Moses was therefore the first author tc do this type of work. Since that time millions of people have engaged in genealogical work. The '■’hint* se are able to run their Dynasities back 4000 to 5000 years. The Emporor cf OapriU car;, it is said, trace his ancestry back 2500 years, European nations being comparatively young, when time i3 taken into consider- a*.; on, cannot go back much more than 1000 years, as Robert Lister Macne ill has ,dcue with the hcITeals of Scotland, until they find themselves into Egypt in Bible times. The Componclium of American Genealogy, —-the. Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of the First Families of America; edited by Hr, Fredrick A. Various and published by The Institute of American Genealogy, 440 3, Dearborn St,, Chicago, Illncis; to which tho author of this work belongs, has the following to say.cn this work in America, "From the first settlement in America, mere than 300 years agG, no attempt has heretofore been rno.de to preserve American genealogical records, except in privately printed, individual family genealogies, or in restricted lists of members of hered¬ ity and patriotic societies. These volumes, new numbering many thousands, are inval¬ uable, Fere, however, is the first attempt ever made to compile a national genealogy designed to take _its place as the recognized standard reference work for the United States, such as are the century-old genealogical works cf countries of the Cld "orId, If this work had been begun two hundred years or even one hundred years ago, the task would have been comparatively a simple cnc , In 1790, the population of the U. 3. was about 3,929,214, and at tlia ratio prevailing at that time of aboixt six persons to the family, there was about 654,369 families, practically every one of which was of Colonial or Revolution' ry ancestry, -and therefore potentially First Families of America. In 1930, athe continental population was 122,6SS,190, and at the present radio of 4.3 persons tc-a family, there are about 28,534,460 families in tho II. 3. The enormous increase in population between the years mentioned serves to illustrate that tho longer the arcilaticn of this national genealogy was delayed the greater would hove been the difficulties in compiling it. Tho work cf creating a national genealogy might properly have been undertaken through the combined action of all the hereditary and patriotic societies cf the country, as the avowed objects of these organizations are, among other things, to preserve historical and genealogical records and to foster Amoriicanism. The tenets 1 for which they stand may be defined as the motional Spirit, and this work, embodying as it does, the records cf patriotic service, self sacrifice and ncble achievement, might have been their c-rcwning achievement cf national service. However it remained for the catastrophe of the greatest war in history to compel official compilation of data pertaining to contemporary Americans no a war measure. Participation in the "/orId Ear by tlie TJ. 3. made necessary a source of information for furnishing tho lineages with their inter-marria-geo of large numbers of men and women vhQ were, or desired tc participate in the vanious war activities at home or abroad.* I The necessity for such information demonstrated the urgent need for an author¬ itative genealogical work cf national character, one which would be accepted s the standard for the nation. Thus, this work was born of necessity tc meet a crisis, and it is in the spirit cf national service that the work is being carried out. The names, files and voluminous data camp Lied during tho war are the foundation upon which itsbo.sed, and it is for those names fiat d ata are now be ing compile d • a 2^ re A cciiseption of the monumental task nvclvod in this empil •t i •y be ha :l rf «"» : when it is realized that it roa;paired nearly■ save n years(191 i -24 i c f m ost p ins trie c . 19 24.

I started from scratch in 1925, 12 years ago, I had the .advantage of a grandfather b in 1349 and sisters of his born shortly after to neip. If I had not ha,d those it would meant more work and taken longer time to gain xhe same objective. But remember the motto of the Institute of American Genealogy, "Somewhere, someone has the ansa ;r:1. Forget the defeats and keep up the fight year in and year out. You will e.ventu Ely win. Genealogy work is never complete. That is the reason that semi-colons appear fcllcwing data on each member of the family mentioned. Some day mere data about that peticular individual may turn up to be included about them. Even after they are buried their bodies may be moved. The eternal thirst for knowledge was the force that created my desire for information on my family, How many times in your life have you seen a farmer with blooded stock on his ranch -which had "pedigrees' running back 12 or more generations but upon questioning him,he did.net knew where his fattier and grandfather was bom or anything about his own. lineage . Then’ I saw such a farmer I always thought, -he must think more of his stock than he does of his children". However I was never any better off than he was so I could never say anything. But I did determine not tc remain that way so set forth after finishing school, to 3 ook into ny own family so that I could knew who 1 was? From what type of people I descended and when my people first came to this country? Hew long they lave been here and from what country or eountaries they came. 'Thether my next door neighbor was just a. neighbor or whether he was a relative? If a relative, hew close? The was the common ancestor? etc. I am. no university graduate. Have no doctors degrees. 'The university of Hard Knocks is tire only one I ever attended. In that university there-are nanny professor and a multitude of students. I lave the ability to learn from every man, I ta.ik tc. The more I learn the more ignorant I feel because I commence to knew how little I know as I continue to learn. The a.bility tc put in use 'for the benefit of other people, what you know, marks your success or fr.ilue in life. It would do me nc good to keep all the information contained in this record to myself. Its greatest good can be accomplished only by its greatest circulation among my relatives so as tc In turn enlighten them on the things I know; so they in turn can enlighten me on the facts they know not contained in this record. I encourage correspondence. I encourage critisism of the constructive type . If an error is observed, something said that is incorrect, I want the correct answer if that answer is in your possession. Every 10 years or so this genealogy should be brought up to date. Seme member in possession of this book should do this or mail a card tc me so that I esn do this. The contents of this mimeographed work, if put in printed form would sell for from y6. to ,210 . Present conditions during this master depression of all depres¬ sions, would make it impossible for the avarage member of the family to pay that much regardless of the merits of the job. This work can be put out for ‘.1.50, is readable and answers the same purpose at a smaller cost. Besides this work may to the inspiration for a noro accurate end complete works that at a later date can bo published in printed form and sell at a higher price; and have mere printed pheteo. There is no prouder family in all America or Scotland today than the Hci.Eals . You can point with pride to year ancestry regardless of how wealthy or humble year lot in life may be. I trust that the following pages will be an inspiration to the onccmming generations of our family; that they may when reading papers or studying vhistcry knew in just what relationship their family stands in regard tc the events that have taken plrO.ce or new are taking place; that this record will be a_n inspir¬ ation for continued research work to fill in ga.ps and start the proper keeping of further family records raid histories. ■ » Page 1. The Rev. D. J. Rankin in his history of Anttgonish County, I'ova Scotia, ■ ublished in 1929 says, "The Clan Macileill is one of the most ancient in the highlands f Scotland. They descend from Kiall of the Mine Hostages, Kind of Ire land (A.D. 379), • -id in the twenty first generation from that monarch, in the year 1030, they cace to ha Isle of Barra where they estahlis'ned a clan government which remained almas t in- pendent for manny centuries. Surveying the horse occupation of the outer Hebrides, iall Og, the 26th Chiof, appeared at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and recieved com Robert, The Bruce, the Barony of Bar in Lorth ICintyre . These lands of Bar wero iven to a younger son, from whom descended the Machoill3 of Tynish and Gigha, who .ave been known always as the oldest Cadets of the Madeills of Barra. It is from this ) ranch that the Colonsay family, so known from their purchaco cf that island in 1700, '■’sscend and who aro noted for their achievements in Parliament and public affairs of C reat' Britlan." "In 1343 the MacRuaries secured nominal superiority of Barra which passed, by inheritance, to the Lords of the Isles who, in 1427, issued a charter to Gilleonan the 29th. In 1495 however, King- James the IV, granted a charter direct to Gilleonan the 31st., thus ending the superiority of the Lords of the Isles’'. : - "The nezt 200 years wore turbulent times in the Highlands, and '•he MaciTeills, in common with other western clans, wore active in. the warfare which was carried on almost continuously." "In 1621 the Chief,' Kiel Cg the'36th, in support of King Charles the II, took part in the Battle cf Worchester, where he held the rank of "Colonell of Hosse". Roderick the 38th. recieved a crown charter of all the lands of Barra in • 1688, fought under Dundee at the Battle cf Killiecrankie in 1689, and took part in the rising of 1715." The MacITeills were ardent supporters cf Prince Charles Edward, and Roderick the 39th. was taken as a prisoner to London, whore in company with the famous Flora MacDonald and others, was incarcerated on board the Royal Sovereign, being released in 1747 after the passing cf the Act of Idemnity." "Kis son and heir, Roderick "the Resolute", was killed at the Battle of the Heights of Abraham at Quebec in 1759 . Roderick’the 41st. pursued a - military career, recieved the Distinguished Service Order; commanded the Centre Division of the Madras Army and rose to the rank of General." "The present head of the ancient clan i3 Robert Lister, the Mac Keill cf Barra 45, who recieved hit Arms and Supporters cf Chiefship at the Court cf Lord Lyon in 1915. His residence is Hew York City." Rev. Rankin continues the history and genealogy of the.Canadian MacITeills . The author has purchaqed from the Gocdspeed Book Shop, ilc , 7, Ashburton Place, Boston, Mass, a copy of Robert Listers book, "The Clan MacKeil". Robert Lister MacHeill, the 45 Chief of the MaciTeills of Barra has published a wonderful piece of liistorical and genealogical work on the IlaciVo ills of Scotland and the island of Barra which runs back 45 generations to IIiall Maoighiallnch(the first HacMeill in Scotland of this clan)to the year 379 A,D. Ikon there on back to 17oah(of Bible fame)the family history is called "Ancient Irish Traditional Descent" ana i3 taken from Irish chroniclers who set forth"the fountain of the race was Hi all cf Scythia, son cf Fonius the Antiquarian Xing of Scythia, sen of Baoth, son cf Magog, son of Japhet, son cf iloah". Invited into Egypt by Pharaoh Cingeris, on account cf his great learning, he was given the land of Campus Cyrunt, near the Red Sea, and the Kings daughter Scotia in marriage. Like Joseph, i s a minister of Pharaoh, he ruled E-gypt for manny years and introduced great improvements in regulating the flow of the great river, called after him "Illall" or ITila . ITiall, by the Princess Sect?., who rescued LIcses framtlia bulrushes)drGwning, had son Gaedhal, or Gael, from whom the race (Cals) Dcieved its nam3 . Driven from Egypt because he had upheld Hoses, Gaedkals sen 4sruth went to Crete (island in Med., sea)whore he died. He was succeeded by Haber Sect .. ic conquered Scythia, where they ruled during the lives of his successors, Becuman, J, jama in, and Pal. Tai’s son Agnomain became a nomadic dweller on the shores cf the Jaspian Sea, and his son Lanhficnn fitted cut a fleet which sailed to Gcthia or Gotulialiater called Lybia)cn the site of which Carthag8 was afterwards built. His son Heber C-lunfienn was born at Getulia which they continued to rule tiiru the fol¬ lowing generations; Agncn Ficim; Fobric Glas; Henuall; ITuadhad; Alladh and Deag. v Brath, son of Deag, headed an expedition which landed at Galicia, the northwestern part cf Spain. His sen £>rooghan, who became King of Galicia, .uidalusia, Murcia, Castile and Portugal and who built the city cf Brigantia. BLlius succeeded his father, and had in turn Milo sins, who married another .rIncass Scota, daughter oi Pharaoh Kectonibus, King cf Egypt, and rules for 3c years. In passing the Gaelic occupation of Galicia, it is intersting to note'that the author (Robert Lister HacHe ill) is informed that tc this day the bagpipe still flourishes in that part of the .■ aarorv and c.u.t thov indulge in a dance resembling ■ Page 2 the Highland Fling and quite difforout from tho typical Spanish dances. I'ilosius was the father of Hebor and Reromon, under whom the Milesians "set rail in their good ships gallantly; from the sunny land of Spain"-. At length they > ecrled the island, it3 tall blue hills lit up by tlio last expiring rays of the sot- ••'•tus Bun, vhon"fra.i the galleys there arose a shout of joy, limes fail, the Isis of ■'rclny was found." fibber landed in Liunstor and one cantered and defeated a party of IV. a the. de >3 .tans at Sliobh Liis ‘whore Queen Sc eta was killed. In. an “joining glen, called from • •:r Glen Sccthin, near Klllorncy, her grave is still shewn, covered with a large • b».te stone, h-.ter Heber was also slain. Heremon landed in Leinster and became the first kileslan Monarch of Ireland, i .u, 2955-43, 3.C. 1028-15. he married Tea, daughter of lughaidh, son of Ith, and cousin of llilesius. She was buried in County Heath, on a hill, afterwards from her 'uJ.ed Tea Ilor cr Tea’s Hound * now Tera. Here in after times, the High-Kings of Ire¬ land had their principal seat."(end quote). From this point the author (Robert Lister ilnciieill) traces the king descent down to the first of the HacKeill line listed above .

