DICY MATILDA LONG, b. April 23, 1853; d. 1876. Notes for DICY MATILDA LONG: She may have married Emery Granthrop or Egbert Gawtroup, and had daughter Sarah E. Granthrop or Sarah L. Gawtroup and Jackson Gawtroup." Dicey Matilda Long married Egbert Gawthrop son of Sarah Egbert and Amos Gawthrop on 7 December 1875 in Kosciusko County, Indiana. Dicey & Egbert had a son who was named Jackson L in 1877. Dicey's father was Jackson Long & Egbert Gawthrop's uncle ( his mother Sarah's sister Mary's husband) was Civil war captain Sampson Jackson North, so Jackson was a logical name to choose. Dicea & Egbert Gawthrop also had a daughter named Sarah E in Nov 1878. Most likely after grandmothers Sarah Egbert Gawthrop and Eliza Batson Long. Dicey died 6 Nov 1880, also in Kosciusko county, when Sarah would have been almost 2 years old. Egbert remarried to Elenora Wood 3 May 1881 and had (at least) 5 more children. Carl, Amos, Charles, Mary E & Emma Gawthrop. More about Egbert (& Dicey): "Egbert Gawthrop, a farmer of Van Buren Township, was born in Kosciusko County, September 4, 1853, son of Amos and Sarah S. Gawthrop. The father came to this county about 1833, and settled in the souther part of that locality, and, like other pioneers, endured hardships and privations. He was a self made man, having begun life with absolutely nothing. Egbert was reared to manhood in the county, and received a rudimentary education in the district of schools. He was married December 7, 1875, to Dicey M., daughter of Jackson G. Long, of this county. To this union were born two children - Jackson L., deceased, and Sarah E.. Mrs Gawthrop died November 6, 1880 and May 3, 1881, Mr Gawthrop was married to Elnora Woods, daughter of William Woods, of Harrison Township. To this union have been four children - Carl, Mary E., Amos and Emma. He owns a small improved farm of eighty acres and is a successful farmer. His father died in 1859. He was the father of seven children, six of whom survive - John, Florence, wife of Henry Gibson; Egbert, Victor H., Charles O., and Amos R. He was a Democrat until 1856, and since then has been a Republican. Our subject is also a Republican." "Egbert Gawthrop and his wife who have been visiting their children at Cody Wyo., for the past month, returned home on Saturday evening, having had a very enjoyable visit. Miss Sarah Gawthrop. their daughter, accompanied them home and remained a few weeks." Leesburg Journal, 6 Sep 1911.

I am seeking as much information as I can get on the family of William and Jane Stanage Wilkinson. William Wilkinson bFeb 28,1795 Harrison Co.,VA parents Asahel Wilkinson and Charity Ragan Jane Stanage b 1801 I believe, Rockport,VA(now West Virginia) William and Jane married March 27,1821 in Logan Co.,OH. Jane's parents were Thomas and Sarah McManamy Stanage. Thomas was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, where he spent time in a British prison. In 1832, William and Jane Stanage Wilkinson traveled from Logan Co.,OH, with Jane's sister, Mary Stanage Wilson (m James Louis Wilson), and brother Thomas Jefferson Stanage to Elkhart,IN. James and Mary Stanage Wilson remained in Elkhart, until James died in 1866. Thomas Jefferson Stanage married Catherine Wolf, daughter of George and Hannnah Wolf in Elkhart, later they removed to Three Oaks, Berrien Co.,MI. Until a recent trip to the National Archives, where I looked up the Civil War pension record of Henry B. Wilkinson, we had lost track of William and Jane Stanage Wilkinson. Henry B. Wilkinson's father was William Wilkinson. He married Eliza Jane Locke. Through the pension record I discovered that the family had removed to the Warsaw area of Kosciusko Co.,IN. Henry B. Wilkinson died, June 28,1904, he was born, July 25, 1838, in Indiana. This would have been Elkhart, before the move to Kosciusko. The informant for his death certificate was Linville Wilkinson. Other Wilkinsons mentioned, Henry's father, William Wilkinson provided an affidavit on February 27, 1884. Others mentioned Benjamin Wilkinson, Charles Wilkinson, and Wilber Wilkinson. If someone could help me with further information on this family, I would really appreciate it. Does anyone know where and when Jane died, where and when William died, any Will, Probate or obituaries? Please help, Mary Wilson

