His wife, who bore the maiden name of Dorothy Dunn, passed away in 1845, leaving one son, Adam Crawshaw. James Crawshaw was twice married, and by his second union became the father of two children, Alice Ann, the wife of ex-Governor Leslie Shaw, and Jane Gulick, of Denison, Iowa.

His services in behalf of the Union during the Civil war entitle him to membership in the Grand Army of the Republic, where he maintains pleasant relations with his old army comrades of the blue.

K. "An Illustrated History of the State of Oregon." Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co. 1893. p. 282. PEMBROKE GAULT. An honored Oregon pioneer of 1852, now deceased, was born in Guilford, State of Vermont, July 12, 1817. Grandfather Gault emigrated from Scotland and settled in Vermont. His son, John Gault, was a soldier in the Revolution, and his son was Pembroke Gault, the fourth son in a family of nine children. When he was seven years of age he went to the State of Massachusetts, and was there reared until he became of age, by General Barney. From that State he removed to Missouri, and April 10, 1842, he married Miss Elizabeth McLain, a native of the State of Kentucky, born March 20, 1819, a daughter of Daniel McLain, a native of Lexington, Kentucky. After marriage they removed to Iowa, taking a farm, in Davis county, from the Government, and this farm they improved. On this farm five children were born in the family of Mr. Gault, namely: Daniel, who died at Pilot Rock, Oregon, February 26, 1880. His wife, whose name before marriage was Carry Tuttle, died only two weeks previous. Their two children, Lewis and Jesse E., now reside at Pendleton, Oregon. The other four children of Mr. Gault are: Mary E., now Mrs. G. T. Goss, who resides in Vancouver; Lucy C., who now is Mrs. W. N. Buchanan, and resides in Portland; Perris, who died in his third year; and Roxana, who became the wife of M. T. Patten, and resides at Forest Grove. With this little family Mr. and Mrs. Gault started to cross the plains, April 15, 1852. Mr. Gault's brother had married Mrs. Gault's sister, and with their family of five children accompanied our subject and family. They had ten yoke of oxen and quite a number of loose cattle. They had a large emigrant wagon, and had everything as comfortable as traveling in those days, and through that country, could be made. This was the great cholera year, and some died with it, one little daughter our subject, three years of age, falling a victim. They left her little body near the Burnt Hills, on Smoke river, and sadly started on their way. A great deal of snow fell, and there was much suffering, and to add to their trouble, five yoke of their oxen at something which caused their death. Aside from these troubles the party made a safe journey, and arrived at the Dalles September 17, came down the river in boats to Sandy, where they landed, and went two miles below Portland and wintered. In February, 1853, they came to the donation claim and purchased the right to 320 acres of land of Mr. Allen Richardson. It was timbered land, which was difficult to clear, but he worked hard and made a it a fine farm. Later he added eighty acres. In politics, Mr. Gault was a Republican, and was interested in all of the offices of the county, although he did not hold any but that of Road Overseer in his vicinity, which position he held for many years. He and his wife had been Methodists since 1844, and he had been one of the strongest pillars of the church, serving in an official capacity for many years. He was a man of great integrity of character, a good citizen, a loving husband and an indulgent father. His death occurred, of heart failure, July 23, 1887. He had just lived his three-score years and ten, and while his death was most keenly felt by his bereaved widow and children, they had the great consolation in feeling that their loss was his eternal gain. In Oregon four children were added to the family, namely: Hannah T., who is now Mrs. R. L. Durham, of Portland; Charles, who resided in the State of Washington; Fremont D. is on the donation claim; and Eunice G. is now the wife of E. M. Sargent, of Portland. Fremont D., who is now on the donation claim, was born June 21, 1859. He was reared on the farm, and attended the public schools in his vicinity. January 26, 1880, he was married to Miss Agnes M. McKernan, who was born in Washington county, a daughter of John McKernan, who came to Oregon in 1852, and the step-daughter of John Groner, also a worthy Oregon pioneer. Mr. and Mrs. Fremont Gault have three children, namely: Eunice M., Chester C. and John P. Mr. Gault is an enterprising farmer, and has a very nice home which he has recently had built, and he and his good wife are fine representatives of the sons and daughters of Oregon. He is a member of the I.O.O.F., and also the A.O.U.W., and is Past Master of the latter and has held all of the offices in the order. His politics are Republican. His mother now resides with him, and in her seventy-fourth year, is in good health, and possesses the respect and affection of all who know her.