INTIMATE SKETCHES 0? THE {last)FIVE CHIEFS CF THE CLAE HaCHEIL; by Dowager Lady of Barra, the Beloved 'blether cf the Clan "; taken from Clan'MahHeil Ea%=«? I feel that I am more familiar with the intimate family history cf the last 5 generations of the Chiefs of llacneil (see genealogy on P.2) chan any living person, and that the readers of the Cion Llacneil Hews might like a brief description cf them, i am tl:e mot lie r cf Robert lister, 45th. Chiai, was the wife cf Roderick Ambrose the 44th, Chief; the daughter-in-1; w of Ian, 43rd. Chief; the granddaughter-in-law of Hector Edward the 42nd. Chief; and am the grandmother cf wee Ian Roderick who, in the natural course of eventB, will become the 46th. Chief. Roderick .Ambrose, 44th, and I were married in 1S73, and at that time his grandfather Hector Edward, 42nd Chief was living. He died seven years later. He was a wonderful man, mentally and physically’, and Laird cf Larro. in everything he said or did. He was a "Black Llacneil", black eyes and black curley liair. He married Lille Elizabeth Llercereau and she,likewise',was dark complectichoi; ve:ry stern and,< in many ways, like, her husband, Hector Edw, who was a replica of Hoary the Tartar, Their son Ian, 43ru, was a "Red Macneil,"tall,'square shouldered, well built, and an athlete, with blue eyes, shady hair and very gentle, lie was endowed with every noble and generous quality that' could adorn the heart. He was my fat her-in--law.' e'S- Page 5 }b married Barbara Allen Humphrey, a lady of dark complexion, black eyes, beautiful wavy black hair, and who had a most beautiful alto voice. They lived in absolute Barmcny. I was with them a groat deal and I never heard and unkind word pass between ■ bora, I loved thorn both, Now comes Roderick ..mbroso tho 44th, Chief, very dark, another "Black linenoil, Mack eyes and black curly ha.ir; an unusually gifted man, u. fine artist, an eloquent speaker, and proud of hi3 family history. In disposition, quite like hie grandfather, ; outer Edvv. He married Elizabeth Dixcn 3inns(’nysolf), daughter of Thomas Dixon and i'.bU-y Catherine Lister, Our sou Robert Lister, 45th, Chiof(author of Oleum hacuoil Bock), our Bobbie to tho family, is of mediura size, black liair, grey eyes, and is much like his grand- f-.uhor Ian in disposition; an all around good sen. Ho uses all of his time and muans 4j further tho interest of his Claa and levee Barra as did the hacnoiis of old. He nc-ried Kathloen Metcalf, a fair little lady with.medium brown hair and blue eyes, v.uo makes an adorable wife of a Chief, full of energy ;and ambition to assist in every¬ thing that will in any way bo of Interest to the advancement of the Clou hacndil. Our two year old woe Ian,' is yet too young to predict what he will dc when g-own. .At the present time lie is a sweet manly little follow and full of kindly ideas. A most beautiful bluo-eycd bey, and will, v/ohopa, live to bo the 46th, chief, . All thru the history cf the Chiefs, there soems to bo almost alternately a 3iack and a Red Macneil; als.o* alternately-a gentle-Macr-eil and one cf firey nature; Roary the Tartar, 'The Dove cf tho Host, etc, Our Llaid cf Barra, Kathleen Elizabeth, is a fine little lassie cf seven and a half and well advanced for her age; can paint quite a good picture, both in water colour and oil, and before she could write, enjoyed dictating, for me to write, what jug called "Pocn Songs", an example .cf which I give further cn. She Is quite motherly with baby lan. \ , . . • Joan Barbara, who h&3 recently'- celebrated her 6th, birthday, is quite slender and so full of life that she reminds me of a butterfly, never still, and very fend of singing. Altho she and her sister Elizabeth often disagree, she is a great Deliver in Jed and goes to Him in all her difficulties and desires, Hot long sice she was tel¬ ling her aunt v/hat she was going to do when she grew up, she was going to have a little girl and boy of her cwn. Her aunt asked ter how she. knew and she replied, - "Oh I have already asked God about it". . • - So you can see, from, all the foregoing, why I feel, that I am a real and truly Macneil, and why I take great pleasure in assisting in every way the activities cf the Clan association, and hope the time is not far distant when Barra and dear old Xisimul Castle will be ' in the Chief’s family again. For I love old Xismul as does the native of Barra, and I am in the seventh heaven when exploring its many ruined nocks, and by drawing upon my imaginationj picture its former inhabitants. mtid the Isle has a charm for me which fills my mind with fairy dreams. In more sober vein I view the old cemetery, where, in a'great vault, lie the remains-of nearly all the Chiefs of Macne11 for almost a thousand years. And there is the little old Judgement Teat, near the top of.one of Barra’s Mountains, in a little circular valley that slopes like an amphitheatre. Anon the Chief rendered judgement the. dan gathered before him and could hear every word he spoke , The last time a Chief sat in the Judgement Seat -to give a .life or death decision was in the year 1545, The only real, disagreement my sen Robert and I ever had was about this judgement Seat. There was a little- stone loose, I took it end said MI am going to taka this back to America and seme time return with it, replace it, and thus add history to its- fame"'. He said,- "Jo, do not. take it", but I did. He never . said another word, but turned and walked away, Alien he again went to Barra, I asked him to replace it for me; he did'not answer me, and he did not take it, Ahen he and his bride went tc Barra cn their honeymoon, I asked her to taue it back and have it put in the Judgement Seat, which she kindly did, and I felt a terrible load lifted from my mind. Then there are two standing stone which, mark the resting place cf some remeto unknown, where a shield and implimer.ts wore unearthed, said to be the pattern of the ninth century. They are in the Museum at Edinburg, Then again there is an old grava just outside of the old cemetery over which stands r. broken ilatlesa cross, said to be the grave of a Horse Xing who died a "natural death", which seemed to be very uncommon in those days. There is another grave that is cf greater importance to the people of Barra, It is enclosed by a stone wall, leaving a piece of ground about 7 X 14 ft. In the long ago the Clan were having their yearly games "on the green", and it being around bhe bend of the mountain from the ocean, they did not see the enimy's vessels coming down from the north "until they were landing at the green. Instead of a battle between them it was decided there should be a battle unto death only between the Chief of Aacneil and the best fighter of the enemy. This battle took place within the space enclpsad by this wall. The Chief of the Clan wag victorious and his fallen foe was uurled then and there, after which the Horse fleet sailed away. As all this happened cn a picnic day, the Bout a people,- in passing tho grave •vith a picnic lunch, stop and sit on the low wall and eat part of their lunch in memory cf the event. Every inch cf the land has a history, and a lover of quaint 'urroundings will find Barra a Jewel cf antiquity. - Pa.ro 6 I shall now conclude this sketch 1 n sanding my leva to far-distant fricr.ds whom these words may reach and in quoting enj cf Elizabeth's "Poon Sengs" which'-shc dic¬ tated when she ’./as four ye arc eld, when her mother just had her straighten up her room. (The poom \/as sacriflcod on accctmt cf Inch of 3gaca allotted hero) . The Kon, Cohort Ligtor Hacneil in his boolc, describes tlie Ifisir.rul Castlo on the Isle of Barra as being scree 600 years old. There is some 8 islands in the group, Barrs being the largest and tl'jo Castle being located in Castle Bay, This ancient home of the iiacnellls(IlciTeals)v/as built by Illall 21 about the year 1030; being 100 ft. in diameter, the entrance cn the southeast side being a very narrow doer new walled up. The walls were cf rubble stone and mortar the angles have a sharp arris at the base, the northern angle becomes a turrent containing a snail platform or sentiAel *s stunco on top. Below this Is wh‘t is called the "dungeon" having probably been two apart¬ ments, -the lower one which may liave been a prison, while the upper one was a guard¬ room. A ruinod stairs lends tc the upper chamber and 3ontinels stance. The walls are four ft; in thickness cn the north and west sides and seven Ft. on the east side which is nearest the land and about 50 ft, in height, A parapet wain geos around the top. The castle had two floors divided into a number cf apartments, .Tv?o wells supplied water fer the inhabitants, located within the walls. The reader is urged to obtain-a copy cf the Claim hacniol book fer mere details, cf the castle and ilcHeill legends about Barra and the family, THE FAMOUS ISLE OF BARBA TRJhSUE hihJT; published in Clan Macneil News; As my papers are at hand,.may I encroach on your valuable space to draw atten¬ tion to. the true story of a famous Barra treasure "hunt. Sc far as I can recall, no ono has referred in print to this curious case. Old people in Barra used to 3peak with bated breath of an immense treasure that lies buried in the sea near the island. They declared that'a great ship laden with barrels and chests of gold, silver and jewels, was wrecked within a short 'distance cf land. On clear days the barrels could be seen lying at the betten- cf the sea. Yeung folks described theso tales as "old wives* yarns", But, as readers- will see» it was really true about there being such a wreck and that barrels could be seen, for a Dutch East Indiaman went to the bottom in April 1728. Let me tell the story of the Treasure Hunt. In 1728 Alexander Mackenzie cf Delvine, one of the Principal Clerks of Session, heard about the wreck near the Island of Barra. lie held a commission as "Admiral of the long Island*', and it was his duty to make investigation. lie therefore 3ent’ a trustworthy person to Barra to get all available information about the wreck, and when this person returned and reported, Mackenzie entered into an agreement with William Evans and John Hay about the salvage of- the wreck. He wag so convinced of the value of the wreck that he purchaced a vessel and sent her from Ieith to Barra, Further he secured the services of Cact. Jacob Row and his skilled divers, and brought them from the Fair Isle, where they were' "fishing on a wreck", to work at Barra. Mackenzie went tc superintend operations, but got windbound at the Isle cf Canna. fthen Cant. Row and his men came along tc Loch Hinot they heard of nis plight and went to his rescue. They brought him and 20 Edinburgh'gentlemen of his cbmpany tc South Uist» 7/hile in South Uist Mackenzie encountered (engaged) about 150 men to come to Barra with'their travelling weapons, for fear the natives -would creato a disturb¬ ance, At Barra he engaged a number of boats for "for fishing on the wreck". The work was carried on at first with great difficulty 2nd little success owing to the surges cf the sea. He recovered 23 pieces cf canvas', one sail, two hogs- herds, one iron bound'chest-which was supposed to bo'full cf treasure, but ’when it was opened it was found tc contain only locks, saws, augers, files, nails, etc. The natives must have laughed loud and long ever the contents of that precious box. Mackenzie, as we shall see, discovered more valuablo stuff, and he and hi3 workmen guarded thair secret very effectively until he was compelled to disclose the truth by process of law. Meanwhile the Dutch East India Co. were investigating the fate of ono of their ships. This vessel, the "..dolaar", under Oapt. VJhi. A. keyser, sailed from Mlniloburg cf the 21st. of March 1728 for the Dutch East Indies :.nd Batavia. She was ro*.th over 30,000 pounds stg. They heard, that the vjssel had been wrecked in April near "che island of Lewis . They also heard about Mackenzie's salvage operations at Imia, and instructed their agent in Scotland to investigate, because they wore cw-r'iencod that the Barra wreck was their ship ",-dolaar". 'They forwarded copies cf taw shin's invoices, with wax impressions of the coin she carried in addition to a greet miscolianeous assortment of merchandise. Those papers disclosed that she carried:-’’500 bars cf ingots cf silver in five chests; 150 bags of two silver pieces cr 45,000 gilders in five chests; 160 bags containing 32,000 ducatocns of the year 1728; one che3t containing six ingots or bars of gold; etc." The approach cf winter created difficulties for Mackenzie. He had to pay 5,000 pound stg. to have divers and ethers continue their salvo go work. ..hen he had returned to Edinburg, the Dutch _.ast India Co, brought an action’against him in respect of the wreck. Thus ho had to deliver into Court sworn inventories of all he had recovered during the salvage operations, and all the treasure iiad to bo lodged .

