Adams-Pella, Iowa Henrietta (Adams) Miller-Knoxville, Iowa Peter M. Adams-Carus, Oregon Maggie Adams-Pella, Iowa James F. Adams Submitter Information: Date: Fri Nov 24, 2000 ___________________________________________________________ From a posting on Ancestry.com: Josiah Adams Died,at his home in Pella, Sunday evening,March 27,1898, Josiah Adams. He was born in the state of Delaware on June 5,1807, and was there-fore 90 years, 9 months, and 23 days old at the time of his death. When 8 years of age he with is parents moved to Ross county, Ohio, near Chillicothe. Here he grew to manhood, and at the age of twenty-six married Miss Celia Graham, March 7, 1833. About 1848 they moved to New London,Henry County, Iowa and in 1852 moved to Marion county, Iowa, In 1835 he became identified with the Methodist Episcopal church and was one of the pioneer workers of the Salem class near Durham. He was a great advocate for the Sunday school. His wife was converted and united with the M.E. church in early woman-hood, and in about one year after marriage Bro. Adams was converted and very soon afterward became a member of the same church. We can for a moment allow our minds to follow Bro. Adams from early Manhood down along the years to the time he was called away. We can say in all confidence that no more striking instance of sterling charactor, strong mindeness, strict integrity and honesty of purpose has been presented to our notice. These characteristics presented themselves in all his dealings with his neighbors and all others with whom he came in contact, and as steadfastness of purpose and determined conscientious uprightness stood out prominently in all pertaining to worldly pursuits, so the same traits manifested themselves in relation to his religious sentiments; and for all the years from the date of his conversion down to the time that afflictions came upon him, the church never found a more constant attendant, a truer friend or a more cheerful supporter. For many long years, not-withstanding the perplexities, responsibilities and discouragements of a pioneer life, he never lost sight of the church work that fell to his share, but on the other hand with a persistence that called forth the respect and admiration of both church member and non-professor alike, he steadily and without shrinking discharged those duties, and with a trusting heart was even ready to exclaim, "I know in whom I have believed!" His long life reaches back through some of the most stirring times of our republic, having had a father in the war of 1812, father and brother in the war with Mexico, and three sons in the union ranks during the late rebellion. Eleven children, four daughters and seven sons, were born to this worthy couple, of whom two sons and one daughter have preceded him to the other shore. His aged and loving companion survives him, being now eighty-four. Their married life has been a little more than sixty-five years. The children who survive him are as follows; Wm. Adams, Garden Grove,Iowa; Joseph C. Adams, Oregon; John W. Adams, Monroe,Iowa; Hattie C.Adams,of Pella,Iowa; Mrs. Henrietta Miller, Knoxville,Iowa; Peter McVay Adams, Carus Oregon; and Maggie Adams, Pella,Iowa. For sometime past he had requested that the text used should be taken from Job 14-14; "All the days of my appointed time I wait till my changes comes," and the hymns shold be "Nearer my god to thee," "Jesus Lover of my soul," and "Rock of ages." The funeral was conducted at the residence March 29, by his pastor, Rev. C.H. Westfalt, assisted by Dr. A.B. Chaffee, Dr. Stoddard, and Rev. C.L. Coster. The interment took place in the family lot in Eureka Cemetery. | Josiah Adams

| 4 | The Amsberrys lived in Mason County, W. Va, many years after they were married. An interesting story told about his life during the Civil War Days is as follows: He hid in the woods with two horses to keep them from being stolen by Rebel soldiers of General Jenkin's army as they marched down Shady Fork Creek Road. His nephew, Darius Beard, was with him. The soldiers took all the livestock they could find and these horses were the only ones left in the community that summer. He very willingly shared them with his neighbors and they had to do all the work on the farms that season. On March 4, 1885, Francis E. Amsberry and his family left West Virginia for Nebraska. he rented a freight car (60 X 10') and the stored all their furniture, and other baggage in it and also used this car for living quarters on their way out. The left from Gallipolis, Ohio, on the above mentioned date. The write is not sure just how many of his children left with him. However, she is sure that the two oldest children, Sarah and Martha, went with him at this time. Others followed later. Both Francis and Lucy Beard Amsberry died and were buried in the state of Nebraska. Lucy Beard Amsberry died at mason City, Nebraska, October 15, 1915. (Source: "The History of Adam Beard and His Descendants" by Irene Beard, 1952) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On March 4, 1885 the Francis E. Amsberry family left West Virginia for Nebraska. His son, John Allen Amsberry and his nephew, Darius Amsberry, had found valuable government land in Custer County and had notified relations about the opening for settlement. Francis rented a freight or immigrant railroad car, 60' X 10'. On this they stored their furniture and belongings and used it for quarters to get to Nebraska. They departed from Gallipolis, Ohio. Most of the 12 children wither went with them or followed later. Francis homesteaded Section 35, Township 15, Range 18 and farmed 160 acres until his death. Francis died in Mason City, Nebraska and is buried in the Enon Cemetary, which is located on the north line of Section 35, Township 15, Range 18 on the old Amsberry homestead, about three miles west and a little north of the present Mason City. The old former town of Algernon was located northeast from this small cemetary. Lucy Beard Amsberry died at Mason City and is also burried in the Enon Cemetary. (Source: The William A. Amsberry and Related Families) _______________________________________ ENON CEMETERY This cemetery is located just south of Ansley, Custer County, Nebraska and is also know as the Amsberry or Algernon Cemetery.

