Ori.<rln of the Family

No attenqpt is made in these notes to trace the nrultitudinous

Uitchell family back to origins in early Ehgjlish or Scottish history or

to work out in detail the various branches of the family in America.

Sufficient is it for, the preseht purpose to record some account of one

John Hitch ell who came to this coxintry as a boy, unaccoaqp>anied by any

other relatives, who settled in what is now West Virginia and who had many

descendants, forming our own branch of this large family. John Uitchell,

according to his own statement, came originally from Lancashire, Ehgland,

his birthplace having been a place called Dawston. (No such place appears

on even detailed gazeteers of Sigland at the present time. Either this

place has been absorbed by some larger town and so vanished as a separate

village, or there may be some mistake in the spelling of the name, since

it may have been put dovra in John Mitchell’s pension statement by another,

hearing it spoken by him and not written. There are several Daltons in

Lancashire, one being Dalton-in-Fumess, an important sea port town in the

Furness district, some 25 miles northwest of Lancaster. In Cumberland

there is a moderately sized place called Dalston. about five miles south of

Carlisle. The parish register of this latter place has been published and

shows several Mitchell families living in that vicinity. It seems probable

that this was the birthplace of John Mitchell.)

Frocn these itexns on the regiators it is seen that:

Thomas Mitchell lived in Havdcsdale (near Daleton), Cumberland.

He married Feb. 6, 1729, liary Coltherd. (Possibly she belonged to the

Coltherd family of Great Broughton and Bridekirk.) They had children:

* ' 1. Thccias, bapt. Feb, 6, 1728 (bom before p>arents marriage)

He probably married, Nov. 16, 1752, Jane Hetherington, X

2. Mary, bapt. April 2, 1753. She probably married, April 26,

1752, John French.

I 5. Sarah, bapt, Oct. 50, 1755; bxiried Feb. U, 1756.

4. James* bapt. Jan. 25, 1757.

X 5. Matthew, bapt. Nov. 5, 1740.

X 6. Martin, bapt. Dec. 8, 1745,

buried March 21, 1752.

7. VViHiamf bapt. May 1, 1746.

Thomas Mitchell of Hawksdale died, and was b\iried Nov. 16, 1746.

His widow Mary(Coltherd) Mitchell was buried July 50, 1755.

(Possibly Thomas Mitchell who married Jane Hetherington in 1752, may have

died a few years later, as on Feb. 7, 1768, Adam Graham married Jane

Mitchell.) It is thought that the mother of our John Mitchell, bom 1765,

was named either Mary or Jane. The name William is also known to have been

in his family, as the name of his father or uncle.

The Uitchell Family in Virginia

t III I

(l) Rev. John i^itchell,

John^UitcheH was bom Uay 1, 1765, at "Dawston” in "Lancashire,"

England. (From his own siprom statement in his application for a pension.

This year date is also that given on his tombstone.) The place probably

was, more correctly, Dalston, in Cumberland.

The only facts known about his early life are those taken from

the pension declaration and from the inscription on his tombstone. As a

boy he had been bound to a sailor and probably made several voyages, coming

to America about 1774-75. (The tombstone inscription says: "Bound to a

Sailor. Went to W. India & America 1774. Thence to E. India. Thence to

America 1775. Came to Virginia 1776"). r

There has been a tradition in the family that while his ship was

in New York harbor, he ran away from the captain to whom he was bound and

hid for tyro weeks in a clump of bushes, being fed daily by some boy whose

acquaintance he had made. In his Pension record it is stated that he came

to America in August, 1774, and arrived at Yorktown, Va., and that from

there he went to Norfolk, Fredericksburg, and Hampshire Co., Va. in 1775.

At any rate he was living in Hampshire county from about' 1775-76 until

Allgust, 1780, when he was drafted into the militia at Rooney about the first

of that month, when he was seventeen years of age. (On his tombstone the

date is given as 1779 with the additional statement that ho had substituted

in the army in 1779 even before this. The Pension record, in great detail,

is more probably correct.) It seems obvious that John Uitchell must have

been a boy of unusual courage and initiative.

His first service in the anny was in a company of militia raised

from Frederick, Berkeley and Hampshire counties with the object of going to

the mouth of the great Kana'K'ha river and bxiilding there a fort. On the

arrival of the detachment at Staunton however, the men were ordered to remain

there to guard Tories and deserters. This they did until about the last of

October, 1780, when, on the march homeward, John Mitchell was dismissed at

the mouth of Seneca creek, a breuich of thorj^rth fork of the South branch of

the Potomac, in what is now Pendleton Co., West Va. Here, about the 1st of

November, 1780, Mitchell enlisted as a substitute for William Gragg in the

state troops in the continental service and went back to Stamton and

eventually to Richnond, where he was placed in Captain James Pendleton’s

company of artillery, which belonged to Colonel Harrison’s regiment of «

Virginia artillery. The whole command marched to the neighborhood of

Chesterfield Coiirt House, near which they saw the British blow up a powder

magazine and had a small skirmish with the British troops. Mitchell con¬

tinued in this command throughout the winter and spring marching here and

there as the necessities of the campaign demanded. There was a considerable

engagement at Petersburg before the retreat of the colonial troops to

Richmond. Sometime in May General Lafayette arrived with reenforcements

from the North, and a short time later General Anthony Wayne also joined

the army with his comand, and much maneuvering went on through the late

spring and early summer. The 4th of July, 1781 was spent nesir Williamsburg,

Va., and not long after that time, John Mitchell was injured in the

shoulder. By reason of this disability ho was discharged and returned to

Rockingham county, arriving there about the first of August, after having

been in the service about nine months. Ho had not had his fill of military

service, however, and soon after his return he hired out again as a s\ib-

stitute, this time for one Willi am Howe, and inarched in a company of

militia from Hampshire Co, under the cccsmand of Captain Thomas Neal to

Torktown, and was present there during the siege, and witnessed the

surrender of Lord ComYrallls. (It is a tradition that he climbed a tree

to get a better view of the actual surrender.) Afterv^ard Mitchell was

one of a detachment which marched with the prisoners to the barracks near

Winchester, at which place, about the last of November i>r first of

December, he was again discharged, after about three months service. Total

service during the Revolutionary war was about fifteen months (from 1st

of August, 1780 until 1st of December, 1781). ^

After this last discharge, John Mitchell was in Hampshire Co. ^ •

for perhaps a year, where we find him on the Personal Tax list for 1782,

as being under the age of 21 years, but as owning a horse, on which he

was taxed two shillings. About this time he returned to that district

in (then) Rockingham County, near the mouth of Seneca creek on the north

fork of the south branch of the Potomac, where, apparently he had made

friends. More than friends they proved to be, for by the year 1784 he was

married to a daiighter of George Teter, one of the old settlers there, and

was settled himself as one of the permanent resideits of that coemunity.

He appears on that Census of Tithables in Virginia taken in 1784, published

in the Yolme for Virginia in the 1st Census of the United States, in this

district of Rockingham county, associated with the Teters, and as having 2

white souls in his family. Apparently he had been but recently married (no

chiiloren as yet). The date of marriage, therefore, is probably 1785, or

early in 1784. Ills wife was Catherine Marraret Toter, oldest daughter of

bum Hood*6 Mills, the regulars laid in wait for the British, fired \ipon

them, drove them back as affiant understood and killed several of them,

he saw one of the regulars have a red coat on the morning after the skirmish

with several bullet holes in it. Soon after the skirmish the regular troops

1781, the British having been reenforced it was deemed expedient to retreat,

we inarched by way of a bridge on the llaheron(?) river to near Richmond, Va.

from thence we marched to Peterburg, Va. and on the 28th of April 1781 had

a skirmish with the British, the American Troops were forced to yield the

possession of the town to the British and retreated, they crossed the

bridge on the Apporaatox river tearing up the bridge after them, on the same

night reached Chesterfield, Ct. House, affiant was in the engagement and

recollects that considerable firing took place on both sides before the

American troops retreated. On the following day after our retreat to Chester-

.field Ct. Hoiise, Va. we marched by way of the stone cole pits to Richmond,

Va. and continued in Richmond until some time in Uay following when Genl.

Lafayette arrived with about eleven hundred continental troops from the

North at Richmond, Va. Gen*l Lafayette took command of all the troops and

we were marched to Bottomsbridge on the Chickahc/Bhiny river in the Co. of

1 New Kent, affiant thinks at this last mentioned place we continued about

one week, while there the Rev. Ur* Bellmain preached to the whole army,

from thence we marched to the Racoon ford in Orange Co. Va. and at the last

mentioned place we were joined by Gen*l. Anthony Wayne and the troops under

him from thence we marched to some place (not recollected) in Louisa Co. Va.

where the army encamped for two or three days. Khile at this place a British

Spy was hung from thence we marched back to Bottomsbridge near which place

we caught a large British ho35?e branded G. R. from thence by way of New Kent

Ct. House, Va. we marched to the (Court) Ordinarys near Williamsburg, Va.

we continued at this place some time and while there celebrated the 4th of

July, 1781, not long thereafter affiant was injured in the shoulder by reason

Q

In connection with claims of wide spread Pension frauds in

western Virginia, an investigation was carried on of all Pension records

from that region. John Uitchell*s claim and record were found to be

correct and his pension continued.

The investigation of this case by U. S. attorney Singleton in

1854; ' - --- - -

"The foil, is the narrative given by John Uitchell of his age and

service as a soldier in the war of the Rev. to wit. was 71 years old last

February, is a native of Ihgland, came to United States 1774.

In year 1780 was di'afted at Hacq^shire Co. Va. and marched on the

9th of Aug. under Ihsign Everman was destined for the I/outh of the Big

Kenawha to build a fort there, on getting to Staunton, Va. was detailed there

among others to guard tories and prisoners confined in Staunton jail.

Remained there until the last of October or let of Kovember following; On

Ms return heme in the same year went on as a substitute for Rin. Gregg from

Rockingjiam under Capt. James Calverton to Richmond, was discharged in the i

succeeding July, having been in service this ejq>edition he went as a sub¬

stitute for William Howell to Yorktown and was at the captxire of Corrmallis,

went on from Yorfetown to Winchester with the prisoners as a guard, was in

the service 4 months, this is a man of character and Intelligence I am

satisfied that he is fully entitled to all ho draws.

a true cop. “ W. G. Singleton. Nov. 9, 1854

In the Personal property tax lists, first for Rockinghan Co.,

and then for Pendleton Co., John Uitchell appears each year from 1784 to 1805

inclusive. In these lists a man’s taxable estate would seem to bo gauged

hy the n^sabor of horses he owned* In 1784, John Ultchell bad 2 horses

but by the end of this period he was credited with 8 horses, as large a

nuaber as anyone had except wily a very few of the oldest and most prccdnent

settlers in t^'.at region. In the list for 1784, and again in 1785, his name

>-

appears immediately next to that of George Teter, showing that he was living

with the latter, or was his next neighbor. In 1795 and later he is c^JJLed

of ”N.F." (North Fork) and eomatimos "Junr." to distinguish him frcm another «

John Mitchell, of a totally different family who was living in Paidletoa

Co., but in a different section (on the South Fork). In the lists for 1800-

1805, it is stated that he had two males over 16 years of age, showing that

his eldest son George was now growing up. After 1605 his name disappears >

from the lists in Pendleton Co., but does appear in those for Harrison Co.

to which place he reaoved about that time.