JOKT’S BOATLiC C.'IdhR ' ^ It was Johns custom to build his flat beats the farthers at point up the river that navagnticn was possible luring the spring high water; and arrange and tales en cargo for all as they vor.t down str.au, Tho flatbc-ats were built during the winter months, Jeff Fuller-, the he .da s, Jmos 1 Idle al and David hello al help el in this tash* It was plannol tc have the beats finished -end ready to start with the 011c cueing of tho spring floods and high water. The actual construction cf those flatbcatn required.groat skill. Trees were follod and tho legs hughe d cut by bread axes(squared); they wore then whip-save I into the boards nocossary for the bottoms, ends ar.d sides. .Ill work was dene by hand. ,To realise the ancunt cf work necessary tc prepare a flatbc.at, by hr;: 1; tho trees 3-1/2 ft. Unrooter wore felled, elk legs hughed to -a clialli lino for their entire 50 ft. lcngth(lsngth cf beat). Fifty such gunnels were nocossary for the betteme sides. Other logs were hoe-'.-’ into 25 & 5C ft. lengths, hov/ocl on all four sides and then whip-sawed into beards. The IThip-rawing Tc whip-saw a leg, it erect first be placed on high wooden horses and.tie sawing did with, long cress cut saws, except that these saws never had drag teeth. Legs wore ho.rier to rip than, tc sew crosswise of thn grain. The beards were about 4 inches in thiol-moss. .Ill beards were pegged into place, nails being: an emr.nod lux-ery. They wore then okorecd or tarred in between beards to prevent Ieohs. The beats wore then turned ever need launohed in tho water and the supor-stracture put on,- the deck and house. Sane cf the beats made by the helicals measured 30 X 50 ft. Then under way, being leaded and ready to neve down tho rivers, two steersmen wore nocGseary if the water was tc~ swift mi rough. J dm generally acte as ho Iowan wliilo one of the ether nevcors of the family directed operations iron the front(in swift water). John never a 7/rock in his 30 years of boatin'; cn tlie shoals cf may of the rivers. In ..labrma c-r hissiseippi the boat, cargo and all wore sold end Join and others would either buy a horse and ride trot homo or walk tho 6C0 cr 1,000 nils return trip back. Iter or. to derm the rivers it was nocossary tc tie up at nights. It was at those night steps that the prcf-ssicnal river pirates t;ou11 hold up beat operators by guns and steal cargos. John never lost a cargo althc ho load several \ encounters during his beating cursor. Upon returning hcruo the crops wore pirate 1 and harvested -and the annual preparations for wint.-r thus begun again.

Candles v.-ere a luxery. pld i» */*~**ciToala. Pack her30s wore used to bring in tne kill from the nilislnot autcmcbilos or wagons as now)and foor cr horseback was the niedo of travel as no reads existed to evon operate a v/agon on. Later as population get thicker reads wore built. Lost cf the clothing of the family was spun by the women folks of the household and knitted by hand. Flax and wool was raised for thip purpose. Hides were tanned fer the shoes and gloves and hunting shirts and trousers, V/ild game provided much food alwhc domestic animals wore owned. Flows used by John LIcNoal wore made cf hardwood and covered with iron on ohe beam, later came the ’’shovel plow", A crabapple or blackthorn troe was used as a harrow with weight’s placed on them to held them down, and they done good work. He next used the harrow with the hickory teeth and later in Hlsscuri the iron teeth. The first crops wore gathered by hand the saythes being hammered cut of iron instead of boing whetted. TIio snenths were straigh sticks and the mowers wore bent horizonal. The first hayfork was made cf bifurcated saplings cf maple cr dogwood, which woro pooled and seasoned and which later became smeothe and"hard as iron". Land Clearing Parties VThen pioneers wanted to clear more land for cultivation tney would chop down « throe or four acre3 of brush and trees and then a "log rolling" was in erder, Those log rolling affairs was a big social event in these days(as was the building of a log house). All the neighbors for miles around were invited and came over with their beasts and the piling and burning cf the legs was tne order of the day; cr the construction of the house, as the case may have been. Then a big feast was prepared by the women folks and enjoyed by all, Lik meat, "white"broad, haniny, potatoes, vegetables were cocked ever the fireplace or an outside open fire for the event. The "raising" cf a house cr bam, after the legs wore cut and hewed was always another social event followed by a feed, dance and celebration to initiate the new building after erection; and these events generally required two or three days and plenty cf whiskey and grub. Corn Risking This was another cf the many "social" events. Corn husking "bees" were quite widely known in corn states and always took place after the crop was gat lie red and placed in ricks. Husking was dene by moonlight, after the days work was completed at home. A "boss" would arrange the men cn each side of the rack and the irusuing contest was cn. The "red" ears of com were counted as good Tucu, ./hoover had the most red ears, when the husking was over, won the husking bee. Later the red ear eliment of chance was eliminated and the one actually husumg the most corn wen. Farm Products y Besides the regular garden truck an4 corn for household use, flax was grown in some parts for clothing. Sheep was raised for wool and swine for food and cattle fer food and milk. The horse and oxen to work with, ■Wheat was not grown extensively because thG crop was.too hard to handle and therefore could not be raised profitably. Vith wheat, as other crops, all worm had to be dene by hand. The "reaper" would grasp a hand Pul of ’wheat in the left hand and cut it off with a sickle. The handfuls were bound into sheaves, then stacked in dozens. Ten sheaves made a bundle and were tied by hand, later tc be hauled in by wagon cr sled. Threshing was dene by flail. Fifeteon bushels was considered a good days "flailing". A bushel of wheat was worth two of corn. Large crops of wheat were first "tramped" out by horses(freshly shcd)r.nd rode by beys who led one or two horses. Three pairs of these horses would trnrep cut 50 bushels a day. In separating the wheat from the chaff, shovel Puls were thrown up into the breeze letting the wind carry away the chaff. Later a course sieve was used, which was always shaken by hand and which allowed the wheat tc fall thru, retaining the chaff, ilext came the, "winnowing 3heet" handled by two men, while a third would shake the wheat from a shallow bucket. Then came the "wind mill"or wheat fan (now used by farmers for seed wheat fanning. The first threshing machines were sold in ilisscuri by cur subjects first and oldest son John. They were a sensation. They had a cylinder propelled by four horses. The cylinder was in a box, walled in on three sides by canvass. A man with his face covered would rake out the straw from the cylinder cf this "chaffpiler" Straw flew in all directions and his task was dangerous cn the eyes and hands. Later came the separator propelled by horses and then by steram, followed oy combine. Hominy Block Another necossay farm impliment in those days was the hominy block made cf white oak or hickory, generally about 20 inches in diameter and hollowed cut by fire. This was done by boering a hole end inserting a white hot iron until the opening was me.de large enough to build a fire in it. The hole in the block was generally V shaped end was intended to hold about a peck cf grain. The grain was softened by soaring in water after boing broken up by a woolen pestle. It was generally considered a days work to make hominy for a family of eight. The punndol grain would be more cr less fine and was therefcro sieved tnru door skins, streached over hoops and . . ■ -w —tj-'w-o 1- •$—l CiiO OlC , perforated with holes in them which would separate tno fine corn from the coarse, bio fine corn was used for "johnnycakes" and the coarse for hominy or ropoundod for ,!0ra johnnycake flour. Johnny cakes wore baked on hoards and were sometimes known as puna or ,rhoecakos". This method of gringing was later replaced oy the sweep pole grinder. It v. ns attached to two circular stones, the upper of which moved and was known as the ■' runner” stone, while the lower was known as the "bed" stone, doth stones wore fitted t/ a wooden hoop in which there was a hole for the ground meal to pour out of. r"t'0.in was puured into the center of the top stone (vliich had ci ncle for that pu-ic.,^. Mother hole in the runner stc.no was provided for the "sweep" pole which was rr.anr.e by hand. The grain was. puured into the top by the "idle” hand of tr» person pushing the mill. A bushel of ground meal or flour was considered a days work. The hand mills were later operate! by water power. _ G3E3AL0GY _ — At the age of 25, on Oct. 30, 1629, cur subject, John Lie heal 4th. married his first wife LLftRGJIBET KAE.IOK a 17 year old Tennessee girl. She was born m Green Co. ' Temu ITcv• 14, 1311. She had a brother Ira who went to Texas; a^sister Susan wnc married John Good(brother of Anna Good the wife of Jcfcg Kcileal od.-1912 v/ar Veteran)/^} she also had brothers Phillip and Adam and a sisfce¥*®t married into the Broyles , family.

Two years of widower life was endured by our subject. Dur¬ ing that time grandma Anna Good IlciTeal cared for the children with the aid of cur subjects sisters. ^ On October 26, 1341 John ItoNeal married LdVIIIA gABUEST .KJLLBK the 17 year old ^ ? daughter of James and Halinda(Brcyles)Fullon, the founder cf Fallens Depot'now called Chucky) Tennessee, not far from the Horse .Creek home of the Me Foals. The Fallens and the KclTeals were very closely and intimately acquainted. I have seen very fortunate in obtaining a fine genealogy of the Pullens and Broyles lines,which appears following the Good lino, after the LIoHeals). Lavina was born at Belmont, Alabama Hay 6, 1824 on cue of those manny boat trips mentioned above that the aliens and KcHeais made annually each spring.

The migration to Kisscuri As stated above, after 30 years of tireless effort of boating and farming ih Tennessee, our subject took inventory of his assets and found that he h-d c-ccur.q lated just about $1,000.

Tl x mer banks ha^ been brought to their attention by ether boatmen of the livers whom they mo chat next of the country. Reads were impossible, almost, to travel. Fivers ha< ^ o be crossed with wagons, if they chose th:t method; sc after a thorough discussion cf the whole situation it was descided that they would go by boat, end mane their own boat, , *. So during the winter of 1352 the men folks all turned to to build the larges * flatboat that they had ever attempted tc build and launch. Jpmes neneal; tne Kc.idams brothers; David EcHeal; Jeff. Fallen; 2n. Burgner end fellies all helped tfu-t winter to construct the 25 X SO ft. flatboat. Tno difference between this flatbcnt and others built was tte.t this one, the doon was practically tevorei with super- ctructuretor house (which was divided into rocnctstator-rocnc to river xenltc oe occupied bv each family .until a home location was chose and log houses or otner dwellings constructed after arrival at destination. This wao good judgement. Hext S-oringt 1353)during high water they shoved off, never to return to tneir - ' ■r.agG 1-4: Tonnosso© homo, Eaay wore true pioneers. They had tho pioneer spirit* It was make cr break in a new country. Tho journey tock several wooko and ccvorod mcro than 2,000 miles of water. It took tho farcilio3 thru the states of Ala bona, Mississippi, Tonnocsoo, Missouri and a part of vrhat Is now Nebraska. The only nis-hap of tho trip was tho falling ovor- board of tho writers grandfather(Tm. 3. i.Icheal who gavo tho writer an account of this trip r.3 gathered lator fran hi3 father and other members cf the- family), who ..'as salvaged from a watery grave by his sister online.

