US . SI 2 AX - 1 2 LUT ITAB BY New Connecticut Chapter. PAINESVILLE, OHIO. PREFACE 1 Jan g N 1899 the New Connecticut Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, appointed a committee to locate the burial places of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Lake County, and to pre- pare a brief personal and military history of each. At that time the number of known Revolutionary Soldiers buried in the County did not, perhaps, exceed ten or fifteen, and people best informed on the subject predicted that the most thorough search would not be able to more than double the number, No sooner had the work commenced than the Committee began to realize the extent and difficulty of their undertaking. The length of time which had elapsed; the apathy of living descendants and rela- tives, when such could be found; the absence of grave-stones, and the loss of authentic records, were among the first obstacles to be met and overcome. A thorough inspection of all burying-grounds, both private and public, was undertaken; local his- tories and town, county and church records were care- fully studied; newspaper files running back three- quarters of a century were closely scanned, and in all cases the history of those whose age assured the pos- sibility of their having been participants in our great war of independence, was untiringly sought out and brought to proof. Much assistance was secured from secretaries-of- state of Mass, and Conn, and from the National D. A. R. The U. S. pension records, also, were indis- pensable. All these sources of information, as well as others not enumerated, were constantly drained, while a per- sistent correspondence was directed toward officials of high and low degree, towards friends, relatives and neighbors, for proof of elusive facts and tradi- tional statements. And now, after three years of searching and compiling we bring our labor to a close. Should this little volume encourage other local- ities to undertake to wrest from oblivion and perpe- tuate the names and memories of those brave spirits who fought and suffered to found an independent nation, we shall feel that our long labor has been abundantly rewarded. MRS. MARY E. T. WYMAN, Chairman of Committee. Painesville, Ohio, December, 1902. JOHN ABEL, 1756-1836. “Died in Perry, Lake Co., Ohio on Friday the 23rd of Dec. 1836, Mr. John Abel, a Revolution- ary Soldier, in the 80th year of his age. He rose in the morning in good health, ate a hearty breakfast, and went out and cut a stick of wood at the door; went in and sat down, and while caressing a little grandchild who was play- ing around him, swooned away and died in- stantly." He enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Sharon, Conn., in June, 1777, for three months, under Capt. Jonathan Penoyer; Oct. 1st for one month, with Capt. Ephraim Meriner; Dec. 1778, three months with Capt. Amos Chapel; and again in July 1779, for three months, under Col. Lawrence. His rank was that of Corporal, and as such he received a pension under the act of 1832. He lies in Perry Cemetery. A STEPHEN AMES, 1748-1825. Stephen Ames was one of the early settlers of Kirtland township, coming in 1815 from Hol- lis, New Hampshire. He was at one time one of the selectmen of Hollis. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1778 for three years or the war, in Col. Cilley's regiment. In 1818 the first township election in Kirtland was held at the home of Stephen Ames (one mile south of Temple) on Jan. 5th. Mr. Ames was elected treasurer, which office he held several years. His son Jeremiah was made constable. He died Nov. 2, 1825; his widow Jan. 4, 1832. They are buried in South Kirtland, though no stones mark the spot. He received a pension. SILAS ANTISEL, 1749-1817. Silas Antisel (Antisdel, A. Tisdel, Tisdel) son of Lawrence Antisel and Mary Armstrong, was born in Norwich, Conn. in 1749. He was married at Willington, Conn. to Maria Bethiah Curtis, May 4, 1775. From Willington he served in the Lexington Alarm, in the Revolu- tionary War, in Capt. Heath's company in April 1775, his brother Peres enlisting from Ludlow, Mass., in Capt. Isaac Colton's company, Col. David Brewer's regt., in 1775. The children of Silas and Bethiah Antisel were Curtis, Thomas, Peres, Lawrence, Silas, Thankful, Sarah, Han- nah, Betsey and Bethiah. They made the journey from Connecticut to Madison, Ohio, in the winter of 1812-13 with their son Curtis and his family, locating on the South Ridge in Madison. Silas Antisdel died Sept. 13, 1817, and Bethiah, his wife, Sept. 18, 1824, and both are buried in the cemetery which was once a part of their farm. One grandchild (Mrs. Don Wyman of Perry), born in 1814, is probably the oldest person born within the limits of Lake Co. now living. • SILAS BAILEY, 1754-1845. Col. Silas Bailey, born in Mass. in 1754, died in Perry, Lake Co., Ohio, July 9, 1845, aged ninety-one years. “Silas Bailey was a private in Capt. Artemas · How's company, which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service, twenty-four days. Also served under Capt. Jonathan Houghton during Oct. and Nov. 1776. He was second lieutenant in Capt. Jonathan Marion's company, Col. Josiah Whitney's regi- ment." Silas Bailey appears in the list of officers of the Mass. militia, commissioned June 17, 1779. He is buried in Perry cemetery, and is remem- bered here as the father of Rey. Jacob Bailey, a Baptist clergyman of pioneer days. DANIEL BARTRAM, 1745-1817. Daniel Bartram was born in Fairfield, Conn. Oct. 23, 1745. In 1777 he enlisted as a private in Capt. Hull's company, Col. Stearns' regiment, Conn. militia. He saw active service in the de- fense of Danbury against the raids of the British. Daniel Bartram moved to Madison, Ohio, in May 1809, where he resided until his death, May 17, 1817. He was buried in the burying ground at Unionville, near the church. Soon after, the church was burned, and it was found impossible to locate his grave. A stone was erected to his memory in the Middle Ridge burying ground, where lie the remains of his wife and many of his descendants. Contributed by Ida A. Mills, great-grand- daughter of Daniel Bartram. EZRA BEEBE, 1737-1813. Ezra Beebe, it is said by some, was the first settler in Perry township, the honor being divided between him and Thomas L. Wright. He died Jan. 15, 1813, aged seventy-six years. He enlisted in the 1st Regiment, New York line, under Col. Goose Van Schaik, in the Revolution- ary War. He was the first adult buried in Perry town- ship, and now lies in the Town Cemetery. WILLIAM BIDWELL, 1767-1831. William Bidwell Sr., joined the 8th Conn. Regt. in 1782 under Capt. Joseph Jewett and Col. . 9 Jedediah Huntington. His regiment protected the Boston camps and took part at Roxbury. For nearly eighty years the Bidwell family was identified with the history of Lake Co. Wm. Bidwell with his wife and family of six children, came from their home in Farmington, Conn. in 1820 and settled on the Middle Ridge in Madison, which place was the Bidwell homestead for half a century. Noah Porter, afterward President of Yale College, was their pastor and friend in Conn., and he exercised a great influence upon the trend of their lives, for two of the sons Walter and Oliver went back and graduated at Yale, study- ing for the ministry. Walter H. Bidwell edited at different times “The Independent” and “The New York Evangel- ist.” The Eclectic Magazine was founded by him. He was a traveller of note, and his book "Imperial Courts," was written after his present- ation at the courts of Europe. The other son, Wm. Bidwell Jr., remained on the farm, and was the main stay of the family, a good husband and father, honorable in all things. Of such stock was Connecticut's contri- bution to the foundations of good citizenship laid by the pioneers of the Western Reserve. Two of the grandsons of the Wm. Bidwell, who served in the Revolutionary War, were in the War of the Rebellion serving throughout the en- tire war. Dr. Theodore S. Bidwell was surgeon of the 125th Regt. of Ohio Infantry, and Walter H. Bidwell was a bugler in Battery C, 1st Ohio Light Artillery. Wm. Bidwell Sr. died in 1831, and sleeps in the Middle Ridge Cemetery in Madison, near his home. Contributed by Helen Bidwell Hoag. 10 BENJAMIN BISSELL, 1761-1841. Benjamin Bissell enlisted in the Revolution- ary War from Lebanon, Conn. in 1778 or 1779 in Capt. Bliss' Company, Col. Ledyard's Regi- ment for three months; again in 1781 for nine months in Capt. Munson's Company, Col. Zebu- lon Butler's Regiment, Connecticut Troops. Benj. Bissell was born at Lebanon, Conn., March 31, 1761. At the same place he married Elizabeth Heath in 1784, and later removed to New York, spend- ing the larger part of their lives at Hartrick, where they raised a family of eleven children. In 1832 Mr. and Mrs. Bissell were with a daughter at Burlington, N. Y., from which place he applied for a pension which was granted him. Later they came to Painesville, Ohio, to spend their remaining years with their son Judge Ben- jamin Bissell, where Benjamin Bissell Sr. died Oct. 1, 1841, and his wife Elizabeth, Feb. 24, 1851, aged eighty-nine years. Both are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Benjamin Bissell was a cousin of Gov. Clark Bissell of Conn., and his son Judge Benjamin Bis- sell was State Senator from Painesville in the years 1839-40. BENJAMIN BLISH, 1753-1825. Tolland Co., Conn., was the birthplace of Ben- jamin Blish, Feb. 22, 1753. In 1774 he married Phebe Skinner, sister of Capt. Abraham Skinner of Painesville. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War, one month and nineteen days, in Capt. Micah Ham- len's Co., Col. Thomas Marshall's regt, from June 13, 1776, to Aug. 1, 1776; also twenty-five days, from Aug. 1 to Aug. 26 at Castle Island; also thirty-one days in Capt. Sylvanus Martin's Co., 11 Col. Williams' regt., from Sept. 29 to Oct. 30, 1777, in Rhode Island; and again at an alarm at the same place for six days under Capt. Israel Hicks, Col. Thomas Carpenter's regt., from Aug. 1 to Aug. 6, 1780. About 1780 he moved his family to Middle- field, Hampshire Co., Mass., where they resided till they left for Ohio in Feb. 1804, with his bro- ther-in-law, Capt. Skinner. They traveled on the snow to Buffalo, and on the ice of the Lake the latter part of the way. He bought land and made some preparations for removing his family, re- turning in the fall to Massachusetts. On the 20th day of June, 1805, he started with his family for Ohio. Leaving his oldest daughter, the wife of Orris Clapp, his family consisted of himself and wife, six daughters and two sons, aged 21 and 12 years. At first their journey was prosperous, but in passing through New York state, the father was taken sick with the ague, the roads grew very bad; after leaving Buffalo they found great difficulty in obtaining food for man or beast. They traveled by short stages on the beach of the Lake, sometimes felling a basswood tree, and browsing the horses upon the leaves.. They reached Erie July 16, the horses badly worn and unfit for further use. Here they made an agreement with a man named Ross to bring the family and stuff to Fairport in his boat, in exchange for one wagon. The two boys pushed on with the horses and two dogs, enduring many hardships, before they reached the home of Capt. Skinner on Grand river, shortly before noon on July 20. They had had no weapon of defense larger than a pocket knife. The family were on the way forty-one days, in jeopardy from winds and waves, sometimes a part of them carried ashore by one of the boat- men in his arms, then walking for miles through woods or on the sand, not knowing the fate of the others, till through the guidance of a kind July 30. They went into one room of a log house with Esq. Merry until their own house was completed in Dec. 1805, on land yet known as the Blish farm, in Mentor. There lived for twenty years Benjamin Blish, rejoicing, even amidst the priva- tions incident to a new settlement, that he had placed his children in a more desirable location than the Green mountains of Massachusetts, where his entire life had been one of severe labor and close economy, with no better outlook for them. He died March 11, 1825, aged 72 years. His wife died Oct. 5, 1844, at 91. They are both buried in the Blish Cemetery in West Painesville. WILLIAM BRANCH, 1760-1849. William Branch was born in Preston, Conn., Sept. 3, 1760. In the fall of 1776 when but six- teen years of age, he enlisted and was sent to old Fort Trumbull, where he remained until the fol- lowing spring, when he was placed under the command of Capt. Leffingwell, to go to Rhode Is- land, but as his enlistment was opposed by his family on account of his youth, he was sent back to Norwich. The lad, however, was determined, and on army under Capt. Jedediah Hyde, Col. John Durkee's regt. He was engaged in the following battles, viz: Germantown, Oct. 4, 1777; Red Bank, Mon- mouth, June 28, 1778; Fort Mifflin, Nov. 17, 1777; and in other engagements and skirmishes. During the winter of 1777-78 he was with Gen. Washington in the historic camp at Valley . 13 Forge, and was in the forced march from the north to Yorktown, under the command of Gen. Hamilton. He participated in the siege of Yorktown, being one of the soldiers selected from the Con- necticut troops to make the final assault on the redoubt, and witnessed the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, Oct. 19, 1781. He was present at the trial and execution of Major Andre, and was one of the three guards selected by Gen. Washington to take the body of Andre from the gallows. On July 7, 1783, William Branch was dis- charged from Capt. Samuel Clift's company, in Col. Zebulon Butler's Conn. regt., at West Point, New York, and was honored with a badge of merit which he received from the hand of Gen. Washington “for six years faithful service,” in the defense of his country.