Those Tithable lists are preserved in the Archives division of the

State Library at Pichmond. Copies of a few of the lists are in the Clerk*s

office at Franltlin, Pendleton Co. One of the lists, that for 1790, has

been published in l'.!irton*8 History of Pendleton Co.

John Hitchell became, apparently, the ovmer of considerable land

there in Pendleton Co. Probably the first land he acquired was that given

him by his father-in-law, George Teter, on John Mitchell’s marriage to the

former’s daughter Catherine Margaret Teter. Formal deed to this property was

not dated, however, until llry" 4, 1795, at the time when George Teter made

his will and deeded various tracts of land to his older children^ The deed - f • *

from George Teter to John I:3.tch©ll was for a consideration of one pound

(purely nominal of course) and gave title to a tract on the west branch of

the North Fork called Lick Run, on the south side of the Timber Hills, ’ • '

containing 140 acres. The old original deed, with the signature of

George Teter, is in tho ppssesslon of the writer (Joseph M, Kellogg)* It

apparently is in the handwriting of Gavin Hamilton, tho County Clerk at

the tims. (Pendleton Co* Deed Book B, p* 78*)

In the meantime, on July 6, 1780, John Uitchell obtained by

deed frem Andrew Johnson and Elies his wife a tract of 50 acres of land on

the west side of the Hcrth Fork, part of land originally patented by

Johnson, between the lands of George Teter Sr* and Philip Harper* For - -

this he paid 50 pounds. Deed recorded July 5, 1790* (Pendleton Co* Deed

Book No* 1, p* 100*) .

. On Feb, 7, 1789, he located 22 acres on the west side of the

North Fork, adjoining his own. Harpers and Johnsons lands. (Location book

yl, p, 4). This land was surveyed for him on Feb, 10, 1789 (Survey book A,

p* 4); and patent granted on Harch 4, 1795* Va, Land patent book -#51, p*

597)* (This was by virtue of part of an original warrant. No* 9409, dated

Nov, 27, 1781), The land adjoined ”his ovm former Inrd” on the north and

west sides. This former land was probably that obtained by deed fresn Johnson,

though actual date of deed was later than this suivey, (Survey plot follows,)

On I>5C. 20, 1788, John Mitchell had also located 75 acres of

land in Pendleton Co., on the Allegheny mountain near the head waters of

Seneca creek, on the northeast side of his own former land. (Pendleton

Location book #1, p. 2.) This land was not surveyed for him until Sept. 20,

1793. (Survey book 2, p. 54); and patent for it was granted him on Dec. 28,

1805. (Virginia land i>atent book No. 52, p, 180.) This was by virtue of

part of original warrant No. 9409, dated Nov. 27, 1781, and of part of

warrant No. 12442, dated June 21, 1782. His "former land" in this case was

probably the land in the Timber hills given him by George Teter. Survey

plot of this tract follows:

___S]i^_ey for John Mitchell - Sept. 20, 1796

On Sept. 7, 1795, he located 25 acres in the Timber ridge, on

the waters of Ebenaan’s end Hedrick’s runs, adjoining on the southeast side

of George Teter* s land, extendirig to the top of the river ridge or hill.

(Location book 1, p. 25.) This was also by virtue of part of warrant

No. 12442, dated June 21, 1782. He was never taxed on this land, however;

and no patent was ever issued to him. Evidently title to this tract was

not claimed or perfected.

On the Land tax books of Pendleton Co. (yrhich are preserved in

the State Auditor*s office in Charleston, West Va.), John Mitchell first

appears on the list for 1791, when the transfer of the 50 acres to him from

Andrew Johnson is noted. The assessment value is given as L 9 - 11 - 8, and

the tax was 2 sh. 10. In 1796, the transfer of the 140 acres from George

Teter is noted. Value of this tract is given as L 12 - 15 - 0. John _

Mitchell is also credited with the "addition” of the 22 acres patented, at

valuation of L 5 - 15 - 4. These three tracts are then continued on the Tax

lists through 1803, when he disposed of them and removed to Harrison Co.

© The 75 acre tract patented in 1803, then appears and continues to 1814, in

which year it appears as belonging to John Mitchell "of Harrison Co.," a

grant of 75 acres, on "Alllganey," 27 miles northwest from Franklin, the

county seat.

Of these various tracts of land in Pendleton county, the one of

50 acres bought from Andrew Johnson in 1789, lying on the North Fork bottom

evidently was his home property. (Andrew Johnson’s first wife had been

Hannah Henkel, an aunt of John Mitchell’s wife Margaret Teter. The families

in this neighborhood were all closely connected by marriage or relationship.

See Notes on the Henkel and Johnson families.) This land was in a beautiful

location, not far from the famous Seneca Rocks, and below the "Deep Spring"

(opposite where the run from the Deep Spring flows into the North Fork). The

road down the North Fork valley ran throu^ or beside this property, and

April 4, 1796. The grand Jury presents John Uitchell for stopping the

road by his house, and a breach of the Sabbath within 5 raonths

long past, by the information of two of our orwn body: Philip

Fisher and Peter Rupp,

July 4, 1796. On motion of John ?,iitchell - ordered that the road be

established along his fence, and that he open and clear the

same himself,

January 1, 1798. Isaac Teeter appointed overseer in place of John Uitchell,

Also from the Court minute books it is seen that on Oct, 1,

1792, it was "ordered that N. F, John Uitchell do supervise the election

of the North Fork district to be held at George Teeter's." (The election

itself, for Overseers of the Poo^was to be held on Octooer 15th.)

John Mitchell's name appears in a roll of militia for Pendleton

Co., dated Sept. 6, 1794, in Captain YtiUiam Gragg's company (together with

various members of the Teter and Henkel families). This Captain 'Williaitt

Gragg was the same man for whom John Uitchell originally substituted in the

Revolutionary V«ar and was the step-father of Andrew Johnson. He lived up on

the mountain above Seneca Creek. The service of the militia at this time

was in connection with the Tfhiskey Insurrection, so called, in southwestern

Pennsylvania. Not knowing the possible extent of the trouble, the militia

of all the nearby states was called into service in the fall of this year for

a short time. (Mortons Hist, of Pendleton Co., p. 400)

From the election polls cf Pendleton Co. (in an old book there at

the Courthouse at Franklin), it is seen that John Uf.tchell (called N.F. to

distinguish him from the other John Uitchell on the South fork) voted at the

also in 1797.

At a coxirt held in Pendleton Co. on Monday, May 5, 1794, Joyji

Mitchell, together with George Ketterman proved by their oaths the will of

Jxistus Hinkle. This will was dated Nov. 16, 1733, and John Mitchell and

George Ketterman were the witnesses. (Will bock No. 1, page 62.)

At the sale of the estate of Justus Henkel returned and recorded

* Oct. 6, 1794, John Mitchell bought one padr of Saddlebags for 5 shillings, 1

penny. (Pendleton will book #1, p. 73). (Perhaps these were the saddle¬

bags he used on his long circuit riding trips later on.)

At the sale of the estate of George Teter (his father-in-law),

returned and recorded Dec. 4, 1798, John Mitchell bought "1 Black & white

paid stear" for 5 pounds, 9 shillings, and also "1 Red 2 year old stear"

for 5 pounds 10 shillings. (These were the best of George Teter*s cattle,

except for the "Brindle Bull," which James Lee bought for 4 pounds, 6

shillings.)

John Mitchell was the Executor of the estate of one Christian

i^ynecker (who apparently was no relation, and probably a neighbor). The

bond of John Mitchell as executor, with Philip Harper as surety, was dated

Feb. 2, 1802.

Signature of John Mitchell to this bond;

o John Uitchell was evidently converted to J^ethodism, perhaps

through the agency of his vrife’s cousin, the Rev, Voses Henkel, or her

uncle by marriage, Moses ED.sworth Sr., and is said to have entered the

ministry about 1800, even before he left Pendleton Co, Ho later became

one of the most prominent circuit rider preachers of western Virginia and

one of the founders of the Methodist Protestant Church, on its establishment

after the break irith the Methodist" Episcopal Church about 1829, It seems

.probable, however, that John Mitche3J. was a Lutheran, before he became

converted to Methodism, for on the church register of Pine Church, Mt,

Jackson, in records kept by Rev. Paul Henkel, is a "list of those confirmed

in Pendleton Co., the 13th of October, 1789," and among the names of Dieters

and Henkels, all related by blood or marriage, is "Johannes Michel". (See

the Henckel Family News Letter No. Ij July, 1928, pp. 3-4).

After the establishment of the United States, the end of the

\ Indian war on the western frontier and the consequent opening of western

lands for settlement, there came considerable uiirest in Pendleton County and

the determination on the part of many of the people there to seek new homes

and better prospects farther west. Bnigration from the coxmtry during the

1790 years and the early years of the new century became very marked, S<Mie

•families went as far as Indiana and IDJIinois, often traveling in groups of

related or neighboring families. The main trend of travel, however, was

by way of the old Indian and pioneer trails to the Tygart*s Valley river

district in Randolph County and on to the valley of the ^est Fork of the

Monongahela river in Harrison and (now) Lewis counties.

John Uitchell was one who thus made the decision for removal

from Pendleton Co. to better his condition, gain more land, and provide for

his gi*owin^ family. In the late sirnmer or early fall of the year 1805

therefore he with his vrifo and family left; the North Fork and moved over 4

the mountains to the vicinity of Hacker*8 Creek in what was then Harrison

County, Virginia. Before leaving Pendleton for the west John Uitchell

disposed of his land holdings there as follows:

By a deed dated July 2, 1805, John Uitchell and Margaret his

wife sold to Samuel Teter, for one thoiisand dollars, 2 tracts of land on

the west side of the North Fork, "between Conrad’s and Philip Harper’s

lands." One tract was the homestead property of 50 acres, which Uitchell

had bought from Andrew Johnson (tl^e**descrlptlbn'inins: Beginning at a

Hickory tree on the east side of the river at foot'"of High Hill, opposite

the mouth of the Deep Spring Run, thence" etc.). The second tract was that

one of 22 acres patented by Uitchell on Feb. 10, 1789; adjoining the former

50 acre tract on the north and west sides. (The description includes:

"crossing the river to a red oak on Philip Harper’s land comer" etc.).

This^deed was acknowledged by both John and Margaret Uitchell in court on

July 5, 1^5; and it was recorded on that date (Deed Book 5, page 495).

The original deed is herewith attached. v

Tracings of signatures to this deed, dated July 2, 1805.

o On July 5, 1805, John and Uargaxet Uitchell made a aimilar deed

to Jacob Shoulders, conveying, for 50 pounds, the tract of land on the west

side of the North Fork, up on the Ttober hills. This was also acknowledged

in court that same day and then recorded (Deed book 5, p. 495). The number

of acres in the tract is not given in the deed, but no doubt this was the

140 acre tract given to John Uitchell by his father-in-law George Teter.

