DESTRUCTIVE FIRE Maple Creek, December 12th FELLOW CITIZENS - On Thursday morning, the 11th of December, 1851, the Steam and Water power Flouring Mill of Mr. Solomon Cooper, with 3 run of Burrs, Hot Bolt, and Cast Gearing Smut Machine, Corn Cracker and Bran Sweeper, and in fact, every other convenience for accomodation, besides 5000 bushels of wheat, a quantity of oats, buckwheat, millwright tools, flour, barrels, and many bags, fell a sacrifice to the devouring flames - AND NO INSURANCE! The fire was first discovered between 5 and 6:00 in the morn, in the upper story, near the opposite corner from the engine, and was small when discovered, but the utmost exertions of Mr. Cooper, Mr. McGowen, millers, 2 millwrights, and the agent of the bran sweeper, failed to arrest it. The mill was shut down about 9:00 the evening previous - the fire was no doubt the work of an incendiary. Mr. Cooper's loss is $7000, for which he labored hard for many years, that of the individual neighbors about $4000! Mr. Cooper had been to some extent in debt, and has an industrious wife and 5 children, and has only a house and garden and small lot for his mill. His eldest son, 9 years old, about 2 months past, had his hand almost torn off by the corn grinder, but by the surgical skill of Dr. Biddle, it was saved, except the whole of the thumb, which was amputated. Mr. Cooper has been honest and upright in his dealings, and is an obliging neighbor. Now, Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens, we set before you the condition of this unfortunate family, and earnestly and most cordially solicit your aid and benevolence in their behalf. It is desirable to raise by contribution sufficient to enable him to rebuild. We, his neighbors and acquaintences, do hereby certify that the above statement is just and true in all its berings to the best of our knowledge and belief. Given under our hands the 12th day of December, 1851. John Boyle S. Redd P. Hendrickson John Redd D. McCracken D. Shannon T. G. Carson Henry Orwen John Conrad James Jones Geo. Winnet John B.

1790 - John Young was right next to Rich. Jackman and Jn. Dunkin, near Wm. Jackman, Morgan Young - one door away, a few Crow's not far away, Thom. Carson JR (II), with James Carson right next door, James Carrol a few doors away, Wm. Whinnett is on the other side of same pg., not far away. 1800 - is the alphabetical one for Wash. Co., not much help except to show how many Youngs were here. 1810, pg. 1 shows a few, then Wm. Parkinson, a few then David Fry, then Wm. Niblick, James and Wm. Thompson, James Blythe, with Thomas Carson next door, Wm. Witherow, Patrick Farquahar, a few more .... then pg. 2 - John Young is still here and he is next to David Fry, and Corn. Young is not far away, Abraham Young is not far away (next pg.) and is among the Stacher's, Kerr's, Carrol's, Hercules Duncan next door to Dan. Young among them, 2 Wm. & Jon. Winnett's, next pg. is Thomas and Wm. Carson, another Kerr, Valentine Cooper, Jn. Fry, Sam. West, Vincent and Jn. Colvin, Philip Grabbs (Grable), Henry and James Young, 2 Sam. Fry's, Fred. and Abraham Cooper, Abraham Fry, Wm., Ed., Hugh, Crawfords, another Kerr, James Rodgers, Ed. Crawford, Geo. Platter, Hannah Powers, Philem Boyles (farthest NE corner of Fallowfield twp.), pg. 5 shows John Grable, Johnston Fry, Benj. and James Fry, Depue's, Gasper Devore, James and Benj. Hall among others, lots of Grant's, (this appears to be in the Horseshoe area of later Carroll twp., then over into the Redd's Mill area*) Castner's, Thomas Haslip, John Cooper, Wm. Gibson, .... James Mitchell, Jn., 2 Daniel's Vanvorris, *James Hair, Robt. Kerr, Jn. Jackson, Henry Boyles, Geo. and Isaac Young, .... Adam Cheseround, Geo. Niblick, Peter Cheseround, Jacob Grable, Levi Philips, Sam. DeGarmo .... before it goes into Pike Run. This is the last time that John Young shows up on Fed. Census. Apparently sometime after this he moved on into the Ohio's. He had the property next to Thomas Carson II, patented to him in same year (1805) per the old draft land owner's map (1923-24, 1936) So, maybe it was this land that James settled on, right next to Thomas Carson (II), instead of Silas's --- does it seem curious that both of these families had family members right next door to Carson's? 1820 - is when Evan, Geo., Geo., Henry, Isaac, Jacob, James, and Wm. Young are noted in Fallowfield. (This is still prior to the est. of Carroll Twp.) Pg. 1 of 5 shows: Geo. Crow, Parker Scott, Isaac/Sam./Abraham Fry, Alex and Jon. Scott, Jac Houseman, Jos. Budd, Thos. Carson, Jos. Bony, Mrs. Budd, Willy Wallace, Jos. McCracken, Levi Philips, Henry Shepler, Peter Bellace?, Alex. and Jon.

