61602 William Peart Sr. came from England to Oxford Township, Philadelphia County,
Pennsylfania; in 1806 he bought two tracts in Armstrong County on the Alleghany
River at the mouth of Pine Run, and the following year built a sawmill there at
what was to become Mosgrove, Pennsylvania; he owned additional lands and a
grist mill in Valley Township.

The will of William Peart of Kittanning Township, written 30 July 1828,
probated 27 August 1828, bequeathed $100 to each of two grandchildren, son and
daughter of son Benjamin Peart (they lived near Philadelphia); to daughters
Susan Bainbridge and Maria Johns, certain bonds against Philip Mochling and
Simon Torney; to wife Susan her support her lifetime. A codicil of 1 August
1828 leaves land on Pine Creek and Alleghany River, "where I now reside", to
granddaughter Rachel Peart, daughter of son William L. Peart. A second codicil
same date mentions a previous deed to son William L. Peart and makes it clear
that sons, Benjamin and William were living at the time of writing. Witnesses:
E. S. (Eben Smith) Kelly, William L. Peart, Samuel McMaster.

In 1821 William Peart Sr. had conveyed to William Jr. 300 acres 80 perches in
the south part of Pine Grove and had agreed in 1828 to convey another parcel of
248 acres including grist and saw mills; this latter sale was consumated by the
widow Susan in 1832.

On 20 June 1842 Alcy Pert, widow of William L. Peart late of Pine Township,
deceased intestate, petitioned for guardianships for her children, Eliza Jane,
Margaret M., Else Anne, Nancy G., Mary Adeline, and Esther E. Peart, all minors
under fourteen years. A. L. Robinson was so appointed with James Cochran as
Surety in the amount of $600.

On 21 September 1846 an inquest of partition was requested concerning the real
estate of William L. Peart of Pine Township, 348 acres adjoining James Cochran,
Samuel Hutchinson and land previously sold by William L. Peart to Walter Sloan
his brother-in-law. Peart's heirs were eleven children: Rachel wife of William
Meaner of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Rosanna wife of Samuel Cochran,
Susannah Peart and Samuel Peart, all of age; also William, Eliza Jane,
Margaret, Else Anne, Nancy, Adeline and Easter Peart, minors.

Before his death William L. Peart had contracted to sell part of his land,
including the mills to his brother-in-law, Walter Sloan, but there was much
delay in completing the transaction; suit was brought against Robert E. Brown,
Administrator of Peart's estate and on 3 January 1849 subpoenas were issued for
all of the heirs.

On 21 December 1846 Sharon Manteer was appointed guardian of Eliza Jane and
Margaret Peart; both girls were then over 14 years and both guardianships were
discharged 3 March 1856. Bond was for $500 with Jonathan Sloan as Surety. On
19 Jun 1849 on petition of Samuel M. Peart, Thomas McConnel was appointed
guardian for Nancy G., Adeline and Esther E. Peart, all under 14 years. Bond
was for $1000 with William Robinson as Surety.

This Peart estate was continued over many years until all of the children were
grown up and until after the death of the widow. There were distribution
payments from time to time with many releases and receipts. In a final
affidavit dated 18 February 1884, S. M. Peart lists the heirs as follows:
Isabella Peart, wife of William S. Peart, now wife of Joseph Campbell; Rachel
Peart, widow of William Manor; Rosannah Peart wife of Samuel Cochran; Susanna
Peart, widow of Samuel Sloan; Eliza Peart wife of John Meanor; Margaret Mateer
now wife of Chris Foster, only child of Margaret Peart and Robert Mateer now
deceased; William L. Frank and Adella Frank, only children of Elsi Anne Peart
and Ezra Frank both decased; Nancy P. Peart wife of A. J. Thompson; Adeline P.
Burgess; and Esther Peart wife of David Prugh.

61620 William was in Duxbury in 1638.

William was cooper licensed to dwell within the government, at Plymouth or
elsewhere, upon the testimony of his good behavior he hath brought with him.
Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p 82.

This is the first mention of William Macomber in America. The testimony of
good behavior is likely to have been obtained from the person whom he served
hist apprenticeship in learning the trade of cooper. The date of the above
record is April 2, 1638.

