Rheuben Courtright Ancestors and Descendants OF RHEUBEN COURTRIGHT Compiled by PARDON AND HARRIETT HEAD 1915 MARsHALL PRINTING CoMPANY M.\RSHALLTOWN, IOWA RHECBE:\" COCRTRIGHT INTRODUCTION Dear Cousins All :- It is with pleasure that we present to you this little book. We have tried to make it a complete record of the grand­ chiidren of Rheuben Courtright, but have not quite reached the mark. We have written many letters, hired work done by a geneaologist, and searched thru the records in the genealogical department of the ·state Library at Des Moines, but still we have not obtained all the information we had hoped to get., We wish to say here, that much credit must be given to Mrs. Josephine Shively of Peoria, Illinois, and Mrs. Enuna Bills of Sterling, Illinois, for help given us; if it had not been for their untiring zeal, we never would have been able to finish this record. Of the twenty-one children of Rheuben Courtright, only three are now living; one never married and four died in infancy. Of the eighty grandchildren, twenty-six are now alive, seven never married, fourteen died young and six never had any children_ We have the record of eight pairs of twins. Rheuben had one, one pair is among the grand­ children, three in the great grandchildren, and three among the great-great grandchildren. We were not able to learn anything authentic in reg·ard to the families of Rheuben Courtright's mother or his father's mother. We found the parents of several Margaret Westfalls and Elizabeth Kools, but, as their connection with the Courtright' s could not be established for a certainty, we did not put them in, as we have nothing in this record we do not consider authentic. We are not perfectly satisfied with the result of our six years' of work on this record, but hope it will please you and that you will prize it more and more as the years pass and remember that each and every one of you will always have a warm place in our hearts for the help you have given us in getting this book ready, as our main object was a selfish one; we wanted it for our own children, great­ great grandchildren of Rheuben Courtright. Yours truly, PARDON HEAD, HARRIETT HEAD. Liscomb, Iowa, October, 1915. ORIGIN In regard to the origin of the name Courtright, Samuel W. Courtright in his book (1907), History of the Courtright Family, claims that they are descended from a Spanish nobleman, Cortez, who was converted to Protestantism under John Calvin, and, on account of the persecutions in Spain, he, with many followers, emigrated to Flanders in Holland and settled on the river Lys, and there they builded a city and named it for their leader, Kortryk, the Dutch ,vay of spelling and pronouncing Cortez. They lived there and prospered for a hundred years or more, then, tiring of the constant warfare on account of their religion, they emi­ grated to the New Harlaam in America. On April 16, 1663, Jan or John Bastiansen Kortregt, his three sons and daughter, with their families, together with his brother Micheal and his family, with others, took pa8- sage in the good ship Brindled Cow, Jan Bergen, master, and set sail for America. Altho an exhaustive search has been made, the connec­ tion between this first immigrant and Jan, the first ancestor of Rheuben that we have, has not been established. In the last years of the eighteenth century the name Kortryk was so far Anglecized as to be spelled Kortright. Not much attention was paid to spelling in those days and we find it written in many different ways. After the Revolution it was changed to Courtright, but all Cortrights, Cutrights, Cartrights and Cartwrights are descended from the original Cortez or Kortryk. HISTORY In Orange County, New York, at one time the Protestant Dutch Reformed Church was powerful in political affairs. Only magistrates of the church could hold office and the Lutherans were not allowed to worship or even baptize their infants. The ancestors of Rheuben Courtright evidently lived in this county, as the names of three children of Jan are found in the list of baptisms of the Kingston Reformed Church. The Kingston church was organized under the name of the town of Orange, October 24, 1694. The center of the tract or township ,vas Tappan, where a Glebe for the support of the minister was laid out. The Minissink-Machackmack church, where the baptisms of the next generation are found, was established in 1737, near an Indian burying ground in what is now Port Jervis, New York. All that valley from Kingston, New York, to Warren, New Jersey, was called Minissink, the name being given it by the early Dutch traders, and it was occupied by the Indian tribe Minis, and composed the land drained by the upper waters of the Delaware. The first white settler in the tract was William Teitsoort, his deed being dated April 10, 1708. He was a blacksmith and was welcomed by the Indians. Later the ,vhites were harassed, because, as other early settlers did, they took advantage of the Indians when they bought the land. They were to have as much land as a man could walk around in a day, but he ran instead of walked; then the whites caused the Indians to become intoxicated and they did not pay the full price agreed upon. SOLDIERS None of the descendents of Rheuben Courtright now living know whether or not any of his ancestors served ni the Revolution,(and as the records of New Jersey were burned at the sacking of Washington in the War of 1812, such information will never be obtainable) ~ Of the descendants of Rheuben Courtright, one son, six grandsons, one son-in-law and four grandsons-in-law served in the Civil War on the Northern side and one son on the side of the South. The son who served the South was Isaac Bedell Court­ right (No. 21), having married a Southern woman and living in South Carolina. Not knovving how to learn the particulars of his service, we cannot tell anything of it. Little is known of him after he left Sterling, Illinois, in the early '60s, but it is thot he is buried at Jacksonville, Florida. Of those on the Northern side, the son Samuel (No. 31), served but a short time, as he gave his life for his country. He enlisted September 3, 1862, at Newark, New Jersey, in Co. A, 27th N. J. Inf., and died in Emory Hospital, Wash­ ington, D. C., November 17, 1862, and is buried in Arlington cemetery. The son-in-la,v was William Howard (No. 37). He served four years and five months as Corp. of Co. G, 39th Ills. Inf. and as flag bearer; being wounded twice, once ve1~y severely, but escaped many times, although the men at his side received the bullet aimed at him. Of the grandsons, four were the sons of Phoebe (No. 20), one of Catherine (No. 22), and one of Jane (No. 24). Of the grandsons-in-law, one was Phoebe's, two Jane's and one Margaret's (No. 26) . Phoebe Courtright Decker's four sons were: James Rheuben (No. 41), Peter (No. 44), Joshua (No. 45), and George M. (No. 46), and the son-in-law was Wesson Wilbur (No. 48). Peter was the only one who lost his life, being wounded at Dutch Gap; he died at Fort Monroe, October 19, 1864. Peter and his brother Joshua were privates in Co. H, 96th N. Y., and enrolled January 1, 1864. Joshua was mustered out at City Point, Virginia, February 6, 1866. George M. Decker was in the 109th N.Y., enlisting in August, 1862, serving two years and eleven months. James Rheuben SOLDIERS 9 was in Co. K, 179th N. Y. The son-in-law, \Vesson Wilbur, was in Co. C, 14th N. Y. Heavy Artillery. Catherine Courtright Woolley's son, Miles T. Woolley (No. 57), and Jane Courtright Siddles' son-in-law, Warren Young (No. 63), were in the same company, the latter enlist­ ing in August and the former in September, 1862 in Co. C, 75th Ills. Inf. Warren Young was killed in January, 1863, and Miles T. Woolley was wounded in November, 1862, in the left forearm and received an honorable discharge. Jane Courtright Siddle's son James (No. 61) and son-in­ law, Jabez W. Todd (No. 66) were together all thru the war in Co. K, 15th Ills. Inf. They enlisted at Mt. Carroll, Ills., April 27, 1861, and were mustered into service the following month at Freeport, Ills. They were under General Grant and were in seventeen battles, among them being Shiloh, Fort Donaldson, Vicksburg and the Siege of Jackson, Mississippi. Their captain was Adam Nase and commander Thomas J. Turner. They served their full time, three years, and were honorably discharged June 14, 1864. Margaret Courtright Woolley's son-in-law, Jacob Ernst (No. 79) , was also in the service, but ,ve were not able to get any of his record. EXPLANATIONS Each person has a number.

