I missed the start of this thread, but I am looking for information on Lucinda Wheeler, born 3 Apr 1803 in Clermont County. She married John Simpson Aldridge in Clermont County on 22 Jul 1819. She died 19 Apr 1836 and is buried in Rush County. I would love to know who her parents were. Any clues??

John: That is correct person. Lavina?/Lovina?/Lavena? Wheeler born 1806, daughter of William (1780-1859) and Margery (Thompson) (1784-1857) Wheeler, who married 1805. William and Margery Wheeler there, Samuel and Frances (Tewell) Short just south, and widow (of William Short) Charlotte (Hall) Short on the 2 1/2 acres saved from old John and Mary Short Sr homeplace. The spelling is like any, depends upon the writer and the writers penmanship . The death records, Vigo Co Ind, record the info on Amanda (Wheeler) Short. Plus, as I suggest, since everyone now has access to Civil War pensions, etc, some interested party should look up her and his pension info; may be other info???? Take care. Regards, Dick

Ben Franklin's famous cartoon 13 segemated snake captioned something like - "United we stand:divided we fall " was accurate. 13 former British colonies ,some that were about 50-50 on Independence. That was nearly the Contential Congress vote on Independence. 50-50. 1st, there were 20 some British colonies in North America,not 13. 4 in Canada,and some in the West Indies,but also East Florida and West Florida,from Jacksonville to Natchez. Ky had 3 forts in 1775. Lexington,Ky had a Loyalist colony in 1776. Some say there was another Loyalist fort in 1780 north of Lexington. Down in western NC,the Regulators-tax protestors- were defeated in 1771,and made to take an oath to King George III. Thus,western NC had more of a brother vs brother war. Col Jonathan Hunt was the militia leader of the Boone-Bryan settlement oon the Yadkin around Mockville,NC,where the DAR chapter is named for him. 2 of his 20 siblings pioneered east of Bethel,Clermont. Levi and Charles Hunt,who moved on in 1807. They had a sister married,and widowed by a Loyalist Bryan,whose brothers were Col Saluwm Bryan,and Capt Joseph Bryan,all uncles of Rebecca,-Mrs Daniel Boone. Back in 1776,when the British military moved it's base from Boston to New York city,they had 600 boats. In July,1777,in their move from New York city to Philadelphia,they had 260 boats. The British controlled the Atlantic,except in 1781,during Yorktown,Va. How many Clermonters had once lived exposed to the British Navy,or near the foraging parties sent out by the British from Boston,New York,Philadelphia,or [fewer] Charleston? No way to defend any of the colony of Delaware,for instance. Or the Jersey shore. Campbell Co,KY IS JUST SW OF Clermont Co,and named for Pittsburg fur merchant,John Campbell,whose busines and land speculation partner was Dr John Connolly. Together ,1774, they owned the site of Louisville,Ky,but Connolly was then captured as a Loyalist.

Hermon, can you tell us more about the Loyalists and those who changed sides? Also, which of your ancestors was caught smuggling to the British? We always hear about the Patriot/Rebel side, but I know so little about the Loyalists. This is interesting! Thanks, Amy

Clermont Co was not settled in the Rev War. Every pioneer lived back East,or in the Carolina's. Some were Loyal to England. Some were neutral. Some served on private privateers.Some smuggled.Some served on Rebel militia units,or regular units. Winners write the history. Because of that,and the D.A.R,-S.A.R. many of the books are about the Whig,or Rebel soldiers. Evert's 1880 history gives a partial list of soldiers. Beech Forrest DAR edited Roster III OF Ohio Vetrans 'sic. I bought a reprint 2 vol Indiana DAR book that was my best resource. Aileen Whitt,past president of the Clermont Co Genealogy Society, had jury duty,and while waiting to serve,dug around the Clermont Co courthouse,and found vetrans pension applications. [Many pioneers died before,or moved on,or did not qualify for pensions]. 1st,for 'NEED" was about 1814-18..Anyway,Aileen researched locally,and at the National Archives and National DAR library,material for 3-4 books,of her about 20 resource books.Her research was likely done before this remarkable tool called the Internet came along. Penn Archives shows that one of my own ancestors was at least 3 times fined for not attending Capt Francis Bonner's militia meeting during the war. Another of my own ancestors was kicked out of his Quaker meeting for swearing an oath in support of the Rebel cause. I'm sitting 2 miles from a pioneer's 1803 cabin. He was once found guilty of smuggling to the British across Rebel lines. Our Nantucket WHALERS included Quakers.Rev Phillip Gatch was partially blinded getting tarred and feathered by Rebel militia.Daniel Boone was courtmarshalled for helping the enemy.And found not guilty. The National DAR was very lax in researching the accuracy of member applications for many years. I have been known to have called my Indiana DAR books 'works of fiction" for all the errors. I can open either vol to any 2 pages,or 14-16 vetrans paragraphs,and find errors on every page. Birth location is the worst. Every page will have a birth location and date well west of the frontier for that date. Many changed sides during the war. NC forced captive Loyalists by 1780,to serve in Whig units,or hire a substitute. I think there were several NC Loyalists south of Bethel by 1810.

