6955	From "The Iowa Citizen" newspaper, July 5, 1905: "Miss Chapin Died in N.Y. Lady Who Was Formerly Pastor in the Unitarian Church Here is Dead Many people here will be interested in knowing that Miss Augusta Chapin died July 1 in New York City. Death was caused by pneumonia and the deceased was sixty-nine years old. More than thirty years ago she was pastor in the Unitarian church at this place and subsequently she has held many prominent positions, filling at one time the pulpit of the Universalist church at Mount Vernon. She was a champion of woman's rights."	CHAPIN, Rev Dr Rev Dr Augusta Jane (I1387)
6956	From "Anne Arundel Gentry:" Richard was in Virginia before settling at Herring Creek, Anne Arundel, MD. He probably was in Virginia by 1630, married, and had all of his children before moving to Maryland, perhaps to free himself of the conservative force of the former. He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1645 to 1647 representing Upper Norfolk Co. In 1653, he claimed land rights for himself, his wife, Frances, and 11 children. As such he was granted 1100 acres, "Well's Neck," on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay on the south side of Back River. He became a large patentee of land but made his home at Herring Bay. On 1 Mar 1654/5, he served under the Lord Protector in governing Maryland. He was appointed Justice of the Peace on 12 Jul 1657 and continued so until 1661. In land transactions in 1660, he was referred to as Chirurgeon (Surgeon). The will of Richard was dated 22 Jun 1667 and probated on 21 August following in Anne Arundel (Wills, Liber 1, folio 287). His five older sons, Richard, George, John, Robert, and Benjamin were named executors. He left personalty to daughter Martha, wife of Anthony Selway, dau Ann wife of Dr. John Stanby, and dau Mary, wife of Thomas Stockett. He had maintained an estate in England and Richard, Jr., went there and proved the will at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in 1668. His inventory indicated great wealth. To son Richard 600 acres, "Wells" on Herring Creek; 100 Acres, "Little Wells"; 420 Acres, "Wells Hills". To son George 300 Acres " Planters Delight" in Baltimore Co., also 475 acres "Wells Neck" in Baltimore Co. To son John 1500 acres "Lankford's Neck", in Talbot Co. To son Robert 350 acres, "West Wells", Anne Arundel Co. To son Benjamin 280 acres "Benjamin's Choice", Anne Arundel Co.	WELLS, Richard (I16491)
6957	From History of Reedsburg 1853 - No year in the early annals of pioneering brought more permanent settlers into the Little Baraboo Valley, than this. Many of them were Quakers, and hailed from the aguey lowlands of Indiana. These were the esteemed old Quaker families, and it is written that they "drove in covered wagons westward in search of a more healthy country and climate, and for some unknown reason, perhaps because of the pure water supply, took up landing the Little Baraboo Valley. This was the beginning of the Settlement of the Friends, though many came later who were not Quakers. James STANLEY and his wife, Jemina, and family were among these. Mr. STANLEY, like Mr. DAVIS, was an inspired minister and often preached in the Quaker church which was later founded. He had two children, one of whom, Hulda, married William, also a child of Benjamin PICKERING. Jesse and Hanna DENNIS, the former a minister, Frances and Louisa JONES, Zimri and Pheriba SMALL, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph SMALL, Bailey and Betsy PEARSON, Solomon and Martha PEARSON, Mr. and Mrs. Elijah PICKERING, Mr. and Mrs. William BADGLEY, John HORINE, Henry and Rachael HORINE, Wilson and Martha SMITH, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gaylord BLAKESLEE, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin TENNALL, George HENRY, Adam FIGHT, Burford TUNNEL, William ALL and Jessie MALLOW and Simeon MORTIMER came that year.

6959	From The Abell Family in America by Horace and Lewis Abell: "Some records mentioned a James Abell, marrying Sarah Bowen, Dec 27, 1686 but this appears to be incorrect. The original vital records of Rehoboth state that Sarah Bowen married Preserved Abell, Dec. 27 1686. The vital and probate records and register of deeds do not list any individual by the name of James Abell. No record has been found that shows the name of this child. It is quite probable that a connection with the Maryland-Virginia-Kentucky families may be established through this child."	ABELL, George (I14859)

6961	From The Felt Genealogy "Samuel Felt settled in Somers not far from 1720. He emigrated thither from Salem when such a journey must have been made on foot or horseack through a wilderness in which lurked dangers from savage beasts and still more savage men. We find that a number of Salem families settled early in Somers, among them that of Josiah Wood, who had married an aunt of Samuel Felt, and this was undoubtedly the inducement that drew him thither, - an enterprise that was soon followed by the remaining members of his family. It is related of Samuel that his first appearance in Somers was upon a sorrel mare, clad in a suit of yellow-brown homespun. As he stopped before the tavern kept by Serah Kibbee, he attracted the attention of a young girl who stood in the doorway, who, under the excitement of seeing a good-looking young stranger with fair locks, exclaimed to her mother, "Yellow man, yellow mare, yellow coat, yellow hair." She afterwards became his wife and the mother of his children. Samuel Felt served in the French and Indian War and bore the title of captain to his dying day. He became a considerable land-owner in Somers, having a valuable farm stretching along the highway, now the "street" of Somers. His house was on the corner of the road leading north past the old meeting-house, and, after his son Samuel married, he shared it with him. He was a "joyner" as well as a farmer, and a man prominent and useful in the community. Samuel Felt and his wife united with the church in Somers, May 21, 1727, upon the occasion of the first sacrament of this new church, and to the end of the ninety years of his life he bore the reputation of a righteous and God-fearing man. He died in Somers, March 23, 1788."	FELT, Samuel (I14305)
