Thank you so much for your census/cemetery look-up offer! >From Tombstone Records of Scott Co. Iowa on Ancestry I have: Page: 97 Name: Lena E. CLENDENEN Cemetery: Oakdale Town: Dav. Comment: {no dates}: Lot 164 I am seeking her date of death as well as her husband Frank Leslie CLENDENEN. I would appreciate any information you could provide. Thank you, Cathy O'Hare

I can do lookups for Iowa cemeteries and all censuses from 1790 to 1920 (except 1900 and 1910 unless you have the ED# and page number)

I have very little material on Michigan, or would dig in and try to help - Jim

HI there :-)! What a generous offer :-)! My MARGARET (MAGGIE) ROUSE, born in Wales approx 1836,, (nee DAVIES), is said to have died sometime between 1879-1881 in Iowa, according to relatives, but no clue where. I hope you can find her :-)! TIA, Janet & Family...ps, can you also do a census check for her in Michigan, or do you just have Iowa available? She had at least two children in Michigan 1853-1856 with FRANKLIN ROUSE, (born approx 1833 somewhere in MONROE CO, NY).....and I am figuring that her relatives, the Davies, lived nearby.Tia again, Janet & Family ----- Original Message ----- From: <CMurcia7@aol.com> To: <IASCOTT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 11:03 AM Subject: [IASCOTT] census/cemetery lookup offer > I can do lookups for Iowa cemeteries and all censuses from 1790 to 1920 > (except 1900 and 1910 unless you have the ED# and page number) > > > ==== IASCOTT Mailing List ==== > Check out Cathy Labath's IAGenWeb site! > http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >

About this time a company of about forty men stopped at Kellogg's Grove and struck their tents for the night. It being a rainy night one of the sentinels took shelter near the body of a large tree. Very unexpectedly an Indian put his hand on his shoulder, which was as great a surprise to the Indian as to the soldier. The soldier fired his gun straight up in the air, and our folks, hearing the report, supposed they were attacked by the Indians and left their tents and went into the house for safety. My brother, R. H. Spencer and four others, were not awakened by the firing, and slept in the tent until morning. The Indians had been prowling around in search of horses and early in the morning our men got on their trail; the grass being wet they could easily follow it on a fast trot. In about ten miles they came in sight of the Indians. There were only four of them, and they made a signal to give themselves up. But old General Whiteside, who had fought against the Indians in 1812, and for whom Whiteside county was named, showed them that they must fight. The Indians ran into a deep ravine where the water had gullied a large hole, and in this they took shelter. The situation was such that the folks had to get very near in order to see the Indians. This they did by taking advantage of the large trees, which were a good protection. Behind one tree were three or four men when one of them, a large man, stepped out and said, "Let me give them a pop," and fired, and in return recieved two bullets through his body. General Whiteside now said: "Boys, rush on them - their guns are empty." They closed upon them, killing them all. They now started on their return, four men carrying the wounded man, taking turns. After traveling several miles they were attacked by a superior force of the enemy and in turn had to flee for safety. General Whiteside tried hard to make a stand with fifteen or twenty men, to check the Indians for a few minutes, but could not succeed, and the men who were carrying the wounded man came near being left to the mercy of the Indians, as the men detailed to hold their horses, only thinking of themselves, were riding away, leading their horses with them. While they were mounting their horses my brother saw an Indian on a white horse thrust a long spear into the wounded man, whom they were obliged to leave on the ground. The next man who came along with his tomahawk cut off the wounded man's head. In this first attack the Indians killed two of our men besides the one at first wounded. During the trouble with the Indians there was an old man who, in his religious belief, was a Dunkard, who started from the frontier settlement about La Salle, to go to Chicago, about 100 miles distant. His friends did all they could to dissuade him from going, as he must make the journey on horseback and alone. But he was determined to go, feeling that he would not be disturbed in the journey; that an overruling power would protect him against the Indians. After leaving the settlement, when a few miles on his way, he was discovered by a band of Indians. On coming up with them he permitted them to come within a few yards of him without showing the least fear. This sect, unlike people of his time, wore their beards long and full, and the Indians had never seen any one with a long beard before. From his strange look and behavior they were awe-struck, and debated among themselves what was best to do with the old man. The old man had a very fine horse, which seemed to decide the question, and so, after following along with him for some time they killed him. On their return to camp that night they found some Pottawattamies in their camp and told them they had killed the devil that day, exhibiting the scalp as it had been taken off, with the beard attached. The Indians were now forced to take a position on the upper part of Rock river, occupying the country from lake Koshkonong to where Whitewater now stands. This being wooded country it was very difficult to drive them out. After fighting and skirmishing with them from the middle of May until the last of July, they finally got them started for the Mississippi. The Indians now made all possible haste for Iowa; our army pursuing them closely, overtook them near the Wisconsin river. On the bluff, about five miles from the river, the Indians made their stand and fought one of the hardest battles of the war. The Indians were found in the high grass and by taking advantage of their