·5 TO MY MOTHER GRACE CABOT BLOOD TOLER, D~ A. R. NATIONAL· ME~1BER 145273, THROCGH WHOSE INTEREST AND EFFORT THE FACTS FOR THIS FA MIL Y HISTORY WERE GATHERED. MY FIRST ILLINOIS ANCESTOR
HIS STORY of my first Illinois ancestor goes back tor rour gE:neratil.)ns. }larvin Pow~rs Blood, the ancestor of whont I write, \Vas one of my great-grandfathers T on the maternal side. He was born in Berrnington, \·ern1ont, c,nJanuary 8. 1793. He was the son of *Horace Blood, who was born in \\"indsor County, Vermont, in 1746 and died there in 1851, after ha \"i.ng attained the ripe old age of one h :1nt1red and fi\·e years. The said Horace Blood fought In the. \\"ar of Re,~o(ution. Though he '\\ras only eighteen years old when the War of 1s 12· came on. the boy 1\-,larYin fought for his country. Family history claims he was made a n1ajor. At any rate he was call- ed •·~Jajor'' by his friends and neighbors and my gTandfather told many times of playing with the epaulettes from his father's uaiform. In 1815 Marvin Powers Blood married Martha Cabot, daughter of Francis Cabot of Windsor County, Vermont. Fran cis Cabot \\·as also a Revolutionary soldier - an ensign in Cap tain Theodore Bliss's regiment. He was a descendant of John Cabot, the Discoverer, and he named one of his sons '•Sebas• tian." !\-1:artha Cabot at the time of her man·iage to Marvm Po,\rers Blood, was t"\\·enty years of age, having been born on .April 5. 1795. This couple became the pa.rents of nine children. Their first child \\.ras born in \ 7 ermont. All of the other children were born in Rushford, Allegany County, New York. In the summer of 1837 Marvin Powers Blood and Samuel Hix built at Olean Point9 New York, two flat boats. Samuel Hix was another great-grandfather of minet on the maternal side. He was the son of Stephen Hix (Hicks), another !=;Oldier of the Revolutionary War whose official record • See notation at end of Essay. we ha ,-e.

San1uel Hix and in the upper 1·ight hand corner is written upaid. 37 1-3'·, mean ing that the charge on the letter wag thirty-seven and a third cents. The handwi·iting resen1b]es old English script. Along with the letter were found two handpainted valentines with queer pictures and queerer ,·erses 011 them. One of these pictures a 0 British Red Coat" and the color of his coat is still a vh·ld red. Samuel, though only se\·enteen years old at that time, tougbt in the Battle of Sackets Harbor in the war of 181.2, the family haviug moved to Jefferson County, New "'rork, from Boston, l\Iassachusetts. His mother·s name -uras Han nah Goff Hix. In the fall of 1837, '\.vith Major Blood in command of one flat boat and Samuel Hi" the other, these two men ,vith their fantilies aud the families of several friends and neigh .. hors started down the Allegany rh·er on a long journey to the '1.r est. They slo,vly wended their way down the Allegany to Pittsburgh, Pa. where this river and the Monongahela meet and form the picturesnue Ohio-then on down the Ohio th rough the locks at Cincinnati and on to Mt. Vernon, In diana, where they landed. On this journey great--grand father brought the first ''cook stove'' to reach this section of the country and it proved to be a great curiosity. Samuel Hix and his family, including Prudence Jane, a little girl of f1\·e years, of ,vhom we tell more later, settied in ~\'lt. \' ernon, ln
u Late one art~rnoon Prudence Jan Hix saw a tall fair lad of about sixteen. who \vas carr~ring all his possessions in a larg<', red ban XOTE:- •Th·L·n-1.1gh genealogical research it has ~,nee been defi nitely established that 1\1:arvir: Powers Blood was the son of .John Blood who ,vas born ln Groton, .l\iass., in l'i59 and died ln "\Vest ~Tindsor, Vermont, September 5. 1848. John Blood's rniddle name may have been Horace or the memory of Sylves,. ter Henry Blood may hav·e been at fault. The said John Blood had a ~on, Horace and the two names may have been confused by Syh·ester Henry who became motherless and left home in his youth. John Blood ·was a soldier in tlle Revolutionary ,var and his military record 1nay be found elsel\·here ln this book. Marvin Blood's military record in the War of 1812-14 has also been proved and is printed on anotheT page. l·J lfILlTARY HI~TORY OF JOI1:\· BLOOD 8,\:" t Gtr)ton, :\Ias:;achuseuts, 1759.

Se\·eral thousand dol lars, were raised in this way and e'\.·ery bond wa~ paid off in due time-. The building was erected· by \\r. Brelsford contractor, but ,vhen the Holida:rs came school was dismiss ed because no adequate heating system had been pro,~ided. Again he presented a plan by which $6,000 was raised in a day and a heating plant installed within a fortnight. \Vhen the Township High School was. organized he wa~ elected on the first board and ser\·ed 011 tl1is board durin~ the first 9 years of the school's operation. In 1918 when a petition had been presented to the county control board. asking that the high school district be dissoh·ed~ on the ground that the petitioners represented the real sentiment of the people, he headed a group demonstration \\rhic:h 011 tht day of the hearing presented to the county control board a counter petition signed by more than a thou~ar.d \·oter~ supporting the high school. The petition to dissolve wa:; denied and the high school saved. With the advent of new ideas in bu...c:.ines.s, he felt the need of new and better display methods and on Sept. 1, 198It he secured a U.