Under date of 3 September 1638, are found the following records: "William
Maycumber, a cooper, is graunted an island lying on the north side Powder
Poynt, & containing about three or four acres of land, provided that the
committees of Ducborrow doe consent thereunto, and that he doe not stop the
townes cattle from the fresh water thereupon," and "Liberty is graunted to
Will'm Maycumber, cooper, to fetch tymber to make hoopes of for vessels for the
colonies use at Clarks Island and Sagaquash." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I.
p 95.

3 August 1640, "Will'm Maycumber is granted the wood fit for coopery growing
upon Wood Island, to be used by him so long as he followeth his trade, and
forbidding all others to cutt there except for the loading of boats and
vessells to carry away the hay." Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I. p 159.

He settled in Marshfield, Massachusetts. In 1644 he was fined for speaking
against the Indians. He was a surveyor in Marshfield in 1653.

A sworn statement, made March 1, 1655, gives his age as 45 years. He was,
therefore, born in 1610. Tradition says that he was brother to John Macomber
of Taunton. In favor of this is the following:

"Aug. 20, 1644, William Maycomber of Duxborrow --------- sent forth to bring in
John Macomber for non-appearance for making allarum at Taunton." See
Proprietors' Records at Taunton.

61622 William was probably the first born of William and Zillah. After his marriage William moved to Kentucky, had four sons and two daughters. He separated from his wife and left. He remarried, but found his wife with another man and killed him. The family heard that he had been lynched, but Great Aunt Gemma said that a man visited the old home place and asked many questions regarding persons having died, old buildings torn down, even talked to his sister, Nancy, who would never admit it. Aunt Gemma felt is was her uncle in spite of the denial.

61631 Wilson Maples went with his parents from Pittsylvania County, Virginia to Pendleton District, South Carolina prior to 1790. There he lived with his parents until his marriage in 1801.

Wilson Maples and his family left Pendleton District, South Carolina for Sevier County, Tennessee in 1805. They settled in the area of the East Fork of Little Pigeon River.

Wilson Maples had bought 77 acres of land from James Mathis Sr. circa 1805/1806. This land was surveyed in 1807 and granted by State of Tennessee. It was located in the East Fork of Little Pigeon River area.

Wilson Maples also bought 69 acres of land at the same time. It was located in the East Fork of Little Pigeon River area and adjoined the lands of James Mathis Sr.

From RECORD OF COMMISSIONS OF OFFICERS IN THE TENNESSEE MILITIA 1796-1815, compiled by Mrs. John Trotwood Moore, Wilson Maples was appointed as a captain of 11th Regiment for Sevier County, Tennessee on 26 May 1812.

Wilson Maples served as a Captain of 11th Regiment for Sevier County, Tennessee from the date of appointment until he resigned. During the War of 1812, he served as a captain in the 5th Regiment of Tennessee militia commanded by Colonel Edwin Booth. He was drafted at Sevierville, Sevier County, Tennessee on or about 5 November 1814 for six months duty. On 25 December 1814, he was reassigned to Lookout Mountain (vicinity of Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee) on account of sickness.

Wilson Maples died almost a year after he resigned from the position of captain. From deeds it is indicated that the said Wilson Maples had left a will at his death. He willed his wife, Sarah, the one half of the plantation during her lifetime or widowhood and willed that each of his children was to receive one-sixth part of the undivided interest in the other half of the plantation.

It is believed that Wilson Maples was buried in the McMahan Cemetery, Jones Cove. (A stone reads "W. M. 1845 (1815?)".)

61642 Within six weeks of the date of Samuel's wife's will (Jean Ewing) Samuel sold off his land and farming equipment and six weeks after that he was dead. Rather obviously Samuel Mateer was sick unto death for some time before his demise, and it was appropriate that his wife's family should be distressed to contemplate the future for his widow and young children.

In a militia list of 4 February, 1793, Samuel H. McTeer was shown as a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, aged between 18 and 45 years.

On 5 November 1796 Samuel McTeer of Newton Township, Cumberland County, bid in at public vendue for 153 pounds, a 71 acre tract with improvements in Newton Township, which had been seized in August 1792 by the County Collector of Revenue on a judgment against Joseph Wilson late of Cumberland County for 150.78.6 pounds. Sheriff's deed dated 7 April 1797, filed 11 October 1797.

