Eulogy for Kenneth Raymond Lowe By Lori Winston December 1, 2001

1 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

My grandpa, Kenneth Raymond Lowe, was born on Christmas Day in 1912 shortly after his family moved to Thorpe, Washington. Our family believes that he was born on an Indian reservation because his maternal grandmother was a Blackfoot Indian. He was one of the five children born to Lawrence O. Lowe and Dorothy Mott Lowe. His two brothers were Oakley and Warren, and his two sisters were Hazel and Freida. All have left this earth and are probably having a huge family reunion as we who are left behind grieve the loss of our family patriarch. When Kenneth was two years old, the Lowe family returned to Indiana and settled in Vigo County. His father and grandfather worked in the coalmines and from what he’s told us, it was a tough way of life. The family was poor, undereducated, and never managed to save enough money to own a home. My grandpa went to Glenn High School and played basketball. This was where he got his nickname “Cob” because he made his own pipe from a corncob and smoked it at school. He attended Glenn High until his junior year when he had to drop out because the family couldn’t afford the textbooks. It is my understanding that at that time my grandfather vowed three things: 1) he’d never work in the coal mines, 2) he’d one day own his own home, and 3) his kids would have a better life than he did. Needless to say, he worked hard and fulfilled all three vows during his lifetime. He started working at the age of 16 at the Home Packing Tomato Factory and later worked a maintenance job at Quaker Maid, where he remained for 43 years. He met Miss Ruth Bryan when he was 18 and after a brief courtship, they were married in 1931. They worked hard and saved enough money to buy the farm in Brazil, where they raised their four children. First came Jim, then Pat, who was sort of feisty, so they waited a few years to have their third child, Mary Helen. They felt their family was complete, when along came their surprise baby, my father, Gene, whom they named Kenneth Eugene Lowe. The family lived and worked on that farm for fifty years until Ruth sold it in 1995. So many memories were made in that small farmhouse that had no indoor plumbing, central heating and only one bedroom for four children. Together they dug the basement, installed plumbing, built chicken coops, put up fences, planted apple trees, and built a barn that still stands today. Even in the midst of the Great Depression, they still had a good life. It was in this farmhouse nearly forty years ago that Ruth told Mary Helen to paint the bathroom since while her dad and Gene were out in the field working. She painted it all right! When her father came in to wash up for supper, they all heard swearing and looked up from the table to see Dad waddling to the table. It seems Mary Helen had painted the toilet seat, too! And there was the time when Pat stole her dad’s truck and put it in a ditch late one night, then tried to change the setting on the odometer. Those days were full of hard work, but the life lessons that were learned were truly valuable. It was here that Kenneth taught his family that they must work hard in order to get ahead. They raised chickens and cows. Gene tells his kids and grandkids of how during the summer, they would kill as many as 50 chickens at one time. He tells us about headless chickens scrambling about the barnyard, and how they had to boil the chickens so they could pluck the feathers. He swears that to this day, he can’t stand the smell of wet feathers. Jim remembers how they used castrate their own hogs and have Rocky Mountain oysters for dinner. And the time when they butchered a calf in the barn and his dad sliced open a tendon in his arm with a butcher knife. The story probably grows each time it’s told, but the kids say that Ruth rushed Cob to the hospital to have his arm fixed up, and Jim and Gene stayed behind to finish the calf. Well, no sooner, had they started, and Jim hacked open his hand with a meat clever. He ran inside and wrapped it up and Mary Helen jumped in the truck to take him to the hospital. The plot to the story gets intense when the tire blew out on the way, and Jim had to change it with one-handedly. When they arrived at the hospital and told the nurse his name, she said, “That’s odd. We just saw a Mr. Lowe who wounded himself butchering a calf!” Eventually, Jim called the neighbor, Tommy Farris, who came over and he and Gene carefully finished the job. Time moved on and the kids grew up and Ruth and Kenneth parted ways. He made some mistakes, as most of us do, and strayed from the family for too many years. Then one day, at Quaker Maid, he met a pretty young thing named Rosemary Francis, who changed all that. This woman I now call Grandma, once told me that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and that’s how she caught and tamed my grandpa. For nearly 30 years they have lived in that house at 3501 Stacey Ave. And during this last phase in his life, Kenneth enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, and woodworking. He and Jim spent countless days on the lakes, ponds, and strip pits reeling in the bass, bluegill, and catfish. They’d come home and sit at the picnic table and clean them and freeze as many as 100 fish at a time. Penny told me about the times when Grandpa Lowe would pick her up and they would fish all morning, and afterwards he’d stop at the Legion for a cold one and he’d sit her up on the bar. And it was Avis who told us about a day 20 years ago when Jim & his dad went fishing and got the brilliant idea to put the lawn chairs in the boat. After a few hours and probably a few beers, they managed to tip the boat over and lost the chairs, bait, poles, and fish. She still chuckles when she tells how Cob hired two scuba divers to retrieve their gear. He loved to hunt, too. Gene told us about the time when his dad and Harry Knight took him coon hunting one

2 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe night. The dogs tracked a coon through the woods and the trio followed. When they got close, Cob climbed a fence, pulled out his rifle, and shined his flashlight on the source of all that yapping just as a huge old skunk sprayed him from head to toe. He rode home that day in the back of the pickup and had to bathe in tomato juice. And if you knew Cobb well, you knew that he hunted, cooked, and ate almost every critter in these parts. He’d trap, hunt, catch and kill squirrels, rabbits, frogs, turtles, ducks, muskrat, and even possum. And no one who went to Kenneth & Rosemary’s wedding will ever forget how he served everyone BBQ coon. Gene says that we should have seen the look on Mary Helen’s face when he told her she was eating barbecued raccoon. I remember that my grandpa always had the biggest garden in the north end of Terre Haute. He labored many days planting and growing the best tomatoes, beans, corn, squash, and later cherry, apple, and peach trees. Then he’d force Rosemary to slave for days in the kitchen putting it up for the winter. But what a treat for us grandkids to go over in the middle of winter and eat grandpa’s fried catfish, potatoes and onions, and the most wonderful home-grown green beans and sweet corn. I loved him for that. He also was a skilled woodworker. My daughter has a beautiful bench that has her name carved in it. My parents still have the potato bin he made at Christmas time nearly 15 years ago. I’m sure some of you still own one of these pieces. Treasure them, and when you pass them on to your kids or grandkids, tell them about their great-grandpa Cob. All of these things we will remember and cherish. Grandpa lived a long life. He only missed his 89th birthday by a month. During his lifetime,the U.S. was involved in seven wars,sixteen presidents were elected. There was Prohibition, the Great Depression, Women’s Sufferage, and the Civil Rights Movement. He watched as Americans put a man on the moon and invented things that have changed our lives: the television, computers, cell phones, and cure for diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and diphtheria. It really is amazing that a human could really live for nearly a century. Kenneth Raymond Lowe witnessed many events in his lifetime and learned a lot of lessons along the way. He always seemed to be a man of few words, so I always listened carefully when he did speak. I can’t say that we were especially close, but I know that I am his descendent and share the same blood as he. My dad always told us that the Lowe blood was special. For me, being a Lowe means being strong, independent, determined, and bold. Oh yeah, don’t forget, good lookingJ But it also means appreciating the simple things that God has provided us, and respecting the land and nature because our existence depends on the land. As his granddaughter, I hope I honor his memory today expressing the things that he had trouble saying himself. I think that if he could, Grandpa Lowe would tell us to grieve today, and watch he body become one with the earth. But when tomorrow comes, we must get up and face each new day and carry on where he left off. If he could, I’m sure he’d tell us he’s happy, and peaceful, and free from the pain of his cancer and the disabilities of old age. I’m sure that he’d say that he made the best decision of his life in 1984 when he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior, and he’d encourage us to do the same so that we can be together again when the time comes. He’d tell us not to bicker and fight because these things won’t matter when we get to where he is. I also know that he would thank Avis, Bonnie, and Jim for caring so mercifully for him during those last days when his family couldn’t. And I think he would ask us to look after his wife, Rosemary, and comfort her and reassure her that, as her poem says, he’ll never be too far away, and they’ll be together as soon as her purpose in this life has been fulfilled. And finally, I think the best way to honor him is to keep in touch with each other and make a better effort stay close to each other and not forget the things that he has taught us. He’d want us to call each other on our birthdays, plan and attend big family reunions in the summertime, send each other cards and letters and visit at Christmas time. I think he would also want us to teach the little ones what he taught us: how to fish, hunt, and garden. He’d like us to plant a fruit tree in the yard, and when it bears fruit, we must tell the little ones about their Great- Grandpa Lowe.

4. Lewis Ennis (N.S.) Lowe, born June 09, 1870 in Riley Twp., Vigo Co., Indiana; died October 13, 1952 in Vigo County, Indiana. He was the son of 8. William M. Lowe and 9. Sarah Ann Dean. He married 5. Julia E. Baker October 04, 1890 in Vigo County, Indiana (Source: Record of Marriages, Vigo County, Indiana.). 5. Julia E. Baker, born September 11, 1873 in Riley Twp., Vigo Co., Indiana; died March 16, 1933. She was the daughter of 10. James Baker and 11. Barbara Lawson.

