Near White Hall, Nemaha county, Kan.; September 7th, 1871, Mother Gillett, aged 83 years, 10 months and 24 days. Mother Gillett was born in Massachusetts, October 13, 1787. She was married many years ago, in the state of New York, to Elder John Kilmer, who was a preacher in the Church of God, and by whom she had ten children, from whom have sprung seventy-nine grandchildren, and forty-two great-grandchildren. This good old mother was formerly a Methodist, of which church she was a member for twenty years, during the period of her life, but for the past twenty-seven years she has been a member oof the Church of God. Eleven years ago, she, with her husband, Father Gillett, emigrated from the State of Michigan to the State of Kansas, where, among her children, she has since resided. Being a firm believer in the doctrine of the Church oof God, and possessing much of that faith which was once delivered to the saints, she now, by her godly walk and chaste conversation has taught all her children to embrace the religion of their mother's God, and lived to see some of her grandsonns standing on the wals of Zion, proclaiming salvation, through Christ, to the children of men. Through all these long and weary years, She has led a useful Christian life; She was a kind and loving mother, A good, a wise and faithful wife. Her long pilgrimage is ended, And she has gone to join the best; But sweetly memory yet is bleeded With all her good deeds of the past. Funeral services at White Hall school house by P.K.

| 17 | AMOS ELMAKER KAPP was one of the leading citizens of the borough of Northumberland for over fifty years. In his day he was undoubtedly one of the best known men in central Pennsylvania, particularly in the period preceding the advent of the railroad, when his connection with stage lines and canal packets, as a member of the firm of Kapp & Calder, gave him an unusually wide acquaintance. He was one of the most enterprising residents of the borough, being the organizer of the First National Bank, a director of the Northern Central Railroad Company, a member of the lumber firm of Kapp & Co., and in many ways identified with important interests of various kinds. Mr. Kapp was born Aug. 27, 1809, in Harrisburg, Pa., son, of Michael Kapp, one of the pioneers in the mercantile business at Harrisburg. Michael Kapp was born Aug. 1, 1770, in Schaefferstown, Lancaster Co., Pa., and died at Harrisburg July 1, 1830. He owned valuable property in Harrisburg, upon what is now the Square, and there did business until his death. He brought his goods from Philadelphia by team. Mr. Kapp married Mary Elmaker, who was born May 13, 1776, daughter of Leonard and Elizabeth (Baker) Elmaker, and died at Harrisburg Oct. 28, 1844. Two children were born to this union, Catharine and Amos E. The daughter, born Feb. 8, 1799, was the first pupil to graduate from Linden Hall Seminary, at Lititz, Lancaster county. She never married, and was very well known in Harrisburg, where she remained at the old homestead until her death, Sept. 18, 1880. Amos E. Kapp was born in Harrisburg in a building which stood in the northwest corner of Market square, adjoining the present "Bolton House." He spent his early years in his native city, which he left Dec. 30, 1832, for Northumberland, making the journey by stagecoach. He passed the remainder of his life there. Immediately after his arrival, on Jan. 1, 1833, he took charge of the stagecoach business there, becoming identified with the famous old line which carried passengers up and down the river. Forming a partnership with William Calder (2), under the name of Kapp & Calder, he built up a large business. They had two offices, one in Harrisburg and one in Northumberland, Mr. Calder looking after the Harrisburg office, and in addition to carrying passengers did an extensive business in hauling from Philadelphia to central Pennsylvania, having as many as one hundred horses, the best that could he obtained. When Mr. Kapp came to Northumberland the stagecoach was the only means of transportation, and he and his partner not only ran stages but also packets on the canal, following this business until they were bought out by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. There were few men in this section who witnessed so much of its progress as Mr. Kapp, and there were few who had more to do with its opening up and advancement. He organized the First National Bank of Northumberland and served as its president; he was identified with the Northern Central Railroad Company for many years and served as one of its directors; he was active in the lumber business as president of Kapp & Co., and deeply interested in the agricultural development of his State, serving as president of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society. Mr. Kapp purchased two hundred acres of valuable land in Point township, adjoining the borough of Northumberland, and there he made big home, dying on that place Sept. 22, 1887. It is a very fertile tract and under his management was kept in a high state of cultivation. He kept registered Jersey cattle, and in many other ways displayed his advanced ideas in agricultural lines. The original house on this farm known as Hummel's Inn was built in 1799 and repaired in 1852. The barn was built in 1851, and at the time of its erection was the largest barn in the State, being 100 by 50 feet in dimensions. Mr. Kapp retired from active life in 1875. On Feb. 16, 1841, Mr. Kapp was married at Sunbury, by Rev. Mr. Fisher, to Margaret Wighington, who was born Dec. 10, 1818, in Mifflinburg, Union Co., Pa., daughter of George and Catharine (Youngman) Wighington, and died END OF PAGE 22 June 13, 1868. She was the mother of the following named children: Clara M., Amos F. (deceased), Horace F. (deceased), William C. (deceased), Maggie (living in New Jersey, widow of Samuel Trump; she has one daughter, Margaret), Laura (deceased in infancy), Helen, Mary B. (wife