F~uutleroy's School conducted in the old 1''auntleroy H::tme at New Ha!.·mony, Ind., no,,· owned by the Indiana State Federal ion oc ,vomen's Cluhs, ,,ras invaluable. After her mar- 1·ia~e t-: SYLVESTER HE~RY BLOOD (7) August 15, 1852, ~he conducted a prh·ate school in Gra}'Ville. During the years wh~n her -)lder children were developing she kept them under Ler ~upc1·.,.-i~kn ~.nrl n1ost of the time had a cro\vd of her ne !6 hbors' children ah:o under her care. She taught them nuu~~-· of the useful arts which at that time, of necessity, were p1 act iced in the home. '\\Then the house was built it was a one story cottage set in the midst. of a larg'=' plot of ground. As the family grew it ,\·as ~nla!.·ged and a second story was added. There were wir~e- halls both upstairs and down and a winding stairway that h1tri~ued the children. The exterior of the house was painted white and green shutters shaded the windows. Chairs and 'lt benches on the 1•1ide verandas inviting!)· beckoned the weary. The old place held a charm for all who stepped \\·ithin its borders. Its attraction lay, not in the house alone, but in the atmosphere surrounding it. Shrubs were grouped attrac tively. A rose garden flourished and bright annuals and per. ennials bloomed along its borders. Maple, oak and chestnut trees stretched their wide Hmbs and under their shade were comfortable benches. Hammocks swung between the trees. Near the dining room door stood a huge old yellow June apple tree whose gnarled branches formed appealing seats for the nimble climber. Near-by the blush of the red June apples showed between green leaves. Pear trees stood straight and slim. Birds sang in the cherry trees and the fruit of the wild cherry was made into a bitter tonic. Luscious peaches gr~w and ripened-evt:n the Indian pe&ch-so called bec:iuse of its red meat. In August the bees droned in the plum orchard. Small fruits such as currants-both white and red-ra:;pberries blackberries and gooseberries grew at the rear of the house. A great grape arbor stretched its length in a .::traight path to the vegetable garden where flourished rows of peas, beans, beets, potatoes and tomatoes. Along the fence grew rhu barb, spignet. hoarhound, and eleampane. In the flower garden the crocus and the star of Bethlehem delighted eyes long weary of winter barrenness. Violets and lilies of the valley threw their sweet :fragrance on the air. Peonies blushed at the wonder of their own beauty. The snowy arch over the front gate, formed by two immense snowball bushes, was never to be forgotten. The green of the ivy was there and the red of the bleeding heart. The children spent their happiest hours playing amidst this beauty and unde-r the shade of these trees, dreaming dreams and seeing visions of life's work and meaning.. The gnarled roots ma.de partitions between the rooms of their playhouses, and the soft green moss served for luxurious carpets. The acorns formed the cups from which they drank. The loving hands that cared for this profusion of nature's rood and beauty are at rest, but the memory of this home will Deva?' die so Jong as one person who has enjoyed a taste of its hospitality still lives. In her later years Prudence Jane was a Lady Bountiful to those in need. Baskets of delicacies, tniJts- and wines were prepared b'y her and taken by the child.Ten to the sick and the needy. Three generations of the same negro family, tbe Tolli.. vers, served her-.. Ole Lady.. Tolliver, her daughters, Clara and Lou and her granddaughter Louise. They seemed almost a part of the family. "Ole Lady'' was part Indian and al ll:ays wore long strands of brightly colored beads. She was lame and when she walked her voluminous skirts floated a.bout her in billows. "Ole Man" Toliver, a former slave, was black as night and always bowed to the ground when he met a lady in the street. They lived in a little house "across the pas ture and over the hilt'. This same pasture which contains a stream and a beautiful grove of native oak trees, now be longs to the city of Grayville, donated by Mrs. Mary L. Blood. \\"idow of John l\f. Blood as. a memorial to him, and is called the John l\I. Blood Park. The place was a mecca tor relatives and friends. There was seldom a time without guests in the house and during the holi day season they sometimes numbered as high as twenty-five. Prudence Jane and Sylvester Henry lived toget.her for 63 years, 59 years in this home. He died Sept. 15, 1915 and she liv ed on in the old home, cared fo-r by Miss Minnie Peters and visit. ed daily by members of her family, until the morning of June 18, 1917 when she died very suddenly. Beautiful, sweet, pa tient and smiling tr.. the last! She lies burled by the side of her husband in a vault in Oak Grove cemetery, Grayville. The frontispiece of this book is a likeness of this couple taken from an enlargement of a quaint old daguerreotype made on a steamboat on the Ohio river MaTCh 22. 18634 A complete list of the-ir children is given on Page 25.

