Harriet Wilson Letter Janfinal
1 Ohio, Hamilton County Reply of H. N. Wilson1 of College Hill, Ohio to the UGRR Circular College Hill, April 14, 1892 Mr. Siebert, I enclose my hastily prepared paper which has been done under many interruptions. I should copy it but there is dangerous illness in the family nearest me so that I can not take the necessary time today and trust you will pardon the crude way in which it is sent to you. You may care to use any of the material--if so all right. Do just what you think best in the matter. I presume you have the “Reminiscences of Levi Coffin” who was the pioneer as well as the foundation of the UGRR in Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana. “Uncle Levi”2 and “Aunt Katie”3 should indeed be “patron saints” of the colored people. I knew them both quite well and you may rely on his statement as “gospel truth.” Speaking of my brother, J.G. Wilson4 at Farmers’ College5, Murat Halstead6 was a student here at that time but from his early training and surroundings was not in the work of the Underground R.R. I think Oliver W. Nixon7, now of Chicago, was one of the young Quakers mentioned. Most of the active ones at that time are dead. Our present President Harrison8 was also here at that time. If you have any special questions and I can answer them, I will do so if you so desire. I met Mrs. Downs in the city yesterday P.M., whom I do not know, but she made herself known to me and told me that you wished for some information etc. -
Chapter 13 People and Places Isaac Betts1: the Centerpiece of The
Chapter 13 People and Places Isaac Betts1: The centerpiece of the Betts-Longworth Historic District, formed in 1982, is the Betts house - now restored and open to the public as the Betts House Research Center. The two-story Federal style house was built by the Revolutionary War veteran William Betts and his wife Phebe Stevens Betts. They moved in 1790 from Rahway, New Jersey to Brownsville, Pennsylvania and then by flatboat to Cincinnati in 1800 bringing their seven children and elderly parents. Settling first in Lebanon on land purchased from John Cleves Symmes, the deed proved faulty and their money was refunded, enabling Betts to return to Cincinnati in 1802. Betts here established a brick factory. The oldest brick building on its original site in Cincinnati, the Betts homestead was built in 1804 at 416 Clark Street on land William Betts obtained as repayment of a debt owed to him by Joel Williams, a tavern keeper. Betts purchased 111 acres from Williams for $1,665. Joel Williams, who had come with Israel Ludlow from New Jersey to survey and plat what later became Cincinnati, obtained large tracts of land from the first land lottery. The West End area was flat and grassy, thus the nickname of “little Texas.” Outside of the boundaries of Cincinnati, it was an early neighborhood to be developed beyond the central business district. Some of the adjoining land was owned by Nicholas Longworth. Betts was a brick maker, using the easily obtainable local clay; he also operated part of his land as a farm since brick making was a seasonal business. -

INFORMATION TO USERS Tliis reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us tor microfilming. While the most advanced technology lias been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "targ et" fo r pages apparently lacking from the docum ent photographed is "Missing Paget s.)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure com plete c o n tin u ity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map. drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -

Chapter 8 Samuel Wilson Samuel Wilson1 and his wife Sally Nesmith were descendants of the Pilgrims who settled in 1719 in Londonderry, New Hampshire. After thirteen years of farming, operating a sawmill and working flax in the winter, the family decided to move from the poor soil and long winters of New Hampshire to that of Cincinnati at the urging of their father’s brother, David. He told them of the fertile land and mild climate and offered his assistance once they arrived. David built the first brick house in Cincinnati and owned the first carriage. Sally N. Wilson wrote in her diary; “...I think we had about $1,100 with which to start west and this had dwindled to $800 before we were again settled in Ohio. The friends and relatives left behind looked upon our removal as suicidal. The impression of old and young was that Ohio was beyond civilization.” They moved to Cincinnati in 1828. It took 50 days to make the trip, traveling by 2 two-horse wagons to Troy, New York, going by canal to Buffalo, New York. Then a steamer took them to Dunkirk. At Jamestown they had a flatboat built, 40 feet long for $40. It held all of their goods as well as a crop of hops belonging to their uncle, John Wilson. At Pittsburgh the flatboat was sold and they boarded the steamer Talisman for Cincinnati. From the diary; “We had deck passage, cooking for ourselves and sleeping on the floor…” They first settled in Columbia. The boys cut wood, Samuel building them a house and farming, Sally sewing for “.. -
