They had several children and in the 1850's moved to Tama Co., IA. in Howard twp. Judy Judy, I't almost certainly a connection as my NJ people moved west as early as 1800. The question is who were John' s parents? From there I've a pretty good chance of fitting him into the family tree. Laurence

I hope to find clues leading to the parents of sisters: MARY ANN FLEMING, b. Abt. 1819; m. February 09, 1840, Shelby County, Ohio, to John P. Greeley, d. December 24, 1890, Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa. ELIZA FLEMING, b. 1821, Butler County, Ohio; m. February 15, 1846, Shelby County, Ohio, to John P. Bothel, d. March 30, 1884, Clayton Township, Taylor County, Iowa. Or information about CATHERINE FLEMING who married William H. Sloan on September 10, 1840, in Shelby County, Ohio. Mary Ann and Eliza FLEMING's father was born in Kentucky and their mother was born in either Ohio or Kentucky. The sisters belonged to the same church as IRA F. HUNT, b. 1782, Vermont, d. 1845, Shelby County, OH, and his son IRA F. HUNT, b. 1810, Butler County, OH, d. before 1866, Shelby County, OH. They seem to have traveled with the Hunt and Greeley families from Butler County, Ohio to Shelby County, Ohio. Thank you!

Hmm. Well, I guess what I have isn't going to help. My husband's grandmother is supposed to be part Indian, too. I haven't done any research along those lines, tho., so I can't give you a any advice.

Mary (or others), do you have anything on the parents of Harry McDonald? Here's what I have on him: George Waltz's daughter _Evelyn_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~vlwest/eButler/album/mcdonald.htm) "Eva" WALTZ (1883-1969) married Harry McDonald around 1900. Harry was born 8 February (year unknown). Harry and Eva's farm in Franklin County, IN near Drewersburg was 8 miles west of Harrison, OH. With no local high school, their only child, James W. MACDONALD (1901-1994), went to the Morgan Township High School in Butler Co OH, where he met _C. F. GEORGE_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vlwest/e-jack.htm#fred) 's daughter, Lois (1899-1967), in Latin class. When more money was needed for their son, J.W. "Mac", to go to college, the McDonald family moved to Oxford, OH where Harry operated a dry cleaning store. "Mac" and Lois both attended _Otterbein College_ (http://members.aol.com/Otterbein2/) in Westerville, OH before they married. Harry died in 1956. Nancy Sween

Hi, Don't know for sure but it may have something to do with I Samuel Chapter 7. There was an old hymn that said something to the effect that "I will throw my Ebenezer down."