6962	From The Felt Genealogy, " In the beginning of the year 1675 the prosperity of Falmouth stood at a hight point, the town was occupied by energetic and enterprising people and mills had been established upon various streams in the vicinity. When, in June of this year, King Philip's War broke out in the Plymouth Colony, George Felt, Jr. was peacefully enjoying his home at Mussel Cove, about two miles eastward from the "Neck" or the "Machigone" of the natives, the present city of Portland. Although the Falmouth Indians evinced to other than a peaceable disposition towards the English, it was thought best on the part of the authorities to deprive them of their weapons; but upon attempting to carry this measure into effect, collisions naturally occurred and the fear and jealousy of the Indians were aroused. They forgot all the former kindnesses they had received, and open hostilities between them and the settlers became the signal for mutual extermination. The Indians began by gratifying their revenge upon those whom they deemed unfriendly, but, through the influence of the dis-affected Narrangansett Indians, the war ended in the indiscriminate slaughter of the settlers. An early and severe winter put a stop to hostilities, but not until some 50 settlers and over 90 Indians had been slain. In the summer of 1676 the war again broke out with renewed fury and with greater loss of life and property than on the previous year, and George Felt was numbered among its victims. So furious and persistent were the Indian attacks upon the people of Falmouth, that they fled for safety to a garrison upon James Andrew's Island, now known as Cushing's Island. The Rev. William Hubbard, Minister of Ipswich, published in 1677, a History of the Indian Wars in New England and in the quaint and interesting language of this narrative we give the closing scenes in the life of George Felt, Jr. "The day after, one George Felt suspecting the worse by reason of a smoak he saw on the opposite side of the Town, took his wife and Children into a Canoo to see what the matter was but when he came near a point of Land not far off, he found several of his Neighbors goods, which made him conclude their Owners were killed, which was sufficient warning to hime likewise to fly for his Life which he did to the same Island....Within a while after, or much about the same time, another sad Accident befel six or seven of them that belonged to Casco. For upon the twenty third of September some Persons that belonged to a Sloop and a Shallop that were pressed into service....were over desirous to save some of their Provision, to which end they first made their Address to Captain Hathorne (Under whom they were ordered to serve) desiring they might be released: the Captain told them he could not do it, but desired them to have patience for a while, they told him, that they must and would go, else their Families must starve at Home: the Captain told them further of the danger, and bid them not stir at their peril; However they would go, and soon after went to Mount-joyes Island to fetch Sheep, where they landed seven men; but the Indians presently set upon them, they presently betook themselves to the Ruines of a Stone House where they defended themselves as long as they could; but at last they were all destroyed either with Stones cast in upon them, or else with the Enemies shot, except one, who, thought at first it was hoped that his wounds were not mortal, yet soon after dyed thereof; Amongst them was one George Felt, much lamented, who had been more active than any man inthose parts against the Indians, but at last he lost his own life amongst them, in this too desperate an Adventure."	FELT, George (I14331)
6963	From The History of Sauk County, Wisconsin " E. F. Buelow, proprietor of saloon and billiard hall, Reedsburg; born in Prussia Feb 28, 1830; came to America in 1851, and, in October of that year, went to Sauk Prairie, Wis., and engaged in farming. In 1861, Sept 26, he enlisted in Co. B, 12th W.V.I.; he afterward became leader of the band for regiment, and, subsequently promoted to head leadership of "quarter-band' of 17th Army Corps' under Gen. Howard; Mr. B. was married to Miss B. D. Hoobeen, who was born in Galway, Ireland, March 29, 1841; Mr. B. has had a family of ten children, of whom he has lost two; his oldest son, George, was born Dec. 13, 1859; Katie, July 20, 1862; Edward, December, 1865; Hattie, Jan. 20, 1868; Nellie, Sept 13, 1870; Thomas; Dec. 16, 1873; Theresa, June 21, 1876 and William, Aug. 10, 1878. Mr. Buelow is a member of the Odd Fellows lodge.	BUELOW, Edward Frederick (I3274)
6964	From Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors: " No record of his death has been found, and as the records of Great Leighs are quite full, it is probable that he did not die there. He may have removed to Braintree and had other children, but the records of Braintree extend no farther than 1660 and the earliest known date of a Kellogg in Braintree was in 1623, when Moses Woll mentioned Phillippe's son, Robert, in his will."	KELLOGG, Phillipe (I1776)
6965	From Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors: " Robert Hinsdale, was an early settler of Dedham, Mass.; removed to Hatfield, thence to Hadley, and later to Deerfield, where, together with his three sons, he was slain by the Indians, 18 Sept., 1675."	HINSDALE, Samuel (I10485)
6966	From Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors: " Robert Hinsdale, was an early settler of Dedham, Mass.; removed to Hatfield, thence to Hadley, and later to Deerfield, where, together with his three sons, he was slain by the iNDIANS, 18 sEPT., 1675."	HINSDALE, Robert (I14900)