The history of this family a.q handed from father -to son was to the effect that two brothers, Feath stone by name emigrated from England and entered land south of Albion and about four miles north and a little west of Grayville. One of the brothers had a number of aona and ?'8. Iatel." mov·ed to the state of Indiana. The ~econd b1·other re mained on the lantl entered in Illinois.

Y., a des- cendant of l\.Iartha Corbin (aister of Charity Corbin) "·ho m. Judge Pliny ltloore (see ·page 55) contains the follo\\11ng inter esting paragraph: hI have several thousand letters and papers of Judge Pliny l\.loore (1759 .. 1822), together \Vith hi5 journals and account books. His journal begins in 1 ,f,0 and closes with his death and in it I have found many letters which verify or correct or supply fine genealogical, and historical data. A.mong his let-- ters are many concerning Judge Samuel Hicks. Judge Hicks ,vas an anti-federalist while Judge 1\-loore \itras a staunch fed eralist; this political enmity spread to other things anrl there are constant controversies benveen them, eves into the Presby terian Church, where Judge Hicks was several times tried and excommunica-ted, for selling rum, for passing underweight money, !or traveling on Sundayt and ,vhatnot. He got the post office away from Judge Moore; and seemed to delight in pe3ter ing him. It is really delightful to read the long letters ,vh7ch passed bet"\l\·een them over matters which seem quite ti ivial now; and they lived in the same village, for Sa1nuel I:iicks kept the hotel here, and was postmaster, justice of the peace ( whence "Judge") and custom-house officer. He moved to Champlain from Bennington, Vt., arriving here June 1st, 1798. Judge Moore had settled in Champlain in 1788, coming from Kinder hook, N. Y. Letters indicate that the Corbins were living at Stillwater, N. Y., when J}.fartha: (or Patty,. ·as she signed her- self} married Pliny Moore." It seems quite evident from this that these two brothers-in--law did notr agree very well. 75 Children of Judge Samuel Hicks and Charity Corbin: I. John. II. Harriett. III.

GOL'LD GEXEALOGY l\Iuch research ha~ thus far failed to establish our Gould genealogy. A n1issing generation blocks the \,·ay to a l•Jng line. The link may sometime be found by son1e one of you readers of this family history. At this stage it would seem, though we ha\re no direct proof of this, that: ED\VARD GOULD. b.-about 1750, -..,..:as the father of DANIEL GOULD, b.-about 1783. ,,.. e do know that Ed\vard Gould lived at Ferrisburgh, Y"t., in 1;90 and 1800. His wife \\ras also living at thi5. time. She signed a deerl which is on record and the signature g-iven is "Charity Gold", ~o the name seems to have been spelled both Gould and Gold. . D.ANIEL GOULD, b.-about 1783, lh,.ed at Ferrisburgh, \Tt .. and also at Plattsburgh, N. Y. He was marrierl to Anne \Vright Nov. llt 1806 at l\.ionkton. Vt., by Jnstice of the Peace Dan Stone. Family history tells us that Daniel sailed boats on Lake Champlain and that his v.ife's ma1Tiage dower was $7.000 in gold, with which they bought land on the border of Lake Champlain. He lived at Ferrisburght ,,t., at the tin1e of his marriage. Their daughtPr: LYDIA GOULD, b.-1807 at Plattsburgh, ~- Y., m. SAMUEL HIX (HICKS), b.-Dec. 12. 1794. Rehoboth, !\-lass.

Cabot, a lawyer of Boston, l1ass., \\'as col lecting material for a Cabot Family History. William P. Cabot died before the work \\·as completed. The last letter \\~ritten by him to S. H. Blood was dated ''Janual'y 19. 1873." The letter below is an answer to one written in an etfort to assist Wm. P. Cabot in the con1piling of records. This cGllec tion of letters is no,v in possession of the John M. Blood family. Hartland, Vt., Jan. 28, 1871 !rfr. S. H. Blood, Dear Sir: Yotir le-tter of January 9th is at hand and· at the first opportunity I seat myself to answer it. I am a son of George Cabot, who w.as the oldest son of Francis Cabot, our grandfather. He had· a family of eleven childre-n of which you~ I\.fother ,vas the seventh child. They all married and had fam ilies, and most of them settled in Vt. Our Uncles and Aunts are all dead except those by marriage. There are a lai-ge number of cousins that are settled in this vicinity near the old Homestead. As to your Father"s family I have no recol lection of them, only by hearing others speak of them. Your Grandfather Cabot and Grandf.a.ther Blood both lived and died within a mile of each other. There is living on your Grand f ather Blood's old homestead Aretus B. Blood, a cousin of yours, "·hose P. O. address is Brownsville, Vt. He has a Mother, three sisters, and three brothe1·s living. These are the children of Sylvester Blood, a brother of your Father. As to my Father's family-I was the youngest of eight children. I have two brothers and one sister now living. I live on a fa.rm about a mile from the old Homestead, have- a family of five children, one daughter and four sons. Respectfully yours, GEO. DWIGHT CABOT P.