Peter Markell was one of the pioneers of Kirt- land, coming with his family in 1816, bringing with him some of the finest horses that had ever been in this part of the country. In his later years he became an invalid, caused by privations and exposure while in the army. His granddaughter, Mrs. Henry Booth, re- members him as a fine looking man, very kind and gentle with the children. She has in her possession an old-fashioned arm-chair, that he brought to Ohio with him, which she keeps as a souvenir. She remembers stories he used to tell her, one of which follows: “At one time when his people were staying in a fort to be safe from the Indians, he was plow- ing in a field not far away. He had been advised not to leave the Fort as Indians were thought to be near. After plowing for some time, he be- came aware that there were Indians about the field. 36 “He dared not stop but kept at his work, though every time he came near the entrance to the field, he would stop and adjust the harness. The third time when he stopped he hastily un- hitched from the plow, sprang upon one of the horses, and escaped to the fort, closely pursued by the Indians." A young boy named Henry, a brother of Peter Markell, at the time of a battle between the Americans and British, went to the top of a hill that he might see the battle, and was lost; no trace of him has ever been found. His mother mourned so bitterly for her child, whose fate was clothed in mystery, that she lost her reason. It is said she spoke no word for a year or more. Mrs. Peter Markell lived to receive a widow's pension. ISAAC MARTIN, 1757-1832.

ANSON SESSIONS, 1770-1827. in Windham, Conn., April 16, 1770, and died in 45 Painesville, Ohio, in August 1827. His father was a deacon of the Presbyterian church and a school teacher. Anson Sessions, in 1770, left his native place and went to Cooperstown, N. Y. After the defeat of the army of St. Clair he volunteered for military service under Gen. Wayne, and was with him on the Maumee, Aug. 21, 1794, when the Indians suffered such an over- whelming defeat that they never after made seri- ous head against the whites in the north-west. After the treaty of Greenville, Ohio, he was or- dered with the army to the Cherokee country. Mason, the notorious leader of the banditti that infested the Mississippi country, was killed by one of his own followers for the reward offered. was at Natchez. While at the south, Butler, his colonel, died, and by request of that officer, made just before his death, Sessions accompanied Mrs. Butler and the children back to Pittsburg, then Fort Duquesne. Being a soldier and a frontiersman, he was solicited by Aaron Burr to join his expedition, but suspecting its true character, he refused. Sessions was honorably discharged from the army after three years' service in the Indian wars, which on account of the part taken in them by Great Britain, were stated by Gen. Harrison in his speech at Fort Meigs, to be a continuation of the War of the Revolution. For his services in the army a warrant for 160 acres of land was issued to his widow in 1851. It was obtained chiefly on the testimony of a Mr. Stevens of Montville, who was also in the army and one of the very few, if not the last survivor. During all the years of his service, Mr. Sessions used to like to say, he had not slept under a shingle." After his discharge he returned to Coopers- 46 town, N. Y., where he lived three years; then started on horse-back, with a few hundred dol- lars in coin, for Tennessee, to buy a farm. He stayed over night at Buffalo, there being at that place then two log cabins only, and fol- lowing the lake shore, arrived at Painesville in October 1800, the same year of the arrival of Gen. Paine and Judge John Walworth. He was hos- pitably entertained by Walworth, and was in- duced by him to buy 180 acres of land, for four dollars an acre, now known as the Fobes farm. He immediately built a log cabin on the first hill near the river, cleared up most of the bottom land and a portion of the upland, and set out extensive fruit orchards. Mr. William Fobes, who died in 1860, told of eating peaches from this farm in 1806. On the 16th of Dec., 1804, Anson Sessions married Asenath A. Fobes, a daughter of Lemuel Fobes, from Norwich, Mass. A contract with the Conn. Land Company