6967	From Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors: " When Deerfield was destroyed by the French and Indians, 29 Feb., 1704, he and four of his children, Martin, Joseph, Joanna and Rebecca, were taken prisoners and carried to Canada. His son, Jonathan, was killed. Mrs. Kellogg escaped. There is a tradition that at the time of the attack upon the house (which was at night), Mrs. Kellogg "escaped from her bed with her infant, a few days old, to the cellar, and after secreting her infant, turned a large tub over herself; the cries of the child attracted the attention of the Indians, who immediately siezed it and dashed it against the wall. They afterward feasted upon the stores which they found in the cellar, sitting upon the tub which concealed the wretched mother. On their departure, they set fire to the dwelling. She rushed from the house, almost naked and, with bare feet, fled through the deep snow for two miles to the house then used as a fort." The youngest child of Martin Kellogg was Jonathan, b. 17 Dec., 1698, and, as recorded in the Hampshire County Recorder's book at Hatfield, he "was slain in the fort," which seems to dispose of the tradition of the infant, a few days old, carried to the cellar and secreted by his mother. How much truth there is in the rest of the tradition is unknown. The father and his four children were separated, as the Indians, after their depredations, divided into as many parties, each taking a prisoner. It is not know when he returned. In Oct., 1705, eleven of the Deerfield captives came home; the names of only three are known... In 1706 forty-four English captive were returned from Canada. The names of but few of them are known. It is probable that in one of these parties Martin Kellogg, Sr., came." From Unredeemed Captive: "Early on the morning of February 29, 1704, before the settlers of Deerfield, Massachusetts, had stirred from their beds, a French and Indian war party opened fire, weilding hatchets and torches, on the lightly fortified town. The Kelloggs...had been major sufferers in the Deerfield massacre: a boy killed, the father (Martin, Sr.) and four other children (Martin, Jr., Joseph, Joanna, and Rebecca) taken prisoner, the mother "escaped." Martin, Sr. returned to New England in one of the first prisoner exchanges. Martin, Jr. fled (apparently from Kahnawake) with three other boys in 1705 and made his way back to Deerfield - only to be recaptured, and repatriated for good, in 1708. After the peace of 1713, he returned to Canada to retrieve his brother Joseph. And Joseph would subsequently undertake the same errand - several times- on behalf of his captive sisters. The latter, however, chose to remain; Joanna, indeed, would subsequently marry a Kahnawake chief."	DICKINSON, Sarah Foote (I2351)

6971	From a web site that was supposed to be about Motor Museum but that part wasn't functional yet. TORSÅNG - THE CULTURAL HERITAGE This part of our country, which is called Dalarna, is full of historical memories. Torsång is a small village, and you will find it if you follow the road 8 km southeast of Borlänge along the river Dalälven. People have lived here since the Stone Age and the place is one of the oldest parishes in Dalarna. The church is the oldest preserved building in Torsång. It was built in the 14th century, and the christening font is from the 13th century. The building is made of granite and brick, and is very beautiful. To understand the importance of Torsång, you have to know a little about the geographi of Dalarna. In Dalarna there are two rivers taking up all water from the western and northern parts. They are called Västerdalälven and Österdalälven. These two rivers brings together in Dalälven a couple of miles north of Torsång, and floats through Torsång out to the sea. The water from the eastern part of Dalarna floats down to a lake called Runn. Runn is connected to Dalälven with a small river called Lillälven. Falu Koppargruva has always needed lots of wood. At the beginning of the 17th century was the neighbourhood out of wood and the king of Sweden, Karl IX, banned cutting trees in an area of 10 km around Falun. Since the rivers always have been used for transporting it became natural to take the trees in the big forests in the eastern and northern parts of Dalarna, and from there float them down the river to Falun by way of Torsång. In the middle of the sixties the last log was floated down this river, and this village began to die. At the end of the seventies some of the government institutions were moved to Borlänge. Lots of people had to move from Stockholm to Borlänge. This was a new time of prosperity for Torsång. About 150 houses and a new provision shop were built in Torsång. This generation now has grown-up children and the provision shop has had to close down. Nowadays you can say that this village begins to come to life when it's time for the spring flood, and that it slows down when the trees lose their leaves.	GORSDOTTER, Margareta Elisabet (I3135)

6973	From Bacon Family history: Orrin Wyatt Cook, birth parents Marshall Lewis & Abigail Cook, was born July 12, 1856 in Dayton, Green Co, WI, came to MN when a small child with his parents. His father died soon after returning from the Civil War in poor health. His mother and 5 children survived. The Mother had to put her children out to neighbors for adoption. Orrin who was adopted by Samuel and Frances (Clark) Bacon, died Dec 20, 1925 Winnebago, Faribault Co, MN.	BACON, Orrin Wyatt (I10992)
6974	From Derick Hartshorn, p. 50: 'Ebenezer is the best known of all the Norwich Hartshorns. As Justice of the Peace, he performed most of the marriages in that locality for more than thirty years. As Town Clerk the records are in his handwriting for a very long period and he is responsible for their careful arrangement. The old Probate files in the State Library at Hartford contain many wills drawn in his hand; he apparently did such work for a large acquaintance. Most contemporary files have Ebenezer as appraiser, witness, or executor. He met his future wife, Miriam Gregory, at the home of her aunt, Mrs Johanna Rudd of Norwich. He was described as 'talented,' she as 'accomplished.' ... In extreme age, he felt an urge to write a genealogy for the instruction of posterity. Therefore at ninety-one years he made the poem which his descendants still cherish.'	HARTSHORN, Ebenezer (I2276)
