec 25, 1836 died about 2 or 3 yrs ago
Fred L. Manning who was not at the office today phoned me at 8:15 AM & told me to call his wife
V14 Page 327
at 1636 & she would give he her Finley line. Accordingly, I did so & she said her father, David McKinney Betts was the son of Frederick Gregory Betts whose wife was Cornelia Finley, but she did not know her father's name, but said to write Hon. William Betts, Clearfield, Pa & he can tell.
Mr Peebles said this afternoon when I asked him about the Finleys of West Union, O & the Lodwicks there & stated that Maj Joseph L. Finley's 2d dau, Mary Brown Finley, had married John Patterson, he said that Col. Benj F. Coates, very prominent in the Civil War, who was a doctor before the war & took up his practice here in 1865 on his return from the war, had married Elizabeth J. Patterson, daughter of sd John of West Union, O & that she used to visit his Uncle J. Scott Peebles. He advised me to go see their son, Joseph P. Coates, living on the N.E. Corner of 2d & Gay Sts at 903 Second ST, four blocks from this hotel & say to him that he sent me. He is near 60 yrs old. He has an unmarried sister here also who lives with him.
Mr P. produces a "History of Scioto Co, O. & Pioneer Record of Souther Ohio" by Nelson W. Evans & published by him, Portsmouth, O 1903 ctg 1322 pages. He loaned it to me to bring in with me & I believe I have one at home in the Bookcase in inside hall.

On page 802 is sketch of John Peebles 1769-1847 with his photo & on page 804, one of John Geddes Peebles 1813-1901 & a fine photo followed by sketches on page 806 of William Peebles & Joseph Scott Peebles.
There is much about Col John Lodwick who married Harriet, the oldest daughter of Maj Joseph L. Finley 1753-183- & his son James Lodwick & about the Grimes & on page 205 & 1263 S. [sic] is reference to Major Joseph L. Finley, Revolutionary soldier giving valuable records & saying he was born near Greensburg, Westd Co, Pa in 1753 & on page 195 is a sketch of Albert C. Thompson, fine face, born at Brookville, Jeff Co, Pa Jany 23, 1842, graduated Jefferson College & became a judge & M.C. This may be a brother of Col Robert M. Thompson. There is also an article on Benj F. Coates.

Page 844 on Moses Thompson with a characteristic Thompson photo facing stating that he was born in Penna Aug 18, 1784 & died Oct 7, 1864. It lists several children one of whom, Jane, married Joseph Lodwick.
They closed the office at 5 o'c & I quit bottom page 325 & came in & got my dinner & walked down to:
V14 Page 329
Residence of Joseph Pencoast Coates, No 903 Second St (N.E. Corner of Ay St) Portsmouth, O Oct 2, 1925 7:20 PM
He said that his father, when he attended Jefferson Medical College, Phila, Pa had such a high regard for old Doctor Pancoast that he named him for him. He said his grandfather was a Quaker from Chester Co, Pa & that Coatesville, Pa was named for some member of their family. He says his mother, Elizabeth Patterson, was daughter of John Patterson by his second wife who was Celia Prather hence not in the Finley line, as his grandfather, John Patterson had first married Mary Brown Finley, by whom he had six children (there were three by 2d wife) a list of whom I have. His daughter, Matilda Ann Patterson married John Smith & her daughter, Mary Smith, widow of Chandler Moulton, aged 75 born in 1850, lives not at Lucasville, O this, Scioto Co, & is well informed & can give the lines & record of her mother's brothers & sisters & of her mother's family, which was a large one. Her brother, Joseph Patterson Smith, was a most able man & was State Librarian of Ohio when Wm McKinley was Governor & when he became president, he appointed him Director of the Bureau of American
V14 Page 330
Republics. While there in Wash D.C., he published a book giving the History of the Patterson, Smith & Finley families 62 pages, I think he said, which he distributed privately with the different families, but it was never put on sale. He thinks his sister, Mrs Moulton would undoubtedly have one. If she does not come back & let him know & he had a copy, but his sister, Miss Sarah Coates who came in later, said she had taken it to their home at or near Columbus, O. He said the water got up over Second Street in 1884 & in 1913, the latter being the higher of the two at which time, it came up to the first floor of this house, which is easily six feet above the sidewalk. He says Lucasville is ten miles north of Portsmouth & is reached by the Norfolk & Western RR & the bus runs there every half hour from the Washington Hotel. Her son, Frank Moulton is a lawyer here in the 1st Natl Bank Building opposite the P.O.
He says John Patterson was a jeweler or silversmith in Pittsburgh, Pa where he met & married Mary Brown Finley. He was later appointed U.S. Marshall for Ohio by President Van Buren. Mrs Moulton lives right in the town in a frame house. Mr C. telephoned her son & he said she was at home & would be glad
V14 Page 331
to see me Sunday. He made appointment for me to call at the son's office tomorrow afternoon. He says Thomas Read Patterson, older half brother of his mother, was a favorite of his mother & had been in the iron & steel commission business in Cincinnati, O & had married a girl named Rose Olds from Circleville, O & after she died, there being no children, as both were well up in years when married, he came & lived with them in this house, which Mr C. said his father built 60 yrs ago & it has been the Coates home ever since. He is a bachelor & has a family in it & retains two rooms on second floor. He says his Uncle Thos R. Patterson went to Paris, Ill to visit his full sister Mary Dresbach, ate a hearty Christmas dinner, laid down & never woke, dying there aged 85 years & he thinks it was in 1908 or 1909. He & his wife are both buried at Circleville, O & have markers. His will at Cincinnati, O gave his estate largely to my informant & his two sisters. His sister, Mary Dresbach, survived him & Miss Sarah Coates thinks she is still living at Paris, Ills, with a married daughter in the town & is probably upwards of 90 yrs old. Ask Mrs Moulton & for name
V14 Page 332
of the daughter.
Clarence M. Smith, oldest brother of Mrs Moulton, lives in Columbus, O, they think on Dakota St, or at least did live on that street a few yrs ago. He has a large family, about all married.
Mr Coates says a Capt. Wm Jack died here about 8 mos ago, aged abt 77 & a bachelor. Says his father was a very prominent man & of good family & was a Capt for years on the steamboats. Thinks his name was William also. The William who died recently has an unmarried sister living here some place. She did live on 7th St, but sold that property & moved. Hunt her up. Says she lives in the town, A brother, Charles is married & lives on a suburban place five miles out, halfway between here & Lucasville, O & near the 5 miles church. Another brother, James Jack is a ne'er do well & works sometimes as a porter.
Miss Sarah Coates says her Aunt Mary Dresbach has a daughter Mary who married her cousin named Dresbach, a farmer & both are living at Yellowbud, Ross Co, O & have a big family of children.
Sarah Smith, sister of Mrs Moulton, the youngest of the family married
V14 Page 333
Charles Frame, a merchant & both are living in West Union, O & have 3 or 4 children.
Miss Sarah Coates says her mother's mother was Celia Prather & her mother was a Wilson from Penna, were Pennsylvania Dutch who came fr Penna to Adams Co, O.
J.P. Coates said Wm H. Peebles, son of Joseph Scott Peebles by his first wife, Nancy Finley Lodwick, see page 320, was consul to the Sandwich Islands before they were taken over & got mixed up with the "Hula-Hula" girls there & became a confirmed drunkard. His father, Joseph Scott Peebles went on a trip around the world & I think took Wm H. with him. The 2d wife, a designing woman, laid for him & got him & got much of his money, that being what she married him for. John Peebles & others had a committee appointed over Wm H. & the last 5 yrs of his life, they doled out but a small allowance to him. He died a bachelor worth about $65,000, which went to John Peebles & others as heirs at law as he don't think there was any will.