I was walking up tho gang plank toward shore whan I noticed some red buds on a bush, I descided I wanted a rod bud.

I went into tho .Tennooooo fiver, ily sister Salina hoard the splash raid when I came to the surface she grabbed mo raid pullod mo to safety. I was more careful nftor that". Upon reaching the Mississippi P.iver, it was descided not to try to sail the flatboat up that river. They had a good buying offer and sold the beat and most cf the provisions and took a steamer for Cinaha, Nebraska, which then[ 1353)was only a western trading post consisting cf -a store and a house or two. Prairie grass grew there then six foot high. Any member of tho family or all the families cculd have filed on homesteads cf 163 acres each in the hoart cf what is net Omaha, The reason r,he family did not locate at Cm aha was because "tiiey thought it was too far up the Missouri JUver; and too far west to ever bo settled within their lifetime", lie one had yet settled near Qnaha althc tho land was excGll9nt for agricultural purposes. SOMOHA, MIS30UPJ Fcr the above reasons the family turned back, landing at old Sonera., Llissouri which had a small settlement at that time and was considered "within civilization'', Ihis part c.f Atchison county had several other small cummunities and a "ccmf or table" rural population, liko Green County, Term. had.

His family livod cn this place about a y9ar. The need fcr wood and ra.ils for fonaos, caused him to buy a "40" closer to the river, west of his 160 acres.

He sold it to Marion Good fcr £1600. when the Kansas City— St, aoseph a Ccur.sil Bluff Railroad started making their surveys and laying track up toward 'Vatson, Jim inquired of officials where the station between Phelps City and Hamburg, leva wa3 to be located? The railroad officials replied thot the company im?-i no intention cf putting in any station.

They would. lie had not long before 3cld 134 acres tc Marion Good for >1600,, and he thought that he ight tc be able tc buy 10 acres for the railroad depot fcr V25Q. but hi s cousin asked him *1,000, This was a "financial cutrr.go",f but rather than continue for years hensc to haul his corn tho five miles to P.'.opls City, ho paid the price and gave tho land to the railroad thus establish— tao city of Vatson, Missouri and killin'’ olda Dr-:-oratonora ™as a town.t( I . . - Togo 1.7 Tho Her gr.n Outlrwn, During tho Civil War most cf tho people of liiosor.ri, poticularily thin section ranted -to remain nautral and not have anything to cm with either ride, nowever many •■'■claw bands operated with and without tho 3 one tier, of officials cn either sido of no war and plundered, stole, burned mi destroyed property of peaceful citizens. ...ijiig these gangs wore ono known as the ?, G.

His grave is in the cemetery at Prairie City and marked with a large headstone, marked JOHL LCUE.iL lt-03 lo87.

Tfci. 3.(who will hereafter bo referred tc as Tm./attended school first at Scncra Lie. and was at home with the family in the movements Imre-~to-fc.ro described until 1368 (when the family lived at Corthrge). He returned to Joncra and worked for a time for Frank Bayless. In 1670 he descided to take a trip to Texas to see his uncle Jeff Fallen who he thought was one of the finest men and with the most pleasing personality that ho ever had the pleasure cf meeting in his 04 years of life in this world. He rigged up 0. wagon and took two carpenters along by the name cf Jacob Good and "Dec"Heliar. They had two wagons and two dogs, one a birddog belonged to .'/ill, a. bulldog belong¬ ing to the other men. The dogs were tc warn of night attacks by the Indians of the Oklahoma Territory and tlieivcs. Both dcg3 becomebecame lost on the trip. At Fort :.7crth, Texas, '.hi. remembered that Ira Harman lived there (the brother of Margaret Harman 1st. wife cf John 4), he wanted to again see Ira whom he had net seen since leaving Term, './hen a bey. Ira had married a "southern'' woman who did net knew how to cook, being from an aristocratic family. Ira’s children, by his first wife, had left homo and the poor old man was having quite a time of it. Then Till drove into Ira’s place, Ira. couldn't at first pls.ee who he was, but invited him in true southern hospitality, tc stay over night. "Ira cocked both the supper and breakfast" according tc '.'in. Finally during the night Ira's mind threshed cut the distant relationship ana the visit was very cordial. Ira advised Till of the reads to Tascc, where Uncle Jeff lived, and he and his travelling partners left the next morning. Thai is the last time they ever saw Ira. The companions left ./ill at Dallas, Texas and he went on to .Vasco alone, which was 2. small town in those d-ys, with his partner Spencer and the one wagon. He inquired at the postoffice and several stores where Jeff lived. Ho one know just uactly. Letters ho had recievoi from Jeff wore re-road and they stated ''eight miles 1 A 7. cut of /asco", nr direction mentioned. They were setting lev.’ cn finances _nd were down to thoir last 25c. which they □pent fer o. broken bcttlo of "whiskey pooches" which are poaches packed in whiskey to preserve their*, -very time they ate a poach on their empty stomachs it was as good as a glass of whiskey. After eating a peach or two they didn't care for feed anyway. The next morning they headed west cut cf '..'ace fer 8 milQ3. The country was level as a board, ilo one knew Pullen. The country was open sc they descided to drive in an 8 mile circle until they did find him even the they had tc drive 25 miles. At nocn they ate another peach, and by night, after going 20 miles cf the 25 mi. circle they arrived at Jeff Pullens place. As they approached in the evening, Jeff was cut- side the house, seen and recognized .ill immediately. Uncle Jeff was always full cf tricks and he asked ..'ill to walk ever tc the house and ask Aunt Tempy, his wife, (2nd) for o. drink of water. He did. She was very obliging and failed tc recognize him at first, and when she did, she knocked the dipper cf water in '.'.’ill's faco, saying, "I'll teach you to play tricks on mo". Cf course Uncle Jeff was behind the bushes just roaring with laughter. .'ill and Spencer needed work and Jeff put them tc work cribbing a well. They had to tear cut the old cribbing and put in new. The country was then alive with rattlesnakes. V/ill hatod rattlesnakes and the "cld"well cribbing to be tern cut was just alive with rattlers. The job paid v‘2.50 for working In the well "with the snaked1 and .pi, a day for the surface work, (Going wages were 50c a day then), .ill took the dollar job, Spencer "didn't mind the snakes" he took the p2 .50 job; he just kicked them cut of the way until the cribbing was tern cut to the bottom and he then clubbed the rr.anny hundreds of poiscnicus reptiles to death, leaded their bodies in a bucket for '.'.’ill tc dumb cn a fire cn the surface . Gravel had to be hauled to fill in back bf the virtical cribbing put in. Oxen were used on the carts. In Texas oxen were net drove by the "Gee" & "Haw" 2nd "7/oa" words; they used "Come" and "Bike" tc turn the animals. They beys did net knew that and when they get tc the sand pit they couldn't step the oxen, so they had to club the oxen arcund and got in front cf them to stop them. Soon they heard Uncle Jeff in one of his spasms cf hilarious laughter. After he recovered he told the beys the Texas cede and the oxen worked fine , • Too many snakes in Texas caused V/ill tc be glad to get back tc Kisscuri, r*c said a man couldn't leo.ve his wagon under a tree lest they fall from the branenes into the wagon. It was worse fer a man travelling by horse. At night "ho never had to sleep alone in To: ;" he iTvays had plenty cf snakes to sleep with; rattlers, copperheads, water mcccasins of the pcisonicus variety and innumerable different kinds of the nen-poiscnicus variety, V/ill tells cf another stcry Uncle Jeff pulled on him. In Texas at that time "no" meant yes and "yes" meant no^ so one day Uncle Jeff asked him tc take a wagon ever to a neighbors and see if lie could trade it for a team cf exon. Inch neighbor said no they didn't have any cxen tc trade. That night he returned telling Uncle Jeff that none wanted tc trade; they all said "no". Uncle Jeff and Aunt Tempy went into spasms of laughter and cn recovering tcld './'ill "no" meant yes. //ill went tc bed mad and unccnvionced, Text morning Jeff went ever to one cf the neighbors and after he plainly tcld Uncle Jeff "He, ho didn't have any oxen to trade, got out a span and traded for the wagon". By August "/ill had made a "read Stoke" and headed back to Kisscuri. This is the last time he ever say his beloved Uncle Jeff Fullon, In 1370 he worked for his father in a store at- Cartilage. On Jan. 10, le.'l he married KABTHA, SSL ITS BASES who he met at a Jew Years day party in Carthage given by lirs , Geo. 7. Crew, Kartha's sister. He recieved the invitation from Sam Harrs, brother of Am. Harrs who married Hartha Lie ileal and son cf Gabriel Harrs who married Salina He ideal; SAHUSL GE07.GE UAHR3 married Laura Crow at a later date, which makes members of this branch cf the HeHeals double cousins to all the Harrs. Hattha Emelins Barnes had been living with her brother Joe Barnes. Her father Jcsiah Barnes, b in Kentucky in the 17S0's died at Carthage at the close of the Civil Jar in 1863 . Her mother died at Hound City, Ho. They were still living in Carth.-ge, mo. when on Feb. 14, 1872 the writer father was bcrn(Orvin Oscar HcHeal). In the fall cf 1872 he moved tc Baxter Springs and worked in his brother John's store with his brother Jim lie Heal. Later V/ill and Jim farmed one cf his fathers places at Baxter Springs, Kan, It was here that his daughter Edith was Dorn in 1674. In the spring cf 1375 he worked hsi fathers 200 acre ranch, mentioned before at Baxter. In the fall cf 1375 he went to '.'/ebb City and ran his fathers store, later starting a small tobacco store cut of which he made a living. In 1676 7m. H. worked for his father again in the store at Baxter. It was here that his sen Frank was bom Sept. 3, 1376 , Frank vws a small sickly child and the doctors advised Till that if ho wanted to save the childs life he had better move sc he went to Arkansas where a brick yard proposition that ho and his former partner Spence, was to handle, failed tc prove successful and he returned to ./atson.