PERRYMAN, M.D., was born in Russell County, Ky., December 30, 1840, and is the youngest of twelve children born to William, Jr., and Sabrina (Johnson) Perryman, natives of Maryland and North Carolina respectively, and of English descent. William Perryman, Jr., was born in 1781, and when a small boy came with his parents to Russell Count, Ky. (then a part of Green County), in 1806, when the youngest child, Washington, was two years old. In that county he grew to manhood, and was married. Soon after attaining his majority he bought wild land on the waters of the Cumberland near Jamestown, and improved a farm on which he resided until his death, September 15, 1865. In early life he had learned the carpenter's trade which he continued to follow all his life in connection with farming. Both he and wife were from childhood members of the Old School Baptist Church. William Perryman, Sr., was born and educated in Maryland, and afterward one of the early pioneers of Kentucky, settling in what is now Russell County.

NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 10950 WOODFORD CO - RICHARD W PHILLIPS - Phillips, Emery, Hawley, Whiteson, Ferguson, Hancock, Frazer #10950: "Portrait & Biographical Record of the Willamette Valley Oregon." Chapman Publishing Company, 1903. p. 596. RICHARD W. PHILLIPS. Among the pioneer settlers of Yamhill county Richard W. Phillips occupies an altogether unique place, his character, his farm and his career being as familiar to the old-time residents as are his genial face and kindly manner. Mr. Phillips was born in Limestone county, Ala., January 1, 1832, and as far back as is know his forefathers were farmers and large land owners in the south. His paternal grandfather, William E. Phillips, followed the martial forces of Washington during the Revolutionary war, gaining distinction because of his courageous and meritorious services. The parental family comprised thirteen children, who were given a fair education in the district schools. When their son, Richard W., was seven years old the family removed to Louisiana, and from that age until he was twenty he remained at home with his parents. At the latter age, however, he started out on his own responsibility, and in 1853 crossed the plains with ox teams. He was accompanied on the journey by his brother, George W., and they both sustained some loss, owing to the depredations of the Indians, thereby losing some of their horses. After a wearisome journey of over seven months they finally reached Amity, Yamhill county, where they remained for some time. At the end of the journey Richard W. was possessed of just $5 in currency, with which to begin life in the west, and, as may well be imagined, it did not carry him very far. Soon after his arrival, however, he was fortunate enough to secure employment at farm work, and in 1855 went to The Dalles, where for nine months he was employed by a pack train, und the supervision of the government. In the meantime his brother had enlisted in the Indian war of 1855-56, being under the command of Captain Emery, and acquitting himself creditably as a preserver of the peace in the west. From The Dalles Mr. Phillips removed to Yamhill county in 1857, and the same year started for California with a bunch of cattle. As this proved a paying venture he made similar expeditions for several years thereafter. For a time in 1859 he was employed at farm work, but the same year returned to Wasco county, Ore., where he dealt quite extensively in cattle, and remained there until 1873. While a resident of the latter county, in January, 1862, he married Mary Hawley, who was born on the Boise river, Idaho, in 1844. After his marriage he removed to the farm, which has since been his home, and which he had purchased in 1861, it being located one-half mile south of Whiteson. That Mr. Phillips has utilized the chances by which he has been surrounded in the northwest is proved by the fact that he now owns eleven hundred and eighteen acres of land, a truly wonderful increase over his original $5. About five hundred acres are under cultivation, and no farm in this county is better equipped or more extensive in its various avenues of activity. The past season witnessed the gathering of sixteen thousand pounds of hops, an item of commerce which is accounted one of the specialties of the Phillips farm, which is known as Peach Hill Farm. The five hundred head of stock include Shorthorn cattle, Cotswold sheep, Berkshire and Poland-China hogs, and Angora goats. An air of substantiality and thoroughness, also of extreme neatness and thrift, pervades this splendid old farm, as reliable and substantial as is the honored owner, everywhere known as Uncle Dick. The first wife of Mr. Phillips died in 1875, leaving three children: Richard W. Jr., of Coulee City, Wash.; Anna E., the wife of F. Ferguson, of Amity; and Carrie C., wife of George Hancock, of Cornelius. Some time after the death of his wife Mr. Phillips married Elizabeth Frazer, who was born in Woodford county, Ky., and this union resulted in the birth of four children: George E., at home; Homer C., a resident of eastern Oregon; one child, who died in infancy, and Curry S., who died at the age of six years. Ever since his voting days Mr. Phillips has taken a keen interest in politics, and has always espoused the cause of the Democratic party. He is a welcome member and visitor at various fraternal lodges in the county, notably the Masonic, of which he has been a member for over forty years; the Eastern Star, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which he is a charter member of twenty-six years standing. Mr. Phillips has been to the fore in all movements of a social or public nature in his neighborhood, and though extremely careful and conservative, has wielded a great influence in all matters of importance. His farm is the headquarters for several large industries, and friends come from far and near to partake of his hospitality. He is not only one of the largest hope and stock raisers, but is known as by far the most extensive mule raiser in Yamhill county.