| 5 | Some accounts state that William A. Amsberry served in the Mexican War and for his service received pay in government land warrants which he subsequently laid on land in Iowa. The author has no proof of this, as the National Archives have no pension or military records for him. The book Down on the Ridge, Reminiscences of the Old Days in Coalport and Down on the Ridge, Marion County, Iowa by Alfred B. McCown carries the following account of William Amsberry when we resided in West Virginia: Besides tilling the soil down there on the hillsides and narrow little valley, Uncle Billy worked at his trade as a shoemaker while the boys hustled among the clods and stones and briars and sassafras. Uncle Billy was very popular, and new everybody for miles around. A public road wound its way from over on the "Big Sixteen" and other places as well, down the little creek, passing alongside of the old woodyard in front of Uncle Billy's House. ... one after another riding by on the road described would rein up his fiery steed and hail Uncle Billy with "Hello!" while he pounded and pegged away on an old cow-hide boot. This hailing him so often while at work got to be a sign of distress, so he gathered up his bench and tools and went out and sat down by the roadside where he stitched and pegged and pegged and stitched, ready for the next "Hello!" man that came that way. William Amsberry continued to work as a shoemaker when he moved to Iowa and about this McCown relates: "(His) bench, in the winter season at least, was situated in the southeast corner of the living room near the old fireplace. Aunt Polly, with snow-white frilled cap, sits knitting by the light of the fire in the fireplace. Uncle Billy is pegging away on the sole of a shoe, working by the light of a tallow candle. Not only was William a tanner and shoemaker, but he was a musician and composed some music. His music was clever and gained him notoriety. This music he would sing and play on the violin. (Source: The William A. Amsberry and Related Families by Ruby Coleman) ________________________________________________ He was living in Mason Co., VA (now WV) in 1820 on page 119 of the census; shown as being engaged in manufacturing which may have been his shoemaking business. He is shown with 1 male under 10; 1 male 26-45 (himself); 3 females under 10 and 1 female 26-45 (wife?). He did not legally marry Mary "Polly" Everett until 15 May 1823. Therefore, it seems logical that the female shown on the 1820 Federal Census was his first wife, thus making her death in Mason County, VA. The three girls would have been Marietta, age 9, Ruth age 3 and Rosetta, possibly age 7. Who is the male child? He has never been noted, so perhaps he also died. The Western Christian Advocate shows an obituary dated 14 June 1848 for Mrs. Mary Ann Amsbary, 21, married to M.P. Amsbary (Amsbury) who survives; issue infant daughter; reported by J.F. Alkeson (Atkeson). No place is listed. Is it possible that M.P. Amsbary is the male child under 10 on 1820 census? The J.F. Atkeson could be John Atkeson (Atkinson) husband of Rosetta. His last will and testament was brought before the Marion Co., Iowa court 2 July 1861 and made provision for the sale of land and proceeds to be given to some of his children. Listed were Rosetta Atkeson's heirs. Nothing is shown for an earlier son and nothing is shown for heirs of daughter Marietta. (Source: Ruby Coleman} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMONG THE EARLY SETTLERS OF CUSTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA, WERE THE AMSBERRYS. The Amsberrys of Custer county are the descendants of William A. Amsberry and Polly Everett, who entered into marriage relations in the state of New York, in 1821. William A. Amsberry's parents were of English descent, having emigrated to the United States in the early settlement of New England. William A. was a soldier in the war with Mexico, for which service he received his pay in government land warrants, which he subsequently laid on land in the state of Iowa, where he made his home in his old age. Soon after their marriage they left the stone and wood topped hills of New York and located in Mason county, Virginia, between two hills on a branch of the Little Sixteen, which meant a little stream of water coursing its way down the valley, over the pebbles and rocks, sixteen miles from the mouth of the Kanawah river. Polly Everett Amsberry was the daughter of Francis and Sally Franklin Everett, the latter a cousin of Benjamin Franklin, the noted statesman and philosopher. It was here in this humble home on the Little Sixteen that these people gave to the world William Franklin, Francis Everett, Lewis Norton, Almira, Horace Allen, and Matthew James Amsberry. William A. Amsberry was a tanner and shoemaker by trade. He prepared his own tan-bark and tanned the raw material from which he manufactured the boots, shoes and leggins for the rugged woodmen, their wives and children of that day. Here he built a home and cleared out a small farm, on which employment for the children was furnished as they grow up. He was a musician and composer and gained wide popularity, as well as notoriety by his clever compositions of music, which he sang and played on the violin. William F. Amsberry, the oldest of the children was the first to drift from the old plantation of the Virginia home. He with his young bride, Harriett A. Brown, moved to Marion county, Iowa, and located near the Des Moines river, near Knoxville, on government land for which they paid $1.25 per acre. They gave to the world Mary Jane Beatrice, Darius Mathew, Medora H., Boyd F., Marsena L., Kittie B., and twin boys who died in infancy. Lewis Norton and his bride, Jane Coffman, in a few months followed and located on land adjoining his brother William F. They gave to the world Florentine, Lewis Allen, Mary, William Zachariah, James Green, Nola, Norton, Charley, Adaline and Lyman B. Almira Amsberry, with her husband, William Beard, came soon after and located six miles down the river from her brothers, William and Norton. Their children were Albert, David D., Mary E., Ellen J., and Jabus Everett. William Beard, the husband and father, lost his life as a soldier in the Civil war. Some years after, the wife and mother married Pearly Troby. The second family of children were Ruth, Sophie, Allen and Pass. These children are married and have families. Ruth married James Runyan, Jr.; Ellen married Perry Dady; Sophie married Leonard Dady; Pass married Will Sharper. Francis Everett Amsberry and his wife, Lucy Beard, remained on the old Virginia plantation until after the Amsberry settlement was made in Custer