II. cf ‘./atson where they lived until the fall cf 1332. . ■J V While on this place ho fished cn tho HLshnebctna River by nets -ccmmerci oily. Ho learned thi.3 at Barter from a f oi] cw named Black md flshoa there on the Spring -liver. These nets wore cicular, like trcut fishing nets—only larger and connected in sorriog till they were 16 ft. long, the first hoop being 5 ft. in diameter and tapering to 2 ft,, with a heep and apron about evory 2 ft which acted the same as a fly trap. He made his own nets and anchored them, just under the water with rocks and rope and floaters, Jce Barnes lived with the family and helped fish for these catfish, the first over caught commercially at ,'c.tscn. They sold their first catches to the butchers at Watsen and Hamburg; later thru his brother John he disposed cf all he could catch thru G. Chase £ Co. at St, Joseph, In 1876 a Bible peddler came to the house and he traded fi3h for the "-16. family 3ible. that the writer's brother John HcUoal now has. /ill and Joe Earns both owned the house and place they lived cn. They split their partnership and ''/ill moved onto an ajcining place and built a little red brick house. It was in this house that hi3 son Claude Orlando L'ciieal was born August 23, 1862, just over the state line in Missouri, but his .address was Hamburg, leva (where he got his mail) • The Conaning to Oregon The family lived in the little brick house for about a year. ’Jill's health was getting bad and the doctors advised him to gc to higher ground in the mountains cr somewhere, or ho wouldn't live long. Complications cf sevoral ailaments had set in so.in April cf 1863 he sold out; bought a span of mules, a second hand wagon and headed 'Vest", Jce Barnes accompanied them with a toam and-wagon. They headed for Council Bluffs, Iowa where they leaded cn a train and crossed the river cn a railroad bridge to Omaha, Hob, The foe was a dollar. Just out at the edge of town was the common camping grounds for these "heading west". He struck up an,, .acquaintance v/ith John Jolly who had two wagons and toons worth .$1,000. the horsos being 1600 lb, animals. Jolly told 7/ill that he didn't think he would mako it clear across(to Cregcn)v/ith the team of "rats" ho had, './ill replied maby net, but was going as far as ho could anyway(that old pioneer fighting spriit). The road from southern Ho. met here, and they wont on to Kearney, Hob, where all reads from "civilization" joined with the Overland Trail, better known as the Old Oregon Trail, 200 r.iles west of Omaha, They camped here a couple cf days. On the second night cf the encampment a terrible rainstorm came up, rain¬ ing sc hard that it locked like about six inches of water stood all ever the lever prairie. The wind whipped everybody's tent tc ribbons except '.’/ill's. He had bought the heaviest canvass that he could buy, while the others had just light stuff. Ho invited everyone in camp into his tent for protection from the rain, where they stood like sardines for an hour or so while regular buckets-ful cf water fell. The next meming the others all went ever to Kearney and bought some real tents, .’ill and Jce looked the town ever, buying seme medicines and small final supplies, as Cheyenne, many hundreds cf miles to the west was the next stop. In the meantime the ethers returned, selected a train Cnpt,, chose posi¬ tions in the train, made their rules "laws of the prairie" and lined up for their places. V/ill and Joe found that they were listed to be in the rear, in the dust all day—which is twice as hard on the stock ana the persons in that position; so ’’ill told Jolly, who was speaker for the group, that since he had nc part in making the rules, and selecting a place in the train, that ho therefore didn't care to have anything to dc with their train and would drive on alone with Joe. 'The next morning they hitched up and pulled out ahead cf the train. At noon they stopped for lunch. The others drove cn past 02id stepped. At night it was the same, they camped separate from the ethers, IToxt day they started on ahead and so it was for several days whentas they wore following the Union Pacific P.ailrc-ad) they stopped at a water tank for the night and Jolly lest ono.cf his fine blacks that night. He thought it had headed back home and asked Will if he had seen it pass. Ke hadn't or his dog would have barked at it. However nc one believed this and Jolly telegraphed a description of the horse up -and down the railroad. V/ill and Jce broke comp as usual while the ethers remained to locate the lost horse , A day or so later they saw a man headed "oast'Vith the horse. It had gene west, just a3 Will thought and had made '75 miles before it was found and retur¬ ned to Jelly who was behind him. Finally the train again caught up, but they never camped exactly together. At one stage stop they had to draw their guns to force the operator to give them water for their cooking and drinking purposes. Ho ill luck overtook them tc Cheyenne, but the Rockies 7/ill got "mountain fever" the deadly enimy cf so many immigrants of that and earlier periods. The fever first struck ir. the train. For seme thoughtless reason 11c one had brought any Calamo to fight the disease, among the39 in the train, which was then ahead. Jelly knew Will had seme medicine sc they camped at the first water and waited for him. Jolly redo up to meet him and tell him cf the situation and obtained ancugh Calamo to doctor everyone. They camped together that night for the first time since leav¬ ing Kearney. The Colsno put everyone on their foot and they went on. Feed was getting very peer and 7/iXIs "rats" couldn't dc more than about 15 or 20 miles a day. The train went on. .7ill took down with mountain fever just as \ they reached Green River with a splitting headache. His sen Orvin drove the "rats" then only 11 years old, and V/ill wont to bed in the wagon. Going down into Green ' “Ivor they not o non in a hack, with o buffalo hide rcbo ever hie lap. The "rate" ^ot frightened, and tech down ever the mountain jidp. The bey Orvin v/ao unable to held then, ' ill had to uco all his strength to rise frem his sick bed, take-the linos to avoid disaster. The funny part of it v:as the "rats" could hardy move until they sap that buffalo hide. That sudden spurt cf energy wa3 enough to quell all fear of the inability of the mules to make Oregon. To add tc the situation Jee Barnes wagon broke down the ne::t day or so, They put beth toons on the one wagon, transferred Joe's previsions and cares cn. ..ill recovered frem hi3 fever. Peed kept getting worse. At Silver City, Idaho, Jolly's .#1,0.00, bluclc3 gave cut on him. He fed then fleur and everything but they died from the riggers cf the trip. Jelly bought Indian cuyuscs at Silver City. They left the train at1Silver City and never saw ary of them, afterwards. They headed for the Paluso and Spokane, -..ashington country, while .'ill and Jee curse cn to Prairie City, via Vale, the route of the Old Oregon trail In these days, John Day Valley. Arriving in the John Day Diver valley all the farmers were putting up h/v and needed help badly, was paying geed wages; but they continued to Prairie City tc get food supplies. Prices were high, Plcur $T. for a 50 lb. sack, while wheat was only 30c a bu. They wanted tc go cn tc the Vrilamette Valley and Portland, Oregon but work locked good and their team needed feed and a rest sc they stayed and worked thinking they would go cn that fall. But when threshing was ever in Sept. the natives told them they couldn't get ever the mountains on account of snow, and would have to winter there which they did by renting a house in Prairio City. There was nc work tc dc so .ill took his team and wagen, went into the weeds and cut wood, hauled it tc his place(9 miles)from the government land, he cut and hauled 15 or 20 cord, prayed for a deep snow, which come and sold every stick he cculd spare at $10. to $15. a cord. Snow was three feet deep and nc cue cculd get tc the mountains. Learning to moire baskets. /ill got a job mixing mortar fer a trick job for a saloon keeper named Fa man. Faiman told him that he made baskets by hand, .ill was interested and Fo.iman invited him up to his house, as ho wanted to ''teach" someone the trade before he died, .is ./ill was not working lie went up as ho thought that maby sometime the know¬ ledge might bo useful. Faiman gathered enough willows along the creok bottom tc make several hundred baskets, shewing the pupil just hew this was done; then went heme peeled and steamed the willows and wcrltf thorn into baskets. He told './ill that such a bnsmet would last a lifetime. He found they would; and since the Spring cf 1884 he made thousands of those willow baskets by hand that ranged in size from 4 ft. long X 2 ft, high X 3 ft. wide, for clothes, down to little 4 inch sowing baskets;, and sizes ir. between for market baskets, collection plate baskets for churches, flower baskets etc. They took a Ic.cd of baskets over tc './alia //alia that spring, sold them and returned with a load cf freight that Faiman had shipped in cn the railroad, that oeing the nearest railroad point tc Prairie City then. It was 2C0 miles. In 1685 './ill farmed just south cf Prairie City on a ranch and freighted tc sulci frem B-iicsr* City'* no licitocl tc ”C£iv 3, sslcIi fex* fleur* v/2.s tli© ir^iu r*0n3c”> lie started freighting, Fleur at 3a.ker City was 1,50. It was the Soring cf 1664 that ./ills mother and sisters came cut cn the Union Pacific to .Veiser, Ida. 225 east cf Prairie City to the end of the railroad in that direction. It was about this time that '.'ills cousin Bussell IlcIIeal came west by rail "just tc see the country" so Pill made up a load of baskets and went down tc Lake- view, Oregon 250 miles south cf Prairie City and sold them there and enreuto. The leg Jack went along also cn this trip. Jack was one cf the few outstanding pets of the family, me cculd "scent" a deer a mile away. Hoe very first night cut this deg and ./ills aoility tc shoot landed deer meat enough for the trip. This was all now end thrilling to Bussell. (Uote this locality is still the deer and oik hunting grounds cf Oregon today and the writer gees into this country for meat nearly every yecm.) In 1337, after the death of his father, ./ill went to Tacoma, Pash, with Frank Clark (husband cf Bailie ilckeal. Pill's sister). Frank didn’t stay ever there out a short wails, returning to The Dalles, Oregon with Pills eldest son Orvin whom nc put in school there. It was at Tacoma while working for a boat company tint in first met Jucob Dirks who married his daughter Ddith, and contracted weed hauling jobs and weed cutting jobs for boat lines which burned wood in these days cn the Puget Sound. In 1650 /ill come back tc. The Dalles and rented the old Dalles Hotel wnich he operated for a time. In the Spring of 1351 ho went with his family tc Ashl .nd, Oregon where he cut weed by contract for the Southern One ific railroad which Dumoi weed in their engines in those days. Jake Dirks came to Ashland also and in April of 1352 married Pills daughter Bait!: at Ashland. In June cf that year he came up to Cascade Leeks, Oregon(near where they are new building the Bonnyville Dam) and wormed for the D.P.A.P. beat Cc . which .Palter All away './as managing at The Dalles.

She died within a month. That erne winter, about a month l~ter, Frank, ill's second son caught cold, while cut coasting with seme of the young folks of Cascade Leeks and developed what the doctor diagnosed as pleuracy from ’which he died e.t the age cf 17, Feb, 3, 1653 and was buried beside his sister at Cascade Locks in a little comotory ever-looking tko famous "Bridge cf the Gods" lccation, made famous by Balch the authcr of Heed Fiver, Cregcn.

He bought 5 a.crcs in Thompson's addition tc The Dalles and dug a. 103 ft, well on the place, erected a tower and windmill (which still stands) nd h d a well tha.t never could be pumped dry.

The early detail cf Crvin Oscar's life (the father of the writer) has been set forth in the account of his father V,m, ID. Crvin's early education was obtain¬ ed in The Dalles public schools. Incider.tly Orvin, Nettie and all three of the grown children attended school to Mis3 Niche 11 who lives here yet, Orvin alao went to school in Tacoma, Mash. and Ashland when the family were in these places, as well as Cascade Leeks. After finishing school he worked for Muchler's Feed Stables in ths c ity when 23, for about a year; later, just before his marriage for recreation club. Dd, Nahany and Orvin went with the Davis sisters, Tina raid Nettie and one morning (Hay 18, 1698)Crvin asked will for the U3e of his team and buggy and the four went to Hood P.ivor for a double wedding on the above date. Md. and Tina continued to live in Hoed River but Crvin and Nettie came back tc The Dalles, and lived on the John Ecwland place for a year or sc. In the Spring cf 19CC Orvin opened up the "Ilcileal Llarket" in The Dalles, selling fish and vegetables which he ran for a year when the family went to 3tocktcn, Calif. with Nil! and his wife for the mother's health (which fauled tc improve) in 1901, sta.yed there a year and went to Santa.

Joe was a bachelor. >vith part of this money the mother Nettie made a trip to The Dalles to visit with her folks, taking the children:-.in, H., Fmeline and John D. McNeal. In 1905 Orvins health was getting bad from working on tho inside too much and ho came to Pcrtl: nd(with his father and families)entering the truck gardening business 10 miles oast of Portland, hea.r Sycamore station, where they lived three years until Jan. 19C8 when his health get sc bad he developed into T.

The climate here fer fighting the dreaded "white plague" is che of the most fa.vcrnble places in the U. 3. In 1900-10 this was net knev/n, Present methods of putting patients tc bed for years if necessary, was net known then. The result was Orvin died cf T. B. apr.17, 1910.