Tracing of signatiTres to this deed, dated July 5, 1805.

O The other tract of land which John Uitchell oimed in Pendleton

Co. (the 75 acres on the headwaters of Seneca Creek) he did not sell at this

time. It was not until June 5, 1815, that John Uitchell and Susannah his

wife of Harrison Co. sold this 75 acre tract for 50 p>ound8 to Edmund Wiatt

of Randolph Co. Acknowledged in Harrison Co. on June 9, 1815. Recorded

in Pendleton Co., Aug. 1, 1815, (Deed book No. 6, p. 184).

The trip of John Uitchell and his family, with their household

belongings, to the new home must have been made on horseback or on foot,

with pack animals, as there was no wagon road across the mountains at that

4

time. The way lay up the Seneca trail and across "the Roaring Plains,"

down into the valley of the Dry Fork of the Cheat river; then over the

mountains to the Tygarts River valley in Randolph Co., where George Teter

had owned land and where Jacob Teter his son and John Mitchell* s brother-

in-law was then living. Then the trail took its wa7 over what later becaine

*

the Buckauinon road throxigh the hilly country to the valley of the West Fork

of the Uonongahela river.

This valley of the West Fork, where John Mitchell took up his

new home and life, was by that time (1805) a fairly well settled region.

It had eoqjerienced many years of pioneer life and had been the scene of many

Indian depredations, but was now a peaceful and beautifu^ farming country.

Many of the people living thex^ had come originally from Hampshire, Hardy

or Pendleton counties. Some were relatives or friends of Rev, John

Mitchell and the Teter family; among such were Moses Ellsworth Senior end I

his son-in-law. Rev. Joseph Cheuvront who were pioneers among the Methodists

in this region. (Moses Ellsworth Senior had married an aunt of Margaret

Teter Mitchell),

Sane of the bolder, more venturesome, or more restless members of

the older families, becoming tired of the peaceful sort of life now carried

on in the West Fork valley, after the excitement of the years of Indian

warfare, were disposing of their property and moving farther west, to Ohio

or Indiana,

This gave John Mitchell an opportunity to obtain by purchase a

homestead property in the heart of this rather closely-knit community. By

deed dated March 26, 1805, he bought from James Tanner of Muskingum County,

CHiio, for $1535,00, a tract of land on Hacker*s creek, Harrison Co.,

containing 207 acres, (The description of the boundaries of this property

read as follows: "Beginning at a walnut tree on a point of a hill of said

Tanner*s still run, thence S65 WTO poles to a black oak, thence S5 E62 poles

McYihorter, Edmund West and Nicholas Harpole, Acknowledged at the June court

by West and HcWhorter and on December Ist, 1805 by Harpole, it was then

recorded (Harrison Co, Deed book 5, p, 620), As caxi be seen by the accom¬

panying survey plot (from Harrison Co, Survey Book 5, p, 559) this is the

very tract that was surveyed for Jesse Hughes (the famous Indian fighter)

on Jvily 10, 1791, by virtue in part of a certificate for 400 acres in right

of pioneer settlenent, William Radcliffe had been the original settler

on this site but he traded his pre-emption to it to Hughes, From the latter^

title had passed to James Tanner.

Pago 25i ® ^ • k * .

A mrabor of Indian village sites on Hackers Creek, as well as

innuniorable temporary cairp sites, 'tc. Among the village locations

identified is one on the ’’Second bottom** at mouth of Jesse’s Run; one on

the original John Hacker settlement about 1 mile below Berlinj and one

TTithin the limits of the present toYrn of Jane Lew. (These of course ante¬

date the later Indian tribes of historic times, who were merely hunters in »

the valley. Of the later tribes, the Shavxnees were the moat ieportant.

The birth of Tocumseh probably took place here (about 1768), at either the

village site at mouth of Jesse’s Run or the one below Berlin. (Tocumseh

himself is said to have told one of John UitchoU’s dau^iters that he was

bom here. —J.U.K.)

Pago 54:

John Hacker came and built hia cabin (one mile below Berlin) In

the fall of 1739, or early in 1770. Jdin and TTilliam Radcliffo followed

in 1770, and settled not far from Hacker on the Creek. The families of these

men came later, in 1771.

Jesse Hughes had chosen his hone site on his first hunting visit

in 1^39; then in 1770-71, after his marriage with Grace Tanner he built his

cabin there at the mouth of Jesse's Ruix.

Robert Loarthor built his cabin at the mouth of Hacker’s Creek.

Tiilliam Lowther, his son, lived near Jesse Hugjios at first, then moved to

near dorksburg. : - ^ ■ . . . ,

This tract of land on Jiao’s Run hccano Rev, John Kitchell*6

homo farm, and in the private graveyard on part of it ho io buried* It

io situated at the mouth of Jesse's Run (named of course for Jesse Ru^*os),

where it empties into Hacker's Creek, about two miles above the present

town of Jane Lew in Lewis Co* On the property at the time John Mitchell

bought it there was already a large two story log house idiich had been built

by Tanner. On pages 467-69 of "Border Settlers of Korthwestem Virginia"

by L* V. UcYihorter, there is given an interesting description, with photo¬

graph, of this house, which became Rev* John Mitchell's hcc^e for the rest of

his life and in which his son Benoni Mitchell lived afterward. No vestige

of the house is left today; - but there is a giant oak tree just below the

old graveyard, which may well have been one of the boundary black oaks given

in the survey (see photographs). Snith's History of Lerris Co*, p* 150, says

"the settlers who came to Hacker's Creek after 1795 lived in cceg^arative

comfort, oven in backwood's opulence."

Shortly afterwards in 1805 (no month or day date given in the

deed) he bought from Isaac Heagle (and wife Prudence) and George Bush (and

wife Mary) an additional tract of 120 acres, the upper enc' of a tract of 240

acres on Jesse's run which adjoined his own land and that of Peter Hardoan

Senior* At the same time the Icrwer end of this same tract, (containing 120 (

acres) was sold to Peter Hardzaan Junior* The consideration for the entire

tract was 90 dollars* (Harrison Co* Deed, book 6, p* 48). The deed was

recorded at the Dscember court, 1805*

On June 18, 1808, John Mitchell bou^t from Peter Earcfean and

wife Margaret what was evidently this lower tract (now called 119 acres)

on Jesse's Run, "next his own land," for 500 dollars* Recorded June court.

1006 (Deed book 8, p, 75).

Ho aloo increased his land holdin^o in Rarrisoo Co. by original

entry and patent. From Larid liitry Book 2, p. 206, it is seen that John

UitchoU entered 275 acres as part of a Treasury warrant (Ko. 4609), dated

Feb. 11, 1811, on both sides of the ITost Fork above a survey of 555 acres >

for Henry Flesher and John Hall, and extending up sd. fork to David Scott’s

line. Again in Book 2, p. 227, John UitcheH enters 85 acres, as part of L

i

an exchange warrant No, 1986 to Robert Collins, dated Dec. 15, 1808; on

both sides of the West Foric "to include the mouth of the White Oak Lick run

and to extend up both sides of said fork for quantity." Date of this entry

was May 15, 1812. ” ; “

He obtained a survey for those two tracts taken together as one,

cc«itaining 560 acres on Dec. 2, 1812. The land is described as "beginning

at a Hickory and red oak on the westerly bank of the Host Fork, on a line

called David Scott’s line, about 50 poles bolav the first narrorrs that are

below Canoe run, thence" etc. (Harrison Co. Survey book 4, p. 452). Survey

plot follows: Patent for this property, 560 acres, was dated April 10, 1815

(Virginia Land patent book No. 65, p. 16)

On the I^and tax books for Harrloon Co*, John UitchsU appears

to have been taxed on the 207 acre home property first in 1809, At that

time he was also taxed on the first 120 acre tract. The eccond 3^ acres

appears first in 1811. In 1815 he was taxed on the three Jesse Run tracts

(of 207, 1^, and 120 acres respectively) and on the tract on the TTest

Foric (called here of 500 acres).

Cc^ llitchell appears on the Personal Tax lists for Harrison Co.

from 1804 to 1816 inclxisive (except 1006-1807 Yrhen his name seems to be

missing). Lewis Co. was formed from Harrison Co. in 1817 and ho continues

to appear on the lists for Lewis Co. continuously until 1841, when his name

is dropped and that of his Tfidow Susannah appears. . (Of course long before

that time hie children, George, ??illiani, John Jr. etc. began to appear

sej>arately on these lists.) -- -

On the federal Census of 1810 in Harrison Co., that of 1820, and

also of 1850 in Lewis Co., John Mitchell appears, with children given by

ages (so that they can all be identified from the list of children known

throu^ fanily records). '- _

In Randolph County, in that section of the Tygarts River valley,

where George Teter had made an early settlement and where Jacob Teter was

then living, John Mitchell also acquired land. Cki Feb. 24, 1800, ho had

bou^t from Hillian PEilscQ and wife Sarah of Randolph Co., for 50 pounds,

170 acres in Randolph Co., "on the waters of Tygarts Valley river, on the

oast side, adjoining land surveyed for Killian Doakerson, in Barker’s

"S^tlement." (Randolph Co. Deed bo<^ 2, p. 41. There is no notice of recc^)

In 1805 ho was taxed on this property, given an assessed value of 64 dollars

(at 58 cents per acre). In 1809 its value was reduced to 054.40.

(ProbiLbly it waa uniinprored land.) Oa Jan. 15, 1804 John Uitchcll had.

omrrcyed for hinaolf, as assignee of Tfllllaa Wilson, 60 acres adjoining

on the Southirest land of said Uitchcll. (Randolph Snrvoy book #1, p. 261)- • 4 / *

Lend Book for 1805 shcTrs addition of 77 acres - ralus And oa Oct. 6,

}dl5, ho had euTveyod £50 acres (170 of tdiich Trao the land ho obtained frea

Wilson in 1800, and the other 60 acres iras granted to Uitcholl by patent

of date April 8, 1803). (same, p. 515) This land appears to have been

near the present site of Bolington, H. Va.

Oa Oct. 17, 1812, John Uitchell and Susanna his wife of Harrison

- Co. sold to Edmond Wyatt land in Randolph Co., 'Vicxt Jacob Shooks land” for

fl56.50. Acknowledged in Harrison Co. and recorded in Randolph Co. at

Docesnber court, 1812. (Randolph Deed book 6, p. 231). Possibly this was

in the nature of a mortgage, or explains the discrepancy between the 77

acres on the Tax books end the 60 acres surveyed. At any rate John Uitchell

"of Hairioon Co.", or "of Lewis Co." later continued to bo taxed in P^andolph

Co. on 170 acres by deed and 60 acres by patent for a mzaber of years. In

1820, the land (250 acres) is valued at 0^17.50. It is located as on the

East side of the Volley river, 16 miles north of the coisity seat (ELkins).

