It’s been some time since I posted to the Group, Sharon from TX query about her Moses Brown prompted me to again say G’day from Melbourne in AU and to thank our Administrator for her work, it also prompted me to think that the List has been pretty quiet over the last few months, from over here in the other Hemisphere, and as I’m always hungry for Clay Co news I have found over the past year that there are always snippets of treasures and other items appearing on EBay. As hint I’d like to suggest [for those who access EBay that you put a search word into your EBay page to prompt you when an item comes up with the Clay Co search word, maybe you add Kansas or KS as an extra cause what I didn’t realise is that there are a couple of Clay Co’s in the US [I have enough problems understanding and knowing geographical place names over here, let alone in the States..]. Anyway, just want to share this tip with you all, we’re enjoying our summer this way, we’re blessed with no snow, sleet or all the other cold and wintery nasties that you guys get, and can’t even imagine living through it.

G'day Larry, the following information is definitely relative to your query and was gleaned from "Pioneers of the Bluestem Prairie" published by The Riley County Genealogical Society, First Edition [1976]. Library of Congress Card Catalogue Number 76-11926. Details were on Page 21 & 22 and Benjamin is indexed as Surname #29. Best Wishes Don Johnston Melbourne, Australia Carson 29 BENJAMIN CARSON [m ary Ann McCoy] Son of John and Ann (Hobbs) Carson, was b in Co Armagh, Ireland 22 Jul 1832 and d Clay Co 18 Jul 1915. He m Mary Ann McCoy Clover who d 3 Sept 1905. Both were bur in Lincoln Cemetary in Bloom Township. Benjamin Carson began the trek that eventually led him to a farm in Bloom Twp during the Great Irish Potato' Famine of 1845-48 when he was approaching maturity. At the urging of one of their American cousins, John Carson and his wife gathered their 10 children and as many of their belongings as they could put in a wheelbarrow and walked 40 miles from their home in Co Armagh to Belfast, borarding one of the "coffin Ships" recalled to service by the crisis. After an interminable voyage, during which one of the younger children sickened and died, they reached America only to be shunted off to the Gulf of St. Lawrence where cholera was raging. With starving and sick people dying all around him, John Carson - in his early 40s- managed to procure passage by boat up the St. Lawrence, completing the journey into Ontario on foot. He and his older children "hired out" and otherwise scavenged for a living in the new land. Their last child was born and, ironically perhaps, was named Abraham. But to young Benjamin it was still not the Promised Land. He endured the privations until he was "hiring out" age. Then he persuaded his father to let him try for the US, the country they'd set out for from Ireland. His father and an older brother packed provisions in a knap sack; and, after prayers and tears, the three started south by foot through-the wild north woods with the North Star for a guide and a hunting knife poised for protection. By day they slept in underbrush. When his father judged they had crossed the border, he said, "We must turn back now. Find the Mississippi River and keep going south. . . and, Son, remember who you are!" That was the last time Benjamin saw his father, though they had some meager communication through the years - a sister, Mary, married Dixon Carson, a distant cousin, and settled in Marysville. Eventually all the John Carson family crossed over into the States, either by stealth or by marriage, many of them settling on the Eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Even John and Ann came. spending their declining years with their daughter, Elizabeth Carson Stedman in South Dakota.. Benjamin Carson found the Mississippi River, hired out as a cabin boy but jumped ship and swam ashore when he was ordered by the ship's master to help him flog a Negro boy his own age. The Negro youth raised his eyes to heaven and begged, "Lord, have mercy!" Benjamin instantly became a flaming Abolitionist. In later years he mourned, "He knew better than to ask MAN to have mercy. . . the Lord was his last refuge." Benjamin made his way up the Ohio River, doing odd jobs, sleeping and eating where he could, and finally hiring out on the farm of a McCoy family near Columbus. He became enamored of their daughter, May Ann McCoy Clover, a young widow with two children, William and Melinda. After their marriage, they bought land near Decatur, IL and developed a fruit farm. In one of the back country towns of IL Benjamin came upon a young rawboned lawyer making a maiden speech for public office. He rushed home to Mary Ann and said, "I heard a great man speak today. He's one of God's chosen. I noted his name purposely. It is Abe Lincoln." And in time he was to name one of his own children Lincoln. Meanwhile Mary Ann and Benjamin were collecting children - eight in all - two of the girls dying as toddlers. But Benjamin's peregrinations were not over. In 1871, he went to KS on an exploratory trip, rode horseback over central Kansas and into OK. At a grocery store he noted the Oklahoma potatoes were no larger than a hen's egg. That was no place for an Irishman. The following winter in 1872 he and his family joined a wagon train in Decatur heading for Clay Co, crossing at Omaha (for which he had to pay $3 to be towed up the bluff). He bought relinquishment on a farm in Bloom Twp from W. V. Heusted's brother, planted 15 varieties of apples, 6 or 8 of peaches, and grapes and other fruits, raised cattle, geese, wheat, and book-reading children. Benjamin and Mary Ann were Methodists, helping found Shiloh, their neighborhood church. Benjamin became as American as a nostalgic Irishman with his brogue intact can expect to be. Mary Ann McCoy's family, of longer tenancy (and more legitimacy) in the States, did not escape Civil War service. Of Northern sympathies, two young McCoy brothers died at the Battle of Antietam. Benjamin and Mary Ann's children who survived to adulthood were: Anna b 1855, d in CA, m John W. Sherwood; Ella b 24 Jan 1861, d 12 Nov 1950 at Clay Center, m 13 Oct 1881 to Horace Hull whose mother's name was Irene; Eva b 1863, d Houston, TX, m David Babb son of Martin and Elizabeth Babb; John Clay b 1865, Osage City, m 22 Jul 1888 to Maude Ryerson da and Abbie (Green) RyersOl' Lincoln b 26 Oct 1866, d 5 I m 1 Aug 1894 to Viola Be dau of J ames and Partena Pettey; Benjamin Franklin I Hebron NE, m Anna Fulccomer.

Hello, This is my first time on this list. I am looking for information on Flora LOVITT. 1.Florence "Flora" LOVETT was born in Indiana, and died in Wakefield, Kansas. She was the daughter of 2. Charles Green LOVETT and 3. Mary Jane RUTLEDGE. She married ----- BARTLEBAUGH. I have the Pension papers of a preacher George James BARTLEBAUGH. On it was information he received a divorce in Clay Co. Kansas Jan 1886. Another paper listed his wives and saw a Flora LOVITT died July 30, 1888 Must say this was a surprise to his first family when he died in 1915. He had wandered away preaching and never came back. Up to that time his first wife and children never knew about the divoce and the next two wives and only when the first wife was rejected for his Civil War Pension did they find out. We are tracing his movements and hope someone on the list might know the name. Thank you, Elaine Bartlebaugh-Schenk schenk.bartlebaugh@wanadoo.nl