of Frank L. Sheppard, of New York City, general manager of the United Railroads of New Jersey), Bertha (who is married to P. Leisenring and has one son, Frank), Annie (living in New York City), Cameron (deceased). Though over half a century elapsed from the time Mr. Kapp left Harrisburg until his death, it was his custom to visit his native city yearly on the anniversary of his departure and spend the day with his friend, William D. Boas, of Harrisburg, who had accompanied him to the coach when he set out to seek his fortune up the river. He was active and energetic to the close of his long life and interested in the events of the day, the social and political changes which had taken place during his mature years affording him much pleasure. He was present at the inauguration ceremonies of sixteen different governors of Pennsylvania, and as six of them served two terms each he attended twenty-two inaugurations - a record which few citizens of the State can equal. The Misses Clara and Helen Kapp lived upon the home farm just outside of Northumberland until July 20, 1909, when they moved into the borough, having sold the old place to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the property being very desirable for yards, which were established there in that year. The station known as Kapp's, on the Pennsylvania road, was named for the family. The Misses Kapp are members of the D.A.R. and active and prominent in the social life of the borough, being very hospitable and noted entertainers. | Kapp, Amos Ellmaker (I56)

| 18 | Elizabeth Scudder 31 July 1625 – February 1690 • 9MPZ-W9X?? https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9MPZ-W9X ========================= Life Sketch CAUTION: PLEASE READ ALL. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS ELIZABETH WITH HER 1st COUSIN OF THE SAME NAME AND NEAR AGE. FOR ARTICLES ABOUT ORIGINAL RESEARCH THAT LOCATED HER CHR RECORD & BIRTH FAMILY, PLEASE see https://scudder.org/elizabeth-scudder-born-1625-biography/. See also genealogical database entry for her and articles at scudder.org. Also READ Jane Fletcher Fiske, "A New England Immigrant Kinship Network," "The American Genealogist," volume 72, (1997): 285. Some other sources that have been attached have errors for the immigrant generation and their common English ancestor. This Elizabeth Scudder was christened at Strood, Kent, England,1625, the daughter of John Scudder and Elizabeth Stoughton. He was the son of Henry Scudder, yeoman of Horton Kirby, Kent, who made his will 29 September 1594. Elizabeth married Samuel Lathrop in 1644 at Barnstable, Mass. She and her famous husband were recently deleted from this system because of being merged with a invalid version of her and then replaced by her cousin. They are now restored according to primary and credible sources. Please do not override with online trees and gedcoms because they usually contain errors and sometimes override relationships and accurate sources carefully in place. Please review the article by Jane Fletcher Fiske, "A New England Kinship Network," The American Genealogist [TAG], volume 72, (1997): 294-297 that also helps to distinguish Samuel Lathrop's wife from her cousin of the same name. The family data for John Scudder and Elizabeth Stoughton is on the Strood Parish Register. And please see Life Sketch on Elizabeth's husband Samuel Lathrop's page for more of their history and data about their children. Please also see Scudder Association Foundation at scudder.org for various articles that discuss these people and their relationships. AN ACCURATE TIMELINE BY LOCATION is clear in several historical sources. Samuel Lathrop and wife Elizabeth Scudder did not move to Norwich until 1668 after living for 20 years at the new town of (Pequot) New London, CT to which they had moved by August 1648. In 1668 Samuel & Elizabeth Lathrop moved up the river to Norwich which town was not even commenced until 1659. Let's have the children be born where the parents were living according to their historical data in "A Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop Family," pp 38–39 and "The History of New London," by Francis Manwaring Caulkins" and "The History of Norwich" by Francis Manwaring Caulkins on p. 217. Although the family was not present at Norwich until 1668, since it was Samuel Lathrop's final home, the children's births are recorded in the Vital Records of Norwich 1659 - 1848, most having been born at New London except for the first two, John (in Boston, MA) and Elizabeth (in Barnstable, MA). For citations for an accurate timeline for the family of Samuel Lathrop and Elizabeth Scudder and where their children's births would have occurred in order to be present with their parents, see "Samuel Lathrop and Elizabeth (Scudder) of Barnstable, New London and Norwich," "Scudder Family Historical & Biographical Journal" at scudder.org Samuel and Elizabeth moved to (Pequot) New London, CT in summer of 1648, after the births of John and Elizabeth. They lived at New London for 20 years, not moving to Norwich until 1668, after their children were all born. The family was recorded with birth dates on the records of Norwich but this occurred after their move to Norwich, after the births had taken place. See short history of Samuel in "A Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop Family..." pp 38-40 and 46–48. Its data is confirmed by historical sources at Barnstable, New London and Norwich. https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalme00huntgoog/page/n51/mode/2up See History of Norwich at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/14692/images/dvm_LocHist003777-00127-1?ssrc=&backlabel=Return&rc=928%2C298%2C1261%2C349%3B157%2C413%2C348%2C463%3B346%2C413%2C589%2C476%3B153%2C1129%2C345%2C1179%3B1045%2C1297%2C1269%2C1346%3B152%2C1447%2C342%2C1495&pId=241 A previous submitter wrote: PLEASE read the attached TAG source and check the memories before doing any merges.