6975	From Foote History and Genealogy: DANIEL FOOTE, b. Apr. 27, 1724; m. Jan. 14, 1748, Martha, dau. of Dea. John Stillman, and great-grand-dau. of Lieut. Phillip Smith, of Hadley, Mass. She d. July 24, 1794; ae. 64. He removed from Simsbury, Ct., about 1764 to Washington, Mass., and cleared away the forest and made a farm. He moved next to Dalton, Mass.; purchased land and brought into cultivation a valuable farm. This he sold to Daniel, his oldest son, and moved to Middlebury, Vt., and bought one thousand acres of wild land, on which he built mills, felled the forest, and resided for many years. About 1783 he bought all of the land that is now in the village of Middlebury on the west side of the river and erected a grist mill and saw mill. This property was given by him to his sons Stillman and John, the latter selling his interest to Appleton in 1792. They built dwellings and improved the property. (See History of Middlebury.) Daniel Foote built the first bridge at Middlebury Falls. About 1801 he divided his property at Middlebury among his children, and went to Canton, N. Y., his son Stillman having moved there a short time before. In passing through Montreal, he took the small-pox and died a few days after he arrived in Canton. He was a man of great industry and indominable perseverance, and peculiarly fitted for a pioneer in a new country. He d. May 10, 1801, and was buried in an elm bark coffin. All of his twelve children were members of the church. His sons also were pioneers, and their children are now widely scattered over the United States.	STILLMAN, Deacon Deacon John (I8571)
6976	From Ingham and Eaton Co., MI History Almon M. CHAPIN, a native of Massachusetts, and for some time a resident of Livingston Co., N.Y., (had lived also in Onondaga County), left the latter State with his family in December, 1842, and came with teams through Northern Ohio to Michigan, the trip occupying eighteen days. The household goods had been sent by water to Detroit. The family arrived in Vevay on or about the 1st of January, 1843, and moved into a log house which was built by William AUSTIN and was then vacant. The snow lay very deep on the ground, and, soon after they occupied the house and built a fire therein, the melting snow broke down the roof. It was repaired, and the family lived in the house until the following October, when they moved into a frame house, which is now the rear portion of the dwelling occupied by Mr. CHAPIN's widow and family. The fine grove in front of the house at present consists of natural trees, which were left purposely when the place as first occupied. A burning log-heap in front of the house destroyed a portion of them (the trees being then but saplings), but enough were preserved to make a beautiful grove, which is now the pride of the locality. Mr. CHAPIN was a model citizen, and one of the most prominent in the township. His death occurred on the 5th of September, 1878, in his home at Chapin's Station, or "Eden."

6977	From Payne Kilbourne's History of the Kilbourne name: 'David -- married Hannah White, daughter of Joseph White, a loyalist of New Hampshire, and settled on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence, a few miles below Brockville. ------ Though residing in the king's dominions, he was a republican at heart, and in the war of 1812, he engaged in the secret service of the United States, under the direction of Gen. Wilkinson, in consequence of which his entire estate in Canada was confiscated to the British government. He soon after removed to Scriba, near Oswego, NY, where he continued to reside until his death in1847. His services were acknowledged by the American Congress, and appropriations were made by that body to reward him for his services, and compensate him in part for his losses.	KILBORN, David (I8680)
6978	From Pioneer History of Ingham County. The Chapin farm became well known throughout the country because of the fact that J.W. Chapin, son of Almon M. Chapin, developed on it the largest sugar bush in the state of Michigan. It is a far cry from the charmingly primitive "sugar bush" of fiction to the business-like proposition of modern farm life, but it is safe to say that not even the most advanced agriculturist elsewhere has a trolley line and telephone connection from his residence to his sugar bush, as has J.W. Chapin of Eden (1912). Eden is a little hamlet four miles south of Mason, and the Chapin estate of 360 acres, which has been in the family for many years, is the largest farm for many miles around. The Lansing-Jackson branch of the Michigan United Railway runs through the farm, passing close to the house and also the sugar bush one-half mile away. A private telephone line runs from the sugar house to the residence and a switch here gives connections with all the neighboring towns. The Jackson-Saginaw branch of the Michigan Central Railroad is only a few rods away on the opposite side of the house from the M.U.R. Mr. Chapin now taps 2,200 trees every season, producing from 6,000 to 9,000 pounds of syrup and sugar each year. This is shipped to private parties all over the country, most of whom have standing orders for their year's supply. As proof of the quality of his products Mr. Chapin shows medals won by his exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition and a diploma received at the Pan-American. The sugar orchard comprises 80 acres of a 140 acre wood lot, and besides the service they have given the Chapin family for seventy years there is proof that they yielded their sweetness for the benefit of the Indians long before the advent of the white men. The remains of bark troughs and wooden spiles, with the added evidence of the scars to be found on the mammoth maple trees, go to show that the red man had knowledge of this valuable asset and made use of it. It is said that the Indians made pilgrimages to this part of the county every spring, where they