On 30 April 1798 Paul Thompson and wife Agnes of Monaghan Township, York County, conveyed to Samuel Huston McTeer of Newton Township, Franklin County, PN, for 550 pounds, 90 acres 19 perches in Monaghan Township with the usual allowance of 8 acres 113 perches. Witnesses: Edward O'Hal, John Nesbit, Hugh Thompson.

In the spring of 1803 Samuel H. Mateer announced a public vendue for Friday, 13 March 1803, to sell his land in Monaghan Township, 100 acres with improvements, grain in the ground, mare, cows, hogs, a case of drawers and a dresser. The terms of the sale were for the plantation 150 pounds down and the remainder at the rate of 30 pounds yearly; for bids under 10 shillings, cash, for bids
exceeding 10 shillings, nine months credit; and the "owner reserves one bid on each article if he sees cause." -- At the sale Major Thomas McCreary bought the plantation for 460 pounds, but before the transaction was legally completed Samuel H. Mateer was dead. In lieu of a deed the following papers were filed in York County on 16 May 1803: notice of the sale (as above) with a list of buyers; a deposition of John May that the sales notice as exhibited was in the handwriting of Samuel H. Mateer, "late of Monaghan Township, York County, who was present at the sale"; and the Prothonotary's certification that there was a valid contract between Mateer and Thomas McCreary.

Letter From Buena Vista Soldier
in France Says the Boxes
Haven't Arrived.

WEATHER NOT SO BAD

Boys All in Good Health and
Eager to Get in Service
In Trenches

Special to the Times-Journal.

North Buena Vista, Ia., Feb. 7 - E. P. Sawyer of this place received the following letter from his son, Alfred with the Rainbow Guards, in France:

Somewhere in France, Jan 2, 1918.

Dear Father:

Just a few lines to let you know we are all well and feeling fine.

This is pay day and we are sure a happy bunch. Think the war is just about over, but no telling when we will come back. We have a fine set of officers. I like them all fine. We have inspection in the morning, so are all cleaning our guns. Wish I could tell you where we are, but of course can not.

There is a little snow on the ground here, and this morning it was real cold.

We get all of our money in French. I can talk a little French. We are all so anxious to get in the trenches. I am coming to see you just as soon as I get back, so you can see your only son as a soldier. Grandpa Hovey wants me to come to California, which I am going to do. I just got through shaving and cleaning up and feel fine. We just got an issue of new wrap putties. We always wore the leggings, but these wraps are much better. You must write soon and often, as it takes so long for a letter to get here. I am going to have a little French girl do my washing tomorrow. We are all working hard every day; we do many different kinds of drilling.

There are so many things I would like to write, which I cannot; as it is I cannot write a very good letter.

We don't get mail very often over here. The last letter I got was dated Nov. 24th. We have not received our Christmas boxes yet, but are looking for them any day.

It is just about mess time and we are all humgry. I wish you could see us running for the mess line. I bet you would laugh. I see that there is lots of cold weather in the eastern states. This is a fine village where we are. The people are all nice.

Well, I guess I will close for this time. Will try and write a better letter the next time. Good-bye, and write soon.

Your loving son,

Private Alfred L. Sawyer,

September 1970 letter to M. Beckwith

Dear Cousin,

On April 5th Gilbert suffered a severe paralytic stroke affecting his entire
right side. Could neither walk nor talk, with some paralysis in throat. He
was in the Veterans Hospital in Hot Springs, S. D. (30 miles from Edgemont)
until last week. Doctor sent him home for a month and we are getting along
fine. A wheel chair and Canadian Walking cane were sent with him. His speech
is coming back SLOWLY so we are able to communicate. He can walk a little
using the cane, a steel brace on his right ankle and with me holding on to his
belt in the back. He is very happy to be at home and I think the doctor will
release him to me each successive month the winter. We have had a dreadfully
hot summer, or so my friends tell me. Over 100 many successive days but I was
so concerned over Gib and busy making daily trips to the hospital that I did
not notice the heat.

Thank you for reminding us of the anniversary and of Fred's birthday. We hope
that Fred and Blanche remain in fair health and will enjoy some happy hours
together.