Mrs Moulton has gone to look for a copy of the Smith-Patterson-Finley pamphlet prepared by her brother, Joseph Smith, saying there were several about the house & if she found them, she wd give me one. She is a slender woman & not rugged. I left the Peebles Paving Brick office when they closed today at 11:30 AM & reaching the First Natl Bank Bldg on the street car at 12 o'c noon, went up to room 83 on the 8th floor & found Frank W. Moulton in his office. After a short talk with him, he asked me to go home with him to lunch & proffered bringing me out here as he was coming out most of the way to their 1600 acre farm owned by him & his two brothers & three brothers of another name. The farm
V14 Page 341
is a fine one, lying 600 A of fine level flat bottom mostly in corn, on the Scioto River side of the State road, which is the old Scioto trail & 1000 A on the other or hill side of the road. They have 72 cows on one farm & 20 on another, Jerseys & run a dairy. His wife was very kind & hospitable & is hard of hearing & gave us a very good lunch. She was a Van Borgen, descended from the Dutch family of that name who came to NY state about 1640 & settled in Albany Co, Coxackie district. Mrs Moulton says her Aunt Mary Dresbach aged 90 or over is living in Paris, Ills with her married daughter Olive, but she can't recall Olive's married name. She fears her Aunt has become childish & will not be able to give much information. She does not think her daughter Rose, who married a Dresbach, lives at Yellowbud, O now, but says to ask her brother Clarence M. Smith at No 120 Dakota Ave, Columbus, O who is younger than her & he can tell, as he corresponds with them.
She says her sister Virginia Thompson, widow of Luther Thompson living at NO 2357 Concord ST, Walnut Hill, Cincinnati, O (Her brother Fred L. Smith a widower lives with her)
She says she can give me the address of the widow of their Uncle John Prather

Patterson who was a newspaper man & went out to China a s a missionary Physician. He died at Chicago, Ills many years ago on his return. He, however, was John Patterson's son by his second wife.
Mrs M. thinks her brother, Clarence M. Finley at Columbus, O has the bible record of both her mother, Jno M. Smith's & her grandmother's wife of John Patterson, who after his second wife died married a McNiel for his third wife.
Matilda Ann Patterson was born Oct 4, 1823 at West Union, O, daughter of John Patterson & his wife Mary Brown Finley. She was married in Nov 30, 1842 in West Union, O by Rev Van Dyke to John Mitchell Smith, born in Columbus, O June 29, 1819 & died in West Union, O Nov 17, 1892 & is buried in the old g.y. south of the village. He was son of David Smith & his first wife Rhoda Susan Mitchell. David Smith was from Haverhill, Mass, the [son? word left out apparently] of Deacon John Smith of Francestown, N.H. a native of New Boston, N.H.
He was Probate Judge of Adams Co, O. There were eleven children born to them, all in West Union, O nine of whom they raised to grow up.
When I got to this point, they produced the memorial to Judge John M. Smith a pamphlet of 16 pages, but without date prepared
V14 Page 343
by Joseph Smith which has the record of the family in it & they loaned it to me to make up a table from in the morning & return tomorrow afternoon for further questioning.
Mrs Moulton says her grandmother's sister, Margaret Finley Chipps & her husband John Chipps died comparatively young leaving but one child, a son John Chipps who was partly raised by my informant's mother & died unmarried when a young man when she Mrs Moulton was a little girl & is buried at West Union Cem & has a marker. She thinks the family became extinct.
Speaking of the Lodwick's children of her grandmother's sister Harriet & her husband, Col John Lodwick (see Scioto Co Hist) she said:
Thought Kennedy Lodwick moved to Cincinnati, O where he & his wife both died. Thinks his daughter Jennie married F.B. Corson & while she is dead, he is living in Portsmouth, O. See him. F.B.M. Corson R.E. & Rentals is at 225 Masonic Res 621 Fourth St.
Lyle Lodwick lived in Cincinnati, O or suburbs, thinks on Prices hill, was married & had a family there.
Joseph Lodwick, she don't know about
Michael Lodwick, she don't know about
John M. Lodwick, may have been Capt John
Jane E. Lodwick, mar Jacob McCabe. Both dead. Had a son who had epilepsy & a
V14 Page 344
daughter who was married & lived in Cincinnati, O
She said there was a Sarah Lodwick who married 1st a Wood & who married 2d a Woodrow. She didn't know about the Kinneys except that Eli is dead.
She didn't know anything about James Finley or John Blair Finley brothers of her grandmother. I left at 4:25 & came in on the bus which came along about 5 & got to Portsmouth at 5:30 PM
Left at 4:25 PM
Mr F.L. Manning was back at the office this morning & said Mrs Orland Wilson, nee Helen Morton, living at Charleston, WVA is a daughter of Quin Morton & his wife was a Hurxthal & her mother was a Finley, a sister of Cornelia, the grandmother of Mrs Manning. Mrs Manning is writing to Helen & will let me know. I gave him my address. Mr Peebles said today that he put 8000 pounds of dynamite off in one blast in the hill or mountain back of their office & that it shook houses for 2 & 3 miles around, but it loosened enough of the hill to supply their works for five or six years.