county, Nebraska. Their children are Margaret, Sally, John A., Martha, James M., Laura, Frank E., Myra, William, Ella and Floyd. All are married but Martha, and have families, and all live in Custer county except Floyd and family. The two older children of William and Harriet Amsberry, Beatrice, now Mrs. H. T. Coffman, and Darius M. Amsberry, were the first to move to Nebraska to seek homes on the wild domain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1000 COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY, REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRAPHY. Darius and H. T. Coffman went to Nebraska in the fall of 1873 and located near Grand Island, in Hall county. Both Beatrice and Darius, before emigrating to the west spent a series of terms in Central University, a Baptist school at Pella, Iowa. In the spring of 1874, John A. Amsberry came to the state and first located in Valley county, near Ord. Beatrice Amsberry, with her husband located on a homestead near Grand Island. Darius resumed his occupation as teacher in district number one, in Grand Island, where he taught five years in succession. On learning of the organization of the new county of Custer, John and Darius located homesteads in sections thirty and thirty-one, township fifteen, range seventeen, near where Mason City now stands. This was the nucleus of the Amsberry settlement in Custer county. Prior to this settlement Darius M. had gone back to Iowa, in the spring of 1875, where he married Miss Evaline Greenlee, of Corydon, Iowa, on April eighth, the daughter of Sylvester and Esther Barnett Greenlee, pioneers of Wayne county, who had emigrated from Mason county, West Virginia. The children of this family are Minnie May, William S., Ama R., Lorin W., Jessie, who died in infancy; Lillie H. Minnie May married W. J. Clay, and they are living on a farm of their own near Broken Bow; William S. is married, and is express agent at Deadwood, South Dakota; Ama R. married Carl Foote, and is living on a, ranch of their own of several hundred acres, near Dunning, in Blaine county; Lorin W. is married living in Broken Bow and is a printer by trade; Lillie H. is living with her parents in Broken Bow. After a year or more John A. Amsberry, growing tired of a bachelor life, returned to Iowa and married Miss Mary Buckley, daughter of Frank and Martha Buckley, who were former residents of West Virginia. Their children are Zadee, Frank, and Nellie. Zadee married Ray Duke, a druggist in Mason City, Nebraska. Frank is engaged with his father on the original homestead, with several hundred acres added, in farming and raising thoroughbred Poll Angus cattle, both farming and cattle raising are carried on extensively. Nellie is living with her parents. When John and Darius located in Custer County there was but one neighbor in five miles, and not more than a half dozen settlers within a radius of fifteen miles, and less than two hundred in the county, which embraced a territory of forty-eight by fifty-four miles. Their buildings were constructed of sod, but little lumber being used, as their nearest railroad point where lumber could he bought was at Kearney or Grand Island, sixty miles distant. On account of the great distance from a railroad, groceries ceased to be a necessity in large assortment and quantity, but they were not without provisions as the canyons abounded in wild plums, grapes, currants and gooseberries in their season this wild fruit was gathered in large quantities in the fall, which provided sauce the year round. This with the sorghum made from home grown cane met all the needs in the line of food. Elk, deer, antelope, prairie chickens and jack-rabbits were plenty at first and from this source a supply of fresh meat could be obtained without much loss of time as they were at hand and were not very wild. The only time the colony was hard pressed for provisions was the winter of 1880 and 1881, when the snow was so deep from November, 1880, to April, 1881, that it was impossible to go to market or the grist mill, thirty miles distant, to secure bread stuff. Those who had not laid in a large supply of flour in the fall for weeks had to parch corn and grind it on their coffee mills for all the bread they ate. After Darius M. Amsberry had proved up on his homestead, in 1884, he moved to Broken Bow, having been elected county superintendent of schools in the fall of 1882. He was elected for three consecutive terms, from 1882 to 1888. During this period the country had its greatest growth in population, and he organized in that time one hundred sixty-five school districts. In 1887 he purchased the Custer County Republican, the pioneer paper of the town of Broken Bow. The Republican was started with the platting of the town, June, 1882, by R.. H. Miller. At the close of his third term as county superintendent, January, 1888, he assumed personal busness [sic] and editorial management of the paper and continued active in it its management until August, 1906, when, having been appointed Receiver of the United States land office at Broken Bow, by President Theodore Roosevelt, in July of that year for a term of four years. He turned the active management of the paper over to his foreman, Charles K. Bassett, as practically all of his time was required in the government office, in disposing of the government land in his district under the Kinkaid law of six hundred and forty acre homesteads. At the expiration of this term he was re-appointed to the same office by President William Howard Taft. He continued the supervision of the publication of the Republican, however, until July 1, 1911, when he sold the plant to Norman Parks. He still resides in Broken Bow, where he has one of the best homes of the city, besides business; property, as well as valuable property joining the city. Soon after finding valuable government land in Custer county these two pioneers, John and Darius Amsberry proceeded to notify their relations and friends of the splendid opening for free homes. It was not long until the valleys and hills around about were settled with Amsberrys and relatives. Among the first were Darius' father, mother and family; Zach Ambserry [sic] and bride. His mother, "Aunt Jane," widow of Norton Amsberry, and her family, Almira Amsberry, Trolly and her family, Francis E. Amsberry and family, Beatrice Amsberry Coffman, husband and family, Florintine Amsberry Mossman, husband and family, Rose Amsberry Greenlee, husband and family, Laura Ambserry [sic] Fisher, husband and family. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY, REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRAPHY. 1001 Medora H.

