Here are more GILLILAND references found in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 664 in the history of Summit Township: "Joseph Garwood moved from Fayette County to the northwestern part of the township as early as 1797. He purchased land from a Mr. McDonald 400 acres of land there for a barrel of flour and a watch. Mr. Garwood subsequently removed to Illinois, but a son, Joseph, still dwells in Summit at the age of seventy-nine years. Matthew, John and Thomas McClure, three Irish brothers, settled early in the northern part. Hugh GILLILAND and his sons, Hugh and Robert were well-known pioneers of the northwest part. All the above settlers had secured homes in this western land of promise prior to 1810. When the war of 1812 approached, rumors of Indian descents pervaded this as well as other settlements throughout the county. Once the scattering settlers in the northwestern part of the township gathered at the cabin of Joseph Garwood under the report of an imminent attack, and remained till two of their number who had been dispatched to Erie for information returned and dispelled their fears." On page 820, in the Biographical Sketch section for Conneaut Township: "Moses Allen, farmer and miller, PO Linesville, was born in South Shenango Township, this county, July 25, 1813, son of Steven and Jane (GILLILAND) Allen, former a native of Washington County, latter of Fayette County, Penn., parents of nine children, five now living. One son, Lifflet, was killed by the cars in Linesville, this county, in 1883. They were members of the Presbyterian Church. Steven Allen came to Crawford County when a small boy, in 1795, with his father, who had been a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He was a soldier in the war of 1812; died in 1874, his widow in 1876. Our subject, who is eldest in the family, is a miller, an occupation he has worked at the better part of his life, in connection with farming. He was twice married, on first occasion to Mary, daughter of Samuel and Hannah Burwell. By this union were born nine children, eight now living: Mary J., wife of David Patent; Steven; Sarah O., wife of George Allen; Hugh; Winfield L.; Gaylord; Webster S.; Fred; and Byron. Steen was a soldier during the war of the Rebellion, in the One Hundred and Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and was in many engagements; was wounded in a steam saw-mill in 1866. Mrs. Allen died in 1860, and our subject then married in 1864, Mrs. Lucinda C. Kendall, widow of Charles Kendall, and daughter of Levi Gaylord, of Geneva, Ohio, of which place she is a native. She had three children by her first married, two now living: William V. and Levi G. Charles Kendall was a soldier in the war of the Rebellion, and died from the effects of disease contracted in 1861. To Mr. and Mrs. Allen have been born three children: Morton, Steve and Edgar. Our subject is a member of the Old School Presbyterian Church; is owner of fifty acres of well-improved land, with a fine residence erected thereon in 1880, where he and his wife are now leading a retired life." On page 825 of the same section: "Mrs. Nancy W. GILLILAND, PO Linesville, was born in Warren, Penn., September 15, 1821, daughter of Thomas T. and Margaret Page, who were born and brought up in Philadelphia, parents of ten children. They were good, Christian people, members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Page, who had been a farmer all his days, died in 1849, his widow in 1853. Our subject, who is fifth in the family, was married in September, 1847 to Samuel GILLILAND, a native of Conneaut Township, son of Samuel GILLILAND, Sr., one of the very early settlers and farmers of Conneaut Township, the father of a large family. Samuel GILLILAND, Jr., died in March, 1865, leaving his widow, our subject, over 140 acres of excellent land, most of which he and his sons cleared. He carried on a lumber business at one time in Warren County, Penn., in which he earned the money that bought his farm. Mrs. GILLILAND is the mother of three children: William P., married and has a family; Frank L., also married and has a family; and Samuel D., who is single and lives with his mother, managing the old homestead which they still hold. Our subject managed to keep her children together after her husband's death, and raised them in a manner reflecting the highest credit on her. She and two eldest sons are members of the Disciple Church." More GILLILAND info to follow! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net