Our love to all,

Gilbert and Katherine Taylor

61680 Young John Ogle early became aware of the difficulties which his family was likely to experience after the Restoration, and he undoubtedly had heard tales of adventures in the New World; and so when the opportunity was presented to him, John Ogle joined Colonel Nicolls' expedition, bound for America.

In March 1664, the whole of the territory in America occupied by the Dutch on the Atlantic seaboard was granted by Charles II to his brother, the Duke of York, on the plea that it was British soil by right of discovery. On 25 May 1664, Colonel Nicolls, with four ships, 300 soldiers and 450 men, sailed from Portsmouth. The expedition arrived at New Amsterdam, and without firing a shot, Governor Stuyvesant surrendered the town on 29 August and promptly changed the name to New York.

Delaware had been originally settled by Swedes, who quarreled with the Dutch, who built Fort Casimir 6 miles from the Swedish Fort Christiana. In 1654 Governor Rising brought a large number of colonists from Sweden; he took Fort Casimir, renaming it Fort of the Holy Trinity, in honor of the day of capture. Governor Stuyvesant, who later came down from New Amsterdam and recaptured the fort, renamed it New Amstel.

John Ogle, who had served under Captain Carr in Delaware, became a permanent resident of White Clay Creek Hundred, named from the deposits of white clay found along its banks. John Ogle first resided at New Castle, where he was a large land-buyer; he afterwards lived at various sites on his extensive holdings. He commenced acquiring land at an early date, probably as soon as the confusion of the conquest and the settlement of Indian troubles permitted it.

The first grant that John Ogle received was in February 1666, from Governor Nicolls, who had empowered the officers of Delaware to dispose of "implanted" land there for the best advantage of the inhabitants. The parcel known as Muscle Cripple was granted to Sgt Thomas Wollaston, John Ogle, John Hendricks and Herman Johnson. It consisted of a part of 300 acres and was bounded by a creek at the head of Bread and Cheese Island and also by the plantations of Hans Bones and James Crawford. Sgt Wollaston had been a comrade in arms, as had James Crawford of the adjoining plantation. James Crawford, having gained some knowledge of medicine in the army, was known as "Doctor" on the early assessment rolls. His daughter Mary was later to marry into the Ogle family. Crawford was one of the heroes of the Nicolls expedition, his grant specifically stating that it was given "in consideration of the good service performed by James Crawford, a soldier".

The story of John Ogle is closely bound up with that of his friends Thomas Wollaston and James Crawford, who took a liking to young Ogle and formed a friendship which continued throughout their lives.

The three friends settled on nearby plantations in New Castle County, where their wives survived them. The Records of the Court of Newcastle give a picture of their lives after 1676.

The three are the foundation of the Ogle genealogy. John Ogle's son Thomas married Mary Crawford, daughter of James. Wollastaon connections appear in the fourth and fifth generations. Joseph Ogle married Priscilla Wollaston, and their son Samuel married Deborah Wollaston.

An eyewitness account of the events of June 1675 has revealed something of the character of John Ogle of that period - swashbuckling, rash and reckless, with an amount of courage appropriate to the rough and tumble frontier environment. He was not one to be imposed on, especially by one of the Dutch who certainly did not amount to much in the eyes of His Majesty's soldiers. Under order of the Governor-General, the magistrates met at New Castle on 4 June 1675, and decided that it would be necessary to build a road across the marsh and to build a dyke in the marsh next to the town. Another dyke across Hans Block's marsh was also thought necessary, and the inhabitants were ordered to assist in the project by contributing labor or money. The project was strenuously
opposed by the settlers because the dyke across Hans Block's marsh was an improvement to private property. John Ogle was a leader of the objectors and peremptorily informed the magistrates that no dykes at all would be built under any such unfair conditions. His objections stirred the people to great excitement in the church where the public meeting was held; and Ogle was put out of the church. Mathys Smith and the Rev. Jacobus Fabricius took up the cause and as a result Ogle and Fabricius were arrested. They were confined in a boat which was anchored nearby, where they continued their public imprecations. Excitement was high, and they were eventually released. Later Hans Block encountered Ogle on the street and was told that if the Finns had been drunk no good would have come from the incident. It was an affront to constituted authority and called for severe disciplinary measures.