hiding place would load their guns, rise up and fire, then drop down again and load. They left more than forty dead on the ground and our army, as they followed them up, found their dead scattered for several days. It was believed they lost more than eighty, who were killed, or died from their wounds. This battle was fought by the Indians to give time to get their families across the Wisconsin river. Here they very hastily made bark canoes, taking the bark from large elm trees. Cutting the bark eight or ten feet long they shaved the ends, making it thin and pliable, so they could tie it together and in this way keep the water out. This is not the way of making a regular bark canoe, but a very good substitute. In these rude canoes ninety women and children, and one old man, came down the river to its mouth where they were intercepted by our people and brought to Rock Island and held as prisoners. Our army was detained at the Wisconsin river several days in crossing. It being a very rapid stream it was difficult to cross and as there were no boats they took and old hewed log house and made a raft or rafts and finally succeeded in crossing. While making preparations to cross the river, one night, after the Indians had all left, there came an Indian in the night and standing on a high point on the opposite side from our army, with a very powerful voice, which could be distinctly understood, said, "If the whites would let the Indians go they would go back to Iowa and remain quiet and peaceable." But our army was now anxious to punish them, and so hastened across the river, took their trail, which brought them to the Mississippi. They found, at all the camping places of the Indian, skeletons of their horses, as they were now reduced to this kind of food, having no time to hunt, pressing with all their energy to reach the Mississippi before our army should overtake and destroy them. But after all their exertions, their great suffering from hunger and exhaustion, they were doomed to disappointment. They had succeeded in reaching the river and had safely crossed many of their women and children before our army came up. Here at the river was fought the second hard battle, killing 150 in the high weeds and grass. One can get some idea of their great hunger from a little circumstance that happened there. It became necessary to amputate the arm of a little girl about ten years old. Some one gave her a biscuit which she continued to eat during the operation. During the trouble with the Indians the government brought down a band of 150 Sioux who were the most dreaded enemy our Indians had, on account of their great numbers. They quartered them at Galena and tried to get them in the contest, but did not succeed, they being too cowardly to attack the Sauks and Foxes when they were armed, and they quietly slipped away in the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Debbie Clough G-erischer G-erischer Family Web Site http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/ Assistant CC, Iowa Gen Web, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ List Manager for: IASCOTT-L * G-erischer-L * D-encker-L Fitzpatirck-L * V-lerebome-L * Huntington-L * Otis-L * Algar-L EIGS-L * Pickens-L * McNab-L * Patris-L - Rankin-L

The troops were officered by General Atkinson, Colonel Zachary Taylor, afterwards president of the United States, Captain Abraham Lincoln, who filled the same high office, Captain, afterwards Major General, Harney, and other officers. Captain Lincoln belonged to the volunteer forces and the others to the regulars. It was about the middle of May, and the moon being full the night was beautiful. The men were enjoying themselves as I had not seen them before, little thinking that so near them their friends were fleeing for safety and some were being overtaken and killed. About 10 o'clock the next morning we met a young man by the name of Hultz from Dixon's ferry, who told us of Major Stillman's defeat by the Indians, and that there was probably a great loss of life. Major Stillman had rendezvoused at Dixon with about 300 men that had been raised in the neighborhood of Peoria, while the governor and his men rendezvoused at Beardstown. The governor was ordered to this place and when he reached here Major Stillman had been several days in camp; his men already tired of camp life, Stillman proposed to the governor while he was waiting for General Atkinson and the boats to take his men and go and see where the Indians were. The governor consented to their going, and they drew rations for four or five days. According to army regulations at that time, whiskey constituted a part of the rations. On the first day out they seemed to conclude they could carry their whiskey best by drinking it all in one day and before night they had very nearly accomplished this task and a good many of them were not altogether sober. About an hour before sundown they went into camp within three or four miles of the Indians. They had not been in camp long before Black Hawk sent three of his braves with a flag of truce, saying for Black Hawk "That is was now night, and for that reason he did not come himself, but that he would come in the morning and talk with them, and did not intend to fight." Black Hawk sent five of his men out on the prairie to see how their flag was received. About twenty or thirty of our men, being under the influence of whiskey, gathered up their horses and guns and rode out to where these Indians were sitting, apparently unconcerned, not expecting any harm. They allowed our men to come within a few feet of them, when our men, be it said to their shame, deliberately raised their guns, killing three of the Indians, the other two fleeing to their encampment. The indians who brought the flag of truce took advantage of the flurry, sprang away and escaped. Now our folks prepared to meet the Indians, as they felt sure of a fight. They mounted, formed in line and moved slowly towards the Indian encampment. As soon as the news of the attack on their men reached the Indians they flew to arms in