camped through the maple sugar season and "milked" the numerous sugar bushes in this vicinity. The crude methods they employed in manufacturing the sugar, which was said to be black and full of leaves and twigs, were of course the best they knew, and it makes one wonder what their sensations would have been could they have taken a peep into Mr. Chapin's modern and model sap house and watched the work done there. Let us see how this plant was conducted in 1913. The work began early in the winter when the men commenced to fill the huge shed at the sugar camp with wood ready to feed the furnaces. Then the first warm day that promised spring began the work of tapping the trees. Iron spouts were driven into holes previously bored in the trees about three feet from the ground. On these were hung tin sap pails, with wooden covers so adjusted as to exclude everything but the pure, limpid sap. The larger trees carry two or three pails. Two teams are kept busy gathering sap, each drawing a steel tank holding several barrels of the fluid, and three men work with each outfit. The tanks are mounted on runners, as they are more practical for use in snow and mud than wheels. Deep snow often makes the work of gathering sap very difficult. The sugar house contains two 20 foot evaporators, with 25-foot smokestacks, and to attend to the fires and watch the boiling sap keeps one man busy. The teams bring the sap to an elevation beside the sugar camp, where it is emptied through a hose into big 50 foot barrel tanks. From this supply a constant stream flows into the shallow pans of the evaporator. These pans are about 2 x 5 feet in size, and are connected with each other by tubing at the ends, so that the boiling sap is kept constantly circulating. After making the circuit of the first evaporator it is piped to the other. The furnace man's chief anxiety is to boil down the sap as soon as possible after it is brought in as the making of the finest quality of syrup demands that the sap be gathered once a day or oftener, and used immediately. Openings in the roof of the sugar house allow clouds of steam from the boiling pans to escape. When the syrup reaches the proper consistency it is strained and allowed to settle. For sugar the syrup is boiled again then molded into five pound cakes. The output depends on the length of the season, whic is never two years like. Extremely cold weather changing rapidly to warm spring weather oftentimes starts the buds on the trees and makes a very short season. Work in the sugar bush does not stop when the sap ceases to run, as then the thousands of pails must be overhauled and scalded, then packed away to await the next season's run. Five years later sees this all changed. In 1914 Mr. Chapin was working with a hay fork in his barn when the machine fell and struck him, and death followed instantaneously. Mr. Chapin, in addition to conducting this sugar bush mentioned, worked about 200 acres of farm land in a superior manner, and was considered an authority on all matters of an agricultural nature. After his death Mrs. Chapin and the son who remained home found the farm land all they could attend to, and when the fuel shortage struck the county in 1918 the City of Lansing bought the wood lot, which included the sugar bush, to supply its municipal wood yard, and this wonderful landmark containing trees centuries old went up in smoke. This was a blow to the maple sugar industry in Ingham county, which was augmented by the sale of several other good-sized, well-known sugar orchards in this vicinity which went for the same purpose among them the one of the Fuller farm, which was also known to the Indians, and had yielded annual sugar crops for a long time as the one on the Chapin farm. Mrs. Chapin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Asher Lyon, came to Vevay in the early days from Geneva, N.Y. Mr. Lyon died some years ago in Gratiot county, where he had lived for some years, but Mrs. Lyon and their eleven children are still living and recently held a family reunion at the Chapin home in Eden, beneath the original forest trees that surround the old homestead. Since the death of Mr. Chapin in 1914 Mrs. Chapin has conducted the large farm very successfully, and last spring was elected justice of the peace for Vevay, on the Republican ticket, over her oldest son who ran against her. Like his father, J.W. Chapin was active in the work of the Ingham County Agricultural Society, the Farmers' Club and the County Pioneer and Historical Society; in the latter societies Mrs. Chapin has held offices several times. Besides his widow, Mr. Chapin was survived by six children Almon M., named for his grandfather, owns a farm adjoining the old homestead; Alice, who graduated from the State Normal College at Ypsilanti and the University of Pennsylvania, later taking post graduate courses at Columbia and Harvard Universities. She has taught for a number of years, a part of the time being in charge of the physically deficient children in the Detroit schools and those of Minneapolis, Minn. She is now superintendent of an extensive Settlement House in Minneapolis which is supported by the wealthy people of that city. Julius, a graduate of M.A.C., for some years county agricultural agent in various parts of the state, but now engaged in business for himself in Traverse City, Mich. Ethel, for many years a teacher in St. Johns, now taking a course in a Nurses Training School in Chicago University. Warren, employed in Detroit. Martha, a graduate of Ypsilanti Normal and Olivet College, now teaching. The Chapin family was one of the first in this section to establish a state game refuge on their land, which is kept up in strict accordance with the law.	CHAPIN, Julius Willie (I1393)
6979	From the History of Livingston County, Michigan: " James M. La Rue, also from Steuben Co., NY settled at Dexter, Washtenaw Co., Mich, as early, probably, as 1830. In the neighborhood of 1840 he moved into Putnam and located southeast of Pinckney, where his son, Charles F. La Rue, at present resides.