John Uitchell disposed of this Randolph Co. property in 1853 by deeding it _'V

to his grandchildren. It had been in the possession of George Uitcholl, ¥

eldest son of Esv. John (and father of thsse children) for a number of years

Shortly after John Uitchell*s arrival in Harrison County with

his family, either late in 1805 or early in 1604 his Tiife Catherine Lkirgaret /» « # • .

Teter died. She wae buried oa. the farm there at the mouth of Jesse’s Ena,

but her grave is marked tcd;iy only by a rough stene with no inocrlpticQ upon

it. (Sso statem^t of descendant, W. George Uitchell of Jane how, acd

Fran letter of Rev, Paris L, Bent (with infomation obtained

from Lloyd Washbiim of Goodhope, Lewis Co.):

"Susan*s mother, after her first husband*s death, married a Ur.

Carder. Thoj lived in a house on the spot where Geo. Riff el of Good Hope

now lives.Sxisan lived rdth her mother and biether at the place

mentioned above at the time of the last Indian raid throx:igh that part of the

country, and only escaped being killed by the Rod men by creeping into a

haystack. They shot her dog and killed their cows. The other members of the

family took refuge in the house, and defended themselves with guns, through

port holes, Susan escaped as I have described above,"

Wither*8 gives an account of this later attack on the Carder house also:

"The four Indians who remained proceeded do'.Tn the river (the west

fork), and on the next day (July 25, 1794) came to the house of William

Carder, near below the mouth of Hackers Creek. Ur, Carder discovered them

approaching in time to fasten his door, but in the Confusion of the minute,

shut out two of his children, who, however, ran off unperceived by the

savages and arrived in safety at the house of a neighbor. He then ccsrsnenced

firing and hollovdng, so as to alarm those who were near, and intimidate

the Indians, Both objects were accomplished. The Indians contented them¬

selves Yrith shooting at the cattle and then retreated, and Mr, Joseph

Chevront who lived nearby hearing the report of the guns and loud cries of

Carder, sent his orm family to a place of safety and with nobleness of

purpose ran to the relief of his neighbor. He enabled Carder to remove his

family to a place of greater security, although the enemy were yet near, and

engaged in slaying one of the cattle that they might take with theca a supply

*Cn tho next day a cocqjany of men aosembled and went in piirouit, «

but they could not trail the aava^gea far because the great caution with

which they retreated, and returned without accoepliahing anything."

There were probably three children in the Charles TTashbum family,

cince in the Personal Tax lists of Uonogalia Co., 1782 (pub. in volume for .

Va. in Census of 1790) Rebekah YTashbum had 4 whites in her family. Again

in Harrison Co. 178S, she appears with 4 in family, ^saac Washburn was

certainly a brother of Susannah, and Robert Washburn was probably tho other %

child (marriage bond of Robert Washbiim for marriage Tdth Eve Roy is dated

Sept. 20, 1802, with William Carder as his surety). By her marriage with

Tfilliaa Carder, Rebecca (Lowther) Washburn had several more children. In the

old cemetery at Good Hope, in Harrison Co., is the grave of YTilliam Carder,

who was bom July 9, 1755 and died Uarch 15, 1859. Near by is tho grave of

Isaac Washburn, bom Sept. 6, 1776, died Sept. 15, 1854, aged 58 years and

9 days.

Rev. John Mitchell, by his second marriage to Susannah Wahhbum,

had a nmber of children, until by both marriages ho is known to have had a

total of at least fifteen children (names given below).

John Mitchell, as stated, was a preednent mtasber of the Methodist

Episcopal church in that part of Virginia. Ho was both circuit ridor and ^ . . . «

local preacher. In Raymond*s History of Harrison Co., pago 281, it is -stated f

that Mothodiem could obtain no footing in Clarksburg for cany years,' but ' -

pome 8 or 10 miles up tho West Fork thero was a flourishing society headed by

Hoses KllgffoHh. In this neighborhood was Joseph Chevront, a local preacher

of great usef\ilneoa and much loved by hla people. He was a Frenchmaja and ■ I

was firat licensed to siarry people at the Sept, 1790 tern of court in

Harrison Co, This was of course in the district where John Uitchell cams

to live. As mentioned above Moses Ellsworth was an uncle by marriage of

John Mitchell, and it was on the KLlsworth farm that this earliest Methodist

church in Harrison Co, was built. Rev, John Mitchell probably began • his

ministry even before coming to Harrison Co,, for on his tombstone it says ‘ .1

that "he preached the Gospel for forty years," (Re died in 1840),

In 1819, John Mitchell built on his farm the Harmony Methodist

Episcopal Church, the first built in the Hacker*s Creek settlement. It

was in size about 40x50 feet constructed of hewn logs, with a gallery around

the three sides on the interior which held one-half as many as the main

floor space. It had one door on the long side and rrindows in the gables.

The pulpit was opposite the door. It stood on the hill above the road on \ the site noiT marked by the bronze tablet at the southwest comer of the -

cemeteiy near the present Harmony church. The building was dismantled and

destroyed a number of years ago,

John Mitchell continued to take a prominent part in the Methodist

Episcopal church and members of his family state that at a General Ccnference,

about 18E4, he lacked only one vote of being elected a bishop. He was for

many years a member of the Pittsburgh conference.

About 18E8-50, he withdrew with many others frem the Methodist

Episcopal church, after a long conflict over the question of the episcc^cy,

and*he helped to found the Methodist Protestant chxrrch, Y?ith David H,

Smith he organized the M, p. Society at Rairony in October, 18E9, He then

had built on his farm the first Methodist Protestant church in the state.

the cecietery, on the site of the present small Harmony U. P. church. Ibo

tablet on the maricer in the cemetery confuses somewhat the two churches.

The inscription on this tablet is as follows:

I With the organij;atlon of Lowia Co. in 1817, Roy. John Hitchell

took an iinportant p>art in oivic affairs. He was appointed by the Governor

as one of the Justices for the new county, who gathered at the house of

Rev. Peter Davis at Westfield (later called Weston) on March 10, 1817, and

resolved thenselves into the county court of Lewis Co. (Appointnent as

Justice at that time was presumably for life, and was usually passed on

through certain of the more prominent families). His coomission as Justice

was dated January 13, 1817. At this same first meeting of the Lewis Co.

court, John Mitchell was apjMDinted comndssioner of revenue. Later he was

one of the school cccniissioners, and in February, 1820, he was one of the

cocmittee to submit a plan for the building of the new court house. (From

History of Lewis Co., by Edward C. Smith, pub. 1920j pages 166-67, 175,

416.)

In Smith*s History there are other references to Rev. John UitcheH

as follows:

1 * —-

page 65: Winter season of 1780-81. "Beech fort was used for other purposes

than for defence. The Rev. John liitchell, the first minister of

the gospel cn Hackers Creek, alternately fought Indians' and

shepherded a more or less wayward flock, holding services within

its walls.

There is a tradition that the first school in Lewis Co. was held

in the new fort with the Rev. UitcheH as its teacher. The fort

soon became the social center of the ccorsunity."

page 124: In speaking of the Uothodist church in Lewis Co. "A society was

organised as early as 1783, at John Ricker’s, on Hacker’s creek,

probably by Eov* John Mitchell, but no church wao erected

for several years aftenrard,"

pa^e 152; "The Rev, John Mitchell, first preacher in Lewis Co,, cams

to Stone Coal Ci*oek before the eettleaent had fairly started

and hold meetings in the homes of some of the pioneers.

Soon services were held at regular intervals by the Rev,

Mitchell and the circuit preachers, A class was formed and

a log church erected,"

It is obvious that the author, Mr, Smith, is in error in some

of these statements. Evidently the personality and reputation of- Rev,

John Mitchell was so strong in this section, as to obscure the activities

of earlier Methodist preachers, such as Rev, Joseph Chouvront, and

Mitchell is credited with things ho co\ild not have done, (He was only a

young man in the 1780 years and was living in Pendleton Co, - he did not

come to Harrison Co, to live until 18C5, even if he probably had made

preaching trips there before that date.)

Of course in his capacity as a resident minister, John Mitchell

perfomed many marriages in Harrison and Lewis counties.

The first one rrhich the official records show to have been per¬

formed by him was that of his own son Abner Mitchell to Dorca# Lawson on

Dec, 8, 1812, It is interesting in this connection to note that he always

signed his name with the one L only. This is ^rue not only of these

nvarrisgo records, but also of his pension statement, the marriage bond and

all other dociaamts we have from his hand.

As John Mitchell’s elder children grew up and were married

ho of course irlshed to provide for them as was the custom, in land or

other property. To his eldest son, George l^itchell, he t\imed over the

tract of land in Randolph Co., in "Barker’s Settlimont," and George went

there to live, eoon after his marriage in 1808, Although there was no

formal deed to George for this property, and it continued to appear on the

Randolph Co, Land Tax lists as belonging to John Hitcholl, it must hare

been cjmsidered to belong to George ^itchell, for the Rev. D, P. Mitchell

sj>eaks in a letter of money he had from the sale of land, his share of his

father’s estate, (D. P, Mitchell was a son of George liitchell.) George

Mitchell died in 1821, Actual deeds for this prop>erty are dated in 1855,

and are from the Rev, John Uitchell to his grand children, as follows:

On Dec. 50, 1855 (and Jan. 1, 1856), John Mitchell made throe deeds to his

grandchildren of Randolph Co., one to "Lorentz Mitchael," for $50, land

100 acres on east side of the Valley river bolow lands of Solomon Yeager,

adjoining land of Reuben Teter on the west and Joseph Tetor on the south.

Acknowledged and recorded Febniary term 1856. (Randolph Deed boc^ jfO.2, p, 65).

Another deed from him to Dsiniel Uitchel and Hannah Mitchol, for $29, land, \

76 acres, also on east side of the Valley river, next land of Reuben Teter,

David Holder and Joseph Teter. The Justices swear that John Uitchell

personally acknowledged this deed before them on Jan, 1, 1856 (John Uitchell

evidently was there in Randolph Co, on a visit). Recorded Feb. term 1856

(Deed book Randolph, #14, p, 426), Another deed frea John Uitchel of Lewis

Co. to Joseph Teeter of Randolph (his "step grandson"), 50 acres more or

less, for $50., on west side of land of Isaac Booth and on soxrth side of land

of Lox^ntz Uitchel and on east side of land of Daniel and Hannah Uitchell,

Recorded March 51, 1856. Uitnosses were’David Holder, Moses TTHson and

To Tfilileja Hltoholl, second con of Rer. John Ultchell, wont

dated March 20, 1826, John Mitchell and wife Susannah conroyed, for 150

dollars, land on Jesse *8 Rvn, adjoining land of George Straley, John Cookrsan,

Peter Hardman and George Arnold, excepting freea the tract 4 acres of meadow

hold back by John IJitcholl in reservation diiring his llfo (Lewis Co. Deed

book C, p. 258). In 1827, Willi an Mitchell Is credited with the 2 tracts

on Je8se*8 Run (each of 120 acres) on the Land Tax lists. The land is

described as 9 miles northeast of TToston the county seat, and with the note

"both these tracts conveyed by John Mitchell."