| 8 | The following story mentions Alvin. It was exerpted from from http://www.bigpiney.com/bigpiney/sommers2.htm Biography of Albert P. "Prof" and May McAlister Sommers Compiled by Jonita Sommers Prof Sommers taught school in Doniphan County, Kansas, in 1896 and 1897. A.P. Sommers was mustered into the 22nd Regiment Kansas Volunteer Infantry for the Spanish American War on May 16, 1898. Prof Sommers died July 9, 1928, from a severe case of high blood pressure which formed a blood clot on the brain causing his death. Prof was in the Cabin Field irrigating with his hired man, Alvin Baldwin, when he began having a stroke. He called to Alvin to help him get on his horse and take him to the house, which was about 1 1/2 miles away. Alvin put Prof on the horse, but he was so weak he fell off before reaching the house. He was put back on the horse, but could not stay there. Baldwin saw Jules J. Giroud fishing and noticed he had a car. They put Prof in the car and took him to the ranch house. Prof walked into the house, but soon had another seizure. Martha gave him artificial respiration until the doctors arrived, but to no avail. Prof passed away with his wife and children by his side. Dr. Jay Wanner from Pinedale and Dr. Vernon L. Looney from Big Piney were called on the telephone to come to the ranch, but nothing could be done. | Alvin William Baldwin

| 9 | Baldwin, Caleb, one of the early Elders of the Church, was born Sept. 2, 1791, at Nobletown, Orange co., New York. He served as an ensign under Captain Chas. Parker in the war of 1812. Becoming a convert to "Mormonism" he was baptized Nov. 14, 1830, by Parley P. Pratt. Soon afterwards he gathered with the early saint to Jackson county, Mo., and took part in the so-called battle on the Big Blue. In 1833 he was driven out of Jackson county with the rest of the saints, and subsequently settled in Caldwell county, Mo. In the fall of 1838 he was arrested on a trumped up charge and shared a prison cell with the Prophet Joseph Smith and others at Liberty, Clay co., Mo., during the winter of 1838–39. When the prisoners were detected in trying to make their escape by cutting a hole through the wall of the goal, and Judge Tillery was about to have them ironed and chained to the floor of their cells, Bro. Baldwin said to the judge: "Judge Tillery! If you put these chains on me, I will kill you, so help me God." The judge left without putting on the chains. Bro. Baldwin emigrated to Great Salt Lake Valley in the year 1848 and died in Salt Lake City June 11, 1849. (from: LDS Biographical Encyclopedia: A Compilation of Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Salt Lake City, UT: Andrew Jenson History Co., 1901.) _______________________________________________________________________ Another version of how they got out of jail: There is even good reason to believe that Governor Boggs himself was privy to their escape, and doubtless had a hand in the planning for it. At any rate such in effect was the statement of Samuel Tillery, the jailor at Liberty, to the prisoners about the time Sidney Rigdon was admitted to bail. He told the prisoners that Governor Boggs was heartily ashamed of the whole transaction against the "Mormons," and would be glad to set the prisoners free if only "he dared to do it." "But," said Tillery to the prisoners, "you need not be concerned, for the governor has laid a plan for your release." Tillery also said that Judge Burch had been instructed to so fix the papers that the prisoners would be clear from any incumbrances in a very short time. All which is so very like what took place with respect to the escape of the prisoners; as also with what would most likely be the views of Governor Boggs when he found that the treatment of the "Mormons" in Missouri was bringing so much reproach upon his administration, that his connivance at the escape of Joseph Smith and his associates was very likely. (from: Roberts, Brigham H. Comprehensive History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1830 - 1930,, - Vol. I-VII (7). ) _______________________________________________________________________ A third version: They were chained together and fed on human flesh in prison by their Christian guards, and he continued to suffer with his brethren until April 15, 1839, when he started with Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Alex. McRae and Caleb Baldwin and guard, to go to jail in Columbia, Boone county, but on the night of the 16th, the sheriff fell asleep, the guard got drunk, and the prisoners left them, and went to their families and friends in Illinois.

Salt Lake City, UT: Andrew Jenson History Co., 1901.) _______________________________________________________________________ More: ...After the saints had left Clay County, Joseph Smith the Prophet, his brother Hyrum, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wright, Alexander McRae, and Caleb Baldwin were incarcerated on trumped-up charges in the Liberty Jail during the winter of 1838-39, awaiting trial, which never took place. (from: Clay County in Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, UT: Deseret News Publishing Co., 1941. ) _______________________________________________________________________ The case of Samuel Brown In 1834 Samuel Brown chastens the Mormon church leadership for speaking against the Methodists. In a church trial to determine the status of Samuel Brown, "Caleb Baldwin testifies that Brother Brown said missionaries should not preach that the world in darkness, for they were not. He said he could not preach against the Methodists." His wife Nancy Baldwin and his son Caleb Clark Baldwin also testify, supporting Caleb's statements. Samuel Brown is forced to surrender his licenses of eldership and high priest. Brown is told to repent or be kicked out of the church altogether.