In a recent interview with 'Uncle ".’alter- (to cur family)whc was a warm persona,l friend of the writers father and a. influencial and well liked man in the business affairs of early days in The Da.lles, he related, "That when agent here from 1683 to 1891, previous Agents hrd net get along with business men of the cummunity on account of shewing tco much parcia.lity in granting freight cars fer loading purposes In those days the railroad business was more brisk than new, freight cars sometimes, in fact most of the time, being hard to got enough empyts tc fill orders; for inst¬ ance, if five emptys cur.e cn cn r freight and five had been ordered by the ’.Vasco I-Iilling Co, it ha.d been the custom cf agents to grant the hilling Cc.(the largest firm in the citylall five, regardless of orders for one cr two that might be placed by smaller firms. This method of distribution resulted in business wars in which the Agent was generally the victim of much critisism. Uncle Walter "divided" the number of cars available to the different orders, thereby keeping much better general feeling in the city on the part cf all but the hill who finally was convicneed cf his unprejudiced justice in handling the matter. These and many ether difficulties were all in a days werk to a railroad agent then, —9 continued with the railroad until 1691 when he accepted a position as .gent for The Dallos-Pcrtland— .storia-ifavagaticn Cc , hotter knev.n as the D.P.A.R.Oo, Ke loft the railroad on account cf strike trouble, The beat company in those days done a fine business and manager of the beat line was just about the biggest job in the cummunity, Uncle ."alter was well liked and made manny friends all cf which was -a valuable asset tc the boat company, he get the business which was what counted the most and gave orders to the ste mbent Cap.tains in regari to scodulcs and stops. The loro cf river transport?.!ion commenced the decline abcut 19CO when anctner boat line offered competition and with the building cf the G.P. & S. railroad the beat business just died a natural death. The building cf the highways in 1913 pvt■ the finishing touches tc a dying institution. Uncle waiter left before this cceurod in 1902 and went farming near Portland till 1908 when he wont tc Trout lake, ..ash, where he has farmed and lived cn and off for tlie balance cf the time, to date. " T.hilo it dcos net have any connection with Uncle .Valter, yet I feel that it is fitting and proper to place in this record an account of the revival cf river business, Averytime we of Oregon think of the Columbia River and its transportation wo think of Uncle 7s.ltor» In short the Columbia river and its tributary, the Snake is navatable fer approximately 400 miles. It has been a highway for traffic for countless ages by the Indians, used by Lewis & Clark in 13Jo and used ever since. Before the building of the Union Pacific the storm scat business made million aires cut cf several Portland business men and one cr r"c in The Dalles. It was the cnly moans of getting to Portland before the building the railroads, except the impassable wagen roods. Therailrcads but this business drastically and the highways finished it. Row along cernes President Rocsoveit, builds a 72 foot dam a.t Bcnnyville, (where tidewater ceases)to make a lake cut cf the rivc-r to The Dalles, a distance cf abcut 50 miles, he granted the people of The Dalles and the inland empire (an area of 250,000 sq. miles )a "Big" hcle in the dam sc a.s tc be ablo to get OCB-iT GCr.75 vessels up the river as far as The Dalles. The Dalles has therefore beccm.o the Torlds newest Teapcrt. 7ne dam will bo finished next yenr(1937) . Ocean gc ing vessels that Uhclo ‘Valter never dreamed possible when he was .-.gent, will soon be tying up •at the very same locations that he tied up his little river beats. Ravagr-1 i cn as never before dreamed possible is seen tc beccne a rea-lity. I trust that he will pardon this deviation, as will other members cf the family; and trust that those visiting the west after 1937 will ccruo this way to see these vessels. To expect the cheap electrical ^ewer tc be generated at Bcnnyville to create new industries in this .and other Oregon cumnunit ies.

The account of the early life cf Janes HeTeal was much the same a.s tliat cf his brother John 4th. and things said in that account may be taken as meaning that it also applies to Jones as well as the girls cf the family and will not be covered again here, except to outline that James also farmed in Tern. on a different place than his brother John and the McAdams; boated on the Frcnch-Braed, Tern:, and hiss.

His property :.t Genera is outlined on the map under John HcEeal 4th. as well as the account cf hew he bought 10 acres for the railroad and established the present town of V/atscn, Ho. It has always been a question in the writers mind why the HcHeals ever moved away from V/atscn, lio. locality which i3 the finest corn land in the U. S. bar none. Hr. Robert Henry HcHoal, sen of V/hitlcy, answered this in a letter cf Dec, 25, 1S33, ’’quote , "You ask me why James Hc'.Jeal left .7atson. In the year cf 1680 the • Hissouri River flood, the greatest in white mans time in Hcrth .merica, covered the iHssouri River bottom from Bluff'to 31uff: and my grandfathers place was about the 0"ly place left high above the water.

Holliday cf the Kansas City Letter Carriers says, "I knew Mr, McKeal but slighly as I was subbing when he was carrying Pouts 62 at the main office, but later transferred to what was called Gateway Station. As near as I can learn he was killed by an automobile while making his delivery, ip crossing the street he stepped and turned around to gc back and was struct by the car and died from the injury, I am informed that he was not living with his wife and family at the time altho she did attend the funeral. As a Dural Carrier you knew the Department dees net pay a pension tc widows. There is nc information about his wife or faniAT that I can learn here." Fraternally yours, 2. L. Holliday. Mr. Holliday's letter and the one from the Pcstoff'ice is all that I have been able to learn about Dussell. Mr, Holiday is mistaken about the Government not paying pensions to widows. They do pay when a man is killed in the perform¬ ance cf their duty as Pnssell was. If he had died cf natural or other causes the widow gets nc pension.

Exceptions tc this rule hav g existed at tLaes and in places by different members cf the family. For instance here in the west where the Democratic Party does not put a full ticket on at local primary elections, it is therefore necessary to register Republican to help weed cut in the primaries, At fall elections tne best man is usually voted for. Many Republicans cf Oregon voted for ..ccsevelt in the last election. The reverse prevails south cf the Mason—Dixon line where the democrats have a full ticket but the Republican is unopposed in the primaries.

I have net had time to assemble it in order. The fats are there. You can do the assembling. Lncle Green(Clias. Good)sent his information to Aunt P.ena(13 above )and she sent it on to me but aided nothing to it, net even the birth dates cf her four boys. She was sick at the time and thinks this business of hunting up information about lmj( '* dead ancestors is foolishness anyway, Uy brother had an item. You wanted the names cf Susannah Goods parents,— Barbara Anne Harman and Adam? Harman. You see there is a question mark after Adair; but aunt Pena, too, said she thet Grandma Good named her first child Barbara Anne after her mother; and one cf her sens after Adam her father. Probably they named William Thompson their first son after Grandpa* Goods father. Thompson may have been Grandpas mothers maiden name? The picture you sent is Grandpa Seed(John Good). He looked much younger than he was when the photo I’am sending vas taken,—sane hollow cheeks, same ears, same chin and high bread forehead. I am also sending Grandma's picture. Please return them, they are all we have in the family. They were evidently taken shortly before Grandpa died. I wish I had known cf Chucky (Tenn. )when I was near by in Forth Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky in 1923; but I did not knew near what town to leek for my ancestors birthplace, then. Cordially yours, Laura May Morgan. •«‘*****,***+*** + *+ ***** + ++ *** + * + ********* + #***,|t**ll<>l* + **#« + ****«**«*^+** + T»*“* + *T ****** Extracts from Memoirs cf Amanda Laura Good Morgan by Laura May Morgan My mother wrote a memory beck after she was seventy five years old. I am ex¬ pecting to have it published if possible, sc I cannot let you have the manuscript now. It is most vivid ana interesting - her memories of her childhood in East Tern;., the trip by covered wagon to Missouri, the life there before, through, and after the Civil War. I’ve been re-reading it and find a few reminiscence you can use. She began to remember at 4years . The first old log house at the foot of Bald Lit, Lived in that house six years. Seme of the cousins spent the night with them. Cousin Phronia MeNeal one of them— staying over Sunday. She and Phrouia picked cherries end seeded them, spreading them on shingles in the sun on the top leg of the new blacksmith shop grandfather Good was building, to dry and sweeten, As fast as the cherries withered and sweetened, Phronia slipped them and ate them. Mother say's, "I got so mad at her I was glad when she went home," and I thought I would never see her again for soon after that her father moved to Mo. and my father got out house timbers and hewed legs for a oig new amuse 3o much for Phronia. Of course they lived for years in 'Vatsen and saw each other often in later years . She went to school to her brother Thompson until they all moved to Mo. Tip taught singing too in the evenings. Nashville was the first city the children ever saw and the street cars, drawn by mules were a rare sight, sc were toll gates end big bridges, and ferries. She sr.ys there were nine families, thirteen wagons in the train. Uncle Adorn Good was interviewed at Hartford Kansas a few years ago cn some kind cf on ann iversary occasion and he said a 30 wagon train. It may be they joined other people on the way. She speaks of a guide going with them, one who had come back from Scnoro. to show them the way, but says he wasn’t so much help, having gGr.e out on boats from Chattanoaaa— cn a' flat boat - rowing down the Tennessee rivor"nru til he cane to where he took a steam beat. I judge he was one cf your family party. "Brother Thomas" kept a diary cf that journey, but it is lost. She says he died of typhoid fever. I remember now she often spoke of the visions he had before ho died as people often do have when they die cf starvation a severe wasting disease. She speaks of her father and her two elder brothers and all the difficulties they had on the long trek to Missouri. Finally they comped on the banks of the Nlshnebotna river, (used to be about a mile east cf Hataon, but is no longer therei, while their guide went on home to Sonora to tell the folks they were coming. A child died in camp that night, Next morning "my Uncle, the father of who girl who swiped my cherries" came. lie were to go to his house. She tails how good them were to the weary travelers, 56 • f . , raid I suppose she was glr.d to see even young Par cnlr. Mere :.l. Sno says "This Uncle had a double family of his own." "His first wife was mother's sister, frd there v'ore three first cousins, and five "by his second wife." The cnild that died was buried. Her father finally got part of one of her Uncle's houses—net the one who first took them in.—an Uncle with a big house and but three in the family. It was such a record treating cold winter that Grandpa Good vowed he'd move to Texr.3 in the spring. But he changed his mind and decided to put all the money he’d brought from Tenn. into a fa.ro. So he l?.id on the table, as Aunt Hen?- said, fourteen hundred dollars in gold and silver— all he'd saved in Tenn. and brought to Ho. This happened in Sonera, lie. Grandma scolded Grandpa for net requiring an abstract, but he thought all men, especially preachers, were ?.s honest as he ninself was, and he lest the savings of his life, not being able to get a cle?-r title to t*.e land. Mother says he and his beys went in debt for oxen, broke raw prairies land, raised crops, sold them, bought mere steers, broke more land etc, etc, Finially they contracted for 160 acre3 at ^25 an acre. (All the cheap land being token be¬ fore they arrived in Mo.) . Malaria, made them all miserable, typhoid was common, too but five beys survived and five girls. Grandpa later had sheep and liogs.

He established them at or near Gormannia., where the 1714 colony was alreo.dy located. It was here, until 1724, that they worked for Gov. Spotwood as indentured servants.

A colony cf French Hugunotes, encouraged by King Villiam, had come to America in tho year 1590, and seated themselves at the F.anakintown, in Va. cab eve the falls cf the Jrmos river. Hot well pleased ’with the lands they first occupied, end the greater part cf the Carolina being unnpropiated, they removed to the southward ana seated themselves upon the Trent river, with Pybcurg their pastor, in 1707. They we re sober, frugal, industrious planters, and in a short time became independent citizens. The German colony from Heidelberg and its vacinity on the Rhine. Those unfort¬ unate people had suffered persecution from time to ti.-.e because they could net change thoir religious opinions, so as to be in constant agreement with the ruling prince. The elector Palatine Fredrick II., embraced the Luthorn faith. Fredrick III became a Calvinist. Lodovie V, restored the Luthom Church, his sen raid successor became a Calvinist. That prince was succed in tho government by a Catholic family, who opressed the Protestants, Those people also had the misfortune to live between powerful rivals who were often at war. In the year 1622, Count Tilly, the imperial general, took the city of Reidalborg and put 500 of the inhabitants to the sword. In the year 1634, the city was taken by Lcuis the XIV., and many cf the inhabitants killed. In 1653, it was t'-ken a second time by the French, who laid the inhabitants under heavy contri¬ bution after which the approach of the imperial army, they blew up the citadel and reduced the city tc ashes. The city being rebuilt, was again taken by the French army, who committed it to flames in 1693. The inhabitants, men, women aid children, about 15,000 in all, stripped of their property, were turned into the fields by night. Upon the retreat of the French army, the inhabitants wore again prevailed upon to rebuild the city, being prmnised liberty of conscience and exemption from tuxes for 30 years. After seme time the elector, who seems to have believed that promises made tc heretics should net be observed, began to per¬ secute ills Prctosant subjects. The French army having again crossed the Rhine, the distressed Palatines, persecuted by their prince and plundered by a foreign enemy, fled to Rngland, about 6,000 of them, for protection, in consequence of encourage¬ ment they had received from Queen Anne, by proclamation 1708. Having pitcaed their tents a small distance^ from London, they were supported at public expense, until they could be shipped off to Irland or the Colonies, Christ¬ opher de Graffenrled and Lewis LIicho 11 wero attempting about this time, tc mend their fortune's by purchasing land in some of tho colonies.