6982	From the Steuben Farmers Advocate of February 3, 1858: "Died - At Wheeler on 12th ult., Albertus Larrowe in the 82nd yr. of his age. He was born in NJ in 1776; in 1797 he moved to Steuben and was employed by Col. Williamson as a carpenter. He married the daughter of late Wm. Aulls, one of earliest settlers of Urbana. Albertus located in Reading in 1800, then in Wheeler in 1807. His son is Hon. Jacob Larrowe, late a County Judge."	LARROWE, Albertus (I1344)
6983	From the Aulls genealogy: "About 1775, Revolutionary War action being too close for comfort, he decided to go to the Scotch-Irish settlement in the vicinity of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he again engaged in the mercantile and milling business. All of his children except two were born there. During his stay in Pennsylvania he served in the Revolution with Captain James Clark's Company, 6th Battalion of the Pennsylvania Militia. Sometime later he decided to sell his property and join a cousin by the name of Calhoun who had come over with him on his second trip from Ireland and settled and prospered in South Carolina. After liquidating his property, Aulls found inflation setting in and his Continental currency badly depreciated, so he gave up his plans to move south and subsequently decided to homestead in the 'Genesee Country' of New York State. The 'Genesee Country' included at this time all of western New York and northern Pennsylvania. There were few roads and most travel was over Indian trails, often with directions only by blazed trees. In the spring of 1793 William Aulls accompanied by his younger son Thomas, a lad of 16, made the journey by horseback from his home in Drumore Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to a locality called Pleasant Valley, between Harnmondsport and Bath, New York, near the southern end of Lake Keuka. They built a small log cabin and planted corn and potatoes. Tom was left on the site by his father, who returned south in August for the rest of the family--his wife, stepdaughter, son, and six daughters. When near Pleasant Valley on his return trip, William sent his older son, Ephraim, by a short cut over the hills to join Tom. Ephraim found Tom sick, but with the arrival of the family in September 1793, he was soon restored to health. Their crops that fall were 63 bushels of corn and an abundance of potatoes. William Aulls decided to settle permanently in the Valley, so, in 1793, he purchased 200 acres of land from the Pulteney Estate of England, through the resident agent, and thus became the first settler of Pleasant Valley, New York. He and his wife were among the founders of the Bath Presbyterian Church, Bath, New York and William served as an Elder in 1811, as attested by a plaque in the front of the present church edifice. He was a commissioner of highways for the town of Bath in 1797."	AULLS, William Jr. (I1445)

6985	From the book about Wabasha Co. Minnesota 'HISTORY OF WABASHA COUNTY' Published 1920 PAGE 496 Lager, Benedict, in former years a well known farmer and highly respected citizen of Pepin Township, but now deceased, was born in Hanover,Germany, March 21, 1841, son of Bernard and Mary Ann Lager. He came to America with his parents, the family residing two or three years in East Dubuque. In 1859 they came to Wabasha County, Minn., settling on a farm in section 28, Pepin Township, about seven miles west of Wabasha. The land was wild, there were no roads, and Indians were numerous. Bernard Lager and his wife were hard workers and in time developed their land into one of the best farms in Pepin Township. Here they spent the rest of their lives respected and esteemed as good neighbors, and both died on the farm. They are buried in St. Felix Cemetery at Wabasha. Benedict Lager's education was begun in Germany, in the common schools, and he also attended school for a while after coming to this country. He resided at home until his marriage in April, 1870, to Caroline, daughter of Bernard and Helen Welp of Pepin Township. She was born in Hanover,Germany, November 16, 1850, and came to America with her parents then ten years old, the family settling on Pepin Hill, this county. Mr. and Mrs.Lager immediately after their marriage took up their residence on the farm in sections 21 and 28, Pepin Township, which he operated successfully until his death in March, 1904. He then owned 280 acres and had improved the property, having built a fine brick house. He carried on extensive agricultural operations, raising both grain and stock. One of the leading citizens of his township, he served it as supervisor and assessor for a number of years, and was a member of the school board of District No. 3. Politically he was a Democrat. At his death he had accumulated a competence, leaving his family in good circumstances, and was a good husband, father and citizen. He and his family were members of St. Felix parish of the Catholic church, and he belonged also to St.Joseph's Society. He was faithful in all the obligations of life and a liberal supporter of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Benedict Lager were the parents of nine children, born as follows: Sophia M., February 12, 1871;Benedict, August 26, 1872; Edward, April 1, 1873; Mary, March 23, 1875; Frank, September 23, 1877; Joseph, October 22, 1879; Henry, April 7,1882; Annie, September 2, 1884, and George, October 3, 1887. Sophia M.,who married Anton Kennebec of Wabasha, died on Wabasha Hill in the spring of 1910, leaving ten children, Isabelle, Lizzetta, Agnes, Clara, Frank,Josepha, Edward, Marcella, Bernice and Ruth.