| 10 | Caleb Clark Baldwin and Eliza Robinson Baldwin by Wallace R. Baldwin from http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/torikline/baldgen/calebc.htm Caleb Clark Baldwin, was born 03 Jun 1817 at Warrensville Cuyahoga,Ohio. He was the 2nd child and first son born to Caleb Baldwin and Nancy Kingsbury. He was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 01 Jan 1831. On 29 Oct 1837 he married Ann Eliza ROBINSON daughter of George ROBINSON and Mary LOCH at Far West, Missouri. Ann Eliza was born 15 Aug 1819 in Monroe, Ouchita, Louisiana. At the time his father immigrated to Utah in 1848, Caleb Clark was in government service in Missouri. He immigrated to Utah with his family in 1852. At that time his family consisted of four sons and two daughters. In the fall of 1852 the family settled in Provo, Utah. They had only been there a short time when the youngest boy named George Henry Baldwin died. Three children were born while they lived in Provo. One daughter and two sons. The family endured many trying experiences with the Indians. One story is told of a time they were hunting for roots, when they caught sight of an Indian skulking through the trees. They hid themselves in the underbrush and waited. All night they remained in their hiding place. At dawn the Indians finally left and the family was able to return to their home. During the year of 1865, Caleb Clark BALDWIN was called by Brigham Young to help settle an area called the Muddy, which later became the town of St. Thomas. By this time the sons had grown enough to be a big help to their parents. The family sold everything they owned in preparation for leaving. The "Muddy Valley" located in the southern part of Clark County, Nevada was in the very southeastern tip of Nevada. In December 1870 the people voted to abandon the settlements because of the taxes levied against them by the State of Nevada. After some time Caleb Clark was released from his mission, so that he might bring his wife back to receive medical attention. She was very ill so she stayed with here daughters in Mona, Juab, Utah. She died in Mona 11 Feb 1873 at the age of 64. She was buried in Provo, Utah, Utah. Caleb Clark Baldwin died in Beaver, Beaver, Utah at the age of 88 on 02 Jan 1905. He and his sons helped settle Beaver, Utah after they left the "Muddy". | Caleb Clark Baldwin

| 14 | Adam Beard was born November 11, 1787 in Bedford County, Virginia. (Some think the location was Pilot Knob, Virginia.) Not too much is known of his earl life. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. He enlisted in Bedford County, Virginia and served as a private in Captain John Hewitt's company, Second Regiment of Virginia Militia, from September 1, 1814 to November 26, 1814. He married Margaret Ennis, March 8, 1814. All their children were born in Virginia. In 1833, he left Bedford county and emigrated with his family to Coal's Mouth, Virginia, on coal River, where the town of St. Albans, W. Va., is situated today. In 1845 he left Coals Mouth and moved to what is now Mason County, W. Va. To of his sons stayed at Coal's Mouth and reared their families in the vicinity. Adam beard established a home and spent the rest of his life in Mason County. He first lived on a plot of ground on the Pond Branch Road, Southside, W. Va., on the land where Mason County 4-H camp is situated today. After living there several years, he bought a tract of land on Shady Fork Branch of Little Sixteen Creek. He built a log home on this land and lived there the remainder of his days. The farm was bought from his heirs by the Viers family and Susan Viers Fisher lives today in the house that he built. His wife preceded him in death August 29, 1870, and he died March 30, 1872. both he and his wife were laid to rest in the Viers Chapel Cemetery that was located on their farm. Adam Beard was industrious and worked hard to make a living for his family. He was respected highly by all his family and neighbors. These sterling qualities of manhood were handed down to his children and their descendants. Some of his children stayed and reared their families in a radius of 50 miles from Southside, W. Va, but others moved away and the family has been scattered all over these United States. (Source: "The History of Adam Beard and His Descendants" by Irene Beard, 1952) | Adam Beard

| 15 | The earliest record of the Beard family that can be traced here in the United States is of David Beard, the first one of our family to settle here. Legend tells us that his family were natives of Ayrshire, Scotland, but left there because of religious persecution and went to North Ireland. David Beard apparently came from there to America. No actual facts are known by the write about his early life here, except that he lived in Virginia and was a soldier in the American Revolution. He was in the army of General Greene, serving with him through the Southern Campaign, rising to the rank of captain. He was badly wounded at the battle of Cowpens, January 17, 1781, having been shot through the abdomen while leading a charge near the close of the conflict. After his recovery, he again entered the service and was at the surrender of Yorktown. After the war was over, he returned to Virginia and settled in Bedford County.

| 19 | From "A Family History: Thompson and Berrington" by Connie Thompson, 1972. Also from U.S. Census records, and Cuyahoga County Court records: Joseph came to the states in November of 1851 with his sister Mary and Mary's two children. They joined Mary's husband, John Thompson. Joseph married John's sister Mary Thompson on March 10, 1858. They had one child: Charles. Mary died in 1862. On March 02, 1864 Joseph married Margaret Dalzell, who was a widow with one child name William. The 1880 census shows them living at 111 Birch St. (now West 50th St., between Franklin and Bridge) with Margaret and 5 more children: Hattie, Samuel, John, Jessie, and Ella. Joseph remained close to John and Mary Thompson and in 1880 helped them build a log home in Middelburg Heights, Ohio. The 1910 census shows him living with his daughter Ella and her husband George Austin. He died in 1916 in Middleburg. Note: Below is date of birth shows as May 11, 1828, but his death certificate says May 11, 1827. _____________________________________________________________________________ I found the following in Luceal McGregor Lewis' files: Luceal's notes: I do not know who G.H. is. This paper was with the ones that Frank Berrington had written. Sounds as though there were two children in Joseph Parrish Berrington’s marriage to Mary Thompson. I wonder if she died of childbirth. They were married 4 years according to the paper written by Frank and he married again very shortly. The paper: "Joseph P. Berrington" was born May 11, 1828 at Bedfordshire, England - and passed away January 12, 1916 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ella Austin. Mr. Berrington came to this country while a very young man and made his home with a sister who resided at Middleburg, Ohio, and while there he assisted them in the clearing of their land. In the year 1858, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Thompson, who died four years later. Two children were born to them, one of whom survives, Charles Berrington, of Cleveland, Ohio. After four years, Mr. Berrington again married to Miss Margaret Dozell of Cleveland, and resided for twenty some years at West 50th Street, Cleveland. Five children were born of this marriage, all of whom are living. Mrs. Hattie McGregor of Fillmore, California. Mr. Samuel Berrington of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. John Berrington of Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Jessie Kinghorn of Cleveland Ohio, and Mrs. Ella Austin at whose home the father resided for the last fifteen years, and it was from there he passed into the "Great Beyond." Sixteen grand-children and four great grand children survive this much beloved grand-father. He was an example of patience to all those who watched him in his last days - when he sat in the open, watching the birds, and gathering all the happiness he could from nature and his surroundings. His appreciation of little courtesies were very great, and although he did not hear all that was spoken to him, his face beamed with joy when there was an expression he could catch and respond to. He was to be about with activity until four days before he peacefully slept away. At all times since he has made his home with this daughter was he given most tender love and watchful care by her and the kind husband and daughter, who spared nothing to give him all the comforts they were able to bestow upon him, sharing all that they possessed with him; and with all this, there was that kind of affection that helps lighten the load when the years grew large in number. While these changes seem hard to meet, may we be able to see beyond it that God's Love still protects and cares for those passed from us, - "as he did before," and will guide us into paths of peace that passeth all understanding.