the greatest possible speed, and came on to the fight. The Indians commenced firing at a long distance and before many shots had been fired our men commenced a stampede for Dixon, the Indians close in the rear, killing all who were unhorsed in the fight. The horse of Black Buffalo came into Dixon that night - he had left the Indians again. The men who first came into Dixon reported that a large part of the command had been killed and it was not known for some time but that it was so. A considerable number of the men from the country about the Illinois river, instead of coming into Dixon, went to their homes. The next day the governor sent out a strong force to bury the dead. They found eleven whites killed, scattered along for several miles, and not more than five or six Indians, including the three killed on the prairie. There was an Indian living here by the name of Neapope, who, before General Gaines came here, had gone to Malden, in Canada. The British part of our Indians made a practice, as well as most of the Indians of the northwest, of going to Canada to pay court to the English. Colonel Davenport told me they would collect in large numbers on the Detroit side of the river and the authorities at Malden would fix on a particular day for each tribe to cross, and would give them a day's entertainment. They prepared a feast and met the Indians with a band of music, and escorted them into the fort where a great deal was done for their pleasure and amusement. Neapope and some others had gone to Canada before there was any demonstration, in 1831, to drive them off, and came back in the fall in perfect ignorance of the removal of the Indians. During the winters of 1831-2 Neapope continued to run back and forth from our Indians to the Winnebagoes and Pottawattamies, making Black Hawk believe that when he got up Rock river these tribes would help him, and when he reached Milwaukee the English would assist him. When Black Hawk, on his way up Rock river, reached Sycamore creek, where our army found him, those Indians told him they could not bring themselves into trouble with the government and consequently he could not look to them for assistance. After meeting these Indians I have not the least doubt but Black Hawk intended to give himself and people up without making any resistance, had our men not been intoxicated and therefore violated his flag of truce. The time was now past for parleying with the Indians. From this time the prospect was war. The Indians now flew to unprotected white settlements, waylaid the roads leading from one point to another, killing a number of people in a few days. There were fifteen killed on Indian creek. They carried off captive two young ladies by the name of Hall, after killing all the other members of the family except a brother, quite a young boy, who made his escape. These young ladies were afterwards bought by the Pottawattamies, who paid for them in horses, and returned them to our government. Their clothes being quite shabby, the ladies of Galena gave them new clothing and they were brought to Rock Island on their way to Morgan county. They waylaid the roads leading from Dixon to Galena. At Buffalo Grove a party of men were passing, unconscious of danger, as the settlements were too far apart to get any news so soon of Stillman's defeat. One of this party was our Indian agent by the name of Savry, another Thomas Kinney and another by the name of Hawley; the other members of the party I cannot name. The Indians lay behind a large, long log, near the road. They fired, killing one man and one horse, then killing the man who had lost his horse. Mr. Savry was one of the killed. Mr. Hawley, having a very fine horse, they followed him in hot pursuit for thirty miles. After this terrible chase they run his horse in marshy ground and he fell a victim to their savage rage. Mr. Hawley was a brother of the late Captain Hawley, of Pleasant Valley, Scott county, Iowa. This account was given me by Thomas Kinney, a neighbor of mine, who was one of the party. About twenty miles east of Galena Lieutenant Aubery, of our old command, started to carry a dispatch from Fort Hamilton, a short distance. His horse soon returned with a bloody saddle and it was evident he had been shot by the Indians. It so happened that old General Dodge, with twenty men, was at the fort, and he started quickly in pursuit. Soon finding the dead man, they followed the trail of the Indians, which by the long grass is easily done. They soon came in sight of them, thirteen in all, on foot. They were making their way in great haste to the Pecatonica bottom, where the grass was from six to eight feet high. The general dismounted, detailing every fourth man to hold the horses, leaving fifteen men to pursue the Indians. They followed the trail almost to the river when suddenly the Indians sprang up and fired upon them, killing two of our men, one of these being Samuel Wells, a son of Rinnah Wells, and a member of our old company. Our men returned their fire, bringing down eleven of the Indians the first fire, the remaining two taking refuge in the river, trying to make their escape. Our men, reloading their guns, fired, killing them in the water, thus securing the thirteen. About eight or ten miles north of Galena where two men were at work in a corn field, one plowing, the other hoeing corn, two Indians placed themselves so that the man plowing would come near them, killing him the first fire. The other, seeing his companion shot down, and having no means of defense, took to his heels for Galena. The Indians pursued him several miles, but, being a swift runner, he made his escape. The Indians returned to the house, taking what suited their fancy. There was a large canoe at the house and it being too heavy for them to get to the river, they found a crosscut saw in the house and cut off as much as much as could ferry them over the river, and made good their escape. Some twenty miles southeast from Galena, where Elizabeth now is, there was a small settlement of miners, who had erected a rude fort