After going to the meat shop of Ben Dunham, (brother of the sheriff) who bought her old home on 7th St for $7000 & having him telephone to her friend, Mrs John Dice, I found Miss Elizabeth Stattenfield Jack here where she rooms & when I told her who I was & that I was from Uniontown, Pa, she said that was where her father was born & that her grandfather Jack lived next to the Hustons. She didn't know her grandfather's name, but I think it was Henry.
She said her brother, William Lowrey Bowman Jack, born in Cincinnati, O Jany 28, 1848 died here Mch 9, 1925 aged 77 yrs & is buried in Greenlawn, Cem. He was unmarried, she saying that he & her were very fond of each other & agreed they would stay single & live together. Their father was James Piper Jack (she called it Pifer, but I told her it was Piper) born in Uniontown, Pa & his Aunt was Matilda Bowman, wife of the banker in Brownsville, Pa. He was a capt on the river. His wife was Margaret Stattenfield (French descent). He had a dry goods store on Wood St, Pgh as Shay & Jack & he met his wife
V14 Page 346
when she came in the store to buy goods. He broke up in Pgh & later got on the river & owned a lot of boats & transported the Union soldiers during the Civil War & then had a boat store in Cincinnati, O & broke up there also by trusting indiscriminately & then came here over 60 yrs ago & lived for 53 yrs in the house on 7th St. Her brother, Will L.B. Jack was given some money by his great Aunt Matilda Bowman by will, some 35 yrs or more ago & when he got it, a considerable sum, he started a store, drug store I think on Gallia St & he too broke up. They evidently went in a business they were not trained to. He clerked for 20 yrs in different offices in the court house & everyone speaks of him as a fine man. He died from blood poisoning following having his teeth taken out.
His father, James Piper Jack was born in Uniontown, Pa Mch 30, 1816 & died here Feby 11, 1900 aged 84 yrs & is buried at Greenlawn Cem opposite the chapel near the centre. His wife, Margaret died Aug 1, 1901 aged 77 yrs, but she sd 14 mos after.
Her birthday was Apr 21, probably 1824. She was married Nov 19th when she was about 18.
James Piper was an Uncle of J.P. Jack. James P. had two aunts who were
V14 Page 347
widows in Morgantown, WVA & two aunts who never married, one, Elizabeth & the other, Margaret. The two unmarried sisters, lived in Uniontown, Pa until 35 or more years ago & then moved to Dubuque, and to Waterloo, Iowa. She sd Aunt Betsy Rodgers lived in Uniontown & when Morgans Raiders went through the house of the Aunt in Morgantown, she sat quietly in her rocker & upon their questioning her, she told them she was lame & couldn't walk. She was sitting on all of her money & silverware, there being a false bottom in the chair. She said her Aunt Belle Jack was next younger than her father & married Isaac Moreland & they moved from Uniontown to Dubuque, Iowa & died there & were buried in a Jack g.y. there. They left two boys in Dubuque, Joe & Sam & two girls, Ida who mar Chesterman & lived at Waterloo, Iowa & Elizabeth Moreland, a music teacher in Dubuque, who plays the organ in the Episcopal church. Write Miss Jack about the Jack & James Piper inscriptions in the old Pres g.y. & also about Matilda Bowman's will which look up. She says her grandfather Jack was a stonecutter at Uniontown, Pa. Her father had a brother John
V14 Page 348
Jack who was an actor & who was twice married, but she didn't know to whom, but had no issue. She thought he was the youngest of the family she said there were but four children in their family as given below, but her mother was one of nine children. Her mother owned the house on 7th St & gave it to her. Said the Hustons lived next door to her grandmother Jack whose name was Elizabeth, she thought, she said her brother James was in to see her today, but his wife is impossible to live with. Her brother Charles works around at Restaurants & gets drunk. The children all four born at Cincinnati, O are:
1. William L.B. Jack born Jany 28, 1848
2. Elizabeth Jack born Mch 8, 1850 or 1851
3. Charles Lewis Jack named for his grandfather Lewis Charles Stattenfield whose wife was Elizabeth McLure of the Wheeling, WVA McLures. He is single.
4. James Piper Jack born Nov 19. He lives in Hanna addition here married Harriet Cooley, daughter of John Cooley & wife Mary Montgomery. He does not have any children. She is a Presbyterian, a slender active woman & an inveterate talker.

There was a Miss Josephine Kinney aged 66 run over by an auto yesterday. Mr Peebles said today that she is of the Henry Kinney family & not a Finley descendant, he being a bro of Eli Kinney, who married Martha Scott Lodwick, dau of Col John Lodwick & his wife Hannah Finley, dau of Maj Joseph L. Finley. They say Eli Kinney is dead, but his daughter lives somewhere in Calif. She mar Dudley Hutchens who is dead, but his brother
V14 Page 373
Wells Hutchens lives here & is Pres of the Citizens Sav & Loan Co opp. the 1st NBK can give her address. She has three children.
He says Judge Albert C. Thompson was a brother of Col Robt M. Thompson of NY who for many years was an officer in the Navy, but got some copper interests which made him wealthy. Mr Manning said the judges widow & family live just below his home.
Thomas Kipp Coles page 23, page 361 of this book was a Lieut, though only 20 & was killed in a Mosby raid in the Civil War in Nov 1864. Gen Blazier raised a Co at Gallipolis, O to go after Genl Mosby & picked Thos Kipp Coles, a daring reckless young fellow as his First Lieut. & he was killed in the raid. His body was found & buried by two young Confederate girls who dug his grave. His body was afterwards taken up by Genl B.F. Coates, embalmed, brought here & buried in the Coles lot in the cem. here.
His only brother, Frank Coles died in Ashland, Ky Feby 11, 1925. Of the other members of the family:
Eliza died unmarried at Ashland, Ky
Hannah Jane died unmarried aged abt 70 at Ashland, Ky, was idiotic
Margaret, feeble minded, single lives in Ky
Elizabeth, single, lives in Ky
Belle Weaver lives in Ky
Lucy Moore lives in Ky & her daughter, Martha Mary lives in Ky & Anna Coles died there unmarried. They have a family burying ground there.