On Nov. 11, 1825, John Mitchell and Susannah deeded to John

George Mitchell appears on the Personal Tax lists for Harrison %

Co. for himself alone first in 1809, (The list for 1808 is missing) He is

credited with 1 horse. In 1810 he also appears similarly. His name is

among those signed to a petition to tho Virginia Assembly dated Dec, 10,

1805 asking for a division of riarrisoa County and the establishisent of a

new coi^y. The names of William and Abner Mitchell are also signed to this

petition. (The signatures are not autographs. These three names: Tfilliam, A f

George and Abner Mitchell are all in the ssuno handwriting. They were

youths, under age, at the time. Froa original petitions - Archives Division,

State Library, Richmond). This petition was not acted upon favorably, and

it was followed by others at different times, especially one dated Doceinber

6-10, 1809, which had a very long list of signers. Finally a similar

petition dated Nov, 20, 1816, is seen to be endorsed "reasonable," reported

and Rill drawn, and Lewis Co, thus came into being early in 1817, Aseng

tho eignore of this final petition for th® fomatioa of the new county were

John Mitchell Senior, Abner Mitchell, John Mitchell Jr., George Cookman,

In the census of 1820 George Mitchell appears in Randolph

Co. with his wife and five children. In the Personal Tax lists he

appears each 7ear frora 1812 to 1821 inclusive. After that date (ho died

in 1621) he does not appear of course, but his widow Mary Mitchell appears

from 1822 until her icarriage to Joseph Tcter in Dec. 1824.

George Mitchell died in December, 1821 (probably on the 16th

of that month). It is said that he died from a hemorrhage of the Ixings

or from a heart attack. He had fainted several times before. This time

he was out in the yard cutting up some fence rails with an axe when he

had the attack. He was brought in^o the house and died a few days later

after being able only to dictate his wishes about what property he had.

His non-^upative will was acknowledged and agreed to on Dec. 15, 1821.

(a non-c\q)ative will is one which is not reduced to writing in the presence

of the maker; one which, on account of unusual circxmstances, extremity of

death, etc., is spoken before witnesses and sworn to by them). It was

conanltted to writing, according to the record, on Dec. 18th, and recorded

at the February term of the Randolph Co. court, 1822. (Records of

Randolph Co. will book 2, page 125) A copy of the will follows:

U

!*•

The Will of George Mitchell.

"I, George Mitchell of Randolph County do hereby make my last

will and testament in names and forma following, that is to say I desire

that all the perishable p>ait of my estate be given to my wife Mary Mitchell

and out of the same estate therefrom all my just debts and fivieral expenses

paid. O

An appraisement of his estate was made on April 12, 1822, and

recorded at the April term of court. A copy of this is attached hereto.

The actual date of death was probably December 16th, as his

son. Rev. D. P. Hitchell says in his diary that hia father died when he *

himself was only 10 months and 10 days old, and ho was bom on Feb. 6,

1821. •‘

George Mitchell’s body was buried in tlio old cemetery (situated

where the town of Bolington now is), frea which place his bones, together

with those of his wife and her second husband Joseph Teter, wore moved

and placed in one toob in the now cemotery near Ccacord church (according to

a statement by Jacob McLean, whoso son helped to move then).

As to George Mitchell’s porconal appearance, not much is knoeai,

except that ho was a tall bony man. Apropos of this the following story * t

is told about him: "An Elder of the Church was spending the night at his

houflo (he was a good Methodist) and Mitchell was sitting by tha fireplace.

The Elder, looking at grandfathers legs, said, I wish you_w}5uld give no

look5j\j at the Elder* a largo flat foot, replied, I will give you an even

trade for your foot to use aa a Johnny cake boordl (Aa told by Sylvanua

Bonnot, George HltcheH’a grandson). Evidently George Ultcholl had a

cense of hiracur, at any rate. It la caid that both he and hia wife were

very severe with the children, often beating them. But of course, this was

quite the custoa in those days. The children however much preferred the

milder parental rule of their later stepfather, Joseph Teter. \

After George IXitchell’a death his widow married as her second

(5) T7illiam Mitchell

. - X • William Idtchell (oon of John), was born in Rockingham (or

Pendleton) Co. In 1787-86. Ho was probably named for William IXitcholl,

the father of John lUtchell. His boyhood was spent on the farm in the

North Fork valley and of course ho removed irtth hl.s parents In 1805-04

to Harrison Co. His nano is among those signed to the petition dated

Dec. 10, 1805, asking for the establishment of a new county. (See notes

on George Uitchell)^ Ho also signed the petition dated Sept. 15, 1809,

asking for restoration of the revrards for killing wolves. (See photostat

with notes on George UitchoU)

Tracing of signature of William Hitchell to this petition

Early in the year 1809 William Mitchell married Elir^both

Straley. The marriage bond, signed by William Mitchell and George Straloy

as surety is dated January 50, 1809. The actual marriage probably occurred

a day or two later. The minister was probably Rev. Phinehas Wells, although

there is no return of the marriage by him. The marriage recoxi book for

Harrison Co. Book 1, p. 114, gives the same date, January SO, 1809. (See

photostat of marriage bond). On the bond, part of William Mitchell’s signature

has been clipped away. v

In the personal tax lists ITllliam UitchoU appears in Harrison

Co* and Lenis Co* continuously frcsa 1812 to 1654 inclusive* He appears

on the federal census for 1820 in Lerds Co* also that for 1850* In 1840

he does not appear of course but Elisabeth hi^chell (his irLdor?) does appear,

with 10 persons in her family*

TTilliam Uitchell acquired by deed froai his father Rev. John

Mitchell the tract of 240 acres of lamd on Jesse’s Run and this became his

h^e place (see notes on Joiin Uitchell)* This apparently was farther up the

stream than John Mitchell’s own homo farm.

- WLlllam Uitchell died in the spring of 1854. Hia will, dated

Dec. 27, 1855, was probated at the June court 1854. In it he speaks of

himself as "much afflicted in body but of sound memory" eto. His wife

Elizabeth is to remain in possession of the estate until the yomjest child

Margaret arrives at the 2Lge of 21 years, and wife is to have one-third of

the real and personal estate during her life. To son Joseph he leaves "the

farm I live on" provided ho pay his sisters one hundred dollars each* After

all debts are paid, and all the children have arrived at full age, then a

division of the personal estate is to be made and after one-third is given

to the widow the remainder is to be divided among "the girls," share aal

share alike. Re appoints his bz*other-in-law George Straley as sole executor*

The witnesses to the will were Joseph "Shouldis", Mary "Shouldis", and

John Uitchell* Will proved at Juno court by the oaths of John Mitchell and

Joseph Shoulders. Signature to the will was by mark:

Abner Hitchell received land (122 acres) by deed froca hla

father Ecv* John Ifitcholl In 1825 («ce notes ca John Ultchell). Thio

farm was farther \q> the TTost Fork valley, cxx the Sand Fork about one

mile bolow the present village of Roanoke. Be had probably been living on m

this land since his caniago, Snith in his History of LcTris Co, says that

ho settled there in 1808, and that for years ho ms tho only settler on

the river from Duvall’s to the mouth of Skin creek. He built a mill and a

daa on his property. He appears in the Census of 1820 and 1850 in Leivis

Co. He does not appear in Census of 1840 having died early in that year

or late in 1859. In the personal Tax li^ts ho appears continuously in

Harrison and Lewis Counties from 1813 to 1859 continuously. In 1840 his

widow Dorcas appears.

Abner Hitchell was also a minister, and the Lords Co. marriage records

show numerous marriages performed by him. (ki Dec. 14, 1824, a petition was

presented to the Virginia Assembly, signed by a long list of people, "in

favor of Abner Uitchell". The substance of the petition is as follorrs:

"We the undersigned beg leave to represent that Abner Mitchell -

is a professor of the Christian religion and a preacher of tho holy Gospel

of God. That he labours in the ministry withoxit asking or receiving one cent

thei*efor. That he travels much over the County of Lewis (where he resides)

and preaches to large congregations. That ho has a wife and an interesting

family of children vrhea ho maintains by honest irdustry and by his precepts

and exacples in rearing his children in the practice of virtuo and belief of

the Christian roligicn. Wa further state that he professes to feel an

Irresistable call to tho oinietry and we are free to say that frea our long

acquaintance with hia (from his youth up) we confide cuch in his statenont.

Tracing of his signature as a witness to a note of Ills father the «

Uev. John Mitchell, dated May 8, I836, giving permission for the

marriage of Elizabeth Mitchell.

Isaac Mitchell married Delilcih (Windsor) Mitchell, the widow of

his brother, Eli Mitchell. They lived on a part of the old Mit¬

chell homestead. Henderson says they had no children; so evidently

the son and daughters all died before maturity.

r • Mr* Joseph M* Kellogg, 936, Kentuo>y Street, LaT7renoo, Kansas*

Dear CouSln Joe;

lour letter of Deoenher 20, reached me the day heforo Chrletnas* The holidays and soise work I am doing for the Veterans Administration, oontrlh- uted to the delay In my reply*

lour letter was a very welcome Christmas present as I had practically given up hope of getting In touch with any of the descendants of Kev. Daniel P# Mitchell* I have had many varied experiences In my quest for information, as you will note if you have the courage to wade through this letter to its conclu¬ sion*

lou are right about the book of poems of Mary Mitchell Bent, published by the Bent brothers* It did fall Into my hands and In a peculiar way but after I did get it, it was filed away and remained doblnant for almost fifty years, or until after World war II*

Back in the early days of this century, a friend of mine from Cutllps, in Braxton County, where I was then living, came home from his school in Cln- olnnati, on a brief visit, and asked mo to go with him to liormantown in Cilmor County, to see a giSrl friend of his with whom he had been corresponding* I had no reason to make the trip but it was a Saturday in Eovember and with nothing bettdr to do, agreed to maka the trip with him* The only mode of travel then was by horse-back or by buggy* Hoads were almost nonex¬ istent too but we decided on the buggy, a ^buckboard", hooked up the team and started out in a snow storm, the first of the season* We arrived at Eorman- town at supper time and put up at the village hotel which was operated by a iir. Boggs* With nothing better to do, I stayed in my room and ocouplod myself with reading* I picked up a copy of the pamphlet men¬ tioned and immediately recognized the old homestead and "Old Harmony Churoh"* YThen Ur* Boggs came in a little later, I made inquiry about the booklet and was told that he had bought;(^rom Rev* Bent ^ust to help him out, that it meant nothing to him and that I oould have.It* I paid him the quarter he said he had paid for it, filed it BWay in my trunk on my return and there It stayed until about 1960, maybe a little earlier, when I began to piece together information in my pos- sesBlon and finding the process more interesting than I had at first anticipated, I oontinued my soaroh*