for their protection. An old man by the name of Dixon, who was a frontier man, and well accustomed to Indians, started for Dixon's ferry, accompanied by a man on foot. About a mile from the place of starting they met a large force of Indians, who fired on them, wounding the man on foot. The country being rough and wooded, Dixon, by his dexterity, riding about rapidly, showing himself in many different places in a short time, gave the Indians to believe they had a large force of armed and mounted men to contend with. In this way Dixon gave the wounded man time to reach the fort and appraise the settlers of their danger. The people had scattered out about their business but the alarm being given they were immediately collected in the fort. If it had not been for Dixon's ingenious manoeuvering, detaining the Indians, they must have been all massacred as they had hardly time to reach the fort before the Indians took possession of the village and surrounded the fort. The Indians could go from one house to another with comparative safety. They plundered the houses of whatever suited their fancy, and carried off all the valuables, as well as most of the provisions in the village. Watching about the fort, if anyone showed himself inside he was fired on by them. One man, showing his head above the fort, received a bullet, breaking his neck. Dixon, instead of stopping at the fort, pressed on to Galena to get a force for their relief. They came on as rapidly as possible and when a short distance south of Elizabeth they found a large force of Indians secreted in the bushes and grass. The Indians, allowing our men to come within a few feet of them, fired, killing several, among others Mr. George Ames, a brother of Mrs. William Brooks, Sr. About this time there were about seventy regular soldiers stationed at Kellogg's Grove, there being a large hewed log house there which made a safe rendezvous for persons going from one point to another, or for those hard pressed by the Indians, which was often the case. One of our mounted companies was driven in by the Indians and was obliged to flee to this place for safety. Hitching their horses as near the house as possible, so as to be able to protect them somewhat from the Indians, they took shelter in the house. The Indians crept up among the trees and shot down fifty-seven horses. They saw one horse acting very strangely and thought they could see something in the weeds in front of him. They concluded this was an Indian and so three or four shots were fired at him. After the Indians had left, in looking over the battlefield, some of the men from this neighborhood recognized Black Buffalo as the man who was in the weeds. Trading horses had brought him to his death, as he had lost his horse at Stillman's defeat and was trying to get another. He had a long stick with which he took the bridle off the stake of the fence, and was trying to creep along and lead him away, but the horse being afraid of him, caused our men to discover and kill him.

In 1831 came a new era in our history.  The Indians returned in large numbers, perhaps as many as in 1829, and with quite a different spirit towards the whites.  Black Hawk gave the settlers to understand that after this season they must go south of Rock river, or above Pleasant Valley.  He said this district between the rivers should be occupied exclusively by the Indians, giving several reasons why they could not afford to give up these pleasant hunting grounds.  One reason was that on this side of the Mississippi they were comparatively safe from their enemies and another that the region abounded with game and fish and was suited to their mode of living, and they would not give it up.  Black Hawk said we could all stay this season, except Joshua Vandruff and Rinnah Wells, who lived in the midst of their village and had a large stock of cattle, which troubled the Indians a great deal.  Mr. Vandruff showed Black Hawk that it would be very hard for him to leave on so short a notice, as he was a poor man and had twelve children.  Black Hawk finally consented that he could stay another season, but Mr. Wells must go, and he would give him until the next day to make his choice whether he would go willingly or be put off.  Mr. Wells consulted with his friends, and finally consented to leave in thirty days.  This move on the part of the Indians made it necessary for the settlers to look about and see what they could do for their protection.  We had petitioned the governor of the state in the summer of 1829 without his taking any notice, but now we concluded to try it again.  We made a statement of our grievances, and of the order of Black Hawk for our removal and forwarded it with all possible haste to the governor.  This had the desired effect.  The governor moved immediately, going first to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, where he found "Old General Gaines."  He told the General that if he would not or could not go, he would do it himself.  The General concluded to undertake the business, and, taking the Sixth Regiment, which was then lying at Jefferson Barracks, he proceeded at once to Rock island.  When here he commenced firing morning and evening guns, which had not been the practice, also target shooting with his cannon.  He had all the white settlers come into the fort, bringing all their horses and cattle onto the island as expeditiously as possible.  When this was done he sent for Black Hawk for a talk with him about the village and a day was fixed for a meeting.  Keokuk and some of his friends came up from their village on the Iowa river and came on to the island.  General Gaines, the officers of the Sixth Regiment, the officers of the garrison, with the citizens, and Keokuk and his friends, met in the council house.  Black Hawk, with seventy-five to 100 warriors, nicely dressed and painted, drew near.  When within about 100 yards of the council house they commenced singing in a very loud voice, which seemed to alarm Keokuk and party so much that they left in great haste.  