Neither Mr Peebles nor Mr Manning know whether any of the Sturgeons are at Lancaster, O or not.
Mr P. said this forenoon, that Sayre, who married Woodrow Wilson's daughter was descended from the Finleys & Nevins & now 3:50 PM, I find on page 30 my page herein 370 where Martha Finley Nevin, dau of John Williamson Nevin on May 3, 1882 married Robert H. Sayre of Manch Chunk Pa.
I went to No 621 Fourth St when I came in this evening, a big old house & the lady said they had recently bought the house & sent me across the street to a relative of F.B.M. Corson who said he now had rooms at No 423 Waller St, Tel 2251
His wife, now dead, was a descendant, granddaughter, I think of Gen John Lodwick & Mr Peebles thought he was the only one here who could give any information about the Lodwicks.

on this page commences the History of the Rodgers family beginning with Richard Rodgers who married Rachel Denny. As these are not in the Finley line, I will not take them, but I notice some of them marry into the Quigley family, I think perhaps of the Caruthers line & also in the Kilgore, perhaps of our Jack line & perhaps I will find others. I will note the children of these marriages & note the reference, but will not take down their many descendants until I find they actually are of our lines. Margaret Rodgers was the third of the seven children of Richard & Rachel Rodgers. She married John Peebles & her descendants are already listed.
James Rodgers was the second child & as he married Jane Quigley, I am taking his immediate record:

He was a member & Elder in the Presbyterian Church & was a total abstainer from alcoholic drinks. he was an acute lawyer, but narrow-minded, firm to stubbornness, of considerable reading & much readiness in the application of learning & much influenced by his likes & dislikes. In 1812, he was impeached by the House & tried by the Senate, but was acquitted & re-elected. Henry Baldwin & Wyllis Silliman were attorneys for the State & Lewis Cass, John McLean & Samuel Herrick for the defense. In 1821 & 1823, bilious fever prevailed in Chillicothe & many cases were fatal. Judge Thompson had a large family & became quite fearful of the disease attacking them. Many thought it was yellow fever. He took up the theory that ammonia destroyed the germs of this fever & seriously proposed moving his whole family into a tavern stable, among the horses during the sickly season. Mrs T. objected so strenuously that they compromised by remaining in the mansion, but were required to spend an hour each morning on the manure pile, inhaling the fumes from it. Soon after retiring from

At residence of John Franklin Finley, No 1139 18th St, Portsmouth, O Oct 9, 1925 9:33 AM
Mr Finley says his father was Alexander Fundenberg? Finley & he was son of Thomas Finley from about Johnstown, Pa. His, Thomas's, father was very wealthy & lived near Johnstown, Pa & he thinks in Cambria Co, Pa & that his name was Samuel, but of the name he isn't sure. Has heard his father speak too of Westmoreland Co. Never heard who was his immigrant ancestor. He said the old Finleys were wealthy & owned much land, along with the Suttons to whom they were related. His grandfather, Thomas, had a brother James Finley, who lived in that neighborhood & had a family. There was also another brother. Thomas fell in love with a poor but beautiful girl named Margaret Walker, living in the neighborhood & his father said if he married her, he would disinherit him. He, however married her & his father gave him $20,000. He went bail, along with another man for a man who had killed a man, the bond being $20,000. The man skipped out & he had to pay $10,000. His wife, who was full of Irish wit has tried to keep him from going on the bond. He then sold his farm & left for Leavenworth, Ks abt 1855 as his son Alexander was then 6 yrs old. He remained in Kansas but

His widow remarried to John Ginder, who drew a big pension from a son who was killed in the Civil War. She died abt 1902 where she lived with her son, Samuel Finley near Milton, WVA (Logan Co?) 3 miles from Milton. Thinks she was 84, but don't remember his grandfather's age. His children were:
1. John Finley, was 16 when they went to Kansas
2. Lizzie Finley
3. Samuel
4. Alexander
5. Thomas

He is working night shifts now at the Whittaker Glessner or Wheeling Steel Co plant here.