RICHARD BANDY. The career of this gentleman illustrates most forcibly that success is the outcome of indefatigable energy, ambition, steadfastness of purpose and integrity. These qualities have enabled him to work his way upward unaided by others, and to-day he is recognized as one of the foremost agriculturists in Dallas county. His home is pleasantly located four miles northeast of Redfield, and comprises 240 acres. It is a very fine farm, under a high state of cultivation, and improved with good buildings and all the accessories and conveniences found upon a model farm of the nineteenth century. Mr. Bandy is a Western man by birth, training and interest, and his life typifies the progressive spirit of the age. He was born in Tazewell county, Illinois, on the 14th of March, 1833, and is a son of Reuben and Sibby (Adkisson) Bandy. His father was born in Virginia, in December, 1785, and descended from German ancestry. In the year 1810, in his native State, he married Miss Adkisson, who was born in the Old Dominion in September, 1788. In the year of their marriage they removed to Kentucky, where they resided for twelve years, going to Indiana in 1822. Ten years later they left the hoosier State for Tazewell county, Illinois, where they resided from 1832 until 1835, when they became residents of Knox county, that State, there spending their remaining days. They were people of the highest respectability, esteemed by many friends. The father passed away in Galesburg, in January, 1861, and on the 6th of April, 1876, his wife died in the same city. Mr. Bandy of this review accompanied his parents on their removal to Knox county, and was there reared to manhood, working on his father's farm and attending the public schools, where he acquired a good practical English education. As a companion and helpmeet on life's journey he chose Miss Lucinda Nelson, a native of Indiana, born in Jackson county, on the 1st of May, 1834. The wedding was celebrated in Henry county, Illinois, but they began their domestic life in Knox county, where they resided for twenty-four years, coming thence to Dallas county, Iowa, in 1881. Four children were born of their union: George Nelson, born March 9, 1859; Mrs. Emma Hodges, born December 1, 1861; Mrs. Nettie Simcoke, born February 20, 1864; and Frank Richard, born July 6, 1869. During his entire life Mr. Bandy has carried on agricultural pursuits as a means of livelihood, and his well directed efforts, perseverance and diligence have brought to him a handsome competence. To him is due the credit of making the Dallas county fairs the grand success which they have undoubtedly been for several years past. For the past decade he has been an earnest worker for this much desired result, and such fairs are certainly important factors in promoting the agricultural and stock- raising interests of his locality, awakening a desire to secure the best products and finest stock. All this stimulates progress. For ten years Mr. Bandy has been president of the Dallas County Agricultural Society. He has served as Township Trustee, and has held other offices, although he has never sought political preferment. His public duties are ever faithfully performed, and he is a recognized leader in the councils of the Republican party. No man is more widely known in all Dallas county than Mr. Bandy. He possesses a genial, pleasant manner, is courteous in his treatment of all, and has the high regard of young and old, rich and poor. His life has not been filled with exciting adventure, but has been quietly and unostentatiously devoted to duty, public and private. He is a man of much force of character, of steadfast purpose, and many a worthy cause has found in him a worthy champion.

BENJAMIN ORR PEERS - Peers, Holley #10948: History of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Lewis Collins, Maysville, Ky.; and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. The Rev. BENJAMIN ORR PEERS was born in Loudon county, Virginia, in the year 1800. His father, the late Major Valentine Peers, of Maysville, (a soldier of the revolutionary army) emigrated to Kentucky in 1803, when the subject of this brief notice was only three years old. Mr. Peers received the first rudiments of an academical education in the Bourbon Academy, and completed his scholastic course at Transylvania university while under the administration of Dr. Holley. He studied theology at Princeton. After completing his course in that institution, he connected himself with the Episcopal church, having previously belonged to the Presbyterian. He located at Lexington, where he established the Eclectic Institute, which became, under his supervision, one of the most valuable institutions of learning in the west. During the time he was at the head of the Eclectic Institute, and subsequently, he spent much time, labor and money in the cause of common school education, and was instrumental in arousing the public attention to the importance of the subject - the present common school system of Kentucky being the result of the popular will thus brought to bear upon the question. Mr. Peers, while at the head of the Eclectic Institute, was chosen president of Transylvania university, which position he accepted, in opposition to the advice of many warm friends, and which he held but a very brief period. At the time of his decease, in the year 1842, at Louisville, he was editor of the Episcopal Sunday School Magazine at New York, and, also, editor of the Sunday School publication of the church. He was distinguished not only for his zealous devotion to the cause of general education, but for his sound learning and ardent piety. His published writings were not extensive - the work on Christian Education appears to have been his favorite. H fell early, but fell at the post of duty.