Notes for Lewis Ennis (N.S.) Lowe: Note from Shirley Churchill June 2009, (granddaughter of Mary Alice Lowe, sister of NS) "I have been researching all branches of my family for over 40 years. It has been an exhaustive process. This computer age has opened up a whole new source of information. I now know that our William Combs was the son of Byram and Miriam (Willis) Combs. Byram Combs was son of John and Ann (Hardin) Combs. He was the youngest of the famous 8 sons. Byram was a very difficult person to track down. He was constantly on the move. I believe now that he married Miriam Willis, daughter of (?) Willis that married Miriam Lewis, daughter of Charles Lewis. You will notice that our Frederick Lowe's middle name was Charles. William and Sarah (Dean) Lowe's first daughter was named Miriam. Your Ennis was named Lewis Ennis Lowe.

The Ennis name comes through the Oliver family. One of Sarah's grandparents was Samuel Ennis and Alice

Marshall. I also think that Elijah Dean's father was Robert Dean who married Laura Oliver. She was the daughter of Abner Dean and Laura Pleasant ( daughter of Samuel Pleasant. I have always felt that there was a connection between the Oliver and Dean families. I am sure I am confusing you. I will try to gather up my information in a presentable fashion for you. It was great to have someone to pass on some of my hard earned information."

Records vary on Ennis' name. Some of the problem is the legibility of census records. His name is shown as "U.S.", "L. E.", "Louis E." and "N.S." The family recall him being called "NS" At Highland Lawn Cemetery, the original records show that N.S. bought 6 grave lots. His name was listed as follows: "Ennis (N.S.) Lowe. Others buried there are Ronald Leroy Muston, infant, 2 years. 7-9-1938 (assumed to be brother of Larry Muston); Rose Marie Riggs (unknown who this is); Edith Marie Mankin, 8-30-38 -- 4-21-39. His wife, Julia is buried there also, as are sons Loral J. Lowe (1898-1917) and Reson T. (1902-1926).

Was living with son Lawrence in Terre Haute when he died.

N.S. was a coal miner.

There was an E. M. Lowe in Riley Twp., Vigo Co. in the 1840 census. Two male children under age 5, one between 5 and 10, male adult between 30-40 years of age. One female between 20 and 30. Could this be N.S. grandfather?

In 1850 census there is a William Lowe in Riley Twp., Vigo County, age 34, farmer, born in Indiana. Lavina, age 31, born in Indiana; Sarah, age 1. Neither parent could read or write. This would probably be Ezra Lowe's brother. The ages would match.

Obituary: N.S. Lowe, 82 years old, R. R. 5, died early Monday morning (October 13, 1952) at the residence of a son, Lawrence, 838 N. 8th Street (Terre Haute).

Children of Lewis Lowe and Julia Baker are: i. Ova Alice Lowe, born May 27, 1892; died September 28, 1977 in Ellensburg, Washington; married John V. McKinstry February 22, 1911 in Ellensburg, Washington; born August 27, 1874 in Ypsilanti, Michigan; died December 13, 1960 in Thorp, Washington.

Notes for Ova Alice Lowe: In a Kittitas County, WA publication HOMETOWN HERITAGE, A Remembered History of 1910, Ova's photo and an interview is published as follows: "Did my grandmother make her own soap? My, yes! She had a big kettle she used to put the grease into- -any kind of grease, mostly hog fat, but beef cooking grease was all right--and she'd get the grease boiling., then put in a can of lye. Some people made their own lye by dripping water through ashes, but a can cost about 10 cents. "When the lye dissolved in the hot fat, you had soap and the longer you cooked the soap, the harder it would set up. Grandmother poured it into molds--a pail or wooden bos--and cut it into pieces, oblong blocks or bars as it cooled. "If shemade bathroom soap, she added a whitener to take away the dirty, gray color, and sometimes she added perfume, too. You've heard of soft soaping people? Well, if you didn't cook the soap very long, you got the most wonderful, smooth liquid--soft soap--which felt so good and was beautiful to do laundry with." Her "grandmother" could have been Sarah Dean or Sarah Oliver. The date of the interview is not given, but Ova looks like she is in her 70s.

In her son's obituary, it states "His parents were ranchers and had large real estate holdings, only to lose them in the Great Depression."

No children.

I need to verify death date of March 5, 1913 which I found on another website. (Why did his children go to an orphan's home after his wife died in 1901?)

Family notes indicate that John Mott was 30 years old and his new bride was 15 years old in 1884. Was this a 2nd marriage for him?

Witness of marriage: H. J. Kemp, Clark County, Marshall, Illinois

The MOTTs in Illinois in the 1830 Census were ELIZABETH county Maso JAMES Hick JOHN Flem JOHN Cald JOSEPH Livi MARY Hick WILLIAM Madi

In 1900 Vigo County Harrison Township Census, John and wife Julia may have been living in the same household as, at least adjacent to, Thomas Fleming (Julia's father). Thomas Fleming 20-80-103 and John Mott 20- 89-105. Date June 4, 1900. Some writing difficult to read. They were living on N, Chestnut St. There is no date of the census on that page, but it is continued from a preceding page which indicated the date was June 4, 1900, George T. Biddell was the census taker.

John Mott, head of household, white, male, born Dec. 1856, age 45, married 14 (?) years, can read, write and speak English. Rents house. Born in Illinois, father born in Illinois, mother born in Kentucky. Occupation, Day Laborer Ernest, son, white male, October 1892(?) age 8(?), single, 0 years attended school, born in Illinois Dolly, daughter, white, female, July 1894(?), age 5, single, born Illinois Lucy, daughter, white, female, February 1887, age 3, single, born Illinois

Vigo Co. Death Index: Mott, Lucy M., F, W, 3, Aug 10 1900 Terre Haute CH-47 9 Lucy would have died 2 months after the census was taken.

Dorothy is known to have been born in 1893; Is she "Dolly"? Flora is known to have been older than Dorothy. Edgar County, Paris, Illinois Marriage records show that Flora was married January 4, 1900 to Ora Wilson.

Notes for Julia E. Fleming: In family notes concerning Julia Fleming, a note says "Julia Fleming, birth 1869, mother 15 years old and father 30 years old. Winess of marriage H. J. Kemp (or Hemp) Clark County, Marshall, Illinois. The note was apparently written by Dorothy Mott, daughter of Julia Fleming, indicating mother was 15 at the time of her marriage to John Mott. (Was this a second marriage for him?)

May have been part Blackfoot or Cherokee Indian. Others say Choctaw. Two pictures are in family's possession, one says "Mom" and the other "Mom's aunt". If Dorothy Mott Lowe wrote this, they would be Julia Fleming and her aunt, most likely Laura Ann Hazen Keith. They look very much like Indians. Julia died at the home of her aunt Laura in Brazil, Indiana. Laura would have been 60 years old. Julia died at almost 33 years old, and the photo looks like the woman is older. The photos look to be much older women, so there is some doubt as to their identity. Could "mom" have been Julia's mother, Arletha Hazen? Arletha's mother's name was Chesser, a known Indian name. The aunt could have been Thomas Fleming's sister, Nancy. Thomas' maternal line includes the Oxendines and Ridenours, known Indians.

Clark County Herald September 11, 1901 "Mrs. John Mott died at the home of Jackson Keith [aunt's house] on Wednesday of last week. Funeral services

11 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe were conducted on Thursday and the remains were taken to the Zeigler graveyard for interment. The deceased's maiden name was Julia E. Fleming and she was almost 33 years old. At the age of 18 years she was married to John Mott, who, with three children, survive her. Death was due to consumption."

Married at age 18 cited above differs from family note that she married at age 15.

Children of John Mott and Julia Fleming are: i. Flora Mott, born Abt. September 15, 1885; died December 01, 1946 in Vigo County, Indiana; married (1) Herman De Baun; married (2) Ora Wilson January 17, 1900 in Edgar County, Paris, Illinois; born Abt. 1878 (Source: Marriage License, Paris, Clark County, Illinois.).

Notes for Flora Mott: Register of Marriages, Edgar County, Paris, Illinois Groom: Ora Wilson, place of residence: Terre Haute; Age next birthday: 22 yrs., White, born in Indiana. Father Thomas Wilson, Mother Ema Griffin, Occupation: Farmer; First marriage. Bride: Flora Mott, place of residence: Terre Haute; Age next birthday: 19 yrs., White, born in Marshall, Illinois. Father John Mott, Mother Julia Fleming. Where Married: Paris, Illinois JANUARY 17, 1900 First marriage. 2 witnesses...(difficult to decipher) Certified by R. W. Bell, M.G.

THIS WOULD INDICATE FLORA WAS BORN IN 1882---6 years prior to what is indicated in her obituary. She probably lied about her age to get married. Perhaps also the family didn't know her true age when she died in 1946.

CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH of her stillborn child on November 4, 1901, lists her age as 16. She apparently was only 15 when she married Ora Wilson. That would make her birth year 1885.

An IGI record with LDS library indicates her birth date as 26 SEP 1885 Marshall, Clark, Illinois. Parents John Mott and Julia Fleming. This is a third birth date I've found. She would have been 15 when she married.

Family reported Flora allegedly ran a house of prostitution on Cherry Street in Terre Haute. She took care of Dorothy and Ernest for a while until authorities had them removed to the orphan's home. Family always believed Flora was married to Herman DeBaun, and related he hauled fruit from the south, perhaps Florida, and sold it on the city market.

So...she originally married to Ora Wilson. Did he die? Divorced? The family always said she was married to Herman DeBaun. The death certificate verifies that she had been married to a De Baun. Can find no records of their marriage or his death.

There is a WW I Draft Registration Card for Ora Wilson, age 30 on June 5, 1917, living near Lake, Indiana (?? Lake Co.??) Also born there. Occ. Farmer, with wife and 1 child, caucasian. Asked for deferral because of dependent relatives. Not positive if same Ora Wilson.

There is a Harry O. Wilson in the 1900 census of Vigo County, age 6, with mother Emma (Same as for Ora), but that is too young. Cannot find Ora in any census thereafter.

A Marriage Certificate was issued to Herman DeBaun and Phoeba May Shattuck on July 10, 1918. It shows his birth as February 5, 1893, present occupation soldier. His father, Stephen, birthplace, Shelbyville, IN. (deceased). Mother Elizabeth, deceased. His bride, Phoebe May Shattuck, white, born in Hudsonville, IL. This is her second marriage, being divorced October 1915. Parents Caleb Starkey (Ohio) and Joan C. Grail (?), Marshall Illinois, both deceased.

In 1930 Vigo County Census, Herman DeBaun, age 38 is shown married to CLARA, age 42. Shows they were married in 1926. So, something happened to Phoeba between 1918 and 1926.. divorce? death? His occupation is listed as a Husker (Huckster?), which matches family's recollection that he transported fruit from Florida and sold it in Terre Haute

When Flora DeBaun Mott died in 1946, she was shown as divorced. So.. she married Herman between 1926 and 1946.

WW I Draft Registration on June 5, 1917, shows birth as February 5, 1895, residing at 421 S. First Street, single, working as a shipping clerk for Howe Packing.

Message from personnel at Group Homes (Vigo County) January 21, 2009 I found both Dorothy and Ernest, both very disappointing absolutely nothing on these children. Dorothy was born July 7, 1893. Ernest was born October 31, 1888. He was brought to the home August 6, 1903 from the Harris home (not sure what that was). He was placed by Mr. James Watts with a Bruce Whitsell and his wife of Lafayette Township March 23, 1904. Ernest ran away from his home September 1905.

He was the son of 16. Ezra Morrison Lowe and 17. Sarah Oliver. He married 9. Sarah Ann Dean October 16, 1856 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. 9.

She was the daughter of 18. Elijah Dean and 19. Malinda Combs.

Notes for William M. Lowe: Dates are from Lowe family Bible in the possession of Shirley Mattox Churchill 2009. The following are accounts by Shirley Churchill, daughter of Mary Alice Lowe.

At the time of William's marriage, he was age 22, and she was 19. He was a farmer and a woodsman.

They had 9 children, all born in Vigo county, Indiana. Their first son, Morrison died in 1861 at age 4; in May of

14 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

1864, just two weeks before her fourth child was born, they lost two more of their children due to scarlet fever. These two children, Miriam, age 3, and Isaac Samuel, age 2, died within a week of each other. Two weeks after their deaths, Sara Ann's baby daughter, Laura was born. This baby died within a month. Sarah came close to losing her sanity. Mary Alice was the first born of their "second" family, followed by four sons, Frederick, Ernest, Ennis, and Horace.

Mary Alice Lowe, married Reason Turner Mattox in November 1883. The couple left Indiana in 1898 to go to Washington state. In 1900, William and Sarah followed them to Washington. They settled in Thorp where they lived two houses away for Mary Alice and Reason Mattox. They were both highly respected in the community and were kind and loving people and staunch members of the Thorp Christian Church. Sara Ann "ruled the roost", according to family members, and William was very easy going and seldom crossed his wife.

Apparently one of Sarah Ann's eccentricies was smoking a pipe and that she enjoyed a glass of sherry wine before retiring.

William and Sarah celebrated 60 years of marriage shortly before her death in 1917 at age 80, dying of a heart attack while hanging clothes on the line. William died two years later at the age of 84.

Obituary William Lowe passed away Sunday morning at his home in Thorp at the age of 84 years. The funeral will take place on Tuesday. The funeral will take place on Tuesday. Mr. Lowe was born in Vigo, Indiana, in 1835 and has lived in Thorp for the past 19 years, his wife passing away just two years ago. He was a life long member of the Christian Church. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. R. T. Mattox of Thorp, and four sons, Horace Lowe of Thorp and Fred L. Lowe of Toppenish, and two sons in the east. The funeral services will take place on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the Thorp Christian Church, the Rev. F. E. Billington will have charge of the services. Interment will be made in the Thorp Cemetery.

The M. in William's name was probably Morrison. It is thought that THOMAS LOWE's children, John W. (wife Ellen Jane), Ezra (wife Sarah), William (wife Lavinia), and Samuel (wife Susan), moved to Indiana

In 1850 Census of Vigo County on November 9, 1850, the following was found: WILLIAM Lowe, age 34, occ. farmer, value of property $500, born in Kentucky. LAVINA, age 31, born in Indiana SARAH, age 1, born in Indiana This is supposedly EZRA's brother.

EZRA Lowe, age 45, occ. farmer, value of property $500, born in Kentucky SARAH, age 36, born in North Carolina WILLIAM, age 16, born in Indiana GEORGE W., age 14, born in Indiana ISAAC, age 11, born in Indiana SAMUEL, age 9, born in Indiana MARGARET, age 7, born in Indiana JOSEPH W., age 10/12 The son William is our ancestor.

(An Isaac M. Lowe died in Riley Twp. age 78, on June 14, 1918. This would be the correct age of William's brother, Isaac.)

An ANDREW LOW was also in Riley Township on an adjacent page to the others: ANDREW LOW, age 30 (38?), farmer, born in Tennessee SARAH, age 19, born in Indiana MARY, age 8, born in Indiana SARAH, age 6 (?), born in Indiana WILLIAM, age 3/12, born in Indiana ELIZABETH Frondale (? illegible), age 18

In the 1840 Indiana Census, only one LOWE is found in Vigo County, that being E. M. LOWE in Riley Township. Probably Ezra Morrison Lowe. Two male children under age 5, one between 5 and 10, male adult between 30-40 years of age. One female between 20 and 30. The children would match the ages of Ezra's children in the 1850 census. There were no LOWs in Vigo County in 1840. It would appear that SAMUEL LOWE, ANDREW LOW, and WILLIAM LOWE came to Vigo County, Indiana, between the 1840 and 1850 census, probably from Kentucky.

Notes for Mary Alice Lowe: The following is recounted by Shirley Mattox Churchill, granddaughter of Mary Alice Lowe Mattox, 2009.

Mary Alice married Reason Turner Mattox on November 25, 1883 in Vigo County, IN.

Reason and Alice lived the first fifteen years of their married life in Vigo County, close to her parents William and Sarah Dean Lowe. They had 5 children, all born in Vigo County. Sometime around 1895, both families decided to leave Indiana. William and his son, Frederick Lowe, went to Florida to explore the possibility of moving there. However, they abandoned that idea. Reason's brothers, William Miles Mattox and Samuel Grafton Mattox had already moved to Washington state in 1890. They wrote letters back to the family encouraging them to move to Washington. So it was, that they decided to move to Washington.

Reason's daughter, Cordia (Callie Cordelia), remembered the trip in great detail She was 12 years old at the time. It was in November of 1898 that Alice, Reason and their children left by train for the great northwest. (Washington was admitted to the union on November 11, 1889.) Reason was 38 and Alice 33. It was mutually decided that Reason would bring his family first and William and Sarah would come later. They had all their personal belongings shipped ahead of them; this included large quantities of canned fruit. Aunt Cordia described the excitement as they started out on their journey. Most of all they were terribly afraid of Indians. However, their fears were needless, for all danger of Indian attacks was over. She told of the great beauty of the scenery, the rolling plains, the snow-covered mountains and the

17 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

beauty of Washington state. They made the trip in 5 days. Aunt Cordia said that she suffered the entire trip of motion sickness and was greatly relieved when they reached their destination.

They were met by Reason's brothers in Ellensburg. The family lived with his brother, William, for about a month. Finally, Reason found a place for them to settle. He purchased a small farm, about 1 1/2 acres in the town of Thorp. He paid $300 for the proerty, which was located directly across the street from the school. Reason worked awhile for the railroad, and then as a farmer, and finally as a janitor of the school for the last six years of his life.