Those who understood the Indians best thought, from the singing and the manner of the Indians, that there would be a general massacre.  A man that always accompanied Black Hawk as they entered the council house commenced to sing in a very boisterous manner, and gesticulated as though he was very angry, speaking very rapidly.  General Gaines spoke to him very quietly of the sale of their lands.  The Indian said the land had never been sold.  General Gaines then called for the reading of the treaty, which seemed to enrage him still more.  He said, "The white people speak from a paper; but," he added, striking his hand upon his breast, "the Indians always speak from the heart." After the purchase of these lands from the Indians, in 1804, the government had exchanged all the lands north of the old Indian boundary line (ranging from the most southern bend of Lake Michigan due west to the Mississippi, striking the river about where the boat-yard now is, in the lower end of the town), with the Chippewas, Pottawattamies and Ottawas, for land lying about Chicago.  In 1829 the government repurchased these lands of the Indians, giving them $16,000 a year forever (that is the way the treaty reads), and allowing them to select a quarter section for each of their half-breeds.  These selections amounted to a great deal of very valuable land.  Antoine LeClaire and brother selected theirs on the Mississippi river, commencing at Moline and running up as far as Henry McNeil's old place. The first point Black Hawk tried to make when he spoke was that "the land had not been sold, as the men who went to St. Louis had no authority to sell, having been sent on other business."  By this time we began to think Black Hawk was pretty nearly right.  The second point he made was, "if it was sold, they had got nothing for it."  He said, over and over agian, "if a small part of the land was worth $16,000 a year forever, all of it must be worth more than $2,000."  When the General pressed an answer about his leaving, he said all the time, "he would not fight, and he would not leave, but if our people came to drive him off he would sit down in his wigwam and they might do what they pleased with him; for himself he would do nothing."  General Gaines interpreted his talk to mean that he would fight.  The General's force was very small-only about 500 men in all-consisting of the Sixth Regiment, not full, and two companies that belonged at the garrison.  The men and boys of the settlement were all at the fort, away from their homes, doing nothing.  I went with another citizen and called on the General and proposed that the men and boys of the settlement be formed into a company, which was accordingly done.  The company numbered fifty-eight men, and was called the "Rock River Rangers."  We were mustered into service on the 5th of June, 1831.  An election of officers was held, which resulted in the election of Benjamin J. Pike as captain; John W. Spencer, first lieutenant; Griffith Aubery, second lieutenant; James Haskill, Leonard Bryant, and Edward Corbin, sergeants; Charles French, Charles Case, Benjamin Goble and Henry Benson corporals.  The members of the company were:  Archibald Allen, William T. Brashar, John Bane, Michael Bartlett, Joseph Been, Jonah H. Case, Joseph Danforth, Thomas Davis, Russell Dance, Isaiah Frith, Thomas Gardner, George W. Harlan, Uriah S. Hultz, Thomas Hubbard, Goodridge Hubbard, Cyrus Henderson, Moses Johnson, John W. Kinney, Samuel Kinney, Conrad Leek, Thomas Levit, Henry McNeil, George Miller, Gentry McGee, Amos C. Noble, Thomas Syms, Robert Syms, William F. Sams, Martin W. Smith, Sevier Springfield, Joel Thompson, Joshua Vandruff, Henry Vandruff, Samuel Vandruff, Benjamin Vannetta, Gorham Vannetta, Edward Varner, Levi Wells, George Wells, Joel Wells, Sr., Joel Wells, Jr., Huntington Wells, John Wells, John Wells, Samuel Wells, Rinnah Wells, Asaph Wells, Eri Wells, Ira Wells.  General Gaines now called on the governor for help, and he collected aobut 1600 mounted men, with a rendezvous at Beardstown. At the second meeting with Black Hawk he brought up an old Indian by the name of Quashquama, or Jumping Fish, who was one of the five men who sold the land.  He was a very old man and seemed to be in his second childhood, and to have lost all memory of the sale.  He was the only one of the five living and his testimony was of no use.  At the fourth and last meeting came a middle-aged squaw, who introduced herself to the general and said she was a granddaughter of a prominent chief, and then began to speak of the sale of the lands.  She said "the men could not sell the cornfields, for they belonged to the women - they had made them."  She said, "it is very hard work to dig up the ground," and putting her hand on her back she said, "it made their backs ache."  Another reason she gave was, "that if the men had sold them they would have told them of it, which they had never done."  While they were waiting for the arrival of help and parleying with the Indians, General Gaines fitted up the steamboat "Winnebago" with a cannon on the bow of the boat, and a company of soldiers and proceeded up Rock river to their village, passing within fifty yards of their wigwams.  Strange to say, although a steamboat was seldom seen in those days, the Indians seemed not to take the least notice of the boat, not even looking at it, and even the women and children showed no signs of wonder or fear.  As soon as the governor's troops were collected together they marched for Rock island, camping the last night within about ten miles of the island.  The Indians, being aware of their approach, crossed the Mississippi at night, taking with them all their effects, women, children, horses and dogs.  The next day was fixed for the attack upon Black Hawk.  It was arranged that General Gaines should take the boat, with one company of men from the garrison, and ascend Rock river, while Major Bliss, with the rest of the forces, should cross over and form on this side and march for Rock river.  