After years of searching I have finally discovered the parents of my James and Joseph Robison! Their parents were William and Elizabeth Robison, both born in PA. abt 1790 +/- 10 years. Son James was born in PA Feb 12, 1818. The family removed from Westmoreland PA to the state of OH some time before the birth of Joseph on Aug 14, 1819. I still don't know where in OH they settled (and exactly where Joseph was born), but know by 1841 both James and Joseph were in Richland Co., OH. I have not been able to locate the William Robison family in OH in either the 1820 or 1830 census, but hope to soon :-). I'm hoping someone will have information of William and Elizabeth Robison in the Westmoreland area of PA before 1818 and or the family once in OH after 1819.... Any of this sound familiar??? I look forward to sharing and comparing family info:-) Thanks in advance, Connie

Peggy On your list, that your Mother wrote to - you have a Calim Hampton (Lexington) - do you think that that name could be Calvin? If so - his son would be really interested in reading the letter(s) and then share them with his Father, Calvin. Thanks Nancy Carr

Hi, Apparently I was looking at an index for the 1850 Fed. Census. RI= Richland Co., and BU=Butler Township. Isobel

Thanks, Amy and Jim, for the "short course!" I guess it was pretty obvious, if I'd thought about it for awhile, in the context of state/county names, á la Rootsweb mail lists. Thanks!

Hello, I was viewing the different township information placed on the Richland Co. page. In Butler Township, I found some names I have been researching; Tucker, King and Nelson. I wondered what the RIBU 252B or 255B was. Can anyone tell me? Also, can anyone tell me the approximate dates of those list. Thank you, Isobel

I assume the Windsor Branch church mentioned here would have been a Baptist church at Windsor, although he was buried next to the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church across the street from his home.