| 21 | ********************************************************* *** From "Centennial History of Grant County, Indiana (1912) ********************************************************** Mrs. Jonathan Havens. Of Grant county octogenarians the most interesting, both for age and for remarkable clarity of mind and faculties, is, properly speaking, not now eligible to that association of venerable men and women, since she is no longer an octogenarian but a nonagenarian. Mrs. Jonathan Havens is now past ninety-three years of age, is in perfect health, with mind as clear as a bell. She is one of the best known women in the county, and recalls with perfect ease her seventy years of experience. She is known and loved by everybody in the southern half of the county and the following brief record will be read and appreciated as a distinctive chapter in this history. The Havens family comes down through a Pennsylvania stock, which during the eighteenth century was established in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania, in what was known as the Redstone section. The grandfather of Jonathan Havens was also Jonathan, and was of Welsh ancestry. The name was established in America during the Colonial days, and its first home was in New Jersey. It is thought that the name of the American settler was Abram Havens. He had twelve sons and most of them saw service in the Revolutionary war on the American side. One of them located in Connecticut, two in Virginia, and one in western Pennsylvania. The latter was Jonathan, grandfather of the Grant county citizen named at the introduction of this sketch. Another son located in Kentucky, while the other lived in New Jersey. As to religious affiliations they were all Presbyterians. Grandfather Jonathan Havens was a deacon in the church. His life was spent in farming in western Pennsylvania, and he died in 1802 when quite an old man. He married a Miss Lippencot, of Pennsylvania, and she outlived him a good many years. Among their children were James, Elisha, and Benjamin, besides some daughters, all of whom lived to be quite old, and had families of their own. Benjamin Havens, the father, was born in Pennsylvania in 1785, was in early life apprenticed to learn the trade of harness maker, and by the death of his father was left an orphan at the age of seventeen. He later left his employer, and learned the trade of shoemaker and also of brick mason. He was a man of many trades, but was an expert in all of them, and performed a useful service in every community where he lived. He was married in 1816 in Fayette county, Ohio, to Miss Judith Davis, who belonged to the faith known as the Seven-Day Baptists. She was born in Ohio, and died in Clinton county of that state at the birth of her sixth child, being then in the prime of life. Her husband later married Mary Ann Carver, and in June, 1841, they came to Indiana and settled in Jefferson township of Grant county. Some years later they moved out to Iowa and while there his second wife died also in childbirth. Benjamin Havens then returned to Indiana with his children and died in Huntington county, February 6, 1848. His last child, a daughter, was adopted by a family in Iowa. Jonathan Havens, the first son and second child of Benjamin and his first wife, was born in Fayette county, Ohio, November 17, 1819. He grew up in Ohio, and in November, 1841, came to Indiana, locating in Jefferson township. There his career was that of farming, and after some years he bought one hundred and twenty acres, on which he remained until his death, June 30, 1863. In religion he was a Methodist, and a strong Republican in politics. Jonathan Havens was married in Fairmount, Jefferson township of Grant county, April 7, 1842, to Miss Gabrielle Clark. She was born in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1820. In 1837, when she was seventeen years of age, her family moved to Darke county, Ohio, and in 1838 to Fairmount township, Grant county. Her parents were James H. and Sarah (Simons) Clark, her father born in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, February 10, 1794, and died May 23, 1878, in Fairmount township, four miles up the creek from Jonesboro. Her mother was born March 16, 1796, and died in Grant county, October 27, 1885. They were married July 3, 1816, on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. The Clark family were farmers, Methodists in religion, and the father first voted the Whig ticket and later the Republican. James H. Clark was a son of John T. and Cynthia (Caswell) Clark, both natives of Bradford county, Pennsylvania, where they lived and died as farmers and Methodists. When John T. Clark was seven years of age, his father, Benjamin Clark, went away to serve as an American soldier in the Revolutionary war. Some time during that war the son John at one time was lost in the woods in Bradford county, near Wilkesbarre, and was for ten years away from his family. He was finally located when seventeen years of age, having been taken up and cared for after straying about three weeks in a large woods 70 miles through, and spent the next ten years in the home of a man living 60 miles away from the Clark place. Benjamin Clark died in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, when in old age. He came of English parentage, and his first wife was a Miss Hojet who died in the prime of life. His second marriage was to a Mrs. Shaw, whose first husband had been killed in the massacre of Wyoming Valley during the Revolution. Mrs. Jonathan Havens was educated much more liberally than was the custom for young women in her time. Since the death of her husband she has lived on the farm of eighty acres near Fowlerton, up to 1893 when she bought a home in the village of Fowlerton. Mrs. Havens is the mother of the following children: 1. Sarah E. died after her marriage to William Leach and the four living children are Scott, Kerr, Hancock and Leach. 