From an interview with John B. Pefley, by Howard Henry Keim, of Nampa, Idaho. Written in his diary, Aug. 20th, 1901. "We moved to Mont. Co., Ind., in October, 1835. Were six weeks on the road in wagons from Salem, Botetourt Co., Va. One four horse wagon, one two horse wagon, and a one horse 'carryall' comprised the train. 'Rock,' lead horse in the four horse wagon, and 'Fox' a mare, were my first team. We came on the National Road from Harper's Ferry to near Danville, Ind. Then on the Crawfordsville Road, which had plenty of stumps and mud-holes. We went through where Wallace Peffley's house now stands. Dave Fisher lived on what was later the McCreary place in a log cabin. He was my brother-in-law. McCreary came next spring and bought the homestead. My brother Samuel came here a year before us. Joseph Stover was another brother-in- law. He died in Kansas. "My 160 acre farm was in the woods with a 'deadenin' of 20 odd acres and a log cabin sixteen by sixteen feet, one room, made of split poplar logs. We built a story and a half house of logs with two rooms a few years later. We built the brick house in 1845. My wife and I lived together sixty-two years, one month, three days till Sally died Oct. 7th, 1896." BECKWITH'S HISTORY OF MONT. CO., IND. Pub. 1881 gives a sketch of John B. Pefley's father and mother and his own family. John B. made two trips back to Virginia in a wagon, once for a visit, and again to bring some relatives back. Some of the oldest Pefleys living remember him as a devout 'Dunkard,' an impressive figure as he drove his fine team of blacks to church. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harshbarger, the former a grandson of John B., owned his white wedding vest, made for him by his mother. Not sure which child this is of Claude's but i think it is this one. *John B.

Putnam County, Indiana USGenWeb Project ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BIOGRAPHY John Boswell Weik, Jesse William. Weik's history of Putnam County, Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind.: B.F. Bowen & Co., 1910, p 406 Holding worthy prestige as a citizen and standing in the front rank of Putnam County's successful agriculturists, the subject of this review is deserving of mention among the representative men of his township and it is with much satisfaction that the following brief outline of his career is herewith presented. The Boswell family in this country were among the early colonists of Virginia and in various parts of the Old Dominion state the name is still a familiar one. John Boswell, the subject's grandfather, a Virginian by birth, was reared in the county of Botetourt and there married Catherine Peffley, whose antecedents were also old residents and well-to-do-planters. Some time in the early forties this couple moved to Clark County, Ohio and later came to Putnam County, settling on the west fork of Walnut Creek in Madison Township where Mr. Boswell built a saw-mill which received its motive power from the creek. His sons, Jacob, Daniel, John and Samuel came about the same time and settled nearby, also a daughter, Mrs. William Richardson, all of whom became well known residents and were greatly esteemed by their neighbors and friends. John Boswell, Senior developed a good farm and spent the remainder of his life in Putnam County, losing his sight and living with his son John for some years previous to his death,which occurred in his 81st year, his wife preceding him to the grave. Jacob Boswell was born in Clark County, Ohio January 27, 1818 and was a young man when his parents moved to Indiana. He early turned his attention to agricultural pursuits and in due tim elocated on a farm in Washington Township where he remained a few years, removing thence to Clinton Township where he lived until some time in the 50s when he purchased the farm in Madison Township, on which the remainder of his days were spent dying there on 12 August 1886, age 68. In connection with tilling the soil he did considerable carpentry work in his neighborhood and was esteemed a very proficient mechanic. He was an enterprising, industrious man and an excellent citizen, devout christian, having long been a member of Brethren near his place of residence. Sarah Darting, whom Jacob Boswell married in Clay County Indiana departed this life at th ehome farm in Madison Township on 5 May 1895. She bore her husband 10 children, namely: George W, a carpenter, who was murdered some years ago in Madison Township; Catherine married William Moss and moved to Illinois, her husband dying later in the state of Arkansas. She subsequently returned to Indiana where her death afterewards occurred. John Henry, the third of the family moved to Illinois in 1869, thence to Missouri and Arkansas and is now living in Texas. David, the 4th of the family is a prosperous farmer of Madison Township. William, the subject of this sketch is the next younger. Zimiri lives in Madison Township, also Mary, now Mrs. Samuel Wells. Elizabeth married Robert Gardner, a Madison