This was sent to me from another list, someone else may find it helpful also. Terry ----------------- Source: [email protected] From: "Connie Spindel" <[email protected]> Subject: [SAUK] Newspaper article of those who migrated to Sauk Co., from Ohio 1842-1854 I found this 1906 article to be a big help in determining when my family removed from Richland Co., OH to Sauk Co., WI. and am in hopes it might also help others. I have also posted this with the Richland Co., OH USGenWeb website. I am currently in the process of extracting articles with historical and or genealogical interest which were printed in the Sauk County newspapers, beginning with the years 1855-1858, and hope to have my publication available within the coming year. --------------- Mar 8, 1906 edition of the Weekly Home News newspaper of Spring Green, Sauk Co., WI. Extracted by Connie Spindel Jan 23, 2003 *** Arrivals to the Honey Creek Twp. 1842 Mr. & Mrs. Turner (Mr. Turner died and she married Mr Williams shortly after his arrival to the area.) August 1844 Mr. Williams arrived from shot tower [sic] Spring 1846 Arrived several early settlers from Richland Co., OH [The unnamed editor of the Weekly Home News being one of them], settling in and near Harrisburg on Honey Creek. Already present were John Wilson, Thomas Williams and Thomas and James Watson who were both unmarried. In Bear Creek lived two families, William and Robert McCloud. May-July 1846 Arrived Thomas Wells and Dewit Slaughter, both from IN. Spring 1847 Arrived Dan Held, John Specher and Nick Danutzer, both German, settled on the north side of Honey Creek. Others followed and soon there was a large German settlement. Summer 1847 Evan Jones moved back from Dodgeville, living in Honey Creek before and had already established land. Shortly his son Thomas moved over and opened the first store on this side of the river, on the bank of the Wisconsin River known as High Bank. 1847-1854 Arrived the following, all from either Bloomfield or Troy Twp., Richland Co., OH John Rulan, Oliver Ward, Henry Balflech, Stephen Miller, Henry Clayman, John Feller, Andrew Bear, Nathaniel Matchell, brothers William, Pearson and John Young, John Bear, Samuel Davis, brothers Elijah, George and William Bonham, Samuel Walsten, Arthur Dickinson, Henry Bear, brothers George, Jerry, Adam and Soloman Cramer, George Morgan, Henry Dickerson, brothers Daniel, Jerry, Jason, Tim, Isaac and John Carpenter, Thomas Dickerson, George and Abram Nickey, Joseph Seiders, Simon Spyken, Jacob and William Keifer. Arriving from a county [unnamed] adjoining Richland Co., OH were J.W. Hows, Jacob Rainey, D.B. Young and Smith Love. Fall 1848 the Log School House on Section 7 was built, Andrew Bear being the principal builder. Tom Daley's house was nearby. Andrew Bear taught the first classes then Mina Cass and after her was Tom Watson. Bear Creek, Spring Green and Honey Creek were already named by 1846 but Franklin and Troy were named later. Henry Keifer proposed the name of Bloomfield or Troy for the new settlement in honor of so many settlers from these townships in Richland Co., OH. The name Troy was chosen. Cassell Prairie was not established until shortly after 1846. First residents were Dr. Cassell, Messrs, Ansdell, Caldwell, Regan, O. Thomas, Alexander Stewart and others. First minister was Mr. Fullerton coming from Helena shot tower [sic] through Spring Green Prairie. The next was Mr. Bunce. --------------- I have located on the Richland Co.,OH USGenWeb website several marriages which took place in Richland Co. of the families mentioned in the extract above. Some were listed with small spelling variations of the surname, (which I have where known for certain, corrected for clarity). If these are the very same people I can't say for sure, as I have not researched them all, but the likelihood is fairly great. James Sharrock m Elizabeth Dickerson 10-1834 George G. Nickey m Mary Fifer 3-1841 Joseph Robison m Rachel Dickerson 4-1841 (actual date 4-20-1841) Pearson Young m Julia Cramer 2-1844 Anna Feller m Henry Bear 5-1844 Henry Clayman m Hannah Robinson 12-1844 (Hannah shown in 1840 census in Troy Twp.) James Robison m Elizabeth Dickerson 6-1847 John Bear m Abigail Young 8-1847 William Young m Margaret J. Dunlap 1-1849 William Young m Elizabeth Homes 5-1849 Wm. Bonham m Elizabeth Hedly 8-1852 John Young m Amanda L. Day 1-1852 Arthur Dickison m Charlotte Bonham 12-1852 Additional Notes: In Wisconsin the Bear Creek, Spring Green and Honey Creek's boundaries changed and a large portion of these townships became Franklin Twp., Sauk Co., WI. The town of White Mound in Franklin Twp. vanished many years ago. When thriving it was large enough to have a general store, cheese factory, church, blacksmith shop, post office, saloon and dance hall. Today all that can be found of White Mound is the small cemetery and a park bearing the name of White Mound. The Joseph Robison-Rachel Dickerson 1847 marriage is confirmed through my research. I am currently researching the marriage of James Robison (brother of Joseph) and his 1847 marriage to Elizabeth Dickerson. Elizabeth Dickerson in 1834 1st married James Sharrock in Richland Co., OH and were the parents of one known daughter Lucinda Sharrock. Elizabeth 2nd married James Robison in Jun 1847 in Richland Co., OH. Rachel Dickerson is the confirmed daughter of Asa Dickerson and Margaret Logan (dau of Thomas and Margaret Logan), all of Bloomfield and Sandusky Twp., in Richland Co. I believe Elizabeth Dickerson (aka Mrs. James Sharrock) who married James Robison is likely the daughter of Asa and Margaret and a elder sister of Rachel, though not yet fully confirmed, the likelihood is very great. If I'm correct, the Robison brothers married the Dickerson sisters. While NOT mentioned in the article, I do know James Robison/Robinson and his brother Joseph with their respective families, removed from Sandusky Twp., Richland Co., OH to White Mound, Sauk Co., WI. in between the fall of 1854 and the spring of 1855. They located quite near Thomas and Henry Dickerson (Twp 10N which is the White Mound area in Franklin Twp.). Joshua Dickerson (brother to Rachel Robison and son of Asa Dickerson and Margaret Logan) and his wife Nancy Filloon (married Apr 17, 1851 in Richland Co., OH), removed from Sandusky Twp., Richland Co., OH to White Mound in Franklin Twp., Sauk Co., WI between 1859-1863. Dewitt Slaughter who is mentioned in this article as arriving from IN in 1864 with Thomas Wells was the husband of Malinda Wells (daughter of Thomas and Mary Wells who arrived at the same time from IN). Dewitt and Malinda were married Sep 15, 1844 in Lake Co., IN. and were the parents of 2 known children (John C. & Mary E.). Malinda became the 2nd wife of James Robison (his 1st wife Elizabeth Dickerson died Jan 23, 1861 in Sauk Co., WI). Malinda and James were married in Franklin, Sauk Co., WI Feb 1863 and were the parents of one child, Alice Ann Robison. I of course am willing to 'share and compare' my research with others, but have no additional information of the families listed in the article except those relating to the Dickerson, Filloon, Logan, Robison, Slaughter and Wells families.