Just about where the Rock Island railroad freight house now stands we were met by an Indian named Black Buffalo, a man I knew very well.  He had a bridle in his hand and was hunting his horse.  He had swapped horses with Jonah H. Case, the year before; the horse did not like to go with the Indians and had given them the slip.  Major Bliss wished me to ask him about the Indians, where they were, etc.  He told me they had all crossed the Mississippi.  The Major told me to tell him if he did not tell the truth he would kill him.  The Indian still affirmed that what he said was true.  He was sent to the fort a prisoner for that day. Major Bliss formed our company of Rock River Rangers in an extended line of half a mile, in front of the regulars, with one cannon in the rear, for our march for Rock river.  We marched near where the road is now traveled until we reached General Rodman's land, then turning to the left until reaching the top of the bluff, taking the direction of Black Hawk's watch tower.  On arriving there we planted the cannon on the brow of the bluff, and then commenced throwing grape and cannister into the bushes on Vandruff's island.  It was here we expected to find the Indians.  General Gaines arrived with the boat and stopped about where the bridge crosses the main stream, near Sears' floouring mill, and commenced firing on the island also.  This island was very bushy and commanded the only ford that the governor and his forces could cross at.  But it proved that Black Buffalo had told the truth.  The governor's troops, after corssing the river, burned the Indians' wigwams and marched for Rock Island and camped on the river, from the ferry landing to the freight house.  This force amounted to 1,600 mounted men.  They turned their 1,600 horses loose on the prairie and the next thing was to procure fuel to cook their supper.  I had a field of twenty acres of corn and potatoes and the volunteers went for the fence.  We tried to stop them from taking the rails but could not; going to the governor and General Gaines they went out to the field and told the men they must not take the fence.  While they were present the men stopped operations, but as soon as they turned to return the men, to the number of 400 or 500, each took a rail on his shoulder and marched behind them into camp.  By this operation I lost all my crop for one year, for which I never received a cent, the soldiers doing me ten times as much damage as the Indians had ever done.  When we asked Black Hawk why he did not do as he said he would, "sit down in his wigwam and let them do as they pleased with him," he said, "If General Gaines had come with only the regular troops at the island he should have remained in his wigwam, but to have done so with men that the officers had no control over would have been sure death to him."  In this he acted wisely, as among these volunteers were many frontier men who had had friends killed by the Indians and were prepared to avenge their death on these or any other Indians. In a few days there was another meeting with Black Hawk and a treaty concluded that  the Indians should stay on the other side of the river and the government would give them as much corn as they could have raised if they had not been disturbed.  The government appointed two men, Mr. Rinnah Wells and myself, to go over their fields and make an estimate of the corn they might have raised.  I do not now remember the estimate, but it amounted to several thousand bushels.  Thus ended this season's operations.  Now commences the more serious part of our story.  In the spring of 1833, notwithstanding the agreement of the Indians to keep on the west side of the river, they came over, breaking their treaty made only the summer before.  They crossed at Burlington and came up, as ususal, with their canoes and horses.  As soon as the government ascertained this General Atkinson was sent from Jefferson Barracks with a regiment of men, reaching here before the Indians.  The Indians did not make more than ten miles a day, but came along regularly, reaching here soon after the general, and keeping on the south side of the big island, in Rock river, which I had never known them to do before.  When they were nearly up to where Milan now stands, I crossed the river by fording, to see if I could ascertain their movements.  The first Indians I saw were four young men.  They had fine looking guns, and seemed to be well armed.  One of them was Black Hawk's son, Seoskuk, who was one of the finest looking Indians I ever saw.  He was about thirty years of age and a splendid looking fellow.  I asked him where they were going.  He answered by saying, "Maybe they should go over to their old village, or they might stop where they were, or go up Rock river to Prophetstown."  Seoskuk asked me if there were many soldiers at the fort.  I told him there were a good many.  I was the only white man who had any communication with them at this point.  They finally went up Rock river about two miles and camped for the night.  The next morning, at the old fort, we could hear them beating their drums and singing so plainly that they seemed but a short distance from us.  They were probably five miles distant, and it was quite remarkable, the country being so hilly between them and us, that we should hear them so distinctly.  It is hard to tell what this demonstration was for.  I have thought it might have been on account of their passing this point without being molested by General Atkinson, as they knew he was at the island with an extra regiment.  This same morning General Atkinson, not understanding their movements, was anxious to inform the frontier settlers of their danger, but the only ford on the river was so near the Indians that it was not thought safe to make a crossing.  I proposed to take the dispatch to the nearest settlements.  To avoid the Indians I took a canoe and went down the river until I passed the mouth of Rock river.  Here I took great pains to hide my canoe, as my getting home depended on this, and made the rest of my journey on foot.  