I-.'o spent 3cno years in exploring the country. There was no scarcity of moun¬ tainous land, such as thoso people were accustomed to, but they dosisted from the project.) The lords proprietors of Carolina had agreed with these gentlemen, April, 1706, that ten thousand acres of land should be laid off for thorn in one body, between House and Capo Fein, they paying twenty shillings for every hundred acres, and six¬ pence of the yearly quit-rent. The Surveyor General was also instructed to lay off an additional tract of one hundred thousand acres, which was to be reserved twelve years. One of them was to be gratified by a title, when he should pay the usual price for five thousand acres cf land, De Grafferried made the purchase and was created a baron. This company, having secured the lands, wished to make then product¬ ive by settling them with tenants; and the poor Palatines presented themselves as an object of speculation. Commissioners had boon appointed by the Queer. to collect and receive money for the use of the Palatines, and to provide them with settlements . Gr&ffenried and ilichell covenanted with these commissioners, that they would trans¬ port to ITorth Carolina six hundred and fifty of the Palatines (abcu.t one hundred families), that they would lay off for each family, two hundred and fifty acres cf land, to bo held five years without cost, and from that period at the annual rent of twopence currency per acre . The Palatines were to be supplied twelve months with necessary previsions, to be paid for at the end of the following year; and they were to be furnished, gratis, with tools sufficient for building houses. It was also stipulated that, within four months from their arrival, they should be provided ’with a certain number cf cows, hogs and sheep, which were to be paid for at the end of seven years; rnd half the remaining issue was to be returned in lieu cf interest. The commissioners allowed five pounds sterling per head, for transporting the Palatines; and those people, who had each cf them, young and old, received twenty shillings of the charitable collections, made throughout the kingdom, lodged that money in the hands of Graffonriod and hiclioll, to be returned to them in Carolina. The Palatines arrived in Dec. 170$, at the confluence of the rivers Heuse and Trent, 'where they erected temporary shelters until they could be put in jxossession of their lands. The place on which thejr encamped was call hew Pern, from Bern in Switzerland, where Graffenried was born. The Palatines had to much reason to complain of their trustees; for Graffenried, in whose name the lands were taken up, returned to Switzerland without giving them a title to their settlements. He mortgaged the lands to Thomas Pollock for eight hundred pounds sterling; and they passed to tho heirs' of that gentleman. The Palatines in the meantime, being industrious and living in a country 'where land was plenty and cheap, increased in number and acquired property, -^-fter many years, upon their petition to the king, there in seme measure indemnified, by a grant of land, ten thousand acres, free from quit-routs for ton years." 1.665 Queen Anne, who well understood the policy of Hi gland, to retain her own subjects at heme, encouraged the emigration of Germans, sent seme of these whom she had in¬ vited in 1708 and 1709, to Virginia; settled them above the falls of the Rappahannock in Spottsylvania county, where they commenced a town, called Germanna, Hie locality was unpropitious , They moved some miles further up the river, "where they soon drove well." Prom this settlement farther up the river, they spread into several counties in Virginia, and into north Carolina, Shanandoak and Rockingham county in Virginia we re settled by Germans from Pennsy¬ lvania, prior to 1746, tinny of their descendants still speak the German language. t/hen George Washington and others were surveying lands in that part of Virginia, in April, 1748, "they were attended with a great company of people, men, women and children, who followed through the woods —they would never speak English; but When spoken tc, they wll spoke Hatch (German)." In 1690, Zing William sent a large body of French Protestants to Virginia, In 1699, another body of six hundred Huguenots came to Virginia, under Philip Da.

The vessel was imprisoned for several weeks be¬ cause of debt, at London. By this delay part of the ship's provisions was consumed while in port so that many of the passengers died of hunger while crossing the At¬ lantic. The remainder never reached Pennsylvania, for a storm arose and they were driven south, landing on the si ores cf Virginia, here they 'were sold by the captain .

He settled them cn tho South side of tho Bap i dan F.iver near Go manna, in what is nev/ Grange County, where he thro© years before had established a Gorman reform colony consisting of twelve far.ilies from Haussau-Siegon. Of tho colony of 1717 eight of the colonists aro known: They were Christopher Zinrnerman, Katthew (Michael) Smith, Hi chad Cock, Andrew Kerker, Henry S'.! id.or, Christopher Paulur or Furlur (lauer known o.s Seller, Barlcr and Bariev.’), Hans .-.errer. Burger (Harnsburger), and John Metz. The ether twelve of this colony are, probably, Conrad Ainburgor, 3althaser Blankenbakor, Nicholas Slankenbak^r, Hattnias Blankercun- er, llichael Clcre, George Sheiblo, George Mayer, .Michael Hr.ifcr, Michael --Clt, George Utz, Zacharias Fleshrr.an ar.d Andrew Lullenger. The last twelve named and Nicholas Yager, John Broyles, Philip Paulitz, Henry Snider, Michael Smith, and Mich¬ ael Cock were sued in the courts of Spotsylvania in 172-i for thoir passage money. Frca all accounts tho number of families in this German cclcr.y must have been at least twenty-four. The particular locality from which they came is net known, cut from the naturalization papers cf Hichclas Yegor and his son Adam, we are informed that the former was a native of Hess ar.d that the latter was bom near Pusselderiin in the Dukedom of Uewburg, Germany. In the Moravian diaries it is said they came from T.7ertemburg. The Reverend Casper Stcever, one cf the pastors of this congrega¬ tion of German Lutherans, states that they were from Alsace, the Palatinate. The chief cause of the immigration of this colony tc America was persecution. In a fer: words the condition of Germany at fchi3 time was as fellows; The wars cf Icuis XIV and that of the Spanish Succession load almost exhausted Germany, and especially those people along the border. In addition to the wars the extravagonee oi* the rulers and the contention that existed between the different religious- see o-s caused the colonists to sail tc the Hew 7/crld; among those who emigrated we find the colony Of 1717-. Governor Spotswocd employed these Germans in his iron mines near Germanna and^ also at odd times they did a little farming; this proved of groat assistance^to omen in tho future , Their lot was a sad and bitter one at Germanna, and at last tney de¬ cided to seek land of their own. They pushed out into tho wilderness and found.the land which they desired, cn the banks of the Bob in sou river and ./lute Oak Hun in Madison (then Spotsylvania County;. In moving from Germanna to t.ieir fucure acme they moved up the Rapidan river, crossing this stream, according to tradicicn, at the old German Ford just below Madison Mills. They pushed on towards tne mountains in that distance until they passed the place where Madison Court house new star.us; here they cane to a halt and settled cn both sides of the mob ms on river and miuo Oak Bun within a circle with a radius of about eight miles. _ ^ . The place of their nev/ settlement is described in old records as being at "So it ns Island*' for white Oak Bun was first called "Island Bun,** eecause tnsre Vas an is¬ land near its mouth. All cf the deeds of this period are described by their position cn Island Run, All the colonists did net move at the same time, Tradition nad preserved ui. irteen surnames which are said to be of the first settlers. They are: Ay lor, B1 amove n o am r, carpenter, Zimmerman, Crigler, Finks, He f funn, Clcre, Yager, Utz, ay land, Soutner, Crisler and Weaver. However, new settlers continued to arrive, and wit.iin eight years this colony numbered about throe hundred. Tne time of the removal cf tho first German settlers to what is now Madison^ can¬ not be fixed definately; however, it was net earlier t.ian 1724 and not later tnun^ 1726. From the information, that may be procured, wo may conclude that the migration began to take place in 1724. One cf the sources tc which we may refer in this matter is an order taken from the court order books cf Spctsylvania County giving seme Germans the privilage of making reads; the one, to clear cno from tne ferry- at^ Germanna to Smith’s Island up to the Rapidun; the other, tc lay out and make tne most convenient read for the so-called German Mountain road.

This fort was used for protection against the Indians and also as a church.

George Washington was appointed Surveyor cf Culpeper County in 1749, and mold the office for three years, (page 51). Adam Sroyle (Broile) patented land in Culpeper County in 1772. (page 51). John Wilhite was listed as one of the most likely soldiers of the French and Indian Var (1753). The act for the division of Culpeper and the formation cf Madison County was passed, Dec. 4, 1792, but did net take effect until Hay, 1, 1733. when lladison was formed, into a county the state required that each county be divided into districts and that each district furnish a company for the county militia, (page 59), The first Post Office was established in Madison Court House, Jan, 1, 1801.

James and John Slaughter (probably farther of William), Served as’Justice cf lladison County Court (page 64) . At the convention of March 20, 1775, Patrick Henry moved that Virginia be put in a state cf defcr.so and in support of this resolution he delivered his immortal speach, ending the words with "Give me liberty or give me death". He led the first Militia on Fort Williamsburg. They were called "Culpeper Minute Men" and carried rattlesnake emblem, "liberty or Death", Don’t tread, on me". Hunting shirts (green) said on breasts "Liberty or Death". Fought Batulo of Great 3ridge, near Norfolk. It was the first battle fought on Virginia soil, taking place on Dec, 9, 1775, Duringthe war Culpeper organized eight companies of eighty four1 mon each, one led by George Slaughter. Page 65).

The war of 1312—Muster rolls kept mostly cf men who were drafted—none volunteer 'David Wilhoit and J. V. Garre (descendant cf John Gr.rr) were listed as serving;p 68) The Hebron Church (page S4j was organized by the German colony cf 1717 who had emigrated from Germanna, and a few years before from Holland (Germany) . The old church was for a long time known as the "Old Dutch Church". It iias steed at its present site successively in three counties Orange, Culpeper and Madison, and its congregation lived there while the land was still in Spotsylvania County. The church is the oldest Gf the Luthcm faith in Virginia, and also the South, Tne origional part of the building is the eldest Luthorn church in the United States The Germans who started it moved to Madison, county (then Spotsylvania) about 1725 . Tie Rev. Casper St cover in his account of this German colony, claims to have been the first x^astor and says that for 16 years before his arrival these Luthems wore without a paster. There is no evidence that these people had church before they mova to Ms cUscn County. Their first .services after arriving »cn .the waters berf the Rob iuaon river, were hold by laymen in a stockade that was built as a protection against the Indians. (7/.P. Huddle "rlistcry of the Hebron Luthora Church"), In 1725 they sent two cf their mmaber to Germany to seek a pastor (Michael Cook and Zacharias Fleshnan) but they.returned unseccessful. About this time a church was built and known as "The German Chapel". T.ero are several good proffs that such a building existed and that it stood where the present church stands. It was supposed to have been built about 1726; it was of unhewn logs; there were openings for win¬ dows, out no glass; the- floor and benches were made of puncheons. It is net positively known when a congregation was organized, but it is certain that one existed as early as 1753 a3 Rev. Casper Stoever became paster there in that year; alsc the treasurers report for the same year ha3 been found. Tne Rev. Casper Stoever was born at Frankenberg in Hesse, in 1635, come to Ameri¬ ca in 1723, lending in Penn., whore ho labored before he came to Va.t and informs us through a x>amplot, that has written cn the history of his congregation, that the number of souls at the beginning was 300, and tolls us his salary was 3000 lbs . of tabacco ( about ^4-0). Rev. Stoever lied in 173S, and Rev. Samuel Ming became pastor. HISTORY OF LIADISCi. C HY, VIHC-I. IA 7. SOCIAL CUZTQIIS—Page 123 .

