SARAH (SALLY)1 JANUARY was born May 10, 1790 in Woodford City, Ky. (Source: 1872 Pike Co. Atlas.), and died March 12, 1827 in Somerset, Pulaski, Ky. She married JOSEPH PORTER March 17, 1809 in Somerset, Pulaski, Ky (Source: 1872 Pike Co. Atlas.). He was born 1784 in Wythe Co., Virginia, and died 1856 in Somerset, Pulaski, Ky. Notes for SARAH (SALLY) JANUARY: 1872 Pike Co., Illinois Atlas Page 50 under Alfred Grubb: Her father moved to Somerset, cut the first log for a cabin, cleared the first piece of land, and erected the first cabin where the beautiful town of Somerset now stands. Here he commenced life with a limited amount of thise world's goods, but with energy and perseverence sufficient to carry him through all difficulties; he wass soon elected magistrate and county surveyor. In 1812 he was a volunteer to help rescue his fellow countrymen who had been so shamefully surrendered by Hull. After a hard campaign of seven months, he returned home, and removed to Tennessee, to take charge of an estate that had been left him by his mother. There he remained, eight miles from Knoxville, for three years, when he sold out and returned to Somerset, when he was again elected to the office of magistrate, which he held for thirty years. He also filled many other improtant offices during his life, which closed in 1850 with a bri! ght prospect of a happy immortality beyound the grave. 1872 Atlas: Mrs. Grubb's mother died March 12, 1827, when she was little more sixteen years of age, leaving her the charge of the entire family, three sistes and one brother, all youner than herself. Her brother ented the ministry of the Baptist church when only nineteen years of age, and still occuplies that ressponsible position. Notes for JOSEPH PORTER: >From 1872 Pike Co. Illinois Atlas: He was the youngest son of a large family of children. At the age of nineteen he was apprenticed to the cabinet trade, and emigrated to Somerset, Ky. After serving out his apprenticeship, he concluded to improve his education; and as the facilities for procuring an education were very meagre in that new country, Mr. Porter was really, one of Kentucky's self-made men. Book - Free Frank by Juliet E. K. Walker, Univ. Press of Kentucky, 1983: page 64-66 The clearest available evidence of his systematic steps to leave the South and buy land in a free state is found in a deposition taken from Joseph Porter in 1856. The deposition concerned Porter's testimony in a suit brought before the Circuit Court of Pike County, Illinois, in which Free Frank's wife Lucy and his son Solomon were the plaintiffs. Porter was a justice of the peace in Pulaski at the time Free Frank was making preparations to leave the county, and during the first decade of the nineteenth was the surveyor for George McWhorter's land in 1817 he was elected to the general assembly. Porter's was also the first name on the character reference Free Frank obtained when he began preparations to leave Pulaski County. There is some discrepancy (such as the order in which Free Frank and Lucy were freed) in the information provided by Joseph Porter, who in 1856 was 85 years old. Bu! t the deposition is important, for it also provides a summation of most of Free Frank's life in Pulaski County. The process whereby he secured his first land in Illinois is specifically indicated. Much of this information is found in the answers to two of the questions put to Porter: Deposition taken from Joseph Porter, Pulaski County, Ky., Mar. 14, 1856 for a Pike County Ill. Circuit Court case. Question: Were you or not acquainted with Frank McWorter, a Free Colored Man generally known by the name of Free Frank. If so where did said McWorter reside when you were acquainted with him, and when did he remove from his said place of residence and where did he remove to? Answer: I was well acquainted with Free Frank or Frank McWorter form the year 1804 until he removed to Illinois in the year 1831. Where I first knew him he was a slave belonging to George McWhorter of Pulaski County. William Denham who lived in the same neighborhood owned Frank's wife Lucy, a slave. Denham purchased Frank from McWhorter and sometime after Frank bought his freedom from his master Denham and afterwards purchased Lucy his wife from Denham and then they set up housekeeping for themselves and assumed the Sir names McWorter, he Frank sum time after purchased a tract of land in Pulaski County, and resided on the same until he removed to Illinois. I suppose he lived in Pulaski County about Thirty years. Question: Did or did not said McWorter or Free Frank as called purchase of Dr. Elliot one of the tracts of land formerly owned by Oldham in the State of Illinois--If so what time said purchase was made, was it before or after said McWorter had removed to Illinois. State also in what County in Illinois the land so purchased by McWorter lay; were you or not ever in Pike Co. Illinois in the neighborhood of said land, if so when and state whether or not it was on your recommendation that said McWorter bought the same. Answer: Frank became desirous to remove from Pulaski County to a free state. Dr. Elliot hearing this made a proposition that he would take Frank's land in Pulaski for one of the tracts he got from Oldham in Illinois, at first Frank was unwilling to take Either of the tracts, no persons here knowing