Upon arriving in Thorp, Reason and Alice Joined the Thorp Christian Church and were members the rest of their lives.

Her parents, William and Sarah in the spring of 1900 and lived just a few houses from them.

In January 1923, Reason developed pneumonia. After a brief illness, he died on February 1, 1923 at his home, at age 62. After his death Alice remained in her home. Her brother, Horace, came to live with her to help with the chores. In April 1940, she went to Cle Elum to visit her sister Lula. She became ill and died peacefully in her sleep. She was 74 years old.

Letter from the Medical Division of Veterans Bureau, dated May 28, 1930 "The Chief, Special Examination Division

Special examination is desired in the claim under the act of May 1, 1920, to determine whether or not this

19 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe claimant is entitled to the $72 rate which he is now receiving.

This soldier filed a claim July 18, 1921, and was allowed the rate of $72 from that date. This allowance was based on the statement of the soldier's wife, on that of his son Freeman Baker and on the affidavit of Dr. Chas. M. DuPuy. His wife stated that she had to assist the soldier in dressing and undressing at all times and that if she did not do so, some other person would be compelled to on account of his being so badly afflicted with rheumatism, disease of heart and varicose veins. She stated that he had varicose veins so that his right leg had to be bandaged every day by some person; that it would be impossible for him to bandage his right leg or to dress or undress himself without help.

His son stated that it was necessary that his mother assist his father in dressing and undressing and that she had also to dress his right leg every day on account of the leg being in such a bad condition. The soldier also suffered from rheumatism. He states that the soldier is in such bad physical condition that he must have the aid of some person to dress and undress him.

Dr. DuPuy, after describing the claimant's physical condition, states that he required the aid of some person to dress and undress and to bandage his right foot and leg.

On the strength of these statements the claim was allowed and the soldier has been drawing the $72 rate ever since 1921.

The Bureau has received several communications from Mrs. Lurada Baker in which she states that she is a daughter-in-law of the soldier and that he is not disabled to the extent that he needs or requires the aid and attendance of another person. It is stated in one letter that he attends to his truck and drives his horse and buggy whenever he gets ready; and in another she states that he is the meanest white man that ever drew a breath, and that when his wife died she was covered with bruises. Apparently she claimed that the soldier was sufficiently able to beat her.

It appears that the soldier is about 86 years of age. Of course this may or may not be correct. The soldier may be mentally deficient.

The field representative should carefully investigate the facts with a view of determining whether or not this soldier has been and is still in such a condition that he requires the aid and attendance of another person. Is he able to dress, undress, feed himself, walk about or attend to the calls of nature without aid? If he does require aid, how much?

The desired information should be obtained from physicians, associates and other persons who have been in personal contact with him and who know the facts.

His address is c/o N. S. Lowe, R. R. 4, Terre Haute, Indiana. Respectfully, Medical Referee"

A follow-up letter was submitted by a field representative. He indicated that Luvada Baker was the wife of Harry Baker. Harry and his wife had moved in with James Baker after his wife had died, that they could not get along, and that the "pensioner had to invoke the law and forceably put them off the premises, and that there had been more or less friction between other members of the family and Harry and his wife." At the time of the field representative's visit, James Baker had been moved to the home of "Mrs. Thompson" (Ada Baker Thompson) The pensioner had had a stroke and was dying. Pension question resolved when he died.

Family recalls Jim Baker being "mean". He once became angry and killed all of his chickens. Once he shot a squirrel, and the squirrel became lodged in the tree. He ordered his grandson (Lawrence Lowe) to climb the tree to get the squirrel. The tree did not have any limbs and Lawrence said he couldn't climb the tree. Jim threatened to shoot him if he didn't get the squirrel. Lawrence climbed part way up the tree and fell, injuring his tail bone. It is unknown if they ever got the squirrel.

From the History of Vigo and Parke Counties, together with Historic Notes on the Wabash Valley, by H. W. Beckwith. Chicago: H. H. Hill and N. Iddings, Publishers, 1880, pages 403 to 410.

Riley township is situated on the eastern side of the county, its boundaries being Lost Creek township on the north, Clay county on the east, Pierson township on the south, and Honey Creek township on the west. It contains thirty-six sections of magnificent land, fenced off into large and carefully cultivated farms, and is thickly dotted with handsome residences and commodious farm buildings, while numerous droves of cattle, sheep and hogs roam in rich pastures, the whole forming a picture of taste and wealth unexcelled in the county. The township is well watered by the stream known as Little Honey creek, and its tributaries which flow in a southwesterly direction through it; it consists of equal portions of timber and prairie land, though little is now left of the former but small groves, which have been retained for fencing and firewood.

The earliest settlers located in the timber and upon the highest land, avoiding the prairie on account of its marshy nature and consequent unhealthiness, in fact at that time it was not considered possible that it ever could be settled upon as farming land. The only way in which it could be utilized in their mind was as pasture land. The first settlement within the boundaries of this township were made near the southern line in 1818, when Samuel John and William Ray arrived with their families, being accompanied by John Pierce, Caleb Trueblood, and William Harris. At this time the Indians were still in possession of the country. On arriving here the Ray family erected a kind of stockade to guard against the surprise by their aboriginal neighbors until they got their cabin erected, and slept with their rifles at the head of their beds. On one occasion Grandfather Ray got up in night to look after the horses which were making some noise, and on returning stumbled, and woke his son, William, who, thinking that the Indians were entering the camp, jumped out of bed, seized his rifle and demanded who was there. The old gentleman being somewhat flurried with his fall did not make immediate reply, and William was in the act of pressing the trigger, when the thought flashed upon him that it might be his father or brothers; so he hailed again, when to his horror he found that he had been within an ace of killing his father. The Indians, however, did them no harm beyond frightening them, yet all were well pleased when they moved away, the women folks particularly

27 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe being glad of the exodus, as they lived in dread of some of the children being carried off, two little boys having been kidnapped from the Prairieton neighborhood sometime before [family tradition says one of these little boys was my ggg grandfather, James G. Strain who was recovered without harm].

Soon after 1818 Deacon Jackson and family arrived, accompanied by his son John and his family. The next to settle were Samuel and James Thompson, who arrived in 1822, and were shortly followed by Thomas Green, Isaac Pierce, John Harkness and Ferrill. At a later period arrived the members of the settlement east of where Lockport now stands, among whom were David S. and Nathaniel Lee, John Reece, George Armstrong, Davis Toby, Reason T. Mattox, David Holston, and George and William Brill.

The settlers in the northern division began to immigrate about 1830, among the earliest being John Rector Stephen Hawley, John McGriff, Thomas and Benjamin McWhinney, Joshua and Elisha Wyeth, Martin Bratt and Phillips, the majority of them hailing from Ohio and eastern Indiana. The first deaths which occurred in the township were those of John Ray (uncle to Mr. John Ray, at present residing here) and his son Elias. They had gone to a neighbor's two or three miles off to grind their axes and grubbing-hoes. The day being cloudy and threatening storm, they did not notice that it was so late until darkness settled upon them before they had got far on their way home. The storm of snow and sleet which had been hovering around all day broke at last, and the driving snow blinded them so that they lost their way and wandered aimlessly around until exhausted, when the terrible cold finished the work. Next day they were discovered frozen to death by their sorrowing relatives and friends. We are unable to give the date of the occurrence, as our informant, Mr. Ray, was very young at the time it took place. It was, however, shortly after their arrival here.

Many were the vicissitudes, dangers and privations experienced by those pioneers, often without bread, in fact biscuit or flour bread was rarely seen, while coffee and tea were the rarest luxuries, only indulged in on great occasions, and were articles to dream and talk about. Owing to the distance to mill, and the lack of roads, even cornmeal was a rarity, the greater portion of the time their bread was made from corn which had been pounded in a mortar. The great difficulty was in getting sieves; the best substitute they had being a piece of deer skin, with the hair off, stretched upon a hoop, and punched full of little holes with a hot wire. The finer particles which passed through this were used for baking purposes, while the larger were boiled and eaten like rice. After a year or two they obtained a small grinder which was operated by hand. This was an improvement on the mortar, but at the best was a slow process. The most of the settlers here being religious men, would not grind on Sunday, so Saturday used to be a day of hard work, and the little grinder was kept in constant operation from "early morn to dewy eve" to get enough meal to last till Monday. At that time the nearest mill was twenty-five miles off, and no roads but bridle paths to reach them. The nearest trading point was Terre Haute, at that time in its infancy, and giving no promise that it would ever attain to its present greatness, only consisting of a few log cabins and a log gaol.

The first children born in the township were John Pierce, William McCaw and William Ray, while the first weddings were those of Richard Brock to Ann Maymard, and Felix Evans to Elizabeth Perkins, which occurred about 1822, the ceremony being performed by William, father of Mr. John Ray, who was the first justice of the peace in the township.