2. Mary D. is the wife of Alonzo Roly of Grant county in Jefferson township, and their children are Bailley, Cappy, Winnie, Jesse, Jennie, and Arlee. 3. Tabitha A. died after her marriage to Samuel Carmichael, and had two children, Eva and Edward. 4. John M. married Flora Baird, and lives on a farm in Jefferson township. The children are Jesse, Glen, Charles, Benjamin, Clyde, Ethel, and Edith. 5. Cynthia M. is the wife of William H. Mann, and has children, Roy, Charles, and one other; by a former marriage to Mark Norton she has one son, Benoni. 6. Martha is the wife of John Brewer, now living on a farm in Oklahoma, and their children are Ora O., Ernest O., Arnetta G., and James T. 7. Emma E. is the wife of Davis Peck, living at Eaton in Delaware county, and their children are Arlington, Barnett, Eva and Susan. 8. Clark J., who is now connected with the State Hospital, has the following children: William, Emma, Blanche, Hazel, Russell, and Cynthia E. The descendants of Mrs. Havens are numerous, comprising thirtyseven grandchildren, fifty-nine great-grandchildren, and of her thirtyseven grandchildren, twenty-seven are married, and all are living and have children. Mrs. Havens has been a worker in the Methodist Episcopal church since she was twenty-one years of age, and has been devoted to the cause of religion and morality. Though born February 25, 1820, while James Monroe was still president of the United States, she still possesses "a green and smiling age," and there is hardly a tremor in her hand to indicate any break in her physical faculties. There is no woman in the state who can so accurately call up dates and facts from the early half *of the nineteenth century as Mrs. Havens. To indicate her remarkable powers of old age, in December, 1911, she made a trip alone to Oklahoma, where she celebrated her ninety-first birthday with a daughter, and on May 30, 1912, returned to Indiana, also alone. ************************************************************ | Clark, Gabrielle (I4274)

| 22 | ********************************************************* Bradford Reporter, Towanda, Pa., October 18, 1883, ULSTER TOWNSHIP ********************************************************* What is now Ulster township was originally a part of Sheshequin, but the latter town was soon of such importance that it was deemed best for Ulster to separate which it early did. It was settled about 1784, and among the settlers of early date may be mentioned Captain Benjamin Clark, Nathaniel Hovey, Adrial Simons, Solomon Tracy, Eli Holcomb, Isaac Cash, Abram Parmeter, Chester Bingham, Thomas Overton, Elijah Granger, Leonard Westbrook, and Joseph C. Powell. Nearly all of these men, if not all have descendants now living in Bradford County. Among the descendants of settlers of "ye olden time" are S. C. Hovey, a descendant of Benjamin Clarke, the third settler at Ulster, who came with General Sullivan in his famous march. About the same time (if not together, from Wyoming) that Colonel Spalding and others went to Sheshequin in 1783 and 1784, settlers came into Ulster. Of these may be mentioned as one of the pioneers, Captain Benjamin Clark, who was among the very first to build a house on the "town-plot," of Wilkes-Barre, having emigrated from Tolland County, Connecticut. He was a Corporal in the First Independent Company of Wyoming, under Captain Robert Darkee, and served seven years in the Revolutionary war. In the battle of Mud Fort, the man in front of him had his head shot off by a cannon ball. He was one of the detachment sent for the relief of the citizens of Wilkes-Barre, and was only a day too late--to save the inhabitants from the fate of the tomahawk, and the fiendish tortures of the red men. He was in the army of General Sullivan, which devastated the Indian country in 1779. In connection with General Sullivan’s expedition, Mr. Clark gave the following among his recollections: "At the battle of Newtown, (near where Elmira now is) after the engagement had actively opened, and the Indians were being hard pressed, they knocked down a cow which they had in their possession, cut her up in pieces without skinning her, then took to their heels and made their escape. This they would not have accomplished had General Poore completed his circuit in closing the circle surrounding them. However, the Indians were easily tracked, from the blood which dropped from the cow’s flesh. They were very wrathful at their defeat, and to express it they withed together young hickories." Mr. Clark received for his services a pension of $96 per year. Subsequently he was appointed captain of militia, and was known by the old settlers as "Captain Clark." After peace, Captain Clark remained in Wyoming one year. In the spring of 1784 he moved to the place now called Frenchtown, (Bradford County) and in the year after came up to Ulster, built a log house on the bank of the river on what is known as the "Watkins place," and moved his family into it in the spring of 1785. It will be remembered that an unusually severe rain fell in October, 1786, causing an unusual rise in the river, called the "pumpkin freshet," from the large quantity of that vegetable that floated down the river. Captain Clark’s house stood on the low flat near the river. The water began to rise