Conditions in New Castle were not good at that time; carousals, fights and robberies were the order of the day, and it wasn't a safe place for a stranger. William Edmunsdon, "a Public Friend" visiting there, found it difficult to secure lodgings, "the inhabitants being chiefly Dutch and Finns addicted to drunkenness", who refused to take him in, even though he had money.

Special warrants were issued by the Governor against Fabricius and Ogle, who with others had signed a remonstrance. The two chief troublemakers were ordered to appear in the August Court, and the other signers before a later court. Fabricius appeared and the proceedings resulted in the unfrocking of the troublesome person; Ogle, who conveniently fell sick, failed to appear, and no further action was taken against him.

After the excitement of the summer of 1675, Ogle proceeded to acquire more land, and the tract known as Hampton, on the south side of St. George's Creek, consisting of 300 acres, was confirmed to him by Governor Andross on 5 November 1675.

New Castle court records reveal that in February 1676 Ogle accused one of the Dutch residents of stealing his heifer. As one of the jurymen was Thomas Wollaston, the outcome was predictable.

The above incident marked the beginning of a series of court proceedings which involved John Ogle and James Crawford for the rest of their lives. Ogle was an extensive producer of tobacco, and like other planters he was continually involved in financial and other difficulties. Little ready money changed hands in those days, and the barter system was the common way of doing business.

Various deeds of the period after 1678 record transfers of extensive tracts of land to a number of Ogle's associates; among them, Swart Neuton's Island was transferred to John Darby of Maryland, and other lands to John Test and to Augustine Dixon.

In 1675 the Governor ordered the construction of highways, and the inhabitants of New Castle and the surrounding area, and on the south side of Christiana Creek were made responsible for constructing a highway from New Castle to Red Lyon between the first of January and the end of February. The highway was to be a good passable one, twelve feet wide, and John Ogle was appointed overseer of the residents around Christiana Creek.

On 25 August 1680, Thomas Wollaston of White Clay Creek wrote a letter to John Briggs of West Jersey which he gave to John Ogle for delivery. Wollaston had a debt of three years standing against Briggs. Ogle made the journey, stopping in New York, where 27 August he made an affidavit concerning the transaction. The affidavit began: "John Ogle, aged thirty-two or thereabouts, . . . . .

The incident itself is not important, but Ogle's statement of his approximate age has been of crucial importance to ogle genealogy, as without it, it would have been impossible to connect him with absolute certainty to his
Northumberland Family.

In November 1681 Ogle received a court order to take up 200 acres of land for each of his two sons, Thomas and John Ogle, and on 27 December 435 acres, called the "Fishing Place", on Christiana Creek were surveyed on the warrant. On August of the following year, Northampton, a tract of 200 acres in White Clay Creek Hundred was surveyed for Ogle. On 14 October 1683 more acres in Mill Creek Hundred were surveyed for him, and on 8 December Eagles Point in White Clay Creek Hundred was also surveyed. This ended the accumulation of the original Ogle acreage, for in 1683 John Ogle died.

At the urging of his brother Calvin, John Lowrie Mateer studied printing,
lithographing and other publication processes in order to take charge of the
Presbyterian Press at Shanghai, China. He served in China from 1872 until his
health broke down in 1876. Then he returned to the States and bought a farm in
northwest Missouri.

After a year spent in visiting family and friends across the country, John with
his second wife returned to China to take over the management of the American
Board Press in Peking, where he died just a few weeks before the Boxer
Rebellion.

During the sojourn in America between his two trips to China, John L. Mateer
had begun the collection of material for a Mateer genealogy. In a letter from
Peking, written 16 March 1900 to Major Will A. McTeer he says, "The
arrangements which I made before leaving home for printing the family history
were not carried out. We shall be going home in two years or less and then I
hope to do it." But he died less than six weeks after the date of this
writing.

No children.

It seems John was sharpening his axe to split some wood when his wife Lizzie thought he had gone crazy and was about to kill her with the axe. She went up stream to get her brother to stay with them over night.

The next day they had John committed to an asylum. Days later Lizzie asked John to return to help tend the fields but he refused saying he did not want to live with a wife who commits her husband. And anyway, life in the asylum is not as tough as tending corn in the Smokies.
