Allen County, Ohio - Chapter 5: Pioneer History, 1885

Chapter 5: Pioneer History

A PERIOD of time, bordering on three-fourths of a century, has passed away since the American pioneers of this county made their first settlement here. Those years have been replete with change, social, pplitical, religious, even physical change< The visitor of to-day, ignorant of the past history of Allen, could scarcely realize the fact that within six or seven decades a population approximating 40,000 grew up, where, in the second quarter of the Nineteenth Century, Indian villages stood, and the savages themselves had worn the war-paint, and retailed their scalp belts. The people have not only increased in number, but, also, in wealth, refine* ment and all the characteristics of advancement, which mark the older settlements of the North Atlantic States. Newspapers, schools, churches, palatial dwellings, magnificent public buildings, extensive marts, busy mills, cultivated fields, now occupy the village sites and hunting grounds of a hundred aboriginal races, while a people endowed with the highest faculties have taken the place of the Shawanees and Ottawaians hem-

Belree. There are bat few left of the old landmarks - still a smaller nnmber of old settlers. Oivilization and its demands have conspired to raze every monument of the red-man, to obliterate almost every trace of his oocnpancy. Old Time, too, has not looked calmly on, bnt, by vray of reprisal, has driven many a pioneer to the promised land beyond the the grave, or led others from the old homestead westward in the track of the Indians to re-enact beyond the Mississippi the drama of early settlement

V As a general rale the men and women who first settled in this county were fearless, self-reliant and industrious. No matter from what State or what country they came, there was a similarity of character. In birth, education, language, religion, there were differences; but such differences did not interfere with harmony - on the contrary, they were lost in association, forgotten in that common interest which united all. In such a community there was a hospitality, a kindness, a benevolence, and high above all, a charity, unknown and unpracticed among the older, richer and more densely populated settlements of trans- Alleghany counties, just in the same manner, perhaps, as there was a higher faith animating the early Christians, than that which marks our latter-day Christianity. The very nature of the surroundings of those pioneers taught them to feel each other's woe, to share each other's joy, and live in communal integrity. Therefore it is not strange that among the old settlers of this county a deep-seated friendship existed and grew and strengthened with their advancing years. The incidents peculiar to life in a new country - the privations and trials of early settlement in the wilderness of Allen County, were well calculated to test, not only the physical powers of endurance, but, also, the moral, kind, generous attributee of true womanhood and manhood, and bring to the surface all that may be in them of good or evil. /

In this chapter an effort is made u> deal in a thorough manner with the pioneers and old settlers of the county. The whole story is based upon the authority of records, and thus, at least, claims authenticity, a fact which must go far to compensate for the absence of legendary or unauthenticated relations.

Assessment Boll Of 1834

of Allen County, is selected for the reason that it is the oldest record of assessments which Auditor Poling was able to discover among the old books of his ofiSce. A recapitulation of assessments gives the following footings: Number of acres of land, 18,956; assessed value, $16,783; 467 town lots valued at $12,823.50; 657 horses, valued at $27,000; 1,058 cattle, valued at $8,464; merchants' stock, assessed value $8,557; physicians and lawyers were assessed at $2,875, giving a total assessed valuation of $69,461.

The first permanent settlers in the county were Andrew Russell, Peter Diltz and William Van Ausdall, all of whom were old residents of Montgomery County, Ohio.

Alexander Allison, a native of Pennsylvania, settled in Bath Township in 1827. In 1830 he purchased Government lands on Section 8, and made the county his home until his death in 1871.

Samuel Baxter settled in Amanda Township in 1828 with his sons, Curtiss and Sdiith Baxter. The latter came with him when only four years of age, and the former when six years old. His death took place August 10, 1830, while Mrs. Baxter lived until August 26, 1854.

D. B. Beardsley, one of the old settlers of Hancock Couniy, was also a pioneer of Allen. For years he has served as Justice of the Peace of Hancock County, and has written a book of historical reminiscences on that division of the State.

Isaac Bowyer and bis wife Elizabeth purchased a farm on Section 18 in 1830, and a'year later became members of the first Methodist Church of Elida.

Daniel Boyer, a Pennsylvanian, settled at Lima in 1836. In 1837 he was married to Miss Hnghes, a sister of Judge Hughes, who died here in April, 1851. He died October 26, 1884, aged seventy- three years.

