Author: PatriciaATurner26 Surnames: Hardin, Hickok Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.dickinson/489.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Located the following re Hardin in 1871: First time in Abilene, Kansas The Bull's Head Tavern, in Abilene, had been established by gambler, Ben Thompson, along with businessman and gambler, Phil Coe. The two entrepreneurs had painted a picture of a bull with a large erect penis on the side of their establishment as an advertisement. Citizens of the town complained to town marshal, "Wild Bill" Hickok. When Thompson and Coe refused his request to remove the bull, Hickok altered it himself. Infuriated, Thompson tried to incite his new acquaintance, Hardin, by exclaiming to him: "He's a damn Yankee. Picks on Rebels, especially Texans, to kill." Hardin, then under the assumed name, "Wesley Clemmons" (but better known to the townspeople by the alias, "Little Arkansas"), seemed to have had respect for Hickok, and replied, "If Wild Bill needs killin', why don't you kill him yourself?"[8] Later that night, Hardin was confronted by Hickok, who told him to hand over his guns, which he did. Hickok had no knowledge of Hardin being a wanted man, and he advis! ed Hardin to avoid problems while in Abilene. Second Abilene encounter with "Wild Bill" Hickok Hardin again met up with Marshal Hickok, while on a cattle drive in August 1871. This time, Hickok allowed Hardin to carry his pistols in Abilene -something he had never allowed others to do. For his part, Hardin (still using his alias), was fascinated by Wild Bill and reveled at being seen on intimate terms with such a celebrated gunfighter.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: JimMcMillen75 Surnames: WLKIE HILL SIBBALD Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.dickinson/487.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Oregon Trail turned northwest long before it got to Abilene. The Santa Fe Trail was farther south than Abilene. The Merchants Hotel was one of a few operating in Abilene in 1880. The others are probably named on a Dickinson County website: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ksdickin/ OR http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/dickinso/index.html . My great-grandmother, Agnes (Wilkie-Hill) Sibbald was proprietor of the Merchants Hotel in the mid-1880s but I don't know exactly when she started. As both a genealogist and a relative, I've talked to many of Agnes's descendants who still live in Dickinson County, but no one has ever mentioned any records from the hotel. In "Old Abilene Town," a block of old buildings representing early Abilene, there is a "replica" of the Merchants Hotel. One website says it is an almost exact replica--not quite! The original appears to be a noticably larger building, with double windows each place the replica has one, and deeper. The sign runs the whole length of the roof in both, so if the current sign is from the original, I take "larger" back, but the double windows comment still stands. The original porch roof went almost to the bottom of the second floor windows and had fewer supporting posts. The hotel was earlier called the Winnesheik House. It was located on "A Street between Spruce and Cedar" and was described as a "Goodly sized frame building." Have you contacted the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka, http://www.kshs.org They frequently come up with the oddest and most wonderful (for a genealogist) information, including a photo of the Merchants Hotel about the time Agnes was proprietor; unfortunately she's not in the photo. jimmcmillen/-\earthlink.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Do you have information specific to Dickinson County? I think the Oregon Trail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail) might have passed through Abilene, though it was already obliterated by engineered roads by 1882. Do any hotels still operate in Abilene, which formerly thrived on the tourism associated with its frontier cow-town heritage?

Maryland and they hold an annual National Road festival there every year. "Old" Route 40 which for the most part in Ohio and Maryland runs parallel to Interstate 70 is the remnant of the National Road. Here in Ohio there are still the old National Road mile markers in some places. Near Uniontown, Fayette co, Penn. there is still an example of a National Road Toll Collection Station. This is the Seawright Toll Booth, named for the man who was the toll collector. These were toll booths and I don't believe any sort of register was kept on those who traveled over the route. Somewhere in my collection I have a book on the National Road which was written for the, I believe, the national festival. You might find it via inter-library loan.

Author: tgkohn Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.dickinson/487/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm looking for names and locations of wayhouses that were in business around 1880. I hope to find guest registers that may include my ancestors the John Robert OHNSAT family, who travelled the National Road by Conestoga wagon from Pittsburgh PA to Pittsburgh KS around 1882. I know that the National Road actually ended in Vandalia IL, and that National Road travel was eclipsed by the railway system, beginning as early as the 1860s. However, a family anecdote claims the family took the National Road, and even one register entry would help prove the anecdote's truth. Thus, what was a main throughfare from St. Louis to Kansas City may have had a different local name, though its function was as a continuation of the National Road. I welcome replies that include information about - Still-extant remnants of the National Road - Wayhouses in the county - Rail development in the county - County historical societies or museums that may hold such information Thanks, Thomas Kohn [email protected] (Direct replies encouraged) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Carry the blood? If you're a US Ra/au/o/u-mb-a/e-rger, odds are about 99% you're one of our kin descended from our first immigrant ancestor, Barthel, so come join us! Maybe you're descended from our Romberger and Eisenhower cousins who migrated from PA to the Dickinson area. The 2012 All-Family Reunion is set for Saturday, July 28. As in years past, we'll be meeting at the beautiful Hill Church in Berrysburg PA where many of our forebears rest. This year we celebrate 259 years of our family in the U.S.! We've been meeting since the 1980's, and ours is a well-documented family. This year's reunion will have two historians in attendance- the past historian, Dr. John Romberger (also the family association founder) and Bob Averell who took the historical reins in 2010. Bob's found a new branch of our family descending from our immigrant ancestor's second wife, so we have more info than ever to try to assist you in your genealogical pursuits. This is a great opportunity to explore your roots and ensure you're linked too by sharing what you know about your clan. There's also a hard to describe feeling about sharing a room with many other people who are your kin. Folks are asked to bring a covered dish if possible, and if not, not to worry, there's always plenty of food. It's a beautiful place, and an occasion for fine fellowship, conversation, viewing displays, and walking the cemetery. Also, there's a lot to do in the area so you can make a weekend of it if you choose. Area activities are in the reunion information packet you may request below. This is a rare chance to have the benefit of people who truly know the family, as well as to stand where your forebears once did, so take a minute to request your info packet and get in touch. Send an email to rombergerfamilyassociation AT yahoo.com to receive an information packet suitable for both the serious and the curious. You'll learn about our family association, and have the chance to register for the reunion and/or mail in your family info. Whether you go this year or not, it will get you on the mailing list for future reunions. Hope to hear from you so we may get you your invitation!

Basically, we were looking for info on his 1st wife and any children they had together (and whatever we could find on his time as a boxer) to make his pages & info in the family history complete. We didn't have Nellie's maiden name & didn't know if they'd had other children together. Your post helped a lot. I'm pretty confident she has the basic info on both wives & all his children now. I'll still keep an eye out for anything on the boxing. Thanks again! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