The children of my hosts are:
2. James William Bannon was born here Sept 12, 1910
1. Persis Bannon, their daughter was born Aug 28, 1907
V14 Page 435
also
3. Barney Dervin Bannon born May 16, 1916
Persis is at Wellesley at school & James William Jr is at Andover, Mass.
Mr Bannon is engaged in the manufacture of boys & mens shoes, the firm being the Excelsior Shoe Co & sells to Wright Metzler & Co & Campbell Hathaway Co at Uniontown, Pa. Make high grade boys shoes & furnish shoes to B. Altman & Co, R.H. Macy Co, John Wanamaker, Strawbridge & Clothier & others.
Mr Bannon gave me his record as follows:
James William Bannon was born on this lot ("Bannon Place") on Jany 13, 1879 son of James William Bannon & his wife Mary Elizabeth Smith.
He married Sept 18, 1906 Clara Mae Pursell (see above)
When I was in to see Frank W. Moulton this afternoon, he gave me date of his wife's birth & name of her mother which I enter in table on page 356 & he very kindly offered to hunt up anything he could for me if I would write him. I read to him the names of the children of Moses Thompson, as I had gotten them yesterday from the Scioto Co Hist & who they married,
V14 Page 436
& he said to go see Earl T. Pursell at the Tracey Shoe Co on Second St, so I went there No 630 & 632 Second St at 3:33 PM
He says his name is Earl Tracy Pursell & that his father's sister, Mrs Ann Eliza Pursell (she had married & divorced Dr Ricketts & took her maiden name) lives in an apartment at Avondale a suburb of Cincinnati, O by herself & is over 70 & will be best able to give the family history of the family. She is a daughter of Amanda Purcell who was one of the daughters of Moses Thompson. He said his sister, Mae Bannon has given some attention to same & has the family bible of her grandparents & he proposed driving me to her home in his auto, which he died & a fine home it is, in a superb location, on an elevation with spacious grounds around it. She & her husband have given me the records from 429 to here & kindly asked me to stay with them for supper, which I did & a fine one it was, everything good. Their son, Barney was at table. He has gone to a near relative's for the night & they are upstairs dressing for a dance & proposed taking me to the hotel when they go at 8:30 PM, so I am through at 8:10 PM
V14 Page 437
Mr Bannon says his father bought this place 55 yrs ago 17 Acres before there was any town out this way & built the home & others of the family have built on it. They have 6 acres yet. His father was born in this country of Irish parents shortly after they came here. His grandfather was an O'Bannon of a lower social & poorer plane than his grandmother & by reason thereof, could not marry there, so came here. His father hustled for himself from 12 yrs on, dropped the O, educated himself, studied law & became a judge, After he had prospered he went over to Ireland to see his father's native place of Blessington, near Dublin. At Dublin, he met a Bishop Bannon to whom he said he was going to Blessington. The Bishop said "Judge you have prospered & are satisfied aren't you, so I wouldn't go to Blessington". The judge however went & looked the place over, but didn't divulge who he was to the poor O'Bannons there.
Both Earl T. & his sister, Mrs Bannon told me of their grandmother Amanda & said she was a very striking character in the town & intensely patriotic. When the war broke out, her husband had died & her children were small so she concluded she must
V14 Page 438
send a man to fight for her, so she had her lawyer arrange it so she wouldn't know who was sent, nor be told what happened to him & paid $800 & sent a substitute. Mr B. is a golf enthusiast, so I asked him when motoring to Mass to see there children there in school to stop over night with us & play a game of gold with Thos B. Semans & he said he wd be glad to do so. She gave me just before leaving her brother Earl's skeleton record as follows:
Earl Tracy Pursell, married Dec 9, 1902 Bertha Reed, daughter of Joseph G Reed & his wife Anne Newman who was born June 27, 1876 in Portsmouth, O & have three children born here in Portsmouth, O, viz:
1, William McClain Pursell, born Sept 11, 1903
2. Joanne Reed Pursell, born Mch 5, 1905
3. Edward Reed Pursell, born Jany 23, 1909

I came here to room 225 to see Mr F.B.M. Corson, a substantial clean shaven able man of my age whose wife deceased, was a daughter of John Kennedy Lodwick, who was a son of James Lodwick, who was a son of col John Lodwick by his first wife. Asking him about the Finley descendants, children of John Lodwick by his second wife, he told me as follows:
1. Kennedy Lodwick, don't know about him.
2. Joseph Lodwick, don't know about him.
3. Michael Lodwick, don't know about him.
4. Lyle Lodwick, died here & left, he thinks, a daughter, Kate, who never married. Don't think any of his children married & all are dead. Says he married a daughter of Moses Thompson. From preceding records, I see it was Joseph who married a Thompson & not Lyle.
5. Preston Lodwick lived in Cincinnati, O, thinks he had one child, a son.
6. John N. Lodwick left a son Blashford & a daughter Ida who married Tom Brown, who he thinks is living in California. Her daughter visited Charles Hall here recently but he is away at Pgh or Wash D.C. at the ballgame today, but he phoned
V14 Page 440
Mrs Hall to find where I could reach Mrs Brown, who lives around among her children & got report that she could be reached at No 818 South Rimpaugh St, Los Angeles, Calif, care of Mrs A.C. Jamison (who is her daughter.)
Mrs Brown is up in the '80s & can tell about all of the Lodwicks. Write her.
7. Jane Lodwick McCabe had a daughter Mrs Rogers, but don't know where she is.
8. Mrs Eli Kinney. He said that Fannie Kinney died a number of years ago, unmarried. He thinks Mrs Hutchens is in Calif with a daughter, but is now probably abroad on a trip, but would be home next month. Mrs Thomas Brown was Ida Lodwick.
Leaving 2:22 PM
I then walked up to the next block opposite the post office to citizens Sav & Loan Co & they told me their president a heavy set smooth shaven, white haired man, was over at a board meeting at the Central Natl Bank just back of the P.O., so I walked over there & found him, a substantial business man of 70 or more. he was not able to give the address of the widow
V14 Page 441
of his brother Dudley B. Hutchens but said to phone his wife at No 238 & she could give it. Mrs Hutchens was Alice Kinney, see page 417, so when I got back to the hotel from Mr & Mrs Bannons at 8:35 PM, I called Mrs Hutchens up & she said her sister-in-law, Mrs Dudley B. Hutchens (Alice) was now abroad, but wd be back about the first of next month & could be reached at West Lake Hotel, Los Angeles, Calif. She said she had three children all living in Calif & said her son was Wells A. Hutchens, whose address was Federal Building Berkeley, Calif.
After seeing Mr Wells A. Hutchens Sr, I took the street car & went out to the Peebles Paving Brick Co office & delivered to Mr John Peebles about 2:50 Am, the Hist of Scioto Co, he had loaned me & bade him goodbye. He said to write & give him my address & if he got additional data, he would send it to me. Coming back, I stopped at Tracy Shoe Co & met Earl T. Pursell who seems to be the head of the Co which he said was established 70 yrs ago by an Uncle of his mother. After returning to the hotel at 8:44 PM, I phoned Peter Kilgore 103 Harmon St, Tel 3304-X & he said
V14 Page 442
his father was Isaac Kilgore, who came from Scott Co, Va, but he did not know the name of his grandfather Kilgore, saying his father died when he was young. Said, however, that his father had a brother, David Kilgore who lived in Scott Co, Va & I think he said died there. The line was very poor, so I rang off at 8:50 PM
I noticed this morning in the City Directory the name of:
Robert Carruthers 520 Bloom Ave Sciotoville, Scioto, Co, O. The clerk said it was 6 miles out. Did not have time to go, so will write him.
At 9 PM, I took the Adams Co History Hon Joseph P. Coates had loaned me to his home 903 Second St & the house was locked up & dark. When I came back to the hotel, I spoke to the clerk about it, & he said he had just been in so I told him if he came back to send him up to me room. Accordingly, he came up a little later & was here almost an hour until 10:40 PM. He spoke of there having been in Ohio's history just three extraordinary sessions of the legislature & that in the first, which was about the dispute with Michigan on the division line, his grandfather, John Patterson was prominent & in the second, his
V14 Page 443
father, Gen Benj F? Coates was prominent & in the third, which was about the Cincinnati muddle, he was in the legislature & took a prominent part. It is now 4:20 Am 10th & as I am to be called at 5:30 to get breakfast & take 7:05 N&W train for Peebles, Adams Co, O, I will lie down for a little sleep.
Mr Coates said that Floyd E. Thoroman was in the Spanish-American War & elephantiasis [sic] development, a syphilitic resultant, causing very increased development of the arms & legs as Hunnie had & he died 7 or 8 yrs ago. Mr Coates offered to give me the Dams Co History, but I told him I thought I had one at home & he said if I didn't, to let him know & he would send it to me. Earl T. Pursell is a fine man of good countenance & heart & his sister C. Mae Bannon, is a very attractive large handsome woman & a good mother. She writes every day to her daughter & son away to Massachusetts to school.