Township farmer. Susannah is the wife of Newton harland, who died in young womanhood, sometime after becoming the wife of Robert Gardner, who after her death married her older sister, Elizabeth as stated above. William Boswell, of this review, was born June 4, 1853, on the family homestead in Madison Township and remained under the parental roof until about 23 years of age, receiving in the meantime a fair education in the public schools. On August 23, 1876, he entered the marriage relation with Miss Jane Wells, daughter of Peter Wells of Putnam County and immediately therafter began farming for himself on the old Boswell homestead, where he lived until the death of his wife, four years later. Mrs. Boswell was only 21 when summoned to the Great Beyond, and her loss was greatly deplored by all who knew her. She left beside her husband one son, Ora A, a railway employee at Greencastle, a daughter, Minnie May, dying in infancy. Mr. Boswell's second marriage was solemnized on September 23, 1881, with Lucy Wells, daughter of Joseph and Delilah Love Wells and a half sister of Peter Wells, father of his first wife. Joseph Wells was a native of North Carolina, where he married in young manhood a Miss Stoner, whose death occurred some years later at Crab Orchard, Kentucky. Subsequently Mr. Wells moved to Putnam County Indiana and purchased a tract of land which in due time he cleared and converted into a fine farm. He was quite a successful man, owning at one time 360 acres of valuable land, 240 in his home farm and 120 in the same locality, which he subsequently sold. He died in March 1884 at the advanced age of 91, being the oldest member of the Christian Chapel Church when called to his reward. Mr. Wells was one of the influential men of the community and stood high in the confidence of his fellow citizens, both locally and throughout the county. He gave unyielding support to the Democratic party and was tenacious in the support of his opinions. A sincere christian, he exemplified his faith in his every day life and as a profound student of the Bible was long an authority on scriptural subjects, also on church history and general religious matters, concerning which he was frequently consulted. Mr. Boswell's 3rd wife was Delilah Wells, to which union were born two children, the first being Mary, who married David Bennett and spent her entire life on her father's farm, dying there September 29, 1900 leaving two sons and one daughter, Joseph, Gerald and Alta, now Mrs. Charles W. Keyt, of Clinton Township. The second child being Lucy, wife of William Boswell, subject of this sketch. Mr. Boswell now resides in Madison Township and has given his entire attention to agriculture and stock raising, in both of which his success has been very gratifying. His home farm of 120 acres is under a high state of cultivation and otherwise well improved in addition to which he owns another farm of 160 acres, a half mile distant, the latter also being successfully tilled and containing good buildings and other improvements. Mr. Boswell operates both farms and tills the soil on quite an extensive scale. He also breeds and raises high-grade stock, his cattle, horses and hogs being among the best in his section of the country. In poltics he is a Democrat; he keeps in touch with the times on all matters of public interset, lends his influence to all laudable enterprises and stands high in the community. Although connected with no religious organization, he is strictly moral and upright in his dealings and a regular attendant of and liberal contributor to the Brethren Church, with which his wife holds membership. Mr. and Mrs. Boswell have six children: Alva T, who lives with his parents; Anna M, wife of FH Alspaugh of Oklahoma; Mary D, who married Wallace Morris of Greencastle; Herbert D; Homer Vilas and J. Lee, the last three still at home. From: Virginia Smithson Mason <mailto:rwm_26@verizon.net> Jeff- I have a copy of a list of names of the Boswell family that used to hang on the wall of Joe and Bessie Boswells home. It was probably from an old family Bible. The names are: Jacob Boswell was borned February the 27th 1818; Sarah Boswell was borned January the 5th 1821; Barbery E. Boswell borned December the 11, 1843; George W. Boswell borned March the 2nd, 1845; Catherine Boswell borned May the 24th, 1847; John W. Boswell borned November the 1st, 1848; David Boswell borned June the 14th,1851; William Boswell borned June the 11th,1853; Zimry Boswell borned August the 8th, 1855; Mary A. Boswell borned Febuary the 7th, 1857; Elisabeth P Boswell borned Febuary 17th, 1858; Susana Boswell borned July the 30th, 1861; Rachel S Boswell borned June the 11th, 1865. Joseph D. Boswell was born on July 19, 1877 in Madison Township the son of David and Mary Wells Boswell. He married Bessie Smithson (my aunt) . Joe died on April 4, 1958. Joe and Bessie were second cousins, Bessie being the daughter of Zachary Taylor Smithson and Abbie Ellen Richards Smithson. Abbies' mother was Susana Boswell.