Part III (Conclusion)

Charles H. Daniels, identified by Col. Richard W. Thompson as one of 32 Vigo County men who voted for President William Henry Harrison and intended to vote for his grandson Benjamin Harrison in 1892, settled on a Lost Creek Township farm in 1866.

Born Nov. 15, 1813, in Salem County, N.H., Daniels claimed he introduced the threshing machine to Indiana. As salesman for a Dayton implement company in 1833, he exhibited the Endless Chain one-horse thresher to farmers in Union County.

Perhaps the most prominent man identified by Col. Thompson in his report, James Hook was born in Waynesburg, Pa., on July 8, 1815.

A contractor, Hook was selected one of the initial Terre Haute public school trustees in 1853 and built a school at Fourth and Mulberry streets in 1857 at his own expense. Later he was honored by having a public school named for him.

In 1855, Hook was elected mayor of Terre Haute and served one term. During the Civil War, he co-founded a relief association for the benefits of soldiers' families. During his final years, he resided with his wife, Vienna, at 112 N. 17th St.

Arriving in Terre Haute in time to cast his vote for Gen. Harrison in 1836, E. Warren Chadwick eventually became a prominent liveryman after buying small stables on Cherry Street, between Second and Third streets, from Charles Ruggles in 1851.

Born in Licking County, Ohio, in 1815, Chadwick expanded his business several times. In 1892, he was residing at 323 Ohio St., next to the site of his last stable, considered a Terre Haute landmark when it was razed in 1906.

A member of the 16th Indiana in the Civil War, William Lowe was wounded during the battle of Richmond. He was born in Casey County, Ky., on Aug. 15, 1815.

Born Aug. 27, 1815, in Butler County, Ohio, William Wright Bradbury lived in Ohio and Michigan before moving to Riley Township in 1846. Bradbury outlived four wives. Retired from farming in 1892, he operated a fruit stand at Fifth and Wabash.

William Latta was born in Owen County, Ind., on Oct. 10, 1815. Five years later, he came to Harrison Township with his widowed mother. Later, he located in Section 3 of Riley Township and, over the years, expanded his farming interests.

A native of Martin County, Ind., William Perry Witcher was born Nov. 16, 1815. As an infant, he moved with his parents to Clark County, Ill.

29 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe until 1880, when he settled in West Terre Haute.

David Houston moved from Wayne County, Ind. -- where he was born on April 26, 1816 -- to Riley Township in 1832 and became that community's leading wagonmaker.

A native of Spencer County, Ky., where he was born July 23, 1816, Thomas B. Carr moved to Vigo County with his parents on Oct. 29, 1824. Carr lived elsewhere for several years as an adult but settled in Prairieton in 1845. He moved to Terre Haute on March 4, 1854, accepting employment as a clerk in Francis Hulman's grocery.

In later years, Carr worked for Bernard Koopman (boot and shoe business), Leopold Goodman (merchant tailor and clothier) and Max Joseph (clothier). In 1892, he was living in retirement at 406 S. Second St. with his son, Charles, a Wabash River steamboat pilot.

Col. Thompson, the man who initiated the search for Vigo County men who voted for William H. Harrison in 1836 and announced their intention to vote for his grandson 56 years later, was among the most venerated men Terre Haute has produced.

Born June 9, 1809, in Culpeper County, Va., Thompson settled in Lawrence County, Ind., in 1831, where he taught school, was admitted to the bar and was elected to the Indiana House and Senate and, then, to Congress. He came to Terre Haute in 1843.

During his long residency in Vigo County, Thompson was Circuit Court judge, provost marshal of western Indiana military district during the Civil War, secretary of Navy under President Rutherford Hayes and chairman of the American committee of the Panama Canal Co. He served in both Indiana houses and was elected to another congressional term in 1847.

During Thompson's life, he had contact with 16 presidents and wrote several books. He was president of the board of trustees at Indiana State Normal School and active on the boards at Rose Polytechnic Institute and the Rose Orphan Home.

A bust of Thompson is on the grounds of the Vigo County Courthouse.

Notes for Sarah Oliver: In 1850 Vigo County, Indiana Census, Sarah's birthplace is listed as North Carolina. Some family members believe she was an Indian.

Notes for Elizabeth Ming: Information from Nina Mack ([email protected])

From Martha Baker Genealogy: Eliza Ming had two little sisters. One day they were in the woods gathering berries. A woman lured them to her house and fed them poisoned food. The woman knew her son was in the woods to murder a man and she was afraid the children may have witnessed it. This is supposed to be a well known story in Terre Haute and has been told on T.V. in a mystery series.

Ming's lived in Parke Co., IN before Vigo Co. The two boys served in the Civil War, one was accused of being a horse thief. A twin descendent lives in Sullivan Co., IN, the other twin lives in TX, last name Ming.

Notes for Andrew Fleming: According to Loretta Looney, Andrew was born in Canada and went to New York (Yates County NY and then to Long Island), then to Illinois. (There is an Andrew Flemming in Yates County 1830 Census, page 239, Barrington Twp., ID # NY560165382) There was a Samuel Flemming in Ontario County, New York, Canadaigua Township in 1830. Ontario County and Yates County are adjacent to each other, being formed from one larger county. In Yates county, NY, Immigration and Naturalization Records Part 2, D-H, are James Fleming,///8336, another James Fleming///A107, and Thomas Fleming///A107. Need to look up dates.

------

Yates County was a huge area purchased from the Seneca Nation in 1788. In 1790, at the time of the first federal census, Yates County included parts of 3 enumeration districts, named Canadaigua, Jerusalem, and Erwin. By the time the county was split off from Ontario in 1823, the population was nearly 20,000. Yates borders on Canada. This may explain the above story that Andrew was born in Canada. There was an Andrew Flemming (2 mms) in Yates County, NY, Barrington Twp. p. 239.

In Illinois Public Land Records: Andrew Fleming purchased SC land, 4094 acres April 19, 1842, and FD land, 2974 acres on Oct 28, 1850. Andrew J. Fleming purchased SC land, 4000 acres, October 9, 1850.

In the History of Clark County, p. 263: The first company raised in the Black Hawk War was that of William B. Archer: known as Capt. Royal A. Knott's company of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, Illinois Mounted Volunteers, called into service of the U.S. by Governor's proclamation of May 15, 1832. Marched to Fort Wilbourn, Lower Rapid, Illinois river and mustered into US service June 19, 1832. Mustered out August 15, 1832 ( 3 months). Included Private Andrew Fleming, discharged July 21, 1832. (Samuel was married to Elizabeth Poorman. A Daniel Poorman was a 1st Liet. in this Squadron. A Samuel Poorman was a Private.)

The next command mustered in June 19, 1932 and included Corporal Christian Jeffers. Mustered out August 15, 1832.

In 1880 Clark County IL Census, Anderson Twp., page 5 Fleming, Louisa 54 Maria 18 Jasper 12 Alice 1 Per Tina McCauley: Maria is daughter of David Oxendine Jr. and Mary Curry. When Mary died, Maria went to live with her aunt Louisa.

In Clark County Marriage Records, an Andrew Flemming (sic) married Mahala Weaver June 3, 1844. There was a Robert Fleming, m. Sarah Embers, March 26., 1849, married by John W. Hall.

Jeffers information obtained from Mitchell S. Vander Vorst genealogy in Family Tree Maker. Mary Ann Jeffers' (first wife of Andrew?) father, Daniel, may have been born in England, or perhaps New York. He settled first in New York, later moving to Illinois, Clark County. Daniel and Mary Schoonover's children were born in New York between 1806 and about 1820. He is found in the Tioga County 1810 NY Census, but not in the 1820 census. Mary Ann's mother appears to be living with her oldest son, Christian Jeffers, in the 1840 Clark County Census (aged 40-50). Mentioned as a child in will of Daniel Jeffers, probated March 3, 1830. Her sister, Catherine's 4 children were orphaned by 1849 and were split up with relatives. Elizabeth and Martha Jeffers went to live with Joshua and Christina Jeffers Johnson. It is thought that the Jeffers family moved from

This would be Andrew's sister.)

Thomas would have been age 11 on his July 18, 1850 birthday, as shown in the sept. 19, 1850 Census. This would make his birth year 1839. This conflicts with a LDS File which shows his birthdate as 1836. It also conflicts with his death certificate which lists his birth as 1836. In 1836, his mother would have been Mary Ann Jeffers. In 1839, his mother would have been Emeline Oxendine.

Oxendine is an Indian name. Lumbee Indians of Robeson County North Carolina adopted European culture earlier than other eastern tribes. Lumbee oral tradition holds that the Lumbee first moved inland from the coast to what is now Sampson Clunty and then migrated southwest into present-day Robeson County, where they probably arrived by about 1650. Lumbees were among the first recipients of land grants in the area. John Oxendine was among the first Indians in Robeson County to be granted land from the King of England. It is said that the Lumbee are descendants of various native American tribes of the Southeast: mainly from the Cheraws Indians, a Southeastern Siouan Tribe. The Lumbee have historically intermarried with whites of the region. The Indians of Robeson County have been officially known as the Lumbee only since 1953, their name deriving from the Lumbee River. Previously, the Lumbee had been officially designated as the Croatan Indians of Robeson County (1885), the Indians of Robeson County (1911), and the Cherokee Indians of Robeson County (1913).