was made Nov. 20, 1806, and signed by Abraham Tappan and Anson Sessions in pursuance of which all that portion of the Western Reserve lying west of the Cuyahoga River, comprising over 800,000 acres, was conveyed. Mr. Sessions was not a surveyor, but was then a man in the prime of life, of great bravery and persever- ance in any business he undertook, making him a safe and trustworthy partner. This statement was made by Judge Tappan in the Cleveland Her- ald in 1831. He also says that "Mr. Anson Ses- sions was large and well proportioned, and in his younger days decidedly good looking. He was a man of peculiar strength, and was known and esteemed among the pioneers as very kind and be- nevolent." Mrs. Sessions survived him, with four of their six children, named Norman, Aurel, Mariner, and Horace. He was buried on his own farm, where his remains now rest. His name is inscribed on a monument in Evergreen Cemetery. PELEG SIMMONS, 1761-1854.

He was buried on Willoughby Plains, Lake Co., Ohio. During the Revolutionary War he served his country from Connecticut as soldier on a war vessel, which was used to protect the coast. ABRAHAM SKINNER CAPT. ABRAHAM SKINNER, 1755-1826. Capt. Abraham Skinner, descended, as family tradition relates, from an old English family, was born in Glastonbury, Conn., in the year 1775. About the time of the accession of Charles the Second to the British throne, the family emi- grated to America, feeling, in consequence of their having espoused the cause of Cromwell, and held office under him, that a more congenial home might be found in this country. In the possession of this branch of the family, at the beginning of the past century, was a sword, which had been used by an ancestor in his service as an officer under Cromwell. This same sword again did valiant service at the time of the Salem Witchcraft Craze, for the descendants of this branch of the Skinners boast, that it was one of their ancestors, who dared to lead a squad of de- termined men to rescue from the gallows a poor woman, condemned to death as a witch. Capt. Abraham Skinner, son of Abram Skin- ner and Phoebe Strong, was one of a family of ten children. Two of his sisters married pio- neers of the Western Reserve. Phoebe was the wife of Benjamin Blish, who settled in Mentor, and Jemima married Benaiah Jones, from whom the Goldsmith family are de- scendants. From another sister is descended the well known authoress, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. Of the early life of Abraham Skinner, we know but little. In the War of the Revolution, his military record shows that he served from the town of East Windsor, among the men who marched from the Connecticut towns, for the re- lief of Boston in the Lexington Alarm of April 1775, in Capt. Amasa Loomis' Company. Again, enlisted April 24, 1778, in Capt. Harrison's com- pany, served eight months, and was Commissary 51 of Prisoners, in the Fourth Regiment, Connecti- cut Line, Col. John Durke, commanding. In 1788 he was married to Mary Ayers, re- sided for a time in Mulberry, Conn., and then moved to East Windsor. In 1796, as the agent of an association, he made a trip to England and returning brought with him three blooded horses, by name “Creeper," "King William” and “All Fours." From these have come some of the finest horses of Virginia and New England. In 1798, Capt. Skinner in company with Gen. Edward Paine, came to the Western Reserve and made large purchases of land in Painesville and elsewhere on the Reserve. In Painesville in conjunction with Col. Eleazer Paine he bought the entire tract No. 4, embracing about 3,240 acres. . Capt. Skinner returned to Conn., remaining in East Hartford until 1803, when he again vis- ited his Ohio lands in company with the family of Col. Paine. They brought with them horses and cattle, farming implements and young fruit trees. They contracted for the clearing of lands, and built log cabins to shelter the Paine family, and one to be ready for the Skinner family when they should come. Col. Paine and Capt. Skinner at this time, to- gether platted out a town, embracing the site of their improvements, and located on the west side of Grand river about two and a half miles from its mouth. Much on the order of a New England town, this plot included a park or public