Actually, it is Lovina Wheeler (with an "o".) She never married and as far as I know she never did have any children - at least not that the family documented (or would admit.)

Hello: Thanks for the continued History, it is priceless. One of the Wheeler "debates" that comes up over the times, and repeats, is about the "history" of the wife of Elijah Beckelhymer, son of John Abraham Beckelhymer and Margaret Short. This has been rehashed several times, but my research efforts results are: Elijah "Bhymer" born 5 Jan/5Jun 1826 Clermont Co Oh, married 2 Feb 1849, to Amanda Wheeler born 1828 Clermont Co Ohio. No children lived past infancy, even though twice they had a different young female living with them. Elijah "Bhymer" died Vigo Co Ind 14 June 1895. Amanda (Wheeler) "Bhymer" died Vigo Co Ind 2 May 1905. She died with no blood relatives living in Vigo Co Ind, though had intermarried relatives living there. ! She is listed/documented as being the daughter of Lavina Wheeler, and "unlisted/unknown/un-surnamed father". This, along with "story", and "other", indicates that Lavina Wheeler was not married at the time, and may have stayed so?

Reuben Ross, b: abt. 1755, Harford Co, MD, d: Hamilton Co, OH. He applied for his pension in Hamilton Co 9 June, 1818 and he had a brother, Ignatius. Apparently, there were 3 Reuben Ross's in the Rev War from MD... this one from Harford Co, 1 from Dorchester Co and the other I have no information on. The Dorchester Co. Reuben Ross died in IL. Research suggests that the Harford Co and Dorchester Co Reubens were probably of the same immigrant.

There was a 2nd Wheeler family in s Tate township 15 miles south east of Lewis Road. I have my doubts about "ANY" of the 3+ Maine colonies men serving from Va. Mass,or New Hampshire. I have no PROOF of no Va service by any of the Maine colonies. I have no doubt about the Lewis Rd Wheeler's being from Maine,nor of some going to Vigo Co,though Milroy,Rush Co,Indiana in 1826 was also mentioned.

Heritage Quest index for Rev. War pensions and blwt shows 86 Wheeler files for MA, 17 for NH and 11 for VA. What given names are being debated here?

Hello: I'v been in the d - - n horsepistol again, so missing subjects, - - - - as usual. In these last "messages", an "answer" to someone who has evidently asked about one of the John Wheelers, the "listing" is "John Wheeler, of Lewis Road ?", and "{Doubt if a Va Vet}", and I am missing all of the "meat" of the question/answer/subject/etc. Why the question? Does some one doubt this John Wheeler as being the son of the Rev War Vet, John Wheeler, who is buried in the Short Family Cemetery (listed later by DAR as the Wheeler Short Cemetery) just off of Lewis Road ( but now destroyed by stupidity)? - - - - or that the Wheelers lived in area? And why the doubt of being a Va Vet? These Wheelers, from Maine, "placed" part in Hamilton Co Ohio, as well as Clermont Co Ohio, and part into Vigo Co Ind, and back and forth across the Illinois/Indiana line. Sorry to ! be busting in on the subject. Take care. Regards, Dick

Lena BALLARD was in my Bethel-Tate class of 1956,from ne Monroe twnsp. There were Claypool brothers who owned the site of Fayetteville, Perry twnsp, Clermont,then 1818 ,Brown Co. Soloman and Jacob. One buried his murdered Ballard wife in Cramner's Methodist cemetary, 1\2 mile east of Marathon,Clermont, in Perry,Brown Co,Oh on US Rt 50. Her father was Quaker,and migrated from sw Va or NC,to Highland,or Clinton Co,Ohio.