  • The Rubber Industry in New Jersey
    CHAPTER 4 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. THE RUBBER INDUSTRY IN NEW JERSEY The implantation and development of the pioneering rubber industry in the United States is clearly marked by three stages, in each of which a specific geographical area is the protagonist. The first indus- trial applications took place in Boston and adjacent towns, particularly for its well-established footwear industry, between 1825 and 1840. In a second phase, approximately between 1850 and 1890, the hege- mony of the sector moved to the state of New Jersey with epicenters located in Trenton and New Brunswick. In this phase, an extensive array of new industrial rubber-derived products was produced, which included solid tires for bicycles and wagons. Towards the end of the century, with the emergence of motor vehicles, a third stage materialized, in which the tire industry and other components of auto- mobile mechanics (belts, gaskets, brake pads, etc.) were developed. During the first three decades of 1900, the city of Akron and surrounding areas in the state of Ohio were the clear leaders in this new industrial adventure. 1. From the Amazon jungle to Boston The milky liquid or latex obtained from bleeding the trunks of Hevea brasilensis—a tree typical of Ama- zonian forests in Brazil—and converted by coagulation into solid rubber, was not sent from this South American country to foreign markets in this form, but rather as locally manufactured products such as bottles or footwear.

  • Rachel Hayes Rubber Rampage
    1 Rachel Hayes Rubber Rampage: The Era that Produced Vulcanized Rubber November 21, 2013 Fall 2013 Kansas State University History of the United States to 1877 HIST 251 Dr. Morgan Morgan Abstract: Rubber, a waterproof gum, was demanded by many in the early 1830’s. While useful as a waterproof, elastic fabric in its flexible state which is at room temperature, the rubber froze in the winter and turned sticky in the summer. During this era, many knew that whoever discovered the stable state would gain an abundant fortune. This is what Charles Goodyear achieved in 1839 by adding sulfur to the natural rubber; this process is now known as vulcanization. This scientific breakthrough revolutionized the automobile industry. Society had been using the iron wheel since 1000 BC which was an extremely rickety trail ride. The newly stabilized rubber absorbed the shock from the imperfections in the road in the form of a tire; thus, creating a more stable ride. This heighted the urge for the public to create gas powered vehicles. Everything about the discovery of rubber and vulcanization drove the automobile industry into the astounding business that it currently is. Key Words: Rubber, Vulcanization, Charles Goodyear, Tires, Automobiles 2 Vulcanized rubber heightened the urge to create human powered and gasoline powered vehicles. The rubber tires absorb the shock from imperfections in the road; wooden wheels cannot do this, which, in turn, creates more momentum for the vehicle with rubber tires because miniscule flaws do not slow it down. As a mechanical engineering major, I am interested in the vulcanization process which led to the use of rubber tires instead of wooden wheels.