To Rob (rwalton@worldnet.att.net) and other Gilliland researchers. There are several references to GILLILAND in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." I will transcribe them here and in the next couple of posts. On page 592, in the section on the history of Pine Township: "Among the earliest settlers of the village were: William Burnside and Jesse GILLILAND, blacksmiths; Moses Lord and William Russell, shoe-makers; Joseph Allen, carpenter; Samuel Shattuck, cooper; Horatio N. Mead, the first tavern-keeper; Smith Line, son of the proprietor, kept the first store, started about 1839; C.S. Stratton built the first tannery about 1837. It is still in operation, owned by Thomas Limber." On pages 659 and 660, in the history of Summerhill Township: "Besides the above, the following, with their families, were among the earliest settlers: Neal McKay, John McTier, Thomas Proctor, Robert McCoy, James McMillan, Daniel McMillan, Joseph McNamara, Samuel Gowdy, James Christy, Jacob Lefevre, James Scott, John Fulwiler, Benjamin Bearfield, John Dearborn, Robert Nelson and Peter and Jacob Gevin. Neal McKay was a weaver by occupation and an early Justice of the Peace in the township. His son, Robert, was a Captain of militia in 1812, and served at Erie during the building of Perry's fleet. John McTier was a stone mason by trade, and when hewed-log-houses superseded round-log-cabins, his services in building stone chimneys made him a valuable citizen to the community. He was killed in the spring of 1826 while riding, during a terrific wind storm, by a large oak tree, which fell upon him. James, William and John Proctor, sons of Robert, were well known pioneers. Robert McCoy immigrated prior to 1798; his cabin stood about a half mile east of Conneautville, and his death occurred about 1800. His was the first burial in the McDowell Cemetery. The McMillans located in the northeastern part of the township. Daniel was killed, while cutting a tree for raccoons, by the fall of a limb. Josiah McNamara built the first tannery of the township in 1800. A few years later he removed to Mead Township. Samuel Gowdy came a single man to the southwest corner of what is now the township, where he patented a tract. Soon after he married Betsy GILLILAND. He was quite an accession to the early settlements, for he manufactured the wooden plows then in use. Mr. Gowdy was Colonel of militia in 1812, and commanded his regiment at Erie during the construction of Perry's fleet. He died on the farm he settled. James Christy settled about a mile southeast from Conneautville, and remained there through life. Jacob Lefevre was born farmer and tanner, residing near Conneautville. John Fulwiler dwelt also in that vicinity; his cabin stood on what is now the Conneautville Fair Ground. Benjamin Bearfield was a distiller by trade. He lived about a mile northeast from Dicksonburg, and afterward moved West. John Dearborn located on the F. Johnston tract in the east part of the township, where he died and where his descendants still live. Robert Nelson was an early settler near Conneautville. Peter and Jacob Gevin were brothers; the former lived near the center of the township." More to follow! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net

To Rob rwalton@worldnet.att.net and other Walton researchers. Here is the last of the data I found on the WALTON name in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On pages 1062 and 1063 in the Biographical Sketch section for Summerhill Township: "M.D. Shaw, farmer and stock-raiser, PO Centre Road Station, was born in Dutchess County, NY, May 6, 1811; son of Moses and Lucy A. (Cross) Shaw, also natives of Dutchess County. They were members of the Baptist Church; parents of eleven children, five of whom are now living. Moses Shaw, who was a farmer, died in 1856, and his widow in 1864. Our subject, who is the fifth child in the family, was married in 1832 to Julia A. Miller, a native of Orange County, NY. He came to Crawford County same year and settled on sixty-eight acres of woodland in Summerhill Township in 1836, which he cleared up as well as several other farms in the vicinity. To Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were born eleven children, ten now living, viz.: Lucy J., wife of Levi WALTON; Moses M.; Mary C., wife of Chester WALTON; William M.; Harriet M., wife of Andrew WALTON; Filena, wife of Seth S. Dorchester; Louisa, wife of Simon Nichols; Rachel A., wife of George Stevens; Carrie M., wife of S. Miller; and John C. The families all reside within a few miles of their parents. Their son, Thomas Johnson, was a soldier during the war of the Rebellion, in the One Hundred and Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and died of disease contracted in the service, April 4, 1862. Our subject, wife and children are members of the Evangelical Church, which is situated on one corner of his land. Mr. Shaw donated the ground and was mainly instrumental in building the church. He is the owner of 160 acres of well-improved land, and is making a specialty of raising a pure breed of Holstein cattle; he has given much land to his children. Our subject has held several township offices; in politics is a Republican. This worthy old pioneer has about forty grandchildren and five great-grandchildren." In "Meadville...It's Past and Present, Sesqui-Centennial Edition of The Tribune Republican 1788-1938" I found the following WALTON reference in Section E, page 22: "Mrs. Edwin A. WALTON (Frances F. Colter) for twenty years secretary and treasurer of the Meadville chapter, American Red Cross, and prominent in club and civic work, was born in Pittsburgh. She is the daughter of James P. Colter and Mary Archbold Colter. "She was graduated from Meadville High School and was a member of the class of 1902 at Allegheny College. "She married Edwin A. WALTON, son of Mr. and Mrs. John U. WALTON of Cleveland, in 1901. There are two children, Mary Archbold (Mrs. Mason Brown) and John U. WALTON, II. "Mrs. WALTON has served as secretary-treasurer of the Meadville Woman's Club 1924-1929; president of the Woman's Literary Club 1930- 1932; is president of the Meadville Art Association and the Garden Club. "She is a member of the Independent Congregational Church (Unitarian) and Kappa Kappa Gamma." Hope this helps! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net

