| 68 | In 1776, a well-to-do loyalist tea merchant from New York City, Peter Mesier, arrived in Fishkill. He bought the 750 acres of land and the homestead from Nicholas Brewer and opened a small store in the homestead. Mesier angered his customers with high prices and in May of 1777, a number of people broke into his store and demanded tea, refusing to pay the high prices asked. For three days, the intruders beat Mesier and his wife and servants, destroyed his property and raided his cellar. Peter Mesier and his wife, Catherine Sleight, lived peacefully after the incident and together had eight children, three boys and five girls. Upon the death of Peter in 1806, their son Matthew took over the Mesier Homestead. Matthew and his wife had two sons, Henry and Abram and two daughters, Johanna and Maria. These heirs of Matthew were the last owners of Mesier Homestead.

| 74 | The name "Hartsville" is derived from that of Colonel William Hart, second son of James Hart.In the late 18th century, Colonel Hart moved here from Plumsteadville and purchased an inn from James Baldwin, renaming it the "Sign of The Hart".This inn built in 1742, later known as the Hartsville Hotel, was located at the northeast corner of Old York and Bristol Roads (originally called "The Cross Roads"). A revolutionary War Veteran, active in public affairs, Colonel Hart served as Bucks County Register of Wills in 1807, and as a County Commissioner in 1809.It is held that Colonel Hart's influence caused the representation of a heart to be carved in the stone bridge just beyond York Road in 1793. General George Washington and his officers dated letters from Hartsville in 1777, as did General John Lacey in 1778.The establishment of a post office in the early 1800's marked the official naming of Hartsville. The Village of Hartsville was an important stagecoach stop on the Philadelphia-New York Stagecoach line, where fresh teams of horses were picked up and travelers could stretch their limbs or quench their thirst at the inn.Among early visitors was Benjamin Franklin, who stopped while enroute to New York. Later known as the Hartsville Hotel, the inn was built in 1742, at the Northeast corner of Bristol and York Roads.Across the street from the Hotel, the Post Office was established with Joseph Carr as its first Postmaster, the exact date being evasive - ranging from 1817 to 1826, depending upon the text consulted.The Hartsville Post Office was the village venue for mail until delivery service was assumed by the Warminster Post Office around 1960, at which time the Hartsville Post Office was closed. Joseph Hart was Treasurer of the Neshaminy Warwick Church, and is buried in the cemetery, West of the Church, along with 37 other members of the Hart family.The Church ties to local history owing to its first Pastor, the Reverend William Tennent, who arrived in 1726.In addition to his pastorate duties, he founded the Log College on York Road, about a half mile south of Bristol Road.Acclaimed as the parent of classical education in Bucks County, it was the only school South of New England, and North of Virginia where men could be trained for the ministry.Although derided by locals for it’s rough beginnings, many prominent Presbyterian ministers and teachers were schooled there, and it’s graduates founded Princeton University. During revolutionary times, George Washington’s army visited Hartsville, and there encamped from August 10th thru the 23rd 1777.The French General Lafayette met there with General Washington and received his commission in the Continental Army.It was at this camp on the Little Neshaminy that the flag which Congress adopted on June 14th, 1777, is said to have been flown for the first time by the Continental Army.British troop movements led General Washington’s troops through Hartsville enroute to Germantown.Having been informed that the British had returned to New York, he remembered the crossroads with its green fields and abundant water supply.Retracing his steps, he and his company of 18,000 awaited instruction from Congress.During this time, the army occupied the farms of Carr, Ramsey, and Jamison for 13 days.Washington made is headquarters in the Moland House, now known as Headquarters Farm, where he held his councils of war. | Hart, Colonel William (I2924)

| 75 | THE NINTH KANSAS VOLUNTEER CAVALRY. Organized March 27, 1862, the Ninth Cavalry, which did effective work in the west, was under the following officers: Colonel, Edward Lynde, Grasshopper Falls; lieutenant colonel, Charles S. Clark, Iola; major, James M. Pomeroy; adjutant, Luin K. Thacher, Kansas City; quartermaster, William Rosenthal, Lawrence; surgeon, Henry C. Bostick, Iola; chaplain, Gilbert S. Northrup. The final organization of the Ninth was effected by consolidating and organizing the Iola battalion (raised in southern Kansas) with detachments of the First Battalion Kansas Cavalry, the Third Kansas, and the Eighth Kansas Volunteers. The place of rendezvous for these companies was Fort Leavenworth, where also the regiment was organized, and whence the companies were detached to various posts of duty - A, on escort duty to Fort Union, New Mexico; B, into the mountains of Colorado, to build Fort Halleck; C, to Fort Riley; G, to Fort Lyon, Colorado, and I, to Fort Laramie. The detachments on the plains were long in defense of overland mail routes, and the protection of immigrants, one detachment proceeding northwest to Montana, the other having its station along the Santa Fe route. The four companies, D, E, F and H, under Major Bancroft, formed a part of the expedition into the Indian country, and, under Colonel Lynde, were engaged during a part of August, 1862, in pursuing the force of General Coffey through western Missouri. The regiment took part in the desultory warfare which was waged in Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, remaining on duty at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff until its term of service expired, some of the companies returning to Leavenworth in the fall of 1864, to be mustered out of service, and some remaining until mustered out in the summer of 1865. | Coffield, James Clark (I4544)

