Stark County, Illinois - Chapter with an unread heading (no. 4 of those read), 1887

Exploration And Occupation

IIP]X the illustrious Mur([uette was on his return voyao'e u[) the Illinois river, it is related that he met many of the orig-- inal Indian occupiers of the valley, just returned from their trans-Mississip})i exile, to which the Iro(}uois had driven them. When La Salle came here over two hundi'ed years ago, he found the Peorias in full })ossession of the country, with their })rincipal town at the outlet of the lake. There a great trading post was founded by the French, and continued down to the war of 1812. At this time Governor Edwards ordered the destruction of the seventy dwellings constituting the town and the banishment of the inhabitants, owing to their known sympathy with the Jh'itish. In 1S14 Fort Clark was constructed, then deserted, and four years later Abner Eads and Josiah Fulton settled there as the first white American pioneers. This was the actual beginning of ' settlement on the military tract in April, 1819, by the advance guard of the '' Shoal Greek Golony.'''

Harvey L. Ross, in his youthful days, was fond of hunting and trading with the Indians. When but seven years of age he had killed wild turkeys, geese, and small game of almost every kind, and at twelve thoug-ht nothino- of killino- a deer. lie savs he also remembers catching twelve wolves in less than a month in steel traps placed near a dead iiorse. He relates some incidents of the first trading ex])edition in which he was eno-ao-ed, which occurred in 1828. He started from Lewistown in com])anv with Edward Plude, a Frenchman and Indian inteq)reter, and ''BiU"' Eveland, son of John Eveland. Eveland was a large, powerful man, \vell actpiainted with the country and familiar with the Indian character. They loaded a t\\'o-horse wagon at Lewistown with o-oods and ti'aveled through what is now known as Knox. Stark and Peoria counties, where they found a large number of Indians and traded their goods to advantage. They returned home with their wagon loaded with furs and deer skins. They were gone three weeks and had traveled about one hundred and fifty miles, meeting only with two white settlers after leaving the neigh l)orhoo(l of C^anton.

Among the men who came about this time was Isaac I>. Essex, who was a})pointed Indian teacher by Jesse Walker, the first Methodist preacher in the State. Although the school was for the benefit of the Indians, white chddren. what few there were, were permitted to attend. The names of the white scholars, as far as remend)ered by Ga plain Haacke, were Lawson Holland, N. Smith, Sally Eads, J. Sharp, J. and

KoWert Latham, J). Avery. Andrew Avery, John and James Dixon, Wilham, M. C, and Warren Bogardus. Essex taught several terms and then moved to a claim a little below Rock Island. His claim was made on the top of a blntf overlooking the jNIississippi river, where he attempted to build a city, which he called Quebec. But the attempt failed, and Quebec was lost. In later years he returned to Peoria, and in the fall of 1828 visited this county, staked his claim on the northeast (piarter of section 15, Essex townshi]), prepared the logs and siding for liis future house, and, returning to "Shoal creek," remained thereuntil April, 1829, when he set out to settle finally in the wilderness. AVith him were his wife and children, and accompanying him from Prince's Grove were Daniel Prince, Frank Thomas, Stephen French, Simon Reed, and Revs. Silliman and Allen, P)aptist preachers. They formed the " Building Bee," who raised the first cabin in Stark county within twenty-four hours after arriving on the spot, where the first settler had pre})ared the lumber a few months before. Following the Essex family came John B. Dodge, a son-in-law of Benjamin Smith, and a relative of Elder Silliman. He built his cabin on section 14, near the Essex cabin, and took all the parts credited to him in other chapters, until killed at Rock Island b}^ a desperado from Kentucky.

In ]\[arch, 1830, Squire Benjamin Smith. William P. Sewell, and Greenleaf Smith arrived and erected the third building in the county, near that of Dodge, who left his cabin to John E. Owings in 1831. William D. Grant built a shanty on what Avas known as ''The James Ilolgate Farm," in 1881, and in this year also came Thomas and Elizabeth Essex, parents of the pioneer settler, with their children, Thomas, David, AVilliam, and Joseph Essex, and Mrs. Cooper with her husband David. Harris W. Miner, mentioned at the beginning of the marriage record, Peter Miner, and Sylvanus IMoore, named in the military, organic, legal and political chapters, and the quiet David Gregory, were all here.