6986	From the book by Payne Kenyon Kilbourne: 'The family settled in Wethersfield, on the west side of the Connecticut River, six miles below the present city of Hartford, where the subject of this notice spent the remainder of his days, and where he was long a useful and prominent citizen. On the 24th of September, 1647, at the ageof 23 years, his name occurs for the first time upon the Wethersfield records - he having been appointed Collector of the Tax Rates at that date. His first record as a land-holder bears date May 20, 1649. On the 8th of March, 1654, Mr. Kilbourn was appointed a member of the committee to run the boundary line between Wethersfield and Mattabossett,or Middletown, and three years subsequently he was chosen a member of a new committee for the same work. On the 2nd of April, 1655, John Kilbourn and Thomas Wright were appointed 'to run ye line betwixt Hartford and Wethersfield upon ye second day of next week.'' In may, 1657, he was confirmed by the General Court 'to be Sergeant at Wethersfield,' and from that time forward he is almost uniformly designated upon the Town Records as 'Sergeant Kilbourn.' At the October Session of the General Court, 1660, Sergeant Kilbourn took his seat in that body, for the first time, as a Repesentative from Wethersfield. He was a member at seven staed and special session, during a most interesting period of our colonial history. In May, 1661, Sergeant Kilbourn being in attendance, an address to the King was presented to the Court for consideration by a committee previously appointed for that purpose. It was approved; and a committee was appointed to draw up aPetition to His Majesty, and to 'compile and methodize the address as they shall judge most convenient, provided ye substance be still attendedand retained.' The petition and address were perfected; Governor Winthrop was appointed the Agent Colony to present them to the King - and 500 pounds were set apart for the furtehrance of the great object contemplated. These measues resulted in procuring the famous Charter of 1662 - by far the most liberal and republican instrument of civil government that the world at that date had ever seen. Under its benign auspices, the people of Connecticut continued to live and flourish until the adoption of our present State Constitution in 1818 - a period of 156 years. Sergeant Kilbourn was a member of the Legislature during nearly every regular and special session, from the date of the first propositionfor the Address and Petition, to the time when the Charter arrived in theColony - September, 1662; and it is fair to presume that he was a deeply interested participant in those important measures that resulted in the comparative freedom of the colony in which he had laid foundations of a Home for himself. At the May Session of the General Court, 1662, Sergeant Kilbourn was appointed by that body a member of the Colonial Grand Jury - an office which he continued to hold until the organization of the counties, in May, 1666. He was subsequently often a Grand Juror of Hartford County; also of Particular Courts, and Courts of Magistrates. In May, 1677, he was on the 'Jury of Life and Death' at Hartford. In town affairs, our ancestor was conspicuous for a period of nearly 40 years. Besides being a Collector, Lister and Constable, he was a Selectman for eleven years between 1657 and 1681, inclusive. During this period, a by-law was in force, providing that no person should be elected to the latter office for more than two years in succession. He also served on many important committees. In October, 1675, in the midst of the general war with King Philip, John Kilbourne petitioned the Council of War to be released from the office of Sergeant, which he had held for 18 eyars; and it was ordered that when Major Talcott should procure a suitable person in his place, he should be released.

6989	From the History of Connecticut: Daniel Kellogg was christened on 6 February 1629/30 in Great Leighs, Essex, England. Daniel was an original settler of Norwalk in 1651. He was Selectman in 1670; and Deputy for Norwalk 8 times 1670-1683. Daniel Kellogg was a huge man, being more than 7 feet tall, and "of proportionate dimensions otherwise." It is not known when he came to New England, but it is probably that he came with his brothers, Joseph and Samuel. He was on the list of "those to appeare in Towne meetings" 20 March 1656. At a meeting 25 December 1669, the town voted that "all the lands within the bounds of Norwalk, that are at present undivided, shall for future be divided only to such as are the present proper inhabitants of this town." On 9 February 1671, it was voted that "every one of our inhabitants that have not as yet had any estate for their children shall have five pounds for every child now in being; to be added to their father's estate, and this is to take place in the land that is now to be laid out in ye Indian field and not before." Daniel Kellogg had six children in the town list drawn February 1672. The drew his share of the common lands of the town, which made him a large landed proprietor. Jacobus in Families of Old Fairfield, Torrey in New England Marriages Prior to 1700, and Hasheider in Kellogg Family all agree that Daniel Kellogg and Bridget Bouton married in 1655. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, however, says they married in 1665, and assigned the three children born before that date to a previous wife whose name was unknown. Torrey reflects this in saying of the marriage to Bridget "2/wf?" The birth dates of the two eldest children are estimated from a mention by Winthrop in 1661 of "Daniel Kelluck and his wife of Norwalk, and their children John, aged 3, and Sarah, 1-1/2." If Daniel and Bridget did, in fact, marry in 1655 as Jacobus and Torrey say, then Bridget would be the mother of all the Kellogg children, and no previous wife need be hypothesized.58,61,62 Daniel appeared on the census of 4 October 1669 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT: "A true and perfect List of all the Freemen appertaininge unto the plantation of Norwake. Taken this 11th of October, 1669, and to be presented unto the Honored Court assembled ... Daniell Kellogge."65 He died in 1688 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT. The inventory of the estate of Daniel Kellogg is dated 5 December 1688. It mentions children: Sarah, Mary, Rachel, "married away"; Elizabeth, above 20; Daniel, 18 next May; Samuel 15; Lydia, 13 next April; Benjamin and Joseph, twins, 11. Widow Bridget made oath 5 March 1688/1689.	KELLOGG, Daniel (I2818)