rapidly, the family became alarmed and fled to the hills and Mr. Clark commenced moving his goods from the house; and so rapidly did the water rise that across a low place between his house and the hillside, where was dry ground when he went for his last load of goods, he was compelled to swim his oxen on the return. The water came up to the eaves of the house, but the building resisted the force of the current, and after the flood subsided the family moved back into it. The winter before the great ice freshet (1784) Mr. Clark was at Sheshequin, and in company with Sergeant Thomas Baldwin, went down to Wilkes-Barre in a canoe. There had been a thaw accompanied with rain, and the river was bank full when the weather became suddenly cold. It was with great effort, the two men could keep from freezing. The reached Wilkes-Barre that same day, but so intensely cold had the weather become that, high as the river was, it froze over that night. Like other Connecticut settlers, Captain Clark took up his farm in Ulster under the Connecticut title, but this proving worthless, he purchased the State title through Thomas Overton. Mr. Clark occupied what is now known as the "Watkins place" until 1816, when he moved to other lands of his, now included in the farm of Benjamin Ross. Here in 1817, he erected a frame dwelling which is yet standing; and our esteemed friend, Rev. S. C. Hovey, a grandson of Mr. Clark, who kindly pointed out the old land-marks for us--rode the horse when a boy nine years old that was hitched in front of the ox-team that drew the logs to the mill for this building. here Mr. Clark lived until the time of his death, which occurred in August, 1834, at the age of eighty-seven years. Captain Clark was an ardent Federalist and a member of the Methodist church. His house was a place of entertainment for travelers, and the home of the Methodist itinerant for many years, and in it the first preaching was held in Sheshequin. Here in 1810 the preaching of Rev. Loring Grant, H. B. Bascom, late Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was converted and received into the Church. It may be said that Mr. Clark kept the first hotel in Ulster. | Clark, Captain Benjamin (I348)

Samuel Lathrop was a builder of Boston, and a farmer of Barnstable, finally settling in what is now New London, Connecticut, where he became one of the judges of the local court organized in 1649. In 1668 he moved to Norwich, Connecticut where he was chosen constable. He first married on 28 November, 1644, in Barnstable, Elizabeth Scudder. They were the parents of nine children, their eldest, a son, baptized 7 Dec 1645, their youngest, a daughter, Anne, born 7 Aug, 1667. Samuel Lathrop married second in 1690, Abigail Doane, born 29 Jan 1632, daughter of Deacon Doane, of the Plymouth Colony. She survived her husband thirty four years, living to the great age of one hundred and two. He was a house carpenter by trade, combining with it extensive farming operations. In 1648 he went to New London, then called Pequot, where he built the "Second Church" and held positions of responsibility and honor. In 1649 the General Court organized a local court at Pequot and Samuel was one of the judges. In 1668 he removed to Norwich, where he is recorded as "Constable" and "Townsman", and where he died, leaving the widow Abigail who survived him many years. ____________________ From Huntington's A Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop Family ...: SAMUEL, born in England, and came with his father to Scituate in 1634, thence to Barnstable, where he married, Nov. 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, who had been dismissed from the church in Boston Nov. 10, 1644, to remove her church relation to that in Barnstable. She is reported in Savage as a sister to that John Scudder who was in Barnstable in 1640. He had made the acquaintance of Miss Scudder in Boston, where he commenced his business life as house builder, afterwards combining with this extensive farming operations, Their marriage was recorded by his father on the Barnstable Church Register as follows: "My sonn Samuel & Elizabeth Scudder marryed at my house by Mr. Freeman, Nov. 28, 1644." They settled in Barnstable, where his house stood next that of John Scudder. He is reported, in 1643, as one of the five Lothrops at Barnstable liable to bear arms. In 1648 he removed to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot. We now find Mr. Lothrop mentioned in two letters from Governor Winthrop to his son John, Jr., at Pequot. In one of these, bearing date Aug. 14, 1648, on the subject of obtaining a minister for the settlement, he writes: " Your neighbour Lothrop came not at me (as I expected) to advise about it," etc. His house lot in the new plantation was the third in order from that of John Winthrop, Jr,, Esq., and his name is one of the first eighteen to whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river" of Pequot, and for these the lots were drawn on the 17th and 31st of January, 1648-9. Almost at once Mr. Lothrop is assigned by his new townsmen to places of responsibility and honor. The General Court of the State, in May, 1649, organized a local court at Pequot, having for its judges John Winthrop, Esq., Samuel Lothrop, and Thomas Minor, giving them power to sit in the trial of all causes between the inhabitants in which the differences were under forty shillings. In 1650 he appears with fifteen other townsmen in town meeting "to arrange a system of co-operation with Mr. Winthrop in establishing a mill to grind corn." He received a large grant of land, also, on the west