In 1832 Major McClenahan came to Spoon river early in the spring, with nine of his children. He took possession of Peter Miner's cabin near Wyoming, and resided there for a fcAV months until the first improvements were completed in Goshen township, known as the Clenahan Settlement." The male adults of the family then were Elijah, Elijah, Jr., James and Robert. AVithin this and the succeeding two 3"ears came James Holgate, Miss Marsh, Thomas AVinn, Hugh AYliite, Lewis Sturms, ]\Iinott Silliman, John Love, James ACorrow. John P. Hayes, Jesse Heath, John AlcClure, Jason Hopkins, Hugh Alontgomery, Elias Love, Thom. Leeks, A. Baker, Pardon B. Dodge, and Henry and Samuel Seeley, some of whom l^rought large families. Henry AlcClenahan came late in 1834, and the next year, Thomas Bradford and Geo. Parker.

In December, 1835, a party arrived at Osceola Grove under the leadership of Alajor Robert Moore. This })arty comprised the leader, with James Buswell, Isaac Spencer, Thomas AVatts, Giles C. Dana, Peter Pi-att, and Dr. Pratt, but all did not settle jiermanentlv there. In June, 1830, came William Hall, Mrs. AVilliam Hall, Robert and Mary Hall, Archil)ahl A^andyke and wife, Charles A^andyke, Myrtle G. Brace,'^ Brady

Fowler, E. S. Brodhead, John Davis family, Henderson family, Thomas family, William Mahany. William Godle}^ the Don-ance family. William and Henry Dunbar, David and George ISinimerman. Motfetts, Plodg-esons, Dunns, Wyckoffs, Websters, Emerys, Chatfields, Trickles, Ecklevs, Likes or Lakes, Barnetts, and Jacob Sniitli, Henry Butler, Jarville Chaffee, W. E. Buckingham (called by General Thomas the " Buke of Duckingham" ), Simeon Ellis, Dextei' Wall, Ira and Cyril AVard, 8. G. Worley, William Ogle, Adam Da}^ Henry Sweet, Asher W. Smith, Lewis and Chris. Sammis, Ephraim Barrett, William Bowen, Adam Perry, Eliphalet Ellzworthor Ellsworth, Samuel Love, Peter Sharer. L. Townsend, Henry lireese, Samuel Butler, Henry Sweet, Hugh Frail, Joseph Newton, Israel Seeley, Daniel Dobbins, and Henry and Matthias Sturms. All may be said to be here prior to the close of the year 1836, with others younger and less ])rominent, whose names appeal' in other cha})ters. From the beginning of 1S3T to the spring of IS3I> numv others joined the settlers here, com|)leting the picmeer circle, aud ready to accept the res})onsibility of the local government granted to them m the latter year. The following copy of the original assessment roil almost covers the whole list of the pioneers of Stark county :

1812, our government laid off a tract of land in Illinois for the soldiers who participated in that war. The land thus a}>pro))riated was embraced in the region between the Mississi])pi and the Illinois rivers, and extended as far northward as the north line of Bureau and Henry counties. To it the name "Military Tract" was given, and by that name this section is still known. Within this boundary is emlDraced one of the most fertile regions of the globe. Scarcely liad Congress made the proper provisions to enable the soldiers to secure their land ere a few of the most dai'ing and I'esolute started to })ossess it. There were only a few, however, who at first regarded their '' (juarter section " of sufficient value to induce them to endure the hardships of the ])ioneer in its settlement and im])rovement. ]\Iany of them sold their patent to a fine ''prairie quarter" foi* one liuiuh-ed dollai's. others for less, while some traded* theirs for a horse, a cow, or a watch, regarding themselves as just so much ahead. This was a source of no little trou])le to the actual settlers, as shown furthei' on in tliis volume, for they could not always tell which quarter of land belonged to a soldier, or which was " Congress land '' and could be ])re('m])ted. Even when a settler found a suitable location known to be " ])atent land," with a desire to purchase, he experienced great difficulty in finding the owner, and often did nc^t find him until he had j)ut Imndi'eds of dollars' worth of improvements on it, when the patentee was sure to ttirn up. It was seldom that a "patentee" could be found at the time of settlement, and many of the early settlers presumed that the owner never would be known ; but in many instances, after a patent quarter section was made valuable by improvement, the original patent would be brought on by some one, who would oust the occupant and take ])ossession, sometimes })aying him something for his improvements and sometimes not. Many holders of ]iatents had no ])ity. This condition of affairs presented a tem])tation to mei'ciiess "land sharks," who would come intcj this section and woi'lv \\\) cases, ostensibly for the original ])atentees, but really for theii- own pockets. The most notorious of these was one Toliver Craig, who actually made it a business to forge patents and deeds. This he cai-ried on extensively from 1847 to 1854, especially in Knox and Fulton counties. He had forty bogus deeds put on record in one day at Knoxville. He was arrested in New York State in 18.54, by O. M. Boggess, of Monmouth, and taken to the jail at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he attempted suicide by arsenic ; but at the end of a year he was released on bail. The settlers around Osceola Clrove, with men from other townships, organized an anti-claim jumpers' society, which chc-cked, effectually, the