6992	From The Magnalia Christi Americana, by Cotton Mather - 1702 Mr. Philip Smith, aged about 50 years, a son of eminently virtuous parents, a deacon of a church in Hadley, a member of the General Court, a justice in the County Court, a selectman for the affairs of the town, a Lieutenant of the troop, and which crowns all, a man for devotion, sanctity, gravity, and all that was honest,exceeding exemplary. Such a man was in the winter of the year 1684, murdered with an hideous witchcraft, that filled all those parts of New England, with atonishment. He was, by his office concerned about relieving the indigences of a wretched woman in the town; who being dissatisfied at some of his just cares about her, expressed herself unto him in such a manner, that he declared himself thenceforth apprehensive of receiving mischief at her hands. Early in January, he began to be very valetudinarious. He shewed such weanedness from the weariness of the world, etc.. While he remained yet of a sound mind, he solemnly charged his brother to look well after him. Be sure (said he) to have a care for me.... There shall be a wonder in Hadley.... In his distress he exclaimed much upon the young woman aforesaid, and others, as being seen by him in the room. Some of the young men in the town being out of their wits at the strange calamities thus upon one of their most beloved neighbors, went three or four times to give disturbance unto the woman thus complained of; and all the while they were disturbing her, he was at ease, and slept as a weary man; yea, these were the only times they perceived him to take any sleep in all his illness. Gally pots of medicine provided for the sick man were unaccountably emptied: audible scratchings were made about the bed, when his hands and feet lay wholly still, and were held by others. They beheld fire sometimes on the bed; and when the beholders began to discourse of it, it vanished away. Divers people actually felt something often stir in the bed, at a considerable distance from the man; it seemed as big as a cat, but they could never grasp it. Several trying to lean on the bed's head, tho' the sick man lay wholly still, the bed would shake so as to knock their heads uncomfortably. Mr. Smith dies; the jury that viewed his corpse found a swelling on one breast, his back full of bruises, and several holes that seemed made with awls. After the opinion of all had pronounced him dead, his countenance continued as lively as if he had been alive; his eyes closed as in a slumber, and his nether jaw not falling down. Thus he remained from Saturday morning about sunrise, till Sabbathday in the aftenoon. When those who took him out of the bed, found him still warm, tho' the known in any age; and a New England winter does not want for cold. But on Monday morning they found the face extremely tumified and discolored. It was black and blue, and fresh blood seemed running down his cheek upon the hairs. Divers noises were also heard in the room where the corpse lay; as the clattering of chairs and stools, whereof no account could be given. This was the end of so good a man. Mary Webster, the woman who disturbed Philip Smith, was sent to Boston, tried for witchcraft, and acquitted. The young men of Hadley tried an experiment upon her. They dragged her out of the house, hung her up until she was near dead, let her down, rolled her some time in the snow, and at last buried her in it, and there left her. But she survived, and died in 1696. No inhabitant of Hampshire Co. was ever executed for witchcraft.	SMITH, Lieut. Lieut. Phillip (I2452)

6998	G. E. Brockman Dies Suddenly Death Came Thursday Morning After Brief Illness - Funeral Services Sunday One of the Pioneers of Martin County - Postmaster Here for 23 Years Death is no respector of circumstance and though ever present among us we give but little heed to its encircling shadows until suddenly the grim messenger calls, and life-long associations are severed, the family hearthstone is shrouded in grief, and friens and neighbors mourn the passing of one who has given his best endeavers and unstinted attentions to the duties of home and the obligations of citizenship. Seldom does it become our painful duty to chronicle the death of one whose home ties, business associations and every day life were more closely entwined with the affairs of his home people than of George E. Brockman. With us so short a time ago, it is hard to realize that he has passed between the portals of that unknown here-after, and his death drew a mantle of gloom about the entire community, for all knew and respected him. And there is little that can be said to assuage the grief of the loved ones who mourn his demise. Deceased was taken suddenly ill about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning with a severe attack of bowel trouble and the shock was so great that he never survived and passed away at 1:30 Thursday morning, which occurred on the 35th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Brockman's wedding. Funeral services were conducted from the Swedish Mission church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. H. Hugh Gower, pastor of the M. E. church officiating. The services were in charge of the local Masonic lodge, of which the deceased was a charter member. Interment was made in Elm Creek cemetery. The many and beautiful floral offerings and large attendance at the funeral showed the esteem in which Mr. Brockman was held by the people of this community. The passing of Mr. Brockman takes away one of the most popular characters of the county who has played a part of all its life and development, and marks the passing of another of the early pioneers of the county. George E. Brockman was born June 1, 1865 at Stanton, Minn., one of a large family, and came to martin county when a small boy, where he lived with his parents on a farm in Rutland township in the early 60's and frew up in that community, and has lived in this county most of his life. On Feb. 10th, 1892 he was united in marriage to Miss Josie Swearingen and to this union was born two sons, Paul and Frederick. On Aug. 1, 1902 they moved to Triumph where Mr. Brockman secured employment on the Triumph Progress, which position he held until he was appointed Postmaster on Dec. 2, 1903, and faithfully served in that capacity until the time of his death. Deceased was a charter member of the K. P. Workman and Woodman lodges of Fairmont and of Tri-Mont Masonic lodge No. 315 of Triumph. During the World War he was very active in all phases of the work and was a member of the Martin County War Board. He took an active part in the sale of Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps and Red Cross work. Mr. Brockman is survived by his devoted wife; two sons, Paul of Windom and Frederick of St. Paul; a daughter-in-law, Mrs Paul Brockman; two grandchildren, Marion and Paul Brockman; three half-brothers, F. F. Fritz of New Blaine, Ark., C. E. Brockman of Welcome amd W. D. Brockman of California, also a half sister, Mrs. Eliza Boler of California. Out-of-town relatives that attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Brockman and son Carroll and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brockman of Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Winfred Brockman of Fox Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Brockman of Winnebago, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Anderson of East Chain, Sidney Brockman of Fairmont and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Schultz of Fairfax.	BROCKMAN, George E. (I19611)
6999	Garden Grove, located on Pottawattamie [Sac and Fox] land on the eastern bank of the Weldon Fork of the Grand River, was the first permanent settlement that served as a Mormon way-station from 1846 to 1852. Cabins which were supplied with well water served as a resting place for those who were unable to continue on westward. When the families were able to continue their journey, the cabin and surrounding grounds and fields served the next family to arrive from Nauvoo, Illinois during their westward journey.