Children of Andrew Fleming and Emeline Oxendine are: 14 i. Thomas Fleming, born July 18, 1836 in Illinois; died January 16, 1910 in Vigo County, Indiana; married (1) Orlinda; married (2) Linda A.

30. Dr. John Herrick Hazen (Source: Hazen Family in America, T. E. Hazen, 1947, p. 596.), born March 17, 1798 in North Hero, Vermont; died August 30, 1889 in Marshall, Clark County, Illinois. He was the son of 60. Azel Hazen and 61. Lovisa Fletcher. He married 31. Julia Chesser July 26, 1837. 31. Julia Chesser, born Abt. 1813 in North Carolina; died Bet. 1889 - 1894.

Notes for Dr. John Herrick Hazen: Notes from T. E. Hazen Genealogy, page 597

When the war of 1812 broke out, John was too young to enlist, but with a number of his boy friends he formed a well-drilled company for a home guard, as North Hero (Vermont) was dangerously near the Canadian border. Early in 1813 with four companions, he set out for Cleveland, Ohio, and when they arrived at Commodore Perry's

40 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe little ship yard, they were pressed into service. During the Battle of Lake Erie, he was taken on board the Lawrence and busily helped the gunners. He was also with Perry when he shifted his flag to the Niagra. He received a bullet in his thigh. For the service, he applied for a pension in 1882.

When about twenty-nine years old, he began practicing as a botanical doctor and had a successful career in that profession. He settled at Marshall, Illinois in 1860. He was a member of the Methodist church for 50 years.

There are apparent discrepancies in different statements made by John H. Hazen and his children. His family bible gave 1799 as the year of his birth, but he celebrated his 90th birthday the year before he died, when he is aged 91 in his obituary notices. The year 1798 harmonizes better with the date given for his sister Jerusha's birth. To a reporter in 1888 he said he was married to Julia Ann Call, May 9, 1840, but the children upheld the name Chesser and say that their mother was not previously married, though she was brought up by an aunt Berryman. In the 1850 census of Hancock county, Illinois, the age of Dr. John H. Hazen is given as 43, that of his wife Julia as 35, and children as Laura 9, Carlisle 7, Arletha 5, and Charles H., 1 are mentioned. It is agreed that the first nine children and perhaps others who died young, were the first marriage, but Jerome said that his mother's name was Sarah (Lantman) Crawford and that she had a son Steven Crawford, while Mrs. Mary S. (Buell) Jarvis said that Sally Herrick was their mother's name. Jerome said that his parents quarreled and were divorced when he was about four years old and that his mother went to live with his uncle Eri. From other sources it is established that Dr. Hazen went away with his borther Eri's wife, who he had been doctoring, but there is no evidence that he was married to her. After his last marriage, in a fit of anger, he scratched out of his family bible all the names of his first children whom he had left in Ohio, except Orillia, Sophronia and this name was the means of establishing the connection between the two sets of children.

Casey County Kentucky was formed from Lincoln County Kentucky in 1806.

Terry Treple says "Questionable children" are John, Mahon, Andrew, William and Thomas.

Thomas Lowe's will was signed August 24, 1848 and filed in Casey County, Kentucky on Monday, September 2, 1848. Thomas left everything to his wife, Elizabeth Lowe.

In 1810 there was a William LOE (age over 45) with young children, living in Harrison County, Kentucky. Could this have been the Revolutionary War Pensioner mentioned in "Edward Lowe's" notes?

There was also a Jesse LOE in Lincoln County (formed in 1780 from Mason County) over age 45 with 8 children and 4 slaves. In Wayne County there was a Thomas LOE with no information.

Vic Lee (descended from Polly Lowe Lanham and Andrew Jackson Lanham) states: (second hand information) JOHN W. LOWE and wife Ellen Jane, EZRA and wife Sarah, WILLIAM and wife Lavinia, and SAMUEL and wife Susan, moved to Indiana.

October 06, 2003 Historical Perspective Old Vigo County settlers voted for pair of Harrison boys for president in 1800s

Mike McCormick/Special to the Tribune-Star October 5, 2003

As the 1892 presidential election approached, Col. Richard W. Thompson - perhaps the most venerated man in Vigo County history - polled the community to find those who had cast votes for William Henry Harrison in the 1836 and 1840 elections. Thompson was a strong supporter of Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison of Indiana, grandson of the founder of Fort Harrison. His survey revealed that all 31 men interviewed intended to cast his vote in 1892 for former President Harrison's descendant.

Thompson's report, published in October 1892, identified the oldest as 102-year old John Dawson and the youngest as 76-year old Thomas B. Carr.

45 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

Besides Col. Thompson, the roll also included Harry Ross, Henry Smith, James Murphy, Samuel H. Potter, Jonas Seeley, A. Harvey Genung, David S. Danaldson, John Surns, Solomon Franklin, Henry Jameson, Thomas E.F. Barnes, Harmon Blood, Eldridge J. Asbury, John W. Smith, Peter Crim, William Peppers, Asa R. Sommers, Charles H. Daniels, Jesse Lee, William H. Chadwick, William W. Goodman, John B. McCalla, James Hook, E. Warren Chadwick, WILLIAM LOWE, William W. Bradbury, WILLIAM LATTA, William P. Witcher and David Holston.

Born Nov. 15, 1789, Dawson was born raised in Stafford County, Va. He was 10 years old when he attended the funeral of George Washington in December 1799.

In 1805, Dawson relocated with his father to Nelson County, Ky., and, three years later, married Sarah Robinson, the mother of his two oldest children. Sarah died in late 1812 and, on March 3, 1813, he enlisted in the Seventh Kentucky Volunteers during the War of 1812. Dawson served under Gen. Harrison during his Canadian campaign.

After the war, Dawson settled in Newport, Ky., and married Lucretia Bridwell, a cousin of President Washington. The couple raised 15 children but only four -- Martha Douglass of Terre Haute, Hilton Dawson and Eliza Douglass of Sullivan County, and Frank Dawson of Indianapolis -- were living in 1892.

Dawson moved from Kentucky to Lawrence County, Ind., in 1817, where he taught school. He also taught in Orange County, Ind. He came to Terre Haute in 1876 to reside in retirement with daughter Martha at 1715 S. Second St.

Though Dawson, who cast his first presidential vote for James Madison in 1812, was quite frail on October 1892, he still was taking daily walks with the aid of a cane.

A native of Saratoga County, N.Y., Ross was born March 2, 1801. He came to Crawford County, Ill., in 1820, and moved to Terre Haute with his two brothers, Russell and James, four years later. The Ross brothers founded the community's first brick manufacturing firm on the river.

Soon after Russell Ross died in 1841, Harry and James abandoned the brick business and founded a dry- goods store on the public square. Harry retired during the Civil War but remained active, serving several terms on the city council.

In his later years the community affectionately referred to Ross as "Uncle Harry."

Born in North Carolina on Feb. 3, 1803, Smith came to present Sugar Creek Township before Vigo County was created. For many years he maintained a 320-acre farm near one developed by his father, adjoining St. Mary-of-the-Woods, in 1814.

Besides farming, Smith made and sold leather goods, including venison saddles and boots. Henry's 93- year old sister Betsy Hearn also resided in Terre Haute in 1892.

A native of Johnstown, Pa., Murphy was born March 1, 1806. Before locating in Terre Haute in 1876, he resided in Indianapolis, Greencastle and Mansfield. During his youth, Murphy transported pork down the Mississippi River to New Orleans by flatboat.

The father of 12 children by two marriages, Murphy resided at 424 N. Fourth St. with his son Charles, who operated a grocery at 1206 S. Fourth St. Seven of Murphy's nine surviving children were domiciled in Indiana.

Jonas Seeley (sic), for whom the town of Seelyville is named, was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in February 1807, and first came to Terre Haute in 1819.

During the War of 1812, his father's brother joined the U.S. cause. As a result, the Seeleys were deemed traitors and the family's Canadian land was confiscated.

Before acquiring Wood's Mills, a couple of miles east of Terre Haute near the National Road, Seeley lived at Fourth and Eagle streets. The community surrounding Wood's Mill was originally called "Seeleysville."

During the Civil War, Seeley was a captain in the Fourth Indiana Cavalry. He sold the mill in about 1875

46 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe and lived in Terre Haute for awhile before joining his son, Thomas, in Newport. In 1890, he began spending winters in Tampa, Fla.

A native of Morris County, N.J., where he was born June 21, 1808, Genung settled on a farm north of Terre Haute in 1828. Five years later, he married Mary Ming and the couple raised five children. All three sons served in the Civil War.