| 35 | The following is from Steve Coulter: PETER GANDER, father of our grandmother Mary Gander Muck, was born about 1740 (or earlier), either in Lancaster Co., PA, or in the Germanic alpine slopes of northern Switzerland. The Germanic pronounciation of Gander resulted in it often being spelled Gaunder by English county clerks in Shenandoah County, Virginia, where Peter died in Jan 1808. His estate details cattle, sheep, hogs, farming tools, spinning wheels (both wool & flax), a churn, a blue cupboard, a walnut table, bedsteads, & "some old pewter." On 9 June 178 Peter purchased 200 acres in southern Shenandoah Co., VA, for one pound sterling. This hilly land lies seven to ten miles west of the town of Edinburg on the present Valley Pike (U.S. route 11). On 29 June 1789, Peter moved down the Shenandoah Valley to southern Frederick Co., VA, where f "five shillings sterling", he purchased 33 acres near Strasburg and alo Cedar Creek---which marks the boundary between Shenandoah & Frederick counties. Much later, this land was the site of the bloody battle of Cedar Creek during the Civil War. Peter Gander married, probably about 17 Lancaster Co., PA, to Barbara Weber/Weaver, dau of Jacob Weber/Weaver & Anna Bauman (below). Peter Gander & Barbara Weber had at least 6 children: Samuel Gander, b. 1761; Jacob; Nancy; John; Magdalena; & MARY (see above for Mary Gander Muck's family) | Peter Gander

| 37 | Found the following obituary on Ancestry.com. It's from the Pella Chronicle, Marion Co., Iowa. Mrs. Josiah Adams Pella, April 11.- Mrs. Celia Graham was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, Oct. 17, 1813, and died in Pella, Iowa, Marion County, April 9, 1900, aged 86 years, 5 months, and 22 days. Early in life she experienced religion and United with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which communion she remained a faithful member through all the years of pilgrimage. For more than three score and 10 years she walked in the faith and comfort of the gospel, having respect unto the recompense of the reward. March 7, 1833, she was united in marriage with Josiah Adams. For 65 years they journeyed together, sharing each others joys and sorrows. Mr. Adams died two years ago. They were among the pioneers of Marion county, having settled at Knoxville in 1852. At that time there was no railroad west of the Mississippi river, and only a small part of the young state was occupied by settlers. The last few years of her life were years of deep affliction. Intellectual clouds and darkness were about her, but to her doubtless was verified the promise; "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers,they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle up to thee. Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by name; thou art mine," Her funeral services were conducted at the family home by Rev. J.C. Kendrick, of the M.E. church, assisted by Rev. Peck, of the Baptist church. Her remains were conveyed to the family burying ground near Durham. Hattie and Maggie Adams desire to express their gratitude to the kind friends who so nobly assisted them during the recent affliction and death of their mother. Words seem formal but bereaved hearts appreciate and extend to all grateful remembrance. | Celia Graham

| 38 | Notes about Isabella and her husband Thomas Pattison, written by Marie Pattison (Mouchet Randall), their grandaugter. (The notes were addressed to her son, F. Paul Mouchet.) My grandmother Isabelle Greene was an American born Quaker. Her parents lived in Philadelphia and I am very sorry I never inquired about the dates of their birth. (inserted text: Grandfather Thomas Pattison born in 1802, Grandmother Isabella Green born in 1821-your great great grandparents.) My great grandfather was a wealthy cloth merchant. He and his wife lived in a large house there and were sincere Quakers. I think my grandmother told me that her mother died when she was fourteen and she kept house for her father until she was about 24 or more when he died. Every year he went to England and Ireland to buy cloth, the very best, and when his daughter was old enough she shared those trips by sailboats. Great grandpa Greene relaxed en route and Grandma packed trunks with worldly clothes, even ball dresses. She told me that one trip was especially rough and tough and they were shipwrecked not far from an island (I forget the name). They were saved and luckily there was a British Consul there. The luggage of course was lost but Isabel went back to the beach to find a trunk of hers dancing merrily on the waves and while she watched breathlessly a huge wave cast it up on the sand. It was waterproof and when the Counsul gave a ball for them before their departure, she was the only one wearing her own ball dress and was easily the belle of the ball. I was quite startled when Granny told me it was the best trip of all! Young and a pretty new dress! No, people have not changed much at heart. My grandmother, after her father's death, became his wealthy heiress. Unfortunately, being a Quaker, he had made a will in her favor but a trusty friend, also a Quaker, disappeared with all cash of which he alone knew of and could not be traced, so Isabel Greene inherited the house and all furnishings and the money left in the house for current expenses. She wrote a very well to do relation cousin who lived in Ireland and following her advice sold everything and went to live with her. She met Thomas Stanus Pattison who was a civil engineer at the time and they were married. T.S. Pattison was outstanding in his profession and later on had an offer to manage the enormous estate of a wealthy landowner. Of this marriage several children were born. Those who lived and which I knew were: Sarah (oldest) married the lawyer Mr. Hurel. Marthe - never married. Lucie - never married Isabelle married Paul d' Hennin Thomas Stanus, my father, married Marie Anna Labbé. When my grandfather retired with a handsome pension he took his family to London where they made their home till they moved to Paris. I was quite small, but I remember that they had a large corner apartment with a balcony. Avenue de al Grande Armie which at that time was very fashionable. I remember visiting them and as I had not brought my doll with me she made one with the little fireside broom. She used to bounce me on her knee saying "Ride a cock horse to Brandbury Cross." I remember that on one occasion we went to wish them good-bye. We were going to the seaside. As we reached the street, waiting for the fiacre (cab) we looked up and waved at them. I felt "funny"; we got in the cab and I became violently sick to my father's great disgust. He asked Maman if I always had to do that to which she replied that I was very sensitive and became upset. (Tableau de famille.) One day one bell