BIOGRAPHY Nelson Franklin Wood Weik, Jesse. History of Putnam County, Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind.: B.F. Bowen & Co., 1910, p 556. Nelson Franklin WOOD. One of the progressive and substantial farmers and stock raisers of Clinton Twp who has long endeavored to promote the general welfare of the community while advancing his own interests is Nelson Franklin Wood, who was born in Monroe Twp, this county April 23, 1843, and when an infant was brought to the place where he now resides. A full sketch of his parents will be found on another page of this work. He remained at home until he felt the stirrings of patriotic pride which promoted him to offer his services in defense of the national honor, and enlisted in the spring of 1863 in Co. F 133rd Regt, Indiana Volunteer Infantry and he served in a very creditable and gallant manner, enduring all the vicissitudes of his company through many strenuous campaigns, and was discharged with his regiment in 1865, having been retained at Charlotte, NC, for some time; even while in the army he was his mother's main support and he always took a delight in ministering to her every want. Mr. Wood married on Sept 5, 1866, amanda L. Hinkle, widow of William Morrison, and whose parents lived in Montgomery County, but she was born at Ladoga, Indiana. Her father came here from Botetourt County, VA. Mrs. Wood was 16 at her first marriage and 23 at her second. Mr. and Mrs. Wood lived the first year at the former's home. He erected his present dwelling about that time and has since conducted the home farm, he having bought out all the other heirs and he has so skillfuly tilled the place that it is just as productive as in the days when his father first began to till it. He has added many modern improvements and has an excellent farm. He keeps some good stock and poultry. One son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wood, William D, who died when 20 years of age, being a young man of much promise.

Putnam County, Indiana USGenWeb Project ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BIOGRAPHY William Wood Posted by Tamara Carney Weik, Jesse W., A.M. Weik&rsquo;s History of Putnam County Indiana, B. F. Bowen and Co., 1910, pp. 554-555. One of Putnam county's hardy pioneers who has long since joined 'the innumerable caravan that moves to the pale realms of shade,' but who left a rich inheritance behind him, not so much in worldly goods but in the remembrance of good deeds and a clean life, was William Wood, who was born in Botetourt county, Virginia, in 1780, where he grew to maturity and married Sarah, and it was in 1828 that they emigrated to Putnam county, Indiana, locating near the present Brick Chapel, Monroe township [sic], having made the long trip overland on horseback, bringing their first born four children. Entering land here, they began life in true pioneer fashion, spending the balance of their lives on this farm. Mr. Wood dying in 1843 and Mrs. Wood in 1846. They were Methodists and members of the first class organization of this denomination that met at Brick Chapel, and they are buried in the cemetery there. Their family consisted of seven children, named as follows: Susan married Edward Rogers and lived near Bainbridge until he died; she died in this county when past eighty years of age; William C.; Sarah married Willis Carter and lived near Rochester, Indiana, both dying at advanced ages; Polly, Mrs. Sam Parker, resided in Fulton county [sic], Indiana, and is buried there; Willis Wood died unmarried; Nelson Wood married first, Millie Vermillion and second, Catherine Leatherman; he had four children; she later married Mr. Rundel; Nancy Ann married William McCray and they both died in Monroe township [sic], the latter in 1909, at the advanced age of ninety-two years; Dolph Wood lived in this county, married Rachael Leatherman, sister of Catherine, and lived and died in Madison township [sic] when past seventy years of age. William Wood was born July 22, 1811, in Botetourt county [sic], Virginia, and died August 7, 1861. He married Lucinda Stark, who was born March 30, 1823, and who died May 11, 1885, February 14, 1839, being celebrated as their wedding day. She was the daughter of Thomas and Gatie Stark, and she was born in Bourbon county [sic], Kentucky, and when a child came to Indiana, locating near the Brick Chapel in Monroe township [sic]. Thomas Stark was born October 29, 1791, and died May 3, 1859. Under the old state militia order, Governor Combs appointed William Wood second lieutenant of a company in Col. James Fish&rsquo;s regiment. Mrs. William Wood spent her life in Clinton township on the farm of which the present Nelson place is a part. He owned one hundred and sixty-nine acres and built a good house near a fine spring and there William Wood lived and died, being fairly successful as a farmer; his death occurred August 7, 1861, being survived by his wife until May 11, 1885. They were Methodists and are both buried in the cemetery at Brick Chapel in the same lot as their parents on both sides. &nbsp;Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. William Wood, ten of whom reached maturity, namely: Sarah A. lives with Nelson Wood; Arthur lives in Champaign, Illinois; Nelson, whose sketch appears in another page of this work; Mary married Richard Fisk and lives in Wilson county [sic], Kansas; Jane married Miller Wilson and both died in Indianapolis; Andrew was killed when eighteen years of age by the accidental discharge of a gun; Hayden lives in Clinton township; Nancy Ann is the wife of William Shonkwiler, of Benton county [sic], Indiana; Susan G. married Harvey McDonald and died when a young woman; William C. died when sixteen years of age; Benjamin F. died in childhood; Lucinda also died in childhood. &nbsp;It is a fact worth recording that in 1852 William Wood, then township supervisor and working the road on the township line between Monroe and Clinton townships [sic] when ex-county commissioner, Elisha Cowgill passed and suggested that Mr. Wood name the hill or the creek and that he would name the other, giving Mr. Wood his choice, and the latter gave the name of Big Owl to the creek, which it still bears. Mr. Cowgill named the place Bunker hill [sic]. William Wood was a Whig and later a Republican, being well posted on all public affairs, but would not accept office. He was a worthy Methodist, also a worthy member of the Masonic fraternity. He was charitable to the afflicted and needy, a good neighbor and friend. He was widely known and highly respected, his integrity and honor being above reproach. He was noted for his kindness in sickness and went far and near to wait on the afflicted.