The dispatch from General Atkinson to the settlers was to this effect, "That there was now no doubt but what we were to have a conflict with the Indians, urging them to take care of themselves and get out of the way."  I had to camp out the first night and after walking forty miles the next day reached the settlement.  I went to the different settlements, gave the warning of General Atkinson, and returned home.  On coming to the river I very fortunately found my canoe where I had hid it, and then came on up to the island.  We all supposed the general would stop the Indians at this point but he did not, but called on the governor for help.  He was soon here with 1,800 mounted men.  About 300 men had already rendezvoused at Dixon and were waiting for orders.  All was depending upon General Atkinson getting ready to follow the Indians up Rock river.  The stream being too shoal for steamboats they had to resort to the next best thing, the old keel-boat, and it was a hard matter to get supplies on them for so short notice.  He succeeded in getting one that would carry eighty tons, the largest I ever saw.  This boat was manned by seventy regular soldiers; they had another of thirty-five tons and several Mackinaw boats, also well manned.  These were loaded with provisions, and after two hard days' work we got over the rapids of Rock river, and on the 8th of May started on the war expedition.  General Atkinson had several hundred regulars with him, so in manning these boats he changed hands every other day, as it was very laborious work, Rock river being a very rapid stream at that time of the year.  Our first camping place was about two miles above the Chicago & Rock Island railroad bridge.  Our second at the mouth of Canoe creek, our third at Sand Prairie.  This part of the river was so crooked that we made but slow progress.  Our fourth encampment was about two miles above Prophetstown.  I remember this as though it were yesterday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Debbie Clough G-erischer G-erischer Family Web Site http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/ Assistant CC, Iowa Gen Web, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ List Manager for: IASCOTT-L * G-erischer-L * D-encker-L Fitzpatirck-L * V-lerebome-L * Huntington-L * Otis-L * Algar-L EIGS-L * Pickens-L * McNab-L * Patris-L - Rankin-L

The Gazette Davenport, Scott, Iowa Sep 12, 1850 Alfred Sanders, Editor LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA A friend has furnished us with a letter from Dr. C.C. Parry, of this place, dated in July at San Diego, California, from which we make the following extract:- My dear Friend: - A quiet Saturday evening, how could I spend it better than writing to you? You see according to my last I have brought up again in the old place, the same dry brown hills I saw when first landed; the same delightful climate; the same dull society. By the way San Diego has got antiquated since I left, two "new San Diegos" have sprung up within 3 miles of "old San Diego," as it is now called. Speculation has been here with her transforming wand and found out that the town has been put in the wrong place. But all towns old and new in this region are pretty much alike to me who care more for the weeds that grow about their streets, than town lots!! Finding on my return every thing in the vegetable line done brown, and longing to see something green besides human verdancy, I persuaded Maj. Emory to send me on a trip to the mountains, from which I returned some weeks since having had a most interesting time-being boss of the expedition which numbered two persons, armed only with the necessaries of bed and board. I struck directly into the heart of the mountains, two days brought me to the divide, here I stumbled upon the ranch of an old deserted sailor, well acquainted with the mountain passes, and under his guidance I searched many an old nook and vale, culling unnamed flowers, eating strange fruits, and sleeping with strange bedfellows. The Indians were quite friendly, and even hospitable, they fed us with pounded acorn bread and grass seed mush. We cracked pine nuts around their social hearths, and puffed the true Virginia under their bush wigwams. I found many strange trees, the pines were the most interesting.; imagine a stately tree with burrs more than a foot long hanging like overgrown caterpillars from the extremities of their spreading branches; or others with fruit like a large pineapple stock on their upper trunks; others covered with sparkling yellow lichen and all waiving their broad arms to the deep surges of the western breeze. One of the most singular things I noticed was to see trunks of trees stuck full of fresh acorns the work of industrious woodpeckers. They are driven in so tight that they are picked out with difficulty with the point of a knife-this looks like a new instinct of birds, but a wise provision where snows cover the ground-the Indians frequently avail themselves of the work of these little creatures to replenish their own larder. Having pretty well explored the ridge, we descended on its eastern slope to the edge of the desert, here I was fortunate enough to fall in with several vegetable curiosities- one a new Cactus, with deliciously flavored fruit. A species of the Century plant grows about the desert hills, at this time in full flower, its root furnishes a staple article of diet to the Indians of that inhospitable region, by a process of cooking, under the name of Mezcal, it affords quite a dainty dish. I can compare it to nothing but molasses candy without its stickiness. Some of the lone canons present a scene of strange desolation. I should not know how to picture them, bristling with huge Cacti and scattered with dislocated rocks, run over by dusty lizards, they present a scene that belongs more properly to the pencil than to the pen, so I forbear. We washed for gold in the dried up stream beds, and scraped over the gravel for precious gems, but without finding enough of either to make a finger ring or a nose jewel, and so forbore; content to say that the country