rang and Maman opened the door to a cousin who was crying and saying that grandfather was dying. Then I remember the day of the funeral and someone lifting me to place a bunch of violets, his favorite flowers, near his hands. The place was dark and I had to keep quiet because grandfather was sleeping. I was five years of age and he was eighty. He must have been born in 1802. It is very odd that I do not remember him at all nor ever seeing him alive. I remember the others at that time. My mother loved him and he was very fond of her. He was peaceful and gentle, but once or twice he had become very angry. My mother said it was a "sainte colire" holy anger. They were both poets. He had a small book of verse published and when I was grownup my aunts showed it to me and one was "to my granddaughter." I was to have it but I came to America and forgot about it. I guess I am very sorry. _______________________________________________________________ In the French naturalization papers for Thomas Stannus Pattison, Isabella Green is listed as having been born in 1809, but her age listed in the 1871 British census would make her birth year about 1811. The 1871 census lists her name as Isabella Johnson Pattison. The Quaker records of her children's births also list her as Isabella Johnson. There are two interesting possibilies. Perhaps she had a husband named Johnson prior to marrying Thomas Pattison. Or maybe Johnson is her mother's maiden name. | Isabella Johnson Green

Keller, Dead On Sunday morning, January 28, 1912, John M. Keller died at the home of his son Henry Keller, north of town. Two weeks ago, Uncle John as the deceased was generally and familiarly known, slipped on the icy ground, striking on the back of his head with such force as to cause concusion of the brain and which finally terminated in his death. Uncle John Keller was a kindly old man, who was a friend to everybody and every- body was his friend. He was an industrious hardworking man all his life, and while it was not his fortune to accumulate much of this world's goods, he leaves a heritage for his children of having been an upright, industrious, honest man, and a good citizen. John M. Keller was born Jan. 21, 1836, died Jan. 28, 1912, aged 76 years, 7 days. He leaves to mourn his death his widow, six children, one brother and one sister, who are Mrs. Jane Keller, Mrs. A. L. Duncan, H. S. Keller, Henry P. Keller, and Mrs. J. D. Amsberry, of Mason City, and Mrs. C. E. Wills, of Ashland, Willard Keller of Grand Island, and his brother Geo. W. Keller of Taylorville, Ill., 82 years old and the sister Eliza Bottles, of New Amsterdam, Ind., 79 years old. The deceased spent the greater part of his life on his mother's farm near New Amsterdam, Ind., where he was born, his father and his youngest brother having died in his early boyhood leaving him the main care of the farm, his older brothers having taken up the work of the ministry which necessarily took them away from home. He was married to Jane Weaver Nov. 24, 1864. He moved with his family to Eastern Nebraska in 1881 soon after his mother's death, where he engaged in farming until 1892, when he removed to Custer county, taking up farming again, which he followed until a few years ago, retiring on account of advancing years. He will be remembered as a loving husband, kind and affectionate father and close friend to all. Funeral services were held at the Christian church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. J. W. Patterson, pastor of the Baptist church, conducting the services. | John Muck Keller

| 50 | They lived at Alstead, New Hampshire until 1796. On November 17, 1794 Major James Kingsbury is licensed to keep a tavern and retail spirituous liquors in the town of Alstead for the space of one year from this date. In 1796 they moved to Ohio; first to where Conneaut now stands and in 1797 to the present site of Cleveland, where Colonel (by now) Kingsbury built the first house, a log cabin. Their fourth childe was the first white person born on the Western Reserve and the United States Government, years afterwards, awarded to Eunice (Waldo) Kingsbury, 160 acres of land near Cleveland for birthing the first white child in northern Ohio. The child, Albert, Literally died of starvation for Eunice was prostrated with fever in February 1797 and lay for a long time, unconscious and at death's door and was, of course, unable to feed and nourish the child. His father, James, using his gun box for a coffin, made the first burial of a white person in the Reserve. In time Eunice recovered and in May 1797, the family suffering such privations as few are compelled to, made its way to the present site of Cleveland and settled at a point three miles east of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. James was appointed judge of the court of common pleas. In 1805 he as elected a member of the Ohio State Legislature and was re-elected for a second term. _______________________________________________________________ When Col. James Kingsbury concluded to make a "hazard of new fortunes" by leaving Alstead, N. H., for the wilds of Ohio, he little dreamed that it would take a whole year to reach his final destination. Furthermore, could he have foreseen even a part of the tragedy awaiting him, it is more than probable Cleveland would have lacked one of its pioneers of 1797. In his haste to make the change, he did not wait for surveyors to lay out the land and report conditions, but left New Hampshire, June, 1796, about the time that Moses Cleaveland and his party arrived in Buffalo on their way to the Western Reserve. It is difficult, from the stand-point of to-day, when the average man is over-careful, perhaps, regarding the health and comfort of his family, why or how a husband and father could be induced to burn all his ships behind him and, in absolute ignorance of what awaited his wife and little ones, start with them on a journey of hundreds of miles, in order to settle down in a trackless wilderness, out of reach of medical aid, and all else that pertains to the safety of civilization. That another babe was added to the number and perished, and that the whole family nearly lost their lives through starvation and exposure, seems a natural consequence of a rash undertaking. But Judge Kingsbury was not the only Cleveland pioneer to take such risks, and the only reason that his experiences were not identically those of many other, was simply through great good luck rather tan wise precaution. He was the son of Absolm Kingsbury, of Norwich, Conn. As that part of Connecticut was aflame with patriotism through the Revolutionary period, it is not remarkable that all his older brothers saw active service in the cause of Freedom. He himself born in 1767, was too young to engage in the strife. After the close