Page 100 .Introduction More than a century and a quarter has passed since Ohio County was formed. Its pioneers have come and gone, and so have the sons of ·its pioneers. In many counties most of the local traditions-the so-called old traditions-now heard have undergone changes from generation to generation until the originals have become almost hopelessly lost in fabrications. Such, however, is less frequently the case in Ohio County, for Harrison D. Taylor, a pioneer and the son of a pioneer, wrote and published his own recollections and those of other early settlers from whom he gathered first-hand information. Mr. Taylor was born in 1802. He came with his parents to Ohio County in his infancy and lived there until his death in 1889. From early childhood he mingled with the pioneers and heard their fireside stories. As the years rolled on, his interest in pioneers and olden times continued. He sought contact with men and women who, like himself, had participated in the making of early history. At the age of about fifty-five he wrote his recollections. He was a lawyer and was qualified to prepare them for print. In 1857 he published a series of Ohio County sketches in the Shield, a newspaper of Owensboro, and twenty years later-from April 18, 1877, to March 27, 1878-he republished them, with a few additional chapters, in the Hartford Herald. Selections from these sketches constitute the first part of this volume. His granddaughter Mrs. Mary Taylor Logan has gone over his various chapters for the purpose of presenting them in book form. Mr. Taylor refers to his loosely connected articles as "fragmentary history." They, however, are fragmentary only in that he wrote on subjects as they occurred to him, with little effort to present them in chronological sequence. Mrs. Logan has omitted his digressions into moral and political discussion. What has been selected for publication in this volume has been edited chiefly for the purpose of linking together the subjects and presenting them under selected headings. By such rearrangement an interesting history of Ohio County in the olden days has been produced. It is Mr. Taylor's story of his times and contemporaries from the days of the firstcomers down to about 1857, with a fe,v fragments extending down to 1877. Incidentally it includes his autobiographical notes, likewise a brief history of the Taylor family, one of the oldest and largest families in Ohio County. The appendices and the footnotes that have been added contain many it~ms with which Mr. Taylor, in all probability, ~as familiar, but which he did not embody in his newspaper sketches. It is likely, however, that he would have included some of them had he rearranged his chapters for pu_blication in book form. During the course of the footnotes I cite every book, pamphlet, and manuscript bearing on Ohio County history known to me, and in the appendices quote some of the material heretofore published by other writers and call attention to. the whereabouts of additional data in print. This volume is Mrs. Logan's monument to her grandfather. It is a labor of love. No one could have been better ·qualified to prepare these sketches for publication in book form than she. Her parents died when she was a small child, and thereafter she made her home with her grandfather. From early girlhood on through the years that followed she heard her grandfather tell and retell these stories. It is to her fatherly grandfather· that she dedicates this monument-a monument for the interest and instruction of the present and the many generations yet to come. OTTO A. ROTHERT Louisville, Kentucky July 20, I 926 From an oil painting, about 1845 MRS. MARY DAVIS (HARRISON D.) TAYLOR I EVIDENCES OF PREHISTORIC PEOPLE AND EARLY PIONEERS The author of the following fragments of Ohio County's early history gave a partial promise to the editor of the Shield,* of Owensboro, who announced the fact through his paper, thus committing both of us to the public; else this task might never have been undertaken. After the inspection of the material left for the writing of a local history, we find that not a single pioneer or early settler is now living. Owing to the fact that Ohio County was first a part of Jefferson County which was formed in 1780, then a part of Nelson formed in 1784, and then a part of Hardin formed in 1792, it has no county records of its own until in July, 1799, when its official_ records as a county begin, the county having been formed by an act of legislature approved on Dece~ber 17, 1798, and to_ take effect on July 1, 1799. Like most of Kentucky and the other western countries, Ohio County has traces of having been settled by a different race of people at a day long prior to the advent of Europeans. Flints, arrowheads, hatchets, pestles, and other implements made of stone, also fragments of curious pottery, were numerous many years ago. In fact these flint arrowheads served our early settlers a valuable purpose, being the principal means of supplying the old-fashioned firelocks with flints. Mounds containing human bones were quite common. On many of these mounds the timber was as large as any in the adjoining forest. Some years ago, while leveeing up a road near the banks of Muddy Creek, at the bottom of the ditches, which were some two feet or more deep, charcoal and ashes were found for the space of one or two ·hundred yards. These evidently showed that this place had been a favorite camping ground where some savage tribe had once probably hunted and fished, but how long ago none can tell. The late Robert Render, Sr., a gentleman well-known and highly esteemed for his many virtues, used to relate finding a mound or grave near Green River, in which were bones of an enormous size: a *The Shield was published in Owensboro. "During the Know-Nothing excite­ ment in 1856 the National American was started in Owensboro by Joshua G. Ford, proprietor, and George H. Yeaman, editor. The first number was d·ated August 6, 1856. A. G. Botts succeeded Mr. Yeaman as editor and Colonel John H. McHenry was next, in 1857-58. About this time Mr. Ford changed the name to Ohio County in the Olden Days human leg bone which, when stood on the floor beside his leg, when sitting down, would reach to the top of his knee, and a jaw bone which would fit loosely over his under jaw. Mr. Render was a man con­ siderably over medium height, measuring over six feet and having