Chr(3): Misc(4): Covalt Station was in the valley of the Little Miami River about 10 miles above Columbia. It was established by Captain Abraham Covalt of New Jersey, a Revolutionary rebel. He left his residence in PA on January 1, 1789 with a party of 45 persons. About 1791/2, Covalt and two other men were killed and scalped. As soon as the news reached Columbia, a party which included Daniel Doty went to the station to bury the murdered men. In 1792, Daniel Doty returned to New Jersey by way of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and by sea. Migration(5,6,7): Daniel Doty lived out of doors for more than two weeks, cooking and sleeping in the open air while his cabin was going up. this was just over the border in Warren County, and the denseness of the woods was the reason why he finally abandoned that neighborhood and moved on to reside on the banks of the Miami. He was tired of fighting nature, and when he heard that there was a beautiful natural prairie along the Miami River , he left the improvements of eight or nine months and went to dwell in what was to be Butler County. He built the first cabin in what would become Middletown, Ohio. Religion(8): Death(9): Burial(10): He was 83 years of age. Daniel Doty donated the land for Middletown Cemetery. It is located on First Avenue in Middletown and was established in 1827. Bio-sketch: The following is an exerpt from the history of Middletown from "A History and Biographical Cyclopaedia of Butler County, Ohio" "Probably the first settler in Middletown was Daniel DOTY, one of the Western pioneers, who died on Monday, the eighth day of May, 1848, at his residence near Middletown, at the advanced age of eighty-three years. Daniel DOTY was one of the first settlers of Bulter County, and among the first pioneers of the Miamai country. He was born in Essex County, State of New Jersey, on the twenty-third day of March, 1765. His parents were respectable, honest people, in the humble walks of life, who were unable to give their children any education other than thta which could be acquired at a common country school. They, however, taught them their duty to their Creator and fellow-beings, and brought them up to havits of honest industry on which, with their own exertion, they had to depend to make their way through life. Having heard of the fine fertile country then opening in the far West, Daniel formed the resolution of exploring it and judging for himself. Accordingly, on the tenth day of September, 1790, he left his home in the State of New Jersey and proceeded to Fort Pitt (now Pittsburg), from whence he descended the Ohio River to Columbia, six miles below Fort Washington, situated where Cincinnati now is. He landed at Cloumbia on the twenty-third day of October following. At that time there were but two hewed-log houses in the town. They stood near the bank of the Ohio River. One of them was occupied by Major Benjamin STITES, the other by John S. GANO. GANO was captain of the militia, and Ephraim KIBBY was lieutenant. The company consisted of about seventy men, good and true, who were willing to risk their lives for the defense of the country. " Bio-sketch(11): The Coming of the Pioneer After the Ordinance of 1787 was passed by Congress, John Cleves Symmes formed a land company and in New Jersey distributed folders advertising the Miami country. Among those who read Judge Symmes' description of the fertile valley between the two Miamis were Daniel Doty, Stephen Veil, Moses Potter, and Abner Enoch, the men who first arrived at the site now occupied by the city of Middletown, Ohio. Daniel Doty was the first man to make a settlement near Middletown. Some time in 1791, he reached the Great Miami and constructed a rough log cabin on the east bank of the river. His life, filled with hardships as well as wilderness triumphs, is typical of that of the early pioneer. On March 23, 1765, he was born in Essex County, New Jersey. After being educated in the common schools of his own state, he was thrilled by stories of the new frontiers of the Northwest. In October, 1790, he left his home to take a long, perilous trip through the wilderness to Fort Pitt, thence down the Ohio River in a flatboat to the new settlement of Columbia at Fort Miami, near the mouth of the Little Miami River. Here he stopped to assume the responsibilities of life in a frontier settlement. He enlisted as a member of the militia, which was under the command of John Geno. The little company of seventy men had not only to be ready at a moment's notice to defend Columbia against the attacks of Indians, but to aid of communities as well. When the news came that Covalt's station had been attacked, a party, among whom was Doty, went to the relief of the settlement. Being a religious man, Doty volunteered to go to Kentucky to fetch the Rev. Mr. Kemper, a Presbyterian minister, and his family to the Miami Country. In June, 1791, accompanied by another man, the pioneer started on his mission. Two men followed an old Indian trail on which two other men had been scalped the previous week. The trip was, however, successful, and Mr. Kemper was brought to Columbia. While he was living at Columbia, Doty decided to explore the region along the Miami River. He came up the Great Miami to the point where Middletown now stands, and so rich was the land of the "Little Prairie," that he decided to make a settlement here, after he had brought his family to the West. After looking over the land, he returned to Columbia, and floated down the Ohio and the Mississippi to New Orleans by flatboat. By sea he returned home to New Jersey, where he worked for three years. In the spring of 1796 he decided to return to the Miami Valley with his family and make a permanent settlement. He improved the land which he had formerly explored, and built a log cabin on the bank of the Miami River, one mile below Middletown. There is also a mention of Daniel Doty's hand mill: "For some pioneers the only way to make corn meal was to grate the corn on a simple kitchen grater, but a few, such as Daniel Doty, Middletown's pioneer settler, had hand mills. Doty's mill was the first and neighbors often stopped by to see it." Bio-sketch(12): When Daniel Doty grew up in New Jersey, he heard of the fertility and beauty of the new country opening up in the west. He resolved to explore the country and judge for himself, and so on September 10, 1790, he left his