Randolph was the Virginia, or pro-slavery, party's choice for Congress in 1809, but he was defeated by Jonathan Jennings in the election for Territorial Representative by thirty-nine votes. Randolph contested the election, but his appeal was denied by the election committee.

  • Warrick County and the Northwest Territory by WILLIAML
    Warrick County and the Northwest Territory By WILLIAML. BARKER,Boonville I have taken some time to look over the old Warrick county records of 1813 to 1823 and cull the names of the men who were prominent in local affairs when the jurisdiction of our courts extended from the Wabash to the Blue river. An old abstract office accumulates quite a bit of historical junk, and it is a piece picked up here and another there that I am offering today. A Japanese writer in the Saturday Evening Post began his article by saying, “History is a romance on a big scale. The story of Abraham Lincoln will never cease to interest the millions in far off lands. It is a unique story, abounding in human interest, only possible in such a vast country as America.” It seems to me that if the teacher and student read history in that spirit it would be an enjoyable play. Ten years before Warrick was cut off from Knox, the first county organized in Indiana Territory, and two years before the government survey, John Sprinkle and his family settled on a beautiful piece of Ohio river front, now in War- rick county. In the month of June, 1807, General W. Johnston, who was a very prominent man in the early history of the territory and state, and known as the “Father of Freemasonry in Indiana,” entered this land, and in the year 1812, John Sprinkle, as the assignee of Johnston, received a patent for it. At the time of Sprinkle’s settlement, June, 1803, it was the site of an Indian village.

ELLIS,of Goshen’ MY father, William Robinson Ellis, was the son of Ezekiel Ellis an officer in the Revolution serving under General Washington, and was born in Windham county, Connecticut, April 6, 1784. His mid- dle name he derived from his mother, Elizabeth Robinson, of whose family I know nothing. He was a man of common school education for that period. Studied medicine, I don’t know where, with Dr. Winter Hewett, a man of some note in his profession, who died in Satavia, Gen sce county, New York. My father practiced his profession awhile in IYindsor, Vermont, afterwards at German Flats, Herkimer county and at Penfield, Ontario county, New York. In 1808 he was married to Hannah Brown, daughter of Capt. Isaac Brown, who commanded a company of drafted men in the War of 1812. His residence was in the town of Locke, Cayuga county, New York. During the IVar of 1812, in addtion to the duties of his profession, my father engaged in merchandise in Penfield, some 10 miles from Rochester, New York, then in the county of Ontario, but since known as Monroe county. On the procldmation of peace in 1815, owing to the great downfall in prices, and the dishonesty of his partners, his financial prospects were ruined, and he was forced to close business and sacrifice all his means. .4t thic place I was born on he 28th day of -4pril. 181.5. -An- other family occupied the upper story of the house, one Erastus Yeomans, to which also came a son on the same date.

    Slave Cases expressed.” The court also awarded Polly $26.12 in costs for her trouble. The decision was the unanimous judgm ent of the three justices who were in effect the founding fathers of the court as an institution: James Scott, Jesse Holman, and Isaac Blackford. Scott, Holman, and Blackford constituted the Indiana Supreme Court from the first year of statehood through the end of 1830, and they are well regarded in the legal community to this day. Scott, who authored the Lasselle opinion, had been a member of the territorial general court and the 1816 constitutional convention, where he played a substantial role in drafting the judicial arti­ cle. Holman studied law with Henry Clay in Lexington, Kentucky, served in the territorial legislature, and later became a United States senator. A graduate of Princeton University, Blackford served as the first speaker of Indiana’s House of Representatives. He served on the Indiana Supreme Court longer than any other person, from 1816 to 1853. We regard him as our John Marshall.

On the cover: The cover of this year’s annual report displays images of the current and former justices of the Indiana Supreme Court. These portraits, most of which are photographs but a few of which are original artist renderings, are displayed in frames integrated into the wood paneling on three of the walls in the Supreme Court Courtroom. Visitors are welcome to tour the historic room. This year, the current five justices (Randall Shepard, Brent Dickson, Frank Sullivan, Jr., Theodore Boehm, and Robert Rucker) became the longest-serving Supreme Court in Indiana’s history, surpassing the mark previously set by Donald Hunter, Roger DeBruler, Richard Givan, Dixon Prentice, and Alfred Pivarnik. Isaac Blackford holds the record for the longest serving individual justice, more than 35 years; the term of William Combs, 30 days, was the shortest.

Most have been microfilmed, and all are available, either in the original, or en microfilm, at either the Lawrenceburg or Aurora Public Library. Each library holds the papers published in its respective town. Wilmington newspapers are at Aurora. Most of the newspapers are also available at the Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, in the newspaper archives division. In abstracting these obituaries, the author vas dismayed by the large number of issues which are missing, especially among the earlier newspapers. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to note that, of the several newspapers published during this time period, enough ratain to construct a fairly ccmplete chronological file. One of the finest aids to newspaper research in Indiana is "Indiana Newspaper Bibliography", by Jdm W. Miller, Indianapolis, The Indiana Historical Society, 1982. This very valuable work lists every newspaper ever published in Indiana, together with locations, dates of publication, and information about the publishers themselves. It was a tremednous help in identifying early Dearborn newspapers, and in verifying that all possible ccpies had been consulted. In general this book contains oily abstracts of cbituaries and coroner's inquests, except for the period prior to March 1826, v*ien all probate notices were also abstracted. This vas done because of the disastrous fire which destroyed the Dearborn County Court House in March 1826.
