Lafayette Daily Courier, Tuesday, March 10, 1896 Properly Named Sampson Sampson McDole, of Sheffield township, is one of the heartiest old men in the county. He drove in from Sheffield township yesterday morning, and was partaking of a hearty dinner at Suter’s restaurant. He did not appear to be over 65 years old, but when the reporter asked, "How old are you?" he replied, "83." "You must have been a strong man in your day," queried the reporter. "Yes," said Mr. McDole, "some people used to say that I was properly named Sampson McDole. I might tell you one instance. In 1840, when they had the big Whig rally at the Battle Ground, when Grandpa Harrison was a candidate for president, I went up there, although I was a democrat and am yet, always expect to be. There was a great big fellow at that rally from Virginia by the name of Hicks, and he was blowing around that he could life more than any man in Indiana. Anthony Stingle, who lived near Stockwell, and who died several years ago, aged 86, heard this fellow blowing and he said to me, "Sampson, you go and life with the fellow: I believe you can beat him, but if you can’t, then I will try him." I said "all right." At that time I weighed 238 pounds, and was a good deal bigger man than I am now. So Hicks stepped to the scales and lifted 1,300 pounds. Then I took hold and lifted 1,600 pounds, beating him 300 pounds. You ought to have heard that crowd yell," said Mr. McDole. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Hello! I could use some help. I am researching the CRAIGs that lived in Tippecanoe county in the 1840's & 1850's approximately. Benjamin Franklin Craig, born in Jackson Co., Ohio, had a son named Charles who was born in Lafayette, Tippecanoe, IN abt 1855. I think some of the CRAIGs that lived in Tippecanoe also came from the Ross, Jackson, Vinton Co., OH area. Next step. There is a marriage record of Benjamin F. Craig marrying Elizabeth Thornton 12/25/1849 Tippecanoe Co, IN. I do not know if this is MY Benjamin F. Craig. As I study the Thornton's in Tippecanoe county in 1850 I find this odd listing: 1850 Census shows B. F. Craig living with John B. Thornton family in Tippecanoe Co., IN, Lafayette, 3rd Ward, pg 82B. household 1065/1065 - census VERY hard to read John B. Thornton 47 Boatman R.I. Mary J. 16 OH Rose A. 12 OH B. F. Craig 10 IN Elizabeth 23 KY Geo 1/12 In Bison Bill 25 Germany (yes, this is what it looks like) Rebecca ? 17 OH Mary A. 25 Unk can't read name female 16 b. R.I. (looks like R.O.) Something isn't right....is the marriage record different people? Are the ages in the census wrong? I can't read the writing that well. And I don't have an interest in the apparent boarders, but can't help but grin at Bison Bill! And would a "boatman in Tippecanoe Co. maybe run a ferry boat??? Next step. My Benjamin Franklin Craig goes to Scott/Muscatine counties in Iowa in 1856. I find that Err Thornton, among other Thornton's moved from Tippecanoe Co., In to Scott & Muscatine Co. in Iowa. Hopefully, some THORNTON or CRAIG researcher can straighten me out on the John B. Thornton family above, or send me Tippecanoe Co., IN THORNTON or CRAIG information I can study to try to figure out how my Craig family connects. Thanks so much! Dixie A. Laire Red Oak, Iowa

Hi Connie, I noticed, with interest, the biography of James H. Dunlap, because I have some Chamberlain ancestors who came from Southern Indiana to Carroll County (about 1834), then Tippecanoe County (about 1840), then some went to White County and came back to Tippecanoe. My GG-grandmother was Louisa Chamberlain, who married in Harrison Co., IN, then again in Louisville, KY to my GG-grandfather, Charles Kelley in 1833. Louisa's father was Ephraim Chamberlain, who disappears from the record about 1840. Do you know where James Dunlap's wife, Lucinda Chamberlain, came from? My Louisa's brother, Ephraim Chamberlain, Jr., married Elizabeth Montgomery in 1831 in Floyd County, IN. They moved to Carroll County, but Ephraim died before 1849, and Elizabeth married George Elston. Elizabeth's brother, William S. Montgomery, married Ann A. Dunlap in 1820 in Knox Co., TN. And Elizabeth's sister, Mary Montgomery, married Nathaniel Dunlap in Knox Co., TN also in 1820. Any connection there? They also came to Carroll County, and lived in the Pleasant Run area, NW of Delphi. I know very little about my Chamberlains. Do you think there might be a connection to yours?