home and proceeded to Fort Pitt where he boarded a flat-boat and navigated the Ohio River to the infant settlement of Columbia, at the mouth of the Little Miami River. He arrived there on the 23rd of October. Two hand-hewn log houses stood near the bank of the river where Daniel Doty landed. One belonged to Major Benjamin Stites and the other to John S. Gano. Daniel Doty decided to make his home in the area. He enlisted as a member of the militia; every able-bodied man in the settlement had to be enrolled. The company consisted of about 70 men who readied themselves to defend the settlement. Daniel and a man by the name of French were chosen by the people to go and bring the new minister and his wife and family to the settlement. It was June of 1791 when they set out, crossed the Ohio at Fort Washington and moved cautiously with rifles primed. The road was nothing more than a trace for more than sixty miles along the Dry Ridge. Two men had been killed on this trace the previous week. The first night they camped in the woods; the second night they reached Georgetown, where Daniel Doty observed that with all the fiddling and dancing in almost every cabin and remarked that they acted as though they "neither feared God nor regarded Indians." The next day they went on to Lexington, procured horses and removed Rev. Mr. Kemper and his family to the Miami country. They took the route to Limestone (later Maysville, KY) on the Ohio River. There they procured a flat-boat and getting all the family and horses aboard and proceded down the river to Fort Washington. From there, they returned to Columbia. The Indians at this time caused frequent alarms. The men had to go armed to church and to be ready at a moment's warning to repel a savage attack. The Indians watched for every opportunity to destroy the new settlement. Every able-bodied man had to meet on parade every Sunday morning, armed and equipped. After their manual exercise, they marched to the place of worship, stacked their guns in a corner of the cabin until divine service was over. Then they took up their guns and returned to their homes. One Sunday morning the congregation received information that Indians were in the neighborhood and that one of them had been killed and his bloody scalp was exhibited to the assembled worshippers. Colonel Oliver Spencer, commander of the militia, advised the congregation to return to their homes and prepare for defence. On April 24, 1792, Daniel left Columbia in a flat-boat, descended the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans and went by boat to New York and returned to his native New Jersey. He remained there until the fall of 1795, and then returned. Wayne's treaty with the Indians had been concluded at Greenville, Ohio and peace was restored to the country. In the spring of 1796, Daniel and his wife Betsy and their children moved to the area of Middletown and began to improve a tract of land they had previously purchased. His was the first wagon to mark the ground to the site. They raised a cabin and enclosed it. There was an abundance of timber and with some of it he built their furniture. He laid a puncheon floor in his cabin and made the door of clapboards fastened with wooden pins and hung on wooden hinges. A table was made from a slab split from a tree; it was supported by four wooden legs made from hickory saplings. At that time there were very few settlers in the neighborhood. There was a block-house enclosed in a picket fence and a few cabins on the south side of the prairie near Dick's Creek. The neighbors were Brady, Carson,John Reed and Joseph Henry. They had to go to Cincinnati for some of the provisions to support the family for the first year until they could raise a crop. Wild game was plenty and Doty delighted in hunting. Late in the summer of 1796, on a Sunday morning while on the way to meeting, he got a short distance and heard his dog barking across the cornfield. It was a small dog that had come from the Indians and it was an excellent coon dog. Daniel crossed the field and found that the dog was barking at a wild cat standing on a fence and glaring down at the dog. Doty spoke to encourage the dog and the big cat sprung off the fence toward him. He had no gun with him. The cat took off followed by the dog. The corn was thick and high and Daniel lost sight of them both but he soon saw the wild cat coming toward him with the dog on its heels. The cat made a lunge to turn and seize the dog and Daniel kicked the cat over and caught it by the hind legs; he placed his foot on it's chest adn pressed with all his strength until it ws dead. He had killed several wild cats but thought that this was a good one third larger than any he had ever seen. Daniel was the first collector of taxes in the settlement. His district was twelve miles wide, from north to south. The amount committed to him for collection was $240.; he collected every dollar and paid it over to Jacob Burnet, the treasurer for Hamilton county, at Cincinnati. For his services, including time and expenses, he received 1% or $2.40. This was the only public office that Daniel Doty was known to hold. On May 2, 1848, he had an attack of "bilious congestive fever" increasing in violence, which baffled the medical experts. On Monday May 8, 1848 he breathed his last at the age of 83 years. On Tuesday his remains were interred in the burying ground east of Middletown with a large number of relatives and friends following his coffin to the grave site. Daniel and Betsy Crane Doty were married more than 52 years. They lived out their lives on the farm near Middletown, Butler County, Ohio. Betsy was 77 years of age when Daniel died. They raised a family of 10 children. SOURCES 1. LDS Records. 2. CEMETERY Records. Middletown Cemetery, Butler Co, Ohio. 3. LDS Records. Daniel DOTY (AFN: T9HZ-XT). 4. Compiled by Henry A.

I am not sure which tribe of Indians I am looking for and, I will admit that I really don't know where to begin. The families I am looking for are Drew and Stewart. They came from West Virginia. One census record says they are Indian and then another says that they were black. I doubt they were Wyandot Indians, family tales say there were Cherokee. someone in the family claims that they got "Indian" benefits that pay for college, but they have 'lost the papers' that proved Indian heritage and they can't or won't offer how they got this information...