of the war, members of the family removed to New Hampshire, and at the age of 21 r. Kingsbury married Miss Eunice Waldo. She was the daughter of John and Hannah Carleton Waldo. Her grandfather, Lieut. John Carleton, her father, and two brothers reinforced the garrison of Ticonderoga when it was besieged. When they started for Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. Kingsbury had three children. The oldest , a daughter, was three years old, the next a boy, was two years old, and the youngest, also a boy, was an infant. They took with them a cow, horse, yoke of oxen, and a few household necessities. Accompanying them was a young lad by the name of Carleton, the nephew of Mr. Kingsbury, who assisted by driving the animals in advance of the family, or following with them close in the rear. When Oswego was reached, the party continued the journey in an open, flat-bottomed boat, which conveyed them through Lake Ontario and, perhaps, Lake Erie, while the nephew on foot or horseback drove the animals along the shores. They arrived in Conneaut, Ohio, in October, four months from the time they started on their journey. Moses Cleaveland and his surveyors left Cleveland on their way back to civilization, October 18, and Conneaut, Oct. 21. Whether the Kingsburys reached the latter place in time to meet the surveyors has not been stated, and just where the family spent the following winter months is a matter of conjecture. They could not have been with the Guns at Castle Stow, for no mention whatever is made of the Guns in the narration of all that befell the Kingsburys in their desperate struggle for existence. Conneaut is on the site of an Indian village, about a mile and a half from the mouth of the river and Castle Stow. It consisted of a number of rude but comfortable cabins, occupied in the summer months by a remnant of the Massasaugas, who, at the approach of the winter, vacated until spring, spending intervening time farther south. Mr. Kingsbury may have taken advantage of this to obtain the use of one of these cabins, which would explain why the family seem to have been living separate from the Guns. Why it seemed expedient for him to leave his family under such circumstances and return at once to Alsted, N. H., has never been clearly explained. He intended to make the journey there and return on horseback within six weeks. Meanwhile, he had been storing up malaria in his system, and by the time he reached his former home, it began its work. For weeks he lay on his bed, too ill to start back for Ohio, and before he was able to do so, Mrs. Kingsbury passed through the supreme peril of motherhood alone in the wilderness. Before she could attend once more to household affairs, the nephew, through ignorance of the consequences, poisoned the cow by feeding it oak twigs. Those of the elm or beech would have been harmless, and twigs of trees and bushes were the only provender available, but the boy did not know that any difference existed. Then Mrs. Kingsbury became ill, and while burning with the fever, natural sustenance for the babe ceased, and she had to endure its moans of starvation , unable to relieve it. It died as Mr. Kingsbury came staggering back from the East, his poor horse having dropped exhausted by the way. With the help of his nephew he fashioned a rude coffin, and dug a grave in the frozen ground. As they bore the little body out of the cabin, Mrs. Kingsbury sank back unconscious. There was no food in store, and Mr. Kingsbury started back for Erie to obtain corn, dragging a handsleigh there and back. This corn, partially crushed, was all the family had to eat until March, when pigeons and other wild game began to return from the South. When, in 1797, the second surveyor party, on its way to finish the work of the previous summer, arrived at Conneaut, they found the Kingsburys in a feeble condition of health through lack of proper food and medicine. Their immediate wants were relieved, and they accompanied the surveyors to Cleveland. Whether from the start this place had been Mr. Kingsbury's objective point, or that he concluded to accept the offer of 100 acres of land from the Connecticut Land Company, should he become a settler of the frontier hamlet, has not been ascertained. The family took refuge in an old trading hut on the west side of the river, nearly opposite the foot of St. Clair Street, in which they remained until their own cabin was built. Mr. Kingsbury had selected original lots 59 and 60 -- the site of the Old Stone Church and old court-house, but as Cleveland was all woods, with lots only partially defined, he may have made a mistake when he built on lot 64. The post-office and E. 3rd Street now occupy lot 63, so that the site of Kingsbury's cabin is now covered with the city hall building. Within two years they removed to the northwest corner of Kinsman and Woodhill Roads, on a farm, a portion of which was underlaid with fine building stone, and proved of great value. Mr. Kingsbury also owned several city lots, which ultimately netted a fortune. The light-house on Water Street stands on one of these. The large frame-house that remained the homestead for 45 years was, in its day, considered quite pretentious, and was the center of hospitality and good cheer. Mrs. Eunice Kingsbury was a good, kind-hearted woman, it was but natural that she could never endure the thought of allowing any one to go hungry, and was prompt to relieve necessity in any form. The homestead stood far enough from town for young and old to make it the terminus of merry sleighing parties, who were welcomed, warmed and feasted with typical, old-fashioned hospitality. Memories of it lingered with the early settlers as long as life lasted, and traditions of it handed down to posterity. The kindly spirit that pervaded it, the big elm trees that shaded it, the apple and cherry trees surrounding it -- whose delicious fruit was freely shared with many who had none, and the children who overflowed it, leading happy, natural lives. Col. Kingsbury became "Squire Kingsbury", and then "Judge Kingsbury", and filled may placed of trust in the city and county. He died in 1847, aged 80 years. His three older brothers, Dr. Asa Kingsbury, Lieut. Ephraim Kingsbury, and Obadiah Kingsbury, were soldiers of the American Revolution. His sister Margaret married John Carleton, whose children settled in Western Reserve. Mrs. Eunie Waldo Kingsbury died in 1843, aged 73 years. Judge and Mrs. Eunice Waldo Kingsbury were both laid to rest in Erie Street Cemetery. Their children were: Amos Kingsbury, b. 1793; m. Kingsbury Ingersoll; 2nd, Mary Sherman. Almon Kingsbury, b. 1795; m. Lucy cone. Abigail Kingsbury, b. 1792; m. Dyer Sherman, of Vermont. Elmira Kingsbury, b. 1794; m. Perley Hosmer. Nancy Kingsbury, b. 1798; m. Caleb Baldwin Cleveland.