John Thomas' wife was the daughter of Robert Taylor and Elizabeth Watkins of Sussex Co., Delaware. Elizabeth Watkins was the sister of my 3rd gr. grandfather, William Watkins. After the death of Elizabeth, Robert Taylor remarried and removed to Lafayette, where he died at about the age of 44. It is thought he might have been buried in Greenbush Cemetery. This biography was sent to me by a descendant of Robert and Elizabeth Watkins Taylor. ________________________________________________________ Portrait and Biographical Album Published by Chapman Brothers in 1890 Sent to me by Wamego Public Library, Wamego, KS JOHN THOMAS, who is engaged in general farming and stock-raising in Pottawatomie County, has been a citizen of this State since 1875, when he came from Indiana and secured eighty acres of land in Mill Creek Township, subsequently obtaining an additional eighty, and improving the whole and making thereon a very comfortable home. The farm is well watered by good springs and is a fertile and productive tract of land. MR. THOMAS is of English descent, his grandfather having come from the mother country to America during the War of 1812, as barber to an English General. After the war he married a Pennsylvania lady of the old Holland stock, who after his decease married again, her second husband being a Mr. Gray. To this couple was born a son, Samuel, the place of his birth being ROSS COUNTY, OHIO. He learned the trade of a shoemaker but before many years abandoned this occupation and acquired the cooper's trade under his step-father, MR. GRAY. In his native county he was married to MISS ASENATH ODEL, who was born in the Buckeye State, Jan. 13, 1800, and was a daughter of RICHARD and ELIZABETH ODEL, who after having lived many years in Ohio, in their later life moved to WARREN COUNTY, IND., dying there when about four-score years of age. After his marriage Samuel Thomas continued to reside in his native State until after four children had been born to himself and wife, when they went to WARREN COUNTY, IND. There our subject was born Dec. 25, 1829. The parents purchased a new farm in Adams Township, being among the early settlers in the county, and after having made some improvements upon the land and lived upon it for a time, they removed to the town of Independence, where the f! ather followed his trade until his death, Feb. 8, 1843. At the time of his decease he was about forty-six years old. His widow survived until September 1873, when she died in Pine Village, being then about three-score and ten years old. Both the parents were members of the Methodist Church and took an active part in every good work, their home being a stopping place for the itinerant ministers for many years. Our subject is one of a family of seven sons and six daughters, of whom seven reached mature years and married. Of the entire family, only five sons and four daughters are now living. The early years of our subject were spent on his father's farm and his education was obtained in the district schools. He was married in his native county to MISS ELIZA A. TAYLOR, an intelligent and estimable lady, who was born in SUSSEX COUNTY, DEL., March 24, 1833. MRS. THOMAS is a daughter of ROBERT and ELIZABETH (WADKINS) TAYLOR, who were natives of the same State in which she first saw the light, and were members of Pennsylvania families of the old Holland stock. After the birth of two children, of whom MRS. THOMAS is the eldest, ROBERT and ELIZABETH TAYLOR moved to ROSS COUNTY, OHIO, and there the mother died Nov. 30, 1844, at the age of thirty-four years. The father afterwards went to INDIANA and in WARREN COUNTY married his second wife, MRS. AGNES WORLEY TIMMONS, nee SMITH. MR. T! AYLOR and his second wife subsequently located in TIPPECANOE COUNTY (IND.), where the former followed his trade as a carpenter until his death at the age of forty-four years. His second wife survived him some years. The rites of wedlock between our subject and MISS ELIZA TAYLOR, were celebrated Feb. 15, 1855, and their union has been blessed by the birth of thirteen children: ELIZABETH, JAMES, FRANCIS and ARTHUR died while quite young; MARY A. is the widow of JOHN F. GIBSON and lives in this township on a part of her father's farm; ELIZA J. is the wife of GEORGE W. DEGRAW, a farmer in this township; CHARLES E. married MISS NELLIE PORTER and their home is on a ranch in ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COL.; DAVID S., owns a claim in COLORADO on which he is living; JOHN H. is still at home; WILLIAM E. is a telegraph operator; ALBERT C., EMMA, and HATTIE A., complete the group around the family hearth. MR. and MRS. THOMAS take quite an active interest in everything which will tend to the improvement of the township, and in the education of their children have done all that parental love and pride could compass and their means would allow. MR. THOMAS is a Republican. Intelligent, enterprising, kindly and of good principles, he is regarded with respect by neighbors and fellow-citizens, and his wife shares in their good will.