I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: Headley Wells, Cratty, Wilkinson, Borrey, Walker, Chambers, J. EDWARD HEADLEY. The reputation of the prominent corporation lawyers is not made in a day, for special success in this difficult department of the law requires the possession of knowledge and qualities that can only be acquired through long and steady training, close application, varied and diversified experience and constant study of business, commercial and financial problems. However, if the requisites are stern the rewards of the successful corporation lawyer are commensurate, and among those who have found prosperity in this most difficult and perplexing field is J. Edward Headley, who has been engaged in practice at Warsaw, Kosciusko County, since 1916. Mr. Headley was born at Bellaire, Ohio, October 1, 1875, and is a son of George and Hannah (Wells) Headley. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Headley, was born in France, and was a farmer by vocation, but entered the French army, and while stationed in Alsace-Lorraine met and married a German girl. After his military s! ervice was completed he immigrated to the United States and eventually took up his residence at Zanesville, Ohio, where he passed the remaining years of his life. George Headley was born December 24, 1851, at Zanesville, Ohio, and early in life learned the trade of glassmaking, with which business he was connected throughout his career. He began his experience as a manufacturer at Bellaire, and in 1887 became superintendent of the Ohio Windoglass Company, a position which he occupied until 1892, in which year he came to Pendleton, Indiana, and became associated with the Indiana Window Glass Company, with David B. Cratty and Frank B. Wilkinson. Retaining his interests at Pendleton, in 1898, in partnership with Mr. Wilkinson and John Borrey, Mr. Headley founded the Bell Window Glass Company at Fairmount, Indiana, and his son managed the latter until 1899, when his interests in both plants were absorbed by the American Window Glass Company. Mr. Headley, however, remaine! d as manager of the Pendleton plant until 1901, in which year he established the Headley Glass Company at Fairmount, Indiana, and in 1903 moved his plant to Danville, Illinois. This he conducted until 1916, in which year he sold out, moved to Indianapolis, and there lived in comfortable retirement until his demise, October 15, 1925. Mr. Headley was a man who was held in the highest esteem in the various communities in which he carried on his activities. One of his brothers served in the Union Army during the War Between the States and was a participant in many of the heavy engagements of the Army of the Potomac. Mr. Headley married Miss Hannah Wells, who was born at Kent, Ohio, where she graduated from high school, and died December 4, 1884. She and her husband were the parents of three children: J. Edward, of this review; Carl W., born May 3, 1881, a bond salesman; and Mae, the wife of Samuel B. Walker, secretary of the William H. Block Company, of Indianapo! lis, who has two children, George and Horace. J. Edward Headley attended graded school at Bellaire, Ohio, and high school at Findlay, that state, and then pursued a course at Findlay College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1913. He pursued his professional studies at the Indiana Law School, at Indianapolis, from which he was graduated with the class of 1916, and immediately commenced practice at Warsaw, where he has since remained in the enjoyment of a constantly increasing practice, making a specialty of corporation law. He has a large and representative clientele and is justly accounted one of the leaders of the Kosciusko County bar. He belongs to the Kosciusko County Bar Association, the Indiana State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. In addition to his law practice he has numerous business interests, and is a director in the Indiana State Bank & Trust Company, is director and attorney for the Warsaw Building, Loan & Savings Association, an! d director and secretary of the Frazer Investment Corporation, and general counsel and director of the Winona Railroad Company. He is greatly interested in civic affairs, and is president of the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the local school board. Politically he is a Republican and his religious faith is that of the Methodist Church, while his fraternal connections are with Danville (Illinois) Blue Lodge and Vermillion Consistory of Masonry, the latter of which he assisted in organizing. On August 3, 1898, Mr. Headley was united in marriage with Miss Frances M. Chambers, a daughter of James T. Chambers, who was born at Syracuse, New York, of English ancestors who assisted in the laying out of Boston Commons. Joseph C. Headley, the son of J. Edward and Frances M. Headley, was born January 6, 1903, and attended the grade and high schools. Later he took courses at the University of Indiana and the law department of the University of Chicago, and is now assistant ! sales manager of the Chicago group of Halsey & Stuart Company, investment bankers. He has taken military training and is a first lieutenant in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, and has been offered commissions in the regular army as an instructor. He is unmarried. Helen Headley, daughter of J. Edward and Frances M. Headley, was born February 9, 1909, and attended the public and high schools of Warsaw. After a three-year course she graduated in 1929 from the Sargent School of Physical Education, with the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is a graduate of the University of Indiana, class of 1931.

Among the prominent and enterprising agriculturists of Kosciusko County, one who has achieved position and prosperity through industry, good management and the recognition of advantageous opportunities is John W. Swick, whose productive and modernly improved farm is situated seven miles northwest of Silver Lake. Mr. Swick is one of the men of his locality in whom his fellow-citizens place full confidence and since 1922 he has served as a member of the board of trustees of Franklin Township. John W. Swick was born July 18, 1869, in Cass County, Indiana, where his father was the owner of a farm, and where the youth spent his early days, in the meantime attending the rural schools. Subsequently he pursued a course at the normal school at Mentone, which fitted him for an educational career, and during the next eighteen years was a teacher in the schools of Seward and Franklin townships. At the end of that period he returned to farming, an! d is now the owner of a highly developed farm in Franklin Township, seven miles northwest of Silver Lake, although his post office is at Akron.