I was Interrupted by eye trouble in

and entered the Veterans Administration hospital In Martlnshurg, ,77, Va* for the removal of a oataraot from my left eye. In 19 52 a like operation Tras per¬ formed on my Idghtoeye. I served with the Spanlsh- Amerloan forces In the war with Spain, which service, hy act of Congress, made mo eligible for hospitaliza¬ tion* My vision la not as good as It was prior to the affliction but Is much better than the blindness with which I was threatened* I can read some and havo no difficulty in reading what I typo but In all the years I have been operating this old typing machine I have been unable to teach it to do a oomnletely ac¬ curate Job of spelling*

That lends up to your supposition that we axe of about the sane ago* Well, I an ten years your sen¬ ior, having passed my 79th birthday on Hovember 21, last year and thereby hangs a tale*

My mother died In 1894. iily father kept the family together, all seven of us, until his death In January 1900. His funeral was the last time the seven children were ever all together at one time but the six of us still living did have a family reunion on Sunday, Hovember 28, 1954, the first get-together in almost 55-years. One sister who has lived in Kontan- a since 1909 cams east for a visit and was present to help me celebrate my birthday and for the family re¬ union. Another sister living In rhllndelphia was also present for both events* Por longevity we think it a pretty good record; Here is the lineup;

J* A* Henderson Weston, W,Ya* 79 Georgia A* (Bishop) Lewistown, ilon*76 Robert 0* Grafton, W.Ya. 72 Earl 0* Fairmont, W.Ya* 70 Mary 0 (Gerwig) Exchange, W.Va* 68 liuoy S.(HloholB) Philadelphia, Pa 66

My oldest sister, Maud Leo, who died in 1940 would have been 77*

Kow back to ray quest for Information about de¬ scendants of the Rev* John Mitchell* After I had as¬ sembled all the Information then at hand, I condensed it and published the condensation in one of our local County papers, closing with a request that any desoond- ant who might see the article get In touch with me* I received numerous letters hut still lack some direct oontaot with one or two members of the first sot of children* One old gentleman, a Mr. Ilinear, olalmed that one of his anoestors married a Fanny liitoholl but it

-seems th^t she was not a daughter of tl^ Rev* John but probably a granddaughter and her marriage sponsored by the Rev* John. That is a detail not yet cleared up*

^uite natxLrally in my quest for inforr^ation about my mothers family, I beoame interested in the Henderson branch of the family tree.

iy father always claimed to bo ’'Sootoh-Irlsh" and while I was in the Veterans hospital, a gentleman from Virginia, just behind me in line for lunoh oall, said to me, "I‘11 bet you are Schotch-lrish"• I admitted my fathers claim to that distinction and as^ed him if It "stuoi out"# His reply was that;"the Scotbh-Irish were not Su-U. j t m ..iVL Irish but Scotsmen who had followed "Honnie-Prinoo Charlie" got liol:ed, fled to France and not liking it there, came back to Ireland and settled in the five northern counties, which malie up the pres¬ ent Protestant area of that land."

I knew that two of my fathers brothers, and John Henderson, twins, had migrated to Hissourl way back, but I had never seen or had contact with ei¬ ther of them or members of their families. Uncle John died childless but uncle Highter raised a largo family, so I wrote a letter to "any descendant of Highter Hendersony enclosed it with a note to the Post i^aster, Georgetown, Ho. and at the same time mailed the letter you received. The letter to George¬ town# l>o. came back marked; "Ho such office in state named". I pigeonholed it and there it remained for the next six months, but in a clean up I found it and redirected to Sedalia, Ho. and in about two weeks had a reply form A# C# (Jake) Henderson who says he is the youngest son of Highter Henderson. Jake has promised me a visit—in fact he was to come about the first of November with a daughter who lives in Paducah, Kentucky, but had to postpose the trip. Our corre¬ spondence has been interesting.

How your letter comes completing that part of the picture but leaving much yet to be done.

To your charge of getting Interested in family rather late, I‘11 have to plead guilty and your ad¬ vice to confine my research mainly to my own branch of the family, is good, but it is Interestlrg to browse about in the family garden.

lou mention the old homestead. I was familiar with every foot of it. i^y boyhood homo stood on one corner of it, the Dr. Isaao liltohell home, which came to my father and mother for oaring for his widow, aunt Dellla Kitohell. I have a hazy recollection of her at the time of her death, nothing more.

In 1896, I think it was, my grandfather deeded the old place to the children of uncle "Dick" John A Hltohell, and in return was to receive care for himself and grandmother during the remainder of their lives. After their death the old log struuturo which had ser¬ ved Rov. John and his numerous progeny for so long and 80 well was torn down and a cottage built on the site.

This portion of the old homestead, Inolndlng the oottage hunt on the site of the old log home.^i:^ fell to Ivy I^ltoholl Thompson, who Is the only living member of John A. Hitohell's family. The ueorge liltohell and jDsnonl xiltohell,^7hich you mention , were brothers to Ivy Hltohell Thompson,. v

As so often happens, the children of uncle "Diok" who heoamo ovmors of the farm, disposed of their holdings and strangers took over, inoluding the family burial plot. The fence rotted away. All of the monuments wese toppled and trampled, many of them brohen, even includ¬ ing the one at the tomb of the Rev. John. Then, a few years ago, a group of descendants got to gether, formed an association and contributed funds with which to pur¬ chase the cemetery plot. This was done and the plot fenced. It was cleaned up and some plantings made but much remains to be done and will be done as funds are available. The old tombstone was broken but drilled and had a metal plate bolted to it and is now stand¬ ing* I have recommended that it be encased in a oon- orete slab with a glass oover at the front. A more enduring monument would be a structure enolosing the graves and preserving what remains of the monuments.

If I knew the date of your visit to this part of the country, I might tell you of my whereabouts at tho time. Except for three years—24 to 27 I have been a resident of Weston sinoe June 1907. l!y father moved his family to Braxton County in 1891 when I was 16, but except for the winter school months, most of my time was spent in the vicinity of the old homestead in various employment available in the oommunlty. In 1897 I tried my hand at teaching and in 1898 enlisted in the End W. Ya. Yol. Inf. for the duration of the Span!sh-Amerloan War. I was mustered out in April 1899 and again taught but later quit the teaching pro¬ fession to engage in the lumber ind\iBtry in which I continued for many years but finally ended my employable yeeirs in the glass industry.

In 1917 I married Eva li* Dodge. Four children were born to us. One^ Barbara Lee, died in infancy. Her twin brother, John Joseph, lost his life in the invasion of franoe in World War II. lly daughter, Jeanne Dalro, Bonnett, lives in Clnoinnatl and has given me five grand¬ sons. Hy youngest son lives in Clarksburg and has two daughters. That briefly is my immediate^ family history. There is inish more I oould write you but my letter is already muoh too long.

If you oan find the manusorlpt mentioned and will loan it to me I will greatly appreciate it.

In the meantime may your Lew Year be happy emd pros¬ perous.

Laurence liitchell was evidently a young man of promise, active

in public affairs, but unfortunately he was taken sick and died, in

Barbour Co., probably of consumption, in the spring of 1843. His will,

dated March 5, 1843, was the first one to be recorded in the new county

of Barbour. In it he vdJled one dollar to each of his brothers and sisters

and the rest of his estate to his wife. Apparently Laurence and Drusilla

Mitchell had no children. A copy of the will is attached hereto.

The widow Drusilla (Rohrabaugh) Mitchell later married Philip

Wolfe of Preston Co., and she lived there in Preston Co. to an advanced

age. Philip Wolfe, (bom 1794, died 1877),'was the son of Augustine Wolf

(bom 1768, died 1844) and his wife Mary E. Cook. (Axigustine Wolf was a

son of Jacob Wolfe Sr. and a brother of the Jacob Wolfe who married

Christina Whetzel, sister of the famous Indian fighter Lewis Whetzel.)

Philip Wolfe had also been married before, to Christina Miller (bom 1797,

died 1844).

The land which Laurence Mitchell owned by the terms of his

Dec. 20, 1841.

(22) Danlol Patrick Idtcholl

Daniel Patricl/llltcholl (con of George^ John) was born at t

Earkera Settlenent, Randolph Co., Va., on Feb. 6, 1821. Ho rms named

for hie mother* a father and \mcle, Patrick and Daniel HeCann. Tfhen ha

waa leas than a year old hia father George UitchoU died, leaving hia

widow with six children all under twelve years of age. So it was not at

all strange that she soon married again. Her second husband, Joseph

Tcter, became the only father whoa Daniel Patrick ever knew.

As a boy ^Dan" was a great reader (influenced no doiobt by

the example of his stei>-father). It is said that he often used to stay

up all night studying. Apropos of this the following story is told. •

Once, at the time of the great meteoric showers, possibly Kov. 15, 1855,

the folks next day were all talking about it and asked the family if

they had seen the "shooting stars" and they said no. Then Hannah turned

to her brother and said "Dan, did you see them?" Tou must have been up,"

and he replied, "why yes, I saw a lot of extra light and stars blinking,

etc., b\it I thought it was Just the stars breaking for day." (As told

by Uary Bennett Hagler, daughter of Hannah Ifitchell Bennett).

" ” As a young man Daniel Patrick Hitchell signed the petition dated

Doc. 20, 1841, asking for the formation of a new county, (see photostat

and notes under Laurence Uitchell.) As can be seen he used, as always

later, this abbreviated fora of hie name.

petition dated

llary Jano Hitchell, (dau, of Uilliaa, John), rras born cA tho old

Mitchell hcasstead on Jesso*e Run in l/owie Co. Va. Dec. 15, 1819. She grersr

up thoM in Lctrle Co., and raarried, coeqxiratively late, on Nov. 11, 1856,

Janes B. Bent. The cerenony was performed by Rov. Henry R. Bonnot at Joseph

Mitchell's residence (as stated on tho Lerris Co. records, Bock 5, p. 7.

James B. Bent is described as a farmer, aged 52, bom in Prince William Co.

Va., son of Delaney and Keffe Bent. Mary J. Mitchell's ago is given as 56.)

Soon after their marriage they moved to Gilmer County, where they spent the

remainder of life. ’ . . • ,-•*. * -1^ ' •

Mary Mitchell Bent was a trocan of much more than ordinary intellect

and rare piety. She helped to establich the Methodist Episcopal church in

the comaiunity there in Gilmer Co. While her school advantages were quite

limited, yet she had so applied her mind to study that in the estimation of

her children and neighbors, she tras a veritable encyclopedia of general

inforEiatioa. Her knowledge of current history, her fai^iliarity with the

Bible, which she had read through by course more than fifty times, and her

ability to recite frea. memory the old hymns of the church, excelled that of

any wcenan of the ccsmiinity. She composed many poems, the best of which have

been gathered together and published in a fnrall bock by her son, P^gt. 0. W. * Xk

!

Bent. This also contains a brief genealogy of tho HitchoU family, descend¬

ants of the Rev. John Mitchell. (Published in 1C04 at Ecnrrocd, W. Va.)