side of the Pequot river north of the settlement. It was about five miles up the river at a place called Namussuck. A farm of 260 acres at this place remained in the family until 1735, when it was sold by his grandson Nathaniel, after settling all claims, for 2,300 pounds. His "cattle marks" were recorded before 1650. When, in 1657, Uncas, routed by the Narragansetts, had been chased into tile fort at the head of the Nahantick and was there beseiged, Lieut. James Avery, Mr. Brewster, Samuel Lothrop and others, well armed, succeeded in throwing themselves into the fort and aided in the defence. He sold his town homestead in 1661 to the Rev. Gershom Bulkley. This house stood beyond the bridge over the mill brook, on east side of highway toward Mohegan, "probably where now (1852) stands the Hallam House." In 1679 is recorded a contract of Mr. Lothrop for building the Second Church in New London. He removed to Norwich in 1668. Miss Caulkins in history of Norwich says, "after the first thirty-eight proprietors the next inhabitants who came in as grantees of the town are John Elderkin and Samuel Lothrop." A house lot was first granted to John Elderkin, who, finding it too far from his business, had it conveyed to Samuel Lothrop. Mr. Lothrop appears to have erected a house on the town street before 1670, which from that time became his home. The house built by Dr. Daniel Lathrop, his great-grandson, about 1745, probably stands upon the same site-now Mrs. Gilman's. _______________________________________________ He was a house carpenter by trade, combining with it extensive farming operations.

He had served in the Revolutionary War from 1777 to 1780 and was taken prisoner by the British in one of the battles fought in the vicinity of New York. For a long time he was confined in one of the prison ship on Long Island sound, where he suffered untold hardships from confinement, hunger, cold and filth, which gave those floating dens such an unenviable notoriety. He married Sarah, sister of Chester and Ozias Bingham. She and three children died of fever in the summer of 1803.

He was a corporal in the first Independent Company of Wyoming under Capt. Robert Durkee and served seven years in the Revolutionary War. He was one of the detachment sent for the relief of Wyoming after the fatal battle and was in the army of General Sullivan against the Indians. In 1784 he removed from Wyoming to Asylum , and the next year, settled in Ulster on what is known as the Ross farm. His house was the place of entertainment for travelers and the home of Methodist itinerants who held religious meetings there. He was an ardent Federalist, captain of militia and popularly known as Captain Clark. By his first wife, Nabbe, he had children John T., Polly (Mrs. Blanchard) and Abigail (Mrs. George Culver). He married, second, Keziah Yarrington, widow of Silas Gore, who was slain at the battle of Wyoming, and had children: Lucinda (Mrs. Nathaniel Hovey) , Ursula (Mrs. Samuel Treadway) , William and Julia Ann (1st.

Y. ; began to teach at sixteen years of age ; attended the State Normal School at Albany, and gradu- ated in 1856 ; taught three years in the Canandaigua Academy ; entered the junior class of Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, in 1859, and graduated in 1861, one of the 'honor' members of the class. While in college, in addition to the classical course, he con- nected himself with the laboratory and took a special Course in chemistry. He taught a graded school in Monroe, Michigan, dur- ing the year 1862 ; then took a full course of studies in the Union Theological Seminary ; was graduated in 1865, and ordained to the Presbyterian ministry. While preparing for this work he taught in the Polytechnic and Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, in all nearly three years. "In 1865 he came to Minnesota, organized a Presbyterian Church at Preston, Fillmore County, became its pastor and re- mained there ten years. During the last six of those years he was County Superintendent of Schools, driven into that work on ac- count of poor health. By riding on horseback from school to school, and from town to town, he gradually improved, and was able to fill the requirements of the office. During five of these years that he was Superintendent he preached once a day on Sun- day, simply supplying the pulpit without doing pastoral work. The last three years that he was at Preston he was one of the di- rectors of the State Normal Schools; in 1875 was appointed by the board to take charge of the Normal School at Saint Cloud. Li 1 88 1 he resigned this position to accept the appointment of State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Minnesota. In this position he remained through six successive reappointments until 1893, when he resigned, accepting an election as Professor of Pedagogy in the University of Minnesota. In this position he remained until his resignation in 1902. "The subject of education seems to be the one absorbing theme with him. His best thoughts, his time, his energies are devoted to the questions, "What is modern education, and how can it be made available and practical in the philosophy and theories of the day ?" From this sketch it is evident that Professor Keihle is not only a zealous and devoted educator, but that he is a man of notable ability, and that he has by his merits won the distinction he has been favored with. When last heard from he was engaged in the composition of a work the title of which is "A Philosophy of the History of Education," which may be expected to embody his best and maturest conceptions.