Mrs S. says her mother, Ellen Thompson had a brother Miles Thompson. She also had twin brothers, James, a blacksmith in Adams Co & he married a sister of LeGrand Thompson & Levi, the other twin died unmarried. Another brother of Ellen was Thos W. the father of LeGrand. Another brother of Ellen was Joseph whose son Thomas, a first cousin of Mrs S. was the father of Artie Thompson of Rarden. Artie has 2 sisters & 3 brothers. Their father died abt 2 yrs ago.
Leaving 3:33 PM
Mrs Snooks has recently recovered from a severe illness & has suffered much from neuralgia impairing her memory. From the record I have, she is wrong in Thos W. being a brother of her mother, as he had but one brother, Duncan & from what Artie told me later, she is wrong about Joseph, Artie's grandfather being a brother of her mother, Ellen.

At residence of Josephus S. Thompson, Brush Creek Tp, Scioto Co, O (P.O. Otway, O Route 3 box 54) Oct 10, 1925 4:37 PM
See Book 15 p 176. Mr Thompson says he was born Apr 9, 1856 in this Tp abt 1 1/4 miles from Otway, the son of William Thompson a brother of Ellen & a son of James Thompson, a native of Penna who married there & came here & settled in this Tp about a mile south west of Otway, just a little further up the road, we turned off of at Rocky Camp, where he took up land & died in Brush Creek Tp when my informant was about 10 yrs old. It was after his son, Wm returned from the War & was probably 1866. He was about 80 yrs old Mr T. thinks when he died, but he doesn't know what part of Penna he came from, who his father was, or of any brothers & sisters, nor who his wives were, as he says he was married twice. His last wife survived him. Says he had sixteen children, but lots of them died when small. All of his children were by the first wife who died at the old home before my informant was born. He married 2d a widow named Bentley, who had a child or children before, but had none to Thompson. She died among
V14 Page 455
her children at blue Creek. His children who grew up were so far as Josephus remembers as follows in order of their ages to best of his belief:
1. Margaret Thompson who married Wesley Shopes & died at Otway. Don't know whether she has a marker. She had several children, viz: Sarah, Angeline, James, Levi.
2. Miles, thinks was next, married & kept moving back toward Pa. Had one boy, Sanford
3. Anna (or Angeline) mar a Campbell & went back toward Penna. Knows nothing about her family.
4. William Thompson born July 22, he says he was born on the farm his father settled on & has a monument 4 ft high toward the lower side of the cemetery at Otway, O giving dates. He served 3 yrs in Civil War & was wounded in right leg, from which gangrene set in & it made him crazy, but they kept him at home & one day when my informant was attending him & after he was converted, he was reading in his grandfather's bible & his father grabbed the family record, which had the births of all James Thompson's children, crumpled it up & burned it. He died after Josephus was
V14 Page 456
married in Otway. He married Elizabeth Walker, dau of Joseph Walker & wife, who died after her husband's death & is buried by him. Had but two children born in this Tp, Josephus, born Apr 9, 1856, William born Mch 1861, & lives in Peebles.
Josephus was married Jany 20, 1875 to Nancy Deems born Aug 18, 1854, dau of Patrick Deems & his wife Mary Stachwerd. Have had 8 children born on this farm but on the end that is in Union Tp. The farm contains 287 acres. The bible record is as follows:
1. Isaac Allen Thompson born Mch 18, 1876
2. Mary Elizabeth Thompson born Jany 31, 1878
3. Rachel Ellen Thompson born Oct 13, 1879
4. William Patrick Thompson born Mch 12, 1882
5. Julia Andrew Thompson born Jany 20, 1884
6. Dollie Jane Thompson born Jany 1, 1886
7. Ida Florence Thompson born Dec 13, 1887
8. Joseph Richard Thompson born Apr 9, 1890
Rachel E. Thompson died July 21, 1896. The others are all living & married & each of them have children.
[margin note reads:] Josephus said his father & bro Levi "bached" it for years at their father's & that his father didn't marry until he was 40 & was 70 when he died.
5. & 6. Levi & James were twins. Levi never married. Died below Otway & buried there. James married a daughter of Thos W.
V14 Page 457
Thompson & a sister of LeGrand. He died on Blue Creek near Moores Chapel & had several children about four, he thinks.
7. Ellen Thompson who married John Thos Thompson. Josephus does not think they were first cousins. Says they were more distantly related. Thinks 2d or 3d cousins.
8. Thomas was the oldest of the family, being older than Miles but was not Thos W. who was the father of LeGrand as Mrs Snooks thought. He heard his father talk about his dying & thinks it probable that he died unmarried on the old farm.
9. Joseph, the grandfather of Artie at Rarden was another (Oct 12/25 this is not correct) He does not recall the names of any other but does now mention:
10. Elizabeth, who married James Oppey & lived in this Tp & are buried at the Garvin Cem below & close to Otway. Don't think they have markers. Had seven children: viz: Christopher was in Civil War with his Uncle, Wm Thompson, next, William, next Levi, James, Abraham, John & Jane. All dead. Some of Abraham's children live on the Ridge. Several are buried at Garvin g.y.
His grandfather was about first settler on Brush Creek among the wolves & wild animals.