When Indiana's Montgomery County opened for settlement, a group from Botetourt County established a Church of the Brethren on Racoon Creek. Church of the Brethren, Ladoga, Montgomery County, Indiana Congregation (Thanks to Merle Rummel for this file) Winger, Otho History of the Church of the Brethren in Indiana, 1917, Brethren Publishing House, Elgin IL pp 71-75 THE LADOGA GROUP OF CHURCHES Including Ladoga, Mt Pleasant, Bethany and Little Walnut Largely Written by W.R. Harshbarger and E.N. Goshorn In the year 1826, William R. Smith and Mary Smith, his wife, moved from Darke County, Ohio to Putnam County Indiana, and settled on the Big Raccoon Creek. He was a bishop in the German Baptist church. Elizabeth Roberts, Jacob Ronk and Hannah Ronk, his wife, Henry Moss and Frances Moss, his wife, all moved the same year, with others. We have no papers showing the date of the organization of the church, but it was doubtless organized at once, with William R. Smith as its first Bishop. William and Sarah Guilliams, Mary Smith and Christian Landis came in the fall of 1827. In the autumn of 1829 an election was held for the deacons. Jacob Ronk and Alexander Smith were chosen. The letters of Jacob Garver and Sarah Garver, his wife, are dated September 26, 1830. In his letter he is recommended as “house father and bishop with us on Obion Creek”. It does not give the name of the church, county or state. It is signed by Brethren James McRoy Spea, Joseph Moyers, Abraham Miller, William Souder and William Pringle. About 1820 Daniel Miller and wife moved from the Four Mile Church, Union County, Indiana, and located near the east line of Park County, Indiana, on Big Raccoon. He was a bishop. Thomas Miller and wife, Sally, moved from Four Mile church with letters dated July 21, 1832. They located in Putnam County, Indiana. An election was held in the Raccoon church district in 1835 for the election of minister. Brother Thomas Miller was elected. He moved to Missouri in 1847 or ‘48. In 1837 an election was held for minister and deacon. Francis Myers was called to the ministry and Samuel Britts to the office of deacon. In their early days they had their troubles. Elder W.R. Smith wanted to hold church meetings publicly. Deacon Rouk and others said that it was not according to the rules of the Brethren. To settle the difficulty they sent for Brethren Boenin and wine, of Virginia. They came on horseback to the little organization on Raccoon Creek. They heard the case and decided that the Ronks were right and that Smith was wrong. For this and other reasons the church was put under the care of Daniel Miller. In the thirties the Harshbargers, Myerses, Britts, Graybills, Pefleys, Stoners, and Ronks came from Virginia and settled around Ladoga. This was quite encouraging to the little church. August 21, 1846, at the home of Elder Jacob Garber on Raccoon Creek, Jeremiah Wooden was called to the ministry. Elder William Gish moved into the church in 1847 and became its third elder. About this time Daniel Miller and Francis Myers moved to Iowa, where they died. In 1848 the first churchhouse was built in the south part of Montgomery County, called Cool spring meetinghouse. In 1853 Daniel Himes and Evesley Burk were elected to the ministry. August, 18857, John Guilliams and George Stover were elected deacons. Matthias Frantz, who came from Botetourt County, Virginia, was ordained in 1836. He lived to the nearly 90 and died in 1898. August 16, 1858, an election was held for two speakers. Robert H. Miller and Daniel Stoner were elected. (Daniel Stoner was the brother of David Stoner, Samuel Stoner’s father.) this election was in charge of Hiel Hamilton, Samuel Murray, Daniel Himes and Wesley Burkett. At this time Brother Matthias Frantz was bishop as fourth in line from the beginning. We have no date of his taking charge. The papers showing the date of Robert Miller’s advancement and installation are lost. His house was burned in 1863, with all its contents, including valuable church papers. He was bishop of the church from some time in the early sixties till October 22, 1880, as fifth bishop in