Mary (MitchoU) Beat died Juns 22, 1891. Her husband. Jamas Bent

died in_1894

I,IS. L B. EEICGG DSj'iD,

Mrs. Lyinaa B. KellofTK dlM »t S;30 o'clocK last nlgbt, after an 111-• IM«38 extending over a number of- montba. Her death bad been mo* | menUrlly expected for hours, and j came after almost twelve hours of ^ unconsciousness. During the closing t days of her Incurable sickness she! had suffered much, but the suffe-* [ ing left her toward the end. ai^^ her death—like her life—was peac^j ful She was surrounded by her husband and children, brothers and ^

Bisters, and the remarkable clarity of her mind enabled her to recog¬ nize them as they arrived at her bedside. Dr. Charles B. Mitchell came yesterday afternoon. after ghe had become unconscious.

Jennie Mitchell was born March 4. isr«0, in Coshocton, Ohio. She was the eldest daughter la a family

of eight children. Her early life took h^r into many towns of the states of the Middle West, as her father's profession demanded fre¬ quent moving. She de\"eloped that studious bent of mind, which so marked her later life, when but n child, and she w as an inseparable ^ companion of her father—who was noted for his logic and deep men¬ tality. While attending seminary, she was married In to Benton P. Arthur, at Beaver, Pa. Mr. Ar thur w’as in bad health at the time of their marriage, and five years later died in Brookvllle, Pa., his former home. After hla death, Mrs Arthur, who later became Mrs Kellogg, came to Kansas to live with her parents. Daring the eix years ske remained w'lth the fam¬ ily, Mrs. Kellogg taught school. The Mitchells lived in Leavenworth. Topeka and Fort Scott during that period, and later In Emporia.

Mrs. Kellogg was the dauglUer of tho late Rev. and Mrs. D. P. Mitch ell. Mr. Mitchell was a Methodist preacher and vras prominent In Kansas political affairs In the slx-^ ties and sbventles. He dedicated, th*e First Methodist Church In Em porla. In June 1864, and was pastor of the FlrsL-Church of Leavenworth in the later sixties. He waa noml Dated for governor of Kansas, at the state convention in Em;k)rla Julyj 3, 1878, by the National Greenback' party. Mrs. Kellogg’s, brother, the Rev. Dr. Charles B. Mitchell, of Chi cago. Is one of the feremoat Metho¬ dist mlnlatev* and lecturers of this country. For years he was pastor of the'Grand Avenue Metb^tat Church of Kanraa City. Tbs sisters are Mrs. George Guernsey, of Independ¬ ence; Mrs. J. K. Eckdall. of Emporia;

6

Mrs. C. H. Aull, of Omaha, and .Mias Devo Mitchell. A.nothcr broth¬ er. Joseph T. Mitchell, lives In Wash¬

ington state. She was married to Judge Lymau

B. Kellogg June H, 1878. ^ Their lhrc«e children are Charles Kellogr. of Santa Rosa, Calif.; Jonoph Kel¬ logg. of Ithaca. N. Y.. and Miss Mary Kellogg, of Emporia, A year ago Judge and Mrs. Kellogg moved to California, whore Judge Kellogg’s sons, Vernon Kellogg, of Ix^land Stanford University, and Fred Kel¬ logg live, hoping to make for them- eelvea a home In a milder climate. Mrs. Kellogg’s health failed, and she underwent an operation for cancer which seemed successful. But the affliction returned, and early this year the Kelloggs returned to Kan¬ sas. that Mrs. Kellogg might be with her friends aj- home until the last.

Mrs. Kellogg was n pioneer ejub woman of this state, and one of the most active Kansas ever has known. Her unusually strong mentality m.ade her work especially valuable She was a member cf the old Social Science Club from its organization In 1881. This was the first women 6 literary club in Kansas, and was the forerunner of the Kansas Federation cf Women’s Clubs. In both of which organizations she was for many years a leading and Influential raem- ber. She was elected president of the Social Science Club in 1^89. serving tv^o terms, and in 1895- 0 6 was president vf the State Federation of Woman’s Clubs, which had replaced the Social Science Club. She was vice-presi¬ dent In ’94, ’96 and ’97. ancf served on many committees. Some of the beei work of her life waa done in the Ottawa Chautauqua Arfiemblies, In which she had charge of the C. L. S. C. round table for several years. In 1 89 8 she went to Boulder, Colo., where she did similar work In the establishment of a Chautauqua. .She was the only woman who waa ohoaen president of both the Social Science and the State Federation.

Mrs. Kellogg was one of the first Kansas women to he admitted to th^ bar, and for years waa & partner with her husband In the firm of Kellogg & Kellogg. When Judge Kellogg was elected atto<rney gener¬ al of Kansas in 1889 she became bis assistant, and together they waged a relentless war In the eTcrrt to en¬ force th# prohibitory law. Judge Kellogg wa* tbo- firet attorney gen¬ eral to attack this class of law¬ breakers, such work having been left

to the governors before that time. ’The fighl for law enforcement caused hl3 defeat In the next election. Mrs

OTcry possible occasion. She was the orily wemaa assistant attorney gen-, eral of Kansas,

For nearly twenty yearn Mrn-' Kellogg was Identified with locaJ club work, having her membership In the Junto. She waa Its president from 1906 to 1908. aqd many, times a member of Its board of _dl-’ rectors, helping to plan Itr- pro-, grams and fts ranny actlvlUos, Also, ahq was one of the organizers of the Fourth District Federation of Women’s Clubs, and ono of Its most earnese promoters. She was president of the City FMleratlon of Women’s Clubs for a term—or per¬ haps more—and did much for-tk»

—welfare In that organlzatloo. The funeral will be held tomorrow

afternoon at 2 o’clock In the First r'ongregatlonal Church. The' ser¬ vices will be conducted by President •loseph H. Hill, of the Normal, ar/ilst- ed by Rev. R. H. Mize, of the Episco¬ pal Church, and Rev. J. H. J.

a hotue-maker. Sh* reared' auccess- fully flv« children, - These children are of exceptlonaj character and ability, as would be cxpocted of Buch a mother. Her home was more than a place to eat and sleep. It was a center of cultural Inspiration for her family and her friends. Andj with all her other Interests, her home was her first care. It 'grew in pon^r for good as her life widened. Her life was an Irrefuta¬ ble answer to the charge that as the Interests of women grow broader their home activities become narrower.

But Mrs. Kellogg’s Interests were wide and her sympathies deep. She practiced law with her husband. She was a founder aiAl leader of

"the club woman's federation move-1

ment in Kansas; she helped In the traveling library cause, giving her time and money without stint; pcrved on -the local library board; led in the work of the City Fed¬ eration, of which she was president reveral years; was foremost In the club life of the Junto of Emporia, which she helped to found In the years when clubs were rare In the ^ycst. In city affairs and in school affairs, where women have a vote, Mrs. Kellogg was a leader; always Bcnslble, always reasonable, always effective, slic became a power for good In this community. This! power she extended by example and ; by hard work from the town to the • state. No other Kansas woman has done so much as she to bring the standard of woman's Influence to its present high plane In Kansas as Mrs. Kellogg.

Taking a large view of her life, considering the children she, has reared, the home she has ere-j ated, the sphere she has occupied,! the life she has enjoyed, the beauty

^ of soul she has developed, she the most Important woman the

I \ye8t has grown. And yet In It all . and through It all the gentlest,

kindest, most loving mother, sister, ~w1fe and friend In the world. The

woman lost nothing," while the

world gained much. She passed out of the life Into

whatever further existence may be in store for us. with becoming grace and fortitude. It is unthinkable that such a soul Is iiot an Imperishable part of the spiritual adjustment of

this universe.

Club Women I Have Known.-1. •Their hiKher Instincts kiifw

Those luve Truth best, who to Uieciselves are true.

And wl>;il they dare to dream of dare to do.” —Lowell.

This Is cot so much a biographical

prpr today as it In the story of a move¬

ment. It Is only the first half of it that

Is told. The other half will come in the

next Issue—a continued story you see.

Kihlch may have ns much as three or four

•“halves” to it before Its ‘'flnl.'h.'*

Last winter 1 received a letter from a studious club sister somewhere in Kan¬

sas. tayirt: ••De.ar Mrs. McCarter: I have to write

a paper for my club on Kansas club women. Please tell me the names of all the prominent club women and give me W biography of each.”

That was my busy day and I couldn t do It. But If my friend l.as her ear to the ground she may hear some of these names and a bit or two of blograpliy thundering down the ages through the columns of a great priiuins pii ss. I-or

, It U of this club story a.-; u. state move¬ ment that 1 am wrltitiK. and somewhat of the women who mode it.

Some years hence tlie club movement in Kansas will furnish a great theme for a historian’s pen. It may not be amiss to say here, that pending that lime, the writer Is trying to make ready material. As official historian of the Woman's Kan- s.as Lay Club for the >enr of IS'JS. 'and OK chairman of the Kansas history de¬ partment of the Tojieka fciltralion, 1 am urging clubs all over the state to send, in manuscript or printed form, to the State Historical Si'cic-iy a brief history of their own organization. When, where, 'and by wliom organized, nanit*. charts members, purpose, line of study, work accomplished, present membership and any other Interesting data, motto, flow¬ ers. etc. Also I urge that pioneer women Id any line will send their photographs to the State Historical Society to he pre¬ served there. 1 hope every club woman who read* this will Pee to it that h-jr _ club's itory is sent in promptly and that the promiiicnt women of her club, or ^ Pioneer wom< n of her vicinity have photo- | Crapiis s»-nt to the State Historical .vluse- um. This is lm|K/rlanl. Uo not wal'_ And now to my story.

In the year IsSo. In I-«avenworth. there was a nieetlrg of the organization that had hud It* beginning In the Social Scl- fince Club of Kansas and Missouri. Of this Social Science Club much Is to be written, but that smother story.

In May of 'l*5. then under the admini¬ stration of Mrs. 1-aura E. Scammon to whom the Middle West clubs owe much, there was created a state federation for Kansas under the rather burdensome ar¬ ray of te.'ms for w'ntch K. 8. 8 8. P. was the simbol. By ar.d by an 8. was lost In making a charga. and then the whole term shifted to K, P. W. C.

At the X-eavenworth wrMlon, Mrs. Jen- j n\e Mitchell KellCfj wwe cTaJSrfl tue prei-1 Ident. Mrs Kellogg le the wife of LymooJ Be'cbcr Kellogg of Emporia. H*t fathc.-, . Daniel P. .Mitchell, wrj a pln.ieer Mrtho-j dist prcaehei In Kanraa. Hln daughter a i ewrly year* were apent after f.ae manner j of any Methodst preacher s rntld. Much shifting from p'.sce to -isce. Many strangers at tho board. Much compulsory form lor the sake of apiiearancri, ro doubt. Bi.d many Ittll# dullra that were to be the forerunner of greater ones.

Jennie was a bright child with a pene¬ trating mind and a disposition to take matters Into her own hand*. There was as much ml’chlef ss saintliness In hen make-up, and the ability to make lile i Ictrrestlng. and an attractive personality. ' presence, or whatever It may be called. 1 •were hers. WltbaJ, she was handsome. I with that pleasing permanent kind of good i looks that means more than beauty and lasts even through old age.

