Many people do no realize that this village did not exist while the first settlers lived there. They had a post office, located in a house in 1859, and the church was built in 1870's; but none of the other buildings existed until after 1891. Most of these early settlers whom you named had already left this White Mound area by the late 1880's, moving on to Iowa, Nebraska, Dakotas or moved to Spring Green or Reedsburg. Germans began arriving after 1855 and by 1880's were in the majority in this area. Continued good luck with your research of the Dickerson, Robison families. Phyllis Dearborn Sauk City, WI

Connie, This was fascinating. It sure seems that Wisconsin was encouraging new settlers. I have a GILBERT family that settled in Greenfield, just east of Baraboo on Johnson Road, near Man Mound Road about 1859. They had sold or lost the farm property by 1861 according to the 1861 Platt Map. Frederick D. Johnson had been the previous owner of at least a pert of the property. M.M. Johnson was a witness. There is a note in the margin, "Discharged by S.P. Woodward, Sec. O. Mtgs. Par 393 Main Reg." It was recorded by S????? Craudell, Justice of the Peace. Their nearby neighbor families in 1859 included E. Johnson, Amos Johnson, Fletcher, Wilkison, Buck, Thompson, H. Cowles, and P. Cooper. I think Linus T. Gilbert and his family were in Wisconsin, Sauk or possibly Adams County from about 1855 to 1864 before returning to Connecticut. Would there be any similar articles on this area at that time or on a migration from western Connecticut to Wisconsin? Thank you for sharing the information you found. Ginny Echelberger in Virginia

Hi Connie; I have corresponded with you before and note with interest your listing of people who came from Ohio to settle in what was then Honey Creek township,Sauk Co. Franklin was split off Honey Creek and became its own township in April 1855. I note that the newspaper article is from 1906, so it is around 50 years after they came. As part of my research into the settling of the White Mound area, I did look into the Carpenter and Dickerson families, along with some others, and I would have these comments: The Morrow Co, Ohio GenWeb site home page lists the townships from Richland Co, Ohio that became a part of Morrow Co in 1848, and Bloomfield and Troy townships are part of these counties. The Carpenter family which lists those brothers you mentioned and also some of the Cramer family and also the Henry Dickerson family I found on the 1850 Fed Census for Troy township in Morrow Co, Ohio. I did not look for any other of the families you mentioned. Those that came before 1848 would have been in Richland Co. These Carpenter brothers you mention are in a Carpenter family history written by a descendant and he says only Isaac, Daniel, Jeremiah,Timothy, and Justin came in 1853. John H Carpenter did not come until after he had served in the Civil War for Ohio. The book says he did not come until the winter of 1863-64 and then he actually served for Wisconsin in the Civil war until its close. This Carpenter family history also mentions that these brothers left from Morrow Co, not Richland Co, Ohio. I might have mentioned about the book I was writing on White Mound when I was corresponding with you earlier and I can't remember if I contacted you when it was done. It has now been published and is available. If interested, you can contact me re: it by email. Let me know when you have yours completed. Phyllis Dearborn Sauk City, WI

Looking for anyone connected to DeVoes in Sauk Co. esp. family of Harley and Edith (McGregor) DeVoe. Thank you, Duane -- Donna & Duane DeVoe Come Visit Lena, Illinois! http://www.villageoflena.com

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.

Hello, I am new to this list. I am researching my Buck side of my family which is my maternal Grandfathers side. I have info back to my g. g. g. grandfather Chester Buck.
