JULIANA WHITE CHAPTER D.A.R. JULIANA WHITE DAUGHTER OF CHARLES WHITE, A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER, WAS BORN FEBRUARY 7, 1815. MARRIED TO ABRAHAM FRESHOUR, OCTOBER 31, 1839 AND DIED 8, 1907 GREENFIELD, OHIO 1 In one of the many family histories consulted in compiling this book, the compiler found these words: “The History of the World in the last analysis Is but the history of the individual --- When All is said and done we must look for the first causes in man himself.” Therefore while this book is written principally to aid others in their work, we cannot refrain from adding personal touches to the recording of these pioneers. In this same history from which I have quoted they have divided an opening chapter into, “Why They Came, The Place to Which They Came and When They Came.” The answers to these questions all have a great bearing on the genealogy. Some were adventurers seeking a new world, but many of our forebears came because of religious persecution – seeking freedom. The most of those recorded here came first either to Philadelphia, Pa. or to Jamestown, Virginia, a great many settling in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. After the Revolutionary War, many received land grants in Ohio. Some did not care to live in a slave State and others hearing of the fertile lands in Ohio and Kentucky came in the pioneer way to establish new homes. Let us not think of them as a gateway to D.A.R., but as real people who bore the hardships and dangers that we might live in a land of peace and plenty. “Ah daughters brave and strong and real, Ah sons of days long past, The glow of altar fires you watched Down all the years is cast. And we shall pray on bended knees To keep the light aglow, That burned to Freedom, Love and God, On hearthstones long ago.” The above lines were taken from a poem written by Mrs. Charles Kerns, Hillsboro, Ohio. 2 Sketches of the following are contained in this book: JOSEPH ARNOLD ........................................................................................................................................... 6 THOMAS BAGWELL ....................................................................................................................................... 7 JOHN BEATTY ................................................................................................................................................ 8 WILLIAM BELL ............................................................................................................................................. 10 CHRISTOPHER BITTENBENDER .................................................................................................................... 11 ZEPHANIAH BRYAN ..................................................................................................................................... 12 LIEUT.