■With the basis of a Christian home In¬ fluence combined a Ju.-^t estimate of the worth of things leading In later years to a wholeaomo unconventionallty, a sane view of the Important things of life. If 1 have any power to estimate causes that produce known results, tl'.ese are some of ' the elements that have entered Into the make-up of th* Mrs. L. B. Kellogg whom

I know. Put at the head of a new and promising ^

Woman's movement In her state. Mrs. | Kellogg took hold of the most difficult j jear. To her work she brought her i jT.ciilallty, her analytic penetration, her cense of humor, to save the day. her 1 ability to make life Interesting and her i attractive personality. She brought, al.so. her Christian spirit of good will and her 1 broad commonsense view of .life. She did | not figure on any personal monument I building, or having her own name sounded j to the echo, nor on controlling the office ' longer than the twelve months assigned to her. Whatever th* state federation may have to suffer from the personal am¬ bition of Us leaders In future years, noth¬ ing of this entered Into Its foundation. Carefully, modestly, sensibly, gracefully, Mr.s. Kellogg set an example for the fed¬ eration, holding what was given to her charge, rather than seeking In It* new¬ ness to extend her kingdom.

I remember the meeting of IStv? at Topeka. Mrs. Kellogg's training had been In the Boclal Science club, and Us gen- tilnenes* and high ideals were reflected j In her. I was In the rear ranks, where I eeem to belong still, and I looked up

. to her as a model. She rounded out the federation’s first year with good j order, programs and good feeling. Olad would the body have been to return her for a second term, but she refused the honor, and stepped back among the ranks. R l.usy, ■willing worker tnere. Bui J*' . Kellogg Is more than a club woman. To her husband In hs profession, both In high official slate positions and In hi* regular law practice she has been a true help-meet. When .Mr. Kellogg was the At¬ torney General for Kansas, his wife, a* j Assistant Attorney General, having a wo¬ man’s ability in legal matters, filled the j responsible place with credit. I

Of her home life, and her work as a ! mother and companion to her chlUlren. too j much of good can barely be said. The 1 atmosphere of the Kellogg hr'm.e where Ih.ls club wom.an Is the ruling genius Is Ideal. Comfort, many luxulrles. culture In art, music and Ilteiature. a genial spirit of hospitality and a sweet home love all abide here, and above them is the crowning gloo' of any home, the spirit of Christian faith. Mrs Kellogg la a believer In higher education, of roiirie. I-eland Stanford, jr.. university ard Cornell unlversltj- have each bad a son of hers for a student. 81.e Is the mother of thiee children. The ohiest one Is now In the Governor’* office In the

Stale house. The daughter. Mary. Is at Some In Emporia, and the poungrit child IS a tenlcr In Cornell.

.Such U the oriide picture of a prominent club woman 1 have known.

I regrwt to have no photograph of her thi* week. In return for a little favor ihe asked me rerently. I demanded her picture for the historical library. As f.irnest of her intentions she sent me a little blue print taken at the door of KateApllr.gton'a tent In the Council Grove

i:?

fhautauqua. * promptly embezz’ed’ the ipv ar.d p.vsted It In my paper weight.

1~ lr«. Kellogg la a woman the years do 1 t rob. She belongs to "IfKW und now,” tj.d the alway* will. To the student of

jUien and women her Influence is clearly •een as It reaches out from the fireside .nto the busy life about her. She will al¬ ways have a part In t'le club hiieiory of Ihe elate, for right well and strong ahe made It.

In J'vlcmoriam SARAH ELIZABETH CI ERNSEV

Each l’rr>itlenl (Irnrral makes her own peculiar ronlrihulion to the National

S>riety. E'cry Dau^thter of the Ameritan Revolution owes a debt of appreciation

to the late Sarah Elizalieth (’.uern>^-\. Honorary President (General. It was she who

firs! reali/eil that for a Siciety with a broad program of service to progress its affairs must l>e conducted. n..t as a s<n ial organization, iiiit accord’ng to principles

of strict business management. That the .National Siciety ha« Ix-en able not only • to weather all storms of depression, but also to increase its activities and •.st-fulness.

has lieen due in large measure to Mrs. (iiiernsey’s vision. h>resight, and courage. 1 he soiinilness j.f jt^ policies will lx- the S'cietvV niemorial to her.

SsRAH (itiKBiN RontKT, /Vevu/enr General.

Sarah F.lizabeth tMitilu-lll (iiiernsey was Imm in Salem. Ohio, Si'pteiulwr l.d,

186(1, anil moved with her parents to Leavenworth in 186.'L She was graduated from •the state normal mIiooI at hmiHiria. whence 'le went to Independence to teach

M'hiKd. There she met and married (ieorge Thacher (iiiernsey anil lived continually

in Independence until her death. Eebriiary 28. lM.i9. .•\fter serving as regent of Esther l^iwrey (ihapter, which she helped organize,

and as .''tate Regent of Kansas for nine coiwciitive years. Mr«. Ciuernsey was elected

President Oeneral in 1917, at a time when the Sieiety was confronted liy many

iirg«-nt iwoblenis and the Nation had just entered the World War.

I'nder her administration the number of the .National Committees was reduced and their work eonsididated; the Magazine was returned to a siibss-riiition liasis after it had been isMjed free to all paid-up members at a cost of thousands of ijojlars;

the erection of the .\dniinistration Building was authorized by her last (jmgress, in

1920; Memorial Continental Hall was renovated; and the notes on the land in the

rear of Continental Hall were i>aid off. All this was done, besides organizing the

many line.s of war work of the ."society, buying Liberty Bonds. sup[Hirting French orphans, and giving a waterworks system to the devastated village of Tilloloy in

Eranee, which was voted and the work begun. On her retirement she was elected

Honorary President General, and again served as Slate Regent of Kansas. .Mrs. Giiernsey was admired and lieloved by countless Daughters. Her services

to our Socie‘y were outstanding. She was capable and forthright. oiitsjMiken and frank, kindly and thoiiglitfiil toward the sick and sorrowful, strong, vigorous,

patriotic, religious, with great strength of determination and executive ability. The ntemory of Sarah Elizabeth Cm rn~ey will ever remain in the hearts and minds of onr mendiers, a living monument to her life and accomplishments.

,Avm. Rim.krs .Minor. Honornr\ Presiilent General.

Tlie parents of .Sarah Elizalieth Mitchell, Rev. Daniel P. Mitchell and .\nn

Eliza Baker—Ixith of Revolutionary stoek- -gave her an interest in all that related

to the welfare of the L'nited .States. Sxui after lu-r marriage to George Thacher Guernsey she Iwgan participating in tiie rivic activities of her town. Travel and

study at home prepiared her for an ever-widening sphere.

The safe solution of the problems which confronted her while she wa« President General of the National Societv, Daughters of the .\merican Revolution, proved her

to 3 eourageous and conseientious worker possessed of a keen mind.

In Decenilier, 19.'f8. sfif had an accident which resulted in a broken hip, and the verdict was that, though she might in a measure recover, her activities niiist be

curtailed and she would lie an invalid, (ian we, her understanding friends, richly

as we measure her presence, selfishly wish h.er bark to face such a fate? Her part

in the drama of life is finished. She departed it surrounded by a devoted husband, a loving son and daughter, and amid the heartfelt sorrow of many friends.

Each year the solitude of broken “frii-ndships” calls anew the sweet communion meniorv brings with the thoughts of our loved ones, memories fragrant with friend¬

ships that have influenced our days and plans. siiH have the essence of the

distilled flower ttiat lingers long after the golden calyx that produced it has faded into nothingness, ^e still have the silent influence.

Her nio-t fitting memorial is the imperishable love and respect of those who

knew her and worked with her.

Mary H. S. Joiinsto.n, Treasurer General under Mrs. Guernsey.

"She 'vas one of the Incorpcra- ! tors and the first president of the ^'atlonal Society Daughters of the

^American Colonists. For six years she guided this new patriotic so- rielj which was organized to pro- motq patriotic educ.itlon. conser¬ vation. and the preservation of

, colonial recorda prior to 1776 ■’Locally, Mis. Guernsey was at

one time president of our school Ito.ard. and president of The Lo¬ uies Library .Xssocialion. She was our outstanding Regent of the Esther Lowrey Chapter D- A. R.

: "In Washington. D. C . she was a prominent member of the Na¬ tional Society of Patriotic Women of .\merlca, and the National Council of Women's Section of the N’avy League. For three years she was President General of the

; Daughters of the American Revo- I lutlon. Mrs. Guernsey was thor- ’ ough in all her methods, and \ served the causes into which she

entered with high endeavor.

Homa Ties Strong i "In a llfe*^ so full of public inffcr-

esla. itlll her greatest love was ‘ for her husband, children, brother, slaters, and all home ties. Her character, her Intellectual attain¬ ments. her fine taste in music and art. and her prominent associa¬ tion with large movement*, made Mrs. George Thatcher Guernsey one of the great women of our state and of our country.

"All crowd around you. Sarah Elisabeth, like sisters round a sister, like children round a moth¬ er, to bear witness to your worth.

"Until the sll<*nce fell upon us, we did not entirely i ppreciate how largely your ^oice was repeated In the echoes of our own hearts.

"The members of the Daughters of the .American Colonists, whose labori you were ever ready to cheer, whose merits you loved to prorlsim. tinlte to bring an endur¬ ing memorial to you, and offer their salutations and praise In a full chorus of respect and affec- tion.-

Polntlng out that It was Mr*. Guernsey’s love and reveience for the principles and precepts of those early Colonists that made h^r a leader In all movements seek¬ ing to Improve conditions In the little town where she fiist^ caniu as a teacher. 22rs. Blttm'..a paid tribute to Mra. Gaemae/'v^t a

. \

perpetustor of the American way. the rafe-guardlnr of freedom. "She waa a member of the Daughters

.1 of Ui:. Patriotic Women of Am’rica, L*stei-n Star and she also served s* a trustee in that great educational movement, the Chautauqua Institute.

■’But the large part of her Iti- tercst and endeavor was in the .National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A

■'Charter member of Esther Lowrey chapter, she served as regent In its formative years. She was elected slate regent In 1909 and served until 1917 and again from 1921 to 1929.

"In 1917 .Mr.«. Guernsey wss elected to the office of President General of tlie National Society and gave three years of outstand¬ ing service. Coming into the. presidency at a most critical time in our affairs, she brought order and efficiency to the office and soundly e.«tahlished the business of our order and our general well being. French Village Reatored

"She gave generously of herself and of her means. She traveled much In the furtherance of our growth and made two trips to France to Inspect and supervise Ihe restoration of Tillaloy. a French village destroyed during the World war. Thi.« village was restored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. For this Mrs. Guernsey was decorated by the French ambassador and com* mended hy the Queen of Belgium. Many fine tributes came to our society for the various patriotic, i^ducatjonal and humanitarian ac¬ tivities that were part of our pro¬ gram in her administration.

■’Her clear thinking .and keen insight w'ere of great value during those terrible dajs. We were all steadied and guided through a rational program that -strength¬ ened and uplifted us.