anything about the quality of the land nor where it lay in Illinois. It so happened that I had business at that time that made it necessary to go to Illinois in Pike County and I did go in the Spring of 1830. Dr. Elliot requested me to make some inquiry when I got there whose land lay on the . . . the location quality and get a memorandum of no. of township section of his patent for the tract he got of Oldham. When I arrived in Illinois I stayed with Cap. Ross (who resided in Atlas Pike County). I stayed there some days he has been speculating in Soldiers claims extensively and gave me the information I desired where the lands of Doctor Elliot lay and the tract that Frank ! McWorter afterward purchased of Elliot I found a few miles Westwardly of where Pittsfield now stands the Patentee of that quarter section was I think by the name of (indecipherable). When I returned home to Pulaski I gave both Elliot and Frank the information I had received and advised Frank to close the trade (with Elliot) without delay. Frank done so forth with he gave his tract on which he lived to Elliot for his Elliot's tract in Pike County the following Spring moved to Illinois and settled in at the same.

Notes for FREDRICK MILES EDDINGFIELD: Census taken July 10, 1860 says he was 6/12 of a year old. It lists his name as Fredrick. He had diabetes. The day before he died he went to the bathroom and locked the door. He was too weak to open the door and could be seen setting on the toilet stool most of the day. He finally gained enough strength to open the door. He died early in the morning on Otellia's birthday. Grandma made all the kids go to church that day, but she stayed home. He was a hired hand on the Barkley farm NE of Barry. Barkley were cousins of Great Grandpa James Sperry. Grandpa Sperry hired him. So, Grandma married the hired man. He was very strong and could lift things no one else could lift. When the old house burnt in 1915, he put a slate roof on the new one in 1918 so sparks from the furnance could not go up the chimmney and catch the roof on fire. Don replaced the slate roof about 2002 or 3. He would hook up a slede to the horses and go to town and take everyone rides. He was mean and would hit his kids and grandkids if they walked close enough to him. He didn't hit Owana and she always had good memories of him. He blamed Uncle Bunch for the train accident that injured Aunt Juanita, Uncle Pugh, and Mom. Although Uncle Pugh was driving, Uncle Bunch was older. He new the pony cart was not supposed to go across the track to the school and he and Uncle Pugh took it over there. Since Uncle Bunch was the older, it was his fault. He was always mean to Uncle Bunch after that. He nicknamed all his kids. The nick names was insults. More About FREDRICK MILES EDDINGFIELD: Burial: Kinderhook Illinois Cemetery Cause of Death: diabetes Occupation: Farmer Notes for CORA ELLEN SPERRY: She was sick all winter from heart trouble before she died. Mom went out every day and stayed with her while Aunt Trula went to Hannibal to Oakwood to teach school. I (ww) was in first grade and had to ride out there after school with Miss Tolen. Ed and David weren't in school and played together all day. She was a very good cook. She played the piano for church until Otellia was old enough to play. She was president of the bank for a few years after her father died. She didn't think it proper for a woman to be president and put Uncle Pugh in as president. However, she still ran the bank. Each Sunday afternoon everyone in the family close enough went to her house. She lived alone there with Aunt Trula and her maid, Miss Rimby. It was a command performance. Donald Ray didn't go up from the weaning house one Sunday. She ask where he was and after being told they were coming, said I want him here, go get him. So Uncle Pugh went down across the field and got them. Don told me they never stayed home again. I (ww) was small and thought it was fun to go there with so many people and kids to play with. They'd have home made ice cream or watermelons. Sometime in the afternoon, they'd tell all us kids to be quiet if it was winter, or go outside and play if it was summer. "Mother's resting." Sometimes someone would come out on the east porch and tell us to be quieter. "Mother's resting." Her parents were very wealthy. She took several of the kids to Long Beach, Cal., twice in the winter to spend the winter at her father's winter home. In the summer he lived in Hull. The farm was the "Sperry" farm until Grandpa Eddingfield took it over. They had to buy the farm from her parents. About 1910 they got the deed as a Christmas present. When she died, she was placed in the small twin bed in the library wearing a bluish purple dress with little flowers on it. She wore it a lot. The cover was pulled up and her hands were on top of the cover as if she was asleep. We (ww) kids would run and chase each other and climb over Grandma. Someone thought they should stop us. Mom (Otellia) said we climbed over her when she was alive, so what was wrong with it and we were not stopped. He body was placed in the casket after the family left for the church and the only time the family saw her in the casket was at the church. Her casket was open. After the funeral, a cousin of Grandpa's (ww) bent over and kissed her. That frightened me.