ought to afford both gems and gold, for what else can it? Returning home I explored a new and more direct route than I have yet travelled, leading in two days short journey to the vicinity of San Diego. We here found a ranch (as the Californian farms are termed) enlivened by the presence of some ladies and were easily persuaded to partake of their hospitality for a day. Our Spanish was called into serious request and before the flashing eyes of the Senoritas we had to extemporize some strange sounding compliments no doubt. A description of an old fashioned ranch in California might interest you, so here goes. A mud house with a rush roof must be your dwelling in this a few rooms partitioned off with muslin or calico, the corners occupied with stick bed steads, and rude benches make up the furniture. The kitchen part is distinct, and under the auspices of Indian women, black as their own pots. You see conspicuous the stone corn grinder and tortilla baker-earthen pots and in strange contrast genuine China ware deck the rough table and you sit down to 5 or 6 courses in which you will find assistance to your appetite in a liberal allowance of red pepper seasoning. But in the out door operations- you see ragged and nearly naked Indians under the true title of peons performing all the menial work about the premises. The overseer superintends on horseback. Is there a field of grain to be cut, some 40 Indians armed with knife and basket cut a wide swath proceeding onward to the music of a grunting chant; the grain is deposited in ox hid carts and conveyed to the threshing ground, this is a circular enclosure, the ground cleanly swept and when strewed with the grained ears a drove of wild mares are driven in and by shout and hallos, a great scamper is kept up till the grain is pretty well beat out, it is then winnowed in baskets by hand, and this is harvesting in California. A very important part of farming is in the distribution of the irrigating water and occupies many hands-then the cattle must be seen to and this is generally entrusted to a distinct class called vaqueros, you see them galloping over the fields trailing their long lassos, their monstrous spurs and streaming blankets making quite a figure-but I am using up my paper and must speak of other things. MORTALITY IN CHICAGO According to an official report, the deaths by cholera in Chicago, from the 23d of June, when the epidemic first commenced, to the 1st of September, amounted to 441.

The Chippiannock Cemetery is in Rock Island, Illinois. The address is 2901 12th Street, Rock Island, IL 61201. Davenport City Cemetery is in Davenport, Iowa. I believe the records are maintained by the city. However, if you contact the Davenport Public Library, 321 Main Street, Davenport Iowa 52801, they can probably help you. On their shelf is a copy of the Davenport City Cemetery records. Sandra

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Yl.2ADE/2314.1 Message Board Post: Robyn, I wrote to the Chippianock Cemetery Association and received an extensive reply after about a month's time - charts showing lot owner's name, lot numbers and all the accompanying information in the records, in some cases including the funeral service date and the attending pastor's name. They only asked for a $20 donation for the search. Unfortunately I lost their address but the US Cemetery Address book on Ancestry shows this address: Chippiannock Cemetery Assn City Hall DAVENPORT , IOWA 52801 Send them a letter with the specific information requested and they will send you the information along with a requested donation for the research time and the copies. Good luck. Nancy

P. J. Thede Biography >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. Surnames: Thede, Peterson, Lensch. P. J. Thede, who is cashier of the Dixon Savings Bank and is otherwise substantially connected with the commercial life of the town, was born in Liberty township, Scott county, June 18, 1887, a son of John H. and Catherine (Peterson) Thede. They were also natives of Scott county and are of German parentage. At present they are residing in Liberty township, where Mr. Thede has pursued farming for many years. Six children were born to them: Lydia, who is the wife of Otto Lensch, of Liberty township; P. J., the subject of this sketch; Henry R.; Millie; Ella; and Verna. P. J. Thede was reared upon his father's farm, in the work of which he assisted greatly until he was sixteen years of age. Having completed the course of study provided by the district schools of his locality, in 1903 he was enrolled as a pupil in the Capital City Commercial College of Des Moines, Iowa, and from that institution received his certificate for work completed November 25, 1905. He then came to Davenport, where he accepted a position as time keeper with the American Can Company. Later he was in the employ of the Davenport Fur & Carpet Company until October, 1907, when he was called to Dixon to become cashier of the Dixon Savings Bank. While he has proved himself a most careful, accurate and conscientious employe, he has also found time to take up other business, from which he has derived no small addition to his income. He is the agent for several of the reliable fire insurance companies, conducts a vigorous business in real estate and has also been appointed n! otary public. When the German Mutual Telephone Company was established here Mr. Thede became its secretary, which is another evidence that he is ever on the alert to make the most of the opportunities for advancing his own interests and at the same time contributing to the welfare of his associates. He belongs to the Dixon Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and also to that of the Modern Woodmen of America. In both of these organizations he has made stanch and loyal friends. A young man, who if one were to judge only by his years, was just entering upon his business career, has attained distinction which would seem to augur a most successful and brilliant future. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann Assist.
