Hi Eliz - I see a Peter Howe listed as a charter member of the American Union, Chapter R.A.M., No. 1. And I find this biographical item in the Muskingum township section under the heading Settlement in Wiseman's Bottom: Squier Prouty and his wife, Diantha Howe, emigrated to Ohio shortly after the first settlement was made at Marietta. They were natives of Vermont. Mr. Prouty being a blacksmith located about a quarter of a mile south of Devol's dam, and after building a shop, worked at his trade whenever there was an opportunity. Mr. and Mrs. Prouty had two daughters - Rachel and Louisa, both of whom are deceased. Squire Prouty moved away years ago, and the name is without representation in the township. Peter Howe and his wife, Orin Fuller, were from Vermont, and were among the first settlers on the Muskingum. They reared a large family, the only representative of which is Orinda, the wife of Rice Loring, of Belpre. There were 14 children in all. The Howe's lived about a mile south of John Russell's pla ce. Mr. Howe afterwards removed to the vicinity of New England, this State. I do not know whether the Howe farm referred to in the Ellenwood information is this farm but perhaps this information will help you determine if it is. There are a number of Buchanan's listed in the index. I'll look up specific names if you like. Lucy In a message dated 8/31/03 5:45:30 PM, ElizHgene@aol.com writes: << Was that Peter Howe?

Here's the introduction to the list of enlisting soldiers on which I found privates for both of you. "Among the many military organizations of Washington County for home defense, none was more patriotic or self-sacrificing than the one we have now to consider. The Silver Grays were among the very first to step forward and form in martial array at the beginning, and their moral influence in the community was great. Their appearance on parade, marching and going through the manual of arms was inspiring, and if a man had any of the martial spirit in him, the sight of these venerable men keeping step to the music of the Union was sure to arouse it. Two of the members, William Warren and Junia Jennings, prepared the following account of the company in 1866, and we give it substantially as we find it: "Monday forenoon, April 22, 1861, was the time of the departure of the first company of volunteers from Marietta to aid in putting down the rebellion, the Union Blues, - over 100 men - under command of Captain Frank Buell. It was an effecting occasion, such as was never known before in Washington county, and may never be again. Strong men's nerves gave way, and the patriotic tear and firm resolve were seen on every face. There was a brief speech by George P. Buell, esq., and amid cheers, the firing of the cannon, and the waving of flags, the volunteers embarked upon the Muskingum packet from the common in front of the Congregational church, thousands of people being assembled. The citizens then repaired to the court house and organized a meeting to take into account the state of public affairs. Hon. William A. Whittlesey, the mayor of Marietta, being called to the chair, secretaries and committees were appointed. Colonel William West, then in his 66th year, arose and said, "Mr. Chairman, I hold in my hand a resolution I wish to offer for the consideration of this meeting. Such is the excitement of this occasion that I am not in the situation to either do justice to myself or the subject I wish to present, therefore, without comment, with the indulgence of the house, I will submit the resolution." Silence reigned throughout the crowded house, and the colonel, with a voice tremulous with the deep feeling that pervaded all present, read: "Resolved, That we, the citizens of Washington county, whose ages are 60 years and upwards, for the protection of our homes, our firesides and our country's liberties, form ourselves into a military organization, to be called and known as the Silver Grays, of Washington county." A hundred earnest voices seconded the motion for its adoption, and it was carried with an unanimous shout, and cheers for the Silver Grays. A rush was made to be the first to enroll their names. James Dutton, being a little lame, had started first and had his name first down, followed by William Warren, second, Colonel West, third; Thomas Porter, fourth; Junia Jennings, fifth; and so on. Subsequently, men of 45 years and upwards were enrolled. Through the exiting days of 1862, especially when the rebels pressed upon the border everywhere throughout the whole line, in August and September, the Silver Grays were out in full force and vigor. In the spring of 1863 their guns were taken by authority for use by a company of younger men, and that ended the Silver Grays, who it is justice to say, did all the duties they were called upon to perform, and did them well. That they would have done excellent duty in repelling invasion, had it ever occurred, there is no doubt. Several of the members were deaf, and these were compelled to watch their comrades motions to know what order the captain gave. Several used canes. Their motto as set forth in their constitution was: "The Union, the constitution, and the flag of our country, for the sustaining of which we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."""

