Harry Asher Blount, a well-known dealer in boots and shoes and gent's furnishing goods in Macomb, McDonough County, Ill., was born in that city September 2, 1872, a son of ASHER AND CYNTHIA (BARNEY) BLOUNT, natives of Jefferson County, N. Y. The grandparents on both sides, AMBROSE AND BETSY (WOOD) BLOUNT, and HART AND BETSY (NEWELL) BARNEY, were all natives of Jefferson County, that state, except the paternal grandfather, who was born in St. Lawrence County, N.Y. Great grandfather, ASHER BLOUNT was of Vermont origin. Harry Asher Blount attended public school and Lombard College, at Galesburg, Ill., completing his college course at the age of twenty-one years. He then returned to Macomb and was employed in the pottery line for one year. For one year he was secretary of the Tennessee Pottery Company, at Tennessee, Ill. He then engaged in the real estate business in Macomb, in which he is still interested. A year after engaging in real estate operations, together with BENJAMIN GRIFFIN, he purchased the boot and shoe concern of GEORGE KERMAN. On January 9, 1905, CHARLES STAPP bought the interest of Mr. Griffin. In December, 1903, Mr. Blount purchased a stock of boots and also a stock of gent's furnishing goods, which he handles under the firm name of BLOUNT & COMPANY. He is a competent business man and is developing a flourishing trade. In social circles he is quite popular, and his early life is bright with promise. In politics, Mr. Blount is a supporter of the Republican party. Fraternally, he is a member of the K. T., K. of P. and Phi Delta Theta.

Asher Benjamin Blount, (deceased), former highly respected citizen of Macomb, McDonough County, Ill., was born in Ellisburg, Jefferson County, N. Y., May 27, 1819, a son of AMBROSE AND BETSY (WOOD) BLOUNT. The father was a native of Connecticut, and the mother of Middletown, VT. Ambrose Blount was a teacher and a magistrate. In 1814 he was enrolled as a "Minute Man", but was never called into service. Betsy Wood, the mother, was a sister of HON. REUBEN WOOD, a former Governor of Ohio. In boyhood Mr. Blount enjoyed but limited educational opportunities. At a later period, however, he took a course of study in a select school, subsequently taught for eight or ten seasons and was County Superintendent for a long time. In Jefferson County, N. Y., he was engaged in farming, blacksmithing and carriage making. He came to Illinois in 1866, and entered into the lumber business in Macomb, continuing thus until his retirement from active life. He was, for a long time, President of the Macomb Stoneware Company, and the Macomb Building and Loan Association. He was the possessor of one of the choicest and most complete libraries in Macomb. The first wife of Mr. Blount was ROXANNA MILES, to whom he was married April 18, 1848, at Watertown, Jefferson County, N. Y. She was born in that county and died in June, 1860, having borne three children, namely: MARY E. (MRS. J. W. HOSMAN), who resides with the 2nd Mrs. Blount; FRANK J. (Director of the Blount Pottery, of Macomb; and FRED P., who is farming in Kansas. March 25, 1868, Mr. Blount was united in marriage with CYNTHIA S. BARNEY, also a native of Jefferson County, N. Y. This union resulted in two children: HARRY, who owns two shoe stores in Macomb; and MYRA, wife of DR. FRANK LANE, of Macomb. Mrs. Blount's parents were from Vermont. Her father was born in 1801, and he had a clear recollection of the war of 1812. He was a clothier by occupation, but on account of his health turned his attention to farming. Mrs. Blount completed her education at Falley Seminary, Oswego, N. Y., and afterward became a teacher in that institution, coming with her husband to Macomb in 1868. She is the youngest of five children, who are all living, and that she comes of a long-lived family is further evident from the fact that her parents survived until they were over eighty years of age. In politics, Mr. Blount was a supporter of the Republican party, in which he had been prominent and influential. In Jefferson County, N. Y., he served as Inspector of Schools, Township Superintendent and Township Clerk. He had twice held the office of Mayor of Macomb. In all of these public trusts, he discharged the duties devolving upon him with signal ability and fidelity, and throughout his prolonged career enjoyed the confidence and respect of the entire community. Religiously, he was allied with the Universalist Church. The genealogical record shows that both the Blount and Barney families came from England to New Salem, Mass., just a year apart. LORD BLOUNT, who figured conspicuously in the battle of Shrewsbury, was an ancestor of the American branch. His death occurred October 29, 1899.

Under the "kind of house" columns (e.g.: stone, frame, log) I found what appeared to be "Soq." What is this?" Michael -- I believe it would be a "sod" house.... i.e., made of grass sod blocks. I was in one this summer in Heritage Park, Calgary Alberta Canada. They were very common in the early prairies (mid-late 1800s) where there was very little wood to be had to build houses. Likely quite similar to peat block houses/ shelters. The sod in the one I was in, was cut in layers about 2" deep and into strips about 18" x 30". The walls are the 18" depth. The strips were laid overlapping on top of each other just like modern brickwork. // Gord Hines (in Regina SK Canada)

In answer to the person who asked about the 1865 census: William Lichtman placed the entire 1865 Jefferson County census in print! This mammoth effort [over a dozen volumes] is available in only a few places; one of them, thank heaven, the New York Public Library. A great list. Thank you.