square, and at the river landing a log warehouse was erected. This town was called "New Market” from the old Indian name "Nemaw Wetaw." Capt. Skinner again returned to Connecticut, and in March 1805 started with his family, con- sisting of his wife, two daughters, three sons, and two hired men, for their new home in the 52 wilderness. Their journey took them over the accustomed route, through the state of New York and as far as Buffalo. Thence by sleighs they came over the ice of the frozen lake. On the last day, between Ashtabula and Madison a team driven by one of the hired men broke through the ice, soon the horse ridden by the younger daughter, Paulina, (afterward wife of Nathan Perry, and mother of Mrs. H. B. Payne of Cleve- land) broke through and was extricated with some difficulty. They spent that night at Madison, and by the next day, the ice which had borne them up so well was unsafe, and they journeyed on by land to their new home, reaching it that same day. Capt. Skinner was active in the interest of the new place, and other settlers shortly came in, among them the families of Joseph Pepoon, Benj. Blish and Benaiah Jones. He made strong efforts to have the county seat located at "New Market," and the first trial was held in Skinner's barn. Soon a two story court house, built of black walnut logs, was com- pleted by Capt. Skinner, where for several years, law and justice were meted out. At that time the whole of Cuyaboga, Lake and Ashtabula counties were included in the limits of Geauga county. The first frame house of the new town was now built for the family of Capt. Skinner. Here lawyers, judges, members of Congress, and the early governors, met with the free hospitality of these old pioneer days. This house is still in repair and occupied by a great-grandson of its original owner. In 1810 Geauga county was diminished by two-thirds of its former territory, and in 1812 the county seat was removed to Chardon. That same year Capt. Skinner laid out the was helated at song efforts 53 village of Fairport, and was one of the most effi- cient men in getting appropriations for its harbor. It is said of him, that being a man of large means, and his farm always well stocked, he was thus enabled to be a source of some help to the poorer settlers, that "polite to every body and generous to the needy and suffering everywhere, Capt. Skinner occupied a prominent place among the people of his day.” A notice of his death on Jan. 14, 1826 at the age of seventy-one may be found printed in an early copy of the Painesville Telegraph of Jan. 21, 1826. He was buried with Masonic honors. In Capt. Skinner's direct line, the name has not been perpetuated, only the descendants of his daughters, Mrs. Mary S. Hine, and Mrs. Paulina Perry being now alive. Of his children's child- ren but one is now living, Mr. Augustus Hine, formerly of this place, now residing in Los Angeles, California. SAMUEL SMEAD, 1748-1842. Samuel Smead of Deerfield, Mass., was born Jan. 18, 1748, and died in Madison, Ohio, Oct. 26, 1842, aged nearly ninety-four years. He is buried in the cemetery at Madison vil- lage. He enlisted from Deerfield in Apr. 1775, to serve in the Revolutionary War, as private under Capt. Joseph Lock. Another enlistment in Dec. 1775 under Capt. Leonard and Col. Woodbridge. Again in Aug. 1776, for three months with Capt. Samuel Taylor. In August, 1777, he was sergeant under Capt. Sheldon. He received a pension. 54 MARAUCHIE VAN ORDEN SPERRY, 1754- 1845. Marauchie Van Orden Sperry seems entitled to a record among the brave ones of the Revolu- tion. She was born in Holland in 1754, daughter of Pieter Van Orden, came to New York in childhood, was driven from the city by Lord Howe's forces, married Lieut. Elizah Sperry in April 1779, died in Kirtland, Ohio, May 13, 1845, and is buried in the “Angel” burial ground.

He landed in Philadelphia, and was sold for a term of nine years, but at the end of seven years the purchaser died and Wirt was released. This occurred about the time of the opening of the Revolutionary War, so he must have been 59 close to fifteen when he enlisted as a teamster in the army. The only battle he is said to have witnessed was that of Brandywine. At the close of the war he located on the Schuylkill river at Reading. He married Cath- erine Homan.