FIRST SCHOOL IN HADISON COUNTY ■ Va. /as established by the German settlers about 1730-40 as money was collected at that time for both school and church, in the Robinson River Valley at the old Hebron Church, It was built, maintained and supervised by this church; yet, it was not strictly a denominational school, for all who chose were permitted to attend, regard¬ less of the religious convictions. Instruction was given in' religious' matters and in the fundamental subjects; reading writing and arithmetic. This school was however of short durc-ticn and many years elawsod before the county oublic schools bo<* O Before the Civil 7/ar all the schccls in the count;- were -rivate schools —imtC * community built its own schools, financed and supervised its own school system with¬ out the intervention of county government. The patrons living near the school houses employed the best toacher they could secure . The parents of each student who attend¬ ed the school wore required to pay a small maintainence Ter its upkeep, if unable to pay, the county paid the sum for them. This was the only way in which the county paid any part of the school costs before the Civil Jar. Spelling and arithmetic were the main subjects of the average school. Pikes arithmetic was used up to the Civil 'Jar. The speller was 'Talkers Dictionary; Hurrays Groomer and /lore's Geography were the other leading text bocks of the day. Textbooks were scarce and almost an^ book tha.t could be obtained was used. The dull and backward child was urged along with a hickory rod; this the teacher believed to be the only -way of riving him his share cf book knowledge. The goose quill and the teachers copy were considered an especially important part of school equipment. Even today we are impressed with the beautiful penmanship which was dovel— oped in those days . Tablets were unloiown, writing slates were used in place of them and in plr.ee of che blackboard so com nn today. Surveying of land was taught tc tne boj/u who were token o^^t into the fields for practical experience. Teachers were not required to have a certificate. The old field schoolmaster was his own master and ho was required to satisfy only the patrons of the school to when ho was directly responsible and they expected him to maintain' discipline ani teach the fundamental subjects, but net by forcing the students tc study, rather by bhc rod. Every neighborhood prided itself in securing the best teacher. Zone were grad¬ uates of the best schools of learning. .They had 40 to 50 pupils tc each teacher. Students were net graduated fren one class to another; the only classification made was in each subject. Pup 11s studying the same subjects wore in the same classes . A pupil who liked arithmetic would be in a higher grade in arithmetic than he was in any other subject; a pupil would finish one book end be promoted to another in thk.t subject instead cf completing an entire grade. High sc ho cl work was dene in college. Education was locked upon as a Yankee notion and was not tolerated in Europe, Some had the idea that a he rich mar. had a right to educate his child but the pocr- raans son must remain "hewers of wood end drawers of water".

JOKE BROYLES cn Lay 2, 1728, proved his right to take up lend; making oath that ho had ccme to this country, 9 years 3ince with Oapt. Scott, and that ho brought with him his wife Irclcy and two children Conrad Broyles and Elizabeth Broyles. JACOB BRCYL, on tho sar.o date made cath, that lie ccme tc this country 9 years since, with C^pt. Scctt, and is granted a cirtificato fer 50 acres cf land. As will appear later, Jacob was the sen of John(above), and old enough tc hold land in liis own name. Cn June 2, 1724, a second sen, John Broycl, proved his importation, stating that ho had ccne tc this country in 1719, Ho mention is made cf wife cr children. It is possible that this is another and possibly the oldest sen of John who proved his importation papers in 1727; but if the date 1719 is correct, ho did not ccme with the cthor 3rcylej' ^ » JOHH BROYLES(the above Immigrant of 1717Jpater.ted 400 acres June 24, 1728. He made will Liar. 17, 1732, probated Feb. 5, 1734, witnessed by Hichael Kelt; Nich¬ olas Blankenbakor (2 ethers). He mentions his wife and all his children (net by name) among whom his property is to bo divided equally after his wifes death. Urso.ly Broyl the widow of the deceased presents the will for probate, Tho importation papers of John Broyll makes it clear that two cf his children wore Conrad and.Elizabeth. Jacob _ was another son, as will appear from the following record, July 26, 1744, Jacob and Conrad Brcil convey to Adam .illiito 200 acres patented June 24, 1726 by Joxin Brcyl part of tho larger patent of 400 acres; 200 acres were bequeathed unto said Jacob and Conrad 3rcyl(.Brcil )by John Broils will, as his will directed that his estate be equally divided among his children'; and as Jacob and Conrad's share seen to have been If 7 acres each; we must therefore lock for two other children who ’wore living when his estate was divided. Elizabeth Brcyl(Broil)was probably still living; so tho fourtn child may have been Join: Broil who proved his importation in 1724. Records show he left no heirs. For another possible child, see under Jilhite; On July 28, 1737, Ziriakus Fieshman sold to Jacob Broyles and Rnry Catherine Broyles 158 acres, patented by Fleishman June 24, 1726. This association of tho grantee's wife with the grantee in a deed is very rare and must have some signifi¬ cance. (Hr, He ith believes this indicates Cartherinc- was the daughter cf Fie Lehman} . The language of the deed implies a deed of gift.(Indicates Catherine wife Jacob). Zirkus Fleichmann of the Colony of 1717, was sued by Gcv. Spotswecd 1734. He was a leader in the colony. Kb and Geo. Utz presented a petition to the Virginia counsil Apr. 23, 1734, in behalf of themselves and ''‘fourteen other high Germans'' in regard to Cel. Spotswecd’s suit. At the same date they petitioned the Council tc go to Germany via England, to bring minister for '■'high Goman iio.ru ms Fleichmann patented 158 acres, June 24, 1728 .

Ho was probably the sen of Zirakus* On Sept. 28, 1723, Zirakus sold 200 acres to Sow all Sluchter (pat ,1723 'and husband Henry. Another "gift" deed in all probability. Thus, in all probability both Catherine Broyles and Sarah SPuenter were daughters 'of Zirkus Fleichmann. ■mar, 19, 1781 Jacob Broyles cells tc Cyrus Brcyle 2C0 acres, part cf a patent tc Zirku.s Fleichmann and Peter Fleiclerhim end sold tc Broyle by John Shafer, M.ay 8, 1754. For reasons already given I believe that this transaction Cyrus Brcyle is coming into possession cf land once owned by his grendfather. Jacob Brcyl patented 400 acres cf land Sept. 23, 1728.

KclTenl Cct. 8, 1533 The Dalles, Oregon Hy dear Cousin: Your letter recieved yesterday, and I was glad to hear from you, I am always anxious to hear from anyone that is interested in our family history or genealogy. But I am sorry to say that wo (the Y/ilhito- Vilhoits )know very little about cur family surname . Hr. A'. L. Heith(cf Vermillion, 3. D.Jkncws mere about our family surname . than anyone else in America, But ho has given me a copy of all of hi3 records that he recieved frcm'LIr. Garrs widow, at his death; and he is probably very busy, so referred you to me. In'locking thru my records, I believe that your Vilhoit ancestors are the some lino as mine, only that ycu(your wife)descends from Jesse the son of 'Tobias; and our femily from Conrad sen of Tobias. Tobias i3 the eldest son of Hiichael the immigrant ancestor. How we hrve no proof that Jossio was the son of Tobias, only Garrs records, tut wo cannot see from what other source he could bo. 7e do’net knew that Tobias had a son Jesso(soe his 7ill)but this Josse is about tho only one that will qualify. Sc I believe that this ■•Jesso is your .Vilhoit ancestor, I will give you a record cf him on a separate sheet. In your latter you spoko cf your oldest known ancestors Simeon Janiscn and Jessie K. Hy records shew that this Simson should be Simeon. Your Simeon was the son of Simoon who married Hildred kurpliy(Garr), who was the son cf Jesso, who was the son of Tobias, who was the son cf liiachel, the immigrant. Hy roccrd3 do not contain a family record of Simoon who married Hildred LIurphy; end I haven’t been able to get in touch with any cf his descendants, with tho possible exception of one letter that I recioved several years ago from B. L. '/illicit of Gautier, Hiss, who who wrote me that his grandfather "CLm" .Vilhoit, whe was born in "Hisscuri". Cf course he could bo wrong in stating that his grandfather was born in Hissouri. VERY FEW PEOPLE KI70W WHERE THEIR GEAEDFATH2E WAS 3C’RH(caps are tho authors; . and this is the truest words over spoken in connection with genealogy work) , In his letter he added that his grandfather had two brothers, and that was all. He spoke about E. L. '.Vilhoit of Stockton, Calif, who was a cousin, I wrote to him but recievod no reply, I advise you to write and see if you can get any addition¬ al information. Several years ago I notice there was a 'Vilhoit, Gregcn in Clackamas Co. I wrote to the Postmaster for in'form?.ticna about the place but my letter was- returned as the place had been discontinued, as a postcfficc.

I will say that I have been interested in Genealogical work for the last' 5 years. In that time I have net boon ver; successful; in fact I haven't been a.ble tc get another link in my chain; but I have several clues. I run hunting for absolute proof. I ha.d seme nice clues this summer when I visited Torn and am vory busy follow¬ ing thorn up, but cannot tell what they will amount to. I will be gle.d to hear from you anytime, and if over you run across any 7/ilhito or Vilhoit nemos and addresses I will be glad to write them, I Aid THYIITG TC TRACE ALL BPAiTCHES OF I HE FATILY HA IR (Yurname ), Vory sincerely ycuro, Wiley E. Wilhite. Hr, LIr. Wiley E. Wilhite Bcv/ie, Toxas hy daer Hr. Wilhite: This will paroially answer your lottcr of Oct, 3, 1933. I wrote to the county clerk cf Clackamas county, Oregon in regard to the postoffice at Vilhoit, Oregon. Ho advises me that John Vilhoit and hsi wife Phoebe came there about 1352 and filed their Donation land Claim, which was recorded in 1357. That would indicate to me, that John Vilhoit probably come across the plains by covered wagon with his brother Simeon Jamison YVilhoit from Hisscuri tc Oregon in 1849. Simeon took his son Henry and wife Hardin and family on to Calif.; so it is evident that tho party split either at The Dalles, Oregon or in the Willam¬ ette Valley. The son Eonry came back tc Oregon, died in Prinovillo . His sen Frank (my wife's father) claimed Henry never knew the exact location or whereabouts of John -Line it, founder cf the mineral springs bathing resort of that name, John and hLs wife Phoobe had been dead for years.

Further investigation and more research werk is necessary. The Fullen line is related to, or are fereparents cf; and descendants are, cousins of; Only the two uclleal lines bearing th9 sir name LicUeal; that is to the descendants of John Mci7eal( 1803-16 $7) by marriage to Lavina £.

Cc . Va., as follows; "James Fullen purchaoes 387 acres, and 2C0 acres from Samuel Robinson and Jane,his wife" (This and following deeds wero copied from the records from a personal visit made tc Abingdon by I.Irs. A. I. Brown, geanclegist of Rccl^r Hill, Greeiiville, Term.) In a letter from I.rs, Brown, Dec. 10, 1935, I quete the following parts; "The trip tc Abingdon(7a. )was made yesterday. The officials(at courthouse)were very courteous and helpful, and did their best to bring out everything they had. Among the marriages I did not find any Goods. I think the Fullen list gives at least three of James children. The discrepancy in dates must be due tc the large family. Among 9 children, the eldest would be marriageable, while the youngest was a chill. After carefully studying the enclosed exerpt from a deed, I suggest as a possibility that Vhitley Fullen was one cf the heirs who was buying up the property; that Uary was dead, Aaron Hendricks being her second husband. This is merely to explain the • nine portions, while only six c.re actually accounted fer, in the deed." "The marriage records are copied in a large volume, arranged alphabetically rs to the man’s none, but must be locked for cn every page by letter, end cf course tne woman's name on every page of any possible yearns. This explains the re:-son why I feel there is a possibility I lid net pick all the marriages ycu wanted, in the t Lae I had. Copying the deed and examining others consumed a let of time." "As you see, James Fullen, the younger(founder cf Fullens Depot, Tennlwas a grandson of James Fullen, Sr.' "As to ’wills, the first bock contained all from the very beginning up to the 1300’s, but there is no Fullen mentioned.
