When I hit the sourced URL you posted, it came up unavailable, can you give it to me as the author and title. This is very interesting, That trace provided a major highway between those two locations. I really really delighted to have this information. If anyone has complied a family history or list for Jeremiah and Blondius, it apparently has not been posted to Ancestry. Jeremiah appears in so many records with Simon. But I wondered if there might also be a son Jeremiah. Here is another record you might find of interest and I am not clear at this time exactly what the debt was all about. St. Clair County Case 2679, Book B 185, C 22.52Peter Kuykendall v. Simon Vanorsdal et al, the al. being Jeremiah Kuykendall. a Capius Debt in 1819. Now both Simon and Jeremiah were involved in the kidnapping of the Kuykendall Slaves beginning in 1802 or so. Supposidly Jeremiah was going to return them to Hampshire County to be sold, but a series of freedom lawsuits by Phyllis and her children, Bob, Kate, Hanah, George, Peggy and Lydia delayed that and it never occurred, must I am sure to the great annoyance of Peter Kuykendall and his siblings, so the debt might be about those cases. The debt was for $433.35 1/2 with damages of #100.00 filed the 27 day of May 1814. A notation at the bottom of the first page reads,"On the Back of which said writ is the following Endorsement, to wit, "this is an action founded on a note under seal and bail is requested, sig! ned John Johnson Att. for Plaintiff. and on which said writ is the following return, to wit 'Executed on both, but could not commit Simon Vanorsdal to the Jail, he being a Ranger in the United States SErvice. Jeremiah Claypoole running at large for want of a Jail, signed H. J. Mills." They eventually rounded them up and I think Peter was awarded the money. I appreciate the information which you posted and hopefully, others will be able to add more to this story. Would you please share your first name so I can correctly cite the information you have shared. Do you descend from John?