large bones and face. It is estimated that the old bones belonged to a human one-third larger than Mr. Render, w-ho ranked among the largest men in this country. It is now a subject of regret that this grave had not been thoroughly examined by scientific men, and a full skeleton procured of this semi-giant race. Nothing like fortifications have ever been found in this section. The mounds, so far examined, all contained bones. The early pioneer, and Indian fighter, perhaps strode over these humble depositories of the dead without care or reflection, or perhaps with a feeling of triumph. But it was not so with the sensitive settler when rambling through the forest in after years. It would be difficult to imagine the strange feelings that would spring up in his mind when one of these mounds obstructed his way. With a thrill of supersti­ tious awe and reverence for the dead he would turn his steps aside, and, no longer "whistling for want of thought," strange vagaries and inquiries would arise in his mind.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMEXXV DECEMBER, 1929 NUMBER4 The Burr Conspiracy In Indiana* By ISAACJ. Cox Indiana in the days of the Burr Conspiracy embraced a much larger area than today-at least technically. It extend- ed westward from the boundary of the recently-created state of Ohio to the Mississippi. The white settlements within this area were, it is true, few and scattering. The occasional clearings within the forests were almost wholly occupied by Indians slowly receding before the advance of a civilization that was too powerful for them. But sparse as was the popu- lation of the frontier territory when first created, its infini- tesimal average per square mile had been greatly lowered in 1804, for Congress had bestowed upon its governor the ad- ministration of that part of Louisiana that lay above the thirty-third parallel. As thus constituted, it was a region of boundless aspira- tions-a fitting stage for two distinguished travelers who journeyed through it the following year. Within its extended confines near the mouth of the Ohio lay Fort Massac, where in June, '1805, Burr held his mysterious interview with Wilkinson,' and also the cluster of French settlements from which William Morrison, the year before, had attempted to open trading relations with Santa Fe2-a project in which Wilkinson was to follow him. It was here that Willrinson, the second of this sinister pair, received from his predecessor a letter warning him against political factions in his new juris- diction.a By this act Governor Harrison emphasized not only his own personal experiences, but also the essential connection of the area with Hoosierdom.

  • 1 Failed Filibusters: the Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy And
    Failed Filibusters: The Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy and Early American Expansion Francis D. Cogliano In January 1803 the Congressional committee which considered the appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase observed baldly, “it must be seen that the possession of New Orleans and the Floridas will not only be required for the convenience of the United States, but will be demanded by their most imperious necessities.”1 The United States claimed that West Florida, which stretched south of the 31st parallel from the Mississippi River in the west to the Apalachicola River in the east (roughly the modern state of Louisiana east of the Mississippi, and the Gulf coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, and the western portion of the Florida panhandle) was included in the Louisiana Purchase, a claim denied by the Spanish. The American claim was spurious but the intent behind it was clear. The United States desired control of West Florida so that the residents of the Mississippi Territory could have access to the Gulf of Mexico. Since the American Revolution the region had been settled by Spaniards, French creoles and Anglo-American loyalists. Beginning in the 1790s thousands of emigrants from the United States migrated to the territory, attracted by a generous system of Spanish land grants. An 1803 American government report described the population around Baton Rouge as “composed partly of Acadians, a very few French, and great majority of Americans.” During the first decade of the nineteenth century West Florida became increasingly unstable. In addition to lawful migrants, the region attracted lawless adventurers, including deserters from the United States army and navy, many of whom fled from the nearby territories of Louisiana and Mississippi.2 1 Annals of Congress, 7th Cong.

  • The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian the SETTING Tippecanoe County, Locate
    The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian THE SETTING Tippecanoe County, located in west-central Indiana, is about 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis and 100 miles southeast of Chicago. Tippecanoe County is 21 miles east to west and 24 miles north to south and Lafayette, the county seat, is situated on the banks of the Wabash nearly in the center. About one-half the surface consists of broad, fertile, and nearly level plains. The balance consists of gently rolling uplands, steep hillsides or rich alluvial bottoms. Occasional wetlands or bogs are found but those were largely drained by the beginning of the 20th century. The Wabash River flows nearly through the middle of Tippecanoe County from northeast to southwest. Tributaries to the Wabash River that drain the north and west parts of Tippecanoe County are the Tippecanoe River, Burnett Creek, Indian Creek, and Little Pine Creek. Draining the south and east parts of the county are Sugar Creek, Buck Creek, North, South and Middle Forks of the Wildcat Creek, Wea Creek, and Flint Creek. Besides Lafayette, cities and towns in Tippecanoe County are West Lafayette, the home of Purdue University, Battle Ground, West Point, Otterbein, Dayton, Clarks Hill, Romney, Stockwell, Americus, Colburn & Buck Creek. In 2010 county population was set at 172,780 PREHISTORIC TIPPECANOE COUNTY The terrain, the Wabash River, and the creeks you see today in Tippecanoe County came to their present condition about 10,000 years ago as the last continental glacier retreated northward leaving a vastly different landscape than what had existed before the advance of the ice sheets began over 700,000 years ago.