>From the section on Dunham township in the History of Washington county 1) a short reference to Sylvester Ellenwood 2) a longer section about the Ellenwood family 1) In the summer of 1803, Jonathan Dunham undertook to follow the range line from Turkey Hen creek to Belpre. He followed the line until he came to a point near the farm no owned by Sylvester Ellenwood, where he lost his bearing and had no other means of finding his way out than by following the creek down.... (The section continues describing how this lead to the founding of Dunham township with no further reference to the Ellenwood name.) 2) Benjamin Ellenwood, a native of Maine, emigrated with his three sons - Benjamin, Daniel, and Samuel - from Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1811, and settled on school section 16. Samuel Ellenwood was a pushing farmer and a highly esteemed man in the [Dunham] settlement. He purchased the first wagon used on the east branch of the Little Hocking. He died June 25, 1857, in his 77nd year. His wife died in 1862 in her 76th year. Their children were: Sylvester D., Samuel S., Milton, Harvey B., Benjamin, and Cynthia, who still reside in Dunham township, and Augustus and Corinda (Chevalier) who reside in Iowa. Sylvester Ellenwood married Lucy A., daughter of Amos Dunham. She died December 3, 1862. The maiden name of his second and present wife was Mary Chevalier. These two marriages were blessed with eight sons and one daughter, four of who are living - Horace D., Orville O., Lowell W., and Cynthia A. - the two oldest and youngest. Sylvester Ellenwood owns a fine farm in the north part of the township on Little Hocking. The first improvement was made on this farm by Frances Dilly. Milton Ellenwood, a son of Benjamin Ellenwood, jr., was born January 7, 1817. September 23, 1840, he married Sophronia Needham, a daughter of Jasper Needham, who, with his brother, Stephen, settled in the township in 1816. The family of Milton Ellenwood and wife consisted of two sons and five daughters, three of whom reside in Dunham township - Rowena R., Oscar N., and Ida E.; Flora B. (Gard) resides in Barlow township; Milton E., in Clay county, Kansas, Parmelia S. (Starkweather), in Hamilton, Illinois, Delia L. Lewis. in Iowa. Flora B. is referenced in the biographical study of Hiram Gard: Heil Abner, third and youngest son [of Hiram], born November 13, 1879, is a young farmer, a man of good judgment, and prides himself on raising good stock and having everything near around him, and carries on the home farm at Vincent. Three sons, together with the daughters whose names will follow, were all born at Palmer, Washington county, Ohio. Harvey B. Ellenwood, a son of Samuel Ellenwood, was born August 7, 1822. He married May 1, 1856, Elizabeth A. Paulley, who was born September 11, 1823. The fruit of this marriage were three children, two of whom - Kemper D. and Ella L. - reside in Dunham township. Samuel E. is dead. Amos Paulley, father of Mrs. Ellenwood, came to Belpre in 1818, and died there in 1825. >From the section on the Civil War (Dunham township): Ellenwood, Dudley H., aged 21, volunteer, October 23, 1861. 77th regiment, company D, discharged June 18, 1862, for disability. >From the Belpre township section: Daniel Ellenwood, of Massachusetts, came to Belpre in 1795, and settled just below the Howe farm in the upper settlement. He had three son and three daughters, none of who are living in the township. And in the same township under Organization of churches: a S. Ellenwood and a B. Ellenwood are listed as subscribers for the building of the Methodist church. >From the section: The Bench and Bar of Washington County Lowell W. Ellenwood was born in Washington county, Ohio, August 7, 1855. He studied law with Messrs. Chamberlain & Hamilton, of Marietta, and in 1879, graduated at the law school of Cincinnati, and was admitted to the bar. In 1880, he located at Marietta, where he now resides, and engaged in the practice of his profession. >From the section on the Civil War: J. G. Ellenwood is listed as a private under the command of Captain Loring and Lt. James King. Lucy

No lstings for Gooseman or Goosman in the History of Washington County, Ohio, by Williams. Sorry. Lucy