Potter, a native of Oswego County, N.Y., became a prominent Vigo County citizen. Born Nov. 11, 1808, he disliked farming so, at age 22, he opened a hardware store in Utica, N.Y. After three years, he co- founded Potter & Clark, a hardware shop in Cleveland.

On May 1, 1844, Potter established the first exclusive hardware store in Terre Haute. He retired in September 1865 and sold the business to Simeon Cory and Constantin Mancourt. In his later years, "Captain Potter" resided at 823 S. Sixth St.

Part III (Conclusion) Charles H. Daniels, identified by Col. Richard W. Thompson as one of 32 Vigo County men who voted for President William Henry Harrison and intended to vote for his grandson Benjamin Harrison in 1892, settled on a Lost Creek Township farm in 1866.

Born Nov. 15, 1813, in Salem County, N.H., Daniels claimed he introduced the threshing machine to Indiana. As salesman for a Dayton implement company in 1833, he exhibited the Endless Chain one- horse thresher to farmers in Union County.

Jesse Lee, who resided at 643 Swan St. in 1892, settled in Terre Haute on Aug. 7, 1832. For most of his working life, he was a merchant tailor. Son Alonzo was a conductor for the Vandalia Lines. He was born in Virginia on Nov. 18, 1813.

A native of Vermont, where he was born March 25, 1814, William H. Chadwick settled in Vigo County with his parents in 1836. For many years, Chadwick manufactured sewing machines. In 1892, he still was an active mechanic, residing at 435 N. Ninth St.

Born in Bruceville, Ind. on Sept. 6, 1814, William W. Goodman moved with his parents to Sugar Creek Township when he was 5 years old and became a gentleman farmer. On Dec. 29, 1849, Goodman and 11 others, including his brother John, founded the West Vigo Congregational Society. The parish dedicated West Vigo Church in 1853.

Goodman represented Vigo County in the Indiana Legislature between 1850 and 1853. On May 12, 1873, he was ordained and, when his health allowed, was still called upon to present sermons in 1892.

John Burbage McCalla was born in Nicholas County, Ky., on March 4, 1815. After living in Aberdeen, Ohio, for four decades, McCalla came to Vigo County in 1865 where he was a carpenter. McCalla was still active in 1892, residing at 314 N. 13th St.

Perhaps the most prominent man identified by Col. Thompson in his report, James Hook was born in Waynesburg, Pa., on July 8, 1815.

A contractor, Hook was selected one of the initial Terre Haute public school trustees in 1853 and built a school at Fourth and Mulberry streets in 1857 at his own expense. Later he was honored by having a public school named for him.

In 1855, Hook was elected mayor of Terre Haute and served one term. During the Civil War, he co- founded a relief association for the benefits of soldiers' families. During his final years, he resided with his wife, Vienna, at 112 N. 17th St.

Arriving in Terre Haute in time to cast his vote for Gen. Harrison in 1836, E. Warren Chadwick eventually became a prominent liveryman after buying small stables on Cherry Street, between Second and Third streets, from Charles Ruggles in 1851.

Born in Licking County, Ohio, in 1815, Chadwick expanded his business several times. In 1892, he was

47 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

residing at 323 Ohio St., next to the site of his last stable, considered a Terre Haute landmark when it was razed in 1906.

A member of the 16th Indiana in the Civil War, WILLIAM LOWE was wounded during the battle of Richmond. He was born in Casey County, Ky., on Aug. 15, 1815.

When Lowe and his older brother Ezra came to Vigo County in 1834, they purchased contiguous farms in Riley Township. After the war, William established a small farm in Section 9 of Lost Creek Township, where he resided in 1892 with his son George.

Born Aug. 27, 1815, in Butler County, Ohio, William Wright Bradbury lived in Ohio and Michigan before moving to Riley Township in 1846. Bradbury outlived four wives. Retired from farming in 1892, he operated a fruit stand at Fifth and Wabash.

William LATTA was born in Owen County, Ind., on Oct. 10, 1815. Five years later, he came to Harrison Township with his widowed mother. Later, he located in Section 3 of Riley Township and, over the years, expanded his farming interests.

A native of Martin County, Ind., William Perry Witcher was born Nov. 16, 1815. As an infant, he moved with his parents to Clark County, Ill.

Though he lived in the Wabash Valley for the rest of his life, Witcher did not become a full-time county resident until 1880, when he settled in West Terre Haute.

David Houston moved from Wayne County, Ind. -- where he was born on April 26, 1816 -- to Riley Township in 1832 and became that community's leading wagonmaker.

A native of Spencer County, Ky., where he was born July 23, 1816, Thomas B. Carr moved to Vigo County with his parents on Oct. 29, 1824. Carr lived elsewhere for several years as an adult but settled in Prairieton in 1845. He moved to Terre Haute on March 4, 1854, accepting employment as a clerk in Francis Hulman's grocery.

In later years, Carr worked for Bernard Koopman (boot and shoe business), Leopold Goodman (merchant tailor and clothier) and Max Joseph (clothier). In 1892, he was living in retirement at 406 S. Second St. with his son, Charles, a Wabash River steamboat pilot.

Col. Thompson, the man who initiated the search for Vigo County men who voted for William H. Harrison in 1836 and announced their intention to vote for his grandson 56 years later, was among the most venerated men Terre Haute has produced.

Born June 9, 1809, in Culpeper County, Va., Thompson settled in Lawrence County, Ind., in 1831, where he taught school, was admitted to the bar and was elected to the Indiana House and Senate and, then, to Congress. He came to Terre Haute in 1843.

During his long residency in Vigo County, Thompson was Circuit Court judge, provost marshal of western Indiana military district during the Civil War, secretary of Navy under President Rutherford Hayes and chairman of the American committee of the Panama Canal Co. He served in both Indiana houses and was elected to another congressional term in 1847.

During Thompson's life, he had contact with 16 presidents and wrote several books. He was president of the board of trustees at Indiana State Normal School and active on the boards at Rose Polytechnic Institute and the Rose Orphan Home.

A bust of Thompson is on the grounds of the Vigo County Courthouse.

There is a Samuel L. Flemming married Martha A. Ireson on Sept 20, 1848, Peoria Co., Illinois

There is a Samuel Fleming buried in York Cemetery, Clark County, Illinois, born 1784, died 1877. Also a S.E. Fleming, infant, died 1835. Also, Nancy Fleming, ?-1820 is buried there. Was Samuel Andrew's father? Uncle?

In 1810 Census of Tioga County, New York, there is a Samuel Flemming. Indicates 10010-00100.... 1 male under age 10, 1 between 16-26; 1 female between 16-26. Andrew would have fit into this scenario.

Illinois Public Land Purchase Records Samuel Flemming purchased FD (Federal?) public lands August 23, 1836, July 24, 1852, and July 5, 1853, for a total of 12,000 acres for $5000, and SC lands??? on May 12, 1849, 4000 acres for $1600. Even though settlers lived on the land earlier than 1836, it was not purchased until the government re-settled Indians and sold the land to the settlers. In the History of Clark County, page 426, Samuel Fleming (one m) is said to have settled in 1836. He was a "noted hunter and never lost his interest in this sport until the day of his death." Christian Jeffers also settled that year.

58. David Oxendine, born 1780 in South Carolina (Source: (1) Glen Jones Information, Jonsbakr.ftw 1998 shows David Oxendine born in Robson Co., NC and father was Charles. This conflicts with other source citing his birthplace in South Carolina and father being Cudworth., (2) Pat Kennedy Information, 2010, Shows birthplace as South Carolina, father Cudworth.). He was the son of 116. Cudworth Oxendine. He married 59. Hannah Righenour July 13, 1822 in Crawford County, Illinois. 59. Hannah Righenour, born 1801 in Alabama (Source: Glen Jones Information, Jonsbakr.ftw 1998.); died August 22, 1877 in Hatton, Clark County, Illinois.

Notes for David Oxendine: Peg Kennedy note 2010: We (with Milton Bush) have done a lot of research in recent years and also had several discussions with other Oxendine researchers and have come to the conclusion that David Oxendine was not the Robeson County, NC David Oxendine. If you research him a little further, you will find that he did not ever leave Robeson County, so he couldn't be ours. It appears that our David was from the South Carolina group and his father was Cudworth, one of the sons of John Oxendine who did live in North Carolina.

One little correction. Sarah Oxendine's husband was "Authaniel." He is my direct line, and I have a copy of his papers. Although his name is spelled all sorts of ways in records, this is the correct spelling.

Notes for Andrew Fleming: According to Loretta Looney, Andrew was born in Canada and went to New York (Yates County NY and then to Long Island), then to Illinois. (There is an Andrew Flemming in Yates County 1830 Census, page 239, Barrington Twp., ID # NY560165382) There was a Samuel Flemming in Ontario County, New York, Canadaigua Township in 1830. Ontario County and Yates County are adjacent to each other, being formed from one larger county. In Yates county, NY, Immigration and Naturalization Records Part 2, D-H, are James Fleming,///8336, another James Fleming///A107, and Thomas Fleming///A107. Need to look up dates.