On May 4, 1799 he was married to Malinda Eaton, a daughter of Nathan Eaton, who was also a Revolutionary Soldier. 61 William Wyman Sr., married Margaret Holmes, of Scotland, who was left in the forests of Vermont with her three sons, the oldest thir- teen years of age, while her husband and two older sons, Henry and William served in the war. William Wyman Jr., spent most of his life in Vermont, following his sons Guy and Don to Perry, Ohio, where he and his widow are buried, she living until Oct. 16, 1865. Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Geauga County, Ohio. Until 1840, Lake and Geauga Counties were one, under the name of Geauga, most of these Rev- olutionary Soldiers who were pensioners received their pension under the Act of 1832, while Lake Co. was a part of Geauga. The primary work of New Connecticut Chap- ter was locating Lake County's soldiers, but in so doing, we have located by townships the fol- lowing list for Geauga Co., hoping some one will be patriotic enough to make it a complete list, giving the military record of each, with dates of birth and death, and the place of burial.

Samuel Huntington's House-Built in 1810-Photographed 1902 New Connecticut Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (1) To perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence, by the acquisi- tion and protection of historical spots, and the erection of monuments; by the encouragement of historical research in relation to the Revolution and the publication of its results; by the preservation of documents and relics, and of the records of the individual services of Revolutionary soldiers and patriots, and by the promotion of celebrations of all patriotic anni- versaries. (2) To carry out the injunction of Washington in his fare- well address to the American people, "To promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge," thus developing an enlightened public opinion, and affording to young and old such advantages as shall de- velop in them the largest capacity for performing the duties of American citizens. (3) To cherish, maintain, and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of coun- try, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty. These are the objects of the society called The Daughters of the American Revolution. The Chapter at Painesville, Ohio, bearing the name "New Connecticut,” has in its five years of existence endeavored to carry out these duties in many prac- tical ways. Springing into existence just at the time of the war with Spain for the freedom of Cuba, the work of the Chapter cen- tered on rendering assistance to our soldiers, especially Com- pany M, of the 5th Ohio Regiment, which was recruited in Painesville. Time and money were freely spent to make their life in the swamps of Florida more endurable. Much aid was given the Red Cross Society; money contributed to the Hos- pital Launch “Missouri,” and no opportunity lost to help bear the misfortunes of war, and to relieve the suffering. Prizes have been given for the best essays on Historical subjects, by High School pupils. The practical aid from the Chapter made it possible to 71 erect a monument to Gen. Edward Paine, a Revolutionary officer; the founder of Painesville, and the one whose name it had borne for a century. Through the influence of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Painesville's Centennial was celebrated, and a his- torical paper published to commemorate the day. Our soldiers in the Philippines have been remembered with books and money for the Ohio alcove of the library at Manilla. A book-case in the Painesville Public Library holds many valuable historical works, loaned to, or purchased by the society. The Chapter contributes to the erection of Continental Hall, in Washington, D. C., which shall be a lasting memorial to all Revolutionary soldiers and sailors. During the five years of its existence, the society has given more than $500 for patriotic and benevolent purposes. Its last work, though not the least, has been the locating of the Revolutionary Soldiers' graves of Lake County, and bringing to memory the lives of those men who achieved American Independence first, and afterward bore the hard- ships incident to the settling of a new country. It was a fear- less spirit, coupled with necessity, that led them to undertake the dangerous task of subduing the western wilderness, The name of the Chapter, New Connecticut, is an inspira- tion, being the first name given to this part of the country by the surveying party of Moses Cleaveland. On this occasion, the fifty men, women, and children of the party having landed at “Corneaught” creek on Monday, July 4, 1796, after a peri- lous journey by land and water, ranged themselves on the beach of old Lake Erie, and fired a Federal salute of fifteen rounds, and then in honor of the new state, to be founded, they fired a sixteenth to the name of "New Connecticut." As we offer the results of our labors to an indulgent public, we feel that it is not inappropriate to allude to, and commend the earnest, the patriotic, the sisterly spirit that has at all times pervaded and characterized our chapter, and to look forward to a continuation of such valuable and appropriate work in our special lines, as such a spirit alone is able to insure. 72 Membership Roll of New Connecticut Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Painesville Ohio, 1902.