| 29 | Detective Albert Gault Actual Baltimore Police badge worn by Detective Albert Gault,, who was a Baltimore City Policeman and Detective from 1866, when he joined the force, until his death in 1900. Detective Gault was a celebrated Detective who was involved in numerous cases during his tenure. The book, entitled "Our police: a history of the Baltimore force from the first watchman to the latest appointee", by De Francias Folsom. Chapter X has about twenty pages detailing some of Detective Gault’s cases. (Note that this badge is the center piece of the first issued star badge in 1851. Only the center piece was worn by detectives to make easier to conceal on the detective's belt or inside his jacket) This badge was found by Detective Gault's relatives among his personal effects. Obituary for Albert Gault, Detective Baltimore City Police Department Detective Gault is Dead His skill and daring in the pursuit of criminals July 27, 1900 Detective Albert Gault 63 years old, died at 10 minutes past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his house at 1538 W. Lanvale Street where he had been suffering with stomach trouble for the past 6 months. He had been sinking but Wednesday evening there was a decided change for the worse. He had wasted away to a skeleton having taken no nourishment for weeks, but was conscience until the last. Mrs. Gault and all her children except one, Mr. James W. Gault were present. He arrived last night from Connecticut. The children present were Mr. Robert H. Gault, Miss Kate Gault and Mrs. Edwin Kapp. Mrs. Gault was Miss Sarah Ellen Harrison. She and Detective Gault were married in 1860. Detective Gault leaves one sister--Miss Sallie Gault and two brothers, Messrs. Richard and William Gault. The funeral will probably take place Sunday afternoon. Rev. J.P. Campbell, of the Faith Presbyterian Church, Middle Street and Broadway will conduct the services. The interment will be in Greenmount cemetery. The undertakers are Evans & Spence. Detective Gault was a native of Baltimore and a son of Mr. Robert Gault a well known typefounder. When 14 years old, after spending several in the public schools. Detective Gault served an apprenticeship with the gas-fitting firm of Blair & Co. He followed the trade for 13 years. In 1864 he was appointed on the police force and assigned to work in the Central District under Captain John Mitchell. Very soon afterwards attention was attracted to his "detective" qualities by his prompt discovery of over $7,000 worth of goods from Thompson's tailoring establishment on Fayette Street. During the flood which occurred July 24, 1868 Patrolman Gault attracted attention by saving with great risk to himself two persons from drowning. He was an excellent swimmer. In 1873 while serving under Captain Lannan he was promoted to Sergeant and in the same year was assigned duty as a detective. Among the noted instances of his work as a Detective was the discovery and arrest of the negro, Harris, who was charged with having assaulted a young woman of Saulda, Va. The negro was tried and sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to 25 years imprisonment. Detective Gault made several daring arrest of fugitives from justice charged with assault but one of his best pieces of work was the arrest of Marshal Price of Caroline County who was charged with the murder on March 26, 1895 of Sallie E. Dean, a 14 year old girl. Price afterwards was lynched. Detective Gault was also largely instrumental in solving the mystery connected with the murders four years ago in Charles County of the wife and niece of Joseph Cocklag. An instance of his pluck and daring was the bringing to Baltimore from Detroit, Mich., in 1876 Joseph Lewordrell who had robbed Mrs. Lenka, a polish woman, living on Broadway near Thames Street of about $1,000. While the train was passing through the mountains of West Virginia the prisoner whose handcuffs had been removed for a moment, suddenly dashed out of the car door and jumped off the train which was running at full speed, the train was stopped and the detective, unarmed, pursed the fugitive 12 miles through the mountains, recaptured and tied him and flagged the first train. The conductor allowed the two men to get on, but concluded that they were tramps, was about to put them off when a passenger on the train recognized Detective Gault and he was allowed to continue with his prisoner to Baltimore. In September 1895 at Orlando, Fla., he arrested Robert Beason, alias Frank Smith, alias Frank Lefton, alias Clark who defrauded the commission firm Biedler and Jackson, 113 south Charles Street out of over $500. Beason had been a motorman, a check forger and fugitive from justice for many years. Detective Gault had traced him to Florida and returned with the prisoner to Baltimore, he learned on the train that friends of the prisoner had arranged to affect his release. Before arriving at the place where the rescue was to have been attempted Detective Gault got off the train and taking Beason into a swamp, hid there until the next day, when he continued his trip to Baltimore uninterrupted. In the Perot abduction case Detective Gault was commissioned a United States Marshal and sent to England with extradition papers to bring Mrs. Perot back to this country for trial. He was detained in London for over a month, while there a great reception was given him by the London Detective force of Scotland Yard. His death occurred on the anniversary of the day he sailed on the Majestic for London July 26, 1899.