To Rob, rwalton@worldnet.att.net and other Walton researchers. >Any mention of Walton or Gilliland in the book? Yes, there are several references to those surnames, I will transcribe them here and in the next few messages! On page 662, in the section of the history of Summerhill Township: "Close to the western line of Summerhill, in the western part of Tract 713, is an Evangelical Association Church, erected in 1871 at a cost of $1,800. The class was organized with twenty-five members by Rev. James Crossman, the first pastor, in 1863. Meetings were held in a schoolhouse situated in the eastern part of Conneaut Township, until the erection of the present church edifice. Among the first members were: Minor WALTON, Balser Gehr, Mrs. Lawrence, E. Stevens and Nathan Stevens. The membership is now about forty and Rev. Vogt is the Pastor. The class constitutes a part of Crawford Circuit." On page 767, in the Biographical Sketch section for Meadville: "Arnold Russell, engineer, Meadville, is an old and well-tried railroad man, having served the New York,Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad for twenty-one years, and during all that time has never been called to the Superintendent's office for any misdemeanor or for any accident. He was born at Honesdale, Wayne Co., Penn., October 23, 1845, and is a son of Gaylord and Esther (WALTON) Russell, of German and Irish descent. His father, who was a farmer, raised a family of six children, of whom Arnold is the fourth. Our subject received his education in his native county; in his eighteenth year he went on the railroad as fireman, and was running an engine before he reached his majority. For several years he ran a construction train on which he was both engineer and conductor. Since 1865 he has been first-class engineer on passenger trains. He is always prompt and ready for duty, and in twenty-one years has never missed a pay-day. He was married in 1866 to Miss Nancy, daughter of William Adams, a native of this county and of English descent. Their children are: Lizzie, Mabel, William Henry and Robert Stanley. Mrs. Russell is a member of the Park Avenue Congregational Church. In politics he is Independent. During the war he enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment, but it was not called into active service.

He is a member of Knights of Pythias, the A.O.U.W., and of the American Legion of Honor." On pages 838 and 839 in the Bio Sketch section for Conneaut Township: "Mrs. Sarah Stevens, PO Centre Road Station, was born in Mercer County, Penn., March 5, 1833, daughter of Abraham and Catharine (Carringer) Kazebee, former a nataive of New York, latter of Pittsburgh, Penn. Abraham Kazebee was a shoe-maker by trade, at which he worked until his marriage, when he commenced farming. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, parents of six children, of whom our subject is the youngest. She was married September 8, 1859, to George L. Stevens, a native of Conneaut Township, this county, and a son of Nathen Stevens, one of the old pioneers of this section. He sent four sons to the Union Army during the war of the Rebellion, two of whom returned home; the other two were killed. George L. Stevens enlisted in 1861 in Capt. Mason's Company, One Hundred and Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving in the Second Corps under Gen. Hancock. He passed through all the hardships and battles of that glorious regiment, and was killed while on picket duty at Cold Harbor, June 4, 1864. He was a good soldier, and laid his life down that the Union might live. His brother, Thomas B., was a member of the Second Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was killed early in 1864. Mrs. Stevens had two sons: John R., married to Miss Ella WALTON, May 26, 1880 (she is a native of Conneaut Township, and daughter of Levi WALTON); and Manual G., born September 25, 1861, and died November 8, 1861.

Tom is not a person that toots his own horn. I personally would like to thank him for arranging the reprint of the directory. I learned so much from it. Now hopefully the Historical Society will consider a reprint of the 1885 History. PLEASE!!!

Would someone in Crawford Co. be willing to do a newspaper obit lookup of March, 1904 for me? Please contact me for date and name. I am in W. Pa, and the trip is prohibitive. Maybe I could trade for something in Philadelphia? M.Bolster

Kathy Brubaker, you have been sent to us from heaven! How wonderful of you to send out so much information. I don't want to get greedy, but what can you find on these families, please- Arneman/Arnaman Siverling (I've already seen the piece on Chris. with the Peiffer info) Blystone Skelton William Mitchell (then son, Sylvester) I've been eating up the Peiffer, Straw and Sherred info. These families are all connected in so many ways! Kathy Cook Rochester, MN cook_kb@compuserve.com

I would love to own a copy of the History. I hope the Crawford Co. Genealogical Society will consider a reprint of it. Since I cannot attend meetings because of distance, I hope that some local members will bring this up at the next meeting. I know of at least four of you are on this list. PLEASE. I have really enjoyed the reprint of the Directory. Sandy Schroeder slschroe@intrepid.net

PACRAWFORD-L - Black Salt is crude potassium carbonate (Potash) used in making hard glass and soft soap. The pioneers cleared the land, burned the trees and retrieved the potash which was frequently their only source of cash. -- Tom Deagan, Pensacola, FL http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/1110/ http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~gdeagan/index.htm

Kathy Brubaker offered the following; What is BLACK salt? On page 1005, in the Biographical Sketch section for Sparta Township: "Hiram F. FULLER, farmer, PO Spartansburg, was born in Elk Creek Township, Erie Co., Penn., April 21, 1824, son of Abiezer and Sarah (Lyons) Fuller, ............................ .............................................................. and their only way of obtaining money was by making and selling black salt. Read and love every one of her references. So far I haven't made any connections, but no matter, I still enjoy looking for the clues. What a wonderful service to us. Thank you!!!!!