Gaston, James FREEMAN, James Anderson, James Beeler, John Dables?, (and appears to be going out the Coyle Curtain road area per the remaining names - could this be the Horseshoe Bottom settlement area at the end?) We need more info about what roads existed early on. So far, I have the Maple Crk. road re-done in 1905 as state hwy. I think we had something else found - in the archives. And the road that led from Speers Ferry was a very, very old "road", that led to Canonsburg according to other info I've found. Of course, there was the Old River Road, followed the bank of the Mon River, then cut up over the hill to Mon. City eventually, with an old road going up to Fry's, and this was located on 5th and also up the ravine area (old coal mine) between Lock 4 and where Charleroi originated. As well as the old Pittsburgh-Brownsville Road (part of the Old Grange Rd. that led south past the Old West Church) that I've recently established the old route over through Hazel Kirk and to the old Valley Inn (Baidland PO). By 1830, there is only Eliz., Henry and Geo. Young still in Fallowfield twp. Elizabeth is right next to Thom. Carson (II ???) If so, then this is the land that John had perviously? Geo. Young is next to Robt. Smith and Rebecca and John Hare (Hair), and Lott Colvin, Federick Cooper, Stacher's, Thomas Chester .... Solomon Redd, .... Martin Sphar, Joseph/Andrew Dunlavy, Apollos Sphar, Nath. Niblick, Jn. Sphar, .... 2 Henry Spears .... Henry Young is right next to Robt. MacFarland, and out near Peter & Geo.

Co., Chicago, 1926 pg. 3_370, 3_571 - Weller-Boyle-Forrest-McConnell Mrs. Mary Belle Forrest has the distinction of descent from both of these heroines of the Revolution, the intrepid Gilmore sisters, her paternal grandfather, William Boyle, father of Daniel Boyle, having been a son of Ann, the younger sister, and her maternal grandmother, Anne Berry McConnell, having been the daughter of the elder sister, Elizabeth, that fearless soldier of the Revolution who occupies so conspicuous and so romantic a position in the annals of the elder sister, Elizabeth, that fearless soldier of the Revolution who occupies so conspicuous and so romantic a position in the annals of the American war for independence. Mrs. Forrest is descended from 6 other soldiers of the Revolution, these including John Berry, the young irish soldier of fortune whose romantic marriage with Elizabeth Gilmore was so interesting an indident of their patriotic endeavors in behalf of the cause of the colonists; the two Wellers, Daniel and the latter's son Daniel, both soldiers of the Revolution; father of her maternal grandfather; and David McCrory, grandfather of her paternal great-grandmother, who m. Alexander McConnell. Elsewhere in this work, in the narrative relating to her husband, Joshua Rhodes Forrest, there is much interesting information relating to the Forrest family in Washington County. Mrs. Forrest was graduated from the old Xenia (OH) Female Seminary, a finishing school for young women that ranked high with such schools in the middle west. She was b. at Greensburg, IN, and is a daughter of Daniel and Jane (McConnell) Boyle, the former of whom, a millwright; d. at his home in Greensburg, July 11, 1857, when 36 years of age. He had been for some time studying law with the view to practicing that profession and had not death interrupted his plans would in a short time have been admitted to the bar. Daniel Boyle was b. in Washington Co., PA, Apr. 8, 1820, and was one of the 8 sons of William and Elizabeth (Weller) Boyle, the latter of whom was b. in N. Strabane township, this co., a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Mechie) Weller, who were among the pioneers of that part of the co., having a farm in the neighborhood of the Old Chartiers Presbyterian Church, long and better known in this generation as the Hill Church. They both spent their last days here and are buried in the Weller private burial ground on the summit of the hill just E. of the Church. Daniel Weller, who was a son of Daniel Weller (both soldiers of the Revolution), served as a private in the Co. of Capt. John Gingery in the 9th Batt. of the Lancaster Co. Militia, in 1778, and in Capt. Abraham Forey's Co. of the 3rd Batt. in 1779. William Boyle, paternal grandfather of Mrs. Forrest, was b. in Allegheny Co., this state, in 1794 and was a son of Hugh and Ann (Cilmore) Boyle, the latter of whom is the Ann Gilmore above referred to. Hugh Boyle, a native of Ireland, came to this country in the days of his