| 82 | "DEATH OF W. W. HARDING The Well-Known Publisher Succumbs to an Attack of Pneumonia William W. Harding, for many years proprietor and editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, died at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, at the family residence, 804 Pine street. For some months Mr. Harding had been in failing health and on that account, in March last, he was obliged to relinquish the active management of the paper and its ownership was transferred to a stock company, with James Elverson as president. Hiss illness did not become alarming to his family until within the last four weeks, when he was attacked with pneumonia and the disease hastened his death. Mr. Harding was a son of the late Jesper Harding. He was born in this city November 1, 1830, and after receiving a careful scholastic education had his first business training in the book publishing house of Appleton & Co. He became associated with his father, the founder and proprietor of the Pennsylvania Inquirer, in the publication of that journal in 1849. The firm of Jesper Harding & Son continued until 1859, when William W. Harding assumed sole control of the paper, Jesper Harding retiring. The history of THE INQUIRER is largely the life of W. W. Harding. In April 1860, he changed its shape from the large folio sheet to the quarto form and the name to that of THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, by which title it has ever since been known. Upon the breaking out of the rebellion THE INQUIRER assumed a leading position in the journalistic world, its special war correspondence and Congressional news being widely read and attracting much attention on account of the exclusive information gathered. As an earnest supporter of the government the paper was almost looked upon as officially voicing the sentiments of the national administration. During his long business career, Mr. Harding was thrown into contact with the leading men of the city and country. The announcement of his death was a surprise to many of his business and personal friends. Although aware of his failing health, they were not prepared for the serious turn in his illness. He leaves a widow and six children. Two brothers, George Harding and J. Morris Harding survive him. His twin brother, Barclay Harding, who founded the Evening Telegraph, died on October 30, 1865."

| 89 | ** From Craft's History of Bradford County ** ********************************************* SIMMONS CLARK HOVEY was born in Ulster, Bradford Co., Pa., Jan. 8, 1807, where he has spent his whole life. His mother was a daughter of Capt. Benj. Clark, a Revolutionary hero, who served seven years in the War of Independence, settling in Ulster soon after its close, having married Keziah Gore, whose first husband was killed in the celebrated Wyoming massacre. His father, Nathaniel Hovey, was an officer (ensign) in the War of 1812, and died at Sackett's Harbor during the war, leaving a wife, two sons, Simmons C. and William M., and a daughter, now Mrs. Hannah Horton. William M. died in 1850. His yourrgest son, Robert M., was adopted by his uncle Simmons, and carefully educated, and has been for some years general ticket agent and paymaster, and now chief clerk, in the G. I. & S. railroad office at Sayre, Pa. The subject of this sketch received a good common-school education, and adopted farming as a profession, in which he has been very successful. He added to the small tract of land inherited from his grandfather Clark, by purchase at different times, till he owned an ample estate, where he resided till 1873, when he sold it and retired from active life to his residence in the village of Ulster,--still retaining, however, a farm on Moore's hill, purchased in 1837. Mr. Hovey was married in 1829 to Miss Eleanor Boyce, who was born in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., May 14, 1812, and whose parents settled in Sheshequin, Bradford Co., Pa., during the War of 1812. For some years before and after his marriage until their death, at the respective ages of eighty.seven and ninety-one, Mr. Hovey took care of his aged grandparents, Capt. Clark and wife, whose last days were rendered pleasant by the kindness of their filial grandson and his generous hearted and sensible young wife, who has proven herself a true helpmeet, as well as a loving and devoted wife, a good neighbor, a useful member of society, and a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church during her half century of married life. Mr. Hovey joined the same organization at the age of seventeen, and has been an active and prominent member for over fifty years. He has been class-leader, exhorter, and local preacher, and in 1840, he was regularly ordained by Bishop Roberts. The Hovey mansion has for a generation been the home of the Methodist minister, and the headquarters of Methodism in Ulster. Mr. Hovey has been an active promoter of education, serving for twenty-three years as school treasurer. He also filled the office of town clerk for some years, and in all positions, public and private, he has acted his part well. | Hovey, Simmons Clark (I4316)