FLEMING, ANDREW State: NY Year: 1840 County: Yates County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Barrington Page: 287 Database: NY 1840 Federal Census Index

------

Yates County was a huge area purchased from the Seneca Nation in 1788. In 1790, at the time of the first federal census, Yates County included parts of 3 enumeration districts, named Canadaigua, Jerusalem, and Erwin. By the time the county was split off from Ontario in 1823, the population was nearly 20,000. Yates borders on Canada. This may explain the above story that Andrew was born in Canada. There was an Andrew Flemming (2 mms) in Yates County, NY, Barrington Twp. p. 239.

In Illinois Public Land Records: Andrew Fleming purchased SC land, 4094 acres April 19, 1842, and FD land, 2974 acres on Oct 28, 1850. Andrew J. Fleming purchased SC land, 4000 acres, October 9, 1850.

In the History of Clark County, p. 263: The first company raised in the Black Hawk War was that of William B. Archer: known as Capt. Royal A. Knott's company of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, Illinois Mounted Volunteers, called into service of the U.S. by Governor's proclamation of May 15, 1832. Marched to Fort Wilbourn, Lower Rapid, Illinois river and mustered into US service June 19, 1832. Mustered out August 15, 1832 ( 3 months). Included Private Andrew Fleming, discharged July 21, 1832.

The next command mustered in June 19, 1932 and included Corporal Christian Jeffers. Mustered out August 15, 1832.

In Clark County Marriage Records, an Andrew Flemming (sic) married Mahala Weaver June 3, 1844. There was a Robert Fleming, m. Sarah Embers, March 26., 1849, married by John W. Hall.

Jeffers information obtained from Mitchell S. Vander Vorst genealogy in Family Tree Maker. Mary Ann Jeffers' (first wife of Andrew?) father, Daniel, may have been born in England, or perhaps New York. He settled first in New York, later moving to Illinois, Clark County. Daniel and Mary Schoonover's children were born in New York between 1806 and about 1820. He is found in the Tioga County 1810 NY Census, but not in the 1820 census. Mary Ann's mother appears to be living with her oldest son, Christian Jeffers, in the 1840 Clark County Census (aged 40-50). Mentioned as a child in will of Daniel Jeffers, probated March 3, 1830. Her sister, Catherine's 4 children were orphaned by 1849 and were split up with relatives. Elizabeth and Martha Jeffers went to live with Joshua and Christina Jeffers Johnson. It is thought that the Jeffers family moved from Clark county in March 1846.

In the Latter Day Saints Family History Library, film #2034426, the record indicates Thomas Fleming, born, July 18, 1836, was the son of Andrew Fleming and Mary Ann Jeffers. ???

1850 Census, Darwin Twp., Clark County, Illinois, p. 219-220 (taken September 19, 1850) 747 Andrew Fleming, age 40, male, farmer, b. New York, Value of Property $150 Thomas, age 11, male, b. Illinois (born 1839??) Nancy, age 5, female, b. Illinois Elizabeth English, 59, b. New York (In "Marriages of Clark County, Illinois", Jan. 10, 1822, Elizabeth Fleming married Amzi English. This would be Andrew's sister.)

Thomas would have been age 11 on his July 18, 1850 birthday, as shown in the sept. 19, 1850 Census. This would make his birth year 1839. This conflicts with a LDS File which shows his birthdate as 1836. It also conflicts with his death certificate which lists his birth as 1836. In 1836, his mother would have been Mary Ann Jeffers. In 1839, his mother would have been Emeline Oxendine.

Could EDWARD Lowe be the father of Thomas (Jr)? The only Lowe in Casey County, Kentucky in 1790 was Edward. One researcher (Jerry Gibson) believes THOMAS SR. and Mary (Holman?) of Virginia were the parents of the younger Thomas. This Thomas Sr. and Mary were married March 20, 1783.

62 Ancestors of Kenneth Lowe

State of Kentucky, Warren County On this 24th day of July 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of the County Court of Warren County now sitting, William Lowe a resident Citizen of the adjoining County of Simpson and State aforesaid aged Seventy seven years on the 17th day of February 1833 – who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 – That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers & served as herein stated. 1St – That he volunteered into the service of the Army of the Revolution from the County of Surry & State of North Carolina sometime in the summer (he thinks) of 1775 under the command of Captain Joseph Philips. He joined the Army for the purpose of quelling certain Scotch Tories who had risen near the “sand hills” in North Carolina under the command of a Colonel McCloud he thinks –There was a Captain Jarvis marched in company with him. He was under no general officer. He belonged to the Regiment of Colonel Dye – as well as he remembers his name. He marched from Surry County to Cross Creek on Cape Fear River. We encamped here for eight or 10 days, till we heard that McCloud had been defeated by an officer named Caswell – as well as he remembers – we were then marched back & discharged. He was only out about six weeks and got no discharge. There was a Captain Good out with him. 2nd – He volunteered again into the service from the same County & State in the latter end of the summer or beginning of the fall of 1776 on a three months tour under the command of Captain William Dobson-- Major Joseph Winston, & Colonel Joseph Williams. There were three other captains along – Captain Good, Mosby, & Cobb, there was a Captain Shepherd, Captain of horse, along also. We marched into the State of Virginia & joined Colonel Christie [sic, William Christian] at the Long Island of Holston [River] – Colonel Christie then took command of the whole – marched thence to a place on Tennessee River called the “Over Hill” Towns. We were scattered about through the Country here a while and burnt many of Indian towns – And then returned home in the winter. We were out on this tour thirteen weeks. He did not receive a discharge. 3Rd – He again volunteered from the same County & State under the command of Captain Minor Smith-- his lieutenant was named Varnil [sic, Richard Vernon] – Major Winston [Joseph Winston] & Colonel Benjamin Cleveland. There was a Captain Guess [Moses Guess or Guest] along. The forces rendezvoused at Bethany or Bethlehem, a Moravian town in Surry County – and marched towards the Cowpens and on our route joined the Virginia militia under Colonel Campbell [William Campbell] at the Cowpens we joined Colonel Williams' [James Williams'] Regiment from South Carolina. He started from the Cowpens under the command of Campbell, about sunset marched the whole night and crossed Broad River at the Cherokee Ford about day light – thence on to King's Mountain. Surrounded Colonel Fergurson [Patrick Ferguson] & killed & took his whole Army. In this engagement Captain Smith was shot through the head but recovered. His Lieutenant Varnil was wounded & died of his wound a day or two afterwards. He spent a day or two here – and then marched back towards the Moravian towns with the prisoners. He did not continue with the Army but went as a nurse with William Hana [sic, Hanna or Hannah?] as a nurse who was severely wounded in the battle, to a doctor and remained with said Hannah till he died. He then returned to Surry County and Captain Smith, not having yet recovered, he marched under a Captain Joel Lewis against some Tories at the head of John's River we followed them to the head of the Watauga River now in the State of Tennessee. Here we overtook them – fired on them, killed one & wounded another – they fled & hid themselves in an adjoining swamp. And we then returned over on John's River again – thence home. There was a Major White in company with us after these tours, but I believe he had no command. He got no discharge. He was out on this tour a little upwards of three months. 4th He again volunteered from the same County & State under Captain William Bostick, he joined a Regiment commanded by Col. Pickens [Andrew Pickens], a refugee from South Carolina – marched down on Haw River near Trolener's [sic, Trollinger's or Trolinger's] Ford-- and was there waiting to strengthen Green [sic, Nathanael Greene] when he required his services. The British under Lord Cornwallis was then in

Hillsborough – While he was yet stationed near Trollinger's Ford the British evacuated Hillsboro & marched on towards Guilford. As they were passing on near where your applicant was stationed in a small skirmish of spies Major M. Lewis was shot through the thighs and died of his wounds. We were beaten back that night from two encampments & were compelled to make a third without fire. The next morning being confined with rheumatism he was compelled to leave the Army. He was engaged on this tour about three weeks. He was not discharged. This was in the winter of 1781, just before the battle of Guilford. He cannot remember precisely the date of his joining & leaving the service. By reference to the fixed dates he has alluded to, he hopes his statement on that subject will be found sufficiently certain. After the war he resided in Surry County six or seven years then moved to South Carolina on Saluda River where he lived 11 years, then to Kentucky where he now lives. He has his birth recorded in his family register, now at home. He can prove a portion of his service by a Mr. Clark but who he has been unable to get to the Court House owing to his advanced age. He forwards to the certificates of Joseph Smith & Zachariah Morris a minister of the gospel. He hereby relinquishes all claim to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. S/ William Lowe [one or more pages of missing text]... the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below and in the following grades: for 34 weeks or eight months & two weeks I served as a private and for such service I claim a pension. He begs leave to present also pursuant to the direction of the war Department the Certificate of Micajah Clark. S/ William Lowe