Finding the Blackburn store here closed & a warning sign on the residence that there was typhoid fever within, I came across here & Mr South says that J.E. Blackburn was killed on the RR tracks some 4 yrs ago & his son Irvin Blackburn, Admr is living at Ripley,O where he is in the auto business selling Ford Cars etc.
Daniel Thompson Blackburn was a brother of J.E. & died here 13 or 14 yrs ago & his son, Randall C. Blackburn lives here with his mother & sister.
He said Truman Evart Thompson was shot & killed in the field about six yrs ago by a tenant, Thomas Maddy who was acquitted on his own evidence there being no witnesses.
Carey Marshall Thompson, his brother, lives at Jamestown, O out Dayton & Xenia way where he has a clothing store. Their sister, Myrta, married Alton M. Liston & lives two miles this side of Young.
I went to the Blackburn home & it was locked up & going to the adjoining house, was told by the lady there who said they had been there an hour ago, but was going to Portsmouth for over Sunday

Mahlon Hooper told me this morning that J.J. Thoroman runs the bus line from Winchester to West Union & I could see him at the post office at West Union.
At Store of Artie Thompson, Rarden, O Oct 10, 1925 6:30 PM
Mr T. was very busy with his Saturday night trade, but said he was born Aug 25, 1882 & that his father, Thomas Patterson Thompson was born Nov12, 1853 & died Mch 11, 1923 & his father Joseph Thompson was born in 1833 & died in 1918. He, Joseph, had two brothers, Solomon & Jack as his father had told him & also his grandfather & no more, so that Mrs Snooks statement & Josephus confirmation of Joseph being a brother of Ellen is wrong. He says they (his father & grandfather) that the father of Joseph, Jack & Solomon was a brother of the Thompson who settled on Blue Creek.

I had breakfast at 7 AM with Samuel C. Martin, the owner of that hotel (Hotel Martin) at table with me. He said he had heard of a Thompson at Washington, Pa who had lost a log of money in coal lands & I told him I was the party. He bought the hotel real estate from William Thompson, brother of Josephus S. (who I saw yesterday evening on Fisk Ridge) & Jack (John) Weber is the chef & a good one & is running the hotel on a lease & does all the cooking. He was born in Johnstown, Pa & knew Shff Wilhelm & "Red" & once thought of locating in Uniontown. He married a sister of P.

He showed me where he lived a half square away & while I was walking up to call, Hooper called me back & said Thompson had just driven by in his auto & he tried unsuccessfully to hail him. He then started with me to Tranquillity & miles off & reaching there & passing a big g.y. at the church there, we found upon inquiry that Robt A. Glasgow lived at Seaman, O three miles beyond. We drove on through Seaman to the farm home of young Robert Anderson Glasgow on a fine flat 300 A farm on which he said his grandfather, Robert Anderson Glasgow settled & sent to work clearing it out & chopping down the trees with an axe, someone fought for him on an arrangement for him to cut some logs & split some rails for him. He is a tall capable young man & said he had married a Finney & she was dressing three young children in the only room in which there was a fire so he

drove me back in town in his auto to the home of his father, James Gilmore Glasgow, who with his wife was just dressing for S.S. & Church. Mrs Glasgow said her grandmother was Elizabeth Finley. She is a large woman & says she has blood pressure up to 300. I walked down to the U.P. Church with her & sat through S.S. & then went in church with him, he sitting in the choir. I walked back from church with him & had dinner with them a very good one prepared by her & after dinner being:

And note the following that they told me.
That Martha Ellison married a Finley and lived in Kansas & said to see Mrs Jenner down the street & she could give their address.
From the information they gave me, I thought Robt Glasgow who I had as marrying Rosanna Finley was the grandfather of Mr Glasgow as he didn't know his grandfather's name & when I men-
V14 Page 463
tioned Rosanna as his wife, Mrs G. said that after he died, Rosanna married a Campbell. She & I were both wrong in our deductions as will develop later in my interview with Mrs McIntire & had one child to him viz: Eliza Campbell who married Porter Breckenridge & their son Ed Breckenridge lives near here & their daughter Araminta McIntire who had mar 1st Will McClure & mar 2d James McIntire & lives near here, but has been paralyzed, might have the Glasgow bibles. Mr G's grandfather Glasgow died near Tranquillity rather young & had 3 sons & the following daughters:

Went from near Chillicothe, O. Mrs J. said she had a letter from her Aunt Martha four weeks ago saying that Mr Finley's last brother had died shortly before at or near Chillicothe, O. She don't know name of Moses father of brother, but says they were distantly related to the Finleys hereabouts. He was in the Civil War, was a farmer, but does not think he owned a farm. Thinks his Finleys came from Penna.
She says Robert Ellison of Manchester, O will recall her Uncle F.M. Ellison, also an old soldier, who was the favorite brother of her mother who was Adaline Ellison. Martha J. who married Moses Finley had a natural son whose wife died when her youngest child was six months old & the call came to her.

Speaking to him & his wife about the Finleys, they say that Porter Finley died at Youngsville, O, a village a mile below here about 15 yrs ago, a childless widower & willed his estate to a couple of maiden Campbell sisters who were relatives & they later moved to Wheat Ridge, where they owned some property, which is between here & West Union & the last one of the sisters died about six weeks ago & was aged away up in the 80s. They had a sale of her effects three weeks ago & they think the old bibles & books would not have been sold but would be taken by the women members of the family of their deceased brother J.P. Campbell & one of whom who they think would be most likely to get them married Harry McClung, a farmer, who lives on Wheat Ridge. This brother had 3 or 4 sons & 3 or 4 daughters.