young manhood and also was a soldier of the Revolution, a private in Capt. Thomas Craig's Co. of the 3rd Reg. of the Penn Line. Upon the completion of the military service he became a farmer and landowner in Lancaster Co. and there established his home, but later moved to Allegheny Co.. Mrs. Forrest's mother, Jane McConnell Boyle, was b. in this co. and was a daughter of Alexander and Anne (Berry) McConnell, the latter of whom also was b. here, Sep. 2, 1797, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Gilmore) Berry, the couple of young Irish patriots who cast their lot with the American patriots of the War of the Revolution. Mrs. Anne Berry McConnell d. at her home here, on Sep. 5, 1855, and her husband survived her for nearly 20 years, his death occurring in 1874. Alexander McConnell was b. in Cecil township, this co., Feb. 2, 1790, and all his life was spent here as a farmer, becoming a substantial citizen of his neighborhood. During the War of 1812 Alexander McConnell enlisted as a soldier in this second war for American independence and on Oc.t 2, 1812, was assigned to Capt. Benjamin Anderson's Co. of rangers, attached to the 1st Reg., Penn Infantry, which under Col. Joel Ferree's command operated in NW OH in the decisive campaign there carried on by General William Henry Harrison, and it is through him that Mrs. Forrest holds membership in the society of the Daughters of 1812. Alexander McConnell was among the soldiers who erected Fort Ferree, at the point now occupied by the city of Upper Sandusky, Wyandot Co., OH, where 30 years before his father, Alexander McConnell, SR, had campaigned against the Indians in the expedition carried on by the ill-fated Col. Crawford, whose terrible torture and death at the hands of the Indians and in the presence of the renegade Simon Girty formed the theme of many a doleful tale and ballad in the days when the frontier gradually was being pushed westward. Alexander McConnell, JR, assisted in the erection of Fort Meigs on the Maumee, constructed as a key position in the Harrison campaign in 1812, and continued to render svc. until mustered out Apr. 2, 1813. His grandfather also bore the name of Alexander McConnell. The father was 1 of 2 brothers who came to the American colonies from Scotland and settled in Charlotte Co., VA, where he rendered svc. as a soldier of the Revolution, and about 1780 came to W. PA with his 2 sons, Alexander, JR., and Matthew, settling in Washington Co.. When in 1782 Col. William Crawford was commissioned to lead a band of troops against the marauding Indians in the Sandusky country both these sons, Alexander and Matthew, volunteered for that svc. and were thus with that expedition which in June of that year met with such distressing defeat and lost in so horrible a manner its commander. Of the 3 children b. to Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, 2 are living: Earle Robert Forrest, author of this present history of Washington Co.; and Alma, the wife of William P. Hiller of Crafton, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The elder son, Daniel Boyle Forrest, d. at Kenton, OH, some years ago.

Map of original drafts of all tracts .... of land situated in Carroll and Fallowfield townships, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Signed by James F. Woodward, Sec. of Internal Affairs. Carroll Township, dated June 18, 1923. Fallowfield Township, dated June 9, 1924. Coped for Dr. Charles F. Linn, Oct. 21, 1936 RE: Final Original Patent Holder vs Warrantee The final holder of the plantation - or messuage - as some referred to their farms, was ultimately responsible and accountable for "improvements" to the land, this being required for continued land holding, unless they sold out before the time set for someone else to take over. Some people were mere "land speculators", looking to make money off of land purchases and never settled on the lands in question. Once the other Kentucky or "Ohio Lands" opened up, then many sold out and moved West, some having multiple land holdings at the same time or purchased once others opened up. Some, moves west due to and after the Whiskey Insurrection, to where they believed they would obtain more freedom on the every moving frontier. Still others, after having served in war time or military service, received for their time and rank, amounts of land for their pay. If more information is required re: land holdings, you should contact the county or state, in which the lands laid, for more particular/specific information.