| 32 | He was married October 26, 1862, to Miss Sarah E. Haven, a lady whose natural endowment of head and heart made her universally loved and respected. Her death, on April 17, 1888, occasioned acute sorrow in the entire neighborhood as well as in the home circle. She was the mother of two sons and four daughters, two of whom preceded her to the spirit land. Those surviving her as follows: Lucinda, who married John Scott, a farmer of Jefferson township, by whom she had four children; Anna, wife of Chalmer Kerr, an agriculturist of Delaware county, and the mother of one child; Charles E., who is an agriculturist and grain dealer of Fowlerton, is married to Miss Minnie Payne and has two children; and Martha C., who was educated in the common schools and received a musical education. She lives at home. On March 16, 1890, Mr. Leach led to the alter Miss Jennie Wood, whose kindly nature and womanly qualities have made her an ideal wife and mother. She is a daughter of John and Mary (Smith) Wood and was born in Ripley county, this state, January 12, 1851, but during her infancy her parents moved to Allen county, thence to Bluffton, where she was educated and lived for twenty-two years. She is a devout member of the Harmony Baptist church, as are her husband and daughter Martha. Mr. Leach worked zealously for the erection of the pretty structure in which they now worship, and has been foremost in all movements which are conducive to public good. He stands high in the community and will leave to his children a heritage far preferable to lands and gold-- a good name. He is a Democrat and cast his first vote for George B. McClellan. | Havens, Sarah Elizabeth (I4532)

| 39 | The Hortons.--The most numerous family settling in Sheshequin, whose prolific family record has been kept good down to the present time, is that of Horton. The Hortons are of English origin, their ancestry dating back to Robert de Horton in the thirteenth century. Barnabas Horton, the first of the family to come to America, landed in Massachusetts about 1633. He removed to New Haven, Conn., and afterwards formed one of the company that crossed to the eastern end of Long Island and settled the town of Southhold, being one of the patentees of that place. Joseph, son of Barnabas Horton, removed to Rye, Westchester county, NY. From him descended in successive generations, David, John and Richard. The last named was the father of Elijah, the Sheshequin pioneer. Elijah Horton, son of Richard and Jemima (Wright) Horton, was born in Peekskill, NY., August 7, 1739. About 1762 he married Jemima Currie. Being desirous of giving his aid in the struggle for Independence, on the 22d of February, 1778, he enlisted as a private in Captain Fox’s company of Henley’s regiment, Continental Troops, for a term of three years. He served until November 24, 1779, when he was “invalided.” About 1780 he removed from Peekskill to Stroudsburg, Monroe county, Pa., where he purchased a farm. Owing to the depreciation of Continental money (of which he had enough to pay for his land) he was compelled to give up his farm and removed to Middle Smithfield, Pa., where he lived for a time. From the latter place, about the year 1790, he came to Sheshequin and settled near the river on lands now owned by Frank Brigham. Here he continued to reside till the close of his life. In 1816, when he was 77 years of age, the following notice appeared in the Bradford Gazette: “There is now living in the township of Ulster (which then embraced Sheshequin), this county, Mr. Elijah Horton and Jemima, his wife, who have now living 12 children, 74 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, amounting in all to 109. Mr. Horton and his wife are in good health. He takes care of his stock of horses, cattle, etc., breaks his own colts and cuts his wood. His wife performs the household business without necessity of assistance from younger persons; they, therefore, have no person in their family but themselves. The eldest of their children has living nine children and twelve grandchildren; the other eleven of their children have all been married and had children.” Mr. and Mrs. Horton were both faithful members of the Baptist church. He died August 14, 1821, aged nearly 82 years. His wife, Jemima, (born July 6, 1744), died March 11, 1825, aged nearly 81 years. Both are buried in the Hornbrook Cemetery. Unto Elijah and Jemima Horton were born seven sons and five daughters: Elizabeth, Richard, Elijah M., Jemima, Fanny, Isaac, Joshua, Esther, Phoebe, Gilbert, Stephen and William. | Horton, Elizabeth (I4146)

| 40 | THE SEVENTH GENERATION: James Clark (1794-1878) James Clark, the second oldest child of John T. Clark and Cynthia Campbell, was born in Bradford County in 1794. He married Sarah Simmons in 1818 and together they had at least nine children born between the years 1818 and 1835. All of their children were born in Burlington, Pennsylvania. Sometime in late 1837, the family moved westward ultimately arriving in Fairmount Township, Grant County, Indiana in February of 1838. In a history of Fairmount it is written: “The Clark family came in two wagons, one drawn by horses and the other by an ox team.” What motivated James Clark to move his family 600 miles from Burlington, Pennsylvania to Grant County, Indiana can only be assumed. Perhaps it was to seek a better life for himself and his children; perhaps it was just in his genes to migrate. James’ 4th great grandfather, Joseph, had journeyed from England to America in 1637, his 2nd great grandfather, Theophilus, had moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut in 1733, His grandfather, Benjamin, had relocated his family from Connecticut to Pennsylvania in 1770, and now he, James Clark, had crossed 600 miles of wilderness to start over again in Indiana.