Carolyn - While I found quite a history on Samuel Sprague, I find few references to Delong. Here's a bit about the Spragues in the Adams Township section: "The Sprague family, in Washington County, is descended from an old English family of that name. Joshua Sprague, second, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1729. He married twice, first to Amy Darling, second to Abigail Wilber, from whom the Spragues of Adams township are descended. The family were living in Nova Scotia at the opening of the Revolution, but at that time removed to Massachusetts. Joshua served during the war as a major. He lost all his property during the war. In 1788, accompanied by his two sons, Jonathan and William, he came to Simrell's ferry with a horse and two wheeled vehicle. They came by water to Marietta, arriving in June. Mr. Sprague and sons took the contract of building one of the block-houses, for which they received one hundred dollars. They joined the second association in the spring of 1789, and were at Waterford during the Indian War. In the spring of 1784, the remaining members of the family were removed to Waterford. Joshua lived in Waterford until 1812, when he removed to Adams township where he died in 1816. Abigail, his wife, died at the same place, December 10, 1825, in her 95th year. Joshua's descendants at the time of his death numbered 163. The sons of Joshua numbered 9 and the daughters 4. Of these, William settled and died in Adams township; James in Muskingum county; Samuel on Meigs creek; Wilber in Jackson county; Frederick in Columbus; Nehemieh in Adams township; and Jonathan, the head of the Spragues, now living in Adams, settled on the bottom opposite Coal Run, in 1803, and built the stone house now occupied by his son, Elijah. He also built a mill which is still standing; it was known as the Island mill. He also had a distillery. His sons were Wayne, who lived on the old Lord farm, and died in 1848; Jonathan is still living in the valley, near the homestead; Joshua died in 1828, on a farm near the mill; Elijah occupies the old house; Seaman lives in the west; and Benjamin lived in Waterford. The family has always been highly respectable as well as numerous." Here are a couple of references to Delongs though neither mention any relationship to the Sprague family. The 2nd, from the section on Aurelius township, contains the only reference to Hannah Delong. "At Waterford, there had been no hostilities for so long a period that the settlers, whose number had been increased by the arrival of a number of families and single men, resolved this spring - 1794 - to send out a colony. A block-house was accordingly erected at the confluence of Olive Green creek and the Muskingum, four miles above Waterford; several ordinary cabins were clustered around it, and all were enclosed in a stockade. The settlers here were Able Sherman and wife, their son Ezra and his wife, and town unmarried sons of the firmer, but grown men; Ezekiel Hoit, wife and children; Aaron Delong, wife, son, and two daughters; Matthew wife, and children; and George Ewing, wife and children." "I.H. Delong, sr., was born in the last century, in 1790. While in Aurelius he was justice of the peace for 21 years, and was a volunteer in the war of 1812 being prevented from serving by the sudden close of the war. He married a Miss Hill, and she dying, his second wife was Nelsie Lancaster, who also died in 1864. His children were: Matilda, dead; Eliza, in Indiana; Jonathan, in West Virginia; William, in Aurelius; and Margaret. These were children of his first wife. By his second wife were: David, dead; Thomas J., In Nebraska; I.H., in Macksburgh; Nancy, in Iowa; Martha, In Kansas; Mary Jane, in Illinois; Juliette, and Hannah, also in Illinois; and David, who died unmarried." Hope this is informative. Lucy

This is from the Jan 1 1919 Noble County Leader: Mrs. Lottie WHEELER, daughter of Henry and Dorcas LAMLEY, was born in Noble county, Ohio, April 23, 1844, and departed this life at 1:30 Friday, December 20, 1918, being seventy-four years, seven months and twenty-seven days of age. On March 8, 1866, she was united in marriage with Enos WHEELER. Two children blessed this union, Amos D. WHEELER and Hattie I. SPENCER, both of this city. She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, son and daughter, nine grandchildren and a host of friends and relatives. At an early age she gave her life into the hands of her Master, and had ever lived an active and devoted christian life. Her greatest pleasure was in doing something to further the work of her Heavenly Father. She was an ardent worker in the W.R.C. and W.C.T.U., as long as her health permitted. To know her was to lover her. Her daily life was an influence for good to all who came in contact with her. She made Epworth M.E. church her church home, and was a consistent worker till she answered her Master's call. Her faith and trust in her Master never wavered even though her suffering was great. She told loved ones at her bedside, that "all was well" and she was "waiting and ready for her invitation home". ---- A Friend. If you would like a photocopy of an article, please contact me.

Hello, I had family in Washington County starting in the early 1800,s and for four generations thereafter. I would very much appriciate the willing looking in their materials for information on the Gooseman or Goosman name. Given names, John b 1812 and wife Rachel Brown Thomas b 1838 and wife Phebe Barrett Aaron b 1866 and wife Elizabeth Emery Edgar b 1901 and wife Clarice Poliskey buried in Beach Bottom WV. Also if anyone can give me information on the Gooseman cemetary in Washington County, I would appriciate it. I would like to come to Ohio and visit sometime and would like to know where it is at. My father visited it in the early 1950's and has given me some pictures of it and the Antioch Church in the same area.