There were some forty guests there, which number has since increased to about seventy five, and ere the month is out the number will probably be doubled. Among those there Sunday, were Hon. S. P. Shope and son, Hon. W. H. Barnes and wife, Lieut. N. H. Barnes and wife, (U. S. Navy,) Dr. H. Lee Hatch and wife, of Jacksonville, and many others; making a very pleasant company with whom the time passed most pleasantly. The house is under the management of that genial and clever gentleman, and skilled Boniface Harry Owens, so well known to former visitors at the Springs, with Mr. F. M. Grimes, of the Beacon, as clerk. Visitors have but just commenced coming in, and the preparations are not wholly completed, but ere the week is out everything will be in find working order. The season promises to be one of the most prosperous the Springs have ever had, and we have no doubt that! many of our people will take in come of the fun and pleasure that will prevail here. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Y. A. P. where are you? and if dead, why are you dead? If only speechless, write and tell us why. Isn't it most time that the official directory of the Herald was overhauled. It looks a good deal like a fourth of July market report with a new date. We are not disposed to make a blow about the Democrat, but please compare the quality of its reading matter and its news with any of the $1.50 concerns. The following marriage licenses were issued since our last: Chas. Campbell, Sarah Campbell; Hugh McKay, Mary Campbell; Geo. McLaughlin, Ettie McKinney; Theodore T. Crawford, Anna Whittaker. There will be an Ice Cream Festival at the Christian Church in Time on Saturday evening July 25th, for the benefit of the church. A cordial invitation extended our friends and neighbors. Readings of thermometer at Harder's drug store at 2 P.M. each day, Friday July 17th, 93 degrees; Saturday, 18th, 95 degrees; Sunday, 19th, 96 degrees; Monday, 20th, 97 degrees; Tuesday, 21st, 98 degrees; Wednesday, 22nd, 93 degrees. Elder E. R. Childers of Pittsfield will preach in the Christian church at New Hartford on next Lord's day at 11 o'clock a.m. and at Martinsburg on the first Lord's day in August at 11 o'clock a.m. For originality of accessories, accuracy of drawing, purity of color and tone and delicacy of finish, there was on exhibition at the Hansford & Martin art display nothing finer than the water color portrait of W. Ellis' little daughter, Quincy, Ill. There was a lively runaway last week (Friday) when the horse of Mr. George Shriver ran off with the buggy to which it was attached and upon getting loose from it, left it badly demoralized. Fortunately no one was hurt by the runaway, save and except the horse and buggy. Some boys were arrested yesterday for robbing hen roosts. We withhold names, but such petty stealing is but taking the first of steps that lead to the penitentiary. Let them ponder well on the fact that a good name is beyond price and that the stain of such actions will stick to them for years and be a reproach hard to outgrow. We met at the Springs, Sunday a Mr. Arndt of Cincinnatti, O., who came there about ten days since, nearly dead with the yellow jaundice. He is rapidly recovering, and those who saw him when he came say they never witnessed so wonderful a change. He is very happy over his improvement, and enthusiastic in praise of the Springs. The house of Mr. G. M. Pursley near the railroad between here and Maysville was burned one day last week with most of its contents. Mrs. P. had gone away to spend the day and he was at work some distance away. There was no one about the house at the time. It was insured for $900, in the Continental, but the loss claimed is $1,500. Burglars entered the store of H. C. Duffy at Louisiana Friday night, by removing several panes of glass from a rear window, and appropriated several suits of clothes. They dressed themselves from hat to shoes with the choiciest in his stock, and leaving their old clothes as a momento of their visit they departed silently as they came. With eggs at six cents a dozen, it would seem a poor speculation to steal them from under the setting hens, the probability that those so stolen not proving very palatable being very great, and the labor of the theft proving a loss. Several hens of ours have been robbed recently and we should very much like to know how the thieves enjoyed the eggs they got, but we do not suppose that they will tell. A gentleman who called on us this week, mentioned in the course of our conversation that he has a ewe that had borne him two lambs, this year, one in February and the other in this month. A far more remarkable occurrence that he spoke of however is that a turkey gobbler in his neighborhood prepared a nest in the manner customary among turkies, and started in to set according to the usual manner, but without eggs. The lady owning the turkey made up for this by putting under him twenty-four hen's eggs, and he has been steadily setting for the last two weeks or more. It would seem as if he had rather more of the maternal than the paternal instinct, and is evidently a very handy bird to have round the place. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Hare went to St. Louis Sunday evening. Rev. J. H. Horner has been holding a series of meetings here the past week and one new addition has been added to the church. It closed Sunday night. Henry Moore is still recovering, and thinks in a few days more he can go round on crutches. H. C. Moore and wife of St. Louis were the guests of relatives the past week and returned home Sunday, accompanied by Miss Gracie Thomas. Our base ball club played the Cyclones of Clarksville, Saturday evening, nine innings, on their grounds. The score stood nine to eleven in favor of our boys, and we must say it was one of the finest games of the season, both sides doing excellent work. The MIsses Edwards of Belleview were among our lady friends Sunday evening, also Frank Pavlick. It surprises us to think one of our citizens will not allow a certain young man to pay attention to his daughter, because he is "so wild" etc., and will allow another much worse to call as he pleases. Tell us the difference. Our artist seems to be doing some work, especially the Saturday's trade, which has been very good. The hotel is still without a landlord for some reason, we know not why. It is a good house and most certainly a good opening for some man. As "Bungy," "Hugo" and "Boxy," failed to appear last week, we must note the Sunday School Convention, held here the 12th. The house was crowded and th exercises good. Rev. Downing of Clarksville, opened the meeting by an able address, after which he was followed by recitation etc., from the little girls. They did their parts well, especially the address of "welcome." It showed they were well trained, and Miss Blake deserves the credit, but, Frank, all they borrowed from Stockland was, "The New Bonnet," by Alva Perry. S. H. Clare has a newspaper now, called the "Review." Call on him and get posted. Although a stranger and an odd looking person, we hope while here no one will mistreat. The Dude. ______________________ New Hartford. July 20th, 1885 Oats and hay harvest are the rush at present. Mrs. Davis Iler is on the sick list this week threatened with typhoid fever. Stick has gone on an extended visit with his parents in Mo., and we wish him a pleasant trip. Mrs. Summers of Louisiana is visting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Dyer in this place. A township Sunday School Convention at Rockport next Sunday. Wm. Dyer and family of Louisiana Sundayed in this place. Miss Etta Mathes' school closed last Thursday and she is now taking music lessons under the tutership of Pro. J. M. Ruby. J. W. Lynch of S. H. will dust the pantalons of the kids at Prairie Mound again next winter and Miss Eva Bently at this place, Henry Burnham at Pumpkin Flat and C. M. Tucker at Union. Last Friday night about 12 o'clock three unknown burglars attempted to rob the store of Rupert & Donaho at Rockport and on breaking in found one of the clerks (Virgil Farington) asleep and after chloroforming and tying him hand and foot endeavored to rob the safe but after blowing the outside door open found they could not get the inner door open and concluded they would make no further attempt but made their escape sure. Fortunately the chloroform had but little effect and Mr. F. cutting himself loose with his knife made his way out through a window and gave the alarm, but it was too late. Nothing could be seen of the rogues. Well James how about the Capps by this time, you know it is written "If there be any virtue or praise think ye on these things." Thanks Mr. Bush for your kindness last week. Oscar. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

A large number of cases was tried and the docket well cleared. Judge Shope, purshed business expefitiously, and being in improved health was able to keep matters moving with comfort to himself and to the general satisfaction of the bar.