Said also to see William Coryell at West Union, who can tell of early Manchester History & of the whole county.
At West Union, Adams Co, O North side Hotel Office table Oct 11, 1925 6:46 PM
This hotel is just across the street from the court house where we arrived 5:20 PM & I got in conversation with a heavy set smooth shaven gray haired benignant [sic] gentleman who I learned at supper at same table with him, Mr & Mrs Guy T. Behm & daughter Martha Jane of Covington, Ky was William C. Coryell & in talk with him here after supper, he said that when their court house was burned in 1910, all the wills & will books were burned up, but the deed books were in the vault & he saved the indexes so they are all intact.
He said Geo Washington Thoroman, son, he thinks of Thomas Thoroman died a few years ago away past 90 yrs old.
V14 Page 472
& he thinks it was since 1910 & his will is on record. He says he mentioned 140 kinfolks in his will & says that Mrs [11]*Geo Fristoe of Peebles, O is his daughter, although he had at first thought she was daughter of Joe Thoroman. G. Wash Thoroman had brothers James Thoroman & Smith Thoroman. He says Evans Atlas of Adams Co, O put out in 1880 might have something about him as it contains many biographies that are not in his history put out 20 yrs later in 1900.
He says John Lodwick has two wives buried in the old West Union Cem here under a flat slab which records their names & virtues.
Mrs Jenner told me when I asked if her Aunt had been married before she married Moses Finley that she had a natural son born before she was married & that Anna Mary Ellison sweet sixteen, a beautiful modest girl is his daughter & lives with Mrs Jenner.
Mr Coryell says that Hon Joseph Darlington is buried in the old cem here where he died of cholera & lots of the family are also buried there. Mr C. owns now his old home. It isn't the Darlington home he owns. Ask him about the Darlington. He can tell much both good & bad. I think his wife Sarah Wilson is probably daughter of George Wilson of Fay Co & if so in our line.
V14 Page 473
He said there was an old Lovejoy cemetery about a mile below here. He says Robert H. Ellison aged over 75 at Manchester is a son of Wm Ellison, but was not in the Civil War. Says Andrew J. McIntire at Manchester is over 70 yrs. old. We drove through rich limestone land coming here from Seaman & Mr Williams said the streams of water arising from this limestone land afforded a sure preventive vs the hogs there getting cholera.
Mr Behm & his wife say that Mr Wood Thompson, son of LeGrand Thompson is in a garage here in West Union & is intelligent & could no doubt give record of their family.
I wrote here in the office until 10 PM & then went up to my room no 3 where they had made a fire for me & wrote until 11:30 PM when I went to bed & had a fine sleep in a good clean bed until 7 AM, got up, got my breakfast, have written this up, the rain has ceased & it is now 9 AM.

West Union, O Northside Hotel, office Oct 12, 1925 11 PM
Mr Wm C. Coryell at supper here tonight where he has boarded for 4 yrs, said he thought he wrote Geo W. Thoroman will preceding & says that Mrs Fristoe at Peebles, O is a daughter of Joseph Thoroman & he was not a brother of Geo Washington Thoroman & he hence thinks he wd be a son of Samuel Thoroman. He says John K. Dunbar at Manchester, O is 75 yrs old.
He thinks George Crawford of Wrightsville, O is up in the 80s & married an Aunt of Mrs Moore, the owner of this hotel R.E. & all, might be a son of John Crawford who married Effa Grimes. He is more apt to be a grandson. He is now living in Manchester, O with his son Okey.
He also refers me to Smith Grimes aged over 90 yrs living in Portsmouth, O & says also to see Mrs C.B. Holliday, West Union, O who is mother of Nellie M. Young, she lives 3 blocks down this street from the hotel.
Mrs Moore says the brothers of Harvey J. Thompson live at Manchester, O.

I have just had a talk with Oliver Joseph Thoroman in the side front of the P.O. where he came with the mail bags which he carries & where he had just driven up. He says his father was Wm H. Harrison Thoroman, who had a brother J. Wesley Thoroman & sister Sallie who married a Sproull & her son Dr Sproull has his office just across from the P.O. He said the father of above three, his grandfather, was Oliver Thoroman. He didn't know what the name of Oliver's father was,but said to ask Dr Sproull. He said he would be glad to see me again & would help all he could.
Left at 6:25 AM
I then came in the Hotel & got my breakfast & then at 7 o'c went to the Court House & Recorder Gaskins coming a few minutes later I went in & got to work continuing until 6 PM without cessation & got the references & records from middle of page 494 to & including 506. Mr J.J. Thoroman came in the recorder's office about noon & I had him go see Dr Sproull & arrange for him to see me at his office at 7 Pm see next page.
I came back fr his office & have written Pallini to send record book 15 to me care Hotel Sinton, Cincinnati, O.

Office of Dr O.T. Sproull, West Union, O Oct 14, 1925 7:05 PM
Dr Sproull is a rather tall, virile smooth faced man & is a great find as he has a genealogical turn & was thoughtful enough to write down in 1899 what his mother, born in 1825 then told him about the family of her grandfather, Samuel Thoroman, who married Anna Crawford, & had down also that she told him that his brother Thomas Thoroman married Hester Crawford, a sister of Anna. He did not know that they were sisters of Genl Wm Crawford, but "were of that same family & near relatives". He had a record of a Hugh Crawford she told him about who was a brother of Hester & Anna & said they came from the same part of Penna. He has down as she gave him, following the Anjou formula, the names of the eleven children of Samuel & Anna commencing with the oldest & listing his descendants before taking up the other & so continuing with the entire eleven. He said that a few years ago, he had a call from, or he called on, Hiram Thoroman, a brother of G. Wash Thoroman who had his family line on the tip of his tongue & to his surprise gave the line so lucidly & with no contradictions
V14 Page 509
that he wrote it down at the time in a volume of Burns Poems he has at his home in the next square so that he has that line. He says Hiram & "G. Wash" were grandsons of Thomas & his wife Hester Crawford. I made appointment to see him at his office at same hour 7 PM tomorrow evening to copy the record Hiram gave him, which he said he would bring over & the pad record he took down of what his mother told him with further elaborations which he can give. There are many large families in the line, one I noticed having seventeen children. He said his great grandfather Samuel Thoroman & wife were buried at Trebers g.y. about five miles from here & thinks his brother Thomas Thoroman & wife were buried about a quarter to a half mile from Jacksonville, O at a g.y. near Fristoes bridge.
Left 8:30 PM

It was from this last one, his Uncle that Robert O, got these records copying them from the bible. This Uncle Edgar Black lives near the Steam Furnace in a frame house, is a farmer & is well known. It might be well to see if it sheds anything further about the Thompson or from what part of Penna Samuel came.
Dr Sproull learned when up at Peebles this evening that Thomas Washburn aged over 80 yrs back from the west now lives at Jacktown & can give the fullest information about the Thoromans as he is of an earlier generation. He said also that Dr John B. Wilson a son of Finley Wilson was practicing in Cincinnati, O.