line. In September, 1864, an election was held resulting in the calling of Martin Neher to the ministry and Jacob Neff to the office of deacon. April 27, 1867, Jacob Mahorney and William R. Harshbarger were elected to the ministry. October 8, 1867, David Peffley and Samuel Rettinger were chosen deacons. August 12, 1871, William R. Harshbarger was advanced to the second degree, and Jacob Neff was elected to the ministry. At this time William Frame, John Neff and Jacob Himes were elected deacons. October 22, 1880, William R. Harshbarger was ordained and the church put under his care as sixth bishop. “R.H. Miller went to Ohio to take the presidency of Ashland College in September, 1880, and in January, 1881, he moved there and also became the associate editor of The Gospel Preacher along with S.H. Bashor and J.H. Worst. July 26, 1881, he was given full control of that paper. He moved to North Manchester, Indiana, April1, 1882, and in the following fall became the bishop of the church there. He died in Mount Morris, Illinois, March 8, 1892, where he had gone to give a series of doctrinal sermons in connection with the work of the school in that place. His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near the West Manchester church, Indiana. His talent as a preacher of the word was of a high order. He was systematic and logical in his discourses and was a great debater. He was keen and analytical, calm and self-controlled in all his debates.” December 6, 1881, there were elected to the ministry William Lauter, Thomas Watkins and Thomas Everson; January 7, 1884, they were advanced to the second degree. William Lauter died in California, Thomas Everson died in the Ladoga church. L.T. Holsinger and family moved into this church sometime in the year 1888, and rendered valuable service during their seven years’ stay. October, 1890, Samuel Stoner was called to the ministry, advanced to the second degree October, 1899, and ordained to the eldership January 4, 1904. H.H. Keim and wife came here from Pennsylvania January 19, 1891. He was a minister in the second degree. He was ordained to the eldership May 22, 1897. January 13, 1891, the following deacons were elected: William Hicks, Jesse Ronk, Frank Rose, John Hime and Wilfred Harshbarger. May 31, 1900 E.N. Goshorn was chosen minister and Charley Kaylor deacon. May 31, 1906, E.N. Goshorn was forwarded to the second degree of the ministry and Clayton Mahorney was chosen deacon. February 29, 1908, E.N. Goshorn was ordained to the eldership, succeeding William Harshbarger, and in January, 1909 was chosen bishop of the church, which position he still holds. He became the bishop of Mount Pleasant Church July 3, 1909, and held that position until July 15, 1911. In 185`, the second house was built in Putnam County and called Little Walnut. In 1869 the third house was built, one mile north of Ladoga, and called Bethel. In 1888 Mount Pleasant churchhouse was built, about four and one-half miles east of Ladoga in Montgomery County. In 1894 the fifth house was built, in Boone County, about eighteen miles east of Ladoga and ten miles south of Lebanon. It is known as Bethany. John A Miller, of Nettle Creek, is elder. William Hicks and Oscar Harrison are deacons. The Little Walnut church was organized as a separate church December 1, 1892, with fifty members. William Harshbarger was bishop and Zimri Marker and Hiram Heady deacons. Its membership is now quite small. The Mount Pleasant congregation was organized January 4, 1904, with eighty-seven members. Samuel Stoner, bishop; Jesse Ronk and Charley Kaylor, deacons. Since then David Stoner, R.H. Miller Jr., Jesse Ronk and Charles Ronk have been called to the ministry. Jesse Ronk was later ordained and is now presiding elder. These churches, having thus been organized as separate congregations, left ninety-one members in the Raccoon church. In 1804 the name of Raccoon church was changed to Ladoga. The church now has sixty members, with E.N. Goshorn and William Harshbarger, elders; David Pefley, John Himes, Frank Rose, Oliver Miller and Wilfred Harshbarger, deacons. -- Jeffery G.