Marriage Record 1831-1860

AKIIIA(4E was not always tlie voluntary proceedin*^- we now find it. It ^vas compulsory among the Greeks. The Spartans could not tolerate celibacy, and by the laws of Lvcurgus criminal proceedings could be taken against those wiio married too late or nnsuital)ly, as well as against those who did not many at all. It went hard with the latter. Should any man remain single bevond a certain age he was ])nblicly scorned, and was made to do penance by walkingnaked in the winter through the marketplace, singing a satii-icid song on himself. In the French settlement of Canada women were sent over after the men, and the single men, that they might be forced to marry, were subjected to heavy taxation and to restrictions on their trade and their movements generally. Those who married were dealt with, on the other hand, in a generous s])irit. Not only were thev ])rovided with a good wife and comfortable home, but they were awarded according to the number of their offs]3ring. The father of ten children was pensioned for life at the rate of 3o0 livresa year. If he had twelve cliildren the allowance was increased to 400 livres, and it went up to 1,2(>0 livres when fifteen children blessed the union. The conditions were reversed in the English colonies, for there the settlers eagerly welcomed the other sex, and did not hesitate to pay traders heavily in tobacco weight for every marriageable woman they In'ought over. As far l)ack, however, as 1695 the local authorities of Eastham in Massachusetts voted that every unmarried man in the township should kill six blackbirds or three crows yearly while he remained single, ])rodncing the scalps in proof, an<l as a penalty for not ol)eying the order he was forbidden to marry until he had made up all ai-rears. The requirement in this case was almost nominal ; but it was not so in'Marvland, where half a century later the Colonial Assembly imposed a tax of five shillings yearly upon all bachelors above thirtyfive years of age (and on widowers without children) who were possessed of 4'3oo. There was a similar oraduated tax on bachelors in Eno-- land in tiie I'eign of William III. Any commoner who was a bachelor at twenty-five had to i)ay a shillint)- fine, yearly, and the amount was mcreased in accor'(hince with rank or title, any ducal ofi'ender being taxed t(j the extent of i;12 lOs. yearly. The taxes grew heavier l)efore they were removed, and the time came when bachelors were called upon to ])ay an extra tax on their servants. Thus we see the olil states as well as young ones have found out that their prosperity depends u[K)n its married citizens. The best subjects, as Lord I>acon points out, are those in this relationship, the reason he o-ives for this conclusion being that single are " light to runaway," while " he that hath a wife and children hath given hostages to fortune."

During this time a license was issued to Minott Silliman, hut as the ceremony was not jjerfornied in Putnam county the document and certificate were recorded at St. Louis in 1833.

The marriage of llai-ris W. Miner and Miss Nancy C-Ji'oss, in the winter of 1831-2, was the lirst between white American settlers within the bounds of Stark county. Squire Hiram M. Curry, of Peoria

"In Febrnarv. 1S3-1-." says Mrs; Shallenl)urger. -* thei-e was a wedding' at tlie house of James Ilolgate. of which we can still learn somethino". This was between a ii-entleman bv the name of ]\IcClure and a sister of Airs. Holgate. Miss Marsh. The guests were Mr. and Airs. Sylvanus Moore, Mr. and Airs. Greenleaf Smith, Air. and Airs. John Dodofe, Air. and Airs. Samuel Seelev and Jesse Heath. AVhether Squire Smith or some wandering jireaclier performed the ceremony, Mr. Holgate did not inform us, but said he had, in 1834. but a cal)in sixteen feet square, and well filled with the usual comforts of })ioneer life. They took the door from its hinges to add to the tal)le. and as tlie weather was mild for the season, the men stood outside while the feast was spread. Then ' bee gums ' were brought in and puncheons laid on them for seats, and the}" had an excellent dinner, no scarcity of anything Init room. The re]iast over, the men had again to retire to the ' sky parlor " until the table could be cleai'ed and the door restored to its place, when the}' all managed to get inside and had a gay time. But the toilets must be left to the imagination of the reader."

The first marriao'e license in this countv was issued bv the first clerk, over forty years ago. AVe give the form of the license and certificate in full :
