Hope someone finds this helpful. Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, 1888, pp. 463-464 JAMES McCORMICK, one of the successful farmers of Wabash Township, residing on section 24, is a native of Ohio, born in Greene County, January 8, 1822, a son of PHILLIP and MARY (CRAIN) McCORMICK. The father was born in the year 1792, and was married in Greene County, Ohio, where he resided until 1826. In that year he came to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and settled on section 24, Wabash Township, where he entered 200 acres of land from the Government. He had visited the county in the year 1825, and assisted in building the first hewed log house where Lafayette now stands. He added to his original tract of land until he had 720 acres, which by years of toil and perservering energy he improved and brought under fine cultivation, this land being as good as could be found in Wabash Township. He died an honored and respected citizen February 6, 1855, his widow surviving him until January 1865. They were the parents of six children, of whom three yet survive--JAMES, the subject of this sketch; MRS. SARAH A. YOUNG and MRS. RACHEL RUSSELL. MATILDA J., ELIZABETH and ANDREW J. are deceased. JAMES McCORMICK was but four years of age when brought by his parents to this county, and here he was reared amid the wild surroundings of pioneer life, and his educational advantages were very limited. His youth was passed on a farm, and farming has been the principal vocation of his life. He was united in marriage to MISS ALCINDA MEEKENS, who was born in Hampshire County, Virigina, August 30, 1825, a daughter of JOSEPH and ELIZABETH (LUNFORD) MEEKENS, who were among the early settlers of Tippecanoe County. MR. MEEKENS settled in Lafayette in November, 1832, and established the first market in that now prosperous city. He removed with his family to Jasper County, Indiana, where he died June 15, 1857. MRS. MEEKENS died in the same county, November 7, 1847. They had eight children born to them, of whom MRS. McCORMICK is the only one living at the present writing. The names of the deceased are: JAMES, LOUIS, THORNTON, MARGARET, TAMOR, RICHARD and ELIZABETH. Of the twelve children born to MR. and MRS. McCORMICK, but six are living: REBECCA, wife of THOMAS BACEY; WASHINGTON F., THOMAS J., JOSEPH P., ANDREW J. and ULYSSES G. The deceased are: MARGARET, MARY, JAMES C. and three who died in infancy unnamed. MR. McCORMICK is one of the substantial men of his township, and by his fair and honorable dealings and strict integrity he has gained the confidence and respect of the entire community. He is the owner of 390 acres of choice land, which is well improved, and his residence and farm buildings are comfortable and commodious. In his political views he affiliates with the Republican party.

Dear Charles, There are several other mentions of Jacob Slagle in this book (14!)--would you like them? Several relating to his service as a militia captain, some relating to his land as a landmark (in planning roads, etc.), some mentioning him as a member of a grand jury (and at least one in which he is ordered to show cause why he didn't show up for jury duty), one as a road surveyor...There is also one mention of a Joseph Slagle being appointed as militia ensign (16 Sept. 1801). I don't mind transcribing, if these are relevant.

Is there any reference to Daniel Stephen or any other Radcliffs pre-1790 in Hampshire County? Someone kindly sent me the fact that his estate inventory was on file but surely there is more. Wish I could travel back there and do some digging. Gary Radcliffe West Covina, Ca glradcliffe@aol.com

Is there any book(s) or website that has birth, death and marriage information for Hampshire County in the late 1700s and early 1800s? Thanks, Debra Hill, Jacksonville, FL

Mason Co., KY marriages Noble Grimes and Sally Willett, Feb. 11, 1803 Charles Willett, bondsman It is very possible that this Sally Willett is the sister of Nancy and George that I mentioned. I haven't completely figured her out yet. I have only recently found enough in Mason Co., KY to start pinpointing areas in the east that I need to research. And, thank you to Gray Matters for the Richard Willett data. I did not realize that Richard Willett was a Captain - this is very interesting news.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1141 Surname: Willett, Ingle ------------------------- I am interested in connecting up with any WILLETT researchers for the Hampshire/Berkeley Co. area. Found in the Mason Co., KY court records: Book H - 7 12 Mar 1804 Richard Willett of Mason Co and Nancy his wife AND Matthias Ingle of Hamshire, Va Tr: Sale of land in Hamshire co Va on Potomak river, with all the houses, buildings, barns, stables, woods, waters, etc. Clerk: Marshall Key for release of dowry rights of Nancy Willett According to family stories Richard Willett was a cousin to his wife Nancy Willett. Nancy's brother, George, also married his cousin, Rachel Willett. Nancy and George were the children of Charles Willett and Martha Elliot Wallingford. At this time, I do not know the parents of Richard or Rachel Willett.

Hi Researchers, I'm looking for *any* data for WILLETT in Hampshire Co., VA (now WV) between 1770's and 1804. I believe these Willett's moved off to Mason Co., KY around 1795. There is a record of a property sale on March 12, 1804 in Mason Co., KY. Richard and Nancy Willett sold 161 acres of land in Hampshire Co., VA (now W. Va. since 1863) to Mattheas Ingles for $1600. Any early Hampshire Co. Willett data would be most appreciated. I'm new to this particular county and have never hunted in those records before. Any county history for the late 1700's is very welcome also. Best Regards, Kathy in MN

Need the roster of the men who was with General McIntosh during the Rev war. It is said Captain Archibald Wiggins helped with the building of Fort McIntosh in 1795. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Cora

Hi Laura, I have a bunch of Taylor kin in Hampshire County prior to 1825, but my branch left for Ohio about then. I have not followed those other branches as yet, so I don't have anything on a B.F.

Phil, I am looking for a B.F.TAylor born in WV (one document says KY) married to Emma Savage. B.F. b.ca 1870. I would guess BF stands for Benjamin Franklin and it could be that mine is a Jr. I'm putting this note on the Hampshire list because though i don't know about this Taylor, I do know one child of his is allied by marriage to the SINES family of Hampshire Co.