SURNAMES: Morgan, Heath/Heth, Chafee/Chafa, Granville/Greenfield, Cutter/Cutler, Hurd. TIME PERIOD: 1820's - 1860's. I have been doing my family history research for almost two years now, and there has always been one mystery in the family: John William Morgan, my great grandfather. A relative in Ohio put me on the right track when he told me that J. W. Morgan born in Henderson Harbor on 2 APR 1856, which is confirmed by his death certificate. Before 1889, he moved to Canada, married Rachael Emma Presley, and raised a family in Montreal until the turn of the century. In 1903, the family moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he lived for twenty years until his death on 20 FEB 1923. He was buried on 23 FEB 1923 at Forest Lawn Cemetery. As you can see, I know quite a bit about his life in Michigan, and even a bit about it in Canada, but it is in New York where his origins grow misty. By now, I have researched Henderson Harbor of the 1820's - 1860's pretty thoroughly, and I have found some evidence to suggest that John W. Morgan was born James W. Morgan to Remembrance Peter Morgan, son of Remembrance J. W. Morgan. Is it wishful thinking or probable? There were other Morgan families in the Town of Henderson in the 1850's and 1860's, but none as deep-rooted as the family of Remembrance J. W. Morgan. Remembrance J. W. Morgan was probably born about 1800 in Hampton, Mass. to William Morgan and Mary Masury, and had come to Henderson Harbor before 1830. His first wife's name was Hannah, born about 1803 and died in Henderson 18 SEP 1848. A fellow researcher believes that they were married in 1822 in Burlington, Chittendle County, Vermont. Remembrance must have been a bright man, for he picked an excellent spot for his ship-building business, smack in the center of Henderson Harbor, just down the street from the Frontier Hotel. Business must have been good, for by age 60 he lived in a stone house on Harbor Road and his property was valued at $1,600. Hannah bore him at least seven children: Remembrance Peter, Berthena, Enoch S., Calphurnia, Deborah, Lateree R., and Alzina. As for the girls, I am not sure what became of Alzina, but Deborah and Lateree died in adolescence, while Berthena and Calphurnia married Asa Hurd of Ellisburg and Jerome B. Greenfield of Rutland, respectively. Enoch S. married Julia Ann Heath of Henderson. Julia and Enoch lived with R. J. W. in the great house, and they brought with them Deborah Heath, Julia's mother. Julia was probably still married to Royal Heath of Scriba in Oswego County, but in name only. When Enoch died in 1859, Julia and Deborah stayed on with Remembrance J. W., and by 1860 Remembrance J. W. had married Deborah and gone from Julia's father-in-law to Julia's stepfather! Remembrance Peter married Mariette B. Cutler of Henderson in 1847 and they lived in the 1850's and early 1860's in a separate household. Judging by census records, their son Joseph S. was born in 1851 (and died in childhood) and James W. was born next. It is this James W. that I believe may be my great-grandfather, J. W. Morgan! (Mariette probably died, as Remembrance Peter remarried to Mary Melissa Chafee/Chafa in 1864.) There is an odd discrepancy with the ages on the censuses: the 1860 census lists James as 7, but the 1865 lists his age as 8. I cannot account for the age difference, but the 1865 census would be about right for my J. W. Does anybody have more information about the Morgan family? About the Granville/Greenfield, Heath/Heth, Cutler/Cutter, Chafee/Chafa or Hurd families? I'm looking for any scrap of information, as it may lead to a helpful detail I have missed. Sorry this post is so long. Thanks in advance for any help. Best Wishes, Michael Jackman P.O.

Hello everyone, This is a message to anyone who might subscribe to the Jefferson County Genealogical Society newsletter called the Informer? If you keep the back issues, I am trying to obtain a copy of a certain article: "Samuel Cronkhite House, Brief History" in Jefferson County Genealogy Informer, Vol. 5, no. 2, March 1998. This article might provide some important clues as to the parents of Samuel. Thanks for your help. Allan Plucinik Colorado Springs, CO

Hello all I am researching Tuckers, My ggg-grandfather John Tucker had a daughter Sarah Melissa Tucker born January 7, 1843, in Clayton, Jefferson Co. (and possibly other children) They moved to Michigan around 1855. Her obituary says that Roxann Tucker is her mother but I have John married to Sally Farr I don't know if she Sally is possibly a second wife cause I know she is the mother to some of his other children. Any information on the Farrs or Tuckers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sarah Armstrong

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have identified the parents of Asa MANLEY of Jefferson County, NY (until 1830) who moved to Bazetta, Trumbull Co., Ohio (about 1832, died after 1855). I had been sending out queries regarding him for some time, but today I finally found the Revolutionary War pension application for his father, Daniel Manley of Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., NY, born 1760 in Sandisfield, Berkshire Co., Mass. For those of you who are related to Martin MANLEY & Azuba HURD, pioneers who settled about 1805 in what became known as Portage Co., Ohio, Daniel is Martin's brother. Daniel had three daughters settle in Ohio besides his son Asa. Incidentally, Daniel's wife, Desire SUMNER was the descendant of two Mayflower families through her mother (Thomas ROGERS & Stephen HOPKINS -- Alden & Mullins lineage has been disproven as of this year). She is also a descendant, through her father, of John STOWE, the prominent Elizabethan-era historian whose works are still in the collection of the British Royal Museum. If anyone is interested in corresponding about this family, please email me or visit my website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/welcome.html which I will be updating soon with this new information. Thanks!!! Mark A. Wentling P.S. -- Gloria, this sheds new light on the descendant report you emailed me recently -- isn't this great?!

Good morning. Thank you for the information. I wonder if I wrote to him, if he would answer me. All your help is greatly appreciated. Have a great day. Connie