Griffith Breese settled on Section 10, Shawnee Township, in 1832. This was the site of a Shawnee village, as then evidenced by seveu cabins and eighty apple trees. This pioneer died in 1848. His widow died in 1852, while his son, William D. Breese, who came with him in 1832, is still a resident of the county.

William Bryan settled in German Township in 1830 with his wife Elizabeth. Both of them were among the first members of the Methodist Society organized there the following year.

Harvey Buckmister, one of the old traders of the Hollister Fur Company, a pioneeer of Hardin County, must be also credited with being an old resident of Allen County.

John Chapman, or ^Johnny Appleseed," a Swedenborgian, was in Jefferson County, Ohio, as early as 1801. He planted sixteen bushels of apple seed on the Butler farm on the Walhonding Biver. On entering a house he would lie down on the floor and ask the people, '' Will you have some fresh news from heaven?" He was born in Boston in 1775. In April, 1828, he leased a farm from William B. Hedges below Shanesvilla His death took place near Fort Wayne in 1845, aged seventy-two years. This Chapman was a composition of eccentricities. S. C. Mc. Cullough, in his reminiscences, states that he visited a nursery on the Sunderland farm in Amanda Township, soon after he commenced to clear his own farm in 1835. He was told that the trees were planted by John Chapman some years before; and further, that the old man had been along the Ottawa and Auglaize Rivers seeking out alluvial lands to set out orchards, before white men had effected a settlement in Allen County. It is probable that "Johnny" carried out his benevolent work here even prior to the building of Fort Amanda. That he was here about 1812-1813 is manifested in the number, variety and age of the trees which sprung from the seeds planted by him along Wayne's trace.

Solomon Carr, who with his family settled in Marion Township in 1826, is now represented by his son, Abner Carr, one of the few survivors of pioneer days.

William Chaffee, a Baptist preacher, settled at Lima about 1833. {Vide History Baptist Chnrch.) He purchased a farm on Section 1, Shawnee Township, in 1832. He amassed a fair sum of money; lost it or wasted it, was sent to an insane asylum at Indianapolis, and there died.

His son, also John F. Cole, is an old resident of Lima.

Theodore E. Cunningham, whose personal history appears in the third part of this work, is one of the senior old residents, and even now one of the ablest lawyers of the county. In 1866 he was delegate to the Johnson Constitutional Convention.

Previous to his leaving the county, however, he erected a log-cabin for the Sunderland family in 1821.

Francis Deuchoquette, the French interpreter, whose knowledge of the Shawnees and their language was only equalled by his desire for justice, was denied employment in 1831 by the wily and unprincipled Indian Commissioner Gardner. He set out, that year, to accompany the Shawnee delegation to Washington, but died en route and was buried amid the lamentations of that people for whom he sought justica Deuchoquette Township, formerly a portion of Allen County, is named after him.

The late C. C. Marshall, in a reference to this man, says: **I became acquainted in 1831 with Francis Deuchoquette, the old Frenchman who had lived a long time among the Shawnees, and is said to have interceded for the life of Dr. Knight, when Col. William Crawford was burned by the Delawaree near the Tymochtee, in Wyandot County, after his capture in 1782.

In the foregoing record there are many names mentioned under one heading. Thus, under the name Turner, there are no less than fourteen pioneers mentioned. The object of this portion of the chapter is to gather, as nearly as possible, the names of the very earliest settlers; so that, where the biographical historian fails to obtain their history, the writer of the general history may be satisfied that at least a brief personal reference is made to them in his own division of the work.

Mabbuoe Beoord Of Pionbeb Days

Such a record as this claims a double value. It places before the reader a great number of names connected* with the first years of the county's progresa It points out the time when the young men and women of those years assumed the duties and responsibilities of married life, and in a measure chronicles the beginning of their true citizenship. The record from 1881 to 1845 is selected to supplement the history of pioneer times. The extent of the several matrimonial stories related in the original books since 1845, and the fact that such stories are comparatively modem and accessible to the public, are a few of the reasons why the record should not be continued here. The editor of the Democratic Times, Mr. Self ridge, gave to his readers in 1883-^ a very full review of marriages, so far as registered, which took place in this county. Charles F. Price, city editor of the Daily Times, continued the marriage chronology down to 1884, thus securing and making easy of access the record which is destined to take a most important place, if not the most important, among the records of the county.