  • Naming the Goodyear Blimp: Corporate Iconography<Sup>1</Sup>
    Naming the Goodyear Blimp: Corporate Iconographyl Christine De Vinne Ursuline College Attentive to names as corporate markers, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, in 2006 offered consumers an unprecedented opportunity to name its newest airship. The company's "Name the Blimp" contest, which ran in two month-long segments, elicited over 21 ,000 entries, including the winning "Spirit of Innovation." In the context of Goodyear history, I analyze the contest' design and results, especially its strategies for maximizing both corporate and consumer satisfaction, as a demonstration of the power of names to market image and promote customer loyalty. In 2006, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, sponsored a national contest to name its latest airship. From 21,300 entries, the corporation selected ten finalists, which it then submitted to public vote on its website, nametheblimp.com. The winner, announced in May 2006 to media fanfare, declared the new blimp the Spirit of Innovation. The ship was hailed in a christening ceremony attended by 1,500 people on 21 June, its official name emblazoned on the flank of its car. Goodyear, which maintains its fleet solely for marketing purposes, recognizes in this first-of-a-kind contest a resounding consumer relations success, a strong return on its publicity investment, and a conviction that the winning entry aptly conveys the firm's capacity for product leader- ship. The contest is equally apt as illustration of the significance of names in a corporate context. Goodyear's historical attention to names and naming rituals, the popular response to its "Name the Blimp" invitation, and the oversight that guaranteed a winner consonant with corporate expectations point beyond the specifics of the contest to the theoretical underpinnings of name-based advertising.

  • Rubber Vulcanization (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Rubber Vulcanization (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Vulcanization is a chemical process for converting natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials by the addition of sulfur or other equivalent curatives or accelerators. These additives modify the polymer by forming cross-links (bridges) between individual polymer chains. Vulcanized materials are less sticky and have superior mechanical properties. The term vulcanized fiber refers to cellulose that has been treated in a zinc chloride solution to cross-link the cellulose fibers. Although curing of rubber has been carried out since prehistoric times, the modern process of vulcanization, named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, was not developed until the 19th century, mainly by Charles Goodyear. Today, a vast array of products are made with vulcanized rubber, including tires, shoe soles, hoses, and conveyor belts. Hard vulcanized rubber is sometimes sold under the brand name Ebonite or the genericized former brand term "vulcanite", and is used in making articles such as clarinet and saxophone mouth pieces, bowling balls, and hockey pucks. HISTORY Charles Goodyear was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Amasa Goodyear, and the oldest of six children. In 1814, Charles left his home and went to Philadelphia to learn the hardware business. He worked industriously until he was twenty-one years old, and then, returning to Connecticut, entered into partnership in his father’s business in Naugatuck, CT where they manufactured not only ivory and metal buttons, but also a variety of agricultural implements. On August 3, 1824 he married Clarissa Beecher. Two years later the family moved to Philadelphia, and there Charles Goodyear opened a hardware store.

PATENTS—PERPETUAL INJUNCTION—SENDING CASE TO JURY—WHO ENTITLED TO PATENT—REDUCING SPECULATION TO PRACTICE. 1. Where a court of equity, having heard a case on full proofs, is well satisfied of the originality of an invention, the regularity of a patent, and of the fact of infringement, it will not send the case to a jury to have its verdict prior to granting a perpetual injunction. It will grant it at once, especially if the questions in the case, though questions of fact, are of that kind that a court can decide them on the testimony of men of science, as well as, or better than a jury; and where a jury trial would be long, costly or troublesome. [Cited in Buchanan v. Howland, Case No. 2,074; Roberts v. Reed Torpedo Co., Id. 11,910; McMillin v. Barclay, Id. 8902; Wise v. Grand Ave. Ry. Co., 33 Fed. 278.] 1 GOODYEAR v. DAY. 2. It is not necessary for the protection of a, patent, that the patentee should be the first person, who conceived the practicability or existence of the thing patented, but who, though making important experiments, was unable to bring them to any successful or valuable result. He who reduces speculation to practice, whose experiments result in discovery, and who then afterwards first puts the public into practical and useful possession of the compound, art, machine or product, is enti- tled to the patent right.
